~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sasuke woke up for the second time that day with his body still aching and now his cock and balls stinging from the newly tender flesh thanks to his uncle's coffee. He couldn’t see Madara anywhere but sometime while he was passed out again, someone had cleaned him of his blood and cum for which he was grateful.

The door opened and Madara walked in smiling and with the pale skinned doctor in tow. He was going to enjoy Sasuke’s screaming after this. "How are you doing Sasuke? I thought you might be a little lonely so I brought some company while I work. I know you won't mind.” The older man smiled innocently at his nephew and motioned for the doctor to stand where Sasuke could see him, surely the boy would recognize one of his abductors.

Sasuke looked at the man who stabbed him in the arm with a needle but kept his face expressionless.

Madara patted Sasuke affectionately like a dog and pulled out a small key from a pocket. "He hasn't eaten at all last night or this morning so he shouldn't put up more than a token fight for you Orochimaru. As long as you don’t leave any permanent marks you can do whatever you want with him." Madara uncuffed Sasuke and pocketed the key before turning his back on his new acquisition and the doctor. "Have fun."

Sasuke's arms dropped limply to the bed and he held back a sigh of relief at having the strain taken off. He was sure that nothing good was going to come out of this and he turned as he heard the pale man approach.

Orochimaru looked down at Sasuke and smiled wickedly. Oh he had plans for this one, and all of them involved inflicting as much pain as he could in the shortest amount of time, but where to start?

Sasuke did the same with this man as he did with his uncle, didn't look at him. He knew who the dark haired man was and he had no intention of satisfying any of his desires. What he did to his master was something that could never be forgiven. So he stayed limp and quiet.

The pale doctor looked down at Sasuke and quietly pulled a knife from his picket and looked around for a candle. he was going to make this boy squirm and scream for him wither the little one wanted to or not. "Dear boy this will be much easier on you if you simply stop resisting and give up all your hope at rescue. Things will be much more pleasant when you do."

Sasuke saw the gleam of the knife as Orochimaru held it at his side, not showing it off, but letting the spiky haired raven see that he had it. He had to admit that it did scare him, this man. He knew everything that Naruto went through and would probably have the same things done to him. Sasuke took a deep breath; he'd just have to be strong...

The raven still said nothing but he gave the doctor the dirtiest look he could muster, daring him to bring on whatever he wanted.

Orochimaru stopped looking for a candle after a minute and took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his jacket with a smirk. He never smoked in his entire life; he just loved showing people who was boss with a lit cigarette, especially people who thought they had control over a situation like this. "You think you are in control of what's going to happen to you, don't you boy? Well allow me to change your mind."

With practiced motions the doctor lit a cigarette and brought the burning thing close to one of Sasuke’s nipples, he was going to enjoy making Sasuke scream for mercy in the end!

Sasuke visibly paled at seeing what the man was doing and tried not to look frightened as the burning end of the cigarette came very close to his skin. He could feel the heat from the burning paper and had no desire to feel it on his flesh. But what could he do? He couldn't say no, couldn't yell, that would just excite the man and Sasuke did NOT want to give him any satisfaction. He supposed fighting him off was out of the question, he wasn't that strong and the man had a knife; probably not a good idea.

So the spiky haired raven just turned his head away and closed his eyes in anticipation for the burning pain that he was sure to feel soon. Sasuke told himself that he would try not to make a sound, but knew he'd break that promise to himself once the lighted end of that cigarette hit his skin.

The doctor’s eyes glittered at Sasuke's little show of resistance and ran the lit end in a small circle over the nipple so the boy could feel the heat a few moments longer before bringing the butt down on the tender flesh.

The boy clenched his teeth at the biting pain and a small sound of protest escaped his lips. It was exactly what the doctor wanted to hear and Sasuke hated himself for it, knowing that the pale man would be getting immense satisfaction for it. His breathing quickened as panic seized him, not knowing where the next touch would be considering he wasn't looking. Hi body began to shake, the evil doctor not letting up on his nipple and he finally couldn't take the pain and let out a yelp as his body instinctively tried to move away.

