Hello, everyone.
This is a total bonus chapter. Interlopers will be out probably sometime tomorrow.
I just wanted to upload something cute after all of the suspense of the Silah fight and Mava's revelations.
This is a totally random oneshot where in which Elle is turned into a kitten and she has to get Azula's attention. There are a lot of fics out there where they do something like this. I just thought that it was a cute idea so I wrote it.
As always, I want to thank everyone who reviewed, favorited and followed since the previous update.
And as always, please consider doing so if you find the story worthy following.
A Kitten Affair – Part One (Twoshot)
Azula strode down the halls of her royal sloop with her callous amber golden eyes staring ahead in displeasure.
The girl was twenty minutes late to bring her breakfast!
It was almost completely unheard of for the girl to be late let alone even that late.
And so, she decided to go to the girl's room to check on her to see if she slept in.
Only to find herself opening the door to Elle's chamber while she gazed in in surprise to see that the room was…vacant.
"Where is that girl?" Azula growled in an annoyed voice with her arms folded over her breasts.
She glanced about the room in rising aggravation.
Only to find herself spinning her head around when she thought she heard a meow.
Elle rushed out in a panic out from under her bed with her paws scrambling across the floor towards the unaware woman.
The human turned kitten sprinted adorably at the tall princess who was scowling about her room in search of her.
She knew something was horribly wrong when she awoke this morning and somehow…felt smaller.
And when she tried to form words all that came out was a meow!
Shortly after that she looked in the mirror only to gasp in worry when she realized that her reflection was now that of a golden kitten!
She didn't know what happened but she knew that she needed her princess's brilliant mind to restore her back to normal!
And that was when she meowed as she tumbled to a stop near the princess's pointed boots.
'Azula-sama! I am down here! It's me!' Elle meowed as she clawed at the older girl's boot while Azula turned to glance down at her.
Only to find herself trembling in worry when Azula's amber golden eyes narrowed into a disgusted glare.
"What is this! I thought I told her no forest creatures! I detest cats!" Azula boomed in a repulsed voice as she glared down at the tiny kitten climbing onto her boot.
Before she angrily shook her heel while the little fur ball tumbled to the floor with another pitiful meow.
Only for her amber golden eyes to narrow into slits when the little thing pounced on her leg once more.
As she furiously shook her boot with the tiny kitten now hanging from her heel.
'P-please help me Azula-sama! I was turned into a kitten and now I don't know what to do!' Elle attempted to communicate while she clung to the princess's boot.
Only to find herself yelping when she was almost shaken off and thrown onto the floor once more.
She whimpered as she meowed frantically as she craned her little neck to gaze up at her mistress's unamused glaring face.
And not a second later she cried out when a stern hand abruptly seized her by the scruff of her neck.
As she now found herself being raised into the air.
Before she came to a stop hanging before the princess's beautifully strict face while the woman scowled
deeply down at her.
"Disgusting fur ball!' Azula snapped in a harsh voice as she glared back at the kitten squirming in her clenched fist.
She stared coldly back at the little cowering creature as she tried not to admit that she thought the cat was cute.
And for the briefest of instances she scrutinized the small thing.
She mildly arched a brow when she saw that the cat had golden eyes and an oddly familiar coat of golden fur.
Only to scowl while she shook her head as she made her way out the room with the whimpering creature in her fist.
The little kitten trembled with a flash of hurt in her amber eyes when the woman began to walk her out the door.
'B-but it's…it's me Azula-sama!' Elle meowed with sadness in her kitten voice as she clawed at the older girl's oppressive fist.
Only For the princess to glare at her through the corner of her tyrannical eye as she snorted in revulsion.
"This thing is going overboard. I will have no cats on my royal sloop!" Azula snarled as she stomped down the hall while the pitiful kitten began wiggling about in a frenzy.
She glared down at the creature as it began to meow with its little paws reaching for her glaring face.
As she tried not to let herself become affected by the little feline's grudgingly adorable stare.
