Micki's POV
I growled as I listened to my annoying mom. "Look twurp, Andrew's game is more important, so..."
"Suck it up, don't be a baby, shut up. Yeah, I get it, you've said it million times already. Besides, who'd want to go on a trip with a bitch like you?" I interrupted. She glared at me, then sighed into Andrew's neck. I sneered in disgust as he smirked at me. Andrew was a first class jerk, who I would gladly use my steel toed boots on.
Andrew was the captain of a sucky baseball team, who were trying to go on a tour using my mother's money. Thanks to grandfather, who had owned a very large company that we still make money from, neither me or my mom would probably ever have to work. I did so anyway just so I wouldn't be stuck at home all day every day. Besides, I liked my part time job at the local cafe. Although, at the rate my mom spends money, we may soon need jobs. I love her to death, but the only men she dates are the ones who want her for her money. Of course, once I turn 18, it's all mine. Boy was she pissed about that.
The bright side was that while mom would be gone for a few months, I'd have the house all to myself. And I'd be damned if I don't invite over my friends. Plus, school was almost out for fall break, which meant no more going to that nightmare. My friends would practically live with me.
"Oh, don't be so dramatic you brat. This is more important than some dumb trip anyway." She hissed when she finally turned back to me.
I frowned and rolled my eyes, walking up the stairs to my room. I had tricked my mom into giving me this room when we moved here last month by complaining about the tree that grew just outside the window. Being the idiot she is, she made sure to put me there as soon as possible. I pulled back the red curtain and climbed out the window onto one of the many branches that was in my reach. Moving all the way back to the base of the tree, I leaned on the trunk and sighed. It hadn't always been like this between us. At one point in time, she was my everything, until that night...
I pushed the memory back, willing myself to be okay. The cold, crisp autumn air always helped me to cheer up. It was my favorite time of year, when it was cooler and the days were shorter. Summer was way too hot for my taste, and it just gave everyone an excuse to walk around half naked.
Something moving to my left startled me and I looked over to see a small, yellow furred kitten hanging onto a branch for dear life. I quickly, but carefully, pulled his tiny claws out of the wood and craddled him to my chest. Another meow came from the same direction and now a black kitten with an orange face stood on the branch, looking at the yellow kitten, meowing loudly. The yellow one arched it's back, hissing and spitting at the other kitten.
I reached over and grabbed him too, putting them both threw the window and onto my bed that was just underneath it. The yellow pounced the black one, rolling around as he bit, kicked, clawed and hissed. I would have broke it up, but it just looked so cute. A thump came from beside me as yet another kitten magically appeared in the tree on a branch close by. This time it was a silver furred, purple eyed one, who hissed even more than the yellow one.
I looked up and gasped in surprise.
Akatsuki's POV
"Damn it!" Hidan cursed, once again. "I can't believe that cat bitch turned us into furballs!"
"Hidan, if you don't shut up, I'll kill you." Kakuzu threatened, not even looking up from the spot where he layed in the corner of their cardboard box prison.
"Shut up you money fucking tightwad!" Hidan screeched back, adding in a hiss.
"Silence." Pein demanded in a calm voice.
"Pein?" Konan started slowly, having a bit of trouble putting her words together. "We need to find proper shelter and food. If we do not soon, we will all die."
The silence that followed was filled with tension from the members, realising just how bleak their situation truly was at that point. In these tiny bodies, the once deadly criminals were weak and helpless.
"Perhaps we could stay on that roof top. The high elevation would ensure that we would not be attacked, since the tree makes it easily accessable to us but not other animals like dogs." Itachi suggested, gazing at the house just across the street from their box. The house did indeed have a tree growing extremely close to the roof, making it an ideal place to stay.
"Alright, let's go." Pein said. "Everyone line up on the opposite side of the box, then charged at once." Everyone did as told, and the box tipped over from the akatsuki's combined weight crashing into the side at once.
They then ran to the base of the tree and began climbing quickly, taking refuge in it's limbs. "Well, that went smoothly un." Deidara said as he rested right to the oh-so-annoying Tobi.
However, the sound of the window latch as it was being raised seemed to disagree with the bomber.
My wonderful friend has been...irritating in asking when I was going to post this stupid thing, so here it is. Hope you're happy Kuzu-chan! You'd better write for me!
