Part 3:Catgirl ready to Love!?
Jim Hawking was busy typing at his computer while Melphina and Suzuka were both reading magazines when the door opened and they saw Gene Starwind enter carrying Aisha Clan-Clan in his arms. Melphina jumped up and yelled "Gene what happened!" Gene looked to Melphina, "Nothing much. First Aisha and I had lunch, and then some nut that stabbed her with something and injected her with some stuff attacked Aisha. He got away and after that we went to get her damn cloak fixed. While in the tailor shop Aisha started acting funny and then suddenly attacked me." Jim asked, "What do you mean? She just suddenly started randomly trying to kill you? I know Aisha can be violent, but to randomly attack doesn't sound like her." Gene nodded, "Yeah for as unbalanced as this Ctarl-Ctarl is it doesn't seem her style. Something is wrong with her and I think it's because of that guy. Whatever he did to her I will found out and make him pay. Now I think I should put her to bed. Melphina will you come with me." Gene carried Aisha to her room and Melphina followed. Gene placed Aisha in her bed and put the covers over her. Gene looked solemnly at Aisha for a moment and then went towards the door where Melphina stood. "Melphina would you look after her, while Jim and I try to figure out what this is." Gene showed Melphina the blue and black syringe shaped device that had been used in the attack on Aisha. Melphina felt Gene grabs her hand and she looked up at Gene. "Melphina I wanted to know did my taking out Aisha make you feel uncomfortable at all today?" Melphina stuttered, "No Gene not at all. Why do you ask?" she blushed a little while answering. "I see well ok I just wanted to check. I better get downstairs and try to figure this mystery out. If anything happens funny call. I just hope she is ok." Gene said as he looked back to Aisha quickly and then left the room. Melphina went next to Aisha and moved her cream colored hair out from over her face and sighed. Melphina could tell something was different how Gene was acting about Aisha. She wasn't sure what, but inside it made her feel sad. Gene had asked her to take care of Aisha and she knew that if that was what Gene wanted she would do it. Gene was busy coming down stairs and noticed that Jim and Suzuka were busy looking at the device he had given to Jim. "So finding that thing interesting?" Gene asked sarcastically as he walked downstairs. Suzuka and Jim looked up. Jim answered, "Not really. We are just looking this device over to determine what it might be used for." Gene walked down next to Jim. "I can tell you. Its used to inject somebody with goop that makes them go insane." Jim sweatdropped and Suzuka just replied, "Stop being so immature Gene. I think I know exactly what it's used for." Gene looked at Suzuka, "What exactly do you mean by that? I was only away for like half an hour with Aisha upstairs you can't possibly have figured out what it is used for." Suzuka smirked and said, " It's used to increase a person's sex drive." Jim and Gene both went wide eyed and simultaneously said, "Come again." "I have seen them used before. This particular design contains artificial endorphins that help to stimulate a woman's sex drive. It is highly illegal on most planets because the endorphins can be dangerous to the nervous system." Gene mused for a minute and then smirked, "I guess that could be true. It still doesn't answer why somebody would do that to Aisha and exactly how would you know about this particular use? Prior experience?" Suzuka scowled and pulled Gene right next to her. "Gene lets just say I know and if you persist in asking me anymore questions I will fulfill my vow to kill you right now." Gene gulped and nodded his head quite violently. Suzuka stepped away sat back down at her table and sipped some tea. Gene turned to Jim and watched Jim start typing at his computer. "Man if it's not one thing it's another interfering with making money." Gene looked over Jim's shoulder and asked, "What are you looking for Jim?" Jim looked to Gene and responded, "I am looking up what effect these endorphins will have on a Ctarl-Ctarl. I suggest going and getting these two bounties, while I look this information. This could take a while." Gene took the piece of paper and then got a little upset, through his jacket on and left to collect them. Suzuka kept drinking her tea, Jim kept looking up information on his computer, while Melphina kept busy attending to Aisha.
