I'm Alone

Chapter 1 - Finding Naruto

Naruto flinched when he heard the door open. His eyes squinted at the harsh light.

"Up for another round demon?" A man with white hair walked in, pulled Naruto up by his hair and smiled. "I know you must have felt neglected this past week with me not being around, but if you are good today.... Well you'll see."

The torture lasted an hour, screams were heard throughout the basement as they echoed off the walls. Mizuki had spent much time into planning how he could hurt the boy, his favourite thing to do was chain the boy's arms to the wall and whips his back bloody. When the boy got to loud, he'd take off his shoes and socks and put them in his mouth making sure no sound could pass through the sweaty garments. Sometimes the young child would pass out from the pain, it was a disappointment yes, but he liked to wake him up with putting his cigarette buds on his bare skin. Making patterns that looked like swirls and shapes that he found pretty.

"Well done, now I told you I had a treat for you. Just wait a few more days- He's early." He was cut off by the sound of banging at the door. Mizuki went upstairs and opened the door, there was more shouting. Footsteps were everywhere on the floor above. Naruto couldn't make out what the voices were saying so he decided to give in to the darkness until the pain came again.

Kakashi had gotten a tip that there was screaming from a house on an old street, he grabbed a team of officers and his superior Jiraiya and headed over to the sight. He banged on the door and it was opened by a man who was covered in blood. Jiraiya yelled at him and everyone started looking all over from what the blood came from since there was no visible wounds on the man himself and didn't seem to be in any pain at first glance. Men went upstairs to secure the house, but what caught Kakashi's his eye was a small door on the side of the stairway that led down to a locked metal door. Acting with extreme caution he shot the lock with his gun and slowly opened the door to find darkness. He pulled out the torch that was strapped to his hip and flicked it on, moving it around until the beam of light landed on a limp figure that made out to a young boy.

"Oh my god. Jiraiya! There's a kid down here!" He slowly approached hoping not to scare the battered boy. "Hey kid are you alright?"

The kid groaned too tired to move to see who it was but it was too dark.

"Kakashi what's wrong?" Another man came down and stared in shock at where the small light had landed, he turned to see the light switch that was on the side of the wall and turned it on illuminating the entire space. The sight of the room shocked the two grown men, there was blood and urine staining the cold concrete floor and all sorts of weapons and dangerous objects scattered on benches and hung on the wall. What shocked them he most was the sight of the young boy chained to the wall with scars all over his body, you could practically count every bone in his body and he was only wearing a pair of tattered shorts. His hair was a dark brown that was covered in dirt that littered the rest of his beaten body. The boy had multiple lacerations on his back that were still bleeding dark red, Kakashi deducted that this was the blood that stained the man who opened the door.

"Hey kid can you tell me your name?"

The boy looked up through glazed eyes, when they finally did focus he flinched back from kakashi and hit his head against the back wall. In an all out panic he tried to raise his hands to protect his face but they were chained to the wall. Kakashi knew that the only person who could calm this down was his husband Iruka.

'Just do what Iruka would do and this should work out fine.'

"Hey, don't worry. We are going to get you outside, away from this place." Kakashi smiled warmly at the boy. "You won't get hurt like this anymore, you'll be safe."
