animal transformation

okay now that we have confirmed you can make a few changes to your body lets test that a bit more thoroughly," said the voice.

"Like what," I asked confused by what they want.

"Rather than inanimate objects try changing to more animal like features," it said. also use those features to adapt to your environment. fish gills for instance."

"Okay," I said. I then try to imagine a fish's gills and I feel opening appear on my body. i smile at first before I frown and realize a small problem.

"Excellent," said the voice.

"Not really they are just for show," I said. They only change on the surface everything underneath is still the same."

"Are you certain," asked the voice in an annoyed tone.

"Yes," I tell them. "I can feel the nanites in my body and can tell they only changed the surface of my skin."

"Damn," said the voice. "How much knowledge do you have on fish gills.

"Not much just that they help the fish breath underwater and seeing them on a few fish.

"I see so is it a limitation of the nanites or your knowledge," they wondered out loud. "Something to determine later. how about you try wings or turning your hands into claws."

shrugging my shoulders i close my eyes and concentrate. rather than do one or the other why not do both. when thinking of claws my mind drifts to that first meeting with the Kyuubi. when it tried to attack me with its claws. for the wings i picture the wings of a hawk. my hands start to get itchy and there is weight on my back.

opening my eyes i see fur the same color as the foxes on my hands and feet. on my back is a gorgeous pair of hawk wings.

"Excellent," said the voice.
