The ride to Petco wasn't too bad. Considering the fact that it was ninety-two outside, it was relatively breezy making the temperature more bearable. Besides, I used to live in a desert before, so moving to a more temperate zone really made a difference for me. Thank goodness for slight heat tolerance! But, that doesn't mean that I don't still hate it.

"Ugh it just has to be summer, eh kitties?" I panted slightly, being the out of shape, but average weight wise, person I was. At the moment I was just passing a few street taco stands and turning into the Petco parking lot. I got off and walked my bike the rest of the way to the racks, locking my bike up and grabbing the kitties from the basket, setting them into their original positions on my shoulders (and tote for Ghast), in the process. Being the curious, and strange, kitties they were, they looked at their surroundings in slight awe (well at least in Ghast's case).

"It's like you've never been outside before, but… maybe you haven't," I whispered to them. Noticing some glances I got from other people shopping around the area, I laughed nervously. "Now everyone thinks I'm crazy. Crazier than normal I guess. Oh well, let's go guys." The kitten's eyes widened slightly as we walked into the air-conditioned building, wafting the familiar Petco smell towards our faces. My own face twisted in disgust. "Blech. Ferret smell," I mumbled under my breath and after grabbing a cart, trudged my way to the cat stuff aisle (my own name for the aisle, of course). The aisle was stocked with toys of all kinds, cat posts, litter boxes, and food. I sat Izaya and Spirit in the cart and gave them a look.

"So… what exactly do you guys want from here?" They looked around, seemingly uninterested. Ghast however, was very entranced with some of the mouse toys. I sighed loudly. "Okay Ghast, I'll get you a mouse and a laser pointer for myself." Bahaha I'll have some kitty fun when I get home. I grabbed the two items and tossed them in the cart. "Well… I guess I'll need a litter box or two. But what food do you guys want?" Izaya stood on his hind legs against the side of the cart, looking at the food choices, then shook his head and sat down.

"Wah? None of them? Well do you guys want people food instead?" Simultaneously they nodded, except for Ghast who was transfixed by the mouse toy in the cart. I dragged a hand across my face dramatically. These kitties are going to cost more than they're worth. "Guess we'll have to go by the grocery store then. I have everything here pretty much."

After checking out at the register, I asked the lady if I could leave the boxes and litter here for a bit while I went grocery shopping, and she nodded "yes" after patting Spirit on the head. I smiled at her and waved, walking back out into the heat.

"Alrighty then. Smith's here we come!" Unlocking my bike from the rack, I put the kitties back in the basket along with my tote filled with new toys, and started on my journey to Smith's, which was only a couple of blocks away. Ah, the perks of living in a large city. Everything is so close together, and there are more than one of most stores.

Two hours later, after chasing Ghast around the grocery store, managing dealing with extremely picky eaters, and having a store manager yell at me while I cried, I finally was able to make it home in one piece with my wallet being a hundred dollars lighter and my muscles being slightly stronger from carrying the kitty litter all the way back home. At least I better be stronger, otherwise I'll just be sore and unhappy. After all this, I realized how poorly thought out that shopping trip was while I collapsed in a heap on the couch after putting everything away. I did have a habit of not thinking things through all the way before I do them. Unless it has to do with school, work or cleaning things.

"Gahh… that was the most stressful thing of my life…" I sighed to myself and sunk deeper into the couch as I watched the kittens discuss the groceries (I'm assuming) with their comrades. "Whelp, I'm gonna go shower kitties," I stood up and stretched my arms up to the ceiling before turning back to them, "I'll make you guys some food when I get out, so behave! You are dismissed, soldiers!" And with a salute, I walked into the bathroom and locked the door, very eager for my much needed shower.

Kitty POV?

"Did you get a good look at the area, Itachi?" The black kitten, Itachi, nodded to the orange one, Pein, slowly.

"I did and it isn't anywhere we've been before." The red colored cat took a seat next to Itachi.

