  Zetsu sat on Deidara's bed, watching as Tobi slept restlessly on the bed across from his. It was obvious that Tobi was suffering from the abuse.
"It's alright, Tobi…" Zetsu whispered, feeling useless as he could do nothing to help Tobi.
Zetsu was so caught up in supervising Tobi that he had jumped when the bedroom door opened and slammed against the wall. Tobi woke up screaming, a look of terror on his face.
"Shut up, idiot! …Un!" Deidara shouted at Tobi, obviously moody from his mission.
Zetsu grabbed Deidara's hand and pulled him out of the room. "Deidara-san, we must speak about Tobi."
"Un?" Annoyance was radiating from the blonde.
"Hidan did something very terrible to Tobi, Deidara," Zetsu explained. "Tobi needs to be looked after now."
  Deidara raised an eyebrow. "What are you trying to say…?"
Zetsu took a deep breath. "...Deidara-san... Hidan... raped Tobi-chan."
Deidara gasped, his one visible eye widening in shock. "Really, hmm?"
Zetsu nodded sadly. "May we strike up a deal, Deidara-san?"
"Hmm?"
"A simple room change. It will be easier to take care of Tobi if we can be in the same room as him at all times. You probably won’t give a shit about the kid so -- what he means to say is that Tobi has been traumatised and things could get... stressful."
Deidara nodded, still surprised. "I... I can’t believe..."
Tobi screamed loudly from inside the room, cutting Deidara and Zetsu's conversation short.
"Sorry, Deidara-san, but we must check on Tobi…” Zetsu explained.
Deidara nodded. "I'll inform Leader-sama about the room changes."
Zetsu opened the door, finding Tobi hiding under his bed sheets, screaming and crying. Once Tobi had caught sight of Zetsu, his screams intensified.
"Go away!" Tobi screamed at Zetsu, throwing his pillow at the older-nin. "Tobi hates you! Leave Tobi alone! Go away!"
Zetsu gasped at Tobi's words. Tobi surely couldn’t mean that... could he? No... Tobi could never hate anyone!
"Tobi-kun," Zetsu began softly, holding his hands out in front as he slowly approached the younger boy, "let us help you."
"No! You just want to hurt Tobi, too! Go away! Go away, go away, go away!"
"Tobi, you don’t mean this! You stupid little brat -- we're only trying to help!"
"Shut up! You only want to hurt Tobi like Hidan did! People are horrible to Tobi so why would you be any different?! Just leave Tobi alone!"
Zetsu turned away from Tobi -- he couldn’t face the child any longer. Silently wiping hot tears away, he walked back towards the door.
"..."
"..."
"We'll come back later when you've settled down..."
--LINERBEAK--
Tobi hadn’t left his room for dinner that night – not for anything. Konan had tried to bring him in some dinner but had quickly left after Tobi wouldn’t stop screaming at her.
The kid hadn’t even left his bed -- he had just laid under the covers crying to himself. Zetsu had returned for bed, and for once, Tobi was still awake before he had arrived -- Tobi normally turned in right after dinner, and it was nearing midnight.
“Tobi?” Zetsu whispered softly as he closed the door behind him quietly, trying not to startle Tobi.
Tobi couldn’t seem to speak anymore -- he must have tired himself out from screaming all day.
Zetsu walked towards the boy, sitting on the bed beside Tobi and resting a hand on the boy’s head.
Tobi didn't have the energy to move away or scream but he grunted at Zetsu, quivering slightly.
“Are you feeling better?” Zetsu whispered again.
Tobi grunted again, squeezing his eye shut -- he didn't want anyone to come near him but he was so exhausted, he couldn’t do anything to voice his discomfort right now. He flinched violently as Zetsu’s hand caressed his head, but now enough was enough.
“Stop.” Tobi grunted, moving his body slightly as if trying to move away.
Zetsu pulled his hand back quickly, a look of rejection across his face -- Tobi usually loved getting his hair played with. He couldn’t hold the tears back any longer -- one look at the boy’s frightened face and the dam broke. Zetsu fell to the ground, ripping at his hair as he cried heavily.
Tobi was scared by the emotional display, but he was too weak to do anything except for cry himself.
-XX-
Once Zetsu had stopped crying an hour later, he found that Tobi had gone to sleep. Knowing that the black-haired boy would probably wake him up again soon by screaming, he decided to turn in for the night, trying to get as much sleep as possible.
Heading for the bed across from Tobi’s, Zetsu pulled the covers back and lay down, squeezing his eyes shut tight. One thing he was glad for was that Pein had allowed Zetsu and Deidara swap rooms for the night times – even if it wasn’t a twenty-four-seven swap, at least he could still care for his subordinate at night.
--LINEBREAK--
When Zetsu woke up the next morning, he was drained. He had been up half the night trying to calm Tobi back down but it seemed that the more he tried, the more the boy hated him for it.
Looking over at the child’s bed, Zetsu had assumed that Tobi was still sleeping, judging by the lump under the blankets. Wanting one last look at his subordinate’s face without being screamed at, he approached the bed, expecting to see the sleeping boy, but what he wasn’t expecting to find under the blankets were Tobi’s pillows.
