Kuro blinked. The church cat stared at her, as if expecting something. His green eyes were dark, holding a certain superiority to them.
She huffed. "Your giving me that look." She said as she tugged on the hem of her baggy shirt. His tail flicked, his eyes not moving from her. "You know I hate when you give me that look." She tossed her backpack over her unscarred shoulder. His tail flicked again.
"Meow." His dark green eyes flashed with anger momentarily. Kuro sighed and walked over to the door, pausing with her hand on the knob as she looked at him.
"You know I cant take you with me." She watched as his tail started to flick wildly. Of course she knew exactly what he wanted. They had this dispute before. "I don't have a home myself, you should stay with the church people." The cat raised his head, his eyes narrowed in defiance. A small smile tugged at her lips as she opened the door and walked right into a wall.
Not a wall. A very tall person. With lots of muscles.
"Ohh, who are you?" Hard arms wrapped around her, pulling her against the hard plains of muscles. It was like being trapped by between a rock and a hard place.
Kuro bristled. Both being touched, and being trapped didn't go well with her. Anger built-in her chest. She swore the scar on her shoulder started to burn like it was on fire again.
"Get the fuck off me." The arms loosened enough for her to push the person harshly away. It was like pushing a wall.
Her eyes traveled up the person's wall-like frame. She blinked, not believing who it was. The blue skin, along with the darker blue messy hair couldn't have been anyone else.
It was an Akatsuki member, the one that went by the name of Kisame. He was a strange guy, he had all his skin tattooed blue, with gill marks on his cheeks. What was worst, was his enormous hight that literally towered over her.
Kuro could use him as a person transport vehicle, if she wanted. He was so big he probably wouldn't even notice. Though, she would have troubles getting into his back...
"Hey, your cat is kind of creeping me out." Kisame's voice brought her back to the real world. Blinking, she followed his eyes to her feet. The cat sat in front of her, his gaze challenging the blue male.
Kuro sighed. It seemed the cat really wasn't going to let her leave his sight.
"Please forgive him. He hasn't let anyone close since..." She trailed off, realizing she probably shouldn't be talking to an Akatsuki member. They were known to be dangerous and feared. Even tho she talked back to Pein awhile ago. This wall-like person was another story.
In school, they even had their own little corner that no one dared go near. She liked to watch them sometimes, she enjoyed watching how they interacted. They were known to be Konaha's lead gang, yet she couldn't help but notice how kind they were to each other. Almost like a family.
Kuro blinked when she felt something brush against her leg. She looked down to see the church cat watching the male. She grinned. The cat was way too overprotective.
"Whats his name?" Kuro looked back up at the sound of Kisames raspy voice, surprised to see the giant blue man still standing there. She was sure he would have left by now.
"I don't know..." She tilted her head, thinking. For as long as she could remember, she just called him the church cat.
A playful look crossed Kisame's sharp features. "You mean you didn't name him, yet he's your cat?" His rough voice was raspy, but pleasant in its own way. She didn't feel like correcting him on the cat being hers, since the cat intended on following her.
"He has a name, I just never asked." Kuro's eyes trailed to the cat that pushed himself against her leg again. She smiled softly at him, knowing he wasn't going to leave her.
A suspicious noise coming from the blue person made her look up. He had his hand over his mouth, his eyes shut as if... He was containing laughter.
She narrowed her eyes at him, her lips pursing. She hated being laughed at.
"Let's go..." She started walking, the cat padding next to her. She didn't get far before he called out to her.
"Wait..!" She looked back, the blue man's large shoulders were still shaking with laughter. She huffed, watching as he attempted to contain himself.
"What?" She tried to soften her cold tone, seeing the sincerity in his eyes-despite his laughter. She didn't know the Akatsuki showed that expression to anyone outside their group. She waited, silently cursing her curios nature.
Underneath her shirt, her shoulder was warm. She flinched slightly, but managed to ignore it. It wasn't a strong pain anyway.
"I'm sorry, it's just your wording." With two long strides, he was standing in front of her again.
For the second time, the thought of him being her transport vehicle passed threw her mind. She shook it away quickly. There was no way an Akatsuki member would even talk to her.
Yet. There was one conversing with her right now.
"My wording?" She asked, her eyes searching the blue mans face. His lips pulled into an amused grin, making her wary. It looked almost predatory, with his sharp teeth glinting in the light. Inhumanly sharp teeth, she blinked, the teeth going back to normal. She brushed it off, it was probably just her imagination.
"You said ask. Like, talk to the cat?" As if it was planned, the cat mrowd at her. Kuro couldnt help when she giggled. The cat was bothered. Probably because he didn't like males other than himself around her. It was amusing, seeing that he was a cat. But he was like that for ages now, so it was nothing new.
"Yes, as in asking him. See, his expressions tell me lots." Kuro winced at the pain in her shoulder as it steadily grew.
Kisame was watching her sceptically, his dark eyes narrowed. She tilted her head, confused. Did she say something weird again? That was until she noticed his eyes were on her shoulder. She looked to the side, seeing that a corner of the hurting webbed scar was showing.
Heat filled her face as she tugged her baggy shirt over the skin. The scar was kind of gross, being knotted and deformed. It wasn't something she wanted others to see.
"What happened?" The mans voice was curious, but held a light tone of -Kuro didn't know what it was. She shifted uneasily.
"Its none of your business." She walked away, glad that her shaggy bangs hid her red cheeks.
She never wanted anyone to see the wounded flesh of her shoulder. No one. She winced again when it burned anew.
XxXxXxXXXx
She sat in the bed of leaves she made her eyes locked on the healing flesh. Her heart twisted. She highly doubted any man would want her now. Kuro was glad she saved the woman, but her shoulder was...
A small sad smile pulled onto her lips. She saved the woman, that's all that mattered.
Soft fur on the feverish skin caught her attention. The cat had his muzzle pressed against it, almost as if... He was kissing it. Even though cats kissed by licking, it was almost as f he was trying to be a human. She smiled and pat his head.
He was supportive, so at least she had someone. "Thank you..." She kissed the top of his had, her hand running down his back as she did so.
