his time complete silence would be the answer. The girl had yelled in pain when dropped to the floor, but after that her tear filled eyes just looked at them scared. Two large doe eyed oculi that just made Gosei melt. All the more reason why he wanted her bent to his will. Something he could not fully accomplish until he had the seal to neutralize the potential danger the girl posed. Granted she was in no state to fight, even if not tied, she was still a shinobi. This was a threat that needed countering.

The silent treatment was a new phase apparently. The girl had not even attempted to kick him away when he had used the rope on her ankles. Was she taking the small span of time it would take him to tie her ankles together and then to the weight as a small rest period? Her breathing however revealed that she was trying to stay calm. When he started to hoist the rope again he had expected begging, but none came. Maybe because she didn’t like the one chip she had to bargain with?

When she was hoisted up however the cries of pain resumed, bringing a smile to the corner of Gosei’s mouth. Testing the tension on the rope the Godaime would conclude that this thing would hold the weight easily for a longer period of time. His question was met with an unexpected answer. A sigh would escape Gosei’s lips. This needed correcting. Inconveniently tugging the rope Gosei would move to the wall, tying it to a hook there with a slipknot. The girl would come not loose in this way, but if push came to shove Gosei would be able to release the knot at once with a single pull on the free end of rope.

Returning to the girl he would raise his hand, trailing it across the flat stomach of his prisoner. ”You disappoint me. Very much. You punishment will be half an hour like this for speaking to me in such a manner. And you will be quiet.” From the rack he would take the gag again, shoving it behind the girls teeth and buckling it behind her head, with or without a little struggle, If she resisted he would simply pinch her nose again. He would grab the girls chin, forcing her to look around the room. ”Look at all these devices. I barely got started on you. Now this can go hard or easy. I cannot take those manacles off you until you take that seal.” Taking out his reference book he would sit down nearby, reading.

This would last for what seemed to be ages. In reality however Gosei would let the girl suffer for exactly half an hour. All this time the rope would remain tight, keeping you suspended. It seemed that these knots were quite good. Closing his book suddenly he would look up to the girl. ”Just nod or shake, will you cooperate on the seal?”

Again she tried to turn away from the gag, but it was futile and the woman was silenced besides some muffled protests and pained groans. Reluctantly she looked around at the countless other torture devices, soon clenching her eyes shut simply because she didn’t want to see it. The implications made her visibly shudder, Cedany’s panic beginning to grow once more. She tried to remain quiet and resolute in her defiance of letting him put whatever the seal was on her, but as the time passed she couldn’t pull against the weight anymore to keep the strain off her shoulders directly.

Damn near choking on a sob, it felt like her arms were about to be ripped off. The longer she hung there, the heavier it felt as well. After a while Cedany was honestly surprised that her flesh and bone hadn’t torn apart yet, because it certainly felt far beyond that point. Again tears streamed down her face as muffled, unintelligible apologies tried to make themselves heard after about twenty minutes. Especially as she looked up and around again, a large part of her knowing that she wouldn’t survive enduring increasingly severe tortures- especially since she knew she couldn’t stop him and that no one was coming for her. She’d just be holding on stubbornly until she snapped.

Cedany refused to look up at Gosei when he finally spoke again after what felt like hours, bowing her head before hesitantly nodding. The kunoichi wasn’t built to sustain this sort of torture, she felt like she was grasping at straws as she tried to hold onto her sanity. The genin was scared and while she did have flares of rebellion, ultimately she wanted to spare herself the unbearable pain. She couldn’t save herself and neither could anyone else, besides the very man inflicting it. So she played into his twisted hand, thinking she was choosing the lesser of two evils.

hen forced to look around the room the girl shut her eyes. That did not matter, he had planted the words into her mind anyway. That would do, all he needed to do was to plant the idea in her head that he would not stop any time soon. For quite a while the girl pulled herself into a pose that would limit the strain on her shoulders. She sobbed when the full weight descended on her joints, increasing in frequency as the torture continued.

She started to cry after about twenty minutes and a lot of muffled speech ensued. Probably she would be trying to say sweet things in order to make him stop his torture. Gosei did not reply, nor did he even acknowledge that she was talking to him, this should help to enforce her feeling of helplessness at his hands. Her eyes told the entire story. She was desperate, but not broken yet. Not to the point where she would obey his every whim, just because she didn’t know any better.

