No one belongs to me besides Anku. (I use that name a lot. It comes from the word Ankoku, which meaning darkness in Japanese.)
--
Two people exist in a single room. They are both so close that the smaller one cannot move. The male looks down at the females' shaking body, though the room is not cold. The man sports black pants and black boots and is so close to her that she can clearly see his chest expand and contract as he breathes.
"It's cute, the way you shake and tremble."
He says, running his hand down her cheek. The feelings being expressed through her shuddering body are completely captured by his eyes. She is crying and sweating, her breath is heavy and labored. At his touch, she jerks from both the fear and his hand.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Mocking… Always mocking…
She tries to speak but no words come so she bows her head.
He laughs. She cries.
"Was it really so hard? If you had just done what he told you to…"
He pauses, violently lifting her chin. Her eyes meet his for a second and drop abruptly to the bed. The black and red silken sheets dance upon the mattress, the top baring its sheets as they clump under her. The pillows acted as a complement to the colors of the bed, merely beautiful decorations, but they now lay on the floor and in bunches on its other side. 'But who needs the pillows' he had whispered eerily. That was of course, before this naïve girl had any clue of what he really meant. The two colors swirl in unison, decorating his walls and bed.
Of course it should be mentioned that black is not a color.
Was it not said that your bedroom reflects your soul?
"H-How c-can y-you expect me to d-do s-something like that? S-She's my b-best friend…"
The trembling of her body intensifies as she speaks and tries to inch away from him.
"She's your only friend."
He pauses, watching her futile efforts.
"Do you not realize that the only thing behind you is the wall?"
She tenses her body and draws her hands to fists but never raises them. Seeing this causes him to smirk.
"Poor Anku, you're always the last one to get picked, the one with no real friends or life. I gave your life meaning, and this is how you repay me?"
He runs his hand down her neck and onto her shoulder.
"An ending as such as this is only fitting for a ragdoll like you."
He spat the last part as Lucifer spits the name of God.
"Don't act as if I never told you… I told you… that you'd be mine… That your trembling figure would be underneath mine in my home, in my bed! I told you… I told you that you would be my slave… My pretty little doll. I told you that I'd make you apologize… and you will."
Grabbing her right arm he returns his attention to her clothing.
She notices the blood. He notices the damned shirt.
'There used to be a sleeve there' she recalls, feeling his hand directly on her arm. 'Such a grotesque little thing to dress yourself in' he thinks, remembering that he had taken off his gloves. His hand is much warmer than her arm is, but they both know why that is.
--
The scene shifts, and the play takes an older form.
--
'Torture you, dolly. Torture is the punishment for disobeying me.' was his response to 'What are you going to do to me?' Normally, she would not have asked him that, but the smirk on his face as he walked in caused her to wonder. She knew that he would not smile for reasons other than his so-called 'divine punishment'. After all, was it not it he who had said 'The Gods don't smile at humans''? She was curious about how he was always so interested in everything that was happening to her. The fact that he had the perfect opportunity to 'test his theories' now scared her. Sephiroth must be happy, but what of Hojo?
He strode into her room, grabbed her right arm in his left hand and promptly began to drag her out.
She knew where he was taking her, for everyone knew where his room was. Of course, no one was ever invited to his room.
"I heard you didn't take her to him, is that correct?"
He had asked her as they were walking down the white hallway.
"But S-"
"Answer the damned question, girl."
He moved his hand down to her wrist, tightening his grip.
"I didn't."
She looked directly at the floor then as a sign of respect to the self-proclaimed God. The gesture was typical coming from her, but in this situation she realized respect was vital. She has been shy ever since Hojo's experiments. He stepped in her direction knowing the fear his existence impresses upon humans.
"What are you going to do to me?"
"Torture you, dolly. Torture is the punishment for disobeying me."
"But I never disobeyed you. I disobeyed him. Come on, nobody likes Hojo."
She pleaded. He stepped up again, pinning her to the wall. His hand, which had been pushing hers to the wall, dwarfed hers with the same effectiveness of a human to an ant.
"Why do you care about Hojo?"
That was when she noticed her arm. Her wrist had started to hurt from the inside. 'But that's not possible' she thought as she looked to him. He smirked as the pain moved from her hand to her chest and restricted her breathing. Her lungs felt as though they were on fire, or perhaps they were simply caving in.
"How… are you… doing this?"
"I'm Sephiroth."
She fell to her knees and clutched her chest with her left hand while she gasped for breath. She had not noticed until then that he had to step back to let her fall. He usually does not let people near him. She had not realized the importance of such a mundane gesture because she was more interested with the pain in her chest and the fact that she was not able to breathe. She looked at him and saw that his smirk was wider. That is when she realized that he was a sadist.
"I'll let you breathe only if you come to my room without a fight. I would hate to make a big scene because of such a small girl."
She managed to nod despite the pain, and that is how she ended up, well, here. After all, who would not want to be in a God's room? Who would not want to rest in the quarters of the most powerful being in existence?
