-1Chapter three for you all. Read and review before anything else! I own nothing but a twisted plot line and several ideal on which none shall ever be true sigh damn. For all those wondering (I wonder who you are I really do) Past things will be revealed slowly because I want to make sure the story doesn't unfold too quickly as the relations between several people aren't even happening yet! (The voice will turn up sooner or later I hope ha ha) Enjoy and don't be sick. You have been warned. XD

Of Struggles, Pain, Power and Battle

By Spirited Dragon

Chapter 3

Past Mistakes paid in Blood and Sweat

A flurry of punches and well aimed kicks rained down on Naruto, "Have fun disobeying me did you? I thought we had come to an understand demon, but…" a kick. "I guess…" a punch "I was oh so very wrong…" a slap. The soft lighting overhead was almost ironic as this would be how one would spend time with the person they loved, instead here Naruto was lying out of breathe struggling to breathe, bruises almost forming and blood dripping onto a pristine carpet. He curled himself up against the protest of his body and shivered as the decider of his fate reached down and cupped his chin in his hands. "Come now pet, you know this is for your own good. Without my guidance you'd still be running from the past and what you did."

"Haven't I paid enough for what he did?" A weak trembling voice asked.

"He, HE? You talk as if he were a different person but you forget. You are he and he is you and together you help destroy what I had come to love, I welcomed you into my home! I thought how could one such as yourself always be so happy? And I came to LOVE you, did you realise that when you ripped…when you felt them bleed? No because you have been many things to me back then but now I know you for what you are, a feral monster, no DEMON, who feeds of the pain and suffering of others…"

"I didn't do any of it! It was him he took over and ….Why would I? I loved you and them too much to give you up!! You were the ONLY family I had, do you know he's laughing at me now ,do you realise huh? He controls things like that, he's the one who lusts after the torment and blood yet he hides behind me and lets people think I am the one who commits his sins. He is a coward and a monster and I regret being born with him as a part of me but please! Listen I …"

"Enough!" Naruto's masters eyes flashed a golden colour and rage seemed to consume him, the façade of calm and sadism slid to reveal a demon in their own right, one whose laugh shook the very core of those who dared to listen, one who knew how very right Naruto's rambling was but choose to take the lower and easier road. "Tonight I think I, no you will revisit old lessons and maybe, just maybe if you act the way you know how then I won't bury you like you did my family. Come." With that Naruto was once again dragged by his hair into his masters bedroom and thrown onto his bed.

He was tied tightly, almost hand numbingly, to the headboard and the one who had once been his friend revealed a thin knife blade. He slowly cut through Naruto's clothing hard enough to pierce his skin in several places but not hard enough to be considered more the chicken scratches. He kissed his way down towards the others navel and licked some droplets of blood always from sore wounds and revelled in the fact his pet was shaking and trembling at his touch. He hadn't forgotten but still he fought, even when he knew it was wrong. Maybe the "other" him, term used loosely of course, played a bigger part than he had come to understand. He looked up to see big blue eyes staring at his momentary lapse in concentration. Momentary.

"I love the way you're so responsive. Even after all this time. Let go. Let go for me. Pay. I want you pay for your crimes in your blood and your sweat. Understand?"

Nothing.

"Understand?!" He shouted, and yet still nothing, "Humph, never mind, remember I said every minute would be on your head? Well I make it fourty minutes till you came to your senses and it's time you meet an old acquaintance." He reached around and over Naruto to the side table where he opened the second drawer down to pull out a short heavy leather whip on which where several studded pieces. Dry rusty stains littered it. Naruto's eyes opened wider a fraction and it was then he felt a familiar taste in his mouth, the sickly bitter taste of bile.

"Brat you are so disgusting you know that? I cannot believe you let us get dragged into this mess."

"Shut up! This is all your fault why don't you just crawl away and die? Huh? Why don't you? We all know I wouldn't be here if weren't an evil, filthy, lower than trash, blood lusting shit bag!"

"See if only you could shout that to my kin over there then he would be oh so sorry, better yet pull the seal, I can help you. I can make them pay." The voice said continuing to growl and snarl at him.

"You've done enough damage just let me… Arghhhhh!" His thought conversation cut off by a hard sharp lash to his abdomen.

"Don't ignore me! I own you, you WILL keep your eyes on me! Look! Look at how you bleed. Like them. I won't show you the mercy of death though, no matter how tempting." Fast, slow, alternating blows rained down on him and each one of the fourty or odd lashes brought down raised welts and angry looking bruises. Soon his front and thighs were a mess of purple and black. Naruto, he was a mess of tears, red raw eyes and a sore voice broken from the screams.

The dominating personality of his master never ceased to amaze Naruto, even when they had some sort of a friendship he was possessive and hated the fact he had to "share" Naruto with all the other people that seemed to flock to the boy. Now he had free reign to do what he wanted when he wanted, it was truly terrifying. Said dominating person slowly undressed himself and flipped Naruto over onto his stomach harshly pushing his face into the bed cutting of a much needed air supply. Naruto began to squirm. He began to writhe. That was until he felt something probing somewhere it really shouldn't (A/N Just trying to remain not so graphic and that's the polite way of putting it. Really.) He stilled and bit his lip hard when his masters hand brushed against his prostate bringing not completely unwanted pleasure rippling down his spine. NO. This was wrong. He would fight.

"Enjoy it brat. I am. It's so much fun seeing you in pain. Just let me use my power. I can get you…US out of this mess you oh so conveniently got us in." Said the voice.

"No I can fight this myself I don't need your power I can do it myself!" Replied Naruto even though deep down he knew he was close to breaking. So close… As he felt himself pass out from lack of oxygen he knew he had enjoyed it this time. His body betrayed him. His master continued to assault him and he was almost pleased he was close to death. Almost, and in the soft light illuminating the room if one were to look and observe the scene unfolding, they would observe electric red hair plastered to a face that showed only rage, hate and killing intent.
