AN: The idea for this chapter come from Fanfic Author TheElephantInThePrideParade. Their work is absolutely amazing. That's not an hyperbole, its a slightly biased true fact.
"Ami, we need to talk".
"How did you get in here?"
"You left a window open. There is something I need to tell you. What you need to know is-"
Venus clutched her chest and started groaning, and then Artemis burst out of her shirt covered in blood. Artemis landed on the floor and started squirming around, trying to get back on its feet
"Good", panted Artemis, "I was starting to get claustrophobic in there"
Venus winced in pain and grumbled, "Artemis is in my shirt"
"What?"
"He's been acting strange lately. After I fed him this morning he started licking things and rolling around. Then he burrowed into my shirt"
Ami gave Mina a quizzical look. Not long after that the braniac took out a note pad and started flipping through the pages.
"Catnip"
"What about it?"
"It's the reason Artemis has been acting so strange. Some one must have over loaded it with energy to prolong its effects."
"Why would some one do that?"
Artemis leapt back into mina's shirt through the whole in the front. The wide-eyed moon cat then cried out, "No one can take me from my bungalow!"
Ami tapped her fingers against the note pad.
"I think they must've been trying to cause some sort of distraction. The trouble is that we don't know their motives or what they're after"
"Hold on", said Mina, "You mentioned that they prolonged the effects of the catnip using energy. Why don't you use your computer to detect the energy and trace it back to its source."
Ami pulled out her mercury computer and started scanning Artemis. After that she put the energy readings into its scanner. "There, now we should be able to triangulate where the source is"
Ami looked up.
"Its right above our heads"
Loud bumping noises were heard and then a teal moon cat burst out of an air duct. They made a quick turn and started sprinting out the door.
"After that Pussy cat!", yelled Mina
"Mercury Crystal Power, Make Up!", called out Mercury.
"Shiver me biggles", added Artemis.
The teal target made its way down the hallway then executed a sharp turn. Mercury charged after it, Mina Leapt out of a window, and Artemis went for broke by tearing off Mina's shirt to use it as Parachute.
Mercury maneuvered her way behind the Cat, got into a kneeling position, and called out "Mercury Aqua Rhapsody".
At that very same moment Venus appeared in front of the cat and got ready to grab the blighter. Instead she was doused by Mercury's watery blast. Mina felt terrible. Victory was uncertain. It looked like the teal moon cat had won. Then, from up above Artemis dropped in to save the day.
"Dun-duh-Dun, Super Cat!"
Artemis landed on top of the teal moon cat and started mauling it. Fur and fluff flew as the two cats went at it. At the end of it all, standing atop the body of the loser, was the teal moon cat. Artemis was semi conscious on the floor muttering, "finish him", over and over and over.
"No more misses nice Mina", growled the still cold blonde. She marched forward and picked up the teal cat to punt it.
"Any last words?", asked Mina as she leered over the fuzzy menace.
"Meow"
"Smart guy huh, we'll see how smart you are by the time I-"
"Mina, its just a cat. You hate people who abuse animals, remember?"
"Oh, yeah. Well let's just grab it then. Also do you have a spare shirt?"
"Of course I do", answered Ami as she walked over and picked up the teal kitty. The two of them walked back inside and Mina grabbed a spare shirt.
"Let us never speak of us again"
"Yes", agreed Ami.
Mina looked at Ami, Ami looked at Mina, and they both realized they'd left Artemis outside. Also they noticed there was tall handsome Native American standing slightly behind the door way. His biker jacket and short hair made him look like a rebel.
"Hey, is this cat yours?"
" He's ours"
"I'm just asking because they look pretty banged up. Like some one beat them or something"
Mina tried to explain things, "The teal cat did it"
"Sure, sure", said Jacob.
The imposing Native American ducked as they walked into the room.
"I'm gonna have to ask you a few questions"
"If it's why I'm with a sailor scout without a shirt on then I assure you there's a perfectly normal non incriminating explanation"
Jacob raised an eyebrow.
"A mostly non incriminating explanation"
The werewolf sighed and put the cat down. He ducked underneath the doorway on his way out and started mumbling something about Imprinting. As he left the room Mina could have sworn she heard the words "Bella", "Catch 22", and "Pedo time Fuckery" used in a single sentence.
Mina looked at the extra large white shirt in her hands. Then she looked at the scratch marks on her chest, and Artemis, and the teal cat. Finally she looked at an very confused Mercury, and she started smiling. It must be Tuesday.
