A/N: Hello and welcome to my new story! I hope you all enjoy the first chapter to this little idea that's been plaguing me for awhile! I would like to thank my helper for editing this story for me!

B- Don't worry about the new story, trust me its purrfect.

You'll have to ignore him and his corny jokes. He's only good at editing...

Anyway, unto the chapter!

Naruto ran through the trees with Kakashi and Sakura not far behind. They were nothing but blurs as they dashed from tree to tree. The breeze blew through Naruto's hair and he grinned. It was such a beautiful day!

The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the deer were grazing. The weather was warm, and the breeze was pleasant. There wasn't a cloud in the bright, beautiful blue sky. It was the perfect weather.

It was also a wonderful day for our young hero. Naruto Uzumaki had just recently returned from his training trip with Jiraiya. Once he had gotten back, he enthusiastically greeted all of his old friends and teachers. He managed to spend some time chatting with them about their adventures in the Leaf without him. It was a fun reunion, even the part where Granny Tsunade punched him through the window for calling him Grandma.

But, the best part about returning had to be Sakura.

During his training trip he had missed her dearly, and was constantly worrying about her. He knew how much she cared for Sasuke, and he had been concerned on how she was holding up. Once he returned to the village, he sought her out. He was relieved to find that not only was she doing okay, but she was also nicer to him!

Well, okay sort of nicer to him.

Okay, she wasn't hitting him as much. That was something! She would even hold civil conversations with him! Those little moments of them just sitting down and talking made Naruto's day. He just wished that she would agree to go on a date with him. If things kept heading in this direction, she just might!

He turned his head to look behind him at his teammate. She noticed his gaze and sent him a small smile. Naruto sent her a large grin in return before turning his attention in from of him.

Team seven was currently on their way back to the Leaf. They had been sent on a short C rank mission after Kakashi had administered the second bell test. The mission was simple enough, head to a nearby village and pick up some special herbs that Tsunade needed for medication. It was a very easy task, one that was supposed to ease them back into working together as a team and completing missions with one another.

It went off without a hitch; they paid the money, and collected the box. Now they were on their way back to the Leaf. Naruto was hoping to ask Sakura out. He didn't know why, but today seemed like a wonderful day to start a brand new relationship. The weather, the plants, and even the animals were juuust right.

Why wouldn't she want to date him? He might sound cocky for thinking this, but he had gotten quite handsome over the years. He's also gotten stronger, more focused, and he's definitely matured. Kakashi even allowed him to carry the container with the herbs! That's' how much he trusted the young blonde! He may not be as cool, calm, and collected as Sasuke, but he's improving. He was quieter now, and he actually thought before he spoke. Sakura was sure to date him now!

Naruto glanced behind him to once again to admire his pink haired crush.

He chose the wrong moment to do that.

Before either Sakura or Kakashi could warn him, he ran into a branch. It nailed him in the gut causing all the air to leave him. The container flew out of his hands and into the forest floor below.

Both Kakashi and Sakura stopped near Naruto to make sure he was alright. The fox container held on to the branch as pain exploded from his gut. Tiny black spots clouded his vision as he stared off into the distance in a daze.

"Naruto, are you alright!?" Sakura questioned, her voice was laced with concern.

Naruto slowly detached himself from the branch. He clutched his stomach in pain.

"Yeah, I should be fine." He wheezed out. He was definitely bruised, he just wasn't sure if it was internal bruising or external. Hell, it might be both!

'Here, allow me." Sakura carefully placed her hand on his stomach, just underneath his. A bit of red dusted his cheeks as a nice warmth radiated from her hand was located. A green light surrounded her hand as she healed him. She kept her eyes on his stomach. Naruto wanted her to gaze into his eyes while she did this, it might lead to a kiss like so many other times in his dreams. His heart was pounding against his ribcage it threatened to burst through his chest. He could smell her floral perfume, it fit her wonderfully.

Her beautiful pink hair was blowing gently through the wind, Naruto wanted to run his fingers through her luscious locks. Although her body hadn't developed much while he was away, he was fine with that. He just wanted to wrap her in a hug and never let her go.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. She pulled her hand away and stepped back.

"There, all better." She told him.

It was true; all the pain had receded from his stomach. He was at 100% once more.

"Thanks Sakura! I don't' know what I'd do without you!" He praised her with a bright grin.

"Although I'd hate to interrupt this little bonding moment you two are having, its best if we find those herbs." Kakashi interjected.

Naruto scratched his cheek and let loose a nervous chuckle. "Heh, yeah. Sorry about that." He apologized.

"It's fine Naruto. It was just an accident and those happen all the time, we'll just find the box and head back home." Sakura reassured him.

