"You're hungry, huh?" Sasuke sneered down at Tenten. "Didn't I just feed you a few days ago?" He shook his head and clicked his tongue with mock disappointment. "You're getting greedy, now, aren't you?"
The mockery, the cold-hearted jeers, the arrogance…Neji could barely keep quiet whenever Sasuke spoke, it was just so frustrating! Apparently he had at least given Tenten some food at some point when Neji was unconscious. On the other hand, Neji's stomach was eating itself. He hadn't had a scrap to eat in over a week, now. He was extremely weak and without any nourishment, building up chakra was not possible—therefore, escape was not possible. It was all Neji could do not to give up hope like Tenten had done. Her blank expression was heartbreaking to see. Neji tried to flash her encouraging looks whenever possible, but they didn't seem to have any effect.
Someone will come for us, he thought, trying to encourage himself. They'll be coming soon. We've just got to stay alive until then.
"Here, slut. If you're so hungry then I suppose I can be nice and feed you again."
Slut? Neji's brow creased angrily. How dare he say that to Tenten! She was a virtuous woman and a victim of rape, how dare he say anything against her? These are the type of things she's heard for the last week, Neji thought miserably. No wonder she's so discouraged.
A little moan from Tenten snapped Neji out of his thoughts. He looked up and his eyes widened at once, seeing Sasuke's drooping pants, and how he brandished his nearly limp penis at Tenten's face. She sat still though she shivered slightly. Her eyes were closed and her head hung low. That seemed to annoy Sasuke.
"Go on, you know what to do," he snapped, smacking her on the head. She gave a little squeak and raised her head so that his member hovered only an inch from her quivering lips.
For a week Sasuke had ravaged her body in any way that he could think of, but during those long days Neji had been unconscious. The idea of him seeing her be submitted this way…it made Tenten hesitate. Heat filled her cheeks and her gaze fell again, causing Sasuke to hit her once more.
"That's enough…" Neji snarled.
"Enough?" Sasuke laughed, grabbing Tenten's face roughly and tapping himself against her lips. They were clamped shut as were her eyes. Her face was red with shame. "We're just getting started!"
Neji felt his own face growing red as he half-watched Tenten squirm while Sasuke rubbed his hardening member all over her face. She was still naked and Neji could see even without Byakugan that she'd endured a serious amount of skin trauma already, and her inner thighs were caked with old blood and other fluids. It was physically painful for him to look at her in such a state, but never meeting her eyes seemed traitorous.
I have to be there for her, Neji had thought, many times over the past day, I've failed her enough already. Somehow I have to try and protect her.
"Open your fucking mouth, bitch!" Sasuke shouted. This time he kicked her right in the gut. When she opened her mouth to gasp in pain, he shoved it straight to the back of her mouth. She quickly started gagging.
Neji shut his eyes, feeling disgusted. Poor Tenten…but what could he do? He thought and thought, but nothing came to mind. The disturbing sounds of Tenten's gagging and Sasuke's groans of pleasure were tearing his concentration to shreds.
After a minute or two of fiercely thrusting into her throat, Sasuke took a step back. He was now hardened to full length and glistening with Tenten's spit. In that moment of respite, Neji choked out, "Don't do it, Ten'. You don't have to do it."
Tenten glanced over at him just for a second, to ashamed to hold his gaze. Neji felt his heart breaking for her. This is what she's been reduced to…
"If he tries to do that again, you just bite him," Neji advised through a clenched jaw. After everything Sasuke had done thus far, Neji would have liked nothing more than to see Tenten bite his penis straight through.
"Tenten knows better than to bite," Sasuke said smugly. "Don't you, you little whore?"
"Do not talk to her like that!" Neji shouted, starting to really lose it again. He jerked hard against the chains despite his lack of strength and leaned forward as far as he could. "Get away from her."
Sasuke froze and simply stared at the Hyuga, totally taken aback. Apparently he was going to have to try a little harder than he'd expected if he wanted to break Neji, too. After a moment, a comical expression fell over his face.
"Sorry, Tenten. Looks like you've lost your dinner."
Her eyes had been closed, but now she perked up in surprise. He would stop? Thank goodness…
For a second, Neji felt happy over the small victory. He had saved Tenten for now. But soon he realized the weight of what he had done. It took all of his mental strength not to lean back against the wall in fear as Sasuke rubbed his shaft up at down and discarded his pants all together, striding across the room toward him.
When he was only a foot away from Neji's kneeling form, Sasuke leaned down and slapped the man's face, just as he had done over a week ago. It was painful, but Neji neither made any sound nor looked away from his attacker's cold gaze for long.
