I stared at the short creature in shock. I was kidnapped, alone, and utterly defenseless. I tried to move my legs but they felt like lead. I saw the creature's robotic eye twitch with amusement at my effort.
"Your legs are immobile due to the drug I gave you. So I wouldn't try running away." He gave a sharp toothy smile. I cringed.
"Don't worry Maya we wouldn't harm you in any way ever," Shinji said smoothly. "You see you're a very interesting person that we have found great curiosity in.
He reached his hand over to touch mine; I quickly withdrew it. Shinji just smiled. His eyes seemed brighter than usual as he stared at me. I began to feel a pushing inside my head. It felt like something was trying to force its way in. I tried to avert my gaze but my body was frozen. There was a sharp pain and I gasped. Right then Shinji released me from his gaze and frowned.
"Well?" Dr. Ichigaki pressed.
"There seems to be some sort of barrier in her mind. I cannot go any farther than the time she was about fifteen. It seems that she had a surprise for us."
"Can't you just break the wall?" The Doctor sounded impatient.
"I could but Maya may be a vegetable for the rest of her life."
I shivered.
"That fox must have put some kind of spell on her sealing off her memories; how troublesome." Dr. Ichigaki pulled out from his pocket a little hand held computer and began typing furiously.
"Yes, I do believe the fox demon did this. But it won't be a problem for long."
The Doctor looked up. "Oh?"
"I felt the wall built by Kurama's energy slowly slipping when I met Maya for the first time. As his energy faded another came. Maya's energy is slowly breaking the barrier."
I was puzzled.
"How could I be breaking the barrier, I'm only human?"
""Well, it's quite simple really. Barriers when built from energy without a seal will only last a few years. Without the barrier being coated with new energy it begins to decay. And in your case your own energy is hastening the crumbling of the wall."
I stared blankly.
"In other words your energy is breaking down the barrier. It's probably happening because of the amount of spiritual activity in the city. In a way the spiritual activity has given you a power boost."
I shook my head, "How could I make a barrier without myself knowing? I mean seriously wouldn't I have noticed myself doing that."
"It's hard to say. I think you were doing it unconsciously… possibly from thinking hard about wanting to see the memories."
I closed my mouth and became thoughtful. So was slowly breaking the barrier that guarded my memories.
"How peculiar, a girl who with energy strong enough to break barriers. How fascinating, I wonder what other abilities you can create."
He pulled out his weird hand held computer and began typing furiously, "We must run tests on her. If she could have the ability to break one barrier made by energy, imagine what…" He babbled on nonsense.
"I want to leave now."
"No, no my dear, I must run test first; the spiritual power you must have." His one real eye seemed to dilate with excitement. I felt the worst coming on.
"You are not running any test on me, let me leave!' I tried with all my might to move my legs but they only seemed to shake with effort. I could feel my throat tighten and my hands go clammy.
"Shinji leave. I must begin my work."
Shinji obliged and left silently, leaving the Doctor alone with me. He walked over to a cabinet and rummaged through its contents. It took a few seconds before he had what he wanted. The vile was a shade of blue and purple. Fear rose in my chest and a lump formed in my throat.
"You see, I didn't want to use this drug on you first. I realized that you had a strong six sense but now maybe you could sustain…" He went off babbling again.
I choked up my words, "What is that?" I was terrified to know the answer.
"Special drugs that will, in a sense, make you have a long nap."
My eyes widened as he reached into the drawer and pulled out a needle. "Wait!" I said hurriedly.
Time I need more time. Maybe Shuichi and the others will come maybe…
"What happened to the other humans?" I was stalling time hoping to plan an escape.
"Ah yes," he had his back towards me," You see I am intrigued by humans and their spiritual power, for example when I met Yusuke Urameshi. Ah, the energy, the power imagine what it would be like to have it at your will. I dreamt of owning that power; a human's power is based far more on its emotions than demons. I was curious and my curiosity led me to defeat; but I did not give up my dream. For you see I was found again by Shinji on the shores of some human beach, he help nurse me back to health and helped me build my eye and arm." He turned to me and flexed his arm for emphasis.
