A.N.- Okay! I nearly forgot to update this fic! But I must make a point . . . I didn't mean for anyone to hate Kakashi. It was simply something of "You can't help those who don't want to be helped.” You all will hear more of this as the fic goes, and you'll see why Kakashi said what he did, and why he hasn't helped out. And all that. Anyhow, thanks for reviewing, all of you!
Chapter 6: Vacant

Kakashi stopped the car in front of the Uchiha Mansion Entre Gates, thinking of a way to get in without making a scene; like ramming the car into the gate, or attacking all the Guards marching to and fro, in the yard.

Iruka was sitting in the passenger seat, stunned silent. He'd spent years and years studying Psychiatry, and hours and hours studying the human mind, but this . . . this, wasn't something he expected to hit so close to home[1]. Sure, he dealt with children and other troubled youths who had been abused, some physically and some sexually, and some both, but none of them were from his neighborhood, none of them he knew personally(only professionally), and none of them were his son's boyfriend.

The brown-haired man couldn't think of anything to say. He suddenly felt like he should talk with Sasuke about his situation, knowing that the young Uchiha wouldn't want to speak of it. Iruka realized, now, why Sasuke was over their apartment so much. Why Naruto went through so much trouble to be with the one he loved. And why Sasuke was so closed off to everyone and everything, except Naruto, who obviously knew what was going on.

Kakashi sighed, putting the car in reverse. "We can't get in-"

"No!" Iruka interrupted, "We have to get in, now! Imagine what-"

Kakashi placed his hand over Iruka's mouth. "If you had let me finish . . . We can't get in this way. The gates' are made of steel, it'll dent the car, leaving us stranded, and still locked out of the gate."

The younger of the two shook his head, shaking his boyfriend's hand off his mouth, "Park the car. We can jump the gate, right?"

Kakashi raised his visible eyebrow, nodding his head a little, "Of course we could jump the gate but then what?" He pulled the car on the side of the road, out of eyesight of the Mansion, " Neither of us know where Sasuke nor Naruto is . . . We would be lost in a maze, if we went in."

Iruka nodded, picking up his cell phone. "You're right, " He said, getting back to the number Naruto called from, "We'll just have them come out to us, or tell us where they are. " Pressing 'Send', Iruka waited for Naruto to, hopefully, pick the phone up.

Last thing he needed was for Itachi or someone to answer . . .

***

The raven-haired teen sat on the edge of the bed, still in pain, but it was dull. He kept his head down as Naruto paced around the room, thinking(or trying to, at least).

Sasuke could feel his aggravation level raising with every step Naruto took. It was harder for him to think, what, with the pain and worrying of Itachi, now he had to tone out Naruto's mumbles!

"Dobe, please . . . stop. Sit."

Naruto looked over at Sasuke, a bit uncomfortable. Sasuke's voice was still a bit hoarse, Naruto noted, that's probably why the raven-haired teen spoke in a whisper; hoping Naruto wouldn't hear it in his voice.

The blonde haired teenager sighed, and took a seat on the bed beside Sasuke. "Well, what do you suppose we do? We can't just sit here."

Sasuke sighed and stood up, heading to the balcony. He peeked out the curtains, noting all the Guards around, and turned back to Naruto. "Have you spoken to Iruka?"

Naruto nodded, also standing up. "Yea. He and Kakashi are on their way, but I don't think they can do anything. Itachi's like-"

"I know, " Sasuke half-growled, "There's no reason bringing them in. Call them and-"

The phone rang.

Sasuke looked at it, wasting no time as he approached the phone-beside his bed-and answered it.

"Sasuke speaking . . . "

"Sasuke?!"

Sasuke stared at his carpeted floor, before looking over to Naruto. "...Iruka?"

Naruto perked up, rushing to the phone. He noticed the look of utter disbelief on Sasuke's face, but chose to ignore it.

"Iruka?!" The blonde smiled, "Where are you guys?! Sasuke and I don't know how to get out of here without some help!"

Sasuke, from his place in his walk-in closet, could hear muffled mumbles coming from the phone, but he couldn't make out what was said. Luckily Naruto practically restated everything Iruka was saying . . .

"What do you mean you're out there in the street?!" He rushed over to the balcony, looking out. "I don't see you!"

Sasuke looked up when he heard Naruto exclaim that bit of information. He, too, rushed over to the balcony, looking out.

"Where are they, Naruto?"

Naruto shrugged, listening to Iruka speak. "So you need us to come out? Or open the gate? But if we do that, Itachi will know you're here!"

Sasuke snatched the phone from Naruto, turning his back to his lover. "Put Kakashi on the phone."

