Chains Chapter 8: Hello Kitty Cruelty

Chapter 8:

Itachi checked in on the blonde briefly to ensure he was still there before going to pick up another audience member.

The girl he called Candy-Striper, did not speak when he walked into her room. She crawled forward on her hands and knees and nuzzled him as though she were a cat. She did not rise to her feet but stayed on the ground where she was. She was as dirty as Sasuke but her eyes were different.

This was a girl who was broken.

She wore Hello Kitty underwear and training bra to match the undergarments she had worn when first arriving in Itachi's hell hole. Her hair was done in pigtails to emphasize her youth and pink nail polish, applied with a shaking hand was chipping off nails that had been bit back to the point of bleeding. Her face, like Sasuke's, had been spared damage but she was missing her ring finger and pinky from her left hand, as well as the middle finger from her right. They were only cut off at the first joint but 4 toes had been amputated in their entirety.

She opened her mouth to reveal where her tongue had once been and where thick black stitches sealed what small piece of that organ remained in her mouth. Add that to missing teeth a cut left tendon all the scars that covered her body and she was definitely worse for wear.

"Shall I remove another finger today?" Itachi inquired. Sakura shook her head. Her eyes were vacant, and Itachi smiles approving of the docile expression, "We have a performance to go to today," he smirked, "And since I cut one of those pesky Achilles tendons for you you're gonna have to put on your collar and crawl on your leash.

A silent nod was his reply and the broken figure crawled over to a drawer she opened with her mouth and took out the collar and leash that Itachi let all his good pets wear. She picked them up in her mouth and crawled back over to her Master. She dropped them in his open hand and falling back assumed the doggystyle position so he could fasten the leather about her neck.

As he fastened it they both took a moment to observe her wretched form. Her stripes were permanent now, but they had healed and not grown infected, for which Candy-Striper was grateful. A hole where a screw had been driven into her back had grown infected and that had hurt. Pain. Candy-Striper knew she had not felt pain until she'd come to serve Master. She didn't like the pain but it was unavoidable

"So much pain..." sometimes Candy-Striper thought she'd die from all the pain but she hoped not. Candy-Striper didn't want to die, she was very afraid of the dark and her brother had always assured her that death was all darkness.

"But the pain..." She sometimes thought it would overwhelm her but then she thought of her mother and that helped. When the pain got too bad she'd talk to her Mommy.

"It hurts Mommy! It hurts to crawl and it hurts when he climbs on top of me, I don't want to hurt anymore! See! See Mommy I'm being good! I'm being really good so Master will reward me and let me see you again. He hasn't said he'd do that but I know he will if I'm good enough and I've been really good Mommy. I know he will! He has to, I'll be happy if I can just see you again. So I'll be good so I can see you Mommy. I won't hurt anymore if I can just see you I know it..."

It was a disgusting sight. Sakura had held her whole life before her, but all that was gone now, all that was left was servitude. "I'm a good girl, I'm a good girl. I'm a good girl..." the mantra was on repeat in her mind, no more pain, her subconscious begged her, she'd do anything if it would keep him from hurting her. "I love you Master, I love you Master. I love you Master. Don't hurt me. I'm a good girl. See look I'm wearing my collar, I didn't hesitate at all so you don't need to punish me..." Candy-Striper couldn't quite remember what her name used to be, she recalled the one boy had called her by it but she didn't see him anymore, he was bad and that was Candy-Striper's fault, she had spoken against Master. She was very bad and that's why he punished her, but she was being good now so he didn't need to punish her right?

"Good girl, good girl, good girl..." she repeated the words silently even though she could still say them ok so long as she took off the 'd' at the end of good, but Master didn't like the sound of her voice so she didn't say words out loud anymore. She was a good learner for Master especially since every time she spoke her Master cut off another finger or toe so Candy-Striper made very sure to not speak at all.

The collar like everything else mocked her, it was a collar clearly made for dogs and fit her snugly. It was pink with hearts and a dog tag that was also shaped like a heart, gleaming and silver with the word: PET engraved onto its shining surface.

Itachi liked how Candy-Striper flinched every time he moved and yet still tried her hardest to show how much she 'loved' her Master, he briefly considered tightening the collar for the Hell of it but decided he didn't have the time for such frivolous fun.

This pet, like the other one, was extremely dirty, but this one unlike his dear brother was a little more damaged and so was unable to bathe herself. Itachi didn't feel like bathing the slut himself at the moment. He had a show to put on and a blonde whore to destroy.

A part of him supposed that his behavior was irrational, that he should've broken his brother long ago and he would not have this problem time and again, but looking down at Candy-Striper it was easy to see why he hadn't. Broken toys while amusing did not provide the unbroken fun that they provided before they broke. To be honest the breaking was Itachi's favorite part and after they were broken they just weren't as exciting anymore.

Still he'd had enough of Sasuke's defiance and figured that he'd been a person for far too long and figured that he'd just have to find a new favorite toy after his brother was broken.

"Stand-up," Itachi ordered the rosette, who crawled over to the bed and made a sincere but failed attempt to rise to her feet with her disfigured body. She had never moved the same after having her back filled with various nails and what not and although Itachi knew very well who turned her into such an invalid he decided to punish her for something that wasn't her fault.

"Pathetic!" he spat, foot lashing out to catch the feeble girl in the rib.

Candy-Striper immediately renewed her struggle to pull herself to her feet, a struggle that grew more and more frantic as she failed. Her arms shook and not only was her tendon cut but she also had fractured ribs and when that was added to her inconsistent feeding schedule the elder raven sincerely doubted that the pink haired girl was even capable of rising to her feet.

Candy-Striper didn't see it that way however and as her attempts continued to fail she at last laid there on the ground and curled into a ball, head covered by frail scarred hands as she awaited her punishment.

Itachi laughed at her trembling form, feeling superior in his power over her and contemplated how to punish a girl who was expecting to be punished. His fingers itched to cut off another ligament but he knew that he didn't have time for a task like that. He also wanted to test her loyalty to him as he had done with Sasuke in ages past but he knew he didn't have time for that either, so he figured he go to the next best.

The rosette wouldn't just be an audience member. She'd get front row seats and interactive 'fun' too.

Short I know but would you want to draaw something like that out? Its better if I don't :p. Next chapter has Itachi's backstory. I adore reviews and will post when able.
