KITTY LOVE
PART 3
The wind ruffled neko-Heero's fur as he lay near Relena on a worn out, old blanket. The dead of winter in January had bloomed into the spring of April, and apparently still no word from the human Heero. Now Relena was lying on the blanket placed on the back yard lawn and reading a book. Neko-Heero sighed as the small breeze picked up sending a mixture of warm and cool air cascading over their bodies; he was enjoying this. No one had reported a missing cat, so Neko-Heero was now officially Relena's.
She looked down at Neko-Heero, stroking his fur behind his head before chuckling as he quickly drew away. He never wanted to be petted, or stroked, or patted, though there were times when his guard would slip and Relena would be able to scratch him under the chin. Neko-Heero looked at her and then set his head back on the blanket. No matter what any on- looker would say, they were enjoying this. There seemed to be a certain respect and friendship passing between them, and they both loved it.
"I'm not going to get you a collar." Relena finally said. "If you were to run away, you would have done so already. Besides, as Wufei would say, it would do you no honor or justice. It would ruin your beautiful fur."
She smiled as neko-Heero looked directly into her eyes and nodded. "So you like that decision, huh?"
"Meow..." he answered as he suddenly climbed up Relena's body and licked her face gently. She giggled and stroked down his back as he butted his forehead against hers, before licking her there.
She giggled again, "You definitely like that decision and you definitely are no ordinary cat."
Neko-Heero sighed again and lay down on top of her, purring and beginning to fall asleep. She massaged his back a little before she too fell asleep on the clear spring afternoon.
They woke suddenly to the sound of thunder booming directly above them. Black clouds had rolled in and lightning streaked across the sky, sending another explosion down to earth. Relena quickly rolled the blanket up and stuck her book in the middle.
"Heero, we have to run!" She exclaimed as tiny rain started to fall, though picking up intensity. But she really didn't have to say anything since neko-Heero had already shot off. Even though they didn't have far to go, when they reached the house they were completely soaked to the bone due to the sudden pouring rain.
They ran in and Relena slammed the door shut, then ran through the house and shut all the windows. She laughed as she slid to the floor after closing the last window in the bathroom. "For a cat, you sure can run fast."
Neko-Heero just glared at Relena and she laughed at him. He looked exactly like a newly dunked cat that came out of a pool, his fur falling down and sticking to his body as it dripped water on the floor, creating a tiny puddle around him. His fur on his face fell so far, that part of it hid his eyes. He looked like a drowned rat. Relena couldn't help but burst out laughing as he tried to shake the water off, though it only made it worse. Now he had spikes.
She got up, still laughing, and took out a few towels from the closet inside the wall of the bathroom. "Heh Can't have you dripping anymore water all over the place." She picked neko-Heero up and led him to the bedroom, where she set the towels on the floor and placed him on top of the tiny pile, then placed one on top of him. "Now you wait here so I can go take a bath." She said as she went over to the door.
Something flashed in his eyes as he watched her go. Suddenly panic spread throughout him as he meowed his objection very loudly and ran to her.
"Stay here!" She ordered as she closed the door.
Neko-Heero scratched and pawed at the door, meowing his heart out and breaking Relena's. She shut the bathroom door and heard the cries muffle further. "Just ignore him." She said to herself as she went over and started the water. As she slid in, she closed her eyes and tried to imagine that she couldn't hear the heartbreaking cries of her cat.
Neko-Heero pawed and dug at the door desperately. He jumped up and grabbed the circular doorknob, twisting it open.
Relena went under the water to rinse her hair and as she surfaced, she noticed that she could no longer hear neko-Heero. She lay there, feeling more than a little guilty. Then suddenly the door flew open and before she knew it, a cat jumped into the bathtub, landing in a bunch of suds and sending them flying.
"Heero?! How did you get in here?!"
"Mrow!" he answered, climbing up her body and butting her head with his. She sighed and stroked his fur. Then suddenly neko-Heero realized exactly where he was and jumped out of the tub, turning away and shielding his eyes with his paw. Then he went over, grabbed Relena's robe, and placed it on the toilet seat by the tub before turning away once more.
Relena sighed and stepped out of the water, quickly wiping herself off with a towel before wrapping her robe around her body. "Go get a towel." she said and neko-Heero gladly obliged. He came back, to see that Relena had put water in the sink, and some shampoo and conditioner was sitting by it.
He cocked his head at her and she picked him up. "I've noticed that you don't bathe yourself like a normal cat, so I'll do it for you." She placed him in the water and he stared at her. Then she dabbed some shampoo onto her hand, rubbed it around, lathering it up, and placed them on neko- Heero. She started massaging his body, gently at first, then a little harder. Neko-Heero's head lopped to the side as pleasure surged through his cat body. As Relena poured warm water over his frame, causing him to purr. Relena then took the conditioner and repeated the task she used with the shampoo. When she finished rinsing him off, she drained the sink and picked him up.
Setting him on the floor, she knelt down and gently began to dry the cat off. She did his headfirst, and then as she went to his shoulders he looked up at her. His gaze penetrated deep into her soul with human-like eyes. She stared at him, her movements slowing. Then she shook her head and returned to her task.