Later-
She could not recall anything that had happened between then and when she could finally breathe. That was when she first noticed that she was in his room. 'This has to be the most beautiful cage I have ever seen.' Decorated in whites and blacks, tapestry hanging from the walls and a flowery chandelier in the middle of the room shows a taste for the classics. The only thing missing is a woman in the white gown draped on the couch but not for long. Surely, he will have his Daisy.
"Now, dolly- it's 5:00 in the morning, so take your shower and eat breakfast."
"W-Where is the b-bathroom?"
"The room that you will be taking a bath in is there."
He pointed to a large door. The door is not quite black, more a dark red, it sports a rose shaped doorknob, and roses around its arch. She opened the door and walked into the room, which has a tub the size of a swimming pool and steaming hot jets that lightly pumped water into the tub. The tub is decorated with roses around its edge. The bathroom itself was black, but the surfaces shine as bright as any white or silver does. The room has various pictures, salts, candles, and other extraneous items.
"DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING THAT YOU DON'T NEED!"
He shouted from another room. She removed her clothing and stepped into the bath.
--
Later
--
Damned girl, why does he expect me to punish her?
He walked over to the sink to wash his hands.
I almost feel for her; Hojo asking me to punish her. He's acting as if she's some baby he can just punish. I understand the lack of tolerance for disobedience within this government, especially when the crime is committed against a member of ShinRa Inc. I also understand that Hojo will complain to us about being sent to the hospital but what right does he have? What rights do they have? To demand something like this is almost… sadistic.
He smirks.
"Besides, Hojo understands my interest in that girl."
Did I say that aloud? I am lucky that she is still in that bathroom. She is cute but Hojo is wrong about why. I do not have human emotions. She is… different, something that I find interesting. When I was… fifteen, was it? She bit my hand because I'd touched her face. She was strapped to that… that table. I am glad she wounded Hojo. It's about time he sees the error in making a creature more powerful than him but I… What about me? I think I'll wait. At least until she is strong enough to aid me.
She snuck out of the bathroom. Sephiroth, walking silently behind her, watched as she tried to walk to the door. As she reached for the doorknob, he said,
"Cute… and you thought I wouldn't see you?"
"Damn it."
She says under her breath.
"Did you think you were leaving without breakfast?"
Her mood visibly darkened. His demonic laugh echoed.
"I guess you did, then. Interesting… at any rate, you'll find that that door is locked. There is no key and even if there was, it has no hole."
"How do you leave then?"
"I'm Sephiroth."
He stated matter-of-factly. She stormed back into her previous room.
"YOU MIGHT WANT TO HURRY UP IN THERE!"
The Master shouted and walked to the phone.
--
Same time, different place.
--
I wonder how I'm supposed to leave. There has to be an exit after all- every entrance is an exit- and other people do have to get in. Sephiroth is a devil though. Maybe there's a special demonic way of leaving. Speaking of devils Hojo should probably be coming soon, to 'check up' on us. That's when I'll leave.
Devil... and to think most of ShinRa would consider Sephiroth an angel. 'Our savior' many have called him, but all that is a lie. The truth is that Sephiroth murdered the last man fighting for humanity's future. An angel? Hmph, Genesis was an angel. Angeal was an angel.
Sephiroth… is he an angel or a devil? There are a lot of women who would let him do as he pleases with them; in fact, most of ShinRa is that way.
The few that don't like him hang out in the slums of Midgar's 3rd sector.
Those parties were always fun… 'Pin the tail on the ass.'
She recalled
Sephiroth was also known as the One Winged Angel… of course he now prefers the title of God. I wouldn't be surprised if he loved being called Lucifer though.
In all actuality, Lucifer is a verb. Most think God sent him to hell for the crimes he committed, but it was simply mistranslated. I've never known Sephiroth to be good, regardless of the interpretation. I did know Genesis. Either way, I guess Lucifer is a bad name for him. Hmm, then what is good? Satan and Hades… Hades was just the one in charge of the dammed, so Satan would fit Sephiroth more.
Then again- the nine Sephiros would have something to say about religion in terms of Sephiroth- even looking past the fact that their names are similar.
Wasn't Sephiroth's mother named Jenova?
Yes… it is Jenova. Jenova is to Jehovah what Sephiroth is to the Sephiros, I presume…
The nine Sephiros were supposed to control individual pieces of the world, right? Isn't that what Sephiroth claims to do; control the world? I wonder if his grandparents had this image in their minds when they named his mother.
Or maybe they were just avid Jehovah's Witnesses.
Wow, that was an odd train of thought… I need to stop that.
--
Few minutes later
--
"Ahh, my darling finally decided to come back out. I was beginning to think you'd drowned yourself in there."
He mocked as she walked back into his room.
"Actually, that's not a bad idea."
She turned around to head back to the tub. He walked up behind her and grabbed her shoulder.
