ShadowDmn: I don't own any yu yu characters…wish I did, that would be AWESOME! **This chapter has been revised and edited. Working on the others! Enjoy!**
Chapter 1:
Whimpers of pain came from a room that was stark white and sterile, like a hospital room. However nothing that was in the room had anything to do with healing anything, quite the opposite. This is where they did the experiments on their test subjects. Scientists. They were messing with genetics. Making mutations. They made over a hundred mutations yearly, unfortunately most died within the first weeks or months if they were lucky. So far only three were successful, one of which died from an unrelated illness contracted during the first few years of life. The other two were much older, and strong. They showed great potential and were healthy…for the most part. The whimpers came from a small figure in a cage; it looked to be a human female around 18 years old. Bandages wrapped around her torso tightly, blood seeping through the bandages. She had the ears, eyes, and tail of a feline. Her hair was white and dirty. It hung to her mid back, in a snarled mess. She could hear the voices of the people in lab coats talking about her.
"How did the implant surgery go? Any reactions so far?" a female voice said.
"It went well but we don't know if it will work, we will have to do more tests." A male voice went on, "What a pathetic creature...I'm surprised it lived this long…" a growl was heard from the neighboring cage. The man scowled at the other cage and stood in front of it. The creature inside lashed out and leapt to the bars fangs gnashing, as it continued snarling and growling. This specimen was also a Female creature around 18, but with dull, dirty black hair, in much the same unclean state as the other. Her eyes at the moment were ice blue with flecks of red, more red bled into her eyes as her rage took hold. She had wolf ears and a tail.
"What's this one's problem?" the man asked.
"She's been showing aggressive behavior to everyone who touches the other one, we think that its protective behavior but we have yet to pinpoint why." The woman stated, her tone showing her disapproval.
"Why not euthanize it then?" the man stood straighter scowling at the cage, disdain clear in his tone. The woman looked appalled at the idea.
"She's a perfect specimen, one of few successes we've had here. We can't just destroy her!" the woman huffed and left the room, the man gave one last glare and left the room leaving the creatures alone for the time being.
In Spirit World
Koenma was stamping papers left and right hardly even looking at what he was stamping it seemed. He was hard at work when a certain ogre rushed in shouting about urgent news and it needing immediate attention. Koenma's temple pulsed in anger and he turned and stamped the ogre's face with a stamp that said "Denied".
"What do you want ogre?" the ogre, George, flinched seeing stars for a moment after the stamping.
"W-well sir, it's urgent t-t-that you look at t-this file." George handed him a portfolio full of papers, his voice faltering with fear that he might be stamped again. Koenma sighed and took the folder and scanned it briefly, then his eyes widened and he re-read the contents to make sure that he read that right.
"Ogre tell Botan that she is to bring tentai to me immediately!" the ogre rushed out the door faster than he came in, grateful for the excuse to be away from the grumpy pint-sized ruler, but Koenma took no notice. He wondered how he missed something so horrendous happening in the Ningenkai for so long. How did he not know about this? He scowled sucking his pacifier, thinking about how to handle this one.
Back in the Lab
The girls had been asleep only a few hours when the scientists came in and sedated them before they had a chance to retaliate so they could take them for experiments. When they woke they were hooked up to endurance tests. The dark one woke to find she was chained to a treadmill hooded up to a machine that monitored her vitals. She saw a scientist and lunged only to get shocked. Her body jerked and she yelped caught by surprise. She had been through this before but she would never submit completely and if she could get a bite or two in before they beat her then she would, she didn't care. They were monsters, she knew this. Even though she was raised by their hands, she knew what they did was wrong. She bared her fangs to the man in a snarl. They jabbed her with a needle while she was distracted, as soon as they did, her blood was on fire. She felt like she was burning from the inside out. She knew what this was. They were forcing her into her other form. She heard screaming in the room, and was surprised when she realized it was her making that sound. Her body changed shape morphing and stretching, until in her place was a black wolf with one blue eye and one red eye. They turned the treadmill on and the wolf ran with it, knowing if she were to stop the machine she was on would shock her until she ran again.
The light one was being restrained in another room, she was in standing position her wrists and ankles tethered as they tested something in her back and they were also analyzing her body's regeneration, seeing how fast her wounds would heal. They did this by making incisions and timing her regeneration rate. She wasn't sure what the surgery was about the other day but she knew it couldn't be good. She hissed at them trying to bite or scratch but her restraints kept her from moving too much, and the scientists laughed at her attempts. One man jabbed a needle roughly into her side and smirked at her. She roared and lunged futilely at him, attempting to get her fangs around his arm. Her body started to feel heavy, and her hearing was muffled, as if there were cotton in them. She scowled, and pulled weakly at her restraints. Her vision swam and she swayed, objects became shadows as darkness crept into her vision, before finally going black as she lost consciousness.
