Chapter Seven

Toorima cringed as the large man scrubbed her body clean. He didn't do anything perverted to her, in fact, he asked her permission before every little thing he did. Juugo, as he called himself, seemed to be a very gentle person. The man told her about everything he had discussed with her feline companions.

Little by little Toorima found herself relaxing. It was probably more out of exhaustion than the man's kindness. He felt so bad for her. She looked like a fragile little creature as she shivered under his hands. He made sure to be very gentle as he wiped away the proof that Sasuke had claimed her. She squeaked but was otherwise too sore and tired to protest.

The man had finished and before he left promised her that he was taking very good care of Chaos and Serenity. Toorima believed what he said because of the way he said it. She found it odd that such a kind gentle person was traveling with such a monster.

Now clean and dry Toorima lay in bed fearful of what would happen next. Even though she was unbelievably tired, sleep would not let her escape to the world of dreams. Her fear kept her pondering the future. Was Sasuke finished with her or would she continue to be raped until he was tired of her? Would she be freed when he was fully satisfied or would he kill her? And what did he mean that she would be the one to help him restore his clan?

Before she knew it exhaustion got the better of her and she slipped into darkness. All too soon she was woken up. It was by the last person she ever wanted to see again. A very lustful looking Sasuke loomed over her and took no time at all mounting her and bringing her nightmare to life.

Day after day, week after week Toorima continued to be raped and tortured by Sasuke Uchiha. She was only allowed brief visits from Chaos and Serenity and was never left alone. Her every action was monitored and planned. Not one move slipped past their notice.

Toorima had become hollow, allowing herself to fall into a deep slumber within her inner psyche. She was now nothing more than a lifeless doll. Time spent in captivity was the worst ever. In truth she would have, and could have escaped long ago if she wasn't afraid of the consequences and how they would hurt Kisame.

Everything she was doing, everything she was going through, was for him. It was all for Hoshigaki Kisame. The love of her life and the man she would go through hell for. Toorima had accepted her current situation as punishment for running away from him in the first place.

One month, two months, three months passed by like eternity. Only Toorimas prayers kept her going. Well, and the unspoken promise she gave to Kisame in that kiss. Here pretty soon she would find him again. She had been thinking in the last week that Sasuke was clearly waiting for something. He had his own end of the bargain to keep and he hadn't left wherever they were at all since they arrived. This had to mean that he was waiting for something specific before he set out. Toorima would be patient and the moment Sasuke was gone she would make her escape. Chaos and Serenity were well informed on all her plans when she was able to see them.

That moment came not even a week later. Toorima woke up from her sleep and stumbled to her tiny bathroom. She collapsed to her knees and was violently sick into the toilet. It was a horrible feeling. Her stomach hurt like hell and her head was pounding. Karin and Suigetsu who were closest to her room barged in to see what was happening.

Suigetsu knelt beside her and pulled her hair out of the way ordering an angry Karin to go get Sasuke. Juugo and Suigetsu had grown to like Toorima over the three months and she was ok with them as people. She hated both Sasuke and Karin with a passion hotter than lava but the other two were fine and she could live with them.

Sasuke was brought into the room and his angry glare at Karin vanished the moment he heard Toorima in the bathroom. He rushed forward and stared down at her with a pleased look. Her snow leopard ears flattened to her head as she gave a painful moan and hurled again. "It is done. Wake Juugo, we will fulfill our mission quickly." The Uchiha said to Karin and shooed Suigetsu from the room as well.

The man knelt beside his victim and took in the scent of her hair. Toorima had thrown up everything that was in her stomach and was now plagued with dry heaves. They were painful and made her head pound so much harder. Sasuke leaned in close to her lowered ear. "You will bare my children and eventually you will love me." He whispered then stood and left the room.

There was commotion about the base and then all was silent. Toorima could tell from the fact she couldn't hear or smell anything that she was alone. The others had left to fulfill their mission. Now her plan will come into action. The moment she was sure she would be safe Toorima bit her thumb and used it to summon her companions to her seeing as she wasn't in any condition to wander about looking for them.

Serenity and Chaos knew immedietly what was expected of them. Chaos carefully helped his master onto his back while Serenity gathered her clothes and things into her pack. As fast as they could the three of them left the base. It felt good to be outside again the wind brushed softly against her pale sweaty face. The only reason this plan worked was because Sasuke had assumed that she would not be able to escape in her present condition.

A few hours away from her personal prison Toorima ordered Chaos to stop again. She walked slowly behind some trees and began to dry heave again. Sasukes' words echoed in her mind and she hated him more. How could he do this to her? How could Jashin-sama allow this? Exhausted and in an excess amount of pain Toorima made her way back to her worried comrades and mounted Chaos. "Find Kisame, quickly." She said. She pulled a rope from her pack and tied her legs to Chaos to keep herself from falling off. Then she gladly fell asleep.

(o_o)

"Toorima!!! TOORIMA!" A voice bellowed at her and she groaned, rolling over. Her head hurt and she couldn't sleep anymore. Sitting up and stretching she let out a loud catlike yawn and rubbed her eyes. She started to notice her surroundings. It was much warmer than her dungeon they called a room, it was brighter, and she was surrounded by the people she loved. Kisame was right there, standing over her with a worried look on his face.

