First Person: Serenity

Sunlight blast into my room, waking me from my deep sleep. I cracked my eyes open, only to shut them promptly and throw my arms up in pain. That was when my stomach cramped, and I realised that I was being suffocated by something very furry.

That is how I found out I had started my cycle a week early.

"Fucking hell." I mumbled, attempting to remove the purring ball of fur, otherwise known as Halloween from my face. I carefully moved him over to the pillow I was using, where he then curled up into a deeper sleep as he attempted to collect some of the warmth that was still there. Standing carefully, making sure to check the bed for any stains, I quickly ran towards the bathroom - intent on cleaning myself up as much as possible.

"I hate being a woman…" I grumbled, letting out an audible sigh as I closed the bathroom door behind me. I walked towards the sink and opened up the medicine cabinet above. Without thinking, and clearly use to this routine, I grabbed some Ibuprofen for the cramps and proceeded to take them dry.

"I really need a shower…" I mumbled, giving a yawn as I caught sight of my appearance. Letting out another slew of grumbles, I proceeded to strip and walk into the shower, turning it on and not waiting for it to warm up. I just wanted to clean myself as fast as possible. It didn't take me long to clean myself, wash my hair and finish up my showerly duties. Before ten minutes was up, I was out and squeaky clean.

I reached over to grab a towel to dry my hair, but something quickly caught my attention. I was not alone in the bathroom, and here in front of me sat a very… Emotionally disturbed Cookie's and Cream.

"Um…" Suddenly without reason, I felt incredibly awkward. Normally I didn't have this issue with cats, but with this litter we had adopted - those rules didn't seem to apply to these little guys. I brought a hand to rest on my neck awkwardly as I attempted to collect myself. "Sorry for trapping you in here… I'll let you out now…"

Quickly grabbing a towel and wrapping it around my waist, I proceeded to walk towards the door and let the split colored kitten free - in which it happily took the chance. Running as fast as his kitten legs would allow him, he bolted out of the room in an attempt to get as far away from me as possible. "Sorry…" I mumbled yet again, before closing the the door once more, allowing myself some time to brush my hair and get myself ready.

After a good twenty minutes, I exited the bathroom and entered my room. The temperature change was instant, and I shuddered slightly, cold from the humidity-less air. I walked towards my dresser quickly, intent on getting dressed as quickly as possible.

My outfit consisted of a dark grey hoodie with a black cross design etched down the side. My pants consisted of baggy sweats with little hearts with arrows through them. After a few minutes of attempting to decide my choice of hair, I decided 'fuck it', and threw it into a loose ponytail.

Once I was finished with my outfit, I was left with coming up with something to do today. Looking at the calendar I had hanging by my desk, I took note that it was a working day for Alison, all while I had nothing to do. I was rewarded with a few days off since I had completed the piece the boss begged me to do within a short time frame. Now I had time to complete my own art pieces without any deadlines attached.

Taking note of the time, I gave a small stretch as I started to make my way out of my bedroom. 'I might as well go get some inspiration today' I thought to myself before I began to exit my room, throwing on some slippers I had beside the door. They were the only pairs I had left that were deemed 'wearable'. Halloween has made a habit of attacking them as if they were some form of enemy.

Moving on.

I made my way towards the kitchen, attempting to move as silently as possible in an attempt to not wake the kittens who were happily sleeping in various spots around the house. Halloween was the only one who slept in bed with me anymore, and the others just slept wherever they passed out. Once I made it to the kitchen, I proceeded to make myself a quick breakfast that consisted of sugary cereal. I was in need of a wake up and a sugar rush, and this would fix up my craving.

It didn't take me long to finish my cereal, and before I knew it I was putting my dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Bending down, I was hit with a wave of cramps - and I proceeded to stand there as I waited for them to pass. 'I feel like crap' I thought to myself, as I attempted to straighten myself out. Taking another moment, I decided then and there that I wasn't going to be going outside even if it killed me, and proceeded to scrap all plans I had started to make within my mind.

Walking towards the living room I looked around for something, hell anything that would catch my interest. If I wasn't going to be heading out, I might as well figure out something to do while I was inside.

