I use to think that Zack was a dog person. I mean put a pair of ears and a wagging tail on him and you get instant puppy. Never in a million years would I think he'd take a cat home with him, despite his friend's plea to send said cat to an animal shelter. Now I think he's just a animal person.

I started to come to when I heard the sounds of door opening and closing. I probably was in Zack's apartment. I opened one of my eyes to look ,around. It was a roomy but small apartment built with a small kitchen,living room, and out the corner of me eye was a small and short hall way. I figured the bedroom and bathroom were there. Not bad for 3rd class solider, not bad at all.

"Home sweet home kitty cat,"said Zack cheerfully.

Zack still holding the bundle of me walked past the couch and towards the hallway then made a short turn to the door. He stopped and look down at me. I swore he looked hesitant to open the door muttering something about cats and baths before opening the door to the-

Bathroom. It was fairly small bath room with the standard sink, toilet and shower. Zack closed the sink and turned it on, I watched as it filled. The my brain started to finally comprehend what was going on. Bathroom. Zack's quiet mumble. Sink. Water. Kitty. Ohhhhh, gosh I become slow.

Zack turned off the tap when the sink was close to the top and uneasily looked down at me. Then at the sink and then me. It's almost like he thinks I'm going to spontaneously combust into a angry scratching monster by the mere sight of water. With Zack being Zack thats what he was probably thinking too. So I decide to do something to completely mind blow him. As he slowly unwrapped me I made my move. I dove right into the sink head first and damn I mean darn did that hot warm water feel good. As I came up for air I saw Zack's befuddled face as he look down on me. I even cutely mewed at him as I splashed in the water a little. Really now Zack, no more silly stereotypical Saturday morning cartoons for you anymore. I just help clear up some of the cat fears water stereotype because I'm just that awesome like that. Also really really lucky. I mean what if I really was afraid of water and jumped into my doom? But I'm not afraid so it all good.

I clumsily kitty paddled around the sink will Zack the puppy found some shampoo. I hope it was animal friendly shampoo, oh bubbles. Some bubbles floated upwards as Zack rubbed me with some shampoo. I tried to swipe at the bubbles but Zack's hands were busy rubbing and rising the suds off.

He laughed as I pounced on the bubbles around me but the water keep swishing around me. Curse you swishing water, curse you. I suddenly find bubbles more interesting now because of them being shinny. But they pop so easily, grrr. Curse you shinny bubbles, curse you. It was about 6 minutes later Zack deeded me sparkly clean. He lifted me up as he drained the water and I sadly watched my bubble friends wash down the drain. I then went through the drying process on the counter. After Zack removed the towel off my head he suddenly started to chuckle. I narrowed my eyes and turned around towards the mirror. I was now a ball of black fluff with a pair of sky blue eyes and a puffy tail. Zack then pulled out a small comb and went to tame my puffy fur. That's when the fighting started. I hated it when someone else brushed my hair and I hated combs even more. Also being that this comb wasn't special made for animals and my fur was super tangly(I refused to lick my self at all, have you seen the streets of migdar) I was not a happy camper.

Zack brought the comb closer with a happy grin on his face, he must thinks it so easy right now to take care of a cat. Oh, how wrong he is, oh how wrong. I started to hiss as he came closer with the comb.

"Come on little fella, it won't be that bad. I' ll be gentle."

I was thinking of making this easy for you Zack, i really was but you just crossed a line. I have two X chromosomes and I'm deeply offended. Also Zack what you just said can be taken wrong in so many ways. Hehe, I still have my perverted mind.

I avoided his hands every time he made a grab for me with supreme ninja cat reflexes. Zack played dirty and grab my tail which caught me by surprise. He
held on to me while I scratch the him with my tiny paws, I think I got Zack's face once. That lasted about, 10 minutes before I finally was able to scampered out of the bathroom.

'Freedom!' I mewed as I made my way to the kitchen which seem a lot bigger from the ground.

I felt lighter now that all that dirt and grim were off me but now I was hunger. And with the sounds of a shower coming from the bathroom it was going to be awhile. I decide to explore around my new home starting with kitchen. Fridge, counter, small stove, chair, sink, wooden table. Wait, wooden table?

I started to rub my head against the table leg before I knew what I was doing. I think I'm subconsciously marking my territory but it feels good to rub against something. I place my paws against and the wood felt so good under my paws. I bet it would be even better if I stretched my claws on it-wait! No, no,no. Bad kitty bad kitty. You do not want to ruin Zack's furniture, even if is so tempting and feels so good to stretch my claws agai- no, no, no. I have self control damn it! I am still a person on the inside, a very very weak and tempted person... I jumped away from the table. Must get away from any stretchable objects, I must!