'P-please don't hurt me Azula-sama!' Elle wailed in a fretful manner as she neared the princess's regally scowling face while amber golden eyes glared back at her.
Only for the sound of Azula shouting furiously to resound into the air when she leaped onto the tall woman's shoulder.
As she started affectionately nuzzling the seething woman's cheek with her little meows flowing into the older girl's irate ears.
"Get off me you dirty fur ball! Gross! I-it's…licking me!" Azula bellowed as she tried to move her head away while the tiny kitten licked her cheek.
And then she found herself letting out a low snarl when the thing tried to climb onto the top of her head.
Just before she roughly removed the creature from her head while she held out the whimpering kitten away from her growling face.
'I-I love you Azula-sama!' Elle called out in a whiny meow while Azula began to stomp down the hall of the royal sloop once more.
She peered back up at the princess's scowling face as amber golden eyes never ceased in glaring back down at her.
While Azula held the creature as far away from her face as humanly possible as she marched in search of her girlfriend so that she could punish her.
Only for the princess to halt in her tracks when she heard a squeal of excitement from behind her.
And then she turned around while she sighed heavily under her breath while Ty Lee cheerfully cart wheeled towards her.
As Mai stared on from behind with a deadpan expression as she eyed the cat in slight pity.
"Azula! Where did you find such a cute kitty!" Ty Lee cried out as she hopped onto her feet before the scowling woman while she leaned in to coo at the meowing kitten.
'Oneesans! Ty Lee! Mai!' Elle replied in a lovable meow as she attempted to smile back in the kind noblewoman's beaming face.
"It is not cute Ty Lee! And for your information I found it in the peasant's room! And I intend to dispose of it after I punish the girl for defying my orders!" Azula barked in a cold voice as she pushed past the still smiling acrobat while she glared at the meowing creature in her fist.
The two noblewomen exchanged a glance after hearing that their little sister brought a kitten aboard.
As Mai just shook her head musing that it won't end well for that cat.
"That's too cruel Azula…you can't do that to such an adorable kitty." Ty Lee protested with a still present smile while the princess rolled her cruel eyes.
"To the contrary Ty Lee I can. Cruelty is my specialty. I am the master of this warship. It is well within my legal rights to have everyone aboard this ship killed if I so please. Much less this pitiful fur ball." Azula scoffed as she held the whimpering kitten up for emphasis while Ty Lee stared back in disapproval.
"So, you're just going to make Elle cry by getting rid of her new cat?" Mai inquired in a monotone voice as she stopped behind Ty Lee while the princess scowled back at her.
"Yeah Azula. You don't want to make Elle cry…do you?" Ty Lee pondered with her hands clasped before her while she grinned down at the squirming kitten.
"I could care less if that girl cries. She is nothing more than a tool of war that I am using for my own gain." Azula sneered as she held her head high while her two friends gazed at her with unconvinced looks in their eyes.
Only for her scowl to deepen when she turned to glare down at the kitten as it tried to hop on her head once more.
'Azula-sama! I knew that you cared about me!' Elle called out in a lovable meow as she attempted to climb on the woman's shoulder while Azula stiffened in anger.
Just as the princess tensed up in embarrassment when she heard both of her childhood friends chuckling at her.
"Ugh! If you like it so much Ty Lee then why don't you take it!" Azula exclaimed in aggravation as she shoved the tiny kitten into the smiling woman's loving arms.
"Aww! I'll gladly keep watch over my little sister's kitten! You are such a little cutie! Don't worry little one! I'll protect you from that big meanie Azula!" Ty Lee cooed as she cradled the meowing kitten against her breasts while the princess rolled her eyes once more.
'O-oneesan!' Elle cried out in another cute meow as she nuzzled her head against the noblewoman's breasts.
Perhaps it wasn't so bad being a kitten after all!
"Whatever. But I suggest you not get too attached to that thing Ty Lee because it is not staying." Azula declared in an utterly merciless voice with her arms folded angrily over her breasts.
