This is for all of you who were ticked off because I didn't put Heero or Trowa in the last part. I didn't put them in it for a reason. They're older in this story so they have already been bought and shipped off to someone's house. You'll see 'em. I promise. ^__^

It may not make a lot of sense but its like 11…… sue me

Duo woke ads the door to his cage was opened. The storeowner reached in, picked him up out of the cage, and rested him in his one arm as he walked to cage with the other kittens. He scratched Duo behind the ears and under the chin after he opened the window.

"Want to join your friends, little one?" he asked smiling to the mischievous kitten.

Duo mewed happily.

"Thought so." He placed Duo in the cage and locked the window. Duo stretched and lay down. Then without warning he was tackled.

"Duo!" Quatre mewed happily as he pounced the brown kitten.

"Quatre get off of me," Duo whined.

"You ok Duo? You sound a little mad." Quatre said. He didn't move himself from Duo's back.

"Don't worry about it, Q," Duo said with a relaxing breath and placed his chin between his paws. "Just too long in the dark."

"Poor Duo," Quatre said quietly and began to groom him behind the ear. It pulled a faint purr from the kitten under him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Look at those two" a young woman with blue hair said as she saw a yellow kitten sleeping on top of another sleeping brown one. The yellow kitten woke and got off of the brown. The brown kitten shook out his fur and sat on his hind legs. The window opened and the brown kitten mewed to the girl. He folded his ears back and ducked with a scared look as the girl went to pick him up. She cradled him on his back in her arms. The kitten looked at her with curious eyes. The girl smiled and scratched him under the chin and his furry stomach. He purred loudly with the attention he was getting. The girl then moved to the yellow kitten that had been watching her with Duo. He also ducked and moved away from her hand. She held out her hand and waited as the kitten cautiously went to sniff it. He ducked again as the hand came over his head again, then allowed himself to be pet when he realized there was no danger.

"Juli would love you two."

 The girl's eyes fell on the bronze kitten lying near the opposite window.  He looked at her and continued with his sleeping. The girl went to pet him. Realizing that he was being touched, the kitten woke and swiped at the girl's hand with his claws.

"Get away from me, woman." He growled.

"That one is a little grumpy." The storeowner said. "But they're a good group."

"Do they have names?"

"That one's Duo" the storeowner said as he pointed to the on in her arm. "The yellow one is Quatre and the grinchy one is Wufei."

The girl laughed. "Wufei? Who came up with a name like that?"

"Of course, you can change it if wish."

"Nah. I like it. It's unique for a kitten." The girl said with a smile "I'll take them all. We have a bit of a rodent problem."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Duo?" Quatre asked as he hung over the back of the back seat of the girl's car.

"Yeah?" Duo asked feeling a little sick.

"What's a rodent?"

"No idea"

"We're supposed to eat them," Wufei said feeling equally sick.

"Why?"

"That's all I know, Quatre," Wufei answered.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Here we are," the girl said as she shut off the car. She got out and brought the kittens inside of the house.

"Honey, I'm home," she shouted as she entered the house that she lived in with her friend.

"Oh, I forgot" she sighed disappointedly as she came back to reality. "I'm not married." She left the entryway and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

Wufei immediately went to one corner, laid down, and fell asleep. Duo went sniffing around. Quatre stood at the front door and looked around the house with scared eyes.

"Hey, little one" a strange girl said and held out her hand to him. He sniffed it and backed off, terrified. He smelled another cat on her.

"Hey what's wrong?" the girl asked with a smile. Quatre mewed at her. Then he saw something move out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head to see an older dark brown kitten walking into the entryway.  He stopped and looked at the new kitten with cold blue eyes. Quatre backed up slowly with his tail between his legs and his ears slightly folded back. After a few minutes he perked up a little and mewed to the kitten.

"Hello" Quatre said with a scared tone. The brown kitten continued on his way.

"Hey Juli." The blue haired girl said as she entered. "What do you think of the new group I got today?"

"They're adorable. Heero seems to like this one."

"Which one?" the girl's eyes fell on the yellow kitten shaking near the door.

"Oh." She laughed as she went to pick up the kitten. "Hey, Quatre" she said and scratched him behind the ears.

Quatre jumped as he heard Duo mewing for help.

"Duo?" Quatre mewed and jumped out of the girl's arms. He ran to where he heard Duo's calls coming from. He ran into a small room and found Duo swimming around in a white bowl of water.

"GET ME OUTTA HERE!" he mewed.

"I don't know how." Quatre said as he searched for some way to help his friend. Quatre turned to the blue haired girl as she entered laughing.

"Duo what are you doing in the toilet?" she laughed and picked the kitten out of the water. She rubbed her nose with his as she continued laughing.

"What happened, Luvin?" Juli said as she poked her head in the door. The blue haired girl handed Duo to Juli.

"He's yours," she laughed. "His name's Duo. Unless you want to change it."

"He's adorable." Juli said and kissed the kitten on the head before grabbing a towel and drying him off.

"Quatre's mine. You can have Wufei" Luvin said teasingly.

"Wufei?"

"That was my exact reaction," Luvin said biting her lip

Juli laughed and sent Duo back on his adventure through the house.
