Chapter 55 - Waiting
Dimly lit, with a single light bulb hanging on the ceiling, the room was not what one would call spacious. Its walls an arrangement of red bricks, one solid metal door led to the room's only exit.
With her hands and feet chained to four different points that formed a square, she laid silently on her stomach, atop the single pillow large enough to fit her entire body when she curled up.
She supposed that this was better than before, where she was chained against the wall like how a sacrifice would. The current chains were long enough to allow her some movements whenever she needed to stretch her joints, yet they restricted her from doing much else.
That was, if she wasn't drugged most of the time.
Her entire body limp, she barely had the strength to move a finger. While her body was immune to poisons and whatever drugs he had tried on her, relaxant was a totally different matter. The blood within her would purify whatever that was causing the body or mind harm, but a relaxant or sleeping drugs weren't considered harmful; much to her annoyance.
Dazed blue eyes stared ahead of her, where the metal door stood imposingly. How long had it been, she wondered. She had had sixty-four meals, but she wasn't sure how often or how far in between those meals had been. The drugs had wrecked up her sleeping periods, and she couldn't figure out between being truly sleepy or drugged to sleep.
Orochimaru was one sadistic son of a snake, pun totally intended.
Her eyes never left from the door. If she could, she would be laughing at the sheer hilarity of the situation. Here she was, once again, unmoving and bound, staring at the door wishing that it would open...
Waiting once again, for her 'Master'.
Sometimes, she wondered if this was the reason she was bestowed with this name. Over and over the cycle repeated, like a never ending wheel of fate.
Was this her eternal destiny?
For she was Kagome, the bird in the cage.
