Chapter Two: Kuroneko
Next day..
"Ugh, why does my head hurt?." moaned the kunoichi.
Sakura awoke to the evil glare of a red eyed kitten. She tried to scream but blocked her mouth with her hands and signed to her self in hopelessness. She thought that he would get up and haul his kitty turned ass out of her house but the neko stayed put.
Her eyes rolled as the cat tripped over some sheets and fell off the bed. Sakura got up and placed her head on the edge of the bed watching the cat shake the dust off it's body and slither away out the room.
She jumped off the mattress and continued the day doing her daily morning rituals which contributes to brushing teeth, washing body, etc. Once her ritual was complete she headed down the steps into the kitchen.
What in the world has happened here? Her kitchen was destroyed by a certain Uchiha bastard with black fur. Sakura sailed across the kitchen tiles opening the cabinets and couldn't find the black colored kitten anywhere.
Suddenly, the sound of crunching vibrated from the opposite cabinet across the room. She raised an eye brow at the noise and opened the door seeing Itachi munching on a box of sweet dango she had bought just recently.
"Hey, that's my snack for later. Give it here you damn fur ball." Sakura growled and tugged on it.
Itachi tightened his grip on the box and swiped at her with his paws. The pinkette flinched watching her hand bleed from the mark and the black cat jumped from off the cabinet landing on it's paws thus leaving the room with it's prize.
'Ooh, you got played by a kitty cat.'
"He's not a cat. But the devil in disguise."
Sakura jumped when the big clock atop the shelf struck ten in the morning. She rushed out the house knowing that her new house guest will bust open all the food and chow down without her need of going shopping for cat food.
Near the red bridge..
"SAKURA CHANNN!"
She stopped and covered her ears. "Geez, was that really necessary?"
Naruto held back. "My bad, hehe.."
Sai noticed something red dripping from her hand. The wound wasn't really bothering her as she continued talking to Naruto acting as if nothing has impaled her. So he asked about it anyways.
"What bit you ugly?"
Sakura checked her hand. "Nothing, I was picking in my garden yesterday and then a rose bush pricked me." she lied.
Of course Naruto bought it. "That's too bad. When I opened my chop sticks yesterday to eat ramen it pricked me too."
The pinkette sweat dropped at his response. "Oh Naruto.."
Poof! A live scarecrow popped up in front of them. "Yo!" It said merrily.
"Your late! Quit doing that you damn pervert!" Chorused Naruto and Sakura all together.
Kakashi grinned sheepishly behind his mask. "Heheh, my bad kiddies. You see, I was helping a farmer's cow give birth.."
"Liar!"
He quit telling a lie and got serious. "Now that I'm here, we can discuss something very important."
"Like what?" Questioned Sakura.
"Well, someone has dug up Uchiha Itachi's corpse."
Silence floated around the red bridge.
"That's disgusting.." Commented Naruto in pure digust.
"Any idea to who has done such a ghastly deed?" Asked Sai.
"A nekomata who feeds on dead human's corpse. Apparently she has gotten to Itachi and resurrected the elder into the body of a black cat."
"Aww, I love black kitties!" Squealed Naruto.
Sakura got white like a ghost. Kakashi noticed the decreasing flow of color on her face.
"Anything wrong Sakura? It seems like you have seen a ghost.."
She shook her head and ran off near the trees. Sakura hid behind it ignoring the loud shouts and callings from Naruto and Kakashi. Her heart was beating like drums at the sudden information. They know about her cat, or at least some of it. The girl's body slid down the bark of the tree ignoring the sharp irritation forming from beyond her clothes. If she told him where Itachi was it would bring her so much trouble.
What if she get's sent to jail for hoarding a kitty turned criminal? The thought of wearing those frilly orange duds made Naruto look like a super star during his younger days. There had to be a way out of this.
"Sakura-chan, are you alright?" The girl got spooked and landed a punch at his jaw. Naruto moved back holding it in pure pain. "Gah, that hurt like hell!" He hissed and cracked his jaw decreasing the numbness. "Ahh, much better."
"What the hell where you doing? Sneaking up on me like that."
"I don't know. You just ran away while we were talking about Sasuke teme's brother."
"Which I don't know nothing about."
"Since you don't report to us and Tsunade baa-chan when you do."
