Do you really like the title of the story? I was thinking that it's kinda lame. I thought of it years ago, but maybe a new one would be better. If you have any ideas for a new one please tell me; I would appreciate it very much. The only thing I could think of was CATastrophe... . what do you think?

Chapter 7: Fear

Naruto flung his apartment's door open and stormed into his house. He was so frustrated! Sasuke was getting even more attention than before! It was just a matter of time before he was worshipped by the whole village as "the cutest thing ever". Ugh! Stupid Sasuke! Stupid cat ears! Stupid potion! He had never regretted anything in his life; indeed, his nindo was never to go back to his word and never regret anything, but he couldn't help it; he wished he haven't given that potion to Sasuke. He was so angry he could see red. "Maybe I should just kill him." he muttered venomously through gritted teeth. He bared his teeth in an evil smirk, showing his now longer fangs as a low growl escaped his lips and his chakra flared, creating a deathly aura around him.

He narrowed his crimson eyes and frowned in fury, and then suddenly widened them in fear, as they turned a worried blue. What had he been thinking? How could he have such evil thoughts?

'What's happening to me?' he looked down fearfully to his trembling hands with sweat running down his forehead. He let out a shaky breath and sat down in a wooden chair. He couldn't lose control of the fox; he just couldn't. What if he actually hurt his teammates? No wonder the villagers feared him. No-one could find out; they would hate him too. Deciding he had lost his appetite he took a hot bath to calm his nerves and then went to his bedroom. The blond lay down under the sheets and closed his eyes waiting for a restless sleep.

Sasuke's ears twitched slightly as he woke up, wagging his tail lazily and stretching under the sheets. He yawned and looked at the alarm clock on his bedside table. Why hadn't it rung off? He reached it with his hand, but could not grab it.

"Wha-?" Realization hit him suddenly as he saw a furry paw instead of his hand. The events of the day before played in his mind and an embarrassing red color rose up on his cheeks. He has been so out of character, how could he have acted in such ways? That hadn't been him, but in a way it had. He couldn't describe that feeling. Wait...he looked at the clock again. 9:30! That couldn't be possible! How could he oversleep like that!

He trashed out of the sheets and fell face first to the floors with a gasp. He paid no mind to the pain on his head as he hurriedly stumbled to the closet and took some clothes out with some difficulty. He clumsily wiggled into the grey shirt and black shorts and ran to the door without eating breakfast, dashing to the training grounds.

When he arrived, he found no-one and feared they might have left already to take up some missions or gone to take some special training somewhere else. He frantically looked around in search of his team, but couldn't find them. As his obsidian eyes searched around the clearing his gaze fell upon a purple spot in the ground. His tail and ears perked up curiously and he leapt towards it. As he approached it, he realized it was a violet snake sliding across the grass. He clawed inquisitively at it and it slid faster towards a hole, but Sasuke blocked its path making it coil defensively and then hiss angrily at him, baring its fangs towards its aggressor. The raven turned his Sharinganon and withdraw his paw to avoid a bite. The snake then slithered quickly towards the forest and the cat followed it into the woods, oblivious to the dangers of the dark.

Kakashi opened the door to his house carrying a paper bag with groceries from the store and happily waiting to see his student inside. He was in a good mood, it was a beautiful day outside and he had the day off. However, he still had this feeling at the back of his head that told him there was something wrong. He left it there though, at the very back of his mind. As he went to the kitchen he found Sasuke's food untouched. He couldn't still be asleep, right? It was ten o' clock already! The kid could surely be lazy!

He started cleaning the kitchen and putting the new groceries away as an egg fell to the floor for no apparent reason and cracked -a bad omen for sure. The nagging feeling on his head returned and he felt the urge to check up on Sasuke. He went to his student's room, but did not find him there. 'Oh no.'

Sasuke leaped behind the retreating reptile across the shady forest. "Wait!" he clawed at the snake, but stopped short as a hiss caught his attention. He turned around. His eyes widened and his ears perked in surprise as he found several brown snakes behind him. He gasped and stepped back thinking what he should do. He couldn't use jutsu or invoke chakra, so all he could do was flee. He turned around again and yelped as he found even more snakes behind him, the purple one nowhere in sight. He looked desperately for an opening, but could not find one and gulped. The snakes hissed threateningly and some lunched at him, biting his arms and legs. He held back a cry and trashed in an attempt to break free, managing to escape some of the snakes' fangs. He began running away with the snakes right behind, but another reptile attacked him from above and he tripped as he tried to avoid its bite. The others reached him and wrapped around his body making it impossible to move, as their poison ran rapidly through his veins paralyzing him effectively. He struggled against his attackers unsuccessfully and tried to cry for help, failing to make a sound through his dry throat. His body started feeling numb and his vision blurred, but he could make out the silhouette of a man approaching him. He reached out his hand to him, and then everything went black.

Now it got interesting! Please tell me what you think; it makes me really happy to read your reviews 0w0.

In case you forgot, Tsunade gave Team 7 the day off, but it looks like Sasuke did forget.

Sasuke overslept because of his cat-like behavior, "they can surely be lazy"!
