The Resurrection of A Tail of Three Kittens

Mikey woke up in the morning to the sun filtering through a hazy blanket of white. It was snowing with heavy flakes that swirled in the wind. The thought of going out in that today made him groan. He looked over and saw his Master still asleep on his back. He sighed at how beautiful Grant looked in his repose. He reached out and lightly caressed his face.

"Good morning my Love."

"Morning Master."

Mikey then turned his gaze to the two Kittens curled up at the bottom of the bed. Gerard had a protective paw around Frank pulling him in and Frank was nuzzled up in Gerard's chest.

"They are beautiful aren't they?"

"Yes Master they are."

Grant stretched out his arms twisting and cracking his wrists in the process

"I think a hot shower is in order on this snowy morning, what do you think Love?"

"I think that sounds wonderful."

Mikey slid off the bed and changed back to his human form as he watched Grant remove himself from the bed and head to the bathroom. As Mikey passed Gerard, he scratched at his head lightly. He then walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

***Gerard***

Gerard instantly missed the touch when it was gone. He opened his eyes slowly and saw Frank right in front of him. Gerard pulled his arms tighter around Frank and pushed his nose against Frank. He licked him softly to fix the hair that he messed up on Frank then laid back down.

"Mmmm, don't stop please."

Frank pushed his head into Gerard's begging him to keep grooming him.

Gerard started licking Frank's head and face slowly with long strokes of his tongue. He moved down Frank slowly and moved towards his neck and back. He licked him repeatedly and moved down lower. He licked at Frank's tail just a little because he knew how he felt when people stayed around his tail too long. Frank began to purr and stretch out so that he was draped over the bed offering more surface for Gerard to groom. He arched his back a little and mewed lightly.

"Feels so good Gee."

Gerard smiled and moved towards Frank's stomach. He licked his whole body tantalizingly slow. He pawed at Frank's back to rub him at the same time.

"Fuck."

Frank was getting turned on now. Gerard knew exactly what he was doing and he was pushing all the right buttons.

"Geeeee"

"Yeah baby?"

Gerard moved Frank so that he was on his back and then climbed over him. He licked Frank's neck and then nibbled a bit.

"More, I need morrrreeeee"

Frank tossed his head back, exposing more of his neck to Gerard.

"Please Gee, please."

Gerard bit down on Frank's neck and pushed into him swiftly.

"Always so warm Frankie."

Gerard thrusts his hips into Frank at an even pace. His strokes were long but harsh and he loved the way he felt inside of Frank. He loved how things can go from one thing to another.

"Ah ah ah, Gee! So good inside me, feels so fucking goooood"

Frank wrapped his legs and tail around Gerard, He pushed up with every forward thrust trying to pull him in deeper.

"Oh God Gee, right there, right fucking there!"

Gerard threw his head back and moved his hips faster. He pushed as far in as he could aiming for Frank's spot and hitting it each time. Frank's walls felt like vice grips around him and he felt himself losing it inside of Frank like he always did. He was so close so fast.

"You are so fucking good Frankie."

"Ah ah ah ah, please Gee, so close, please touch meeeeee."

Frank begged. When he was like this he had no shame. Only Gerard could reduce him to this quivering mass. Gerard smiled down at Frank and reached for his cock. Once he got his hand around Frank he started stroking Frank at the same speed as his thrusts. Frank clenched around him causing Gerard to cry out.

"Oh Frankie... fuck babyyyyy!"

Gerard's midriff started swirling with a warm sensation. Frank was pushing him over the edge with his cries and the way his body reacted to Gerard.

”Oh fuck Gee yes!"

Frank arched his back crying out as he came all over Gerard's hand. Within seconds of cumming he changed back to his human form. Gerard felt Frank tighten around him from changing back to human form and stiffened.

"Fuck! Oh... Frankie..."

Gerard spilled himself deep inside of Frank and shook as he changed back to human form.

"Fuck."

"I think we just did."

Frank let out a giggle and then a sigh. He wrapped his arms around Gerard, his Master, and hugged him tightly.

"Have I said how happy I am that I met you?"

"I don't know Frankie... you've said a lot but I don't think you've said that."

Gerard thought back to how Frank reacted when he was changed and later when he was questioning his position in the house. He couldn't remember Frank saying that but he does know that Frank loves him. Frank reached up and caressed Gerard's cheek.

"I am, I know everything was kind of fucked up in the beginning, but honestly. I don't think I would be as happy as I am now."

At that point the door to the bathroom opened and both Grant and Mikey came out clad in towels.

