A/N: HI GUYS~! Oh mah goshness~! My first fanfiction I've posted! I'm excited! Well, this is one of my first Naruto fanfictions, so I hope you like it!
Chapter 1: Wait, kittens?
I woke up with a start as my two cats, Soul—the blind cat—and Fear jumped on my stomach. I sat up and pushed them off, yawning and stretching my arms out. I finished yawning and stretching and looked at the two felines.
Fear gave me a bored look, ears twitching, and tail flicking in impatience. Soul just stared ahead at nothing, his milky white eyes looking dead. Poor cat was born blind…
Let me say something about these two cats. They were weird. Very weird. Why, you may ask? Well… Fear could speak and make people hallucinate—he's a sadistic little cat, so I decided on the name Fear. Soul was fairly normal, if you can call telepathy normal…
Fear had black paws, and was mostly orange all over. The tip of his tail was white, as was his belly and under his neck and some of his face. He had two black dots above each eye, and three lines symmetrically on his cheeks and forehead. The word 'Fear' was scratched above his right eye. He never told me why it was there though.
Soul was all white, with gray dots on her face. She was a sweet young girl and the quieter of the two. She was fairly smart, like Fear, and the two helped me with my potions.
And now for me! I'm an odd one for sure. I'm part dragon. My mom apparently was a shape shifting dragon that married a human and had me, my sister, and my little brother. My dad at the moment, isn't alive, due to the rules in my clan how a human could not be in a relationship with any of us… My sister was thought to be too powerful, so she was sealed inside of me, kind of like a jinchuuriki, but way different. My brother was dead too. He died of an incurable new disease a while ago… My mom lives in my clan's territory a while away.
So that leaves me with my guardians, Neri, Scythe, Whiplash, and Aelik.
Neri was a freakishly tall seventeen year old girl, and Aelik was just a head shorter than her and sixteen. Scythe was twenty, and Whiplash was eighteen. They all would protect me with their lives, which I worried about a little, as my clan and a pack of Wolfen were in a war. And with me being the daughter of the leader, you can only imagine how that goes…
Last of all, Riok. He was nineteen and a little shorter than Neri. He was mean, but a genius. He used to try to experiment on me, but was stopped by Scythe and Whiplash. So, to keep the dragon slayer under control and make sure he doesn't completely go insane with murdering my kind, he lives with us. He does sometimes try to kill one of us though from time to time…
Enough of that, let's go on with my wonderfully crazy life!
I rolled my eyes at the two cats and stood, shooing them out. I walked to the bathroom, showered, brushed my teeth and untangled my hair, then got out and dressed in a black T-shirt and long dark blue jeans. Then I walked out into the kitchen to eat.
Riok was sitting at the large round dining table, sipping coffee and reading a book labeled, 'How To Kill a Dragon.'
As I walked past, I smacked him upside the head, causing him to yelp and jump slightly. I smirked and poured myself some Froot Loops and ate quickly, glancing at the clock as I did so. 9:00 AM. A good thing about summer vacation was how long I could sleep in.
"Yo, demon girl," Riok started. I sent him a cold glare at the nickname he gave me. It was expected, since we were natural enemies—a dragon and a dragon slayer. "Somebody sent you a package—two, in fact. It has your name and our address but no return address." He pointed at two carboard boxes on the floor next to the fridge.
I raised an eyebrow and walked over to the box. I kneeled down in front of it and heard a small mewl from the first box. I examined the boxes—they were pretty big, had my name—Akeis Sundrown—in big creepy letters on the front, and had holes in the sides. I raised a hand slightly, my nail on my index finger forming a black curved claw. I raked it over the box and opened the flaps slowly.
-Kitty's POV-The first box-
"Where are we?" A pink kitten mewled, blinking open her green eyes and stating the first question that came to mind.
"In a box." Came a silver kitten's bored reply.
"Hey, look!" a bright yellow kitten yowled, blue eyes shining brightly as he looked up at the top of the box.
"It's a claw… A big one!" another kitten meowed loudly, fuzzy brown fur sticking in all directions, the two red upside-down triangles on his face looking rather comical.
