Serenity's POV:
"Stop picking at your hands, dip shit."
I sent a glare in Alison's direction as I proceeded to itch my sore and tender hands that were mangled by Shadowfax alone. I had been doing this throughout the entire shopping trip, and I could tell the noise was getting on Alison's nerves, and so being the best friend I was - I continued to do it. "Make me." I responded, itching harder.
The feeling of my nails against the wound was fairly painful, but in the end I was doing anything to sooth my cat inflicted wounds. All I wanted to do was get rid of the itchy and painful scabs that littered my arms. My left eye had slowly begun to twitch every time I would try and pick at one of the scabs, but in the end my needless picking only caused more to appear, thus thrusting my annoyance into over drive. It was an never ending cycle and oh boy was I sick of it. Hearing Alison groan at my actions I stuck my tongue at her like a child.
The shopping trip was rather... Well, how do I put this into politically correct terms. Chaotic? After we had arrived at the store, we decided that because the store had a little pet daycare, that we would let our little hell lions loose and play with the other animals while we would do all the necessary shopping. It sounded like a good idea for us - hell we were fairly excited with the plan.
Now you'd think that cats found outside trapped inside a box would be afraid of some things. It could be anything, ranging from people to the cucumbers, secluding themselves off until they feel comfortable. This is what normal stray cats do, right? But nope, it only took them a record ten minutes before they fucked right off to go exploring, completely escaping the daycare people who were skilled at taking care of the odd pets.
Now, here was a question that never got answered. I don't know who caused more trouble...Shadowfax, Halloween, or Blonde Bombshell.
I never knew cats could cause a scene like those three had, but I must say - it was quite impressive in many ways, but we are now their owners so we can't exactly complement their ability to destroy humanity. Shadowfax had made a mess out of various catnip toys, scattering them all around the aisles and dismembering them, all while Halloween had found where the feather toys were, and had decided to pluck off all the feathers one by one, almost as if it were a game! Blonde Bombshell was sitting casually close by, licking his paw and giving off what looked like a snicker.
After finding Hero and Noir wandering off in one of the aisles - only then had we found out that our kitties were destroying the store. We did our part and collected all of them - kitten by kitten. We got off fairly well since only three of our kittens were dip shits, while the others were found just like Hero and Noir had, so the store owner's were willing to let us slide. We should have bought the cat carrier first. That way we could have avoided all this bullshit in the first place. But alas, we are never allowed back in that store ever again.
Back in present time, here I was sitting on the couch in the living room - all while Ali was sitting in a chair close by - looking annoyed at my need to pick at the scabs that still lined my hand. I was in the process of ignoring Halloween's attempt to make peace with me. He kept pressing himself against my leg, attempting to get some reaction from me but I kept my ground. Though I am a cheerful person in general, I won't lie when I say dealing with the shop owners left a sour taste in my mouth.
"I still don't understand why you want to keep these fucks after what they did today." Alison commented, poking shadowfax in the stomach, causing him to attempt to swipe at her. "Though might I add, most of them are chill, but we should at least get rid of this guy here. I'm kinda upset I used 'Shadowfax' on you."
I let out a string of curses in my native language as I finished picking at my scabs. I had hit one that hurt - and the situation wasn't helping. "We are keeping all of them - even if it means we have to teach them obedience and train them the hard way." I stated, allowing my eyes to land on Halloween who was still attempting to rub himself against my leg.
"I don't understand you." Alison mumbled before giving a loud sigh, adjusting herself so that she was now sitting up properly. Silence filled the room for a few minutes after, until she grumbled lightly. "You know what? I'm a forgiving person, I'll give these little fucks two more chances, but after those are up - Shadowfax is being sent to the pound."
"You hear that Shadow?" I commented, picking up Halloween and placing him on my lap, finally allowing myself to succumb to the kitten cuteness. "You better behave or your butt is heading to the pound - and no kitty should ever have to go to the pound." I allowed myself to start brushing Halloween who was now purring against my lap.
"Please stop baby talking the cats." Ali mumbled before pulling herself off the chair she had been sitting on and heading towards the fridge - intent on grabbing a beer. "They are not babies. Then again, babies shouldn't even be baby talked."
"You are just jealous because I don't baby talk you." I mocked, making various kissy faces as my voice retained its 'babying' tone. She scowled lightly and walked back towards the living room before bopping my head with the chilled beer bottle that was in her hand, causing me to wince.
"Oh yes, I am one-hundred percent jealous that you don't baby talk me." She threw herself back down, popping the bottle open up with her shirt before taking a huge drink all while I was nursing the bump that was now on my head.
