Greetings everyone, apologies for the long period of time without updating. Hopefully I can get a chapter a week or at least a chapter every two weeks if I'm really busy. There is minor forced in here so please don't be too upset. It doesn't get too far thankfully. Try and give it a shot or at least just skim it if you want. As always I hope you enjoy:)

I don't own anything associated with League or anything like that.

Warning Assault Scene. Section will be marked, skip ahead to avoid.

Shen was in isolation. The elders refused to let other ninjas search for her and furthermore, they would not allow him to search for her. He recalled the conversation, his pleas of desperation to save her and their swift refusal. "EYE OF TWILIGHT YOU FORGET YOURSELF. IS IT REASONABLE FOR US TO SACRIFICE SO MANY MEN, SO MUCH TIME TO FIND ONE PERSON WHO IS ALREADY DEAD?" HIs objections were cut down and he was to be punished. Cleansed. The elders noticed his feelings for her. He, the man who was not to have any feelings. The "guard" outside of his room knocked on the door and put some food in front of him. He was in an entirely empty white room with no windows, the only light was the dim candle on the wall. Shen looked up at the guard and nodded his thanks, keeping his face in check while the guard inclined her head respectfully. In his mind, Shen was thinking of a plan to escape. He had only thoughts centered towards one thing - a single person. Akali.

Zed had gone to meditate on his actions. He sat cross legged on the cold stone floor in complete darkness. Taking a deep breath in, he reflected and stamped out each and every single one of his unwanted emotions. His thoughts wandered briefly and he imagined releasing her but he clenched his teeth tightly, and he forced himself to imagine how he was going to break Akali. Ordinary methods wouldn't suffice… She was too strong to fall to such weak forms of persuasion. Smiling to himself, he thought, All the more agony when she finally does break. I can't wait to see that Akali.

Akali couldn't fall asleep. It wasn't that it wasn't dark enough. No, the blindfold took care of that nicely. She just couldn't sleep standing up. She was pretty sure her cheek had stopped bleeding from the rocks, which was good and all, but she was feeling absolutely exhausted and was not in any comfortable position to just drift off. Unfortunately for her, she wasn't tired enough to pass out either.

Zed awoke bright and early and he was going to pester Akali constantly so she would be irritable and restless. Zed slammed the door to her cell open and he greeted Akali mockingly chipper. "Ah morning Akali. Did you sleep well? I even gave you a blindfold so the light wouldn't bother you.". He walked up towards her and flicked her in the forehead. "C'mon wake up already!". Zed was followed in by three other masked ninjas. "I have some new friends for you Akali. Wake up!". Zed ripped the blindfold off of her face, blinding her with the flickering lamplight of the room.

Akali's eyes involuntarily moved towards the sound of the door opening despite not being able to see. Using her ears, she tracked Zed's movement towards her and her eyes followed. Her body was kept still though and the only indication she gave that she was awake was the twitch of her lips when Zed flicked her. Irritated by his actions and grumpy from the lack of sleep, Akali gave Zed and his guests a death glare as her blindfold was pulled off.

Zed just laughed maliciously and the students stood silently behind him. Xor, only second to Zed was staring at Akali rather intensely. His eyes raked up and down her body and it seemed to fall on her breasts. Zed was however oblivious to his and he said "Well, they'll be taking care of you for today. Tomorrow.. That's when we'll have our fun. Later Akali. Try not to get too worn out.".

Akali was tempted to spit on Zed as he laughed but even though she had been drowned multiple times the previous day, she was dehydrated. Perhaps she should have drunk more water when she had the chance. After looking at Zed with contempt, her eyes gave each of his students a scan. She couldn't see too much with the hood covering half of their faces, but the female of the trio caught her attention first with her long hair extending out of her hood. The brown-haired girl was smiling sadistically at her, no doubt enjoying Akali's wrecked state. Without giving her any acknowledgement, Akali looked at the man beside the brunette. He was a big, tough looking guy that appeared a couple years older than herself. Gaze moving to the final man, Akali was disgusted to note the way his head was angled downwards as if he was ogling her body. It made her want to punch him. When Zed announced the three students would be left alone with her, a spike of distrust went through her. Sure, they were probably newbies at torture compared to Zed, but to have all three of them with her at once… Perhaps she could find a way to decapitate them. She said nothing as Zed left.

