"He makes a pretty loyal pet once you've beat him into submission, you know! Just gotta keep him on a tight leash!"

He heard her humming before he heard her footsteps, the sharp click ringing familiar in his ears. Although he couldn't move, bound and tied down by chains around his wrists, ankles, and neck, he tried to move away from the door. He knew why she was here, why she visited. It wasn't to bring him little food or water, which Hououmaru brought with little talk besides asking if he would be alright, and it wasn't to observe his behavior and simply stare at him, which Lady Ragyo did on occasion.

She came to him to beat him into submission, to break him of his loyalty and resolve. She literally beat him until he was bleeding, bruised, even broken. He knew she could simply stitch in Life Fibers around his mind to control him, but she continued with the brutal beatings up to this day. He expected no less in today's beating.

"Good morning, pet!"

He knew not to look at her. The last time he did so, she nearly broke his jaw with her bare hands.

"You won't talk now? Does your mouth still hurt from when I tried to break it?"

He raised his gaze only to her knees, knowing that she preferred him looking at her like an animal, like a submissive abused pet. He knew to play with her rules until he could not bare such insults and abuse.

"Come on, say hi!" she demanded, pulling his head up forcefully by his hair, her ice-cold hand holding his chin in place, "Say hello to me. You should be polite to your friends."

He kept the rude remark perfect for a rebuttal down, and carefully spoke. "Hello, Nui."

She smiled, dropping his head without warning. "There we go! I thought you were asleep for a moment, which is a shame but you scream louder when you're wide awake, so all is good."

She rounded him slowly, her hands never lifting from his skin. They dragged around his shoulders and back, a single finger never leaving his skin. Everywhere they touched brought ice through his skin, making him shake under the impossible cold. Such was an effect of being mostly Life Fibers; a cold that could never be warmed or thawed.

"Where to begin~, where to begin~?"

He tried to keep calm as she continued to poke and prod at areas, deciding where to start her torturous beatings. He tightened his grip on the cuffs on his wrists, silently praying that he would be freed before she found a way to break him.

"I know! Let's start by paralyzing you so you don't squirm..."

He gasped out his rejection of the idea as she violently pinched and poked at the base of his neck and spine, his entire body seizing and freezing until all he could do was breath, speak, and look around without moving. She patted the small sewing needles poked into precise points in his spine, and walked around him to face him.

"Now...when those needles start coming out, you will be in a lot of pain, because I'm done with waiting for you to break." She told him with cute voice, smiling afterword, "I'm going to break every bone in both of your arms, and let you feel how much it hurts after~."

"N-no...please, don't" He wanted to run. She never went this far. She had broken fingers, dislocated his shoulder,s but going as far as breaking everything in his arms had him fearing for his sanity.

She patted his head. "Nope. Lady Ragyo told me I have only through today to finish my work with you, so I'm starting what I want to do to you now. I think I'll begin with each finger."

She roughly grabbed his arms and detached the chains, but he knew that he would never feel the relief. She yanked his arm into a position she favored, hurting him and earning a whimper as the paralyzed limb snapped angrily forward.

"Eenie meenie Miney mo, which finger should be the first to go?" Nui snag softly, poking each finger until she fell to his middle finger. She took it in two finger, and snapped it back, instantly breaking it. He choked down the howl in his throat, and did again as she broke two more bones in his finger without looking up.

"One down, nineteen more to go~!"

He closed his eyes, and bit into his cheek. He needed to survive, to needed to not show weakness to her.

She did as she said, and broke three bones in every finger. She got him yelling and howling in pain when she broke his right thumb, only five fingers into the bone breaking. Tears were falling by the last fingers, and she quickly worked to swipe them away before running her hands up his right arm.

"Now how is breaking your arm going to work? There's so much muscle and fat, I don't think it's possible to, but don't you worry. I know how to break those fragile little bones."

"Nui, please...please stop this." He asked, his voice rough from his earlier vocal work. She looked up at him curiously. "This is no way to do this."

"Why should I? You need to cave to me first, then I'll stop and fix it all! Forget about Satsuki and everyone, and I won't break you anymore. Besides, this works well! So what shall it be?"

He went silent for a moment, as if he were actually debating both sides. Nui leaned around his body, trying to see his face through his guise of hair.

"Hm?"

"Never," he finally replied roughly, raising his head high, "I will never come under your rule."

Nui's smile grew brighter, her hands suddenly twisting his arm back, making him cry out softly as his shoulder slowly drew out of its socket. He tried to blink away the already falling tears starting to cascade down his cheeks. Her hands caressed his palm and wrists before returning to their places.

Her dark chuckle rang in his ears as she pulled his arm back behind him, snapping his shoulder out of the socket.

"Then I'll break you until you're nothing but a broken pile of limbs."

