Yuichiro's POV

"The experiment has to work."

Huh?

"Most definitely, sir."

What have I walked in on?

I heard their footsteps coming closer to me. I moved to where the would not see me if they walked out or the door. I was lucky, and they didn't move back. I exhaled, and panicked a bit. I had only come here to speak to Guren, and I had gotten lost. Extremely lost. I was going to ask someone for directions, but I didn't want to interrupt an important conversation. This must have been classified.

But what could they have been talking about? An experiment? What the hell?! On who? Maybe I should go check…

I leaned over, to see what was going on. It seemed as though there was a girl trapped in a strange device.

I walked over, and got a closer look. She looked slightly like Kimizuki.

Maybe his sister? ...What was her name again?

I put my fingers up to the glass, and took a breath in. Suddenly, the girl's eyes opened. She looked at me, and I noticed her expression turn to sadness. I stared in confusion as a tear left her eye.

A thought was imprinted into my mind. Mirai.

Her name. At that moment I made a decision. This decision would change the course or the future.

I'm going to get her out of there.

I noticed a desk off to the left of the machine. I had many buttons on it. Luckily, the one I needed was labeled. I pressed it.

(-OPEN-)

The glass separating Mirai from the rest of the room lifted, but she still stood there. She had wires that kept her upright, and standing still. She couldn't move. I carefully removed the wires holding her up. She fell onto me. I lifted her over my arm, and started to sneak out. On my way out of the room, I noticed a black device on the wall. I thought nothing of it and kept going.

"AHHH! WHERE IS SHE?!"

I jumped, and heard several yells similar to this one as I tip-toed faster back the way I came. I'll take Mirai to Kimizuki.

She should be safe there, right?

When I reached the front door, I cursed myself. I would be in plain sight. Anyone involved with the case would know I was trying to escape.

Suddenly, someone else opened the door. I quickly moved behind it. The person was Guren, the person I originally wanted to see when I first came here.

"Guren!" I whispered.

"Yuichiro?! What are you doing here? Is that-"

"Shhh! I saved her! They were talking about some kind of experiment! How do I get out of here without being seen?"

"I'll get Colonel Goshi to cast an illusion. Hide somewhere until I get back."

"Okay."

Guren walked back out of the doors, and closed them behind him. I noticed an empty boy's locker room where higher-ups would usually change when preparing for battle. I put Mirai in an empty locker, and myself in the one under her, wielding my sword. There was a hole in the cover just big enough for me to see in front of us.

I heard someone walk in. He muttered, "Dammit...power will be so much harder to obtain now. She was our ticket to ruling both humans and vampires. All with only the power of an-"

Another man interrupted him, and told him to hurry up. He complied, and left.

What was he talking about?

The same voice greeted Guren moments later, and I left my locker before removing the still unmoving Mirai. She still stared at me, and burned one more thought into my mind.

Go.

I ran to the front door, and noticed that Goshi had made it look like the door was located in a different position. I ran through the real one, and left for Kimizuki's dorm, close to mine.

Once I got there, I laid Mirai down on Kimizuki's bed. She nodded at me.

So some of her functions are coming back. That's good. How long was she in there? Did the wires control her every move…?

I knew Kimizuki was training at the time, so I went to the sparring room. He seemed to be finishing up anyway. He was furiously practicing formations with his melee blades.

"Kimizuki! I need you to come quickly."

"Yuu? Why?"

"Just come."

"Fine then, I guess."

He followed me back to his dorm. When he saw Mirai, he started panicking. After calming him down, I told him what I had seen. The look of surprise he gave me was not unexpected. Utter shock covered the canvas of his face as his eyes wandered from Mirai and back to be. He looked down, and said, "So, we have to keep her here now? I thought I was helping her get better. I had no idea they were doing this. Mirai, I'm so sorry…"

Mirai shook her head.

I wonder...can she speak? What exactly did they do to her?

"Mirai...have the government scientists been experimenting on you for a long time?"

She nodded in response.

"Can you speak?"

"I-I…" Mirai coughed violently. She shook her head cautiously.

"It's okay. Don't push yourself." Kimizuki said. I nodded in agreement. He continued, "I'll get you some water."

She seemed to be shaking. I asked, "Are you cold?" Mirai nodded.

I slowly moved her body up towards her pillow, and Kimizuki helped me when he returned. After helping her drink the water, we lifted the blanket, and put it over her.

Speakers blared in our room. They said, "Yuichiro, report to Guren's office immediately."

"I have to go." I said.

"Thank you for the help."

"Of course. Anything for family."

He nodded. I walked out, and started walking to Guren's office. I opened the door, but there didn't seem to be anyone there. I walked in further, and heard the doors close behind me. Before I could turn around, and felt a cloth on my mouth with a strange smell on it.

Chloroform.
