A Box Of Kittens

Chapter 26

Yes, yes, hello, I am still alive. Sorry for not updating last week, I've been busy with a certain project that you're gonna have to wait a long time for that to be revealed ;). Here's the new chapter and- wait, hold on... 127 NOTIFICATIONS?!?! What the frick?! *dead* 

Also, I had a far better version of this, but it all got lost, somehow... so this is what you're going to have to deal with! (This is the third time I'm trying to write it out (T ^ T) )

(your name) was finishing up putting her weekly shopping into the boot of her car when, from inside the door, her phone buzzed, muffled by the car doors. Slamming the boot closed, she clambered into the seat behind the wheel and checked her phone. It was a text from (sibling's name): 

Dude, you have got to get here quick!

~~~///~~~

"I'm home!" (your name) called out as she stepped into the flat, the door behind her slamming shut as she stumbled into the entrance way, her shopping being carried at her side. "(sibling's name), get your arse down here and help your big sister!"

(sibling's name) ran into the entrance way and yanked the bags out of her hands, then running out of sight. Just as quickly as (he/she/they) had left, (sibling's name) appeared again suddenly and grabbed (your name)'s hand, dragging her into the living room, where she was unceremoniously pushed into the sofa. (sibling's name) ran out of sight once more, but promptly returned carrying two differently coloured balls of fur in their arms. The balls of fur shifted, revealing two cats that neither of them recognised.

The first one, the one in (sibling's name)'s right arm, had  dark, olive coloured fur, which was short and neat, with eyes that closely resembled molten gold. From the gap in between its ears to the tip of its tail, their was curly, plum purple fur; the fur was so curly that it could've been styled that way on purpose. There was a dark brown spot on its forehead, which resembled a bindi. This one was busy thrashing around in (sibling's name)'a arms, trying to get free.

The second one, the one being held in the left arm, looked similar to the first, but with noticeable differences: the plum hair owned by the first cat wasn't nearly as long as the second's, nor as white. The sounds cat's eyes were slate-grey, and it too possessed a bindi-like marking. The whole front right paw- and arm- was covered in a bandage, for an unknown reason.

"Unhand me this instant!" the first cat demanded, wriggling around, trying to escape (sibling's name)'s grip (he/she/they) had on it. That voice sounds familiar...

"My Prince, please calm down," the second cat responded, gazing at the other in concern. That voice also sounds familiar!

"Soma, Agni?" Ciel asked, wandering over to the two, the others following behind him. Undertaker was stood off to the side, nibbling on a dog biscuit he had found in his pocket.

"Ciel?" Soma has stopped trying to escape briefly to swivel his head in the direction Ciel's voice had come from. Seeing him, he leapt out of (sibling's name)'s arms and onto Ciel, suffocating him with a mixture of a bone-crushing embrace and an excess amount of hair getting into his mouth, at which Ciel spat out disgustedly. "Thank the Gods, for we have finally found you!"

"Master Ciel, what happened to your eye? It's all purple with what looks like a pentagram in the middle," Agni asked. Hearing this, Soma sprung back and analysed Ciel's face, crying out in sadness once he had found what happened to the eye he always covered. Ciel froze in shock- and fear- at what Agni said, what calmed down quickly and smoothly replied: "The men who took me as a child did this to my eye. They were trying to summon the devil, and used me as bait. As you know, this undoubtedly failed."

A small smirk appeared on Sebastian's face. Alois looked confused, and was about about to say the real reason why he has the mark on his eye when Claude stepped on his paw, whispering a smal,l "Sorry, your Highness".

"How many more characters are going to turn into cats?" (your name) asked herself exasperately, to which (sibling's name) just shrugged and went through the bags of shopping for a snack to eat. (he/she/they) pulled out a bag of crisps and opened it, shoving the contents of the bag into (his/her/their) mouth.

"Um, Mr Tanaka?" Finny asked nervously, playing with a hole in the corner of his uniform. The man in question turned around.

"Yes, Finny?"

"Where's Prince Soma and Mr Agni?"

I tried my best with making Soma and Agni into cars, I really did. Anyway, thanks for all the comments, votes, etc, it really means a lot to hear that you guys enjoy it. As for that project I'm mentioned at the beginning... that's a secret ;)
