Inspired by: The small stories we make together through texts.

"No," Was the first word that spilled out of the busty blonde landlady when the pinkette brought out the 'strange creature' from her space in the sweater.

"Awww, c'mon!"

"No," She firmly negated.

Sakura was nearly on her knees, pleading with the woman who eyed her warily, "Please let me keep him! I can't just leave him alone! Who knows what'll happen!"

The neko wiped his face with his small arms, trying to blink out the droplets that had fallen into his eyes when he was sitting outside. He shook himself, immediately sticking out his tongue and attempting to lick himself dry. Sakura paused in her pleas to stare at him shamelessly in wonderment; it truly was strange to see a human-like figure licking themself.

She was brought back to earth when the elder female shook her head. "Cats only bring misfortune!" The neko-boy slunk farther into the kitchen counter he had been set down on nervously, feeling the heat of her glare. "Do you have any idea how much damage they have caused in this apartment complex? Torn wallpaper and furniture, horrible smelling floorboards, stealing food, leaving corpses of dead animals they caught; cats are the whole reason why I made this apartment pet-free!"

The pinkette pouted as caught the neko up by his arms, him going along with the movement without squirming, and brought him to Tsunade's face whom looked annoyed at the whole ordeal. "How could you say no to a face like this?"

Sakura watched as her landlady, who was also her god-mother and her master, stare at the kit—neko-chibi? She shook her head in confusion. She had been waiting for some sort of reaction and was shocked that the blonde-haired woman had not commented on the boy's strange ears or tail or size. In fact, she had been expecting some sort of squeal of surprise or shock or adoration of his cuteness (the pinkette was still recovering from her shock, so she knew she was bound to do it after it passes).

Instead, she observed Tsunade as she grasped the nervous boy's tail and regarded him as if he were a real cat.

"Easy," Her god-mother explained humorlessly. "You look him straight in the eyes and say no."

Sakura frowned, using her last hope of persuasion by dropping her childish pleas and adopting a serious expression. "Tsunade-sama, I'm asking you, please let me keep him! I will do everything to make sure he is obedient and under control. I'll pay for anything he breaks and make sure he is rightfully punished for anything he does wrong."

The woman looked at Sakura with eyes that scrutinized her with thoughtfulness for the first time she had set foot in the kitchen. The Haruno girl gulped nervously as her god-mother continued to stare on, as if to break her down and tell the truth that Sakura did not hide.

Tsunade sighed, "I better not regret this, Sakura."

She beamed instantly, clutching an aware neko to her chest. "Don't worry, I have it all under control!"

The blonde-haired woman smiled, but the gesture was wiped away when Sakura bounded towards her room and she felt a migraine coming. "I have a bad feeling about this." She groaned.

Hihi, why can't she see him?

Any guesses? :)

Not many people are reviewing; Do I really have to do the review-limit thing that I've done in my popular stories? :/ I know you're reading this -_-

Review please!
