Every cell in her body was practically screaming for rest yet Kiku was in no position to oblige. Dried blood caked her back and had started to stain her once muddy beige trousers black. Kunai dotted the area below her as her long brown hair hung in her face and she hung whimpering. At the current moment in time Deidara had gone, or rather been sent, to get the Leader and Zetsu too for some reason.
Sasori seemed to believe that the plant man had some kind of control of the young girl.
"Probably because he was the one to catch her." He pondered and continued pulling kunai out of his victim's back, each yank resulted in a whimper from the tired girl. She hadn't the energy left to lift her head up and her voice cracked with each sound due to thirst, she was at the end of her limit and she would most likely faint from blood-loss soon. That was her main concern, she was loosing too much of the crimson fluid, she needing healing soon and probably something to eat and drink.
However, it was unlikely this would happen for a while yet so she held on to consciousness with what little strength she had left. Her arms ached so much as well as her feet which were still bound by chakra strings which had started to dig into her skin, in short she felt awful and wished she could wake up from this nightmare soon.
Alas, this was not to be as the metal door behind Kiku squeaked open and Sasori turned to face his partner as well as Leader, Zetsu stood behind them yet his large size meant he spotted the sixteen year old hanging from the ceiling as soon as he entered the room. A smirk painted his face as he watched his leader approach the dangling human. He grasped her chin like he had previously and forced her to look him in the eye.
Kiku would have studied his features and taken in what he looked like yet she was too drained of energy to even try. Grey locked with grey as she managed to glare at the orange-haired man in front of her.
"Still defiant I see," he noted as Zetsu moved to stand behind him, the white half looked a little sorry for her but the other half looked like he wanted to take a bite out of her back "no matter, Itachi will deal with you in the morning. Zetsu, heal her wounds and throw her in one of the cells." He ordered and left the room followed by Sasori.
"There is no need to stay Deidara," informed Zetsu calmly "this b**** has no energy left to fight," he added as he tapped Kiku's face with a cold hand and watched as Deidara lowered her to the floor by turning the lever on the wall. Nodding, the blond left leaving the spy and healer to his work.
He pulled the rest of the kunai out before placing his hands on her bloodied back and letting mint green chakra engulf them. The young girl sighed as the chakra went to work and her back mended, though there were still scars to prove what had happened.
Slowly, she started falling asleep and though she was vaguely away of Zetsu picking her up and placing her in a cell she had soon drifted into a deep and dreamless slumber.
----------------------------------------Time skip: Next morning----------------------------------------
Gradually, her eyes were pushed open and she lay on her side for a few more moments, as if she expected the room to just disappear, as if this was all just a nasty dream and she would find herself in a forest any second now. Time moved on at a snails pace and Kiku imagined the ticking of a clock filling the air before forcing herself into a sitting position. Her body was still sore from last night but when she checked her legs and wrists all she found were scars.
She already knew her back had been healed and so she used the wall to stand up "Well, that was certainly one thing I don't want to repeat," she whispered to herself "and what was with those two? They kept arguing about art the whole time and the blond is so annoying. He kept adding "un" and "yeah" to the end of his sentences. Weirdo!" She mumbled and stumbled towards the cage bars.
Leaning against the metal barrier she started going through what she knew in her head.
"Well that's just brilliant!" Sarcasm dripped from her words "I have no clue about any of those guys except for Sasori and he what I know about him is pretty much useless."
Turning her attention to the bars she tried to channel chakra into them but they seemed to absorb the potentially damaging attack and rendered it inaffective.
"Oh, that's just peachy! These stupid bars are chakra proof and there is no way I can use the full extent of my blood-line in this state, I am still hurting from last night and my abilities can be harmful as it is!" Kiku babbled and sunk down to the floor, drawing her knees up like a barricade and shielding her face with her hair.
She sat there for what felt like an eternity, thinking about the open plains and the vast forests she loved and missed. She had only been away from them for a day or two yet this short space of time felt like it would never end, like she would never see her home again.
The door swung open but she didn't bother seeing who it was, she remained motionless until the cage door too was unlocked, the key clicked in place and the bars moved. Casting her gaze upwards she studied who it was and blinked, her head tilted and an expression on her face reading 'are you serious?'.
A green clad man stood there wearing an swirly orange, yes orange, mask.
"Tobi is a good boy!" He exclaimed and Kiku cracked up laughing before she saw the tray in his hands and her eyes twinkled happily.
"If you give me that food you will be!" She said in a daze and watched the tray being placed on the floor.
The excitement vanished at this moment as she saw a stale bit of bread and some water "Thanks, I guess." She muttered under her breath and bit into the dried bread "So, your name's Tobi, huh?"
An enthusiastic nod followed her question "Tobi is a good boy!"
Slapping her fore-head she continued "How'd someone like you end up in alliance with the Akatsuki?"
"Zetsu found Tobi!" She could've sworn he was smiling and she giggled.
"We're in the same boat then," Kiku noted and drunk her water happily, not caring how warm it was, all that mattered to her was that it was drinkable "Why didn't you-"
She found herself being cut off by foot-steps and turned to see who it was, she took in what the new face looked like. He had long black hair in a low ponytail and onyx eyes as well as strange wrinkles on his skin, Kiku felt uncomfortable under his gaze and shivered slightly. He was wearing a black top and trousers as well as sandals.
"Itachi!" Tobi greeted and picked up the tray before bouncing out, leaving the teenager to fend for herself.
The man's expression was blank, no smirk, nothing. As Kiku stood up his glance followed her and she crossed her arms over her chest "What?" She spat, yet she still backed into a corner when he entered her enclosure.
"Mind your manners," he hissed "go sit in that stool."
Not arguing she exited the cage and went to sit on the old stool which sat mocking her in the corner, Itachi stood in front of her "Are you still deciding not to do as you are asked?"
"Duh, other-wise we wouldn't be here." She moved her eyes to glare at him and met spinning red as she was pulled into the world of the Sharingan.
----------------------------------------In the Sharingan world----------------------------------------
The brown-haired girl found herself in a blank space which was a spooky crimson color, she noticed the space shrinking rapidly around her and things grew darker and darker. She shrunk down into a ball and cradled herself, rocking backwards and forwards. Her fear of closed spaces became evident and Itachi's voice echoed in the air as a dark chuckle before the pattern repeated itself.
----------------------------------------Exit from the Sharingan world----------------------------------------
Kiku found herself sweating in her stool and screaming her heart out whilst a victorious Uchiha stood in his place still "Still disagreeing?"
The young girl shook her head rapidly "I'll listen, just please don't send me back to that place. Please!" She begged and sobbed.
"You really are pathetic, I didn't even do anything. Follow me." He sneered and walked out the door, tailed closely by his victim who was trying to get over what had just happened.
It didn't take long before they found themselves at Leaders door and Itachi knocked before entering.
"So, have you changed your mind?" Leader question darkly as he approached the young girl.
"Yes, I'll do what you want." She mumbled meekly, looking at the floor.
"Glad you see things my way, for now you have to stay in the living area but I may give you free reign later."
Nodding she raised an eye-brow "You mean the rubish one near the entrace."
"No, that is a decoy in case anyone should find our base, makes the place look abbandoned."
"Oh"
"Itachi, go get her something to wear and take her to the living room."
Itachi nodded and turned to leave "One more thing Kiku, you'll be rooming with Itachi and his partner."
Sighing, she followed the Uchiha out of the room.
