~Naruto Kittens; The Re-Write~

~Chapter 1~

It was a normal day. Kakashi, Sakura, Sai and Naruto were chasing Sasuke, trying to get him to come back to Konoha when they ran into some trouble, the Akatsuki. But this happened all the time so they didn't really mind. Though Naruto was starting to get a little pissed off at Sasuke and Sakura was starting to get really pissed off at Sai, while Kakashi just continued on walking with his nose buried in that little orange book of his.

"SAI! I WARNED YOU!" Sakura finally snapped and lunged at Sai, pure rage showing on her face. Kakashi looked up from his book for a second and then looked back down, the pervert.

Sai was too slow and couldn't move out of the way in time to miss the attack, so now he and Sakura were both rolling on the ground while she tried to suffocate him, anger radiating off her in waves as she tried to strangle him.

"Guys! Stop fighting! We've almost caught up to Sasuke!" Naruto yelled from in front of them. Reluctantly, Sakura let go of Sai and ran to catch up with Naruto. They continued running until the came across a clearing in the forest. When they slowed down, they realized that Sasuke and the Akatsuki were there as well.

When Kakashi, Naruto, Sai and Sakura got there, the Akatsuki (and Sasuke) turned to look at them. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Pein asked, amused. Sasuke looked at them with pleading look, as if saying to help him.

"Sakura, Sai, go get back-up." Kakashi whispered out of the corner of his mouth. They nodded and turned and ran back to Konoha to get back-up.

"What are you doing here?" Naruto all but growled out. He narrowed his eyes at the Akatsuki leader and stood with his hand posed over his weapons pouch, as did Kakashi.

Before he could answer, Orochimaru suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Go my minions! Attack!" He yelled, performing a jutsu that produced tiny snakes from the big one he was standing on. The snakes flew towards the Akatsuki and Team 7, including Sasuke. The snakes latched onto them and bit them all on their necks. They all screamed out from the pain while Orochimaru laughed maniacally and disappeared with a 'poof.'

"What the fuck was that, un?" Deidara said, breaking the silence as he rubbed his neck where he was bitten. All eyes landed on Sasuke. After all, he was the apprentice of the old snake.

"I have no idea what he just did, so stop looking at me like I do." Sasuke said, putting his sword back into his holster. (When did he take it out anyway?) Sasuke was still being eyed suspiciously when Tobi almost fell over, if it hadn't been for Deidara catching him.

"Tobi, are you alright, un?" Deidara asked.

"I..I don't feel t-too good." Tobi said, holding his head. Suddenly there was a poof and smoke went everywhere. When the smoke cleared, Tobi was no where in sight. All there was were his clothes which were in a heap on the ground at Deidara's feet.

"Where'd Tobi go?" Kakashi asked looking around. "This better not be some kind of a trick."

"Forget about that, what if that happens to all of us?" Naruto asked as he started to examine himself.

"Wait a second, what's that?" Sasuke asked walking closer and bending down in front of Tobi's clothes. He rummaged around and finally pulled out a little black kitten with a orange face.

"Wait, is that, is that Tobi?" Zetsu asked in unison looking closer. The kitten meowed and nodded it's head.

"You mean to tell me, we're all going to get turned into kittens?!" Naruto yelled panicking, acting not so out of character, just very obnoxious.

Suddenly there was a few more poofs and Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi turned their heads to see all of the Akatsuki cloaks lying on the ground. Seconds later, ten little kittens of various colours crawled out from underneath them.

Sasuke walked over to the kittens and picked up the black kitten with red eyes. "Itachi? Is that you?" He asked. The cat, or Itachi, hissed and swiped it's little claws at Sasuke.

"Uh guys? I feel a little funny..." Naruto said. There was another poof as Naruto was turned into a kitten. The remaining humans looked at each other. "Oh, Kami." They said in unison as there was two more poofs before they as well were turned into kittens.

They walked around the little clearing they were in, meowing and just observing their surroundings from their little cat bodies.. Soon after they were all turned into kittens, Orochimaru showed up with Kabuto by his side.

