Chapter 7

I'm updating...I think this story will be updated once every 3-4 weeks, because I was taking mental notes on how I did things and realized how lazy I am. It took me two weeks just to write one paragraph. Bad me.

Also, this is the last chapter to the first part of the story, The Price of an Uke's Life.

"We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey."

-Kenji Miyazawa

"The gods must love you. You have rolled for your final challenge the second of the pleasures in this game: Worshiping the Goddess!" Kazuki yelled out, causing the crowd to go wild.

Sasuke held an idea as to what the task entitled, but the challenge's title was too vague. He remained silent as Kazuki began to explain the challenge.

"You must publicly have sexual relations with the slave submissive you're fond of." The king said with a smile.

Shocked with the requirements of the task, he quickly gaped at Naruto, who stood concerned, not knowing what was wrong.

"How is this test for leadership?" Sasuke demanded.

Glaring at the young captain, Kazuki answered.

"A king must be able to breed strong healthy sons for future kings and beautiful daughters for national treaties. Without the ability to reproduce and pass down a name, what good is the king?"

"But surely you could find someone else instead of Naruto!" The Uchiha screamed.

"The entire Lion Game has been about the slave. You have gambled your life on his behalf and sacrificed for it as well. The fates have bound you to him and for that, he is the goddess in your world—He is whom you are to have and none other will fit." Kazuki explained.

Sasuke looked at Naruto and saw that Kakashi was explaining to him what was happening, and with Kakashi's final words of explanation, there upon Naruto's face was a look of horror. He could not do the act with the blond and faced Kazuki once more.

"My apologies your majesty, but I cannot disgrace him by completing the Lion Game. I must— "

Sasuke was cut off by Kakashi, who was now standing next to him, "He will do it, sire."

Sasuke looked at his subordinate in disbelief and then turned himself to look up at Naruto who help a look of sorrow in his eyes, but Sasuke knew what he was thinking. He was concerned about his freedom and if having sex with another man was his ticket out, he would concede.

Sasuke turned back to the king and asked for one request.

"Your majesty, for my personal beliefs, I cannot publicly fornicate. Can it somehow be done privately?"

"No. How else will we know if you fulfilled your duty."

After a long absence of speaking, Yalia chose to voice his thoughts.

"Your majesty, I have a compromise that might be of use. The captain will still fornicate publicly, but with only you and myself to witness their act. A judge and one witness should suffice to determine that the act was done."

And with that explanation, the rules for the final task was determined.

Sasuke was led to a room 20 minutes later by a servant. The room held Naruto (who had been led off earlier), stripped of his clothing and chained to a table top that held a few pillows. There would be no modesty in their act and to emphasize the situation, Yalia and Kazuki were less than 5 feet away from the table. Front and center.

Sasuke groaned mentally.

Sasuke stripped himself of his clothing, feeling disgusted with himself. Sasuke could not believe how strong Naruto remained strong throughout this whole ordeal. He felt humiliated by just stripping to his nudity in front of the king and judge. He could not imagine how it felt to do this all the time and then be raped. He swore right then and there that this moment would be the last for the blond.

The captain lifted himself up onto the table and turned for confirmation from the judge, who shook his head.

It was time.

Sasuke looked to his right and found personal lubricant.

"This should ease the pain" Sasuke thought, as he coated his fingers with the substance. He used his index finger to circle the blond's entrance, before pushing into the tight heat. He worked the finger to lube up the inside, before he inserted the others, stretching the blond to the maximum that his fingers would allow.

Sasuke leaned down across Naruto's back and whispered gently into the blond's ear,"I will be gentle." And the captain got a muffled cry in response.

"I will be gentle" was whispered in his ear, and Naruto could not voice his thoughts on hearing the words, because he was in a state of inner turmoil.

He was once again being deprived of his dignity and the worst part of it all was that he could not have the satisfaction loathing the man who was fucking him. He could not bring himself to hate the captain.

He could not hate his savior.

Sasuke liberally lubed his hardness with the oil that was provided for him, and lined up with the entrance to the blond. Taking a deep breath, he pushed into the blond and groaned. He was lost in the sensation of the moist heat. He had been so long deprived of the pleasure, so like a boy on his first try, he exploded without moving.

He barely caught himself from forcing his weight on the blond before he heard the laughter of the king.

"Captain! I would have expected more from you, but you ejaculate, thus proving yourself fertile. You have won the Lion Game, the submissive, and have given me one of the best laughs of my life." Kazuki said from the said, before getting up and leaving the room. Perhaps to inform his followers of the results. Yalia unlocked the chains from Naruto and then followed behind the king.

Sasuke slipped out of Naruto and began to wipe himself off. He wanted to say something—anything—to the blond, but was stopped by a look from the tear stained face of Naruto.

"I have won his freedom, but at what price?" Were the Uchiha's last thoughts.

A/N: So lovelies...this is seriously how the book goes, but of course set to Sasuke and Naruto. How was it? Oh yeah! I need a Beta for a few of my stories, send me a PM if you would like the job :) So until next time, peaces.