"I'm starting to think this relationship is turning abusive." I pouted, picking up Halloween and putting his furry body against my neck. "I want a divorce, and custody of the kids."
"Take them, please." She sent me a smirk before she brought her spare hand to pet 'Guy Fieri' who was sitting near her person. "Anyways, put on the TV. I want to see if Maury is on - I need some drama in my life that doesn't involve you or me." I gave a laugh before nodding, grabbing the nearby controller and putting on the television - allowing us to finally calm down over the very eventful day that we had to sit though.
Little did we know, the cats were planning under our very noses. As far as we were concerned - they were just a bunch of adventurous kittens, but we were far from the truth.
Akatsuki's POV:
"Tobi is sorry!" Tobi mewed, rubbing himself against his owner's neck with everything he could muster. He was still in the mind set that she was mad at them - and she probably still was, so he was making sure to put his kitten looks to use - but as far as everyone else was concerned, he was being a nuisance.
"Did you see the fucking look on those bitches faces?" Hidan barked, still amused by what had happened earlier within the odd store they had visited. Yes he was involved with the destruction of various toys, and at the same time - yes he would do it again. To him it was just a bit of fun - but to the others, like Tobi - he was currently seen as a nuisance.
"You are an idiot Hidan." Kakuzu commented, tail twitching with annoyance as his eyes squinted in on his albino partner. Hidan upon hearing the response glared at the stitched miser before letting out a his, his fur becoming spiked and shaggy.
"Fuck you asshole! If you didn't have your money up your ass you would be out there having fun like me." Hidan attempted to close in on his partner, but Kakuzu just barely blinked at him - unfazed by his behaviour. This only angered Hidan more, but before he could attempt something - he couldn't help but turn his head towards their leader once he felt a chilling gaze on his person.
"Calm yourself Hidan." Pein bellowed, attempting to keep his composure as the ginger haired woman continued to subconsciously pet him. It was causing him to use everything he could in order to restrain himself from lashing out at said woman for petting him, for he was a God - and God's shouldn't be treated as house pets. "Not only are you making a fool of yourself, but you are also giving us a bad name."
"We are a bunch of fucking cats, why the hell do you care if we get a bad name?" The Jashinist commented, but whatever confidence that allowed him to make said comment suddenly diminished as Pein's glare intensified - piercing daggers into his skull.
"These women are currently housing us without issues, and I intend to keep making them house us until we can figure out a way to return home." Alison retracted her hand from the ginger Akatsuki leader, and he took this chance to run away from the woman as fast as he could, jumping down from his spot on the chair. Alison frowned at the cat's reaction, but returned to watching the television with no issues.
"Well fuck you then." Serenity giggled from her spot on the couch before pulling Tobi away from her neck, putting the multi-colored kitten on the floor.
"Maybe the cats don't like you." The brunette commented, and she couldn't help but deepen her smile as the ginger's face turned into a bored expression.
"I don't particularly care if they like me or not." With that, she turned her attention away from her friend and proceeded to ignore her as she continued watching her show. "He isn' the father."
"This show is quite odd. What do you think Itachi?" Kisame commented, turning his attention from the TV before turning on his partner who was happily lounging on the carpeted floor.
"Hn." The Uchiha hummed, tail twitching slightly as he nuzzled his furred face against the carpet before closing his eyes. Kisame frowned at the lack of response from his partner before shrugging and turning his attention back on the show, grabbing the entertainment while he could. Being a cat wasn't the most entertaining for a bunch of criminals.
"Zetsu." Pein called out, eyes scanning the large living room for the split toned cat who had gone off exploring. Once said cat returned, he dipped his head in respect before sitting himself in front of the Akatsuki leader. "Report."
"From what we have gathered, this world is much different than ours." His dark side started, and with those words he had his fellow felines attention. "It appears the world we are in is much more technologically advanced. Those moving boxes that we were in earlier is a prime example of that. It is also clear that these girls are civilians with no shinobi training. We do not know if it is these cat bodies, but from what we can tell, we sense no chakra - even from us."
"This could be a problem." Sasori commented, followed with a long sigh. He just as everyone else had sensed something wrong with their chakra, but that seemed like a minor issue on the list they were compiling. Oh yes, for him that was very true, and you are probably sitting there and asking yourself - why? Well, for one - he was no long in his puppet body.
It was something the puppet master has dreaded - the thought of returning to a human like body, but this was something even more terrifying. In a matter of hours from the frightening experience of being turned into a cat, he was slapped with hunger, fatigue and emotions all at once. His idiotic partner found it amusing, the fact that his once near immortal partner suddenly had to eat and sleep, and oh was Sasori loathing everything. He was far from okay. "What are we going to do about this?"