"Uh, Orochimaru-sama, remind me again how this is supposed to help you?" Kabuto asked as he gathered up all the kittens and put them all in an enormous box.

"With the Akatsuki and Team 7 out of the way, I can take over Konoha with no interruptions!" Orochimaru said as he laughed. "Are you ready to do the jutsu Kabuto?" Kabuto nodded and did a few hand signs and muttered a jutsu. Suddenly, a portal appeared on the ground next to the box with the kittens in it. Orochimaru laughed as he kicked the box into the portal.

"Excellent job, Orochimaru-sama, but why did you turn Sasuke-kun into a kitten too?" Kabuto asked. Orochimaru's eyes widened and he looked towards the portal that was closing up. "Sasuke-kun!" He yelled and lunged after the portal. But it was too late, the kittens, and Sasuke, were gone.

Meanwhile, the box containing the kittens landed on a grassy area. Said area was in front of a building like place. It was dark out and they could barely see their surroundings. The only reason they noticed the building was because light was being omitted from it. From inside the box, the kittens meowed and tried to escape, but all their attempts failed miserably.

"This is all your fault!" Naruto hissed at Sasuke, literally. His little blonde cat body shook with rage for Sasuke, fear of where they were and the cold. His blue cat eyes turned a stormy grey as he regarded his raven-haired former teammate.

"How is this my fault?" Sasuke questioned. His black fur was sticking up on some places on is head but he ignored it. He studied his blond-haired rival as he began to speak.

"If you never would have left the village, we wouldn't have to be chasing after you and this wouldn't have happened!" Naruto yelled, his claws becoming visible as they scraped the bottom of the box.

"It's your fault too! You shouldn't have come looking for me in the first place!" Sasuke yelled back. His claws were out as well, clawing at the bottom of the box, though he wished instead that they were clawing at Naruto's little cat face.

"HEY!" Kakashi and Pein yelled at the same time. Sasuke and Naruto reluctantly stopped bickering with each other and listened to what the older cats had to say.

"Alright everyone, if we want to be changed back into humans and not stay like kittens, we're going to have to work together." Kakashi announced. Even as a kitten, black fur masked the bottom of his silver face, going quite well with his one red and one black eye.

"So we should work on trying to figure out where we are and how to change back." Pein added. His orange fur contrasted badly (or well, depending on how you looked at it) with his purple eyes. Black dots lined his face as if giving him the illusion of piercings.

The other kittens didn't seem to find that a good idea so they started yelling and arguing. They bit a each other and clawed at each other until most of hem were bloody and bruised, staining their different fur colours. A few of the kittens, which consisted of Sasori, Itachi, Pein, Zetsu and Kakashi, didn't join in on the fighting but instead tried to get everyone under control. That, though, didn't work out well. That is until they heard footsteps approaching their box, to which they instantly stopped fighting with each other.

"What was that?" Konan asked. Her royal blue fur was stained with blood around her mouth and it was hard to tell if it was her own or someone elses. Everyone became silenter than they were before. The footsteps got louder and louder before they stopped right in front of their box.

Suddenly, a man with long blonde hair picked up the box and peered inside, scaring the kittens. Some of them meowed in surprise and fear, while others just jumped in spot as their box was lifted off the ground. Very few of them stayed in place, not reacting at all.

The man smiled as he looked at the kittens. "Hey little guys! You must be freezing from being out in the cold, huh? Well, don't worry, I'll get you guys somewhere warm, where there's food and water."

He smiled again and walked to a large mechanical device with doors and wheels. He identified it as his car (not that the kittens knew what a car was anyways) and opened one of the doors at the front. He placed the box carefully down onto what looked like a leather chair before closing the door again. The kittens watched as he walked around the 'car' and got in next to them. He pulled a strap over his chest, securing it to one side of the leather chair. He pulled out something that was metal and inserted it into the inside of the car, underneath something that looked like a wheel. The kittens watched on, some in amazement, some in fear, some in confusion and some in suspicion.

He turned to the kittens as the 'car' hummed to life and started moving. He smiled yet again, his eyes crinkling. he kittens could see laugh lines around his mouth, as long as a short blond beard. "You guys will be perfect for my nieces. But first, I'm going to bring you to my home, where I'll clean you guys up and give you some food and water. Sound good?"