My eyes wandered around the joint kitchen/living room, and they soon landed on a lone decorative vase that was sitting on one of the end tables in our living room. Picking it up, I quickly inspected it before nodding, making my way towards the coffee table that sat in front of the TV set. This will do I thought, placing it down in the middle. Now, something else. Looking around, I attempted to find something else that I could use for my miniature creative 'spur of the moment'. Finding nothing else in the living room, I made my way towards my bedroom, hoping to find something of value there.

Sifting through the mass amounts of creative materials I had lying around in the depths of my closet, I soon came across the box of fake flowers that I had place in there sometime last christmas. I had received a fake bouquet of flowers from a previous friend, and once christmas was over, I took them off their stems and placed them in the box. They were a mix of fake Lilies and white roses. I love Lilies… I thought, setting them to the side as I pulled myself out of the closet before pushing everything back in that I had thrown out, not really caring about cleanliness. Once I was out, I took note of a random box of oddities that I had at my desk. Fuck it, I'll take those too.

Taking the fake flowers along with the box of oddities, consisting of ribbons, marbles and a few random cheap paints, I made my way back towards the living room - with a goal in mind. However as I re-entered the living room, I took noticed that King and his various kitten troops were following me as if they were on a quest. He and the others stuck close to my shadow, making sure they followed each foot step I took.

Arriving at my destination, I bent down and pet the kittens lightly before I sat myself down, ready to get to work.

It didn't take me long to finish turning the basic vase into something amazing. I ended up sticking the fake Lilies along the sides, making sure they were protected by a thick glaze, all while marbles lined the bottom - unseen from the outside. Before it was white in color, but now it was a white to purple ombré. All in all, it looked beautiful.

"What do you guys think?" I asked my heard of kittens, only to have a reply of silence. Feeling the faintest of a sweat drop form on my brown, I let out a small cough into my hand as I turned away from them. "Fine, whatever. I like it, so fuck y'all."

Whilst chatting to myself in an attempt to feel better by the lack of response, a loud thump sounded throughout the house, coming straight from Alison's room. Following that, a long string of curses was heard from the woman inside. I stopped what I was doing for a moment to decide if I should help her in a way. "Fuck my ass, I'm going to be late!"

Sighing to myself, ignoring the various sounds of beer bottles smashing ontop of eachother, I got up from my spot and moved towards the kitchen to pop a frozen waffle into the toaster all whilst turning the coffee maker on. That was the least I could do for the disastrous ginger. When the waffle finished, I had just finished putting coffee into a to go cup we had on hand before I held it out for Alison as she was running by. "You're welcome."

She shouted a muffled thank you as she proceeded with one shoe in her mouth, the other she was attempting to put on as she hopped down the hallway. I had to fight away a laugh, watching her hop around like a bunny. Finally getting both on, she sent a nodd in my direction for she took her keys from a dish near the front door.

"Have a good day." I smiled at her as she proceeded to run out the door like sonic the hedgehog towards her car.

"GATTA GO FAST!" I heard her scream as she proceeded to slam the car door, starting up the car and leaving the driveway like the maniac driver that she was.

Watching her from the kitchen window, I stood there with a smile as I heated up some water to make me some hot chocolate. It was also then that I saw Ali run a stop sign at the end of the road. She's going to get a ticket one day… I thought to myself, shaking my head.

Soon enough, I was graced with a hot chocolate, warming my chilled hands. Just as I was to take a sip, I was caught with the sight of mine and Ali's army of kittens entering the kitchen for their breakfast. Giving an amused sigh, I set my drink down so that I could set up their meal for them. "What would you like today?" I commented, looking at them for a silent minute. "Canned salmon!" I decided shortly after, walking towards the cabinet to grab it for them.

Setting down a large plate of pink fish on the floor, I decided that wasn't enough for them, so I soon found myself setting up a bowl filled with pieces of kibble we had picked up. "Not the fanciest meal, but it'll do. 'Bon Appétit' as Ali would say."

I sat myself on the counter as proceeded to drink my hot cocoa. I couldn't help but smile at the large group of kittens, watching them eat with a small hint of amazement. They were doing rather well being around each other, eating silently whilst in their company, but this all changed when Halloween bumped into Blonde Bombshell.

The yellow cat started hissing at Halloween, all while the other simply backed away, almost as if his face was crying that he was sorry. Then, with a random turn of events, I saw the yellow cat begin to hiss at King. I couldn't help but find a frown on my face as I watched the three of them. King growled back, only for Blonde Bombshell to become puffy with annoyance. Halloween took this time to run around and hide behind Lavender and Guy Fieri.

