[KHR] "Playtime"
I had so much fun writing about the little kitty weapon in "T.R.R.o.R." that I decided to give it its own one- shot.I've also put some kitty smileys: "X3" (very happy) and "83" (big eyes to make you melt) to show some kitty expressions. I thought it made things amusing and in character for the kitten... box... uhh... yeah...
I imagine the kitten- Uri would refer to itself in the third person if animal box weapons could talk. The adult version would probably use "Ore- sama" (With bold, underline and italic... I'm pretty convinced Uri is a tom).
Disclaimer: I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Otherwise I would have Gokudera baby-talking his adorable little box weapon (Who's a good kitty? Oh, yes you are!). Good grief... Talk about OOC...
Warning: A sad and lonely Uri... TT-TT
Note: The characters have never been to the future. This happened in the past of their adult versions in TYL Arc.

BEGIN TRANSMISSION OF DECLASSIFIED ARCHIVE FILE 003
Master calls it "training".
He says he's just really trying to see how long he can keep his 'flame' going.
One of the nice people ("Family," Master explained), the tall man with black hair who likes to pet Uri's head ("Baseball- freak" or "Sword- idiot", [3a] Master sometimes calls him. But he's really called "Yamamoto") calls it "endurance training".
Uri doesn't really understand what that means.
All Uri thinks Uri needs to understand is that Master will let Uri stay with him outside of the box for a really long time.
So Uri calls it "playtime". X3 [1] Uri can stay out of the box and be with Master for as long as Master wants Uri around. X3
Master is weird sometimes... He takes Uri out then he just leaves Uri to follow Master around while he follows one of those nice people ("Family," Master explained again) everywhere.
Master calls this person "Tenth" or "Boss". [3b] He's got brown hair and is a little shorter than Uri's Master.
Master says that he works for this person, that he's the most important person in Master's life.
That's like how Master is to Uri! X3
Does that mean that "Tenth" is Master's master?
Uri doesn't get it... He doesn't pet Master on the head or his tummy or play with him like Master does with Uri... He also doesn't make Master eat out of his hand like Uri does. [2]
But Master is always doing whatever this person tells him so Uri guesses it's the same thing.
Uri is only a box weapon so Master can't keep Uri outside all the time... Uri only gets to see Master for a few hours and sometimes Uri doesn't see Master for several days!
Master is almost always with that brown- haired person called "Tenth" every time he lets Uri out of the box. He's always paying attention to "Tenth" or "working".
That's not fair! Uri wants Master to play with Uri!
Uri scratched "Tenth" once for distracting Master from Uri.
Master yelled at Uri (Why is he yelling at Uri?) and told Uri that it's not a good thing to do, that it's something Uri should never do.
"Don't scratch or bite the Tenth! Behave yourself, Uri!" He said angrily the first time Uri did it.
Master was very mad.
Uri didn't understand why. Was it because Uri hurt "Tenth"? ("Tenth" had yelled "Ouch" when Uri did it.)
Does Master like "Tenth" more than Uri?
... Uri was sad...
Master ignored Uri the whole day, even when Uri said "Uri's sorry" ("...Meeowr...").
The "Tenth" must've felt sorry for Uri because he picked Uri up and pet Uri's fur. (That feels nice. X3) Then he told Master to go easy on Uri, that Uri's just a kitten. Master had looked embarrassed then but he took Uri back from "Tenth", and said "Don't ever do that again, Uri."
After that, Uri never does anything to hurt the "Tenth" (on purpose).
"Tenth" is a nice person, anyway.
He always picks Uri's side whenever Master is scolding (or going to scold) Uri for something Uri did, always telling him that Uri's still a kitten.
Well, Uri is while in basic form, is Uri not? 83
"Tenth" sometimes gives Uri something to sweet to nibble on ("Candies," he calls them. "They're for the kid- Lambo but you can have some." "Kid- Lambo" [3c] is this little boy that cries every time he shows up. Master doesn't like it when "Kid- Lambo" wipes his face on his clothes. Uri can tell that he's trying hard not to get too mad whenever "Kid- Lambo" is around but he let's "Kid- Lambo" play with Uri whenever he shows up X3).
"Tenth" also scratches the fur behind Uri's ears the way Uri likes it. ("Nyaaaooowwwrrr..."X3)
It feels nice but Uri wants Master to do that more.
Uri noticed that Master is happy (even if he doesn't show it on his face) whenever "Tenth" is happy.