"It's like we're in a whole different world. There are large mechanical machines that people travel around in and tall buildings everywhere. I also couldn't sense any chakra coming from anyone. It's almost as if they're all civilians." The orange cat nodded to the red one and called the rest to his attention.

"Good job Sasori, and Itachi. Until we can figure out how to change back into humans, we will remain in this home. Everyone make sure to act your best as a… kitten until then. We will find some way to undo this jutsu, and once we've done that, we will start planning a way to get home." The white cat had an angry look on his face.

"How the fuck am I supposed to do a proper fucking tribute to Jashin then?" The sound of a muffled slap echoed across the room as the brown kitten with stiches hit the white cat upside the head.

"You couldn't anyway Hidan, you're a kitten now and not immortal. Haven't you noticed that none of us can use jutsus or chakra anyway?" Hidan just continued to mumble to himself in a disgruntled manner, giving up on the argument relatively quickly.

"Kakuzu is right. We'll just have to be pampered kittens until we're back to normal, yeah. At least we won't be living off of take-out all the time now, hm," the yellow cat, Deidara, mused to himself. Kakuzu perked up.

"Which means we won't be spending any money while we're here, how wonderful," he laughed to himself, imagining the free benefits they would all be receiving. Kisame, the larger blue cat wandered over to join the conversation.

"We're lucky this girl was observant enough to notice that we were smarter cats, otherwise we would be living off of cat food for a while, too." The smaller blue one nodded to them, looking at her own kitty paws.

"She seems very nice and genuine. I think we can trust her enough to take care of us while we are in this incapacitated state." Suddenly the kitten with the orange face and black body jumped in the middle of the meeting circle.

"Tobi likes the nice lady! She gave Tobi a toy!" And out of thin air, he pulled out his mouse toy and began playing with it.

"We'll keep an eye on her anyway. Though I think she's pretty trustworthy," reasoned the black and white one. Pein looked to all the kittens and nodded.

"You all make valid points but, I think that Konan and Zetsu are right. We will just have to trust her to take care of us for now, and if she does anything to mess that up, we will just have to kill her later. Until then, keep your guard up and take close observations of this new world around us. Maybe we'll find some clues on how to get out of here." The group nodded to their leader and resumed their earlier duties of watching television. Kakuzu let out a laugh suddenly causing Hidan to look over to him.

"What the fuck is so funny?" Kakuzu just looked to him with a sly smirk on his kitty features.

"Oh nothing… Marshmallow." This caused some of the other kittens to chuckle as well. Hidan gave a frustrated growl.

"At least my name isn't fucking Foofy." The kittens laughed even louder this time looking towards the poor yellow kitten. Deidara was fuming.

"It's not my fault her naming was terrible, yeah. The only ones who got good names were Konan, Zetsu, Itachi, Sasori and Leader-sama."

"So half of her naming was crap," Kisame or "Fishy" concluded. The group nodded and looked towards the bathroom door when they heard it creak open, revealing a newly cleaned Nicky back in her sweats and t-shirt combination.

Nicky's POV

"What a nice shower!" I exclaimed, stretching my arms once again in front of me. The kittens were just staring at me still. I frowned a bit. "You guys are so serious all the time, sheesh. I'll start on some dinner I guess." But first… a little kitty fun, kekeke… From behind my back I produced the laser pointer, but kept it hidden in my enclosed fist. I aimed the light near Ghast and started to move it around. At first he jumped, but after a moment he started chasing it, the rest of the kittens however had already seen through my trick. I put my free hand to my mouth to stifle a giggle as I moved the light along the wall, causing him to try to run up said wall, and fall down on his back. After a few moments of confusing the poor guy I finally broke down and started laughing.

