Chapter One: Your Name Shall Be...Fluffy
"Hn..." Hiei grunted as he finished slaugther the weak demons that dared to try and ambush him. "Pathetic."
"Meow..." Hiei's eyes narrow as he looked around for the source of the sound. "Meow..."
Hiei located the source with Jagon eye to be behind a bush and cautiously walked to it. He peered behind the bush and frowned at what he saw. Dead kittens and a cat...
"Meow..." He heard the weak voice again. He moved the dead cat over with his sword and saw a small, black kitten. The kitten looked up with red eyes and weakly meowed again.
KITTEN'S POV (The kitten has no name yet)
"Help me..." I cried weakly to the tall cat with the stick. He tilted his head, which I did too. He poked me with his stick, which turned out to be sharp. I hissed at the stick, then turned back to the cat. "Help me..."
"Hn..." The cat frowned at me and turned to leave.
I started to panic...I didn't want to be alone again... With all of my strength, I yelled. "Help me!"
The cat raised an eyebrow and looked like it was thinking. It then sighed and picked me up. His nose wrinkled.
"You're covered in blood..." He stated. I tilted my head as I register the disgust in his voice. I started to lick myself while watching him. "Hn..."
"Hey, shorty what do you have there?" A HUGE cat asked the cat carrying me. The HUGE cat squealed when it saw me. "Aw...A CUTE KITTY! LET ME HOLD IT!"
The HUGE cat tried to grab my but I hissed and scratched him.
"Ow! You made the cute kitten mean Hiei!" The huge cat accused and pointed at the cat holding me, now known as Hiei.
"Why do you have a kitten anyway Hiei?" A cat said while rubbing his nose in a snobby manner. "Getting soft on us?"
"You wish Urmashi." Hiei told him. "I found the thing while killing demons. The whole litter and mother was killed."
"That was awfully nice of you." Said a pretty cat. He reached out and scratched me behind my ear. I closed my eyes and purred at nice feel of it. "She's sticky."
"She's covered in blood and dirt." Hiei told him.
"Well, let's take her to my house to get cleaned up. My family is not home at the moment." The pretty cat suggested.
"There I think that the temperature is just right." The pretty cat said, then turned to the huge cat. "Right Kuwabara."
"Yeah, this is what I wash mine in." Kuwabara said as he nodded his head.
"Hn..." Hiei held me out to the pretty cat, who took me. I struggled in his arms. I wanted to be back with Hiei.
"It's alright little one...My name's Kurama...I won't hurt you..." He told me. That didn't stop me from struggling.
"Give me back!" I yelled.
"Quiet down cat..." Hiei command peering in my face. I paused, stared for a while, then licked his nose. He pulled back quickly and started wiping off his face. Kuwabara and the snobby cat fell down laughing. Kurama chuckled and lowered me into a white round thing with water in it.
"No water!" I cried as I started struggling again with more motivation to get back to Hiei. Kurama hissed when I dug my claws into his skin. He gently placed me in it and held me down while Kuwabara took something and started wiping me. I hissed and slashed at him.
"Damn it!" Kuwabara shouted and pulled back after the fifth time I scratched him.
"I think that is enough..." Kurama said as he lifted me up. Kuwabara left the room crying. "Now, let's get you dry..."
The snobby cat came from behind me and covered me with a clothe. I hissed at him as he rubbed me vigorously with the clothe.
"Calm down kitty." The snobby told me. "You don't want to catch a cold and die do ya'?"
I stopped hissing and tilted my head at him. He smiled as he pulled the clothe away and scratched behind my ears. I purred. Maybe this cat isn't so bad... I wiggled in Kurama's paws.
"I see where I'm not wanted. You rather have Yusuke." He said, chuckling and handing me over to Yusuke. I purred and snuggled into his arms.
"Hn..." Hiei said. I looked over at him as he crossed his arms. I forgot about Hiei.
"Hiei!" I called to him.
"Now you want Hiei, you're a regular player...just leaping from one person to another and skipping over Kuwabara." Yusuke said and laughed slightly as he held me out for Hiei. Hiei just looked at me. "You're suppose to get her."