Uri likes it when Master is happy. Uri feels healthier whenever Master feels happy. [5]
Sometimes Uri would jump out of "Tenth's" arms or lap and go to Master. Then Uri would purr, rub against Master's legs and Uri will flick Uri's tail so Master will pay attention to Uri.
If he still doesn't pay attention to Uri, Uri'll go and mess with his toys or whatever Master's doing so he'll drop them and pay attention to Uri.
Master's toys are those heavy things that rip when Uri digs Uri's claws into them ("Books," said "Tenth"), other boxes like Uri's, thin white things with funny looking spots that also tear when Uri chews on them (Uri thinks Master calls them "scores"[3g]) and those long yellow things ("Dynamite," said "Baseball- freak") that Master lights up sometimes with that thin, funny- smelling, white stick (Some loud mister that Master calls the "Boxing- freak" [3d] calls it a "Cancer stick" [3e]) Master's almost always got in his mouth.
Master gets angry when Uri does destroy some things, but at least he's paying attention to Uri for it.
He calms down fast when "Tenth" is around though so Uri doesn't get into a lot of trouble (but he either gets even madder or calms down a little when "Baseball- freak/ Sword- idiot" is around... Uri decided being around "Tenth" is a better time so Master won't to scold or get mad at Uri too much).
Once he's done being angry, Master will then get some sticky "clear tape" and fix whatever "book" Uri tore up while apologizing to "Tenth". If Uri tore up a "score", Master might look annoyed but he doesn't say anything to anyone, even to Uri. He just fixes them with "tape"...
Or he'll just go to his computer and get new ones.
Uri wondered once if Uri should wreck the computer since it's one of the places where Master gets those "scores"... But Uri decided not to; Master uses it for work... Master will get mad if Uri messes with his computer...
Master is almost always reading those "scores" when he's not "working".
Uri doesn't understand why he keeps looking at those.
Master always looks so gloomy whenever he's reading one of them (Uri thinks he reads them... Uri wonders how he can understand those funny- looking lines with funny- looking spots when "Baseball- freak", "Boxing- freak", "Kid- Lambo" and "Tenth" can't).
Uri doesn't like Master to look sad like that.
Those "scores" looked like they were making Master sad! So Uri decided one day: Uri will one- by- one get rid of them for good!
But then Uri wondered why it didn't work. Master still had his "scores" after Uri dealt with them...
Then Uri found out that Master just fixed them with "tape" again.
Uri then thought that Uri should also get rid of the "tape". But Uri got tangled up in it and couldn't get it off.
Uri had to meow and meow and meow and meow until Uri got Master's attention. "Baseball- freak/ Sword- idiot" and "Tenth" couldn't stop laughing when Master tried to remove the "tape" from Uri's fur.
"Mreeeooowww!!"It hurt! It really hurt!
Master looked like he was also trying not to laugh and called Uri a "Stupid cat".
Uri decided to leave the "tape" alone for another day after that. ("Nyaooowwwrrr... Just you wait- tape! Uri will get you! Uri will get you good!")
At least Master didn't get angry at Uri...
But one day Master got really, really, really, really, REALLY mad when Uri ripped another one of his "scores" (actually it was a "book" made of "scores") into really tiny pieces that Master couldn't fix it with tape anymore.
Master didn't try to fix it and instead he yelled really loudly at Uri! Master was so angry this time!
Uri got scared... Why did Master get mad? Uri just wanted to help and make Master happy! (Even "Tenth" got scared; "Baseball- freak/ Sword- idiot" looked like he didn't want to go near Master then.)
Uri was punished for real that time: Uri was sent back inside the box and stayed there for nearly two weeks! (Meeeeaaaaaoooowww! Uri's so sorry, Master! Uri won't do it again! TT-TT)
When Uri was let out after that, Master was at one of "Tenth's" big houses.
Uri then saw that Master and Uri were in a room with a big black thing with black and white teeth inside.
Uri recognized, by looking at the window, that this was "Italy". (Master doesn't like "Italy". Master looks almost always looks gloomy whenever he has to stay in this country. Uri doesn't like it when Master is like that. But Master always goes where "Tenth" goes, even if it's a place Master doesn't like. Uri goes with Master so he won't feel sad. 83)
Uri saw that Master was busy reading another "book" made up of "scores".
Uri thought Master was still mad with Uri because he wasn't looking at Uri then.
Master then told Uri that "Tenth" got him a new "Chopin" to replace the one that Uri tore up last time. (Uri then meowed "Sorry,") Uri thought that Master forgave Uri since he doesn't look angry anymore and he let Uri out of the box.
Uri was surprised when Master picked Uri up and carried Uri and the "Chopin" to the big black thing.