As she glared back at the pitifully meowing thing in her grinning friend's arms.
"Would you like to hold her too Mai?" Ty Lee commented as she happily walked with the tiny kitten nuzzling into her chest while Mai gazed down at the cat with bored tawny eyes.
"I'll pass on that Ty Lee. Speaking of Elle though…has anyone seen the kid around this morning?" Mai questioned in a concerned voice while Ty Lee tilted her head in worry.
The three highborn women never noticed how the little kitten tried to reach out her paw to touch the weapons expert's shoulder.
Only for the two noblewomen to turn to the princess when Azula's belly let out a rumbling growl.
Just as the princess let out a spoiled scoff as she threw an arrogant hand over her annoyed shoulder.
"The girl never brought me my breakfast this morning! I have been looking all over for her and she isn't even in her room! And now I have to deal with this furball…on top of having to suffer through hunger pains! The girl is the only servant that I have on staff right now and I am not going to do something as commoner as cook it myself! I insist that she cook it for me!" Azula explained in an unbelievably pompous voice as she waved her hand in the air before her scowling face.
The two noblewomen stared at the back of her head with an exasperated look in their eyes.
As the three highborn girls once again failed to notice the way that the tiny kitten slumped in sorrow.
"Gee Azula, it sounds like you are really suffering. Maybe Elle is in the shower?" Ty Lee suggested with a smile still on her lips while she squeezed the tiny kitty in her arms.
As she beamed down at the golden kitten when she began to affectionately lick her arm.
"Perhaps Ty Lee. In any event send the girl to my throne room when you do find her so I can discipline her." Azula snorted as she waved her palm once more while she strode past her childhood friends towards her throne room as they watched her walk off.
As she tried to suppress the slightest hint of concern that she felt over her serving girl's wellbeing.
And even thought she didn't want to say it out loud.
She hoped that the girl was not feeling unwell.
An hour later.
Azula sat in her throne room with an even more irate expression on her face as she tapped the arm of her throne aggravation.
Just before she turned to her throne room door when her captain stepped in.
"I can't find her Princess. I looked everywhere. Even the bathrooms." Zoi informed in a stony voice with her golden eyes trying to mask her concern.
The princess sat up with her arms grasping at the arms of her chair with a much greater look of worry in her cold eyes.
As Azula felt a knot of dread form in the pity of her stomach.
If there was no sign of the girl on the entire royal sloop…
That could only mean that…
The Avatar and his friends captured her in the middle of the night!
Only for the two to turn towards the door once more when Ty Lee rushed in with the little kitten in her arms.
Azula now stood glaring down at the meowing fur ball with her amber golden eyes agape with anger.
Zoi glanced at the cat in mild curiosity from over her shoulder.
"Get that thing out of my throne room Ty Lee or I will get rid of it myself." Azula spoke in a terrifying voice as she glared at her the other woman's distraught face.
"We have a kitten now?" Zoi pondered with a tilt of her head while the princess's amber golden eyes twitched in annoyance.
"Enough about the damn fur ball. I want that girl found. Now!" Azula commanded in an imperious voice as she loomed on her throne room steps while Ty Lee rushed up to her.
"Azula! You said that you found this kitten in Elle's room, right?" Ty Lee asked as the princess gazed down at her with a cold stare.
Just as Mai walked in with a look of unusual concern on her features.
"Yes, Ty Lee what of it?" Azula replied in a voice of waning patience while her amber golden eyes still glared at the little feline.
"I found Elle's empty clothes under her covers. Is it possible that Elle could have been turned into a kitten?" Ty Lee explained with the tiny kitten cradled against her breasts while the other three highborn women stared at her incredulously.
"Are you suggesting that this cat is Elle?" Mai pondered in a bewildered voice as she stared down at the little meowing kitten with confused tawny eyes.
While Zoi now blinked her golden eyes in puzzlement as she mulled the possibility over.
