Chapter 2

Sasuke Says.

September 14th, 16:47

A deep groan slid up a tanned throat, Naruto's eyebrows coming down into a frown, head turning to the side before he straightened it. As consciousness slowly returned to him, the blond could feel pain pulsing through his brain with each pump of his heart, but he did his best to ignore it, struggling through the black murkiness of sleep to reach the surface and become more awake.

The first thing his brain clued in to-aside from how much pain it was in-was that he was lying on a cold, hard surface. He slowly sat up, his entire body aching in places he didn't remember getting hit. He could only assume they'd let him bounce around in the back of the van for God knew how long. It felt like he'd gotten tackled by an entire football team.

Once he was in a sitting position, his body having protested the movement, he blinked open his eyes to make a mental inventory of where he was. All he saw was black. Frowning, he blinked again, and deduced either the room was pitch black, his eyes were covered, or he was blind.

Personally, he was hoping for one of the first two because he really didn't like the thought of being blind, he would have more issues than he already did.

Reaching up to figure out if the scratchy feeling on his nose meant his eyes were covered, the blond froze when he heard chains rattling. Staying still for a few seconds and trying to analyze the situation, he listened hard to see if anyone had heard him. He wanted a little bit of time alone before his kidnappers decided to come back for a visit.

He heard nothing, so slowly, he felt at his wrists, finding metal cuffs closed around them. As quietly as he could manage, he followed one of the chains up its length to find it hooked into a metal loop embedded in the wall. Okay, so the chances of getting out of his chains that way wasn't going to happen.

He returned his focus to the cuffs around his wrist, finding there were two latches on them. One seemed to be the release for them, and the other made it seem as though they could double as handcuffs, linking both his hands together instead of them being free like they currently were. A shift of his feet informed him he also had shackles around his ankles.

Wow, whoever these people are, they really didn't hold back. The blond wasn't worried yet. He knew he had at least twenty-four hours before his chances of survival diminished. He watched TV, he knew these things.

Still unable to see, the blond tested the length of the chains, raising his hands towards his face, and was pleased when he found he could actually reach it. He touched at whatever was covering his eyes and frowned at the texture, not sure he recognized it.

"It's plaster."

The blond jumped a mile high at the voice, not having considered that someone may have been there. He hadn't heard anything when he'd listened earlier, but that just meant the other had stopped moving once it became clear Naruto was waking up. That made him wonder if that meant the man had been watching him sleep.

As creepy as that was, Naruto was also a little self-conscious at the thought and quickly wiped at his mouth in case he'd been drooling. How sexy that would have been, right? Luckily, he'd retained at least a fraction of his dignity because there was nothing there.

"Plaster?" Whoa! Was that his voice?! I sound like someone took a chunk of sandpaper to my throat! Shit, that must've been some nap! He shook his head and cleared his throat, trying to make it sound less gravelly. "What do you mean plaster?" he tried again, more pleased with the results.

"We took a cast of your face to ensure you wouldn't be able to see," was the only response he received.

If this is made of plaster... then I can probably get it off!
