Curse of the Kitty Chapter 4
Wooo, last chapter! I'm making this the last chapter because school is starting tomorrow, and you know what that means. Yeah, way less updates. I put a chapter on practically everyday. Better not get used to that treatment. My poor websites ;_; They're gonna be so abused. Anywho, onto the (hopefully) last chapter!
~***~
Breaking out into an all out sprint the kitties took off towards the forest. Hitomi looked back to see Millerna hot on their heals, swinging her butchers knife to and thro.
"RUN FASTER!!!" Allen screamed, panting. He remembered all the horrid things she did to him, and did just that. He ran even faster. Allen took up the lead and dashed straight into the forest, leaving a line of smoke where he went.
"Damn, he runs fast…" Van sped up also when Millerna took a swipe at him. "Eeek!!"
Hitomi skidded into the forest and jumped behind a bush. Allen ran right up a tree and Van jumped into the lake. Bad choice on Van's part.
"Ack! H-help *glub* c-can't…swim!!"
Hitomi popped her little kitty head through the bushes and looked at Van. "Why the hell did he jump into the lake? Everyone with half a brain knows cats hate water -_-." She sighed and jumped out of the bushes "Hang on Van!" She ran to go save him when a foot blocked her way. "What the- oh, no…"
Hitomi trailed her eyes up the body that was blocking her to see the owners face. "Meep…"
Millerna grinned and raised her Butchers Knife. "Got yah kitty."
Hitomi hissed and backed up, trying to look as intimidating as she could. Millerna laughed and bent down to pick her up.
Allen rested on a branch in the tree, trying to catch his breath. "I got away…finally…" He looked down and saw Hitomi cornered. "Just ignore. Ignore and you wont have to be a hero…"
"Help!"
"Stay still you stupid cat!"
"ITAI! You almost cut my tail off you psycho!"
"Well if you'd just sit still…"
"HELP!!!!"
Allen sighed and stood up on the branch. "I can't believe I'm doing this…Hang on Hitomi!" Allen took a deap breath and dove off the branch right onto Millerna's head.
"What the-?"
"Take this biatch!" Allen grabbed a single hair on Millerna's head and pulled it out.
"Ouch!"
Allen grinned evilly and pulled out another, and another, and another.
"AHHH! THAT HURTS!!" Millerna ran around in circles swiping at Allen with the knife. Luckily, Allen was too close to her head for her to ever hit him. Instead she cut her own hair.
Allen cackled maniacally and pulled more of her hair out. "Run, Hitomi!"
Hitomi nodded and ran towards the lake. When she reached the bank Van was just about to go under. "H-hitomi!!"
"Hang on damnit! Can't believe you jumped into a lake…" Hitomi grabbed onto a bulrush with one paw, and extended her other one. "Grab on!"
Van tried to swim towards Hitomi hand but sank to the bottom instead. "Van…VAN!? Oh crap!!" Hitomi ripped out a bulrush and tied it around her waist. She tied the other end around a tree root and dove into the water.
Hitomi swam around the bottom of the lake looking for Van. She looked all around, but since kitty vision ain't the greatest under water everything was a blur. She was about to go back up for hair when she heard "bibomi!".
Nani? Was that my name?
Hitomi spotted bubbles coming from a small black blob sitting at the bottom of the lake. She swam towards it and saw Van sitting on his butt. His cheeks were red from holding his breath too long. Hitomi thanked God and wrapped her little kitty arms around Van's waist. She kicked and pattled her way to the surface. When they finally broke Van's tummy was bloted with water. Hitomi gasped and pulled the bulrush, dragging herself to the bank.
Meanwhile…
"AHHHH!!! Stop it! MY HAIR!!"
"Bwahahahahaha!!" Allen pulled out yet another strand of hair with ease and tossed it aside. "That's 1983, dang how much hair do you have?" He snickered and yanked another out, receiving a yelp from Millerna. "Obviously not a lot. Damn, never seen so many bald spots on one person before."
Millerna snarled loudly and grabbed a pan out of hammerspace. She aimed, and then brought the pan down onto her head. Allen, being the clever little devil that he is, jumped out of the way. This caused the pan to hit Millerna's head, successfully knocking her out cold. Allen cheered and ran over to the lake to check on Hitomi and Van.
~***~
"Van!? VAN???" Hitomi ran around Van and tried to wake him up. Van laid on the floor, his stomach filled with water, little swirlies in his eyes. Hitomi sat and pondered for a moment. A little lightbulb appeared above her head and she snapped her fingers. "Got it!"
Hitomi ran around to the front of Van, jumped up and landed on his belly. Water squirted out of Van's mouth like a little fountain. Hitomi cheered silently and continued to jump on his stomach until it was back to it's normal size.
