Note: This fic will be confusing at times if you haven't read Kitty Daze. It is advised for you to read it before this. OCs and some parts of the plot are carried over from that fic.

Those who haven't read Kitty Daze, these one-shots (along with the original fic) was based of a concept in a different anime. I will explain the anime this fic was based off at the end.

For this one-shot, it is fine to read before Kitty Daze. In fact, if you read this before the original, it would give you more of a sense of how the anime where the idea came from was like.

One-shot warning: This one-shot has very mild, implied violence.

Random talk: Rubi-chan here! Welcome to my first ever one-shot collection! This one is special as it actually relates to another fic of mine, Kitty Daze. Hence the name, Cat Naps! Like it says in the warning, it is a good idea to read Kitty Daze before the one-shots.

If you decide against this suggestion and are confused at the end of this one-shot, I will explain a few things that might help

So, to all my loyal fans of Kitty Daze and any new readers, I present to you the first one-shot of Cat Naps! Enjoy!

Chanced Meeting

It was official; the day after a storm was just as bad as the storm itself. Everything was wet and it was still fairly humid. It was impossible to find a nice dry place they could stay while keeping out of sight. To top it all off, his hair was practically sticking up!

The boy sighed, trying to tame his brown hair once more. Blue eyes shone in frustration as his tail and ears twitched, clearly showing he was annoyed. His outfit consisted of a while long sleeved shirt, black short sleeved hoodie jacket that was opened to reveal a red t-shirt, blue cargo pants, and gray sneakers. All of this clung to his body due to being out in the rain all night. Yup, he really hated the rain right now.

His younger brother, on the other hand, was enjoying his misery. The short, ebony haired child was on the floor, laughing, making sure his black tail wouldn't get squashed. His gray eyes were closed so tears wouldn't fall. His black jacket, white shirt, tan pants, and blue sneakers were just getting even dirtier from being on the ground. The elder rolled his eyes at the younger's actions.

"Laugh it up," the elder said. "See if I get you food."

"Sorry, nii-sama, nya! You look silly, nya," the younger said, as he calmed down. The growl of a stomach filled the alleyway. Both children looked at the younger's stomach, knowing that it was the cause of the sound. "I's hungry, nya…"

"I'll go get some," the elder said, giving a mock sigh of annoyance. "Make sure to stay here and out of sight. You don't want to be taken from me, do you?"

"No! I go hide, nya!" the child yelled. "Just come back fast, nya!"

The brunet laughed as he ruffled his brother's hair. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Now go hide." The younger nodded before dashing off to find a hiding place. The elder stood there until he was sure his brother was hidden well. He nodded when the child was fully hidden and took off down the alley.

It didn't take long before the boy found something for them to eat. He could smell some fish in a package near a dumpster. Sure, it didn't smell fresh, but it was at least edible. The boy assumed that someone forgot about it, which meant anyone had a right to it. He smiled as he ate a little bit of the fish before grabbing some for his little brother.

Just as he was about to head back, there was the sound of dogs growling behind him. He could feel the heat from the dog's breath on his back. His instincts were telling him to run, but his body just froze in fear. One of the dogs barked, jumpstarting his brain. He ran with the dogs hot on his trail.

Jonouchi Katsuya was walking with his mother and sister to the shopping district. Today was his eight birthday and they were going out to get ingredients for dinner tonight, kare rice. (1) His mother didn't even have to ask what he wanted for his birthday dinner since he would just ask for his favorite anyway.

"Mama, what's that noise?" the little blond child asked as he pulled his mother's hand. "I can hear dogs, but there is another noise." His mother listened to see what her son was talking about. She could hear two dogs barking and growling from a nearby alley. Yet, she could also hear a faint sound that was masked by the dogs. It only took a few seconds to figure out what it was.

"I think it's a cat, Katsuya," she replied. "Sounds like it's in pain."

"Then we have to help it!" Jonouchi yelled. He let go of his mother's hand and took off down the alley. He didn't hear his mother yelling for him to come back, nor his sister asking what was going on. His attention was on the cat's cry of pain.

