Mischievous (ereri)

Chapter Three

~Eren's POV~

Arching my back, I was fully ready to pounce if they'd come any closer. I waited for a pair of hands to reach me, but that was the least of my problems. Within seconds, a leash pole—the equipment those animal control assholes use—lashed onto my small neck pulling me out.

"Hange, thanks for bringing that." The man that the woman addressed as "Levi" said.

"I brought all my equipment by the way too!!!"

"Alright... shitty glasses, but we need to clean this bastard ASAP."

"Fiiiiine."

The two guided me upstairs still leashed and into the bathroom. My wounds were stinging and made me weaker than usual, obviously. The last time I had gotten hurt like this was all the way back in my human form. Those times were a living hell honestly. By the time, I had finished my train of thought we reached the bathroom. While Levi ran the bath, the woman Hange attempted to pet me. Lashing out, I narrowed my pupils and swung my claws at her aimlessly.

"Feisty." She smirked.

My rage drained out as I felt something poking my hip. Another sharp pain coursed my entire body. I glanced back and Levi had inserted a needle into me.

You bastards.

~Levi's POV~

"This guy is a pain in my ass," I said while removing the needle.

The cat's body went limp and Hange removed the leash. The bath wasn't filled all the way, only about four inches because the cat was so small. At this point I hope he accidentally drowns and I never see it again.

It's fur was cover in dirt and made me want to puke. His fur was clumped in a few places and his ear had a little notch in it too. Hange helped wash it thoroughly and comb through it's fur. Due to all the dirt that was on it's fur, it appeared to be a dark brown, almost black color. However, after washing it, it was honestly so...pretty. It's coat was a light brown color with tan fur along it's belly. There was also speckles of tan fur scattered across it's face and back. It's tail was quite long and the same light brown color as most of his body. Running my hand across it's tail, I made sure it wasn't broken from the mouse trap.

After the bath, Hange then put a cloth over my island table downstairs and after removeing the fruit basket and bottle of wine I kept there.

"Tch. You're cleaning my table after this." I exclaim glaring daggers at Hange.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Let's focus on this guy first."

"What are you gonna do, first?"

"I'm gonna check what gender!" She said too excitedly.

Reaching over to the cat, she lifted it's leg since it was laying on it's side.

"Male. Can you write it down for me please!!"

"Fine."

Grabbing the notebook from her bag, I wrote down in cursive, 'Male' and placed it down.

"Oh can you also grab an empty needle too!"

"Fine." I said even sharper than before.

Reaching in her bag once again, I grab a small needle and handed it to her. She grabbed it instantly and stuck it inside his thigh. My face scrunched up as I saw the needle get filled with thick blood.

"I'm gonna leave while you do your thing." I said while walking upstairs to my bed. A slow wave of guilt washed over me as I reimagined the kitten falling down the stairs. Shaking my head, I continued my way upstairs and opened the door across from the bathroom leading into my bedroom. I fell face first into my pillow and sighed. Before I knew it, I was out.

-40 minutes later-

"LEVI!"

"Ughhh."

"LEVI. GET YOUR CLEAN-FREAK-ASS UP."

"Hange...what the actual fuck."

My nap was quickly interrupted by two hands pushing me off the bed. My falling body made a huge thud as I hit the ground. Aching in pain, I slowly looked over the edge of the bed still on the floor and glared at the culprit.

"I'm gonna fucking kill you."

"You say 'fuck' a lot, Levi. Learn to be nicer to your friends."

"NOW YOU'RE GONNA GET IT!"

Hange left the room giggling as she sprinted down the stairs while I followed her. I had even almost tripped as I did. I groaned as I slowed my pace and walked into the kitchen with the sleeping kitten.

"What time is it, you bitch."

"9:35pm." Hange said with an innocent smile.

"What was that for? Upstairs?"

"I found something out that you'd definitely wanna know!!" She said in singing tone.

"What. Is. It."

"Okay, okay, while you were sleeping, I was analyzing his blood, and observing it he had any diseases. But with that I was ALSO studying his DNA and his genes are quite...interesting."

"Okay, he's a cat, what else."

"That's wrong! You're little feline friend here isn't actually a full-fledged feline!"

"Huh? You lost me."

"HE'S A NEKO!"

"A...neko? The fuck is that."

"Levi..Levi..Levi..I guess you don't know everything."

I was about to slap her, but a small yawn interrupted us.

~Eren's POV~

My body felt tingly, and my vision was blurred.

What the heck?

Reality hit me once again and I jumped up on all four paws staring at the two figures with two completely different looks. Hange had a demonizing smile and Levi looked as if he was about to punch a bitch.

Wait. I remember I was just in the bathroom. Why do I smell so clean. I don't remember being bathed...or did they. Those dickheads.

The crazy lady than began to speak.

"A neko is a human who can turn into a cat. And in some cases when they're in human form, they can decide it they want cat ears and a tail along with that."

My face went pale and I backed up. Jumping off the table I sprinted to the door and attempted to jump upwards. The two starred at me with the same faces. Still scared as shit, I ran upstairs and towards a room that was open. It looked like a bedroom. The bedroom was small and had a half vaulted ceiling. The walls where white and so was the rug. There was a walk in closet towards the right of me and a queen sized bed against the left side. There was a small television mounted on the wall next to the closet parallel with the bed. There was also one large window. My escape.

I can't open windows. Fuck. Should I shift? It wouldn't matter anyways, they already know. Fuck. Fuck. Damn, I say 'Fuck' a lot.

I went with my gut and shifted anyways. It had been a while so my human body ached a little. And I was naked. Great. I slammed the door shut and ran towards the window.

"Damn, it's locked." I mumbled. The lifted the hatches and slide the window open. But before I could leave, the door swung open and my startled self fell backwards back into the room landing on the floor.
