				In the dim light of the computer screens dotted throughout his laboratory, James sat at his desk, poring over pages and pages of experimental results.&nbsp; Removing his glasses and rubbing at his eyes, he glanced up wearily at the digital clock that had been bolted over the exit.&nbsp; "1:00 am... God, I've been doing this forever," he muttered as he rubbed his face with his fingertips.&nbsp; Indeed, and not just this night either.<br><br>James, along with his assistant, had been working on this serum for months, and it seemed that, finally, a working version was tantalizingly close.&nbsp; But it was proving difficult to lock on to a stable formula, and it was getting quite frustrating.&nbsp; Back at the beginning of the year, James had been approached by representatives from the United States Special Forces, interested in his dissertation on the possibilities of chemically enhanced warriors in a combat situation.&nbsp; Practically throwing money at him, they had urged him to put his theories to work, and to work for a prototype version of the serum for the possible use in America's future conflicts.<br><br>It had been a boon for the soft-spoken, dark-haired 27 year-old.&nbsp; A graduate of Purdue University in chemistry near the top of his class, and with a Master's Degree in theoretical applied chemistry, James was now hoping to use this project to propel him forward in his pursuit of a PhD. Never in his wildest dreams had he even begun to think that the government would support his ideas, or even be interested in funding his research.&nbsp; Now, however, he was exhausted, both mentally and physically.&nbsp; Glancing back at his computer screen, he scrolled down to the last page of the read-outs, glancing over the screen idly.&nbsp; "I just want to get back home and sleep..."&nbsp; As the results rolled by, however, his eyes widened in surprise.<br><br>"Wait... 375% growth?&nbsp; That... that can't possibly be right."&nbsp; James looked over the screen again, still disbelieving as he began to type.&nbsp; Running the diagnostic for his machinery, and the results coming up negative for any malfunctions, he finally began to believe, For the first time in months, James couldn't keep from grinning.&nbsp; This might be it!&nbsp; Scrambling for his cell phone, he fumbled with it for a second before he managed to hit the speed-dial for his assistant's number.&nbsp; He had told her he would only call her if there was an emergency.&nbsp; &nbsp;Surely this merited a call at this hour.&nbsp; Listening to the phone ringing, he hoped urgently that she would pick up.

				Aiko grumbled, her most pleasant dream up to date, involving a pile of catnip and a certain eye candy sitting on top of it, ruined by the piercing shrill of her cell phone. The twenty-five year old cat girl had spent the last few days buried behind mounds of paper work in an attempt to help James perfect the serum. Having finally decided that the sleep deprivation was starting to get to her when she swore she saw dancing cups of coffees, she had turned in for the night, only to be waken by a call at...<br><br>Her eyes squinted at the digital numbers flashing next to her. <em>One a.m.</em> She growled.<br><br>Usually mild-mannered and even somewhat shy, all of it vanished the moment she was interrupted in her catnap. Black hair sprawling over her shoulders in tangles, she dug the heels of her palms into her eyes, trying to ignore the ringing. <em>If I just ignore it, maybe it'll go away...Right.</em><br><br>With a sigh, she heaved herself up, her black ear twitching a little in irritation as she turned in the direction of the cell phone on the nightstand. Picking up her glasses, she slipped it on over the bridge of her nose, the silver-wired rim glinting as she turned on the little light on the nightstand.<br><br>"James." Her voice was still a little hoarse from her four precious hour of disuse during her sleep. "This can't wait until morning? I'm going to see you in like...four hours anyway."

				Sensing the irritation in his assistant's, and friend's, voice, James flinched a little in spite of himself.&nbsp; He hated to see her angry, he would much rather see her smiling and laughing as she often did. In spite of her dour mood, he could barely contain the excitement in his voice as he spoke.&nbsp; "Aiko... I apologize for the late hour, I know you were sleeping, but... well, there's been a development here."<br><br>Lowering his voice a little, James continued on, his lips curling into a smile.&nbsp; "Remember that last set of tests we ran before you left?&nbsp; With the muscle cells taken from the chimpanzees?"&nbsp; He chuckled a little, still not believing it himself even though the results were blinking on the screen right in front of him.&nbsp; "The serum *worked*!&nbsp; The cells grew by almost 400%.&nbsp; I... I'm stunned, I had no idea we could get those kinds of results.&nbsp; It seems that little change you suggested that we make to the formula paid off."<br><br>Clearing his throat, he tried to bring his emotions back into check, blushing a bit in spite of himself.&nbsp; "I'll need you to come in to help me compile the paperwork and prepare our report for the sponsors.&nbsp; I know it's late, and I understand if you want to sleep for a few more hours yet.&nbsp; I'll probably just crash on the couch here myself, but if you could come in as soon as possible, it would be much appreciated.&nbsp; You've been an absolute dear the past few weeks, Aiko, and I promise... we'll take a well-deserved break as soon as I can report our progress."

				Aiko had picked up the digital clock and was staring at it as though she could turn back the time. Scratching the back of her head and stretching a little, she listened to James' first few words, barely acknowledging them. That was, until he pronounced the word that they had all been waiting for. "It worked?!" She echoed, her voice cracking a little, her eyes widening as the information registered in her brain.<br><br>Clearing her throat, she tried again. "It worked? But- This isn't some kind of sick joke is it?" She stood up, only to trip over her own feet as one of her foot caught the pants of her pajama. Picking herself back up, she shook her head a little, her tail flicking back and forth in excitement as she paced the room. "No, you're not the type to joke."<br><br>She flung open her dresser and quickly picked out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. "Yeah. Of course. I'll be right there." She said quickly into the phone before hanging up.<br><br>Fifteen minutes later, she arrived at the lab. The lanyard with her ID hung about her neck and the white lab coat about her again. Her long hair neatly braided and pulled away from her face, there was nothing save the faint circles under her eyes, that would have signified that she had been sleeping but a few minutes earlier.<br><br>She stalked over to James, her steps light and fast. "You're serious?" She asked again, not yet completely believing that this torturous project was finally coming to an end.

