*Trigger Warning: Contains Gore, and a lot of Feels*
Akiko had trouble counting. How long had it been? A week? Two? She felt a pain in her side. She screamed, maybe for the millionth time. She felt herself gone dry. She wondered if dying was that painful. She could see her chakra being absorbed into the scarred man's hand. Her hands were pierced and she was hung by meathooks. It was also apart of her immense pain. "Are you finally going to talk?" She spit on his face, "Screw you." The man winced, "I'm Rushio Drukere, and you should respect me." Akiko rolled her eyes, and the man smirked. "Kudo, hand me that iron bar. We should teach this girl a lesson."
Akiko's eyes widened as she saw a branding iron. "D-Don't! Please!" Her skin was singed, and Akiko screamed in pain and blood leaked as well as she was being branded, on her collarbone. The burning suddenly felt too much to ignore or tolerate. Rushio smirked, and being the cruel and heartless man he was, he put more pressure on the iron. This felt worse than being stabbed by senbons by Haku. Akiko screamed so much, her voice was hoarse, but she kept on howling. The worse part wasn't over yet. Rushio yanked the branding iron out of her collarbone, and Akiko groaned. "Learned your lesson yet, little girl?" Rushio grinned evilly. Akiko managed a growl with a glare, that sent chills down Rushio's spine. He swung and Akiko winced. Didn't hurt quite as much anymore. "Stay with her Kudo, I've got someone else to take care of." The door slammed behind him. Akiko looked at the R on her collarbone, still fresh.

She heard a scream, from the next room. It was much more childish. Rei. Akiko struggled in her chains, towards the exit. She received a kick to the face from Kudo. She grunted, only to receive a blow to the head. "Do you like torturing kids, Kudo?" she asked, a smirk tugging her lips. Another blow, but to her stomach. She felt her chakra being pulled out. "It's fun," he replied, with a full on psychotic smile. Akiko smirked, "Too be truthful, this hurts only as much as you want it to. So make it hurt, would you, this is getting boring."
Then, Kudo sucker punched her lung. It wasn't obliterated, but it was at least collapsed. Akiko gulped to breathe. Kudo smirked, "Boring now?" Akiko still smirked, "It got interesting." The door opened and Rushio came in, blood on his hands. "Bedtime," he stated. Meaning, "drag the girl to the cell painfully, and drag some more chakra from her." Her hands were unhooked, and she stumbled as soon as she fell to the ground. Kudo grabbed her by her wrist, with was still wounded by whiplashes and cuts by knives senbons, and anything that was close to a razor. They wanted information on the elite shinobi of Konoha, of course, being a solid shinobi from the Leaf, she refused to leak any information. She could rarely see anything, but she could see the metal part of the cage closing.
Sobs were heard, and Akiko had gotten used to them. "Hey, Rei, come to my voice," she whispered. Shuffling was heard, so that meant that she was moving. Akiko felt a nudge on her arm and hugged the blonde child. Rei cried, "I hate them, they're so cruel." Akiko ran a hand through the little girl's hair, "Don't say that."
"But it's true! They torture both me and you! I'm not even a complete Shinobi! I just, I want to go home." Reid's tears kept flowing. Akiko held her close, "I want to go home too, I don't know where that is anymore." Rei looked at her, "You c-could come home with me. Hide-San and Dei-nii almost always argue but Saso-Kun is usually calm. Ka-San is really kind too. Papa says I shouldn't bother her most of the time. Itachi-nii and I are always training. He's the best!"