"Good morning Kittens."

"Good morning Masters."

Gerard kissed Frank's forehead and rubbed his hand through Frank's hair. He was still thinking about what Frank had just said. He was glad that Frank was happy because Gerard was more than happy with him.

"Do you wanna wash now baby?"

"Yeah, I guess I am kind of sticky."

Frank giggled and finally let go of Gerard so that he could pull out. He stretched and got off the bed. He padded his way to the bathroom and disappeared inside. Grant laughed at the little wiggle that Frank put into his hips.

"He is a handful isn't he?

"Oh yeah."

Gerard chuckled and winked and stood up to head to the bathroom.

"Gee."

Mikey stopped Gerard before he passed him.

"Tonight, I need you on your best behavior, which means I need your Kitten on his best behavior. We will all sit down and talk about the expectations when Patrick gets here for lunch."

"I'm always on my best behavior Master, and you don't have to worry about Frankie..."

Gerard knew that best behavior would've been to just agree so he stopped talking and bowed to Mikey slightly.

"Yes Master."

"That's better, thank you Precious, now go and get cleaned up and quickly. You had your fun already."

"Yes Master."

Gerard walked the rest of the way to the bathroom and opened the door and entered. He closed it behind him softly and smiled at Frankie. He walked toward the toilet and took a much needed wiz.

***Mikey***

Mikey laughed as he heard Gerard groan through the door.

"It sounds like he didn't listen to you?"

Mikey chuckled and kissed Grant lightly.

"Nope, it just sounded like he needed to piss really badly."

"You are so uncouth Love."

"Mmmm, you like me that way."

"Now now now, we must get dressed and ready for our guests."

Mikey sauntered past the bed and down towards the sunken seating area. He provocatively removed his towel and then turned his head toward Grant.

"I think I will finish drying down by the fire."

Grant sighed and then smiled.

"Too much my Love, too much."

***Gerard***

*ding dong*

"I got it!"

Frank walked to the door and opened it, but before he could get a greeting out, he was bowled over by a very enthusiastic Kitten.

"Frankie! I missed you!"

*groan* Apparently not. Gee, help me."

Gerard chuckled and walked over to where Pete was strangling Frank in a bear hug and pulled him off by the waist. He held Pete by the waist as he offered his guests in.

"Welcome guys, take a seat."

Gerard walked Pete over to the couch and sat him down on it.

"Awwww Master Gee."

"Pete..."

"Humph"

"Don't mind him; he's just upset because I kicked him out of bed early."

"I was in the middle of something. You know that was really rude of you."

"In the middle of something?"

Mikey raised an eyebrow as he looked at Patrick standing with Jon and Stacy. The two Kittens blushed and Mikey smirked.

"Ah, I see in the middle huh?"

"What, they like to cuddle, I like to cuddle, it's a win win situation. You can see that right Master Gee?"

Gerard smirked and bit his lip.

"I can definitely see that."

"Gee!"

Frank stood up and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well, if you would rather cuddle with two other Kittens by my guest."

Frank turned and pretended to flip his hair and huffed into the kitchen to start lunch. Grant, Mikey, and Patrick all laughed at this display of a scorned lover. Patrick walked up to Gerard and clasped a hand on his shoulder.

"I think you need to go smooth things out with your wife...I mean Kitten there Master."

"He's so dramatic. I'll be back."

Gerard went into the kitchen and walked up behind Frank at the counter. He wrapped his arms around Frank's waist and kissed the back of his neck.

"Baby... I was talking about you and my Master. I would never wanna be between two kittens that aren't you two... especially you."

Gerard kissed Frank's neck repeatedly after he finished talking. Frank tried to pretend that he was still upset, but the kisses on his neck were tickling him and he erupted in giggles.

"Okay, okay, I forgive you, now shoo, let me make lunch."

Frank playfully swatted Gerard in the ass as he turned to leave the kitchen.

"Watch it boy."

Gerard exited the kitchen and walked back into the living area and took a seat next to his Master.

"All right, while we wait for Frank to finish dinner, we can have the meeting with the Masters first. As the only two here not Masters are Stacy and Frank, Stacy, you go help Frank in the kitchen."

"Yes Master."

"Stacy.."

"Sorry, Patrick."

Stacy walked off and Patrick sighed.

"It's been a week and she still slips up a little."

"Don't worry Patrick, she is getting used to it."

Patrick nodded at Jon and then turned to Grant.

"Okay Grant, so how is this supposed to go?"