"Hey, calm your tits blondie! Stop messing with King!" I stated as I began to have a glare down with the little blonde ball of sunshine. It was only after a minute that I realized that I was glaring at a cat.

Giving a glare at the blonde cat as a warning, I made my way towards the couch in the living room. They were fed and watered, therefore - taken care of. It was now time for a break. Moving the centerpiece I had made back to the end table in which I had obtained it from, I cleaned up the mess I had made before I sat on the couch.

Pulling the blanket from the back of the sofa around myself, I grabbed the remote to the TV aiming to find something to watch. I felt another wave of cramps pass as I just began to get comfy, and I gave a low sigh.

The Ibuprofen is sure taking its time…

Curling myself into what little of a ball I could create with my cramping body, I decided on watching Arrow from the beginning on Netflix since there was nothing on the television as of right now. Settling into watching the show, I found ignoring most of the felines as I began to zone out. I did however see out of the corner of my eye some of them surround my person, laying around the living room in different spots - yet still keeping rather close. I gave a small smile as I snuggled further into the warm blanket that covered as the medicine worked its stuff. It was only natural that I closed my eyes for a brief moment.

Opening my eyes, I noticed that I was no longer watching episode 1, but was now episode 5. The kittens all seemed to be either sleeping around me or off exploring, but I gave a light shrug. They were kittens, that was to be expected. Shifting my stiff muscles I grabbed the remote and turned off the tv before standing up, grabbing the blanket that had covered me wrapped it around my person like it was a coat.

I made my way towards the kitchen in a shuffle as my stomach rumbled slightly. Though I had eaten not that long ago, I couldn't ignore the rumblies that were happening in my tummy. "Curse this endless pit." I mumbled, tightening the blanket around me as I popped open the fridge, looking for something to eat.

"Shit." I commented, looking around at the near empty fridge. "I forgot that we haven't shopped in a while…" I took note of the large quantities of beer, our one thing of milk, the condiments on the side of the fridge, and the lone package of lunch meat that I dare not smell, for it was probably out of date.

I gave a sigh as I closed the fridge, my stomach making a large gurgle as I did so. I turned to look at the kittens who were still in the living room, now staring into the very depths of my soul. "I could always eat one of them." I joked, watching blondie's eyes widen as he scurried away upon hearing of this. "I'm joking kitty, calm down." I looked back to the fridge with a small amount of displeasure, only to be reminded of the brochure that hung off the freezer.

"PIZZA!" I shrieked, practically throwing the blanket off my body before running to find my cellphone in my destroyed bed. I found it under the various depths of crumbled blankets, and I rushed back to the fridge with a new found hope.

I ripped the brochure off said ice box and proceeded to dial in the number as I quickly scanned over the deals.

"Yes, hi… I would like to place an order for two large pizzas, one with pepperoni, mushrooms and extra cheese, the other with bell peppers, bacon and sausage. Also, three soda's, two root beer and one coke. Oh oh! Also some dipping sauce, one franks and one honey garlic! And… One order of crazy bread." I looked at the brochure one last time. "Should I get a salad?" I asked myself after a moment, before waving a dismissive hand at myself. "Nah. I'm not a rabbit."

"Sure thing! Your order comes up to 33.27! Would this be delivery?" The operator asked, and I nodded to myself.

"Yup!" I then proceeded to give my address, and then turn off the phone, happy with the amount that I was getting. "Pizza for me, and pizza for Ali. A win win situation!" I giggled happily to myself before placing my phone on the counter. "What to do until then…"

I stood from my spot in the kitchen, taking note of my surroundings before an idea hit me as I looked at the wood on the cabinets. "Hmm…" I hummed, running a hand down the side. "Maybe I could do something wood? That'll keep me occupied…" That was what I was going to do. I decided it then.

"Alright boys and girl, meow at me or something when the pizza comes. Ima go carve some wood up and make something out of it." I said, as I started to make my way towards my bedroom - intent on doing just what I said. Carving some wood up and making something out of it.


Third Person

"The bitch is gone!" Hidan shouted, rolling around upon his spot on one of the chairs in the living room. His claws sunk firmly into the fabric of the chair, creating tears as he moved his tiny paws around, destroying it while he did so. "Thanks Jashin for that. She is too fucking happy for her own good. I would love to give a little scare into her prissy life." He gave a mad laugh.

