I Unintentionally Became Her Kitten Chapter 6: Rescue the Kitty!

I lived my old life for a few days, mostly undisrupted. People were an to , and said rude things, but I wasn’t being a burden to Alisha.

It was back in my alley that things went really wrong.

The dumpster sotis had food in it and being a bit desperate to eat sothing, I had climbed in through the side door and was pulling at so of the fresher bags of trash hoping to find sobody’s leftovers but so far there hadn’t been much of anything.

The unfortunate thing about being in that dumpster was I couldn’t hear anything going on outside. The tal echoed all of the bag rustling sounds and my own breathing and all of my own noise back at while the noise from the alley was blocked out. I didn’t hear the n out there having their discussion until I’d poked my head out of the side and stared right into one of their faces.

The other turned to see and frowned.

Then there was a light of recognition.

“Ei, isn’t that Alisha’s chick?” the first man asked.

The second looked up and down, ntally taking away all the dirt and ssiness from my ti on the streets.

“Yeah, I think it is.” The second man had a harsh foreign accent and folded his arms as the two of them shuffled toward .

The first man grabbed my shirt as I started to pull back into the dumpster, panicking as I had no idea what these n wanted with , but was sure it wasn’t anything good. He roughly yanked out and onto the pavent as the other took his position so I had no escape route out to the street.

They examined .

“Alisha let ya go, huh?” The first observed.

I pulled away from them but the grip was too strong.

“Does that an she doesn't care about ya?” He was thinking hard. “But the boss doesn't have to know that, if we bring him your head he'll be impressed.”

I wasn't sure if that would work out quite how he was imagining it but in the mont it didn't matter. They could kill before they had even thought it through.

“Wait,” the second said. “But if we bring her alive, then he has her to hold for ransom.”

“Oh, that’s a better idea. And I don’t suppose we could have so fun first.” His hand slid along my cheek admiringly. I turned my head and bit at him but he pulled away too fast.

“Easy there, you don’t want to piss us off little girl.” This ti he grabbed my chin forcefully and made look at him. “I think you’ll be satisfying to claim.”

“S’pose she’s a virgin?” the other said. They started to pull toward the road.

I dug my heels in and struggled, trying to thrash my way out but they were too strong. Out on the street, I saw a crappy car parked just outside the alley and connected the dots. If they got in there I was gone.

I broke my head free of the assholes grip and managed to bite down on his hand.

He yelled as my teeth dug in until my jaw started to hurt.

“You stupid bitch!” he snarled. His other fist ca up and I felt the blow to the side of my head.

I yelped as my vision blacked out a second before swimming back blurrily.

With that, they renewed their effort to get to the car. My struggles were weaker but as the car ca into view I started to say, “no,” and tried to run my feet backward but they were carrying my weight anyway so it did nothing.

“I won’t cooperate,” I repeated and tried to yank my arm free.

“You don’t need to,” was a grumble from the one I’d bitten.

At that mont the black SUV rolled up to a stop in the street and there was just a mont before the back door was thrown open and Alisha appeared. She was angry at the sight of .

I finally managed to pull free and backed up as the n were frozen, staring at her as she strode up.

Her hand dipped into a purse as she ca up and ca back with her phone.

I’d never seen her so angry as she hit a few keys then dropped it back away. She stopped just two paces from the n.

A gesture with her hand urged to co back to her so I slid between them.

Her guard in the car drove off, forcing to wonder what her plan was or if we were both about to get shanked by these n.

“Ms. Takeno,” the one who had first grabbed started to say. “We found your pet roaming the streets. We were just going to return her to you.”

Alisha glared at him, then at the other who had the bite mark on his hand.

Then she reached into her purse again and drew out a pistol.

The n started to put their hands up but she pulled the trigger, making flinch and grab the hem of her shirt as my ears rang. When focus cleared, I saw the body falling to the ground and the blood rapidly leaking from the hole. The other ran. Alisha lowered her pistol as he did so and watched as he reached the end of the alley, where Tye ca from around the corner and strong ard him into a head lock and began dragging him back as Alisha waited. Her lips were pulled thin and disdainful as she watched him struggle fruitlessly all the way back to where we stood.

