A/N: Okay! Welcome back folks! Sorry 'bout the delay. I've been reading several Kratos-centered fics because, although this story's Kratos' personality is supposed to be mixed with that of a kitten, he seemed too cattish, and his human personality seemed a bit OoC.

Review Responses

Zodiac angel: Glad you liked it! Actually, I despise tomato as well. Ugh… yes, I was quite pleased with the way things turned out with Kratos' identity being revealed.

Luciado: Unfortunately, I live in Newfoundland, and we don't get that channel D:. Yes… Kratos has been revealed

Katandshadow: Lucky for Kratos he'll be staying with Lloyd(or will he?) that way he can avoid getting attacked by Raine. Hmmm… I can't reveal my choice of animal for Yuan, but I think it will be satisfactory.

Ookami Aya: Yes… putting Kratos in uncomfortable situations is my favorite hobby:o I guess reading this at night takes away the humor? (I admit last chapter wasn't too funny.)

RavenGhost: -eyes chainsaw- Heh… heh… glad you like it… -inches away-

Origins89: XD glad you liked it. Hopefully this chapter will be just as good.

PreseathePup:) once again, Yuan will be a surprise animal, so it may, or may not be what you all are guessing –winks-

Queen of White Dunes:P well, it wouldn't have been any fun if he got zapped to Luin would it?

Fan Fan Girl: Thank you for the compliments, and right now, I'd expect Raine wouldn't tell Lloyd just so she could kill Kratos, but that would end this story far too quickly!

KratosIsSoCool: Wow, thank you! Eh, I don't think my imagination's that unbelievable.And I'd much rather be in Finland then here in Newfoundland… I'm freezing, and since I live on the coast, it's always foggy, and wet, and dangerous!

THANK YOU ALL VERY VERY MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS!

And now, the disclaimer! With your host Snape and his special guest…

Zelos!

Snape: Cut your hair.

Zelos: Why? The girls love it!

Snape: God… what did I do to deserve this?

Zelos: Dude… I'm sure if you washed your hair…

Snape: WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT MY TO WASH MY HAIR?

Zelos: Because it's oily and icky?

Snape: Of course… no one could just tell me that, could they?

Zelos: X3 Shadow doesn't own Tales of Symphonia, Snape and his greasy hair, or all the hunnies of the world!

Snape: -broods over hair-

A/N: before we go on with the chapter; could one of you faithful reviewers tell me how exactly you find out that Kratos hates tomatoes? I've read it on enough sites and such to be positive it's true, but is it in the game? Or is it in the Japanese version? (Since that one has A LOT more Kratos centered things, or so I've been told.)

Chapter four: Spiritua's pet kitty.

The time? Three o'clock PM. The place? Dirk's house. Lloyd was attempting to do his chores, which included the laundry, and making himself a snack. A certain seraphim-gone-kitten, however, was making his daily routine somewhat difficult.

Lloyd looked down at his father after tripping over him for the fifth time. "C'mon Dad!" He whined. "Go play with Noishe, Or Colette!" He began walking again and gagged when Kratos decided to play Tarzan using the ribbons on his shirt. "Gah! Kratos! Leggo!" Without meaning to, Lloyd lashed out his leg and watched in shock as Kratos, his father, flew across the room and out the door. "Whoa, Dad!" The swordsman rushed out the door and found a certain red-haired Chosen peeling the terrified-and now bruised- kitten off his face. "I'll give it a ten on the take off… gotta watch those landings though!" Zelos Wilder laughed good-naturedly while Kratos hissed angrily at Lloyd and burrowed his head into Zelos' elbow.

"Weird… Kratos usually didn't like you much." Lloyd observed.

"Well you did just kick the poor thing out the door, literally…Hey!" Zelos eyed Lloyd suspiciously. "What d'you mean, Kratos?" his eyes wandered down to the frightened kitten. "This isn't…"

"It is." Lloyd interrupted, sighing quietly. He knew what would come next, and it didn't exactly lean in Kratos' favor.

"Then this is… GAH! Stand on your own feet!" Just as Lloyd had expected. Kratos was launched into the air, where he twisted about, but to no avail, as the ground flew up at him, Kratos scrunched his eyes closed and felt, with mixed shock and relief, wings burst out of his fur and he halted mid-air.

"Yo, Lloyd! Look, it's Kratos the cherub!" Zelos laughed while Kratos eyed the two of them thoughtfully.

Lloyd was the first one to catch onto the look, and the fact that a circle of fluffy white feathers surrounded Kratos. "Uh… Zelos?" Lloyd managed, inching backwards.

"Meow!" Kratos hissed and five thin, beams of light erupted from just over Zelos' head. As the miniature lights of judgement rained down, one caught Zelos's hair on fire.

