Asuka placed her hand on Ryo's shoulder, who had slumped down onto the floor, where the broken glass from the window lay. He knees were getting scratched open on the glass, but he did not care. They team of scientists had let a dangerous creature escape into the real world beyond the padded rooms, syringe needles, and I.V. machines every step you took. "It wasn't your fault, Ryo. He went rogue like Jun…," Asuka started to say. Ryo grew quiet, and a single whisper was heard. Asuka got closer to his mouth. "What?" she questioned.

"We have to find him… Now!" he yelled. In a flash, Ryo stood, nearly pushing Asuka to the side, and turned from the broken window. He walked up the pathway, and entered a room where Juudai sat with the empty syringe in his hands. "You let him escape too, didn't you?!" the taller, green-blue haired teen grabbed the brown haired teen, and slammed him against a wall. "Didn't you?!" he barked again. Juudai laughed.

"Look at yourself…," Juudai gestured toward the mirror above him. "Do you see what I see? I see a man, who turned his brother into a monster. His own flesh and blood, into a Creature of Science!" Juudai laughed. Ryo slammed him harder against the wall, causing Juudai to gasp.

"Enough of your nonsense!" he slammed Juudai harder. The boy cringed, as he felt something slide out of joint; his arm was broken. "They was a reason for what I did!" Juudai smiled at Ryo, despite how grim things were looking for him.

"Really…What? What was your brilliant reason for testing your brother like an animal? Did he make you mad? Did he hit on Asuka? Did he destroy something of yours?" Juudai gasped, and kept the smile on his face. Ryo got quiet, then grew infuriated. He threw Juudai across the room, causing him to hit a chair, and shatter it on impact. Juudai cried out in pain.

"He… That is none of your concern!" Ryo yelled, and left the room, blowing past Asuka. The dark blond haired girl came into the room, and helped Juudai. She kneeled by him, and placed his head in her lap. Juudai gasped, and coughed for air to come to him, but it was doing much good. One of the chair legs had impaled one of his lungs, and air wasn't coming to him as quickly as he had hoped. Asuka removed her jacket, and wrapped it around Juudai.

"You shouldn't have messed with him. You knew he was going to get angry, especially after what you did before with Jun," Asuka looked worried, since Juudai was gasping more every second.

"I had…To know what Sho did to him… I didn't think he would get so angry… But no matter. At least Sho is out of here," Juudai smiled, and kissed Asuka's hand, that was placed by his face. Asuka teared up, and started to cry gently. Juudai closed his eyes, and looked peaceful for a moment. With a slight motion, Asuka whipped Juudai up, and ran from the room with him in her jacket.

Ryo sat in his bed room, which had been lined with work, statistics, and time tables to the one hundredth power. He sat at a small desk with a laptop glowing an eerie blue color. The small light he had on the night table was one, and it was dimly lighting the room. He was typing different scenarios, of what could have gone wrong. Juudai could have missed Sho's right vein, or it was too little or too much of a sample, or it wasn't the right sample all together. He typed for a good five hours into the night, sipping on a strong mixture of coffee and sugar, and continued plotting what could have happened to cause this defect.

He got up from his laptop, and flopped down onto his bed. A small noise was made, and he instantly shot up. He looked around the room, and noticed that he had been laying on something. He picked up the small, kitten plush, and stared at it for a moment.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Big brother! If you ever do an experiment on me, I wanna be a kitty!" Sho bounced happily behind his brother, who sat at his laptop typing away random new test ideas. Ryo smiled at Sho, and laughed for a moment.

"I would never want to experiment on you, Sho. You are my brother, and I experiment on others," he began to pat Sho's head. Sho smiled, and jumped onto the bed he shared with his brother. A small kitten plush had fallen off the bed, and Sho leaned over to get it. He pulled up the grey kitten, and giggled for a moment.

"I wanna be like him!" he gestured toward the plush, which made a noise as it flopped around in his hands. Ryo just smiled. "Please big brother?" he smiled brightly.

--------------------------------------------------------

Ryo grabbed his head, and let out a slight moan. "Why did this thing have to pop up now?!" he threw the toy across the room, and it squeaked as it hit the wall. He lied on his side, and let out a couple of soft whimpers. "Sho… I will get you back here!" he shot up, and went to his laptop. "The dosage Juudai gave him was of…This drug!" he printed out a copy of the drug's number, and ran out of the room.

----------------------------------------------------------

Sho sat onto of a building high up, and was munching on a burger he swiped from someone in a drive through. His hair had gotten longer, and got darker blue. He sat, his tail swinging back and forth like a pendulum. His claws wrapped around that burger, as he devoured it. "Ryo…," he whimpered, and stood. A man came up onto the roof, and saw him. Sho's cat ears turned and twitched in his direction.

"Sho? Is that you?" a voice sounded soft. Sho turned in a flash, and came face to face with a teen with silver hair that was pulled neatly back.

"Edo!! Oh Phoenix it is good to see you again!" he hugged his friend. "I didn't know you lived here," he smiled at him.

"Come inside Sho. It is gonna get cold out soon," Edo took his hand, and lead him back into the apartment building.

Asuka stood in her lab coat, and had machines humming around her. She stood with a clipboard in her hands, and looked a tube filling with a green liquid. "You will be fine. I will heal you…," she said, and the tube omitted a green glow.