Naruto could hear his adoptive father say something, but Sasuke interrupted, telling him to put Kakashi on the phone again. When, Naruto assumed, Kakashi got the phone, Sasuke walked out onto the balcony, closing the glass doors behind. Effectively stopping Naruto from listening to what he had to say.

To say he felt . . . slightly jealous and hurt was an understatement. What did Sasuke have to tell Kakashi that he could say in front of him?! Naruto wondered. It wasn't like Sasuke and Kakashi were close . . . in fact, Naruto thought he was closer to Kakashi than his love, Sasuke, was.

Feeling obligated enough to listen in to the conversation, Naruto reopened the glass doors, walking out onto the balcony with Sasuke.

"...That was not your place to tell anyone any of my business, Kakashi!" Sasuke growled to the phone.

Naruto listened in, not trying at all to hide his presence, "Sasuke?"

The raven-haired teen turned toward his blonde boyfriend, staring angrily at Naruto. Even though he made eye contact with him, Sasuke spoke over the phone to Kakashi, "Do me a favor and mind your own business. I didn't ask you to tell Iruka or anyone else what goes on in my house." Here, Sasuke marched over to Naruto, and continued speaking to Kakashi, "Tell Iruka Naruto's fine. He'll be fine as long as I'm with him. And he'll leave here fine. I don't need you to tell the world of my problems, nor do I need your help."

Naruto blinked, a bit taken-aback at the way Sasuke was speaking to Kakashi. When Sasuke finished speaking, he shoved the phone at Naruto, marching back into his room.

Naruto watched Sasuke go, then looked out at the field of marching guards, then down to the phone in his hands. He could hear Iruka yelling into the phone, and truthfully, for the first time since his adoption to Iruka, he didn't feel like talking to the man. 

He pressed "end" on the phone, securely ending the call.

***

Sasuke marched angrily into his room, completely furious at Kakashi for telling Iruka of his situation. It wasn't that he was upset at Kakashi for telling ti to Iruka, but that he was upset that Kakashi felt he had a right to tell it at all.

Kakashi, himself, wasn't even suppose to know. It just so happened that he had-years ago-been in Itachi's company when the elder Uchiha happened to say a few things to Sasuke, which led Kakashi to jump to his own conclusions. Correct conclusions, but nonetheless his own; no proof.

That is, until a few months later, Kakashi-with his spontaneous appearances and disappearances-had popped up unannounced and saw Itachi . . . and Sasuke. Well, after that, Kakashi strayed off, not really taking the time to be in Itachi's company, anymore.

And though he had tried to get Sasuke to come with him [to the police] Sasuke had thoroughly refused, and even went as far as to rat Kakashi out to Itachi. Well, Kakashi had kept his distance since then.

True, he once had a cousin, Obito, who had tried to help, but like most people(not many, though) who had tried(and failed) to help, Obito vanished. Sasuke had admitted to himself at the time, he was surprised Kakashi(as persistent as he was at the time) hadn't vanished, too.

Sasuke snapped himself out of his reminiscing, forcing himself to think of Kakashi as the bad guy. He couldn't go against Itachi, even then at that young age . . . even now he can't. Kakashi wasn't much help, but then again, no one is. 

Forcing his mind to think of something more . . . possible, Sasuke tried to think of a way to get Naruto out, unharmed.

Itachi had his fun for today, most likely he wouldn't do anything too extreme to Sasuke for the rest of the day.

Naruto entered the room again, not even getting a glance from Sasuke, as the raven-haired teen sat angrily on his bed, again. Naruto, feeling a bit needy, though Sasuke was probably more needy, walked over toward the bed.

Right now, Naruto thought as he sat beside Sasuke's tense form, he needed some comforting; something he was sure Sasuke needed too.

So, wrapping his arms around the other teenager, Naruto kissed him on the cheek, pulling Sasuke closer to him. He fell back, so they both were lying on the bed, before he leaned over, kissing Sasuke on the lips.

For a moment, Sasuke didn't kiss back. In fact, he hadn't even parted his lips-something he usually does. Naruto noticed this, and pulled back a bit, looking into Sasuke's midnight eyes.

"...Sasuke?"

The pale boy just stared into his lover's blue eyes for a moment, before he wrapped his arms around Naruto's neck, burrowing his face there. His muffled reply of: "Not now . . . " was faintly heard by Naruto.

Nonetheless, Naruto stayed where he was. He was, obviously, confused as to why Sasuke would rather hug(and hide) than kiss, but he didn't complain. It wasn't like he wasn't used to Sasuke's withdrawals, but usually Sasuke wanted to be reassured. And what Sasuke considered reassurance, included kissing more than hugging.

