Chapter Ten

Beneath the Surface

I am so numb. I can't feel anything. My whole body felt asleep. How long had it been? How long was I suspended like this? I would never know. Every now and then I would wiggle, hoping to gain back some feeling, but it was useless. The door to the dungeon opened and Itachi came back in, followed by the blue guy, Kisame I believe it was.

"How are you doing?" Itachi smirked, giving me a push so I swung back and fourth.

I was to weak to glare at him, so I just stared downward.

"How does it feel to be broken?" Itachi continued to torment, "to have every last thing that made you human be stripped away from you?" He caressed my cheek with his hand, behind him, Kisame chuckled.

"You really destroyed him Itachi."

"I'm good for that," Itachi took it as a compliment.

The two of them undressed and took out a whip each, whipping me from opposite sides. Every now and then I would let out a stifled cry. Was this my fate? To be stuck here as a sex slave? They threw aside the whips and Itachi ripped off the tape from my mouth. I let out a scream and licked around my mouth in case it were bleeding. Itachi grabbed me by the chin. I was the perfect level for him to position himself in front my mouth and I felt Kisame press himself against my rear entrance. I glared at Itachi with so much hate, but he just snicked.

"Open up!" He gave me a light slap on my cheek.

I trembled, but did as he ordered. As Itachi shoved himself in my mouth, Kisame pushed from in back. I gagged a couple times and my head started to spin. Neither of them took it easy as they pounded me in both holes. They took turns, filling me up past my limit till all their ammo was finished. I no longer had any room in my stomach for food. I just wanted to hurl. They dressed back up, panting like they had just ran a race.

"He seems ready, don't you think?" Kisame asked Itachi, who started to undo the ropes binding me.

"Maybe..."

The ropes loosened and I lowered to the ground. My feet touched and I collapsed, unable to support my own weight. Itachi laughed.

"Get up you idiot."

"Sorry Master..." I muttered, struggling to push myself to my feet.

Kisame helped Itachi to remove the rest of the ropes. I examined myself once they were finished and wasn't surprised to see red marks of where the ropes to be. I felt semen drip from my bottom hole and slid down my legs. I felt so disgusted. I didn't move though, I didn't want to make a wrong move and give Itachi a reason to punish me. The two of them chuckled at the look of discomfort I bore on my face.

"Yeah he's almost ready," Itachi agreed. He took his Akatsuki cloak and wrapped it around me before scooping me up bridal style. "I'm going to take him to wash now, thanks for joining the fun."

"Anytime," Kisame waved, "I'll have more fun with him again when it's my turn."

Itachi nodded.

I was nearly past out in Itachi's arms, but Kisame's words woke me up. His turn? What was that suppose to mean exactly? They didn't say anything more regarding the subject. Itachi carried me out the dungeon and I passed out.

When I woke up, I was startled to find myself in a large circular bath. I observed around, Itachi was no where to be seen. I stared at the water, there were flower petals floating around me and the room was nice and humid. For I moment I questioned if everything that had happened was real or not, but I shook the thought away.

"Don't be stupid," I muttered to myself.

I looked around and found the door. I stood up, but I didn't leave the bath. Ok, so I reach the door and then what? I asked myself, what will I do after? I already tried escaping, but I had no idea which way was out. The place was like a giant maze, not only that, but it was crawling with Akatsuki creeps. I didn't stand a chance trying to escape, but I wasn't going to let them abuse me like this. I stared down at the water. If this is the only way out then fine. I slid back down until the water level came just beneath my nose. It's better than living as a sex slave. I took one last breath before I lay down flat beneath the surface of the water. Don't go back up, I told myself as my lungs started screaming for air. I refuse to be a slave!

My eyes snapped open and at first I had no idea what had happened. I was lying flat, and someone stood over me, but my brain couldn't give me a name to go with the face. I rolled out from underneath him in a panic and backed up until my back hit a wall.

"Where am I?" I screamed.

"Shh calm down!" The man ran towards me and gripped me by my shoulders, "do you remember your name?"

My body shook violently and I was fighting the urge to scream again. I shook my head slightly, staring at the man in alarm. Who was he? Who was I?

