Reiko's POV

I woke up some time later. By instinct I tried to sit up but I realized I was again tied to a hospital bed.

I looked around expecting it to be the same room as before, but it wasnt. I sat in total silence. The room was a pale grey and looked like an infirmary.

It had white cabinets and pale wood counters. The counters were full of jars containing things ranging from popsicle sticks to needles.

I looked down at myself. I had no ivs and I was still in my original clothes from when I woke up. I threw my head back onto the pillow and sighed loudly.

None of this is my fault, why am I being treated like an animal. And that's where my thinking started. I'm not being treated like a human being.

I'm being asked questions where my answer doesn't matter because they are already against me. I'm being tied down about to be tortured again, but this time by kakuzu. I vividly remember itachi saying that.

The lists can go on, but suddenly the door on the opposite side of the room opened. It revealed, to my demise, kakuzu followed by Obito and Pein.

They walked over to my bed and before I could ask anything kakuzu grabbed my chin and forced my head up. My neck felt like it was going to rip by the sheer force of the pull.

"Itachi recommended that Kakuzu examine you physically" Pein calmly said as I watched, out of the corner of my eye, kakuzu get a sharp scalpel.

"What exactly are you planning?" I asked expecting an answer. I recieved none, but a sharp pain on my throat.

I held in my screams as i felt the cold Steel slide across my neck drawing blood. "Why is that necessary?" Obito had finally spoke up, but in his tobi voice. Kakuzu was obviously confused on why 'Tobi' was there but he didn't raise any questions.

"The slice will make her less likely to move her head" I watched as he reached over for a small tube and felt as he slid it across the cut. He placed it on the side table and I saw it was filled slightly with blood.

I closed my eyes not wanting to see what he would do next but that didn't help much as I could feel exactly what he did.

I felt the slice poked repeatedly then something being dragged through the openings. He was stitching up his slice.

Through it all i kept my screams within me and only squirmed here and there. He finally finished and I felt the pain of the cut everytime I looked up or turned my head too much to the side.

"I've taken a blood sample from the slice, it had a double purpose" kakuzu said probably to assure Pein and tobi. "But I need to examine her throughly."

He reached over and cupped my face, then he blared a bright light into my eye. He switched between both eyes but was more focused with my left.

"I need to test the sample of blood and examine her eye closer." Kakuzu removed himself from me and took the sample of blood.

That's it? That's why he sliced my throat? I could have kept still if he asked!

But that wasn't the end of it. Kakuzu came back in and untied me from the bed. I slowly rose from the bed, being extra careful because of my throat. But It was a waste.

As soon as I stood kakuzu's black strings, as I like to call them, wrapped themselves around my neck and picked me off the floor. I felt the wound slowly open and my oxygen levels drop.

He held me like that as he walked out the infirmary to a door down the hallway. By the time we got there I was almost unconscious. But was fast awaken when he threw me across the room and I collided with the wall.

"I'll try to get Intel out of her before the tests come back" Kakuzu walked out of the room, and i guess back to the infirmary. I was scared and I couldn't hide it.

Some people in times like this scream for mom or God, but I went a different route. "Obito help me please!" I started screaming his name while ignoring the scorching pain coming from my neck.

He appeared in the doorway and I was met with his mask. "Bear with it. Besides you can fend for yourself."

He retorted the words he told me the day he left and it felt like a katana threw my heart. How could he be so careless, so heartless?

I knew at that moment he truly didn't care, It was a moment lost in time. I wanted to cry but held it in, and all i could muster at the moment was a glare.

I couldnt see his face and didn't know his reaction, but at that moment I could care less.

Kakuzu returned and shut the door behind him and stood towering above me. I wanted him to leave me alone, but knew that wasnt going to happen anytime soon.

I couldnt bargain with him, he had recieved a direct order from Pein. I stood up trying to at least take a stand and fight back, but my body was weak.

I fell back and relied on the wall to keep me standing. He took a couple of steps towards me and reached out his hand. At first I was confused, but as soon as his hand shot towards me, I knew he had started.

I dodged, but I couldn't keep it up for long. He soon read my movements and caught me. I was dragged towards me as he squeezed my neck. I gasped for air and at the same time my wound had completely opened.

Itachi's torture had worse pain but was temporary, but kakuzu's wasnt. His pain I knew was going to be permanent. Itachi left no scars but major pain.

Kakuzu leaves minor pain but major scars. I looked him in the eyes trying to see what he was thinking but I was thrown to the ground.

I knew this was going to take awhile. He needed Intel that I didn't have. That I have no record of having in the first place.

I can't make anything up, he'll figure it out. I can't tell him the truth because, well, I don't know it.

I felt him pick me up and he brought me to his face. "Tell me what you know."

I coughed and smiled slightly. "I would if I knew anything" he didnt like my smile, he retaliated by throwing me against the wall once again.

I coughed up blood and let my body fall to the floor. I wanted to lay there, on the cold stone floor for at least a minute, but that too wasn't going to happen.

Kakuzu grabbed my ankle and dragged me towards him. I closed my eyes wanting all this to end.
