Chapter 9
Last chapter Kitten woke up in the infirmary, nurse medusa gave her a checkup. Then Stein came in saying she doesn't know enough about Kitten to do a thorough check-up. Thus he did his own, now Kitten can't fight for a while, no sparing or training. Let's see how that turns out. Now ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!
"Hey Kitten, heads up!" BlackStar shouted, Kitten jumped as a basketball just missed her.
"You're supposed to catch it Kitten." Soul said, Kitten stared wide eyed.
"Sorry I didn't know what you were throwing at me." She said, picking up the basketball.
"So how'd your check up go with Professor Stein?" Kidd asked, Kitten stuck her tongue out.
"Sucks, I'm not allowed to take part in missions for a while." She said, "So Miko and I won't be doing much."
"Hey kitten just what is your condition anyway?" Maka asked.
"Oh nothing to worry about, nothing life threatening or anything." Kitten said smiling. Miko huffed.
"Not your life anyway." He mumbled.
"Miko, hush." Kitten said, swatting at his nose.
"I see, can you still play basketball though?" Kidd asked, Kitten shrugged.
"Dunno…never played it." She confessed.
"Then you should be fine, Maka sucks at the game." Soul said.
"Hey, Soul that was rude!" Maka complained, Soul laughed. Kitten shrugged.
"I don't know if I should, what do you think Miko?" she asked.
"I say do it, it's not training or anything like that. Should be fine." Miko said, Kitten smiled and tossed the ball back at BlackStar.
"Alright then! Kitten and Maka you'll be team captains!" BlackStar shouted.
"What? But I don't even know how to play." Kitten said.
"Not every day BlackStar lets someone else take the spot light." Soul said, BlackStar grinned.
"That's ok, I'll still be the star!" he shouted.
"Don't worry Kitten, I don't really know how to play either." Maka said, Kitten smiled a bit. Then the teams were picked; Kidd, Patty, and Liz were on Kitten's team, while; Soul, Tsubaki, and BlackStar were on Maka's.
Once picked they began playing, Kitten caught on quickly and was soon easily playing against BlackStar, scoring just enough points to make it a tie game.
"C'mon Miko-boy, play with us!" Kitten shouted. Miko lifted his head from where he was laying.
"Yeah as much as I'd love to play this strange human game; I have no thumbs." He said sarcastically. Kitten puffed out her cheeks.
"Fine don't play then, stick in the mud." She huffed.
"Shut up." Miko grunted laying back down, Kitten laughed then looked back at the others who were breathless.
"You guys are tired already?" she asked.
"We've been at this all day." Kidd said.
"Yeah why don't we play some more some other time." Liz said, Kitten smirked.
"Ok." She said, BlackStar and the others—who were also breathless—smiled too, amused at Kitten's energy.
"We'll play again when we have some more free time, and when you're better to take on missions with us." Soul said.
"Yeah, we have to play again, you're almost as good as me." BlackStar said Kitten grinned.
"My aren't you the charmer." She said.
Soon after Soul, Maka, BlackStar, and Tsubaki left; Kidd, Liz, Patty, Kitten, and Miko were on their way home. It was quiet for most of the walk then Kidd spoke;
"Oh Kitten, while you were with Stein, Patty and Liz found you a sleeping outfit." He said, Kitten put her hands behind her head.
"Cools." She said, "Thanks, and again sorry about this morning."
"It's ok, I didn't see anything anyway." Kidd said, Miko snorted.
"Liar, you were peeking between your fingers." He said laughing. Kidd's face turned red.
"Hey dog, leave Kidd alone; he's not like that." Liz said, Miko grinned.
"Ha, sure he's not. He's a sixteen-year-old boy; of course he's like that, all men are. Nothin' to be ashamed of. Hell I'm a dog and I like to look at women." He said, Kitten said nothing only grabbed him by the ear as she blushed.
"Bad dog Miko." She mumbled, Miko yelped.
"A-anyway, I also went out and bought you an alarm clock." Kidd went on, "It should help you wake up on time."
"Ok." Kitten said smiling, as the five walked down the street to Kidd's house.

"So did you plant the spell like I asked?" Medusa asked, Free and Crona nodded.
"What's so special about this girl anyway; you've gone to a lot of trouble just to cast a spell on some kid." Free said.
"She's really strong, she nearly beat Crona and me." Ragnarock said.
"Not surprising; Kitten Blackbone has raw power lying dormant inside her." Medusa said. "Several years ago, Kitten nearly destroyed Lord Death himself with this power. Unfortunately he managed to seal it away, now it lays dormant until someone awakens it."

The next morning Kitten didn't wake up to her alarm clock. Kidd was once again forced to wake her up.
"Kitten we're going to be late again." He said, they were already late as it was; Kidd had rearranged half the furniture before deciding everything was symmetrical. Kitten rolled over glaring at Kidd as most of her face was covered by the blanket.
"I'm not goin." She growled, then rolled over. Kidd gave her a puzzled look.
"Kitten?"
"I friggin hate mornings and I'm not wakin up yet. Get lost." She said. Miko's ears perked.
"Don't mind her; she's just grumpy; go I'll get her up." He said, Kidd nodded shutting the door behind him.
"Kitty seems grumpy." Patty said.
"I have to agree; she seemed a bit less than happy to see you." Liz said. Kidd shrugged.
"Rough night maybe; she had been arguing late last night with who I would assume to be Miko." He said and just left it up to lack of sleep.
A while later, Miko had managed to get Kitten up and awake; she was back to her more brighter moods until after school, when someone had challenged her and Miko to a fight.
"Alright punk you wanna go; Miko n I will wipe the floor with you two." She hissed. Miko growled.
"Kitten calm down; we aren't supposed to be fighting." He said.
"I don't care I'm sick of these guys not takin' us seriously; besides what's Stein gonna do huh? I could beat him in my sleep." Kitten said, "You're my weapon I don't need to hear any lip from you mutt face."
"Is Kitten feeling ok?" Tsubaki asked, "She seems a bit vulgar."
"She's been like this all morning. Her mood is flipping like crazy." Kidd said. "I'm a little worried; maybe taking her out of the country side wasn't a good idea."
"Miko transform now. I'm gonna show him what the Kishen Hunter can really do." Kitten said. Miko shook his head. Kitten growled. "I said transform; or do I need to teach you who's boss around here?"
Miko growled; biting kitten on the hand. She yelped and her bad mood seemed to fade away.
"Kitten are you ok? Miko why'd you bite her?" Maka asked coming up to Kitten and Miko. Kitten turned smiling again.
"Oh I'm fine; Miko does that when I go off the handle like that. Ahehehe!" she said nervously. Miko huffed.
"Are you feeling ok Kitten? You've been acting kind of strange lately." Blackstar said. Kitten nodded.
"Oh yea totally; hey could you excuse us for a second?" Kitten asked, then ran off with Miko down the hall.
"Miko what's going on?" Kitten asked, looking at the pendent, "The seal's no more broken that last time The doctor say it; why am I flipping like this?"
"I don't know; but hasn't been too bad; it's not like you killed anyone yet. We should still be pretty safe." Miko said.
"I dunno maybe we should tell Doctor Stein?" Kitten suggested.
"Kitten if we do that; they'll put you under all that pressure like last time; do you really want to go through that over nothing?" Miko barked. Kitten shook her head.
"The doctor said we just had to take it easy; we don't need to go reporting on every little thing alright?" Miko asked. Kitten nodded, and the two left to go catch up with the others.
Whoo! What's goin on with Kitten? She's flippin out! We'll find out more later I suppose wont we? Haha anyhow review please.
