A Breeder's World by BlueRibbon98

A new future?

Dear Diary,

You know i always thought it was everyone's secret wish to know that something they did changed the world. Well i don't know about everyone else but i know my wish upon the sacred jewel changed everything. I was hoping that my little add on of "may everyone help to preserve the earth' would make my friends realize the importance of the world around them. Instead it literally changed everyone in the world into realizing the preciousness of the earth and it changed the future.

When i returned home i was asleep in my bed. My room looked similar to what it used to. I still had pink walls and my bed and desk. But above my bed was a machine that took a moment to recognize. It was a machine i had once dreamed of to make school easier, one that taught you in your sleep so you never had to go to school, just log onto a computer for tests and new software for the next lesson.

Then in a rush a whole lifetime of new memories bogged me down. I realized that it was the year 2397. Four centuries later then when i was first born. Talk about surprises.

It seemed only moments ago i was waiting to return home to gas cars, trains and subways, planes, and the outrageously busy and polluted world of the year 1997. But in my new memories i gazed back into the history lessons and learned that once gas was realized to pollute the air they were banned. Everything that would cause irreversible damaged to the planet was banned and new ideas were thought up.

The shrine was no longer apart of the ground and the sprawling streets of the vast city of Tokyo instead it was no raised in the air upon the stacked levels of a domed city. From the outside it might look similar to a odd shaped rectangle spanning North to South to allow all levels access to natural light. All levels were cleverly designed to allow even the lower levels light at midday. The higher up you are the more money you have because the lower levels were apartments lined up and all the same except maybe the building color. Midlevel allowed for smaller complexes and more room and the top levels were almost individual homes belonging top the richest or political members in society.

The dome itself was ingenious made solar panels that caught enough light to run the city but also allowed light through. The entire city was carefully climate controlled and air was either recycled or cleaned and let out of the city and new brought in. Air pollution was taken seriously and people were careful what was allowed to leave the city. There were cameras everywhere and also a sprinkler system set up for fires and watering the indoor greenery. Large parks and Zen gardens were on each level so people could visit nature without having to leave the city.

Police patrolled constantly and especially parks for that is usually where the children played all day. Food stands were set up so children could have healthy lunches and restrooms were provided and watched.

Public transportation was neat. the sidewalks moved like in the old t.v. show the jetsons. Every morning and evening the sidewalks produced chairs that you could program to go to your destination so there was no need for cars. Large elevators between levels allowed you to travel that way and to also of to move purchases from store floors. Almost everything ran on some type of solar electricity or hydro power. Very clean and efficient.

Because of everyone being worried slightly about the environment the world wars never took place and technology was spurned on by the need for the cleanest and most efficient way possible. Boats were almost all still sails or man power but that was good because it was also used as punishment for those who committed crimes to serve several years rowing. Manufacturing was either done on the lowest levels or were spaced alongside the domes due to the burning of waste materials that fueled the plants. Garbage was either entirely recycled or burned in large furnaces.

The next big change that came to mind was that youkai were still around and actually integrated into society, the intelligent ones anyway. on the trail of that thought was the breeding program. My GOD!

Diary forget about youkai for now i just realized that instead of everyone falling in love and producing their own children they are genetically manipulated. Okay let me think. The breeder program was brought about by the decreasing health in humans and the overall drop in birth rates for youkai, so scientists began researching bloodlines and only those of the strongest and purest were allowed to breed. When scientists finally unlocked the secrets to building healthy DNA strands from those who weren't as healthy; their DNA was collected and mixed and inseminated into breeders. People now literally had to buy their own children.

Every woman whether human or youkai were tested by the age of 20 by a breeder house to see if they could become breeders or if they were to be fixed. Though the manipulation allowed for better health for resisting common illnesses and stronger bodies it did nothing for the problems that plagued mankind. There were no guarantees to a perfect child for they could have still all the problems like ADD, cancer, or muscle problems, ect. Youkai had better outcomes because they didn't have as many health problems and could breed with a youkai breeder or a human one. So every year a select few were chosen to become breeders and they were paid to bare the children for everyone else. Half demons weren't uncommon for every so many generations they breed all races outside of their kind so no species became inbreed. Manipulation had also shortened the time it took for a child to develop in the womb. Humans were down to 5-6 months and demons (from almost 2 years) down to less then 11 months. Since people had to pay for children if they weren't breeders it took a long time to save up enough money so scientists invented a wonder drug called prolong. Human life spans tripled allowing most to live almost 300 years.

The memories continue to flow into my brain and as i finally start to clam down from the informational overload my little brother comes barging in.

"Nee-san come on you don't have time to write in your dairy today we have to head to the western offices to get you checked out."

"Checked out?"

"Nee-san your so forgetful! Yesterday was your 20th birthday remember? i think you drank to much. Anyway get ready the lift is going to be here in 15 minutes." and with that he walked out.

My brain was slowly coming to realize what the western offices meant! Today was the deciding day on whether i remain in the gene pool. I shot out of my seat and into the clothes that had been laid out for me. i was wearing a outfit i thought should have been in a video game than on me. It was a white corset dress with sleeves that fell off the arms but connected to the wrist cuff. The dress was knee length and flowing off my hips. The shoes were shin high ballerina tied high heeled shoes. I quickly brushed my hair and left it lose. Stepping out of my room i noted the other changes around the house but unfortunately i had no time to study them as my mom took my arm and walked outside. A double bench seat traveling chair was outside. We sat down and my mother typed in the directions to where we wanted to go and off we went.

The sights were amazing as we traveled up and across levels of the city. As we reached the western offices my mind was blown away by the elegance of the building. It was free standing on the uppermost level with a large waterfall that went down to the bottom level. The waterfall came down into a lake like feature before falling off into a tube that traveled down through all levels bouncing off ledges and rocks so each floor had a fountain like feature to look at. The walk way up to the building was brass plated crescent and wide enough that fifteen people could stand side my side and still walk up to the building. The door way was made of glass and spanned easily two stories in height and flanking the door were two marble statues that i immediately recognized as Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. The statues faced each other swords drawn and crossed in a salute rather then clashing. The detailing was amazing and i also recognized the swords being the Tenseiga and Tetsusaiga (not the real ones just great cravings). I took a deep breath and followed my family into the building.