"Hn..." He said and took me. He put me face to face with him. "Let's get one thing straight, don't ever lick me...especially in the face."
I smiled and licked him on the nose again. He frowned and dropped me to the ground. I landed on my feet.
"Hiei!" Kurama shouted and then scolded. "Don't do that!"
"Hn..." Hiei said as he wiped his face. I yawned and rubbed against Hiei. I looked up at him.
"I'm hungry and sleepy." I told him. My stomach growled.
"Looks like she's hungry and tired." Kurama pointed out. "Let's get her some milk."
He walked over and picked me up from Hiei's feet.
"There you go little kitty..." Kurama said as he pushed a round thing filled with something in front of me. I cautiously leaned over and sniffed it. It smelt delicious, so I cautiously stuck my lounge in it.
"Yum!" I said and started eating at it quickly.
"She must not have eaten in days..." Kuwabara said as he leaned on some tall thing to watch me eat. "She's so small."
"I know." Yusuke agreed. "She's not even bigger than my fist..."
"Hn..." Hiei grunted from his corner with closed eyes.
"You know..." Kurama started. "She looks like Hiei would if he was a female cat."
"She does, doesn't she!" Kuwabara said and laughed. I hissed at him, which made him quiet down. I hated loud noises. Yusuke chuckled. Kuwabara muttered. "She WOULD be Hiei if he was a female cat."
"Shut up if you want to keep your tongue in your mouth..." Hiei warned him. I was so into eating that I didn't notice when I had put my front left paw on the thing filled with milk. I ended up going into it. I slouched around and closed my eyes.
"Help me!" I cried. I felt a gust of wind and someone pick me up. I coughed and opened my eyes to see Hiei holding me.
"Clumsy cat." Hiei told me. I sniffed and shook myself dry. He growled slightly. "Watch were you're drying yourself off."
"Sorry." I told him and licked him on the nose. He growled.
"Aw, look at Hiei being the hero again." Yusuke teased. Hiei glared at him. Kurama came over and dried me off with a clothe. I yawned and wiggled in Hiei's grasp.
"Looks like she's sleepy." Kuwabara pointed out.
"She can sleep in the middle of my bed. I'll take her..." Kurama suggested and tried to take me from Hiei. I hissed at him. "Well, you know where my bed is..."
I yawned as Hiei tried to sit me down on the bed. I dug my claws into him.
"Let go cat!" He said and tried to shake me off. My claws only dug deeper into him. He hissed and gave a hard shake that sent me flying across the place and out of a whole.
"Help me!" I cried and closed my eyes ready to feel pain. Instead, all I felt was arms around me. I felt warm...like when mommy use to hold me...I opened my eyes and saw Hiei.
"Hn...next time don't dig your claws in me." He warned. Suddenly, we were in the room again. I snuggled to Hiei's chest and dug my claws in his shirt.
REGULAR POV
Hiei tried to pull the sleeping kitten from his shirt without trying to wake it up, but its claws were attached to his shirt. Hiei growled lightly and sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for the chance to pull the kitten from him. However, it never came because Hiei was soon asleep too. Something about someone needing, depending, and wanting him made him feel at peace...
"Aw...look at how cute that is..." Yusuke joked. They had just walked in to see what was taking Hiei so long and found Hiei laying down asleep with the kitten curled up on his chest. The kitten's nose twitched in its sleep and snuggled closer to Hiei for more warmth. "Kurama?"
"Yes, Yusuke?"
"Do you have a camera?" Yusuke asked evilly.
"Uh...yes, I do why?" Kurama asked curiously at Yusuke's sudden evil mood.
"Where is it?" He asked. Kurama raised an eyebrow, but went to his desk and got it. He then handed the camera to Yusuke who aimed it at Hiei and the kitten. He snapped a picture. "Ah, perfect black mail..."
"Hey, get me one too!" Kuwabara shouted, which woke the kitten up. Yusuke took another picture, which cause another flash. The kitten was startled so she hissed. Her ears, tail, hair, and body stood straight up. She then pounced on Yusuke's face and started clawing him.
