I'm back with Chapter Two! It took longer to write than I thought. I hope you like it. I'm going to start chapter three in a few minutes. I got my move in date for college. I can't wait! I just need to get in gear and pack.

Disclaimer - I do not own Naruto.

I cooed and scratched the little black kitten behind its ear. I looked at it and noticed that its eyes were red. I quickly put it back in the box.

The Akatsuki stared up at the red haired girl who had opened the box. They didn't know what to expect when her green eyes widened. Deidara couldn't help but laugh when she snatched up a kitten Itachi and began to pet him. Itachi seemed unamused by it all but sighed in relief when the girl put him back in the box.

The girl looked at all the kittens before turning to what they assumed were her brothers by their similar appearances.

"We should keep them," she said in a serious tone. "Without someone to care for them, they will starve and die."

The men behind her nodded. The taller of the two knelt down in front of the box. "I always wanted a cat." He bent down and picked up Tobi. The orange and black kitten purred in his hands.

"Aw, Drew. He likes you!" The girl giggled as she stroked the kitty's fur.

The other man knelt down to the box. "Poor cats have been dyed. I can only imagine what must have happened to them." He reached into the box and started to grab Hidan. Hidan hissed and spit at the man causing him to snatch his hand back.

"Cats like you are the reason I hate your species," he glared.

Hidan hissed again, "You little fucker! I will sacrifice you to Lord Jashin!" Hidan kept his little, kitty rant going until Pein hissed at him to knock it off.

The girl picked up Kisame and set him in her lap. She began petting his fur. He closed his eyes and softly began to purr.

A few of the others laughed at him. He opened his eyes and glared at them. "I am enjoying this. Don't ruin it."

I smiled into the box. I loved dogs, but I was a sucker for cute kittens. And boy were these kittens cute. I reached in and one by one took them out of the box. I was surprised when they stayed put. I was expecting us to have to chase down some cats. I scratched behind the ear of the blue kitten in my lap. "I think you are my favorite," the kitten meowed happily.

"If we're keeping them, we need to name them," Drew looked at me.

Matt immediately popped off with a comment, "Don't let her do it. She'll name them after anime characters.

I rolled my eyes. "I won't. I promise."

Matt told me to take an oath. I rolled my eyes annoyed.

"Halo, take the oath. I don't trust you on your word alone," Drew looked at me. I sighed and agreed,

Drew cleared his throat and told me to raise my right hand. He looked me in the eye and spoke, "Do you solemnly swear not to name any of these cats after any anime character?"

I was about to say, "I do" when Matt opened his big mouth again, "Include Harry Potter in the oath too."

Drew nodded, "As well as any character with relation to Harry Potter."

I grumbled and nodded, "I do."

My brothers nodded.

"Do we name them now, or wait for Liam?" Matt looked at us.

"Liam won't be home until late tonight and he's leaving in a week. These are our babies so we should name them without him. Besides, he is really uncreative with names. He named the last cat we had Snowball," Drew looked at him.

"What's wrong with Snowball?" Matt tilted his head confused. "It's a normal cat name."

Drew chuckled, "Not if the cat is yellow."

I looked around at all the cats to begin thinking of names. I was rattling through my brain to find the perfect name for each one of our little kitties.

I pointed to an all red kitten. It had some weird markings on its chest. "Let's name that one Napoleon," I suggested.

Matt raised his eyebrow, "Why?"

"It's the shortest of all ten. It looks like it might have a Napoleon complex," I shrugged.

The boys couldn't think of anything so Napoleon became the kitty's name.

I looked at both of my brothers. Matt was deep in thought and I knew he had some weird name in his head. Drew's face was drawing blank.

Matt's face instantly lit up as he picked up the black and orange cat. Its body was all black but its face was orange. Reminded me of Tobi from the Akatsuki. That's when my face lit up. I thought of a way to name the cat after an Akatsuki member but not break the oath. All I had to do was replace the 'I' in Tobi with a 'y.'

Matt held up the cat. "I give you, Bandit!"

I took the kitty and stroked the fur on his head. "Let's name him, Toby."

Drew plucked the cat from my hands and shook his head. "I known what you are trying to do and I don't like it. Because of that stunt, we are naming him Bandit."

I pouted and looked at the other cats. Theses cats were really weird. They were all sitting in a circle meowing at one another. I didn't think cats did that. I shrugged it off thinking that I knew nothing about cats.

I picked up the blue kitty from my lap. "Can I name him Flynn?" The oath I was forced to take said nothing about naming the cats after Disney characters. Flynn Rider was my favorite 'prince' and this cat looked like he could do a mean smolder. I heard my brothers sigh but they agreed. I giggled happily and set the cat back in my lap.

The Akatsuki stared up at the three siblings. They watched curiously as each cat was picked up and named. Hidan scratched and clawed at the hands that picked him up earning him the name Asswipe. Itachi had been named Batman because of his all black fur. Kakuzu received the name Grumpy because he seemed unamused by everything. Deidara was named Butter because of his golden fur. Pein and Konan were named Baron and Baroness because the other cats seemed to take orders from them.

