Chapter 9
Shikamaru would lose it. His sanity, his life, his everything; he'll lose it all. He can't hear or see anything; just Ino and the devil. Orpheus laughed as he heard and saw how horrified Shikamaru is.
"Oh? So this..." Orpheus muttered while he grabbed some of Ino's golden locks, "...is really your weakness? I thought they were jut rumors." He laughed
"You're not afraid to be hurt or to death but you're afraid of her? Your weakness is a girl?" He laughed again. Shikamaru growled.
"Let go of her!" He shouted.
"Well," Orpheus continued as if he was not interrupted. "I could not really blame you. Ino Yamaka is a gem; a very lovely diamond." He ecstatically said as he breathed Ino's scent.
"Pervert!" Ino shouted.
Orpheus laughed, "Fiesty are we? I love fiery women! Especially when they are as beautiful as you!"
"I would never give in to you! NEVER!" Ino shouted and spitted on Orpheus face. The man shook in anger as he slapped her cheeks.
"You know why I love fierce women?" he said while grabbing Ino's hips. " That's because I love to see them break!"
"Let go of me!" Ino shouted. She was struggling to get out of Orpheus grasp.
"Bastard! What are you going to do with her?" Shikamaru asked. Orpheus suddenly laughed maliciously.
"I already said I'll start destroying the alliance through the head. And I'll give you a hint how... I'll be hitting two birds with one stone!"
"Two birds with one stone..." Shikamaru murmurred as he think fast, "Two birds with one..." he gasped.
"BASTARD! LET GO OF HER! LET GO OF HER!" He screamed when he realized what the guy meant. He furiously tried to free his self. Orpheus laughed.
"I'm afraid I can't Nara. I kinda like your woman so I will personally break her." Shikamaru growled.
"BREAK HER? BREAK HER? I'LL CRUSH YOUR BONES ONCE I GET OUT OF THIS BINDS!" Shikamaru shouted.
"You're making me laugh, Nara. I never thought Nara Shikamaru has this great sense of humor." Orpheus said laughing. His two cronies were laughing with him.
"That's not impossible! Shikamaru can kill you with his brains! That's why you're scared of him! You're scared of them! You guys are just a bunch of cowards!" Ino shouted. Again, Orpheus slapped her.
"Don't hurt her!" Shikamaru shouted but Orpheus hand had touched Ino's cheeks already.
"Shut up, you dirty whore! No one's asking for your opinion!" Orpheus said through his gritted teeth. "Or maybe that pretty little head of yours just couldn't get it. You are at my mercy! All of you are in my mercy!"
"Please... don't... don't touch her... please..." Shikamaru pleaded. If he was not binded, he would surely fall down to his knees and beg Orpheus to free Ino. "Let her go. You want me, right? Here I am! Hurt me, kill me, just don't harm Ino..."
Orpheus laughed, "I'm afraid I can't. She is your weakness. If I break her, I am breaking you. And I am planning on breaking you in a much more painful way than death!" He slapped Ino again.
"Please..." Shikamaru begged again. He didn't notice it but he was crying.
"Shikamaru!" Ino called. "Do not let them see you cry! Don't give them that satisfaction!" Another slap.
"Don't hurt her... please... I am begging you..."
"Isn't it more painful... to see your loved-ones suffer?" And Orpheus grabbed Ino's hair and pointed a kunai to her neck.
"NO!" Shikamaru shouted as Orpheus deepen the pointed object to Ino's neck and drops of blood stream down. Orpheus laughed.
"Yes... it's painful... especially when you can do nothing but watch them. That was what you did to us, now it's your time to suffer!"
Miserable and desperate pleads were yelled by Shikamaru when Orpheus mercilessly stabbed Ino again and again to her different parts; missing only an inch from her vital organs. Ino was then thrown to the ground like a piece of crap after Orpheus' wild action.
"DAMN YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!" Shikamaru chanted repeatedly. Orpheus inched closer to Ino and Shikamaru wildly willed himself out of bounds but was unsuccessful.