Third time’s the charm. She didn’t look him in the eye, looking down obediently and nodding half heartedly. A smile formed around his lips, this was a major breakthrough. Finally he would be able to do new positions with the girl without the fear of getting a deadly violent reaction. He didn’t letter her down, not yet, but there would be a tiny concession, one that she deserved. Crouching down he would assault the rope threaded through the weight with his deft fingers, undoing the knots. A second later the weight would drop from her feet, severely reducing her pain, but not completely omitting it.

From the cabinet Gosei would procure a brush and ink. He kept them there together with paper for making ‘contracts’. Dipping the brush in the ink he would look his favourite spot for this, which he found in the left shoulder of the girl. Easy to cover, but she would have to see it every morning Holding the girl in place with his left hand he would swiftly draw a circle on her left shoulder, before with a single stroke drawing a lightning bolt passing through the circle. Forming a few seals he would send his chakra into the ink, making it stick there forever, adding a little extra chakra for alerts should the seal activate beyond his sight. Forming new handseals he would place his hand this time on the girl’s forehead. Focussing his will into her head he would inscribe the back of her mind with four directives.

This concluded the ritual. ”Very good, you’re a cute girl.” Gosei spoke, trailing his fingers past his captive’s side. He would place a short kiss on her stomach, the closest body part to his head. Moving to the wall he would undo his slipknot with a tug on the free end of rope. Then he would move back until he stood, next to the girl, before gently staring to lower her body. When her toes touched the ground he would wrap his arms around her knees and waist, slowly laying her on the ground.

More knots had to be undone. First the ones around her ankles. Throwing the rope aside he would then focus on the tight bundles that he had accumulated around her wrists. A new set of handseals would be formed. This time his ring started to glow. Pressing it onto the zip-tie that connected her ankles he would dissolve the seal there. First something else, he would push the girl into an upright sitting stance. With a key from his pocket he would open the cuff on the girls left wrist, bring her arms in front of her and lock the manacles again around both wrists. Then, finally off came the zip tie, finally allowing the young woman to sit comfortably. Placing his hands on her shoulders he would start to rub, using his knowledge of the acupuncture points there to repair some of the damage the last half hour had done. It would feel oddly soothing too. Finally he would remove another piece of bondage. The gag. With the ball in her mouth her swallowing had been inhibited, thus, she would have drooled a lot. This meant a large loss of fluid. ”You have been a good slave, do you want some water to drink?”

Gosei:

The Directive Seal
Rank: A
Type: Harmful
History:
This seal has had a long and tiring history. It was developed long ago before many of the smaller ninja villages were established. It has been lost as to which village began the practice of using this seal, but many believe its origin to be in the land of thunder. It is known however that it was developed as a tool for anbu wolves, to assist them in areas dealing with the time after an interrogation.

The purpose of his creation is to make a type of work release program, wherein the convicted felon is allowed to roam free, do work for the village or place he is assigned, and not waste resources watching them. They will be monitored by their own conscience, though with a bit of persuasion added onto it. This plan will not only change criminals and murderers alike into valuable resources for tasks, but ones that further resources don’t have to be wasted on.

For many years this technique has been used, and over the course of time people have brought its knowledge to other places, whether that be through knowing it and passing on the teachings, or having it, and finding a loophole in ones programming and letting others derive its abilities from study. It is truly a tool to help the world root out malcontents, and those of a questionable nature.

Appearance:
The seal takes on the appearance of a lightning bolt passing through a ring in all of its stages. The only differences between the inactive and the active stage are that the ring in the active stage seems to expand, as if little bolts of lightning are shooting off of it, in an animated little scene. The user’s appearance may change slightly in the active stage as well. While active the electrical shock being administered to the recipient will possibly make their eyes glow, and maybe burn their skin slightly.

Effect:
In the main and dormant stage there is zero effect other then allowing for directives to be implemented into the bearer via the Directive Creation technique. These directives, when gone against by the seal bearer activate the seal and force it to go into stage 1

Stage 1 of the seal is the one with an actual effect. When a directive is breached in stage 0, the seal will activate, and produce its debilitating effect. It will absorb large amounts of chakra from the bearer’s body, converting it to electrical energy thus shocking the opponent to unconsciousness, or obedience once more. This effect and its stipulations are explained more within the description section.