"So all the Master remain human during the Ball while anyone not is in Kitten form. This seems a bit biased, but it actually makes it possible to see who is available to be Mastered. That being said, a Master and their Kitten must have something that shows that they belong to them."

Grant held up his hand and showed the ring he was wearing. He then held up Mikey's hand and showed that they matched.

”Mikey and I have been to many Ball before so we are well known, but our rings show that we are together."

Mikey then showed a key that he was wearing around his neck.

"Gerard has a lock on a chain that he only wears for special occasions."

Patrick and Pete have matching bracelets that they hold up.

"So now we need to get something for Pete and Jon and then Jon and Stacy."

"Actually, Jon and Stacy already have something."

"Huh?"

Pete smirks and Jon blushes.

"They have matching tattoos on their inner thighs."

"Yes, but they can't show that in public!"

"Yes, I realize that, but we could get matching tattoos where people can see."

Pete turned to Gerard.

"What do you say Gee?"

"Would they actually see Stacy's tattoo while she's in Kitten form?"

Gerard never paid much attention to that before.

"Good point Precious, very good."

Mikey reached out and scratched Gerard under his chin.

"It should be a more visual item, like jewelry."

Gerard smiled as he felt that warm familiar feeling he always got when Mikey praised him.

"Maybe a bracelet or necklace just to be safe. Or anklets..."

Gerard thought for a second.

"No... I want Frankie and I to have matching anklets with tiny bells."

"I like the sound of that."

Frank and Stacy arrived in the living room with a plate piled high with tuna sandwiches and a homemade veggie platter. Frank walked over to Grant and kissed the top of his head.

"Thank you for thinking of me."

"Anytime Frankie Angel."

Pete looked at the two of them and tilted his head much like a dog. This made Mikey laugh.

"Frank is a vegetarian. He found it very difficult to get used to eating fish, so we keep fresh veggies in the house for him."

"Wow, a vegetarian Kitten!"

"All right let's break for lunch and then continue the meeting."

*

***Frank***

Once Frank and Stacy clear away the dishes, Grant turns to them as they return from the kitchen.

"All right you two, now to the rules for you."

Frank and Stacy both get down on the ground and kneel in front of Grant.

"You two will remain in Kitten form the whole Ball. This allows other Masters to know that you are still just Kittens."

Stacy looks away slightly and Grant reaches out and lifts her chin gently.

"There is nothing wrong with just being a Kitten right now my dear. Even Pete will remain a Kitten till the ceremony where he will rightfully take possession of your brother."

Stacy nodded and looked up at Jon. Jon smiled at her.

”Now Gerard, Pete, and Jon will all be in Kitten form till the ceremony where they will prove that they can handle being a Master by changing on their own."

"Can you two change on your own?"

Gerard nodded towards Jon and Pete.

"Um...I have never tried honestly."

Jon looked down like he was going to be admonished. Pete reached out and touched his arm.

"Hey hey, neither have I, so relax. It never mattered before. What about you Gee, can you?""I'm good at it... I'm not perfect like my Master but I am pretty alright."

"Well no worries you guys, your Kittens will be the catalyst for your changing."

"What's that mean?"

"All in good time Pete. Now, I think we are good here. The Ball is tonight at nine so there is plenty of time to get you items for your Kittens."

"Well Gee, looks like another shopping trip for you and I."

Gerard smiles at Frank.

"Yup. Are you ready to get going now Pumpkin?"

Frank nodded and stood up along with Patrick and all his Kittens. Stacy yawned and started a chain reaction from Jon to Pete. Everyone laughed at this.

"Well it seems I need to get my Kittens home for a much needed nap."

Patrick hugged Grant and Mikey while the Kittens said goodbye. Gerard and Frank left with Patrick and the Kittens. They all piled in their cars and drove off.

***Mixed POV***

Frank stood in amazement. He had not realized there were this many WereKittens in the world. His jaw was hanging open and Grant walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"You can close your mouth now Frankie Angel."

"Are these all the Kittens in the world?"

"I am sure some are missing, but yes, this Ball is the biggest event that we have during the year. Kittens from every country are here so be on your best behavior."

Gerard placed his paw above Frank's tail on his back and guided him forward.

"Please baby."

Frank looked up and Gerard with the most earnest face he could muster.

"I promise Master, I will be good."

Frank raised his ankle and jingled the anklet so that the small bells chimed lightly. Gerard smiled and chuckled at Frank. Gerard leaned forward and whispered to Frank.

