I trotted along the path next to my master. Someone was playing music and had their window open so that the music flowed through. I immediately perked up. I started hopping along on my back paws. My master laughed and I mentally grinned. I loved his smile! It was soft and strong at the same time. I put all four paws on the ground and padded along, completely content. A tiny noise caught my attention and I stopped in my tracks. We were in the forest now and a noise came from a clearing. I ran into the clearing and saw a tiny furry kitten cowering against a tree. There was a fox looming over it, drooling. I shot between the two, standing over the kitten protectively. I hissed at the fox and bared my teeth. "Let me enjoy my dinner, you annoying little pest." The cocky fox glared at me and I returned the look.
"Go catch a rabbit you annoying fucker. Leave this child alone."
"And why the hell would I do that?"
"Because I have sharp claws and I'm faster than you, you fat bitch." The fox growled and opened his mouth, his large teeth glistening with saliva.
"I'll kill you, you weak whore!" Kakuzu ran into the clearing. The fox shot at me and everything seemed to go in slow motion after that. In a burst of cold flames, I changed into a huge white wolf with three tails. My large paws glowed and I swiped at the fox. My sharp claws sliced through him as if his body was warm butter. I blacked out for a few moments and when I came to, everything was hazy. I blinked my eyes once, twice, and the white haze slowly cleared from my vision. I saw a hand wave in front of my face. A voice called my name and I just sat there, on my butt, in shock.
"Midnight! Midnight! Kakuzu, what happened!?!" I turned deaf ears to their conversation and the numbness that had taken over my body slowly went away. I felt something nudge my side.
"Miss? Are y-you okay?" A sweet little confused voice came from my left side. "Are you broken?" I slowly brought my eyes down to meet the owner of the voice. I stared at the little kitten for a few seconds. And then I smiled at the silly question.
"Broken? No, honey. I'm not broken. Just a little confused."
"Why?"
"It's complicated." A few moments later, the little kitten looked up at me.
"Thank you for saving me. I was very scared." The little she-kitten looked at the ground, ashamed. "I should have been braver."
"You were very brave."
"I-I was?"
"Yep! Most kittens would have turned tail and ran. You stayed and faced the fox." She smiled up at me. "Can you tell me where your momma is?" The little kitten's face fell.
"I d-don't have a momma."
"Well, can you tell me your name?"
"I don't have a name. I didn't have anyone to name me."
"You must be very lonely." She nodded her head.
"W-will you be my momma?" I stared at the tiny little kitten that I had just saved.
"Of course, sweetie." I bent my neck and licked her tiny little head. "Your name will be Star." She grinned.
"That's a beautiful name, momma!" Something touched my back and I automatically bit it and pulled. Something big fell on me and I rolled over under it. Using my rather large back legs, I flung whatever fell on me into the air and stood up the right way. A loud thud sounded from behind me and my head swiveled to face it, ready to fight. I let out a loud whimper and ran over to the form that was on the ground. My master laid there limp and I was afraid I had hurt him. I licked his cheek and put a paw on his chest. He cracked his eyes open.
"Damn, Midnight. You've got some legs." I almost fell over from relief and let out a weak whine. I noticed how dark it had gotten and exhaustion washed over me. I turned back into a cat and laid across my master's torso, with my head on his chest. I listened to his heart beat and closed my eyes.
"I suppose we'll sleep here tonight. We're not gonna be able to get these cats up." I opened my eyes and climbed off my master's chest. He turned onto his side. I trotted over to Star and picked her up. I carried her over to my master and curled up next to him. I closed my eyes and fell asleep almost instantly.
*Dream*
*Blue strings wrapped around my body and squeezed. "W-what are you doing this f-for?" The black-haired teen's ninjutsu squeezed me even tighter and I coughed.
"That contest was my big break!" She said hatefully. She did the weirdest hand-signs I've ever seen and black dust swirled around me.
"What the hell is this!?!" The girl's eyes pierced through me as she spat out a strange chant.
"You love to dance!?! I'll change you into the only animal that can't dance. You shall be a cat! And because I'm feeling kind today I'll make it good on you. Your true love will be able to see through this spell." The black dust covered my skin and I screamed when it started to burn. And then...

Nothing. I felt numb all over.*

My eyes snapped open to see darkness, but I quickly fell back asleep.
*Hidan's POV*
I laid on my back and stared at the stars. I glanced down at Midnight and looked back at the sky. I quickly looked back at my cat because I thought I saw a woman with long black hair curled up next to me, but it was the same cat as before. I rubbed my eyes and went to sleep.
