(A/N) Please give the story a chance. You always have to at least read the first two chapters in a book to get into it correct? I know I may not be the best writer, but at least I'm trying.
I'd like to specially thank LunarSkies2383 for helping me out with some of the ideas in this story. Also for helping me smooth out the plot a lot more! It'll make more sense now. :D
SUMMARY: Yuki wakes up in a very strange place. People who are claiming to be her family and friends are seeking her out. What's worse is that the Death Note is real? Seriously, how hard had she hit her head?
Short overview of their background:
Shortly after the government found out of the existence of Diclonius, they quarantined the remaining specie so that they could perform tests on them. They were trying to create a mutated human in hopes of using them for products of war, because of the Diclonius' normally psychotic behavior. While making alterations to the 'newer generation' of Diclonii, sometimes there will be different effects on each subjects body.
If you want to know more about the characters, you can read the stories that I've written for them about their background and where they have come from. 'Number 05' is about Luna, 'Number 08' is about Yuki.
Diclonii are very similar to average humans, yet possessing psychokinetic abilities far beyond any human and, for reasons that may be cultural as well as biological, often at odds with them to the point of threatening to replace them as Earth's dominant sentient species. They are a new evolution born of and yet distinct from the human race. (Reference from elfen-lied . wikia . com) The telekinetic abilities in which they possess, emerge in the form of invisible arms often referred to as 'vectors'.

"When All is Lost"
"I'm sorry Kai." Yuki said to her black haired friend as she turned around to walk out the door. "I would have told you guys about us earlier, but we promised never to tell anyone. Ever." She peered back over her shoulder to give a sad smile.
"Yea, we didn't mean to hurt your feelings." Luna reassured, looking down at Mika. The brown haired Japanese-American girl looked up at Luna with tears in her eyes. Mika and Kai had been Yuki's friends since she was 10 years old. It's been three years since they'd met, leaving them now was quite painful to say the least.
"I-it's fine, just do what you need to do." She whispered, scooting closer to her younger brother for comfort whom just sat there staring at Yuki with an indifferent face. He had been quieter than Yuki, in the days she had known him. Never talked, they had even questioned if he was mute. That is, until he spoke up around his sister.
'They are the only ones outside of the facility that even know what we are...and they don't think we are monsters...I wish I could stay with them longer...but it appears I have to leave...' Yuki thought, she was irritated at the fact that they were trying to get them back. Why did they always have to ruin everything?
"Follow me, Yuki. I have a backup plan. Remember what we planned for beforehand?" Luna said quietly, she didn't like the idea of leaving the two either. She had gotten attached and even considered them family. Having taken them under her wing for so long after she moved from the last town she was in. "Kai, Mika. You guys know what to do as well...we went through this before remember? I've had bank accounts set up for you two a long time ago. You should be fine for awhile at least..."
"Be careful." Kai said in a confident tone, he never really spoke so this said a lot.
"We will." Yuki mumbled as she walked out the door. Luna following not too far behind.
Yuki and Luna were being chased by them psychotic bastards. All they wanted was to retrieve the two. They'd created them after all. After the Diclonius War, they had literally exterminated their kind. The Diclonius. Though there were a few scientists that didn't approve of completely wiping out a perfectly good specimen. So they took the vaccine that was created to exterminate them, used the research to find ways to create more of them. A newer generation, ones like Yuki and Luna who looked almost human. Almost.
Why would they do that to them? Didn't they know that the things they were doing was illegal? Wasn't it enough that they had to live this way, with these abnormalities for the rest of their lives? It was a cruel world, the world that they had been born into.
This 'Earth', as they called it. Humans. Their decisions were always so clouded with greed and power. No. Not all humans. There were people out there like Mika and Kai. Yuki shook her head rapidly, running up behind Luna like a lost puppy. She wouldn't know what to do, if she ever lost her sister.
It was only a select few that would allow such things to poison their mind. All these people wanted was a weapon for war. This was America after all, a war loving country. Or so Yuki had thought, she might have been wrong. Though she did see their history, read all about it. Even the little things they refused to put into the text books, so that hopefully one day their people would forget. They had exterminated thousands and thousands of Native people in order to attain their so called 'freedom'. Claiming that they weren't human at all, saying they were savages. How sickening. That was the way they looked at Yuki and Luna now, savages. Monsters. Such things passed through her mind as she ran behind her beloved sister. Where were they going?
Yuki followed Luna into one of her spare warehouses, wondering what they were doing here. They were hot on their asses and she makes a stop at an abandoned warehouse? She didn't know what was going through her head. They were in a large city located in the state of New York, the warehouse looked old and rusty.
It was so large it even had it's own fenced in yard, all of the grass being over-grown. It was midday, and Yuki hadn't even gotten to shower in a few days. Now that may not seem like long, but when you are running away from a group of psychotic scientists hellbent on getting you by any means possible. You would do anything to get away from them too. So she's had to swim in some pretty disgusting, polluted rivers and tripping in mud. She doesn't exactly look her best as of now.