Zed left to go conduct a training session for his students, especially for the more promising ones. They were having issues with their control over the shadows but they had plenty of energy to spare. Zed nodded at a student that successfully managed to create and control a shadow. Soon. The moment he gets his hand on the artifact, on the box. The world would bow down before him and his disciples.

The three simultaneously pulled their hoods down, revealing their faces. Xor snapped his fingers and Gomarth, the big brute, went to go get a tray of food and a cup of water from outside and he set it down on the tabletop with a loud clank. Xor smiling at her and raking his eyes on her body again, he punched her in the gut and smiled happily saying "behave.". He unlocked the manacles that held her up but her leg was still chained to the wall. They backed off and Aikiko laughed as she slumped to the floor and mockingly said "Why don't you go eat you dog?".

Akali committed their faces to memory and watched as the big guy took orders from the taller man. It appeared he was the one in charge when Zed wasn't around. She watched as the man returned with food and water to fulfil her needs. She could only hope it wasn't poisoned or drugged. Bringing her eyes back to the boss, Akali gave him a look of disgust as his eyes wandered down again. A blunt hit to the gut wiped the disgust away and she let out a few coughs as the pain registered on her face. The moment the manacles on her arms were off, she dropped to the ground and pressed her knees to her chest as she waited for the pain to fade. Being able to finally sit was a relief though; the soreness in her legs and feet were starting to get to her. Swallowing dry, she looked angrily up at the boss of the trio, taking some pleasure from the fact they all took a step back when the manacles had come off. It was a shame they couldn't take off the chain on her leg too. Akali got up slowly and when the pain in her stomach was gone, she moved over to the chair beside the table and sat down. The food didn't look very appetizing, which she didn't mind, but she was concerned about its safety so she just stared at it.

Xor smiled at the rest of them and said "You guys can leave. Come back when it's time for your shift. Aikiko looked at him with disappointment but he waved her off. "Go.". Xor picked up a chair and sat down across from Akali and he waited for her to start eating. He always kept a shadow up just incase he needed to teleport. Propping an arm up on the table and leaning on it, he stared at Akali, looking at her body lustily.

Akali watched as the girl and the brute left the room, her spirits rising as her chances of escape increased with every step they took. When the remaining student sat in front of her, she continued to not touch her food and looked at him. "Can't you find something else to stare at?" she muttered with distaste.

Xor smiled pleasantly, teleporting behind Akali and pushing her down on the table with force. He kept his tone pleasant and said "Sorry. I don't have to listen to a whore like you." He pulled on her hair and slammed her head back against the table. "Eat.". he hissed and teleported away from her just as she lashed out at him.

Akali's eyes widened as the man disappeared from her view. Next thing she knew, her cheek was flat against the tabletop and she glared at the man in her peripherals. Who was he to call her a whore? Fucking perv. When he did it again, she pushed against his hand to right herself up and whipped her arm out behind herself to grab him. Touching and seeing nothing but the air he left behind, Akali turned back around and stared at him. "How do I know it's not poisoned," she said, clearing her throat once to make her voice less hoarse. Man, she really wanted that water but…

He scoffed. "Why wouldn't I just kill you right now?". Smiling at her he stood up, kicked the chair out of the way and dragged the table away from her. He stood in front of her while she stood up and then he lunged at her, switching places with a shadow mid lunge and he appeared behind her again, an arm around her neck pressing into her carotid artery and he pressed down on it tightly, strangling her.

Instantly on alert, Akali shot up from her chair, sending it backwards, and ducked as he lunged at her, preparing to sweep his legs out from underneath him. At his disappearance, she straightened in confusion and hissed when an arm wrapped firmly around her neck. Turning her head to the side to prevent him from crushing her windpipe, she jumped up and dug her heels into the man's shins, placing her whole weight on him. Her shoes slid down slowly but painfully hard as they lost their grip.

Xor gritted his teeth and pushed her to the floor, kicking her in the back hard. She didn't have any time to react and he pulled out his blades, sending a shadow behind her and slashing out with his clone. It stabbed her cleanly in her leg and Xor dashed towards her jumping up and preparing to shift if she attacked him.