"M-my name..." I stuttered, holding a hand against my head. Man I had such a huge headache.

"Damn," the man cursed, "do you remember who I am?"

I removed my hand and examined him. No I didn't know who he was, should I had known? My expression gave him his answer.

"Itachi?"

I jumped and the two of us turned as a lady with short blue hair entered the room followed by another man with blonde hair that was tied up in a pony tail with bangs hiding half his face.

"How is he?" The women asked. She was carrying a first aid kit, which she laid down on the floor in front me. The man called Itachi stood up and walked over to them.

"I gave him CPR so he's fine, but he doesn't seem to remember anything."

The three of them looked at me and I stared at them with wide eyes.

"Good thing we found him when we did though, yeah," said the blonde male, "or else he'd be dead right now, yeah."

"He could be suffering from slight amnesia," said the female. She knelt down in front me and took out a stethoscope from the kit. "It's ok," she added when she noticed the uneasy look I was giving her, "I'm just going to use this to listen to your heartbeat."

She pressed the round, metal part to my chest, and it was then I came to realize that I was naked. I blushed and looked away. My eyes landed on a circular tub that was nearby. Why were we in a bathroom?

"Konan," Itachi placed a hand on her shoulder.

"He's fine," she stood up, "if you want I can do a full out examination on him to make sure there are no other damages."

"We'll he recover?"

"It's hard to tell, it could just be temporary. My advice, try doing stuff with him that will jog his memory." She put the stethoscope away and picked up the kit. "Bring him to the recovery room and I'll run some tests." She left the room.

"Tough luck, yeah," said the blonde.

"Get out of here Deidara!"

"Alright, Alright, yeah," he followed after Konan.

Itachi sighed and glared down at me.

Why is he looking at me like that?

"Sasuke."

"Hun?" I blinked.

"Your name is Sasuke."

"Sasuke?" I repeated, pointing to myself. He nodded. "Itachi?" I pointed to him.

"No."

I stopped pointing at him, confused.

"Those people called you Itachi."

"They call me that, but I am your master," he explained, "so you shall call me master. Do you know what your role is?"

I shook my head. I didn't know what anything was. I was still trying to figure out how it was I ended up here.

"You're role is to obey me and do whatever it is I tell you to do, regardless of what it is. You know why?" he didn't wait for me to answer, "because you are my pet!"

I'm his pet. I nodded my head slowly and he smiled, taking it as a sign that I understood.

"Now come here!" He pointed to the ground by his feet.

I thought about what he said and started to my feet.

"No!" He shouted.

I froze, halfway through standing up.

"I want you to crawl over here."

I went back down and made my way to him.

"Good boy," he patted me on the head. "You may stand now."

I stood.

"Good now follow me."

I followed him out the bathroom, into the hallway. He lead me to a room with a double bed and little furniture.

"This is our room," he turned on the light and pointed to a bed, "there's a little blue kimono, put that on, and wait for me." He closed the door behind me.

I strode over to the bed and picked up the skimpy piece of clothing. I scrambled into it and sat down on the bed. My stomach let out a rumble and I hugged myself. I'm hungry.

Itachi returned, carrying a plate with two plain hotdogs and a juice box. He set them down on the floor and folded his arms across his chest.

"Did I say you could go on the bed?"

My mouth dropped open.

"No?"

"Then get down!" He motioned at the floor.

"Sorry," I muttered as I slid to the floor.

"Call me master!"

"Sorry master," I corrected myself.

"That's better," he pointed to the plate of food. "Come and eat."

"Thank you master!" I crawled towards the plate and ate one of the hotdogs in two bites.

Itachi sighed and sat down on the bed, watching as I finished eating and drank my juice box. He patted a spot on the bed next to him and I crawled back to the edge of the bed,

"May I come up master?"

"You may."

"Thank you master."

I hopped on the bed, but was astonished when Itachi landed a blow on me, knocking me back to the floor. I landed hard on my side and stared up at my master frightfully as he towered over me and gave me a kick to the gut. I doubled over coughing and gasping for air.