"Say… Lloyd… d'you smell something burning?" The Chosen asked blandly.

Colette walked down the stairs and exited the house. She'd been chatting with Raine and Genis, but after a while the Professor's yelling about Kratos' 'immature behavior' had made the blonde feel slightly down, so she decided to visit Lloyd and Kratos, after all, Lloyd was always fun to be around, and Kratos was adorable as a kitten.

However, Colette hadn't been counting on coming outside to Zelos running in circles with his hair alight, Lloyd trying to smack it out with his hand, and Kratos in his angelic form, as a kitten, meowing in a way that suggested he found the scene incredibly funny.

"Lloyd! Watch out! Don't hurt him!" Colette ran into the house and returned with a dripping towel. Without further ado she threw it over Zelos' head and watched the chosen splutter while Kratos meowed even louder.

"I will kill that cat!" Zelos roared, staring at his hair, which now had several inches burnt off.

Kratos squealed in fear an landed. After a moment of eyeing Zelos, he took off. There was only one person to go to at a time like this...

"NOISHE!" He cried spotting his soon-to-be saviour.

"Hmm?" The protozoan had barely turned around when Kratos took a grand leap and landed on his head. "Go! Gogogo! Crazed Chosen! RUN!"

Taking all the babbling of 'go!' as a sign that there was a threat, Noishe took off into the forest.

After ten minutes of running Kratos finally got the message through for Noishe to stop. "I think… I lost him." The kitten breathed, slumping against one of Noishe's ears. "I thank you Noishe. You saved me from a very harsh punishment."

"Punishment? You mean to tell me that there wasn't a monster?" Noishe snarled, beginning to twitch.

"Monster?" Kratos scoffed, "Of course not, Zelos just wanted to kill me." The cat shrugged and yelped when Noishe shook him off his head.

"You made me run for NOTHING? I ought to… I will kill you!" the protozoan clicked his sharp teeth together, producing an unnerving sound.

"Heh… don't do anything hasty now, Noishe." Kratos squeaked, stumbling back a few steps, "I mean, we've been friends for what, four thousand years?"

Noishe didn't seem to care as he stepped closer, he was, of course, joking, but this was the first time he'd ever seen Kratos so terrified.

Kratos whimpered again. This was insane! It felt like the longer he was a kitten, the more he felt like a kitten; young, cowardly, and energetic.

Noishe nearly laughed aloud as he clicked his teeth again. However, he wasn't expecting what came next.

"GO AWAY!" Kratos yelled, scratching Noishe's nose and fleeing, running deep into the forest until his protozoan friend could no longer see him.

After a moment of staring Noishe let out a loud whine and turned, trotting back to Dirk's house, wondering how he was going to get Lloyd to go find Kratos.

The forest was rather dark and scary. Ugh! Kratos shook his head in disgust. He was an angel! One of the heroes of the ancient war! And yet, here he was, complaining that a forest was 'scary'.

There was a loud rustle and Kratos could have sword he had jumped out of his skin. "Wh-who's there?" He asked, forcing all uncertainty from his already squeaky voice. "Come out!"

There was another rustle and a tiny white head poked out of the leaves. "Oooooh! Who're you? Can I play with you? Pleeeease? Pleasepleasepleeeeaaase?" The furry creature pounced at Kratos and for a moment they wrestled before Kratos finally got away and whirled around to find that the creature was in fact a kitten, about two inches shorter then him with brilliantly white fur. "Who are you?" He asked slowly.

The other kitten scoffed, "Sheesh, you act like my grandma! I'm Lucky! Now, d'you wanna play or not?" He leapt at Kratoswho scurried away again.

"I have to go home." Kratos snapped, turning away. "I don't have time to fool around."

"Well you sure are a wet blanket! Come on! I'm sure they won't mind if you're gone for a while!" Lucky whined.

Against his better judgement, Kratos felt himself turn around and grin. Ugh! He was going to kill Yuan for this! First he was a kitten in body, now he was turning into a juvenile feline in mind as well. "Okay…" He agreed hesitantly. "But only for a while. Okay?"

Lucky squealed in delight and took off; glancing over his shoulder every now and then to make sure Kratos was still there. "What's your name?" he asked after a while of running.

"My name's—" Kratos was interrupted as he leapt over a log, "Kratos." He finished.

"Okie doke!" Lucky announced, skidding to a stop in a rather large clearing. "Here we are! I always come—WHOA!" Due to his new friend's sudden stop, Kratos had continued running, right into Lucky's back. "AGH!" they both cried, tumbling over a hill. When they stopped moving a wrestling match followed, which, oddly enough, Lucky won, pinning Kratos flat on the ground and laughing. "That was fun." He said simply, jumping away so the auburn kitten could sit up.