"Ghast, I think *gasp* you are my *cough* favorite!" I continued to laugh (and choke) until I was on the ground holding my stomach. Ghast came over and looked at my face. I grinned and rolled over on my stomach, grabbing him and kissing him on the top of his head. "I love you, cutie." The other cats just froze, and then Foofy started making a weird coughing noise. I'm not sure if he's kitty-laughing, or dying. I blinked and looked to Ghast who just blinked back up at me but, then he licked my nose. "D'awww you're so cute!" Suddenly he looked towards the door, as did the other kittens, so of course I did too, in time to see Vash walk in, wearing her scrubs and carrying her backpack. She looked down at my position on the floor, then to the nine other kittens on the couch, then back to me. Her eyes widened behind her spectacles and she brushed some or her dark brown bangs away from her eyes.

"Uh… where did all these kittens come from?" I frowned at her and stood up, placing Ghast with the rest of his friends and putting my hands on my hips.

"Well that's rude. You're supposed to say "Oh how was your day, Nicky?" *imitating a random lady voice* and then you're supposed to ask about the kitties. But for your information, I have already named them and decided to keep them because they are super smart kitties that I found by the back door. And besides just look at them!" I picked up Izaya and held him up to her face,. "Aren't they just the cutiest?" I said in my best baby voice. Vash just blinked again and smiled at Izaya, scratching behind his ear and walking past me to the bedroom, which by the way in this house there is only one way to get to the bedroom and that is to go through the bathroom as well.

"I'm going to shower and stuff and when I come back we'll talk more about this." She shut the door behind her before I could say anything. I furrowed my brow and pouted.

"Don't let her under-five-foot height fool you Izaya. She's the real head of this house. Though I don't think she can resist you guys." I turned to the rest of the kittens and sat Izaya down. "And besides, I named one Nonopherian, so she'll be really happy, fall in love with you guys, and… we'll have a big happy-kitty-party-dinner-thingy or something like that. Yup yup yup…" I nodded to myself. She'll do it… I hope. If not I'll just have to kidnap her and lock her in her pharmacy work place and she'll never leave! Bwahahaha! Aw darn, I think I had too much sugar today. Thinking evil thoughts again.

"Well until then, I think I'll just spoil you guys." I grinned and walked over to the couch, kneeling in front of it so I could see the kittens at eye level. "Who will be my first target then, hmmm?" My eyes shifted back and forth between them in a very dramatic way and I finally decided on Professor Layton. I picked him up by the scruff of his neck and cuddled him close to me as I took a seat on the couch next to the group. I flipped the channel to Food Channel and started drooling slightly at the sight of steak. Layton started to purr under my hand while I continued stroking behind his ears and shoulders. The sound of the bathroom door opening didn't make me turn my head, until Vash came out in her normal clothes, fixing her waist length hair into a multi-banded ponytail (because I'm not sure if there is another name for it). She walked in front of the TV with her arms crossed as she surveyed the kittens. They looked back at her and I smiled in a cheesy way with my eyes shining and my hands in a pleading pose. She sighed and shook her head. I snapped my finger, remembering my secret weapon, and picked up Orangey, holding him out to her.

"Here, I named him Nonopherian for you. I think he's the leader kitty." She had a small smile as she took him from my hands, holding him closely to her for a moment while she petted his head. Luckily for her, he didn't scratch or bite, so she set him back where he was. I guess that just means he hates me. Psh oh well, there are still nine other kitties left to love, otherwise I'd be out of luck.

"Okay, we can keep them but we'll have to split their expenses I guess." I smiled excitedly and cheered from my seat.

"Yay! And now you get to help me make dinner for the babies!" Vash looked over her shoulder as she walked into the kitchen.

"You mean, you help me make dinner by standing around and bringing me stuff?" By no means was I a cook at all, so this statement was understandable. All I could do was bake. And that's all I'll ever be able to do, sigh. Besides box foods at least. I gave her a thumbs up and stood, kissing Professor Layton on the head before I sat him down with the rest of the kitties and headed off to help Vash with dinner. I had a feeling our life was about to get really interesting from now on.

Foosha: Nicky has a thing for kissing things that are cute… well cats in particular. If they were cute puppies she probably would do the same thing.

Nicky: Nothin' new there!
