Ningyo (Doll)

Chapter 6- Lullaby of the Whip (Part 2)

"I am…Orochimaru. I liberated Saya from your savage village." He rubbed up against Saya, who smiled down at him, "I named her, raised her away from here, and taught her how to live. I am the one who had her seal away her own voice and play nice with other people." Yukamaru watched in horror, "I am her everything. Ask her yourself. She will never love you or look at you nor anyone else the way she does to me. Do you know what your village has done to her to make her like this? They abandoned and abused her." He slithered closer to Yukamaru, who shook violently, as Saya closed her eyes and put her hands over her ears. "They splattered her blood across the snow, thinking her demise would bring your seasons back. The only reason your in eternal winter is because of her heart. Your Village has made her numb, cold, and hateful. Abandonment, hate, abuse, distain; You and your village brought this upon her. I released her."

"N….No…" Yukamaru murmured, "We- We didn't-"

"The hole where her heart used to be when I found her. It had grown to the point where, in front of my eyes, she attempted to gorge her own eyes out. I gave her what she needed, and in return, she gave me everything I could never find. What I'd sought out for years, I found on a night when I lost my way in the snow. I took her, yes, but she asked for it." Yukamaru shook his head in denial,

"She was happy-!"

"Saya was a broken doll. I saw how the chains were so tight, they ripped into her skin. She attempted to follow me, and she was choked by them, falling in the snow, her blood slowly coloring it. There is no life for her here. That is why I took her. I fixed her." Orochimaru said bluntly, "Go home, little boy." He wrapped around Saya, and Saya smiled warmly at him. "This is no place for you." Yukamaru stook up, shaking,

"You're a kidnapper!" Yukamaru said, grabbing him, and Saya got to her feet. In a flash, the chains of her anklet were wrapped around Yukamaru's neck, and he slowly began to choke from lack of oxygen. "Yu…ki." Saya coughed, the anklet draining her surge of strength quickly, before she fell down, slashing his lower leg with her nails on the way down and taking the snake back. She cut the threads between her lips with Yukamau's waist knife, and she lightly bit her lip.

"Yukamaru…" His heart skipped a beat, and Orochimaru slithered over to her, wrapping around her. Yukamaru grew quiet, taking his knife back,

"I'll let you rest…" Yukamaru said defeated, taking his knife back and leaning down to kiss her, but Orochimaru lashed out, hissing for him to fuck off. "I won't let a barbarian like you win her over!" Yukamaru snapped, before storming off, and Orochimaru looked at Saya,

"You've seemed to have gotten your voice under control." Saya blushed and looked away, "That boy is quite the nuisance. It must have been bothersome, dealing with him. It sounds like he's been with you every day." She nodded and Orochimaru rested against her. "It also looks like you've been neglecting to tape your chest down." She twitched, and covered her mouth, as his tongue flicked against one of her weak spots.

"Mmmph!" She whimpered, and he sneered, flicking another one that made her shiver.

"I don't think I'll mind being stuck here for a little while with you." Orochimaru told her, wrapping around her chest and she blushed heatedly, hugging him none the less. "Don't worry, Kabuto is dependable and I doubt he'd leave 'helpless little Saya' all on her lonesome. You've done well." She tried to resist shivering as he touched another weak spot of hers with the tip of his tail. "I believe this 'alone time' would be a good time to play 'confessional'."

~O~O~O~

"We don't like Outsiders. Leave now" Another door was slammed in their faces. Madara's patience was already at an end, and Kabuto had grown tired as well, pushing up his glasses.

"Come on. If we wander in the mountains, then we may find her." Madara sighed, trying to calm down, as he pulled down his hood more while they walked. A blizzard came out of no where and the two didn't stop walking until they couldn't move. When it passed, they had both ended up unconscious. After a while, Kabuto woke up, stirring, feeling warm and comfortable.

"Looks like one of them woke up." Kabuto opened his eyes, looking up, Saya staring down at him, smiling, she adjusted a slightly damp towel on his forehead, gently moving his head from her lap to a pillow, standing up and walking off in the igloo. A large white snake was wrapped around her like a dress, her chest covered by it's white and parchment yellow skin, as was her hips, but nothing else. "Make sure you have enough tea for the both of them. I'm not really thirsty right now." Saya nodded, smiling, and bringing Kabuto a cup of tea to warm him up, and one for Madara who laid on a cot next to the medic. Kabuto drank the tea and smiled, "Stop smiling, there's nothing to smile about." Saya smiled warmly and pulled up the blanket over Kabuto's chest, "Stop staring at Saya!" The Snake hissed at Madara, Saya looking at the snake before pulling it's head into her chest, "What are you doing? Stop! I'm not done with him!"

She hummed gently, stroking the top of his head as she walked to the small kitchen and started cutting something up. When she let him go, the snake gently swayed from side to side to the humming. Saya offered them both bowls of miso soup- to warm them up from the coldness that didn't seem to bother her much. He draped his upper neck across her shoulders, resting his head on the top of her breasts as she made more tea. The Snake calmed down as she hummed, and when she stopped, he was a lot calmer than before. "Do you think you took long enough, Kabuto?" The Snake asked, and Saya lightly tapped the Snake on the head. "No, I want to get this straightened out."

