Me: HI! Well this is the beginning of my new story "Everybody Wants to be a Cat"! And yes this story was based off of a few stories like this. But it's me and my friends!
Juliana: OH FUCK YES!
Kate: Why did you get to change your name, Abby?
Me: Cause the popular story "Kitty Kurse" has a main character named Abby, which I believe happens to be both our names, so I changed mine to Amanda. Oh, and those are not our real last names, just something I made up in the spur of the moment. ENJOY! And review :)
"Mom, I'll be fine!" I assured her as she kept trying to write down notes on things I had to remember, do, etc. etc.
"But remember to-" she was interrupted by my dad.
"Amanda's 14!" he said as though that changed her mind.
"I'm 15, Dad," I crossed my arms and blew the long brown strand of hair out of my face.
"Same thing," he scoffed and pulled my mom to the car.
After 10 minutes of 'goodbyes' and 'love yous' they were finally seatbelt in.
Just as they were about to drive away, my mom rolled down the window of the Mercedes-Benz, "Sweetie. I know Juliana and Kate are coming here to stay with you for these next 2 months, but don't burn the house down."
"Oh please!" I laughed nervously, taking a mental note to remind Juliana not to bring a lighter with her, "We'll be fine."
"Love you," she smiled apologetically. I knew she felt guilty about having to go to England with my dad for the next 2 months. They worked for the same company and apparently HQ is in London. When they had tried to persuade their boss to let me come, school became a hassle. So it was decided that I would stay home, but my two friends, Juliana and Kate would move in with me, so I wasn't alone.
"Love you too! And you're sure I can get some pets while you're gone?" I wanted to make the promise she had made when this arrangement was first settled out wasn't just a 'spur-of-the-moment-' thing.
"I'm sure," she nodded. Getting fed up, my dad starting backing out of the garage.
As they were passing the mailbox, I heard my mom yell, "Call you when we're at the airport!"
I waved, trying to look as innocent as possible. Once they were out of sight, I ran inside and dashed up to my room. The next few hours consisted of me blaring music from Linkin Park to The Beatles and having my own personal fashion show of things that have been in my closet, untouched, for a very long time.
Ding dong.
My eyes widened and I ran downstairs and slid to the front door. When I opened it up, I saw Kate and Juliana standing their, each with a suitcase and a backpack. Kate wore her usual panda hat, even though winter was just ending. Her pink leather boots stood out against the dark washed jeans. Juliana looked like she always did, with an Asking Alexandria teeshirt, jeans, and a pair of black Uggs.
"We're here," Kate grinned and passed me her backpack, "Be a dear and take this upstairs will you?"
I pursed my lips and knit my eyebrows together, "Find your own damn way up then!"
The other one started laughing under her breath, "She could always just use the magic things you have called stairs."
"Shut it," I dropped the backpack and went over to the living room a few small rooms over.
Juliana followed me, the clanks of her suitcase's wheels echoing through the house, "Never!"
"We figured that out a while back," Kate laughed and flopped out my giant brown chair.
"Meh!" Juliana complained. For the next hour or so we watched TV and mostly talked about our favorite show, Naruto. Or more specifically the sexy organization called the Akatsuki.
"Gah! I'm bored!" Kate whined, throwing her head back behind the chair.
I stood up on the couch, with my finger pointed upwards, feigning a brilliance moment, "Let's go get a pet!"
"A pet?" My Lebanese friend, Juliana asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, my parents said I could get one!" I beamed.
"We need a bunch," Kate declared.
I rolled my eyes, "Sure. Sure. But I'm not taking care of them all!"
Juliana stood up and held her hand up as if she were saying the pledge of allegiance and said in her best British accent, "I, Juliana Dodson, solemnly swear to help my friend, Amanda O'Connel, in raising how ever many pets she chooses to acquire."
Jokingly I clapped, and stood up next to her, "And the academy award for best over-dramatic speech goes to..." I faked opening up an envelope.
Just as I was about to announce the 'winner', Kate stood up and yelled, "UCHIHA ITACHI!"
I fell down laughing, but managed to squeak out, "Yes. Yes it does."
Once the cramp in my side stopped, we headed out to the animal shelter. My parents had left this giant green truck for skate to drive us everywhere. She turned 16 only a month or so prior, but I still had 1 1/2 to go! Poor Juliana had almost 4 left. And yes we will be teasing her about it.
