So please go R and R that one…then R and R this one! This is in Rumpleteazer's POV so I hope you all enjoy it! Be gentle but truthful…THANKS EVERYONE!

Disclaimer: Do not own cats or its characters. If I did, I so claim Pouncival.

My tail curled around my lean body protectively, as I lay in front of the heater Jerrie had smuggled. My breathing was deep and even as I waited for sleep to come. It was late…after midnight. I guess my subconscious was waiting for Jerrie to come home…

Mungojerrie was about a year and a half older then me, and lately seemed very overprotective of me. I could only think of two reasons for that to be…

One, I had been sneaking around to see the love of my life. Pouncival and I had been keeping our relationship very closed. Closed enough that we were the only ones who knew about it…I smiled to myself. Since the day we had proclaimed our love for each other about 2 weeks ago, we had been meeting every night after dark to spend time together. I was now 100 sure I was utterly in love with him.

I figured Jerrie thought something was up, because every night I claimed to be thieving, I brought back an empty sack. He just watched me curiously when I came home and before I left. Because of that fact, I haven't seen Pounci in a few days, before tonight; just in case. I had saw him tonight, but I figured I wouldn't sneak out for a few days now. No need for Jerrie to find out and have Pounci's head on a platter.

The next reason being that I was almost of mating age. I was only 17 not old enough yet to mate, but in a few weeks, I would have a birthday. Lets just say, that when I tried to talk to Jerrie about mating he hit the roof. He tells me how much I am NOT mating anytime soon. If he only knew…

I could feel the cold December air outside swirling, and I curled myself tighter. Jerrie was out thieving for himself somewhere in Victoria Grove. My eyes peeped open as he came into our small den.

"Cor' iss cold out theah!" he said shivering in his fur. He looked down at me, and I peered silently up at him from my spot by the heat. He smiled at my appearance but then his nose crinkled. "UGH Teaze….Yah scent smells…weiahd…"

I cringed. Pounci's scent was something that intoxicated me. NOT disgusted me. I figured it was only the fact that Jerrie was male. I shrugged. "Musta' crossed someone's path…" I said innocently.

He looked at me curiously sniffing the air again. His nose crinkled again. "Smells like Munk…tomcat-ish…Is tha' wheah yah went tonight?" he asked approaching me to smell closer.

I nodded. Munkustrap was Pouncival's father. Pounci sort of developed his scent from him as well. I loved my Pounci's scent. It was surly unique. A bit of Munk's tomcat-ish scent with a hint of that protective edge. Then there was a bit of his mother Demeter's paranoid scent tied in with that. Then there was that larger half, that was kittenish. I loved that part most. I had grown so fond of his scent that I could probably pick it out anywhere.

"I been goin theah lately." I said lightly. That wasn't a complete lie… "They got some new shiny stuff…" I said grinning, then shrugging again. "Too crowded tah get in 'n out…Pehaps yah could try…"

He smiled now too, obviously believing my little white lie. Nodding he said slowly. "May try theah tahmorra…"

I smiled closing my eyes once again, relaxing. Thinking again about mating. "Jerrie? Can we talk 'bout somthin' tha' yah ah avoidin like thah plague?" I said casually.

He looked at me, and I think he sensed what was coming. "Sur'…" he said rather reluctantly. I sat up now.

"Iss…bout matin…" I said slowly taking in his full expression. His face was grim.

"Teazah…" he began. "Yah know very well 'ow I feel bout tha'!" He scoffed taking his place beside me on the mat by the heat. He looked at me sternly. "Yah 'ave been askin a lot bout tha' lately. Any particular reason why?"

I reddened. "No Jerrie…Iss jus'…I tuhn 18 in a few weeks…an if someone asks…" I died away leaving the sentence trailing.

"My ansah is still thah same. ABSOLULY NOT." he said simply curling up, one paw rested on my shoulder protectively. "No sistah of mine wil be matin' anytime soon!"

"But-" I began but he cut me off.

"No but's Teazah. Now go tah sleep…" He said closing his eyes, and slowing his breathing. I sighed. There was no getting past Jerrie. Not now…Not ever.

AN: I know its very very short, but I did it all today, and I was anxious to get it out. I promise a longer chapter next. PLEASE LEAVE ME A REVIEW! All reviews much appreciated!
