Chapter One

I need to create a formula. I want to make it a gender-changing potion. It'd be hard but I love to be able to crack it. Watari mused. He smiled at the miniature owl on his shoulder,

"Wouldn't it be interesting 003?"
"WhoooOooo."

"Oi, Tsuzuki! Stop slacking off will you?" Chief Konoe took a bite of the strawberry cake that he stole from Tsuzuki before he continued, "This next case is very dangerous so you must be careful. We can't afford any slip ups. Understand?"

Tsuzuki nodded. He was watching the Chief eat his cake. Watari stood close by, smiling and winking at 003. The result will come out soon. I hope it works.

Right after he thought these words, the Chief's hair began to grow longer. I wonder how long it'll take the Chief to find out he has started to grow hair. Not too long since both Hisoka and Tsuzuki are in the room. Mae ee we'll find out soon.

Hisoka's eyes widened.

"Chief…" He stammered, "Your hair…"

"What about my hair?"

"It's…growing…"

"What!" Chief Konoe quickly grabbed a mirror and saw long locks of dark brown growing out of his head. "What cake is this that you bought me Tsuzuki? It's a magic cake!" he exclaimed, too happy to notice that the words he said were unprofessional.

Watari pushed up his glasses and grinned.

Now for the other effects to happen.

He waited ten minutes before he started to frown.

The next phase should have happened a few minutes ago. Is there something wrong with my formula? He wondered, deep in thought.

The owl on his shoulder hooted, causing Watari to look at the Chief. What he saw was astonishing. The Chief had chestnut brown hair up to his shoulders and was starting to reach his anger point. Watari gulped and as he heard Konoe shout,

"WHO DID THIS?"

He meekly raised his hand, bracing himself for the lecture that was to happen.

"What did you do? My hair is growing luxuriantly and it shows no sign of stopping! I can not cut it so how can it be reversed?" He shouted

Watari winced at the Chief's loudness. He handed over a small vial.

"This will reverse the process, mix a few drops into your drink and wait."

Chief Konoe glared at Watari as he took the vial, mixed it into his coffee and drank. As quickly as the hair began to grow, it began to shrink. Watari could see Hisoka and Tsuzuki trying to cover up their laughter as the hair rapidly receded. He sighed; It was quite close this time. I'll definitely get it right soon!

Watari walked out of the office dejectedly, "It's a pity that the formula didn't work ne, 003?"

The owl hooted in response. He tickled it under its chin while murmuring thoughtfully, "I must have added the wrong ingredient. I should review my data and start from there." He looked up to see Tatsumi standing in front of him.

" Ohayou Tatsumi." He said cheerfully

"Ohayou." Tatsumi replied, "Formalities aside, Watari, I have some bad news to tell you."

Watari gave a puzzled look. Tatsumi grimaced and announced, "The Chief has ordered a reduction on your scientific equipment."

"Nani? Why would the Chief-"

"He intends to use it to punish you for your experiment on him."

Watari sighed again, "Maa ee…" he replied glumly as he headed back to his lab. Once inside his lab, he threw himself onto the bed. I don't get it. What is wrong with my solution? Did I miscalculate something? He closed his eyes. 003 snuggled on the corner of the pillow and drifted off into sleep as well. A shadowy figure emerged from the dark corner of Watari's work place.

"Watari Yukata…"
