"Nyan! Judge Judge!" I slowly turned around not afraid of what'd I'd see but what I would have to do to help the person whining at me. He always came whining to me. I didn't mind though. He was after all my best friend. I scratched my ear leisurely waiting for him to run up to me.

"Juuuuuuuuudge~ help me!" Sure enough there he was in all his glory. His fur almost a sheen golden with only the faintest of stripes, which contrasted by own black fur so well it was impossible to mistake. Sun-cat in all his entirety, was being chased by a large rat. Crouching I pounced with all my strength and took down the rat. It fell instantly to my claws. Sun-cat walked over to me and pressed his side against me.

"Thank you Judge-cat!" I could only bat the rat away. Spoiling my appetite now isn't such a good idea. I walked away from the scene and Sun-cat followed. We trotted through the sun-light garden rustling the red flowers of spring, and pressing down the dew dotted grass. Today couldn't be a better day if it tried. I was hard pressed to curl up on the stone walk way and sun bathe.

"I still don't understand how a cat like you can't even kill a simple rat." Sun-cat's tail puffed up a bit at the insult.

"It was really big okay! I was going to help you but you just stole the show!" I yawned and continued walking. Sun-cat changed the subject.

"Are you accompanying your human to the judges stand?"

"Yes. He's the most stressed there. I shall fulfill my duty as his pet and help relieve his stress." Sun-cat giggled.

"You're way too serious. My human is hardly ever around except for eating time and night time. My job is pretty much to just guard his room." Even though all you do in his room is sleep, and eat. Not to mention the one time he found you had gotten into his wine cellar and drunk a bit of his wine. That night you came yowling to me asking me to help you find some magical fairy that granted catnip powers to fly. That incident left you unwilling to drink anything from that cellar again and a splitting headache that was shared between the both of us.

"You're too lax." I smiled though. We each had our own way but we were inevitably friends. I twitched my tail.

"I'm leaving first." I bounded out of sight headed for the judges complex. My human would be there soon.

2)

"oh Earth-cat you're so adorable!" I sucked up the praise. Soon that's not the only thing you'll be saying. I smiled outwardly and shyly twitched my tail. Her mousy brown fur, her ears, and supple body everything was just to my taste. I just had to push a bit more. I bet my tortoiseshell coat that there would never be a better girl kitty than her.

"Th-thank you." Soon I would make my move. This would definitely be the day I-

"Earth-cat!" SUN-CAT! The girl cat was soon forgotten as my best friend trotted in. I walked in to greet him touching my nose to the ground in front of him. A respectful greeting.

"Sun-cat~ What a nice surprise!"

"Yea I wanted to see you before I went on my holiday." I flicked my ear in surprise.

"Oh how nice! I'm sure you and your human will have fun." Sun-cat dipped his head.

"Yea I wish I could invite you but your human doesn't seem to like me much." I meowed.

"He just doesn't like your human." Sun-cats twitching whiskers let off that he was laughing.

"I suppose not but oh well what can you do?"

"Oh no! I'm keeping you from your vacation time aren't I? Hurry hurry up and go okay? Have fun!"

"Thank you Earth-cat! Bye!" I politely let Sun-cat leave to enjoy his vacation. I'm sure he'd have fun. As I turned back I remembered the girl kitty. She was staring at me as if she was a detective trying to figure out a mystery killer.

"Is he your friend with benefits?"...

I sighed. I seemed to have so much work to do. I had to clear all the mice from the kitchen basement, then I had to make sure to I got the roaches as well. I would be lucky if I got any sleep. I was almost sure my blue-gray fur, more blue than gray, was soon to be bathed in dust. I would then have to subject myself to long hours of brushing by my humans clan. Not that I didn't like it, it just took time out of schedule. But of course my schedule was never free. I most likely always had to be there for my human who was always stressed with the light sheets that crinkle. I would purr and rub against the humans leg and encourage him to keep at it. I still don't understand what the crinkly sheets have to do with making him stress but the pile of sheets never shrunk. One day I fear he will collapse from those sheets. I had to stop that before it happened which was why I always hid a few crinkly sheets from him and delivered it to Judge-cat. Where he took them, I'll never know as long as my human doesn't collapse on me I'm fine with whatever he does to them.

"Storm-cat!" Of course. Just when I was worrying about how I would I help my human from overworking the one who hands me work has to come. It just has to be Sun-cat that comes and seemingly ruins everything. What did he even come find me for? He seemed to be everywhere at once. Oh well, my lucky day I guess.

"Yes Sun-cat?" Sun-cat stopped and curled his tail around him shyly.

"Storm-cat I wanted to ask you if there were any rumors about the king's dog." The king's dog? I ran all the rumors I knew about the king's dog. A lot of them were very gruesome and scary. I guess the only reason he was asking was because a death-cat was seen around the neighborhood.

"The king's dog is very lazy and fat and he prefers to lounge in his palace all day. He hates cats and is rumored that he kills them for pleasure after torturing them." Sun-cat seemed to take in all the information. He twitched his ear at me.

