Me: All drabbles I start that don't really go anywhere I'll place here. Sora, Kit, and Lucifer are mine everything else belongs to Squareenix.
Sora: First Drabble: Kit, paintball guns and the Double Drencher! That can't be a good mix.
Me: But we'll all have fun.
Kit sat on the wing on the Tiny Bronco, playing on her guitar and listening to the odd harmony produced by her playing, Cid's tinkering with the Bronco's engine, and Talia's tail thumping against the wing at her feet.
She let the last note ring out as she reached for a cigarette and lit up. She had scarcely taken a drag when they heard a commotion outside the hanger. Kit and the Rocket Town pilot exchanged a glance across the Bronco's bare engine. Cid grabbed his spear, Kit grabbed her bo staff, and with Talia at her heels, all three ran outside to find Kit's brother Sora and their other friend Yuffie Kirasagi in a scuffle with nine boys. The Wutaian ninja princess seemed to be holding her own against five of them while Sora was having difficulty with the other four.
They dropped their weapons, grabbed two boys apeice, and hauled them away from the others. Talia, Kit's Kalm Fang she had raised from puppyhood, jumped in, tackling Sora and resting her weight on him while growling at the rest of the boys who quickly backed away.
"What the hell is going on here?" Cid demanded.
"Me and Yuffie were commin' from the store and we seen these boys throwing rocks at a puppy." Sora started from his place under Talia's butt.
"Sora rushed in to help 'em, and since he was outnumbered, I jumped in." Yuffie added.
Kit glared daggers at the small gang but her question was directed at Sora and Yuffie. "And where is the puppy now?"
It was Talia who answered, going around the corner of the hanger and emerging with a scrappy ball of fur in her teeth. Kit and Cid let go of the four they held.
"All of you, get home now. I'll let it slid this once. Next time something like this happens, I'll give you all a beating you won't forget." She growled.
"If you beat us, we'll just tell our dads and they'll come beat you up." The tallest of the nine growled back.
Kit looked askance at Cid. "May I?" This kid was gonna learn not to make threats to her real fast.
He nodded. "Go to it." He told her with a grin as he dug his pack of cigarettes out of his flight jacket and lit one up.
She grinned, showing gleaming white feline fangs as she slipped off her leather gloves and flipped off her black baseball cap, revealing silver cat-claws and black feline ears. Her black cat tail unwrapped from around her waist. She laid back her ears and hissed at them.
Upon the revealing of her feline aspects, the gang backed up so fast they tripped over their own feet. They turned tail and ran as fast as they could when Kit's spirit guardian Lucifer materialized beside her in his draconic form. He spread his leathery wings and growled. Feeling him materialize, Kit bust out laughing and Cid chuckled.
"Wusses!" Kit and Sora called after them
They watched the gang in amusement until they dissapeared then they turned their attention to the puppy that now sat between Talia's paws as she washed his ears.
"Don't even ask me if we can keep 'im. I think that's already been decided. " Cid grinned, watching the domesticated canine mother the pup.
" 'lia dear, can we see the pup when you're through playing mother?" Kit asked. The puppy looked at Kit than at his new mother and barked. Talia used her nose to nudge the puppy toward Kit. She picked him up and examined the tiny body for injuries. Now that he was semi-clean, she could tell what breed he was. He was actually a mix- the coloring of the german sheperd with the stocky body type, curled tail, and blue eyes of the huskey. She put him back down before Talia and the Kalm Fang resumed the pups bath.
"Is he gonna be okay, sis?" Sora asked.
"Besides having a few bumps and bruises, he's got a minor case of starvation. He's gonna be fine." Kit replied as she went inside and emerged with Talia's food and water bowls. Seeing the bowls, Talia's ears flicked back in disapproval.
"Oh stop it, 'lia. You scarcely eat this food anyway. Whenever you're hungry, you do 'take-out'" She set the bowls before the puppy, who happily ambled over and and stuck his nose in the food bowl.
"Take-out?" Yuffie asked as she and Sora sat on the ground to watch the puppy.
"When Talia's hungry, she usually goes hunting for it. Only when prey is scarce in the area does she eat from the bowl. You can only domesticate a wild animal to a certain degree." Cid explained.
"Talia, do you mind if we use your old collar for him?" Kit asked. Talia's tail wagged in agreement. "Sora, if you won't mind hunting for it when he's done eating. Only you know where you put it."
"Sure." Sora replied as Kit followed Cid back inside the hanger.
"What do you think of the puppy?" Kit asked as she hopped into the cockpit at his signal.
"Start 'er up." She started the engine and the small plane roared to life. Cid examined the part he had fiddled with as he replied. "Don't tell the the brat I said this, but he's kinda cute for a puppy."
Kit bust out laughing.
"What's so funny?" The Rocket Town pilot glared at her.