Koenma's office
The spirit detectives all stood in front of the Prince of spirit world's desk, the toddler-formed ruler glanced around at each of them before addressing them. Yusuke's hair was messed up and he was in his pajamas, as was Kuwabara. Yusuke didn't look very happy, and Kuwabara looked like he was going to fall asleep. Kurama was only wearing pants and it looked like he had been dragged out of the shower, his flaming locks still damp and clinging to his face, neck and chest. He kept occasionally peeling stray locks from his face. Hiei looked the way he always did.
"This had better be good!" Yusuke yelled. Koenma glared at him irritated, his eyebrow twitching in a familiar way.
"I assure you Yusuke, that this is very important. There is something going on in the Ningenkai that I need you to deal with ASAP."
"In the human world? Is it another invasion?" Kuwabara asked worriedly, his sleep-fog temporarily clearing.
"Yeah, I've been waiting to kick some demon butt." Yusuke grinned, rubbing his palms together in anticipation, his mind wandering to how he would take his frustration out on said demons.
"No, I'm afraid not. It's much more complicated than that. There aren't any demons involved that I know of. Just humans. Understand that this is not an ordinary case and even we in spirit world aren't sure what's going on exactly." Yusuke frowned at this, nearly pouting at the idea of demon-bashing being a no-go. Kuwabara looked confused and lost, his fog returning and the hamster wheel in his mind not turning fast enough-perhaps the hamster was on strike. Kurama looked intrigued, it was not often that they had a case that didn't involve demons. He tilted his head curiously at Koenma, waiting for more information. Hiei, well he just seemed unsurprised and disinterested, leaning in a corner and glaring at the opposite wall.
Seeing that he wasn't going to be interrupted again, Koenma continued. "From what we have on file, we understand that there is an organization hidden in Kyoto that is doing experiments-"
"What do scientists have to do with the spirit world if they're all human?" Kuwabara interrupted. Koenma's eyebrow twitched and his temple pulsed, he contemplated using his stamp on Kuwabara, but decided against it.
"They are doing experiments on other humans, most likely against their will!" he shouted. The group looked surprised. Kurama was the next to speak up.
"Do you know what kind of experiments?" Koenma sighed tiredly.
"Unfortunately, no. We have no clue. But whatever it is can't be good and I need you to investigate and evacuate the humans that survived the experiments." Hiei scoffed at that.
"If any survived at all." At this Koenma sighed.
"Yes, you could very well have a point. You are to report any and all things you discover there, we need full documentation." With that he gave them the coordinates and sent them through a portal -after allowing them to compose themselves, or in other words dress appropriately- into Kyoto with direct orders NOT to kill any of the humans no matter how cruel. This was directed mostly to the impulsive fire demon, to which said fire demon shrugged.
In the lab (several hours later)
The dark one woke to find that she was back in her cage. She remembered running, she ran and ran until she became exhausted from shocks and the strain on her body and she must've passed out. The drug must've worn off because she was back in her original form. They could also change naturally, if their bodies became under too much strain or exhaustion or if they became really emotional. The difference was, it didn't hurt. The transformation was only painful when forced. She sat up and looked around. Her sister, the light one, was missing. True they weren't biological sisters but they were born in the same place on the same day, in the lab 18 years prior, and grew up together. She looked frantically around not seeing her in her cage. She let out a panicked howl and perked her ears listening for an answer. It came in a faint mew from above her. She was relieved; her sister had been moved to the cage above her. Knowing now that she was safe for now, she relaxed. She whined softly at the other girl, trying to coax more of a response out of her. She didn't get one, It was then that she heard a crash down at the end of the hall outside the room, shouts could be heard and the alarm went off. She covered her sensitive ears and whimpered. Her sister did the same. Her eyes were wide in fear, and her heart raced. Within minutes the doors burst open. Three of five head scientists came in frantically and bustled around the room trying to gather what was important. One put on thick gloves and tried to open her cage to muzzle her, another did the same with the cage above her. She heard her sister gasp as she was dragged out of the cage by her throat. She saw red. Her lip curled in a feral snarl and she lunged at the man's throat in front of her. She missed and got his shoulder. She tore into the soft flesh and growled viciously, he gave a shocked angry yell and tried to pry her off. The other saw her sister latch onto the man and also saw the third scientist come up behind her sister with a taser. She twisted in the grasp of the woman who had her throat, and when the grip faltered she slashed at the woman's eyes, hissing viciously. She turned towards her sister.