Van still didn't wake up.
Hitomi panicked and put her ear to Van's mouth to see if he was breathing. Yup, he's still alive. Hitomi scooped up some water from the river and threw it onto Van's face. Van yelped and jumped up.
"Water! No more water!!"
"Van!" Hitomi shouted with glee. She yipped happily and pounced him. "Van I'm so glad your okay! You almost drowned!"
Van scratched his head and stood up a bit woozily. "How did I get out of the lake?"
Hitomi blushed "Err…well I saved you."
"You did?"
"Well…umm…yeah ." Hitomi giggled nervously and played with the end of her tail.
Van put his arm on the back of his head and blushed. "Heh, thanks…"
"No problem. I mean I couldn't just let you…" Hitomi trailed off when she found Van's face inches from her own. "…Van?"
Van closed his eyes, leaned in and…licked Hitomi's nose. Hitomi blinked with surprise. Van looked even more shocked. "What the heck??"
"Umm, Van, why did you *lick* me??"
"Well I was kinda going for a KISS."
"Oh yeah, licking is how cats kiss. Ehe…"
Van growled and kicked a rock. Since the rock was twice his size he yelped in pain and clutched his toe. "BLOODY HELL! Perfectly romantic moment friggen ruined because I'm a damn CAT."
Hitomi giggled and hugged Van. Van blushed and stiffened.
"Doesn't matter. A kiss is a kiss."
"Awww…how cute."
Hitomi and Van both turned a dark shade of crimson and whipped around to see Allen chuckling. "Real sorry to ruin the gushy moment of the century but I took care of Millerna. She's –"
"STANDING BEHIND YOU!!" Hitomi and Van both shouted, pointing at Allen. Allen snickered and shook his head.
"You really think I'm that stupid?"
"I certainly think so."
Allen paled and his blood ran cold. He slowly turned his head around and stumbled backwards in shock. Millerna was standing behind him, pan AND Butchers Knife in hand. She had only a few strands of hair remaining in her head. Van and Hitomi both clamped their paws onto their mouths to keep from laughing.
"Alright, I've had QUITE enough of you three. I think I'm willing to FINISH YOU OFF!"
"Wait, wait wait wait! Can't we talk about this? I mean, common. Don't you have this really big crush on me? Think about what it would be like without Allen around anymore!"
Millerna stopped to think about Allen's statement, then shrugged. "Feh, whatever."
All three kitties paled and backed up. "Anyone thinking of jumping into the lake and ending it all?" Van suggested while backing up and trying NOT to fall into the lake.
"Heck no! I just finished saving your ass!" Hitomi scolded. Allen looked around and tried to find and escape route.
"Oh crap, we're completely surrounded. We are SO gonna die…"
Suddenly there was a loud shout. It sounded like that stupid noise Tarzan makes.
Everyone looked up to see Merle swing down from a large vine and land right intop of Millerna.
"Merle!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"Hey guys! I got the antidote. Oh Van-sama, some guy named Omake says hi."
Van blinked and scratched his head. "Who the hell is Omake?"
"GET.OFF.ME!" Millerna ordered, trying to scramble out from underneath Merle. Merle chuckled and jumped up and down on Millerna's back.
"Merle! Forget her and give us the potion." Hitomi shouted impatiently.
"Oh ALRIGHT!" Merle kicked Millerna into the lake and scooped up the kitties. "Let's go back and do it."
They all walked back to the castle, ignoring the 'Help! Help I can't swim!' that was coming from the lake.
~***~
Hitomi looked up and down her now-human body. She hugged herself and smiled. "I've never been happier to look in a mirror in my life!"
"Ditto." Van said, slipping his gloves back on and patting his sword that hung at his side.
Allen was sitting in a corner, hugging his hair. "My beautiful hair…it's all back!"
Hitomi, Van and Merle sweatdropped and shook their heads.
"That guys is so damn vain…"
Van seemed to think of something then looked back at Merle. "Hey, who gave you the antidote again? What was his name?"
"Hmmm…I think it was 'Omake'."
Van pondered a second and then went pale. "SHI-"
Van was cut off when there was a 'poof' and a giant cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared, all you could see was a small, black puppy.
Sounds of someone laughing evilly echoed through the land.
The End.
Bwahahahahahahaha! I just HAD to end it like that. Now, to answer everyones questions, Omake is some nutcase that I made up. See, what happened is that he was making all these horrible potions and making peoples lives hell. So, when Van heard of him he shut down his shop. Omake was NOT happy about this, to say the very least. So yeah, he made that potion to get back at Van. It was just really good luck for him that his sister Itake had already put them through hell, and sent Merle to him for 'help.'
I hope you all liked the story. Ja ne!
