    Deep space. The wreckage of a space freighter. The massive ship of Shuurin. Lights sweep over the wreckage looking for salvageable scrap. "Sir, I think we found something." One of the computer operators reports.
    "What is it?" Asks the main officer.
    "Looks like a stasis pod." Replies the operator.
    "Send someone out to get it."
    "Yes sir."

    "We're approaching now." The voice declares over the com system. The monitors show three humanoid shapes drifting towards a cylindrical shaped object. "Confirmation. It is a stasis pod, and there's someone in it. A female, appears to be adolescent. Markings on the pod are two nines."
    "Okay. Bring her in. She might be someone important." The officer orders.
    "Yes sir. Attaching cables now."

    Shuurin's office onboard his flag ship Oracanta. "So you found a child floating in space, and this should concern me WHY?"
He asks annoyedly.
    "Well.. uh.. sir..." The officer says nervously.
    "I don't have all day. And neither do you."
    The officer gulped nervously at the thinly veiled threat. Shuurin wasn't the type of person to take kindly to people wasting his time, but he rewarded those who brought him important information. "Sir, the girl contains dna of what seems like every sentient being ever. It's just a guess because a lot of it is unknown."
    Shuurin looked pleasantly surprised. "That is intriguing.. Anything else?"
    The officer smiled, feeling pleased with himself. "Yes sir. Apparently, she has an artificial skeleton, and highly advanced nanotechnology."
    Shuurin grinned, he had two grins. An evil one, which could scare the wits out of any demon, and a kind one, that could charm any girl, and had on several occasions, into his bed willingly. "You've just earned yourself a heft bonus."
    The officer grinned and relaxed completely. Then he frowned remembering something he felt was the most important. "Sir, uh... apparently, her aura has the potential to be strong.. maybe even more so then yours..." He somewhat lied, he was informed that it would in fact surpass Shuurin's quite easily.
    "Then we'll have to see to it that she is completely and utterly loyal to me." Shuurin grinned and turned to look back out the window. "Let's go see this machine girl."

    In the research section of the ship, the stasis pod was hooked up to machines of every possible size. Several wires had been punched through the window of the pod and where attached to the unconcious girl inside. Shuurin peered in the glass and looked at the young girl. His eyes traveled up and down her body. She was clothed in a tight black body suit, red shorts and black gloves that cover he entire forearms. Her short blonde hair laid motionless on the bed. He had no doubt that she was built for battle looking at her. He also had know doubt that she would be just as good in other things. "She cute." He commented to the head researcher.
    "It's absolutely amazing." The researcher replied excitedly.
    "SHE." Shuurin corrected him, he could tell that what ever she was, she was clearly female.
    "She," The researcher amended. "is absolutely amazing. Her DNA is so complex. Most species have 2 to 4 strands, she has FIVE HUNDRED TIMES that." The researcher was bouncing around looking at read outs. Shuurin was following him somewhat annoyedly. How he'd rather not have to deal with these people, and just kill them all, but they where a necessary evil. And one that he would have to tolerate, as long as he wanted to keep his galactic empire under heal. The researcher picked up a print out off of a pile of them and began reading aloud. "Saiyajin... Youma... Nemekian... Sirian... Ocanthian... so many more that we don't even know... this is astounding..."
    "Can you erase her memories and reprogram her?" Shuurin asked curiously.
    The researcher looked at him some what surprised and some what not understanding. "Why.. yes, I suppose we could, but why would we want to do that?"
    Shuurin took two menacing steps towards the smaller man "Because, I want her. I want her awake, and I want her completely loyal to me. I want her to do whatever I ask."
    "Why, why.. yes, we can.. It shouldn't be to hard, she has a technorganic brain... Shouldn't be to hard to access her memories and implant new ones."
    "Good. Then do it." Shuurin ordered, then turned to leave.

    Over the course of the next few weeks Shuurin kept a close eye on the pace of the reprograming of the girl that had been named Kyuujyuukyuu after the number on her pod. When he felt that the process was lagging he made his presence known and immediately the pace picked back up.
    On the forth week, he was informed that she would be ready within the next few days. He decided it would be better for his plans if he was there when she awoke from her "coma." It would better suit his image of concerned mentor and teacher. It turned out that she awoke much sooner then could have been anticipated. When he got to the lab she had been in, she was awake and demanding answers.
    "Kyuu..." Shuurin spoke to her softly, "Please, calm down."
    "Shuu... sama?" She asked him confusedly, like she knew him but didn't. He suddenly felt his temper flair that the idiots didn't do there "easy" job well enough. "What's going on?" She ask him, seeming calmer.
    "There was a fight, you where injured and comatose. I'm sorry I couldn't be here when you awoke, but I had to take care of something." Shuurin spoke to her a softly and remorsefully as he could. He followed it up with his enticing grin.
    "It's.. it's okay.." Kyuu replied shakily. "I don't remember the fight..." She added somewhat confused.
    "It's to be expected. You have amnesia. They said it would be a strong possibility." Shuurin made up on the spot flawlessly.
    "Oh.." Kyuu said softly and walked up to Shuurin. "Can you take me to my room?" she asked.
    "Of course my dear." Shuurin said with a smirk. Even though they apparently screwed almost everything up, the got something right. She was under his thumb.

