My eye twitched.
"And why, the fuck, are the fucking cats in my fucking room?" I asked, not happy in the slightest. Jack gave me a look.
"Itami, our rooms look like we bombed them, your room is the safest place for the cats." replied Chris. I glared at the cats who were oddly sitting in a neat line, watching us.
"But I'm a dog person, I don't want a ton of cats in my room while I sleep!" I snapped.
"PLEASE?" begged Jack, using the Duncan puppy pout.
"I'm immune, dumbass." I stated, glaring down at him as he tried harder. He always forgot I was immune to it because I was able to use it.
"Please Itami? We'll work on cleaning our rooms so that we can move them to our rooms when they're clean, can you just keep them in here for now?" asked Chris. I sighed.
"Fine, but you two owe me." I grumbled. They thanked me and went downstairs, saying something about getting cat food.
"Well kitties, looks like you're stuck with me." I muttered, looking down at the cats. I squatted and took a better look at them.
They were pretty weird cats, and they seemed oddly familiar too.
"First things first, I have to find better hiding places for my weapons." I sighed. The social worker came every other weekend to check my room to make sure I wasn't trying to kill myself or anything. I swear, this woman had x-ray vision, she found all my hidden weapons!
Oddly enough, the cats didn't move around as I found hiding spots. Some even helped me by pawing at things.
"Fucking smart cats, I think you guys are mutants or something." I decided as I looked at the hiding places. Under floorboards, in hollowed out books, behind a poster and behind the wallpaper which was able to be pulled up, and in my pillow. The one in my pillow would have to be moved when she came though because it was obvious that I kept something in my pillow in case someone tried to murder me in my sleep. Or kidnap me. But who would want to kidnap me?
…
Stop thinking about the past times I was kidnapped or had an attempt to kidnap me! That's all over now; I'm never going to have something like that ever happen again. Its back to normal life, you know, brothers, school, weapons, the future. Shit like that.
"We found food for cats!" yelled Chris. I looked at the cats and decided to test their intelligence.
"Go down the ladder, make a U turn, the second room on the left." I instructed calmly. The cats, in a single file line, made their way to the ladder. I watched in astonishment as the cats followed my exact orders.
Holy fucking shit, we have genius cats.
I think we should use them to make a ton of money rather than keep them to ourselves. Hey, maybe I can teach them to shit in the toilet instead of a litter box, and flush it too! It'd be like that thing I saw on TV, I can't remember what it was called but I called it the Shitty Kitty. Wait…. it may have been a Sitty Kitty, either way I want to teach them to shit in the toilet. It'd mean no litter boxes, no smell, and it would mean less chores.
I quickly followed them to find Jack and Chris already putting ham and chicken in a somewhat medium sized bowl.
"No!" I snapped, grabbing the bowl, "You need to give each their own bowl, or else they might kill each other over the food." I looked at the cats, a few looked hostile against each other. Mainly Crystal and Slawter, however all the cats seemed to want to pick on Pooma. I picked up Banana and glared at him, he was particularly mean to Pooma.
"No being a pissy pussy." I muttered. Jack and Chris, both taking a sip from their sodas, spit their soda from their mouth as they burst into laughter.
"P-pissy pussy?" sputtered Chris as he banged his fist onto the table. Jack held onto the wall for support. Hell even the cats, other than Banana, were laughing. Banana gave me a sour kitty look.
"Now feed the cats right." I ordered as I dropped Banana on the floor. I walked over to the fridge.
"I'm making dinner, you two get til then to feed the cats right or else you get nothing." Jack and Chris ran around, grabbing bowls as they poured somewhat even amounts of food in each. I watched as the microwave heated up leftovers, I wasn't in the cooking mood.
By the time I had the leftovers done, each cat was eating, of course a few put up a fight. Those few being just Crystal, who seemed to be a little asshole. I had chuckled when Crystal had sunk his teeth into Jack though.
"Itami, Crystal should have been named Spawn of Satan!" shouted Jack as he tried to pry the silver cat off of him.
