Here, Kitty-Kitty!
Summary: Naruto found an injured white little kitty during a rainy evening. He brought it home as he pitied her, much to the anger of his roommates, Sasuke, Neji, Gaara, Sai and Sasori. Wonder what will happen then?
Chapter One: Lost kitty
-------------------
Naruto's Point Of View (POV)
I was on my way home from my current school, Konoha High. The rest of my friends had went on ahead without waiting me, because I had cause a slightly 'tiny' problem on my previous math class with Ebisu-teme. Because of this, I was landed into a very log detention, and I was even forced to clean the toilets! Especially that for two freaking hours! Right now I'm so hungry and broke, and I needed ramen! Pronto! That damned Ebisu is so mean, you know!
I mean, I just accidentally spilled his perverted secret to the whole class (Class 1-D) and you should see how red his face was! Ha! Serves him right for peeping Shizune-nee-chan when she's changing! Tsunade-baa-chan heard that as well when she was passing our class, and you know Ebisu became all bloody in the next two seconds!! Even though I was really satisfied to see Tsunade-baa-chan beating the hell out of him, I am still not satisfied because of the detention!
Baa-chan could've prevented Ebisu-teme from putting me in detention, but no, she just let it go! That granny will pay! Someday! I'm sure of it! YAY, you better BELIEVE IT!! All of a sudden, I felt tired of thinking too much stuffs like this. Maybe Iruka was right, I should've stop shouting for a while and let my head rest…Phew…
I groaned as I noticed the dark sky. The clouds were turning grey all of a sudden, meaning that it'll rain! And on top of that, I didn't bring my umbrella at all! This is so frustrating! First its detention, then it's gonna rain and it's like s---! Am I always unlucky or what? Or maybe…maybe February fourteenth is my unfortunate day? Sigh, when I thought about it, everyday was always an unfortunate day for me! Everyday, Tsunade-baa-chan would hit me like hell if I called her 'Baa-chan', but hey that was the truth! That was justice! And justice prevails!! Aha, aha, aha, aha!
Just as I was about to go on 'Masked Rider' mode, I noticed that it began to rain.
If Sasuke was to be with me, he'd be calling me 'dobe' right this moment. Neji would smack my head for my idiocy, as he called it, Sai would've talked about freaking dicks…and Gaara…well, Gaara's Gaara!
Hurriedly, I began to run as fast as my legs could carry me to find shelter from the seemed to be heavy rain. I winced as I heard the thunder boomed and closed both my eardrums to prevent myself from listening to the…unpleasant sound. I really hate thunders and storms, and no, I am NOT freaked out by them like girls! I just don't like them! You know, gloomy, sad and black, kinda reminded me of that bastard Sasuke.
Ah, there's my savior! An old, abandoned garage for me to shelter inside! Thank God for helping me today! I ran happily towards the said place, in hope that I could dry my already wet self there. When I reached inside, I gave out a sigh of relief and began tapping my foot impatiently, waiting for the rain to clear. If only there was not any precious stuffs in my beg that were not supposed to be wet, I'd already ran my way to my not-so sweet home, an apartment that I shared together with Sasuke-teme, Sai-teme, Neji-teme, Sasori-teme and Gaara. And guess who's the landlord is? It's none other than Umino Iruka! Yeah!
"Meow…mew…"
Suddenly, I heard tiny sounds coming from the garage I was sitting inside. Curious, I tried to find the source of the sound and as it got louder, I managed to figure out that the sound is coming from a cat! But since it sounds so faint, I guessed that maybe it's a little kitten. Poor animal, it must be all alone to meow so helplessly. After endless searching which took only ten minutes, I finally found the kitten. It was lying helplessly in a drain nearby the garage, with its leg badly injured. There was blood on it, and the kitten was soaking wet. I took pity on it and brought it home, not thinking the consequences and how my roommates would react to have a kitten in the apartment.
Tch, as if I cared about them! And I'm sure I could take care of this kitten myself! Believe it!