"I'll be sure to reward you to the best of my ability."

Frank shivered in anticipation of this and snapped his feet to attention.

"Yes Sir!"

"Frankie Angel, you need to be in Kitten form more often. I love your coat."

Mikey slung an arm around Frank's shoulder and petted him softly. Grant laughed and pulled Mikey off of him.

"Someone has been into the catnip, haven't you my Love?"

"Wellllll maybe just a little?"

Catnip?

Gerard looked between Mikey and Grant.

Mikey looked at Gerard and grinned. he loosened his arms from Grant and placed them on Gerard.

"Oh Precious, I just never gave you any because of....you know. BUT! Grant says that it is okay for you because yoou are in Kittttten foooorrrrm."

Gerard chuckled nervously and glanced at Grant.

"U-uh g-gave me any what Master? I'm gonna need a little more than code talk if you don't mind."

Grant chuckled back and placed a reassuring hand on Gerard's back.

"He means that Kittens indulge in catnip like a recreational drug that is not harmful. When it was your coming out, so to speak, Michael was still nervous because of your past substance abuse problems. Even though I assured him that it was not the same, he chose to keep you away from it."

"O-oh... I see. Well I don't need it or anything like that."

Gerard bit his lip nervously.

"It is your choice Precious, no one is going to force you."

Grant then looked down at Frank.

"What about you Frankie Angel?"

Frank looked at how nervous his Master was and the shook his head.

"Nah, I am good too."

Grant smiled in approval.

"GGGGrrraaannnttttt"

"If you gentle Kittens will excuse me, I have my own Kitten to attend to."

Gerard nodded and turned to Frank as soon as Grant walked away.

"You didn't have to do that Frankie. You can have fun."

Frank looked at Gerard and reached up with his paw and touched his cheek.

"Gee, I only need you to have fun."

"If I wasn't in Kitten form you'd surely see me blushing right now."

"Awwww Gee, you say the nicest things to me."

After that Gerard and Frank began to mingle and meet other Kittens. Grant was right, it was easier to tell who was taken or not by being in Kitten form. Still it was hard to tell who was an impending Master, but conversation helped with that.

"Frankie!"

"Oh shit Gee!"

Frank braced for the launch, but none was there. Frank looked up and saw Pete with Patrick and Jon with Stacy. Pete was sporting a black choker with a bell on it that matched Jon and Stacy's. Jon's was blue and Stacy's was pink. Frank cocked an eye at Pete and he shrugged.

"Don't look at me, they wanted those colors."

"I think they're nice colors. Don't be rude Frankie."

Gerard pawed the little bell on Pete's choker and chuckled when it chimed.

"Where's your Master?"

"He's over talking with a couple that he knows from New Zealand."

Pete points to Patrick looking quite handsome in a tux laughing with a group of Masters.

"He looks good."

"Yes he does."

Pete licked his lips and smiled. Frank giggled and looked at Gerard.

"Do you need something love?"

"A kiss?"

Gerard leaned down and kissed Frank softly. He pulled back a little and licked his lips.

"You taste lovely. I still taste some cream on you."

"Yes, but not my favorite kind,"

Pete laughed as Frank did a little tongue and cheek humor to Gerard. He gasped though when he felt arms slip around him. He nuzzled in and looked up smiling.

"Hi."

"How's my baby doing? Hey Gee, Frankie, you two enjoying yourselves?"

"We are. I'll enjoy myself even more once I get to finally make him mine."

Gerard wrapped his arms around Frank's waist and kissed his nose lightly.

"Soon Gee, very soon, but first we have dinner...*sniff sniff* which smells amazing."

The kitchen door opened and the biggest fish that Frank had ever seen came out on a platter. All the Kittens stopped talking and put their noses in the air in unison. The Masters chuckled at this first and then instinct took over on them and they did the same.

"My God that smells heavenly."

"I think it's time for me to feed you Kitten."

All the Masters lined up as the Kittens found places to sit with other Kittens that they knew. Frank of course sat with Pete, Jon, and Stacy. They were relaxing waiting for their Masters when Jon heard a voice and cringed. Stacy looked wide eyed as Jon's Master sat down in their circle. He was wearing the pierced ring that linked him to Nate. Jon was supposed to have his own finger pierced and the thought of it made him sick. He felt Stacy twist their tails together. He swallowed hard and then pushed up on his knees.

"Good evening Master."

"A very good evening indeed. I haven't seen you in a very long time. You look good Sugar."

"Thank you Sir."

