I woke up to quite a strange sight.

Lucy was next to me, as I remembered, but she was positively covered in cats. Boy had curled up between us, pressing into both of our sides. Legolas and Boromir sprawled across her legs. Bosco was on her stomach, practically on his back. Knight was on the floor next to him. Chairman Meow was curled up next to my head, his own head resting on my neck. Brutus was on the floor not too far away. Rinnegan and Iris were next to each other about five feet away from all of this, along with Brad. They were awake, and once more Rin's eyes were on me.

I blinked blearily an yawned hugely, arching my back as I stretched. The Chairman's eyes opened and he huffed before moving off of me, only to curl up next to my head rather than on it. I smirked at the sight.

I sat up and looked over at Lucy again. She was sprawled on her back, her mouth slightly open. I smirked and started moving cats off of her. Bosco didn't even wake up, so I pulled him up and set him on my own pillow. Legolas and Boromir looked annoyed, but didn't protest as I scooted them away, and they settled in my now vacant blankets. Boy had sat up and was watching me.

Now that the cats were safe, I stood up and climbed onto the couch. I jumped and landed on top of Lucy, making sure I landed mostly with my arms on the floor so I didn't hurt her. She yelled and pushed me off of her, laughing my ass off. Some of the cats looked amused, but most just looked irritated.

Lucy sat up, whining. I just laughed again and went into the kitchen to make breakfast. I only made toast for the both of us, and dropped a PopTart on Lucy when she sat at the table. She stuck her tongue out at me and I flipped her off.

I ate quickly, getting up to feed the cats. I dug around in the cabinet in the back of the small laundry area - it wasn't really big enough to be called a room - and found what I was looking for: the cat food left over from before my ex-roommate moved out and took her two cats with her. Thankfully it was almost full, so there was enough for all of them. Once They were lined up against the wall, each eating from a separate bowl, I walked back into the kitchen.

"Got anything to do today?" Lucy asked me.

I looked her in the eye. "I have to make vet appointments for all the little fuzzies, get them more food, you know, all that jazz." She rolled her eyes.

"You should probably give them baths, too. They're dirty." Her nose wrinkled and she picked up Boy, shoving him in my face to emphasize her point. I took the stupid animal from her.

"Alright, but you're helping me."

She grinned and followed me down the short hall to the bathroom. I had her gather all the towels I owned and started the water in the tub. Boy stood on the edge of the tub and watched the water come out with interest. I stopped the water and frowned. "Damn, I forgot the soap. Stay here Boy," I said, and pulled Lucy out of the room with me to help me look.

We ended up finding it under the kitchen sink, and she threw it at me. "Fight me, bitch," I all but yelled at her. She laughed.

"You'll kick my ass!"

"That's the point. I kick everyone's ass."

"Liar."

By now we had started walking back toward the bathroom. I raised an eyebrow at her, pausing in front of the door. "Okay, name one person who's ass I couldn't kick."

She narrowed her eyes at me and was silent for a while. "...Madara Uchiha." I laughed.

"Please, Madara's my bitch," I said as I opened the door, and my voice trailed off. The first thing I noticed was the water all over the floor. Then my eyes trailed up, and I just barely had the thought to hurl the bottle in my hand at the sight in front of me as I could before I pushed Lucy back out of the room, slamming the door behind me. I barely heard a faint sigh.

Lucy's arms were around my torso almost instantly, and she was speaking a mile a minute - nervous ranting, probably. I was too busy trying to process what had happened.

Boy had turned into a man. A naked man. A hot naked man. A hot, masked, naked man that I recognized.

"Come on," I growled and pried Lucy off of me, taking her hand and taking her back into the living room, where all the kitties were sitting around. I narrowed my eyes at them and placed my fists on my hips.

"So, are all of you anime characters, or is the ninja in my bathroom the exception?"

So uh... short chapter. :/ Barely two pages in Google. Well... I'm trying not to slack too much. It'll be pretty fast-moving in the beginning, but next chapter and the chapter after that will be more in-depth.