"Right then, let's' go!" Naruto proclaimed loudly. He was getting that date today!

He ran down the length of the tree he was on. He made sure to dodge all of the branches in his path. Kakashi and Sakura were following close behind. It wasn't long before they reached the forest floor. They had landed in the middle of a small clearing; multiple animals scurried away at the sight of them.

Naruto swept the clearing with a glance. He couldn't spot the container anywhere. It must've landed a few yards away from here.

Not a single word was exchanged at the remaining members of Team seven split up to search the area around the clearing. Sakura went left, and Kakashi went to the right. Naruto parted some bushes as he went center.

The blonde male kept his eyes trained to the ground as he brushed past low branches, and a flurry of small plant life. After a couple minutes of searching, Naruto formed his fingers into a familiar seal. He needed to speed up this process if he wanted to get home while the sun was still up. Call him impatient but he had a woman to woo!

He went through the familiar process of gathering chakra when he heard some screaming and a few vicious snarls and growls coming from his right. It was only thanks to his ninja reflexes that he managed to step out to the way in time to avoid being crashed into. All he saw was a flash of white, and he smelled some lavender too. The speeding object was only a blur, and a breeze followed it as it zoomed by him.

It was too big and quick to be any creature he could think of from the top of his head.

"Naruto! Did you see where it went?" Sakura asked out of breath as she stumbled through the trees with Kakashi. She sounded urgent.

Naruto quickly nodded his head. "Yeah, whatever it was went that way." He pointed in the direction it had taken off in. He was surprised to find that not a single blade of grass was out of place. It was like the creature had never passed by at all.

"Good, come on, it has the container!" Sakura informed him as they started after the creature.

Naruto sped up at the new information. He didn't care what animal It was, he would skin it alive if it refused to return the box to them! Although he was hoping that it would just cooperate with them. The trio of ninja traveled for an estimated 20 minutes before they spotted the strange beast again.

Naruto stopped dead in his tracks when he got a good look at it. It was at the far end of a clearing, it was next to a tree with the container of herbs in front of it. It was carefully sniffing at it , and peering down at it with very curious eyes. Thankfully the container was fine, it wasn't opened, cracked, and it didn't appear to be chewed on.

But that's not what caught Naruto's attention.

What really garnered Naruto's attention was the creature itself.

Or, the creature herself.

She was half human; half cat. She was currently on her hands and knees as she examined the indigo cat ears were on the top of her head, turning this way and that. Her hair was also indigo, and it flowed past her shoulders and barely touched the forest floor. Naruto blushed as his eyes traveled farther down her body.

She wore no other clothing besides a fur bra that covered her large, pale chest. Her breasts gently moved with each breath she took. She also wore a pair of underwear made from the same material as the bra. As you can imagine, this left most of her body bare for wandering eyes. And boy did his eyes wander.

Her stomach was nice and flat, but also had a bit of muscle too. Her hips were wide, just the perfect size for bearing children. Her thighs were thick, perfect for a man to hold on to as they rode her. Her legs were just as pale as the rest of her body, and they were toned to perfection. Her plump, perky ass was high in the air. It looked so squeezable; he could already envision himself touching it. An indigo colored tail caught his attention. It was located right above her butt, and it was waving back and forth methodically.

Her behind rose higher as she moved her head closer to study the container. His attention was switched to her face at the slight movement.

Her eyes light lavender, and they held no pupils. They were like two moons, so big and beautiful He wanted to get lost within their depths. Her nose was tiny and cute, he watched in amusement as it wiggled a bit when she inhaled a large whiff of air. Her lips were a cute ruby red. Both her upper and lower lip was luscious and full, they looked so soft. He wanted to kiss them, to feel them against his rough ones.

All in all, she was perfect. She reminded him of one of those strange humanoid creatures from Pervy Sage's magazines. He would never admit it, but he took quite a liking to those issues. He guessed it was the inner anime pervert inside of him. The difference between her, and those other girls was that she was real, and she was a few yards away from him. She also had more curves, and she was much better endowed than the others.

He snapped out of his fantasies when she opened her mouth. He felt his stomach dropped. That was another difference between her and the models in the magazine.

They had normal teeth, and hers seemed perfect for sinking into the flesh of any animal she happened upon.

He was serious, her mouth was packed full of razor sharp teeth that threatened to tear any man apart. Each one was pointier than his sharpest kunai. It was a blessing that she seemed to have the same number of teeth as any normal person. But his attention was also drawn to her hands, and her claws. As a matter of fact, even her feet had claws. This was not just a cute little kitty. She was predator with natural weapons.

Painful natural weapons.