Thankfully Kate drove slowly and the animal shelter wasn't far away. I walked in and was slapped in the face with the animals. Well it was an animal shelter...I shouldn't have been surprised.
"Hello! Are you looking to adopt? Male or female? Age? How many? Kittens? Dogs?" a perky blonde smiled as she pressed us for these questions.
"Yes. I am female. 15. There's 3 of us. And no none of us are kittens nor dogs," I tilted my head and widened my eyes, to make it look like I was just as perky and innocent.
She frowned and crossed her arms, "You looking for one or more?"
"That's what she said," I heard Kate mutter under her breath.
"A lot!" Juliana said while making large hand movements.
"Well," the girl sighed and flipped her hair back over her shoulder, "we just got a batch of 10 kittens yesterday. If they aren't adopted soon then..."
She didn't need to say anything more, "We'll take them."
"You might want to look at them first...they're really odd!" she waved her hand towards the back room, and we followed.
She was right. The kittens were weird. But in a good way. The first ones I saw were in the back corner. There was an orange one with three white dots lining the sides of his nose and two under his mouth. Next to him was a long-haired blue kitten. She was quite adorable, if I must say so. Both were 'kitty-talking' to each other.
I noticed that there was another, much larger blue kitten. He was almost the size of a dog! He had three white dashes under his eyes and two on each of his front arms. Next to him was a small black kitten who looks like he had very soft fur! I saw Kate run in and pick the little kitty up. Only now did I see that his eyes changed from an unnatural red to a deep black.
In the front there were 3 kittens. A blonde fluffy one was meowing very loudly at another one. The poor kitty-victim had an orange face, but an all black body. Off to the side was a dark red one with a black design over his chest. I wish I could see what it was, but it was very tiny on the cat.
In the back shadowy corner stood one lone cat. He had a bunch of black on his right side, but absolutely none on his left. The even creepier part was that he appeared to be talking to himself. Great. A schizophrenic cat. That's not unheard of.
The final two appeared to be arguing. There was a small white one that was trying to tackle the much larger one. The big brown cat had black marks covering his body, which looked somewhat like stitches. If I had to guess, the small one was most likely albino.
"They're purrrrfect," Kate nuzzled up against the soft black kitty, who was trying to back away.
"So punny!" Juliana piped in, cracking up.
The blonde worker looked warily at me, "You sure you want all of these?"
I opened my mouth to speak, but Kate answered for me instead, "Yes she is!"
I twitched, "I have a voice you know."
"But it's not that nice to listen to like mine!" Kate grinned and I resisted the urge to punch her straight in the jaw.
"So are you taking them? Should I get some leashes? Wait those are for dogs, right? No, I saw a man walking his cat! Not really manly," the animal shelter worker seemed to be more talking to herself then any of us.
I sighed and gave in, "We'll take them. All of them and yes I don't care if they're cats, they need leashes."
She smiled and nodded, "I'll be back in a bit with paperwork, but you can play with the kittens for a while."
Kate was already inside the caged area….wait how did she get there? Never mind. I don't doubt her supposed cat powers. I opened the door and was immediately 'tackled' by the small black one with the orange face.
"Uh….hi little dude. I'm your owner now, I guess," I bent down and rubbed the top of his head and he soon skipped away to annoy the blonde one.
Juliana squealed as she picked up the all orange one, "Aren't they just the cutest things?"
Kate, still holding the small black kitten, nodded, "He's so soft~!"
I smirked and grabbed hold of the blondie before it could get away, "Gotcha! Oh wow. You're right. They are soft!"
It must've looked strange. 3 teenage girls holding kittens while being surrounded by 7 other cats. But I didn't care, the cats were adorable, and so were we.
"You guys ready for the paperwork or do you want to snuggle with them some more?" The blonde asked us.
I put down the cat reluctantly and went over and signed all the adoption, "How much?"
"10 dollars each," she smiled innocently.
"That's….100 dollars," my mouth dropped to a gaping O.
She pushed the paperwork in my direction and put the pen in my hand. I quickly signed it and handed over the credit card my parents had given me for the next two months, so I couldn't re-think this impulse buy. She swiped the card and handed it back to me, "May you new pets give you a lifetime of happiness!"
I looked at her warily, but then saw that behind her was the sign for the animal shelter and their motto, which she had just recited.
"THEY BE OURS BITCHES!" I yelled and triumphantly turned around.
"There are children here," the worker pulled the papers back, "But yes, they are yours. Here are some leashes." She passed us 10 rope leashes with collars.
