First Person
I Left the college Campus with a sigh. Majoring in English LIT was probably the hardest thing I had done up to that point. With my brown hair swaying softly as I walked, idea for the next few chapters of my novel brewing in my head, I sipped on my latte as I walked to my shared apartment.
about halfway through the walk something caught my eye. It was a box sitting next to the wall, taped shut. Curious, I walked closer until I head a sound and froze. I head meowing. Jogging forward, I dropped my bag beside me and drew my key, slicing the box open. Lifting the lid, I saw 10 pairs of eyes staring up at me.
"Kittens..." I murmured, frowning at their dyed fur. I extended my hand to pet a peculiar silver kitty with piercing magenta eyes. Just as I brushed it's head, it clawed me.
"Fucker..." I cursed the kitten, then narrowed my eyes as he seemed to snicker, before being cut-off by a large brown kitten with stitch like markings cuffing him over the ear. When The Silver kitten moved to retaliate, a dull red kitted with strange grey ringed eyes hissed at him in a commanding manner. All noise ceased.
"The Silver one is a fucker but the rest of you seem dank enough... And I can't really leave a bunch of kittens in the street can I?" I chuckled, "Yes. Yes I can." I deadpanned, returning my face to it's neutral expression. I made to get up and go, but my attention was snatched back by wails from a black cat with a orange face and a splotch of black around one of it's onyx eyes. It pawed up at me, meowing frequently.
My cuteness meter broke to say the least. I internally squeed, (Thank jashin nobody was around to see the dumb expression that was on my usually stoic face.) I reached down and picked it up, stroking it head to tail. It's cute purrs just completely shattered every single brain cell I possessed with the sheer amount of cuteness this cat possessed.
"Ah fuck it. Sydni won't protest anyway... I at least THINK she likes cats..." I say, weighing my options. I then proceeded to pick up the box of cats after placing the cutie on my head, finished my drink, threw it into a dumpster, and proceeded home.
Upon arriving at my shared apartment, I banged my head against the door. I didn't have a free hand to open it, plus, why NOT slam your head against a mettle and plastic door?
The door opened up, only to be slammed shut in my face at the sight of the box, and the jolly lil' kitty on my head. Not to mention, I had magically slipped on a fake mustache for effect. The kitties looked mystified.
"Bitch," I whined, " Lemme in!"
The door opened up to reveal the one and only... drum-role please... Sydni Hall! My only friend... and quite possibly the most... normal... person I know. Aside from her being a closet Weaboo, (I am too) She was completely sane! Well, as sane as she can be living with yours truly.
"I brought dinner." I say jokingly, walking in.
"I'm not even going to ask. Just bring them in here and let's pick our own..."
"You're learning!" I complement, "I'm so proud of you!"
"I'm proud that you're still breathing."
"... Well fuck you too."
We go into the main room of our little two bedroom apartment, and sit on the floor. I let the kittens outside of the box and we begin the wonderful process called names.
"Whoever dyed these poor kittens must have been an anime nerd. The coloring kinda remind you of the Akatsuki, right?" She ask, taking them in. The Kittens are all staring at her. She stares back.
"You kitties Never seen a black woman? Kathryn these cats are weird."
"Yeah. True, bit if I find the person who did this Lord-Jashin will be very proud of my work..." I giggle a little, and don't notice that the temperature in the room drop around 10 degrees. The silver kitten looked up at me curiously, while the rest seemed to stiffen a little.
"Once again, just make sure you get rid of the evidence. I don't want the cops up mine, or your ass. Where do you PUT all of your dead bodies from your sacrifices anyway?"
"I put them in a hole and burn them," I say cheerfully, smiling away.
"Why do I even ask..." She replies, sweat-dropping.
"On to naming bitches!" I yell, throwing my arms up, watching happily as the little orange and black kitten that was so cute erliers start runing in circles, chasing it's little tail.
