Not done for the night.

By the time I reached my room... I decided that the pain inflicted on the ravenous Puppet wasn't NEARLY enough. Grinning wide, I turned on my heel and headed back into the common room where Deena was caring to Puppet whom she had placed on the couch. Effortlessly, I lifted Puppet up and carried her fireman style down into the labs. But Deena caught me by the shoulder, "What do you think you're going to do to her?"

I kicked her without looking at her and she yelped like a small dog. Puppet was motionless and quiet on my shoulder... heh... victory was sweet.

Upon reaching the "Live Victim" lab, I strapped her onto the gurney, only bothering to strap her wrists and ankles since she looked defeated already... not going to be an issue.

Ready to start, I slapped her across the face, she didn't make a sound, but those purple eyes glared at me... with a hatred... heh... such strong hatred... and there was going to be more... much... MUCH more...

"Move an inch, and I'll freeze your heart... your entire body would freeze... and you'd never know... you'd just pray for death..." I bounded back up the stairs and knocked on Kakuzu's door.

The door flung open and the giant glared down at me, "What do you want... pest..."

I tsk-ed him, "You'd think you would know better not to anger me... I do hold your girlfriends life in my hand. Unless... you don't care about her as much as you lead on..."

He began to raise his fist, but lowered it... smart man. "Why have you come to my room Sasori."

"Muuuuuuch better. Follow me." I crooked a finger at him, turned around and advanced towards the stairs to the laboratory.

I had to glance back a few times to make sure he was still following me... he'd have to be a complete moron to disobey at this point. But it didn't hurt to check.

When my foot hit the bottom step, I turned to a chair placed in an empty room. "Sit."

Reluctantly, he sat down in the chair... and I then proceeded to chain his hands and ankles. "Now, get comfortable... you'll be here for awhile." I flipped a light switch, giving light to a room you could see from where we were. And in the room, was Puppet laying on the gurney... heh... let the games begin...

"What is this Sasori?!" Kakuzu snapped.

"Well... since I do plan on letting Puppet live, I want her to feel as tortured as possible until I turn her into an actual puppet." I held her heart out in front of me, and gave it a little squeeze.

"Ungh!" She winced, looking to her right, to see Kakuzu... her eyes grew wide... I'm going to have some fun now aren't I...?

"Kaku-" Her words were cut off by a scream as I squeezed her heart with a little bit more effort... sending spears of pain through every inch of her hell bitten body.

Kakuzu's chains rattled and I looked behind me... he seemed to emanate fury. His multicolored eyes glared at me, and I laughed, "You think this is bad?!" I unsheathed a senbon from my sleeve and stabbed the heart. "I haven't even begun!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Puppet's screams echoed in the room with Kakuzu... he lowered his head... but I tilted it back up, "Each time you look away, I'll speed up the torture process, making it only more invigorating for her." Kakuzu spared me on last glare before laying his eyes back on her girlfriend, who was writhing in pain.

I drove a second senbon into the tender flesh and her back arched, lifting her from the gurney. Then, she screamed. "What a beautiful sound."

[An Hour Later]

After electrocuting the heart, dipping it into acid, and freezing it slightly, there was only one thing I wanted to do before I returned her, broken and maimed, to her room. I doused her heart in gasoline and lit a match... but that's when I got a fantastic idea... I turned to Kakuzu... and held out the match, "Light it on fire."

At first... he just looked at me as if I were joking... he returned his gaze back to Puppet... who was chewing her way throw her bottom lip, trembling, and almost crying... I wanted her physically and emotionally broken before she left this lab.

"You're one sick bastard..." He snapped at me.

"Light it on fire... or I destroy it... right now..." I smiled evilly.

Puppet must've heard what I said, because she turned to us, her eyes starting to bleed black... but the white began to show... showing a pair of tearful eyes looking at Kakuzu.

"Do it." She whispered.

This was too easy, "You heard her..."

He took the match from my hand and raised it... he looked at her... one more time... and then back at me, "You're a monster."

"We're all monsters. I just chose to embrace it... so... are you going to light it...? Or am I going to keep her down here for all eternity... poisoning her, electrocuting her... which would you prefer...?"