The bright blonde kitten with big blue eyes and long whiskers, pounced at the side of the box, meowing loudly.
"Naruto!" the pink kitten hissed, fur bristling. She stood up, walked over to the hyperactive kitten, and swatted his head. The kitten, now dubbed Naruto, fell on his back inside the box again. Then the two looked up.
Kakashi—the silver kitten from before—stood and leaped gracefully out of the box, only to be caught in small, ice cold hand. He shuddered slightly at the cold hand.
-BACK TO MEEEEE!~-
I blinked as a silver kitten leaped out of the box. I caught it easily, noting a shudder that shook the kitten's body for a moment. Oh, yeah. I'm cold-blooded…
I looked back inside the box, seeing a yellow cat being yowled at by a pink cat—wait, pink?—and a couple other oddly colored kittens staring at them. I looked back at the silver kitten in my hands that was struggling a bit to get free and looked over at Riok.
"Riok, get your scientific butt over here and look at these!" said man looked up, a bored and annoyed expression on his face. He sighed, slamming the book shut and setting his coffee cup down, and walking over. He peered into the box and picked up a dark purple cat with silver eyes. The kitten flinched and mewed softly in fear and surprise.
"Be gentle—" I started, then Riok grabbed the poor thing's tail and held her up by her tail. The kitten mewled in pain and horror, struggling in his hands. "YOU IDIOT!" I kicked his shin, and he let out a hiss, dropping the kitten and falling on his rear, clutching at his shin.
I caught the kitten, put the silver one back in the box, and held the little purple cat close. "Poor kitty! You scared it!" I hissed at him, my eyes narrowed.
"Don't stare at me like that!" Riok snapped, glaring into my bright red eyes. My eyes, just to tell you, looked like Naruto's—from the anime—when he started to go into Kyuubi form.
I ignored him and stroked the purple cat's long fur, murmuring soft comforting words as it started to tremble. I put the kitten back in the box, sighing softly. I noted that all the other kittens were glaring at Riok. Could kittens even glare?
"Aelik! Get in here!" I called. Immediately, a girl with mousey brown hair and big gray eyes was at my side.
"Aw, kittens!" she squealed, picking up the yellow cat with blue eyes. "They're so ka-yooot!" she sat down next to me and put the kitten on her lap, stroking its fluffy fur. "Can we keep 'em?" the older girl looked at me with big eyes.
"Keep what?" we both heard a low, dark voice.
"Hi, Whiplash!" I waved at him happily. The blonde cat in Aelik's lap peered over at Whiplash, blinking cutely. "We found kittens!"
He walked over and sat next to us—lots of sitting here, folks—and stared at the kittens with his one eye. The place where his other eye should've been was covered with an eyepatch.
Whiplash picked up a light brown kitten with almond shaped black eyes and looked at it, saying nothing.
"Aren't they the cutie-utest?" Aelik chirped happily, picking up the silver kitten that I had caught before.
"Yeah, adorable." The man replied sarcastically.
"You, hush, you!" I smacked him lightly upside the head, making him smirk a little and chuckle. He petted the kitten's head and looked over at the second box, which was getting loud with angry kitten yowls.
"I think that box should be opened." He pointed out. I nodded and opened the box with a claw.
"AWW~" I squealed, picking up a silver kitten with purple eyes from the box. Around its neck was a necklace with a circle and a triangle. The kitten yowled angrily and swatted at me, but I batted its paw away lightly with a finger. It was so tiny!—the kitten.
"These cats look really stupid." Whiplash remarked, setting the brown kitten down on the tile floor. The kitten seemed to take offence and smacked Whiplash's hand with his paw, claws drawing a little blood. Whiplash glanced down at the cat and wiped the blood off his battle-scarred hand with his thumb. He flicked the kitten's nose and grabbed a kitten from the second box.
The kitten he had just picked up was a dark brown, so dark it was almost black, and was covered in stitch-like markings. Its eyes were as odd as the rest of it—red with a green iris. Whiplash frowned at the kitten and tugged its tail. The cat's eye twitched and it angrily clawed at his hand, which Whiplash ignored.
