A/N: Ok so I felt like the way I had Nano-cat set up, might be confusing, then I felt like it was weird to have all joking chapters then maybe two or three serious ones so, I took chapter two and three and will soon add another and put it here. The plan is to make this the one I put all the joke chapters in and then the main story to be more bad ass and serious. Sorry for the inconvenience I hope you all don't mind.
Chapter 1: Cat Quirks
"Hey guys." Kirito greeted as he entered "Dicey Café" to meet up with all his friends looking utterly exhausted.
Klein, Asuna, Lizbeth, Silica, and even Agil (who was currently cleaning a glass to sparkling perfection like he always seemed to be doing when one came in here) turned and acknowledged the arrival of the final friend of the group. And what an interesting group it was, brought together by a death game when all they had thought they were gonna get was a brief escape from reality when they first logged on.
To top it off just a year after everything Kirito went and got himself freaky cat powers; he really couldn't stay out of trouble could he?
"Hey man, you're late." Klein responded rather loudly.
"Ah…sorry about that but um…I was trying to get rid of them." Was Kirito's vague response.
"Them?" Asuna questioned as the rest of the group looked on, completely confused.
"The cats."
"The cats?" everyone repeated blankly.
Kirito just sighed before pointing to the window, "Look outside."
Everyone slowly got up and moved towards the window to see what their friend (or in Asuna's case; boyfriend) was referring to. They all just stared.
Klein was the first one to question what they were all looking at and of course he had to put it in the most ridiculous way, "Dude…Are you building an army of cats?"
Silence filled the room.
Cats, there were at least a dozen of them just sitting outside, most were just patiently waiting but some were making a point to make their presence known with many meows and scratches to the door. Passerby's stared and pointed, some asking others what was going on and others pulling out cameras to get pictures of the parade of cats outside the old Café. It was quite the confounding sight to see. Agil wasn't complaining much, it was more than likely good for publicity at least…Though he might have to repaint the door which wasn't a very pleasing thought to him.
Kirito on the other hand just looked embarrassed as he let out an awkward laugh to Klein's questioning as everyone else turned to him to wait for some form of an explanation.
"Well…I just am having a couple problems with cats following me everywhere I go…I try to avoid them and make them lose my trail but…well I'm starting to think cats are really everywhere" He finished as he rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment.
"Why exactly are they following you?" Lizbeth asked seemingly trying to hold back a laugh, though in Kirito's opinion this was not in any way or form funny, it was really starting to drive him up the wall.
"I don't know." It might have something to do with the fact that I'm basically a human cat, maybe they see me as their big brother or something? Kirito mused silently to himself.
"Do you have catnip in your pockets maybe?" Silica finally piped up.
Why the heck would he carry catnip in his pockets?
"No…No catnip here."
He was avoiding that crap anyway since the last time he encountered it growing in some old cat lady's yard…He rolled in it and rubbed his face in it, not unlike any other cat, much to his eternal embarrassment.
In fact he was finding more and more strange cat quirks popping up in his daily life that were not there before… Like his new found obsession with all things milk…when in fact he has hated milk with a passion all his life…
Or his new passion for eating fish.
Or even how shiny things prove to be an extreme form of distraction to him now… much to his annoyance.
Really now that he thought about it, He wasn't so sure if the cat powers were worth it after all…
"Well…whatever the reason get them to stop scratching my door, I really don't want to go through the trouble of repainting it…" Agil called over his shoulder as he walked back to his place behind the bar.
"R-right, I'll do that…" the look of horror on Kirito's face really would make one wonder if the little kitties were tigers in disguise or something. Asuna couldn't help but giggle, the situation was rather bizarre and they would be sure to figure out the cause later, but for now her boyfriend's reactions were rather amusing.
Kirito took a deep breath as if preparing himself for war as he slowly turned the door knob and rushed outside to shoo his feline fan club away.
Well what a wonderfully epic fail.
The minuet he rushed out the door one of the cats accidently got in the way of his feet and he made to avoid tripping over the cat so as not to hurt it, this of course resulted in him tripping over his own two feet and going down with all the wonderful grace of a falling cat himself.
If that wasn't the worst of the situation, then finding himself on his butt surrounded by a dozen fluffy and cuddly cats climbing all over him was…or maybe the fact that the door was still wide open for all his friends to get a front seat view to the whole situation.
Meow
Kirito deadpanned as one of the smaller cats climbed on top of his head and curled up in his hair like it planned to sleep there, not to mention that he had a cat on each shoulder and not a free space on his lap, or even a space where a cat wasn't rubbing up against his sides or back. He was beginning to assume that he no longer looked like a human, but more like a giant moving multicolored mass of fluffy fur.
Laughter, it started out as a couple small giggles and quickly grew as Lizbeth, Silica, and Asuna rose to hysterical at the ridiculous and in their opinions absolutely adorable scene before them…Even if Kirito himself was making a face like he had just been shot…
Asuna whipped out her phone and took a picture.
"Yep I'm making that my new screen saver." She giggled again
Klein and Agil looked on at the poor boy in pity; those girls were sure to torture him for the rest of his life because of this moment right now.
"Oi, Asuna send me that picture, I want a copy!" Lizbeth called out, Silica nodding her head eagerly between laughs as she spoke, "Me too!"
"Yep, you got it!" Asuna responded with a big smile.
Kirito almost wanted to cry.
Almost.
A/N: I hope you guys liked that, that's all for now…review what you think plz! Also if you have a vague funny idea of a cat based situation for Kirito to land himself in here… don't be afraid to put the prompt idea as part of your review. If I like it and feel like I can pull it off, I might just write it. ;)