Description:
The dormant stage of the seal, s nothing more then an ordinary tattoo, placed on the recipients body in ink. Once this seal is placed, it allows for a connection between the user and the bearer that will be accessible through the Directive Creation technique. A directive is basically a set rule that the bearer is not allowed to break. The maximum amount of directives per seal bearer is four. These directives are placed in the back of the opponents mind, almost like a dark patch. The bearer will know that something is there, but based on whether or not the creator wishes them to know, they may not know what the specifics of the directives are. Whether or not the directives are known to the bearer of the seal, it matters not. Once the seal and directives are in place, if the bearer should go against one of those directives, the stage 1 version of the seal will activate. There is no other way to activate it.

Once stage one activates, the seal will begin to absorb large amounts of chakra from the bearer. Because of this energy absorption, no technique equal to or higher then your class level may be used (ex. a B rank ninja cant use any technique above C rank). As this energy is absorbed, it will be converted by the seal into a type of neural impulse. This impulse will cause a debilitating surge to the brains synapses, causing the loss of all motor functions, and an extremely powerful headache. This effect will last until the bearer either stops violating his directives or until they are out of chakra. The bearer will run out of chakra within 2 posts of activation, causing unconsciousness. If they decide to continue on following their directives, they will be spared the pain any further, and will be allowed to continue as normal, but as soon as the directives are breached again, they will be subjected to its effects once more. It is in all reality a type of shock collar. Once someone moves outside its parameters, it delivers negative reinforcement to create obedience.

Placement Requirements:
Must know the placement Technique, Must know the technique Directive Creation. User must have the Raiton release to place this. The seal can be placed on anyone within limits of the placement technique, but to create the directives under which it activates, the seal recipient must be willing to accept them at the time of creation. Must get the OOC permission of Kinz to learn.

Seal Jutsus

Directive Seal Placement [10]
Rank: C
Skill: Passive
Effect: The user uses their knowledge gained by studying the seal itself, and then uses it to place the seal upon the recipient.
Special: handseals, after drawing the tattoo on the bearers body
Drawback: None, but the directives need to be put into place before any effects of the seal can be seen.
Description: The user takes their knowledge of the seal, and then use that to place the tattoo upon someone else with a combination of ink and chakra.
Limit: Must have knowledge of the directive seal, must learn the process from either Rowidren or someone he’s taught.

Seal Alert [10]
Rank: C
Skill: Passive
Effect: Alerts the creator of the directives in a bearers seal, of either seal activation, or directive tampering, and the general location (approximate country) in which it is occurring.
Special: an extra handseal during seal placement and directive creation.
Drawback: To use this, the creator must have added an extra handseal during the seals creation so that the alert will trigger. Meaning if it is unknown at creation of the seal, it can never be implemented.
Description: Through creating a type of mental alert system, as soon as the seal activates a signal is sent to the creators brain. It is like a whole bunch of red alerts going off. It’s impossible to pin point the area that the alert is coming from, but you can gain a general direction and distance (within 2000 meters). From there the user would have to track the bearer to find him further. The alert doesn’t debilitate the user in any way.
Limit: Must know the placement technique, and the directive creation technique.

Directive Creation [50]
Rank: B
Skill: Universal Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates the directives within the back of the bearers mind. Giving them the guidelines for obedience.
Special: Handseals, and then hold your hand to the recipients forehand.
Drawback: These are very finicky. The wording needs to be just so, or else loopholes will be present. Directives may only be one sentence long at most, and one bearer may have a maximum of 4 directives. The recipient must be willing to accept the first set of directives, afterwards their directive may be edited and changed with the various techniques without consent as long as the limitations on the deletion technique and creation technique are followed. There are ways to remove the directives, with certain mental techniques, but the bearer has an ingrained directive not to remove them, Meaning someone else would have to perform the technique.
Description: After the placement of the seal upon the recipient, the user must make a mental note in the back of their brains. By keeping hand contact with the recipient’s forehead, the user will implant at maximum 4 directives that are to be followed by the bearer of the seal. Should they be broken, the seal activates and the bearer is subject to all the adverse effects. The directives may only be simple commands such as “uphold the law”, “Don’t murder”, or “Protect the innocent”. Many directives are vague enough for loopholes, so the user needs to choose them carefully. Many users tend to hide the directives particulars from the bearer, so that they cant work out a loophole mentally for themselves. Many Yamanaka, and other mental clans have been known to disable these kind of mental suggestions with various amnesia causing techniques, but due to an automatic fifth directive, are unable to perform such a feet upon themselves.
Limit: Must know of the directive seal, and the placement technique.