The doctor pulled the burning cigarette away from the boy’s flesh and moved it along Sasuke’s body just close enough for Sasuke to feel where the next burn would be which he was thinking was going to be about an inch below the boys naval "That's right. make all the noise you want, it won’t change a thing. Until your new master gets back your body belongs to me."

Sasuke felt a hand on his chest, holding him in place, and he knew it was over. There was no way he had the strength to get away from the man who looked like he was pretty strong. The boy was already weak from the night before and in too much pain to really have any willpower.

But he wouldn't beg, that's the last thing he would ever do. His panic may have been rising the lower the nasty smelling stick went, but he would never, ever beg for mercy.

He jumped when the hot ash suddenly landed on his stomach. It didn't hurt as badly as the actual lit paper, but it still burned his skin. He couldn't help but let out a few coughs at the horrid smell of the smoke, never liking the smell very much and tried to turn as far away from it as possible so he wouldn't have to have the scent in his nose the entire time.

The pale man kept an eye on Sasuke’s reactions and removed the cigarette and once again moved it lower, near his hairless balls and left the burning butt there long enough to let the boy realize where he was going to be burned next. " I can see why he wanted you. Breaking you will be a sweet challenge. I just wish I could have the pleasure for myself."

Sasuke's eyes widened and he did look this time and saw the torturous flamed end near his smooth balls and he whimpered at the mere thought. The man wouldn’t do it there would he? Of course he would! Sasuke immediately placed his hands over his cock and balls, protecting them in a feeble way. Since his hands weren't bound anymore, he was able to do that much. He sent the man a pleading glance, still not speaking however but just needing the pain to stop.

"You're trying to stop me? Good luck!" The pale man grabbed the offending hand by the wrist and squeezed hard enough to make pain run up the boys arm before eventually throwing the offending limb away from his target.

The spiky haired raven felt tears well up in his eyes and he tried to physically get up to try and escape, desperation now coming with his full panic. He tried to roll away, his movements a bit sluggish but he tried his best.

The doctor put his hand on the boy’s chest again and held him firmly in place so he could put the burning end of the cig exactly where he wanted to put it. "Squirming only makes it worse." With that he tapped the ash from the instrument of Sasuke’s torture and put the fresh end down next to Sasuke’s balls, not close enough to make actual contact but the boy would feel like his sack had been hit.

Sasuke desperately tried to get out from under the Orochimaru’s hand, but he was just too weak and gave a sharp cry as it felt like the very skin of his balls were being burnt away. Tears leaked from his eyes in a steady flow and he sobbed loudly after his initial scream of pain. Not even his master or his brother were in his mind at that point, only pain consumed him and prevented him from even thinking of anything else.

Orochimaru watched the boy writhe weakly in pain and after only five seconds he removed the cigarette from the boy’s tender flesh. Those five seconds of mind shattering pain however could feel like an eternity given how sensitive the area was.

"That's right, struggle, cry, scream. Nothing you do will change what's going to happen to you. The only option available to you is submission. Will you submit?"

Sasuke shook his head rapidly, whether from denial of what was happening or as a protest to Orochimaru's question, he did not know. All he knew was the pain and even though the pale man had taken the butt off of his skin, the area still burned and stung. He knew if he didn't say anything that it would happen again and he really did not want that, but he didn't want to give in either. He was in such a dilemma that he didn't notice what the long haired doctor was doing.

Tears still streamed down his cheeks at the excruciating pain he was enduring and even though he wasn't a religious person, he prayed, prayed to anyone or anything that would listen to help him, help him get out of this and to be with the ones who loved him and would make all the bad things go away.

"You won’t? That's a real shame, I was hoping you'd have realized by now what position you’re in. I guess I’ll have to keep showing you your place." Without warning Orochimaru moved the cigarette to the other side of Sasuke's balls and made contact with the boys skin once more. He was beginning to tire of burning this kid. He wanted to do something that would induce obedience far more quickly than this. and he knew exactly what would work.

