Chapter 5 ~{(Now your my test subject)}~

It was dark... nothing but darkness for miles. I wrapped myself tight wandering around. "Hello?" I shout, but my voice traveled to nothing. The darkness swallowed all hope and gave a whole new sensation of fear, wrapping around me. I shivered afraid of what might happen in the miles of darkness. It was as if the more fear I felt, the more I felt a rush of cold shiver throughout the inside of my body. Out of nowhere I can hear a faint call of my name. "Is someone here?"

I ran a little bit until I found a light. Relieved to finally find a house, even if it was just a single house with one lamp post, it was a place to hide. I quickly opened the door and shut it tight behind me. I pant and sit up. "Ah there you are Mayura." My eyes widen as I see the creepy Professor standing with his his arms open wide.

"Stein!" I shout wait a minute... I look over and there was me again, only she looked a lot like me now, just a bit young. Maybe 15... She ran over to hug him. "I missed you." She blushed.

"I Missed you too." He let go to look at me. "So?" and She tilted her head to one side. "How was your first day?"

"Oh..." She giggled lightly. "It was amazing, everyone seemed nice, but I didn't talk to anyone. I was afraid to." He patted my head softly.

"It's alright, but I need to tell you something." She stepped away from him and smiled.

"Yeah okay, what is it?" He sat down in a chair behind him and sighed. Young Mayura looked confused and walked up to him putting her hands around his face and pulled it up to look at him. "you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." He leaned back having her trip forward and she fell into him. He laughed a little bit and helped her on her feet. "Mayura..." He whispered and a tint of red beamed acrossed his nose. "I'm really sorry to do this to you..."

"Do what to me?"

"We can't continue this anymore, I might do something dangerous, and I don't want to chance that with you. You mean a lot to me." She turned around.

"Oh so I guess I was just your test subject." I walked over to look at her and she had a couple of tears coming down.

"No you mean so much more to me than that, but the more we begin this, the more I can feel what it means."

"See! you're close to discovering what it means. I can't leave you, Don't ask me to leave!" She had faced him now her tears coming down fast and the plea in her voice almost sounded like she was in love with him.

"Mayura..." He placed his hands on her shoulders. " I want you to know that I..." he hesitated. "I want you to know that I... I ..."

"You're really close, come on Stein, just say the words, I know you want to say it to me. There's no possible way you can be..." He forcibly pulled her in crushing their lips together. I scrutinized. Oh no way, please tell me this creepy guy wasn't my first kiss. She leaned into him letting him take control.

He through her down on the couch and climbed on top of her pinning her hands down above her head. His hand came down shakily and trailed up her shirt. She let out a small moan and I blushed. Wow really? This happened?

"Stein..." She cooed. His eyes widen and he let her go grabbing his head in a tight grip.

"I'm Sorry Mayura." He looked embarrassed of his actions. "I can't do this."

"You are so close, and I told you from the start I wanted to help you, You can do anything you want to me, just please." She reached her hand out and he flinched under her touch. Sad she pulled away from him.

"No, I can't risk that on you... I'm sorry, but I've talked to Lord Death." Her eyes widened.

"I thought you and I living together was a secret? Why did you tell him..."

"I only told him that you needed a place to live." He interrupted. Her eyes grew and the sadness was taking over again. "That's where you need to be. When you were freed, you were free to do anything, go anywhere, be friends with whoever you wanted. I took you in, like you were just some kind of lab rat, but you are so much more than that." Her face was now streaked with tears. "I want you to experience the things you couldn't. Not here with me, locked up."

"I'm not locked up, I'm free here, I want to only be friends with you. I want to be only with you. For the five years away from that place, I've only ever known you, and that's all I wanted." She blushed.

"No..." He calmly stated. "Now please..." Her cheeks puffed up and she smacked him across the face.

"Now please just what?" She snapped. "Leave?" She got up and threw her fists down. "That's fine, I don't need to be around you do I?" She turned her back. "Fine, we'll have it your way... but just remember, later down the road you're going to regret what your doing now." She cried.

"What protecting you from me?"

"No..." She looked over her shoulder. "You're protecting yourself from me." She walked out the door and I looked back to her and when she opened the door there was a bright flash of light outside now.

"No wait!" I shout running to catch up to her. I reached my hand out and I fell into the light.

I fell out of bed and onto my face. "Ow ow ow ow." I say sitting up rubbing my face. Was that really a dream? Or was that my memory. Well whatever it was, It sounds like what Stein had told me yesterday. He did that on purpose. I sit up tightening my fist. That jerk! He was unlocking my memories with things I've said, things he's done, and by the chill in his voice.