				James grinned as Aiko burst in through the door, hurrying toward him eagerly.&nbsp; They'd been friends for nearly two years, and he'd grown rather fond of the diminutive cat-girl, and her energy always lifted his spirits.&nbsp; Even in the midst of tedious paperwork, she always found some way to make him laugh, breaking the tension in the room.&nbsp; "You know me, Aiko, I never joke about something like this.&nbsp; Look for yourself."&nbsp; Standing up, he gave her a one-armed hug, squeezing her a bit as he walked with her toward the main display<br><br>Gesturing toward the monitor, the number, blinking bright red, was all-too-visible.&nbsp; "It's real.&nbsp; I ran a full diagnostic of the machine, and there's nothing to indicate an error.&nbsp; As far as I'm concerned, the machinery worked perfectly.&nbsp; I looked at the cells under a microscope as well, and they're... well, huge!&nbsp; Bigger than any muscle cells I've ever seen.&nbsp; It really worked."<br><br>Sitting down at his desk nearby, he went back to typing.&nbsp; "I'm compiling the report for our sponsors right now.&nbsp; Hopefully, we can get it faxed to them within the hour.&nbsp; I'll need you to make the necessary arrangements, set up the conference call, that sort of thing.&nbsp; Hopefully, by 8, we'll know if they're going to accept our research and give us the contract."

				Aiko's jaw dropped at the blinking number, her glasses slipping down her nose a little. Pushing it back up, she pulled out the pen in the pocket of her coat and a small notebook and began to jot down the numbers. <br><br>"I'll set up the conference call." She said as she began shifting into her work gear, turning into a miniature tornado in the lab as she spun around, snatching up the loose sheets lying around with the phone numbers of their contacts. Organized chaos, she called it. She'd always found the other man's penchant for tidiness almost a bit overwhelming. Her own form of organization includes tossing sheets of paper in the approximately correct area. By some minor miracle, she had still yet to have lost a single sheet of information.<br><br>Moving over to the phone, she dialed the numbers quickly and began relaying the latest information to a group of burly, half-asleep men of power.<br><br>After a few hasty phone calls and death threats thrown at her for being woken up, she placed the phone down. Her tail had yet stopped its twitching since she'd walked into the building. "They're assembling an emergency conference to be held at 2 a.m., James." She walked over to him and leaned against his back, her arms over his shoulders. "Think you're ready?"

				Looking over his shoulder, James reached up to give Aiko's ear a soft rubbing, smiling at her kindly.&nbsp; "Yeah, I just finished this report, actually.&nbsp; I think it should be fairly impressive, what with the amount of growth that we achieved.&nbsp; I can only hope that they agree."&nbsp; Turning in his chair, he lightly tugged Aiko into his laps to hug her properly, embracing her warmly.<br><br>"I know things have been rough lately.&nbsp; Long hours, late nights, but I've always appreciated your help, Aiko.&nbsp; You've been a life-saver with all the paperwork and other things.&nbsp; I can't thank you enough.&nbsp; You're a great friend."&nbsp; Giving her another squeeze, he turned back to the computer screen as it beeped.&nbsp; "Ah, good, it's done compiling the report.&nbsp; We're ready for that conference."<br><br>Grinning at her, he patted her back as she stood up again and he followed suit.&nbsp; "I might as well go get ready.&nbsp; They'll be making the call in about ten minutes."

				Aiko fair purred at the ear rub, her ears twitching a little against his hand. She tilted her head at him. The man was full of mixed-message to say the least. Giving an inward shrug, she smoothed her clothes before she took a look at his disheveled appearance. She grinned as she lifted a hand, trying to straighten out his collar.<br><br>"Glad to help, James. Just remember to split the bonus with me." She said teasingly. "And, James? It's a video conference call. It'll probably do you good if you manage to look somewhat put together...or look less like you've just stumbled in from the street." She said as she leaned against him, her fingers running across the stubble in his chin, her nose wrinkling.<br><br>"The conference will be held in Pod B. They'll call ahead of time. Or rather, some secretary will. So..." She glanced down at her watch. "That should give you enough time to take a quick shower and for me to grab us some coffee." She tilted her head again. "Sounds good?"

				James smiled and laughed a little as she brushed her fingers across his skin.&nbsp; "Good point... yeah, I'll just use the showers here in the building."&nbsp; Glancing at the clock, he nodded.&nbsp; "Should be enough time for coffee too, so that's fine.&nbsp; In fact, I could probably use the caffeine.&nbsp; I just don't want to miss the call."&nbsp; Giving her another hug.&nbsp; She was just too adorable for her own good.&nbsp; Maybe, after the deal was done, they'd have time to possibly be something more than just friends.<br><br>"I'll be in the showers down the hall if you need anything.&nbsp; Just knock on the door before you come in."&nbsp; Winking at her, he turned to start printing off the report.&nbsp; "Get me the usual medium mocha, I guess.&nbsp; No whipped cream.&nbsp; Or..."&nbsp; He smiles, tossing her a 10 dollar bill. "It's my treat.&nbsp; Get whatever you like."

