No this story is still not over. Ha! I've got at least one more chapter left. It's just…this one scene wont write itself! Hopefully I can get it done soon…
'Cat speak. Translation for us stupid humans.'
I own nothing.
They Celebrate
The next month was bliss for Naruto and Harry. During the days Naruto went on missions, and Harry did cat like things, but at night Harry would change back into a human and smother Naruto with love, affection and his body.
Naruto was more than happy with this arrangement. Outside of their apartment he was genuinely happy and people were beginning to see it. Some thought he had indulged in an extra bowl of ramen lately and others thought that he had a beau locked away.
They had no idea how right they were...on both counts.
Hari's late night rendezvous with Kiba did not go unnoticed. Kiba had soon spread the word about Hari being able to talk and Konoha came to one conclusion. Hari was a cat summon.
It just made so much sense! That's why all those weird things happened around him! That's why he always protected Tora. The jinchuuriki must had found the lost cat summon contract one day. That had to be the reason why Hari tolerated the boy.
They were wrong of course, but Hari figured that this was better than the alternative.
Ninjas had come to Naruto and asked the perplexed boy if they could sign the cat summon contract also. Naruto would scratch his head awkwardly and deny any knowledge of the summon contract. Some left disgruntled that he had two summon contracts and others simply accepted that Naruto wasn't just going to hand over the cat contract.
Another rather interesting development of Hari being a summon were the gifts. Every three days a basket would be in front of their apartment door. The basket was always filled with three things: a bottle of milk, 2 cans of tuna and 3 bowls of Ichiraku's ramen.
Naruto had laughed himself sick when he realized that summon was paying homage to Hari The Cat Summon. Hari had stared at the baskets sullenly of course. Why did it always seem as if someone was worshipping him or trying to buy him off?!
Hari had of course gotten over his issue with the baskets. He rather liked tuna and milk was always a good thing. Obviously the bowls of ramen were for Naruto and Hari didn't want to get between Naruto and his ramen so he left those be as well.
Because of his acceptance of the baskets the genin teams learned one thing. Harry was mellower the day after getting receiving a gift basket. They eagerly took advantage of the fact. The retrieve Tora mission was no longer a voluntary mission for the genin. Now each team was given list that told them whose turn it was retrieve that damned cat. They had counted the days down with despair, but now hope was shining like a beacon! This basket thing could be their salvation! And it was...sorta. The genin teams didn't know when Tora would escape. They only knew when it was their turn next. So when they were next on the list they would leave a basket in front of Naruto's apartment every night until it was their turn.
Hari wouldn't be as vicious when it was capture Tora time, but it still wasn't easy for them. They would have fewer injuries, but the time to catch Tora would be extended at least another hour or two. Occasionally the genin would leave with polka dots on their skin or oddly colored hair, but it was better than a trip to the hospital.
Hari smirked at the genin with the pink striped hair. Today had been a very productive day. He had ambushed Naruto in the shower before his mission; he had eaten a nice breakfast of miso soup and tuna sushi (the genins got really creative with that last basket) and had terrorized the genins with prank spells.
Now he was bored and-
Wait was that Tora? Didn't they just capture her about five minutes ago?
Oh well. At least they could hang out for a few hours before the next genin team was called in.
'Meow. Hey Tora, wanna go to the watering hole?'
'Meow. Sure.'
-Time skip-
Hari lay sprawled on his tree branch. His tail swayed lazily in the air. Tora lay on the branch next to him.
'Meow. It's Naruto and I's one month anniversary.'
'Meow. So?'
'Meow. So, I need to give him a present.'
'Meow. Why?'
'Meow. It's just a thing that humans do.'
'Meow. That's weird.'
'Meow. Yeah but I still need to get him something.'
Tots flicked her tail in the direction of a skittering mouse. Hari shook his head.
Her tail pointed at a bird flying above. Hari shook his head.
Tora gave him an annoyed look and then pointed at something random.
Hari followed the direction of her tail and his eyes widened. Tora looked too and gasped a meow.
Tora's tail was pointing at a patch of catnip.
Hari and Tora sprang for it simultaneously.
Ecstatic meows rose from the clearing.
-20 minutes later-
A white and black blur zoomed around Konoha. Civilians gawked at the small blurs they were sure that the blurs just had to be ninjas! But they weren't ninjas oh no. They were something much far more sinister.
The two blurs were Tora and Hari hopped up on catnip.
Hari stopped running suddenly and Tora stopped right beside him. Their fur was disheveled and parts of it were stick straight up in the air. Their eyes gleamed and darted back and forth and they couldn't stop fidgeting.
'Meow Meow Meow Meow. Hey Tora.'
'Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow. Yes?'
'Meow. I know what I want to do for Naruto for our anniversary.'
'Meow Meow. Do tell.'
'Meow.'
Tora looked at him in surprise and then bounced up and down excitedly. This was going to be fun.
