Curse of the Kitten Chapter 2
Wai! Here's the next chapter. I really have no idea how long this fic is going to be. It could possibly only be two chapters. Anywho, I hope you liked the first one and I really hope you'll like this one. Ja!

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" Hitomi and Van screamed in unison. Millerna just giggled and wrapped her hand around both their bodies. Hitomi and Van exchanged glances, opened their mouths as wide as they could go and clamped their mouths shut as hard as they could on Millerna's hand.
"ITAI!!" She screamed and dropped all the kitties in surprise. Hitomi and Van landed on their feet gracefully, but Allen fell to the floor on the back of his head with a soft 'Thud'. He groaned and rubbed his head, little swirlies in his eyes.
"Common! While there's still time!" Van shouted, taking off into an all out kitty-sprint down the hallway, Hitomi by his side and Allen coming up behind them slowly.
Millerna growled and stood up, rubbing her abused hand. "I'll get you kitties! And your little dog too!" she cackled.
Allen skidded to a stop "DOG!? WHERE'S A DOG!?" Allen cried as he panicked. He whipped his head around in all directions searching frantically for a dog. Van stopped and shook his head at Allen.
"Moron. It's a line from a movie, there isn't any dog."
"How do you know that!?" Allen started to breath heavily. He ran around in little circles and started clawing at the air "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!"
Hitomi sauntered up to Allen and pawed him across the face "There is NO dog!"
Allen stood still for a couple of seconds, staring at Hitomi. "Wait…you might be right, Hitomi. We ARE all gonna die!!" Allen screamed and started running around in circles again.
"That's NOT what I said!" Hitomi scoffed and shook her head.
"Just forget about him. We'll come back and pick him up when he's sane." Van grabbed Hitomi's paw and ran down the hallway, dragging Hitomi along with him.
~***~
Van finally stopped when he slid under his bedroom door. He slid down and sat against the wall, panting.
"She can't…get in here. It's…l-locked."
Hitomi let out a breath of relief and sat next to Van. "So, what do we do now?"
"Make out."
Hitomi blinked and eyed Van. "Nani?"
"ERRR! I mean we make out what we're going to do next! Yes, a plan. That's what we need…" Van saw Hitomi settle back down and wiped some sweat off his forehead "Phew…"
"So what is the plan?"
"Umm…I'm working on it."
-BOOM-
Van and Hitomi both jumped up into the air and ran as far away from the door as they possibly could. When they didn't hear the noise again, Van peeked out of the sock drawer and looked around the room. "Someone must have just dumped into the door."
Hitomi fell out of the garbage can and looked around also "Yeah, no one seems to be trying to-"
-BOOM-
Van and Hitomi 'meeped' and returned to their previous hiding spots.
"Come out come out wherever you are!" Millerna sang through the door. "I have Allen, and if you don't come out I'll…make him watch Barney!"
"Will someone PLEASE kill me!?" Allen cried.
Hitomi and Van stayed in their hiding spots.
"Fine! I'll bust down the door…using Allen's head!"
"Good, maybe you'll smash my brains in and end my misery."
Hitomi and Van peeked out of their hiding places and looked at each other. Suddenly there was a bang at the door followed by a loud "ITAI!"
Hitomi and Van slid back into their refuges and there was another bang followed by "Your not doing It hard enough, damnit!"
Three more bangs.
"Oooo, lookit the purty stars…"
-BANG-
"Is that blood or am I seeing red?"
-BANG-
"Nope, it's blood."
-BANG-
"How come I'm not dead yet?"
-BANG-
"Hehehehehe, didn't even feel that one."
-!BANG!-
"Ouch…that one I felt…"
Hitomi and Van winced with every bang and every comment from Allen. With one last, loud, hard bang a crack appeared in the door. Millerna looked through the hole and laughed insanely.
"Heeeeerrrrrreeesss Millerna!"
"We are going to die…" Van commented from his place within the sock drawer. Millerna kicked the rest of the door down and stepped into the room.
"Well now, where are my two kawaii neko's?" Millerna walked around the room kicking things over and looking in drawers. She finally kneed the garbage can over, and Hitomi flew out landing sprawled on the floor. She 'meeped' and tried to run but Millerna stepped on her tail. "Well well well, what have we here?" Millerna bent down to pick Hitomi up when she heard a loud roar. She looked up and saw Van flying towards her face. She gasped and tried to duck but it was too late. Van latched himself onto her face and began to claw like mad. Millerna shrieked and tried to rip Van off her face. She ran around in circles, cursing and trying to find objects to pry Van off with. Hitomi got up off the floor and went to see Allen, who was lying on the smashed door twitching.
