Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing and I am not earning a profit from this fan fiction. However, any other original characters are my own creation. This is my first drabble series. I just started thinking of awkward situations to unleash on the Gundam pilots and other GW characters. The theme of each drabble will vary. There is no specified genre for the series so expect anything.

"Oddities"

By: Inazuma Akai

Scenario Six

"A Kitten for Sally, Part 2"

The collective noise of the pet store hit Wufei like a sound wave as soon as he and Sally entered. There was also the underlying smell of various animals assailing his senses. Meanwhile, his wife drifted happily through the store. She obviously preferred fawning over the fuzzy creatures rather than the scaly ones. Discrimination he called it. Why couldn't she be equally fascinated by the iguanas? At least then he'd have a vested interest in this venture.

While he swiftly started to plot his escape, the pet shop owner approached Sally and struck up a conversation intending the talk her into buying one of the fuzz balls, he surmised.

The owner, who Wufei picked up was named Dan, found out Sally was leaning more toward buying a kitten who'd been playfully pawing at her through his cage. Sally and Dan talked the necessities of owning a cat. Wufei drifted closer to the door.

His attention was peeked back to their conversation when Dan peered at Sally for a moment before asking, "Excuse me, ma'am but are you pregnant?"

Wufei raised an eyebrow, mentally trying to deduce what his wife's current physical state had to do with anything. He drifted back toward the feline enchanters.

Sally answered pleasantly, "Why yes, I am. Four months actually."

"In that case, you should keep the kitten's litter box in a closed off area for health purposes." The pet shop owner informed her.

Wufei hoped it would deter Sally from purchasing the little runt, but instead she started to brain storm places she could put the kitten's litter box that were out of the way.

With a sigh, he realized he would be helping out more with the cat than he originally planned.

About 30 minutes later, the two emerged from the pet store, Sally with a kitten perched in her arms and Wufei holding a large bag full of items from the pet store in addition to Sally's previous purchases from the mall.

With a burst of energy, the kitten reached up and pawed playfully at Sally's braid which was hanging over her right shoulder. She laughed. Petting the feline, she was rewarded with the sound of him purring contentedly.

"Cute!" she giggled, cuddling him to her.

In the meantime, Wufei begrudgingly loaded the back seat with Sally's purchases. He got in the car, glaring at the kitten in Sally's lap.

The kitten, whom Sally had named Long Wing, Wing-chan for short, hissed at Wufei, his hair standing up on his back as he tried to paw at him.

In reaction, Wufei's lip turned up into a scowl at the kitten. "Keep that thing away from me."

"Fine," Sally mumbled, trying to calm Wing down. The kitten flashed his blazing eyes at the man. He obviously didn't seem too fond of Wufei.

"Hn, he must be able to tell you don't like him..."

"Good."

She stuck her tongue out at him, reaching in the back seat as they pulled off into the street. Retrieving a ball of yarn from the bag of toys and other items, Sally gave it to Wing, and he began to play with it, easily side-tracked from glaring at Wufei.

Wufei shook his head. "What have I gotten myself into," he mumbled.

They soon arrived back home. After parking in their driveway, Wufei proceeded to unload the car. He seemed to be trying to rush inside, a sure sign his patience was hanging on by a thread.

"Awww, he's not so bad." Sally commented, following him into the house. "You've just got to get used to him, that's all." she finished as Wufei set the parcels down on the end table. Just as he completed the task, Wing attacked the bag, pulling it over.

Wufei raised an eyebrow. "And I suppose you are going to try and convince me he isn't vicious?"

His wife chuckled nervously. "He's not vicious... just hyper. I can train him... I hope..."

Sally then watched Wing go from throwing a ball around to tearing the bag to shreds with his claws.

"Hey, stop that!" she yelled, gaining the kitten's attention.

Wing immediately stopped what he was doing and hung his head. The young woman smiled triumphantly. "See?"

