I'm Not Your Weapon {sasunaru fic}

Chapter 2: Closer To Finding Him

     Naruto pov
How long have I been here?... In this dark room. No windows. Damp and cold. The only light is the sliver under the door. I still wonder what is on the other side. I've only seen glimpses when they open the door to get me. But they always have that burlap sack to put over my head. I can't see through it at all. I'm not sure if its because of how thick it is or if it's cause my eyes are still adjusting from the light change.
     It's always men with giant arms and hands. They come in with the sack and shove it over my face. I try struggling but they grab my arms and legs. I hear the rustling of chains and I feel the hard metal let go of my skin. The cuffs being taken off of my ankles and wrists would have been a useful chance to escape, if my veins weren't pumping that poison through out my body.
     At this point my limbs won't move and my head is no longer able to keep itself up right. My toes are scraping against the ground while I'm carried. I can feel the change in temperature as I pass through the door. The outside of my room is always warmer. But I also feel the extreme cold that covers my body when I enter the lab.
     The door closes behind me while my body is still being dragged. I'm lifted for a moment and set down on my back. I already know where I am. I'm on the same metal table that I was on when I was first brought to this place. By this time my arms, legs, waist, and chest are held down by the metal straps that scrape against my skin. The only thing I'm wearing is a pair of pants so I jolt when the cold metal touched my stomach. They take off the burlap sack and I hear footsteps.
     "Naru~ I'm so excited for our play time today. Today we have a wonderful selection of poisons that will be injected into your beautiful little body, bolts of electricity that make your body surge up and down in a manner that I love, and we also have some visitors for you Naru~"
I don't remember when he got so pervy. He just started saying things about my body and wanting to do stuff to it. But I can't really complain. He hasn't done anything so I guess it doesn't matter.
I felt the usual prick on the inside of my elbow and a trickle of blood crawling down to till I felt it on the bottom of my elbow. And then... It began.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sasuke's pov
Nothing. No trail. No information. Not one thing about where Naruto was. It's been two years!!
All I can do at the moment is sit in my office room and wait for the rest of the team to get back. The room consists of a table and a few couches. Surrounding that is hundreds of papers, folders, and pictures. All attempts to find him. And all in vain.
Right now Sakura and kakashi are out searching for the 506th time. I've been keeping track of all the failed searches.
     'When will this end?..I just want to see him so bad.'
     My head aches and the room's lighting isn't helping so I lay my head down on my desk. I only meant to close my eyes for a few seconds, but I had already fallen into deep sleep.
     I wake up quick though as the door slams open. How long was I out? It felt like only a minute. But looking at the clock on the wall.
     'It's been almost an hour and a half....'
     I look to see who slammed the door so unnecessarily loud and found Sakura slightly panting holding a cream folder in her arm. It's unusual so I start to speak but she's already jumped over to my desk.
      "Sasuke we've found something!"
     Maybe a year ago I would have hopped out of my chair and bolted to wherever Sakura said there was a clue, but after getting my hopes up so many times and having it turn out to be nothing but a dead end I've learned to expect anything but something useful.
     She hurriedly pulled me down the stairs and dragged me to a room two floors down.
     She knocked on the door and Kakashi slowly opened it only to have Sakura slam it open with the same unnecessary force as before. The two walked in the room and I followed. The roomed seemed to be an interrogation room with a one way mirror and a person covered in blood sitting tied to a chair in the other side.
     Sakura sat down at a seat and slapped the cream folder down on the desk. Kakashi didn't sit and stood in the corner of the room. There was silence till they motioned me to come over and sit. So I did. And Sakura spoke.
     "We didn't want to do anything without you, but we also didn't want you to be disappointed again."
     She opened the folder after a pause and turned it in my direction. There were pictures, a few of them. She spread them out on display so I could see each one. She started speaking again.
     "Our suspect gives out info for money, and when we asked about Naruto he had no idea"
     I almost started drifting off back to sleep when I heard that. But I decided to hear the rest anyway.
     "But when we asked him about the nine tails, we got enough info to send out a search team tomorrow morning."
     My eyes opened wide. And my heart was racing. Almost as if I had heard her say Naruto was waiting for me outside.
"It actually wasn't as hard to make him talk as we thought it'd be. Maybe 5 minutes in to the interrogation we offered a bit of money and he spilled out everything."