Kratos growled quietly. He didn't have time for this, Lloyd was probably worried to death! "I'm sorry, but I have to go home. My so—my owner is probably really, really worried." With that he turned away.

"Why?" Lucky demanded, "Are you afraid to stay out here in the woods?" Kratos could practically hear the other feline sneering.

"No… I just want to leave." He responded as calmly as possible.

"Fine then! Go home, Coward!"

Kratos whirled around and pounced on Lucky, "Don't call me a coward!" he snapped bitterly. Oh no… he felt another 'kitten moment' coming on.

"Why not, you won't stay outside with me!"

"Yes I will!" Kratos cried, going 'kitten', "Waddaya wanna play? I bet I'll win, too!" He pounced on a butterfly.

Lucky giggled shrilly. "Come on! Come on, come on!" He charged through the trees and was followed closely by Kratos, who was quite curious as to their location. "Where're we going, Lucky?" he asked finally.

The white kitten shrugged. "I dunno!" He laughed.

Kratos laughed with him, unaware that he was slowly becoming lost. "Hey! Where are we?" He asked after several minutes of chasing Lucky.

"I dunno!" Lucky repeated.

"Wh-what?" Kratos squeaked, skidding to a stop, "Then… How am I gonna get home, Lucky?" He asked, utterly distressed.

"Stop being such a whiner, Kratos!" Lucky snapped.

"Stop trying to make me lost, then!" Kratos retorted angrily.

"Fine, I don't care if you don't wanna be my friend!" the white kitten glared at Kratos, and gasped when two bright blue wings erupted from the other kitten's back.

"What are you?" Lucky cried, backing away.

Kratos paused. "Er…I'm…I'm…Spiritua's pet cat!" He finally said, puffing out his chest.

"Ah! Get away from me!" Kratos watched in satisfaction as the other feline vanished into the brush. He then looked up. "I guess I could get a better view from way up there." He mumbled, taking flight and looking over the canopy of trees. "Oh no…" he moaned. "I don't see any houses!" After a minute of pouting, he headed in one general direction.

Two hours later

Kratos groaned. His wings ached with a ferocity he couldn't imagine, and he had only just spotted Lloyd's house. "That's at least an hour away!" he whimpered.

At Lloyd's house

"Aw man, I can't believe my dad pulled a Noishe!" Lloyd complained, looking around the woods surrounding his home of fifteen years. "Where'd he go?" Lloyd, Zelos, Colette and Genis all exclaimed in unison, Raine simply kept looking.

"I wasn't surprised when you said he was gone. I mean, think about what he's going through. First he's a kitten, then Genis found him and forced him to eat cat food. Then Colette made him wear a tutu, then he found a clever way to explain that he was, indeed, Kratos, and I congratulated him by force feeding him tomato—" Raine was interupted by gasps from the four others.

"Raine!" Genis yelled.

"Professor… that's mean!" Colette said, wringing her hands.

"Wow, no wonder he was so clingy when you brought him here." Lloyd frowned.

"Good one, my Ultra Gorgeous Cool Beauty!" Zelos cheered, earning a loud slap.

"Yes, yes, I know, now let me continue. After that, Lloyd kicked him across a room and out the door," Lloyd looked down in embarrassment. "Then Zelos started chasing him, and finally, Noishe somehow scared Kratos enough to make him flee."

There was a moment of silence, then Colette looked up, smiling very weakly. "But, he looked so cute in that tutu, didn't he?"

Lloyd chuckled. "Yeah… Kratos in a tutu. No matter what species, that is still the rarest thing that anyone here will ever see."

Zelos sighed sadly. "You took it off before I got to see it." He complained.

"And for good reason! We'll all be bugging him about it for a few days. You'd go on for weeks!"

"That I would, Lloyd dearest."

"Hey! Everyone!" Colette suddenly squealed, pointing towards towards the west, where a little blue dot was approaching.

"It's a monster!" Genis squeaked

"It's a rheaird!" Lloyd decided.

"It's…"

"Kratos!" they all exclaimed, watching the kitten descend slowly before basically collapsing into Lloyd's arms.

"Wow… Hey… You okay?" Lloyd poked the kitten in his arms.

Kratos snarled a list of profanities. "Oh yes, I simply adore flying ten ZILLION miles." He snapped, though it all came out as nothing more then a wave of hisses and meows to the humans and half-elves.

Noishe stared at Kratos and felt a wave of shame sweep over him. "Hey… Kratos? I'm really—" He was cut off by a loud hiss.

"Noishe… You are forgiven, and if you don't want to be on my bad side tomorrow, be quiet and let me rest." With that, the Seraphim-gone-kitten slipped into a restless sleep, unaware of the situations he would face the next day.

A/N: DON'T SHOOT ME! –cowers- I know, I know, crappy chapter! I promise the next one will be a million times better! I promise!