Jon nudged Stacy and she got to her knees and bowed the same.

"Hello Master Tony."

"Hello Stacy. It's nice to see that you've trained her well. Much as I trained you of course.”

"Yes Sir, you have."

"Hi I'm Frank."

Frank holds out his paw trying to size up this guy. How could a Master allow his Kitten to be raped and treated the way Jon was. It makes his hackles stand up a little.

"Hi Frank."

Tony heard a little bells chime and looked towards the source of the sound. It was around Frank's ankle. He looked around the room and spotted the other Kitten with the same one and smirked.

"I see that's your Master."

Tony then looked at Jon's neck, only just realizing it when Jon turned to look at Frank, causing it to sound out. There was a collar with a bell and after sharp look in Stacy's direction he noticed she was wearing one too. Tony mirrored his action from before and spotted a Kitten standing next to Frank's Master wearing a collar identical to the one's the two Kittens in front of him was wearing.

"What exactly is the meaning of this? You're my Kitten Sugar. Why are you wearing matching collars with that Kitten?”

Tony knew that Nate had been taken away for extreme conduct unbecoming of a Master, but that had nothing to do with him right? It didn't mean that Jon could be taken away from him... or could he?

”Jonny?”

Jon didn't look up at him. He couldn't. Stacy saw Jon in distress and nuzzled his neck lightly. Meanwhile Pete had arrived with Gerard.

"Who's hungry?"

Frank looked up and smiled at Gerard as he reached out and took his plate. He smiled even wider when he saw the extra veggies on the plate along with the delicious fish.

"Gee, you always take good care of me."

"Here you are Sweetness."

Pete placed a plate in front of Stacy and then handed Jon his plate while lightly kissing his ear causing it to twitch. He then turned to the stranger in the group.

"Hi, I'm Pete and you are?"

"I'm Jon's Master.”

Tony looked at Jon and noted that he tried not to make eye contact with him. It angered Tony that Jon would do this to him. Frank was shocked as Pete did not even bat an eye when his next words fell out of his mouth in a pool of sweet venom.

"Oh? So where were you when your Master was raping him then huh? Where were you when he had intended on raping Stacy first. Where were you when he attacked Jon when he was not in Kitten form! Where were you when he beat the shit out of Stacy for defending him! WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU!?"

"Pete calm down."

Gerard admonished Pete and Tony interfered.

"How dare you speak to me like that! Do you know who I am!? Do you know who my Master’s is!? He will rip your throughout you insolent whelp! You need to take care at how to speak to a true Master! I handled these situations as much as I could when he was taken advantage of. There was only so much I could do without being punished myself!”

Tony was now shaking with anger. He couldn't believe that a Kitten, who was hardly a Master would talk to him like that! Now Pete was growling and calling attention to them.

"What the fuck do you mean "whenever he was taken advantage of"? Are you telling me this happened more than once?!"

Frank looked at Jon, but Jon had shrunk back into Stacy's arms. She was trying to keep him calm, but Jon was whimpering. Pete stood up, his hackles up now and the growling had become shrilling.

"A proper Master protects his Kitten at all costs! It was your lot that Nate was a piece of shit excuse for Master, but Jon should have never suffered for your stupidity and cowardliness!"

"My stupidity!? My cowardliness!? What the fuck do you mean!? I had a right to protect myself first! If I had been attacked I would have been no help to my Kitten and…”

”YOU WERE NO HELP IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU SELFISH SON OF A BITCH!”

Now the argument was hitting a dangerous level. Frank was concerned and hoped that Pete raising his voice would bring more Masters over. Tony ignored Pete and turned to the cowering Kitten

"Jonny, why did you not come to me. I would have told you how to handle it. I would have given you tips so that you could have taken it."

Jon was stunned, did he just say that he could take that? Jon found courage from somewhere and spoke out

"No Sir you are wrong. I didn’t need tips on how to take it, I needed my Master to tell me that I didn’t have to, that I did not deserve it. Each time I cried for you Nate punched me and told me to shut up, that you were not coming and you know what? You never fucking did!

Tony was taken back. He at least enjoyed a few times that Nate took him roughly. Could it be true that Nate was always rough with him? Tony put his hands on his hips, but the look on his face had softened a bit.

"So you mean to tell me he always raped you?"

Now the Jon had some courage to speak his mind, he did not hold back on his answer.

"Well I never fucking said yes to him!"

Jon had never spoken to him like that. Clearly what this other Kitten/Master had taught him had toughened him up. He began to feel admonished. He whispered his next words.

