Several tiny gulps echoed around the quiet bathroom as Sakura advanced on the hapless kitties, "Come on," she said, scooping them all up, "Its just a little water."

"NO! Bathing with other people is against my releigion!" Hidan squealed as the tub came ever closer.

"I'd say just bathing in general is against it." Kakuzu, who was closest to the silver kitten, said, "phew, what have you been doing? You reek!"

"At least I don't fall for traps a 5-year old could have avoided!"

"Rocks and logs may bite like dogs, but words will never hurt me!" The dark cat sang mockingly, "I may not be the smartest kit, but unlike you I don't smell like-"

Before he could finish, all seven little cats were plunged into the watery depths. Kisame, being the lagest, simply stood up, the water only a little above his furred chest. Tobi, however, mewed and floundered clawing at the water until Sakura put him on the shallow end.

"Its not so bad, yeah." Dedara said, splashing the surface with his paw, "It could be-"

"NO!"

"Don't say it!"

"Worse, yeah?"

Several groans were heard, "Why did you have to say that, you blond twit?"

Deidara opened his mouth but stopped when a shadow fell over them, "You first, ya little rascal!"

Zetsu was nabbed from the water and set on the shallow end with Tobi, "Why me?" the dark side whined, looking up at the pink haired girl.

But Sakura paid him no heed as she poured a generous glob of shampoo onto her hands and rubbed it to a lathers, "You guys are going to smell like a field of flowers when I'm done with you!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had taken Sakura a full ten minuets just to get Zetsu all lathered and such. He glared up at her with such malice in his yellow eyes she had almost lost her nerve. But then she remembered they were just kittens and, with a loud "SHANNARO!", she had continued her task.

If only it had been that easy…

While the Acatsuki were reluctant to bite or scratch, they still put up a mighty struggle. Even Tobi didn't want to smell like a daisy. Kakuzu was constantly trying to scale the walls of the tub, Hidan and Deidara yowled loudly, Itachi sat in a corner, eyes bright red, spitting hissed curses, and Kisame thrashed so much that half the water in the tub ended up on Sakura.

In the end, seven sopping wet kittens and one soaked Haruno Sakura stodd glaring at each other. It was quite the comical sight. Looking like angry, multi colored drowned rats, the Acatsuki simply sniffed and sneezed, trying to maintain some small scrap of dignity. Tobi's face-fur had become messed up so that now his orange swirl seemed oddly lopsided. Hidan had a kind of cow-lick on his head and Itachi was shivering with fury and cold.

"Oh stop it!" Sakura snapped, picking them up one at a time in small, warm towels, "You should be greatful! And just look what you did to me! I should throw you all to Akumaru!"

For the first time, the S-class crooks actually got a good look at their care taker. Her clothes were soaked through and clinging like a second skin to her lean frame. Again the kittens swallowed hard but this time for a completely different reason.

"I don't think she's wearing a bra…yeah…" Deidara said, mouth hanging open, "I want to be a person again…stupid Leader, yeah!"

"If you were a person, she wouldn't have given you a bath in the first place." Itachi said, always the voice of reason, "well…maybe since she's a nurse…I guess if one of us was hurt…" yes, always the voice of reson…

"Man this sucks!" Hidan whined, "When these Konoha ninja's get hurt they get sponge baths from pretty nurses!"

"And when we get hurt," Kisame continued miserably, "we get Kakuzu patching us up with his icky sticky black tendrils."

"And he never uses anesthetics!" Tobi complained with a shudder, "like that time I ripped a huge hole in my side and he sewed me up with a sharp bone and some yarn!"

"Medics are expensive!" Kakuzu snapped, "And they used to use bones as needles any ways!"

"Why you cheap, stingy, sonuva-"

Ding Dong!

"Oh well this is just great," Sakura sighed, grabbing a large towel, "Shika is here and I'm all wet." She stood, wrapped the towel around her hair and walked out.

Shaking out their wet fur, the kittens eagerly fallowed.

Darkkinkachu: Eh…I wish this were better…or at least longer. But its spring break and I have other things to do –shifty eyes and wicked grin- hee hee hee…this should have about three more chapters before it ends if you were wondering so…yeah. I was thinking about a Sasori Kitten the other day and then I think some one mentioned to me and I was like 'Hm...Now I really wish I could put Sasori Danna in this..." he would be a creepy little red kitten with glassy green eyes XP I think he wouls look like a stuffed animal. As always, reviews and suggestions are welcome!

P.S. Ebil Phonix if you peck me I'll kick you're tail feathers XD