She loved the sight before her. Nothing but quivering limbs, and whimpers so sharp, scared, and frequent she couldn't help but smile so wide her cheeks hurt. She kept a count of how many bones it took for him to scream, for him to beg bloody murder for her to stop the pain. It was a satisfying session, and it hadn't even ended yet. The Life Fiber-based serum she coated the sewing needles with should slowly work its way up to his brain from the spinal fluids, effectively stitching his mind without the use of actual Life Fibers. She still had to wait to see if her work finally broke him to her side.

Every finger was broken in three places, his shoulders popped out of their sockets and bones down to the wrists either cracked or broken. She nearly started on his legs to add to the pain when she deemed it enough at the sight of his tears and the blood dripping on his lip as he bit down on it to stop from crying out. She pulled out the needles prematurely from their allotted removal time, all at once. The reaction was instantaneous, booming, and incredibly magnificent.

The scream he gave made her so excited for what he would do once he came to his sense again. It was a pure, bloodcurdling scream of unadulterated horror and pain. Every single pinpoint of pain fired all pistons at the same time, his screams so hard and powerful, those who worked guard near a hundred feet down the hallways could hear him holler for mercy. For the last hour, he screamed, yelled, panted and begged for an end to it all, his eyes rolling into the back of his head before he finally gave in, and slumped forward in a collapse. He collapsed after he had his last wind, allowing him a long rant, ending in rage toward her, going silent aside from the whimpers still escaping his bleeding lips. She knew she had him, but there could be a chance where he would still be fighting. She kept some distance from him if he found power to fight, which he had done in the past.

His head started to lift as his whimpers finally went silent, and she knelt in front of him. Her hand fell on to his head, fingers tracing little shapes into his forehead.

"Are you there, pet?"

He stayed silently until his raised his head enough to look her in the eyes. One look, and Nui knew she had him. He did not need to speak. She ran a hand across his cheek to test, and sighed when he nudged closer to it. She finally got him to break into her hands. She nudged his face toward her, smiling when he opened his eyes again.

"Welcome to my side, pet. You will be fixed so you can be useful to me."

He blinked wordlessly. Even though his eyes had gone completely blank white, she knew he could understand her. She undid the chains and cuffs on his arms and legs, detaching the chain on his neck from the wall. She didn't have the right leash for him yet, but it could be easily made. She kept a grip on the chain as she returned to his side, taking his broken right hand. Once sure he would stay put, she set the chain down, and began her work of fixing him, as promised.

"Who is your queen?" she asked, slowly re-breaking his bones, and setting them with quickly laced Life Fibers to accelerate his healing. He turned toward her, and spoke in a submissively soft voice.

"You."

She gave an appreciative pat on his shoulder. "Good boy. And who is the person to lead the Life Fibers to consume us all?"

"Lady Ragyo."

"You're a good boy! Now stay very still, or I'm going to break these fingers more."

She made quick process through his fingers, several times accidentally breaking an extra bone while trying to fix them. Setting his hands was easiest, the bones already grafting together as she moved to his arms. Before she did so, she rounded back around him to face him, and found tears slowly falling down his face, his attention directed at her hand on his right arm. She took the time to brush the tears away, reassuring him that what was to be done had to be done to ensure he could use them again.

He let her return to the job, and stayed absolutely still through the process save for the whimper he gave once she re-broke his left wrist, which she knew was a mess of bone from the loud cracking sound it gave the first break. Her last thing to do was pop his shoulders back into their sockets, which took some time because she couldn't get it aligned right or it wouldn't move. Once everything was taken care of, and Gamagoori showed signs of life, she walked around in front of him and smiled as he opened his eyes, more tears falling that were as easily brushed away as before.

"See? Wasn't too hard, right?"

He softly shook his head. "No."

"It will take a few minutes for your bones to heal, but we have that time to talk."

"Alright."

Nui titled her head slightly, swearing she saw a scowl on his face. "Who is the enemy?"

"Satsuki Kiryuuin, and her foolish followers."

"And who is the pretty girl we want to take alive once we slaughter all of them?"

"...Mako-"

Nui did not hesitate to slap him, hard. His past infatuation with the annoying bowlcut pest would not interfere with her work. If she had to beat him to make him understand that Mako was to be eliminated, and in the most brutal way, then she would. She could break bones and fix them indefinitely if she decided to do so.

"Mako is to be killed. She is a pest in the way of what I want. Is that understood?"

"...yes, Nui." he responded submissively, rubbing his throbbing cheek before straightening up to his original place.

"Now who is the pretty girl we're going to take for myself?"

"Ryuuko Matoi."

Nui's smile brightened. She finally had her perfect, obedient pet. She reached up and gently undid the metal collar he wore, the heavy metal clanging hard on the concrete floor of the cell.

"Good boy. Now follow me, we have a lot to do."

Don't hurt me, I beg you.