				Aiko caught the bill with her usual fast reflex and shook her head at his turned back. "Real man drinks black coffee." She said, sticking a tongue out at him with a laugh as she left to the Cybercafe across the street, the only shop still opened on the entire block.<br><br>Fifteen minutes and a few glares exchanged with the equally raccoon-eyed barista at the cafe, Aiko stormed back into the building, one cup of mocha in one hand and a latte in the other. Her ears perked up inquisitively at the silence of the building. <em>Weird...then again, it's one a.m. What's the likelihood of someone else working like us.</em> But at the thought she nearly started spinning around in glee. Months of work and they have finally arrived at a result!<br><br>She headed down the hall towards the shower. Shifting the cups around in her hand, she knocked on the door. "James, I'm going to come in alright?"

				Hearing her knock, James spoke up as he finished drying his hair.&nbsp; "Yeah sure, come on in, Aiko!"&nbsp; When she entered, she would probably be surprised at the change in James' appearance.&nbsp; Discarding the lab coat, he had put on some nicer khaki pants, a dark green button-down shirt, tucked in with a belt, and a matching tie.&nbsp; He'd also shaved, leaving his face clean-shaven and smooth.&nbsp; As he finished drying off his hair, he began to run through it with a comb.&nbsp; <br><br>Seeing Aiko in the mirror, James gave her a little wave and a warm smile.&nbsp; "Ah, excellent.&nbsp; Coffee."&nbsp; Grinning, he turned and walked toward the cat-girl.&nbsp; Spinning in a circle, he smiled sheepishly.&nbsp; "Well, what do you think, Aiko?&nbsp; Good enough for the conference?"&nbsp; It was clear that James held his friend's opinions in high regard.&nbsp; "I'm not really used to dressing up for much of anything lately."&nbsp; Taking his drink from her as she offered it, he took a sip and smiled at her.

				"Um." Aiko's voice came out as a high squeak. She cleared her throat and tried again, horribly aware that her blush was probably even more apparent against her dark hair. "Yeah. It looks fine, James." She smiled as she sipped on her own drink. "At least it looks a lot better than before anyway." Her ears twitched a little as she looked around. "Though now I feel a little under-dressed." She gave a small laugh as she looked down at herself. "I look more like a college intern than anything."<br><br>"But I guess it's too late to spring home and change." Her tail swished behind her as she headed for the door and held it open for him. She smiled at him. "I'll just let you do the talking then, I guess. We'd better get going. You know how those video calls tend to run into trouble at the last minute."

				James smiled fondly and shook his head slightly, noting the blush on his friend's face and reminding himself to ask her about it later.&nbsp; "Don't worry about it, Aiko.&nbsp; Trust me, I doubt that the sponsors will mind much, considering how late, or early, it is.&nbsp; And, unlike me, you always look good, no matter what time it is."&nbsp; Grinning at his friend, he took another sip from his mocha and nodded.&nbsp; "Yeah, we should probably be going."&nbsp; Stealing a glance at his watch, he nodded again.&nbsp; "They should be calling any minute."<br><br>Opening the door for Aiko, he followed her out of the locker room / shower area and returned to the lab.&nbsp; Just as they entered, the phone near the main video screen began to ring.&nbsp; Walking over, James picked it up, holding a quick conversation with the secretary on the other end.&nbsp; A minute later, he pressed the speakerphone button on the phone and stepped back as the screen came to life.&nbsp; <br><br>The screen revealed a small conference room, in which four men in suits sat around a small table.&nbsp; "Good morning, Mr. Thompson," the apparent leader said.&nbsp; "We understand that you have some major results to report?"&nbsp; James nodded, calling up his report and the pictures of the chimpanzee cells, launching into an explanation of what had happened<br><br>A few minutes later, after James had answered a couple questions, the men in suits turned their attention.&nbsp; "Miss... Aiko, was it?&nbsp; Mr. Thompson says that you were the one who suggested the change that made this formula such a success.&nbsp; Is that true?"

				Aiko had been shuffling notes and paper together when she was addressed. She looked up, a bit flustered at being addressed. Her ears twitched a little as she straightened up, pushing her glasses back on the bridge of her nose. "It was a collective decision." She answered quietly, trying to resist the urge of playing with her tail as she always did when she's nervous.<br><br>"At any rate," She continued, catching herself and squaring her shoulders, "It is a success."<br><br>"Theoretically." The leader laced his fingers together. "All that we have seen so far are computer simulations. Granted, they are usually somewhat accurate, but we need some actual trials and results. Mr. Thompson," He turned his attention back to James. Aiko's ears dropped a little as she frowned thoughtfully. "When are you planning on moving on to human subjects and giving us some real results?"

				James blinked, looking a bit startled.&nbsp; "I had been under the impression that I would not be responsible for human testing.&nbsp; I thought that your researchers would take care of that."&nbsp; Frowning a little himself, he glanced at Aiko a bit worriedly.&nbsp; "However, we can make arrangements, of course.&nbsp; We'll have to get back to you on that once the testing is under way."<br><br>The leader nodded his satisfaction.&nbsp; "Very good, Mr. Thompson.&nbsp; Good work.&nbsp; If you do not contact us within a week, we will make the call to check on your progress.&nbsp; Good day."&nbsp; With that, the screen flickered and went black.&nbsp; James sat back in his chair, blowing air out from between his lips.&nbsp; <br><br>"Human testing?&nbsp; I'd never even thought of how we would do that.&nbsp; I mean... our machine could accommodate a person, but I have no idea how it feels.&nbsp; I don't know how I would feel about subjecting volunteers to it without them knowing what to expect."&nbsp; Looking at Aiko, James sighed and smiled a little.&nbsp; "Well, at least they're happy about the progress we made."