"No," I looked up from where I was putting the leftovers down, "He's a Crystal, now stop fooling around and come eat." Chris, ignoring his twins pleas for help, took his usual seat and grabbed a large amount of rice. I gave him a glare, rice was my favorite part of leftovers. He stuck his tongue out at me in response. When Jack finally detached Crystal from his arm, he scowled.
"You couldn't save me even a little rice?!" he complained as he slouched next to me.
"Nope." replied Chris as I nodded. I slurped up my ramen noodles, using chopsticks. Jack and Chris had tried using chopsticks when I showed them, however they both found it impossible. Since my trip to the Narutoverse involved me eating there, I had to learn to use chopsticks. Now I was so used to them.
"Dessert?" asked Jack.
"No, I'm going to sleep," I replied, standing up. I gave them a smirk, "You can do the dishes." I left leaving a sad, distressed, Jack behind as Chris told him something similar. I wasn't as surprised this time to find the cats had followed me.
I locked my trapdoor, as usual, and I started to change. I didn't particularly care if the cats saw me, they were just cats. It wasn't like I had a stalker watching me from my neighbor's window either.
When I had gotten into my usual pajamas, the large shirt and shorts, I turned to find that the only cat watching me was Berry; she was giving the male cats dirty looks.
"If I wasn't so persistent on normal, I'd say you were humans in disguise." I muttered as I started to take my piercings out. Oh! I had a new addition to my lovely collection of body art! I had gotten a tattoo! I now had a black rose on the side of my neck. I wanted the black and red angel wings that took up my entire back, however Jack and Chris, who had comically pretended to be my two fathers, told me no.
I still won't let the fact they pretended to be bisexual go.
Anyway, I gave the cats a stern look.
"Rules of my room, no touching my stuff unless its useless furniture, no noises, and no shitting or pissing. Do any of those, and let me just say that the window over there is a perfectly suitable exit." I threatened before I decided to lay down on my bed. I turned off the light and fell asleep after a few moments. Thankfully my insomnia had disappeared.
3RD PERSON
"Holy fucking shit, I can't believe that we're in the bitch's world!" yelled Hidan.
"I can't believe she named you Crystal." snorted Kakuzu.
"Shut the fuck up!" snapped Hidan.
"Both of you be quiet, we need to think." Pein ordered calmly.
"Sure thing Gibbs." replied Kisame cheekily, only to receive a death glare. He apologized quickly.
"Donald, you may stay silent too." replied Pein. It took a lot for Hidan to hold in his laughter. That 'a lot' was the glaring face of Itami, who was woken up because of how loud he was.
"Crystal, that window has a lovely space the perfect size for you!" she snapped.
"Fuck you." replied Hidan. Itami had him by his neck in a flash. She gave him an eerie grin.
"Don't forget that I'm the one taking you all to get castrated, I can have them not dull the pain!" Hidan's eyes widened.
"Fuck you!" he roared, trying to swipe at her. Itami opened up a chest and dropped him in before closing it far enough so he couldn't get out, but left it open enough so he can breathe.
"Have fun in prison." she mumbled before jumping back onto her bed. The others stayed quiet before her chest evened out its breathing, showing she was asleep.
"Now, does anyone know what happened?" questioned Pein. All the cats shook their head, except for Deidara. He was staring at Itami.
"Deidara, focus." growled Pein. Deidara shook his head and turned to Pein.
"Now, does anyone have an idea on how to get back to our human forms?" inquired Pein, receiving more nos. Pein sighed.
This was not going to be good.
Itami's POV
It sucked making breakfast for yourself when you have a small army of kittens running around underneath you. I think they wanted to get my food. Well I wasn't going to let them. I had better balance because of my training. However the second plan worked, somewhat.
Banana decided he wanted food, and so, he head butted into the unstable table leg. That caused the plate of syrup to fall on top of him. My blonde cat was now sticky, and smelled like maple syrup. In the end, they got a cat full of maple syrup. It somewhat worked.
I picked up Banana by his scruff and glared at him.