Lock seal opening. [10]
Rank: D-ranked
Skill: Fuujinjutsu
Effect: The user opens the seal so that whatever it was that was locked can be opened.
Special: “Handseals” and the correct key.
Drawback: Only works if the user uses the key that corresponds with the seal the user wishes to open.
Description: The user forms handseals and then channels his chakra into the key. The image of the seal on the key will light up in a color that differs from user to user. The user presses the key on the lock seal and applies a bit of chakra, this will cause the lock seal and the key to nullify each other, and both seals will disappear.
Limit:Must know ‘Lock seal placement’

The exact directives will remain unknown to you. I have picked 4. I have PM’ed them to Isley as my witness.

A sigh of relief escaped the genin as the weight was untied, feeling a lot lighter and still sore but not unbearably so. Cedany wasn’t able to relax much though, not with the strain that lingered and the fact that this seal, whatever it was, scared the hell out of her. Its very idea was unsettling alone, then to actually be agreeing- she knew she’d regret this, but she figured it was better than being tortured for hours on end. She couldn’t even bring herself to watch him draw the seal on her, instead turning away as she slammed her eyes shut in shame.

The sensation was strange as his hand touched her forehead, but still she was unable to figure out what was being done to her or what the rules were that Gosei embedded within her very mind. Her teeth clenched around the gag when she heard that compliment, squirming a little as his fingers danced across her flesh and his lips briefly touched her stomach. But with how much struggling hurt her aching body, it didn’t last long. Her feet and hands were likely discolored from the ropes having pulled so tight on them thanks to the lack of oxygen, bruises already forming as well where the rope had pulled on her directly.

Cedany didn’t really move as she was lowered down, a lot of the fight having been sapped out of her for now because of how much everything hurt. She probably wouldn’t have been able to support her own weight on her legs if given the option at the moment, limbs feeling like rubber after the weight stretched them out for so long. Instinctually she tried to wrench her hand away from him as one of the manacles was unlocked so she could form some seals, but unsurprisingly she wasn’t strong enough- especially in this worn out state. The brunette was surprised by the new position of her hands and her legs being freed, not having expected it… Whatever that seal was, it was clear he was confident in its abilities.

Without even noticing it she relaxed slightly into his touch, her body craving some sort of comfort and not caring who it came from. Once the gag was removed she brought her trembling arms up and wiped the mess of tears and drool from her face with the backs of her hands, not answering him for a few seconds as she contemplated how her situation had changed. Oh how tempting it was to just attack him immediately, but she resisted the urge, figuring he’d expect it and knowing that she wasn’t in any state to actually do damage. Still she couldn’t bring herself to speak, merely nodding her head at the question as she turned away from him and gingerly rubbed what she could reach of where the zipties had dug painfully into her ankles.

inally he had her under the control he wanted. Now all that was left to do was bend her mind to his will. She had still squirmed when he had touched her other than opening herself for him to do as he want. It was time to show her that being touched and used by Gosei was a boon for it meant that there would be no pain. Typical classical conditioning. When he repositioned her manacles the girl tried to resist and although completely futile it was resistance. ”Once I am done with healing you, you will be punished for that.” he said to her, making it clear that he was referring to her resistance as he clicked the cuffs shut. Also it somewhat clarified the cycle in which she had been caught now. One of torture and humiliation alternated with healing to sustain the cycle. Of sleeping tied up in a cell and waking up to a breakfast of porridge. At least until she would start to please the Kazeraikou, he had promised to treat her better then.

When massaged she would relax a bit and take time to clean her face up a bit. Gosei would channel chakra into his hands, making them glow with an eerie blue light. Where he touched the pain would go away as he somewhat healed the damage he had done. After moving them around her shoulders he would trail his hands along her arms, reaching her wrists and pulling them closer, forcing the girl to lean against him. His chakra would seep into her skin, healing the bruises and mending the pain left behind by the tight ropes. He could now clearly observe the damage the ropes had done. Even the texture of the ropes was pressed into the girls skin, not just the path they followed on her skin. This meant that with a rougher woven rope he could inflict more pain on a tied prisoner than a finely woven rope. This was good to know for future tie up sessions with the girl.

Letting go of her wrists he would take one of the ropes that had been wound around her body a while ago. Wrapping one end around the girls neck he would make a loop short enough not to be pulled off over her head, tied with a knot that would not slip, short enough around her neck so she could feel it around her throat but loose enough not to inhibit breathing. Not easy to do as tying the knot would shorten the rope, so Gosei had to find that sweet spot where tying the thing off would leave the loop at a perfect tightness. The other end of the loop would be tied to the leg of the rack, technically an immovable object. So short that the girl would not be able to move away further than twenty centimetres. Around the leg of the table he would tie the most intricate knot he could form. She could undo it with some work if she tried, but it would take quite a while.