				Ever the pessimist, Aiko looked less than happy at the new conditions presented. She leaned against the table, her expression thoughtful. "I don't know how we're going to get volunteers." She grimaced, her ears laying flat against her head now. "We can't go with the regular procedures, we can't really guarantee that there would be little to no risks involved." She stuck her tongue out at the blank screen. "I don't see how we're going to be able to get any volunteers."<br><br>She sighed, shaking her head before flashing a smile at James. "Should I go catch a few mice to start with then?" Her tail curled about her, the end of it tapping against her thigh. "Not like they can object to anything." She tilted her head as she crossed her arms, her ears perking up again. Aiko was always a horrible poker player, every subconscious twitch of her ears giving away whatever hand she held. "So what is our next move?"

				James sighed and rubbed his temples, thinking quickly.&nbsp; "I really got the impression that they want human testing.&nbsp; Though I would want to go forward with animal testing... we technically already did that, didn't we?&nbsp; I doubt they would want us to do anything more with other species.&nbsp; I... well, I would volunteer to test it on myself, but I need to be out here to operate the machinery."<br><br>He stood up and began to pace.&nbsp; "We can't do volunteers, you're absolutely right.&nbsp; It's way too risky for anyone outside the project to be involved in testing right now.&nbsp; If anything went wrong, we'd be in lawsuit city."&nbsp; Suddenly, he stopped and smiled a little.&nbsp; "We found that female cells were somehow more susceptible than males, right?"<br><br>Glancing at Aiko, he looked a bit nervous as he spoke up.&nbsp; "Maybe... maybe you could be the test subject.&nbsp; I know we found no indications that it would be an uncomfortable experience.&nbsp; But, of course, it's completely up to you, Aiko.&nbsp; We can always find another way."<br><br>

				Aiko watched his pacing, her own mind spinning with possibilities and working out ideas. It all came to a stop at his suggestion. "Me?" Aiko squeaked, more mouse-like than anything. She chewed on her lower lip for a minute while she slipped off her glasses and stared at the floor, spinning the glasses about her fingers.<br><br>She exhaled slowly and pushed her glasses back on the bridge of her nose again. "I guess." She gave him a small smile. "Though you do know that I'm totally going to come after you if I get any weird mutation outside of the expectation." She joked a little as she pushed away from the table and squared her shoulders. "Me and my extra six limbs and tentacle legs that is." Giggling a little, she stop before him and tilted her head back to look at him. "Let's get started then?"

				James laughed and nodded, reaching to give Aiko another hug.&nbsp; "Yes, let's get going.&nbsp; I synthesized a good dose of the stuff, thinking that they might want a sample of it, but now..."&nbsp; Stepping toward the main console, he pressed a couple buttons, getting the machinery going.&nbsp; "Now, it should be more than enough to provide a good test with you."&nbsp; Smiling at her over his shoulder, he continued to punch buttons and monitor gauges.<br><br>"Go ahead and step inside the chamber, Aiko.&nbsp; Oh, and if you're going to be growing, you might want to wear as little as possible so you don't destroy your stuff."&nbsp; Hitting a button, the door to the energy chamber slid open with a hiss.&nbsp; Inside was a chair in which Aiko could sit if she wished, set on top of a small platform connected to various wires.&nbsp; "Just let me know whenever you are ready, and we'll begin."<br><br>Looking at his friend once again, James gave her a gentle, reassuring smile.&nbsp; "You'll be fine, Aiko.&nbsp; I'll be right here the whole time, and I'll be ready to stop the process at any time should you tell me to do so."&nbsp; He'd never really noticed how pretty Aiko was before, and now he couldn't help but feel a little protective of her.&nbsp; "I'm sure it will be quite fun, actually."

				"Wear as little as possible?" Aiko gave a shaky little laugh as she watched the door open. She tried dispersing her nerves by giving James a teasing grin as she looked over her shoulders. "You sure that isn't just an excuse to see me wearing as little as possible?" She shook her head with a grin before moving aside.<br><br>Pulling off her lanyard and her lab coat, she tugged off her jeans and t-shirt, revealing a set of simple, white, bra and thong. The latter simply because she couldn't manage wearing panties with her tail. She was going to spin around thus but gave a shrug and pull on the lab coat again before pulling off her glasses.<br><br>She turned to James. "Figured I can always use my spare coat." She explained as she headed for the chamber. Grimacing a little and pausing at the door, she took in a deep breath and entered. She sat down on the chair and gave James a small smile.