The girl looked down at Zetsu's cat form curiously. She picked him up carefully and showed him to her brothers.

"I'm not saying we should name him this, but does this cat look like Zetsu from the Akatsuki?"

The Akatsuki stiffened at the mention of the name.

The younger boy looked at Zetsu's kitty appearance. His dual colored fur was split down the middle and green surrounded him like a coat.

"Yeah, now that you mention it, he does."

He picked up Hidan who began swearing and scratching. "Maybe they were dyed by some Akatsuki super-fan. This one has the Jashin symbol on his chest. So this one must be Hidan."

The girl chuckled to herself. "Imagine if they were the real Akatsuki and this was like one of those fan fictions where they travel to another world."

Her twin brother gave her an unamused look. "Then I would have to restrain you to keep you from trying to sexually assault Kisame and Hidan."

Kisame took this as an opportunity to get out of the girl's lap.

The girl held up a finger. "Hey, I may find those two extremely sexy, but I'm not stupid. They could kill me way too easily. There's no way that I could overpower them. Besides, if I was going to go after one of them, it'd be Hidan he's closer to my age."

Hidan smirked, "Damn straight, Bitch! Jashin would be happy to have another sacrifice."

Pein looked at his followers and began addressing the issue. These people knew the Akatsuki member's names and appearances. No doubt they could have other information. They needed to find out what they knew and how much they knew. Not to mention if it was possible for them to return to their original forms. They needed to gain the trust of these strange people.

I stood up and stretched, "If we are going to have ten cats, we need to get some cat food, food dishes, collars, and a few litterboxes. The pet store closes in a couple hours."

Drew stood up and told me that he would go to the pet store. I made a list of everything we would need and told him to get a large bag of cat food. I told him not to bother with getting beds for the kitties. Cats sleep wherever the hell they want. He nodded, grabbed his keys and wallet, and headed out the door.

Matt looked at me as his stomach started growling. We must have had a twin thing going on because two seconds later mine began to growl.

"I think we might have some sandwich stuff. I can make us grilled ham and cheese."

Matt grinned and agreed. I am an awful cook but there are two things in this world that I can make practically perfect: grilled sandwiches and ramen noodles.

I immediately headed into the kitchen. I notice that a few of the kittens followed me. Asswipe and Grumpy were arguing and scratching at each other. Batman was standing beside them and ignoring them. I laughed softly and picked the three cats up. I set them on the bar counter and smiled.

"Don't tell Drew that you got to be up there," I whisper softly. I heard Asswipe's tiny belly growl. I smiled and wrapped some cheese inside a few pieces of ham. I gave each of the three kittens a piece.

Hidan licked his lips. "Damn that is good!"

Kakuzu rolled his eyes. "You'll eat anything."

Hidan hissed at the older cat. "I will not eat fucking vegetables. Those damn things are fucking nasty!"

I laughed to myself as I heard Asswipe start hissing at Grumpy. Those two really hated each other. Their relationship reminded me of Hidan and Kakuzu's.

I sighed to myself as I flipped the grilled sandwich, "I'm way too obsessed with anime."

I had four sandwiches made in a matter of minutes. I grinned and took in the wonderful aroma as I set them on a couple plates.

I carried them into the living room. Batman jumped off the counter and landed gracefully on his feet. I laughed as I saw Grumpy push Asswipe off the counter causing the silver kitty to hissed and land on his face. Grumpy jumped down with a small smirk on his face. The three followed me back to the living room.

I handed Matt his plate of sandwiches and sat next to him on the couch. We began munching away happily at the cheesy goodness.

An hour later, Drew walked through the door with his arms full of cat goodies. I ran up and helped him carry them to the kitchen. Once there I set out the ten little cat bowls and filled them with the cat food. I snuck some ham into the bowls with it. Matt corralled the animals into the kitchen and we set the food in front of them. I sat on the floor watching the cats curiously. Matt and Drew went around the house and set up litter boxes in both bathrooms, the hallway, and living room.

The Akatsuki stared at their bowls curiously. The food inside smelled horrible, but they were hungry. Kisame was the first to dive into the food.

"It's not bad, but it isn't good either," he shrugged. The others soon stepped towards their food and began eating. Hidan gaged dramatically as he inhaled a full piece of food.

The girl wasn't paying any attention. Kakuzu chuckled as he watched the zealot gag. After a few seconds, Hidan dislodged the food from his throat.

Once their food was gone, the girl yawned, "It's getting late kitties and I need to sleep."

She scooped Hidan, Kisame, Konan, Itachi, and Deidara into her arms. "The rest of you can sleep with Matt."

Matt scooped up the rest of the cats and the two siblings headed for their separate bedrooms.

How was it? I don't like how I ended it, but I had to this way in order to start Chapter THree the way that I want.

I'm looking for a creative way to turn the kitties back into the Akatsuki. A lot of other ACATsuki fanfics use hot water to turn them human. That is a clever idea, but I'm looking for something out of the box. If you have ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Be on the lookout for Chapter Three!

Love,
