A/N from A.C.: Glad some people seem to be reading this. Enjoy.

Warnings from A.C.: Blood, violence, evil scientist dude.

Disclaimer: Me no own Isa.

Master called me forward, and I slowly walked to him, making sure to keep my eyes on the floor. He grabbed my chin and forced me to look up at him, "Now, now. No need to panic." Master had a cruel smile over his features.

"Yes, Sir…" I said quietly, looking past him, at Isa.

My friend looked to me, eyes red with blood, pain evident on his features. I shuddered a little when I saw the blood thinly pooled around his head.

Master took the knife from the table again and brought it to push against my neck. "On the bench like him, my slave."

I gulped and lay down on the other empty bench in the room, and I felt metal clamp around my wrists and ankles, holding me down. I started struggling to escape, instinct taking over. A small yelp tore from my throat as Master cut under my chin with the knife.

Isa arched his back trying to get free from the restraints. "Don't do this to her! Master! Don't do this!"

I watched helplessly as Master spun on his heel and drove the blade through Isa's arm. He screamed louder than I had ever heard. Master let go of the blade, leaving it in his arm. Master growled out, hand resting over my friend's throat. "You do not speak out without being spoken to; you do NOT order your Master!"

Isa gasped around the hand choking him, "Y-y-yes, Master!"

Master tightened his hand around his throat, I saw Isa jump slightly when he pushed on the knife wound. Isa's breathing slowed, his chest rising slower, his eyes slowly closing. My friend's hands were still chained to the table; he couldn't even fight against the cruel hand keeping the air out of him!

Isa's hands relaxed a bit as our Master's hand pressed down harder on his neck. His hands clenched into fists again as it grew harder for him to breathe. Master growled out and let go of Isa's neck as his eyelids started to lower.

"Be grateful I didn't kill you, boy."

My friend panted, taking in deep, heavy breaths, "Yes… My Master… Isa did not obey… I deserved it… Master did right… in harming me…"

I knew he was in trouble… Isa never talked in the third person, only when he was deeply scared for his life. He's always so calm, it's so odd seeing him like this. I was never in the same room as Isa when we were experimented on...

"Yes, you earned your pain, Isa. But remember, you deserve to die... if I had not bought you, your families would have killed you both. Be happy that you're still alive."

Isa choked out a sob, "Yes, my Master... you are right..." I could tell he was trying to buy me some more time, "Master is so kind... to let me live... When I clearly... deserve to die..."

"A smart boy, aren't you?" Master seered. He gave a harsh laugh and left Isa trapped on the table, the cuts opened once again. I saw blood pool around his head again, seeping from his neck. Patches of his beautiful, blue hair stained a gross brown from it.

Master ripped the blade from Isa's arm, my friend letting a rough scream of pain out. He strolled over to my table and looked at me, raising a brow. "Are you ready, little one? Ready for the formula?"

I swallowed my fear, "I am, Master..."

"Oh, but it doesn't look as though." He chuckled, "I don't know if I should do to you what I did to your friend.... Should I do to her as I did to you, Isa?"

"Master... PLEASE, don't harm her! Please, my Master!" Isa cried, he pulled at his bonds trying to break them, "Master just give her the potion, don't harm her!" He's trying to save me, as a brother would a sister, offering himself to save me... and he knew it...

"Oh but you know that you will get a taste of the pain she should have recived, correct?" Our Master turned to look at Isa.

"Yes, sir... I know... Please, I'll take the punishment and pain for her..."

I practicly scream at him for being so stupid, "ISA! Don't!"

Master spun to face me, "Do not speak out, slave!" He struck me on the side of the head.

"I'm sorry, Master!" I yelped out.

Master picked up the now full syringe and held it up, "Perhaps we should get your shot out of the way before Isa's punishment."

I nodded lightly, and Master jabbed the blue vein in my arm with the needle, not bothering to clean either the skin or the needle like a doctor. He didn't care about infection, only about the experiment. He could buy more test dummies.

I screamed as a barrel of burning liquid fell from the hollow needle and into my arm. The burning stopped almost automaticlly, but it stung... I let out a whimper as I could feel the potion travel through my veins.

Master turned to Isa and grinned, "Now, for your punishment...."

Isa screamed out as our Master hit him across the face. His head snapped to the side to look at me from the force of the hit. Bits of blood trailed from his mouth, and fell in drops to the metal table. His eyes begged.... pleaded to me to look away.

But, I couldn't... It was so odd, I wanted to... but I couldn't look away. Master took the small blade from the side table. He drew a deep line down Isa's neck and onto his chest. My friend cried out in pain, begging it to stop. Master laughed, driving the blade even deeper. Isa screamed, his voice cracking from the rough treatment.

Blood poured onto the table, staining Isa's hair an ever darker shade. Master took the blade from my friend's chest and held it against his throat. Our Master's other hand went to grab Isa's hair, pulling his head back. The blade pressed hard on the more exposed neck and I heard my friend's panted breaths.

I could tell he was trying to ignore it, block out the cuts his throat recieved. He stayed quiet as Master cut a deep woud on his neck, right under his jaw. I felt tears drip down my cheeks, couldn't believe that Isa would take this for me... Take my punishment...

Isa was silent as Master drew the knife away. Our Master threw the blade onto the equipment table.

My friend's breathing was slow, pained. "Why... did you stop the punishment, Master? I deserve it... you stopped...?"

"Observent as always, boy." He sneered. Master unlatched the cuffs around Isa's wrists and ankles, "I need you to be alive... or atleast consious for the experiment to enable." He walked to me and took the binding from around my limbs as well.

Isa sat up on the table, holding the cut on his chest, blood seeping through his fingers. "Wh-what is needed for the experiment, Sir?"

I followed in suit, sitting up on the bench, legs hanging over the side. I watched Isa and Master.

Master spun and smacked Isa, causing him to let out a pained yelp and quickly bring his hand to his cheek. "Do not question your owner, slave!" He smiled evilly, "Though, since you asked..." He turned in time to miss a fierce glare from Isa, "You both need to spend a few hours outside. Now."

"Master! You never allow us outside!"

"Very true, Isa." Master refrained from hitting him this time, "The experiment has some.... side-effects...." My friend stayed quiet, "You may speak, Isa."

"Thank you, Sir...." Isa nodded, "What do the side-effects do...?"

Master took Isa's chin in his hand, and forced him to look up into dark eyes. "That, my slave, is what we are going to find out."

Isa swallowed hard and nodded, "Yes, Master."

He let go of Isa's chin and smiled at him, "Now, let's get going. Outside with the both of you."

Isa nodded, jumping off from the bench. I followed him and climbed off the table. Staying right by Isa's side, I walked up the stairs behind Master.

He reached the top and opened wide the door to outside, ushering both of us out into the moonlight. I stopped dead in my tracks as I felt a strange power wash over me. I looked to my friend and I guess he felt it too.

Isa's eyes were closed lightly, his head tilted to be basked in the light, blue hair shining. He suddenly turned to me, odd golden eyes pericing my own. "This is amazing... do you feel this power?"

"Y-yeah."

"I've never felt this before. I feel so alive!"

I cracked a smile, Isa has never been so happy before. I guess the experiment did something to us that made the moon special... This is all just so strange... but by now.. I should be used to it.