Oddly enough, Wufei smiled and pointed to the kitten, Wing had continued his activities as soon as she turned her attention away and with a snicker added, "See?"

Sally frowned, "You just have to rub it in, don't you? Is there any way to get you to be quiet?"

He shrugged. "Maybe,"

The other smirked. "And what might that be?"

"Your head must be in kitten land if you can't guess."

Sally raised an eyebrow and shook her head, moving to wrap her arms around his neck. She pulled him closer and planted a light kiss on his lips. He smiled against her lips and held her tightly as he bent down to capture her lips fully.

Hissing, Wing stopped what he was doing and pounced, swiping with his claws across the back of Wufei's leg.

Wufei's eyes widened as he instantly pulled away from Sally, nearly kicking the kitten into orbit. Repressing a curse, he lifted his leg to examine the thin scratches. They resembled paper cuts. And just like paper cuts they stung and oozed with blood seconds later. "I told you that kitten was vicious!" he announced to Sally, desperately controlling the volume of his voice.

Wincing at Wufei's tone, Sally turned to frown at Wing, scolding him. The kitten had retreated under the sofa after the attack and was still glaring at Wufei from under it.

Moving towards her husband, Sally grabbed his hand and led him to their room, making him sit on the bed. Disappearing into the bathroom, she reappeared with some things she'd obtained from a first aid kit.

"He's not vicious when it comes to me. Maybe it is just you." she remarked softly as she gently began to clean his cuts.

As she applied some alcohol to the cut, he refrained from flinching and opted to stare at a point on the wall instead. Glaring back at her but with little intensity, he retorted, "And what am I supposed to do about it?"

Sally shrugged. "You could try avoiding him."

His eyes blazed with fire. "This is our home. Why should I go out of my way in my own house? This is ridiculous. We're taking him back."

"Aw, come on! I could never take him back. It's just a phase. He only gets riled up when you're near me. He could just be protective of me." she suggested, giving a nervous laugh.

"Then you either train him to deal with it, or I'm kicking him out. I see no other solution."

Taking a deep breath, Sally prepared to throw an idea at him that he'd most likely refuse, but she had to try anyway.

"There is another solution to this, if you're willing to listen."

Raising an eyebrow, Wufei stared at her carefully, knowing he did not want to hear her response. "Which is?"

"Well, we could... get him... a playmate..."

"Another vicious creature? Oh, no! We can't even handle this one."

"Hear me out now. We could get a girl. She'd distract him from trying to turn you into his new scratching post." she concluded with a smirk.

Placing a hand over his eyes, he sighed deeply. "I don't believe this... another one. It better work."

Sally chuckled. "Trust me, it will. I can go and pick one up now if you like?"

"You seriously aren't considering leaving me here with him are you?"

His wife put a hand to her mouth, seemingly beginning to cough all of a sudden. Choking down hysterical laughter, she inquired innocently, "Don't tell me you're afraid of a little kitten?"

He frowned. "Kitten, no. But I don't trust that monster."

"Well, what do you want me to do? Take him with me?"

He nodded, staring at her seriously.

Sally sighed. "Fine," Coughing again, she stated, "You stay here until I leave. We don't want a repeat of earlier, now do we?"

"Obviously." he half growled. He really didn't like the idea of the whole pet thing.

Finishing up with his bandages, his wife stepped back. "All done." she announced, gathering the things she'd used and putting them away. Coming back, she stretched before giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Be back soon," she said with a straight face, closing the door behind her and letting out the giggles she'd been holding the duration of their conversation.

He frowned at the door and lay back on the bed closing his eyes, suddenly feeling tired and hoping the whole kitten thing was a dream.

Author's Note: Poor Wu-chan… I torture him unnecessarily, I know. LOL

As always, I'd love feedback...and constructive criticism...hence 'constructive' criticism...not flames, lol. Since this was my first attempt at drabble writing, I'd like some input to see what I can improve upon.