"Alright, thank you for the help." I swung my tail and he left. I licked my whiskers and continued on my way. Leave it to sun-cat to get into some kind of trouble. I had my own problems I was incased in at the point. At least the interval was short. I was soon finished with my chores and slipped into my humans room, and crawled onto the unused bed. I can finally sleep now.

4)

Hahahahahahaha! That stupid dog didn't even know what hit him! Now all I have to do is-

"Oh Hello Blaze-cat." Oh Sun-cat. Man how did such a sissy get in here? The sun also just had to hit his fur throwing facets of rainbow colors in my face. My fur never did that. At most my red-brown fur would shimmer. Stupid idiot. I hate him so much.

"…"

"Are you okay Blaze-cat?" See? Sissy. He couldn't last out there as a stray. Although I will say his ability to sniff out scams was unnatural. I had half a mind to scratch the guy right now under the pretense that I didn't recognize him. We were in a dark enough alley, it shouldn't be that bad. However due to the fact that if I clawed him here he would claw me back later when I least expect it. So I could only answer him.

"Yea I'm fine anyway I'm heading back." I ran ahead of him. The sooner I could get away from this sissy the better it was for my image.

5)

I heard someone slowly limp in my room. It wasn't uncommon to get patients that limped in my room seeking my help, so I wasn't fazed, as I turned around though I was shocked. Limping into my room through the cloth cat flap was Sun-cat. Covered in blood.

"SUN-CAT WHAT HAPPENED?!" He had scratches, and cuts all over and his paw was held at a really weird angle. His ear was a little torn too. What monster did this to Sun-cat?! I will kill him! Just wait till he feels my fangs slice his neck! He'll feel sorry then!

"Leaf-cat calm down it was just a little fight with a neighborhood dog." So you can take on a dog…But not mice? Sun-cat isn't there something wrong with this statement.

"Hurry! Hurry come here and let me see you!" I helped support him as he laid on my cushion. I immediately searched the room for the herbs and bandages I would need for him. I grabbed mugwart, peppermint, and I took a little leaf from my catnip stash….Don't look at me like that okay? Catnip can help numb the pain and make one feel better! I started chewing the mugwart and peppermint together to make a liquid pasty substance to help heal the injuries. Sun-cat...Was already munching on the catnip. By my cream fur I didn't even give it to him yet!

"Stupid dog, he sure hit hard. I scratched his eye for even daring to hit me." Oh Sun-cat if only you would be more careful about yourself! I took the mugwart and peppermint mixture and pressed them to his cuts and scrapes. When the bleeding stopped I bandaged them clumsily. I couldn't do anything for his ear but I bandaged it as well. His paw though…

"Sun-cat I'm so sorry but I don't think I can do anything for your paw. I think it's broken." Sun-cat didn't even seem to be listening. He was just lying there under the effects of catnip. Oh poor Sun-cat. I slowly groomed his fur clean of blood, trying to restore the glittering glory of his fur. I just had to wait for my precious human to come and maybe he could help. I groomed Sun-cat as he lay there purring under the effects of my precious catnip. I become more and more worried about his health by the second, as his paw started swelling, and ear getting covered in a yellow-clear liquid. Suddenly my human came in. He took one look at me and Sun-cat, and almost screamed.

"Hey You're Sun's cat aren't you?! What are you doing in my room?! What happened to you?!" My human quickly but carefully picked up Sun-cat and carried him away. He should be fine now. All I have to do is find the dog that dared harm Sun-cat. They shall feel the rath of my claws or my name isn't Leaf-cat!

6)

What a perfect day to be hidden in the cupboards with my human. I purred as he stroked my ear. It was always nice to be around my human but today was perfect. A saucer of milk just as white as my fur and a human scratching my ear was a great way to spend a day. This certainly is a really good-AH THE LIGHT! The cupboards opened to reveal Sun-cat, and his human. The open cupboards streamed in the horrible light that burned my eyes.

"Ah! Cloud-cat! I'm sorry!" Oh it was Sun-cat. If he was looking for me then it must be something important. I jumped out of my human's lap and trotted away with Sun-cat. I was careful to keep my head down. If I looked straight into light again I was sure my eyes would shrivel to nothing.

"What is it Sun-cat?"

"I want you to investigate some matters with me. A dog that has been terrorizing the cats in the area is killing more cats again. We have to find his lair and stop him." I nodded. I had heard of recent killings around here. One of which had started being pinned on Sun-cat. By my fur I pity the one who blames Sun-cat for that murder. Everyone knows that Sun-cat is as nice a cat as you can get, and will always help others in need and never hurt anycat.

"I'll help you Sun-cat. Lets go okay." Sun-cat smiled and twitched his tail. I followed behind him making sure to use him as a shield so I wouldn't be in direct sunlight.

I carefully tore the meat off of the rat Storm had caught for me earlier. They were fat and fresh and smelled absolutely amazing, but with a bit of this and that it would be so much better. In fact it would go well with some of Leaf-cats herbs. I slowly dragged the large leafs of Rosemary I had gotten from Leaf-cat. It was almost complete. It just needed a bit of honey. I heard the cat flap to my room shift but I knew who it was.