"The fact that you said 'cute'. I didn't think words like that were in your vocabulary." She giggled. Picking up a rag, he threw it at her. Kit caught it and threw it back, but because she was laughing, she missed him by feet, knocking over a can of lubricant instead. So she picked up Talia's rawhide bone off of the wing and flung it at him, hitting him in the head. "That's for throwing a dirty rag at me." She choaked out through her laughter.
"Oh, yeah?" He got a michevious glint in his eyes.
"Yeah!" Kit grinned.
"Run." He grinned wolfishly. With a laugh, she flipped out of the cockpit and ran out of the hanger, Cid not far behind. When she had gained a few lengths between them, she darted around the side and reaching into a box, pulling out an object. She pressed herself to the wood slats and as he ran past, she hurled the water balloon at him, hitting him in the back.
"Nailed!" She screeched, hurling another at him as he turned around.
"Water balloons! That all you got?"
"Nope." Kit grinned, casting her level one ice materia. "Now you're wet AND cold!"
"You're dead, Kittiana!" He lunged at her, knocking them both ot the ground. His hands found her stomach as he tickled her. Hearing a commotion, Yuffie, Sora, Talia, and the puppy ran around the corner of the hanger.
'Sora- Wood-en- box-water-bal-loons.' Kit sent Sora through her laughter. Grinning, Sora motioned Yuffie to follow him as reached into the box and came out with two water balloons. Grinning happily, Yuffie copied him. Silently counting to three, they threw the water-filled projectiles at both of them.
The two elders jumped to their feet.
"Sora!" Kit cried.
"You was in da way." Sora replied, as way of excuse.
"Bullshit!" Kit retorted as she ran to the box on the other side of the hanger and rummaged through it, comming up with an object.
"That all you got?" Cid asked, lighting up a cigarette.
She winked at him "Just watch." She grinned, throwing out her arm and firing twice. Bright spots of orange paint blossomed on Sora and Yuffie's retreating backs. He chuckled as they yelped.
"Ouch. That looked like it hurt."
"Mild bruises." Kit replied simply as she pulled the box in front of them and used it as a shield as Sora and Yuffie pulled out theirs from the other box and let loose. Thumps were heard as two neon green spots appeared. Throwing her arm over the top of the box she fired a second time and received a bright green spot on her ear.
"Mind if I join in? Two against one just isn't fair."
"So the old guy wants to play with the young bloods?" She teased.
"Jest hand me onea tem! I'll show you who's old!" His irritation made him slip into his southern drawl. Laughing, she reached into the box and handed Cid one and took a second one for herself. Grinning at each other, they jumped out from behind the box, blasting away. Within the hour, both Sora and Yuffie sported bright orange spots everywhere while Cid and Kit had barely been touched. Kit's ears were neon green instead of their ususal black and Cid's blue flight jacket sported neon green spots.
Shera chose that moment to walk outside.
"What in the world is going on here?" She asked, drying her hands on a kitchen towel.
"We was just showing these young bloods that these old folks can still kick their asses." Cid grinned, dampening a rag under the outside faucet and taking it to his jacket. He tossed it to Kit when he was finished and she took it to her ears.
"You know, Yuffie. That orange looks good on you." Shera grinned.
"Really?" Yuffie asked, seriously considering on adding orange to the ensemble.
"Nope." The older woman replied, laughing. Yuffie huffed. She looked around, searching for something. Her eyes landed on the orange splotched box she and Sora had used as cover. She grinned mycheviously. She went over to it, reaching inside and came out with a water gun, aiming it at Shera.
"Yo Yuff!" The petit ninja looked over at Kit. Her eyes almost popped at seeing the biggest pair of water guns placed on the summer market. The Double Drencher. While Yuffie had gone for hers, Kit and Cid went for theirs. "I dare ya to soak her."
Still grinning, Yuffie decided to test her and squirted Shera. Simulateanously, Kit and Cid opened fire. The Double Drencher lived up to its name, soaking the teen throughly. They all laughed at her major soakage.
"Well, you asked for it." Kit laughed harder.
"Oh yeah?" Yuffie growled, unhooking the water tank from the rest of the water gun and reaching for her. Still laughing, Kit leapt on top on the hanger.
"Nice try!" She called down, soaking her some more. She was unaware of Sora as he filled a bucket with water and leapt to the roof. Her ears twitched and just as she turned around, Sora dumped the bucket on her head. "Sora!" She cried, lunging for her brother. Still laughing, he took a flying leap off the roof. Soaking wet, Kit lept after him, tackling him in midair. He wings sprouted from her back and she kept him aloft in an unbreakable arm-lock. "Cid!" She callled down to the pilot, letting go of her brother.
"Gotcha!" Swinging the second Drencher up, he fired nailing Sora as he dropped. Kit folded her wings and dropping, catching him by the collar and lowering him to the ground.
"Teach you to dump a bucket of water on me." Kit grinned, dropping neatly to the ground as her wings folded to her back and dissappeared.