				James smiled back at her warmly, nodding as she sat down.&nbsp; "That should be fine.&nbsp; Now then..."&nbsp; Pressing another button, the glass door slid shut with a hiss, sealing Aiko inside.&nbsp; The fans began to whir, pumping fresh air into the chamber as James pressed the necesary buttons.&nbsp; "Alright, now, this is what's going to happen, Aiko.&nbsp; The serum will be converted into a gaseous form, filling the chamber so you can breathe it in.&nbsp; Once you have done that, the platform and chair will be energized, doing the same, in turn, to you.&nbsp; Once that happens, the process will begin."<br><br>Flipping the initiation switch, Thomas then moved to stand in front of the door, observing.&nbsp; Smiling at Aiko, he pressed his hand up against the glass as the serum gas began to flow into the chamber.&nbsp; "Just relax, Aiko, you're going to do great."&nbsp; As the seconds passed, her breathing would bring the gas into her lungs and bloodstream, her heart pumping it throughout her body.&nbsp; Once ample time had been given for the gas to be integrated into her body, and all the gas in the chamber having been brought into her body, James reached to press another switch.&nbsp; "Here we go."<br><br>The chamber filled with a low, electronic hum, and the platform beneath Aiko started to vibrate.&nbsp; Soon, the vibration travelled up through the chair, and then into her body.&nbsp; As it hit her tissue, pulsing, tingling heat suffused her completely.&nbsp; It felt as if her entire body was humming to the same harmonic as the room.&nbsp; Slowly, her muscle fibers began to twitch and pulse, sensations that were, surprisingly, quite pleasant, if a bit odd.&nbsp; The pulsing and twitching intensified, along with the humming in the chamber.&nbsp; James looked on with anxious eyes as his friend's body began its transformation

				Aiko stifled a whimper as the chamber doors slid shut. She gave a small nod at his instructions before sitting down on the chair. As the gas filled the room, she suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation before she got a grip on herself again and began taking in slow breath. The cool gas filling her lungs, she leaned back against the chair and tried to relax. For a moment, she was able to imagine herself somewhere outside of the enclosed chamber. She looked up, through the glass and gave her friend a small smile and a nod, signaling that she was still fine.<br><br>The low humming jolted her out of her pleasant daydream. She jerked up from the slumped position that she had sank into, her tails twitching in agitation until a slow heat spread through her, followed by a soothing humming that left her purring and sinking against the chair fair boneless. Her ears flatten against her head as her purring grew more audible, too caught up in the sensation to give a report of anything. Her eyes closed and her tail twitched happily. Her muscles felt as though they were stretching out after a long time caged or stuck in a same position.

				Hearing Aiko's whimpers and purrs somehow made James smile.&nbsp; He was glad that she was enjoying this so far, and especially since there was much, much more sensation to come.&nbsp; As the seconds passed, Aiko would begin to feel quite warm, warming to the point that a thin sheen of sweat appeared on her skin as she relaxed from the feelings rippling through her body.<br><br>The pulsing continued to grow in both intensity and strength, the humming throughout the changer beginning to thrum and vibrate the very air around Aiko. Slowly, she would be able to feel, and James could see, her very muscles beginning to throb and pulse.&nbsp; Her veins swelled with increasing blood flow, and over the sounds of humming, Aiko would hear sounds of bulging and stretching.&nbsp; Starting in her arms, her muscles began to grow at an impressive rate.&nbsp; Every breath, every beat of her heart made them grow.&nbsp; Rippling, powerful muscle bulged beneath her pale skin, and James could not rip his gaze from the sight. "My... my god, it's working... Aiko..."<br><br>

				Aiko shifted a little, the purr still rolling in the back of her throat as a film of sweat began to appear over her skin, as though she had been sprayed by a fine mist. As the humming intensified to a pulsing, she squirmed a little, the fur on her tails standing up. She knew that James would be watching her every movement as well as her reaction to the humming, and the thought both embarrassed and excited her.<br><br>But her attention was turned back to her arms as she heard the sound of clothing being ripped. Looking down, she saw her lab coat shredded and slipped off of her as her muscle grew. Her pulse drummed loudly in her ear as she watched the muscles that use to be quite non-existent despite her attempts at keeping a regular schedule at the gym appear, sculpted and sleek.<br><br>She gave a small yelp as her bra strap snapped, leaving a red mark against her still pale skin.

				James was astonished by what was happening to the diminutive... well, soon to be formerly-diminutive cat-girl.&nbsp; Aiko had never really been blessed with a very curvy body, her build more lithe and slim.&nbsp; Now, however, that was a thing of the past.&nbsp; James's jaw dropped open slightly as he watched Aiko's shoulders beginning to be pushed apart by the growing ladder-work of muscle bulging slowly up from her waist toward her neck, her back and abdomen becoming thick and chiseled with powerful muscle.&nbsp; He could only imagine the feeling of it as he watched Aiko writhe and squirm in the chair.&nbsp; He couldn't help but be aroused at the sight.<br><br>The yelp and snap from inside the chamber startled him from his thoughts, and James gaped as he watched Aiko's chest filling out and growing.&nbsp; Beneath her ballooning breasts, Aiko would feel new muscles growing and firming up to support the increased weight of her bust.&nbsp; Her breasts jiggled and bounced as the changes bombarded them.&nbsp; As Aiko watched, her bouncing flesh rapidly grew past the size of grapefruits and kept right on going.&nbsp; As Aiko moved about, her newly muscled arms flexed powerfully, the sound of them growing and stretching beneath her skin filled the chamber.&nbsp; &nbsp;

				Aiko flexed her fingers experimentally and moved her arms, feeling the way the muscles rippled beneath her skin and responding to her commands. Sounds of faint popping continued as the muscles continued to grow at a slightly slower rate. She ran a hand down her body, feeling the muscles along her abdomen before turning her attention to the biggest change.<br><br>"Oh my." Was all she was able to manage at the new size of her chest. "Hope this change doesn't occur on males. Talk about identity crisis." She gave a small giggle, making her breasts bounce. She squeaked again in surprise as they grew even more. She mewled a little before catching herself again. Her voice was nervous, a little higher pitch than her normal pitch. And as always, Aiko struggled to diffuse her nerves by cracking ill-timed and not-so-coherent jokes. "Although I guess it would work as a kind of distraction...beneficial or detrimental depending how it's used?"

