Hmm, hello. Welcome to my third fan fic. This is a new year for me, even though I already have two fics of my own back in 2009. I have made this idea after enjoying those fics when the Akatsuki turn into cats. But I would rather have Sakura turn into one instead. Wouldn't you?
Oh yeah, if there is anybody new reading this fic, I changed the title. It will no longer be "Destructive Pink Fur Ball" and will now claim the title, "Never Pick Up A stray." I changed it because it didn't fit the story. For Sakura would leave the village and critically be "adopted" by the Akatsuki.
Plus she will also cause havoc and never ending problems for all the members she interacts with. In a way, I wanted Sakura to behave like a cat and also keep the thoughts like when she was still a human. Could this be realistic enough for you? Some stuff will be random out of the fragments of my mind for I am quite crazy with the ideas.
Never Pick Up A Stray
Chapter One: Stupid pride..
Sakura was busy.
Not in her house working on the tax forms before April comes. Or digging into a nice bowl of hot ramen while staring at the TV set. Instead this little kunoichi with petal hair was working deep in the lair of her lab on a very complicated serum. Sakura wasn't doing too well because of the timer ticking by her desk. It was in the shape of a frog with a smile on it's face bought as a gift for her from Naruto himself. She pitied it's fat belly but found it's constructive design pretty cute.
The kunoichi's eyes escaped from the clock and were dropping in exhaustion. She looked away from her work staring at the sky's endless luster through the window pane. Her time in the lab has expanded heading straight into night time. Supposedly, her friends up above on the higher floor who also working in the same department must have already left hours ago.
Sakura despised them, their ability to leave early with a smile on their faces while she is stuck down below in the dark. All Sakura had for a simple light source was a candle settled on the counter. The girl moaned in boredom and resumed working hoping to get off work before day break. What kept her busy day in and day out was a particular jar of chemicals filled to the top enabling the user to become any animal they chose. It's purpose was to keep watch of nuke nins and warn the hokage of suspicious activity.
She wished that someone else took the job. If only it worked except the workers of this firm were so friendly to give her more hours then she could take. While her mind was focused on the potion, her thoughts were else where on Tsunade. Why would only she allow the pinkette to work on this while the others only get a light slap on the wrist?
Her fists collided with the counter, this was all too much for her. She would rather be out on missions with her friends then locked up in here. But then again, what's the point of working under the art you enjoy? Hateful moments simmered down and the girl struggled with continuing her project.
Her green eyes adverted to the clock; it read 12:00 a.m. Maybe just one simple nap wouldn't hurt. Sakura collapsed on the counter with her arms acting as a soft pillow. A yawn escaped from her lips as her irises closed slowly. Clouds drifted and floated away revealing a white house cat in it's wake. This appeared to be her dream, allowing her to cat nap any time she wished. A green field filled with numerous flowers circled around her. Sakura wandered past them sniffing each flower with her nose.
She trotted over a bridge and came across a cherry tree. Sakura always wanted to see one up close. Each time she did, the petals will wilt from the snow frost a few feet away. The forest blew up around her and canceled it's self taking the form of a house with a fire place. Sakura was seen curled up in a tight ball and slept on the rug while the heat was giving her warmth.
Like the eagerness of seeing a cherry blossom tree from her past, the winter's climate brewed. Snow fell out of the sky in the background giving her a pleasant epilogue to her cat nap. While her dreams were about to end, something terrible was going on around her which she had no idea about.
Only a pool of mysterious goo let it's self be known underneath her body mass. It took over her body rendered it useless. The concoctions silent killing decreased her chakra reserves as the girl slept the night away. Moments later she awoke finding the room where she worked way bigger then before.
Sakura took notice to her surroundings and shrunk in fear when the frog timer let out a mighty croak. Was she asleep for this long without knowing? Sakura attempted to swat at the clock so it would shut up only to find.. a paw? She didn't not knowing what was going on while the other side an object that can only manipulate time was making noise.
Her eyes grew red in rage and she launched her self onto the clock slashing at it. The timer lost its balance tumbling to its death, it exploded on the floor catapulting it's clock face plate onto the counter. It landed near the girl's body and she crept closer calculation the hands coordinates.