"You may not remember," he kicked me over onto my back and stomped his foot down in the middle of my stomach, leaving it there, "but you did something that really pissed me off!" He increased the weight being put into my stomach.

I just ate, I'm going to throw up. Why is he hurting my like this? What had I done? At last he removed his foot and I struggled to breathe.

"Maybe this will jog your memory," he reached behind the bed and took out a leather paddle.

He rounded on my again and I tried to crawl away, but he yanked me up by my hair and threw me on the bed. I felt the paddle come down hard on my ass and I screamed. I tried to get away again, but he held me down and whacked me over and over and over again. My ass started to burn fast. For some reason, it was super sensitive.

"Master stop!" I cried out in agony, "please!"

He ignored me and hit me harder. I screamed and sobbed into the blankets, praying for the beating to end. When at last it stopped, Itachi rubbed a hand over my burning flesh. I lifted my head up and glanced back at him through puffy eyes. I froze when I noticed there were traces of blood on his hand. He had actually hit me hard enough to make me bleed. He saw that I had noticed and smiled.

"This is what happens when you make your master upset," he released me and I scampered back to the floor.

I curled up on my knees, shaking as I could feel my abused ass throbbing from the punishment. I stared at him fearfully and he laughed.

"You should be thanking me for teaching you a lesson. Say it!"

"T-thank you, M-m-master..." I whimpered.

"Come here," he held out his hand.

I shivered, I didn't want to go back near him, but I didn't want to be hit again either. I cautiously approached him and took his hand. He pulled me up on the bed and kissed me. At first I was surprised at the huge change in atmosphere from abuse to affection, but then I became confused. We were both men. So why was he kissing me? Or did it not matter since I was his pet?

"Now," he breathed in my my ear, "I want you to unzip my pants and suck me dry." He pushed me down between his legs.

"Yes Master," I said, but I wasn't sure.

He was asking me to put his dick in his mouth. That wasn't right. Then I remembered his earlier speech. I'm his pet and was to do whatever he told me to do, regardless of what it was. I'm his pet, so this is my job. I unzipped his pants and released his already hard member from it's restraints. I paused to examine it. It was huge and already dripping with precum. I licked it off and then licked around his shaft, coating it in my saliva before taking in his length in my mouth.

Itachi leaned his head back in a moan as I did my best to please him so I wouldn't be beaten again. I went deep throat and then back out, pumped him around the base, sucking him just at the tip and then sucked on his balls to. I felt that he was near his climax and sucked him harder and faster.

"Swallow it all pet."

"Yes Master," I breathed against his pulsing organ and took it again deep throat as he released his substance.

I struggled a bit to swallow it, but manged to get it all down.

"Very good," my master patted me again on my head and zipped himself up. "Come, I shall take you to get checked out now."

Was something wrong with me? I pondered this as I sat on a small single bed. Konan was writing down some stuff on a clipboard. She had done some test, including listening to my heartbeat again, taking a blood sample, and blood pressure.

"Do you remember your name?" She asked.

"Master said it was Sasuke," I answered.

"Ok, Sasuke, do you remember your last name?"

I shook my head. Why couldn't I remember? I got a headache trying to think.

"Do you know who Itachi is?"

"My Master."

She sighed and opened the door to the room. Itachi, who had been waiting came in.

"Well?" He asked.

"He's ok, but he really is suffering from amnesia."

"Hm," Itachi shrugged, "to be honest, I think I prefer it this way."

"Careful though," Konan frowned at him, "like I said it could only be temporary due to shock. I would like to meet with him regular in case he starts to show signs of remembering."

I rested my chin in my hands. Remembering what? What had I forgotten? Was it important for me to remember?

After coming to an agreement to have me meet with Konan regularly, Itachi took me back to the room. He turned on the light at the night table and climbed into bed. I wasn't sure what to do, so I just stood and waited for him to give me an order, which he did.

"Lie down and go to bed!" He reached for the light and turned it off, leaving me in total blackness.

I looked around, despite not seeing anything, before crouching down and curling up on the floor where I was. It wasn't very comfortable, but I soon fell asleep. I wasn't sure how long I slept, but I woke up again later, shivering. It was freezing on the floor. I curled up into a tighter ball, hugging myself, but it didn't do me much good.

