Murder in the Forest

Gibbs walked out of the house, quickly followed by Ziva.

Abby let out a small gasp and ran up to them. "Gibbs, Ziva are you are you alright? I heard gunfire, and I wanted to come check on you. But I know you would be mad, I could have gotten hurt and I…are you alright?"

Gibbs smiled at her. "Were fine Abs." He nodded towards Ziva. "You won't believe who saved us."

Abby frowned and looked at Ziva. In her arms were blue spikey furred cat, with red ember eyes. "Vlad!" She smiled and walked over and took him Ziva's arms.

"That's a very smart cat." Ziva told her before heading back into the house. "I'll call Tony so he can pick are guy up. I'll watch are guy till he gets here."

Gibbs nodded in agreement.

"Oh Vlad you have no idea how much I missed you!" Abby told him. Vlad purred in her arms. "How on earth did you get here?" She asked.

Vlad looked up at her and gave her a knowing look.

"Come on Abs. I'm sure Toby will be very glad to see him tomorrow." Gibbs told her, he headed to the car following Ziva.

Abby gave Vlad a serious look. "You're not going to run off on me again are you?

Vlad let out a small mew and rubbed his head against her.

Rainfire let the nice twoleg put him in the monster…or would it be his housefolk now? It didn't look as threatening from the inside. It definitely was comfortable, there was no blood or anything.

His twoleg got in after him and strapped herself in. She continued to pet him as the car started.

Rainfire curled up next to her. He frowned when he spotted the forest nearby. Guilt filled him.

I'm sorry I couldn't be a better son…or brother. He said silently. I guess that life just wasn't for me. I'm sorry I just can't bring myself to even think about killing another living thing. Or living as a warrior after what happened to them.

His housefolk said something to him, but he wasn't sure what. He just let out a small purr in response.

This twoleg will take care of me, and I her. He told himself. I guess I can't call myself Rainfire anymore…what was it that twoleg called me? Vlad? Hm sounds good enough. From now on I'll be Vlad…the happy kittypet.

"No! No it can't be true! That's impossible!" Tony shouted in anguish. "I thought Ziva was lying!"

Ziva snickered beside him.

"Tony leave Vlad alone." Abby told him sternly. "He's a part of the family now."

"No he's a menace." He leaned down to get to the same height as the cat on the table. "Your planning something aren't you. I know you are."

Vlad's swished his tail back and forth; he made a small warning growl.

"Not so big and tough are you now kitty." Tony smirked.

Vlad batted at his head with his paw, and let out a small hiss.

Ziva let out a small lough. "Look at that he's copping Gibbs now. So Abbs you taking him home with you?"

"Yep." She smiled. "He's going to love it."

"Ya well at least you don't have to worry about getting a good security system." Tony commented, backing away from the cat.

(Later that night)

Vlad walked through the misty field. It was all so perfect. He looked nervously from side to side. He wasn't sure what to think.

"Hello Rainfire."

Vlad turned around in surprise. In front of him was Rosepaw, her fur was glittering from what looked like little stars. "Rosepaw?" He gasped.

"Hello brother, I see you are doing well." She purred.

His ears went flat against his head in shame. "I failed you…I'm so sorry."

Rosepaw shook her head. "No it isn't…I learned a lot here in Starclan. Everything that happened want as it was suppose too. I should have seen what Foxpaw was becoming but I didn't, I should have seen the path he was traveling."

Vlad frowned. "Path he was traveling?"

She shook her head. "I'm afraid I can't tell you. I just wanted to know Starclan respects your choice, and we'll explain it to mom and the others."

Vlad nodded. "Thank you Rosepaw."

"I will be watching." She told him. "Take care of yourself brother."

Alright really crummy way to end a story I know. Either way I hope you liked the story. It could have been a lot better, but for the first Warriors X NCIS I think it did pretty good. Please review, and thanks for reading.
