Pakkun hated when the sky decided to burst into wet droplets that were solely done to ruin his soft paw pads and silky coat. It made his fur feel weird and made it stinky in the worst ways. Although the little ninken, did enjoy bathtime with Boss (even now, the Boss was a little pup himself in some ways). They were heading home from another mission, after a debrief by Boss’s alpha female when the rain started. Boss sighed loudly, sticking his hands in his pockets as they continued to walk through Konoha. He seemed more sullen than normal.
Just as they rounded a corner, Pakkun smelled Floral Green. Did Boss know that she was here? A part of Pakkun was surprised that Boss did not pick up on Floral Green’s scent. Maybe when they ran into her, Pakkun could remind Boss of the mating rituals that Pakkun taught him when he was a smaller pup. It seemed like the Boss was never doing the attracting part right, considering the lack of mates he’s had. Then again, Boss refused to do those mating rituals with Floral Green and Boss liked her. It was frustrating because Floral Green would be a great mate to have, she shall give amazing pups. Why did Boss refuse to mate with Floral Green?
As Pakkun was keeping his eyes open for Foral Green a cat ran right into him, tipping them both over. Boss stopped when both the mangy cat and him made noises of displeasure. “Watch i-” Pakkun stopped his attempt of berating the annoying feline and realized that the cat smelled like Floral Green. Pakkun blinked.
“Help! I messed up!” Floral Green cried out as she attempted to scratch Boss’s legs to death, but no claws.
“Hello little kitty.” Boss said with mild affection. Pakkun blinked again.
“Sensei! I’m Sa-ku-ra!” Floral Green screamed.
“Maa, poor little kitty, must be so scared.” Boss scratched the head of the black cat version of Floral Green. Why was Floral Green a cat? Why was she a black cat? Her fur was pink.
Pakkun was one of the smartest ninken out there, and he used it. Often. Tracking now whatever the objective was for missions that Boss had. Instead of saying anything about Floral Green being a cat, Pakkun kept his mouth shut. “I think the cat is hungry.” Floral Green stopped scratching at Boss’s legs without any claws out, and glared at Pakkun, her tail twitched in irritation. “And scared.” Pakkun knew that his human liked Floral Green and yet refused to mate with her. Sometimes humans were dumb.
“Maa, poor kitty.” With this little debacle, it would awaken Floral Green’s eyes. She was spunky and full of life.
“Boss, the cat smells nice, despite the dirty smell-” Floral Green glared even harder at Pakkun, who promptly ignored her glares. “-can we bring the cat home?” She would make the first move if she truly knew the depth of her ‘sensei’s’ emotions. This was a very good plan. Boss needed pups of his own. He had a duty to provide the pack with more pups. They were good at raising pups, they did raise Boss after all.
Floral Green was still trying to tell Boss that she was Floral Green. “Maa, since you seem to like this kitty, why not?” This was a very good plan.
~🐈⬛~
Boss bathed Pakkun and Floral Green, who was being remarkably calm about being bathed as a cat. Pakkun decided to forgo a longer bath time (which was the usual) in order for Boss to bond with Floral Green, well at least bond with as a cat. His coat still felt off, but it was worth it if Boss finally had pups of his own. Pakkun wanted grandpups! Preferably six, a proper litter size, but he’ll accept two to start off.
“What do cats like to eat?” Boss asked absentmindedly as he continued bathing Floral Green. Pakkun thought cats hated water, then again, Floral Green was a human in a cat shaped body.
“Sensei! I am not a cat!” She whined. Boss chuckled at her probable meowing. He lifted her up and was staring at those bright green eyes. Would Boss realize who the cat was? The black fur wasn’t helping.
“Wet food.” Pakkun answered as he wondered how she turned into a black cat and not a pink one. It was so odd.
Floral Green reached out towards Boss and a claw caught his mask, and she accidentally pulled it down. Her little kitty body went slack as she must’ve realized that she finally got to see Boss’s face. All it took was her turning into a cat. Boss chuckled. “Only my ninken are allowed to see my face, but I guess you can to.”
“What about Floral Green, Boss?” Pakkun pushed.
He hummed thoughtfully. “Wishful thinking.”
“What do you mean by ‘wishful thinking?’” Floral Green asked as her ears and tail twitched.