"K-kisame?" Toorima said after getting a firm grasp on reality. Tears involuntarily spilt from her eyes. It had to be the fact that Kisame had a large gash down his right cheek and the fact that his upper body was shirtless and battered. "What happened?" She sobbed gingerly touching the cut on his face.

"Chaos and Serenity brought you to me. Madara was there and I held him off while you three got away. Then I followed you." He explained shortly and sat down on the end of the bed. "I'm fine now, what about you?" He said blowing off his injuries like they were nothing. The question had brought her up short though. How was she? What could she say? 'Sorry Kisame, the virginity I saved for you was taken by my worst enemy and now I'm carrying his child?' The thought made her laugh a dark laugh and her companions whimpered. They hated themselves for not being able to do more to help their master and friend.

Kisame looked at her and arched an eyebrow. "What is it?" He asked skeptical. Toorima couldn't answer him. She sat there for a moment and thought of something to say. Her words popped out before she could stop them. "I want chicken." The shark-nin looked at her like she was joking. Serenity bolted right off the floor and headed to the kitchen. That's when Toorima noticed she didn't even know where they were. "Um, where are we?" She asked looking Kisame straight in the eyes, her ears perked up with her curiosity.

"This is a small house that Itachi owned. Only he and I know about it and I figured since he isn't here to use it anymore he won't mind if I use it." He paused for a moment and sighed deeply. Toorima felt bad for bringing it up and crawled down to the end of the bed. "Sorry." She said. Kisame put his large hand on the top of her head and rubbed her large feline ears. "It's fine." The leopard-nin didn't even hear his reply. The sensation of having her ears rubbed made her start purring and nuzzle Kisames side. He chuckled and lifted her chin looking down at her.

He was going to kiss her. She could tell and a knife seemed to pierce her heart. Her innocence had been taken, she couldn't kiss him now. "I'm sorry." Toorima whispered, his lips mere inches from hers. With her hands covering her face she ran to the bathroom and slammed the door. She crumbled to the floor and sobbed.

If you have never been raped or tortured in your life you could never understand how Toorima felt in that moment. She had been reunited with the only man she had ever loved just to be tainted and filthy. Toorima no longer felt that she deserved to stay by his side. Maybe it was a mistake returning to him. It would have been better if she had just run away like long ago, or simply died.

The sobbing continued for what seemed like ages. Her tears had stopped and now she was just curled into a ball and laid on the cold floor. "Toorima, come out now." Kisame said for the billionth time from the other side of the door. She didn't have the courage to face him, but her stomach had different plans. No matter how bad she felt her stomach wasn't going to allow her to hide anymore.

The bathroom door opened slowly and Toorima was immedietly encased in strong blueish arms. "Idiot." Kisame breathed. She was confused as to why he was still here, and why he was holding her so tenderly. Surely he was disgusted with her. Toorima didn't know just how wrong she was.

"You will not leave me again. Do you understand me idiot?" Kisame whispered into her ear and Toorima wrapped her arms around him giving in to her desire to be with him. "There is something you need to know." She said pulling back from his embrace and placing her hands on his broad chest. "I know." He said placing his index finger over her lips and putting his free hand gently over her abdomen. "Then why…?" She didn't know how to voice her question.

Kisame chuckled. "Well, seeing as I can't have children of my own and I always worried that you wouldn't want me when you yourself wanted a child, this works out for both of us." He smiled gently down to her. "I will never leave your side again and I won't let you pull any more self sacrifice crap." He said seriously capturing her eyes fiercely. She could only nod.

This feeling was wonderful. He still wanted her knowing that she was no longer the pure clean girl she used to be. He seemed to know what she was thinking. "I hate to tell you this, but I have had lots of girls before your time. You were gone for thirteen years and I did become somewhat of a drunk." As soon as the words were out of his mouth Toorima had an urge to slap him across the face, but it also made her feel better even if only a little.

"Promise you'll stay." Hoshigaki said quietly pulling her back into a tight hug. She nodded into his chest and squeezed him as tight to her as their bodies would allow. The moment ended when Toorima smelt something coming from the kitchen. "Chicken!" She said and bolted toward the smell. Kisame could have keeled over laughing. This was going to be very interesting.

(-_-)

Sasuke went on a rampage and threw another chair at the wall. It had been three days since they left to fulfill their end of the agreement with Madara. Capturing eight tails was an entire one day battle by itself. They had succeeded and headed back as fast as they could but it was too late. The Uchiha felt so stupid in having believed that just because she was pregnant now that she would stay with him.

Karin along with the other three Hawk members searched the base. Her search was halfhearted and lazy. She was pleased that the little leopard girl was gone. Now she could have Sasuke to herself again. Suigetsu passed Karin and glared at her. "Sasuke is calling for us." He informed her and trudged on.

Sasuke sat in the main gathering room of the facility. His hair was disheveled and his breathing was quick and agitated. When Karin, Suigetsu, and Juugo entered the room Sasuke took a deep breath. "Find her. I don't care what it takes, or who has to die, find her and bring her back to me." He commanded in a voice that wasn't going to allow questions of defiance.

Without a word his followers left the facility and spread out, fanning far out. Sasuke took in a deep breath and stood. He ran his hand through his hair to straighten it out a bit and he took an extra second to calm himself down. Then he too set off, but his objective was information from Madara.