				James laughed and nodded, his eyes still a bit wide as he spoke.&nbsp; "I doubt it would happen to men, Aiko... the serum just changes a single physical gene and leaves the rest untouched.&nbsp; I think this is just a manifestation of the enhancement.&nbsp; I must say, though, it looks like you're really liking it."&nbsp; He winks, smiling fondly.&nbsp; "You're doing so well, Aiko... it's not going to be done for a little while yet, though."&nbsp; <br><br>As if the machine heard James' words, the thrumming seemed to gain volume and power, and the sensations surging through her growing body picked up in frequency and intensity.&nbsp; The twitching and throbbing of her muscles became even more heated and pleasurable, and she would feel the urge to arch and stretch herself out as much as she could.&nbsp; As she felt that, her muscles in her legs began to bulge and ripple, making loud sounds of stretching and pulsing as the muscle fibers thickened and grew.&nbsp;

				"Not done yet?" Aiko was beginning to get a little edgy when she felt a ripple shot through her. She gasped sharply and threw her head back, arching out of the chair as she felt her muscles ripple, her ears flat against her head again in her pleasure.<br><br>She purred, both her toes and tail curling at the sensation. A soft moan broke from her lips as she abandoned herself to simply sink into the sensation, forgetting that she was under the observation of James. She folded her legs to her chest before stretching out again, her tail tapping against a leg of the chair.

				As Aiko stretched out, it seemed to cue one of the last changes.&nbsp; Her whole body began to stretch out, and before James' eyes, Aiko's whole body began to get taller and just get bigger overall.&nbsp; Her hands grow bigger, broader.&nbsp; Her feet stretch out, gaining size to match the rest of her as her whole body bulks up and becomes taller.&nbsp; Beneath her, she can feel her asscheeks pulsing and growing, becoming an impressive size.&nbsp; Round and tight, a porn star would kill to have an ass like hers, and she'd gotten it with almost no effort.<br><br>As her body began to slow its growth, she would begin to feel something... different.&nbsp; Somehow, she felt more sexual.&nbsp; More erotic.&nbsp; Much more confident than she had ever felt before.&nbsp; And underneath it all, like a little voice in her head, she felt an intense desire to "mate".&nbsp; She needed to find a male to make her own.&nbsp; A male to give her what she now craved.

				Aiko purred again as she finished her stretch. Slowly, she stood up, her movements more languid and feline than before. Her tail, now having an even more glossy sheen, curled lazily behind her as she took experimental steps around the chair. She could sense a change that reached beyond her physical appearance. She felt more assured and confident than she'd ever been. <br><br>Her eyes locked against James from behind the glass and her smile turned predatory as her tail twitched behind her, another low purr beginning in the back of her throat as she leaned on the back on the chair. Her ears twitched a little as she watched her friend stare back at her, a crooked smile on her lips.<br><br>"Well, James," Her voice developed into a huskier, and smokier croon than before, "Aren't you going to let me out?"

				James blushed a little as he nodded, moving quickly to free her from the chamber.&nbsp; Something about Aiko was different, and not just her new body.&nbsp; She... felt different as well.&nbsp; Her voice was deeper... sultrier.&nbsp; And she seemed much more sure of herself than he'd ever seen her in the the years that he had known the cat-girl.&nbsp; She'd always been attractive, but now... her new body, combined with this change in her behavior made her all but irresistible.<br><br>The chamber's door slid open with a hiss as James moved back to stand nearby.&nbsp; "Umm... how... how do you feel, Aiko?&nbsp; I mean, you... you look quite impressive, obviously, but what does it feel like?"&nbsp; He was rambling, and he knew it.&nbsp; The sight of his friend in such a state was... well, he'd never imagined that she could get like this.&nbsp; He was embarrassed by the fact that, in spite of his efforts, his arousal was beginning to show, bulging beneath his pants.&nbsp;

				Aiko smiled as she moved out of the chamber. She sidled up to him, hooking an arm about his neck as her other came up to stroke his chin. Once at least a head shorter than him, she now stood at his level, meeting him eye-to-eye, and the range of emotions flashing through his eyes was even more intoxicating than their physical proximity.<br><br>"Good." She all but purred out the word, her voice now designed to lure preys into her trap. And her current prey? James. She gave him a sultry smile as she let her hand drift down. She drew a finger over the bulge in his pants, bringing her face close enough to his that her lips brushed against his when she spoke. "But apparently, I'm not the only one that feels good, am I?"

I think we should compile the results... look over the readings... report to our sponsors..." He found his mind clouding with lust, and he swallowed nervously.&nbsp; "I... I've never done this... not with you... you're my friend, that's all..."&nbsp; James couldn't keep his eyes from wandering down to Aiko's impressive chest, her round, full breasts, topped with thick, tempting nipples.&nbsp; "I... I must admit, you are very attractive... a-and not just now..."

				"Funny thing." Aiko breathed, her teasing fingers turned into strokes. Her pace slow, she nibbled lightly on his lips before pressing her lips against his, her tongue coaxing his to dance against hers. She pulled away, her eyes darkened with lust. "That's what your mouth keeps saying, but everything else of you seem to indicate differently."<br><br>She backed him against the table and pinned him down against the surface, her eyes glinting mischievously at him. "You sure you don't want to?" She murmured, her breasts pressed against his chest. All the while, her hand stroke him through his pants at a steadily increasing pace. "I can stop, James. But I don't think you want me to, do you?"

