Chi- Pets
Chapter 3
The next day, Seto helped Jou get dressed in clothing that had been picked out for him to wear to school. It was finally time to decide on two test cases for the Chi- Pet's relations with their humans. This would determine if the public really would be ready for the creation of Seto Kaiba's. Jou happily followed Seto onto the bus and through the halls to the main office to be registered as a visitor. Once that was done, the two walked the halls together. "Now, Jou, if you see someone you think would make a good owner for a Chi- Pet, tell me.", Seto said.
"Okay.", Jou answered.
As they walked the halls, Jou unknowingly clutched to Seto while they made their way to class. As the lesson was being taught, Jou couldn't help but notice one kid that looked all alone. Seems it the bell still had a while before it rang, Jou walked up to the boy very carefully. "Um, why are you sitting by yourself?", Jou asked, innocently.
".... I don't know, I just guess I don't have many friends here.", the boy replied, looking rather surprised by Jou's sudden appearance, "Why do you ask?",
"Well, I just was wondering, because most people would sit together, and talk, but you, you sit alone. I just wanted to know why.", Jou stated, "What's a friend anyway?",
"You don't know what a friend is?", the kid said.
"Nope, I've never heard of one before.", Joey replied.
"Well, a friend is... Is.... Someone you can trust, no matter how much you tell them.", the boy explained, "You see, by having friends, you can share secrets you can't share with other people.",
"How come?", Jou asked another question.
"Well, for one, a friend won't betray you, they can be trusted, and are fun to be around.", the kid answered.
Jou looked at the guy, his white, and somewhat spiky hair came down framing his soft, rounded face, and kind brown eyes looked at his. "What's your name?", Jou asked.
"Ryou Bakura.", the boy responded.
"You'll be one of the tests.", Jou happily said, before skipping off to where Kaiba was standing.
'I wonder what he meant by test? Some survey or something?', Bakura wondered to himself.
....
As classes wrapped up for the morning, and Seto, along with Jou headed to lunch. "You just sit right here, and don't move, I'll bring your food to you, do you understand?", Seto instructed Jou.
"I do.", Jou nodded, "Seto, um... Do you know that one kid with the white hair?",
"Yes, why?", Seto asked.
"I'll tell you when you get back.", Jou muttered.
"Okay.", Seto stated, heading off to the line.
That's when another person sat kitty corner to Jou. (Quick note: In this one, Yami is actually modern day person, Yugi does not exist.) His hair was oddly colored, with blonde bangs, and black with crimson mostly, there were a couple spikes of blonde that stuck up into the black, and crimson area, his eyes were purple, but the most interesting thing about the guy was how he dressed. He wore the usual school uniform, however, he'd taken off the jacket to reveal the leather vest with buckles all over it, he also wore a neck belt, and Jou, having not seen anything like it, save Seto's one jacket, thought it interesting. "Hello.", Jou said.
"Hm? Oh, hi.", the boy said, in a high bass toned voice.
"I'm waiting for Seto to get back with my lunch.", Jou said.
"That's nice, and you are?", he asked.
"Jou.", he replied.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jou, and how long have you been friends with Kaiba?", the boy asked.
"He's been friends with me for a while.", Seto replied, "Here, I got you a cheese burger, pop, and fries.",
"Thank- you, Seto.", Jou stated, before gingerly sampling each of the three items, "This is good.",
"I was just talking with him.", the boy explained, "My name's Yami Moto." (Yes, same Grandpa, and life as Yugi, just he's not Yugi.)
"Yeah, and he's got a lot of belts on his vest too.", Jou said.
"That's nice, Jou.", Seto replied.
"Well, I have to get to my next class early.", Yami replied, "Bye see you later sometime.",
"See you.", Jou waved good bye.
That's when Seto turned to Jou. "Have you decided which two people you want to be the test cases yet, Jou?", Seto asked.
Jou nodded, "Ryou Bakura, and Yami Moto.",
"All right, I'll go ahead, and find out from the office which lockers are theirs then.", Seto replied.
It was just before study hall that Seto took two cream colored envelopes, and walked down the hall with them. He stuck one in one- seventy four, and the other in five o' nine. "Now, to hope they respond.", Seto remarked, before heading to his seminar class.