Sasuke's pained shriek was most likely heard all throughout the house and those who were standing by to save him, unknown to the boy of course, heard him as well. The small raven's voice was hoarse from crying and screaming and tears and snot were dripping from his eyes and nose. The other side probably hurt more than the first time... With a final effort Sasuke decided to try one thing he hadn't tried; detachment. He'd never really had to use it before but sometimes he thought about it when in one of his panic attacks. He was way beyond panic and now feared for his life, even if no one had any intention of killing him.

Sasuke suddenly went quiet and limp, looking for all intents and purposed like he had passed out. His eyes were still open however and his breathing came in harsh pants, but his expression was glassy and far away. He had accomplished it and while he was still aware of what was going on, it almost felt like he was behind a pane of glass watching himself. Everything was a bit fuzzy around the edges and muffled as well, but he could no longer feel pain; that was the important part.

The doctor seemed satisfied with Sasuke's scream and quietly put the cigarette out and picked up his blade. The little Uchiha's skin was just to soft and pale to leave unkissed with a sharp blade. He looked at the boys' arms, he knew exactly what he was going to give Madara's little nephew and it wouldn't leave any marks once it healed.

He started with a shallow cut in the skin on the fleshy part of the boys arm above the triceps and cut a small swirling design that wouldn't bleed until the boy realized that he was being cut.

Orochimaru suddenly jerked himself out of his entranced state and harshly slapped Sasuke once he realized that the boy had become unresponsive to external stimuli. "Wake up boy I want you to appreciate all of this!"

The smack to the face worked and Sasuke’s whole body jerked back to reality and he choked back a cry at the searing pain that came from his arm. It was almost so acute that it felt like it may not even be there even if the spiky haired raven knew it was. Fresh tears streamed down his eyes and this time he turned pleading eyes toward the doctor and whispered a small ‘please’ before shutting his eyes tight, trying to revert back to where he had been.

He wanted so badly to see his brother, to know that everything would be ok. Naruto was probably worried sick about him and pulling his hair out trying to find him. Itachi… his older brother was probably trying to do his best to comfort the blonde and at the same time in constant turmoil himself. Sasuke knew how much he was loved and he also knew it was because he was so loved by these two men that he was taken and forced to suffer pain that most people in their darkest nightmares would never be able to comprehend.

Orochimaru smiled and continued his work on Sasuke's arms while keeping him fully aware of his surroundings with occasional slaps and pinches on the burned nipple. He wanted the boy to appreciate the pain! "Don’t you dare pass out! I want you to enjoy every second of the cutting."

It was getting harder to resist the urge to give in. Sasuke wanted too so badly but he knew if he just held out a bit longer. But with the pain he was experiencing he doubted he could last much more. A cry escaped as he felt the sting of the blade as it cut into his skin, sharp and acute and his tears finally stopped, not having anymore to give.

It was at that moment when he shut down completely, his vision became blurred and he looked up at his tormentor with pleading eyes once more. "Please, no more.. I'll be good." he pleaded to the man, not really knowing who it was that was hurting him anymore.

The doctor stopped cutting out slivers of Sasuke's skin and looked the boy squarely in the face to see if he was sincere. The boy’s face was a mess from crying, it had taken longer than he'd thought but the boy had finally broken enough to be manageable. "That's a good boy, wasn't that easy? Now we can move on to the next st..."

Orochimaru's words were blotted out by Madara's outraged bellow as he walked in through the door. "I TOLD YOU NO PERMANENT DAMAGE! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING, CARVING HIM UP LIKE THAT??!"

Sasuke jumped at the loud voice and curled up into a ball despite the pain as new tears leaked out of his eyes. He said he would be good, why were they yelling at him? He couldn’t understand, was he not being good enough?

He suddenly crawled off the bed despite his pain and cautiously approached Madara; this man had been nicer than the other so he obviously wanted to be around him more. Keeping his gaze downcast the young raven huddled against Madara’s legs. “Master…:” The word was whispered almost too quietly. “Master is mad at his slave?” he asked as he finally looked up with pleading eyes. “I’ll be good… I promise. I’ll do everything Master says…” The boy lowered his head again. “Master, make the pain go away…” There really was nothing left anymore. Sasuke was lost, lost to his own pain and dark thoughts; officially broken as he sat at his new master’s feet.
