This is the latest chapter of Cat Nip. And I also know where this story is heading.

Disclaimer: I don't own yugioh. And I have nothing witty to say about it today, so yeah.

As last I left you, Ally made a mess of things during breakfast and vowed to annoy Seto any way she can until he believes her. Kaiba had to return to his room to change into clean clothes, since what he was wearing now was covered in eggs and butter.

Mokuba stayed downstairs to help the maids clean up. But Seto knew it wasn't because his brother was a cute little boy with a big heart, it was because his brother was a cute little preteen who is starting to like girls. A lot. But as long as he remained respectable toward women, it was fine. Which made Kaiba wonder why only women applied to home at his home. Sure there was Roland and the other bodyguards, but when it came to the housemaids and butlers, there was only maids.

When Seto finally reached his room, he went inside and locked the door. And like his home office, he did it in vain.

Ally was still in the dinning room, watching Mokuba helping the maids. It made her want to puke. All the maids were cooing over how cute and sweet Mokuba was. Sure he had a smile that would put a bunny rabbit to shame, but come on! The maids were cheerfully picking up the platters with one hand and patting the younger Kaiba with the other. Mokuba was holding some plates, but at the same time, he was getting nervous and he was blushing like crazy.

"Boys" 
Thought Ally, jumping off the chair. Ally strutted down the hallway, and made her way up the stairs. "Note to self, kill Yunka for making everything ten times my size" She thought. All this jumping and running was making her knees ach. But she still managed to reach where she remembered where Kaibas' room was. Unfortunately, any doorknob is impossible for an animal to open. (Except for maybe a dog or two)

Hissing under her breath, Ally began to scratch the priceless oak door with her long retractable talons. "Note to self, thank Yunka for claws" Meanwhile on the other side of the door; Seto was fixing the last button on his shirt when he heard a noise.

Muttering cruses under his breath, he opened the door. Ally, seizing the opportunity, she zipped inside and instantly began to claw at the three thousand-dollar curtains that were hand made in Peru. Desperately trying to resist the urge to smash the cats' head in with his own foot, Kaiba instead snatched Ally up by the neck.

"Are you trying to make my life miserable?" He shook Ally as he asked the question, not expecting her to answer.

Ally made an attempt at it anyway. "Well duh I'm am trying to make your life miserable! Don't act like you don't remember what I said last night you jerk!"Of course all Kaiba heard was 'meow, meow, and meow.'

Already frustrated, Kaiba examined the scratched up door and the torn up curtains. They would easily be replaced, but that wasn't what Kaiba was worried about. "It was almost like 'Paprika' is targeting me" 
Kaiba thought to himself.

He lifted the cat to eye level. "And you still have those creepy eyes. I really hate cats." Muttered Kaiba. Ally hissed in response.

Just then, Mokuba ran in. "There you are Paprika! Its time for your bath!" Mokuba said in a singsong tone of voice.

"Bath? Oh no, Hell NO!" Cried Ally, as she somehow escaped Kaibas' grasp. Of course, all the Kaiba's heard was 'Hiss, Meow, Hiss'

Mokuba, do you have any idea what this thing did to me so far?" Kaiba asked Mokuba.

"Um, fill your heart with utter joy and happiness?" Mokuba asked sweetly.

"No. Your pet has ruined one of my best shirts, turned my door to its personal scratching post, and torn a hole in my curtains. That was all in just one hour. No, not even thirty minutes"

Mokuba put on his best chibi eyes. "Oh please Seto, this is the first time I've seen her act like this! Don't send her away; I was going to clip her nails after her bath."

He pleaded. Ally hissed loud enough for both boys to hear her. "Big brother, I think Paprika can understand what we are saying"

"Don't be ridiculous Mokuba, animals don't even know the difference between left and right." Kaiba said. Ally did a combo of a hiss and yowl. Ignoring her, Kaiba rushed his little brother out of the room. Ally followed them from a safe distance. Suddenly, a loud ringing sound filled the hallway. Ally's first thought was that someone was attacking the mansion, but then she realized it was just the doorbell.

"I'll get it!" Mokuba cried cheerfully. He ran down the marble stairs at lighting speed, and made a dramatic leap for the front door. Unfortunately, he miscalculated the distance and the small boy fell flat on his face two feet from the door. But seeing how this wasn't the first time, Mokuba recovered quickly and got up to open the door like a sane person.

Seto wanted to release the guard dogs when he saw who it was. It was Yugi Moto and Katsuya Jonouchi. Oh joy. 
 "What you doing here?" Asked Kaiba in his usual cold manner.

"Don't' you remember Kaiba? Mokuba invited us over to help him with his cat." Yugi said in his usual polite tone.

Kaiba stared at his brother. "He never told me that." He said. Mokuba sweat dropped in embarrassment.

"Sorry Seto, it must have slipped my mind"

"Well lets not just stand here, where is papa-mea"
Asked Joey.

"Paprika." Mokuba corrected.

"That's what I said!" Joey boasted.

Ally was still behind Kaiba hearing all this. "Hum, it seems that Mr.Kaiba doesn't like his guests. I can use this to my advantage." Ally thought to herself. And with that, she bounded onto Kaibas' shoulder. 
Kaiba was too surprised to react, giving time for the others to notice the unusual scene.

And since Joey is unable to resist any opportunity to make fun of Kaiba, made his own day oh so much more memorable. 
 "Heh Heh, it looks like Moneybags gots a little buddy!" Taunted Joey.

Kaiba scowled and threw Ally at Joeys Face. Surprised, Ally instinctually brought out her claws to cling onto anything to keep from falling. Unfortunately, that 'anything' happened to be Joeys' face. Kaiba went back upstairs, totally ignoring Joey's screams and the cats' yowling.

Five minutes later, Ally was struggling against a tight blue lease that was tied to a table leg, Joey's face was fill with long scratches and Band-Aids, and Mokuba was bringing some soda for everyone.

"Sorry Joey, Paprika doesn't like to be thrown." Said Mokuba.

"I noticed." Grumbled Joey.

Yugi opened his backpack to reveal a shinny red plastic tub, pet shampoo, and a couple of ponchos.

Mokubas eyes widen. "Are we going to get wet?" Asked Mokuba.

Yugi nodded. "Yes, next to finding if porcupines are ticklish, washing a cat is one the most difficult and sometimes painful jobs in the world." He said this sourly.

"Uh Yug'? Since when do you tickle porcupines?" Asked Joey.

"You don't want to know"

Meanwhile, Ally was frantically clawing and chewing at the lease, desperate to get free. Now it wasn't like Ally didn't enjoy bathes, she used to take them everyday. But now that she was a cat, the slightest drop of water on her fur made chills go up her spine. Extreme aqua phobia if you will.

Yugi took the other side of the lease and held it in a way so Ally couldn't scratch him. And just like that, the three boys (And one cat girl) were outside. The boys were already dressed in their ponchos and Joey filled the tub with very cold hose water. And if you didn't already know, hose water is the coldest, nastiest water in the world. Even from a billionaire's backyard, hose water taste and felt the same.

Ally was tied up to a tree, and was instantly dunked into the water. She yowled and scratched for her life. I would tell you what she was thinking, but I'm afraid I can't spell half the curse words she is trying to scream at the top of her kitty lungs. The ordeal was over within seconds, and Ally was left dripping wet, cursing like a sailor. Now, Mokuba, Joey and Yugi were all left soaking wet and was covered with scratches.

"Hey Yugi?" Said Mokuba.

"Yeah?" Asked Yugi.

"That didn't go as well as I thought it would."

"I know Mokuba."