Seto woke the fourth day since Jou had gone into a human like form that Seto woke to find Jou was not there. "Jou?", Seto called out, "Jou?",
He then heard a small yelp inside the kitchen, and saw the flour bag fall to the floor as though by itself. "Jou.", the now back to being small Jou huffed.
Seto couldn't help but laugh, even if the little beast had made a huge mess of the kitchen, floor, and eggs where literally everywhere, Jou himself was a white little ghost with all the flour he had on himself. "Jou jo- ou?", Jou asked.
"It's nice of you to try to make me breakfast, but, I don't think you planned it this way. I'll help you get this mess cleaned up, then I'll give you a bath, then we can find out why you changed back.", Seto listed.
"Jou jou.", Jou thanked.
"Your welcome, Jou.", Seto said.
So the two set to work, Jou getting the areas Seto couldn't reach, and Seto cleaning up where things were too big for Jou to handle. Then, bath time came, then it was down to work. Seto started with the date the change happened, and then the date it ended. Only to find out it was the full moon that had stimulated the change. The full moon which always had a cycle of three nights. So, as long as the moon was full, then the Chi- Pets would take on a more human like being. "Do you think I should add that to the book?", Seto asked Jou, who was perched on his shoulder.
"Jou.", Jou nodded.
"All right, full moon transformations will be added to the guide book, then.", Seto nodded.
"Jou jo- u jou?", Jou asked.
"And what about breakfast?", Seto asked, "I'll just cook some eggs, and bacon.",
"Jou!", Jou agreed.
"Good, now, let's get some breakfast done.", Seto said, before marching off to the kitchen.
End Chapter: Next Chapter, the test cases appear: However, here is a bit of a fan- fic inside a fan- fic for those who are wondering about the Guide Seto's been slaving over.
The Guide to Your Chi- Pet
Chi- Pets are genetically engineered creatures, made from your own altered DNA. By using your DNA it makes the Chi- Pet closer tied to you from the beginning. However, being a living being, it will need attention, food, and loving care. This guide is to help you get started in the understanding of your Chi- Pets.
Step 1: How is a Chi- Pet created?
By just having one sample of DNA from your body, we can start the process of creating your Chi- Pet. Using the science of genetic technology we purify, and alter the DNA to the preferences of what you want. After the DNA alterations are completed, they are then injected into an unfertilized egg. When you receive your Chi- Pet, you will get all the necessary items for before, and right after it hatches, including a warm nest, and enough formula to feed it until it is ready for solid foods, it's first set of clothing is also provided, along with a Chi- Pet Birth certificate, which is already verified with a specific number. Each Chi- Pet is unique in the fact that they, like humans have their own personalities. All though generally cute, and cuddly as new hatchlings, they can grow to be troublesome at some points in their life. Each Chi- Pet is also so dependant upon their owner that they are designed to die when you die, so neither will be lonely or sad if one dies.
Step 2: The Hatching
By keeping the egg warm it should hatch anywhere from a week to two months. Pay close attention to when this happens because the first word that the Chi- Pet hears, is established as the only word it'll speak, this will also be what it anticipates to be called by. You will then feed it on formula for the first two days of it's life. It will seem very childish with how it wants to inter- react with you. It will never produce waste, nor will it disobey you. However, it does not understand freedom of choice when it is first brought into this world, that must be taught to the Chi- Pet by you, the owner. They may also enjoy similar activities as you do. To be fed they must first start on the formula provided for precisely two days after the hatching. This is done by using the eyedropper packaged with the formula packets. They do not each much, seems they are small in size, meaning they have a small appetite. Soon, your Chi- Pet has learned enough, and grown enough they will learn to walk and fly.
Step 3: Chi- Pet's Needs
Chi- Pets are linked to you through the genetic coding in their systems. By leaving them alone you will upset them. So, you must be extremely careful not to do this. When they first learn to fly, they tend to land on or in things you wouldn't notice them in. Suggested solution is to create a room in which you can find them easily when they first want to fly. Highly intelligent, the Chi- Pets also need to have stimulation for their minds, this could be simple games, or communication with others of their kind. They will also require many other things, which will be provided by local stores called Chi- Shops. There you will find new clothing, food, and other helpful items for your Chi- Pet to enjoy.