“Are you hungry, kitty?” Boss finally put her down and then scratched the top of her head. “I’ll go get you some cat appropriate food. Afraid all I have is human and dog food.”
~🐈⬛~
“Maa. I need to give you a name.” Pakkun’s ears perked up. This was going to be great! “Are you a boy kitty or a girl kitty?” Boss asked as he unceremoniously lifted a leg and looked between her hind legs.
“Sensei! Stop!” Floral Green hollered, trying to shake Boss. Pakkun tried so hard not to laugh at her predicament.
“Maa, girl kitty. I wonder if your spayed or not.” Floral Green began hissing. “I should have you spayed; I don’t want you making more little kitties.”
“No spaying! I want children one day!” Her yowls were clearly ones of displeasure, even to Boss.
“Maa, maa. No spaying. But you can’t go outside.” Floral Green’s exasperated face spoke volumes to how much she hated everything right now. “Don’t need you making more kitties, even though you are a very pretty kitty.” Foral Green froze. “I wonder if she wants to have children?” Boss asked absentmindedly. “It would be weird to name you after her, so Yumemigusa.” Very clever Boss.
“I’m pretty?” Pakkun was desperately trying not to laugh at her predicament.
“Maa, I’m so glad you like that name.”
“I prefer my real name, but Yumemigusa works. I guess.”
~🐈⬛~
Floral Green was staring at Boss when they came home from an ANBU mission, at least he wasn’t covered in blood. This time. But Floral Green got to see him in his mask and ANBU uniform. Floral Green was so still, she almost looked like a statue, only her flicking tail gave that she was alive. Pakkun may have been a ninken (he liked being a ‘dog’ thank you very much), but he recognized attraction when he saw it. Good. His plan was working wonderfully.
Her tail flicked around even more when Boss began to strip off the armor. Floral Green moved closer to him and began rubbing herself against his leg. “You missed me?”
“Yes.”
“I missed you too, Yumemigusa.” Boss began patting and giving the coveted scritches to Floral Green. “Unfortunately, there is someone else I miss even more than you.” Her tail twitched, almost angrily. Pakkun bit his tongue to swallow the laughter was threatening to come up. “She won’t ever see me like that though.” Oh, come on Boss! Just say Floral Green’s name! Boss continued to strip and give scritches.
~🐈⬛~
Floral Green had the zoomies. Pakkun watched. Running around all over the apartment at such high speeds. So, Boss got her toys for her to play with that were more cat appropriate. Pakkun was enjoying the view of Floral Green acting like a cat with the little mouse toy. She stopped trying to gut it and stared at Boss and then bolted away. Screaming her head off about being a human in a cat body, Boss chuckled and said that cats were some of the most random creatures on the planet. Floral Green’s behavior was even more baffling.
“Yumemigusa!” Boss chuckled as he called her ‘name.’ He even chased after her. “Come on. Let’s play!” Floral Green came running out of the room, dragging a medical book from somewhere. Her paw tapping on the book.
“Boss, where did you get that?” Pakkun asked.
Floral Green was trying to let Boss know that she was Floral Green. “Um, I borrowed it from her.” Yeah, ‘borrowed.’ “She’s a medic, so I wanted to know more about her field. Yumemigusa, this stays between us. Okay?”
“I don’t even know who this woman is! Which medic!? Is it Shizune? I bet it’s Shizune. She’s been hanging around you too much.” Pakkun bit his tongue again. It seemed like Floral Green has developed a little crush on Boss.
“I’ll take that as a ‘yes.’” Boss gave Floral Green more scritches. It made his skin feel hot. He blinked. Great, now he was jealous of a cat. Granted that cat was Floral Green and Pakkun wanted grandpuppies! But Pakkun wanted those damn scritches! He should have Bull sit on her for a couple seconds, just so that he could get some of those scritches. He deserved them for trying to get the Boss his desired mate after all.
~🐈⬛~
Floral Green was in heat now. Pakkun advised him how to treat the poor female cat. Because the mother of his future grandpups was rubbing on everything. The furniture, the walls, and especially Boss. Rubbing her body against him, and he’d just return the affection. She was even singing the song of her people. Acting more cat like. Worry because to creep up Pakkun’s spine. Oh no.
~🐈⬛~
Pakkun took note of how Floral Green was even now using the litter box that Boss got. Playing with the cat toys more. Less actual talking, and more cat noises. Boss even used the laser pointer, which she often ignored and was now chasing around the silly thing. This was a big oh no.
