Prologue

She felt strangely numb, and, yet, she had complete control over her senses. The faint hum of strange machines all around her reached her ears before anything else as she slowly awoke from her stupor. A heavy metallic taste washed over her tongue and down her throat as something sharp pricked into the smooth flesh of her right arm. A cloth wiped at the spot prodded before what was there was removed.

She kept her eyes sealed shut as the figure toying with her arm trailed down their fingers down to her wrist, obviously checking at her pulse.

"I know you are awake, Miss Higurashi." A voice, thick with a foreign accent, filled her head and she let out a low groan. Soon pain washed over her and she felt a wave of nausea come over her. "Do not worry- you pulled through every experiment beautifully. You're extremely lucky, be happy."

Kagome stopped breathing for a few seconds at hearing the rest of his words. "E-Experiments?" She asked, her voice hoarse and quiet, "what experiments?"

"Do not speak with fear," she felt as a large hand pressed to her forehead, and she cringed backwards into the metal table she laid upon. "I made you better. I improved you. I fixed you."

"Don't touch me," she snapped, eyes as blue as blue fire finally opening. She met his eyes with a freezing glare even though her voice was still weak. "I didn't need to be fixed."

"Oh dear, you just do not understand, do you?" He frowned and took a step back, watching with dark blue eyes as the girl on the table struggled to try and free her arms and legs. "Tsk, tsk, such a shame," he shook his head slowly. "Hopefully you will soon come to understand."

Kagome froze suddenly and tightened her hands into small fists. "What did you do to me?" She demanded.

"You will know in due time."

"Tell me now," she persisted.

"You are still weakened from the last few days." He shook his head again, "even if you did learn now, you would only have to be told again when you fully regain your bearings. There is no point." He approached her once more, picking up a syringe off of a metal table beside her. "This will put you to sleep so I may have you transferred to your room without having to worry about you leaving so soon or injuring yourself."

"Don't you touch me with that!" Kagome screamed and struggled against her binds, her throat protesting the sudden loud outburst. "Somebody, please, help me!"

"Everything will be fine," he continued as he cleaned off her arm, sticking the syringe in her heavily bruised flesh. "You'll be asleep very soon, just calm down." He pressed the plunger on the other end of the syringe, injecting the clear liquid into her bloodstream.

Kagome ignored his words and kept tugging against the binding that held her down. A few seconds passed by before she felt her eyelids begin to droop. She fell still as she felt what little bit of her consciousness fade away from her.
