My Insanity

Part One: Cool, Calm, Collected

Chapter 2: Numb

Mars' head lolled from side to side, eyes fluttering as she slowly regained consciousness. Grunts of pain escaped her mouth as the heavy weight of chains made itself present.

She had lost count of the days she had survived this hellhole. Was it even days? Gods she couldn't remember. The moment she woke she was in chains, and unfamiliar with her surroundings. The events following that made it known to her that she was a prisoner. Her body felt as if years had passed, her mind decades, and her soul… she no longer knew.

A loud slam forced the fire senshi to direct her attention towards the cell door. Slender figure appeared before her, holding a whip in the right hand. The left occupied a knife and the cart being wheeled behind her an assortment of tools.

"Well good afternoon Sailor Mars," the voice pleasantly stated, "I hope you have been enjoying the… hospitality we have offered." The whip unfolded, dropping lazily to the ground, waiting fro a command. "Unfortunately today, we do not offer the slow burning requested by your previous… teacher, however, we have collected various… items that… might ensure your well… being." A smirk played on those lips as the whip cracked across the beaten body.

Mars hissed letting air out between her teeth. She barely had time to regain her breath as another lash slashed her fuku. It was routine now, a couple of lashes, a few cuts, a mystery torture item, and then it was over. Sailor Mars grimaced in pain; soon it'll be over.

Lavender eyes looked up towards her assailant, watching as the whip rose and fell, flinching at the contact. It was almost over, and the whip cracked across her once more.

The fire senshi panted harshly as her body took the last beatings. She thanked the Gods for the numbing sensations that had taken over, acutely aware that without them she wouldn't survive.

"Well, today's session was successful, was it not Mars? I think so. I will be back with a new lesson shortly, do not despair! After all, I always have something to teach."

The beaten woman sighed tiredly, attempting to move her left arm, but quickly abandoning the thought as her body flared up in pain. She opted not to move, pain being something she didn't want more of. The senshi should be here soon, rescuing her from this place. She bit her quivering lip never letting go of the thought, and pushing away all the doubts.

"My, well isn't this a surprise! Is our own fire vixen… afraid of being abandoned by her friends?" Jolted out of her reverie, she looked up to a shadowed outline of a body. "Well, I guess its time to introduce myself wouldn't you say?" The voice paused, then laughter formed, "After all you have been staying in my home."

"You…" Mars panted out, finding talking to be a difficult task "did this to me. Why?"

"Oh lets just say you stood between something I wanted, but don't worry the physical torture is over. From now on I will be taking care of all your needs."

As the figure stepped into the light, Sailor Mars felt her lungs suck in air painfully. At first look it seems human, a beautiful woman with a seductive smile on her lips.

"I do appear humanish, don't I?" she whispered in an amused tone.

Her words sung to Mars, her lips capturing her attention. The luscious lips and its sensual movements being the only thing that was currently in her mind.

"My what an effect I have on you!" Gleeful laughter resonated around the cell room.

Mars felt her body being pulled towards this…this… she couldn't describe this creature in from of her. Her body felt as if it was on fire, every fiber of her being drawn to this one center. She would do anything just to touch her.

A cruel smile appeared on the lips of the woman. "Anything at all? Hmm, who could pass up an offer like that," the voice purred.

A loud clink was heard around the room followed by the thump of the fire senshi's body hitting the ground. She staggered to her feet and slowly proceeded to get closer to her goal. Everything about this energy she was feeling was intoxicating. Her feet stopped momentarily, forcing her to take a good look.

There in all her beauty stood that which Mars could not name, Golden hair flowing about her body. The voluptuous curves made Sailor Mars blood boil as well as her purring voice.

The fire senshi grabbed onto an offered hand and pulled her closer. Just one kiss… that was all she wanted. Mars stroked the golden hair, her hand lazily moving to the face, stroking soft cheeks. Their eyes locked, such a beautiful baby blue, just like Usagi's… Usagi.

"Come now I don't have all day," the other woman said a little harshly.

Mars blinked twice, trying to remember what she was doing. She pulled her hands back as if she had been burned and backed up towards the cell wall.

"You're not Usagi." She plainly stated.

Wicked laughter emerged from the seductress as she charged towards Mars her appearance changing completely as she did. The golden hair was now silver and those warm blue eyes became cold white ones. Her skin tone darkened and glossed itself into a metallic blue. Her simple smile grew wicked as she neared her face, stopping it an inch away from the fire senshi's.

"My, aren't you astute," she looked side to side and the chains recaptured their target, "Now guess how I knew what you wanted."

The chained woman fell deep in thought, cursing herself for acting impulsively in a bad situation.

"You couldn't help it darling, I'm just that good."

The senshi's head shop up in shock, that's it! She was reading her thoughts.

"Bravo my fire vixen you have indeed solved the mystery, and for doing so, a celebration is in order don't you think?" A crazed light appeared on the blue face. "Now how about a little lesson on emotions," the white eyes glowed intensely, "and how tearing through them can cause excruciating pain!"

Mars threw her head back, feeling as if her mind was literally being torn to pieces. Tears fell from her yes as the pain increased. Images flashed in her mind as conflicting emotions rose. Hate, anger, love, passion, they all filled her body to the point of bursting. Mars bit through her lip as she tried to prevent herself from crying out.

"Cry, scream, let me hear you scream!" the glow in those demonic eyes burned brighter as she yelled, "Scream for me, SCREAM!" and Mars yelled the only thing she could,

"USAGI I I I I I I!"
