- Tale of the Two Cats -
Full Summary
Iruka moved to Konoha and brought along his pet cat, Naruto. There, the yellow feline met another cat who saved him from being bullied by a few stray cats. The black cat, Sasuke, was an arrogant loner - very much the opposite of the hyper and happy-go-lucky nine-tailed cat. The larger of the two belonged to Iruka's friend, Kakashi, who also was his secret admirer. Every single day, the silver-haired man would come to his house, bringing Sasuke along. So, the two cats, who started as enemies, became friends. The rest...just read it to find out!
(Note: Naruto and Sasuke as cats doesn't mean that they are really being cats. They are just being Sasu-neko and Naru-neko, that is a chibified person with cats' ears and tails. Some of these cats, like Naruto, have paws, the others, like Sasuke, have real human hands. So, please don't go and ask me if they smile, frown or do something that only humans can do.)
Anousa, people! Well, here I am again, with a brand new story for you all! Hope you'll enjoy this one! It's a really cute story about love and friendship! And I also brought many random characters to help me with this story! First one to come; Sabaku no Gaara!
Gaara: Why am I being called again?
Koneko: To accompany me throughout this story! But don't worry, you won't be the only one!
Gaara: Right... So, who else are going to be here as well?
Koneko: I don't know! I'll think about it sometime later!

Hm...I wonder which character I should bring next? Oh well, while I think about it, why don't we start the story? Yosh! Woot!
Note
You're about to enter the sweet world of shonen-ai and yaoi, so beware! If you don't like these kinds of stuff or you're just homophobic, then just nicely go back and leave the rest of us to enjoy it, okay? Also, please don't flame me! My works aren't really that good, but please, don't flame! I do appreciate suggestions to improve my story though.
Pairings
Mostly SasuNaru, KakaIru, GaaNeko, implied SaiSaku, KibaHina, ShikaTema
Disclaimer
The original Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto-sensei (and of course, Sasuke). Neither the story nor the characters have any relation to my humble self, so please don't sue me! I do own the idea of this story and a few characters inside it.
Well now, enough blabbering! Just get on with the story already! Three, two, one! Here it comes! Woot!
Chapter One: New Place, New Scenario, New...Friend?
"Well, here we are!"
The little cat, who had been sleeping, heard his master's voice and opened one eye. He yawned and blinked, stretching himself. Getting up on his feet, he hopped off the roofless car. He playfully ran along the stony lane until he reached his master who was standing at the front of the huge double-storey bungalow. He looked up, feeling rather tiny compared to the house.
"So, what do you think?"
"Meow!"
"You like it? Hm, Naruto?"
The pussy mewed again, both eyes curving into upside-down Us. The brunette bent down and ruffled Naruto's golden hair. Picking him up, he brought him to the gate and put him down. The feline looked at the scarred man with his big azure eyes. He wondered why his master left him outside the house compound.
"Gomen Naruto, but you have to stay outside for a while. How about you go have a walk around first?" the man smiled.
"Iruka-sensei! We need a hand here!" a man called.
"Coming!" he replied. "Well, I have to go now! Don't wander off too far, okay?"
Naruto nodded, understanding what his master had just said. He then headed for the streets. Playfully, he leaped on the pedestrian lane and ran until he reached a junction. With curiosity, he turned towards the junction. He walked slowly down the dark, empty lane. Suddenly, he felt like something was following him.
"W-who's there?!" he yelled (1).
There was no answer. Frowning worriedly, he quickened his pace - only to bump into three rather large, ferocious-looking alley cats. He gulped and turned back, but was stopped by two more alley cats that didn't look any better. He was really afraid that he couldn't do anything other than positioning himself in a defensive position.
"Hello there," one of them said. "I've never seen you before. Are you new here?"
"Uh..."
"You're such a beauty...oh, and look! You have nine tails!"
"No, don't touch it!"
