The Akatsuki's Meow

8. Training

(Saki's POV )

I can't.

Believe it.

I'm dead! Completely dead!

But not anymore.. except in the world of the demons.

Yes, I'm getting hospitality from cats. (Kitty litter using, yarn of ball chasing cats.) Oh my gosh, the domesticated ones! So far, they haven't used me as a scratching post yet. So now, I'm hanging out in the resting wing with Hikari the body morphing cat. He told me to try out sleeping on the highest ledge in the room located on the highest book case. (Which is very relaxing by the way.)

Even though my physical body has changed, a few past past mental behaviors have remained. Like talking to inner-chan and punching the hell out of shit when I get mad. But then here comes the most worst part of them all.. I'm always craving fish! Sheesh, can I get some service over here?

Cat fish, tuna, sea bass, red snapper.. water? Anything! Erk.. I feel strange. Like this clog of sticky matter is trying to climb out of my throat. My body falls off the ledge and I run towards the nearest bathroom.

(Out of Kitty's POV)

"Erk..ugh.. I'm dying..."

Sakura had just blown another hair ball into the sink; and another, and another. The cat-girl was leaning right in the sink with her hands clenching the corners. After her stomach felt less queasy, Sakura looked up. She stared at her own flesh in the mirror.

A hint of curiosity claimed her. Sakura pulled her body straight, mesmerizing her new features. Staring back at her with less motion sickness was not a normal girl. Her eyes were filled with animalistic slits. Her mouth, open with white pearly fangs giving off a shiny tint.

Those ears, black and fluffy. In the back, a tail flicked back and forth. Sakura brought her hands up to her face, taking notice that her nails have sharpen like a butcher knife. Was this all just a dream? A sick mindless fantasy? Fudge no!

She brought her up to her head, pulling at her pink locks. "Err, this is all too much!" The human turned cat girl groaned. A knock at the door pounded against the front of her room. "Come in." she mumbled.

Hikaru stepped inside. "Good evening cherry-chan.." greeted the kitten. "You seem pretty estatic.."

Sakura turned around with a pissed off look on her face. "How can I not be? I am a freaking cat!" she hollered.

"Naw, you'll get used to it. Now about your training.."

She faced the sink and start raking her hair with her claws. "Forget it. Try again tomorrow when I'm not crazy.."

"Fine. Don't come crying to me when your body is aching after brutal training.."

Sakura froze. "Wait a minute. Hold on a sec.." and sweat dropped when Hikari vanished from sight. "Damn it!"

-Next day-

The cherry blossom was sleeping in her lovely new bed reserved only for guests. She found her self taking a longer rest then usually. Normally the pinkette only slept for six hours and started the day on a grouchy number. Instead, it's like she has slept for ages on a nice fluffy cloud. Sakura slept peacefully dreaming about reuniting with her friends and family until a cold blast of water colided with her bed.

"Meoowwwr!" She screeched, jumping off the bed onto the floor. "What's the big ide.." Sakura asked, but didn't finish when a large neko the side of a sky scraper stood above her. "Um.. nevermind."

It was holding the empty bucket of water. The neko stood for a couple seconds and then stomped away out of the room. Sakura blinked a bit then ran into the bathroom to spit out some hair balls. After unloading the hair, she felt sweaty. So the cat girl stripped out of her clothes and took a long hot bath. Once the bath was done, she found out that her clothes were missing off the bed.

Ignore that, more like stolen.

"Where the hell is my clothes?" screetched the pinkette.

She spotted a tuxedo cat on the window ledge.

With her clothes. This made her mad.

The pinkette launched her self, "Gimme back my ninja clothes!" She hissed in rage.

Sakura found her self half way out the window. Her legs were dangling against the wall as the top half of her body was hunched over. Sakura looked up, taking notice of the cat hanging out in the trees.

"You want your clothes back, yes?" Mewed the kitten.

"Your weird! Now gimme back my damn clothes!"

"No, your weird for laying on the window sill naked. Nyaaaa.."

Sakura went limb. She was sitting on the window sill. Naked. The kitty growled viciously and pulled her self out of the window. She plopped down on the bed with a sign and felt around on the sheets. Her hands tangled with a soft fabric which appeared to be a nicely made kimono. Sakura picked it up allowing her fingers to trace the elegant design.

Some one has broken in her room.. and left a silly kimono behind on her bed. o.0

Oh brother..

...

"Do you like it? I picked it out espically for you.."

Sakura looked down at her apperance. The kimono was cut to her thighs. Legging could be seen hugging her knees. It's color choice of fabric was light red with a few black nekos hanging out on the edges.

"Yeah, it's alright.." She responded with a frown.

"Mm, I guess you didn't pick up on your extra asests yet."

The pinkette froze, and spun around trying to catch her tail. "Aww man, I forgot about that!" and clentched her black long tail. "My tail is still here!"

"I know. Now would you mind following me to the dinning room? Our breakfast is waiting for us."

Sakura oblinged and followed Hikaru out the room into the hall ways. They trudged quite a distance and came across a large room with a tall celing and cheindaliers with shiny crystals in it. There was a table with lots of dishes and cups set up for each person.

Said kitty ran over almost tripping over her sandals. The girl sat down at the table and lifted up the silver cover to find nothing on her plate. 'That's strange, usually there's food on a plate like this..' She thought in distruaght.

"Umm.. wheres the beef?"

"We do not eat until your majesty has arrived."

"Oh. No duh.." She said dumbly.

Sakura watched many guests arrive and take their seats at the table. Live chatter bounced around the table and subsided in no time at all. The kitten gazed up at the table to come across a goddess with long flowing red hair and maroon eyes.

