Gaara looked at the strange note in front of him as if it was going to explode or something. That strange cat couldn't actually be in the Akatsuki, could she? Not likely, seeing as she told him like it wasn't a big deal. Still, he wondered why she would go through all that trouble just to prank him.

It was all very frustrating. With an inaudible sigh he closed his eyes before opening them and deciding to go ahead and read the letter. Hopefully it would answer some questions for him.

His hand tore of the top and immediately an explosion of pink and silver glitter covered him and the entire room. Sighing loudly this time he proceeded to pull the paper out, having to rub glitter out of his eyes first.

To whatever cretin or vermin it may concern,

This is Nadeshiko of Konoha. If you are reading this it means my amazing self has payed you a visit. Lucky you!

You've been thinking of my purrfect fur and eyes, haven't you. That wasn't a question, I know it's true. Everyone does, don't feel to embarrassed about it little vermin.

Having no eyebrows has to be terrible. Been fur, done that. I have so much hair now it's like I have eyebrows all over my body though. So I guess you're jealous, huh?

Wait! Did you get my autograph? Don't worry if you didn't. I always sign my letters so don't cry. It's really unbecoming of you humans. Talk about nasty and filthy.

How am I writing this without hands you ask? Use your damn imagination. I'm not here to do everything for you. Or anything actually.

Anyways, this letter is literally about nothing. Pranked by a pink cat, but lived to tail the tale. Aren't you just a lucky little human?

The pleasure is all yours,

Nadeshiko

P.S. Send this catnip to Konoha or face the consequences. Don't even think about smoking it.

P.S. 2.0: I don't have a last name. Get the hell over it. Oh and the answer is hidden at the start of each skelepun, courtesy of Sans.

"..." Garra had no idea how to even comprehend what he just read. His eyes landed on the little bag of catnip. A pink pawprint was on the white packaging and he honestly couldn't remember seeing it there before he started reading.

Nonetheless, Konoha had some serious answering to do.

"Hey." I growled lazily, both tails curled around my body. "How much longer do I have to do this, puppet boy?"

A glare contorted his handsome face, but he continued to stroke the brush against his creation. His face relaxed into one of serenity after a few seconds. It seemed he wasn't going to answer questions anytime soon.

"Shut up fluffy shit." Hidan's usually loud voice was quite as he lay against the trunk of a tree. His eyes were closed and he looked as if he'd doze off any second now.

"My name is Nadeshiko." My ear twitched in annoyance, but I really couldn't complain to much.

A small pond was behind me, surrounded by green grass and a ton of flowers. Little waterfalls fed into the spring and caused a calming tone to carry to our ears. I was curled up in a ball laying atop a particularly sun warmed rock amdist the flowers. It made me feel like I was being hugged by my human and I basically melted into a puddle when I first laid down.

I missed my human...

She was a cute one, that twerp. A tiny bottle of energy that romped around the house like she was a grand adventurer out to conquer the world. Her light brown curls bobbed as she walked and I remember trying to catch one with my claws when I first opened my eyes.

The first memory I have is of soft fur and the smell of warm milk. The bodies of my brothers and sisters all wiggling with mine and the rough licks on my head.

The next memory was of the freezing cold and the feeling of starving to death. I hadn't even opened my eyes yet and I was going to die. Of course I didn't realize that back then. I was just a runt of a kitten, left behind because I was to weak.

My cries and mews for my mother went unnoticed for hours until I couldn't call out any longer. I was so confused back then. I didn't know anything. Finally the cold caught up with me and I stopped wigging and trying to crawl. I just laid there unmoving, my life slipping away with the last of my body heat.

Then I remember gentle hands and the warmest thing I ever felt. The smell was not of my mother's, but I snuggled into the warmth with all of my might. A strong thumbing sound filled my ears and somehow I knew I was safe.

"Anybody in that fucking head of yours?" Hidan's voice snapped me back to the present and I blinked up at him. "You were zoning out big fucking time. Sasori already finished his dumbass painting and left. He said to go see him later."

"Oh." Was all I said. Memories of my human still right at the edges of my thoughts. My ears drooped down and my tails hung loosely behind me.

Hidan's smug face flattered as he studied me. I hardly noticed though and started making my way back to the base. A nap would be good I guess.

Gentle hands lifted me up until I was staring directly into Hidan's face. I couldn't help the puffing of my fur as I became embarrassed at the close proximity. Why was I embarrassed?!

"What's up with you?" He asked seriously, his eyes boring into mine. "You're usually more..." It looked like he was trying to come up with the right word.

I helped him out. "Uppity? Snappish?" Well those hardly described my awesome self!

"I was going to say outspoken and funny as fuck." He laughed, his arms now cradling me like I was a baby. "Now what's eating you?"

I wrinkled my nose at him and huffed, crossing my paws over my furry chest. Stupid Hidan. "Like I'd tell someone as insufferable as you."

He just laughed and stared down at me with a raised brow. Smirk fully into play now. "Tell me."

"No." Gumpy cat face activated.

"Just do it."

"No!"

"Yes."

"I said no you damn neanderthal!"

"And I said fucking tell me you fluffy shit!"

We then proceeded to have a staring contest. I was obviously going to win until he stared wiggling his eye brows suggestively and I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Stopping short when I saw his serious face again.

"Now fucking tell me why you were acting so fucking sad Nadeshiko."

"Fine." Knowing he wasn't going to drop I growled and rolled my eyes. "I was just thinking about my human. That's it. Now can you hurry up and take me inside so we aren't standing here all day. I have a nap to catch."

"You're human?" His eyes were now narrowed dangerously. "Who are they?"

"This is not taking me inside." I hissed and started struggling to get out of his hold, which had lost it's gentleness. I sorta didn't want to be put down before he got all grumpy looking.

His grip was nearly impossible to get out of so I sighed and relaxed again. To much effort for someone like me! "Why do you want to know anyway?"

"Because I fucking want to!" He fumed and held me about an inch from his face. "Tell. Me."

With proofed up fur again I bared my teeth at him and hissed loudly. Why the hell is he being so annoying? Oh wait, he is always annoying.

"At least fucking tell me what they are like then." He grumbled when his threatening face didn't work.

In exasperation I floppd back comfortably in his stupid strong arms. "I'll tell you, but then you better drop it!"

He immediately perked up and grinned like he had won something. I'm going to so prank the shit out of him later the turd.

"So you wanted to know where my human is, huh?" I questioned slowly, like Hidan was a huge idiot. Which he was.

He nodded his head once and rolled his eyes. "Yeah, now hurry the fuck up already!"

"She's right here." I used a claw to point at my fuzzy chest. My ears were laid back against my head again and I stared of into space.

"What?!" His voice was all sorts of confused. "That doesn't make any fucking sense! Wait. You're saying that you're your human. Very fucking funny."

"No." I said simply, completely ignoring his hot laugh. "I ate her soul."

He choked and started coughing, dropping me in the process. "Say what?!"

But I was already gone.