"What is that we need here exactly?" Yuki questioned Luna in an indifferent voice, looking up at her long mid-back length hair. She whipped her head around to look at her. Yuki's dull-black eyes looking at Luna's red ones. Yuki shifted a bit, holding her black messenger bag that she always had. Luna had a bag as well, though she didn't know why because she didn't have anything in it.
"We need something here, you will understand once we get there. OK?" She stated simply, turning around swiftly and opening the rusty door that they had been standing in front of. Yuki pulled her hand up to brush out the mats that were forming in her shoulder length dull gray hair,
'It's supposed to be white...' She thought to herself as she looked at a handful. She followed Luna into the warehouse, shutting the door behind herself quietly. It was quite spacious, having stairs to a second floor. The floor was littered with empty cardboard boxes, well they looked empty. Luna trotted over to the other side of the building and knelt down on the ground. She knocked around on the ground with her vectors until she heard a 'Thud'. Yuki tilted her head to the side slightly,
'What was that?' She walked next to her. Luna then started to hack away at the cement floor with her vectors, causing debris to fly her way.
Now, Yuki's may have a high number of vectors and they are long. But there is a difference between Yuki and Luna. Luna is much stronger, despite her vectors being in short number and size. Yuki could barely cut through weak metal or stop a bullet, this probably being a side effect to an experimental drug that they had her on at the institution they held her at. They tried to lengthen her vectors, and increase their numbers. Oh yes, they succeeded, but they made her much weaker in the process.
"Watch out." She mumbled after awhile, crawling down into the hole that she created. 'Wait...Is that a tunnel?' Yuki walked over to look down into the hole that Luna just jumped into. 'I wonder what Mika and Kai are doing...I sure hope they are ok.' She thought to herself before her thoughts were interrupted by Luna's yelling.
"Well what are you waiting for? Come on! They will be here any minute now, we need to hurry!" She yelled up to Yuki, who jumped down almost immediately. They were in an underground tunnel, going in the direction of the warehouse's back yard. It was cold and damp down there, the air felt heavy. The walls being made of molding bricks, she had noticed as she ran her fingers along the bumpy walls. When they came to the end of the tunnel, which had a ladder going up to the surface. Luna smashed the wall to the right of the ladder, revealing stacks of currency.
"Empty out your bag and put a few stacks into your bag, we are going to need it." She stated while grabbing some for herself, getting only a nod from Yuki. 'Ah, that's what her bag was for.' She thought to herself as she emptied her bag out, and began to put some in her bag as well. Nothing was of use anymore, because of that damned river that she had to jump into yesterday.
Luna turned her way and handed her what looked like a large leather wallet, she put it in her bag for safe keeping. It looked exactly like the wallet that held her passports and fake IDs, good thinking.
From the looks of it, she probably had about 5,000 dollars. Though she wasn't sure, she'd only grabbed a few stacks. All those years of working finally paid off. She'd thought, looking up at Luna. She knew that Luna hacked for a living. Took jobs from her clients, which usually consisted of bringing down their opposing companies. From the inside out, she'd make their files corrupt or even send viruses into their networks. Putting thousands out of work in the process.
"This way! Hurry!" They simultaneously looked up in the direction of the voice. It was coming from the other direction, along with quick paced footsteps. 'Sounds like, three large men and a woman.' Yuki thought, looking over at Luna.
"Shit, already?" Luna hissed under her breath as she started to climb the ladder. "Come on, we need to hurry. We can do this!" She said quickly, Yuki following close behind. Once they climbed out of the hole, Luna slammed the trap door shut and darted off in the other direction. She launched herself using her vectors over the gate surrounding the warehouse, Yuki following not far behind.
"Where to?" Yuki asked tonelessly, you could barely even tell if it was a question. Luna didn't even answer, she was too busy thinking of what to do.
"Stop right there!" They heard a deep voice say from behind them, but they didn't look back. Instead they ran even faster.
"Shit. Shit. Shit! SHIT!" Luna yelled, as they opened fire at them. They rounded the corner and entered the nearest building. Luna was looking back and forth looking for an elevator or some stairs, her shoulder was stinging for some reason.
"Over here." Yuki said, running toward an elevator. From the looks of it, they had entered a fancy hotel. 'The hells a hotel doing near an abandoned warehouse?' Yuki thought, darting into the elevator. Luna started to push the close button as fast as she could, seeing a few guards come running into the front entrance of the hotel.
"The elevator!" He yelled, running as fast as his little human legs could take him. He wasn't fast enough, it closed and they rode the elevator to the top floor. Luna ran to the door to the stairs and started to run to the rooftop. 'What are we going to do on the roof?' Yuki decided to voice her question.
"Why are we going to the roof?"
"They are following us, probably thinking they can corner us up here."
"They are going to corner us." She stated simply, running out of breath as they opened the door to the roof. She had never been as physically fit as Luna, so she got tired rather quickly. They shut the door behind them and started to walk to the other side close to the ledge, Yuki faced the door.