The brunet boy was curled up into a ball in an attempt to protect himself from the attacking dogs. He almost escaped if he didn't trip. Even with all the injuries he was receiving, the pain from his ankle was the worst. He could only assume he had twisted, if not broken, it from the fall.

"Please!" he cried. "Someone, help me!"

"Hey, leave him alone!" someone yelled. "Go away!"

The dogs attention was shifted to the newcomer. The boy didn't dare look up to see his possible savor in fear the dogs would resume their assault on him. There were a few more shouts before the boy heard the dogs take off. Only then did he look at the one who saved him. A boy no older than ten stood a few feet away. His golden blond hair shined and warm brown eyes seemed like he was a young angel or something.

"Are you okay?" the blond child asked as he bent over the other to pick him up. His eyes widened when he got a closer look at the injuries. "Ah! Mama! Kitty needs some help!"

The injured one could feel himself being picked up. Warm arms surrounded his body, making him drowsy. The last thought in his mind was if his little brother was still hiding.

He didn't expect to wake up. He really thought those dogs were going to kill him the same way his mother and little brother's litter mates were killed. What he didn't expect was to be laying on a soft surface, bandaged up, and the same blond angel that saved him hovering over him.

"He's awake!" the blond yelled. "Mama! He's awake!"

"Not so loud, Katsuya," a woman standing next to the boy scolded. "I can see he's awake. I didn't expect him to wake up after six hours considering what happened. He must be a fighter."

"Can we keep him?" the child now named Katsuya wined. "Think of it as my birthday present if you want! I even have a name for him!"

The woman sighed, giving a soft smile. "I guess it's okay. I see no reason why not. We already got you something, but I guess having the little guy around won't be too bad. And I'm sure your father wouldn't mind the little one around."

"What little one?" a man asked. The brunet tried to turn his head to see who it was, but he was just too weak to even move a centimeter.

"Daddy!" the blond yelled as he moved out of sight of the brunet. He could hear a young girl also squealing the same word. "I found a cat that some dogs were hurting! Can we keep him? I already got a name for him!"

"What is today? Pickup Strays Day?" the man laughed. "I found this kitten hiding in some cardboard boxes and looked pretty hungry. I couldn't leave him out there."

"So cute!" the girl said. "I wanna call him Mokuba!"

"Nii-sama, nya?" a meek voice asked, catching the brunet's attention. A few minutes later, he could feel his younger brother hug him as hard as he could. "Nii-sama! I was scared when you didin't came back, nya! Then the big man found me and took me here, nya!"

"Sorry," the brunet whispered, hugging his little brother as best as he could. "You're safe now, that's all that matters."

"Strange," the man said quietly. "It's like they already know each other. Guess we don't have an option."

"Looks like we have two new pets," the woman sighed. "So, what do you want to call this one, Katsuya?"

"Seto!" the boy shouted, appearing in the brunet's view once more. "I'll call him Seto-chan!"

"Seto," the brunet whispered. "I like it."

Owari

(1) Kare rice is curry rice. I just like saying kare rather then curry. Either way, it really is Jonouchi's favorite food.

Random talk: For those who didn't take my advice and are really lost with what happened, the idea for Kitty Daze came from an anime "Magical Meow Meow Taruto" (so says my DVD even though the "Meow"s are "Nyah"s in Japan). In the series, cats see each other as small humans (about thigh high for an adult human) with cat ears and tail. They also speak human language. Yet, for us humans, cats just look like cats and say "meow". Yes, that means Kaiba and Mokuba are cats and Jonouchi is human.

For those who did read Kitty Daze, now you know how Kaiba and Jonouchi met. A few things had to change from what I wanted. Mokuba was going to be hiding for a few days before Shizuka would find him. But I just couldn't be that mean to Mokuba since I think I pick on him enough in my fics, including non-posted fics…

Now for a request to my readers. My goal is to have at least 10 one-shots for this collection. So far I only have 8 planed. This is where you guys come in! Feel free to leave a review with suggestions on what you would like to read. The only requirements are that the ideas have to be PG-13 (no lemons for I don't want to scare my beta off) and has to relate to Kitty Daze in some way. Who knows, I might use it! Better yet, I might have that idea planed and you give me more ideas for it!

Until next time!

Rubi-chan, over and out!