"We were both wounded and I insisted that when we healed for the trip, we came as fast as we could. The carriage only took us so far." Kabuto explained, "Why am I explaining myself to a snake?" The snake hissed unhappily and Saya hummed a little, calming him. "Saya, I'm sorry we didn't come earlier." Saya smiled,

"You're explaining yourself because I expect you to." Kabuto blinked in realization, "I see it's finally sunken in. They beat her against a rock. Chained her to a rock and beat her black and blue. I've helped heal them but they're too deep for my minimal medical abilities. I've only covered them up. Saya." Her skin began to change colors, the medical jutsu fading, and showing the true colors of her skin.

Dark blue and purple hues were painted across her skin, black smudged in between as well as yellows. "This is the true color they've painted her in your neglectful absence." Saya looked away, ashamed, rubbing her arm. He rubbed his muzzle against her cheek and she smiled sadly. Madara finished his tea, standing up and taking Saya's hands abruptly.

"We came to get you, and we're leaving now." Madara said and Orochimaru growled. Saya opened her mouth, before her lips were covered,

"Not a word." Orochimaru growled. "If you haven't noticed, she can't leave. She's chained." Madara looked down, "This Village isn't dumb. These chains drain chakra constantly and in great amounts. I merely touched it for a second and I'm still recovering. They're strongl damage resistant and this one anklet is draining three times as much than the others did, since it's on it's last legs."

"How did you free her last time?" Kabuto asked, and Orochimaru groaned,

"My sword could cut anything. She used her own power to shatter two of them, but at this rate, it's going to be more taxing for her to get rid of this one." Orochimaru said, as Saya sat down, "Both of you, make sure that moron doesn't come back." Madara stood his ground, wanting to stay with Saya more, but Kabuto went out. Saya gripped her chest, groaning, "Don't move, little one, it'll only be more painful." She stopped moving, Madara attempting to help before Orochimaru lashed out at him, sending him out.

She gripped the tree roots and groaned, as he unraveled from around her, before she began vomiting up blood as Kabuto came back in to report the news. "Stop it!' Orochimaru snapped, but she kept vomiting, coughing. In her blood, was a needle filled with a strange fluid. Orochimaru grabbed it and stabbed it into her thigh and she gasped sharply.

"What was that?" Kabuto asked as Saya laid on the snow, rocking her hips gently, moaning softly, as Orochimaru pulled out the syringe.

"A syringe full of my chakra. She should be fine in a few seconds, but it's laced with everything she's ever wanted. I didn't know she had swallowed the last one. Look how she loves it." Saya hungrily and slowly licked her lips, sitting up and hugging herself. The tree bloomed and She grabbed the chain of her shackle and ripped it from the tree. She blushed, panting lightly and hugging herself tighter. "Ohh, she's so happy." She looked as if she was swimming in oceans of ecstasy, but she quickly regained her composure and stood up. "It looks like it's been too long for it to have much of an effect." He wrapped around her again, "Saya, I believe it's time we took our leave." She smiled, rubbing him under his chin. "Mmmm…Do you remember how you got here?" She shook her head in a 'no'.

"I can correctly retrace the route a certain way, but we were caught by a blizzard and wound up here."

"As did I." Orochimaru said. "When I came too I was here, both times, but this igloo is new." Saya walked out and stopped, Madara fighting with a strange man. No. It was Yukamaru. They stopped fighting and he looked over at her.

"Yuki? You got free? I won't let these thugs take you away from me again!" Yukamaru growled defensively, and Madara glared at him.

"Saya, I've grown tired of this boy." Orochimaru hissed, wrapping around her shoulders as she walked over to Yukamaru and drove her hand through his chest. She pulled out his heart, showing it to him, before throwing it to the ground emotionlessly. He fell to the ground, looking at her, as he died. "It seems you've gotten much more accurate." The blizzard dispersed to leave only a straight path to the village. Not far, was the rock they'd chained her to. She went straight to that rock, not caring about Kabuto or Madara. "Hmm. I think I need to test my strength in this body." Orochimau slithered over to the rock, wrapping around it and flexing before it burst into pieces and he landed on the ground. Saya bent down and picked him up, wrapping him loosely around her. "Maybe we should make sure no one can find this village again."

"I think we should just go." Kabuto commented and Orochimaru arched his neck to look at him, as Saya looked around.

"Do you think that she was brought here for nothing?" Orochimaru demanded as she raised her hands, palms towards a high cliff, before throwing them down. The ground shook an dshe braced herself, as snow fell from the mountain summits. The other two watched, as an Avalanche came down like the judgment of the gods, and smothered the village, destroying everything as it pushed all of the houses over a cliff edge that wasn't too far away. The path was clear and Saya walked forward as if nothing had happened. "It's beautiful, Say. Simply beautiful."

Then, Madara and Kabuto heard the first thing she ever uttered. "Mh-hmm." Thought they weren't words, Madara was ecstatic.

"Say something else!" Madara exclaimed, and she jumped, Orochimaru looked at him,

"She'll stick to her vow of silence until she finishes the sentence." Orochimaru hissed moodily, before looking at him, "When your sentence is up, make sure not to speak to that one." She nodded obediently. "What a good girl you are." He praised her and she blushed. That's when Madara realized he probably wasn't the only one gunning for her anymore.
