AN: One act, short chapter. But it's cool :)
Act Three
"Where are his ears?!" Doctor Yami demanded.
"You said you wanted them cleaned." Serenity said.
"So you cut them off?!?"
"Don't worry, I put them in a bottle of carbolic acid. It's the same stuff the housekeeper uses to clean the floors."
"You what…?" Yami ran over to where the jar sat. The ears had completely dissolved. "NO!" he cried, "Now my creation will not be able to hear me speak!"
"Maybe these'll do until we can get new ones?" Joegore asked, holding up a jar marked spare ears. All that was left was a pair of dog ears.
"We shall have to make due," Yami said. After some quick surgery, the new ears and brain were in place. His creation was ready.
"Joegore, go outside and use these two kites to see which way the storm is coming," the doctor ordered.
"You got it master," Joegore replied. The hunchbacked servant rushed up the stairs and let the two kites fly. Then, he yelled down, "North by north west master!"
"Good!" Yami yelled up, "Now tie them off, and come down!"
"Why?" Joegore asked.
"Because there a risk of electrocution!" Yami yelled up.
"WHAT!?" Joegore yelled.
"I said, there is a risk of electrocution!!!" Yami repeated.
"Okay, okay you don't have to shout," Joegore said from behind him. Yami and Serenity looked at him, then up at the skylight.
"Weren't you just…?" Yami asked. "Did you tie off the kites?"
"Yeah?" Joegore said.
"Oh... Very good then," Yami said, putting a hand on Joegore's hump. "Wait, wasn't your hump on the other side?"
"What hump?" Joegore demanded. "I don't see no hump, man!"
"Never mind," Yami said, throwing up his hands. Joegore shuffled off, mumbling something about 'blind as a bat'. The doctor turned to his lovely assistant, Serenity, and said, "This is the hour, my dear. With the brain of Professor Pegasus in this body, we shall rule the scientific community."
"Oh doctor," Serenity said in adoration.
"Now," Yami said, "Elevate me."
"What?" Serenity asked, blushing, "Right here? Okay!" she said, getting down on her knees.
"No, no! Raise the platform!" Yami corrected.
"Oh! The platform!" Serenity said. "Okay." She trotted off to stand with her brother, and together turned the wheel that lifted up the platform that carried Dr. Yami Von Yugistein and his creation to the roof of the lab. When the scientist stood in the howling winds and pouring rain, he yelled down to his assistants, "When I give the word, throw the first switch!"
"Yes, master," Joegore replied, and went over to where the generator controls hung on the wall.
"Now!" Yami commanded, "Throw the switch!" Joegore obeyed, and sparks flew as the switch was toggled up. Thunder clapped as Yami ordered, "Now the second switch!!" Joegore threw the second large switch up, and more sparks jumped from the leads.
"Now…" Yami called, "The THIRD SWITCH!"
"No, master!" Joegore cried in fear, "Not the third switch!"
"YES!" Yami screamed. "The THIRD SWITCH!!!!!" Joegore obeyed, and this time, not only did sparks fly, but every mechanism in the lab went haywire. Lightning outside and lightning inside fried all the circuits.
"Hear me, Shadows!" Yami cried to the darkened sky, "Hear me! Make this lifeless shell rise! Give my creation… LIFE!!!!" He screamed as thunder and lightning and the wind swept forth. Pure electricity flowed through he rods, into the creature's brain, sending nerve impulses through it's arms… It's arm began to rise.
"It's alive!" Yami cried. "IT'S ALIVE!!! ALIVE!!!!!!" he laughed manically as Serenity and Joegore lowered the platform. When both doctor and creature were back ins the lab. Yami leaned over the twitching body.
"Now, Professor!" he addressed the thing on the table, "Live! Open your eyes, and see the world again!" It's lids twitched, and then, popped open. What Yami saw were not the bright brilliant eyes of a genius. They were the mad, crazed yellow eyes of an animal. Of a monster!
"What have I done…" Yami whispered as the creature slowly sat up. It's silver, billowing hair draped his shoulders, and his white dog ears twitched.
"Oh, how cute!" Serenity cried, and went to tweak the ears. The creature felt the touch, and stuck out his tongue, and panted happily.
"What is going on?" Yami asked. "Why is he acting like a dog?"
