Chapter Twenty-Eight
The problem with drugs was that they did not work well on Kitsune. Their metabolisms tended to adjust to destroy or purge any foreign substances quickly. The strength of Natalia’s shifting ability was working against the MRD team. They had run out of knock out drugs before they got to Osaka and now were dealing with a pissed off and highly skilled fighter. Even bound she managed to maim several of her tenders.
It took four men to drag her out of the transport plane and into the Osaka Military research station’s breeding facility. If InSec’s building was a shining beacon that made a person feel protected and awed, the MRD’s facility was a nest of warts, made of grey green stone covered with a thick plasticine shell. The walkways were made of ground shards of synthetic material, that drew blood anywhere they touched bare skin. Another two men came out of the building to aid in caring her.
Natalia’s hands were bound behind her back in special restraints designed to deal with shape shifters. In addition to the cuffs that went around her wrist, there was a rod of steel that pierced through her flesh to keep her from just shifting her hands to slip out of the shackles. There was a matching set of shackles on her ankles.
Natalia had shifted her hands, despite the pain, so that each nail was tipped with a knife sharp claw, and anytime she could she took a toll in flesh. They dragged her past the Leos guarding the facility, the men not even deigning look at her.
They walked up to the reception station were a nurse checked on her computer. “Take her to room Forty three B, her first mate has already been contacted and is enroute.”
“Good, can I watch?” Said one of the men in an evil voice. “They carried her up to the room, a doctor entering shortly later with a syringe. “How about I make this a little easier for you lads.” He offered as he jammed the needle into her arm. A heaviness began to race through Natalia’s system, making it harder and harder for her to struggle, harder and harder to move
They pulled her half limp form into the breeding room and strapped her to a metallic table. The shackles on the table were like the ones they had used to restrain her, with an extra restraint, though lacking the flesh piercing bar, to go around her neck, holding her head down. Natalia tried to fight but her muscles would not respond. The panic racing through her system was almost more than she could deal with; she was on the verge of breaking, of falling into a catatonic state to avoid the horror. She was holding onto her sanity by a thread.

She could see the doctor who had followed them into the room and a Kitsune male with dark brown eyes and short curly black hair. The Kitsune was wearing an all black uniform with no rank markings on his shoulder. Black Ops. The still cognizant part of Natalia’s mind whispered as the doctor stepped up to her retrained form.
“How did you get her to stop struggling?” Asked the Kitsune in an appreciative voice.
“It is a new sedative we’ve developed. We are just finishing the testing now.” said the doctor as he checked her vitals. “Unfortunately, someone leaked part of the formula and now there is a degraded version on the streets. Maybe you heard of it? It’s called Genie?”
“I’ve heard of it, but not as a paralytic.”
“That’s the beauty of it. It responds differently in Human and Kitsune populations. You see in Humans it acts as an upper and gives them delusions of grandeur while making them very malleable. In Kitsune like yourself, it is a paralytic. Because the drug uses Kitsune genetic material it can affect your kind for a reasonable length of time, even with this one’s dan rating it should be at least an hour before she can move.”
“Takes some of the fun out of it. Is she still aware?”
“Oh yes, completely.”
“Well maybe it will be fun, hey cutie, I’m number two on your rotation, I can’t wait to fill you with babies.”
“You know the rules. Wait till your allotted slot, No permanent or lasting damage to the breeders. Other than that, do your best. There is a nice bonus for impregnating her, better than normal because of her rating.”
Natalia’s heart was pounding in her chest, and terror scraped across her every nerve. She could do nothing, she couldn’t fight, she couldn’t move, because of the gag she couldn’t even scream.
“Alright everything seems in order.” The doctor nodded. “I’ll leave you two to become acquainted if you want t Remember it’s not your slot yet, you are just to guard her till her first partner comes.”
Natalia heard the door hiss closed as the doctor left. She watched as the male came up to her with his own set of claws. Slowly he cut what was left of her clothing off of her and tossed it aside. The lab air was cool on her bare skin, and she felt nauseous at his touch. Don’t panic, stay calm, you must stay calm. You can’t escape if you panic; you can’t escape if you go catatonic. You have to escape. Please Gaia, kill me quickly or help me escape.
“Blech... You smell awful! normally you high dan breeders smell better.” He walked across the room out of her line of vision. Suddenly an ice-cold spray of chemicals washed over Natalia, soaking her in the biting scent of antiseptic. She coughed and choked as the fluid ran down her nose.
“Maybe you will smell better after a bath.” Kitsune Guard leaned over her and sniffed.
“Eh, that’s a bit better.” She could see the daggers still strapped to his thighs. Even now, with her completely helpless the black ops male was not unarmed. Looks like you need another bath. But I think I wanna hear your sweet voice. He used a claw to cut her gag before dousing her in more cleanser. Laughing as she supered and gasped, aiming at her face to half drown her. “I hope your first partner isn’t up to the job. “I’ve never been with a seventh Dan before.”
The slim line of control she had broke as her mind went completely blank with panic, and her conscious mind fled to escape the brutality and pain of what was about to come.
