Unexpected

Chapter 1

I don't where to start. I guess I should start from the beginning. My name is Makkusu Ride, or Max for short. I'm six-teen years old. I live in L.A. CA. I live alone. My family is dead. I am the only one left. I have only six friends. Shay, Kiki, Nick, Jeff, Clare, Gabby. We have all been friends since pre-school. We all have the same obsession. The Akatsuki from the anime from Naruto. We all LOVE anime! We all write fanfictions. (Hey you forgot about ME!!!) Oh! I lied about how many friends I have. I have eight friends. I forgot about A.J. Sorry A.J. Anyway, you know how people write fanfics about the Akatsuki coming to the human world? Well, my life turned into one May 28, 2006. This is what happened.

It was the last Saturday before summer. I was hanging out with my friends at the mall and was walking home. I was walking through town. I passed by an alley and heard a meow. I look down to see a small, blond kitten. He had his paw stuck in a crate. I walked into the alley and knelt down next to him.

"Hey there. Are you stuck?"

He meowed. I giggled. He tried to get his paw free but had no luck.

"Here. Let me help you." I laughed.

I reached down and freed his paw. As soon as he was free he ran behind a box. I giggled again. He poked his head out from behind the box and looked at me. He tilted his head. I smiled and held out my hand.

"Come here boy. I won't hurt you." I said.

He came out hesitantly. He sniffed my hand, then rubbed his head on my hand. I petted his head then stroked his back. I then heard someone yell. I turned around to see a man with a net.

"Give me that cat!" he yelled at me.

"No!" I said.

He took a step towards me and repeated himself. I picked up the cat and hugged him to my chest.

"No! I'm not letting you take this little cat!" I retorted.

He laughed.

"Oh? And why is that? Is it yours?" he asked smugly.

"Well... No but..." I tried to say but the man cut me off.

"Then give me that cat!" he yelled.

"NO!" I yelled, louder than him. I then added, "I'm going to keep this cat! He did nothing wrong! So there's no reason to take him anywhere but a nice home! And defiantly not a shelter!"

By now lots of people had gathered to see what the yelling was about.

Someone shouted, "Let the girl keep the cat!"

Then everyone started yelling, "YA! LET HER KEEP THE CAT!"

The man rolled his eyes and said, "All right, all right. She can keep the stupid cat."

Everyone cheered and the man left. I thanked everyone for helping me. Everyone left and I turned my attention to the cat.

"Are you ok little guy?"

I don't know if he really did this, but it seemed like he nodded.

"Good." I said then kiss his head.

He purred. Then I heard another meow. I look down and saw another kitten. This one was silver grey, and he had one of those plastic things that holds soda cans together around his neck. Don't ask how he got that thing on his neck considering his head was bigger than the hole.

"Well, aren't you in a bit of trouble aren't you?" I said to him.

He hissed at me and the blond cat hissed back at him.