"Ah!" Yusuke ran around the room with his arms fraying in the air and the kitten on his face. Kuwabara picked up the camera and took a picture of it while laughing. The kitten hissed again and jumped on Kuwabara's face. Kuwabara was in the same state as Yusuke was while she was clawing him.
"Get it off! Get if off!" Kuwabara screamed. Of course, Hiei, already being awake when they entered the room and was plotting to stop Yusuke's chance of 'black mail', sat there in amusement. Kurama told Kuwabara to be still, and he would pull the kitten off.
Kuwabara stopped running around. Kurama walked over to Kuwabara and tried to pull the kitten off of him. The kitten hissed and scratched Kurama several times, which Kurama soon had stopped trying to pull the kitten off Kuwabara's face.
"Hiei, please get her off." Kurama told Hiei, who smirked.
"And WHY would I do such a thing?" Hiei asked amused at it all. "And why would the cat listen to me?"
"Because she trusts you best." Kurama told Hiei, who snorted.
"Hn...come cat!" Hiei called. The kitten stopped holding on to Kuwabara and pounced on Hiei's chest, which she nuzzled. Hiei rolled his eyes.
"She's evil!" Kuwabara shouted. The kitten looked at him innocently and tilted it's head.
"Meow..."
"She's so cute!" Kuwabara shouted, which made everyone else sweat-drop. She yawned as she lied down and closed her eyes.
"Thank goodness, she's going back to sleep..." Yusuke said from his corner on the floor. "She's going to fit right in...she's a fighter."
"I'll say..." Kuwabara said as he looked in Kurama's mirror.
"She needs a name...she can't be called kitten, cat, or she forever..." Kurama stated.
"How about...Salem?" Kuwabara suggested.
"How about no?" Yusuke said.
"hm...Dirtball?" Kurama suggested.
"Fluffy." Hiei said suddenly, which made everyone look at him.
"What?" Yusuke asked.
"The cat will be called Fluffy..." Hiei said in a voice that left no room for auguring. "Or else..."
"It suits her..." Kurama agreed.
"Whatever works for you." Yusuke said.
"It's perfect." Kuwabara said.
"Hn..."
"Wake up, Fluffy...It's time to for a snack. We need you to get bigger, you're too small..." A voice cooed. I cracked my eyes, to see who would dare disturbed my sleep, and saw Kurama in my face. I looked at him, yawned, looked at him some more, then closed my eyes again.
"Go away..." I muttered. I felt something poke me. I hissed and slowly opened one eye to intestate. I again saw Kurama smiling.
"Wakey, wakey..." He said. I turned my head the other way and closed my eyes again. I heard Kurama chuckle and poke me again. I hissed and raised my paw to stretch him with out getting up or turning around. "Ow...grumpy..."
"Hn..." I said and turned to glare at him. Kurama looked at me with a sweat-drop.
"Did...you just say...'hn'?" He asked. I yawned and looked around the room for Hiei, who I didn't see. I turned about to Kurama.
"Where's Hiei?" I asked. Kurama tilted his head.
"Are you looking for Hiei?" He asked.
"Yes." I said and nodded my head.
"He's went out for a while." Kurama informed me as he picked me up. "Now to feed you."
"Hn." I said, which made Kurama sweat-drop.
"Right..."
"Here's some milk for you..." Kurama said as he put a bowl in front of me. I sniffed it, but didn't eat. I looked around the room for Hiei.
"Hiei..." I called. Kuwabara scratched his head.
"Why want she eat?" He asked Kurama, who shrugged.
"Hiei..." I answered, then asked. "Where's Hiei...?"
"You're the cat expert Kuwabara." Yusuke stated and gestured with his right hand.
"I want Hiei..." I whined and sniffed, causing everyone to look at me.
"What's wrong with Fluffy?" Yusuke asked. Kurama picked me up. I started crying and squirming.
"Is...is she...crying?" Kuwabara asked, sounding like he didn't believe it, and looked into my face. I hissed and scratched him across his face. He pulled back quickly and covered his face up with tears running down his face. "Ow...why are you so mean...?"
I went back to crying. Kurama and Yusuke sweat-dropped.
