Back in her time, Kelcie Joanas walked through the maze of her laboratory.
Weeks before she had inserted Inuyasha's hypodermic into a sequencer. Surprisingly this youkai's DNA was different than Hokkaido's. This excited her. It wasn't different as the variation from one human's DNA to another's is, this was more like a different species of youkai. In fact, it was almost human. As she investigated this, she came up with a theory; this person was neither youkai nor ningen, but a hanyou, a half-youkai. What she found particularly surprising after a test she conducted was that his DNA created just as much catalyst as a full-youkai. Although they would be half- youkai, they would be just as strong as other youkai. Best of all was that their DNA was nearly completely compatible, much more so than Hokkaido's.HoHHhhHHHHhhhh After weeks of determined effort, and with the secret help of the company's mainframe, she was able to modify the physical aspects of Inuyasha's body to fit hers. Her internal aspects would almost be entirely those of Inuyasha's, with the exception of certain hormone- producing regions and, of course, those feminine places she knew he would love. She used her existing DNA for those. Walking up to the small body-sized pool she placed her keycard into the slot next to the door of the chamber. The stainless steel blast doors we're designed for high security. Even if they found out about what she was about to do, they couldn't do anything about it, short of taking the power mains and emergency generator offline. This was something that was going to happen, she was sure. Looking into the swirling pool of fluid set in the ground, Kelcie felt an overwhelming sense of anxiety. This was something she couldn't easily reverse. This... would change her forever. But she thought back to Inuyasha's golden eyes and her reservations were instantly transformed into delight. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees me!
Kelcie stepped to the edge of the clear fluid. Placing her clothing by the side, she sat down and let her feet dangle in. Not only did she want Inuyasha, she wanted power. She wanted to be just as strong as he is, so she could force him into submission. Kelcie grinned and laughed. She pushed herself off the edge and into the now swirling solution. It felt refreshing. Underwater, she found the touch-control panel. Using one of the controls, jets on both sides of her face replenished oxygen within the breatheable fluid. It was shocking to be breathing like a fish, her lungs now filled. Breathing of the denser liquid became harder. For Inuyasha, for power. This is what you've needed all your life.
"What is she doing? I can't believe she put herself in the Cistronics chamber! What does this mean for the company?" The Assistant said.
"It is good. If she dies, no one but you and I know, and we know this technology is not yet ready. But if she lives... if she changes, this is something we can capitalize on... So leave her be." The Boss laughed. For a scientist, she's got spunk.
The nanorobotics went to work at once.
The hanyou emerged from the swirling well in the floor. Fluid dripped from her silver hair and down her naked body. Now that she had claws, she didn't need the tools of weak humans. She picked up her blue and yellow keycard and slid it over her neck. She then swiped at the control panel of the blast door with her adamantine nails. As sparks flew, the door shuddered and cracked open just large enough for her to slip her hands in and slide the doors apart, ball bearings grinding against their railings. An alarm sounded in a distant portion of the building. It was dark except for the flashing red emergency lighting around the fluorescent lights overhead. She exited her lab and arrived at the central staircase in the atrium of her building. Plants hung tastefully from the walls. She took the elevator down to the weapons development wing of her company. She knew something was there that could help her. The klaxon grew louder as the elevator approached the administration wing, then receded, subtly shifting pitch reminding her of the Doppler effect. She looked down at the still flashing red lighting reflecting off of her silver hair. She imagined she was a star, moving far away from her planet.
As the elevator finally reached the floor, several hundred meters underground, she was greeted by her old friend, Tsuru Hikari. He glanced at her keycard.
"Who are you? What did you do to Ms. Joanas?"
"You know that she worked on transgenic robotics? Do you know what she can do? The power she has? Do you think she would let the technology she worked on her entire life go to some capitalist moron like The Boss?" She replied.
"Are you saying that Ms. Joanas used this technology? On what?"
"Herself." His eyes widened.
"Kelcie! What have you done?"
"Where is your weapon?"
He stammerd. "You know I have never been able to create a weapon..."
She knew his secret. "I'm talking about the weapon handed to you from birth; from your father. The fiery typhoon."
"What could you possibly want with such a weapon?"
"Power. Give it to me, or I will not hesitate to kill you, Tsuru." He was taken aback by that statement.
"If you kill me, you'll never find out where it is."
"Knowing you, Tsuru, you would be testing it somewhere," she surveyed the lab. He stiffened. "Is that it there, practically showcased under spotlights and sensors for all to admire? Let's find out..."
