Sad eyes
Warning! this chapter is rather dark and the ending is a bit graphic. ENJOY!
Plip, Plip, Plip, the sound of water droplets hitting the floor echoed off the walls that surrounded her. She opened her eyes to absolute darkness. She tried to shift positions when a wave of nausea and pain washed over her. The room was too dark to see anything, so she used her hands to feel for a wall when she heard the rustling of chains against concrete; she felt her wrists only to find a pair of shackles fastened tightly around them. Of course she didn't notice she'd spent nearly every waking moment in iron shackles, bound so tightly that signs of her imprisonment forever marked her skin.
She knew she wasn't in Orochimaru's hideout anymore the room didn't reek of antiseptic and sulfur. But where was she, her chakra was nearly all gone, most likely from whatever Kabuto used to inoculate her. She swore under her breath, how could she let this happen to herself?
Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden crash of a door hitting the wall. As light poured into the room, she saw concrete walls, a light fixture, chains, and red stains. Her heart plummeted to her stomach, because she knew what was coming next. She closed her eyes and braced herself for the torment she knew was soon to come.
Suddenly a rough hand gripped her chin her eyes flew open to see a man with blood red eyes peering down at her. Her eyes washed over him as she took in his long raven hair, the cloak decorated by crimson clouds, but what truly captured her were those eyes. Red like rubies with three black tomoes they bored into her soul she felt herself falling deeper and deeper into those eyes. They were so cold and unfeeling, full of animosity. They were eyes of a killer, but more so of a man trapped in a world he loathed.
Who was he, no what was he; questions swarmed her head. She was not afraid, but mesmerized there was so much more to this stranger than what she could see and she yearned to know more. Suddenly her head began to reel, and she felt very faint, but she fought it off she didn't want to stop looking into those eyes.
A look of shock and confusion crossed the man's face, but only for a moment. Then the tomoes spun rapidly transforming into a pinwheel like shape. 13 heard a slight gasp escape her mouth as she looked on in awe of the rapid change.
Before she could get another look at those magnificent eyes another man stepped into the room "Itachi-san that's enough." His voice was low and full of authority, but he looked no older than twenty. He had orange spiky hair and his face was covered with black metal bars that pierced every inch of flesh.
She looked back at the man named Itachi to find that his eyes had reverted back to the three tomoes. Itachi stood up and walked to the other man. "She is able to resist my sharingan in its normal state I was merely testing her ability against my stronger sharingan." The orange haired man turned away from Itachi, and headed towards 13, he stopped within inches of her, and bent down so their faces were almost touching.
"Do you know who I am girl?" She shook her head, but as he spoke she could only focus on the purple ring patter in his eyes. Another like Itachi she guessed 'he looks dangerous' she thought to herself. "Do you know why you are here?" again 13 shook her head at his inquiry. The man looked back at Itachi and with a nod of his head he motioned for him to come closer. "What is your name girl?" 13 stared at him for a bit, and again shook her head 'no'.
She whispered it so quietly she didn't expect them to hear her say, "13". The two men exchanged looks then the orange haired man stood up and began to leave, but once he was at the door he turned to look at 13, "You will never go back to the life you knew." And with that he left; 13 was frightened, but relived at the same time she didn't have to go back to Orochimaru.
"Are you hungry?" she had almost forgotten there was another in the room. She looked up to see Itachi leaning casually against the wall on the opposite side of the room. She shook her head 'no', but as she did she heard a low grumble escape from her stomach. Her face flushed automatically, "I'll send someone to feed you." and with that Itachi left as well, leaving her alone again.
A few minutes later a man walked into the room with a tray of food, and he sat it down in front of her. A bowl of rice, two pieces of fish, some fruit, and a glass of water were intended to be her meal. She shoved the food away, disgusted, the man looked at her questioningly. "What's wrong?" the man asked timidly.
"I don't eat human food." 13 replied casually. "What do you mean you don't eat human food?" She turned to glower at the man and with in seconds she was on her feet with the chains that bound her to the wall around the man's neck. "What I mean when I say 'I don't eat human food'; is that I eat humans instead" and with that she opened her mouth to reveal a set razor sharp teeth and two vicious fangs that protruded further than the rest. She tore into the man's flesh and ripped pieces of meat off his body. A feeling of relief and comfort passed over her as she feasted to the sounds of his screaming.
