Sakura walked over to the box as Sushi hopped in it. She peeked over the top of it to find yet anouther kitten. Only, this one was different. It was a jet-black color with silky, smooth fur. He was the smallest out of the litter but looked like he could hold his own. But that wasn't what worried her.
He was bleeding.
As Sakura looked more closely, she was shocked. His side had a gash running up from his hip to right under his bent arm. The fur all around it was mattered and crusted with some dried blood. His eyes were tightly shut and a slightly pained expression was on his face. Sushi was worringly sniffing him and slightly pushing him. He meowed softly and that was all that it took to make Sakura's heart crack and shatter to pieces. The little kitten slowly opened his eyes at looked over at the blue one. His eyes were a deep black color slightly hazed with pain. The other kittens just started looking at the black one, worry etched on their faces. Sakura then decided that it was to painful of a sight to see a kitten like that.
"Hang in there, I'm going to help you ok?" She said softly to the kitten. He looked at her, first alarmingly as if he didn't know she was there, then relaxed a little.
Sakura got up and walked over to her medic nin bag and grabbed out the items that she needed. She hurried back over and, slowly, lifted the kitten out of the box. He yelped at the sudden moment while the others tensed up. She gently set him down on a white cloth on the floor and started to work. She got out a bottle of rubbing alcohol and some clothes and slowly started cleaning the wound. He hissed at the pressure, but then fell silent. Half an hour passed and she was finally done cleaning and stitching up the wound. 'So much blood for such a little thing' she thought. As soon as the kitten got up he was surrounded by the others. They went strait away to worring about him and helping him, and in one case, even glomping him. Until Sakura realized,
"OMG, I forgot! You still need a name!" she said. She pondered on it for a while until, "I know! I'll name you, Shadow!" she said cheerfully. He glanced at her then warily made his way over to where the others were sitting and lied down. The others soon followed suit.
"Oh no you don't, you guys aren't falling asleep without a proper bath! You guys stink!" They all glared at her. 'Huh, we stink? Take a good whiff of yourself pinky.' Reeses thought.
Sakura picked them up in her arms, avoiding Shadow's wound, and went into the bathroom. she turned the water on to wrm. She didn't want to freeze the kittens, but she definatly didn't want to boil them. While she sat down and let the kittens go in the bathroom, she started to wonder. 'How could anyone do that to a poor kitten?' She thought, 'Was their previous owners cat abusers? Did they get a kick out of cutting up cats? And who dyes their own pets! I mean, if I were ever going to dye a kitten, I would at least dye it a different color than blue or half black and white!' She reached over and turned the water off and got out 11 towels. She then decided that not only was her stomach cursing her for hunger, she was pretty sleep-deprived herself. So she just scopped all of the kittens up in one armfull and tossed them into the tub. There was a lot of 'poofing' noises and then the bathroom was filled with smoke. Sakura started coughing, 'What the hell?' she thought. The smoke soon cleared and Sakura's mouth just about dropped. For in front of her, in her bath tub, was all eleven members of the Akatsuki!
