This is all dedicated to HK Keiji. This was originally going to be a two shot, but I decided to write more to this. This is for the wonderful KonoNaru pairing, and I hope you all enjoy it.
Kitten And Fox
Naruto's eyes widened, and they might have even twitched. "Konohamaru. . . . What are you doing?"
Konohamaru was on the ground, rubbing against the bottom of Naruto's left leg. His head bobbed oddly up and down, and there was a strange smile on his face. Naruto almost fell over in surprise when he heard Konohamaru meow. He burst into laughter, after hearing the sound for the second and third time, though, because it was so ridiculous. Konohamaru turned his head up to look at the face of the laughing Naruto. A confused look had plastered itself on Konohamaru's face, and his left hand was held out weirdly. "Meow?"
"Okay, Konohamaru. It's funny, but that's enough."
"Meow?" he repeated. Then, he jumped up at Naruto, and Naruto fell, Konohamaru sitting next to him. Konohamaru rubbed his nose against Naruto's right cheek. Naruto looked up and saw Konohamaru's face touching his. Konohamaru started purring. Naruto wasn't sure he liked him being that close. Konohamaru shuffled over and rested the upper half of his body on Naruto's chest and stomach.
"Kono.Hamaru. . . . Get.Off." Naruto roughly shoved Konohamaru off him and jumped to his feet. Konohamaru looked up at him with a pouting face.
". . . Meow," Konohamaru said sadly.
Naruto was angry. He had just finished eating ramen at Ichiraku's, and he was leaving, when Konohamaru had . . . started . . . being weird.
Naruto turned to walk away from the sad faced Konohamaru, but, when he did, Konohamaru quickly scrambled over and wrapped both his arms around Naruto's right ankle. Naruto tried to shake free, but Konohamaru jerked Naruto's leg, and he fell to his bum, making a huffing noise. He was still sitting, but, before he could get back to his feet, Konohamaru sat in his lap. Naruto could have screamed, but Konohamaru started nuzzling his head against Naruto's chest. Naruto felt so . . . So warm. Naruto reluctantly started petting Konohamaru by repeatedly moving his hand down on the outside of his shirt. Konohamaru started purring, which made Naruto's stomach feel even weirder. Naruto started softly whispering kind words, hoping Konohamaru wouldn't get angry and start clawing him up.

It was the day after Konohamaru had played kitty, outside the ramen shop. Naruto was going to check on him and make sure he wasn't being a dog, for the day, and sniffing Sakura's butt, or something. "I hope Konohamaru is . . . Normal, today."
Naruto found him sitting near Hokage mountain, looking up at the rock faces. He heard Naruto call his name. Konohamaru turned and saw Naruto looking at him. "Meow, meow!" he cooed happily. Then, he frowned, when saw Naruto's disappointed look.
"Still a cat, huh?" Naruto looked at him sadly.
Konohamaru tackled Naruto and quickly refound his place on Naruto's lap. He affectionately rubbed his head against Naruto's chest. Naruto smiled slightly. "At least you have your clothes on."
Naruto immediately wanted to slap himself, for Konohamaru's ears had perked up at the sound of what he had said. Naruto looked nervously to the left and right.
"Well, yah, at least you do." Naruto let the smile grow on to his face. Naruto squeezed Konohamaru close to him in a hug.

Naruto woke up feeling nervous. He knew he had to check on Konohamaru again. Then, his eyes widened dangerously.
"I hope Konohamaru . . . Is wearing . . . Something." When he imagined . . . "No no no no no no."
After he opened his door, he saw Konohamaru sitting down and looking up at him. Naruto let out a huge sigh of relief, when he saw Konohamaru did have his clothes on. But he groaned, when he heard, "Meow!"
"Konohamaru, stop that. It isn't funny."
Konohamaru grinned, and, on his knees and elbows, he went past Naruto and into his house. Naruto felt suddenly nervous again. When he turned around, he saw Konohamaru crawl over to Naruto's bed. Konohamaru climbed onto the bed, and he rolled one way and back, almost like a dog. He stared over at Naruto, for a moment. Then, he slipped off the bed and crawled back over to Naruto. Naruto looked at him oddly. "Konohamaru?"
The boy stood up abruptly. He grabbed Naruto's hands and pulled him to the floor, before sitting himself, once again, in Naruto's lap. Naruto looked directly at Konohamaru's face. "Where's Konohamaru?"
Konohamaru realized Naruto was very near tears and was upset by this. For a moment, he stared into Naruto's eyes. Konohamaru opened his mouth and slowly spoke, "I love you."
Naruto started shaking. He found his hands moving upward and combing through the smaller boy's hair. Then, Konohamaru softly kissed Naruto's cheek.
Yes. The end of the first chapter. There's more, so go read that! )