/Don't think of Heero don't think of Heero. This cat is not Heero./
Neko-Heero watched her, sensed her movements waver, felt her hands tremble that was not due to the chilled air in the house. He knew that, he knew she was worried about something, he knew that every time she looked into his cat-eyes.
"Okay, you're all dried off now. How about we watch a movie? I can make some popcorn. It's microwavable, but it's good!"
"Meow!!" he agreed jumping to his feet.
Relena laughed. "Okay, you go pick out the movie, while I go get dressed, okay?"
"Mow!" neko-Heero exclaimed and took off for the movie shelf. Relena chuckled and walked into her room.
After she had gotten ready, and went to open the door, she noticed something at the bottom of the door's frame. She bent down and traced her fingers over the indentions. "Claw marks..." she whispered, then shook her head and left the room.
When she got to the living room, neko-Heero was still sitting in front of the shelf, staring at the collection.
"Can't decide?" Relena asked as she sat cross-legged next to him. He looked up at her and then moved to sit in her lap, purring instantly. "I admit it's not much." She added stroking down his head and neck, noticing that he wasn't pulling away any longer. She skimmed through the titles. "Independence Day," "Deep Impact," "Armageddon," "Titanic," "Men in Black," "The Mummy," "Sound of Music," "The Nutty Professor," "Dr. Doolittle," "Mystery Men," and "The Craft," among others including some anime. (Go figure) Actually, now that she thought of it, she had a pretty good selection; the problem was finding the right one.
Finally, Neko-Heero got up and pawed one of the DVDs. Relena picked it up and looked at it. "The Princess Bride"? Are you sure you want to watch this one?"
Neko-Heero stared it her.
"Hey, I'm not complaining, it's one of my absolute favorites. But, well, besides Quatre, no one else likes it all that much."
Neko-Heero nudged the box slightly, then Relena's free hand.
"Alright, we'll watch this." She said as she petted him and he nipped her wrist gently. "Just let me get the popcorn ready." She placed the DVD in its player and then went into the kitchen bringing out a bag from a cupboard and popping it into the microwave. Neko-Heero jumped onto the cabinet behind her and she smiled, moving over to him while they waited for their snack/dinner. He butted his head against hers again and kept it there. Relena laughed and brushed his fur, then scratched under his chin, laughing when he fell over purring. The microwave buzzed behind them and Relena sighed in annoyance. Neko-Heero looked up, coming out of his reverie. Relena opened the hot bag and inhaled the fragrance. Neko-Heero sniffed at the air and licked his lips.
"Come on, Heero. Let's start that movie." She said as she walked back into the living room.
He jumped down from the cabinet and followed her, circling her legs as she picked up the remote. When Relena sat down on the couch and pulled a pillow over, Neko-Heero jumped right on it. Relena laughed and stroked his fur, kissing his head softly. He looked up at her, eyes wide.
"Hey, you're my cat! I'm allowed, aren't I?"
Neko-Heero nodded hesitantly and took a piece of popcorn Relena had offered him.
"I really don't think this is good for cats, but you're no ordinary cat. So I guess it's okay." She said pressing play.
Right at the part where Fezik dressed up as the 'Dread Pirate Roberts', lightning crashed outside causing the power to go out."
"Damn. Always those spring storms. Well, so much for the movie."
Neko-Heero stiffened as he watched the lightning dance across the sky. With each flash, a memory came. Flash; many hands on him, holding him down to a table as what he thought was thunder boomed off in the distance. Flash, a needle inserting into his neck, flash, pain coursing through his entire body as his screams filled the air, flash, an evil, sinister man grinning down on him and laughing psychotically. He shivered and drew closer to Relena. Her reassuring words along with her touches soothing him, telling him that it was just a storm, no more, no less. He pushed the ghastly memories once again to the back of his mind and started purring. He was sure that he was far away from the torture, far away from the pain.
Thunder crashed high above Mar base. The commander was not happy.
"Have you depicted when the serum will end!?"
"Y-yes sir..." a young scientist answered shakily.
"Well?!!"
"It-it's temporary. It should end within a few weeks from insemination."
"You fool!!! We administered the test a few weeks ago!!! That means that the subject either has returned or will return to his original state by now and knows exactly where this base is because you fools couldn't watch a lousy cat!!!!! I want him back here now!!!"
"Bu-but sir, when the subject escaped, he destroyed every last trace of the serum except the ones that we were testing on because they were hard to get to. B-besides, even if we do make more of the stuff, if we inject any more into his bloodstream, it would have no effect. He would be immune to it. We need to test it on someone else, someone who has an equal amount of power or influence as he does."
"Then I know just the person. And find Heero Yuy when you get the next test subject, I want him eliminated."
"Uh, sir? May I ask who this next test subject will be?"
"Princess Relena Peacecraft." The commander laughed evilly. It sounded through the base as the lightning flashed in the sky, a warning to those who dare to interfere with him; saying that if they did, they would be in for the ride of their lifetime.
The wind ruffled neko-Heero's fur as he lay near Relena on a worn out, old blanket.
