Hullo everyone, thanks for reviewing, over 20, wow. So since I'm so happy, let's get right to it shall we?

- - -recap- - -

"I guess now I'll have a Sasuke who'll listen, even if it's not the real one." Which only left Sasuke to wonder. Who was this new Naruto and why did he sound so sad when he said what had about a Sasuke listing to him? - - -

When Sasuke woke up the next morning, he woke up with the sun in his eyes, even though he was sure he had seen curtains on the dobe's windows. He didn't remember lying down, or even falling asleep.

He sat up, looking around him as he did so. He was in a small box stuffed with pillows and a little canopy over it, with thick heavy veils that had been pulled to the sides, letting the obnoxious sun in. He climbed out of the little bed, and glanced around him, this must be Narutos room, although it didn't look like a room he would attached to Naruto, the walls were all painted a deep, forest green, the carpet was shag, also green. Narutos bed was just a mattress on the floor, the sheets were black, the comforter dark blue with a large orange fox on it.

Suddenly a fantastic smell reached his now sensitive nose. He suddenly realized how hungry he was, the stupid dobe hadn't even fed him yesterday! His spirits dropped a bit when he remembered who he was talking about, that smell couldn't be coming from anything Naruto had made, it must be from the apartment below them. Regardless, he figured that he should go find Naruto, as he might be able to get something to eat, even if it was ramen.

He padded down the cream hallway, hoping to see a kitchen, which was most likely where the idiot was, to his surprise, the wonderful smell only increased the farther down the hall he went, until he finally found the kitchen, and to his further shock, there was Naruto, with that stupid little hat on, standing over a stove, cooking bacon! 'THE HELL' Sasuke screamed mentally, in reality only making a small confused meow sound. Naruto turned around.

"Hullo there, little one, I thought I sensed you." Naruto said calmly, as if Sasuke hadn't just seen the Apocalypse. "You want some bacon?" he asked, tipping the sizzling bacon on to a cracked plate. "I'm sure you do, since you fell asleep before I could feed you." He placed the plate of hot bacon, that Sasuke reasoned had to taste gross, on the table, then sat down in the chair opposite it, picking up a box of cereal and pouring it into a bowl. "Come on. You're hungry aren't you? Then hop up, I don't bite. Hard." Naruto said, winking.

Had Sasuke been human he would have sputtered. Then he would have called Naruto an idiot, for there was no way that he could get his tiny, fluffy body onto that chair. As if was, he just sat and glared at Naruto until he looked up again.

"What? Do you not like heights? Most cats I get love them, but if you don't, we can eat on the floor." Naruto inquired. Sasuke shook his head, god, Naruto was an idiot.

"Then what is it?" he asked, puzzled. Sasuke went over to the chair, and looked up at the seat, all the way up. "Oh, you can't get up?" Naruto figured, 'Finally!' Sasuke thought, nodding. Naruto grinned. "I see, well that's strange, I've had kittens smaller then you get up there, did you not learn how to jump? Oh well, no matter, the snakes can't jump either. So I have just the thing." Naruto said, standing up. 'Snakes?' Sasuke thought.

Narutos hand came out of apparently nowhere, scooping him up and placing him on the table next to the steaming plate of bacon. "There, that should keep you while I'm not here," He said, moving to his own place across from Sasuke-kitty and pouring himself some milk to go with the cereal. Sasuke stared at his breakfast, wondering if it was safe to it, and apparently under the suspicion that if he stared at it long enough it would give up and tell him. When this didn't happen, he had been looking at it long enough to tell that it looked safe to eat. A waft of that delicious aroma hit his sensitive nose. It smelled safe to eat. He nibbled on a tiny corner. It tasted safe to eat... in fact, it tasted fantastic. He set into his bacon like some sort of crazy person.

When Sasuke had all but licked the plate clean, he looked up to find Naruto watching him with an amused look on his face. "Hungry?" he grinned. Had Sasuke been human, he probably would have flicked him off. As it was he growled. Naruto just grinned again.

"You," he said, pointing at Sasuke with his spoon, and splashing some milk on him, "Sorry, Are kind of strange. Most animals I meet, Kyuu can understand them, therefor so can I, but you, Kyuu can't understand a word of what you're saying, or at least so he says, but the point is, if Kyuu can't understand you, neither can I. You see, I'm in a very strange predicament-" at which Sasuke stared, not having thought that Naruto would even know what predicament meant. "-you can understand me, right?" Naruto asked Sasuke, who realized he was being spoken to, and pulled the question from the back of his head where it had been waiting for him to wake up, and nodded.

"How 'bout now?" Naruto asked, then preceded to make some strange noises, that were sorta like barks, but not a sound that any dog would make. When he stopped Sasuke had decided that Naruto was not safe and that he should probably tell the Hokage that one of her ninja's was mentally unstable, and should be locked away.

