"The Weasel and His Cat"
DISCLAIMER: I do not own 'Naruto'!
WARNING! RATED M! For warnings of harsh language.
He brought along another one with him today.
Her claws itched to find purchase in something soft and annoying as they approached, ear flicking unconsciously in irritation. They continued to walk towards where she lie and the Feline reminded herself for another time that day that mauling small children was not acceptable... no matter how annoyingly persistent they were.
Yet she would be lying if she said that it was not a tempting prospect. Her narrowed eyes surveyed the new intruder. The other boy was slightly older than the little weasel with curly dark locks lying unkempt atop a young head, dark eyes along with soft bordering on feminine features. Quite obviously another Uchiha spawn, she thought with distaste. Needless to say, she was displeased with this new development.
"Hello again, Tomomi-san." Itachi greeted politely, coming to stand at the base of the large, old tree. The Feline stared at him coolly from her perch atop a high branch, long tail hanging limply over her hind legs. She looked the picture of calm. Itachi knew better to believe that, of course. If there is one thing he has learnt in his time with Tomomi-san, it's that there is little that pleases her (like sleep, quiet and Okaa-san's Tuna rolls) and a great deal more that puts her in a fouled mood.
People, being at the top of that long list.
The boy accompanying Itachi stepped forwards with narrowed eyes intent on the cat reclining in the tree, "Ehh? This is the friend you keep going on about, Itachi?" the curly-haired boy asked incredulously before he sighed and shook his head morosely, a barely noticeable teasing lit in his voice. "I should've known..."
She felt a certain vindictive satisfaction at the unamused look the little weasel gave the other boy. Obviously not the reaction he had been expecting. Bright eyes looked up at her once more, "Tomomi-san, I brought a friend with me today. I wanted to introduce him to you."
No response.
"Ehh… Itachi, you do know that you're talking to a cat... right?" the boy said, trepidation in his tone as he glanced at the little weasel. The boy thought that little weasel has lost his soft mind. This pleased her. Maybe the boy could convince little weasel that he did indeed lose his mind and then he would stop visiting her.
This is good, she decides.
If cat's could smirk, then she would surely be doing that now.
Itachi's eyes narrowed at the quiet Feline, at her tail that began to swing lazily back and forth in a rare, unconscious gesture that indicated her delight. And he suspected the reason. However, he would not concede so easily.
"Tomomi-san, I brought you something today." he announced, reaching into the small satchel on his hip and presenting an unevenly crafted clay cup, painted red and white with the Uchiwa fan prominently displayed.
Her ear twitched and she was tempted. It looked as if it was—But no, she would not give him the satisfaction of a reaction. Itachi did not frown, no, but he had been fairly certain that would've gotten a comment or two from her.
He really didn't want to resort to other methods.
Itachi decided to give her another chance, "Tomomi-san, are you certain that this is the action you want to take...?"
Her eyes narrowed sharply at what sounded suspiciously like a threat. Certainly he was not so foolish as to threaten her, was he? Once more she did not respond and Itachi exhaled long though his nose. She had choose this, he assured himself. In a short burst of speed he was behind her form on the tree, small hand wrapping itself around her long tail.
Then he pulled.
"YEEEOOOOOOW!" She screeched, body lurching up and into the air, twisting before she landed again. There was fire and fury in her lime-green eyes as she whirled on him, "You little shit! How dare you pull my tail! Do you have any idea just how sensitive a feline's tail is!?" she hissed venomously at him.
He bowed his head politely, smoothing out the twitch in his lips, "Apologies, Tomomi-san."
His apology was unaccepted apparently, because she proceeded to leap at him with sharp claws extended. He swiftly dodged her flurry, jumping back down to ground level. She pursued him and Itachi mused that maybe he should do this more often. Tomomi was quite lithe for a cat who slept all day and this was turning out to be rather good evasion training.
"What the hell!?" Cried the curly-haired boy. He was now pointing at the sleek black Feline with his mouth agape as Itachi continued to jump around the ruins, avoiding Tomomi's painful-looking claws and becoming more and more amused by her colorful language. He did not know what some of the words she threw at him meant but he was going to be sure to ask her after she had calmed down. Tomomi began to slow and he came to a stop beside his friend, she halted in front of the children and her anger palatable as she openly seethed at the little weasel.
"What could I gave possibly done to ever deserve such a fucking bane to my existence as him?!" she asked Life rhetorically, curling her abused tail around herself and glaring daggers into it's attacker's head.
Itachi was entirely unaffected by her surprisingly foul tongue as he gestured to the shell-shocked boy to his side. "Tomomi-san, I wanted to introduce you to my friend, Shisui. Shisui, this is Tomomi-san, the one I've been telling you about."
The Feline's face pulled up in a sneer, "You continue to fail to understand, little weasel. We. Are. Not. Friends."
The curly-haired boy known as Shisui frowned, over his shock of a talking cat already as he made a face at the Feline, "...you're kinda rude, aren't 'ya?"
In response, she gifted the curly-haired boy with a withering glare, "If you seek social niceties then I suggest you look elsewhere. Preferably now."
His young face soured. Shisui turned to the other boy and pointed an accusing finger at her, "Itachiiiiii! She's so mean!"
Itachi completely failed to hide the twitch of his lips that time.
