YAY! Been looking forward to this chapter ALL WEEK LONG! X3 So stoked for this one. Rin makes her official appearance as well as IA and Meiko too~!

If you notice many minor typos/mistakes it is my cupcake's fault. You see while writing this, I was eating a cupcake, which made my hands all sticky, naturally I became enraged at my cupcake for ruining my key board and decided to throw it away. But then I came to my senses and realized what a horrible crime that would be to throw away a perfectly good cupcake. So I kept eating it. Hence, sticky key board.

Anyways I hope you enjoy as much as a cupiecake~!

"Are you kidding me!" The scientist with long green hair screams at the male scientist with dark blue hair.

"…no , subject one has attempted suicide."

Lilly sweeps a stack of papers off of her desk violently.

"How do you believe we should continue?"

After careful consideration, she stands up and announces her decision to everyone in the room. "Merge them. Two per cell. We can't have them killing themselves."

"But-"

"Are you disobeying a direct order ?"She says with a sharp glare.

"No miss. Merge them!" He calls behind him to his assistants.

"God dammit." He mutters under his breath as he walks after them down the hall.

The cell door of a blonde girl is opened, stirring her from light sleep. Realizing who it is at her door, she leaps up, taking a defensive stance.

Without second consideration, two gun shots echo throughout the cell. She collapses to the floor like paper, and is dragged out violently. The door to another cell just down the hallway is opened and the child, bloody and battered, is tossed inside. The moment she smashes into the ground she springs up, ready to run head first into the blue haired man, but only mere seconds before she would have made contact with him, the door is slammed in her face and she ends up coming crashing to the ground.

"God that hurt." She says rubbing her forehead. A small whimpering sound causes her to turn around. She notices that its night, first off, and second off, a shadowy figure is in the corner of this room.

"Hello?"

The figure tenses at her words, bringing her arms over her face defensively.

"I'm not going to hurt you, unless you hurt me first." She replies with a certain tone of harshness at the end.

"H-h-how do I know you're not lying?" The girl mutters.

"I'm not the type to lie." She moves towards this figure, causing her features to become more defined. She is taller than the blonde girl, she has relatively long, teal hair pulled into twin pony tails. Her body is twig thin, and her eyes have dark purple circles under them. Her lips are a soft pink and her skin is ghastly pale. The paper thin white dress is stained with dry blood.

The blonde girl with red eyes walks up to this new person and bends down in front of her. The teal haired girl flinches, and clenches her eyes closed.

"Don't hurt me!" She screams.

"Sheesh I thought we already went over this. I won't." She outstretches a hand to this cowering girl. "I'm Rin. Rin, hell spawn."

Miku stares at her hand blankly, but relaxes.

Rin waits patiently as the timid girl puts her hand gently on top of her open palm.

"M-miku."

"Nice to meet you Miku. Now let's figure out a way out of here." She says with a gentle light hearted smile.

~ ~ ~X~ ~ ~X~ ~ ~

Len hears muffled and soft speaking from Miku's room, so he silently crawls over to the wall, placing his ear against it.

Unexpectedly the door to his cell flies open, and something resembling a rag doll is thrown, literally thrown, through the air. It collides with the wall, making a noise like that of a mouse squeaking.

The scientist Len hates the most stands in the doorway.

"LILLY!" He hisses, charging forward. A bullet bursts through his stomach, propelling him backwards. The woman shuts the door.

Len spews obstinacies while standing and holding the wound in his stomach.

"… w-w-where is this?" A very, very soft female voice says. Len whips around only to see another person.

A girl, almost half of his size, with ungodly long almost white hair, is standing in a perfectly white dress, just in front of the window.

"Who are you?" The girl turns to look at him with piercing red eyes.

"…Len voice?" The girl questions, making a b-line for the boy. Once in front of him, she pulls on the bottom of his shirt and studies his face.

Suddenly disinterested she turns to the window, and squints.

"The sky… is bright."

"Bright? What are you talking about its practically pitch black in here! If it wasn't for the moon then-" Suddenly he realizes. This poor, crumbled little girl, has never seen the sky in day, or night.

"You're the girl with no name? But you're so… small and…. young."

She turns back to him, eyes still squinted.

"Are you sure you're real?" She asks.

"Yeah."

She walks forward, placing a hand on his stomach. Being so small, she has to reach up to do this. Len blushes slightly.

"Huh." She says quizzically. "It's real."

The small girl suddenly sits down right where she is and stares up at Len.

"Come down now okay?" The young girl says, pulling on his pant leg. Len sits down in front of her.

Unsure what to do, Len just stares at this child.

"How old are you?"She shrugs and begins to unravel a loose string on her dress. Len laughs slightly. "Don't do that, you'll ruin it." He takes her by the wrist gently and moves her hand.

"Okay Len voice."

"Just Len."

"Len."

"What should I call you?"

She shrugs again, and plays with a small strand of her pale hair.

"How about… Lia?"

"No… I don't like it. No L."

"How about just –ia then?" Len says jokingly, but the small girl took it literally.

"IA is fine." She says with a large smile. Len smiles back, placing a hand gently on top of her head.

Within less than an hour IA was asleep, curled up in Len's lap with her head resting on his arm, which he left under her, even though it was falling asleep.

He moves over to the wall.

"Miku? You awake? I thought I heard voices and-"

"LEN!" A familiar voice cries.

"Rin?" He whispers quietly, avoiding waking up IA.

"Len! Thank god, I didn't- I didn't know- I- I- oh my god Len!"

"Sheesh don't cry about it, I'm right here."

"Len is this the Rin you were talking about?" Miku asks.

"Yes! Yes it is!"

Miku smiles.

"She's really nice." Miku says. Neither of the twins were aware that Rin was the first person Miku has seen in the past ten years that hasn't wanted to kill her.

"How is it working?" A woman named Meiko asks, with her feet up on her desk.

"Seems to be going good." Kaito responds, flipping through the files of the seven year old immortal girl.

"Can't believe one of 'em went and tried it. She must have been really miserable!" She says, throwing her arms up in a wild explosion-type gesture.

"So what's next?" Kaito asks her.

"Not sure. Lilly is thinking of starting more vigorous testing. Thinks that the day may be closer than expected."

"Huh." He replies, now slightly disinterested. He opens a can of soda and takes a sip.

"Would be better with ice cream..." He trails of quietly, with a slight frown.

KAITO YOU MONSTER! YOU NO DESERVE ICE CREAM AFTER THE HELL YOU PUT THESE CHILDREN THROUGH! (This scene has been edited from its original ice cream containing scene to this simple soda scene, because I think everyone can agree, KAITO DOESN'T DESERVE ICE CREAM NOW!

Wow I really went on about ice cream didn't I...?

Oh well.

^-^ ~!