"Well," asked Naruto, "could you understand me then." the kitten shook his head. Naruto frowned. "See, that's exactly what I mean, most animals can only understand me if I speak like th-" Naruto stopped talking, which was logical, seeing as the phone was ringing.

"Yeah...uh-huh... I knew it... fine... well, this works out alright then, I need some stuff anyway...ok, I'll be there in 1 minutes, tops." Naruto put down the phone with a click and turned back to Sasuke, who was watching him with his head turned to one side, and looking quite adorable.

"Iruka-sensei called." Naruto said calmly, now putting the now finished bowl of cereal in the sink. "He and Kakashi need dinner, or as he put it, 'I need some dinner, and I'm having company so can you make extra.'" Naruto snorted. While had been saying this, he had gathered up Sasuke's plate as well as other kitchen mess, and tipped it into the sink. That done, he turned back Sasuke.

"You coming?" he asked, Sasuke nodded hesitantly, as he was curious to know why Kakashi was involved in 'company' and how Naruto immediately and was rewarded by a bright grin. Naruto scooped him up in one hand, and said "Hold on, this might tingle a bit." and the next thing Sasuke knew, they was no longer standing in Naruto's kitchen, but standing in a semi-messy living room, facing the couch, on which Iruka and Kakashi were making out. Sasuke felt the sudden urge to pass out in shock. Naruto cleared his troat. Kakashi and Iruka leapt up off each other, Kakashi pulling his mask up as he did so.

"Oh, don't mind me." Naruto grinned wickedly "I'm just the cook, but I think you may have shocked my kitten." Iruka, who was still turning back from the vivid red he had turned when Naruto walked in, sighed.

"Another one, Naruto? Oh well, let me see him, or her."

"Him." Naruto confirmed, handing over the bristling Sasuke, who couldn't exactly say that he liked having people even slightly even hint at questioning his masculinity, even if he was a cute fluffy kitten.

"Awww! He's so cute!" Iruka exclaimed. Kakashi, who had come to stand behind his boyfriend, nodded. "He is rather adorable." he agreed. Sasuke hissed at both of them, what the hell did they know anyway. To his relief, their attention turned back to Naruto.

"'Ruka? Why's Naruto here?" Kakashi asked. Naruto smirked at the pet name. Sasuke stared. Iruka blushed.

"He's here to cook." Iruka relented. Kakashi looked surprised.

"Naruto can cook?" Kakashi was getting confused now, and it didn't help when Naruto and Iruka started laughing, which only doubled his confusion. Sasuke sympathized.

"Hai, Kakashi-sensei. Who do you think cooks all those meals for you and Iruka's 'homemade' romantic dinners." Naruto said, not even fazed at the words 'Kakashi, Iruka, and romantic dinner' in the same sentence. This was not, however, the reaction of anyone else.

"That was you!"

"You knew!"

"Meow!" came the three replies at the same time. Naruto smirked, an expression that looked better on him then one would think.

"Hai, Kakashi-sensei, that was me, what, you thought Iruka-sensei could cook? And please, Iruka-sensei, credit me with some intelligence, I figured it out almost 3 months ago. Now that that's settled, do you two want dinner or not. I'll just cook, I'm going to assume that at least one of you can take it out of the oven when the timer goes off?" he asked, turning back and raising his eyebrow at the two. "By the way, sensei, here's the list, could you get it by later today so that this guy won't starve." Naruto pulled a sheet of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Iruka, who took it in the hand not holding Sasuke. "And hold on to him for me while I cook. And try not to scare him with your make out sessions." With that, Naruto headed off towards the kitchen, leaving Sasuke alone with his two former sensei's, who seemed to be dating. Sasuke prayed they would not start making out again.

"'Ruka?"

"Hm?"

"What's with Naruto?"

"What do you mean?"

"He's not acting...normal. Or rather he is, which isn't normal for him."

"Kakashi, you of all people should know about masks."

"Point taken. Then what was the list?"

"Naruto's grocery list."

"Is there any reason Naruto is not capable of getting his own?"

"Hai, when ever Naruto buys things they come spoiled, the metal is rusted, the milk and meat are bad, the towels have holes in them, that sort of thing. When he was little, he put up with it, he would buy ramen, and even though it was crushed, it was still edible. That's also why he ate so much when ever anyone took him to ramen, he was starving, and that was before he started getting paychecks, so there was only so much he could get for himself."

"Because of..." Kakashi trailed off. Iruka nodded. "He'll pay me for it once he knows how much I spent, he cooks to pay me back for doing all that running around."

"And why can he suddenly not buy ramen?"

"He has missions." Iruka stated and there was a note of finality in his voice.