He froze as she ca into view and stared down at him.

Tye waited patiently as she made her decision.

“Castrate him and throw him back,” she decided, then leaned down to address the man directly. “You deserve far worse but I’ll be rciful.”

“Wait,” he struggled against Tye, who didn’t seem particularly happy, but began dragging him back in the alley. “No!”

With a sharp jerk Tye yanked him closer and then pulled sothing from his pocket I recognized as a syringe. He pulled the cap off with his teeth and slid it into the man’s skin, despite the struggling.

A few monts later the man stilled and Tye hefted the limp weight over his shoulder.

Alisha then turned to .

I shrank away. I went to apologize but stopped myself. Her face was stern and unyielding in a way I couldn’t quite read.

Then she slid the gun back into her purse and sighed before reaching over to pet the top of my head.

“Are you alright?” she asked.

There was a fine spray of red across her face she seed oblivious to.

“Kitty?”

I reached over intending to gently touch her but ended up with my face buried against her chest.

She pulled closer as I started to shake. My eyes were hot as the tears ca and pushed their way out.

Her voice hushed my softly.

“It’s okay,” she said. “You’re safe now.” A hand pet my hair, gently pushing it away from my face.

The tears ca faster and I broke into sobs.

She waited as I cald down.

Through so gasps I managed to get it out. “I’m so sorry.”

“It’s okay,” she repeated. I felt her shift to look around as she held then started to guide toward the street.

Her SUV was parked just a short distance down where Tye had obviously been in a hurry and stopped crooked and way too far from the car in front, but it was parked.

She opened the back door and helped inside. I sat on the seat and felt the juxtaposition of my filth and this clean place.

Alisha pulled close after she pulled her own door shut.

I sniffled as she stroked my hair a few tis.

“It’s okay, let it out.”

I shook my head. “Are you mad?” I asked.

“No,” she answered. “I understand you were afraid. Staying in that big house.”

“No,” I told her.

“No?” she asked. “What was wrong?”

“I didn’t want to be a burden,” I explained. “You deserve so much better than and I’m just… , you know.”

I started to sit up but she calmly pulled back into her embrace. There was still an acrid and bloody sll that clung to her blouse.

“You’re not a burden to ,” she reassured. “And I try not to view people based on their current life situation.”

“But I’m just ,” I repeated and pulled free. “I’m holess and dirty and— poor.”

She frowned at . “Those are all situational things,” she explained. “They have nothing to do with who you are as a person.”

“So?” I managed and rubbed at my eyes. They were burning now and surely red and puffy.

“I care about you,” she emphasized. “You, not your money.”

I sniffled again. “Are you sure?”

“Of course I’m sure,” she said. “You’re the most incredibly cute person I’ve t and I can tell you have such a big heart in there, too.” She ran her fingers through my hair. “And you’re suffering so much I just want to make things easier for you.”

“You’re not going to sell as a sex slave?” I asked. “When you get bored of .”

The look on her face told everything I needed to know. She was genuinely angry at the question, but sighed and rubbed the furrow out of her brow. “I would never do that to you. I wouldn’t do that to my worst enemy, even, it’s disgusting.”

My heart slowed a little.

“You promise?” I asked.

“I swear it,” she reassured.

I leaned over into her embrace and did my best to hug her back.

“Now, do you want to co ho with ?” she asked. “I will never force you to, but I do like having you around.”

I nodded and pressed against her a little more, wanting to get more of that comfort from her.

A few monts later Tye opened the driver door and climbed in, wiping blood off his hands.

I stared for a long mont, rembering that Alisha had just murdered a man. With a start I looked at her face and saw there was still that fine blood spatter there.

Tye turned to address her.

“We should go,” she explained. “Cleanup will be here shortly so we should clear out.”

“Understood,” he said and started the car.

He then drove us away from the scene.