It was three hours later when Aisha began to rise from her sleep. Aisha slowly woke up stretching her arms over her head. She yawned and then noticed that Melphina was in her room. "Melphina what are you doing here?" Aisha asked. "I have here waiting for you to awake for over three hours. Gene asked me to stay with you until you awoke." It was at the mention of Gene's name Aisha jumped out of bed and was in Melphina's face yelling, "Where is Gene? I am gonna kill him for shooting me. I can't believe that stupid jerk would do such a thing." Melphina just looked on feeling a sudden frustration that exploded out of her "Don't talk about Gene like that Aisha. You have no right! Gene told us you attacked him for no reason and he only shot you to protect himself and you from yourself." Aisha was taken back by Melphina's vehemence. " I well…yeah I did kinda attack him…" Aisha then put her hands on her hips and continued, "still he shouldn't have shot me. I mean its not like he could have hurt me or anything its just we were on our date…" Aisha stopped when she heard Melphina giggle a little. "Hey what is so funny?" Melphina responded "So you were on a date with Gene, you seemed so upset he referred to it as that earlier today." Aisha wanted to make a response, but couldn't come up with a response. "So where is Gene?" "He is out collecting a few bounties so we have some money. I don't know when he will be back." "Figures. HE always does go off by himself. Well I am going downstairs and getting something to eat." Aisha then went out of her bedroom stopping when Melphina started to say a last thing to hear. "Aisha you should know Gene was really concerned about you." Aisha stopped for a moment, but didn't turn around and continued on downstairs. Both Jim and Suzuka looked to Aisha coming down the stairs, Suzuka clutching her sword. Aisha saw this and quickly put her hands up shaking them and her head, "No! No! I am fine. Don't worry I won't attack you are anything." Suzuka still held her sword and Jim was worried until Melphina followed behind her and shocks her head. Suzuka released her grip on her sword, while Jim went back to his work. Aisha then came bounding down the stairs next to Jim. "What are you doing Jim?" Jim looked to Aisha and said "I am try to determine why someone injected you with endorphins and why would it cause you to suddenly attack Gene." Aisha stuttered, scratching her head, "What are endorphins?" Suzuka answered, "They are chemicals that stimulate sexual stimulation and emotions like love." Aisha reeled back yelling "What!?" "Yes that person that attacked you injected you with some. Somehow it's affected you so that you attacked Gene and tried to kill him. I am trying to determine why this is happening." Aisha mind started to comprehend what she just heard. Something from long ago came into mind and she relived the attack on Gene. A reason came to her mind, but it couldn't be. As Aisha was contemplating this the door to Starwind and Hawking Enterprises opened and Gene Starwind entered with a smile on his face. Then he turned to look at all his friends and saw Aisha. Aisha had time to go "Gene…" then suddenly she snarled and jetted toward Gene. Gene had time to go "Not again."
The next moment Aisha rammed into Gene and knocked him back through the door. Gene was desperately trying to find of Aisha who was trying to slash at him with her claws. He finally managed to kick her off of him and rolled back until he was looking at Aisha again. She had the same lost look on her face as she moved to attack until Melphina grabbed her. "Aisha stop!" Melphina yelled as she grabbed Aisha. Aisha tried to throw Melphina away, but instead jammed her backwards into the wall of the building they were in front of. Gene yelled, "Melphina!" as Melphina slumped to the ground not stirring. Gene could do nothing though as Aisha then jumped at him and pinned him to the ground. She was busy pinning his left hand to the ground, but before she could pin his other arm Gene hit her in the jaw with all his strength that staggered the cat-girl. However, he was not able to get free because his blow had hardly effected her. A small trickle of blood came down her cheek. She didn't seem to notice though and raised her hand for the deathstrike. Gene looked to Melphina and said, "I'm sorry…" He expected the blow to come at any second, but instead he heard her voice, "Why do you hesitate?" He looked up to Aisha who had a questioning look on her face. "Do you not find me worthy?" She asked. Gene was confused why was she asking him this. The next second Gene saw Suzuka behind Aisha and then Suzuka hit Aisha with the base of her sword. Aisha went "Gene." And then collapsed on top of him. Gene got Aisha off of him and then moved to Melphina who was stirring. "Melphina are you okay?" Gene asked with urgency. Melphina answered, "Yes I am fine. Thanks for being concerned Gene." Melphina said as Gene helped her to her feet. "I am glad you are okay Melphina." "Why did you guys not have her chained up or something?" Suzuka spoke up "She was behaving like normal until you showed up." Jim came to the door, "Gene I think I may know what is wrong with Aisha, Get her inside and then I will explain everything." Gene was picking Aisha up and carrying her inside Melphina spoke up. "Gene what is in this bag?" Gene looked back and said, "Its nothing. Just something I had to finish." Melphina looked inside and saw it was Aisha's cloak. "You went and got her cloak back." Gene looked back, "Yeah I forgot we left it there and so I kinda stole it back from that tailor after I got those two bounties. I figured Aisha would still want the stupid thing." As Gene went in to put Aisha back to bed Melphina smiled, "You really are a kind and caring person Gene." Gene didn't look back, but went "Yeah don't remind me."
Later Suzuka, Gene, and Melphina huddled around Jim and waited for his explanation. "OK Jim tell me what is up with Aisha. Don't leave out any details." Jim looked at Gene and responded "Ok Gene here is the basic premise of what is wrong with Aisha. I was researching anything that might happen with extreme amounts of endorphins being introduced into Ctarl-Ctarl's. I found that extreme amounts of endorphins can cause an old instinct to awaken in female Ctarl-Ctarl's." "That is great Jim but what exactly is that condition exactly?" Jim got an annoyed look on his face. "Well if you don't interrupt I can tell you. Ctarl-Ctarl's have some ancient instincts then even after thousand of years still affect them. Basically what Aisha did in attacking you was an ancient mating ritual. In old times Ctarl-Ctarl females would try to attack the male they had chosen as their mate until a certain amount of time has past. If the male survives the female will then stop their attack and let the male consummate their mating by surrendering herself to his desires." It took Gene and the others a minute to take this all in and then Gene said, "She attacks me in a mating ritual and then that would explain why she stopped and asked me why I didn't act." "Yeah fortunately its only line of sight and Aisha won't enter this instinct if she doesn't see you. The problem is she subconsciously has chosen you as her mate and until you…umm…well sleep with her she will continue to react like she when she sees you." Gene had a blank look on his face and then started to laugh. "You mean I have to sleep with the Ctarl-Ctarl." Gene stopped laughing when he saw a pained expression on Melphina's face for a moment and went " Melphina is…" Melphina calmly got off their couch they were sitting on and went upstairs closing the door to Aisha's room. Jim had an agonized look on his face and then sighed, "Well you do what you want, but I think maybe we should just leave her behind." Gene replied, "I can't do that Jim. I told Aisha could come with us and I intend to keep my promise. I just wonder if she will be open to the idea." Suzuka got up and walked back to her table and said, "Aisha will do what she feels is right, don't worry about her. I think you have other things you should think about." Gene turned to look back up towards Aisha's room and mumbled, "Melphina." Gene got up went towards the door looking out as the sun started to set. Jim asked, "Gene where are you going?" Gene looked back at Jim; "I need to think for a little while Jim. I will be back later." With that Gene left a concerned Jim watching him leave their office/home.
