Chapter 1: New Home
He knew this plan was crazy and was putting all their lives on the line. Why couldn't the leader use his head for once? Then they wouldn't have to deal with this mess.
There was a big explosion behind them as they tried to escape. The explosion sent all ten of them flying in the same direction. It knocked them out cold and unconscious to the world.
Five miles away a girl, around seventeen, was heading to her home village, when the explosion went off. She whirled around ignoring her comrades that were telling her to ignore it.
"Shut up! You go on ahead and I'll catch up." She growled at the three men and other female and they flinched away from her.
"Whatever, bitch, you die not my problem." The other girl said and the younger girl glared.
"Leave, you old bat." She growled and walked off.
"I'm coming with you Sakura." One of the men said catching up to her while the other three left. The man had sun kissed blonde hair, glacier blue eyes, and a fox mask covering his face.
"Thanks Naruto." Sakura said and he smiled under his mask. In his eyes Sakura was beautiful, with her long pink hair, startling green eyes, and cream colored skin. The cat mask suited her perfectly.
They ran to the spot of the explosion and search the area for any injured people. Naruto came to a stop in front of a tree and called Sakura over.
"It looks like they got caught in the explosion. Are they alright?" Naruto asked and Sakura knelt next to them.
"They're breathing but some have cuts and bleeding. Come on, you grab five and I get the other ones." She said picking up five small furry bodies.
Naruto picked up the other five furry bodies and they started for the village. Something was telling Naruto that this was going to be a bad idea. They caught up with the other three at the gate.
"What are you carrying, bitch?" The female asked with her face twisted in disgust under her pig mask. The three males growled at her.
"Shut up, you old bat. At least I have a heart to save poor little animals." Sakura said continuing her way through the gates, getting stopped for a second then continuing with Naruto behind her. "Go ahead and report to Tsunade. Tell her I'm busy." Sakura called over her shoulder.
They made it to her apartment in no time. She unlocked the door and stepped inside. Sakura laid the kittens on the living room floor and she sat next to them. She removed her temporary anbu mask and sat it next to her. Naruto put the kittens he was holding down and looked at Sakura.
"Are you going to be able to heal them after all the chakra you used today?" Naruto asked and she nodded.
"Go on home. I'll talk to you in the morning." She said and he removed his mask and kissed her on the cheek.
"Don't over exhaust yourself, okay?" She nodded and he left. Sakura sighed and set to work on the small animals. She sighed after hours of working on the kittens she retired to bed. She hadn't realized some had internal bleeding and they all had concussions.
The next morning Sakura woke to a loud crash in the living room. She jumped out of bed and ran in the room. Her eyes widen as she saw her most prized possession on the floor shattered and the kittens staring at it.
"Oh goodness." She said and walked over to the vase and picked up the pieces. "Mother's never going to forgive me for breaking it." She mumbled and threw the pieces away. She walked back out and looked at the kittens. "Now which one of you did it?" She asked and they all backed up leaving a brown kitten standing there. She picked him up and he whimpered. She sighed and looked at the name tag, she just noticed.
"Well, Tobi, you've been a bad kitten. You want to know what that vase meant to me." The kitten looked up at her. "That the last thing I have of my family. Everything and everyone else was destroyed in the fire." She said and he licked her thumb apologetically. "It's alright, now are you hungry?" She asked and they all meowed. She walked into the kitchen and they followed her.
She went through her fridge and pulled out a large fish and threw it onto the sink while she pulled out some other stuff. She sat Tobi on the floor with the rest of them then went to butchering the fish. She sautéed it while cooking rice and small amounts of vegetables. She pulled out one big plate and ten small ones and fixed them. She sat a plate in front of each kitten and hers on the table.
"No eating yet." She said and they all whined. She looked at them and they shut up. She fixed them a big bowl of water and herself some tea. She sat down and they looked at her. "You may eat now."
She ate and watched them basically devour the food and water. She put her plate in the sink and scooped up theirs and went to her room and got dressed. She came back out and found the kittens all in her bag.
"You want to come with me?" She asked and they nodded. "Okay, I'm going to the hospital to check on my patients then going to train." She said to herself and walked out her door with the bag on her shoulder. As she walked the streets everyone greeted her and she smiled and waved.
"Hey, bitch, how are your rodents doing? I hope they died." The girl from her mission said and Sakura ignored her. "Bitch, I'm speaking to you."
"And I'm ignoring you." Sakura said and the girl spit in her face. "Ino, I'm going to ask you nicely to move on so I don't make a fool of you in public." Sakura said wiping the spit off her face. Ino snatched her bag away from her.
"What you going to do slut? You're too weak to do anything." Ino said laughing and opening the bag. "Ahh!" She yelled as one of the kittens jumped out and scratched up her face. Ino grabbed the kitten and threw it into a brick wall.
Sakura picked up her dropped bag and rushed over to Tobi. She picked him up and he whimpered. Sakura healed his cracked skull and cradled him in her arms. She continued her walk to the hospital as Ino yelled profanities after her.
"It is okay, Tobi, Sakura-chan healed you." Sakura said and he snuggled under her breast. She walked into the hospital and Tsunade greeted her.
"Hello Sakura, how are you?" Tsunade asked and Sakura nodded taking her patients list.
"Ino cracked this little guy's skull but he's fine now." Sakura said and Tsunade sighed.
"I'll see what I can do about her but for now do you're rounds." Sakura nodded and walked off. "Oh and put him away. One of your patients has a cat problem." Tsunade called and Sakura nodded.
She went through her rounds, putting Tobi away then taking him out when she left the room. She walked into her last patient's room and sighed.
