Ranma's ear twitched ever so slightly, and his eyes narrowed. There was a slight change in low-pitched hum of the bases electrical systems.
"Ranma, what is it?" Kodachi inquired.
"The hum, can't you hear it?"
Kodachi pause blinked her silvered eyes. "What hum?"
"I think it's the electricity. It sounds like its changing... WATCH OUT!"
The lights died and Ranma pulled her backward as the door through which she was stepping sealed with a solid thunk.
Kodachi cried a lively "Eep!" in surprise and turned to glare at Ranma through the darkness using her improved night vision, and rubbed her manhandled alien like tale.
"Thank you, Ranma-sama." Kodachi said softly. "You've saved me once again." She did not remember him doing it, but she somehow knew he had. "But did you have to pull my tale?"
Ranma blinked, trying to adapt his eyes to the total darkness. "Since when have you had a tail?"
Kodachi blinked. "I..." she looked down at the chitinous, spike tipped, vertebrae like prehensile tail that whipped around through the air behind her. "I don't know..."
Ranma sniffed and gritted his teeth. In this proximity without airflow, Kodachi's scent was becoming intoxicating. "We have to get out of here..." he growled. "But I can't even see my hands in front of my face!"
"I can see," Kodachi replied.
"How?" Ranma growled in frustration. "It's pitch black in here."
"I don't know. How did you know the door was closing?"
"I heard it start to his. It was not very loud but you should have heard it..."
"I heard nothing..."
Kodachi paused and looked intently at Ranma. Even her superior vision was dulled in this much darkness, but with focus she was able to make him out in detail, and gaped in shock.
Ranma was not as she remembered him prior to the single-minded blur of their escape. His body had undergone several drastic changes. She could see the faint outline of sub-dermal chitinous armor plates, armored spurs on his knees and elbows, and his fingers and toes ended in retractable claws. With a side glances she saw that his member was semi erect, a fact that fueled the fire in her groin.
Kodachi turned around and shook her head, trying to clear the burning desire, the overwhelming urge to procreate, was slowly eating away at her self-control. She took a deep breath to steady herself, but the air was already saturated with Ranma's musk, and thus was of no help.
"Ranma-sama," she said whispered, "You've changed too..."
Ranma blinked. "I have?"
She nodded. "You have... claws and armor..."
"I do?" Ranma ran a hand down his front and legs, checking for himself.
"I... I do."
"What's happing to us?" Ranma wondered.
"We're changing, my love," Kodachi replied.
Ranma looked in the general direction of her voice with an indignant scoff. "I know that, but WHY?"
"I do not know, but we will find out..."
Ranma paused, and once again shook his head in a futile attempt to clear the growing urge to breed. He paused for a moment and a thin smile came to his face. Slowly he approached her and placed an arm on her shoulder.
"We're changing differently... maybe... maybe we're just adapting differently to what happens... but its makes it hard to work together..."
Kodachi smiled and absently rubbed her face against his hand. What are you planning, my love?"
"I... I'm sure these changes are in our blood... and I'm also sure that if we could copy them some how..."
"How so my Ranma-sama?" Kodachi purred.
"I... I don't know." Ranma admitted, "I thought you'd have an idea..."
Kodachi smiled and pressed herself up against him. "I think know how... maybe if we taste each others blood we could copy them..."
"And how.... Do we do that?"
Kodachi smiled and touched her nose to Ranma's. "A kiss, my love.... A kiss."
The two grabbed onto each other in a passionate frenzy. Their lips locked and their tongues intertwined, and they gave the others a nip with their sharpened teeth allowing them to taste the highly acidic ting of the others blood, and more importantly, the DNA inside which held the secret to the other current adaptations. Quickly the two began to change form, while locked in their passionate embrace. Ranma eyes slowly began to become the color of quicksilver, while his backbone changed shape and elongated, covering his spine with thick matt black armor while tapering out into a long tail tipped with a razor sharp blade.
Between moans of pleasure and need, Kodachi changed as well. Her ears quickly shifted into points, and while her flesh remained soft and warm to the touch, plates of flexible chitin armor began to grow between her muscles and her skin, giving her a strong sub-dermal carapace. Her fingers opened and closed of their own volition as razor sharp claws pressed out from under shifting flesh, and then retracted back under her dark black finger nails; she stretched her legs and moved her arms as bone and chitin shields shaped over her knee and elbow joints, each capped with short spine like projections that pressed through her skin, making them formidable defensive weapons.
Their bodies also under went many less obvious changes as they two adopted tricks and methods the other has adapted to increase their strength, speed, agility, or even to simply improve the efficiency of basic biological functions.
