"Nyaaaa~!" I sighed happily, stretching a bit more before sitting back on my knees and rubbing the back of my hand against my feline ear instinctively as I purred and poked my tongue through my teeth, my eyes closed happily. "It's been so long! I feel so much better!"
I opened my eyes and looked at the stunned ninja, my tail swaying happily behind me. Their mouths were agape, but soon, Sakura's squeel snapped them out of it.
"Kawaiiiiiii!" She shrieked, tackling me.
"Kya! My ears!" I whimpered.
"Oh, you're so cute!" She cooed. "You're like a kitty!"
She scratched behind my ears, making me forget my ringing ears and purr with a ^w^ face.
"Nyaaaa~!" I meowed, leaning my head into her hand.
"Kawaiiiiii!" She cried again, though quieter.
"I wanna try, dattebayo!" Naruto said loudly, causing my ears to flatten against my head.
"Naruto you idiot! Too loud!" Sakura yelled, even louder than Naruto had. I hissed at them and covered my ears.
"You both are too loud," I barely heard Sai and Sasuke say together.
"Sorry!" They both yelled. I hissed again and they both covered their mouths as quickly as possible.
I slowly uncovered my ears, rubbing one to try and soothe it.
"You two do not understand how sensitive cat ears are," I grumbled.
"You're a weapon of mass destruction?" Yamato chuckled, walking over and scratching behind an ear. I immediately began to pur.
"Nya~!" I mewled, sticking my tongue out and once again making the ^w^ happy kitty face.
"Oh, I don't know Yamato," Kakashi chuckled. "Those fangs look lethal."
Yamato stopped scratching my ear and I shook my head.
"They are," I said, purring slightly as I licked my canines. "When I'm in battle, an incredibly deadly toxin covers them, instantly paralyzing my victim. They're specially designed for the tearing of flesh too," I added cheerfully. "But I prefer not to eat people, half-canabalism, you understand."
"Er, right," Sasuke muttered. I beamed as my tail swayed all around me.
"Nya! I feel so free!" I cheered happily. "It's been years since I could stretch! Bah! But my outfit is constricting my tail! I'm gonna change, then I'll make something to eat!" I decided, skipping from the room and into mine to change into a pair of red spandex shorts and an off-the-shoulder black Tshirt.
"Nya~!" I sighed, stretching as I headed for the stars. I hopped on the railing and ran down like a cat, launching myself over Kakashi's head and into the kitchen with a cheer.
"Woah, that was awesome, dattebayo!" Naruto yelled from the living room. I cringed, but heard Yamato tell Naruto to quiet down.
I'll have to thank him for that later.
"Ne, what do you guys want for dinner?" I asked, popping my head back into the living room, my ears twitching curiously.
"Ooh! Can we have ramen?!" Naruto asked, though much quieter. I grinned and nodded.
"Sure, Naruto-kun!" I chirped, heading back into the kitchen.
"Wait!" He said, running over as I looked back at him. He stopped in front of me and rubbed both my feline ears between his thumbs and pointer fingers.
"Nyaaa~!" I purred, a small blush crossing my cheeks and nose, as I made the happy kitty face.
"Gomen, Thalia-chan, I just couldn't resist," he said, letting go a minute later and rubbing the back of his head. I shook my head to clear it and grinned at him.
"It's all good bro, no harm done."
And so I returned to the kitchen to start dinner.
