A/N: Hi! After getting a review telling that my story needs more realistic events, I've revised it. Enjoy!

Kitty in a box

Chapter 1. I gots thee kitty

It was raining..

No scratch that, hailing!

So much hail that could take over an entire village.

Deep within the hail was a powerful creature with nine tails and robust fur. It's eyes were filled with rage no one else would understand. The beast will roam around the plains lost in deep thought and despair until a girl with green hair saved the day.

"No, no. That doesn't make any sense.." scowled a feminine voice.

She rolled around in her chair, trying to look for another introduction. The girl had locks of the freshest blossoms and eyes of flickerig emeralds. She was an aspiring author who just got out of college. A client chose her to make him a book last summer when she did the columns of the daily news paper.

Yes, she was stressed out. This was her first gig for kami's sake! Her pencil touched the paper and she violently rubbed the bottom part onto the paragraph she constructed just moments ago. The girl looked up from her work, her phone was ringing.

She rolled down the wood and picked up the phone. "Hello? What do you want?" the pinkette mumbled.

"Hey, that's not the right way to talk to an old friend! Gosh forehead, your getting worse by the second."

"It's this damn novel I'm working on. Every time I try to write a scene or sketch out the characters, it turns out to be a children's dietary show."

"Well, why don't you change the story into a fantasy? You know, with talking animals and such."

"You know what Ino? That's not a bad idea.."

"Great! I'll start it off for you. There was once a black cat named Sasuke, he was to marry a sexual goddess named In-"

"Okay, I get it. Talk to you later."

"W-wait a se-" She got cut off once more.

Sakura placed the phone on the hook. She wheeled back over to her desk and started to write, about a black cat named Shadow. Yes, it's name was Shadow. That was the only name she could come up with at the moment. After creating a bio for the kitten, she stopped writing.

"I can't write about a cat if I don't have one.." She said in a low voice.

Then suddenly, an idea came to mind. Yes, she'll go to the pet shop and purchase one! Sakura got her butt off the seat and made a dash for her purse. She started to feel around for her wallet to check and see how her finances are doing. After figuring out her income balance, she called a few animal shelters for results.

Ring, ring, someone picked up. "Hello?"

"Yes, I'm looking to adopt a pet. What are the store hours?"

"From eight thirty am to six thirty ma'am."

"Thank you. I'll stop by right now to choose out an animal."

Sakura placed the phone back into place and got up. She took her purse off the couch ad walked over to the door. At once she opened it and were greeted with light rain. That didn't stop her. The girl turned on her heels and spotted an umbrella.

She opened it and walked into the foggy weather. The young woman directed her self into town and started to look for any pet shops nearby. There was once near the bakery which she took for granted and stepped inside.

A young shaggy haired boy greeted her at the desk, "Ohayo Sakura-chan, what might it be?"

Sakura seemed distracted. "Umm.. yeah, I would like to take a look at your cats."

"Sure. Step this way ma'am."

The boy maneuvered him self out of the counter and walked down the aisle with Sakura by his side. A smile crept upon her lips as she studied the cats sitting in cages. Some were up at the glass meowing playfully or sitting in the back of the cage in fear.

Now she didn't want a shy kitty. It must be an adventurous tom with guts, and will. Not shaking in fear from the presence of a human. But that dream faded away. None of the cats were up to her standards. This frustrated her.

"Thanks for showing me them. I think I'll go home now.." She spoke in sadness.

The clerk tried to reassure her. "Why don't you buy the orange tabby? He seemed to have bonded with you the most."

Sakura adverted her gaze to the window south of them. A medium sized cat with orange fur and puzzling cute azure eyes mewed at her in happiness. It was true, that was the tabby she had bonded with the most. But sadly, her hero was a black coated feline, not orange.

"No thanks.. see you around Kiba."

Kiba watched her leave out of the shop. He looked back at the tabby, "Sorry little guy. I'm sure that one day some one would take you home with them."

...

Sakura moved slowly down the concrete. Her head was down in shame as she walked down the side walk holding onto her umbrella. The rains picked up adding to her misery complex. Said girl signed deeply and kept moving forward into the rain.

Until suddenly, a faint purr radiated off her heels. She looked down, spotting a black cat purring agianst her leg. This amused her so.

"That's strange, I thought cats hated rain."

The cat only answered back with a short mew. It sat still at her heels, ignoring the clasp of thunder radiating off the sky. Even though that didn't annoy him, it did to her. Sakura increased her speed off into the distance leaving the black cat behind.

"I got to go.. home!" She breathed, storming down the street.

Then she stopped walking. Rain drops drifted off her petal locks. She looked back in guiltiness, that cat was still left out in the rain. Sakura wanted to help it. She went back in reverse, half mad by what she was putting her self into for the sake of a cat.

As the woman got closer, his form got bigger, not smaller. Sakura stopped at the closer range and watched it wander over and sit at her feet. The cat pulled it's next up towards her, freaking the crud out of her.

Its eyes are.. red.

Sakura moved back in fear, hitting a few bricks. She felt it's rock hard shape sending waves agianst her spine, knocking her out completely. The girl fell over on the ground and the umbrella she carried laid right next to her. Her green eyes opened half way, taking notice of a black haired man with the same red eyes.

"Where is your house?" It questioned, well more like demanded.

"Over at the.. east.." She answered, with no ounce of energy left. "W-who.. are you?"

The man didn't answer and picked her up. He put her to his chest in a simple bridal style formation and took to the roof tops. Sakura kept quiet underneath his sharp pecks and enjoyed the ride given by this said beast.

This was way better then her upcoming novel..

A/N: I know its short and all. Buttt.. I have plans to morph it into something wonderful.

Tell me what you think. First to review get's a cookie!