"I could've helped."

The way you can help is to give me up to Pete and then learn to be a better Master yourself. Take the mistakes that Nate taught you and turn them around as lessons how not to be a Master proper.

Pete was so proud of Jon right now. He sounded like a true Master. Ignoring that they were being watched he turned to Jon and slipped his hand behind his neck making the bell chime.

”I am so proud of you Jonny Baby.”

It was the first time that Pete had used Jon’s name in public. Jon blushed with pride and he leaned in to the caress on his neck and began to purr. The moment was getting intimate till a throat cleared. Pete looked up and saw Grant towering above them with a commanding look on his face.

"Is everything alright here?"

Grant looked at the scene taking it in and then turned to Gerard who was the highest Master here for answers. Gerard cleared his throat and answered.

"This here is Jon's Master... or was. There was a little blow up but I think it's over now."

Tony looked up at Master Grant and cowered a bit. He wasn't afraid of him but he did know who he was and the power he held. He bowed to him as he talked.

"I'm sorry... I was just trying to talk to Jon. I'll leave him alone now."

Grant placed a hand on Tony's shoulder as he rose and walked away from the group. He looked down and saw Pete comforting Jon who was soaking up the attention. Stacy had wrapped herself around Jon lovingly. Frank breathed a sigh of relief that the situation seemed to be over. He settled in and started to eat his food. He looked up again at his Master and smiled. Gerard smiled back at Frank and gave him a reassuring pet.

"You okay Pumpkin?"

"Yeah, I think I am."

After that everyone settles back in. Grant went to sit with the other Masters and Gerard settled in with the Kittens. The food was fantastic and Frank laughed when Pete tried to feed Jon and it ended up getting all over his fur. Not that this bothered Pete because he took it an am opportunity for a grooming, which Stacy happily shared in the task of. It just served to remind Frank how lucky he was to have such good friends and an awesome family. Soon came dessert and Frank and Gerard fed each other spoonful’s of chocolate mousse. They were interrupted by Grant at one point, which caused the spoonful that Gerard was feeding Frank to end up on his nose.

"Ewwww Gee gross!"

"I'm sorry Frankie."

Gerard licked at Frank's nose causing him to giggle. He then kissed Frank's nose before turning to Grant and giving him his full attention.

"Did you need anything Master Grant?"

"Yes Gerard. I wanted to talk with you a little more about the upcoming ceremony. Let's find a quieter place."

"Okay Master."

Gerard gave Frank a quick peck before standing and following Grant off towards the hallway of the manor. Gerard heard faint voices become louder the closer they got. He recognized Tony's voice instantly but the other was unfamiliar.

"I fucking lost my Kitten so now you will replace him!"

There was sound of a collision and then a groan following.

"And you will get those two fucking brats back!"

Another sound that was unmistakable to be a body being slapped.

"Get up you piece of shit, I'm not done with you yet!"

Tony grabbed the wall as leverage and pulled himself up shaking off the floor. He briefly thought about how stupid he was to ever think that Nate was doing anything but taking advantage of those Kittens. There was no way he was going to let that happen to them again.

"S-sir... Master... you're so good at getting Kittens. You don't need them. They weren't good enough anyway. They n-never listened."

Tony tried using reverse psychology on Marcus but he wasn't too sure that it would work. He flinched away from him when he saw him advance towards him. Marcus grabbed him by his ears and pulled on them hard.

"Then you make them fucking listen! You chain them up in the dungeon and you do not let them leave until they are cooperative! No food, no water, no sunlight. Nothing!"

Marcus threw Tony to the ground and stepped on his tail. He looked down with disdain at the Kitten yowling and trying to get away. He loved having this power and control. It was such a turn on. At that point he decided that he was done talking. He grabbed the Kitten by the scruff of his neck and hauled him up so that they were facing each other again.

"And if all that fails you employ...other methods of persuasion. Here let me give you a demonstration."

Marcus gave a dark chuckle and dragged Tony to a nearby door. He opened it and saw the room was empty. He threw the Kitten inside and then entered himself locking the door behind him.

"P-please don't."

The next thing they heard from the room was Tony yelping and then nothing. Gerard briefly wondered if the Master had killed him.

"Master... I have to do something. This isn't right."

