Chapter 1: Through the Looking Glass, A World of Lies

The world is cruel, plain and simple. To make up for that people make up their own realities, unfortunately people slowly begin for believe in those fake realities and soon are unable to deal with the true reality we call 'Life'. There is little truth in these so called 'realities'; the world is in fact ran and governed by these realities. So does that mean the world is nothing but lies? Is anyone or anything truly who or what they say or think? People need to wake up for their dreams that they call reality, only then can we actually accomplish something...

Nuru's PoV

I let out a sigh and blew a lock of my black hair out of my face. Why did I agree to this again? I visibly winced at the squeal that came from the two female teens on the floor in front of me, my two 'female friends/relatives'... Friends, right... More like annoying, leeching, obnoxious, moronic, idiotic, whorey, retarded, bumbling, preppy, bitchy, sluty, fucking wastes of space. Oh I could go on but many of the words are synonyms for already said words therefore I feel like I'm repeating myself and I hate doing so. I glared at Euphemia and Anastasia, both who were gossiping and watching that annoying, stupid, doesn't-make-any-sense 'Twilight' movie and even worse so- in my fucking living room.

Emphasis on my since my parents left the entire estate to me. Nuru Nephthys Cross, yes that's me, and before you ask my parents were archeologists and were obsessed with Egypt (hence my name). I have my mother's pale skin, body and brains while I have my father's pure black hair, eyes and skill according to my relatives and family 'friends'. Said parents are, in simple terms, six fucking feet under.

They didn't die while on the job like a tomb collapse or anything, or because of a 'curse' from a tomb, they died in a friken car accident. Another squeal...Okay, fuck it, that's it! I jumped up, threw my black trench coat on while grabbing my red ribbon to pull my hair into a pony tail.

I left a few strands out to accompany my bangs; I slid out my black gloves and boots and left the house. I slammed it closed on the way out. It was pouring out by I didn't care; I went to the only place I knew would be open- the cemetery with my family's graves. After walking the 15 to 20 minutes it takes me to reach the cemetery I was confronted with my old rival, the black gate around the whole cemetery. I chuckled slightly to myself, I'm not going to lose today and ruin my winning streak. I jumped the part of the fence closest to their graves on a hill. There was a oak tree right next to them, that oak tree has been there since I could remember and that thing has been my best friend since that day. I stood in front of the graves with my head bowed a little, and then I sat under the tree where it was actually dry.

Sadly I was totally oblivious to the twenty eyes looking at me from a box that I seemed to have missed.

Pein's PoV

I woke up to darkness with a killer headache. What the hell happened? Oh wait, Tobi/Madara pissed off Deidara again and said terrorist accidently blew up one of Sasori's experimental poisons creating a fog that filled the whole base. Why must Madara insist on pissing off Deidara? And why couldn't he just use a normal, non-idiotic alias instead? I opened my eyes and brought my paw to my head...Wait...Paw?

"...TOBI! DEIDARA!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. They are going to pay. I heard a small moan from beside me so I turned to see a cat that reminded me of..."KONAN!" I put my new paws on her shoulder and shook her a bit until she woke up. Her fur was the same color as her hair before and she had a white spot where her flower should be.

"Hmmm...? Nagato, what's go-" She stopped in mid-sentence, her eyes adjusting and growing wider once she when she realized I looked like-no that I am a cat. She then looked at herself and gasped. Her already wide eyes kept getting wider. We both looked around to see the other members of our criminal organization passed out, spread out and also in a cat form. Itachi and Madara were the next two to awaken. Madara was all black, except for his face which mimicked the orange swirl pattern of his mask, some fur was covering his left eye but it , surprisingly, didn't interrupt the pattern of the mask. Itachi was pure black as well but had a red ribbon tied to his tail which was flicking in annoyance and slight anger. All of us looked at each other, both Uchihas had their Sharingan flaring. "What the hell happened to us!" We all asked/demanded at the same time.

Unfortunately our conversations would have to be put on hold as the rest of the Akatsuki were awakened by our little statement. Once everyone woke up and was able to process the information given to them, they freaked.

"Why in fucking name of mother fucking Jashin are we fucking cats and where the fucking hell are we!" Hidan yelled, wait no, hissed. Kakuzu whacked him and hissed at him to shut up only to further cause them to fight even more. I was honestly ready to snap when I heard what sounded like footsteps on wet grass. I wasn't the only one since everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up to meet the face of a girl.

Nuru's PoV

I heard hissing to my side. I noticed a box sitting under the tree on the other side. It full of cats, rather weird cats too, only one of them actually looked normal... I take that back I swear the cats eyes went from black to red and back to black.