The man reached out his hand towards the kittens and they all cowered back, except for Tobi. His little black cat legs carried him towards the man's hand. The man gently stroked the top of his orange head before scratching under his orange chin. The man sighed before staring straight out of a window, leaving his hand . "Well, it's good that not all of you are scaredy cats."

A large portion of the kittens suddenly meowed and rushed forward, brushing their heads up against the man's hand. He gave each of the kittens a fair amount of petting before scooping his fingers under one of the black kittens. The black kitten meowed in distress and two of the kittens -a blond one and a silver one- made noises that sounded vaguely like laughing. The man lifted the kitten out of the box, while the kitten meowed and thrashed about in his hand, writhing to get free. He brought the kitten to sit in his lap and began stroking the fur on the kitten's back, all while cooing; "It's alright, little guy. I'm not going to be anything like your previous owners, okay? I promise. You're all safe here."

The black kitten relaxed and actually began to purr as the man stroked his fur. The man kept his eyes locked on whatever was on the other side of the window. The kittens could feel the car as it suddenly turned, startling them. The car started to slow down before it came to a complete stop. The kittens began meowing, confused as to why they had stopped. The man pulled the metal out of the car and the humming stopped. He lifted the black kitten and placed it carefully back into the box. He then exited the car, closing the door and then walking over to the kittens side. He opened the door, picked up the box, and then slammed the door shut using his foot.

He walked up to a house, which he told the kittens was his home, and slid something metal into it. He turned the metal and there was an unlocking noise and the door opened. He took the metal out of the door and slid it into his pants pocket. He closed he door and turned something on it. The kittens took this moment to focus on their new surroundings. The man was heading towards stairs and he began to climb them when he reached them. The kittens were brought into a room and set down on a counter. It as then they realized they were in a bathroom.

The man reached into the box and pulled out the royal blue kitten, Konan. He set her down onto the counter and spoke. "Don't be afraid, I'm just going to clean the blood off your fur, okay?"

The man wet a cloth and began tending to the wounds on Konan, along with the other kittens. Luckily, all of the wounds seemed to be healed so he didn't have to wrap them up in bandages. After he was done, he disappeared from the bathroom.

He was back rather quickly with a few plates of what smelled like chicken on them. The kittens' stomachs growled and as soon as the food was set down they bolted out of their box and began to eat. The man took that as an opportunity to count all the kittens as he placed a towel in the box as a makeshift bedding. He counted thirteen kittens in all.

"Oh yes, my nieces are going to love you guys."

~Melanie's Pov~

I stared out the window at the numerous vans containing my parents, brother, cousins, uncles, aunts and grandparents as they drove away to the airport for their flight to Florida. I sighed and leaned my head against the window, the coolness of the glass relaxing me. It was always like this. You see, today is my twin sister, Megan, and I's birthday. Now you're probably thinking, 'if it's their birthday, why aren't they going to Florida too?' Well, that's the thing. As our present, we get to stay home while everybody else goes to Florida and get's to relax. I sighed again. Even though not going means I get to see my friends, I would've really liked to go. I mean, it's Florida were talking about. With beaches, nice weather and cute boys. Everyone likes Florida or at least wants to go there.

Suddenly, my phone started ringing. I pulled it out of my pocket and pressed talk. "Hello?"

"Hey Melanie! It's me, Megan. Could you open the door for me please? I forgot my keys when I left the house to say goodbye." My twin's voice came through from the other end.

I rolled my eyes. She could be so forgetful sometimes. Then again, I knew she was out there, so I probably shouldn' have locked the door anyway. I sighed and replied with a, "Alright, hang on a second."

I ended the call and walked to the door, unlocking it and opening it.

On the other side of the door was my twin, who was holding a rather large box. "Hey sis! I have to go to the bathroom, can you hold this for me?"

I nodded and took the box from her while she closed the door and locked it. She then ran upstairs to the bathroom, skipping the steps two at a time.