"I'm sick of your defiant mouth, Neji," Sasuke droned. "Time to put it to good use."
Neji stared up at the Uchiha. Shock consumed his expression as he was hit with the realization of what was intended. Sasuke laughed down at him. Tenten gasped.
"Go ahead! You don't want Tenten to do it, so now it's your turn."
"No!" Tenten protested, her voice trembling at the thought. "No…no Sasuke, please, that's not what Neji meant! He didn't mean to—"
"Shut up!" Sasuke snapped. He reached out faster than the eye could register and grabbed fistfuls of Neji's long brown hair, jerking the man's head toward his intimidating erection. The shock on Neji's face was now mixed with appall.
Sasuke kicked Neji just as he had kicked Tenten, but it did not work to make his mouth open up. Instead, Neji just squeezed his eyes shut and a hiss of pain came out through his nose. "Open your mouth, boy," Sasuke demanded, his tone full of arrogance and hatred.
"No, Sasuke, please! Please come back!" Tenten cried, growing more and more hysterical. She was crying and the tears betrayed themselves in her tone of voice. "Please, I'll do it! Let me!"
Sasuke simply ignored her and kicked Neji again. It's about time…she hasn't cried in days.
"Please, please…" she moaned, choking on sobs. The idea of Sasuke forcing himself upon Neji too, was unbearable. Neji was a proud man, she doubted that he could ever overcome something like being raped by another male. She felt her head start to spin. "I want it! Please, my lord, please…"
"Shut up!" he shouted again, annoyed with her pretentious words. He jerked Neji's head back by the hair and pressed his shaft against the man's mouth and chin. Lowering his voice slightly, Sasuke snarled in Neji's face, "Go on, Hyuga…suck it. And if you bite…" his voice trailed off menacingly, "I swear on Itachi's soul that I will kill Tenten. I'll let one of my snakes rape her. And trust me when I tell you that they're no where near as kind as I am." He smiled cruelly down at Neji, the threat clearly made.
Neji fought to hide his wet eyes, now swimming with tears, but he knew that Sasuke could see them anyway. Kill Tenten? No…he couldn't let her die. Not for this, not for anything. Choking down all of his pride, Neji reluctantly parted his lips, hating himself even as he did so.
"That's a good boy," Sasuke teased, slipping himself in.
Don't cry, Neji. Don't cry, he urged himself as a triumphant Sasuke thrust in and out of Neji's awkward mouth. He could feel the other man's member inside of his own body. It made his stomach turn and his skin crawl. He'd never felt so ashamed in all of his life. This is a noble deed. You're doing this to protect Tenten. It'll be over soon.
In the other corner of the room, he could vaguely hear Tenten crying over the sound of Sasuke's satisfied groans. "Come one, suck it!" he snapped, using his hands in Neji's hair to jerk his head back and forth. He jammed himself deep into the Hyuga's throat. Without meaning to, Neji started gagging hard. He struggled to suck air in through his nose and keep from choking.
"Stop…please!" Tenten begged, but Sasuke paid her no mind.
"Use your tongue, bitch."
Neji squeezed his already shut eyes even tighter and tried to drown out all of the sounds around him. His face was flaming red, his throat was working hard to hold down vomit as he was made to gag again and again and his skull burned from Sasuke pulling on his hair. He wanted it to end. He wanted it to be over so that he could make himself forget this and never think on it again. Surely, it would go faster if Neji tried a bit harder, but he just couldn't bring himself to do anything. Breathing and stopping himself from full-out crying were hard enough.
After what felt like ages—after the corners of Neji's mouth were raw and bleeding, after his skull had gone numb from Sasuke's fists tearing at his hair—he finally felt the shock of Sasuke's release in his mouth. Neji made a noise of horror and tried pull away, but there was no where to go.
"You better swallow that. That's the only food you'll be getting," Sasuke jeered, keeping his penis half way down Neji's throat until he was certain that it had all been swallowed. When he finally released Neji's hair and pulled his sagging member out of the man's mouth, Neji sputtered and spit whatever remnants of the semen that he could out onto the floor. But it was too late, he'd been forced to swallow most of it or risk drowning.
With his mouth empty, there was nothing left to block Neji from crying out his chest full of sobs. How could this have happened to him? To him? His head drooped and the tangles of long brown hair fell around him like a curtain proclaiming his shame.
As he left, Sasuke smiled and said, "You should be grateful. I could have let you starve."