Orpheus called one of the cronies, who were enjoying the show. He gestured him to do something. Orpheus' ally then grabbed a bucket of water and threw it to Sakura. The other one then freed her when she woke up from the cold water but immidiately pointed a sword to her so she won't struggle. They pushed her towards pushed her down to stoop low to Ino. Sakura burst crying when she saw her best friend's state.
"Heal her." Orpheus commanded.
"What did you do to her?" Sakura asked. She was answered with a kick to her back. Shikamaru could hear Naruto's loud cursings and Sasuke's dark mutterings. But he was too focused with Ino to mind anything.
"Please... Sakura... heal her... please..." he begged. Sakura looked at him before proceeding to healing Ino. When Orpheus saw the stabs were gone, he pushed Sakura to the cronies again.
Sakura screamed and Shikamaru wished he was blind when they saw what happened next. Orpheus punched Ino again and again and stabbed her again until the blond lost conciousness.
"Bastard!" Shikamaru said, as he shook his self furiously again to free his self.
Orpheus pushed Sakura back to Ino and asked her to heal the blond again.
"No... you'll hurt her again..." Sakura then recieved a punch and Orpheus grabbed her face.
"Listen here pinkie... heal her or I'll kill both of you." Sakura did as she was told. And once again, after Ino was healed, Orpheus abused her again and again and again and again.
Shikamaru didn't how he did it but he got out fron his binds. He charge fast to Orpheus again and successfully pushed him down. He then grabbed Ino before the blond fall unconcious again to the floor.
"So, you're still too strong, eh, Nara?" Orpheus asked as he watched Shikamaru gently tapping Ino awake. Shikamaru suddenly felt his chakra was being absorbed. Much like before he passed out and woke up to the wretched place.
"No..." Shikamaru heard. It was soft, pleading and weak sounding but it made Shikamaru's heart swell. "Please don't kill him..."
Shikamaru heard Orpheus laugh, "Protecting each other, eh? How sweet..." then Shikamaru something sharp stabbed his back.
"Please... don't kill him... I'm begginh you. I'll do anything you want... just don't kill him..."
"But that's what I have always wanted to do... to kill each member of the alliance."
"Take me... take me instead..."
"But I want you... so I won't kill you until I get bored of you..."
"Then just take me...just don't hurt him... please... don't... I am begging you..."
"What's in for me if I agree with your deal?"
"No... Ino... don't..." Shikamaru weakly begged.
"I... I won't budge... I won't try to run away. I'll come with you wherever you go... you can do anything to me and I won't fight back. Just don't hurt him..."
"Honey... I can do that even without the deal." Orpheus said. Shikamaru, even in his weak state, could hear Ino muffling her cries.
"I'll come with you... without a fight wherever you go even after... even after everything is over... I'll be your slave, I'll be your property. I will be yours forever."
Shikamaru heard loud protests, wailings, and his own soft objection. He heard Orpheus' loud laugh and felt something was lifting some heavy burden. He fell to the floor and saw Ino was being dragged by Orpheus away from him. He crawler to them. He crawled with all his might to reach and tug Ino's leg.
"Shikamaru..." Ino called as she looked teary-eyed to the shadow-nin.
Orpheus kicked Shikamaru but he did not let go. "Ino... don't... please..."
"Looks like someone wants to die..."Orpheus said. "Let go of my property, Nara!" Again, he kicked Shikamaru but the shadow-user still didn't let go.
"Don't... I'll... I'll talk to him... and I promise he will never be a threat again. Please... just let me talk to him."
"Just a few minutes, understand?" Orpheus said as he walked a little further away to give the two some privacy. Afterall, he was still rejoicing to the fact that he can make the mastermind to suffer worse than death.
"Shikamaru..." Ino called as she squated to face Shikamaru.
"Ino... don't do this please." Shikamaru begged. Ino smiled, the smile she use when she is sad but do not want others to worry of her; that smile, that smile Shikamaru hates. He hates it, loathes it even because when Ino flash that smile, it's usually a bad omen.