As Azula stared down at the tiny creature with her amber golden eyes flashing in contemplation.
"That is the most absurd thing that I have ever heard Ty Lee! This furball is not Elle." Azula spoke in a dismissive voice while she stared harshly back at the pitifully meowing creature.
"Think about it Azula! She has golden hair, golden eyes, she's smaller than most kittens and she was found in Elle's room!" Ty Lee insisted as she walked closer as she held up the vocally meowing tiny kitten for the princess to see.
The other three highborn women exchanged a baffled glance as they walked forward to inspect the tiny cat.
And soon enough they all crowded around Ty Lee with their eyes gazing down at the meowing kitten in newfound curiosity.
"That proves nothing Ty Lee. Many cats have amber eyes. And of course, you found it in Elle's room because the girl is the only one on my royal sloop foolish enough to bring such a creature aboard." Azula argued with her toned arms folded over her robed breasts while she stared down at the little meowing kitten.
Zoi and Mai now exchanged a thoughtful look as they each inspected the cat.
"Then where is Elle if she just brought a kitten into her room this morning? I am telling you Azula. I really think that this is her!" Ty Lee exclaimed as she frowned back at the princess's skeptical scowling face.
"Ty Lee has a point Princess. Those are suspicious circumstances. But I have an idea that may help us determine if this truly is young Elle." Zoi commented with a hand under her chin while Azula snorted as she tried not to roll her eyes
The other two noblewomen turned their eyes to gaze back at the captain.
Ten minutes later…
Team Azula watched in uncertainty as the warrior walked back into the room with several items in hand.
Ty Lee held the tiny mewling kitten in her arms.
While Azula sat on her throne once more as she watched the cat closely with pondering amber golden eyes.
As Mai observed the tiny kitten with curiosity in her eyes as she mulled over if it was possible for that to be her little sister.
"First we'll set her down and see who she runs to." Zoi stated as she gestured for Ty Lee to set the kitten down.
Just as the noblewoman knelt down as she smiled down at the adorably tiny mewling kitten.
"Go on little one." Ty Lee cooed as she let the tiny kitten down on the floor while Azula rolled her imposing eyes over them.
Only for the three noblewomen to watch with humor in their eyes when the minuscule kitten scurried towards the princess's looming golden throne.
Azula glared down with disbelief in her ruthless eyes as she watched the tiny thing clamber up the steps in a wild effort to reach her throne.
And not a moment after that the princess sat high on her throne gazing down with disbelieving amber golden eyes to see the minute animal trying to climb up her boot once more!
As the three other women stared on with fascination and even a degree of amusement in their eyes.
Azula's lips pursed into an imposing scowl as she leaned down to glare in judgment down at the furball hanging from her boot.
'Azula-sama!' Elle meowed as she pulled on the tall woman's leggings while Azula stared down at her with narrowed amber golden eyes as she surveyed her from above.
"She actually likes Azula. No animal likes Azula." Mai remarked with a small smirk on her lips while the princess glared down at her.
"If anything, this just only proves that even fur balls are susceptible to my natural charms. But that doesn't mean that this is the tiger monkey." Azula retorted with a shake of her head while she frowned down at the little mewling kitten clawing at her heel.
Only to turn her head to Zoi when the warrior walked up the steps of her throne before the woman came to a stop standing over the meowing cat.
"My second test is the following. I have a can of fish. Cats love fish. Whereas our Elle is a proud vegetarian and as we all know she would rather die than eat meat." Zoi announced with a small smile on her lips as she held out a can of fish while Azula scowled down at the tiny cat on her boot.
Before she bent down to set the can on the floor as she opened it up before the meowing kitten.
And then other highborn women watched in curiosity when the captain gently picked the tiny kitten up in her hands.
Before she lowered the little feline over the opened can of fresh ocean fish.
As they all watched with astonishment in their eyes when the minuscule kitten flailed as if Zoi was trying to kill her.