She slowly walked down the aisle. "Good morning everybody. How was your sleep?" The cats answered 'great.' "Alright, we shall begin with the feast. But first, I would like to introduce somebody very new to our colony."

All the cats twisted around to face their mistress.

The queen of the cats placed her hands in the air, "Her name is Sakura of Konoha. As you can see, she is dead." She watched them groan deeply in pain. "Not to worry though, we will give her a grand time in the demon realm."

Said kitties began clapping and dropped out of their seats to met their new guest. The pinkette shook many hands of multi colorful cats and started eating break fast with them.

-Later on-

Sakura leaned back in the chair, "Ooh, I'm stuffed.." she moaned out loud. All the cats giggle.

"Judging by how you ate, you haven't had a good meal in ages.." chuckled a tuxedo male.

She sat up to tell them a story. "Yeah. After I moved out of my parents home, there wasn't time to cook at home anymore.." Then got up, pushing her chair back into the table. "I should be going now.."

Hikari watched her leave. "Leaving already? We haven't even trained yet."

"That's what I was about to do. Where is the training grounds?"

...

Hikari led Sakura down a long hall way. They ended up out of the castle and in a wide open space. Multiple trees were pushed off towards the edge of the area to make away for any training left Hikari's side and moved to the starting line. The light cat went vice versa and took the other side of the area as well. Levels of anxiety filled the air..

She started working out. "Alright. What do we do first?"

Hikari leaped across the battle field. His body was blended in with a quick wave of fire. Sakura quit working out and bended over performing a slow dodge roll. Even though she missed the blow, it left a small flame claiming her kimono.

The kitten was walking towards her. "Your speed needs adjustment. We will perform this over a thousand times until you get it right."

Sakura kept flapping at the burn with her arms. "Sure, if this would make me stronger then my friends I'll say go ahead.." and put them to the side, taking another fighting position. "Come on. Flame me."

-3 hours later...-

Hikari was out of breath, "A-alright.. I.. think.. your.. ready." breathed out the cat.

"I am?"' Blinked out the worn out kunoichi.

"Not really." he admitted. That wasn't what she wanted to hear.

"You need a lot more training then only three hours. In order for you to take on Neko no Baka and her minons, we require our soldiers to be in tip top shape." explained the neko.

"Which means that it'll take longer then that. I gotcha.."

"Great. Now would you mind walking atop that scratching post?"

Sakura spun her head, "Scratching post? Where?" she asked in pure delight.

Hikari pointed his finger to the other side of the room. His trainee mewed in pleasure and ran away on all fours claiming the long chasm like energy waster. Sakura stuck to the scratching post like gorrila glue and started tearing it up agianst her claws.

She has a long way to go..

...

Meanwhile..

While Sakura was training her ass off in the demon world, her kitties weren't doing to well. After her death, animal control came by into the house and picked them up. The cats were shipped off back into the Inzuka animal shelter where Kiba resumed taking care of them.

He stood there, cleaning out the cage. "Stupid Sakura-chan, dying on me and leaving these cats as a memento.." Kiba mumbled.

Hana strolled by holding a bag of cat food within her arms. "Well, we gotta lot of work to do. Since there's no one here to claim them, they're ours."

Kiba turned around and glared at his sister. "Your joking right?" she shook her head in denial.

"Damn it.." muttered the young Inuzuka. "Were sitting ducks.."

"Why don't we go eat lunch outside? That will take your mind off our new gifts.."

Her little brother nodded. Kiba took his hand out the cage and got up then walked straight out the back door. Hana followed suit and closed the door half way then left towards the front of the store. It was quiet for a while while the lights were dim, about to blow a fuse.

One of them centered on a small area were seven kittens were locked up. Each of them were in separate cages so they wouldn't kill each other. A blue kitten went to the front of the cage and started gnarling at the bars.

'I need to get out of here!' growled the neko.

'We'll never get out, un.' frowned the yellow and white one.

Snow ball removed his fangs from the bars. 'And why the fuck not?'

'These bars are bite proof.' Mewed Garfield.

'So what! I'm still getting my blue tail out of here!' Yelled the stressed out kitten.

All the toms quit trying to knock some sense back into Jaw's pathetic ego. He went back to trying to escape by chewing him self out. But it didn't work. Jaws fell backwards and passed out from the lack of energy. While he laid passed out, the conversation continued.

Sunshine put his paws up trying to create some hand signs. 'Maybe we can use a jutsu..' he thought aloud, and wasn't really successful. 'Damn it..'

'Tobi think we should forget about it. We'll never get out of here..'

'What the fuck? Are you telling us to fucking quit?'

'Ignore Tobi. I'm sure that one day a sweet sweet rude little girl would waltz right in and adopt us.'

Each cage going down the rows went silent.

'Are you serious? I'm not ready for that, un!'

'What? It could happen..' Shrugged Elmo.

'Listen, we should all just stay calm.. One day the curse will wear off.' Mewed Garfield.

'Are you sure? I could have sworn that Itachi is part of this too..' Nyaaed Jaws.

'Speaking of weasels, where is he?' questioned Sunshine.

'I haven't got a clue..' Responded Garfield in a bored tone.

"Kitties! Dinner time!" screamed a horrid voice.

'Oh my god, it's Miyasaki the volunteer!' Shrieked all the kitties.

They are in for it now..

A/N: I told you they will appear again, the Aka kitties! Oh yeah, where is Itachi? He's coming up soon. I apologize for not doing a time skip yet. It will come up in the next chapter.

Please read and review! I really want to know what you guys think..