"M-master?" I whispered, "Master!"

"What?" Itachi grunted awake.

"I'm cold."

"I don't care!" He fidgeted around, making himself comfortable before falling back asleep.

I stayed awake. I couldn't sleep, I was to cold to be comfortable. My fingers and toes were numb.

"Master?" I tried again, but this time I received no response.

I crawled my way forward until I collided into the bed. I used it to pull myself up and felt my hands around for his sleeping form. I found him and poked him.

"Master?" Still no response.

I debated what to do. Shivering, I crawled onto the bed and snuggled by his feet. This was better. Not perfect but better. I wondered if it was a good idea for me to be on the bed without his permission, but was to tired to worry about the consequences, and drifted back to sleep.

"What the?"

I awoke with a start when I felt Itachi's feet shifting next to me. I opened my eyes and rubbed them sleepily. Once they were in focus I saw that my master was staring at me with his mouth slightly open in shock.

"Morning master."

"What the fuck are you doing on the bed?"

Now I was fully awake. My expression turned into the same as his.

"I'm sorry master, but I was cold and-"

"I said I didn't care!"

Itachi freed his feet from the blankets and kicked me off the bed. I landed hard on my arm and winced in pain.

"You're not here to be comfortable!" he spat, "you're here to please me and no other reason!"

"I'm sorry master!"

"No your not," he said, reaching behind the head of the bed and then smiling at how wide my eyes went when I saw what he was reaching for. "Not yet at least," he took out the paddle.

"Master please!" I begged, backing away slightly.

"Ah! Come here!"

I flinched, taking a deep breath, and closing my eyes before crawling my way over to him.

"Stand!"

"Yes master..." I whimpered quietly.

He pulled me back onto the bed and forced me flat on his lap where had had easy access to spanking me. I wish the kimono I wore wasn't so short, that way it would actually cover my skin and cushion the beatings. He examined my skin, giving me a pinch.

"You're still red from last night," he mused, and smacked the paddle down hard.

I screamed.

"That's it! Scream just how sorry you are!" He said, hitting me continuously.

"I'm sorry master!" I wailed.

"Say it a hundred times!"

"Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry sorry..."

With each hit, my screams got louder until I couldn't breath anymore and ended up in a fit of hiccups. Itachi ceased the assault and lay the paddle aside.

"What do you say?"

"T-thank you master, f-f-for b-beating me and t-teaching me a lesson..." I cried and he hugged me.

"Do you think I'm happy to hurt you like that?" He asked.

I didn't answer. I didn't know what to answer. It's ok thought, because he answered it for me.

"No I don't, but when you don't listen, and you disobey rules, then I'm forced to. It hurts me as much as it hurts you to do that to you. So be a good boy and remember your place. You are a slave. My pet. Your only purpose is to serve me and whoever else I tell you to. Understand?"

"Y-yes master..."

"Good, so who are you?"

"I am your pet master."

"What is your purpose?"

"To serve and please you my master."

"And what happens when you disobey me?"

"Then please punish me master for making you unhappy."

"Good boy," He kissed my forehead. "One other thing."

"Yes Master?"

"You talk to much. Do not speak to me or anyone else unless I require you to."

"Understand master." I pouted.

These were tough rules. Was I really supposed to live this way? I don't know, for some reason I felt empty. Like there was something missing. Was this really all there was to life? Following orders? What about the outside world? So far I only knew my master, Konan and Deidara, but where had they come from? Where had I come from? Why did I end up here? I had so many questions, but no answers. I was sure Itachi wasn't going to give me any and I wasn't going to ask in fear he beat me again. My ass couldn't handle anymore. What had happened to me before all this? What did I forget? I decided I wanted to remember. Somehow I would find out. It had to be something important, maybe something that would give me a clue as to why I was here. Itachi had mentioned last night that he was happy I didn't remember. Why? I had to know. For everything that was happening, it felt wrong. I had a feeling. A tiny feeling that this was not my true purpose. A feeling that Itachi was lying to me.