One of the cats pulled his tail. He meowed loudly in pain. All the stray cats laughed and continued to tease him. He knew he could do nothing to defend himself as all the cats were much bigger than him. He could only pray that someone will help him. He shut his eyes tightly when one of the cats was about to hit him.
"Stop right there!"
"Huh?" Naruto opened his eyes.
"Shit! It's the Prince!"
"Let's get the hell out of here!"
Immediately, the alley cats ran away. Naruto watched in surprise as the cats disappeared into another lane. Then, he turned towards his saver. It was a blue-black cat, with a fan-shaped pendant hanging down his neck. Still terrified, Naruto stayed at the same place, only waiting for the feline to approach him. The cat didn't do that though. Instead, he turned around and walked the other way.
"H-hey! Wait!"
The so-called Prince turned around with a cold expression. "What do you want, dobe?"
The yellow cat felt his eye twitched in annoyance. "Don't call me that, teme! Hmph! I won't ever thank you for saving me, you arrogant bastard!" he puffed up his cheeks.
"Whatever..." the cat began to walk away. "I should just left you with that idiots..."
"Hey, wait up!" Naruto chased after him.
"Leave me alone!"
Though he didn't want to do it, but the smaller feline felt the need to thank his saver. "I...uh...arigatou...for helping me..."
"Whatever...will you please get the hell out of here right this moment?!"
The golden kitty ignored the black cat's demand and continued to follow him. "My name is Naruto, what's yours?" he asked.
"Is it that important for you to know?"
"Of course! You are my friend, so I have to know your name!"
"The heck?" the larger feline frowned. "Since when did I agree to be your friend?"
"Um..."
"You're so annoying, you know that? I don't even want to know a single thing about you, so just get the fuck out of my sight!"
With that, he leaped onto a nearby wall and left Naruto dumbfounded on the street. His ears dropped in disappointment. Slowly, he headed home. Luckily, when he reached the house, Iruka had already finished arranging the furnitures. He walked silently into the house and hopped onto the sofa, pouting slightly as he started to get drowsy.
About ten minutes later...
"Oh, you're back already?"
Naruto heard him, but decided to ignore it. He grumbled unhappily as he changed his position. The brunette looked at him, knowing something was not right with his beloved kitty. Slowly, he approached the cat and sat beside him on the sofa. The feline made another grumbling sound and looked away from Iruka.
"You don't seem to be your usual self," the man patted the neko's head. "Something the matter?"
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Iruka went to get the door, leaving Naruto who was still lying on the sofa. He closed back his azure eyes and frowned. 'Darn that teme! Who does he think he is?! And why the hell am I getting so angry and frustrated about it?! Darn! Darn! Darn!' he grumbled again, louder that time. He was really mad at the black cat for ignoring him earlier.
'Nobody have ever ignored me like that! Kuso! I can't sleep thinking about him!'
"Naruto...!" Iruka suddenly called him from the hallway. "A kind neighbour of ours is here, and he brought his little cat along! Why don't you come here and befriended him? Naruto...!"
"Naruto? It means 'fishcake', isn't it?" the other man asked.
"Yeah, I gave him that name because he's really into fishcakes!" the brunette laughed. "By the way Kakashi-sensei, what's your cat's name?"
At the same time, Naruto walked lazily towards them. Then, he noticed the cat who was cleaning himself beside the stairs. 'He looked familiar...' the yellow cat thought, observing the other cat. It was blue-black in colour, and it had the exact pendant that his saver had. The larger of the two noticed him. He stopped cleaning himself and slowly approached Kakashi.
The silver-haired guy smiled as he picked his feline up. "His name is Sasuke."
'Sasuke? So that's his name!' Naruto beamed in his thoughts and meowed delightfully.
"Naruto is really cute. Why don't you go and play with him, Sasuke?" the taller man said and put the black cat down.
"You again..."
"Yeah! Me again! It's fate, isn't it?" Naruto began to blabber. "So, would like to be my friend now?"
'This. Is. So. Not. Going. To. Be. Good...'
