Blinding light flashed behind closed eyes, forcing them open in shock. Disoriented, the girl's long lashes fluttered as her pupils adjusted painfully. She could see white blurs hovering around her. When she moved to shift her head, restraints kept it in place.

Her dainty wrists rose in panic, which escalated even more when she found that, they too, were held down. Beneath her, the feeling of cool of metal seeped through whatever vesture she donned. Metallic clanking rang in her ears as every part of her struggled to escape the imprisonment. After a few minutes of this her body collapsed against the harsh surface, chest heaving in pants of exhaustion.

Bang! If she had been able, her petite form would have surely jumped several feet at the startling sound. She strained her vision, now slightly clearer, to see a middle aged man, wearing a stark lab coat, make his way through a large metal doorway. What used to be large white blurs, she now knew were multiple men and women in identical lab coats. Were they doctors? Scientists?

"What is the latest progress report?" his deep voice asked one of the other 'white coats'.

"Sir, subject #249, a.k.a. Kagome Higurashi, has recently regained consciousness 7.36 as of minutes ago. She shows no signs of any effects similar to those of previous subjects at stage three following the injection of serum #76. Though, 8.75ml is nearly twice the amount the largest dose we've tested before." The white coat paused to readjust his glasses. "In fact, Sir, there have not been any noticeable changes in her body. However, the serum is still present in her bloodstream. The time elapsed after initial administration is currently, --" Another pause, this time to glance at his timer.       " --50.26.53.81 hours."

Unfazed at this new information, Jeb reached down to place his large hand on the girl's cheek. The moisture building in her large chocolate eyes brimmed over with the strangled whimper that escaped her trembling lips. His gruff thumb swiped below her left eye to clear away the tear.

"Good, she is progressing as expected." Jeb could see the fear festering on Kagome's face. "After I leave, inject two regular doses of serum #154, then put her under for the next 72 hours." he instructed.

Another voice interjected at their colleague's nod. "Jeb, you know that formula hasn't passed the initial trials. You can't just test it on such a valuable subject!" Finally, Kagome mustered the strength to bring forth her own scratchy voice.

"Where am I?" She sounded weary at first, but then-- "What have you done to me?" her vocals squeaked as their volume rose.

"Kagome, darling, you are here to help advance humanity, for the greater good." Jeb explained vaguely with sugarcoated words. Her infamous temper boiled, her powers heating with it.

"Who the hell are you!" she shouted, then paused to search the room once more. All other movement of the white coats ceased. They all looked at her, lying vulnerable on the steel table.

"Kagome, my name is Je--" All sound came mute to her ears, and before her she no longer saw the white lab, but a replay of her last memory. "--This facility you're in is the Sch-- "

"Where's Fang?" she demanded. Clanking flooded the room again. The force she tugged made the cuffs rub her limbs raw.

"Where. IS HE! What have you done to him!?" Her eyes narrowed into slits. Banshee shrieks burst eardrums as her body seized against the restraints. "LET ME GO! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HIM!" Kagome's body twisted, bruising her wrists with each movement. She grew even more rampant, forcing Jeb and the other white coats back in shock.