"Stop!" Sakura yelled. Naruto refrained from jumping out of his skin.

He understood why she was yelling. It appears that their feline foe was about to sink her teeth into the container.

She jumped a bit and her eyes and ears darted around. She instantly locked eyes with them and hissed in anger. She pushed the small, plastic box behind her. No one moved as she growled menacingly. Her nails had grown a few centimeters, and her tail was whipping back and forth violently. The hairs on her ears were standing on edge. It was clear that she was on edge and might attack if one of them approached her.

Naruto swallowed thickly. He took a brave step forward. Her eyes snapped to his. Her snarl became more vicious as she tensed up, ready to snap.

"H-hey now, calm down, we just want the box." He cooed to it as he moved in a bit closer. She snarled even louder. I didn't appear to be working.

"Nice kitty, good kitty." Naruto cooed again. He placed his hand in front of him.

This had an odd effect on the feline. She stopped snarling, and her tail stopped whipping about. She looked perplexed at his offered hand.

"There there, aren't you just a sweet little kitty?" Naruto cooed with more confidence. He made sure to keep his pace slow, although the young women had stopped snarling, she could still snap at any moment. He just needed to get close enough to subdue her and allow Kakashi and Sakura to retrieve the herbs.

He was a foot away from the cat woman. He paused when she growled softly at him. He kept his hand out; her eyes were glued to it. A bead of sweat rolled down his neck when she crawled towards him cautiously. He didn't move a muscle, her eyes would flicker up at him every once and a while.

Once she reached his hand, she brought her face close it. Her gaze flickered back up to his face for a moment. He sent her the best grin he could muster. She dropped her gaze back down to the outstretched limb.

She brought her nose in contact with his hand and sniffed it quickly before retract it quickly. She tilted her head to the side, her eyes becoming more curious than cautious. She dipped her head forward and sniffed his hand again. This time, she didn't pull back. A light blush covered Naruto's cheeks as she eagerly sniffed his hand. It was like she was trying to bury her head in his palm!

She finally pulled back her head and smiled brightly at him. Naruto blushed bit more and looked away from her. An attractive girl looking up at him with such trusting eyes while she was on her knees did things to his lower regions. Things that might cause him to be slapped.

"Um, good kitty. Now, can I have that container back?" Naruto requested politely. She wasn't as hostile as before, so there was a chance he wouldn't need to knock her out.

The feline female nodded her head eagerly at him. She backed up a bit, and used her tail to grab the box. She moved it in front of him and waited with eager eyes for something.

Naruto scratched his cheek. Well, that was easy. Now what was going to do?

"Okay, um, thanks I guess. My names Naruto, what's yours?" He decided that he might as well introduce himself. She could understand him, so what was the harm in making a new friend.

He didn't see it coming. One minute, he was peering down at her, then there was a blur and he was on his back. He let out a gasp in pain as his head collided with the forest floor. He quickly noticed that a very warm and curvy body was pressed on top of his.

Two hands were clutching his shoulder tightly and a nose was buried in his neck, inhaling his scent deeply. He stopped himself from moaning out loud, the young feline's body was moving across his sensually, especially on top of his crotch area. His eyes widened when her felt her warm, wet tongue lap at his neck. He grunted a bit before placing both of his hands on her hips. He tried to gently pry her off.

Unfortunately, this only caused her to purr and let loose a moan. Naruto's face resembled a tomato at this point.

Both Kakashi and Sakura were stunned at this spontaneous display of affection. Kakashi did mentally cheer Naruto on. The young feline was quite attractive, and she appeared to be around Naruto's age. He just hoped she didn't have any fleas…

Sakura could feel some anger rise up inside of her. Who was this strange girl, and why was she getting so cozy to her teammate? As a matter of fact, why was Naruto not doing anything about it? She grit her teeth and her hands became fists at her side. That orange wearing idiot hadn't changed at all! He was an even bigger pervert than before! She bet that he was only acting differently to get into her pants. When she got her hands on him was dead!

"Excuse me? Could you please get off?" Naruto requested hoarsely. His throat had gone dry. When did it get so hot?

Thankfully the young woman heard him. She didn't get off of him, but she did detach her face from his neck. She brought her face uncomfortably close to his. She tilted her head from one side to the other. Then she grinned at him

"Hi! I'm Hinata, not kitty! But it's okay, you can call me what you wish! I could never deny my mate anything!" She chirped happily.

Naruto's eyes furrowed in confusion. Mate? What the hell was she talking about?

He didn't have time to voice his concerns as her lips met his in passionate kiss.

Naruto's eyes bugged out of his head. Just what the hell had he gotten himself into this time!?