"Calm down you moron." Kakuzu grumbled, laying his head down on the carpeted floor, trying his best to ignore his idiotic partner. His tail curled around his body as his annoyance grew.

"Fuck you, heathen!" It was then that everyone tuned out Hidan, for no one wanted to hear a rant about Jashin.

"Danna, did you hear that chick? She said she was going to work on some wood and carve some shit, un!" Deidara teased the red head, who's eyes were already planted on Serenity's door with mild curiosity. "Want to go check out her work with me?" He asked, and Sasori gave a stern nod, not wanting to say much else.

The two of them detached from the group, passing a wandering Itachi and Kisame as they made their way towards their owner's room. The door was left open as per usual - Serenity enjoying the company of her kittens when they decided to spend time with her, or, more or less - 'appear' to spend time with her. They nodded towards the other pair before entering the brunette's bedroom, careful to avoid the various books that littered the ground.

"This woman is a pig when it comes to organization…" Sasori muttered, taking note of the various globs of dried paint crusting the corners of her carpet from when she spontaneously decided to expand her ever growing wall. Deidara had to agree, even he was a little grossed out - but at least it wasn't a crusty feminine product or something of an unknown nature. At least it was from art.

"Hmm…" Serenity hummed to herself, leaning back in her chair as she sat close to her desk. She knew what she wanted to do, she just didn't know 'what' to do. She spun the wood around on a pedestal she had set up, taking a hard look of the oak she had resting on top. "What do I want to carve into you…"

"I would say 'light it on fire', but I don't think she would like that, un." Deidara snickered, earning a glare from his puppet master friend. Sasori gave a sigh, instantly regretting joining the blonde on this 'adventure'.

"You don't know a thing about art, brat." Sasori responded, watching Serenity's eyes light up as an idea came to mind.

"I know!" She exclaimed, picking up her tools as she began working on the wood in front of her. Chipping away piece by piece, she held the chisel in her hand as she worked in her strength with every motion.

"I don't know anything about art? You don't know anything about art, un!" Deidara yelled in response to his Danna's comment. At this point the blonde was no longer paying attention to the brunette who was carving away at the wood in front of him. No, Sasori had just insulted his art – and the bomber had to prove the other wrong.

"Oh really? Only someone with a pea sized brain would say that 'explosions' are a form of art. Art is eternal, ever lasting until the end of time – never faltering in perfection. You're view on art is nonsense." Sasori continued, his eyebrow twitching slightly as his tail began to swirl around his body.

"Oh, the cats are in here..." Serenity mused as her eyes left the wood she was working on. She waved with one of her filled hands, but the cats were two busy hissing at each other. "You two again, always butting heads..." She commented before sighing, returning to her work. However just as she placed the chisel back onto the wood, she didn't reseal how close her hand was, and nicked herself. "Ouch!" She cried.

Blood ran down her arm as she pulled her hands away from the pedestal, dropping her tools on her desk as attempted to stop the bleeding. She didn't take notice of the drops of blood falling down from her elbow.

"Art is an explosion!" Deidara yelled, puffing his fur out as he stepped closer towards the puppet master.

"Fool, art is eternal..." Sasori too, puffed his chest out with his new found emotions.

"Explosion!"

"Eternal!"

"Explos-" Deidara stopped, taking note of the red water drop falling in his and Sasori's direction. If he were human, it would have been a simple drop on his clothes or skin – but now he was a tiny kitten.

Almost in slow motion did the drop descend from her arm, making its way towards the two kittens below. Sasori was the first to get hit, landing directly on his forehead whilst Deidara was second, it landing on his nose.

The room sounded with a large 'puff' which shocked Serenity into a frozen state. "What the hell is going on?" She asked herself, the room filling with a white sulfur smelling smoke that burned her nostrils. Waving her healthy hand in front of her nose, she attempted to clear her senses of sight and smell before she explored, but this though was quickly shattered once she caught sight of what was in front of her. "..."

There where her kittens once sat, stood two very grown men on all fours, taking residence in her bedroom.

To top things off, they were very naked, and staring right at her in a mix of shock and panic.

"..."

Serenity screamed.
