Zero : Prologue
His golden orbs flickered with malice, his teeth barred in pain. "Damn Sarutobi." the snake growled lowly, his long black tresses of hair hiding his face. "Konoha will pay for this."
"Lord Orochimaru, I'm afraid that if you wait any longer it will be too late to perform the body transfer jutsu." a silver haired nin stepped from the shadows, appearing before the agitated snake. "It'll take Sasuke a bit longer then expected to get here." he added, pushing his glasses up onto the bridge of his nose. The younger male's eyes flew over the arms of Orochimaru, which were darkened and otherwise useless for anything at the moment.
A growl filled the silence that followed, and the dark haired sannin lifted his head. "I don't see that I have any other choices left." he replied, impatience obvious in his tone. Something then crossed the snake's mind which he had been rather curious about for quite some time. "So Kabuto, how is our little kitten doing?"
In response to the question directed towards him, his lips curved up into a sickening grin. "She is doing quite alright. Nevertheless; she is quite troublesome my lord." he supplied, his previous look quickly changing into one of distaste.
Orochimaru arched an eyebrow towards his inferior. "Oh and how so?" he hissed.
"She's not very cooperative." he said bluntly, then dived into a more detailed explanation. "She won't eat, or drink anything. Also; she's been extremely rude using crude language and vulgar gestures."
The superior stifled a chuckle-since he didn't want to cause more pain to come to his arms-before fixating his golden stare on the frustrated ninja before him. "It seems as if we'll have to house-break our kitten. I'm sure she'll be cooperative with our traditional ways."
"Lord, is that your way of giving me permission to do with her as I wish?" Kabuto had to ask, a wickedness settling into his features.
"As long as you don't kill her, then do what you must to break her." he paused for a moment, a sinister smile etched onto his face. "Break her spirit, and that damn pride of hers. You know how much I like obedience."
Kabuto meandered into holding cell hall, where on both sides all you could see were iron bars and the despairing hands of prisoners pleading for something -all their wants ranging between each one- most wanting their freedom. As he began to leave behind each cell the disturbance began and the hallway seemed to get exceedingly noisy, the frantic hands reaching out to grab the silver haired nin. However; much to their dismay he was just out of their reach. All their hopes of freedom extinguished. Among the inmates, there were a few who coward in the darkness, not wanting to become Kabuto's next experiment. After passing through the entire hall, he had finally reached his destination. A single regular bared door stood out from all the rest, just because it was on the end, and it was a great deal smaller then the others.
Using a jutsu, Kabuto unlocked the seal which had been responsible for keeping its single occupant inside. There was no light inside the room, only the dim light from the hallway filtering in through the door, but still it wasn't nearly enough to see into the darkest depths of the room. The gray-haired shinobi moved to the middle of the room, and lit the small kerosene lamp hanging from the ceiling. Instantaneously the room was glowing orange, and he could clearly see all he wanted to.
"What are you doing here dick face?" a venomous voice spat. Restrained to the wall by iron chains was a female body, a scowl spoiling her otherwise fascinating features.
Kabuto's mouth turned down into a frown of disgust as he moved closer to the girl. "I have new orders." After mentioning this, a vindictive grin replaced his previous look rather quickly.
The dark haired girl narrowed her moss green orbs in on Orochimaru's subordinate. Those eyes were so full of revulsion, that it was quite haunting, but the brown rags of her attire and the chains bounding her to the wall reminded anyone that she was the prisoner and was there for Kabuto's bidding. "What the hell does that mean?" she chose to ask.
"It means that I've been given permission to do with you as I please until I break you of all your appalling tendencies." he explained kneeling in front of the girl. "Orochimaru would like it if his kitten is house-broken before you are needed for his plans."
She tried to push herself closer to the wall, using her legs. Nevertheless; using one hand, Kabuto had caught her chin in his hold and forced her to look at him. Oh how livid her jade lasers were, as they burned into his own dark ones. "Fuck you!" she snarled in response. "You'll never get me loyal enough to follow that malevolent bastard."
"Well I always love a challenge." Kabuto retorted, before jabbing a glowing green hand into the fragile girl's gut.
In response she lurched forward, gasping for air. "Damnit." she choked out, struggling against her chains to nurture the agonizing pain in her abdomen. Her eyes pierced through him, and retaliation burned within their depths. "You dick." she managed to verbalize before darkness flooded her vision and she was out cold.
The fifteen year old withered in pain as Kabuto ejected a solution into her blood stream, waiting for the response it would have. A year had passed since these sick experimentations of Kabuto's had started, and a year since she had first wished that she could find something to look forward to upon her escape. She could think of none. The kunoichi no longer could pin point a reason to breathe.
"No immediate reaction." Kabuto muttered to himself, jotting down something onto a clipboard. That voice. How incredibly annoying it was. "Well, I'll leave you here and be back in a while to take you back to your cell."