--------------------------------------------
"Come on guys, take pity on this lil' kitty! She's badly injured, look at her leg! If I didn't take it home, she'd be dying by this minute!" I wailed pitifully, quite forgetting what I said about taking care of the kitten myself. As soon as I reached home, Sai saw the kitten I had unsuccessfully tried to hide, and it resulted to the anger of Sasuke, Neji, Gaara and Sasori. We had an argument about the kitten, each of them wanting it out of the house. Man, are these guys humans or what? Don't they pity this little kitten? Sheesh, sometimes I think they are robots. Heartless robots, more like it.
"Pity my a--! This is all s---! Whose gonna train this animal? Whose gonna make it house-broken?" Sasuke asked me impatiently, angered by my actions. He hardened his eyes when he saw the kitty, not caring of its health. All he wanted is to avoid more troubles from his so not good life, and now there's a kitty that the idiotic moron brought home and then he was supposed to take care of it too? Nope, no can do. Absolutely not!
"Listen here dobe," he said threateningly. "You better take that kitty out of the house or I'm going to do it!"
I winced at Sasuke's threat, but otherwise was clearly unafraid of it. "Oh yeah, teme? As if!" I fought back stubbornly. "No way! This kitty is hurt! And its' still little! What are you, an emotionless robot?"
"He is, Naruto." Sasori cut in calmly, trying to stop our pointless argue. "Right, since both of you, and Neji and Gaara won't stop fighting, we'll think of something. Naruto, you can keep that kitty." Sasori said finally, earning a sheepish grin from me. Finally, for the first time he's thinking straight! "But it's on your sole responsibility. If any of us found the kitty as a nuisance, she's out!"
I immediately pulled a sour face. "Eh?" I said. "But I don't know how to make it house-broken! You guys are just mean!"
Sighing, Sasori scowled and turned towards the others.
"Since that idiot doesn't want to listen, you guys have to. Just…just help him to make that thing house-broken."
"WHAT? NO WAY!" The other four shouted simultaneously, hardly believing what Sasori had said.
"We've no choice," Sasori grumbled. "We just have to give up and help him. But Naruto, IF that thing is a nuisance, we'll throw it out from the third floor. Instantly."
"Right! Listen to that, Neko-chan?" I said happily, hugging the kitten tightly. The others scowled, with Neji saying, "Oi moron, you're killing that animal! Damn you…"
"Oh Naruto," Sasori added suddenly. "You're the one who have to buy food for that thing, and other junk. We're just going to make it house-broken, that's the deal."
There was a pregnant silence when I realized what Sasori had said.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAT??!!!" I shouted suddenly, hardly believing my ears.
"Moron…" Sasuke, Neji, Gaara and Sai added silently, slapping their foreheads.
"Why do I even bother being friends with him? He acts just like that f---ing Deidara…" Sasori mumbled discontentedly.
---------------------------------------
Normal Point Of View (POV)
"There, she's all healthy now, Naruto!" Shizune said after healing the kitten's wounds. Naruto gratefully took the kitten from Shizune and mouthed a "Thank you" before he left the Animal Clinic. You see, as soon as the heavy rain had stopped, Naruto immediately rushed to the nearest animal clinic, which coincidentally was owned by Tsunade's apprentice, Shizune. Being the kind woman she was, Shizune healed the kitten's wound without charging Naruto at all, and of course the blonde boy was very happy about it.
When the kitten was healed and bathed by Shizune, she gave it back to Naruto who ran towards his apartment eagerly. He was so glad that his new pet was saved! And he's even spared the ordeal of bathing the kitten! Now all's left is to name it and to make it house-broken! And the best part is Sasuke and the others have to help him as well! Yay for him!
Knocking down the front door of his apartment, he happily showed his friends the now uninjured kitten. "Tada! See, neko-chan is all right now! Told ya Shizune-nee would do something about it! And it's free too! Aha, aha, aha!!" Naruto added proudly as he danced the kitten high in the air. His friends just sighed irritably, probably too tired to deal with his hyperactive behavior. Sasori had an ugly, big, red, vein popping on his forehead, and he was wondering why the hell that he accepted to take care of the kitten.
