Sasuke gasped and choked for breath. He had a splitting headache originating from the back of his skull and tingles in his feet and hands that, he slowly discovered, were bound. Cracking his eyes open, he observed his surroundings.
He was on some sort of mat on the concrete floor of a small room, presumably a cell of some sort. By the numerous pipes, he deducted that there were more cells and possibly some living quarters. The walls matched the floors and had no windows. The only light came from the long fluorescent bulbs on the ceiling that was accompanied by sprinklers for emergency fires. The only means of escape was the big door that seemed to be made of reinforced steel.
"Damn it!"Sasuke roared."You let me go you queer fuck! I know you're out there! I know you can hear me!"
After Sasuke swore, a strange hissing noise erupted in the room and a weird gas surrounded him. Sasuke's eyes started to water and he coughed until he started heaving. His thoughts became fragments and his vision went black.

"Do you think we should feed him?"
"No."
"Should we untie him?"
"No."
Itachi lounged on the couch in the middle of a simple but comfortable room owned by the Akatsuki. This was only one of their many hidden bases to hide out until they could complete a mission uninterrupted by pests like the villages' security watches. Each base had individual rooms for each member and an ample supply like weapons, food, scrolls, bandages, and small comforts (like nail polish lol). The base consisted of four floors: bottom for captives, second for supplies, third for common rooms (living room, kitchen, etc.), and fourth for private individual rooms.
"Should we at least let him bathe?"
"…no…"
"Are you serious?"Deidara screeched."That is so gross!"
Itachi rolled his eyes. Some people were just idiots."Of course he will have the chance when he needs to, but it wouldn't be wise to let him escape. Take note of that Deidara."
Deidara huffed."Whatever."
Itachi stood up and stretched. He knew he needed to provide enough for survival at least. No point in ruining the fun early. At his own pace Itachi reached the bottom floor of the four floor building. He remembered leaving his pathetic brother in the third cell.
Sasuke woke to his older brother kicking his side.
"Wake up."
"Get the fuck off of me! Don't touch me!" Sasuke spit at his brother and received a kick to the face. Once again Sasuke's eyes watered but instead of coughing, blood flowed from his nose.
Itachi squatted and leaned close to his brother's face. "You should listen when I'm talking."
Sasuke squirmed and tried to strike at Itachi with his bound hands. He soon found himself with his brother holding him from behind by his hair, exposing his neck which had a kunai cutting in to it.
"Don't you try it. You listen to me Sasuke! Don't you try it!"Itachi pulled harder on Sasuke's hair."I will kill you!"
"No you won't. You wouldn't keep me in here if you were just going to kill me. You would've already killed me if you were going to."
"I could quickly reconsider."
Sasuke didn't doubt him but he didn't care. Let him. Fucking bastard…
"You will give up escape. When you do this you can eat, drink, and bathe."Itachi threw his brother on the floor and placed his kunai back into its pouch."After a while when I can trust you, you can walk around this floor."
Sasuke snorted."I am not following your stupid fucking rules."
Itachi glanced at his brother and smirked."That's what you say now, but you wait. Soon you will be begging for mercy."
Sasuke shivered at the look in his brother's eyes. As arrogant and stubborn as Sasuke was, he feared what he was to be subjected to without being able to defend himself. This was what some ninja stress on in training. Training, however, is not what will really happen to you. You will not be released. You will not be spared. You won't be tortured to your limits like you will when your enemy is the one who captured you instead of your sensei.
Satisfied that Sasuke grasped that he was serious, Itachi left the third cell, cutting Sasuke off from human interaction and hope of leaving in the same state of mind that he arrived.

Author's note: I hope you like my new work! I am trying to improve where in my earlier years have failed. Also, since I do not have luxuries like cable or internet, I have more time to write what I can post later. I will be staying with a relative who has internet for a little less than a week so I hope to post as much as I can. Your input is very much so wanted!