"Stop picking on the poor kitties!" came an angry feminine voice from the doorway. I turned and grinned at the tall girl that had to duck under the doorframe.
She walked in, all 8'9 of her freakishly tall height. She glanced down with disdain at the kittens.
"Cats?"
I nodded happily. "Can we keep 'em?"
Her eyes lit up and she picked up another fluffy blonde kitten with blue eyes from the second box. Some of the kitten's fur hung over one of its eyes, and it had a really fluffy tail.
"Sure, why not?" she hugged the kitten to her chest, smiling slightly.
"YAY!" I collected the kittens, put them in their boxes, and had Whiplash help carry them into the living room. Once there, I set the kittens on the large couch and began the naming process.
"You'll be Noodle, cause I say so." I pointed at the hyper blonde kitten with blue eyes and long whiskers. He seemed amused with his name.
"Let's name that one Cherry!" Aelik pointed at the pink kitten with green eyes. I nodded in approval and moved on to the light brown kitten.
"How about Woody?" Aelik tried again.
"No, I want to name him." Whiplash snapped rudely. Aelik pouted and folded her arms.
"Almond." I nodded slightly and moved on. This one was silver with one eye closed, a scar over the closed eye. The visible one was charcoal black. His lower part of his face was dark blue, looking like a mask and he was incredibly fluffy, with a long fluffy tail.
"Scarecrow!" I chirped happily. The kitten made a little sigh and seemed to sweatdrop. Noodle and Cherry were making little kitty-laughs. Almond looked amused.
"You'll be Pup." I patted the brown kitten that was next. He had two upside-down red triangles on each of his cheeks and had a fluffy tail more like a dog than a cat. His ears were folded like a Scottish Fold's ears, and he looked pretty adorable.
"This one can be Flipper!" Neri patted the next one on the head. This one had sleek brown fur and a scar across his nose.
I poked a light blonde female kitten. "You're Flower!"
"Chubby!" Aelik pointed at the light brown one with purple swirls on his cheeks. In all honesty, the kitten did look a bit overweight…
And then the kitten, now dubbed Chubby, pounced at Aelik. The cat that was next to him gave a little kitty sigh and followed Chubby to try to calm him down.
"You can be Foofy!" I patted the dark brown kitten as he passed me. He gave me an incredulous look that said, 'You did not just go there.'
Whiplash didn't make it any better. He fell over laughing and pointing at the poor cat.
"You'll be Ash!" I patted the dark gray kitten's head, who was watching Chubby and Foofy with a slightly amused look on his kitty face. I tried to ignore Whiplash's laughing and moved on to the next kitten. This one was dark black with cute black eyes and slightly rounded ears. He was looking down at a bug that was crawling around on the couch.
"You'll be Bugger, 'kay?" I giggled when he looked up, nodding slightly.
I looked at the purple kitten that Riok had scared. "You can be Candy." I stroked her fur gently.
I looked at the fuzzy female black cat that sat next to her. This one had red eyes. "You can be Illusion." I patted her head.
I looked at the next two kittens. They were… green? They both had shiny green fur, except for their heads. They had black shiny fur on their heads and seemed to be grinning. The smaller one had orange paws and big adorable eyes.
"You're pretty adorable," I scratched the odd kitten behind its ears, "So I'll name you Lee!" he looked up sharply, looking almost… surprised?
In fact, they all were looking at me oddly. I shrugged it off and looked at Lee's look-a-like.
"You'll be Leaf, since I can't think of anything else." He didn't look so amused.
I looked at the brown cat with silver eyes and tried patting its head, but it gave me a look that said, 'Touch me and I'll hurt you.'
"For your attitude, mister," he kept up the glare. "You shall be Grumpy." Aelik giggled at this.
I looked at the next kitten. She had slightly fluffy brown fur and kind of rounded ears. "You'll be Chocolate!"
I hopped over to the other kittens on the other couch and stopped in front of the silver one with purple eyes.
He hissed at me, fur bristling. "Fine, fine. You can be SnickerDoodle." He seemed even more enraged than before and lunged at me. I simply held my hand up and he face-planted into my palm, making the stitched up kitten next to him give a small, deep kitten chuckle.
