Coco The Crazy Cat Kunoichi

Today the rain in Amegakure was coming down in buckets. Even those raised in the rainy city would no doubt find the entire situation uncomfortable. It was needle rain as the locals like to call it, rain that stung when it clashed against exposed skin. Luckily Coco had her fat yellow umbrella acting as her canopy. "Asinine." She whispered to herself. "This entire thing is asinine!" This time she yelled and the noise echoed throughout an nearby empty store front. Beneath her heavy scarf Coco's ears twice. They were listening intently for her target. A cat named pinky.


That was the problem with being one of the only ninja's in a village, you end up getting most of the assignments. However this wasn't the first cat, Coco had been sent after. She knew exactly where the flee bag would go.


The alley right behind the butcher's shop on second street. It was covered by a canopy making it dry, and all the scraps ended up in the dumpster out back. In that alley there was a small kingdom of cats, most strays usually ended up there. Coco prayed she would too, if not. Good greif ,there's and entire city of abandoned buildings the varmint could be hiding in.


Stealthily Coco crept around the corner of that very alley. There was a small swarm of felines swarming around the dumpster. From the folds of her grey jacket Coco produced a photo of the offending cat: all white with a blue collar. Easy enough.


"Pinky!" Coco shouted as she emerged from around the corner. All the cat's heads snapped towards the intruder. "Momma's come for you." The moment she stepped forward the herd of cats broke in all directions. six scaled the wall running towards higher plateaus. While the rest made a B-line towards the mouth of the alley. Coco held her ground and stared down the cats. Brown, black, black, grey brown. Then a flash of white!

Like a bear in the river Coco snatched the white furred cat up by the scruff of it's neck and held it aloft in her free hand. "Haha got you now you little..." She paused noticing this particular white cat had a large brown splotch along the entire right side of it's body. "You're not pinky." The cat could only 'meow' sadly. "You little tease! I..." Before Coco could even begin chastising the cat, the jingling of bells caught her attention. A collar was near by. "Pinky!" She exclaimed before tossing the current cat over her shoulder. The animal landed with a loud 'Merow!'


"Pinky!" Coco shouted once more rounding the corner. Through the heavy rain Coco could make out the form of a fleeing white cat dashing down the road. "You can't escape." The rain ninja flew into a full sprint, though her umbrella anchored her down considerably. Still she was making headway. The beast she was chasing was lazy and fat, and probably had only run from one side of the house to the other. Coco on the other hand was lazy and think, a distinct advantage! That cat didn't stand a chance!


Within mere moments Coco swept pinky up into her free arm. "Gotcha you flee bitten mongrel. Let's go home." In protest Pinky tried to sink her fangs into Coco's arm. However it wasn't prepared for the four layers of clothing Coco had on underneath her rain slicker. It's teeth sunk harmlessly into Coco's puffy outfit. "Nice try." Coco giggled, grabbing the cat by the scruff of it's neck. "Now as punishment for biting me." She extended her arm out from the safety of her umbrellas and into the stinging rain of Amegakure. "You get to walk in the rain." The impotent cat could only 'Mrow' in protest.

Approved, and yes you may.

"Come back!"  Wildly Coco Tore through the streets of Amegakure. Today the storms had delightfully light. So light that Coco could almost see the sun through the thin clouds. Light enough that she was able to find a good amount of traction upon the only-damp streets. It'd been a lovely day. Unfortunately the almost-shining sun heated up the whole city. Turning it's normally frigid weather into a sweltering bog. Coco was absolutely broiling within her four layer outfit. For once she was soaking wet without any help from the rain whatsoever.

Of course the fact that she was in the midst of a high speed chase with a cat didn't help matters. Again, yet another cat had escaped from it's owner. A wiser ninja would have found it suspicious, but Coco could only find it frustrating.  If she kept doing stuff like this people would start thinking that, that was all she was good for.

Still she couldn't say that it wasn't good exercise. The little demon she was after today scary fast. It was almost faster than Coco, almost. The beast had lead her on a merry chance from the canals, all the way to the manufacturing district, but it was over now. The black cat took a wrong turn and ended up in an alley way where three sky scrapers connected. The only out was the way he came in, and there was a Coco blocking that way.

"No way out you over grown rat." Coco pronounced proudly. If there was one thing to be said for all of this cat catching, she was getting pretty good at it. In front of her Midnight the Cat stood still taking in the full height of skyscraper who's shadow he stood in. It was a fifty foot clime on a smooth wall before the three buildings finally separated. An impossible climb even for a cat. It'd been thoroughly trapped. Rats.