Sakura signed when Naruto went away in a swirl of leaves. Since there was no training now, she walked out of the training grounds and went to the market for food. After purchasing some meat, eggs, and a few snacks she made her way home. The kunoichi followed said street lights home and stuck the key into the lock then walked inside to nothing but darkness.
She caught a glimpse of red on the floor. "Any reason to why your on the ground?"
The two red circles didn't answer her and left deeper into the house. Sakura forgot that she was talking to a cat so she kept her mouth shut and made her way towards a lamp. She searched around for the switch and when the light turned on she screamed her head off.
All her furniture and drapes were destroyed. She raced towards the couch and titled her head to the side trying to figure out what was wrong with it. Hell of teeth marks and claw imprinted the spot she would chill at. Flames of rage over came the girl and she stomped her way around the house trying to locate Itachi.
A grin like the Grinch who stole Christmas crept across her face. Sakura had backed the black cat into a corner. She bent down grabbing the feline by the scruff and carried it over to the sink. Itachi looked up and got showered by cold water from the faucet.
Sakura took a few steps back watching the transformation up hold in her kitchen. White smoke escalated like the hot springs and a blurry figure exited out the smoke so ast that it became a blur. Itachi had the girl in a head luck burrying his fangs into her scalp.
"I am not a rubber duck. Keep this up and I'll kill you."
Sakura pushed the man off with her foot. "You messed up my furniture. Adding to the list of my life, Tsunade knows of your existence."
Itachi picked up a long dish towel from the stove and wrapped it around his waist.
"Of course that will happen when you blab to the Kyuubi and drunky about me." He said in monotone.
"I did not blab.." She trailed not knowing what to say. "I guess maybe they figured it out on their own."
"Perhaps your father is more smarter then we think."
"Leave him out of this."
Itachi looked away staring at the bags of food on the counter. "About time you brought something that's not junk."
"What's that matter? Don't you like Oreos?" She smirked mischievously.
"I only did that out of hunger and frustration. Nothing more.."
"Sure, tell me something I don't know.."
Itachi watched the kunoichi maneuver around him going near the groceries. She took them out of the shopping bag and placed them in each self from tallest to smallest and colorful designs. Sakura stopped as his eyes never left her back.
"I know I shouldn't be asking this.. But why are you staring at me?"
"There is something wrong with that sentence. It's staring at your back, not your face."
"I know what I'm talking about. Now explain or else no dinner for you."
Itachi explained his hawk like motives. "Why do you by the food when your father takes care of you?"
"Not really. Most of the times I have to do the shopping, and the cleaning." she replied and turned around leaning on the counter. "Any more questions?"
"Yes. why are you acting lazy and not cooking my dinner?"
"Your dinner?" She repeated enraged by the question. "I bought the food, I will cook the food, and I will damn right eat the food you lazy sack of-"
Sakura found her self flung onto the counter. Her face flushed in embarrassment as the human turned kitty, then turned human again was on top of her. Itachi was holding her in place with his hands on his wrists. Sakura squirmed under his strong grasp and flinched when the door was opening.
"Shit, my father has come home early." She hissed and felt the weight of the resurrected Uchiha simmer as he turned back into a neko. Sakura calmed down when the man reverted into a cat, laying on her stomach with a bored expression on his face. She got up from the table and the neko slid down her stomach dropping to the floor sitting on it's paws getting ready to take a nap.
"Wait a minute, don't you want to eat?"
"Of course I want to eat. What are we having Sakura-chan?"
She flinched not knowing that her father has entered into the kitchen undetected. Sakura told him what was on the menu and hopped to it. She wandered near the sink shutting off the water and took out the chopping board then began chopping unions
While his daughter was preparing the meal, he asked a question. "Did you give him a meal already? He seems famished."
"Not yet daddy. As you can see, my hands are full."
"Sakura, don't leave the cat unattended. In fact, whats the point of getting one when your not even gonna pay attention to it?"
"Well what do you suggest that we feed him?"
"Nothing from in here. They eat specials formatted foods, not tuna from a can swimming in gravy."
Sakura rolled her eyes at the man that was supposedly her father. For someone that despised allowing her to have a pet when she was young, he knew a lot for caring about animals. Perhaps he was allowed one during his childhood and it died of old age. Or maybe from not being able to care for it. She shall never know..
"How about I go to the pet shop and get him some food while you make us dinner. Fair enough?"
Maybe he was more caring then she has thought.
Here's chapter one!
I hoped you liked it! I'll make more soon.
