Ren almost couldn’t tear his eyes away from Sasuke, seeing the state he was in and what had just been done to him was almost enough to scare him into silence. “He’s a client of mine.” Sasuke could see the fear on his face, clear as day. “I didn’t know he was here- I swear!”
“Hm, and why were you here in the first place?”
“I only came because you took my friend!”
“Oh, Akihime, I see. It seems she too has many friends.” He hummed thoughtfully. “And who knows you’re here?”
“No one, I came on my own.” Ren answered, heart hammering in his chest.
“Oh, how wonderful, then we won’t have to worry about anyone coming then.” He turned and moved away from Ren, returning after a moment with a scalpel. “Surely you don’t think I’m that much of an idiot.” He said with a soft sigh. “Someone as pitiful as you coming in here by yourself? I’m sure you have plenty of friends- ones I’m dying to hear about.” He said, using the blade to remove the skin from his forearm.
