- Pale fingers lingered about as they traced the small little grooves in the bark of a tree. A faint whisper could be heard through the wind, though so quiet one might even question if they had even heard it at all. The lips of a broken girl moved but after some time even the faint whispers seemed to cease. Silence, it seemed to surround the girl's entire world, and yet when words finally broke the still barrier that was her existence, all she wanted was for it to stop. When the cries and fear broke through, there was little Ayano could do to silence them. For a long time now silence had been all that Ayano had- and she hated it. She could not speak to others and existing where she was meant little contact with people even if she could speak with them. The one person she could speak to she quietly wished would go off and get himself killed. Maybe then she could be free, maybe then she wouldn’t flinch at every blue thing in the corner of her eye that moved. He was the reason her life was hell, the reason she was so alone, broken, and unable to use the majority of the abilities... yet she could do nothing about it. The collar he had devised using the same material that his Samehada was made of remained wrapped tightly around the girl’s neck, keeping her from not only being able to use the majority of her abilities, and leaving her with literally almost no chakra, but keeping her from being able to speak when he didn’t want her to as well. Why keep her from speaking? Because the one thing that this man cared for was protecting information, and as far as Kisame had been concerned she knew way too much for her own good. If it hadn't been for this collar though, she was sure Kisame would have cut her tongue out long ago. He had all the say, and she- she couldn't even speak... Quietly cold blue eyes looked up through what light managed to break through the thick leaves of the trees where several small birds sat cuddling and chatting amongst one another. Lightly the leaves rustled as the little birds flew off with one another, and silently she wished that she could do the same, run away to the ocean where she would never have to think about this place ever again. She had been there for so long, it seemed almost like an impossible dream, like nothing she ever did would help her, or at least help her get out alive. It felt like every day was a fight for her life, like everyday she would try to open her eyes from the darkness of night and only find the even darker reality of death. As much as Ayano tried to hope that one day she would simply be set free, some part of her wouldn't let her dream such impossibilities, wouldn't let her wish for the best like that, because it would all be a lie. There was no way in hell she would ever simply be let go. No, especially not with all she knew, all that she had done, and all that he wanted. She was sure that when he no longer had a use for her she would merely be the next one to be set out on a platter and left for Zetsu, hell the possibility of her captor even trying to eat her seemed reasonable. He was a monster anyhow, besides she had all the scars, marks, and even several rather fresh wounds to prove that possibility. Various marks and such things could be found from fights that were never hers, and three crimson slashes down the girl's pale left cheek could be seen rather easily under the light, but the most striking of her wounds had to be a rather large gash around the girl's right shoulder. Though it was wrapped and cleaned when Kisame wasn't looking, it continued to bleed out through the bandages, and painfully ache causing her to wince in pain a little as she closed her seemingly frozen over eyes.
These were just a few of the wounds she had managed to gain over the past week, sure things had been bad before, but never before had he literally bitten her. These wounds might not have even existed if it hadn't been for the weather that week. That week had been the first time in a very long time that it had managed to rain near the Akatsuki hideout, and luckily for Ayano Kisame had left that morning to go to a meeting with the other Akatsuki members. Thankfully though he didn’t take her with him to the meeting, because that meant she actually had time away from him, which was one of the few times now that Ayano had managed to find happiness. Though that happiness didn’t last for long, it was more calm than she had experienced in the course of the past couple months. It had always been her leaving with him and collecting the life force that they demanded of her, but at that moment she had been so taken by the sudden existence of the water around her again that the fact that Kisame could be coming back at any moment didn’t occur to her. It had been morning when he had left that day, and as Ayano lay down in the wet grass the sun had begun to go down. Kisame had always been sure to keep her away from large bodies of water and heavy rain, because even with the collar she wore she could still be deadly around water. Eyes closed she had felt the rain pour down and roll down her arms causing the first smile in a long time. Several moments had seemed to pass, before she opened her eyes, and quickly flinched to her left as Kisame's Samehada sliced into the ground beside where her head had been, the spikes of the huge sword had reached out to cause the three rather deep cuts in her left cheek that now shined in the light as she laid back in the tree that her fingers traced the bark of. That had been the beginning of last week and still the cuts had yet to heal. If that damn collar wasn't on her then she wouldn't have that problem, hell it would have healed within a couple seconds, but she was rarely ever that lucky to have it off. She could still clearly remember the twisted dangerous smile that had been on his face when she opened her eyes, his wet blue hair and almost inhuman eyes. Right after that he had dragged her down to the room that was his, the room with no windows, the room deep beneath the middle of the maze that was the Akatsuki hideout. It was like a dungeon, and being alone in that room with no light except what he provided, with no voice except when speaking to him, and no certainty for survival ever, Ayano was locked away down there all week, some days tortured, and others simply being left alone with him was torture enough. Perhaps it was because it had been raining all week that he had kept her locked away, but perhaps not, perhaps after the first day it had stopped raining and he had just kept her there to watch the pained expression on her face as she had tried to remember the way that rain had felt and make herself small enough that he wouldn't want to attack her. Though yesterday, the day before she had been let out, she had fallen to his game, she had missed the rain, and the light, and being away from him, so badly that she had started screaming at the door from her chained position. Screaming obscenities, screaming about the rain, screaming about the light, screaming about absolutely everything that came to mind because she had lost to his game and lost herself to this fear that was all around her. The fear had been so bad that week that she had been lucky to get thirty minutes of sleep a night, everything seemed to be getting to her, and it didn't help that Kisame always showed up in the worst of moments when she never expected. And like he had shown up when she was in the rain, then when she was screaming dares to him that she never meant, he opened the door and entered with a rather sadistic look pulled across his dark face. At first she had been angry, but when she saw the look on his face the real fear had pulled itself up from the depths of her heart. Taking a step back in the darkness, she had thought that he was to attack her from the front, but in reality what she saw was only a doppelganger of him- and the real him had been behind her just waiting for her to back up into his tormenting arms... and that's exactly what she did. She backed up into the darkness and unknowingly into the arms of the one person in the world she hated more than anything, the one person who could bring out her worst fears, and it had been that moment that she realized that there was no escape- that moment that the collar around her neck felt like it was biting through her flesh when in fact it had been Kisame that had bitten her. The ******** had actually bitten her like a god damn shark! The pain that had come after the bite was far worse than anything he had ever done to her before, and she had been his prisoner, his rag doll that got thrown around and stepped on on a regular basis, her bones crushed, her heart broken, her happiness stolen- for a very long time. She had gone through unimaginable torture at the hands of this monster of a man, no, this monster of a shark, and yet all that torture, all that pain couldn't even compare to that which she had felt when the numerous rows of teeth of the shark had lodged themselves unimaginably deep in her right shoulder.
That had been yesterday, and now the terrible gash in her right shoulder continued to ache and bleed through the gauze. She needed to get down from that tree she was trying to relax in, and go back to her room so that she could wrap it again, but that wasn't a risk she wanted to take. Currently Kisame was at a meeting about some new Akatsuki member, but still Ayano didn't want to take the risk of going back there only to have him injure her again. Meaning that she remained high in the tree with her eyes closed, partially because of the pain, and partially because she was afraid that if she opened them Kisame would be there again. If he really wanted her, Kisame knew where she was, and though she just wanted to run away she knew better, she knew there was no hope in getting away and that the pain could be far worse than what he had shown her so far. Tensing slightly at the sound of someone near her, she silently hoped it wasn't Kisame there to add another injury to the one still bleeding on her shoulder.