Carefully Coco approached her target. She'd been careless last time, and it'd cost her a scarf. She wouldn't make the same mistake twice. "Come on midnight, come to momma." She purred, inching forwards.

With a final murmur the cat leapt forward at the wall in front of it. Impossibly it'd managed to find some purchase on the featureless was, and began to ascend vertically.

"What the?" Coco's Shoulders slumped. Was it ever easy. Midnight was tearing up the wall of the skyscraper, not even faltering in his steps. "I'm not going to be out done by a cat!" With feline fuled furry, and frustration she flew forward. She leapt unto the building's wall and with the right amount of chakra her feet held. She stretched her umbrella directly in front of her, and began her ascent.

Normally she'd take something like this nice and slow. Carefully. She didn't want to enjoy a fall like last time. Her shoulder's still ached. Recklessness could easily lead to a failure during a mission. Just the same casually sauntering up the side of a building during a chase would more than likely lead to a failure as well. So begrudgingly She for was forced to run up the building at top speed!

She was actually relatively impressed with herself. Her foot had slipped several times but for the most part this chase had been no different then the one on the ground. Only of course this one was much more exhausting. There was no way she'd be able to get to the top of the tower before her chakra pooped out on her.

On the other on Midnight showed no sign of struggle, or exhaustion. His padded cat paws managed to find perfect purchase every step of the way. It was bizarre, and embarrassing to a fully trained ninja genin. This was no ordinary cat.

Part way up the tower there was an office exposed to the world. The windows to it had been broken open long ago. Now the room sat gapping open, subject to rain and wind on a daily basis. Good thing to, because Coco was just about out.

Midnight must have been too, because the second he got within range the cat leapt for the room. Up ahead of her Coco could see that cat entering the room through an exposed wind. "Nowhere to run now." Sure the thing hadn't been trapped back there in the alley, but now they'd be sixty feet in the air! Midnight time was fast approaching.

With a final burst of effort jumped from the side of the building into the maw of the exposed room. She'd only managed to get her feet half way secured before she saw a bolt of black charging at her from within the room. "Midnight no!" Coco held out her free hand in protest, but the runaway cat slammed into her like a ram.

The air flew from Coco's lungs, and she tedered on the edge of the abyss. Then at the worst possible moment a gust of air flew through the village. Coco's umbrella caught a good amount of it and attempted to fly out of the building. "Nonononononononononono." The umbrella sent her already unbalance body over the edge.

Not too far over he edge though. With all of her remaining chakra Coco's feet gripped onto the edge of the building, and they stuck! She let out a massive sigh of relief, as she stood at a ninety degree angle with the ground. "Stupid cat." She grunted throwing herself into the room. she desperately hoped the cat wouldn't' push her off again, because if he did she'd be dead for sure.

Her tired green eyes scanned the room. No sign of midnight, anywhere. During her struggles, the beast must have run off. She wasn't dealing with any ordinary cat. Again a wiser ninja may have been concerned with what this implied, but for the moment Coco was simply concerned with how she'd get down.

She didn't have enough chakra to go back the way she came, and she didn't doubt that the tower's elevator had been dead for some time. "Looks like i'm taking the stairs."

"Come on come on come on!" Coco as well as her umbrella were drilling through the rain. She'd just gotten the news: A robbery at the Ninja Tool Shop. Bandits probably. That couldn't stand, not one bit. The moment any bandits learned that they could rob Amegakure blind without any consequences they'd all be doing. It was absolutely true, but she couldn't let them know that.

No this transgression had to be met with overwhelming force! At least as much over whelming force that a single genin could produce.

As she quickly approached the shop she readied a shuriken, hoping the advantage of surprise would be able to aid her here. The shop owner stood outside of the building pointing frantically to an alley. "They went that way! Down the alley. They, they..."

"Got!" At a hearty speed of 25 Coco flew into the alley, nestled right between a open ramen shop, and a defunct hairdressers. "I got you now you... what the?"

Prancing down the alley way were six cats. In their mouths they carried all sorts of scary and stolen weaponry?

"Cats?" The Crew of cats turned around and face their interloper. At the head of the group was a cat the color of coal. "Midnight." Coco growled. She vividly remembered their last encounter. The beast had nearly slain her. The two locked eyes for a minute and squinted their eyes. "You're not getting away this time, pussycat."

