Yes, I live! Mwahaha! Wait... Should I be cowering in fear from my readers instead of proudly proclaiming something they could use against me to finally plan my demise?! ...

-(takes a good, hard look at readers' murderous glares)-

...I think I'll be going now...

Disclaimer: A long, long time ago, Mineko Ohkami had not yet written her famed series and Dragon Knights was up for grabs. Alas, during that time I did not use that opportunity wisely, resulting in me not owning Dragon Knights. Happy?

The Experiment

Chapter Two

Of Bed Sheets and Hotties

"I... Don't exist anymore?" Gods, I couldn't help it. Who would be able to think straight if an incredible cute guy is nearly on top of you?

I was zoomed in on his eyes. The unbelievingly red eyes. The unbelievingly red eyes that seemed to be smiling at me, no, laughing at me.

"You don't care?" His voice was laced with dry humor, and held a hint of disbelief.

"Wha...? What are you talking about?" Well, I was embarrassed to say the least. Here this guy is trying to make a point across and I'm ogling his body. Mother always told me staring was bad. Wait, Mother?! Where was she?

All the memories came back. The memories of my nighttime rendezvous with Crewger, the fire, and those demons with the red eyes. Red eyes...

Fire demons with red eyes. Gorgeous hunk with red eyes. I added two plus two and found the connection.

My eyes widened in fear and I scrambled back on, what was this, silk bed sheets?! Man, was this guy rich or what! Even my own bed sheets were velvet, not silk. Silk is expensive here, and we have better things to do than to waste money on silk sheets when there could be people starving out there.

My fear dissipated at once and I glared darkly at the guy, whoever he was, demon or no, for wasting money on silk bed sheets. I mean, who would be so cruel as to waste money on that!

I sighed, thinking of Crewger. Crewger had been left on the streets with no food because of people who wasted money on silk bed sheets... I think.

Anyway, I wonder where Crewger is. Is he alright? Did this demon guy steal him away just like he did to me?

I lowered my eyes. As much as I would hate to put Crewger in danger, it would be really nice if he was here with me.

"Are you done with your musings? As entertaining as it is, I have better things to do than watch a little girl argue with herself."

I huffed and looked at him straight in his crimson eyes. His eyes held a myriad of emotions- laughter (stupid jerk, laughing at people's ignorance...), pain (whatever it was that caused it I'm sure he deserved it!), sadness (strange thing for a person like him to have for a feeling, humph!), and... longing?!

"What the hell?" This time I was really scared; the only suitors I had ever had had been two old men that were way too old for me, even my parents had seen that. They had left me with directions to the retirement wing.

Also, those suitors had never been in the least way handsome, and here was some beautiful demon boy who so happens to lust for me. Isn't my life perfect?

As those thoughts went through my mind I gave no thought to the thing he had mentioned before and flopped back on the bed. The silk itched my skin; strange, I know, but I was a strange girl.

As I made that movement I suddenly had a dizzy spell; probably the result of a whole day without food, or was that two days? How long had I been with this guy, anyway?

When I lifted my head back up for a last glimpse of my captor, black dots danced in my eyes, so I wasn't entirely sure I saw concern in his crimson orbs as I fainted. But as I drifted off into unconsciousness, I felt sure that this boy was not one of the demons that murdered my family; a demon, maybe, but definitely not someone who helped murder my family.

Don't you like that chapter? Don't you? That's right, you do! Sorry I haven't updated in so long, but my efforts have been rewarded! I have gotten all A's!

-(does a happy little jig)-

Anyway, the uploading has gotten even weirder now! What am I going to do?! Waaa! It's just not fair!