Grabbing the bucket he had used to clean her earlier Gosei would dunk that into the basin. This was the first time since she was captured that Cedany would come into contact with water that was not being flung over her or in which she would be drowned. Instead he would place the bucket in front of her so she could drink from it. Either she would have to lift the object to her head, or use her hands to bring the water to her mouth, but she did have something to drink. ”So slave, what is your name.”

Gosei:

Healing Hands (Light) [20]
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A Healer gains the ability to heal Light Wounds within an amount of time.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: When laying the hand upon a living creature, the user channels positive energy that cures Light wounds within the amount of time performing a "C" Rank technique in handseals. While curing Light wounds this technique brings higher wound levels down by 1 step. Since undead are powered by negative energy, this Jutsu deals damage to them instead of curing their wounds.
Limit: Must be a Medical Doctor. Must know Healing Hands (Minor).

[Cedany]

Visibly the girl flinched when Gosei claimed that she’d be punished, eyes a little wide as she looked up at him for a moment. “M… Master, I’m sorry,” she apologized, voice wavering as tears stung the corners of her eyes and she dropped her gaze again. Every time she used that title she could feel the shame, but forced herself nonetheless since she didn’t want to be punished for a weak, failed resistance. Cedany was slowly coming to terms with the fact that she was frustratingly powerless against this man, Gosei making her feel so damn weak despite all of her training.

Cedany didn’t move as he healed her, welcoming the lessened pain. Unfortunately it seemed as if he had no interest in healing the brand on her leg though, the flesh still stinging horribly. As if wanting to appease the older one, she didn’t struggle this time as the rope was fastened around her neck- though that was majorly because she feared him choking her with it as well. The brunette reached up to pull on the rope lightly when he finished, testing its strength. She let go when it didn’t budge, instead reaching down to cup some water in her hand. But when she realized how little she was able to retrieve, she opted for grabbing the bucket and bringing it up so she could dip her head into it instead to drink down larger gulps.

It wasn’t until after she finished drinking that she answered him, setting the bucket down and leaning back against the rack’s leg. “Cedany… Cedany Abel,” she muttered quietly, figuring there wasn’t a whole lot of harm in telling Gosei her name. Honestly the brunette didn’t know why he wasn’t demanding information about her village, Gosei seeming far more interested in just molding her into a good little slave… Then again she hadn’t been there long and there probably wasn’t a huge rush.

ore begging, had she not learned yet that begging was not going to work when it came to punishments? ”No. The only way you can show that you are sorry is by taking the punishment without backtalk.” The leash was new to her, but this was the first time she did not put up any semblance of resistance. She tested the strength of the rope but put up no further attempt to undo it. Probably because Gosei was near. Even if the Godaime had wandered off for a while the girl would find that she couldn’t undo the rope in time prior to his return.

The water was clearly a treat, she drank vigorously before she took the time to answer his question, leaning back in a comfortable pose for the first time in two days. ”Cedany Abel...” Gosei repeated, as if tasting the words on his lips. ”I like that name, I’ll let you keep that.” He had intended on giving her a name of his own choosing but no good ones had come to his mind yet. This one he liked too much to dismiss it. He could always change it if he so desired.

Kneeling next to the woman he would untie her from the rack. ”On your knees.” He would order, leading her to crawl to the wall. Only when she was there he would force her to stand up by pulling the rope around her neck. This time the leash would be attached to a hook on the wall. Rope was pulled short enough to allow her to stand flat footed, but it would not be comfortable on the neck, for that tiptoeing would be required.

More rope was required, which was once again picked up from the ground where it was left after the previous predicament. This time the rope would be wound around her waist and another would be threaded tight from her back between her legs to her stomach and the final end would be looped around the manacles, pinning them down in front of her. ”Time for your punishment. You get twenty. You are allowed to choose. Whip or cane. The first will be your back, the latter your bottom.”

The ropes had been attached tight, they would merely add more aggravation to what would be coming. Tip toeing would eventually hurt, but the strain on her neck would too. Tugs on the manacles would lead to another kind of discomfort. Or perhaps a pleasant distraction depending on Cedany’s state of mind.