Hari and Tora flew through the city as they tracked down their pink haired prey. A few blocks away Sakura shuddered as the feeling of impending doom swept over her. Not long after that something crashed into her back knocking her down. She shrieked as she was mauled by two blurs. Thirty seconds later she was free and they were gone.
Sakura looked down at her outfit and screamed. Her standard black and pink outfit had been replaced with horrible shades of orange and red.
Hari eyed his work and nodded satisfactorily. This was exactly what Naruto had wanted. Back when Hari was still just a cat to Naruto the boy would talk about everything and nothing. He had some of the strangest opinions. One of them was that Sakura would benefit from some orange in her outfit. In actuality Sakura's hair clashed horribly with her new outfit, but in Hari's catnip mind it was perfect.
'Meow. Who's next?' Tora asked. Hari cocked his head in thought.
"I keep telling Tsunade-baachan that ramen is the bestest food ever, but she won't listen to me! I bet she would love ramen if it were sake-flavored. Ha! What if her sake was ramen flavored?!" Naruto laughed and scratched Hari behind his ears.
Hari smirked.
'Meow. The Hokage.'
5 minutes later the Hokage's secretary was standing on top of her desk and screaming. The front room had been filled with rats! It was actually two mice, but you she would later swear it was fifty rats.
Tora chased after the mice and the secretary encourage her. The secretary didn't notice the black green-eyed cat slipping into the Hokage's office.
Hari hopped onto the desk and searched for Tsunade's bottle of sake. Unsurprisingly there were already three bottles open and emptied and another bottle half full. He brushed up against the bottle and purred. He infused the sake with his magic and voila! Ramen flavored sake.
He hopped off the desk just as Tora finished catching the last mouse. The two escaped the Hokage's office.
Tsunade rolled her eyes at her girly secretary and entered her office. She sat down behind her desk with a long drawn out sigh. Those stupid council members were always causing trouble. She grabbed her bottle of sake and took a long swig of it. She put it down and licked her lips. Her eyebrows furrowed.
"Ramen? What the…" she took another drink, "hey this stuff isn't half bad. The flavors actually complement each other really well."
Her stomach grumbled. An idea popped in her mind.
"Hey Mizumi get in here!"
Her secretary scrambled into the office.
"Get me a cup of ramen. Actually make it two cups."
One hour later Shizune found Tsunade surrounded by eight cups of ramen and drunk off her rocker. Tsunade laid her head down on the desk and giggled.
"Using hot sake instead of water had to be the best idea I have ever had!"
Shizune would spend the next three weeks trying to cure Tsunade of her sake drenched ramen addiction. She wasn't very successful.
-With Tora and Hari-
"Have you ever been into the Hyuuga compound Hari? It's so hard to tell them all apart. They all look the same even their hair! It takes me ages just to find Neji-san or Hinata-chan!" Naruto wailed.
Hari grinned his evil Cheshire grin. He had come to the Hyuuga compound at just the right time. Every month the Hyuuga would gather together in the communal baths on their property. Somehow they managed to keep their holier than thou attitude while wearing a towel. Unfortunately, Hari was sure that attitude was ingrained in their very genes so he couldn't change that, but that's not what he was here for. Oh no, Hari had something else in mind for the Hyuuga. Something that would help Naruto with his little Hyuuga problem.
20 minutes later the Hyuuga compound was in chaos. Everyone who had been in the communal baths had their hair dyed.
It wasn't pink, or orange or even black. Oh no. every single Hyuuga had a different color of the rainbow! No one shade was the same!
The only Hyuuga that were spared was Hyuuga Neji and Hyuuga Hinata and that was because they were on a mission with the jinchuuriki brat today.
Just think! Nobody will know who the Hyuuga are anymore just by looking at them! The shame. The horror. The injustice of it all! Now each of them would have to develop their own personality and explore this thing called individualism. Dammit.
-With Naruto and Hari-
"Kakashi is such a pervert! All he does is look at his perverted books and giggle. He's even peeped with Jiraiya before I know it I caught them! I wonder what he would do if he couldn't see anything! Like if a hot girl goes by and bam! Instantly blind! Ha it would definitely be karma." Naruto giggled.
Hari sat on top of Kakashi thankful for the weightless charm. It had been easy for him to sneak into the copy nins house, but hey he was Hari. He could do anything!
He eyed the mask on the sleeping nin. He really wanted to see what was underneath it. Then he would fulfill Naruto's desire.
He cast a spell to put Kakashi into a deeper sleep and then he clawed the mask off. And then he clawed it off again and again and again.
'Bloody hell! How many masks does he have on?!' Hari spent the next ten minutes cutting off mask after mask after mask from the silver-haired jounins face. He glared down at the sleeping man.
'What the hell?!' his used his tail to scratch his ear as he thought. 'Hm…' he put his tail down and it brushed against Kakashi's mask. A jolt of something went through his tail. He pulled his tail back abruptly and then brushed the mask again. Another zing went up his tail.