Aiko, I think I've been falling for you ever since we met.&nbsp; I never had the guts to tell you, but now... well, I don't need to tell you."&nbsp; His erection grew quickly from her touch until it was straining to be freed from his clothing.&nbsp; "Please... please, let me try to please you, Aiko."&nbsp; He groaned and began to quickly scrabble at his shirt buttons, trying to remove his clothing for her.

Instead, she set to work on his shirt, her movements tortuously slow as she leaned down, keeping her eyes fastened on his as she licked and nibbled at each portion of flesh revealed with each button slipped. "You are going to please me, James?" She laughed quietly, her breath hot against his skin as her teeth closed around the patch of skin about his navel and tugged lightly. "How?"<br><br>Her fingers pushed the button of his pants through the hole and she sank down to her knees, closing her mouth against his clothed erection as she breathed hotly over it, her eyes watching his reaction carefully.

Her head tilted to a side, she began pumping his shaft, her tongue swirling around the head of it lazily.

I can feel you rippling around me too, it feels incredible."&nbsp; His back arches and he bucks up even harder as he felt Aiko's teeth sinking into his neck, the little point of pain adding to his desire even more.&nbsp; All he wanted was to please her, to make her desire him as much as he did her.

				Aiko gave a breathless laugh as she licked at the bite. "Like I said," she murmured, "I aim to please." She purred as she grind against him, feral instinct rising again to bite him in his neck, marking him as hers even as her hips moved against his in rhythm. "Though you know," She purred, "I could have took that as an insult...I wasn't aware that you thought me to be a 'loose' girl, James." She said with a low laugh.

				James grinned and leaned up to kiss Aiko's lips, continuing to rock his hips up and driving his cock deep into his lover's body.&nbsp; Dragging his fingers down her back and over her rounded ass, he suddenly looked slightly confused even as he continued to thrust his hips.&nbsp; "Unnngh... Aiko, I'm feeling warm all of a sudden... tingly too..."

				Aiko managed to dredge up that scientist part of her amidst the fog of her lust. She stopped and looked at him, pressing her hands on his shoulders. "Wait. What do you mean?" Her expression was somber. They hadn't done any check on the effects that...interactions between serum-altered subjects and those of the norm. Her eyes scanned his body, trying to ignore the fact that he was stark naked and more for any changes that might be occurring to his body.

				Aiko moved back a little, hissing a little as he pulled out from her. She raised an eyebrow, but her ears flattened a little in worry. They had no experience with how the serum would act if transmitted like this. "I think you're about to find out what it feels like to be...big." She said, trepidation lining her face as her tail twitched a little behind her.

				"You... what do you mean... the serum shouldn't be able to... unnngh!"&nbsp; James groaned and arched his back as another powerful pulse raged through his body.&nbsp; As he arched, Aiko would be able to watch as the muscles of his lower abdomen clenched and began to bulge.&nbsp; The sound of them stretching was quite loud, and as James felt it, he groaned and dragged his hands across them.&nbsp; His eyes were wide as he felt the beginnings of powerful abs and obliques.&nbsp; <br><br>"Oh god... Aiko, it feels... I had no idea it felt like this..."&nbsp; His skin began to glisten with sweat as he felt the telltale warmth surging through his veins, and he let out a pleased sound.&nbsp; "It's incredible..."&nbsp; Shuddering, he groaned as the pulsing traveled down from his stomach, traveling over his waist as he felt his behind tightening and bulking up, lifting his hips up off the table.&nbsp; "Oh my god, I'm going to be huge..."

She murmured as she watched the transformation, her eyes widened a little at the way the muscles rippled and begin to form, sculpting the muscles. <br><br>Her tail twitched behind her as she fastened her eyes on him, the sheen of sweat on the newly formed muscles were enticing to say the least. She swept a tongue over her lips, only the knowledge that it was probably a bad idea to interfere during the transformation holding her rooted to that spot a few steps away from him.

I think it's turning me into your match... your mate..."&nbsp; He groaned again, his eyes clenched shut as he curled his arms inward, flexing his back.&nbsp; As if on cue, the muscles there exploded and rippled, growing quickly as he let out something akin to a roar of effort and pleasure.&nbsp; His whole body was lifted off the table by the growing muscles as they bulged and grew into dimpled ridges from his shoulders to nearly his waist.&nbsp; His shoulder pusher outward, becoming broader as they too bulge with new power.&nbsp; Thick veins pulsed beneath his skin as he cried out again

"Now that could be interesting." She murmured, her tail not stopping its flicking yet.<br><br>Her lips quirked a little at the broadened shoulders. "And now...the next development should be..."

Before her eyes, his body was being enhanced beyond his, or her, wildest dreams.&nbsp; His hands clenched into fists as he could feel his arms thickening, and his hands rapidly grew to match his more powerful arms, becoming wider and longer.<br><br>As if he felt her gaze upon him, James looked at Aiko, blushing a little as he finally realized what she was looking for.&nbsp; He opened his mouth to speak, but all that came out was a grunt of pleasure as he felt his crotch tighten and begin to pulse.&nbsp; Even though he couldn't really see, he knew that soon, he would be more well-endowed than most men could even begin to imagine.&nbsp; "Oh god, it's growing... it... how big is it, Aiko...?"