[Cedany]

For a moment she just looked up at the white haired man with desperation reflecting within her olive green orbs, but they soon dropped again when she realized that she really wasn’t getting out of this. Her nails dug into her palms again when he mentioned her being able to keep her name, feeling just that much more helpless when he made it painfully clear that he could even change that. Head bowed, she refused to look up as the end of the rope was untied from the rack, hesitating a moment before getting up on her knees and crawling towards the wall in silence so she wouldn’t make things worse for herself.

Tomorrow, she told herself that she’d try escaping again after she had some rest. For now though, it was more damage control than anything so she wouldn’t be too injured to do anything. A pained grunt escaped her as she was lifted by the rope, scrambling to get up on her feet quickly to keep the strain off her neck. The girl remained up on the tips of her toes for now, determined to keep the pressure off her neck for as long as possible and she just hoped she wouldn’t be restrained here for long.

Cedany pressed her forehead hard against the wall to distract herself as he wrapped the rope around her, especially as it passed between her legs. The urge to kick him was almost overpowering, having to consistently resist… Right up until the rope was fastened to the manacles and she realized the purpose of the rope, when she pulled against the rope and felt it press between her legs. “Pervert,” she hissed quietly to herself as she brought up a leg and was about to swing it back into his knee, but stopped herself and let it hover there for a moment before dropping the limb back down.

“Please, at least take the rope off,” Cedany begged as she kept her hands down as far as they could go, leaving as much slack on it as she could. She had already proven that violence hadn’t gotten her anywhere but in more trouble, so she just hoped he hadn’t heard her little pervert comment. After a few seconds she finally answered his question with a shudder as well, really not wanting anything to do with either of the weapons, “C-cane.”

till she was having problems with looking at her master. Although it looked submissive it also had a slight downside. He liked her eyes. At least she finally seemed to have learned her lesson and obeyed. He saw her clench her fist, pressing her nails into her hand palms. A sign of frustration. She was vividly aware of her helplessness. Without a word she endured the humiliation.

Her leg trembled. Remembering the attempted headbutt from a while back Gosei kept his eyes open, ready to dodge at a moment’s notice. She hissed a word. He was quite the adept shinobi and his senses had been honed to perfection. How she imagined that he would not hear it was beyond him. At this point she even lifted her leg and put it back. She had learned that trying to harm him would not work. The only thing left to consider was obedience and language.

The ropes were done securely. She stretched her hands downwards as much as possible to relieve the pressure the rope could exert. Once again the begging came. Undeniably cute, but it would not come off. It would be part of her punishment. ”Had you not resisted earlier, that rope would not have been there. You would have been sitting comfortably, taking a rest. This is the lesson you must learn.” Stepping back he would look at her shapely legs. She didn’t kick him, but that didn’t mean there would be no reason to make her position stricter.

Grabbing the third length of rope Gosei would once again wrap it around her ankles, looping it around several times and eventually once he had reached a certain amount of loops he would thread the rope between her ankles, before tying the entire thing off. He had not healed her ankles he suddenly remembered. Maybe for the better. Perhaps from this she would learn how to very politely ask him for favours.

Meanwhile Cedany was picking her poison, opting for the cane over the whip. From the cabinet containing most small torture tools Gosei would procure the long flexible rod. Raising the punishment tool he would place it against Cedany’s chin, turning her head to make her look at him. ”Very well, but you will get ten extra for that comment just there.” As soon as the cane left her throat it would impact both buttocks horizontally with a fleshy impact sound. The Godaime would call the number and apply a second stroke. And a third and a fourth.

Gosei knew that the first five strikes felt like stings, but the pain would amount. At ten the pain would send most adults into a crying fit. From fifteen the pain would be nigh unbearable. Had she not whispered that single word her pain would at that point be almost over. Now however she would be merely halfway. Hopefully he would not have to push it farther. From forty there would be a large chance of fainting and fifty... Well, it would be best not to get to such numbers. He wanted to break her mind, not her body.

Calling each stroke he would finally reach that magic number that symbolized the end: thirty. He would touch her behind, a mass of red horizontal stripes. He had taken care not to break her soft skin, though. Would he decide not to treat it it would hurt for days, but it would never be lasting. He wondered if she could even feel his touch through her pain. ”There, thirty. What do you have to say for your earlier behaviour?” He asked, approaching the girl and stroking her back lovingly.