"What a moody kitty..." Yusuke stated as he shook his head and crossed his arms over his chest. "What the hell is wrong with it?"
"I don't know Yusuke..." Kurama answered and sighed. He started rubbing my back up and down. "It's alright Fluffy..."
"I want Hiei!" I wailed.
"Oh, boy..." Yusuke sighed. "Where's Hiei when you need him...?"
"He went out to get some more milk since I just opened up the last one for her." Kurama answered.
"Hey...stop crying, or whatever." Yusuke stated while scratching his head.
"I wonder why-" Kurama started, but was interrupted when he felt a slight breeze and saw Hiei standing besides him. Hiei placed a bag on the table and looked at me. I stopped crying and sniffed.
"What's wrong with Fluffy?" Hiei asked.
"She scratched me!" Kuwabara whined as he appeared out of no where with a bandage across his nose.
"Hn." Hiei said. I smiled and jumped from Kurama's arms. I landed on his shirt and purred and cuddled him.
"Looks like she just missed Hiei..." Yusuke said to no one really, then looked at Hiei. "Your cat is weird." I looked at Yusuke.
"..." Hiei just raised an eyebrow as if asking 'how?".
"I mean what kitty cries like a human? There are suppose to be no tears coming from its eyes, right Kuwabara?" Yusuke asked.
"True." Kuwabara said and nodded his head. "And she doesn't like me that much, what kitty doesn't like ME?"
"Hn." I snorted and went back to cuddling Hiei, who tilted his head at me.
"You see that!" Yusuke shouted and pointed at me. "She just 'Hn'! What kind of kitty goes 'Hn'!?! Huh?"
"Hn." Hiei said and patted me slightly on the head. "Not a regular cat."
Weeks Later
REGULAR POV
"Koema, sir, what brings you here?" Kurama asked as he opened the door to his house. He stood a side and let him and Botan walk in.
"A simple mission." Koema answered as he walked back Kurama into the house and into the living room. He went to sit down, but a hiss stopped him. "Since when did you have a kitten?"
"That's not mine." Kurama said. "That's Hiei."
"Hiei's? HIEI HAS A KITTEN!" Botan exclaimed and pointed at Fluffy, who yawned and glared at her and Koema. "She's so cute..."
Botan started to stick her hand out to pet Fluffy, but stopped when Fluffy hissed again.
"Right..." Koema said and started to sit down, but Fluffy hissed again. "Eh...Kurama...?"
"Oh, she's been sick and sore for the past couple of days. All she does is lay on this couch. She won't let anyone sit down, except for Hiei." Kurama explained. "You can try to sit down, but...everyone has tried to...even me...and its VERY painful..." Kurama winced and subconsciously rubbed his bottom.
"She can't be that bad." Botan said and started to sit down, but stopped again when she heard a hiss. "Never mind then..."
"..." Koema cleared his throat. "Anyway, I want you to call Yusuke and Kuwabara on the phone and tell them to come over to your house. Do you know where Hiei is?"
"He went to get some cat food for Fluffy." Kurama explained as he picked up the phone to call Yusuke.
"Cat food...Fluffy..." Koema laughed, which earned a hiss from the couch. He stopped laughing and looked at Fluffy that was now standing up and hissing at him.
"She doesn't like for you to mess with Hiei." Kurama informed Koema, who edged away from the couch. "Hello, Yusuke? No, it's not about Fluffy. Yes, she's still sick. No, Hiei and I don't know what's wrong. Yes, she's still on the couch. No, she hasn't scratched anyone else as of late. Yes, I'm still a virgi- Yusuke! Stop laughing and come over to my house, Koema's here!"
With that said, Kurama slammed down the phone with a twitching eye. He took a deep breathe and dialed Kuwabara's number. Meanwhile, Fluffy went to laying back on the couch and started grooming herself. She stopped when she felt pain run though her a little.
"Are you alright, Fluffy?" Kurama asked.
"Hn." She answered and closed her eyes to take a nap.
"Did...she just...?" Botan started, but trailed off.
"Hn." Koema finished. Kurama sweat-dropped.
