That evil sharp toothed grin taunted her. The blond elf held a clump of her hair in his fist to keep her head up after she was exhausted from the surgery she had and was forced to watch. "What's wrong Yuki?," the Elf asked with a gleeful tone, "Are you giving up already? We can't have that."
The cold bodied female only gasped for air and hissed from pain of him holding her head up by her hair, he held her chin up with a gloved hand. He let her hair go.
His green eyes had an evil glint in them, "You have work to do, you and Shiro both."

(Y/n) felt his hot breath against her cheek, she tried to pull away from the blond. He gripped her face harder, "No, You haven't earned a rest yet. I want to see what your power is like."
The female panted heavily from her exhaustion, her screaming and struggling had worn her out. Her eyes were empty and reddened by tears.
"Oh, that expression of yours is quite endearing. I kind of want to see what other expressions you can make.," Elf cooed, "Your pretty face makes it even better."
She weakly reached up and grabbed his wrist. Ice formed on his hand and he pulled away, causing the young woman to fall.
The cold bodied female gasped as she struggled to get up, she felt a weight on her back.
"That kind of hurt.," Elf's voice said and the female could hear his wicked smile.

She felt more pressure be applied to her back and she was pressed into the floor, "How deliciously pathetic you look, but how fortunate that you are under our care. You will be better than what you were before."
Elf patted her head and pressed more weight onto her.
"Go on, get up and attack me again... What would Shiro think of seeing you as a monster?," the malicious male asked, "Although, you and I were already monsters to begin with. We are the same."
"I'm... nothing like... you. You elfish bastard.," (y/n) was able to wheeze out as Elf pulled at her hair again.
"I like it when they are fiesty.," she heard the green eyed male titter and pulled her up to a standing position, "I forgot that you were taller than me."
(Y/n) looked to the now empty table, "Shiro..."
"Don't worry, he's still alive. Now move.," The elf ordered her and made her move forward to a cell with a mangled bloody body inside.

"Shiro!," (y/n)'s hoarse voice called to the weakened male, he lifted his head as the cell door was opened and the female was thrown in.
"I'll leave you two alone for a bit, I'll be back though for your testing Yuki~," the Elf said and waved as he walked away.
(Y/n) crawled over to the weakened Shiro and touched his faced, he sharply drew in a breath.
"Your skin is colder than a breeze now.," he gasped out, "My body feels like it's on fire though... so it's okay."
The female's eyes stinged as more tears fell on the male and she embraced him, "I'll Protect you Shiro... I'll protect you. I don't want to see you hurt anymore."
She felt his hand press against her cheek, he was warmer than usual but still comforting.
"You have.. you have protected me for so long... I want to protect you.," the male said up to her as she cradled him, "Just promise to smile for me. Your smile is so beautiful."

The cold bodied female looked down to the metal where his legs used to be and clutched his torso tighter to hers, he tightly embraced her back.
Shiro's warmth bore onto her mind, they both were exhausted from the surgeries and blood loss they went through.
(Y/n) fought to keep herself awake from the effects of anemia on her body.
She was weak and succumbed to the need for rest.
"I promise that I will be the one to protect you this time.," Shiro said and lifted his head to the sound of approaching footsteps.

-

(Y/n) fell off of her couch and bumped her head against the table, "Owww."
She rubbed the bump on her head and stretched, she felt that she was not alone and looked over to see Jyugo and the others there.
"Nightmare?," the Japanese male asked, "Was it about Elf?"
"How did...,"The female asked before Uno piped up.
"You sleep talk, scream would be more accurate.," Uno said and pointed to her, "You were calling out for Shiro quite a lot."
"It must have been scary the way you were screaming.," Nico said, "We were worried, Rock was ready to fight someone if you were being attacked."
The Mohawk haired American rubbed his head with a bit of a grin.