Master called it a "Grand". [3f] Uri thought 'That's a scary name' but Master didn't look scared... He even sat down on the bench in front of it while still carrying Uri!
'Too close!' Uri had meowed, Uri's fur standing up when Master moved his bench to be closer to the "Grand's" teeth. Uri clawed into Master's arm by accident when Master tried to put Uri down on the bench beside him. Uri tried to scratch at one of the teeth to make the "Grand" go away from Uri and Master and it made a loud 'ping' noise!
Uri got even more scared and scampered into Master's lap. Uri's fur stood up even more and Uri even bumped into Master's tummy while trying to get away from the "Grand".
"Master, Uri's sorry for tearing up your "scores"! Don't let the scary "Grand" eat Uri!" Uri meowed, trying to hide inside Master's jacket.
Master actually laughed a little and he picked Uri up from his lap with his left arm. Then he scratched the fur behind Uri's ears and under Uri's chin, chuckling and calling Uri a "Silly kitten," with his other hand.
Uri relaxed a little when Master did that. Master always knows how to make Uri calm down... X3
Finally Master could let Uri sit down beside him on the bench again. Then Uri watched (still scared) Master reach out and begin to touch the black and white teeth on the "Grand" with all of his fingers.
Uri was afraid that the "Grand" would bite Master if he touched those teeth. But then Uri saw that it didn't try to hurt Master or Uri.
Instead the "Grand" made a lot of nice sounds... Uri thought it sounded pretty. It almost sounds like it was singing.
Master looked like he thought so too. He was looking at the "score" he said "Tenth" gave him and he was smiling!
Master was happy!
Master calls this thing he's doing "playing"... So is this Master's own "playtime"?
Uri thinks Master really likes playing with the "Grand".
If Master likes it, then Uri likes it too! X3
Uri likes listening to Master playing with the "Grand" and Uri promised to never rip any of Master's "scores" ever again.
Sometimes, Master does pay attention to Uri at once when Uri rubs against his legs and that makes Uri really happy! X3 (Master belongs only to Uri! [6] and "Tenth"... [7] and the "Family"... Whew... Uri has to share Master with a lot of people... But Master doesn't share Uri with anybody else. X3)
That means Uri doesn't have to mess with Master's toys to get him to pay attention to Uri.
If Master is in a good mood and he's not "working", he lets Uri play with the shiny things on his fingers ("Rings," he said). Uri paws and licks at them (but Uri makes sure keep Uri's claws are sheathed) and Uri doesn't try to chew at them. Uri'll hurt Master if Uri does that... Master gets angry or sad whenever he gets hurt because that means that "Tenth" will worry and even get angry at him.
Uri doesn't like Master getting hurt in any way. Uri doesn't want "Tenth" to worry or get angry at Master because it makes Master feel bad.
If Master feels bad then Uri will feel weak and sick. Uri doesn't like feeling weak and sick... because that means Uri won't be able to be useful to Master.
Uri gets worried whenever Uri comes out of the box and sees Master covered in wounds and bruises.
Uri really hates it when Uri can smell that weird metal smell on Master ("Blood," Master said. "You're lucky you don't have real blood, Uri." Uri doesn't understand why he said that. But Uri learned not to like the smell of "blood" because it means that Master or somebody Master cares about is very badly hurt.)
"Why does Master almost always have to call Uri out at the last minute!? Stupid Master!" Uri would meow at him angrily and scratch him (but not too hard) on the leg (if he's standing up) or on the arm (if he's lying on the ground). Master sometimes gets annoyed when Uri does that.
If he does get annoyed, then Uri knows that Master's still okay.
But if he doesn't say anything, Uri gets even more worried because it means that Master's in really big trouble. Then Master will have Uri grow big and Ore- sama will go maim whoever or whatever hurt Master!
Nobody hurts Master while ORE- SAMA is HERE!
When Ore- sama is done and becomes Uri again, Master will pet Uri's head and let Uri ride on his shoulder (if he's not too badly hurt) and call Uri a "Good kitten," and say that Uri "did a good job."
Uri really likes it when Master praises Uri (Well, not overly so but it's praise from Master anyway!). X3
Uri is happy whenever Master smiles. He doesn't do that too often around most company.
He doesn't smile on some days because there's this person that Master doesn't seem to like. Master is always frowning whenever he sees him... He calls him the "Pervert- Quack" [3h]. Uri doesn't get what it means but he's always teasing Master and telling him to go "hit on more women". Uri doesn't understand what that means either. But Master doesn't seem to like being told to do that... "Hitting on women"... [8] But isn't "hitting" bad? "Hitting" make other people go "Ouch"... Does that mean "Pervert- Quack" wants to make Master do bad things? Nwaaooowwrr...! Uri doesn't want Master to be like that!
