Leorio and Kurapika as cats is what's gonna keep me alive.
-

Kurapika tackled Leorio, but he was so much smaller that nothing really happened. He scratched and kicked him, then jumped off.

"You're not listening!" Kurapika yelled, pouncing again. He bit down on Leorio's ear, finally getting a reaction. "We need to find a way to break this nenjutsu."

"Relax, Kurapika." Leorio pushed him off with hardly any effort, then stretched lazily. "A few days as cats isn't gonna kill us."

"It might!" Kurapika protested. "What if we get attacked by dogs? What if we eat rat poisoning? What if someone sees a black cat in the road and decides to run it over with their car?!"

"Kurapika, you're blond."

"AND YOURE A BLACK CAT, LEORIO!"

Leorio looked down at his paw and licked it idly. "Oh. Cool."

"Cool? You think this is cool? Leorio, our lives are in jeopardy, could you please at least pretend that you care?"

Leorio stood and slinked over to the other cat. He rubbed up against him, curling his tail around Kurapika's face as he passed. "Being a cat ain't so bad, sunshine! Cats are lazy and sneaky and very cute!"

"Cats are not cute." Kurapika disagreed, pouting despite the way Leorio was rubbing his face on him.

"You are a very cute cat." Leorio said. He purred, and laid down on the ground. "How about this: we spend one day as cats, then we go to Gon and Killua for help."

"How are they going to help?"

Leorio shrugged. "They're smart kids. Now come over here, you've got dirt on your face from wrestling."

"I do not have dirt on my face." Kurpaika grumbled, laying down with him.

Leorio began to lick his face, grooming away the imaginary dirt. The purring, the massage on his itchy face, the strange sense of love and affection from being groomed... Kurapika closed his eyes to stop them from watering. This was unexpectedly nice.

"Are you purring, my love?"

"I am not." Kurapika insisted, despite his body vibrating.

Leorio kissed his face, and smoothed out his neck and shoulders with his paw. "We're gonna be okay. I promise."

Kurapika leaned against him. "I hope you're right."

Gon's smile was big enough to mask Killua's confusion. Both boys stared down at the cats, hunched over with their hands on their knees.

"You're sure this is Leorio and Kurapika?" Killua speculated.

Gon nodded. "Look, this one even has the little earring."

"And you can talk to them?"

"I can understand what they say, and they can understand what we say." Gon reached out and petted Kurapika, scratching under his chin.

Killua reached toward Leorio who looked at him warily. "Theres no way this on is the old man, he'd have gray hairs."

"Hey!" Leorio batted Killua's hand away and hissed loudly.

"I told you, they can understand us." Gon said, standing up with Kurapika safely tucked in his arms.

Killua tried to pick up Leorio, but he dashed away too fast. "Hey, come here! You little- ouch!"

Leorio had turned on Killua, who'd been chasing him, and jumped on top of his head to get away. The two chased and ran for a while longer while Gon and Kurapika merely watched.

"How can we change back?"

"Hmm, I've got a friend out in York New that performs exorcisms. We can go see him right away."

-

Kurapika attacking people, and getting picked up by the scruff of his neck, which immobilizes him.

-

Leorio and Kurapika cuddling as cats.

Hunting together as cats.

Being little shits and driving Killua crazy. As cats.