Tobi was gone, and Zetsu knew it.
“Pein-sama!” Zetsu called urgently, running out of the room and to Pein’s office. “Pein-sama, Tobi’s gone!”
  Despite having the other members shouting at Zetsu to shut up and stop yelling, the man did not stop running once until he had reached Pein’s bedroom.
The door had opened at all of the shouting just as Zetsu had arrived, and an exhausted-looking Pein poked his head out.
“Zetsu-kun?” Pein asked with a yawn. “What’s wrong?”
Tears flooded Zetsu’s eyes as he answered. “Tobi-kun is gone!”
“What?!” Pein ran from his bedroom down to Tobi and Deidara’s. He pushed the door open and spied Tobi’s empty bed. He looked desperately around the room but Tobi just was not in there.
“Tobi-chan must have run away.” Kuro spoke, his eyes widening in realisation.
Pein’s head snapped around to face Zetsu. “Are you sure?”
Zetsu nodded. “You didn't see Tobi-kun, Pein-sama…”
Pein bit his lip before nodding. “Okay. We’ll form a search party and look for him. Don't worry, Zetsu-kun -- we’re going to find him, okay? And when we do, we’ll help him through this.”
Zetsu nodded, but inside he had his doubts. What if Tobi-kun doesn't want to be found…?
--LINEBREAK--
Tobi wiped at his eyes before continuing on in his journey. He had finally gotten out of that prison. Now he was free to go wherever he wanted, and no one would be there to ever hurt him again!
Tobi honestly tried his best to laugh happily at this thought, but his lips wouldn’t even move, leaving him in a permanent frown.
“Tobi was so dumb to trust the Akatsuki…” Tobi muttered to himself, picking himself up from the ground after he had stumbled and fallen. “Tobi thinks… no… Tobi knows Zetsu-san would have done that to Tobi next. That’s why he wouldn’t leave Tobi alone after and touched Tobi’s bottom in the bath. Tobi hates Zetsu-san! Tobi wishes Tobi was never there!”
Tobi growled to himself at the thought, becoming so overwhelmed by anger and hatred that he had never felt before. He felt like he wanted to hurt someone or something -- even though that feeling frightened him, he couldn’t help but want to act on it.
Tobi cried out in pain as his fist connected with a tree and his hand broke on the impact. He fell to his knees, cradling his hand to his chest, sobbing -- but it wasn’t from the pain, it was from the fear that was quickly overtaking all of his other emotions.
“What did Tobi do to have that happen to him…?” Tobi sobbed, desperate to know the answer. “All Tobi ever did was try to be a good boy…! What did Tobi do to be a bad boy…?! Someone… anyone… please… tell Tobi! Please!”
Tobi was so caught up in his emotions that he didn't hear the thunder booming across the sky, or feel the rain pelting down on his tiny, fragile body. All he knew was that something was happening to him, and it was terrifying.
--LINEBREAK--
“Did anyone find Tobi?” Pein asked when the last of his subordinates returned to the base.
Everyone shook their heads. “No, Pein-sama. Tobi appears to have gotten away.”
Pein glanced over to Zetsu.
Zetsu appeared to have been heartbroken. Though he wasn’t crying, Pein didn't think that it would take much to make him cry with the way that he was feeling right now.
Pein understood that Zetsu loved Tobi like no other.
“Zetsu,” Pein’s calm voice snapped Zetsu out of his stupor. “We’ll find him, Zetsu. I promise. No matter what.”
--FOUR WEEKS LATER--
Tobi was starving. He hadn’t found any food for almost a week and his already-skinny frame was now nothing but skin and bones. Coughing weakly, Tobi fell to the ground. He was so hungry, it hurt.
“Mmm…” Tobi moaned loudly, holding his tummy. “Food…”
Tobi inched his head to the side, trying to look in the direction he had been walking in before he fell over. Something glinting in the distance caught his attention.
“A…” Tobi groaned, a smile of relief on his face. “Ap…ples…”
Tobi pushed himself to his feet, staggering over to an apple tree before collapsing underneath it, desperate to have at least ten apples. The only problem was that the boy couldn’t see any on the ground, and he was too weak to get some from the branches.
Tobi groaned loudly at the realisation before an object had hit him in the back of the head. He whimpered and jumped, surprised to find that an apple had fallen down. He reached out and grabbed it, shoving it into his mouth as if his life depended on it, so starved that he hadn’t bothered to chew.
Tobi finished the apple in record time, throwing the core away and looking around desperately for another apple. There was one on the on other side of the tree, and even though it looked rotten, Tobi could have cared less -- food was food to him at that minute.
--LINEBREAK--
It was the next day that Tobi had hit a civilian village. Having eaten so many apples had made him sick (though it could also have been that rotten apple), but he felt a little better than he had in a while. Stepping into the village made him so nervous, but he knew that it was the only way he could get real food.
Searching around until he got to a food stand, Tobi waited until no one was looking and grabbed an armful of food, running away with it as fast as he could. Smiling softly to himself, he sat down and ate -- glad to have had his first meal in weeks.