Akali let out a grunt when he pushed her down and kicked her. She was about to jump back onto her feet when she saw the shadow clone just in time for it to stab her. A restrained cry slipped out of her mouth and she growled as she tumbled under the man, righting herself up lightning quick behind him and landing a punch between his shoulder blades. Her leg was gushing blood but the adrenaline kept her going.

Xor let out an a sound of surprise but getting his feet underneath him, he launched himself up like a spring and landed a really bad uppercut on Akali. She went down from the intensity of the hit and Xor spat on her, kicking her when she was down. "Filthy whore". he spat out. Picking her up, he lifted her and chained her back on the wall, trailing his hands along her body. Shaking his head, he spat on her face contemptuously and left to go grab the tray and cup of water. He splashed the cup on her face and yelled at her to wake up.

Akali's small victory was short lived when her world turned black. When her vision returned, her jaw hurt like hell, her face was all wet, and everything was blurry. Getting onto her feet, everything cleared and she saw the tall man from before. Moving her arms, she was disheartened to find the manacles back on. Realizing she must have lost that fight from before, she looked at him distrustfully. Since the adrenaline wore off, her leg was burning from the stab wound too.

Xor grabbed a spoonful of the mushy porridge that they served and he shoved it in Akalis mouth, clamping it shut and again, holding her nose. His smile was pleasant at first but then it turned genuinely happy as she squirmed and struggled. She was entirely powerless against him. He loved that. He fed her the entire bowl and finally when she swallowed the last of it, his hands trailed down her neck and he murmured "Despite everything you really are quite pretty aren't you whore?"

Akali was going to say something but the man stuffed a spoonful of the food into her mouth. It was cold and bland and, not to mention, she didn't know if it was safe to eat. Not having much of a choice when the man clamped her mouth and nose, she swallowed reluctantly. Judging by his appearance, he was pleased by the forced obedience but Akali kept eating anyway. At his comment, she brought her knee up and hit him right in the balls, ignoring the pain in her other leg.

Xor wasn't expecting her to hit him and he barely had time to react, his hands going to cover his face but she kneed him right in the balls and he bent over groaning and clutching his stomach. Before she could land another blow, he managed to jump back, landing on his ass a few feet away from Akai. Getting up, he leaned over and snarled at Akali. "You'll regret that.". After waiting a few minutes he recovered and pulled out a few throwing knives. He began lazily throwing it at her, delighting at the frantic movements Akali had to make to avoid it. Then he walked up towards her and punched her right in the earlier wound, digging around in it with his fingers. He made sure to stay on her right side, so that she couldn't land another kick. "Fucking bitch. I'll show you who's in charge.". Pulling his fingers out of her wound, he grabbed a knife and started slashing at Akalis clothes exposing her. Unlike Zed, he kept his gaze locked on her body and anyone could tell that he was getting quite aroused by the sight.

Akali was disappointed that she couldn't land another hit on him, but took pleasure in the sight of him on the ground, hunched over in pain. When it seemed he'd recovered, she was surprised by the throwing knives he produced, dodging each one as well as she could with her restraints on. She didn't like how she was just entertainment to him and she imagined wringing his neck to calm herself down. As he walked closer to her, she kept her eyes on him, ready to kick him if he got too close. But then he stayed to the side so that she couldn't kick him easily, especially with the wound in her leg. An agonizing scream filled the room when the man punched the wound and dug his fingers inside. Her chest was heaving and she shifted all her weight onto her other leg when he backed off. Breathing hard from the lingering pain, she continued to stare angrily at him as he cut her clothes off and didn't fail to notice the growing bulge in his pants.

Xor laughed sadistically as trails of blood and thin cuts appeared on her skin. He hissed at her "Hey. Hit me again and I swear I'll break both your legs.". He punched her good leg just in case and held it down, while with his free hand, he cut away her upper undergarments and exposed her pale breasts. Letting out a low whistle he said "Don't worry whore. I'm sure you'll feel good too.". Leaning forward, he put his mouth on one of her breasts and started biting and sucking on it forcefully, leaving marks on her skin. He delighted in her struggles, dropping the knife and holding her other leg down. This position was perfect and he bit on her harder to make it more painful for her.

