Stay Close to Me (Gaara X Lee)

Big Gamble

Flashback to 8 years ago

Third Person POV
"Gaara! Get your ass down here, now!" Rasa yelled and awoke Gaara from his short slumber. Gaara was scared for what his father would do if he wasn't fast enough. So he jolted out of bed and ran until he got out the door, then walked calmly down the stairs.
"Y-yes father?" Gaara tried to hide that he was scared, while Rasa smirked.
"Go get into your best clothes. We're going out." He shoved the small boy up the stairs as the boy tripped and stumbled up the stairs.
"Yes father.." He walked into his bedroom and put on his best jeans, which were a little tattered up and small, and a collared shirt. After his shoes and socks were slipped on, Gaara walked out of his bedroom and back down the stairs.
"Why are you walking so funny?" Rasa hissed at the small boy.
Gaara didn't want to tell him that his jeans were too small, so he came up with an excuse. "I slept wrong last night, so my legs are a little sore.." he spoke up quietly.
"Well.." Rasa walked towards him and picked him up by the collar of his shirt and got close to his face. "You might want to think about sleeping better so you're not sore for your big day.
'Big day? What does he mean?' Gaara thought up in his head, but didn't ask out loud.
"Yes father, I will." He struggled against Rasa's grip. But he only ended up getting thrown at the wall. The child cried out in pain and held back the tears.
"Get up, we're leaving now." His father said sternly and grabbed the keys.
Gaara looked up the stairs to see Temari and Kankuro huddled up together, scared and worried for their younger brother.
'Why were they so worried? What's going on?' Gaara was really scared now.
"NOW!" Rasa screamed with venom in his voice. The small boy flinched and ran out the door, shutting it behind him.
2 hours later
The long and horrible drive ended when Rasa parked the car next to the entrance of a sketchy looking shed.
Gaara looked out the window of the car and his father spout out commands, saying "get out of the car."
Rasa grabbed his wrist and yanked him out the car and Gaara yelled out in pain.
He was pulled to the entrance of the shed and a loud bang hurt Gaara's ears.
"Come in." A smooth voice called out and Rasa opened the door and shut the door just as fast. Gaara standing at his side.
"You must be Orochimaru." Rasa put on his business face as Gaara looked at this Orochimaru guy. The man had long black hair, pale skin and golden snake-like eyes. His face lit up with a smirk.
"Yes, I understand you would like to make a trade." Orochimaru laced his fingers together and continued to smirk. "1 million for your child right there."
Gaara's heart dropped and his face became pale. 'He want's to sell me??' "Yes." Rasa shoved Gaara forward, causing him to stumble. "But I don't understand what you want with this murderer." He spat out.
Orochimaru let out a venomous laugh. "Oh, I have plenty of use for this.. elegant boy here." The man stood up and circled around Gaara.
"Hmm, yes, quite useful."
"Whatever, just give me the money and I'll be off your tail." Rasa crossed his arms as Gaara started to protest, "But father! I-" The next thing Gaara knew, he was punched in the cheek and flung to the wall. He let out a cry.
"Who said you were allowed to speak?!" Rasa yelled at the small boy.
"Now now, boys, calm down." Orochimaru picked up the brief case and opened it up, revealing huge wads of cash. "It's all right here, you may take it and I'll take your son."
Gaara tried to stand up but it was no use, he just got kicked down by Rasa again. That was the last time he ever saw his father's face before he blacked out.

Gaara's (Now 15 years old) POV
"Gaara, the master wants to see you." Kabuto smirked and walked out of the room.
Oh lovely, just when I felt a little peace for a few minutes. I get up from the seat I was in and walk to Orochimaru's room, knocking at the door. "Master, it's me."
"Come in, child." His voice just as venomous as ever.
I took a deep breath before opening the door and stepping inside the huge room, shutting the door behind me.
"A little birdie told me that you were trying to escape from here, once again. Care to explain child?" Orochimaru stands up and walks towards me.
I remain poker faced and unphased, I was used to this by now.
"I don't have a reason, other than I want to get the fuck out of here." I spat in his mouth and glared.
Boy was Orochimaru pissed off. He shoved me harshly against the bed and ripped out clothes off and started kissing all over my body. I tried kicking him away but with me being small, he dominated over me and proceeded to rape me.
All of a sudden, an explosion at the wall startled both of us.
"Hands in the air!" A woman came in with a swat team and glared at Orochimaru. "Orochimaru, you're under arrest for the rape and enslavement of multiple children." A swat member pulled him off of me while I kept my hands up. "Anything you say will be accounted in the court of law..." I stopped listening as Orochimaru was being pulled away. Was I finally free?
The woman walked up to me and I got a good look at her, she had long blonde hair with admittedly a big bust.
She gave me a soft smile. "Rasa was taken into custody to. You will be taken to your brother and sister's house. As soon as you get there, you'll be moving to Konoha. To start a new life." She was careful to help me out of the building as  I was shaking. For the first time in years, I was crying as the lady took me to a medic, to see if there were any injuries.
"You only have bruises and minor abrasions, but other than that, you don't have any life threatening injuries. Miss Tsunade can take you back to your brother and sister, now." The medic told me as I turn to Tsunade.
"Thank you." I mumble quietly. The lady gave a slight nod and took me to her car.