"I really can't believe that we're doing this…" Naruto heard Sasuke muttered as he connected his head with the concrete cement wall dozens of times.
"Oh come on guys, it can't be that bad," Naruto said, grinning sheepishly as he noticed the frown on their looks. Anyway, is it that hard to take care of just one cute little kitten?
"Really?" Gaara suddenly said as he faced Naruto, then the carpet below him. Pointing towards the carpet, he said, "Then what are you going to do after that? Huh?"
Puzzled, Naruto looked at the pointed place and noticed something very horrible. He saw an ugly and stinking cat's poop on top of the said carpet, much to his shock and the others' annoyance. However, Neji's anger level began to rise dramatically as he shouted, "THAT WAS MY MOST PRIZED POSSESSION, YOU MORON!!"
"Alright, alright, white-eyes! I'm cleaning it!" Naruto said irritably, rushing to find the necessary items in order to clean the horrible mess his new pet kitten made. Grumbling as he began to clean Neji's carpet, he shooed the kitten away so that she won't pass motion for the second time on the carpet. As Neji turned on his back, Naruto stuck his tongue cheekily towards him and secretly patted his bottom. The kitten looked at him in amazement, wondering how in the world Naruto was able to do that kind of thing. She tried to copy her master's actions, but stumbled down in the process.
Noticing this, Gaara snickered silently. Maybe having a pet kitten wasn't that bad at all, except that all of them were to train it and make it house-broken. Otherwise, they'd be in a real trouble dealing with mostly Sasori's anger. Hey, who would like to see a big mess of kitten poop on their living room floor? Or even worse, on the floor of their precious bedroom? Gaara wouldn't.
A few minutes later, Naruto had successfully removed the dirt from the carpet, and he seemed very proud of the fact that the carpet was left sparkling clean. Sasuke smacked his head again, and Sai was wondering how in the world his friend got too much of idiocy in his brain. Neji looked contented to see his clean carpet, and Sasori, well, Sasori's Sasori.
Surprisingly, Gaara had taken a little interest of the kitten and was playing with it. He had a feather tied on his middle finger with a string and the tiny little green-eyed kitten was trying her best to catch the feather. She jumped here and there as Gaara moved his finger along with the feather, and the others were more than surprised to see his actions. Just a moment he was disagreeing to have the little kitten inside the apartment, and now he's playing with it! What the hell! Naruto advanced towards him and began to look at Gaara in awe. Quite forgetting the awkward moment of the stoic Gaara playing with a kitten, he stared interestedly at the kitten and Gaara.
Sasuke blinked.
Neji…Neji just stared.
Sasori had a raised eyebrow.
Sai decided to sketch the whole seen.
The world was really full of wonders, because Gaara had just formed a smile on his pale but handsome tattooed face, something that you can't see even for ten years. And it was just for the playful, nuisance of a kitten. Naruto was still oblivious about the smile, but had his eyes glued on the kitten and Gaara.
"Maybe that kitten is something…In any case, we better keep it," Sai spoke suddenly, the fake smile still plastered on his face.
-------------------------------------
The smiling Gaara scene had just ended, and Sai was scowling discontentedly as he missed some parts to draw in his sketchbook.
It was already nine o' clock in the night. The apartment room Naruto and his friends were currently living in was still noisy like always; today it became noisier with the presence of the kitten. Again, it had pooped on Neji's carpet without a single care for the world, but hey! It is a kitten, no?
As for both Neji and Naruto, Neji was beating the crap out of Naruto as he shouted, "She pooped again!"
"It's not my fault white-eyes!" Naruto shouted back, slapping his hand hard on Neji's head.
"Then make it house-broken you dobe! If she still poops on my carpet tomorrow, I don't care, I WILL throw her directly form the tenth floor of this apartment! You hear that?" Neji said angrily, kicking Naruto on the stomach. He chocked, but fought back by aiming a punch towards Neji who dodged it perfectly. Naruto grinned; satisfied that Neji had fallen for his trick. He then advanced towards Neji and gave him two blows that had successfully landed on Neji.