Akali looked down to see marks where the blades had gotten too close to her skin and anger bubbled from deeper within her. She met the man's gaze as he threatened her and grunted when he punched her, saying nothing. Cutting the rest of her clothes off made her ball her hands into fists and she seriously wished she could bash the pervert's face in, but she didn't think he'd go back on his word about breaking her legs. As much as it hurt her to think it, it seemed Zed was a better guy than the man in front of her… And Zed was a pretty shitty guy. Akali's arms pulled at her restraints angrily as the man sucked on her breasts and kept shifting her torso around to make it more difficult for him. "Don't fucking touch me," she hissed, gasping when he bit down on her.

Xor stopped sucking to look at her and his eyes glinted with arousal, "I love it when girls struggle. It's all the more fun to break them.". He took his hand off her bad leg and started fondling her breast, while sucking and biting at her other nipple. She let out another gasp when he bit down and he let out a pleasurable moan.

Pure disgust was on her face while she hid her fear. Akali was not fond of the possibility that the man can take it even further than what he was doing already. "No," she protested, gasping again when he bit down on her other breast and pulling even harder against the restraints despite knowing it was futile. Not wanting to see herself being assaulted, she squeezed her eyes shut and tried to control the emotions that overwhelmed her.

Zed had finished overseeing the lesson when he started walking back to Akali's cell, planning to intimidate her some more and try to get the location of the box. Seeing how slowly his disciples were progressing, it reconfirmed his need for the box. I have to break you Akali. Whatever means necessary. He smiled in grim pleasure as he imagined the thought but when he walked into the room, his face fell immediately as he saw Xor's mouth on Akali and his eyes flicked up to Akali's face. He immediately registered the fear amongst the disgust on her face. His face contorted with anger and he yelled, "XOR, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?" Xor shifted his mouth in surprise and the moment he glanced at Zed, he sent a shadow past Zed, trying to run past him. Zed sent a shadow with him and started walking towards Xor. Xor's shadow switched and Zed's shadow stabbed him in the gut. He growled, knowing that it wouldn't kill him but when he saw Akali's face, he stopped and he took off his shirt and placed it on top of her, draping it on her shoulders. His face emotionless, he analyzed her wounds and said gruffly, "Don't you dare attack me.". Unchaining the manacles that bound her wrist, he caught her before she fell to the floor and averted his eyes. "Put this on," he commanded and he walked out of her distance, turning away. A torrent of feelings welled up within him as he recalled Akali's look of anguish. I… I don't know what to think anymore.

Xor was enjoying himself, loving the feel of the whore that was chained. She might have been an assassin but damn was she fine. Then he heard a terrifying voice, one that he could barely recognize because it was so warped by anger and pure fury. Xor felt this intense fear that hit his very core as he saw Zed's face, waves of killing intent rolling off of him. He felt panicked. Trapped. Backing away from Akali, Xor sent a shadow past Zed as Zed charged him. Terrified he swapped places with his shadow, running forward when he felt a blade pierce his back. He yelled in agony but pressed on. The blade didn't cut too deep and he stumbled along the hallways, frantically checking behind him to see if Zed was chasing him. He needed to find Aikiko. She could help him.

Akali flinched at the voice that boomed throughout the room, relief filling her soon after at the sound of the spoken words. Xor… That's his name, she thought, adding it to the list of people she needed to kill excruciatingly slowly. Looking at Zed, she saw with surprise that he was as infuriated as he sounded. She wondered why. After Xor made his escape, Akali looked down at her breasts, now bruised and pulsing with the pain of getting the rough treatment. An incomplete handprint made with her blood was on her left breast. On top of it all, thin trails of blood ran down her torso and her gaze shifted lower to see a steady stream of blood still leaking from her stab wound, pooling at her feet. Must've been because Xor stuck his fucking fingers in them earlier. A pair of booted feet showed up in her line of sight and she looked up tiredly at Zed. "You're not going to do that to me too, are you?" she asked as a joke, worry was laced in her words though and her vision was turning blurry. Akali looked at him gratefully when he draped a shirt on her and the moment the manacles came off her, she fell forward. Thankfully, Zed caught her and she grabbed onto him for support, blushing slightly when all she felt was his shirtless torso. Getting back onto her unsteady feet, she slipped the shirt on before sitting down on spot away from the blood pool. "Thank you," she said quietly, passing out from exhaustion right after.