I looked at the guy in the chair on the other side of the wall. He looked just like an average person. You wouldn't look twice if you passed him. But that average person may be the reason I see my Naruto again.
I looked back at Sakura, I wanted to know more.
"Well what'd he say? Where is he?"
"Well we don't have an exact spot but a general area. A large lake on the outside of the Hidden Waterfalls Village. It's home to an extremely small town with barely 40 people in it. I've never even heard of it. Hell the guy we interrogated didn't even know a name. Anyway. He says there's an area where he and others like him gather to swap info. He got info that a group had been forming, and that one of the members told him about what they were working on..."
Sakura took a sec, looked down and coughed a bit, then continued hesitantly.
"...they want to control the ninetail's power... Sasuke, they want to make Naruto a weapon."
It all made no sense at first. I don't see Naruto as dorm thing like that, I see my lover. Sure there was a time when I thought that as a kid but I've grown, and now when I see his face or think of his face I see the only person in the world I'll ever care for. But they... They want to use him as a weapon? What for? And why?
Kakashi stepped forward as if he knew what I was asking in my mind.
"Ofcourse we have to save Naruto, but then we have to find out what it is that they want to use him as a weapon for. We must see if the Leaf village is in danger. Tomorrow we'll send out a few of our shinobi to search for any unusual areas and possibly find where the group is stationed. Sasuke, you may want to stay here."
"Wait, what? You actually expect me to stay? I've been searching for him for two years straight with no break and you want me to stay here in the village with my thumb up my ass while some random shinobi try to find MY Naruto?!"
At this point I was standing with my hands flat on the table staring at Kakashi. It's been a long time since I've lost my cool this bad, no matter how many times I thought we may have a chance only to be filled with anger and disappointment I never flipped out like that. I knew it wasn't Kakashi or Sakura's fault. But how could he expect me to stay behind? I can't. Not when there's a chance this big that my Naruto can be in my arms again.
"If I'm being perfectly honest with you Sasuke, I don't trust you switch this particular one. If you DO find the group, you know the first thing you'll do is let out two years worth of frustration and anger on the lot of them. But you'll go in completely blind of the strength of the enemy. You'll be killed. No matter how strong you think you are, there's a big chance they can beat you, and you're no good to Naruto if you're dead."
"Well if that's true then what if they know we've found them and they run away? WITH Naruto. It's better we see for ourself rather than wait till they've already uprooted themselves and taken Naruto with them."
Sakura stepped in as soon as I finished.
"You really want to try and fight them? You couldn't last time and we barely held them off ourselves! How strong do you think you are Sasuke!? They were able to kidnap Naruto with the three of us there and apparently they're strong enough to try and use the ninetails as a weapon! If you go in there blind like you are now, you'll get yourself killed, and maybe even get Naruto killed with you."
We were silent. I sat down slowly with my eyes closed. I knew fighting them would be absolutely pointless. But I was still going. No matter what. Whether they know it or not.
     Sakura stayed in the position she was in. During her little rant she ended up in the same position I was in. Kakashi just looked calm as if it didn't happen and walked out of the room. Not wanting to be alone with Sakura after she just chewed me out, I got up and went home.
     What was the point of me staying? Sure they could be stronger but if beat them. The only reason they got me last time was cause I was so freaked about Naruto. I'll be calmer. Yeah. For sure. I have to go. Tomorrow I'll go with the shinobi to find Naruto. Kakashi doesn't even have to know. By the time they realize I've gone I'll be half way to my Naruto.
     I got home and started packing my bag. Just something small. An extra pair of clothes, some essentials, and weapons. Just enough to get by but not so much that I'll be held down. I don't know if I'll sleep tonight. Odds are I'll be staring at the ceiling till morning. But whatever. It'll just be more time for me to prepare. And plan.
     I got in to bed with my bag on the floor beside me.
     I'll find you Naruto. I promise.

Naruto's pov
     It hurts...I want it to stop...there's a massive contradiction happening in my body. The beast inside me wants to be released immediately and tear the flesh of everyone in sight, but this poison they've pushed through my body keeps the beast held down and unable to move. Same goes for my body. I don't feel an ounce of energy in my body.
