I found 1 but it had a lot more than 8 letters!

[fiction-factory]

I thought they had to begin nd end with the same pair though so tORmentOR doesn't quite work

[fiction-factory]

Oops again- i see it can be more than 2 so TORmenTOR is fine

[Davemano]

Thank Tuvok, hope it suits.

UNDERGROUND,if nobody's already got it.

[Davemano]

That is more simple than vis a vis, and fits the clue.
