It's been a whole day now since I got these cats and I have yet to name them still. I just keep calling them all sweetheart and hun and baby. Not exactly good to keep doing that, but I didn't even think to name them after that nice ass shower I took after bringing them home. It's already 4pm on Sunday, thank GOD for labor day so I have Monday off as well, and I have yet to give them cat food. I cooked some salmon I froze and left out to defrost, making theirs plain and making mine in a nice lemon butter sauce, and some more plain cooked meat.

They eventually need cat food. I had leftover litter in my one storage closet so thankfully the box, leftover as well, is in good shape for them but I have to get to the store sooner rather than later. I even resorted to giving them some cooked scrambled eggs and bacon this morning. They seemed so grateful for it, the one grey cat and the other yellow one even purring as they ate. I'm glad they're all getting more comfortable around me~

They constantly search my house but I haven't let them into my bedroom yet. I'm not sure if I fully trust them in there with some of the breakable anime figures and nendos I have in there. The one Kakuzu figure is over 300, the Hidan one too, and I do NOT want those broken. My wallet will light aflame and my heart will shatter. No amount of super glue will fix that. They seem pretty miffed over me restricting them from going into my bedroom though. I will with time, I just want to make sure I can trust them before I let them in.

"Why hello~" I coo, looking down at the blue one as he tilts his head to one side, his tail flicking behind him. They're quite expressional cats too; tails flicking, head tilts, odd smile-y smirks and such. It's amusing, really. I can read them well and tell when they're happy, curious, frustrated, or just truly dislike something. It makes it easier to get used to them.

"Whaddya want, big guy? Wanna come up? Here." I say, moving my squishmallow onto my lap and pat the now free cushion for him. Without a second to waste, he hopped up and got comfortable on it, curling up into a little loaf and looking at the tv. I give a soft pet down his back and a little trill comes from him, his tail flicking once more. Oh? He liked it, hm? Cute~

"I think I'm gonna' start back up Naruto. I was rewatching the whole series for fun and I think I left off on the whole Deidara and Sasuke fight." I say to myself, grabbing the remote and flicking over to the Hulu app. Even though everyone shit talks on Dub, I prefer it over sub. It's easier for me to relax and watch rather than havta read subs. I can just sit back and listen.

As the tv turns on, Kabuto on the screen talking nonsense of his merging with Orochimaru, all the cats conveigned by the TV and my table and look at me, then the tv, then back at me. Weird… maybe it's the animated movements? My past cat loved Ghibli movies from the way they looked and moved on the screen. She'd sit right up by it and watch the whole thing with me. How sweet that they watch the tv with me too, it melts my heart~

I was going to give them up for adoption, or at least most of them since I really can't afford 6 cats, but they're all growing on me with their unique personalities. Maybe I will keep them. Money is money, these cats provide me some happiness.

"You guys like it~? How sweet, maybe we can bond over watching Naruto then. Hehe~ You're all so cute." I hum, crossing my legs on the recliner and laughing softly at Tobi backing away from Sasuke while Deidara swoops down on him with the C4 birds.

Remember Alyssa, names for these guys. After this one episode, names.

Deidara

I can't believe this! Is this village in the future or something?! My failure, my loss, all displayed on a screen for what? Entertainment?! Ridiculous!!

My tail was puffed out from my anger, my hackles raised as I stared down the screen seeing Sasuke's face. The bastard. I didn't get to exact my revenge on him when I found out he was still alive when I was revived from the Edo Tensei. I wanted to kill that motherfucker and then I died…AGAIN.

"Hah! On display for us ALL Deidara~" Hidan laughs, staring at me as everyone looks at the screen. I was going to kill Hidan next.

"What is this, Alyssa?!" I turn around, glaring up at her. To her surprise, she looks down at me with wide eyes.

"What has gotten into you, spitfire? You were so nice this morning when we had breakfast." She leaned down, tilting her head at me.