"Watch out!" she shouted. The dark haired girl turned in time to avoid the man with the taser, and jumped to her sister's side, snarling. It was at that moment that a group of four strangers into the room.
The guys stopped at what they saw. They were wide-eyed looking at the two girls who stood in the middle of the room, wearing only what would look like hospital gowns. One covered in blood and two injured scientists shouting, a third stood close by with a taser-like device, the electricity visible at the end, a low popping sound being emitted. Kuwabara was the first to speak.
"I thought Koenma said there weren't goin' to be any demons?" he gaped looking at the two girls, one with blood dripping from her mouth, baring her fangs at the man with a taser.
"Hn. Baka, those aren't demons." Hiei scoffed, turning his gaze on the same females, his eyes narrowing.
"What're you talkin' about shorty?" Kuwabara yelled, getting angry. His confusion apparent, though he wouldn't outright admit it. "They look like demons to me!" Hiei didn't answer, not deeming the 'idiot' worthy of an explanation, this made Kuwabara twitch, his temper starting to boil, then Kurama spoke up interrupting Kuwabara's would-be rant.
"It would seem we found out what kind of experiments are going on here." Kurama stated. Kuwabara glanced at Kurama confused, his anger forgotten. Yusuke scowled understanding. Kurama sighed and decided to elaborate for Kuwabara. "These are genetically mutated humans. The scientists must have used recombinant DNA. They gave them animal DNA." He added when the younger boy didn't seem to get it. "You should use your spirit awareness, Don't you sense they're not demons?" Kuwabara's brow furrowed but he did as he was asked and blinked, finding that they were in fact human.
The girls eyed them suspiciously, but only for a moment before returning their attention to the scientists. The one who resembled a cat looked curious rather than suspicious at the newcomers. The female scientist with her face slashed, decided that escape was her best option ran swiftly out the back door. The wolf-like female watched her go with a growl, it was then that the man with the taser leapt at her and she leapt out of the way, just missing the strike by inches. The air next to her pulsed with the electricity. She snarled at the man and was about to tear out his throat when the man crumpled to the floor. She blinked and realized that one of the men had moved, he was holding a sword in the air, the hilt of which was where the scientist's temple had previously been. Her hackles went up before she noticed her sister tilt her head curiously and move towards the other males in the room.
The lighter female walked tentatively towards the red head, her head tilted in curiosity. Her sister noticed and immediately let out a warning growl, not sure about them, not trusting their intentions. The cat-like girl stopped a few feet away from Kurama and sniffed lightly. She blinked, and smiled. He too smiled gently at her, keeping his stance non-threatening.
"You smell like fox." She stated bluntly, giggling. Kurama blinked and Yusuke burst out laughing. It was then that they realized the alarm was still going off and the scientist left in the room was calling for backup on an intercom in the corner of the room.
"Umm guys I think we should be goin' soon…" Kuwabara said nervously. Kurama looked back at the girl in front of him.
"Are there any more like you two?" he asked gently. She shook her head sadly.
"They are all dead." She said quietly. The one with dark hair perked her ears suddenly and growled at the door, her ears then flattened against her head and her eyes darted nervously. "Many are coming." She looked fearful, hesitant about whether to stand and fight or to escape. Yusuke got the communicator out and yelled to Koenma about a portal. Within seconds a swirling void appeared in front of them and he and Kuwabara went towards it. The girls looked at it in horror, hissing and growling respectively. The cat-like girl looked at Kurama, when he smiled encouragingly at her; she hesitantly walked toward it, her tail swishing behind her nervously before stepping into it. Following her companion, dark-haired female approached the vortex, growling at it as if it would bite her. She spun around when the door slammed open to reveal armed security guards and other scientists, a swarm of them to say the least. It was then that one of the security guards shot her with what she assumed was a tranquillizer. She yelped and her vision blurred, she swayed and felt arms wrap around her and lift her up. She could smell something that was entirely new to her, but called to her bestial nature. It was a scent that was earthy and wild, she liked it. Perhaps it was what a forest smelled like. She looked up and the last thing she saw before darkness took her was a pair of crimson eyes.
Well that's the end of the first chapter how did you like it? This is my first story, be nice but constructive criticism is welcome. Read and Review!
P.S. the reason I haven't used names for the girls is because they don't have any, being created in a lab, they never were named. Don't worry that will come later.
