Chapter 9 I'm Not Your Guinea Pig

Hiei ran as fast as he could,all the way back to Rini's house.He had to get his mother's

tear gem back.He needed it more than he needed the answer to his confusion.He had just

arrived at her house,but something was amiss.He couldn't feel Rini's energy anywhere.Just

the night's breath blowing softly against him.He saw an open window and jumped right in.He

searched all through the house,but he couldn't find Rini anywhere. "Rabbit,where the hell are

you?" Hiei yelled to no one.He thought for a moment,and realized that he hadn't looked in Rini's

bedroom.When he entered her bedroom,he immedistly noticed a small puddle of blood on the

floor. "...rabbit?" He knew it was Rini's blood.He wasn't quite sure of it,but he knew he had

smelled it before.

Then something caught his eye,a glint that came from under the bed.He

reached under the bed,grabbed what he saw,and took it close to his face.He opened his

hand,and to his surprise,he saw his mother's tear gem. "But,why is it here?I couldn't have

possibly dropped it,I'm not that stupid...no matter." He got up and was about to go through the

window,when he saw a note on Rini's night stand.He picked it up and started to read out loud.

"To anyone who cares,we have taken the girl that lives here for secret reasons.She will never

return,so don't bother searching for her,you will never find her.Signed,nobody." Before Hiei put

the note down,he noticed that it had a distinct scent to it,a pungent scent to be exact.And that

scent wafted out the window.Hiei had no choice but to follow it.

The scent ran on for what seemed like miles.He ran all through the night following it.Then,it suddenly

came to a stop,right in front of a forest which contained a portal between the Nigenkai and the Makai.

Hiei assumed that this is where Rini was taken.He knew this forest quite well.It was full of traps and

thieves.If you weren't careful,you could get trapped forever.But Hiei didn't care about all that.He was

one of the best demons he knew,so he knew he wouldn't be in any danger what so ever.He entered

through a vine curtain,and began his search.

Meanwhile,where ever Rini was,she didn't know,because she was just opening her eyes,slowly,and

struggling.When she finally had her eyes open all the way,or at least most of the way,she knew,

somehow,she wasn't safe. "Good,you're awake.Guess we gave you more stuff than we thought."

"Unn...w..where am I...?" Rini asked very groggy. "Don't worry,you're in a safe place now.We'll protect

you here." "Where's here?" "No time for questions,time for you to meet the doctor." "...doctor...?"

Rini said with her eyes now fully open.She found herself in a strange place.It had all kinds of doodads

and wachamacallits,and almost everything was white.

Then a double door opened,and in came a man with purple hair and a long white labcoat.Rini tried to move,but she couldn't.She looked at her arms and legs,they were bound by metal clasps. "H..hey!What's going on?Lemme go!" Rini yelled. "Oh,you don't need to be going anywhere.Allow me to introduce

myself,I am Doctor Won.I will be performing tests on you today,Rini." "W..who are you?And how do you

know my name?What do you mean by tests?" Rini felt reason to fear this man. "Well you see,we met

once when you were very young.You are a very special child Rini.You are the moon princess,and your mother was the queen of the moon,Queen Serenity.That was many years ago.We knew this and we just couldn't pass up the opportunity."

"What the hell are you talking about? Rini asked confused. "Maybe you don't remember." Then.Doctor

Won pushed a button on a control pan,which sent a small shock of electricity to Rini.She screamed in

pain. "That's just a small sample of what we've been searching you for.You see the people of the moon

kingdom could live for 1,000 years.We wanted to know the secret to such imortality.So when you were

born,we captured you and your mother to figure it out.But something went horribly wrong with one of the

experiments,and you and your mother escaped.We never heard of your whereabouts since.But,thanks

to a tip from a random stranger,we finally found you.And now we will find out the secret to long life,and

the royal family's source of infinant power!" What are you gonna do to me? Rini asked frightened. "Oh

you'll see,or should I say feel.Throw the switch!" As soon as he gave the command,one of the lab

assistants threw a large switch on the control panel. "(...moon princess...?)" Rini thought to herself.
