Chapter 3: Chiomi gone
Chiomi woke up in his cell. He sat up in bed and nursed his head. "Aggh, my head's killin' me." he groaned, but stopped as soon as he spoke. His voice changed in pitch. It was much lighter and sound a bit younger. He touched his throat in surprise. How? How could his voice have changed? He shrugged it off and stood up, walking to the mirror. Another change. His eyes were green and human-like. Now they were a light purple in color and had cat's eye pupils.
He must be dreaming. This was all too weird. He rubbed his neck and laughed a little, stopping when he seen his smile. Oh, great. Now his canine teeth had grown longer and sharper, just like a cat's. "This is all too weird." he stammered, returning to his bed. "That's what everyone says." Another voice said, making Chiomi jump almost across the room in surprise. He stared at the window above his bed, not even noticing the cat like position he was in. He inched towards the door and looked into the window. He saw the back of a man's head. He had long blond hair that he tied back with a ponytail and wore what Chiomi thought was a white school uniform-like shirt and black jeans.
"So, you've noticed only the minor details so far, huh?" he asked. Chiomi seemed slightly taken aback by this. Did he mean his voice, eyes and teeth? "Y-Yeah." Chiomi nodded in his new voice. "But what do you mean by minor details?" The man chuckled. "There's more." "More?" Chiomi's eyes widened. "Feel where your ear should be." the man commanded him. Chiomi felt the side of his head, hoping that this was all just a dream. His hand stopped......his ears were gone. "WHAT THE-!!??"
The man laughed again. "Don't worry. You didn't lose your ears completely." "Huh?" Chiomi gasped. "Look in the mirror again." The man told him. Chiomi returned to the mirror and found that he had a pair of cat ears sprouting from his head. He slapped a hand to his mouth to stifle a scream, but pulled it back just as fast. Something scratched his cheek and drew blood. He looked down at his own hand and found that he grew claws as well. He yelped and staggered back. He felt something soft against his cheek and turned to look at it.......a tail..........he grew a lion's tail. He nearly fainted at this discovery and returned to the window. "HOW!!!!???" he screeched.
The man merely smiled and said, "Just as I expected you to react. Don't worry. You gained these attributes when they meshed your brain with the lion's." Chiomi paused and remembered the poor big cat that was murdered right in front of him. "But you're lucky that you've been merged with a lion." The man finally turned to let Chiomi see his face. It seemed normal enough........if you call having big, black, insect eyes normal. "Those idiots merged me with a fly." he sighed. Chiomi yelped and drew back in shock. "S-Sorry." he apoligized, "I'm just not used to this yet."
"I didn't figure you would." the man smiled. He came close to the window and asked, "What's your name?" Chiomi paused for a second and said, "Chiomi Nagasaki." The man laughed a little, "That seems like a mouthful. How about I just call you.............." He looked Chiomi over, looking for a suitable nickname for him. "Tail?" Tail thought this over. Seemed like a rather taunting nickname after his first encounter with his tail, but decided it was fine with him.
"Tail.......sure." Tail smiled at him. "What's your name?" The man seemed surprised that Tail asked him his name. "My name was Kang Yuin....Now I go by Flybrain." Flybrain smiled. Tail extended his hand to him and said, "It's a pleasure to make your aquantince, Flybrain." "Aquantince?" Flybrain smirked, shaking Tail's hand. "I was hoping for 'friend' actually." Tail paused. He was amazed that he made a friend that quickly.
Flybrain glanced out the window. "It's getting dark." he said. It was true. The moon rose and the stars sparkled across the night sky. "I'll give you a tour tomorrow." Flybrain smiled at him. "G'night, Tail." Flybrain laid down and fell asleep, his fly wings buzzing as he snored. Tail fell onto his bed and stared at the mirror for a while, remembering all he saw and how much he changed. With a sigh of content, he snuggled into his pillow and thought, 'Maybe, just maybe, this place isn't so bad.'