"You'll be Fluffems!" I hugged the stitch cat and he struggled fiercely.
"You can be Lollipop." I poked the kitten with the orange swirly face and he pawed at my finger, mewing happily.
"…Is this one a boy or a girl?" I picked up the blonde kitten with fur covering one eye and held him up. "OH, it's a boy." The cat yowled angrily at me and swatted at me. "You can be Art, since I have a friend named Art and you look a little bit like him." The cat then stopped trying to claw my hands off and smirked at the red cat next to him.
"You can be Pinocchio!" I tapped the red cat with brown eyes. He ignored me.
I hugged the blue fishy-looking kitten and squealed. "You're so cute! I'll name you Kisame!" again, the kittens gave me odd looks. Kisame, however, seemed happy with getting a name that didn't sound horrible.
"You can be Itachi, since I'm running out of names." I pointed at the black cat with onyx eyes that had stood next to him.
I sat with my legs crossed and sat Kisame on my lap. His leaned against my stomach and gave the others a chesire cat grin.
"You can be Orangey." I poked the orange cat with black dots.
"You'll be Origami!" I petted the blue female kitten's head. She seemed alright with her name.
I stood, holding Kisame in one arm. This kitten was pretty big, I had to admit.
Aelik had Chubby pinned down and was struggling with keeping him under control. Foofy was meowing at Chubby. Pup was playfighting with Noodle, and Cherry was meowing at Scarecrow, who was meowing back—were they having a conversation? Ash seemed to be flirting with Illusion, and Lee and Leaf were mewling really loudly.
SnickerDoodle was yowling at Fluffems, who looked incredibly annoyed.
Fear walked in, followed closely by Soul.
"What's this?" Fear frowned slightly, looking down at the smaller kittens as he leaped onto the couch. She pounced onto Almond and sniffed his face. Fear looked back up at me, fur bristled.
Soul jumped onto the couch, easily sensing the other kittens and avoiding hitting any of them. She sat down on the arm of the couch, sightless eyes staring straight ahead. Her ears fluttered constantly as she listened to each conversation and meow.
Fear roughly picked up Almond by the scruff of his neck and carried him over to me, dropping him roughly onto the floor at my feet.
"They're odd. They're not normal kittens." He growled, a paw pressed against the back of poor Almond's head and pushing his face into the ground.
"Don't be rude, Fear." I scolded, picking Almond up in one hand easily.
Fear glared at me and then sent a glare at everyone else in the room. The room got quiet as the kittens looked over at Fear and Soul. I glared back at Fear. We were so deep in our glaring contest that we both jumped when the door swung open and a shirtless blonde barged in.
"HEX, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO DO THAT?" I shouted at him, pointing at the demon boy.
He held his hands up slightly as if in surrender, but he smirked.
"Ooh, kitties! Why do you have so many?" he picked Scarecrow up. "Did you turn a bunch of people into animals again?" the cats looked at him oddly. I scoffed.
"Of course not. I couldn't possibly turn so many humans into kittens, and keep them in animal form for so long." I replied, setting Almond down. "They're weird, but I doubt they're nothing more than genius kittens."
Hex shrugged, setting Scarecrow back down on the couch.
"Hex!" I pounced onto the cushion next to him. "Where's Olive?" I poked the side of his head and he batted my hand away.
"I don't know, nor do I care. Kim's outside though." And as if on cue, a blue-haired monstrosity barged into the house.
"KIMMY!" I glomped her. Kim let out a yelp and flailed her arms to keep her balance. There was a little yelp behind her too and I quickly jumped off of Kim and helped her steady herself. Behind Kim stood Olive.
Olive was fourteen and taller than I was. He had olive-green eyes and messy short brown hair. His arms were wrapped in bandages and he had a long tail with a bunch of feathers on the end. He was an experiment like Kim and a few others, making him part owl. Under the bandages were feathery arms that he could fly with, but only a few people knew that. He also had large clawed feet like an owl's.
Olive looked over at the kittens and everyone else and hid behind Kim.
"Aww, Olive, say hi to the kitties!" I picked Cherry up and held her out towards the frightened owl-boy. He stared at her, whimpered, and raced out of the room.