Sometimes, if we're outdoors in Italy, Mr. "Pervert- Quack" drags Master off somewhere and tries to make him talk to these strange- looking women... (MEEEOOWR!? [9] What are you trying to do to Master, you weird lady?! Get your face away from him! [10] Stop touching him! Can't you see Master doesn't like you being too close?! URI doesn't like it too!)
Uri will pounce (if Uri can, if "Sword- idiot" isn't holding Uri back or something), scratching and hissing at whichever suspicious person is trying to touch Master where he doesn't seem to want them to. (Master doesn't seem to like most other people touching him anyway. He'll only let a few people (actually it's just "Tenth" most of the time) touch him without getting yelled at or blown up, whichever comes first.)
Uri knows Master can handle things himself.
Uri's Master is tough. X3
But Uri just doesn't like it whenever "Pervert- Quack" comes over and tries to get Master to talk to these strange women and tell him to allow them to touch him where he doesn't want them to. Uri gets a bad feeling whenever somebody other than "Tenth", "Yamamoto", or anybody else in Master's "Family" tries to get really too close to Master.
Uri doesn't know... it's like Uri has a feeling they will make Master sad or hurt him... But Uri doesn't really understand how they're going to do that... Uri's just a box weapon...
Master tries very hard not to get mad whenever "Pervert- Quack" is around too. But when "Pervert- Quack" goes too far, Master will let Ore- sama "take care" of him. ("GRRROOOAAAAWWWRRR!!")
Ore- sama likes it when he scratches the back of Ore- sama's ears and tells Ore- sama that Ore- sama's done a good job; that Ore- sama is a "good boy". Ore- sama would then sometimes stomp on "Pervert- Quack's" head one more time and it makes Master laugh! Ore- sama likes to make Master laugh because it means Master is happy!
"Pervert Quack" doesn't like Uri... and Uri doesn't care. Master being safe and happy is all that matters to Uri! X3
One day, Uri is finally released from the box again.
It's been a long time since Uri was let out. Or maybe it really hasn't been that long.
The only person Uri sees is a young boy, looking bewildered at Uri's appearance.
He's startled to see Uri, and at the same time looks a little disappointed with Uri's size... Well, that's not Uri's problem if Uri's small now... You should see Uri when Master puts Ore- sama into action in a fight, you weird stranger- person, you! MREOWRRR!!
Oh well... There's nothing there that looks like it wants to hurt Master. Since there's no trouble, it must be "playtime". X3
But Uri's confused... Where is Master?
"You're not Master." Uri told him, and mewled at him to tell Uri where Master went. He doesn't understand you, Uri. (Well... neither does Master but he almost always seems to know what Uri wants.)
Uri can't help but think that this person... this boy, is not Master... although he smells a little like Master... (Master smells like the "Cancer sticks" sometimes. But Master smells nice most of the time... Master always takes a bath! Sometimes he even gives Uri one! X3 Some lady Master always calls the "Stupid Woman" and always goes "Ha- hi!" calls Master's smell "cologne". What's that? Well, Uri doesn't care. It's Master's smell anyway. X3)
He sounds and talks a little like Master. (But Master sounds more serious than him anyway. Master also uses big words that Uri can't understand sometimes when he talks. This boy just talks big.)
He even looks a little like Master. (But he dresses a little differently than Master. His clothes are weird...) He's even got that "Cancer stick" thing that Master sometimes has in his mouth.
But Uri can't say that he IS Master...
For one thing, he doesn't know what to call Uri.
"Master calls me Uri."Uri mewled when he asked what Uri is called. Uri doesn't think he understands Uri. "If you really are Master, you'd call Uri 'Uri'."
He doesn't get it, of course.
Well, since he has no idea what Uri is called; Uri decided to ignore him and explore the room...
...Uri knows this room... Master does his training (or "playtime" for Uri) here every now and then. He also reads in here a lot.
The last time that Uri was here, Master was busy reading another "book". He ignored Uri again the whole time and was reading about a big giant snake... A "Tsuchi- snake"... [4]
Hmph. What's so special about a big, ugly, old snake? Uri had sniffed... Uri is so much better than that creepy- looking thing...
Wait...
Why was Master reading all about it?
Is he planning to get one?
Is he planning to replace Uri?
...