    Some where on earth. A young girl dives off a cliff into crystal clear water. She breaks surface at the only spot to climb out and rests her arms on the rock and smirks at the young man crouching there. "Enjoying yourself?" She asks smugly.
    The man grins sweetly "Of course. But did you know that there's a fish in this water that likes to swim up"
    "I'M wearing a bathing suit thank you very much." She interrupted him.
    "Yeah, but that never stopped this fish. Actually, it's more like an eel..."
    "Well Rokujin, if this 'eel' tries it, it will find itself cut in two."
    Rokujin blinked. "Er... ok." He pulled his long black and silver striped hair back and took off his shirt before climbing up to the diving rock.
    The girl smirked and hoisted herself out of the water and pushed back her shoulder length blue hair so it was out of her eyes. "Careful 'Jin. It's slippery..." She warned him too late.
    "Ahhhh!" He yelled as he slipped off and hit the water making a splash.
    "You ok." She said mockingly.
    "Haroko I swear.. I WILL get you." Rokujin declared as he swam towards her.
    "Yeah Jin. If anyone can get our 'Ice Queen' you can, right?" A new voice said. The figure was standing towards the path back through the woods. Despite the hot day, he was wearing a long hooded cloak.
    "As IF Hayato." Haroko said coldly as she got up and walked away from Rokujin as he was getting out of the water.
    "Hey Hayato. And thanks for the vote of confidence, but I don't think anyone could get her to loosen up. By the way, you're a bit late."
    Haroko strolled over to a flat rock that the sun was shining on and layed back in the sun. "Couldn't be avoided." Hayato apologized. "You know how it is. Someone wants to take over your home, and then they find out it's not as easy as they thought."
    Haroko's ears perked and she sat up on her elbows. "Who was it?"
    "I don't know." Hayato answered.
    "Didn't they have any of the clans markings?" Rokujin asked.
    "Nope. They weren't even human." Hayato replied.
    "Did you call Cloudewalker?" Rokujin asked.
    "Yes."
    "What did they look like?" Haroko asked.
    "Monsters. Seven or eight feet tall, immensely strong and ugly. Large spikes at the ends of their arms. No hands and not a lot of brains." Hayato explained. "Obviously, who ever sent them either was testing me, or they simply didn't care about the things."
    "Was there any brandings?" Haroko asked curiously.
    "Nope. That's the oddest thing."

    Kyuujyuukyuu was sitting in the most comfortable chair she'd ever seen, or remembered seeing. She didn't feel to comfortable, and she kept glancing at Shuurin. Something was nagging her, but she couldn't put her finger on it. He smiled at her and winked. She had spent the night with him, at his request. She simply felt like she had to obey him. Something told her, no screamed at her not to, but she couldn't help it. It was like she was programed to. The weird furry guy, Guei was his name, was explaining to her that her mission was to go to earth and spy on the people at the earth temple. He said something about them being the ones that had killed her people, along with a few others, years before. She didn't remember having any people, Shuurin told her that it was the amnesia. She didn't really know, but she simply had to trust him. She knew no one else. Guei was explaining the people at the temple and their powers. Hayato Yokoyama had total control over the earth. She wrote that down and made a note to keep him away from the land if she fought him. Rokujin Daikoku was a warrior in training. He was learning to fight from Hayato. Not much was known about him. Lastly was Haroko Jurojin. Shuurin smiled at the picture of the young blue haired girl. Kyuujyuukyuu shuddered as she realized that he wanted her. She didn't know why that bothered her so much, just something about it did. Evidently Shuurin saw her involuntary shudder.
    "Anything wrong?" He asked her.
    "No Shuu. Everything's fine. Just got a cold chill." She replied warmly.
    "OK. Are you ready to go?" He asked her.
    "Yes, I believe so."
    "Good. Guei will show you to the pod. You'll land there not long after our first wave strikes."
    "Yes, that's good." She replied and got up and walked to the hanger not really waiting for Guei.
    "Is this wise sir?" Guei asked Shuurin after she left.
    "Yes, if she fails she not worth the time it took to reprogram her. If she pulls this off, the she'll make an excellent addition. Don't you think?" Shuurin asked self assuredly. He put his feet up on the table and Guei sighed and left to follow Kyuujyuukyuu.

Haroko decided to dive into the water one last time. She didn't see the pod streak across the sky as it entered the atmosphere. She dove into the water with out making a splash. When she came up she saw perhaps the most beautiful girl she had ever seen. The girl's blond hair was shorter then her own, she wore a red jacked over a black shirt and black shorts with thigh high leggings. The girl smiled at her. "Hi. My names Kyuu."

To be continued.
