prologue
Sasukes POV
it all started a couple of days ago when that black cat started to follow me around. It was there outside my house when i went to school and waited for me outside the school when it was over. As usual i would walk a little around town before heading home. All day the cat followed me around and when i walked into my house the cat sat outside and waited only to still sit there the next day. At first I tried to get rid of it, i mean isn't black cats suppose to be very bad luck? But after a while i grew used to it and even petted it a couple of times.
But now it's raining, like a lot, and i kinda feel bad just leaving it out there. So I decide to let it inside. As i open the door the cat looks up at me with its green eyes, at first its pupils are narrowed like slits, and its teeth are showing, but then it seems to realise it's me and the pupils grow large as it looks at me, head tilted in a confused expression.
"It's cold out here so… i guess you can come inside"
'pff year nice going Sasuke like it knows what you're saying'
But my thoughts stops when the cat walks right by me and into my house leaving dirty pawprints on the floor
"Hey wait up! stand still for a moment"
again the cat does exactly what i tell it to while i go to get a towel. When i get back there's a little puddle where it's standing. I carefully pick it up with a towel and begins to rub it to get it dry. It particularly seems to like when i stoke its head since it begins to purr and leans into the touch, I chuckle a bit and complies to its unspoken wishes and scratches its head, behind the ears and under its chin. The purring grow louder and the cat close its eyes and is seemingly in pure bliss. I throw another towel on the puddle and walks over to my couch, the cat still in my arms, pawprints forgotten.
The next hour i sit there completely consumed by the soft fur and cute purrs of the cat. I only snap back to reality when my stomach growls.
"want some food?"
i ask the cat, against all my common sense I'm again speaking to it.
its head perks up and looks at me with big green eyes. then it struggles out of the towel, jumps to the floor and looks back at me. I chuckle at its eagerness and walks into the kitchen, the cat hot on my trail. I look inside the fridge but it seems i forgot to go grocery-shopping because of the awful weather. Well whatever i'll just go to Ichiraku ramen and eat.I go to get my coat and umbrella since it's still raining. When I come back the cat is sitting in front of the door, waiting. We walk to Ichiraku without encountering any of my fangirls to my relief, that's one reason to like the rain. when we arrive i order a bowl of ramen but the cat begins to meow and if a cat can make a pouty face then that is it.
"You want ramen?"
i ask a little surprised i mean i didn't think cats ate ramen
even so it looks at me with big eyes and i take that as a 'yes please' so i order another ramen. The cat jumps on the counter and seems to be satisfied… for now. Just then a certain blonde idiot and iruka-sensei sits next to me
"so i see you got all that paint of"
i say without glancing their direction
"yeah and Iruka-sensei's treating me to ramen!"
naruto replies with a big grin. He then notices the little animal I would assume is occupied with eating on my other side.
"is that a cat? it's all black isn't that supposed to be super bad luck?!"
he immediately starts to freak out
"Oi don't judge it because of some stupid saying you idiot"
i tell him. For some strange reason i feel like i need to stand up for the cat and i find myself worried that what he said somehow hurt the little creature. I look at it to find it looking at me with its head tilted like it can't really figure me out. my eyes drop to the now empty bowl at its feet and for a moment i'm shocked at how fast it ate the ramen, I mean come on its mouth is like tiny!
Naruto removes his goggles, which is weird since he seems to always wear those, but i don't think about it further. I just finish my bowl start leaving the cat follows. When we get a little further away the cat suddenly runs a little ahead of me, turns around and looks back with a promise of returning shining from the green eyes. Then it run and soon it merge into the long evening shadows. After that it seems like the streets grows darker and a heavy feeling lays on my chest.
"Hn"
'not like i care if it returns or not it's just a cat'
even so my mood takes a turn and i drop my umbrella and sprint the rest of the way home where i take one look at the pawprints and decide that it can be removed tomorrow. Then i sit on my couch with that weird uneasiness still rummaging in my chest. Despite the fact that i'm going to school tomorrow i decide against going to bed early, after all the cat did promise to come back… i think… damnit of course it didn't, it can't because it's a freaking cat!
After calming down i settle for just reading until i'm tired enough to sleep.