"Ahh but darling, we have so much to do."
"Or… how about you let me go and I leave ShinRa?"
"You are the one who disobeyed Hojo. You deserve to be tortured. I am only the messenger."
"What if someone wanted you to give your sister or your parent to Hojo?"
"I have no siblings and my mother is dead. My father… well… Hahaha…"
He chuckled darkly
"Let's just say that… there are over nine thousand better arguments that you could make."
"Well your parents are the reason you're here. Bastard!"
"Oh no! Are those words supposed to frighten me? Are you going to burn me with them?"
"You're awfully sarcastic. You've always been like that, though, right?"
"Yes."
"But you don't act that way around other people…"
"I don't."
"Why?"
He paused and there was absolute silence. They stared at each other for a while, until the girl drops her gaze to the floor. The gold was turned into a lesser metal by a knock at the door.
Sephiroth grabbed her arm and lead her to the door, opening it simply by turning the knob.
"How'd you-"
"I'm Sephiroth."
Hojo walked in as Sephiroth wrapped his arm around the girl's waist and pulled her toward him.
"Close, eh?"
He said and laughed.
"We're fine, in case you were wondering."
Sephiroth said
"Really, because it doesn't look like she's been punished yet, there are no visible scars, and she has that same dumb look she's had for the past 14 years."
Sephiroth looked at her then, and said
"I don't see or recall a 'dumb look' on her face, but fine. Are you leaving?"
"No, and the look I was talking about is that melancholy look on her face."
"Funny… She didn't have that look before you entered the room."
Sephiroth smirked. The girl was thinking of ways to escape. Hojo was not amused.
"Maybe that's what you keep seeing, Hojo."
The girl said
"Shut up, I wasn't talking to you."
Hojo spat
"Cool it. Why are you still here?"
Sephiroth said. Hojo smirked that time.
"I came to watch."
The girl jerked her head forward
"WHAT?!"
Hojo laughed insanely. His voice echoed throughout the room.
"No wonder no one likes you with that disgusting laugh of yours, Hojo. What is it that you came to watch?"
"The girl. I want to see how she reacts to being handled by a God. A God of my own blood."
Hojo grinned. Sephiroth sneered
"You? I have no relation to you. You just happened to be the father that created the vessel for me."
"I dunno about that."
The girl started and was about to continue with 'you should love your parents' but was interrupted.
"Then do not talk about that which you do not know."
Sephiroth finished.
"What charming wit you have, Sephiroth."
Hojo said regarding his obvious play on words
"You're pretty funny yourself; after all you said you were going to watch something, right? Why don't you do that. There's a TV in the back."
"You know what I was talking about."
"I don't. In case you've forgotten, I asked you."
"You've forgotten, I answered. I said 'the girl'."
"You can watch her at many different times of the week so why bother watching her now?"
"She's weak when compared to a God. I'm a mere … dog, as you would put it."
Hojo said, once again making the wordplay apparent.
"If she's weak to a God, in a week she'll still be the same. Furthermore, I wouldn't reverse a word like that, it's simplistic. Leave."
Sephiroth countered.
"How should I phrase this so you'll understand? Aha!"
He exclaimed
"If she's weak to a God, and will remain so a week, then in a week, she still won't be weak to a dog."
Hojo said, amazed at his own intelligence.
"What an idiot."
Sephiroth said
" "You're the man in the room. I was just trying to impress you with my wit."
Hojo retorted, having been obviously insulted.
"No- you're the man in the room, I am the God."
"That's what I meant. I thought you liked metaphors, similes and wordplay."
The girl who had been getting aggravated decided to insult Hojo as well.
"He likes them when they're used correctly."
"Shut up."
Hojo said, to which Sephiroth replied
"Leave, Hojo. I am not going to let you see any of the things I do to punish her."
"Well, do you think you could explain any of those things? Provide some hints… maybe… hmmm?"
"I'm going to put her in a freezer, I'm going to rape her, I'm going to lock her up in a cell with no food for 3 days. You have four things, leave."
"That was three."
"Locking her in a cell and depriving her of food are two different things Hojo. Leave."
Hojo did leave. Sephiroth was about to close the door when the girl decided to bite his hand and escape. She made it to the door but he grabbed her waist and pulled her toward him as he slammed the door shut with his left hand.
"Don't try that again."
He whispered in her ear.
"Damnit."
"It really is cute."

So yeah, the rape is going to be in the next chapter. She gets tortured also, but it's just the beginning, I've decided that I'm going to use things that I am actually afraid of because I think it might come out better if I do. The rape scene is labled and the rest of the chapter is that rape, so if you don't want to read it then you can stop there.
Man I can't believe this many people read this, my friends have been bullying so I plan on updating, {I not good at the whole denying people thing} so if you want it faster you CAN bug me, but it might not turn out well and {like this} I might keep rewording everything. I only changed the way I said things in this chapter.