				Aiko watched as the muscles in his arms formed. They looked almost foreign on the scientist's body, whose frame Aiko had always considered more of the slim type. The table rattled behind him as he clutched at the edge, threatening to knock over the tower of paper that had build up on the surface during their trials and errors throughout the project. <br><br>Grinning, Aiko took a few steps forward before running a finger over his newly developed muscles, feeling the way the muscles rippled beneath her fingers as her tail came about to curl about his leg.

She purred as he pulled her up against him, rubbing against him almost involuntarily as her smile widened a little at his erection that was pressed against him. Then she felt the rumble of his groan in his chest and felt the shudder through him. <br><br>Her eyebrows shot up in surprise at the ears and the tail that appeared on him. Lifting a hand, she stroked the ear a little, startled by that addition to her transformation. She gave a small laugh at the purr before she wrapped and laced her fingers behind his neck. "You're not going to be able to beat me at poker any more, James." She said with a small smile as he pressed her up against him. She leaned into him, edging a leg between his before moving against him slowly, the new, feral look in his eyes making a delicious shiver shoot through her.

Aiko's life as a researcher gave her little to no time to actually hold a relationship, or at least, hold a steady one for long. <br><br>Their tails entwined, her eyes closed as a particularly strong thrust made the hum of pleasure running through her body spike.

The action gave a clear signal. She was not the one to submit.

				James flushed a bit, nodding as he stepped forward.&nbsp; "Yes, sir.&nbsp; It is.&nbsp; As you can see... well, besides some side effects, the serum works beautifully."&nbsp; Gesturing to Aiko, he couldn't help but smile as he looked at her.&nbsp; "Aiko here was a willing test subject, and our machinery indicates that she experienced a 250% increase in muscle mass as well as a 25% growth in height."&nbsp; Turning back to the view screen, he smiled even broader.&nbsp; "And what's more... the serum seems to be able to pass itself through physical contact as well, so the actual machinery needed to transform any potential super soldiers is limited."

				As James spoke, Aiko put the graphs of the results up on the screen behind them. Her ears swiveled and she looked up when her name was mentioned, giving him a small smile. <br><br>"Well..." Aiko's ears flattened slightly when she felt their gaze upon her. "That's most impressive. However, through what kind of physical contact? We wouldn't want the soldiers to be spreading the particular characteristics to just simply anyone and..." There was a note of disapproval in his voice. "Would the characteristics of the individual soldier be passed on as well?"

				James was a bit startled and had to think for a moment before he could respond to their questions.&nbsp; "Well, it seems to be tissue-to-tissue.&nbsp; Aiko and I... well, my transformation happened as a result of intimacy, and we weren't trying to pass the traits on.&nbsp; I believe that, if the changed individual was really trying, the serum could theoretically be passed on simply by touching another person."<br><br>Looking at Aiko, the second question made James shrug as he looked back at the video screen.&nbsp; "Honestly, I don't know about what characteristics would be passed on that way.&nbsp; I doubt that with a less... personal transmission that few if any traits would be passed on."

				"We want the benefits of the serum to be limited to those we want to administer it to, Mr. Thompson. It does no good to anyone if any civilian can acquire the traits as well without any supervision. You are given-" The figure leaned over and a hushed conversation ensued. Nodding, he turned back. "You and your assistant have exactly three months to fine-tune that formula of yours to include those specifications."<br><br>Aiko's ears flattened once again. "Sir, it has taken us this long to figure out the serum, we will need more time-"<br><br>"Your supervisor should be the one to address any timing concerns." The man interrupted her. "What do you say, Mr. Thompson?"

				Clearing his throat, James came to Aiko's defense, looking at the man he took to be the director of this particular group.&nbsp; "Forgive me, sir, but Aiko is just as smart as I am.&nbsp; More so, even.&nbsp; The only difference between us is that I am done with my education, and she is not.&nbsp; In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if she eventually surpasses me.&nbsp; And as far as time goes, she's right.&nbsp; We'll need at least twice that time to iron out all the kinks and get the characteristics you want.&nbsp; You don't rush science unless you don't feel like hanging on to all of your limbs."

She muttered darkly as she shuffled the paper back in order again. Turning back to James, she smiled a little, ears swiveling. "At least they didn't give a deadline for this one. Yet."

She marveled for a moment at the way the glossy fur slid against her fingers. "Seems so, doesn't it?" Her smile grew. "We also need to get a new set of wardrobe it seems..."<br><br>She glanced at him. "Although I'm not sure how much time we would be spending in them as opposed to out of them."<br><br>Stooping to grab her bag, she slung it over her shoulder.

				The low murmur against her throat became a full-blown purr as their lips met again.<br><br>There was a lazy smile on her lips when he pulled away. Shrugging out of her the white lab coat, she left it on the back of the chair. She leaned against the side of the wall, tail twitching behind her. <br><br>"Oh we still might raise some eyebrows." She grinned at him. "Just not because of these." She twitched her ears slightly. "And if you don't mind mess," she lifted her shoulder, "sure."

"Thank God that the project is done." She wrinkles her nose, ears swiveling again. "Half-way anyway." <br><br>Her tail curled against his leg slightly as they walked out of the elevator. Outside, the city was beginning to buzz with life. Light filtered through the glass doors, the glare making her eyes blink rapidly. She rubbed her eyes, stifling a small yawn. Whatever adrenaline that the drug had sent pumping through her veins seemed to have died down a little, though she could still feel that feral nature, newly brought out of its dormant, continue to stir beneath her skin.