I did what any reasonable person would do, hid under the couch. Ok, not so reasonable but it works. So under the couch I began to ponder on my furry satiation. I am in pre-crisis core before anything really happened, I'm a cat or kitten and I'm now living with Zack. Wow this kind of sucks but still I have to find a way to stop everything from happening. Hmm, I have to get to Nibelheim somehow and destroy the books and files concerning Sephiroth and jenova project. Which will be a challenge itself because of the travel distance, getting past the monster that live in the mansion, ripping all the books and such with my claws. Maybe I can get Vincent to help me? Wait I don't think he speaks cat. Um, make sure genesis doesn't get hurt and find a cure. Which is a problem because I'm a cat. Maybe find Cloud, um is he even here in Migdar yet? Well, if all else fails find and kill Hojo somehow without becoming a science experiment in the process. I mean who would ever think of stoping a cute cuddly assassin? Wait, how many people are killed by domestic house cats anyways...hmm now this question will haunt me until I die. Fudge sticks.

"Kitty where did ya wonder off to?"

Seems Zack out of the shower and I'm not mad at him for combing the life out of me. However I haven't forgotten about the little fella comment so I'm not coming out of my new hiding spot.

"Maybe I shouldn't have left a stray alone in my apartment with out any supervision," muttered Zack sheepishly as he shuffled around his apartment trying to find me. I snorted but it came out as a sneeze, can cats sneeze? Ugh, never mind, so much dust under here. I think I inhaled a dust bunny, sneeze, damn it Zack clean under here sometime.

I heard some shuffling before I saw a pair of amused glowing eyes staring at me. Aerith was right, they were very pretty to look at. Zack was just a third class soldier so he didn't have a lot of mako in him yet but still. They had a faint green blue glow about them. Zack lean forward slightly as he grabbed me, hair still dripping wet. It was funny watching water drip off the gravity defining spikes as he stood up still holding me. He turned around before falling back into the couch holding me up towards the ceiling. It was a strangle feeling having your paws dangling in the air looking down at a half naked and wet Zach. Wait, half naked? I could feel some blood rush to my kitty cheeks, can cat even blush? Think innocent thoughts, um, rainbows, unicorns, look at those abs-no no, um, ponies, bunnies and cupcakes. Think non- Mary sue, ok now I'm all better, don't want to be all Mary-sue now do I. Ok, I am now no longer affected by your hotness Zack...ok maybe a little. He brings me closer until we were face to face. He has a band-aid on his cheek, did I do that? I suddenly feel all guilty inside, funny I thought I killed my conscience a long time ago. He looks all pouty too. What would a real cat do in this satiation?

I licked the tip of his nose and gave a soft mew. Zack gives a small laugh while shaking his head.

" Hey, that tickles"

I just tilt my head and meow cutely with big kitty cat eyes.

"You know, you still need a name. I can't keep calling you kitty cat forever now can I," says Zack offhandedly.

"How about fluffy", he suggests. All my guilt has disappeared.

I give a him a angry hiss and accompanied with a swiping motion from my paws. He laughs as he moves me away from his face.

" Or Rex, Rover, Lulu, Munchkins. No wait, I know, Mr. Cuddles-worth," he continues on jokingly as I continue to swipe at him.

" Hey, I'm just joking with you. No cat of mine going to be called cuddles- worth"

Angry meow.

He pouts for a second in thought before a big grin slowly appears on his face.

" I know! How about Sky?"

I tilt my head a the name. Sky? Hmm, that's not a girls name or a guys name also it's a pretty cool name . Zack adjusted me into one of his hands before using the other to point at my eyes.

" You know because of your eyes," said Zack before he lightly poke my forehead with his index finger. I shake head and Zack pulls his finger back before he continues.

" Their as big and blue like the sky. You also act like the sky sometimes too. Stormy and anger for a sec and the next happy and clear."

Well put Zack, well put. I give a soft meow before pawing at the accused finger.

" Well Sky it is then," declared Zack with the look of triumph on his face. He brings me down on his lap on my back. He starts to toying with with my paws when he let's go I paw at his hands playfully. He begins to scratch my belly which causes me to purr.

" Hey you, your all skin and bones. I think I still have some canned tuna stashed somewhere. I'll go buy some supplies after I train with Angeal tomorrow, okay?"

I gave a content meow before melting into the petting. Hmm, keep scratching Zack, just keep on scratching.

" Angeal! Awe man how could I forget about him. What am I going to do if he finds out about you, he'll be scolding at me for sure. I'm betting he'll even make me send you to the animal shelter!" Zack exclaimed to himself which caused him to stop petting me. His starting to frown. I meowed impatiently and pawed at his hands again.

He starts scratching my tummy once more. I keep purring in content which keeps getting louder. He starts to smile as he watches me twist on his lap.

Never mind, I have a funny feeling that everything going work out for the best, right Sky?"

He was answer by a loud purr.

Review please.