"Well…uhhh…" Joegore said, "There was a little accident with the brain…"
"What are you talking about?" Yami asked, "Who's brain did you bring me?"
"Uhm… It was in some weird language…It was 'In'… 'Inu' - something." Joegore said. "Yeah, Inu-something."
"Give me the jar!" Yami ordered. Joegore grabbed the empty jar from a bag, and tossed it to the doctor. Yami's face went ashen… He couldn't believe it…He slowly turned his head to Joegore, and said, "You…This is Japanese… Do you have any idea what it says!?!"
"Yeah," Joegore said. "Inu-taishu."
"That mean's 'leader of the dogs, you fool!!!" Yami said. He threw the jar to the ground, where it shattered into a million pieces. "You brought me the brain of a DOG!" Behind them, their dog creature howled to the moon, causing wolves outside to join him in a loud chorus.
"Oh great," Joegore said "We created the Wolfman."
"He's a cute puppy!" Serenity said. "Can I keep him?"
"Yes.. Yes my dear, you can," Yami said, slumping down into a chair. "Take it away. I don't want that abomination again."
"Okay," Serenity said. "Come on, boy. Let's go to my room and play a game." The dog-man barked happily, and got up on his human legs, and wobbled kinda funny at first, but soon got used to two feet, and chased after Serenity joyfully. "I'll think I call him 'Inu-yasha'" Serenity said as she patted his head. Then, the creature looked at her funny, his head tilted sideways. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and growled out. "Iiiiii… Iiiiiii…."
"Master, it's trying to speak!" Joegore siad, pointing.
"Impossible!" Yami said, looking up. "But then again, now he has human vocal cords. Could it be that dogs are capable of intelligent speech?"
"Iiiiiinnnn," The dog-man said. "Iiiiiinnnuuuu….Yyyyahssshhahhh!" he growled out.
"Good boy!" Serenity praised. "Again. What's you name? Say it again!"
"Iiinu-yasshha." he said, more easily this time.
"Good boy," Serenity said again. Then, slowly, she said "Your name is Inu-yasha. My name is Serenity. Can you say that?"
"Serrrroowwwwwenity!" He howled.
"Good boy," Serenity encouraged him. "That's my brother, Joegore," she said, pointing to her brother.
"J….J…" Inu-yasha tried to say.
"It's okay,' Serenity said, pouting. "You'll learn. And that's Dr. Yami. He created you. Can you say 'Yami'?"
Inu-yasha looked at them all, then, he smiled and barked, "RRRRamen!"
"No, sweety," Serenity said, "Yami."
"RRamen!" He said again.
"Oh, that's not right at all." Serenity said, disappointed.
"The poor guy must be hungry," Joegore said. "I'll fix him some noodles."
"Oh, Doctor," Serenity said, going to Yami as Joegore fed Inu-yasha, "I'm sorry. But at least he knows his name."
"Oh… I was wrong to play God," Yami said, holding his head in his hands. "It was supposed to be a thing a beauty! Not this abomination," he said, pointing to Inu-yasha, who was now consuming bowl upon bowl of noodles. "I should never had thought to father a super race!" Yami despaired.
Inu-yasha's eyes widened. His head tipped sideways, and he sucked up the last noodle. Then, looking at the saddened doctor, he said, "Fuuu … Faaathhherrr…"
"What did you say?" Yami asked it.
"Ffather." Inu-yasha repeated. He smiled, looking quite happy as Yami expression brightened.
"Speak again," Yanmi commanded, "Who am I?"
"Father!" Inu-yasha replied. He got up from his seat, and leaped into Yami's hands, and gave him a big hug. "Father!"
"OH goody!" Serenity said. "See, he's smart. Good boy," she said, scratching Inu-yasha's head.
He barked happily, and said, "Serenity!"
"Yes, he is intelligent," Yami said, "But he is like a child. We must teach him how to act like a human. It will take time,"
"Yeah, well, let's not try an teach him the encyclopedia tonight," Joegore said, "Let's get out of here and inot bed before that creepy housekeeper comes down here, looking for us."
"Yes, I agree," Yami said. "I do not trust Lady Kikyo," Yami said. Lightening flashed, thunder clapped, horses reared, and Serenity screamed, jumping into Yami's arms.
"Please, don't say her name again," Joegore pleaded, "I can't afford to lose another pair of horses."
