Neko Protector [On HOLD]

Ch 7

Hey! So anyone who can tell me at the end how many times Tsuki makes someone sweatdrop gets an imaginary cookie! I'm just curious.

Ch 7

"Sasuke. I'm at point B." Ducky whispers into his earpiece, punctuated by static.

"Sakura. I'm at point C." Fangirl tacks on quickly. I roll my eyes and swing my legs through the air as I perch on an upper tree branch, watching the entire thing with boredom.

"Naruto. I'm at point A, Believe It!" Naruto chirps after a few seconds, making me grin.

"You're slow, Naruto." Kakashi sighs though the channel. "And where is Tsuki?"

With another eyeroll, I push myself off the branch and freefall for a second. Then I land on the tree branch Kakashi is on silently.

"Tsuki. I'm behind our sensei," I giggle, causing someone, my bet is on the mini Uchiha, to snort.

Kakashi spins around to face me, hand instinctively flying towards his kunai pouch. When he sees it was in fact just me he relaxes slightly before he bats at my head.

"Hey you fish!" I yelp as I dodge. "Don't get your panties in a twist and give the word so we can finish this silly mission!"

The earpieces in Kakashi and I's ears give shrill feedback when Naruto joins my cause loudly.

"Tsuki-chan is right, Kakashi-sensei. This mission is just a stupid chore.

Kakashi sweatdrops and looks over his shoulder at our 'target', only to see it was startled by the noise we were making and had darted off in another direction.

"Target has moved," Kakashi says urgently. "Follow it!"

Then four ninja shaped blurs can be seen leaping through the underbrush, making me sigh at the stupidity of my team. We were treating a stupid D rank "Find my run away cat" mission like it was serious. After a second of wishing this wasn't so demeaning, I take chase as well, curiosity taking over.

It was almost comical the way Ducky, Fangirl, and Naruto all leaned out from behind the trees they were using to hide, so they could peek at the cat.

"What's your distance from the target?" Kakashi asks into the head sets.

"Five meters," Naruto 'whispered'. "Just give the signal, I'm ready."

I feel like Naruto could be using the softest voice possible and you could still hear it across the room... That's just the way he was.

"I'm ready too." Ducky adds on. Seriously, everyone was taking this way too seriously. It was a cat. Virtually idiot proof.

"So am I," Fangirl tacks on.

"Yup. Give the go ahead," I shrug after a few moments, realizing they were waiting on me. "Let's get this over with."

Kakashi wastes another second before he suddenly shouts, "Now!" and we all leap into the clearing, Naruto roughly snatching up the now startled cat.

I sweatdrop when the cat yowls loudly and flails all its appendages. Scratches began to appear on Naruto's face and I realize I spoke too soon about the mission being idiot proof.

"Can you verify ribbon on right ear?" Kakashi asks us, still hidden somewhere in the foliage around us.

"Confirmative, we've got a positive ID," Ducy smirks as he ambles over to the struggling Naruto, plucks the cat off of him and tosses it to me. Apparently because I was a neko demon I was also the all powerful cat whisperer now.