I pick up the silver one who clawed me earlier. "I dub thee Bastard Child. Bastard for short. I honestly don't care about your gender. Your new back story is that your mom fucked another man and had you. She liked your imaginary sister more and threw you in the trash." I say this with a deadpan expression, holding Bastard by his scruff.
"What the hell Kathryn!?" Sydni Exclaims, laughing at my choice of naming. The kitten looks mortified and angry, and a large blue kitten seems like it's snickering.
Sydni then proceeds to pick up the brown cat with odd stitch-like stripes running over it's body. "This just looks like a stitch. I could name him La-la loopsy..." She says this while snickering at the cat's first display of emotion while inside the house.
"DO IT SYDNER!" I yell, smiling and being overly eccentric as always.
Next I pick up what looks to be the only female. The kitten almost... blushes? At being checked. "I just feel she should Origami..." I tell to Sydni, she's just over there hugging La-La-Loopsy over there to her chest, stroking him. The cat doesn't look particularly happy, but you can tell he's enjoying her ministrations.
"Do it. You're pretty good at origami too. You should make a paper flower then attach it to a rubber-band and put it on her tail. Would be cute, She says, disconnected, staring at a Pure black cat with beautiful crimson eyes.
Origami looks very happy with her name.
"Your turn Sydner. Take your next cat."
"I want that black one... I'm naming him Hēisè." She says after checking him. No reaction. It means black in traditional Chinese."
"Ooh... Fancy..." I say, winking at her.
"Be quiet."
"You know you love me."
"In your dreams."
"Anyway, I'm Taking my next cat." I pick up One of the two dull red kitties. I then check once again the gender. Male. The kitten gives no reaction, "You seem very bored." The cat proceeds to role it's eyes. "Well fuck you too bitch. I dub thee Sarcasm. Your back story is now that your parents were bad-ass ninja cats. But then one day they died. Your Grandma then did her best to try and make you happy. Even going so far as to show you her hobby and life work. You then developed the beautiful skill of sarcasm. But then you left and ended up in that box."
The cat's eyes widened at my story, then narrowed.
"Geese. Your silent at least, but Your eyes make it look like you're bitching..." I say sarcastically, sending my death glare at it. The same glare I use to trap people in their tracks when I'm pissed.
"..."
"Damn. Not even a meow. This cat is good." I say, genuinely surprised. Sydni then proceeds to pick up the large blue cat that has been snickering the entire time.
"I've seen you snickering over there. It's your turn now bitch." She says, checking it. It stills, Ceasing all snickering, and just going black.
"Yup. It's got a dick. What I expected anyway. I dub thee jaws, after that old shark from the movie.
"Real original Sydner. Good job." I say, clapping.
"My turn bitches!" I pick up a blonde cat with blue eyes. "You're a guy... But I'm just going to name you Brittney..." I say, slowly putting him down.
Sydni then picks of a perfectly split black and white cat.
"Bi-racial." She says, putting him down.
"Ooooooohhhhhh!" I yell, "Best name yet!" I then proceed to pick up the little cutie.
"Lollipop. Because I can't think of any other names." He then proceeds to lick my nose happily. "Aww! So cute!" I squee, snuggling him into my cleavage. Bastard child glares at him jealously.
"I'm watching you over there Bastard. AND WHY DOES A CAT EVEN GIVE JEALOUS GLARES?!"
Sydni then picks of the last kitten of the bunch. He is dull red and has strange ringed purple eyes. "Kathryn... I am really hating these cat's previous owners right now. This one I think has in Rinnegan contacts... I sub thee Sama-Sama. Don't ask why, just go with it." She says kindly, stroking him softly. The cat stiffens, and makes to get out of her grasp. She let's him go.
"Anywho, Jashin-Sama will most likely be angry that I haven't gotten him any sacrifices in a while... I hate the cops... They're catching on about all these disappearances. I'll have to at least try tomorrow. It's time for bed Sydni. I'm guessing you already ate, And I don't eat dinner, so let's just go." We Both scoop up our 'Kittens' and proceed to our bedrooms. Little did we know that these 10 cats would change our lives for better, or for worse.