"Okay, Sasuke. Whatever you want." He kissed the young Uchiha's cheek again, wrapping his arms around his neck, also. "We have to leave here, soon. Don't you think?"

Sasuke tensed. Naruto felt it but hoped he hadn't ruined the moment.

Sasuke wiggled a bit, easing out from under Naruto. "Kakashi and Iruka will be out there for a while, I'm guessing. The Guards don't go in until late tonight. And Kisame, Sasori, and Deidara don't ever go home, I think. Go out on the balcony. I’ll get a ladder to let you down. " As he said this, Sasuke headed toward the door. "I'll meet you at the park, down the road from your apartment, okay?"

Before Naruto could reply, Sasuke had unlocked the door, and headed out of the room, slamming the door shut, behind him.

Not sure what to do but obey, Naruto went out on the balcony, waiting for Sasuke. He'd try to convince him to come with him . . . and hopefully, Sasuke would make the right choice and come.

Naruto looked at the darkening sky. He didn't think he could deal with watching another session Itachi put Sasuke through. As a matter of fact, he didn't think Sasuke should have to handle another night with Itachi.

***

Iruka slammed the car door, walking toward the Uchiha mansion gates. He could hear Kakashi get out of the car also, and the quick footsteps told him that Kakashi was either running or walking fast.

"Iruka."

When a hand landed on his shoulder, Iruka turned around, and viciously slapped the hand off. "No. Kakashi . . . Kami knows what could be going on in there. It would take you no time to get over that fence, unnoticed, and into that house!"

Kakashi sighed. Why couldn't Iruka understand? For Kami's sake, he was a child psychiatrist!

"Listen carefully. I can jump fences, break into buildings, and help the helpless, but I can't force help on those who don't want it, Iruka. If Sasuke doesn't accept the help I've offered to him, then what I am to do? I can't force him."

Iruka looked shocked. "He's a child! He doesn't get to decide if he wants help! Especially in a situation like this!" he yelled, pointing a finger, angrily at Kakashi.

He'd never felt so much anger at one person before. Sure he'd been upset before, with Kakashi, but this was too far. He couldn't help his rising anger at his loved one, as Kakashi stared blankly at him.

"Iruka . . . "

"Don't 'Iruka' me! Help him!" He stressed.

Kakashi sighed, "Fine. I'll go in there, and kidnap Sasuke, if that's what you'd like."

Iruka made a sort of confused response before sighing, dejectedly, "But . . . " He sniffled, "If he stays . . . Imagine . . . "

The gray-haired man nodded, "I've tried before to get him to come, but he refused. Perhaps, this time, with you here, he'll change his mind."

Iruka nodded, leaning on Kakashi's chest while he wiped a tear from his cheek. "If Itachi hurts Naruto . . . "

Kakashi shook his head as he looked over at the Mansion, running a hand over Iruka's ponytail. "No . . . Itachi has no interest in just any young boys . . . he only has an interest in Sasuke."

Iruka didn't feel any better. He felt worse.

"And you're sure Sasuke would come forward?"

Kakashi shook his head, "You know as much about Sasuke's attitude as I do. WE can only hope, and try to persuade him to go against Itachi. It'll be hard, but . . . you know, one day, he's bound to get tired of this treatment."

The brunette nodded into Kakashi's chest, "Maybe one day too late . . . "

***

Sasuke slipped out of his room, heading toward the stairs. He'd send one of the Guards out to place the ladder, while he distracted Itachi.

It wouldn't be too hard to get Itachi's attention, and obviously Kisame and co. were bad a paying attention, anyway, so Sasuke figured Naruto should be able to get out of there. The Guards were simply paid to watch the estate, they'd do almost anything for a bonus, including going against something Itachi said.

But most likely, Itachi didn't waste his breath telling the Guards to keep 'a little blonde boy from escaping'. He didn't care about Naruto's interference or presence enough to kill him.

Besides, Sasuke knew, Itachi wouldn't harm Naruto at all, because he-Itachi-still had Sasuke. And as long as Sasuke was there to be his sexual outlet, no one would be . . . seriously harmed. Or killed. Hopefully.

***TBC***

A.N.- Finally! I tried to make this longer, but it's getting hard for me to write this. I'll have to stop waiting til the last minute to type these chapters. Usually ideas start coming to me, just after I post the previous chapter . . . but this time I got side tracked . . . Sorry. Hopefully the next chapter is longer! They seem to be getting shorter and shorter.

Thanks to all the wonderful reviews! Tessa! You never fail to review! I thought I had lost you for a second!

Again, thanks to all the reviewers! Your words keep me typing, and happy(even if the fic's depressing!). Look for an update either July 31st, or August 1st. I'm trying to keep my promises! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please review!