'N-no! I am not eating that! Get that away from me!' Elle protested as she let out a small sounding growl up at the looming face of the taken aback Zoi.
The princess leaned even further down to stare down at the minuscule pitifully thrashing feline in bewilderment.
Her merciless amber golden eyes flashed with a flicker of emotion as she surveyed the mewling thing from where she sat on her throne.
Could this little furball truly be her servant?
"Is…that really Elle?" Mai pondered in a stunned voice as she walked up the steps with her tawny eyes gazing down at the flailing kitten in amazement.
And not even a second after that they all watched in fascination when the minuscule kitten sprung free from the captain's hands.
And leaped right back down at the princess's boots.
As they watched in shock when the little kitten began adorably nuzzling the princess's pointed boot.
While Azula still stared down at the cat with disbelief in her ruthless amber golden eyes.
"And now for my final test…sour candy." Zoi remarked with a smirk on her lips while she withdrew a small box of sour candy.
As the princess now scrunched up her nose in disgust as she still stared down at the cat with searching amber golden eyes.
And not a moment after that the warrior poured the sour candy onto the floor before the princess's throne.
The highborn women then watched in shock when the little kitten scurried at the pile to pick up a piece of sour patch kids in between her fangs.
And then Azula gazed down with her amber golden eyes agape in incredulity when the candy was deposited before her boots almost as if it was in tribute.
And soon after that the little feline began to purr while she ate the piece of sour candy.
As the four women stared on with stunned expression in their eyes.
"A cat that won't eat fresh fish but will eat sour candy? What are the odds Azula?" Ty Lee quipped with a smile on her lips while the princess stared down at the happy kitten.
"But how would Elle have turned into a cat?" Mai inquired in an incredulous voice as she gazed down at the little purring cat.
Just before the mighty princess narrowed her amber golden eyes down at the tiny kitten when the fur ball began to rub her face against her boot once more.
As the flames from her azure firebending lit the hall of her throne room.
Before she pursed her lips into a regal scowl as she leaned down to speak to the feline.
"There is only one way to know for certain if you are Elle..." Azula trailed off in a contemplative voice as she narrowed her eyes in a terrifying glare down at the tiny meowing kitten.
And not a moment later the flames shot up throughout the throne room.
"Kowtow!" Azula commanded in a voice of absolute authority with her hands clasped in her lap while a tyrannical smirk graced her lips.
The three noblewomen stared on in amusement over the absurdity of how their princess looked ordering a miniscule kitten to kowtow before her.
Only for all four of the highborn women to gaze on in speechlessness when the tiny feline prostrated on all fours before the princess's pointed boots.
"I…can't believe it. It really is her.' Azula spoke in a taken aback voice while she gazed down at her little bowing feline girlfriend in shock.
As she felt her stomach twist up in remorse over all of the earlier cruel remarks that she had said to the girl unaware that it was truly her little girlfriend.
"Elle…" Mai breathed in a disbelieving voice as she knelt down behind the girl while the little kitten meowed excitedly almost as if in reply.
Ty Lee crouched down with a softened smile on her lips as she petted the little feline's meowing head.
"It will be okay little sister. We'll get you back to normal soon enough!" Ty Lee assured in a tender voice with a grin on her lips while she patted the kitten's head.
"Incredible. It truly is her." Zoi stated in a still surprised voice as she blinked down at the tiny kitten.
As the princess still sat in a state of shock with her amber golden eyes gazing down at the little kitten when she scurried back over to her boots.
Before she let out a sigh under her breath as she patted her thigh with an inviting hand.
"Oh, come here peasant." Azula sighed as she patted her lap while she watched the little feline start to crawl up her leg.
Just before she bent over to scoop the tiny kitten up in her palms while she held the meowing girl before her astonished face.
The three noblewomen watched from the sidelines in fascination.
'Princess! I knew that you would recognize me!' Elle meowed as she tried to smile back at Azula's larger than normal face while the woman held her more gently than before.
