Chapter 4: Hectic Day

Sakura walked into the pet store with Kakashi still cradled in her arms. She started walking the aisles up and down slowly.

Kakashi was truly enjoying himself. Sakura was a very warm and comfortable person.

"Cat stuff, cat stuff. Ah, here it is!" Sakura said excitedly.

She grabbed a cat pan and kitty litter. She placed Kakashi into the cat pan along with the kitty litter and walked to the cat food aisle.

Kakashi never felt so humiliated in all his life. He was sitting in a cat pan. Nothing could be more degrading than that.

There were so many different types of cat food on the selves Sakura didn't know what to get.

Luckily Sakura noticed there was another person in the aisle.

The woman was petite and had her hair in an untidy bun the color of her hair was brown with many gray strands.

Sakura walked over to the woman, "Excuse me I was just wondering if you could recommend me some cat food. You see I have this new cat and I don't know what to give him."

"Certainly!" the woman replied smiling up at Sakura with her blue eyes shining.

Kakashi looked at her and was surprised to see that it was the same woman from the grocery store he had been at last night.

Then he suddenly realized she was the last person he had seen before he was changed into a cat and he remembered her muttering something.

He started hissing at the woman with the hairs on his back raising stiffly in the air.

"You, it was you! I'm gonna kill you. Change me back! I'll claw you to death now change me back!" Kakashi was shouting even though it was coming out as violent hissing. He was trying to claw at her.

To Sakura and the woman it seemed very strange.

"Oh, I hope he isn't sick!" the woman cried.

"Sick my ass you bitch this all your fault!" Kakashi was growling and hissing. His back was arched up in warning daring her to get closer so he could scratch her throat out.

Sakura brought chakra to her hand and gently touched the cat and uttered the word sleep while juggling the cat-pan with her other arm.

Kakashi felt his eyes get droopy as he dropped off into sleep.

"I'm so sorry about this." She told the woman next to her.

"You should really take that cat to a vet." The woman told her.

"Yeah, I think I should do that." Sakura said. "Anyway which one is a good cat food?"

The woman pointed to a can, "That one is popular; my cat normally eats that stuff."

"Thank you for your help."

She grabbed the small can of cat food off the shelf as she neared the cash register she realized she needed to get a collar.

Sakura purchased everything at the counter and stuffed the change and receipt in her pocket. She was going to make sure Kakashi paid her back for this.

She walked to her apartment and opened the door. She put the sleeping cat on her bed and put the black collar on him that she had purchased. Then she then proceeded to set up the cat pan in the bathroom next to the toilet.

Kakashi woke up. "How the hell did I get here? Where's that woman?" he thought drowsily, "What the hell, when did she put a collar around my neck?"

He saw an open door straight in front of him. Sakura was pouring kitty litter into the cat-pan.

Kakashi got up and walked towards her and then he sat at the door entrance staring at her.

She truly was pretty. She looked up as she finished and smiled at him. Kakashi couldn't stop looking at her. It seemed as though she was glowing with radiance.

Then his stomach started growling. "Food!" it came out Meow.

"You must be hungry right now, huh Kurama." She said.

Kakashi looked at her as though to say 'DUH!'

Sakura walked out of the room and Kakashi followed her.

Kakashi never really noticed it before but Sakura had a nice pair of legs. He quickly looked at the floor ashamed at his sudden perverted thought process.

She grabbed a bowl from the cupboard. She opened the can of cat food she had purchased and put it in the bowl. "Here you go!" she said smiling at him as she put the bowl on her tiled floor of her kitchen.

Kakashi looked at it, "You can't be serious are you trying to kill me?" he sniffed at the brown glob sitting in the carefully. Then he looked back at Sakura.

Sakura looked at him saying, "Don't tell me you're a picky eater." Then she looked away and said, "If Kakashi-sensei gives you other things to eat you're going to have to wait till I make dinner and you'll be starving by then."

He started to eat it didn't taste too bad. Sakura smiled down at him.

Sakura pulled out a power bar from her cabinet and munched on that. She finished it quickly and looked down at the cat as he was eating his food.

As soon as he finished Sakura scratched his lovingly and gave him a huge smile.

"Okay Kurama! Time to go to the vet!" Sakura told him.

"WHAT!" translated mew.

At the vet...

Kakashi didn't realize how scary dogs could be until now.

They were huge and loud and annoying. There barking was hurting his ears.