Gerard jumped when he heard a loud smack and then a thud. Tony's choked sobs came pouring through the crack at the bottom of the door. Gerard started to make his way over to the room. He felt bad for Tony; he was just another victim. Grant stood by as Gerard pushed past him. As a higher Master it was Grant's job to deal with this, but just like Frank, Gerard seemed determined to take matters into his own hands. Without concern for his safety, Gerard shouldered the door hard to knock it open. Thankfully it was one of the newer doors in the manor, which meant it was not made of oak. That would have hurt. Tony was face down on the floor with one arm twisted painfully behind him. His tie shoved in his mouth and Marcus poised to enter him while Tony was in human form. It reminded him of Jon and he grabbed at Tony to separate them.

”Who the fuck are you!? Get out of here! This is between me and my Kitten…unless you want the same!”

Grant stepped in behind Gerard and saw that Gerard was already in a scuffle with Marcus trying to rip him away from Tony. Tony crawled toward Grant and mewed pitifully. Grant reached down and attempted to soothe him. Gerard was winded by the blow Marcus gave him to the stomach but that didn't stop him from clawing at Marcus' face. Marcus reached for Gerard, attempting to get him in a head lock but failed when Gerard slashed at Marcus's exposed cock. Marcus growled and yanked Gerard by his neck causing Gerard to howl in pain. Gerard stopped fighting and let Marcus get him down. Just when Marcus thought he'd won Gerard looked up and head butted Marcus in his balls. Marcus toppled over clutching at his bruised genitals. Gerard pounced on top of him and started wailing on him.

"That's enough Gerard."

Once Grant knew that Gerard had the upper hand he intervened. He carefully walked up to Gerard and touched his back to still him. Gerard went pliant and got up off of Marcus. Marcus pushed himself into the corner cradling his bruised and torn up body.

"You keep that fucking animal away from me Grant!"

"You are the only animal here Marcus! Now we know where Nate was taught to rape Kittens in human form. Should have known scum like you would have taught him everything he knows. You can join you Kitten in exile, I am sure the Council will agree with me.”

Gerard walked over to Tony and carefully picked him up off the floor.

"What do you want me to do with him Master?"

"Bring him to Michael. I need to go address the council."

Gerard nodded to Grant before exiting the room with the bruised Kitten in his arms. He walked briskly towards the party and kept his eyes down as he heard someone gasp and then all eyes were on him. He walked straight over to Mikey and started talking quickly.

"Grant and I went to talk and Marcus was abusing Tony. He was yelling at him to get Jon and Stacy back and then he tried to rape him when Tony tried to turn him down. I went into the room and we started fighting and I know I was supposed to let Master handle it but I was so upset and Master told me to bring Tony to you while he approaches the Council."

Mikey was wide eyed as he listened to Gerard ramble on as he presented the abused Kitten to him. Mikey looked around and made eye contact with someone. They came over and he directed them to take the Kitten to the infirmary. He then looked down at Gerard and smiled.

"Well done Precious. You will be rewarded greatly for your efforts tonight."

Gerard bowed to Mikey and then hissed when he felt his bruised stomach clench.

"T-thank you Master."

"Baby, are you alright?"

Mikey knelt down to Gerard and touched his stomach lightly. Gerard winced and Mikey became alarmed.

"What else happened Precious?"

"He just hit me pretty hard in my stomach is all. I think I did much worse to him."

"I would agree with that."

Grant comes walking up and pets Gerard lightly.

"You have a very vivacious Kitten Michael. He can be a bit of a hellion when he wants to be."

"Especially when ones that he cares for are being hurt.”

"The Council has taken care of Marcus and Tony is being cared for. Shall we get ready for the ceremony?"

"Yes Master. I'm just going to go over with my love."

Gerard felt the need to be near Frank. It made him want to protect him even more. He walked over to him and wrapped his arm around his waist. He kissed his forehead and then rested his head on Frank’s.

"Well I see that maybe you can take care of yourself pretty well Gee."

Frank showed how proud he was of his Master at that moment. He pulled him down and curled up in his lap purring. Pete smiled at that and Jon and Stacy both sighed.

"That is a relationship that I want to have with my Master."

"I think you're headed that way."

Gerard thought about the passionate way Pete took up for Jon and smiled. He knew it was because Pete really cared for Jon. Gerard licked Frank's fur softly.

"By the way, thank you Pumpkin."

"For what Gee?"

Frank was enjoying the attention that he was receiving from Gerard.

"For being proud of me."

Gerard continued with his treatment.

"I am always proud of you Gee. I love you."

Frank leaned up and kissed Gerard softly.

"I love you too Frankie... so much."

Gerard kissed Frank again and rubbed behind Frank's ear. He wished they were home so he could show him just how much he loves him. He knew the ceremony was about to start so that was one step closer.