"What did you do this time?" She asked and the nine year old boy grinned at her.
"I tripped down the stairs yesterday and broke my arm." Sakura sighed and ruffled his hair.
"You are always breaking something, Touzen. How are you feeling since the reset?" She asked and he smiled.
"Better then yesterday but it still hurts to move it." He said and she nodded. "Sakura-chan, what's that?" He asked looking at the kitten in her arms.
"This is Tobi, one of the ten kittens I have. He got injured earlier so I carry him around." She said and Touzen's eyes widen. She looked at Tobi and realized his fur was now a grayish black color.
"You have ten? Where are they?" He asked and she opened her bag and they all hopped out onto the bed. His eyes grew even wider at the colors.
One was a burnt orange color, two were blue but two different shades, another was blonde while another was red. Then one was green, another one was all white while the other one was light brown, the last one was black.
"Don't ask…I found them this way last night on the way home from my mission." Sakura said knowing he was about to ask about their odd colors. "They were all named when I found them but no return address."
"Sakura-chan, they're all cute. Are they all boys?" Sakura nodded and the light blue one hissed. Sakura picked it up and immediately apologized to the kitten.
"Sorry, Konan is obviously a girl." Sakura said and he laughed. "Well, Touzen, you are doing well so I'm going to take my leave. You better be good for your nurses, okay?" He nodded watching the kittens jump into her bag. Sakura kissed his forehead and walked out the room.
She dropped her patients list off at the front desk and left the hospital. She hopped from roof to roof until she reached the training grounds. She landed softly and was greeted by a loud Naruto.
"Hey Sakura, how are they doing?" Naruto yelled and Sakura sighed.
"There all fine. Ino got attacked by this one and ended up breaking his skull." Sakura said and Naruto laughed.
"Serves her right, she has no reason to mess with you. So is he alright?" Sakura nodded and sat Tobi down and let the other out. "They're all weird." He said and she glared at him.
"Naruto, don't call them weird or I'll turn you into a fox." Naruto whimpered and stepped away from her.
"Hello Sakura, why is kit hiding from you this time?" Someone else said and Sakura smiled.
"Hey, Sasuke, well he called my kittens weird and I threaten to turn him into a fox." Sakura said and Sasuke chuckled.
"You should do it. Hey Sakura, how are you?" Sakura smiled, she loved her boys.
"Hey Kakashi, you really think I should?" They both nodded and Naruto yelped when he felt a small prick in his shoulder.
"Sakura, this isn't fair." Naruto said before he fell on all fours and sprouting a tail, a set of ears and a muzzle with loads of fur.
"Now, what are we doing for training?" She asked as Naruto trotted over to the kittens and plopped down.
"Nothing, you have to watch Hinata practice. Showing her what went wrong and what goes right." Kakashi said and she nodded. "Hinata should be here right about now." He said and Hinata landed in the clearing. Kakashi and Sasuke kissed Sakura's cheek and went over to get the pouting fox. They picked him up and disappeared.
"Okay, Hinata, do what you need to do to warm up." Hinata nodded and Sakura went over and sat by her kittens. Hinata spent ten minutes stretching her muscles and relaxing her mind.
"I'm ready Sakura." She stuttered out and Sakura nodded.
"Show me your stance for you bloodline." Sakura said and Hinata dropped to her stance. Sakura saw that it wasn't comfortable for her and it was Neji's stance. "Okay, come back up." Hinata stood straight and two of the kittens trotted over to Hinata. The red one and blonde one, they started pushing at her legs and Sakura realized what they were doing. "Hinata let them guide you into a stance." Hinata nodded and let the little kittens guide her. Hinata was surprised because the stance was way more comfortable. "How does this stance feel?" Sakura asked Hinata smiled softly.
"It's more comfortable than the other one." She said and Sakura nodded as her kittens trotted back over to her. Sakura looked at the name tags.
"Thank you Sasori and Deidara." She said ignoring the bell going off in her head. "Okay, Hinata, try out that stance with your bloodline." Hinata nodded and started moving with her eyes activated but ended up tripping over her feet and falling on her face. She sat up and cleaned her face off sighing.
"This is a waste of time. I can't even stay on my feet." Hinata mumbled and Sakura sighed.
"You have on too much clothing. Remove the jacket." Sakura said and Hinata blushed removing her coat. She stood up and Sakura nodded. "Try it again and try to moving different from the normal Hyuga style." She nodded and positioned her feet in the new stance and tried it again but a little different, in the end she still fell on her face.
"I-I'm just m-making a fool of m-myself." Hinata said sitting up and Sakura sighed again. "Can I-I give up? I-It's useless to try a train me." She said and another one of her kittens went over to Hinata, it's was Konan.
"One more time and follow Konan." Sakura said and Hinata sighed. She gave it one more try and followed Konan's every move. She glided easily behind Konan and slowly started falling into her own style. "Much better, now keep practicing that way." Sakura said lying down; her body was still exhausted from last night.
Sakura hadn't realized she had fallen slept until she heard a loud meow in her ear. She sat up groggily and rubbed her eyes.
"What's wrong?" She asked and they nudged her in Hinata's direction. Sakura looked over that way and sighed. It seemed like Hinata had fainted. "I got her; you just get in the bag." She said and they all hopped in the bag and she put it on her shoulder. She walked over to Hinata and picked her up doing a simple teleport jutsu.
They appeared in her living room and Sakura put Hinata on the couch. She let the kittens out and they all crowded around her. Hinata had passed out from the heat which probably had something to do with her clothes.
"Well, guys, she's okay and will be up in a few hours. In the meantime, I'd like to welcome you to your new home." She said to the kittens and they purred happily.