I can't believe I was... My face heated up. I shook it off. No, I couldn't be... the more I was thinking about it, the more the present me was starting to feel it. Wow, my past is really trying to catch up to me, but no matter, tomorrow I have a hang out day with Kid, and I could use this to my advantage.

I chuckled to myself, yeah he's really going to regret this isn't he? I looked over to the clock and finally noticed the time. "Oh no!" I quickly got dressed and ran out the door. As I was sprinting to school, I just realized what I was just thinking. Why the hell do I care what he regrets, as long as the me in this form doesn't remember or want anything to do with him, then it really didn't matter. I finally get to the school and jumped over desks to get to my seat.

"Good morning." So the torture begins. I put my head down and groan.

(A whole class day later)

"Ah finally!" I say reaching my hands up in the air as the bell rings. Kid walks over and smiles to me. "Hey." I say looking away from.

"Hi." He greets.

"Wow Kid, that's impressive. She's been here longer than any of us, and you're the first person to get her to talk... what did you do?" Soul grins, and I roll my eyes.

"Oh please, it was just a hi." I mumble. He turned fully to look at me. "What?"

"I don't know, but there's definetly something different about you." I felt my face get hot and my eyes grew. I turned my head and got up from my desk.

"Well I'll see you tomorrow then." Kid says going out the door, and his to retarded weapons follow after him.

"Wait what does that mean?" Soul and Maka follow him out the classroom door. Like hell it was any of their business. I looked over at Professor. He had heard that and was staring at me. I waited until everyone had left to go up and talk to him.

I get up and glare at him. "Yes? Can I help you Miss Mayura?" I let my fist go and he caught it. He glowered down and grinned wider. "Now what did I do?"

"You know exactly what you did." He lifted his chin, but held on tightly to my hand.

"Oh..." His face was now eye level with me. "Did you happen to unlock another memory?" I quickly pulled away and he fell on top of me. I noticed a tint of red beam across his nose, he gets up quickly and coughs in his hands.

"What was that?" He looked at me. "I didn't think adults did stuff like blush." I chuckle at him.

"Anyway..." He says interrupting my outburst. "So what exactly did I do?"

"Oh..." right I was angry with him. "It seems like I'm your little experiment aren't I? You're taking things from my past and either unlocked it with actions or words. You remember what I said yesterday? That's what I told you before I left to my apartment. Alone." I growled.

"Hm... it seems you've remembered."

"Yeah..." I raised an eyebrow. "I remember some things."

"Oh so do you remember what you told me before you walked out my door?" I blushed, I didn't remember that much... but I'm pretty sure it had something to do with what he did to me.

"You can't be so calm about this, you're the one who almost raped me." He was still and I looked at him. He pinned me against the wall. I gasped. His face that much closer to mine. I could feel my heart beating out of control, and a rush of heat everywhere, electricity where he touched my wrists, and the heat of his breath rolling down his tongue.

"I didn't." He stated calmly. "But I wanted to so badly. I was a bit more Naive about that, but you don't know how much since you've left I wanted nothing more than you to come back to me. There was something in me that was holding me back, and now I have finally unlocked what was missing. You were always the key for me." I could feel the sting in my heart.

"Then why let me leave?" I say calmly. "Why did you watch me leave? Why didn't you stop me?"

"It was because you left I felt the pain of loving someone." My eyes widen. I squirmed to get away, but his grip on me was much stronger. " I had to let you go, you had to mature a little more too, You were 15 and wanting me to..." He stopped and pulled his glasses off.

"Just let me go!" He flinched and I jumped out of the way. What was that? There was a spark of energy in me, not like the aches in my heart like before, but like a weapon pulse. Was I reacting to him.

"I'm sorry." He pushed his glasses back. "Forget everything I've said." He turned his back away from me.

"What so these memories mean nothing?" He was silent. "They mean nothing to me." I say coldly. "You toy with me, and play with me like I'm some kind of lab rat. I'm not your puppet Stein." He turned to look at me and I smirked. "Professor." I corrected myself. "But, just so you know... because you gave up on me..." I can't believe I was playing into his lies now. "I'm going on a date with Kid tomorrow." His eyes grew. "I'll catch you later." I ran out of the classroom, and began to head home.

I got inside quickly and locked the door behind me. If he wants to make up lies to make me fall for him, then fine. I wasn't going to buy the lies, I was just going to use them against him. "Professor, now you're my test subject."