"Allen? Are you alright?"
Allen twitched again. A goofy grin spread across his face. "I…I think I hear the voice of an Angel. I died and I'm in heaven! YES!"
Hitomi sweatdropped and shook her head at Allen "Allen, it's just me, Hitomi. You're not dead and you're definitely not in heaven."
Allen was quiet for a few seconds before he cried out and turned his back to Hitomi. Hitomi sighed and looked up to see how Van was doing.
Millerna had gotten a hold of a letter opener and was trying to pry Van off her face with it. Van was clinging to her face like there was no tomorrow. Hitomi decided to help out a bit. She calmly trotted over to Millerna, moved a bit of her dress out of the way and started to chomp on her ankle viciously. Millerna screamed a muffled scream and kicked Hitomi into the wall. This just made Van ten times more pissed and he started to bite her forehead. Millerna had had enough of playing nice. She grabbed a lantern, lit it, took out the candle and put it close to Van's back.
"Get off me or I'll cook you!" Was Millerna's muffled threat. Van took one look at the candle and yelped, letting go of Millerna's face and falling to the floor. He scrambled up and took off. Millerna was fast, however, and she stepped on Van's tail before he could get far. Van slumped to the floor in defeat. Millerna scooped up Van, Allen and Hitomi and walked out of the room with a smug smirk on her face.
~***~
Van poked and prodded the bars on his cage with a miserable look on his face. He sighed and sat back down. "Damn, she's smart. She didn't leave anything for me to hang myself with…"
Allen shook his head "Yeah, guess there's no easy way out of this one."
Hitomi stopped gnawing on the bars and lay down on her tummy, rubbing her mouth. "Damnit, I can't chew through the bars. There is NO use in being a kitten…"
"I now agree with Allen. We are going to die."
Allen and Hitomi both nodded. Everyone gasped and crawled to the corners of their cages when they heard the doorknob turn. They clamped their eyes shut and awaited pure torture.
"Hey, guys!"
Everyone opened their eyes in bewilderment. That wasn't Millerna. That was…MERLE!
"Merle!!" Everyone exclaimed in unison. Merle put a finger to her lips and shushed them.
"Quiet! You want the Prom Queen to hear?"
"Merle, I've never been so happy to see you in my life. We've been through hell ;_;"
"Yeah I bet. Anyways, I got good news and bad news."
"Give us the bad news first, we're used to it…" Allen sulked.
"Actually, the good news has to come first or it wont make sense. Okay, the good news is that I got the lady to talk."
Everyone cheered.
"The bad news is, the antidote is in another country."
All the kitties jaws hit the bottom of their cages. Allen started to cry.
"What are we gonna do what are we gonna do what are we gonna do!?" Hitomi panicked.
"Is there anyone we can send there to get it? How far away is it?"
"Err…well…that's the REALLY bad news. The antidote was in…Fanalia…"
Allen fainted, Hitomi started crying, and Van began to bang his head on the bars of his cage.
"Yeah, I had a feeling you wouldn't take it very well…"
Van stopped banging and rubbed his head "Is there anywhere ELSE we can get it!?"
"Well, she did mention one other country, but it's really rare there."
"Just say it! We're desperate!" Hitomi pleaded through tears.
"Well, she said there was this one herb in Hamaken.(1)"
"Hamaken! I know where that is. It's only a 7 hour journey from here!" Van shouted with glee.
"Yeah, but she said it was found deep in the Hamaken forest. And everyone knows how dangerous that place is. It's CRAWLING with dragons. No one is going to go get it for you."
This time Hitomi fainted.
Van banged his head on the cage again. "We're doomed…"
"Well, there is an alternative."
Van perked up "What?? ANYTHING!!"
"There is another potion that is sold in a shop in Hamaken that will turn you into a creature like me!"
"Hmmm…is that the only other thing we can do?"
Merle nodded.
"Ugh, alright, go get that one. It beats the hell outta being a defenseless kitten."
Merle squeaked with delight and bounced out of the room. "I should be back in a day, if you guys can hold out that long."
"I wouldn't bet on it…" Van muttered as Merle shut the door to Millerna's room.
Or torture chamber, whichever you prefer.