     After being in this dark room for so long, my eyes have adjusted to seeing some things. But not much. The room has nothing in it except me as far as I'm concerned. The walls feel like rock or something earthy. Nothing like and my old apartment. The ground is sorta sandy but thicker. Like dirt. It's weird though, because the floor in the lab and hallway feels like tile.
     I feel a slightly sharp object near my hand and grab it. It's a rock. Pretty normal. They fall from the ceiling sometimes and hit me on the head.
     All I can think about is Sasuke. I still don't know how many days have passed it feels like 10 years. A part of me is scared it's only been a week, and another part is scared it's been 20 years. I can't tell. I've lost track completely. And what they put me on makes my mind all fuzzy. And I feel like I'm about to pass out and also wake up really fast at the same time. It's doesn't make much sense but that's the only way I can describe it.
     I hold the rock in my hand and feel it's edges and cracks. My finger retreats quickly and I realize it's sharp. Well not as sharp as a knife but fairly pointy. I couldn't kill someone with it but I could cut someone if I hit hard enough.
     I hold it with my pinky closest to the sharp side and write out Sasuke's name as best I can without any light.
When I finish I trace my fingers over the carvings gently. It brings me comfort but also sadness. It distracts me from my hunger aches and the pain of the poison in my blood.
But it reminds me of him and us. And of when I was taken. My Sasuke...I can't tell if I still have the scar on my back of when I saved him. Has it been long enough for it to scar over?
My thoughts are interrupted when I hear the hallway fill with footsteps coming closer. It was quite a few of them actually. I could barely separate each one.
     It was only a second before the footsteps stopped and the locks on my door were being unlocked. The first lock, second, and the last. Then the door started creaking open and just as it had started opening one of the men was already shoving the bag over my head. They picked me and up and took off my chains as usual. But unusually I heard someone talk.
     "Why is he chained up? I'm sure he's not going to hurt anyone, right?"
     It was a deep and low voice. Almost made me jump. His voice was strange though...it was so much more warming and welcoming as everyone else's.
The question was left unanswered for the man.
By the time their small conversation was over, we were at the lab and my body was being set on the table. The man with the welcoming voice must be the visitor that I was told about.
    Before I could think about him anymore I was poked with the needle I'd become so accustomed to.
     "And this stuff is supposed to suppress the ninetails?"
     "Why yes Mr. Hiro, you see, we've come across an extraordinary opportunity in our hands. This is why I've brought you here today. You're an amazing scientist and I want your help with this. Mr. Hiro what we have here is a boy holding a monster inside of him. And that monster is very powerful. But Ofcourse, you know that already. We want to use this pois-ahem, medicine, to tame the beast. Now we know your type of person, the type that cares for people easily, and honestly that's just the opposite of myself. But besides that, your brain, ohhhh your marvelous brain~ I'd kill for it you know. We need that brain, we need you. Now enough of the talking, how about I just demonstrate me and Naru's little electricity show~"
     The man now known as Mr. Hiro looked slightly confused the entire conversation, but when my tormentor said 'electricity show' the look on the man's face was a mix of harder confusion and slight dread. He had no idea what was about to happen yet already had a look of dread. Well if that's his face now I can't wait to see it after the electricity is turned on.
     "Now what we start with is the liquid. We inject it in to his veins and it's supposed to completely tame the beast. But the beast isn't really triggered to pop out unless the boy is well, in pain or danger. This is where the electricity comes in."
     His face, it's filled with dread again. Like he...cares. It's been so long since I've seen a face like that. Not since, since...Sasuke...
     The so called 'medicine' was turned on and moved down the tube in to the syringe type needle and was forced in to my body. It burns the same as usual. But still forces me to scream as if that'll save me.
I stop screaming for a moment and just grit my teeth in terrible pain.
"What we're doing is seeing if this is the right serum. Every serum we test is just slightly different. It's quite difficult for most to understand how this will tame the beast but if anyone would understand it is you. We inject the serum and turn on the electricity. What we're looking for is for the beast to start breaking out a bit so we can use a jutsu I developed myself to link my chakra with the beast's. Then I'll be able to work on controlling it."

Hey guys. Working on updating most of my works. Not sure if I was able to get all the spelling checked or make sure all the plot holes are gone but I did my best. Hope you enjoyed.