It took a lot of work to get the collars on them, especially the albino cat. He really didn't want that collar on him, but I put him in a mini headlock and the collar slipped on.
"I'm taking this one!" Kate exclaimed, still holding the poor black kitten.
I sighed, "Kate, if you don't put that down soon, the cat won't learn how to walk."
"Then he'll be my purse accessory."
"You don't have a purse"
"I could get one," she glared jokingly at me.
"With what money?"
"Yours!" I twitched.
Looking outside, I saw Juliana walking with the orange cat, the only female one, and the schizophrenic kitten. Since Kate decided to take the all black one, the giant kitten, and the stitched up one, that left me with four cats. I noticed that the orange-faced kitten and the blonde didn't get along, so I had the orange and red cat on one side and the albino and blonde on the other.
"Let's shove them in the trunk!" Juliana exclaimed as she opened up the very large trunk of the car. Well, it was a trunk, but it was a very large one that we had used when I had my old two dogs, so it was well used to pets in the back.
"Be careful!" I said as I noticed Kate was just planning on dropping some of the kittens she was walking over, "And you need to put black cat there too."
"Damn," she carefully put them in and then I followed her and did the same.
I slid in the backseat and prayed that there wouldn't be a kitten falling out the window….though I don't know how it could happen.
Safely at my house again, I opened the trunk and all the cats poured out and were now running around the lawn.
"GET BACK HERE!" I swear I felt like a sheep herder from Ireland. They have sheep herders, right?
Juliana was already inside, but she left the door open, so the kittens came running after her. I let Kate go in first, and then I closed the door with a loud slam.
"Getting testy now are we?" Kate tutted, wagging her finger at me.
"She looks about as testy as a testicle," Juliana smirked, giving me her not-at-all-wanted opinion.
"Don't you mean a pair of testicles?" I questioned, not even wanting to know the answer.
"No. Sweetie if you were any male genitalia, you would just be one testicle. I'd be a pair of balls though," she smirked like she won.
"I'd be 3," Kate chimed in.
"CAN WE STOP TALKING ABOUT MALE JUNK?" I screeched and all of the cats stopped in there tracks and stared at me. I swear they can speak English.
"Anyways…" Kate began awkwardly, "What's wrong?"
"I just spent 100 fucking dollars on 10 cats," I grumbled, flopping on the couch to find the brown kitten with the stitches twitching. Maybe he heard about the wasted money too.
"NAMING TIME!" Juliana slid in, wearing only socks…..now that I think of it, I don't think she was wearing shoes in the animal shelter. Great, now I'll need to wash those dirty-ass socks.
"Sure, sure," I sighed, smiling a bit at her silliness.
Kate sat in the center of what appeared to be a 'kitty-meeting', "Let us begin."
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Pein-sama, are you sure this will work?" Konan asked him.
"Do not doubt me, Konan," he responded, looking around at the fellow members. He looked specifically at Madara, posing as Tobi, "Is everyone ready?" Madara nodded slowly.
The plan was to all perform the same jutsu at once. This had been designed by Madara himself and was supposed to draw all the chakra in the area, this obviously did not affect any of the current users of this jutsu, so the other members would be safe.
"On the count of three finish the handsigns off with the boar," Pein instructed.
"One," Konan supplied, seeing the subtle uncertainty in the rinnegan eyes of his.
"Two," Pein said, while he looked around the room to see everyone preparing for him to say, "Three!"
All 9 of the Akatsuki's members and the non-'official' one's hands slid into the boar hand position. A white light burst from the center of their circle.
Dammit, Pein thought, This wasn't planned.
Before anyone could question this unwanted happening, they all found themselves draw to the center like a magnet.
Just as he hit the white light, Pein lost consciousness. This happened for all his subordinates and his one superior. This would be an unplanned trip that would change their lives forever.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Itachi opened his eyes to find himself in a situation he thought he would never have to be in. He was surrounded by, he counted, 9 other kittens. Wait…other? Looking down, he saw that his former body had been reduced to that of a small black kitten. That and all the dignity he once held had been lost in all the soft fuzzy fur.
"HOLY SHIT! ITACHI'S THE WORST!" said Uchiha twitched his ear when he heard the loud voice of Hidan. Currently, the Jashinist had transformed into nothing more than a loud albino cat.
"Shut up, Hidan," Kakuzu whacked him over the head with his very large paw.