"Meow." The beast retorted looking slightly cocky at his clever rebuttal. He motioned for three of the cats to stay behind and guard his retreat, as him and two other felines fled further down the alley.

"Hey where do you think you're going." Coco took a small step forward, preparing to give chase, but was force to dodge when a spotted housecat with a katana flew at her. The katana sparked as it cut into the concrete wall next to Coco. She'd just barely dodged it. "Holy, ninja cats!" The spotted cat looked her with the slitted eyes of a murderer. It's tiny jaw was snapped down firmly on the katana. Ready to strike again.

"Mrow!" It barked leaping high into the air, and slashing down at her vertically.

Coco easily back stepped the attack. "Ha you'll have to do better than  tha-ahhhh!" Her legs were swept out from beneath her, and she came slamming down onto the ground. She craned her neck and saw the other two cats had a strong looking rope between their teeth. They'd tripped her! "Why you dirty fighting, woah." Once more she'd managed to dodge the katana cat's attack. "Okay that's it." She cried jumping to her feet. "Prepare to get licked!"

First thing was first. With a flick of her wrist she sent her shuriken flying towards the cat's rope. The metal stare easily cut the fibrous rope. After that she'd managed to pull a kunai out of her jacket and parry the katana cat's strike. The two of them dueled shortly managing to meet each other blow for blow. Neither one of them seeming to be able to get an advantage on the other. Coco wasn't entirely sure she'd be able to beat this cat alone. To make matters worse the little punk had back up. The two other cats had kunai of their own gripped in their tiny mouths.

"Dammit these cats are good." Fine if they wanted to fight dirty, Coco could give them dirty. "Transformation Justu!" In a puff of smoke Coco Wei had vanished and in her place was a large and beastly Doberman. Just ready to tear these cats to ribbons. "Bark bark bark!" She declared proudly.
The cats could only his in fear, before making their retreat. They scurried out from the alley and into the deserted streets of Amegakure.

"What's going on in this city?" Coco panted as she popped back into her human form. At least even an inattentive ninja like Coco was able to notice, that there was something kind of strange going on in The village of Rain. Something that left uncheck could lead to a CATastrophe.

[TWC 685. +3 stats :3 ]

Coco laid in an eden like bliss, all wrapped up in her covers. She was like a ninja burrito. Her subconscious blissfully dreamed away, while unbeknownst to her, intruders were prowling about. A small and black furred assassin crept through Coco's door. It creaked a little, but otherwise kept the assassin's presence hidden.

It was the Cat known as Midnight. Coco's long time Rival. In it's mouth was a Razor sharp Kunai. It looked like the cat was planning on finishing off his foe this night. How underhanded.

The beast crawled onto Coco's four post bed, it's paws hardly indenting the soft fabric. It would be the perfect kill. Yes the beast skulked withing inches of Coco's face. He wanted to see her face on last time, before ending her. Knife clutched in mouth cat smiled, it's long foe would finally be silence. Now the master would be free to rule all of Amegakure!

Then he sneezed.

A wet, cat sneeze right into Coco's face.
 
The ninja shot into an upright position sending the cat cluttering the floor with a "Mrow."
"What the?" Coco groaned rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She clicked on her lamp, shedding light upon her feline assailant. "Midnight!" She shouted, grasping for a kunai she kept on her nightstand. It was gone! She glared at the cat angrily. "You sneaky bastard!"

The cat launched at his targert, his knife ready to rend flesh.

With quick hands Coco threw her covers over the cat, covering him completely. Just when she thought she had the beast trapped, he started to shred the comforter. Down and fabric flew everywhere.
She squinted her eyes angrily at the assassin. He little black head start to emerge from a hole he'd managed to cut into the sheets. "You can attack me, you can even almost kill me. You can even get me wet. But now you've destroyed the one thing I enjoy most in life, and now you most die." Her eyes raged with anger.

"Mrow!" The Cat spit back, ever defiant.

Then she did it. Coco punched the cat! Right in the face. The cat's body instantly went limp, and the kunai dropped from his mouth. At last the strongest cat in Amegakure had fallen. Coco was almost sad to see the beast lying limp in her bed. They'd have so many mighty confrontations. But Midnight was gone and from his ashes would arise Cococ the Cat Puncher!

