IMPORTANT!!!! A/N: Welcome, welcome! Before we start this story o' mine, I should explain some things otherwise people will have this expression on their face, 0.O
Kakashi and Sasuke are humanoid cats, they have a body of a human but with cat ears and a tail.
These cats can change from tiny little kitten sized humans (so chibi in other words) to fully grown.
The Humanoid Cats are pets but you can educate them if you want.
They can talk with regular humans but have their own little cat talk.
It's not odd for a pet to fall in love with their master and vice versa.
They live as long as people.
I have a link to the picture that inspired me in my profile… it's so cute!
ON WITH THE STORY!!
Kakashi wasn't expecting much from this bunch of people peering into his and other cages. He wasn't expecting much from anybody at all. It was unlikely that anybody would pick him. Who wants a scarred cat? Especially when it is as visible as his eye and when said eye had a freaky red colour to it because of a birth defect.
The cage was small even in his tiny form: there was space enough to walk around though… like two steps.
Kakashi sighed two more years, just two more years before he was released. He didn't know whether this was a good thing or not, you see the wild was a lot tougher than it seemed, you think you can live off scraps in the trash but the competition was fierce, besides he didn't like the idea of living off trash and it would be to presumptuous to think that humans to give him food for free.
If he had the choice he would work but the animal rescue didn't include education in their programme. All they did was feed him, groom him and gave him medication when he was sick He was grateful for that but it still didn't help the fact that he wasn't going to get adopted and when they released him he would probably turn feral.
He closed his eyes, it was time for a nap.

"Hey little guy." A warm voice floated through his ears and up to his brain. The voice was followed by a finger stoking him on the head.
He moved his head towards the bars of his cage. He loved being petted. Damn the cage and it's bars.
"So your name is Kakashi, huh? That's adorable." At that he opened his eyes, nobody has ever called him adorable.
Apparently opening his eyes was a mistake, the man gasped.
Kakashi's head bowed and moved as far to the back of his cage as possible.
"Hey, don't go. Come here. Talk to me." Kakashi didn't comply, he was too busy sulking.
"Fine, well I will introduce myself. I am Umino Iruka, I am twenty four and I am a teacher. I have an adopted son named Naruto, roaming around somewhere here trying to find a cat."
Ah so this man was just looking, great the one person that has ever talked to him other than the keepers was only window shopping. He felt his ears droop.
"Hey, hey what's wrong, come on talk to me." The man with the warm voice asked.
Kakashi decided that he might as well, it could be a long time before he would talk to someone again. Kakashi faced the man now known as Iruka and walked up to his cage. "What is there to talk about?"
The man was smiling and Kakashi blushed, this guy was really cute.
"Well tell me about yourself, what you like, what you don't like, how long you have been staying here for, how old are you, you know, those types of things."
Kakashi felt something he hadn't felt in a long time, he felt loved. However he wasn't going to let it show, as to why he didn't even know but something in his pride told him, no.
"Okay, well I like fish to eat, I don't like rabbits, they are annoying, I am twenty six and I have been here for twenty out of those twenty six years." Kakashi replied.
The man frowned and didn't say anything at first, he looked to be contemplating, then he finally spoke. "Well that's an awfully long time, what happened for the six years you weren't here?"
Kakashi shrugged. "You know people like kittens and so they adopt one, but as soon as it isn't cute anymore they dump it here."
The man frowned again but this time he extended his finger into Kakashi's cage and started to stroke him again.
The man was about to speak but was interrupted. A flash of orange and yellow was suddenly at Iruka's side.
"Dad, dad! I found the perfect cat, come on! Come on! Before anyone else takes him!" The boy Kakashi assumed was Naruto, yelled, excitement filled his voice.
Suddenly the man was dragged away and Kakashi was alone again.
Kakashi sighed. What did he expect? That the man would change his mind about another cat and adopt him? Kakashi thought, he knew better than that.
He retreated back into the far side of his cage, precisely two steps back and he slept. He didn't want to dwell on Iruka too much, it hurts too much.

Kakashi was awoken by someone lifting him. He looked up, it was one of the keepers. Mizuki the name was, well that's what everybody else called him, he couldn't exactly read the name tag.
"Hey Kakashi! Guess what?" The white haired keeper asked him.
He didn't reply, he could guess what it was, probably time for grooming otherwise why would he be pulled out of his cage?
Mizuki brought his out to the reception area where he saw Iruka, Naruto and a dark haired cat in the boys' arms.
"Kakashi you are getting adopted."

A/N: Three guesses who the other cat is, aye. I hoped you like the story so far, it's going to be romance and fluff, nothing too deep, just a light hearted fic. I know Kakashi is a bit OOC but I promise that will change later on. Reviews are always good, so if you have the urge to do so, please review!