The silver-haired nin's footsteps faded out and she heard the door shut behind him. Escape wasn't an option. Even if she could get up, her mind was too foggy to do anything. Still she tried to observe the lab he had taken her to this time, but her vision was hazy mirroring how her head felt. However; she could make out a few large tanks along the walls and some had things, she couldn't make out, inside. The dark-haired girl could only presume that they were more of Kabuto's atrocious experiments. "Heh, so it looks like you're Orochimaru's kitten." a voice rang through the silence. "You look like shit."
"I don't belong to anyone." was her delayed retort to the voice. Her emerald gaze searched for someone who could possible be talking, but found none and next supposed that it was an effect of the drugs Kabuto had administered. "I guess I would look like that, I mean I have been living in a shit hole for over a year now… well I think that's how long it's been."
The voice snickered. "Damn Kabuto must have done some serious damage to get you into this state."
She let her eyes droop shut and she felt laughter explode from her being. "You have no idea. I mean now I'm hearing voices and talking to myself." a sigh escaped after her laughter had subsided. "Maybe I really should just die; it would probably bring some sort of peace to this world."
It was the voice's turn to laugh. "I'm not part of your damn imagination girly." the kunoichi's mind tried to wrap itself around the words, but she found herself believing it was just her own voice, telling her that to make her feel less crazy. "I'm real and you're not talking to yourself."
"So why don't I see anyone?" she argued, knowing full well everything around her was relatively fuzzy.
"That's cause your eyes are closed dumb ass." he snapped. "I'm in a similar boat as you, so fucking pull your head together and get me out of here. I'll even make sure you get out too."
The offer was tempting. Nevertheless; it wasn't like she could do much. "You think I can do much dick face?" she pointed out, opening her eyes and narrowing them on the ceiling overhead. "I'm laying here drugged, I think I'm talking to some illusion in my mind, my vision is out of service at the moment, and besides how the hell would I do it? All my chakra points are blocked."
The voice was silent for a moment. "You're a bitch you know that."
"All too well. Do you know you're fucking annoying voice is going to be stuck in my head?"
"It's my pleasure. Did I mention you look like shit?"
"I believe you did, but I know I didn't mention that you're a dick."
"You called me a dick face, but not a dick."
The bickering between the two continued as if it was a competition, who could insult the other more. Sometimes there would be long pauses and sometimes not. A half an hour had passed and it was the shadow haired kunoichi's turn. "Do you know what dick?"
"What girly?"
"You're the only one who I've actually remotely enjoyed in this place." she confessed, laughing to herself.
The voice's laughter joined in as well. "I could say the same, your not a dirty slut like Karin, or arrogant like that Uchiha. Your not loyal to Orochimaru like that scum Kabuto, so the least I could say bitch is thanks for keeping me company for the last half an hour."
"It was my pleasure."
A silence hung after the laughter had settled. "Why do you wish you would die?"
"Simple, even if I do get out of here… it isn't like I have much to return to. I was living in a cave hiding away." she began. "I hate this pain, and so the world would be better off without me in it."
The voice chortled. "It doesn't sound like you had much to live for in the first place." it pointed out. "Why would you be hiding?"
"The Akatsuki." was her direct reply.
"Why would they be after you?"
Painfully the dark haired nin lifted her arm and traced the five black bands with her eyes. "There are ten of these bands, five on each wrist and they are features of the…"
Before she could finish the lab door slid open, and her head jerked to the side and her arm dropped back to the steel table. Unfortunately, the man who walked in was nothing short of something from her night terrors. "Hello dear kitten." the sanin hissed, moving closer to the table. "Kabuto mentioned that you have been a bit more respectful."
"Bite me." she growled. The form that had once been talking to her suppressed his laughter. So she was defiant and rude even with the head honcho himself. She had guts, the mist nin would hand it to her. Curiosity burned his mind though. What had she been trying to tell him? Damn why did that snake have to walk in.
Orochimaru clicked his long tongue against the roof of his mouth and brought his hand down to stroke the kunoichi's dirt covered cheek. Her face masked her fear well, however; the trembling of her body was a dead give away. "Better, still not good enough." he stated out loud. "That spirit of yours is defiantly not the way it used to be. So that means the time will come soon, as to when I call upon you for your service."
"I'll never."
"I beg to differ." he hissed a spine-chilling grin displayed on his face. "You'll come around eventually. Now I have things to attend to with my pet Sasuke. Kabuto should be here soon to take you back to your cell. I bid you farewell kitten." then just like a shadow, he was gone.
"Damnit." she swore, her cheek still burning where he had stroked her cheek.
"I want to know something before you go." the voice demanded. The girl had almost forgotten about the voice, but quickly everything had come back to her.
"What is it?"
There was a quick moment of silence before anything was asked. "I wanna know your name. Just maybe when I make my great escape I'll come find you too."
In response she scoffed in amusement. "Didn't I tell you, I don't have anything to live for jack ass?"
The voice mimicked her scoff. "Well don't you worry we'll find you one."
Footsteps were now quickly approaching the laboratory and she would have to make her decision. "Really?"
"Really." they confirmed.
The door slid open and she had made her decision. Despite not knowing quite what would happen, or if the voice was real or not, and she didn't care if the voice was telling the truth or not. All that mattered is some hope had returned to her existence. With one breath she declared her identity "Kimiko Fuzen."