"Hello Ice-cat!" Sun-cat Shook himself out and trotted over to me. I already knew what he wanted but he was waiting patiently for me to finish. This is what I liked about Sun-cat he was patient and always kind. I bet my thick white pelt that if I was ever in need Sun-cat would be by my side in in instant, of course under the pretense that I owe him. Owing something didn't seem bad back then but know I know that if you owe Sun-cat something, you will ALWAYS be indebted to him. However owing Sun-cat to me always meant I would have to catch and spice rats for him, which I was always willing to do.

"What ingredients are you using today?"

"Leaf's special rosemary from his garden."

"How mouthwatering." I pushed the rat towards him as I finished glazing the rat with honey. He graciously took it and started to eat. Oh Sun-cat I hope to always be able to serve you the rats I cook.

8)

I trotted up to Sun-cat quietly. I had wanted to meet him but to have an opportunity to see him in the plaza was just dumb luck. I quietly sat on my hunches and waited for him to notice me. It took a while but he slowly opened his eyes and looked at me.

"You! Y-you're!...Alive?" I shook my head and leapt up on the fountain with him. How I missed him, and the simple days we would always be together. Now a-days I can't really do anything. I'm unfeeling to the sun, unfeeling to other bodies against me, even my fur reflects it now being dull gray and black stripes decorating my fur. I was in all honesty a being who shouldn't exist.

"Sun-cat…I wanted to say good-bye to you. I am going to kill the one who did this to me."

"Not if I kill them first."

"…" Sun-cat…you haven't changed a bit. I twitched my whiskers and ran away. I had my target. Your grace the king's dog you shall meet your end tonight, for the safety of others.

9)

"Nyan nyan Stone-cat! Stone-cat!" I turned around. Figures it would be someone like Sun-cat. Only he could run on these absurd tiles of the kitchen and meow in that ridiculous tone. I twitched my whiskers and turned around. There he was golden fur and all. If only my fur was as bright as his I wonder if the girl kitties would look at me. Curse this dull gray fur. I want to bleach it till you can't tell the difference between my socks and body fur color!

"Hey Stone-cat! I was wondering if you could help me in some stealth missions tonight." I didn't have choice did I? No matter if he was asking you to kill a rat for him or asking you to come on a mission you usually didn't have a way of saying no. I twitched my tail and continued on my way. I think I'll go sit with my human for a bit before I go with Sun-cat. At least with my human I knew he would always love me and always be patient and caring. Who cares if I can't get a girl kitty I have humans!

10)

I trotted next to Judge-cat down the halls of the temple. He promised we would battle today. I could finally perfect my moves, and get to spend time with him. Judge-cat was so great but there was only one person who was just a bit better.

"Hey Judge-cat, Hello Metal-cat." Sun-cat. Hey was so perfect. His fur was almost golden while mine own fur was a solid dull copper-orange. His ears were large and saucer, and he was slim and streamlined. He really was perfect in every aspect. It's a shame we don't see each other as much as I would like to see him.

"Well see you around then Judge-cat Metal-cat!" One day Sun-cat. One day I will be able to call myself worthy to be able to stand next to you.

11)

This was the life. Just simply relaxing in water. It was so strange but comforting at the same time. It was perfect. I was one of the rare few cats that actually like water. I don't understand the other cats sometimes. Water was so great and relaxing, especially after days like this where the missions were hard and taxing We had finally been able to get the kings dog to stop killing the cats, thank goodness, but at the expense that Cloud-cats fur will always be pink, Earth-cat will forever be terrified of the dark, Blaze-cat will always hate Stone-cat, Judge-cat will never let Sun-cat out of his sight again, Leaf-cat will always be known for the sharpest and quickest claws and worst temper, Storm-cat will never be messed with again for the fear of pissing him off, Metal-cat will always be left behind during battles, and Ice-cat will be unable to leave the temple for a long time to come. I figured everyone would be pleased about the thorough scrubbing our humans were giving us but no, much yowling and scratching and everybody still hates water. There was only one other cat that liked water like I did.

"Hey Moon-cat. That was crazy wasn't it?" Sun-cat walked over the bucket of water my human was using for me. I shook out the water dripping into my ears ,as my human carefully scrubbed the dried blood off of me.

"Yeah. At least now we don't have to worry about any undead-cat's for now." I had never, in all my life, had such a messed up battle in my life. In the end the death knight-cat turned into a death lord-cat, which was kind of cool to see but very unnerving. His fur like turned all black and gray stripes had become more noticeable. It was so creepy like even my fur, the odd tinge of purple when shined on by light but black as night, can be counted as normal, but that was just unatrual. At the end of the battle however the king's dog gave up his position and promised to never kill cats again. It was a good ending and the death lord-cat passed on...Or so I would like to say.

"Yeah. Suppose we won't." Ah Sun-cat. You have only strengthened my argument. You let the death knight-cat turn into a death lord-cat and even helped him escape. I am sure about it now. Sun-cat you and your schemes will eventually kill someone someday. Please don't let that someone be me. I have yet to find a suitable girl kitty.