"Poor Olly…" Kim muttered and picked up the pink kitten.
"Can't blame him though…"
Olive raced back in the room, being chased by Rage—another one of my creepy cats—who seemed to be enjoying tormenting the boy.
"Rage! Cut it out!" I held my foot out in front of the cat, tripping him. Olive's bandages had been undone and he had glided over to sit on the couch next to the kittens. He was glaring at Rage who was glaring right back.
Rage was like Fear. He was one of those Element cats. He had sleek black fur and his face was white, as was one of his paws. He had icy blue eyes and on his forehead was the word, "RAGE."
Rage hopped up on the couch next to Olive and bit his arm, drawing back and growling, spitting out feathers. Olive smacked Rage with his arm-wing.
"Stupid cat, that hurt…" he grumbled, rubbing where the angry feline had bit him, glad that the feathers and bandages had prevented Rage from biting into his skin.
One of the kittens, the blonde one with blue eyes and whisker marks, leaped onto Olive's arm and sniffed at the dark brown feathers, then cast Olive a curious look.
"They're wings." Olive said, the bandages unwrapping itself on its own. He spread his wing and flapped it slightly. Noodle poked it with a paw as the bandages resumed their original position around his feathery arm.
"Well, off of the topic of Olive having wings—these kittens smell." Kim wrinkled her nose up at the kittens. I sniffed and wished I hadn't. The kittens did stink, and with my heightened sense of smell, they didn't smell exactly like a bunch of roses…
The kittens seemed offended and most gave her small glares.
"Okay then! Bathy-bath time!" I picked up Scarecrow. "You guys grab a couple kittens and come on." I picked Almond up too and headed towards the bathroom. I opened the door and stepped inside.
It was a fairly large bathroom, with a big bathtub and a shower separate at the other end of the bathroom, and another door leading to the enclosed toilet place. There was a small closet full of towels and bathy-stuff. There was a smaller bathtub next to the big one for when the animals needed cleaning.
I put the kittens in the smaller bathtub and pulls out two little towels from a drawer. I then grabbed some kitten shampoo—I had a lot, since I had quite a few cats in the house already—and set it on the counter next to the sink. Humming a cheery tune, I flicked the water on and turned to walk over to the closet to get a large cup to pour water on the kittens to rinse them later.
The water filled up a little past the kittens' paws when I turned off the water.I thoroughly scrubbed the kittens' fur with the kitty shampoo, earning little protest.
I grabbed the bucket and filled it with water and dumped it over them. Scarecrow shook himself and Almond gave me a small kitten-glare to show his displeasure. I giggled and took them out of the tub, grabbing a towel and roughly drying them.
I heard a loud yell of, "DEMONS!" from Whiplash, and saw Snickerdoodle and Fluffems race down the hallway, yowling and screeching their lungs off, both soaking wet. Fluffems ran into the bathroom I was in and Snickerdoodle followed. Whiplash, however, didn't see them move and continued to run.
I then noticed that Snickerdoodle had a little bob-tail.
"Aww, cute." I snickered. Snickerdoodle turned to face me, a confused look in his eyes. "Your tail's so short!" I sang.
Snickerdoodle looked back at his behind, and viola! A little stubby tail. I swear I saw a little anime tickmark appear on his forehead as he yowled in anger.
"Shut up, Doodle." I threw a sponge at him, which he screeched at angrily as it smacked him in the face.
"Yo' Aker." Hex walked into the room. "You notice something weird about some of the cats?" he was holding Kisame and Itachi.
I shook my head, "No, what is it?" he walked over beside me and set Kisame on his back, pointing at a smudge on the kitten's chest.
"A red cloud?"
"Isn't that odd? Haven't these cats reminded you of that anime you watch?"
I thought for a moment, then nodded. "I'll contact my mom. You wash the kittens." And with that, I ran out the door and out of the house.
What I didn't know was that this was going to turn into a whole lot of trouble real soon.
A/N: So, how was it? Was it good, bad?
Note: I'll be updating whether you give reviews or not. I would like reviews though-it'd be nice to see what you guys think!