[Cedany]

A quiet, hopeless, and frustrated groan escaped her when her request was denied, making a mental note not to act up again because she really, really didn’t enjoy these punishments. Again she forced herself to remain still as her ankles were tied up again, keeping her angry comments to herself. She had stopped herself from attacking this time, but it was clear that wasn’t enough for him. The punishments seemed to be escalating quickly for her disobedience now as well, much to her dismay. All this just because she tried to pull her arm away from him.

Cedany knew it was foolish of her to have thought he hadn’t heard her, that was proved to be wishful thinking when he mentioned another ten being added on. The fear was obvious in her eyes when her chin was turned towards him with the cane, the expression hidden soon as she turned away from him and again clenched her fists in frustration. She couldn’t help but yelp in pain when the cane hit her, visibly jolting in pain. Every strike seemed to get a similar reaction, the woman damn near sobbing by the time the tenth blow.

Soon she forgot about staying on her tiptoes, her legs trembling with the effort to keep her standing through the pain even when flatfooted so she wouldn’t choke. Unintentionally she pulled against the rope attached to her manacles as well during those jolts, the rope painfully tight at times before she forced her arms back down. It was difficult to think of anything but the numbers being called out and the pain coursing through her, damn near screaming during those last few. It felt like her lower cheeks were on fire, every blow hurting more than the last as the soft skin was abused repeatedly.

Flinching at the feeling of a hand on the horribly reddened flesh, she had honestly expected another painful strike. “I… I-I’m sorry, master… I won’t do i-it again,” Cedany promised through quiet sobs, apologizing again as well. His hands were hardly comforting, but she had nothing else. The brunette just hoped the pain would actually end for a while, desperate for a rest. She wasn’t the strongest person, feeling all the more pathetic for giving into what Gosei wanted and not being able to just endure it.

he fear in her eyes was undeniable. Yet there was no complaint, no back talk, no more swearing. Screaming yes, much to the delight of her master At first loud squeals with every stroke, but eventually the pain would bring her to sob. She could barely stand and her hands trembled in front of her, adding a new problem to her trials. His configuration of ropes had managed to make her punishment even more uncomfortable, just as he had intended.

In the end all she produced were screams, signs that his punishment had been effective, she could no longer bear it. Hopefully she would no longer try to do anything that would result in such punishment. When he touched her behind she flinched, but he could not tell whether she was expecting more pain or if the feeling was unexpected. He would wrap his hands around her waist, kissing the right side of the girls neck. ”Very good. I noticed you decided not to kick me. For that reason I will consider healing you today instead of tomorrow.”

First he would pick up the last of the ropes from the floor, hinting at a new purpose. Then he would untie the leash from the hook. Putting one hand behind the girls knees and the other behind the small of her back he would carry her in his arms back to her padded cell, where he would lay her on the floor. Taking note he would place her on her left side. His fingers would trail around the brand mark on her hip a while, never touching it directly, that would have hurt. Opening the manacles he would twist the arms of the girl onto her back.

Crossing her arms on her back he would start to wrap ropes around her upper arms, so she could no longer part her arms further than the ropes allowed. They would then be looped around her shoulders to prevent the entire tie from slipping down. Another end of rope would then be looped around her wrists, tying her arms in an inescapable box-tie. Then there was one last end of rope left. He would bend Cedany’s legs towards the tie and connect the two with the last bit of rope as tight at he could. He would ruffle her hair a bit. ”Rest a bit. I will be back in half an hour.” He said, getting up and leaving the cell, the door would close shut, but luckily the lights stayed on this time.

One and a half our later Gosei would return to Cedany, whatever state she would be in. In his arms he would hold a plate with pieces of fruit and a canister that seemed to be filled with a sweet liquid, judging by the scent. Approaching you he would come to a halt at your side, not setting his items down. ”What is your greatest desire?” Maybe unexpected but the question would be important. Evidently like before with the porridge it would decide what would happen to her food. This time however, as he had announced before he placed her here, there was also healing energy at stake. Her behind would be hurting incredibly for days, but Gosei had no patience to wait that long so he would have to heal her at some point. When that point would be would depend on her answer and how well meant it would be.

Oh how she wanted to draw away, or to slam her head into his face when she felt the hand on her waist and the lips on her neck. But instead she just stood there, at least finding solace in the fact that she would be somewhat spared because she hadn’t kicked him earlier. Being healed again certainly sounded good to her, the brunette wanting to avoid this pain as much as possible. It reinforced her decision to just stand there as well, instead of retaliating to his intimate actions with violence.

