This is the start of my second story called: Sasuke's neko; Naruto! *applause of the readers* Thank you, thank you, you guys are really amazing! :p

Alright first things first, this may look like the story 'Battle arena' from N.V.9
But it isn't! I've read her story and I even have it in my favorite list but this is going to be different.

Now that's out of the way! :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or its characters *sigh* Imagine the things I could do if I did!

Sasuke Uchiha, 11 years old, is great in almost everything he does and according to most of the female population; he is the guy they all dream of. His raven hair, pale skin and attitude appartently make him the ultimate dream guy. There is only one problem; He's totally unreachable. No one seems to be worth his precious time except his closest family members and his one and only friend Neji Hyuuga.

This made his older brother Itachi worried about him. So today, one day before Sasuke's 12th birthday, the elder would go to the pet shop with Deidara and his parents to look for a companion. It surprised the Uchiha that his father would come along, but he figured that the old man wanted to be sure that his youngest son would be getting a good one.

So, here they were in the local pet shop in the center of Konoha City. As Itachi stepped into the building he inwardly smiled at the memory of the last time he was at this place and got his own pet; Deidara.

Deidara is a bird humanoid. His long blond hair with blue eyes to match made everyone want him and very jealous of Itachi for having such a beautiful creature. The raven got him when he was around the same age as his little brother now. When Itachi visited his Uncle Madara a couple years ago, he met the large shark humanoid Kisame. The two clicked instantly and from that day on he wanted a pet just like Kisame.

However that plan completely changed when his eyes landed on Deidara. So Instead of a big, strong and dangerous type. He choose a small and cute one.

At first his father Fugaku disagreed, saying that taking such weak thing will damage their family reputation. But Itachi stood his ground and with the help of his mother Mikoto, who loved the blond almost as much, they were able to convince him as long as Deidara would be participating in various contests.

The humanoid didn't seem to mind at all though, he looked at the contests more as games. And if the judge thought you were good enough, they'll give you prizes! Deidara's face would light up every time he thought about those. They're always so pretty and shiny.

Itachi walked around the big shop with his blond not far behind him, searching for the perfect pet for his brother, but so far they had no luck.

His father went looking at the other side of the store where the Inu section was, while his mother went to the bird section.

''Ne, master Itachi, what do you think of this one un?'' Deidara asked, holding up a small female neko/mouse hybrid with long dark blue hair. On her purple collar was written her name 'Hinata'. She blinked and crooked her head to side, looking at the human in curiosity. ''Meow?''

Deidara grinned ''Isn't she cute un?''

Itachi sighed. This is going on for over an half an hour now, whenever his blond finds something he starts to act all excited and feels the need to show it to him. It was strange and it seemed to get worse everyday. The raven thought deeply, thinking about what could have caused for Deidara to behave in such way. 'Hmm, Deidara is 15 years old already, almost at the end of puberty and on the edge of adulthood to his spieces so perhaps that's it. Mating season is coming up too'

''Master un?'' Deidara asked. He was confused, his master usually doesn't space out like that and his staring made him feel quite uncomfortable. ''Master Itachi?'' He tried again, trying to catch his attention.

This time it worked and the Uchiha snapped out of any trance he was in. Deidara looked at him with concern. ''Are you okay Itachi-sama?''

Itachi nodded and glanced at the neko who was still in the bird's arms.

''Yes I'm fine, now put her back and keep searching for a male , we only a few hours left before Sasuke comes home from school'' He said as he turned around to look at more neko's for his baby brother.

Behind him Deidara pouted and put Hinata back to follow his owner. 'I have a feeling this is gonna be a long day un'

Sasuke sighed as his English teacher repeated his boring lecture. You'd think think after spending weeks of studying the same chapter over and over again, everyone finally gets it by now. Wrong! With the exception of his friend Neji, the whole class was just plain stupid. Sasuke mentally rolled his eyes, and then they dare to ask why he doens't hang around with any of them.

He turned his head to look at the scenery outside, not that there was anything interesting going on though, it was the same as always; birds chriping in the large trees that surrounded a boring and empty playground.

His left eye twisted when he felt Gaara's fuzzy tail brushing against his leg from under the table. Gaara was Neji's tanuki, a raccoon dog humanoid he got a few months ago. Sasuke didn't like him at first but they sort it out; Gaara stayed out of his way and then the redhead received a cookie.

Sasuke sighed again and grabbed a chocolate cookie out of his bag. He held it under the table and the cookie and tail were gone in less than a second.

The boy glared at the brunette sitting next to him. That was the 5th one already! When Neji felt a pair eyes on him, he looked to the side and saw the raven's onyx eyes glaring. He raised an eyebrow in question. Sasuke's frown deepend and pointed at the raccoon. Neji chuckled and only gave a strug in reply. The 11 year old gritted his teeth as he felt the tail curling around his leg again. After 5 minutes he lost his patience and hit Gaara on the back of his head, only to get his hand bit.

''Argh!'' he yelped, hissing at the pain of his now bleeding hand.

''Gaara! No biting!'' Neji hissed. The brunette knew how cracky Gaara could be, especially around Sasuke so he could tolerate his growling, but he didn't want his pet harming someone.

Gaara narrowed his eyes '' But he hit me!''

''I don't care, you know the rules!''

Gaara grumbled angrily, but said nothing. He knew better than talk back to his master.

Sasuke huffed at the sulking raccoon. The raven didn't know why his friend liked the redhead so much, and probably never will either.

Sasuke looked around, seeing almost half of his retarded classmates had a pet too. You know that some people say that the owners often look like their pets? Nothing has ever been so true.

For example; There is this pink-haired girl called Sakura bought her bunny Ino just a few weeks ago, both having to much make-up on their face to make it all seem less ugly, both wearing too tight clothing and high heels as much as possible and they're both sluts to their own spieces.

Another one is the couple is Temari and her squirrel Tenten, the two share their love for weapons and are always very ambitious in compititions. Some people even go as far to say that the two of them are quite picky about choosing their parthers.

Sasuke hoped his own pet would look like him too. Strong, calm, controlled and intimidating to others. He smirked, yes that's perfect. He'll ask his father about it later when he got home. He'll never admit it, but he was very jealous of his older brother Itachi and others because they had one and he didn't. That would change soon enough though, he knew it.

And that was the ending of chapter 1 ! It is on the short side but it's not so bad if I say it myself :)

Please review so I know what you think!
