Chapter One

It took me three days to track the source of the power I felt. To say I was surprised would be an extreme understatement. For five minutes I sat there behind the tree. This is gonna be way to easy. I smirk. I focus on watching the five people in the clearing ahead of me. One was a spirit, of what type I am not sure yet. Three were humans but only two had a strong ki. Hmm... they should be easy enough. I'm sure the last one with the red hair is a demon, a fox demon. His aura is like none I've ever seen or learned about before. Oh well.

I was about to head back to camp and make some kind of plan up when I felt it. Quickly I spun around. Unfortunately for me I didn't detect the energy source fast enough. Cold steel pressed against my throat. When I looked up I saw a demon with red eyes glaring back at me. Shit! Not good. How the hell didn't I sense him sooner? Sure he's suppressing his ki but still, I was trained to detect it even then. I was brought from my thoughts when he spoke. His voice sent shivers up my spine. It was deep and soft, yet cold and full of malice. I suppressed another shiver.

"Who are you?" he asked coldly, pressing the blade harder against my throat. I stared at him, my face void of emotions my eyes showing nothing that I'm feeling at the moment. I ignore the question and look him over. He was clad in all black besides the white bandage that wrapped his right arm and headband he wore. His stance was firm, gaze unwavering, as he stared at me awaiting the answer.

"That is no concern to you so leave me be," I said monotonously.

"Hn. It is if you're watching me and my companions," he replied in close to the same tone I used. He sounds so much like me. I shook my head to try and clear it, making the blade cut me in the process. I didn't notice anything until I felt something trickling down my neck. I reached up and wiped it off bringing my hand in my range of sight. The red liquid trickled over my fingers and fell to the ground.

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

The sound brought back memories I didn't know I had before; a lab full of equipment, a tank, a chair. For some reason the last one made me shudder. A moment later I found out why. Pain seared though my body. It felt as if I was being burned alive while all my bones were being crushed. Like my soul was being shattered and split into a million pieces. I couldn't help it. When the memory came back I let out a scream full of pain. It was the exact scream I screamed that day, back in the lab.

---Flashback---

The door to my cell opened and four men dressed in doctors coats came in. The closer they got the more I felt the need to get out, to run. So that's what I did. I dodged the swipes the doctors threw at me and raced out the door past the guards. I didn't notice that I had been shot until my body started going numb. When I fell to my knees I tried to crawl but my body wouldn't respond. I was paralyzed, I couldn't move.

I started to panic as the doctors came closer. When they spoke their voices were slurred and drawn out. I'm surprised I actually understood it. "Take her to the lab and strap her down. Tell the others to get the equipment ready. I'll be there shortly," the doctor said. Then I was dragged away. Everything seemed like it went in slow motion. I tried again to move but found myself unable.

I didn't realize they stopped dragging me until I felt the cold steel restraints close around my wrists and ankles. Why they strapped me down when I couldn't move was beyond me. Frankly I didn't care I just wanted out. "Is she strapped down? Good, then it's time to begin," I heard. Begin what? What's going on, I wondered.

A searing pain in my arm brought me back to reality. I stared into the mirror above me trying to focus on what was happening. Three needles were stuck in my right arm, each putting some kind of liquid into my body. The same pain went through my left arm. I didn't need to look to see what was happening. As the liquids started flowing freely through my veins the pain increased, becoming almost unbearable. Then the screaming started.

It took me a while before I realize it was me screaming. I had never felt such pain. My bones, I could feel them shifting and changing. What were they doing to me. Slowly my vision was becoming a hazy red. My jagan was opening. I was changing. I could feel it but there was nothing I could do to stop it.

I watched myself in the mirror as my rage and pain began to transform me. In the corner of my eye I could see the 'doctor' smirking. What I would give to be able to wipe that smirk off his face. As my rage grew my pain did as well. The person I was seeing in the mirror wasn't me. They changed me somehow. A fresh wave of pain seared though me. I screamed again in fear and pain and continued to do so long afterwards. It brought shutters to my spine. All those around me, the 'doctor' included, paled and shuttered some. Then all went red...

---End Flashback---

I shot up, trembling. It took me a while before I realized that I wasn't in the forest anymore. Hastily I took in my surroundings. From the looks of things I was in some kind of hospital room. I shuddered. I now knew why I hated being in anything that resembled that of a lab. I took in a shaky breath and laid back down. When I heard the doorknob being turned I closed my eyes and evened out my breath so it seemed like I was asleep.

"So who do you think she is?" a woman asked in a hushed voice. A soft 'hn' was the only reply. That voice...it's familiar.

"Whoever it is she's hot," a guy murmured.

"Yusuke!" the woman scolded. I mentally smirked. An intense pain went through my head. It seemed that someone was trying to get into my mind, and was doing a good job if it to.

"Stop," I murmured. "Please... stop."

Well... what do ya think? sighs I know -.- I'm a horrible writer but tell me what you think anyways. Ummm... I might have trouble updating since where I'm normally going to be staying doesn't have internet and I usually only come back for a day and a half once a week. (So if i don't update for a while down worry.) But I guess on the plus side I have 5 full days I can use to write more chapters, if you guys want them that is. Well review and tell me what you think and stuff. Suggestions of all kinds are welcome. I'm a very open minded person so don't be afraid to say or suggest whatever you want. Oh, speaking of suggestions, I need a title. I couldn't think one up if my life depended on it and, well, for stories of any kind, you kinda need one so a little help there would be greatly appreciated. As for spelling errors... I'm pretty sure I spelled the names and stuff right but if I didn't please correct me.