"She does that from time to time..." He said and shook his head. "Hello Kuwabara. No, she hasn't mauled me again...anyway...Koema is over here and needs us for a mission. Thank you. See you."
"Meow." Fluffy moaned in pain.
"Uh...Kurama...Hiei's kitten sounds like it's dying or something." Koema stated unintelligently. Kurama frowned as he went to the couch. Fluffy hissed only this time in pain and curled into a tight ball.
"This isn't good..." Kurama said as he picked her up and examined her. "She's shivering...it looks like she's gotten worse."
"Fox, what's wrong with Fluffy?" Hiei asked as he sat a bag down. Fluffy hissed loudly in pain and curled EVEN tighter. "Hand her to me."
Kurama gave Fluffy to Hiei, who rubbed her from her head to her back and stopped at the tip of her tail. He repeated the action over and over again. Soon, she gave a shudder and a light surrounded her.
"What the hell!?!" Kurama shouted. Everyone looked at him. "Uh...o...What the hello?!?"
Their attention was brought back to Fluffy when the light died down. She purred and snuggled into Hiei. Her tails, old and new, wagged in his face.
"Hn..." Hiei sat down and stared at Fluffy's two tails.
"Well...that was unexpected." Botan said and giggled. "She looks even cuter now."
"Where did you find this kitten?" Koema asked curiously.
"In Makia." Kurama answered for Hiei, who was engrossed in playing with Fluffy and her tails.
"Then that confirms my theory." Koema stated.
"What suspecims?" Kurama asked curiously.
"She's a demon cat. One of the two types of three-tailed cats." Koema answered. "There's a fire type and an ice type."
"I wonder what type she is?" Botan asked.
"Since she has two of her three tails, her powers should soon be shown." Koema informed them. "They are very powerful and almost extinct."
They watched Hiei and Fluffy play while waiting for Yusuke and Kuwabara. Fluffy nipped Hiei on the hand and reached her paw to grab the other hand. Hiei avoided her paw and knocked her lightly in the stomach, causing her to roll away a little. She bent down, readied her self, then pounced on Hiei's head. Everyone laughed as she walked around in a circle to get comfortable. She then laid down, yawned and closed her eyes.
"Sorry, we're late!" Yusuke shouted while coming into Kurama's house. "Keiko wanted to come along!"
"Sh..." Everyone said to Yusuke, who looked O...O. They pointed at Hiei's head. Yusuke laughed, but quietly. Keiko 'awed' and walked over to get a better look at Fluffy.
"Hey, I'm here." Kuwabara said as he walked into the living room where everyone else was. He laughed loudly at Hiei's situation, which earned him a knife (thrown by Hiei) slightly grazing his stomach (because he dodged.) "Sheesh...can't laugh anymore around here..."
"We'll watch Fluffy!" Botan and Keiko said at the same time. Hiei raised an eyebrow at them.
"No." He answered. Botan and Keiko pouted.
"Hiei, she has to stay somewhere." Kurama said. "She's just a kitten. She'll get hurt."
"Plus, it's a kind of long mission." Yusuke added. "A week at most."
"Hn." Fluffy and Hiei grunted at the same time. Hiei smirked, while everyone else sweat-dropped. "She's coming. The women could not handle her."
"But Hiei-"
"If you can get her from my person, then you can keep her." Hiei stated. "I will not interfere."
"This'll be easy!" Keiko said and walked up to Hiei. She held her hand out. "Here Fluffy..."
"..." Fluffy just stared at Keiko like she was stupid.
"Look, I have some food..." Botan said and waved a chocolate bar in front of Fluffy, who then looked at her like she was stupid.
"I'll just pick her up." Keiko said and reached her hands out.
"I wouldn't do that..." Yusuke warned, but Keiko ignored him. Fluffy growled at her in warning. Keiko ignored the warning and jumped back when a paw with sharp claws swiped at her. "Told you."
After ten minutes of them trying to get Fluffy from Hiei, they agreed with Hiei and were on their mission and so began the tale...
HOW WAS IT?!? WAIT, DON'T ANSWER THAT!...OR MAYBE YOU SHOULD...
I DON'T OWN YU YU HA.!