"What makes you think you have a right to show my death and watch it for entertainment, hm?! That's cruel."

"I…don't understand why you're so mad. It's justa. show….he's not real."

"Not real my ass! I'm right here, hm!" I hiss, my hair further on end as she backs up a bit. That's right, be afraid, be very afraid. I'll claw your eyes out.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on." She raises that remote, pausing the screen and huffing.

"Is..it the show? Do you not like Naruto? I didn't think cats would pick and choose what they like but…" She trailed off, my fur coming down now that it stopped, Sasori moving to stand behind me.

"Quiet brat. She doesn't know that's you. She cannot understand you."

"She needs to turn this off."

"It could provide us information as to where we are and what this place is. She said, "it's not real". What did she mean by that?" Itachi walked up to the other side before turning to look at the screen again.

"It's just a tv show, spitfire. They're all made up characters, they're not real. It's okay." She smiles sweetly, sliding off of the couch and onto the floor so she was closer to my level.

"I'm not made up. I'm right fucking here, hm."

"Tv show? Not real? What does she mean?"

"Ain't none of us made up! Clearly not if we're here now, bitch."

"I don't think she knows that we're here. If what she's saying is true… maybe to them who we are and where we're from is purely a figment of someone's imagination." Itachi steps closer to her, sitting on her lap and staring up at her.

"Continue."

"...you're all so weird. It's just a show. Some guy in Japan thought of them, drew them, and made this. It's nothing bad, okay lil' spitfire?" She reaches out, casually rubbing under my chin as that purring pulled back up from within me again. I can't control it but it feels good when it happens.

"So I was right. I thought for a while this place was another village but..it's not. We may be in a whole other world." Itachi jumps off of her lap then onto the table, looking at the screen.

"Bullshit." I spit, glaring up at him.

"She confirmed it herself. We're not real to them, we're made up. Fiction. Whatever happened to us and made us come here, it's beyond chakra and our powers. Even if we got our chakra back, we'd have no idea how to get ourselves back home."

"We're worse off then we imagined. Looks like your outburst help us after all, brat." Sasori looks up to her, sitting by my left side and looking up at her.

"Okay~? How about I turn it off for now and we get to naming you guys. You're so fiesty and fired up from the show- I'll watch it some other time so I don't further piss you off." She reaches out, quickly petting me once more before taking the remote and turning off the "show" to put on some other show she recently watched. Something with a girl and a lot of men vying for her love and hand in marriage. Boring.

"Is home even a possibility at this point?"

"Who knows?"

Alyssa

"Let's start with my little spitfire then, hm~? What should I name you?" I ask aloud, stretching out my left leg with a wince. Maybe I should grab my one heat pack and wrap it around my knee. It's been real bad today and I don't think I have the energy to really struggle through the pain today and tomorrow as well. My luck, it'd follow into Tuesday as well.

"Something explosive and fiery, like that little temper of yours~" I tease, poking his nose and leaning back against the couch.

"Atom? Like the atom bomb? Hm… Seems a biut cliche if anything. Maybe something else?" I look up as I think, staring at my ceiling. It's the only thing that really comes to mind for him. Atom. Closing my eyes, I purse my lips and think a little more. Explosions,...something that I think about often, something that'll stick. Supernova, maybe? Supernovas are even larger than atomic bombs. Spectacular, they even give way to create new life and new meaning.

"Nova. For Supernova. The largest explosion in history yet, it seems, something that still won't match that damn temper of yours, brat~" She teased the little yellow cat, who gave her a small growl but his tail twitched slow and steady. A happy little man, it seems. He's just temperamental is all. Cutiepie~

"Let's see, who's up next on the chopping block? Who's gonna meet their maker~?" I tease, scanning the kittens only to smile when the black one walks up to me and sits in front of my crossed legs, staring up at me expectantly.

What a stoic little man he is, ready and waiting for me. These cats…they're definitely something special. I should get them checked more thoroughly just to make sure I'm not losing my mind or something. I usually feel like I am but this time…maybe I really am? God help me.