"I guess I can see why a normal person would leave all ten of you in a box under a tree in the local graveyard..." I said out loud on accident and their eyes widened. Did they understand what I just said? Nah, unlikely. "Since I have a heart, contrary to popular belief, I'm going to take you kitties home with me." I heard some noises that sounded like complaints and I narrowed my eyes. "So you want to live in a graveyard, with only a cardboard box under a tree as shelter? Even I know your chances of survival, even if you can somehow find food, are extremely low. I admit I am a bit of a heartless bitch sometimes but even I am not cruel enough to abandon those who I can help." Several of the cats seemed to take in the information slowly and come to a mutual agreement- they needed my help and I was willing to help them. Just then a load roar of thunder sounded through the area and I sighed. I took off my trench coat and put it over the top of the box. I heard a few muffled cries. I groaned and picked up the box which wasn't as heavy as I thought it should be.

"Quit whining ya damn furry things! I preventing you from getting wet and sick aren't I?" I on the other hand may not get off so well; I get sick all the time. Hell I can have a cold for a fucking month before I show any sign of getting better. It really is annoying. I decided to actually use the gates for once since I now have precious cargo. I started running as soon as I got out of the cemetery; I think I understand why my Art and Algebra teacher say I should join Track. The normal 20 minutes was pretty much cut in half by my running. The door per usual was unlocked and my 'guests' were long gone, hurray! ~

I closed the door and locked it. I set the box down and picked up my coat from the top. I scoped up all ten of the cats and set them on the floor. I tried to resist a shiver but I couldn't, the rain was extremely cold and my health issues make it worse. I noticed a few of the cats giving me slightly concerned looks and i just waved at them. "It rains a lot here. Get used to-" I couldn't continue my sentence caused I sneezed. "Fuck..." I groaned before heading up the stairs. I was half way up when I turned back around to the kitties.

"Stay there please, I'm going to change and get some more comfortable things that you can sleep on later if you wish." I called out before continuing my walk to my room. I quickly changed from my wet clothes to a more comfortable and warm clothing. I decided to wear a black turtle neck with the kanji for darkness on my left breast in white, black sweatpants that seemed to fit my shape rather well and I left my wet onyx hair down so it was at its full length. I heard my door creak open and I saw one of the kitties picking into my room. I smiled, it looked kind of cute, the kitty was all black but his face. It was orange with a swirl pattern on it. Some fur was covering his left eye as if to hide it. I motioned for it to come over by me and it did. I picked it up once it was in range and it gave a bit of a startled squeak. I chuckled and notice the cat was a boy. I held him a bit close to my chest and he snuggled closer and started purring.

"Either you're extremely nice and happy...Or a fucking pervert...I'm gonna go with the first one for now." I walked out of my room and closed to door behind me then headed down stairs. The rest of the cats pretty much did stay in the living room like they were told to. A few were fight, namely a red one vs. a blonde one and a white one vs. a black-ish brown one that looked like it had some stitching patterns. I coughed and they all looked at me expectantly. Odd behavior for a bunch of cats...

"Before any of my sad, pathetic excuses for family or any of the people I surprisingly see as friends stumble upon the fact I have you I'm going to name you. Considering some of the names they've giving previous pets you all should be thankful I'm saving you from the humiliation." I sit down on the coach where a orange cat with a bunch of black dots was lying next to what seemed like the only girl. I pointed to said girl and smiled. "You shall be named Hana, mostly for that little design on you head and the fact you're the only girl here I think." I noticed the orange one tense up a bit when I pointed at Hana and my grin got bigger. "Is she your girlfriend then? Well, I'm going to go ahead and name you Pierce since your pattern looks like piercings." If cats could blush I swear Hana did, Pierce just glared impassively per usual. I turned to the others and pointed at each one and said a name.

Red cat- Drocell

Black one with changing eyes- Nightmare

Light blue one- Bruce

White one- Bakura

Stitched one- Stitches

Blonde one- Strike

I looked down at the one in my lap who I was holding previously but I got tired of doing so. "I shall name you Zero, after the nice and happy ghost dog from Nightmare Before Christmas and after one of my favorite anti-heroes." He seemed to purr in agreement with his name. I yawned and noticed some of the cats did too, I looked at the clock and my eyes widened. It was almost 11! I knew I left the house late but not THAT late!

I grabbed a spare blanket from the other couch and set my head down on a pillow that was already there from before. "You're welcome to join me where it is nice and warm, but try anything funny or stupid and you'll regret it." I said before closing my eyes and cuddling up under the blanket. Zero didn't hesitate to cuddle as close to me as he could the others hesitated but then gave in. By the time I was sleep all ten were cuddled up on the coach with me in various spots, asleep.

Usagi-chan: Yep, I know I haven't updated my YGO story and have been idle for a while but I'm back. School is out and I did well on my finals and I have a bit more inspiration now that my writer's block is gone. I don't own Naruto (if I did well, it'd be amusing to say the least), but I own Nuru and possible future OCs. Don't complain about the kitty thing cuz honestly I don't care and I have a better idea than water for changing them back. R&R if you like, it won't make a difference since I'll still update anyways. Cya later! ~