'Eight a.m.. I should have left the hospital ages ago..' She thought mindlessly and inched near the sink to clean out the sand bags in her eyes. When she reached the water her appearance was messed with. Instead of a human girl there was a milky white kitten with a pink tint and the greenest eyes you have ever seen.
Sakura moved back in surprise falling off the ledge onto the floor. She landed on her paws picking them up in pain noticing a few lose sprockets from the frog. The feline waved it's arms around shaking the machinery out and watched it land on the floor. Her eyes narrowed as the sprockets had traces of her blood on it. Her tail flickered back and fourth in anger.
What the hell type of potion was Tsunade thinking when she gave it to her? Now by accident her body shrunk taking the form of a small house cat. She didn't like this form at all, her mind will rather take refuge in a puma or wolf. Not some puny domesticated feline. The kitten's mind was distracted by heavy foot steps traveling across the hall way heading straight for her. She struggled trying to keep her presence away from the anbu or even Naruto.
Even though inner was telling her other wise to confront them but her pride was getting in the way. Without thinking, the cat climbed up the chair and ran down the counter jumping up the pipes connected to the sink leaving out the window. After she left, two ninjas were looking around the room. Their heads were being scratched in confusion after they figured that the pink haired female has vanished.
There was plenty of evidence to go around. Said calm ninja shook his head at the stains of freshly made blood splattered on the floor and the other cried over a broken frog timer. At once, both shinobi disappeared in green leaves near the hokage tower telling the godaime of Sakura Haruno's fate.
~Outside..~
'This is suicide! How can a cat live like this?' Thought a human turned feline.
Once Sakura left the hospital, she was having a hard time venturing around Konoha as a cat. There wasn't much to do or act on. First, her voice was watered down as only kawaii mews and soft meows. Second, walking around on all fours was difficult then she thought. Thirdly, how the hell can she survive out in the outside world? If any of her friends found her, they would probably put her in the pet shop. Last but not least, her whole body was naked! So what if cats are covered by fur, the term naked is still new for her.
Even if she could get away with it, moving around on the floor naked didn't float her boat. But soon or later, she would get used to this. Starting now. As she wandered down the streets of Konoha, many people took notice of her color pattern. Whispers like that 'shit ain't normal,' or 'we need that cat' floated into her kitty ears. If she had the ability to function with her human hands she will give them a middle finger. She wasn't this rare breed for sale!
Sakura couldn't get any further when her body got cornered by two evil mutts. She couldn't duck under any and run under their stomach because they could just lift her up into the air. The feline arched it's back snarling evilly as the dogs moved towards her foaming in the mouth.
'Well, well, well. Looks like we got us here a cat.'
Yeah! Yeah!' Agreed it's goofy partner. he cocked his head to the side. 'Um.. what do we got again?'
'Ugh, I said that we got us a CAT!'
Sakura arched a kitty eye brow. 'You guys are fools.' and turned her cat body around leaving them in the opposite direction. 'I'm gone, see you fools later..'
The Akita didn't pay her any mind as she left to the side of him. 'What did she call me?'
'Ahem, she called us fools!'
'Your the fool!' The smarter one growled bonking it's friend on the head. 'Who the fuck called ourselves fools?'
'Do I count?'
Everyone turned their furry heads and grew fearful when a giant dog the size of a mountain was three feet away from them. Sakura recognized the dog immediately by it's familar scent and attempted to run over near him but got bit by the tail. She let out a long howl of pain and spun around drawing dust around them slashing at the non smarter dog's face.
'Ow, ow! My face!' It whined. 'The mean cat slashed at my face!'
'Your no help.' The Akita growled and launched at her.
Sakura kicked up more dust blinding the dog's vision and stepped back when the larger inu took charge. It appeared from behind tugging on the akita's tail launching him up in the air and spun the dog around like a lasso. He released the robust male's tail bone and watched it fly across the sky heading to heaven.
The white dog turned staring at the dumber dog. 'Do you want the seismic toss too?'