I looked down at the very large and very heavy box in my arms. I wonder what's inside? Of course, me being the curious and nosy girl I was, I walked into the kitchen and put the box down on the table. I opened the box and gasped. Inside the box were 13 wacky looking kittens. And when I say wacky looking, I mean wacky looking.

But before I tell you about the kittens, let me tell you about me and my sister.

I'm 16. I'm completely insane as my friends tell me but I can also be very mature and act like a mother to my friends. I love to cosplay and I love anime (preferably Naruto). I have dark brown hair that goes past my shoulders to the middle of my back and brown eyes. But, I have recently added caramel highlights to it. I also have many coloured contacts, which I'm actually wearing right now. I'm currently wearing a Rinnegan contact in my left eye and a Sharingan contact in my right eye. Why? Because I want to, of course. I also love music, and hate gym and exercising. I also eat too much, but I'm actually very skinny. Not skinny enough to be classified as anorexic though. I have a bit of fat slightly around my stomach, but not enough as to ruin my figure.

Megan is also 16, since she's my twin. Obviously. She's insane too, but she's has not one bit of maturity in her at all. Sometimes, I wonder how we're related. She loves to cosplay and she loves the anime Naruto, just like me. She also has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. But she added silver highlights to her hair. She also wears coloured contacts. Right now she's wearing a green contact in one eye and orange in the other. Her personality is the same as mine and she looks the same as well but she's slightly slimmer. You still wouldn't be able to ell the difference from us, though, if it wasn't or the fact that we highlighted our hair.

Now, about the kittens. There were two all black ones with red eyes and I figured that they were siblings. There was also two all blonde ones with blue eyes, though one was slightly bigger than the other. Despite looking the same, I didn't think they were related. There were two silver ones, one with pink eyes and another with a red eye and a black eye. As I looked at it, I hoped it didn't have some sort of congestion going on.

But Uncle Marko wouldn't give me a kitten that was sick, would he?

Anyway, there were also two blue ones. One was a dark, royal blue while the other was a light, pale blue. I preferred the pale blue one, but the royal blue one seemed to like me for she licked my fingers and rubbed her face against my hand. I chuckled and moved on to observe the other ones. There was tan one with green eyes and markings that looked like stitches. I frowned and rubbed the top of his head in sympathy.

One of the last few ones was a black one with an orange face. The orange was only on the front part of his face and it looked a bit like a mask. I giggled and pressed a kiss to the top of it's head. It mewled in response and I giggled again. There was also an orange one and a red one. The orange one had dots on his face, only on his face, and it reminded me of Pein and his piercings. The last one, the red one, gave me a look that I can only tell meant that he was bored or tired. I smiled and pressed a kiss to the top of his head. When I looked at it again, it looked fully awake. The very last kitten was half black and half white. On the side that was black, the eye colour was orange while on the side that was white the eye was a very dark brown, almost black.

I chuckled at the odd appearance and pet the kitten under its chin. The kitten began to purr as Megan walked into the kitchen, grinning. She nodded her heads toward the kittens and asked me, "So what do you think about the kittens? They're our birthday presents."

"Birthday presents? From who? And yes, I do like them." I said. I stared back down at the kittens and began to pet all of them, keeping close attention to the ones who welcomed my touch and the ones who didn't.

"They're from Uncle Marko." Megan answered. "Aren't they adorable?"

I peered inside the box and picked up the blonde kitten with blue eyes and markings on its stomach. He seemed to really like me and I smiled when he began licking my fingers. "Hell yes! They're adorable! But, why are some of them different colours? Not that it makes them any less cute."

"I don't know, Uncle Marko said he found them like this." Megan answered as she began to pet the kittens as well. "Hey, do you want to name them?"

I nodded, smiling. "Alright! Let's go bring them up to our room. But, oh! We have to get them pet food and all that other stuff."

Megan nodded. "Okay, let's bring them to our room and then we'll go out. Do you have money?"

The tan one seemed to perk up at that and I grinned, switching the blond kitten in my arms for him. "I don't have much, but I know where mom and dad keep their emergency credit card."

Megan grinned with me. "Let's not waste anytime them."

And so we were off.