"Itachi. Over here. Now," Pein ordered, trying to look as serious as possible, but was failing due to the fact he was a kitten as well. Though he still had those creepy rinnegan eyes.
Itachi went over to where the leader was waiting, "Yes Pein-sama?"
"We are in another dimesion, but by now I assume that you have figured this out. Why we are in this form is still unknown to us. Or how to get back. What we do know is that our chakra is still here, but due to this….situation, we aren't able to access it. Also, the humans cannot understand us," Pein explained.
Itachi nodded, "Hai. I understand." He walked over to go talk to his partner Kisame when he saw three girls walk in.
One had short brown hair and was wearing a very cute panda hat, and bright pink leather boots that clashed with her pleather jacket. She wasn't half bad looking to Itachi. He immediately noticed that one of the girls wasn't wearing her shoes, and had an odd shirt on that looked like a monster was eating a ship. The final girl, who was talking at the moment had on a concert tee shirt and a vest.
Only a few minutes later, Itachi felt himself getting picked up by the panda-hat girl. She began to pet him constantly and though he didn't mind getting rubbed a bit, this was very excessive. He looked over and saw the Pein was getting the same treatment by the shoe-less girl. Deidara was just recently snatched by the final girl.
Tobi bounded over to the girl who was currently hold Itachi's feet and spoke up to the Uchiha, "They adopted us!"
Itachi's ear twitched, "What?"
Tobi said it again, despite the fact that Itachi had heard him the first time. They were getting adopted. And by these loud girls no less.
In under a few minutes one of the girls had signed the papers and Itachi was being brought out to a….truck? Very carefully, itachi was placed in the back.
"Well this sucks," Kisame said blatantly.
"Hn," was the Uchiha's only response.
"We're leaving as soon as possible, un!" Deidara sat in the corner huffing over getting pulled up.
"No," Pein disagreed, "We need to learn about this world first and these girls will be the ones to show us. If I catch any of you trying to run away, you won't ever come back anywhere. Do you understand?"
They all nodded and were right after pushed to the side by the force of a quick turn.
"WATCH IT KATE!" The girl in the back yelled to the driver.
So panda hat girl is Kate…Itachi thought.
"Don't yell at me while I'm driving, Amanda! Juliana…slap her for me," Kate whined.
A slap echoed through the car and Abby lunged at her friend.
"CAT FIGHT!" Hidan's cat face lit up as he tried to jump to see them fighting. Kakuzu pulled him back down and hit him over the head.
"No. That was a cat fight," Kisame chuckled while Hidan just glared at him.
Swerving into the driveway, the Akatsuki slid over to the side. The trunk popped open and they couldn't be happier to get out. Sasori was the first one out. Being stuck in there with all of the people that irked him made him well….irked.
Deidara leaped over and yelled, "OH THE SWEET GROUND, YEAH!"
They ran around the yard for a while until Juliana opened up the door to the house. Then, they dashed into the home.
Tobi crashed into Deidara, "TOBI'S SORRY DEIDARA-SEMPAI!"
Deidara twitched, but left the annoying brat alone.
"CAN WE STOP TALKING ABOUT MALE JUNK?" Amanda yelled throughout the house.
They all stopped, and many of them started laughing.
"That's just…THAT'S SO FUCKING HILARIOUS!" Hidan burst out.
Itachi couldn't help but smirk at the utter stupidity of it all.
After they stopped laughing, Pein directed their attention to himself.
"Meeting. Now," Pein demanded shortly he entered the house.
The other cats circled around him.
"I believe you can tell by now, but this is not our world," he began.
"No shit," Hidan smirked.
"Shut up Hidan. As I was saying, these girls will be the ones to help us figure out this world. Agreed?" Pein finished, trying to sum up this very complicated situation, which was much more complicated than he thought.
The cats nodded and were about to adjourn their meeting, Kate sat in the center and said, "Let us begin."
These names will be the end of us, Pein thought, already predicting the failure.
Me: Hey! So how was it? It was the longest chapter I've ever written...wow... XD
Juliana: LET THEM REVIEW DAMMIT
Kate: I agree Me: I hate you both!
Deidara: Don't hate, hm. Me: I WILL HATE!
Pein: Well she needs reviews because they inspire her and...I dont feel like talking anymore.
Me: Yes! Reviews make me very happy and inspire me to keep writing! So if you love this story, please review! OH! And I need ideas for this :D