"Seitaro let us come to check on you since Hajime is not here yet.," Uno said, "He was relieved to hear that it was just a nightmare."
"You kind of scared the whole cell block with your screaming.," Rock said, "The other guys in the next cell over were really creeped out."
(Y/n) drooped her head down, "I'm sorry. I did not mean to disturb anyone."
"Hey, it's fine. It's just Seitarou had to go tell everybody that it was just you having a bad nightmare.," the British male said, "I'm wondering what it was."
"It was the torture and modification of your body, wasn't it?," Jyugo asked.
The cold bodied female nodded sadly.
She sat onto the couch and held her head in her hands, her shoulders shook as she cried.
"Yukino-chan, is something wrong?," Nico asked, "Why are you crying?"
"I could not protect them. Mom and dad were attacked by inmates that were affected by Elf, Shiro is gone.," (y/n) explained in a shaky voice, "I'm trying my best to keep it together, but the nightmares grate on my sanity. I'm afraid to even leave this prison because of how much protection we have here."

"Holy shit.," Rock said.
"Have you told Hajime or anyone else?," Uno asked.
"Not at all. You four are the first I told.," the cold bodied female responded, "I'm scared that Elf might send someone to catch me to continue to experiment on me. I don't want to go through that again."
Jyugo sat next to her, "Nobody would. But you were fortunate enough that the Elf bastard decided to let you go."
"I wonder why that was though.," Uno pondered, "The way you described that freak, there is no way he would let someone like you or Yukino go without a specific reason."
(Y/n) wiped the tears from her eyes, "I don't know why either."
Her phone buzzed on her desk, she got it and looked on the screen.
It was from her father, her mother died from her injuries and he was not expecting to live long as his was extensive as well.
Her hand covered her mouth and she stumbled backwards onto the couch.
"My office is closed... please leave.," the female said but the males began to argue.

The room became ice cold, "LEAVE ALREADY!"
Her sudden shift in mood startled the males and they left quickly.
She did not realize that she jumped up from her seat and fell back down onto the couch, the walls were covered in ice by her small burst of Rage. She felt bad for yelling at the boys but she did not want to be seen at the moment, she needed to cry and she did not like to be seen when she cried.
(Y/n) heard the doorknob rattle after a while, Hajime called from the other side.

"Did you lock the door?," He asked.
The female looked over with reddened eyes and saw the door was frozen shut.
"Unlock this now.," Hajime called.
"It's not locked.," the female replied hoarsely, "It's frozen."
"Why the hell is it frozen?," the supervisor asked before kicking the door in and looked around the office a the ice covered walls, "Oh."
(Y/n) was hugging her legs to her chest as she sat on the couch.
Hajime walked over and looked down a her with crossed arms, "Did those punks do something?"
"No. Elf did.," the female said and raised her phone so the bald man could see the goodbye her father sent.
"Bastard.," Hajime scowled, "You're going to report this, right?"
"I have to.," (y/n) said and got up, "But I have to clean this up first."
The female pulled her hand across the walls to pull the ice off carefully as Hajime left to go back to his paperwork, "Oh, Yukinohana, you should Refrain from sleeping in your office. You have a dorm back at headquarters. You're spending more time here and other buildings than your room."
The female only gave him a silent nod as he left.

It took her about twenty minute to put all of the ice into a ball for her to carry. The ball was heavy but it was good weight training for her to take out to throw into the waters around the prison before going to building four, she was called to the underground cells for her weekly chat with Musashi. It was not really a therapy session but a way to learn more about each other and bond a bit, Musashi was wrongly imprisoned for a crime he did not do and was more of a civilian in Nanba now.
Kenshirou let (y/n) talk to him because they both were victims of Elf.
The cold bodied female looked up to the building before walking in when she got there.
She entered and was immediately greeted by Hitoshi, the young man in a dress greeted her warmly and was bombarded with questions.
She patiently answered what she could as they walked to the underground cells. The female became quiet as they approached.

"Hitoshi, why are you back down here?," the raspy voice of Musashi asked, "You're going to get yelled at again."
"I know, but you have a visitor.," the bubbly young guard replied.
"Ice girlie is here?," the fiery male asked, "It's been a week already?"
(Y/n) walked into the cell after Hitoshi opened it, she sat on the pillow she usually did and Musashi set his book down.
"You feel different than last week.," the German male said, "You feel sort of gloomy."
"Something happened Musashi.," the female repsonded, "I wanted to speak with you about it today. Since you went through the exact same thing all those years ago."
Musashi's body tensed and straightened up, "(y/n), what happened?"
"My parents... they were killed by Elf.," the cold bodied female responded with a clear but hollow voice, "There was a riot that happened last night and my parents tried to quell it, but They were ultimately mortally wounded. Dad texted me his goodbye this morning."