"If you don't want her to poop, then you got to help me make it house-broken, you freak-o!"
"The hell…don't you dare call me that, you damned fox!"
"I dare, freak!"
"$#&!"
"? #&"
"&!)(+54#"
"Either of you stop cursing or I'll throw you to hell!" Sasori shouted so suddenly, rubbing the temples of his aching head. Good grief, what had he done to receive this much of torture? At school it was that Deidara, and then at home it's these boys!! Suddenly, he felt something ticklish on his feet, and noticed that it was the kitten that Naruto had previously brought back. She was looking at him with those pair of dark, glowing green eyes of her, mewing innocently. Sasori felt himself softening, and he unconsciously picked the little kitten up softly. He tickled her ears, as she mewed in approval. Apparently, she liked what Sasori was doing and mewed even more for him to continue.
It was his turn to flash a smile and play with the kitten. Sai instantly grabbed his sketching tools and began to sketch the situation for the second time.
Naruto and Neji was still shouting and fighting despite the warning Sasori had give them just a moment ago, and this time it irked Sasuke who was busy watching the television. Turning his attention towards the two troublemakers, he angrily hissed, "Shut the f--- up, damn it!"
"You shut up, teme!" Naruto shouted back towards him.
"Butt off your pretty a-- out of this, moron!"
Thus, a fight involving three people has begun. Gaara was watching all these quietly from the kitchen, not wanting to have anything involving those three. He was wondering how those three would have the kitten house-broken by quarrelling, and how long would take when they realized that quarrelling is no good? So if Gaara was so uncaring about it, why was he walking towards those bunch and was trying to explain to them that quarrelling over a cat is useless? It's not that he pitied the kitten and didn't want it to be thrown away, no?
"We'll need more time to teach her and make her house-broken," Gaara cut in their arguments, at first receiving glares and then nods from them.
"How much time?" Neji inquired curiously, hoping that maybe it'll take just a short period of time.
"Tomorrow is Sunday, so if we tried hard, she'll be house-broken by tomorrow," Gaara replied once again.
"ALRIGHT! We're gonna try it now!" Naruto boomed suddenly, zooming towards the said kitten and trying to do God knows what.
--------------------------------------
Naruto's method:
Naruto grabbed the kitty from Sasori's hands, causing the puppet-master upset. He growled towards the blonde as Naruto said, "Don't worry, Sasori! I'm trying to make it house-broken!! You'll see!"
Upon that, Naruto took a thick tissue paper and crouched on top of it, doing some weird actions he considered as cat-pooping. The little kitten seemed puzzled, but nonetheless she tried to copy Naruto. Naruto saw what she was doing and began to shower her with praises, saying how clever she is. The kitten was proud of herself when Naruto continued, "Good girl. Poop-on-this-tissue-paper."
The others sweat-dropped on his silly actions.
Obviously imitating a kitten pooping isn't the best method.
-----------------------------------------
Neji's method:
Neji just grabbed the kitten and placed it on the tissue paper.
"Poop anywhere but here and you're dead meat." He said to the kitten, as if it was able to understand each word he pronounced. The kitten then moved towards Neji's leg and…
"AURGH!!! IT POOPED ON ME, #$&!!!"
----------------------------------------
Gaara's method:
… "I really don't know what to do now."
------------------------------------
Sasuke's method:
Sasuke casually walked to the telephone and dialed certain numbers nobody knew. Thirty minutes later, somebody came knocking on their house, handing Sasuke a mysterious package.
"Oi teme, what the hell is that?" Naruto asked him curiously, trying to get his hands on the square package. He failed to do so however, as Sasuke slapped his hands hard.
"It's just some stupid fragrance tissues, maybe that thing will poop on this stuff." He said simply, placing the tissue in front of the kitten. And what do you know; she did poop on top of that tissue!
Operation house-broken-kitty ended in a glorious success!!