"Not necessarily, we can cushion our fall with our vectors. Didn't think of that one did you?" Luna smirked, looking over at the door as well. She looked like she was getting paler by the minute, 'Why could that be? Is she alright? Perhaps it's just fear...' A few minutes later it was pushed open abruptly, revealing 3 burly men and a slender woman behind them. The men had protective gear on, but the woman was only wearing a white coat and some jeans.
"Your cornered now Number 05! Give it up!" The woman yelled from behind the men, who had M16A4's pointed in their direction. 'Powerful rifle...' She noted, not liking the idea of getting hit with one of those.
"Don't call me that!" Luna hissed, her eyes narrowing dangerously.
"If you come quietly we won't hurt you." She stated, whispering something to the men in front of her. Yuki heard it, 'If she makes any sudden movements, shoot.' She had said. At the knowledge of this, Yuki looked over at Luna. She looked extremely pissed.
"If we come to you, you'll end up hurting us even more as it is! Why should I trust you!" She screamed back, her black hair whipping in her face as she did so. The wind that was blowing made their voices slightly drowned out, it was a wonder that they even heard her. Luna started to back up, looking up at the men dangerously.
One of the younger guards seemed to get startled at her sudden movement and shot their gun at Luna, hitting her. Yuki's eyes widened as she turned back to look at Luna, who had already started to fall off of the building. She couldn't see where they shot her, the building blocking her view. Everything seemed to go in slow motion, the only thing she was able to see was her legs as she fell off.
"Luna!" Yuki yelled turning around to jump too in hopes of catching her, only to be tackled to the ground by one of the larger men. Yuki's face hit the ground.
'Thud!', she bit her bottom lip drawing blood instantly. The underside of her chin was stinging, and her lip was throbbing. Yuki's vision blurred slightly from the impact on the ground.
"Not so fast!" He said, and started to laugh sadistically. 'Do they all love seeing us in pain? They seriously believe we don't have feelings as well? They are the monsters! Not us!'
"No! Get away from her!" The woman commanded, pulling out a tranquilizer gun and aiming in her direction. "She could attack at any moment!"
"Y-You killed her!" She struggled against the man, trying to pull her arms free. The man squeezed even harder, making it sting. "She didn't even do anything to you!" Yuki's eyes started watering, her voice full of panic. Her head was pushed to the ground again, this time hitting her right cheek. She started trying to move her head to the side, the pavement scraping her skin.
"Number 05 was defective, it was going to happen sooner or later. Though it is a pity..." The woman said unsympathetically, "You though, Number 08, are a perfect subject. Very obedient. Now that I think about it..." She looked up, pondering about some unknown thing.
"You make a good test dummy. We need more like you, to test out medications so that we don't hurt our more valuable subjects...You'd better come quietly or else those humans you were with-" Yuki felt a sudden rush of pure anger swell up. She frowned, 'Is that all they care about! No remorse for what they've done?'
"Defective my ass! The only thing that's defective, is your way of thinking you sick bastards!" Yuki screamed, she wasn't used to yelling or having any form of opinion on anything. She preferred silence, never liked to talk. Indifferent. This time though, something had cracked.
'I-If I don't get rid of them, they are going to try and get Mika and Kai as well! I won't let that happen. Not after what happened to Luna!'
Her eyes widened and flashed a deep blood red color as she lashed all 30 of her vectors out. Yuki screamed, it almost sounded like a battle cry. She heard a sickening crunch from above her, and the weight was lifted from her body.
'I don't like doing this, but I have to! It's for my friends...and ... Luna.' Yuki stood up, slowly turning her head in the direction of the men. A sticky red liquid covering the back of her black sweater, she saw their faces slowly contort into that of utter terror. Yuki's stomach twisted uncomfortably, fear. They feared her. The woman's hand started to shake, as if she were paralyzed and trying to move.
"I will show you your place, disgusting humans." Yuki's voice sounded demonic as she turned around and glared at the remaining individuals. She didn't know what was going through her mind, didn't know what she was doing. Almost as if she weren't the one doing it. Is this what it feels like to be so furious? To hate. To want to kill?
She heard the woman scream, as she grabbed her head and crushed it. She watched brain matter spray all over the wall, using one of her other arms to slice another man in half. The woman's body slumped lifelessly to the ground, a pool of blood forming underneath it. The man standing next to her started to shoot blindly in her direction, yelling profanities at her. She had obviously scared the poor man,
'He was just following orders after all. Right? Not all humans are the same...Luna said so.' Yuki, having weak vectors, got hit making her stumbled backwards. She started to slip off of the ledge. She felt so much pain, she couldn't even catch herself. She could never use her vectors during large amounts of pain. She was doomed. Her head felt like pressure was put on it, and she blinked a few times her vision starting to blur.
Her body hurt. She was falling. That was all the detected as she watched the building start to get taller. 'I'm so sorry Luna..' Was her last thought, as everything went white?
Okay so, I made a few minor alterations to the first chapter here. I'll be resubmitting this story slowly once a week. :3
Please share with me your thoughts on things, don't be afraid to.