"Maybe the girls are the solution to the problem!" Tobi yelled, hopping happily towards the other Akatsuki members. Deidara's ears twitched as the swirly masked man approached them, but he refrained from making a comment.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Hidan gave a howl as he dropped to the floor - barely able to contain himself. "Those bitches? Nah, no fucking way. If that were the fucking case - those dipshit kids would have been our fucking 'solution'." Kakuzu frowned at the sound of his partners voice, and without missing a beat - comment on if Hidan even knew what solution meant. "Fuck you Kakuzu!"
"Hidan." Pein's voice boomed, and before Hidan could comment - Kakuzu bopped him on the head, shutting him up indefinitely. "Stop being so childish - there are still many questions that have yet to be answered. For now we will learn what we can of the girls - and if they prove to be a nuisance, we will dispose of them accordingly. Now, return to acting as cats - they are watching us strangely." Their eyes turned to watch Serenity, who was watching them with interest.
Yes, for now they will act like cats and gather information when they can, for without chakra - that was the most they could do.
Serenity's POV:
I couldn't help but watch the felines of the house with amusement meow softly back and forth at each other. I found them more interesting than the show that we had been watching at the moment. When they turned to look at me I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine, and soon enough they were walking off in different directions - attempting to do their own thing. Odd… I gave a light shrug.
I felt a yawn pass through my lips as the tiredness of my eyes started to warn me of impending sleep caused from boredom. I brought my eyes to look towards the clock that rested near the television. I couldn't help but sigh as I caught sight of the time it read, 2:34PM. A light rumbling filled the air and I looked at my stomach and cursed my need for nutrition. Getting up, I noticed Alison glance at me before she took a moment to look at the clock before nodding, returning to her show.
Walking around the cats, I had to dodge a few - mainly Halloween so I wouldn't step on him, or Blonde Bombshell for that matter, who was now happily chasing him around the room. It wasn't long before I reached the kitchen, where I then started working on our lunch. We deserve a treat after what we went threw at the store.
Looking into the fridge I pulled out the fresh salmon and tuna, and I set them both on the counter I got out rice and other necessities, and soon enough I was ready to prepare a Japanese meal for myself. Alison wasn't the biggest fan of fish, so I pulled out the ingredients to put together a German salami sandwich to go with her beer, but for now - I set it aside as I made Nigiri.
Putting everything together rather quickly, I cleaned up the mess I made while getting out my favorite drink, Ginjo-Shu Sake. Setting Ali's sandwich on the end table next to her I set up some more canned tuna and cream for the kittens before I returned to my spot, sake and nigiri in hand.
Finishing my food I set the plate down to enjoy my alcoholic drink. Looking at my scabs on my skin, I glowered at them as I sipped my sake. It was no use picking at them now – I could already tell they was going to be some scaring. Giving a grumbling sigh, I found myself turning my attention towards the show Ali had switched to as I sipped my drink, but I was soon distracted once I saw King was sitting on the arm of the couch, close by.
He quickly noticed my gaze and switched his eyes towards mine as I brought my hand over to pet the top of his head. He didn't growl or scratch at me like Shadowfax had previously, all in all he just seem to not completely care. Happily smiling with his reaction, I leaned back in my seat and continued my subconscious routine of petting my Kitty King.
It wasn't like after I started drinking my sake I started to feel buzzed. Though it wasn't my plan to get drunk in the first place, I was pleasantly happy with the feeling I was receiving, so with that I placed my cup down to forbid myself from drinking any more. I was content where I was.
"Now, will you actually play with me if I attempt it?" I asked myself, picking up one of the smaller toys we had picked up. The red kitten squinted his eyes before blinking, giving a light huff as I brought the toy closer to his body. "Please?" I asked him quietly, and I watched as he stretched out a hesitant paw – swiping at the toy once before bringing his paw back and tucking it underneath his body.
"What a boring cat." Alison commented, standing from her spot and picking up our dirty dishes – intent on placing them in the sink and fetching another beer. I gave out a puff before sending a glare in her direction – but she only responded with a low chuckle. "Oy, I'm just stating the truth here."
"King isn't boring." I mumbled, petting him softly on the head and watching as his ears dipped, closing his eyes with content. "He probably is just... Adjusting!"
"If that is his way of adjustment, I'll happily take it. Anyway is better then Shadow's way." Said albino kitten then let out a very loud puff, but didn't do much else. Alison walked back into the living room with several beer's in hand before looking at her kittens with a mix of annoyance and 'ugh, lets get this over with'. "I'm going to go get wasted in my room, so those who are with me – get your asses over here so I can keep you under my watch."
