It was odd sitting under a long dining table, amongst all the pairs of vampire legs and what pets/slaves there were at their master's feet as she was.

Rei really wanted to be near Tobi, but he was on the opposite side, too far to be within earshot without being overheard from above.

What was he going to tell me?

The girl had an idea she would find out sooner or later, but for now she was bored. The meal and talking from above dragged on, Kakuzu occasionally stroking her hair and shoulder from time to time for a soothing effect.

She had no clue if that's why he really was doing that but it seemed to be the case. Sighing, she shifted and sat on her knees when something caught her eye.

A lot of movement seemed to be going on so she leaned forward to investigate. Her eyes grew large from what the others were doing; they were unbuttoning their master's pants and pulling out their members…..most which were already hard….and giving them blowjobs.

Whipping her head the other way she saw Tobi and luckily he was looking at her when she pointed disbelievingly. His shoulders slumped and pouted, giving her a look that said 'I'm sorry but that's how it is.'

This had to be what he was going to tell her and dreaded what was going to happen now. A sharp kick to her side got her attention, whimpering in pain she realized her master was feeling around for her but she accidently wandered too far forward.

Crawling back and gently touching his hand to show him where she was, he seemed to relax a bit before grabbing the back of her neck and shoving her facedown against his crotch.

Gasping she pushed away but the hold on her hair was tight, pulling her towards him with more force. Whimpering from the sharp stings to her scalp she merely rested her head there, not daring to move when she heard an impatient growl and a lecturing finger pointing back to his groin.

Rei had a feeling that was what he wanted but she couldn't bring herself to even try. She's never done anything like that before and was scared but her fear of Kakuzu was just as dire.

Trembling against his legs for several minutes he didn't grab her again when the vampires fixed their pants and scooting their chairs back.

Not all the vampires had that done to them mind you but quite a few did. When the tablecloth was lifted she crawled out and fixed her dress, purposefully avoiding the furious glare from the vampire when he immediately dragged her back upstairs.

She caught a glimpse of Tobi giving her a sympathetic look as Zetsu glanced down at him with concern.

*The girl cringed when she was thrown into his room, the miser slamming the door shut and shaking his head.

She backed away from him when he growled, "Come back here!" Biting her lip nervously she shuffled over to him slowly when another familiar sharp strike across the face knocked her down to the floor.

She tried to curl into a ball sobbing but he jerked her back up and snarled, "Why did you not do as you were told!?" "I..I…I didn't know.."

That earned her another slap. "Don't feign ignorance with me girl! I know you saw what they were doing down there."

Weakly trying to remove his painful grip on her arm she whimpered, "Bu…But…..I've never….done that before."

Snorting in frustration he grumbled, "That may be since I know you're a virgin by smell, but that doesn't give you the excuse to disobey me. Now I have a problem to deal with because I was hoping for some release. I have a good mind to make you do it now."

Hanging her head she whimpered, "I'm sorry master, I didn't mean to make you upset….but please don't make me do that."

Taking some deep breaths the vampire regained his composure somewhat before murmuring, "I'll give you two choices for punishment Rei. You blow me as intended or I'm going to whip you with my belt. What will it be?"

She didn't like either one in the least but choosing the latter made him even angrier. The vamp shoved her face down on the bed with her legs dangling off the edge and tied her wrists to the bedpost.

Lifting the dress up and jerking down the panties, he removed the strong leather belt and pinned her lower half with his free hand before raising the thick material.

The first hard whack made the girl cry out in pain, followed by the next and so on. She cried nonstop and buried her face into the sheets and trying to ignore the sharp pain and sharp cracks of the belt.

She didn't know how many times she was whipped but when he was through; her behind was throbbing and burning to no end.

She felt him remove the binds, actually caressing her cheek for some sign of an apology but she turned her head the other way as soon as he did.

Rei was beginning to hate him, he was ruthless and selfish. Softly hiccuping into the sheets, it wasn't long before she wanted to go to the bathroom.

Shakily trying to prop herself up she collapsed down so tried again, slowly sliding backwards until her feet touched the carpet.

She wasn't sure if she'd be able to walk there without her legs giving way, but that thought got diminished when a strong pair of arms scooped her up and carried her in there.

The brute seemed to know what she wanted and Rei hissed when she sat down on the toilet seat, refusing to do anything until he left though. Having someone stand over you while in the bathroom is something not many people are used to.

Taking the hint he snorted and left, the girl going her business before trying to clean herself afterwards…to this he came back.

She couldn't understand why he was even bothering to tend to her injuries that included the large bruise on her arm and swelling cheek, not to mention her behind; even taking the liberty to wash her face from the tears too.

He was rubbing some soothing ointment on the areas now, taking special care not to press too hard and take his time. He work his way up to her face, gently applying the stuff to her cheek before redressing her into something else and carrying her back to the bed.

It was odd, this cruel vampire just practically beat her and now he's consoling her. Rei did rather like his kind notion strangely enough, after that treatment she wanted someone to hold her.

Resting against his chest, the strong hands caressed her back when she shifted to a more comfortable position. Glancing up at him he met her gaze before going back to staring at nothing in particular.

All he did do was grumble, "Rest." And that she did, actually falling asleep against the massive heap of warmth wondering.

Is Kakuzu a good vampire or a bad one?