And then she purred happily when she was set on a comfortable thigh while she felt a hand lower into her mane of golden hair.
"I command the three of you to devote all of your time into researching this…small change so that we can reverse it as soon as possible." Azula ordered as she began to pet her minuscule feline girlfriend in her lap while her subordinates nodded their heads in agreement.
She found herself unable to resist running her fingernails through the girl's golden hair as she gazed down at her handmaid with strict amber golden eyes.
"The last thing I need is for my prized war power to trapped as a fur ball for all her days." Azula snorted as she stared coldly down at Elle's tiny form mewling underneath her petting hand.
"Of course, Azula." Mai replied with a slight smirk on her lips while the princess glared back at her.
"In the meantime, it looks as if young Elle has found a suitable cat sitter." Zoi teased with a chuckle while her princess glared at her through the corner of her ruthless eye.
All the while as Ty Lee giggled with a hand over her mouth.
Only for all three of them to gaze on in amusement when the tiny kitten leaped from the princess's lap and perched on her shoulder.
Azula stiffened in humiliation as she turned to glare down at the little form of her kitten girlfriend now meowing loudly on her shoulder.
And then she let out a low growl when the tiny kitten began to nuzzle her proud cheek.
Her lips pursed into a scowl as she glared at the girl through the corner of her amber golden eye.
Only for the princess to spin around in outrage when she heard chortling coming from the three noblewomen below.
While all three nobles laughed with their hands covering their amused mouths.
And before the princess could say anything else her amber golden eyes twitched in annoyance when the girl leaped onto the top of her head.
As Azula now sat on her throne with an embarrassed glower on her crimson lips while the tiny feline began to lay down in her dark hair.
And that was all it took for the three noblewomen's laughter get even louder.
And not a moment after that the flames in the throne room shot up to towering heights.
The entire throne room turned the color of a calamitous blue while the trio flinched under their princess's death glare.
"Get out! All three of you or I will imprison you all!" Azula bellowed in a terrifying voice while her subordinates rushed towards the door.
As her tiny kitten girlfriend meowed from where she sat in her black hair.
"That would be threatening Princess…if you didn't have a kitten perched on your head." Zoi chuckled as she walked out while Azula glared daggers after her.
And not a second later the throne room door closed shut with a thud.
As the princess sat there with a tiny sliver of pink on her regal cheeks.
She raised her eyes upward to glare up at the meowing kitten peering down at her from over her eyes.
"Elle! Get off my head or I will punish you." Azula stated in a hard voice as she glared up at the girl's grudgingly adorable mewling face.
Only for her lips to curve into a strangely pleased smile when the tiny kitten obediently jumped down from her head and into her lap.
Whether it be as a human or a kitten the girl knew who owned her, and she obeyed accordingly.
She gazed down at her kitten girlfriend as the meowing girl settled on her thigh with her little paws cutely digging into her leggings.
As she set her palm over the minuscule kitten once more while she started to pet the purring girl.
She sighed as she reclined with the back of her head resting against her throne.
As she continued to pet her girlfriend with a possessive glare in her cold eyes.
"Good girl Elle. Worry not…I'll get you restored to your normal self shortly." Azula purred as she petted the tiny kitten's head while she watched with a protective gleam in her eyes as the girl curled up to sleep on her thigh.
She leaned back on her posterior with her hand resting in her new kitten girlfriend's soft mane of hair.
"Until then peasant…you stay with me at all times and don't you dare leave my sight." Azula sighed with her beautiful lips forming a content smile as she petted her tiny girlfriend in her lap.
'A-Azula-sama. I am yours and I love you with all of my heart.' Elle meowed as she purred with her face coming to rest on the princess's robed thigh.
She savored the sensation of the woman's strong hand petting her back as she closed her eyes.
And soon after that she began to doze off on her princess's soft thigh.
She knew that her princess wouldn't allow any harm to come to her.
As long as she had her home…her Princess Azula…there was nothing to fear.
