Darkness, at least mostly darkness. That's all a young blond could see. The floor was hard and cold, almost as if it were made of stone. The only light was coming fro dim candles that had maybe an hour of light left before everything went completely dark. How he got here was a mystery to him. All he could remember was running away from his village after finally reaching his breaking point. He had been called a freak his entire life due to the special abilities he possessed. Not only that, he had also been called a girl for most of his life even though he was male. His physic was pretty feminine and the fact that he had long hair didn't help at all, neither did the fact that he always wore eyeliner to help make his ice blue eyes pop. He learned that something like that was a huge mistake right from the start but he still did it, regardless of the bullying he received from the other boys.

The young blond had finally broken and taken off after he had been jumped and raped by four other boys for three days in a row. On the fourth day, he managed to use his special abilities to get himself free, and that was the last he saw of that village. However, when he tried to remember getting here, everything was blank, almost as if it had been wiped from his memory. All he could focus on now was getting out of here. When he tried to get to his feet, he let out a low groan as pain coursed through his entire body, mostly on the lower half. He managed to ignore that and tried to make use of his ability, or jutsu as it was called but instantly freaked out when he couldn't make anything happen. After managing to limp to the cell door that kept him locked up, he held his hands out to the dim light and gasped loudly.

"No…" He muttered in a low voice. He stared at his hands with wide eyes. There were stitches along both palms of his hands along with dried blood. He didn't even remember feeling anyone stitching his hands up. "I...can't use my jutsu now…" He was nearly in tears as he stared at his hands. Why had this happened to him? Was it because he had been born with an ability no one else possessed? He didn't ask to be born like this so why was he being punished for it? He clenched his hands tightly and instantly yelped in pain. He should have expected as much but he couldn't help it. He was terrified and also eneraged. The blond was only pulled from his thoughts when he heard footsteps walking toward his cell door.

He instantly stepped back and tripped over his own feet, causing him to tumble to the ground with a thud. It was at that moment when he noticed his shoes had been taken away from him. 'What the…?' He asked himself before instantly examining the rest of his body. The normal tan pants he and green top he had been wearing were gone and now all that clothed him was a thin white robe. His weapons and clay had also been taken from him, rendering him defenseless.

"Oh, you're finally awake." A snake like voice said. Deidara's head instantly snapped up and standing in the doorway was a tall man with very pale skin, snake like eyes, and long black hair that was also all over his face. He had purple markings along each eye and a sadistic looking grin on his face.

"W-who are you…?" The blond managed to squeak out. "And w-what did you do to me…?"

"Heh. My name is Orochimaru but you will call me master or my lord. Do you understand? As for what I did to you, I simply had those mouths on your hands stitched up so you couldn't use any of your ninjutsu abilities to break free from this place. You've got quite a rare Kekkei Genkai in your possession." The snake man replied, earning a cringe from the blond teenager.

"W-what do you know about my Kekkei Genkai…?" The teen asked with wide eyes, though only one could be seen since the other was covered by his long blond bangs.

"Explosion Release is by far one of the most dangerous Kekkei Genkais. Not only for opponents but for the user as well. When I disrobed you earlier, I found that you have a fourth mouth on the left side of your chest that's stitched up. If I'm not mistaken, that particular mouth can turn you into a bomb and it would mean death for you. No wonder you keep it closed up. I also found some signs of other things along your body, which makes things a lot easier for me." Orochimaru replied while crossing his arms over his chest.

"What the hell are you talking about, un!? Give me back my damn clothes and clay and let me go! The blond shouted out. He was about to continue yelling but found himself being squeezed tightly by a large brown snake.

"Oh no. You're going to become my personal pet. If you value your life then you'll do what you're told. Disobey me and I'll have you severely punished. I'll have you beaten within an inch of your pathetic life or I'll let some of my other experiments have their way with you while I sit back and watch. It all depends on how badly you piss me off." The snake man soon opened the door to the cell and kept Deidara in a tight grasp with the snake he had summoned. "Now, let's get going. I want to break you in as soon as possible. Maybe I'll let my assistant have the first go at you so he can give me a report."

The blond was grabbed by the hair harshly and pulled from the cell. He found that he was being drug down a dark hallway, not knowing where he'd end up next or if he'd even survive this. He didn't want to die. Not now. He was only sixteen years old and now he was going to be made a slave to this snakelike man. He had already determined he wasn't going to go down without some kind of a fight, even if that fight led to an early death. The first thing he had to do was find a way to get the mouths on his palms unstitched so he could make his clay bombs again. His art. 'Art is an explosion snakeman...and soon, I'll make you into an amazing piece of art. You'll die by my art...I'll make sure of it…'