Right, right. Namin, right. Lets see, this black cat has always been quiet and to himself. I haven't seen his personality that much. Just quiet but kinda sweet. I've had no issues with him so far like I have with the blonde and white kittens. He's just been kinda… there.

"Celaeno. "The dark one". It's basic as can be but I feel like it fits for you and it feels much more mature. You're one of the most well behaved kittens I've ever met, after all. Quite the stoic little guy. I won't have to worry about you getting in trouble in my room when I finally let you all in…eventually." I nod, giving him a small pet on the head with two fingers and looking over to the second largest cat.

A brown one, just as quiet as this black one. He's quite large for a kitten, maybe he's some kind of Maine Coone mix? He doesn't have many Maine Coone marking or traits though, maybe he's just a big boy? He only ever acts up when he hisses or swats at the white cat when he's being rowdy. He's mature too for his young age. An old soul of a cat who keeps others in line. Hm.

"I have the perfect one for you." I smile softly, holding my hand out to him as he looks at it, then me. I have yet to pet him, he seems the kind that would lash out but maybe, just maybe…

I reach out, giving a hesitant pet to his head and run it down to his cheek, pulling away when he did nothing. Phew.

"Atlas. I like Atlas for you. Like the Titan. Strong and assured. Confidence. I like that for you, it's a great name." I nod, seeing a look in his eye, never breaking eye contact with him until another cat meowed, drawing my attention to him. The little white one, the asshole who scratched my hand on Fridayafter work when I found them. Little bitch he is, it still hurts. I can't be too mad at him, he's probably untrusting of humans or just others period. It'll take time for him to warm up, at least he's not actively attacking me when I'm around him, just hissing and swatting when I get too close to him.

"Loudmouth you are. Need all the attention on you, do you?" I smirk, making him hiss back at me and give me this glare that could kill. What an angry little boy. So spicy~

"I'd love to name you Hades or Lucifer but I feel they'd be mad at me if I disrespected their names like that, so that's out of the question. We have a mythology and space theme going on so far so lets try and stick to that. Hm.. Ah! Mars. It's the planet of aggression in astrology and the planet for the God of War. Good for your feisty ass. So, we have Mars, Atlas, Nova, and Celaeno. Four down, two to go~ How about you, lil' sweetheart?" I look over at the Russian blue, smiling and stroking his cheek as he nibbles my fingers, making me laugh.

"A biter huh? My last angel was one too. Always bit me, I loved her for it though. Lets seeeeee… something space themed or mythological. Shouldn't be too hard for you. Yanno what? Imma be basic. Neptune. You're a Russian blue, blue for the sea, Neptune and all that.. Yeah. I like that. Neptune. That just leaves one last sucker then~" I turn to the little reddish one, tilting my head to see him staring at me with such a blank and unreadable face. How interesting.

"Your eyes are beautiful. I quite like them. They're deep, slanted a bit, definitely different." I hum, leaning down a bit to get a closer look at him. He has a pretty tame temper too compared to his yellow and white companions. Still has some fight in him, like the brown one, but not so calm like the black one. There's a little life left in this baby. It's kicking in there somewhere.

"Scorpio. You have Scorpio eyes. Anyone I know who has Scorpio in their chart winds up having just such amazing eyes. Well- not to toot my own damn horn there, I don't agree on my own end but still, I think they're all gorgeous eyes. I love yours, so you'll be Scorpio." I nod, sitting up straight and crossing my arms over my chest.

"Alright, looks like our little misfit rag-tag group here is all named. Celaeon, Neptune, Mars, Atlas, Nova and Scorpio. Welcome to my home, please don't destroy it since it's my little sanctuary from work. I'm Alyssa and, I guess, your new owner until either I die, you die, or something somehow splits us apart. I spoil my babies so..you definitely won't have to worry about abuse. Welcome home, I suppose."
