"You won't get away with this." Pudding said, her high pitched young voice trembling with anger. She'd been standing at Syaoron's side as he talked to himself about his general plans and the science he was performing. He'd been working all morning and had had Pudding stand nearby in case he needed anything. She still wore the revealing apron but had become more accustom to wearing it in his presence. She was young and didn't know the joys of the adult female body but she still felt uncomfortable when she found Syaoron staring at her most private of areas. She always been told to never show it to anyone, but she had no choice. She'd tried at first to be modest, to fight him, but it was no use. He kept her more as a pet than anything. She severed him, was on call to attend his every whim. If she failed or showed even the slightest resistance he painfully force her to transform, causing him to stare more, watching the half naked monkey girls tail swish as she did her work. He knew he could do more, and didn't want to tempt him.

Syaoron sat up and stretched, looking around the lab. "We have a big evening this evening Pudding." He said absent mindedly, ignoring her previous comment. They both knew she was in no position to talk back to him but he liked to see her try, if nothing else so he could reprimand her later. "Your friends are going to get there first taste of what else we have in store..." he trailed off as the door to the lab slid open and a loud shout rang through.

"DADDY!" said the young boy as he ran through the place to hug Syaoron. The embrace was quick but heartfelt and Pudding stood confused, not knowing who this boy was. He was small, probably a little younger than she was, and his dirty blonde hair matched his 'daddy's' perfectly.

"Lee! How are you?" Syaoron replied with a warm smile. Pudding could only guess that this boy, Lee, was their heartless captives son?

"Fine! Is this her?" He asked as he turned to Pudding. Syaoron smiled. Evidently this was another aspect of Pudding's fate he had kept secret from her.

"Yes Lee, this is her. She'll be living with us for a while, helping Daddy with his work." Lee paced around Pudding, and instantly her embarrassment returned. He reached for her apron and she figited to try and deter him, but a stern look from Syaoron made her think better of it. Lee lifted up the apron and stared at Pudding's vagina. If he'd been looking at her face he'd have seen her go bright red but she could do nothing but let him inspect her. "I've never seen a girl naked before. Is this how they pee?" He asked. The naivety of his comment made Syaoron chuckle.

"Why don't you ask her?" He said and Lee spun to look Pudding in the face. She nodded gently and tried to conceal her embarrassment. Lee nodded in amazement at this revolution before returning his attention to the young girls' snatch. He reached his hand out to touch it before Syaoron caught him. "Now son, you have lots of homework to do I'm sure. Run along!" he barked. A dejected look on Lee's face showed he was about to argue but he decided against it when he met his fathers eyes. He left the room and pudding stood there. "Get used to him being around, Pudding, you'll be serving him as often as me."

"I've been trying to lock onto the red data signal. Its sporadic. I can't seem to pin down its location, or its carrier." Akasaka said as he hunched over the screen. Ryo placed his hand on his shoulder and leant in for a closer look.

"The signal is warped, misshaped. Like someone has put it through a blender. Its permanently on but not coherent, peaking at random intervals." Ryo added. It made no sense. Without a strong clean signal they couldn't pin down the girls. "keep working at it. I'm going to head out and see what the word on the street is. This doesn't seem like the work of the aliens."
