Chapter 22

Third Person

As the three men took you to one of their hideouts, Sasuke had laid you on one of the beds and even though the other two walked out of the room so you can rest and they can discuss what to do further to get back at Shisui, Sasuke decided to stay a little longer, his eyes glued on your unconscious state.

He felt guilty, the guilt was overpowering him as he watched your chest rise and fall. Of course this wouldn't have happened if none of them had gotten involved with you and as much as he wanted to blame his idiotic older brother, he was as much to blame as Obito and Itachi.

Although they had gone much further with you than he did, he still felt at fault and felt as if he could have prevented this if he used his brain but he didn't want to really dwell on it too much, it would only mess with his head even more.

As he sat in there for close to 30 minutes, he could see your body stir on the bed out of the corner of his eye which had caused his head to snap in your direction in an instant. Your eyes had fluttered open a couple of times, trying to adjust to your surroundings but once your mind had remembered what happened, you shot up in the bed in a panicked state.

"Hey, you're alright." Sasuke spoke, almost startled by the sudden movements you made and when the both of them had connected eyes, you instantly threw your arms around him in a tight hug.

Sasuke felt relived as he felt your death grip around his neck, hearing your breathing as you began to take in deep breaths, trying to calm yourself down as you took in his scent. The memory of Shisui drugging you and his words glued to your brain as he spoke about wanting you dead but wanting to mess with his cousins more. It had left you with more questions than answers at this point.

You had pulled away from Sasuke, seeing the softness in his eyes as he stared at you for the longest time, not knowing what to really say. Should he apologize or should he just stay quiet? He didn't really know and he didn't want to push you away or cause any triggers that could have you upset.

"Why?" You softly asked, a question he was more nervous to answer.

"Why what?" He acted stupid but he knew why you were asking that particular question.

"He said he did this because of you guys. Why me?" Your voice was hoarse, the soreness and dryness in your throat was causing a bit of pain to shoot through your neck.

Sasuke had sighed softly, his large hand reaching over to grab a hold of your dirty hand. You were still dirty from not having a shower in a while. Being locked in a filthy room had caused you to lose yourself and your appearance, you felt ugly and you wanted to hide but at the same time you couldn't bother to really pay much attention.

"We..." He started to say before closing his mouth, should he speak the truth? Should he tell you that their job was to watch you? He couldn't handle lying but he also couldn't handle the thought of you getting angry at them.

"Shisui has always been jealous." Sasuke somewhat lied but still told the truth, their cousin always had a sense of jealousy.

"Jealous enough to kidnap me?" You questioned, not really buying the story but the sound of someone clearing their throat had sent both of your eyes to the door, seeing Obito stand there.

"We were told to watch you." Obito said truthfully, he didn't want to keep anything from you and he didn't bother to care about the consequences because deep down he knew the connection between you two were greater than that.