Zed looked at her lying down on the ground and he leaned forward cautiously taking her pulse. It was indeed slow and that meant she shouldn't have been awake but as a precaution, he handcuffed himself to Akali. Unlocking the chain to her leg, he carried her through the complex to his room, cuffing her to the bed. Working in total darkness, he began cutting at her pant leg, disinfecting the wounds and stitching it back together. He also did so for any wounds on her back, disinfecting any and all cuts from yesterday. Zed was totally impassive while he did this, rage and confusion bubbling within him. Why did he get so angry when he saw Xor doing that? That was a valid torture technique.. One that he had planned to resort to if she remained so stubborn. He let out a soft sigh and flipped her back on her back, calling for a servant to give him another chain. With that, he immobilized Akali's bad leg so she couldn't move it and then he sat at a chair and waited for her to wake.

Akali woke up twelve hours later, feeling much better than when she had first fallen asleep. But when she opened her eyes, she was greeted by nothing but darkness. Confused and disoriented, she tried to push herself up into a sitting position but it seemed one arm was chained to something. Using the other arm, she pushed herself up and winced at the pain in her leg. She moved it a little and heard the jangle of a chain as the pain only increased, meaning that she shouldn't stress it anytime soon. The jangle meant her leg was also chained to what was probably a bed, since she was sitting on something soft and comfortable after all. Sighing, she laid back down on her back and waited for something to happen. She couldn't hope to escape in one piece until her leg was healed.

Zed let out a soft yawn when Akali awoke, having slept on the chair. Realizing what happened with Xor, he felt that he should be the only one to handle matters dealing with Akali. Speaking softly he asked "how are you feeling?" and stood up without a sound, walking towards the door. He quickly lit the torch and put it in the scone, the flickering light being blocked out by Zed's figure.

Akali, upon hearing a yawn, opened her eyes and sat up quickly. When she heard Zed's voice, she relaxed, shoulders slumping visibly from their prior tensed state. "I'm okay," she replied as she rubbed her eye. A torch was lit from the other side of the room, blocked by Zed's body so that she only saw his silhouette. The dim light was enough for her to distinguish that the room she was in was not just any prison or servant's room. Heck, it wasn't a student's room either. "Is this.. your room?" she asked for confirmation. Confused at why he would have brought her to his room of all places, a list of reasons ran through her head before panic struck her. He hadn't done anything to her while she was asleep, did he? She frantically checked herself over, peeking in the shirt he had given her to check for new bruises before looking at her legs and bed for any indication at all that he had assaulted her. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary sans the fact she was missing a pant leg and her wound was patched up, which was nice.

Zed nodded and walked to the table beside his bed and lit the lamp so that the room was lit reasonably well. He had no need of it usually so seeing his room with light felt odd. Looking at her apathetically, he could only recall that look of terror, that look of utter fear on her face and he looked away. He couldn't torture her with that in his mind. Not today at least. Zed walked out of the room without a word and called for a servant to get meals for the two of them.

When Zed left the room, Akali hugged her arms to her chest in an act of vulnerability. The sexual assault had impacted her a lot more than the torture session with Zed. It was shocking how much her reactions differed and if Zed was smart, which he most definitely was, he would use that against her. That was what she feared. Perhaps it was the fact that despite the mental strain caused by Zed's drowning torture technique, she knew he wouldn't let her die until he got what he wanted. And when it came to Xor and his sexual needs, she knew he would go as far as he wanted to fulfil his sick fantasies. She kept thinking to herself, reasoning out why she was affected the way she was. Maybe it was the intimacy of sexual acts and how personal they were that got to her mentally? Even when she had seduction missions to get close enough to kill, she would always finish her job before things escalated beyond her control. Steeling herself, she thought to herself like a mantra that she would not let those actions bother her again. She had to obliterate that weakness, destroy it before anyone could take advantage of it. Closing her eyes, she forced the fear she had felt to fade to nothing. When she opened her eyes again, she was emotionless. Or, at least, that's what she told herself.