To our amazement, we watched as the cats exchanged odd looks before her group proceeded to stand and walk over to her. She sent me an odd look before opening her mouth – clearly not expecting them to be able to understand what she was saying, let alone do it on command. "I am really uncomfortable right now." I mumbled.
"Maybe we can train these fucks." She stated, before shaking the shock off her face and giving a light shrug. "Thank god I have some exciting kitties while you have sir 'hit the toy once and be done with it'."
"Go away, Ali." She sent me a smirk before waving her goodbye – various beer's still in hand and her group of kittens following hesitantly behind, consisting of Noir, Guy Fieri, Lavender, Blonde Bombshell and lastly Shadowfax, who looked glum.
Once they left the room, I turned my eyes towards my group of kitties. I gave a devilish smirk before leaning in towards king – becoming uncomfortably close for the kittens liking before I whispered in his ear – an evil plan in mind.
"How about we play dress-up?"
Alison's POV:
"Alright." I started, closing my bedroom door behind me once all of the kittens that were under my supervision entered the room. I walked towards my computer desk and placed the various beer bottles down before throwing myself on my computer chair with an exhausted sigh. "I'm going to lay down a few house rules since I doubt Serenity will actually set some – but let me warn you all, I will enforce them."
I took note of their curious kitten eyes, watching as they all proceeded to different ends of the room while watching me. "I know you guys are smart kittens, so I expect you to at least make it look like you guys are acknowledge my rules even if you don't understand." I pulled one of the bottles from my desk and popped it open with my shirt with a satisfying 'pop'.
"First thing is first." I pointed towards Shadow as I brought the bottle to my lips, gulping down the bitter liquid. Once I was finished, I lowered my hand. "Shadowfax, so help me god if you destroy any more of my shit, I will get you neutered first thing in the morning. If the vet won't do it, I'll do it myself." I proceeded to make snipping noises and pose my fingers as scissors – but the cat showed no fear. If anything, he looked amused. "You think I'm joking, but I'm not little fucker."
"Next." I turned towards the other kittens where were watching with mild interest. "When and if we go out in public – please stick near us or stay where we put you. I actually really liked going to that pet story – they had really cute window dogs." I gave a sigh, before rubbing my face tiredly. "Why is it only hitting me now that I am talking to a bunch of cats. You guys don't even understand me do you? Just going on your feline instinct."
I watched my cats with interest with my remark, waiting to see if they would respond in any way – but there was little to none. Blonde just hopped on the bed and proceeded to go to sleep, Shadowfax proceeded to start attacking said Blonde kitten's tail, Guy Fieri and Lavender fucked off somewhere in my room, and Noir sat there in the middle of my bedroom – looking around with squinted eyes. "Figures." I mumbled, before turning myself around and turning on my computer – intent on playing some games.
I hummed lightly as my computer turned on, clicking until the log in screen popped up – showing my name and a picture of me and Serenity during the new year. I gave a small smile before I brought my hands up to type in my information – but was stopped once I felt the table jolt. I turned my head towards where I felt the sudden movement – and to my surprise – Noir casually walked towards me, eyes locked on the computer screen.
"Aren't you a curious cat." I stated, bringing my hand over to scratch the top of his head – earning little to no reaction except a slight vibration from light purring. I gave a smile as I watched him move closer before sitting down beside my keyboard. "Interested in what I'm doing, eh?" I waited for a response – but yet again, I received none. Shrugging my shoulders, i brought my hands back to the keyboard and entered my password – watching as the screen changed to show my screen saver.
Only then did I receive any response from the little kitty by my side, but I was too busy paying attention to the computer.
It was a picture all of the Akatsuki members, put together in chibi forms.
The kittens eyes dilated and his tail slowly began to twitch as I proceeded to play around on my desktop – unaware of said kittens intensified gaze switching in between me and the computer. "I wonder if anyone is online." I said to myself, completely lost to the online world as I grabbed my beer bottle and took a sip.
Little did I know – I had shown my kitten something I shouldn't have, for now there was an unheard elephant in the room.
A/N: A little bit of a smaller chapter – but to be honest, we were having a little bit of a hard time writing this one! We promise the next chapter will be much longer and with more detail – it takes time to create chapters and get them out.
Tell us what you think of the story – how it is going and what you guys think we should add to it! If you guys have any constructive criticism as well – let us know! We learn from our mistakes, and we would like to improve when we can!
I would like to thank AmbertheCat for writing this story with me – it is very fun and I am happy to have this opportunity! Thank you guys as well for checking out the story and sticking around! We love your faces – and we will see you all next chapter!
Hopefully sooner rather then later.
Okay – bye now!