Hari used his tail to inspect the silver-haired man's mask. He smacked himself in the face with his tail.
'It's got to be one of those seals Naruto was telling me about! Well…I'm no seal expert so I'm not going to remove it but…I can move it.'
Kakashi was sure he was in hell. This past week had been a miserable existence. Every time he looked down at his beloved book one of his masks would appear and cover his eyes! Every time he went to 'visit' Kurenai-chan his mask would cover his eyes! Every time he tried to peep at the beautiful women at the hot springs a mask would cover his eyes!
The only time he was permitted to look at a beautiful woman or his smut was when he was on a mission! Only then was he freed from his burden. How could his mask seal malfunction this way?! How could it betray him?!
Kakashi lay down in his bed and sobbed. He pulled his Icha Icha book to his chest and hugged it. He was absolutely sure that he would never be able to read it again.
Oh cruel world! He couldn't live this way!
Hari would remove the extra seal after Kakashi took his first suicide mission.
-With Hari and Tora-
"Ya know Lee isn't that bad looking. I'm not saying that I want him, but maybe if his eyebrows and hair was a bit…uh…trimmed he would be a catch. I think that's why Sakura-chan rejected him. His bushy brows were kind of scary. But he's got the muscle and he's like really nice I think he'd make a great boyfriend. Just gotta do something with those eyebrows…" Naruto trailed off and shuddered.
Two small figures crept in the shadows behind the green-spandex wearing boy. The exchanged looks once, unsheathed deadly looking claws and then attacked!
It was hard taking down Lee. His strength and speed was more than the two cats were used to, but they managed their task with the help of the catnip and occasional bursts of Harry's magic. Hair, claws and fur was the only thing that the surrounding people could see. Lee's face was completely covered.
Seconds later, although it seemed like an eternity to Lee, he was freed. Lee looked around wildly for the two cats and dislodged the excess hair from his face.
The crowd gasped.
Lee was hot!
Somehow Lee's hair had been regrown and it was back to the style he had when he had first joined team Gai. His eyebrows had been thinned a lot and arched just a bit. Somehow his eyes weren't as…pronounced as they were before, but they were still filled with such zest for life.
Three girls sighed and swayed.
Hari patted himself on the back with his tail as a job well done. He turned and nodded at Tora who was smoothing down her wild fur.
'Meow. Thanks for the help Tora. I'm sure Naruto will love this!'
'Meow. No problem. I think I see the next genin team now. I'll catch you another day.'
Hari nodded to the white cat and walked into the nearby shadows and came out of a shadow in Naruto's apartment. Sometimes it was good to have a shadow cat as an animagus form.
Hari changed back into his human form and lay on the bed. He yawned as he felt the catnip completely wear off. He curled into the sheets and fell asleep.
-BANG-
Harry yelped and fell out of the bed.
"Hari Hari guess what?!"
"Someone gave you sugar." Harry muttered into the floor. He pulled himself up and scowled. It seems like being an all-powerful wizard meant nothing if you had Naruto as a boyfriend.
Naruto bounced into the room.
"Someone dyed the Hyuugas' hair! And someone shut down that pervert Kakashi! And someone made Lee sexy and Tsunade overdosed on sake flavored ramen! I'm not sure where she got it from either. Heck! I wasn't even sure it was a real flavor! Oh oh and Sakura is wearing orange and red today! Orange is definitely her color!" he tackled Harry in excitement and they both fell to the floor.
"I could just kiss the person who did all of this!"
Well, Harry could definitely work with that.
He brought Naruto's head down to his and claimed those luscious lips with his. Naruto moaned in surprise and wiggled in Harry's lap. They separated five minutes later and Naruto grinned at him goofily.
"Was that 'cause I was talking too much?"
Harry chuckled and shook his head.
"No. You said that you could kiss the person who made all of that stuff happen today."
Naruto froze and looked at Harry with wide eyes.
"That was all you!"
Harry nodded. Naruto glomped him.
"Oh my gosh I have such a cool boyfriend!" the green-eyed boy blushed in surprise.
"So you liked it?"
"I loved it!"
The wizard relaxed.
"Good. Happy one month anniversary."
"It's our what?!"
Naruto squeaked in surprise when he found himself on his back. Irritated green eyes glared down at him.
"You forgot?!"
"I didn't know we were doing stuff like that! I don't even know the exact date we got together. Crap! I shouldn't have said that." Naruto cringed. Harry just shook his head and laid his forehead against Naruto's. Naruto met his eyes apologetically.
"I'm sorry Hari." Wide blue eyes were on full blast. Harry leaned back and shook his head and turned a hurt look on him.
"No Naruto that's just not enough... I don't think I can forgive you without make up sex."
Naruto burst out laughing before pulling his boyfriend down and nipping his lip slightly. He pulled back and grinned sexily.
"I guess I better start working on that apology now. Yeah?"