"Miss Sakura, the veterinarian will see you now." A purple haired receptionist told her.

She walked in with a startled Kakashi in her arms.

Sakura placed Kakashi on the cold metal table top that was in the center of the room. "Don't worry Kurama," she said trying to sooth his worries while patting his head and smiling, "It'll be all over soon."

How did Sakura do it? Kakashi had been panicked as soon as she said vet. Then she started to scratch or pat him and his panic seemed to dissipate. Then it was back in the waiting room and now it was gone again.

There were two doors in the place there was the one they entered and another on the opposite side.

In walked a very good looking male veterinarian from the opposite door. This man was about the same build as Kakashi but with black hair that came to his shoulders and dark eyes. Sakura was normally a sucker for these types. "Hello," he said while not looking up from a chart he was currently holding in his hands, "I'm Dr. Yamui."

"Hello." Sakura said in a brisk way not looking at him.

"So what seems to be the…" Dr. Yamui just happened to look up from his paper work at that moment.

Kakashi automatically didn't like him or the way he was staring at Sakura. He hissed at the man in human language it was more of a 'Back off and keep your eyes to yourself pal!'

"Oh, I would just like you take a look at him for a routine check up that's all." Sakura said.

Kakashi didn't like the way this Dr. Yamui was slowly examining Sakura.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Dr. Yamui asked.

"Just want you to check and see if he's normal."

"All Right then. I'll get started."

Dr. Yamui was touching Kakashi and he felt so violated. "This is a lovely male cat that you have." He said while poking and prodding him.

"Thank you." Sakura said not really caring.

"So then did you want me to neuter the cat for you? They do tend to get quite annoying when they go into heat." He said suddenly.

Kakashi's eyes widened.

"Please Sakura don't take away my man hood. If you do I'll hunt you down for the rest of my days!" this translated from his mouth a groan like mow.

"Well…" she tapped her chin and looked up in thought.

"SAKURA!" Kakashi moaned louder in his cat speech.

"Um I don't think so. That's really not that necessary. Besides I'm taking care of him for now until his owner returns." Sakura replied.

"Thank you! I love you Sakura!" Kakashi thought.

"That is so nice of you to take care of him. Anyway," Dr. Yamui continued, "he looks perfectly healthy." He then held Kakashi's head and began to pry his mouth open, "Let's have a look see shall we."

Kakashi was pissed.

"So," Dr. Yamui looked towards Sakura giving her a winning smile while Kakashi's eyes narrowed as he began to put a finger in his mouth, "Is it Miss Haruno or Mrs.?"

Kakashi knew where this was going and he didn't like it one bit.

"It's Miss." Sakura said looking at Kakashi when she realized what should it matter if she's Miss or Mrs., "Why?"

"Well you see…" Kakashi decided to put an end to this right here and now. He promptly bit down as hard as he could on the finger that was probing the inside of his mouth.

"YOU DAMN CAT!" Dr. Yamui shouted. He tried to swing at Kakashi. Kakashi closed his eyes waited for the strike.

Sakura grabbed Dr. Yamui's arm and punched him slamming him into the wall.

Kakashi heard a thud and something sliding on the wall and hitting the floor. He felt himself being picked up by Sakura and then he opened his eyes.

The said Dr. Yamui was unconscious on the floor. Kakashi stared at him in disbelief at what Sakura had done.

"I don't like violence! Especially towards animals!" she huffed. She opened the door to the office and walked out.

As she came to the reception desk she told the woman sitting behind the desk and smiled at her brightly, "For some reason Dr. Yamui decided not to charge me for this visit. I just wanted to let you know."

Sakura walked out of the building and into the street. She started walking home at a brisk pace as the sun was starting to set.

Kakashi was surprised with Sakura. Somehow he had managed to teach her how to skip out on a bill without even knowing how.

When they finally got to her apartment she slammed the door and walked into the bedroom. She placed Kakashi on her bed.

"Can you believe that guy Kurama?" Sakura huffed talking to Kakashi in outrage.

Kakashi looked directly at her. She was pacing her room back and forth.

"I can't believe he tried to hit you. I think he was hitting on me too." She was in absolute outrage at the thought.

"Really what was your first clue?" Kakashi thought.

"What a bastard. I mean I already like…" Sakura stopped what she was saying and sat down on the bed and sighed heavily.

Kakashi could understand her outrage but that last sentence that came out of her mouth had him wondering who it was she liked.

Please keep reviewing!