"I did WHAT!" Aisha yelled as Melphina explained what happened earlier in the day. It was dark out and Aisha had only been awake for about an hour when Melphina had been waiting for her to awake again. "Jim explained to us the whole situation and the only solution to the problem." Aisha was seething inside. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. It was that entire stupid humans fault. Now she would have sleep with Gene Starwind if she wants to complete her mission. Aisha's hands balled into fist and she cried out, "Great now I have to sleep with that complete jerk Gene Starwind if I want to be able to go after the Galactic Layline. Grr! This isn't fair, why do I have to do such things?" Melphina only sat on the floor and watched Aisha carry on. "Gene wasn't exactly even very enthusiastic about the idea either." Melphina threw in as Aisha tirade. Aisha world around and yelled, "Oh and I suppose he doesn't think I am sexy enough for him or something. Well I happen to be very beautiful for a Ctarl-Ctarl and more then worthy of Gene Starwind." Melphina could only ask, "So I take it you will not then proceed with the necessary action to fix your condition?" "I never said that. I will do whatever is necessary to get to the Galactic Layline. Besides I guess there are worse things that could happen. Besides the fact I am not worried about anything happening." Melphina's eyes blinked, "Anything happening?" Aisha put her hand over her face for a minute and then pointed to her stomach. It was then Melphina caught on to what Aisha meant. "We Ctarl-Ctarl's are genetically unable to reproduce with humans. So I don't have anything to worry about. I will just have to keep thinking about my mission." It was then Aisha noticed Melphina leaving and questioned, "Melphina your ok with this right?" Aisha asked her ears perking up and concern in her voice. Melphina just said, "What will happen, will happen." Not believing her own words. Aisha waited till Melphina was out of the room and then slumped to her knees. "This can't be happening. I can't believe that I have chosen Gene as my mate. Everyone else is treating this like it's some biologically caused. Its true those endorphins may have helped caused this condition, but only Ctarl-Ctarl's know that when a female goes into this mode it can only happen to a male they love." She looked at her hands and brought her hands to her chest. "I can't love that stupid Gene Starwind. I can't." Aisha looked out to the night sky from her bedroom window and frowned. She was so confused.
In the evening Aisha heard a knocking at her door. She opened the door to her room and saw badly was in front. She was about to pear into the hallway when a voice said, " Don't look out here Aisha." Aisha fell backwards in shock and went, "Gene don't scare me like that. What are you doing right outside my room? Do you want me to try and kill you?" She asked in succession. Gene smirked, "Not particularly that is why I am staying out of your sight. I need to ask you Aisha about well…ya know." Aisha perked up at his the topic. "Yes I know what you are talking about. I have to have sex with you so that I take you as my "mate". I am perfectly willing to do it with you if it helps me get to the Galactic Layline." Gene looked solemnly at the wall across from him. "I wish you hadn't been so crude about it Aisha. I don't want to be with you if it's only to go after the Layline. I only want to make love to you if its what you really want. Not because its necessary." Aisha heard Gene and wondered if this was the same bull headed outlaw she knew. Her ears pricked up, "Gene I guess well…I could pick worse people to be with. I mean your no Ctarl-Ctarl, but I guess you can do. I don't have any objections. I guess I want to. I mean don't get the wrong idea I still think you an idiot and a jerk, but if my dumb subconscious or whatever caused me to choose you as my "mate" then they must have something that it sees in you." Aisha finished stammering. Then she pulled the bag into her bedroom and opened it. Inside was her uncles old cloak and she noticed that the whole was repaired. Her eyes went wide and she gasped. "Gene you got my cloak fixed. Why?.." Gene didn't let her finish. "I want you to know Aisha I am not doing this because I feel any obligation. You're a beautiful woman and any guy would be a fool if you gave him the chance not to make love to you. I can tell you I want to. There is no doubt in my mind. Sleep well Aisha" With that Gene Starwind got up and went downstairs to his cot to get some needed sleep. Aisha wanted to follow him, but just sat on her legs in the darkness and held her cloak. She had a big smile on her face.