"WILL ALL MASTERS AND KITTENS PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE GRAND AUDITORIUM. MASTERS ON THE LEFT AND TRUE KITTENS ON THE RIGHT. THE CEREMONY IS ABOUT TO BEGIN."

Gerard pushed Frank up and then stood himself. He wrapped his tail and arm around Frank and walked him towards the auditorium. Gerard walks Frank over to his side and kisses his nose before walking away to stand on his side. The Council takes the stage looking regal in their purple and gold robes. They sit as the leader of the WereKittens walks up to the podium.

"Masters and Kittens welcome. This is an auspicious occasion as we have so many new Masters and Kittens this year. First though to the sad business of returning one of us to the normal world."

One of the Council members stood up and bowed to the audience. He walked to the podium and spoke.

"Thank you Randel. My life has been lived many times over. I am grateful for everything that I have learned, but I have lived my eight lives and am on my last one. As tradition dictates, I have the choice of staying a Kitten or returning to the human world. I have decided that my last life I want to be a human. I want to experience having a family and children. I want to grow old with the one I chose as my mate. It has been a pleasure being in all of your company for these many many years."

The man bows again to the audience and receives a hug from the leader, he then removes his robes and hands them to the Randel. Randel them returns to the podium to address the audience.

"Now to who will take his place on the council. Will Master Grant and his Kitten please take the stage."

Gerard watched as Master Grant lead his Master to the stage.

Grant stood proudly with Mikey. Randel walked over to him and bowed. Grant bowed back and then placed his hand in the inner pocket of his jacket. He brought out a brooch and then turned to Mikey.

"Michael my Kitten, you will take my place as advisor to the Council."

"I would be honored my Master."

Grant pinned the brooch on Mikey's jacket. He then bowed to him and Mikey bowed in return. Then Grant turned back to Randel and he was handed the robes. He donned them and Randel returned to the podium.

"Please welcome our newest Council member, Master Grant Morrison."

Gerard smiled brightly up at his Masters. He was truly proud of them. Grant definitely deserved that spot. He was always amazing at taking care of things. Mikey on the council was just astounding. They looked like a power couple up there. Grant took his seat and Mikey returned to the Masters area.

"Now we will begin the test of the Masters. Will the following Kittens take the stage with their Kittens."

Frank listened to the long list and then squeaked when he heard his and Gerard's name.

"Gee that's us!"

"I know little one."

Gerard laughed at how cute Frank was being. He took his hand and led him to the stage. They climbed the stairs and stood there waiting to be told what to do. One by one the Kittens proved themselves to be proper Masters and were granted their Kittens properly. Frank was nervous though. He knew that Gerard had some problem exercising his authority at times. How would he do? He grabbed Gerard's paw and squeezed it tightly.

"Whatever happens Gee, please know that I love you very much."

"Master Gerard Way and his Kitten Frank Iero. Please approach the council."

Gerard walked to the council with Frank close behind him. His heart was thudding in his chest. He didn't want to miss the chance to have Frank for his own forever. Gerard knew then that he had to do everything in his power to Master up and take control.

"Master Gerard, as the Kitten of Master Michael and there by Master Grant, we have heard of you and your Kitten long before this meeting. There have been many moments where you had great decisions to make that were fitting a Master and you made them with no hesitation. The most notable is aiding in the saving of not one, but three mistreated Kittens. Because of this the council has unanimously decided that you have passed the Masters test. You are granted your Kitten, one Frankie Angel."

Gerard sighed with so much relief he thought he would drop dead from having no breath left in his body. He smiled brightly.

"Thank you so much!"

Gerard let out a breathy chuckle and took Frank's paw in his.

"Just thank you."

The Council nodded and Grant and Mikey smiled at him. Mikey was bursting with pride right now and he was trying to contain it all.

"Thank you Master Gerard. You may sit in the Master's section after you turn yourself human and bring your Kitten to his seat."

Gerard was internally squealing. He bowed to the Council and then drew everything he had inside of him and transformed to the simple applause. He bowed again and then walked off the stage hand in paw with Frank.

"Sit baby. I'll be with you as soon as this is over."

Gerard kissed Frank's cheek before turning and walking over to take his seat. He glanced over at Frank with a smile still plastered on his face. Frank was now his forever and always and he knew he'd never take that for granted.

Notes

Hey everyone! Only one more chapter of this one go. Fitting that there are nine chapters and the Kittens have nine lives. ^0^
