WARNING –

WARNING –

Yep more dark, deathly scenes. Further Togusa abuse and torment.
So troupers and alike you've been warned –

When the image loaded view of knives being sharpened appeared the steady rhythm of clanging metal agenst metal as the long blade was slowly being sharpened. They could hear their agent quietly crying off to the left. The screen flashed red and as everyone already knew they were once again paralyzed as well as their minds and bodies subject to feeling their friend's pains and emotions. A sensation of bodily pains washed over them as well as extreme fear and anxiety. He could barely breath as his heart pounded violently in his chest. It felt that he had been both tortured before and recently as though it had just stopped before the tape was set recording. Of all the feelings, doom took most president amongst all his current emotions. About the only thing not imposed on the members where Togusa's thoughts.

" Welcome back Section 9," the mysterious computer changed voice greeted, " I told you I'd send another one."

" Sick prick," Batou retorted through clenched teeth.

The man walked over to the bed. Togusa was still chained up blind folded, bleeding, burned, and helpless. Floodlights now shown on his nude form making an eerie stage like appeal to it all.

" If it makes a difference to any of you he's been a good boy. Hasn't said much about any of you, but I don't really need that when I have him, " He began rounding the bed and getting on top of his victim once more, " Show them how much you love me Togusa." He said leaning down and kissing him. This time he did not scream or try to move away just inhaled deeply through his nose in a suppressed sob. Releasing from this kiss his captor laughed, " Nice eh? Totally obedient as one should be," pulling a wire from behind him he used his free hand to grab a fist full of brown locks and none to gently yank his toy's head up gaining more access to his neck, placing the connecting point into the back of his neck and releasing. Slowly he began to trail his now free hands down Togusa's body. Togusa just moved his head to the side his emotions seeming to stop into one single uncaring, numb mass.

" Please!" He desperately whispered.

" Everyone scream for me…" He said mockingly as he thrust in to his victim electing a clenched scream from the brunette. Suddenly surprised he gasped.

" Bastard you've hacked my eyes!" Togusa hollered shocked, gasping he added, " Batou, He's that man he's – " what ever else he was going to say was knocked right out of him as the man slammed a fist squarely on his chest, effectively knocking out his air and almost stopping his heart. Angrily he invaded with more force and slicing wildly at his victim's stomach and arms with the knife. After forcing his whims on his victim thourghly making very sure to maximize his pain and suffering the man paused kneeling above Togusa looking down.

"…He smells like lithium." Togusa breathlessly stated.

" Now now Togusa, " the man said tossing the sharp blade back and forth in his hands.

" He's cyberized…" He tried again. The man stopped tossing the blade and hit his victim once again hard.

" He's a bad natural isn't he? You see Togusa trying to tell them who I am will only accelerate your death but it will also increase your suffering…You don't want to suffer any more now…do you?"

He couldn't respond still trying his up most to breath properly.

" Well," he began again leaning closer, " do you have anything left to say?"

" They…they'll find you Ch – Ahh!" He was hit yet again but not in the chest this time. A sick crack and sharp pain indicated his jaw just broke. He let Togusa catch his breath a moment and regain some bearings before removing the black blindfold. His captive opened his eyes even though he could not see through them any longer he could still move them. His eyes had a deadened look to them. The man cupped his face in his hands briefly, " Such beautiful eyes, " he said lightly stroking his prisoner's face with his thumb, " They say the eyes are the gate way to the soul. What do you think Togusa?" He didn't answer, he couldn't, " Do you believe that beauty is with in all? No matter how vile? No matter how good or bad someone is? Do you you think it can bloom with in even the darkest of places? " All he could do was growl. He didn't like the sound he received. With out a moment's hesitation he took his index, middle finger, and thumb and rammed them through Togusa's right eye. The movement was so fast and graceful that it took a moment for his brain to catch up to the fact his eye had just been torn asunder and he screamed, louder then he'd ever done in his entire life pulling his restraints taunt. When all he could do was whimper and breathe heavily in agony his captor added, " This will make a lovely reminder of you, "

He reached over to a small table and placed the blood-covered object on the table.

" I'm sorry I'd love to play with you forever, but some one needs your organs now, " He said apologetically but still rather amused at the same time. Taking the knife he began to lower it as he too went downwards and stopped just above Togusa's groin taking the knife and placing it's tip just below the belly button. Togusa screamed through clenched teeth as if to protest his fear jumped even higher and adrenaline racing through his misused body. As the knife penetrated not too deeply but just enough to make it through flesh and muscles, not deep enough to scrape the precious insides. Slowly steadily he cut with all the due patience of a chess player as not to kill his patient until he was ready for it. Feeling the blade slice through them no one could help but expression their horror at being sliced open. It took time lots of mind numbing time to slice open the body destroy the rib cage and begin to cut and remove organs starting from his lower body and moving up. All the while taking care not to out right give his victim a heart attack or stroke. Alive the entire process if he was allowed there would've been no doubt he would've been completely blinded with pain if not for the fact his remaining eye was seeing through his captors. Hardly anyone could take it if their bodies where their own many would've quit long before and now been throwing up. Barely able to see now Batou whispered pleas for it to just end for them and his partner. Unable to hunch over or rip off the head set. His screams of anguish now chocked in his thoughts. The man picked up Togusa's still beating heart blood falling off of it with each pump.

" You should really say something to them Togusa," he said petting the beating muscle gently like a newborn kitten. He didn't responded but moved his head as if he was looking directly at him, " No well then goodbye," he said pressing firmly on the muscle sending a quick sharp pain then he let up Togusa gasped, " Now you all have a reason to hate me don't you? Say goodbye to him. You won't get his body back." The red flash appeared and the image cut out. Batou wasted no time in ripping the headset off and dashing for the nearest trash can. The Major did her best not to fallow suit ripping her head set off as well but leaning down folding her arms and putting her head down. Saito tried to pass off his nausea as well but ended up grabbing a second trashcan in the room. Everyone else either dazed out or was crying. Knowing his fate leveled everyone. The silence was deafening it seemed to stretch for eternity.

" Everyone," Aramaki's voice was heavy after a long silence, " go home." He said sounding dazed. No one moved for a long time and then very slowly everyone made their ways out of Ishikawa's research office.