When she was untied from the wall and lifted, she damn near collapsed and couldn’t help but lean into him when she was lifted. Her body felt like it was made of gel at the moment, it had been so difficult to remain standing on her own strength after everything she had been put through. Instinctively she curled up into herself slightly when she was laid down, tensing beneath his touch as his fingers trailed around the fresh brand as she feared that he’d brush against the painful mark. This time when the manacles were unlocked, she didn’t dare try pulling away from him.

Cedany merely trembled on the padded floor as she let him tie her wrists up behind her back and then forced her already bound ankles back so they were attached to the new bindings around her arms. She didn’t look up at Gosei until the man’s back was to her, all but ignoring the man since it was difficult to control herself around him. This certainly wasn’t the most comfortable position to lay in, but eventually the girl’s eyes fell shut and she tried to just relax, wanting to restore some of the energy that he stripped from her during the tortures.

The brunette hadn’t moved from where Gosei had left her, besides some strand of hair being moved around perhaps after she had experimentally struggled against the ropes. Cedany had long since given up on breaking free when he returned, her eyes lighting up for a moment at the sight of the fruit and drink. She looked up at the man briefly when she heard that question, holding her tongue and keeping from speaking the truth. She wanted to leave, to return to Yukigakure. Or for Gosei to drop dead… Preferably both.

“To… To serve and please you, master,” she muttered quietly, lying through her teeth. Cedany recalled him telling her that earlier, what her only desires were to be. The brunette hated herself for saying it, but she knew that she didn’t mean it. With how much was on the line, it was certainly in her best interests to keep him happy. And if a little lying would accomplish that, she would do it.

t was impossible for Gosei to guess if her answer had been genuine, but at least the words were correct. It did not matter if they were heartfelt at this moment. She would have to repeat them over and over and over again until they were burned in her memory as a mandate. Eventually she would take them to heart. ”Very good.” He would put the plate and the drink on the ground, but out of reach.

First the healing would commence. Once again he would channel chakra into his hands, pressing both hands on her behind. This time he took a more powerful form of the jutsu he used earlier on her. As a result the pain and the bruises would melt away like snow in the sun. He would look at the brand mark on her hip. It was behaving like a normal wound. The heat had immediately disinfected it, so it should heal nicely, leaving behind the only mark on her skin next to the seal that would stand testimony to this day.

Once that was done he would untie her ankles from the ropes around her arms, giving Cedany the opportunity to stretch her legs. ”Now, because you have been an exceptionally good girl with that answer, I will allow you to eat without being fed for ten minutes. Do not betray this trust, the consequences will be dire. If you are good, you will find a reward in my trust.” He said, starting to tug on the ropes behind the girl’s back. Eventually he would undo the knots and take off those ropes. Taking the plate of cut up fruit he would hold it up for her to take it.

Olive orbs remained on the tray of fruit and what she guessed was some sort of juice, unable to reach for it at the moment even if she wanted to. Cedany didn’t move when she felt his hands on her rump, besides clenching her fists behind her back again. Especially since they healed the cane wounds, she didn’t shy away from his touch. After she was healed and her legs were released, she moved to sit up and paused as she listened to him. Her eyes lit up, the woman so quickly deciding against actually listening to him this time.

Sure she didn’t want to be punished, but she simply couldn’t pass out the opportunity to strike. Because if this did work, she wouldn’t have to worry about being punished by him ever again. While he offered the fruit she quickly brought her hands together in a quick flurry of seals to summon six ice clones, two of which would attempt to tackle Gosei to the floor while Cedany and the four remaining clones would make a run for the torture room since she knew the exit was somewhere in there.

he was not broken yet, far from. She clasped her hands together, prompting her master to merely raise an eyebrow. As soon as her fingers touched the seal would kick in, sapping large amounts of the girls chakra and stamina, molding them into lightning chakra and administering large series of painful shocks. Undoubtedly this would break the concentration of the girl. There would be no rush. Gosei would place the plate on the floor and shove the girl to the ground. Once again the manacles would appear, locking the hands of the convulsing girl behind her back.

Never losing his calm he would sit down and watch how either the shocks would subside or how the girl would pass out. ”You cannot do that. The seal, like I said, makes you harmless.” Thoughtfully he would take a piece of apple from the plate and nibble on it. ”I think the rack is in order. A good stretch will set you straight. Also... No more food until at least tomorrow afternoon.” He would say, getting up and grabbing the girls hair, pulling her out of the cell.