She saw Musashi's mouth contort into a rage filled grimace, "Bastard."
"I don't know what to feel. I'm angry but at the same time sorrowful, so many emotions that could be that I don't know what.," (y/n) said and saw a cup of tea be put on front of her by Hitoshi, "Oh, thanks."
"Are you going to tell the warden and Inu-chan?," Musashi asked.
"I have to. That bastard is not going to escape justice.," the young woman took the cup and cooled the tea before taking a sip, "You and Jyugo might have a few new friends to speak with. They are being transferred in soon."
"That was a quick subject change.," Musashi chuckled, "But tell me more."
The female took another drink from the tea, "Well, they are coming in from the women's prison as they are both males. Both have signs as to having powers like us."
Musashi put his cup down, "Powers?"
"Yes. I wanted to tell you about it." (Y/n) spoke, "I forgot until I saw the women's prison warden yesterday."
The fiery male had a face that said he was a little surprised.

"Wow, I hope they are like you and Jyugo, Musashi.", Hitoshi said cheerily.
"That's a rather large hope, Hitoshi.," both of the experiments said in unison.
The feminine guard pouted, "I can still wish for it."
(Y/n) laid her head on the table, "One doesn't seem like he'd be easy to deal with, the other looks to be a sweetheart."
"Are you okay girlie?," the tanned German asked, "Are ya getting sick because of my heat again?"
"No, I'm just emotionally and physically exhausted from everything that has been happening.," (y/n) replied, "And Musashi, you have permission to use my first name."
Musashi nodded with a small smile, "Sure, (y/n)."
The female nodded and picked her head up when she heard dog paws click on the floor.
The dogs that were building four guards were doing their rounds again.
She watched the dogs stroll by with their tails wagging behind them.
One of the dogs barked at Hitoshi to get out of the cell, the younger male did as asked and left with the dogs.

"Hitoshi is a nice kid, but I'm afraid he's not really a good fit to work here.," Musashi chuckled, "I think he likes to be around me because of my body heat."
"Probably so.," (y/n) said and picked up the cup to drink again, "Anything new with you?"
"Not really, just the same things. But I got a new book.," the male responded.
The female nodded, "What is this one about?"
"This one is about plants and their medical uses, I got a bit interested after talking to Qi.," The fiery haired male said with a smile, "He is a very interesting fellow."
"He is. But he is a good man, even with his faults.," the female said.
Musashi raised his hand and pointed to the female, "What about you? Besides the message this morning, have any new thoughts or Anything?"
"I wanted to get back into the dating scene.," (y/n) replied and Musashi choked on his tea.

"Dating?," He asked, "No offense, but I don't really see you dating anyone."
"It is a stretch but I want to get past my first heartbreak and open myself up to a new beginning, one with someone I love.," the cold bodied female replied, "Shiro was the only one I loved for years and I never got to tell him, I don't even know if he would have loved me back the way I loved him."
Musashi smiled, "I think he would have. You are a kind person and very pretty from what I heard, you can find someone who is right for you."
"Thanks Musashi. But I think you'd have more luck in the dating scene than I would.," the cold bodied female laughed, "You have intelligence, charm and are cuddly with your warmth. I am not like that."
"You do have your own good qualities.," Musashi replied, "I'm sure you can think of them."
"You're right.," (y/n) said with a bit of a smile, "Thanks. I am a beautiful Ice user and I have the confidence and intelligence to make this happen."
"There ya go!," the fiery male said with a wide grin, "You can do it, just like you reminded me that I can do things still as well."

"We are the same after all.," the female said, "I'm both spirit and history."
"We experiments stick together.," the male added and held his hand out, "We're family now. Sister."
(Y/n) took his hand, it was like a wildfire was coming from his hand.
Musashi felt the ferocity of a blizzard from her hand.
They both quickly let go of the other's hand.
"Agree to never do that again, Aniki?," (y/n) asked.
Musashi nodded, "Only if there is an emergency."