"I needed to run more experiments on people; Yusuke's power to overpower me was against all the odds… or so I thought." He turned back to the drawer. "So I continued my research by coming here to the city and getting my guinea pigs. I discovered that by taking out the spirit energy that few humans had you would get a pure and powerful substance."
The needle that Daiki had used in the fight flashed in my head. So that's what it was… human spirit energy.
"The power of human energy is astonishing. I wanted it for my own creations; Daiki is one example.
"So you steal human energy and kill the people why you're at it. You're sick."
The doctor laughed while he turned back to me with a tray of objects I had never seen.
"Dear girl I am a scientist not a humanitarian. People wouldn't hand over their energy, Ha! Some don't even know that they have it. But I know that by using the energy and making it your own to double you're power… ha-ha it's brilliant! Instead of training for years and months you could simply inject the power in you! I could make a bunch of super humans with an unlimited supply of spirit energy! All I would need is people!" He started to laugh uncontrollably nearly dropping the tray. I felt horrified by what he said.
Using humans as experiments to create his own super humans; all the while killing innocent people who shouldn't be involved. I have to tell the others. I tried moving my legs again this time moving at least one foot. Wait, where were the guys?
"Hey, where are Shuichi and the others?" I asked to the nearly dying from laughter doctor.
"Er-herm, of course how silly of me to forget about them. Your friends are, or I would imagine, searching for you high and low. Why take you all in when the game is just beginning. Ha! My creations against the feared Spirit Detectives! It shall be a fight to remember!"
"So you want to fight with the others?" Yup this guy was insane if he wanted to take a match with Yusuke.
"Why of course!" He sounded angry with my question. "I want my revenge; for humiliating me and nearly killing me. I will prove that science can beat their power."
So he's after revenge for the past… how original. I felt a little sorry for him though, just a little.
"Well enough with this chit chat and back to the project at hand. I will run a series of test to see what your power can break down. If your power can break down barriers in your body then perhaps maybe a poison or too can be repelled out."
"And if I die?"
"Oh well."
He walked over to me and set the tray on the stand. He pulled out a needle with the purplish blue color and was about to inject it in my arm…
"Doctor!" a voice sounded from the door where Shinji had exited. There stood a young girl no older then ten She had deep chocolate eyes and long, but thin, orange hair. She wore a yellow summer dress and was bare footed. She skipped over to the doctor and began bouncing up and down, "Doctor! Doctor! Doctor! Doc-"
"WHAT!"
"Shinji needs to speak with you! He said it's really important and he needs to see you right away!" She continued to bounce up and down.
"Always has the worst timing. I shall continue my testing later." He set his tools down and made his way across the room and stopped, "Don't worry dear I will be back shortly"
I wanted to say "Go to hell" but the hyperactive girl started yelling in that split second to me, "Hi! You must be Maya! My name is Suzu! It's nice to finally meet you, you're so pretty and you have nice hair! What's your favorite color mine is orange! Do you like pie? I love pie! Do you have any brothers or sisters! I don't but I wished I do. Hey you know what we can be sisters! Not really, since we're not related, but ya know like um… um… not related sisters! We could be bestest friends! Hey ya wanna hear some cool facts? Did you know that you eat eight to nine spiders in a life time! Eww that's so gross but ya gotta wonder how they get into your mouth without you knowing! Hey did you know-"
"Suzu, SILENCE!!!" Doctor Ichigaki hollered at the hyper girl. She shut her mouth quickly and bowed her head in shame.
"Come along Suzu, I wouldn't doubt that Shinji has everyone else gathered already." He said impatiently and strode out the door. The girl stood for another minute then turned herself to me.
"It was really nice meeting you! I'm sure the others will love you!"
"Others?"
"Yeppers!" There are a whole bunch of us!" she giggled and skipped to the door, "Buh-bye now!" The door closed with a loud click and a turning of a key.