One time Floral Green was licking herself! Pakkun needed to do something about this. If he told Boss, then he was caught. Maybe he should approach Floral Green about it. But how? Boss had good hearing (stupid wolf genetics, but that helped with pack), so Pakkun would have to be stealthy.
~🐈⬛~
Boss acted like Boss when he was home. Pakkun caught Floral Green staring at Boss. Especially when he bathed, who had a habit of singing in said human bath time. Today was one such occasion, and Pakkun thought it would be the perfect timing to talk to Floral Green. Her tail was flicking around, and her ears pointed right at him.
Pakkun decided to break the silence and sat next to her. Speaking lowly so Boss couldn’t hear with his singing and bathing standing up. “So, have you noticed, Floral Green?”
Floral Green’s head whipped at him. “You can understand me?” She hissed.
“Always have.” Her hissing was cute. Maybe Floral Green could use it on Boss, at least when she was human, it’d be a funny way of a mating ritual. Then again, humans were funny. Why do the females try and chase the males? How would the males know if the females were any good? “So, have you noticed Floral Green?”
“That he has a crush me. Well, Haruno Sakura.”
“How’d you become a cat?”
“I was trying to use my chakra to enhance my senses and agility to be like a cat. Not in a way to stretch muscles, but how a cat has a floating rib cage, but I had instead turned myself into a cat.” Floral Green sighed. “Did you really know since the very beginning?”
“Yup. Boss has a crush on you. I thought if you got to see his real self, you might make the first move. Humans are so weird. We poor male bastards are lucky to get the females to look our way, but humans have this stupid idea of having the females chase the males. How would the males know if the female was a good mating partner? Boss needs to improve his litter making abilities. I want grandpuppies.” At this point, Pakkun was grumbling his frustrations at his human pup named Kakashi.
“So, why now?”
“I’m worried that you're becoming too catlike.”
Floral Green nodded as her tailed flickered around. “I don’t know how I even managed to get cat form; it’s why I chased down Sensei.”
“You need to stop calling him that.”
“Why do you care so much about me becoming his- uh, mate?” Floral Green asked as her tail flicked around.
“You are the first female human that Boss likes. Boss goes out of his way for you, and no one else.” Pakkun had to drive it home. Humans were so silly sometimes. “Floral Green, will you break his heart?”
“Why would I do that?”
“I don’t know, Floral Green. Many others have hurt Boss, as much as I want grand puppies, I don’t want to see him hurt.”
“Sasuke broke my heart, why would I do that to someone else?” Floral Green had a good point. They went back to enjoying Boss’s singing. “No one is every going to believe me.” Pakkun let out a bark like laughter.
~🐈⬛~
Floral Green and Pakkun were sharing Boss’s chest at night, when Boss was in his bed. The human-turned-cat actually got into a fight with the ninken about Boss’s limited chest space. Boss had to pull them apart. Now they had to share. Pakkun did not want to share. For once, Pakkun missed having alone time with Boss. He hoped that Floral Green would turn back into a human soon. Instead of this cat form.
~🐈⬛~
Pakkun was taking a nap on the couch when he heard the usual sounds of Boss pleasuring himself from his room. What a waste of potential pups. The moans grew louder than usual, Boss whimpered like how Bull would when not given a tasty treat, and that was when Pakkun realized the door was slightly open. Pakkun tried to ignore Boss, even as he started moaning Floral Green’s human name.
Whatever.
Floral Green might find it either very funny or see Boss as a sexual creature. Where was Floral Green? Pakkun lifted his head and yawned. Boss screamed as a loud thud was heard. Pakkun raced towards the sounds. Pakkun found Boss and human Floral Green both naked in Boss's room and on the floor. Boss’s legs were spread eagle, with one leg still hanging off the bed he apparently fallen from, and he had made an embarrassing mess of himself, again. What a waste of the potential grandpuppies. Floral Green who was sitting exactly how she usually sat as a cat. In Pakkun’s humble opinion, she looked more like a frog than a cat.
“Oh, that’s where you went to.” Their faces were beginning to turn a lovely shade of red. “Now, make me some grand puppies.” Pakkun ‘poofed’ out of this dimension. The last thing he heard was Boss yelling at him.