Still she couldn't rest, not now. The ninja in the factory must have sent Midnight to kill her. Maybe she wasn't as stealthy as she'd thought during her recon. Damn. She'd have to strike now, before he learned of Midnight's defeat. She had to finish this, right now!

Now Coco was raised in Amegakure. A city where it rains everyday of the year, usually in copious amounts. So when a person in Amegakure says that another person "Stormed" in somewhere they meant it. So Coco stormed into the abandoned factory, back at the back of the slums. Stormed. Her furry was so fierce every feline she face fled. She entered it's gapping doors, her umbrellas held aloft proudly.

The Sea of Cats parted before her, as she approached the Cat kings throne. Her eyes glared malice at the ninja. "Alright, Furry time to end this! You're minions have gotten in my way one too many times."

The man shrugged off his hood, and greeted her with a toothy smile. "You came in to my home, it's only fair that I go into yours." He purred holding his head aloft with his hand. "Still it's extremely unwise of you to come here, in the dead of night."

"Stupidity's never stopped me before."

"Clearly." He shifted in his seat slightly, Coco prepaired for an attack. "Do your parents even know you're here?"

"Maybe." Coco spat prepairing her own shuriken.

"Outmatched and no one knows you're here. You wanna die?"

"No." Coco growled. "I wanna kill." With swift fingers she launched a swarm of shuriken at her target.

The cat ninja grew a cocky grin. With a cool flick of his hand five cats cats flew in front of the metal stars. The poor pussy cats didn't stand a chance, they all died horribly.

"Oh my god!" Coco shouted, holding back bile. "You just threw cats in front of my attack!"

The ninja snorted. "You're the real monster, you're the one who attacked them." Five cats laid dead on the ground. "So tell me Coco, why were you foolish enough to face me all alone?"

"Well Nippo. That's right I did my research. I know your name. I also know that you're only a Genin like me. I came because I know I can handle you."

"You did your homework I'm impressed, but if you bothered at all you'd know I was the top of my class! I'm not just any rouge geninn." He flew from his throne, landing before Coco. "I'm a really good one." He took on a fighting stance. Coco could plainly see his nails grown long and sharp. Perfect for ripping, tearing, cutting, killing.

"Well." Coco announced brandishing a Kunai. "I too was at the top of my class." The two began to circle around eachother. "Because I was the only member in my class!" She slashed at the man in short controlled burts. Each one potentially deadly if they landed. He however was much too fast. With every attack he'd deflect them with his sharp nails. All around them cats began together. Forming a ring around the fight. Coco didn't like her chances. Even if she did start to win the one-on-one he was sure to send the cats in to back up.

"Coco why are you protecting this dump of a city? Someone's going to take it over eventually. Why not me?"

Coco repelled a vicious slashing attack. "Because you're just a genin! If I can't rule this city neither can you!" With all of her strength she slashed at the boy, but once more he was able to bounce the attack off of his nails.

"Nice try Coco, but my nails are just as strong as your Kunai! It would seem we're evenly matched, too bad for you I have an ace up my sleeve!"

"So do I." Channeling her chakra into her blade Coco struck once more. Her opponent ignorant to the clowing aura of her knife. With a clean and wet 'swoosh' Coco cut right through her opponents finger tips, sending him reeling to the ground. "I'm Sorry to rain on your parade Nippo, but the cat's out of the bag. You were so busy with your black cat, you didn't even think about crossing my path."  Nippo rolled on the ground in pain. Most likely from his wounds than Coco's puns. "Now I'm afraid you're nine lives are up."

Nippo growled. "I don't think so. You got me licked, but I'm not going down so easily! My Cat warriors Ataaaaaah." Nippo's whole mouth went numb, as he felt a sharp pinprick in his neck.

"Man I'm good. I gotcha right in the nerve! And on my first try." Coco announced proudly. She was referring to the senbon needle currently sticking out of Nippo's neck. "Ahh what's the matter cat go your tounge?"

Without their leader to give them orders, the horde of cats soon lost intrest in the two humans and began to wander away. With Nippo's chakra no longer making them supercats, they'd all soon return to their homes. Leaving no one with a clue that they'd almost formed an invasion army.

Coco was just happy that she didnt' have to fight them all, or worse kill them all. She placed her foot on Nippo triumphantly, ready to take him to the authorities. "I'm glad defeating you beat all the cats too, phantom menace style. I Guess it's true what they say there really is more than one way to skin a cat!"

Thus ends the story of Coco and that cats!