"Cats hate water right? Lets test this theory with a bath." I stomped over to my trapdoor and stormed up. I placed his in the tub and turned the warm faucet on al the way. Boiling water with scalding steam came out instantly and Banana jumped away. He tried his best to avoid the water, however it was futile.
However, the unexpected happened. My bathroom filled with smoke as soon as the water touched him.
"Fuck, how dirty were you Banana?" I asked. When the smoke cleared I went to grab Banana, only to find myself staring at a familiar face.
My mind went blank as he stared back. His blue eyes bore into me as I stood, walked backwards to the door, trying to avoid looking at anything but his eyes. Then I backed out of the room and shut the door.
I took a deep breath and then…..
I screamed.
3RD PERSON
Deidara, now realizing he was human, jumped up from the scalding water. His hand went to the faucet and he turned the cold one on. He pushed his burning hand under the cold faucet as a high pitched horror movie scream tried to break his ear drums. It did however crack the glass cup on the side of the sink, then the cup shattered.
He was going to call out to Itami; he was overjoyed to see her. But soon, the world seemed to shrink around him as he found himself to once again, be a small blonde fur ball.
"Damn it, un." he muttered as the door opened again and Itami peeked in. Her misty green eye appeared and searched the room before her other icy blue gray eye appeared. She walked in and held a hand to her heart.
"It was only my imagination, damn, maybe I do need therapy." she mumbled to herself as she pulled at the tips of her bangs. She avoided 'Banana' as she turned the water off. She looked at Banana to find all the maple syrup was gone.
"Heh, no more cleaning for you. Go join the other kitties." Deidara wandered out quickly, but instead he watched from the door crack. Itami sank to her butt and leaned against the all with her knees against her chest.
"It was all a dream, just a dream, just my imagination." she murmured to herself, over and over again like a mantra.
"Deidara, what happened?" questioned Pein as he and Konan ran over to meet him.
"Itami screamed!" added Konan. Deidara looked down.
"I turned back briefly, un. Itami freaked out, and now she's having a breakdown, yeah." Deidara nodded towards the door. Konan entered the bathroom and somehow managed to close the door so Pein and Deidara couldn't follow.
"Deidara," Deidara looked at Pein, "What turned you back?" Deidara thought hard, and that's when he realized it.
"The water, the hot water, yeah"

I'm tired. And I'm going on a snowboarding trip for the three day weekend, yay. No internet for those days though, which makes me sad. Although if we go to the free wifi places then that's where I'm reading fan fiction, and I can read on the way up using my iphone. But once we're in the mountains…. nope.
So, I was astonished by the reception Wide Awake got. First chapter got 15 reviews, FIFTEEN. I was shocked. I was also shocked that so many people favorite and followed Wide Awake. I was also shocked some people bothered to follow me. By the way, is there any way to check that? I want to see who's stalking me…. I'm joking on the stalking, but I do want to know if there's a way to see.
Now, there's also the fact that I want to have an update schedule since I have a story I haven't updated in over a month, another story I updated like two hours ago, and another story that I have no clue on what Shidonii wants to do. So here's my plan, either Wednesdays or some point on the weekend, I don't have anything those days. Monday I have guitar, Thursdays softball clinics, and Tuesday I usually have a ton of homework because I hoard it all then so I have nothing Wednesday.
One last thing, I'm making up my schedule for my first year of high school next year, I'm in three high school courses already, I'm thinking of taking cartooning, sculpting, and drawing and painting. I also want to take the video arts, comic design, and courses like that. I want to be an animator, any idea on what courses to help with that? Or a manga course would be lovely.
I lied, this is the last thing, of the cat names. I had debates on the name Gibbs for Pein, and I'm not wavering on my opinion, and someone liked Hidan's name. Someone also said that should they be a cat, and received the names, they'd commit suicide. I agree, although I wouldn't mind being called Crystal or Pompeii, the rest I would murder over.
Q-What's your favorite kitty name?
A-I think the question was kitty names and cover, I worked hard on the cover. I LOVE my cover, a lot.