'No sir, I gots to go!' it barked with a hint of goofiness and ran away with it's tail between it's legs.
Said feline ran after them hissing like a snake. 'Take that you dumb butt sniffing dogs!'
'Hmm, do you really think that way about us?'
Sakura turned around cocking her head to the side. 'What do you mean?'
'I don't know. Even though you despise us, including cats. Why would you be in this form?'
Her vision grew soft. 'No, I don't think that way for all animals. Just some.'
'Good! Let's take you back to the hokage! She including Kiba are worried about you!'
The feline was about to protest when Akamaru dragged her towards the tower. Sakura unleashed her claws on the ground drawing dirt clouds everywhere they went. Her mind went dim as a light bulb formed across her furry head.
A smirk crept on her face. There was a fire hydrant three blocks away from them and then soon this humongous dog would like to mark it's scent on it. It was a perfect opportunity to escape and do what ever she wants. When the two animals reached the curb, Akamaru released his grip off her tail and wandered over the red hydrant to do his business.
While the dog found it's happy place, there was a horrible hunch that Sakura has left her spot and vanished. Which she did. He finished urinating on the hydrant and ran over near where he last left the feline. His nose drooped to the ground and he sniffed it numerous times picking up a scent.
Akamaru's head reared up and he felt a collar latch onto him. 'Hey! What gives?'
"I'm sorry buddy. This is the only way I can keep you from running all over the place while were still searching for Sakura." Apologized his partner.
The dog started moving towards the scent. 'What are you talking about? She went that way!'
Kiba quit moving and raised an eye brow. "Are you talking about Sakura or a cat? Cause all I smell is a fur ball.."
Akamaru's tail lowered as his master lead his body down the streets. He did not understand why the female won't go and turn her self in. This seemed like the only way she could reverse back into a human. She would rather suffer with the inconvenience of turning into a cat.
If he was turned into a human he would tell them to turn him back immediately. This relation process wouldn't work because she used to be a human, not the other way around. Hopefully the girl will realize that she was making a huge mistake and try to fix it.
Speaking of girls, more like human turned feline, Sakura has finally escaped out the village. Blending in with the cattle drive of a farmer made it easier for the cat to leave unnoticed. Her body stuck low to the ground like the fallen twigs and logs then got stuck behind the trees.
She heard voices echoing out from the clearing. Simple words like find the 'Kyuubi' and 'I need to take a piss' entered her ears. Sakura wished that she never heard the words and made a quick dash for the clearing until being caught by black gloves.
"Ahaha, Deidara sama! Look!"
Sakura took notice of her captor. His height was about five feet two and had a childish attitude for a man. What made him stand out from the so called murderous organization was a orange swirled mask on his face. While she stayed in the childish mans grasp, another man came into view.
"What did you find Tobi-brat, hmm?"
"Tobi find kitty!"
"A neko?"
"Yeah! Can we keep it?"
"Sure. When it comes back with us to the base I can blow it up with my clay birds, un."
"Yay! Dedidara-sama allow Tobi to keep kitty!"
"My names not sama, un!" Barked the blond in rage.
"M-my bad Deidara-sama." Tobi apologized and grew shocked at what he has previously said. "Oops, Tobi did it again."
"Ugh, just shut up. Were going home."
Said boy flipped out in glee when his partner spoke of going home. Tobi moved forward almost tripping on a fallen root and speed off trailing after his friend. Both members kept going and Deidara wasn't doing to well from all the noise coming from his partner. All the brat talked about was candy and ear wax.
Deidara covered his ears not caring if the mouths on his paws bit out his insides. This was the only way he could disable all the noise coming from Tobi. While they walked, Sakura didn't appreciate getting picked up by some gang member. Two stupid gang members.
'Oh no you don't. I'll make caring for me disastrous.' Thought the pink cat.
Yes it will be.
They're in for one hell of a ride..
...
I finally came around to updating this chapter. Was it a little more informative than last time?
When I reread it, I didn't exactly give away the purpose of the potion and you must be thinking of it too. Well, soon I will redo the other chapter and the newer one is coming.
New readers can still review. I'm not joking. Review.. Good day. ^^