"Master, don't get a Tsuchi- snake!" Uri had panicked then. "Look, Master, look! Uri can hiss too!" Uri had jumped into Master's lap and hissed and spit at the picture of the big Tsuchi- snake in the book so he could see.
Master got annoyed and brushed Uri off his lap. Then he told Uri not to bother him. After that Uri tore up the picture of the Tsuchi- snake Master was looking at. ("Master, play with Uri!!")
Anyway, Master got mad when Uri did that; but he didn't put Uri back in the box.
Instead he ignored Uri again and turned to another page.
So Uri climbed into Master's lap again and clambered onto his shoulder to bat at Master's hair. Master usually pays attention to Uri when Uri does that.
It took a while but Master finally got tired of it and took Uri off his shoulder and put Uri beside the "book". Uri tried to read the book (Yes, Uri can read! X3 Uri is a smart box weapon! Smarter than a stupid, ugly, giant snake!), while Master fixed the mess Uri made of Master's hair. (Uri thought it was too long... "Sword- Idiot" said that Master needs a "haircut"...)
Going back to the strange boy who looks like Master...
Uri saw that he had some of Master's "rings" and an old one that Uri was sure that "Tenth" had destroyed some time before. (Why does he have Master's old "ring"?) Then Uri saw some of Master's toys on the desk the weird boy was sitting at.
Uri jumped up on the desk and began to play with them. Uri thought that maybe if Uri messed them up a little Master will come out (he'll scold Uri, but at least he'll come out).
The weird boy got mad and yelled at Uri not to play with them (...Funny, that's just how Master would react and exactly what Master would say to Uri...)
Uri thought this boy is hiding Master... Uri would make him tell Uri where Master is.
Uri then decided to scratch and bite the weird boy: he still doesn't tell Uri anything. Instead he tries to hit Uri and throw Uri off.
He can't do it though. He lost against Uri. "Huh. Weakling." Uri huffed and hopped off the desk, Uri's tail high in the air.
Uri had gotten one of Master's "rings" loose from one of the boxes when Uri was playing with them. Uri wondered why they were there and why Master didn't have them with him. Did this boy steal them? Or did Master give them to him?
This boy pays attention to Uri a lot more than Master, even if it's just angry yelling at Uri for just being Uri.
Uri doesn't get him: he IS weird. Weirder than Uri's Master.
But... He talks a bit like Master... He even uses the same words Master is always throwing in every other sentence. ("Sword- idiot" calls it "swearing") He even scolds Uri the way Master does.
The weird boy lets Uri out of the box to see how long he can keep his flame going too... just like Master.
He also follows around a shorter, brown haired person of his own. He even calls that person "Tenth".
Uri doesn't get it... Is that the same "Tenth"- person?
The last time Uri saw "Tenth", he was badly hurt... worse than Master. Master was badly hurt that time too... Master was sad and scared. Uri didn't like it... Uri doesn't like it when Master is sad and scared. Uri doesn't like it even more when he's that badly hurt.
Master couldn't move very well then; he told Uri to get "help" and find "Yamamoto". Uri didn't want to leave Master behind.
What if there were bad people who wanted to hurt Master (and "Tenth")? Uri meowed. Master had reached out and put his hand on Uri's back.
That time, Uri had seen something red and wet on Master's hand.
Uri saw and could smell that it was blood...
It was Master's blood...
Why was Master putting his blood on Uri? Uri doesn't like blood and Uri tried to remove it.
Master told Uri not to so Uri had to obey.
Later Uri went to find "Yamamoto".
When Uri found him, "Yamamoto" followed Uri back to Master and "Tenth". By that time, Uri had begun to feel weak and sick then because Master was also growing weak. Uri went to Master and tried to wake him up... but then Uri's power went out when Master fell asleep.
Uri hasn't seen Master since...
Instead it's this weird boy who looks like him who's always with Uri instead of Uri's Master.
That's funny... The weird boy also knows a nice tall black- haired person called "Yamamoto" too. This "Yamamoto" person looks a little different though... He's shorter for one... and he sort of acts a little dumb too. Master's weird look- alike also calls this "Yamamoto" 'Baseball- freak'... Just like Master does...
Hmm... Maybe he is Master. OR maybe he's not... He doesn't call this "Yamamoto" "Sword- idiot" after all.
Well, Uri doesn't think he is Uri's Master.
Uri can tell by his flame powering Uri. It's not quite the same as Master's. The taste is a little different...
But Uri thinks it's weird: he's got the same kinds of flames Master can make. He's even trying out the same attacks that Master can do with his other boxes.
Uri scoffed at the weird boy's attempt to make one of Master's favorite attacks for the first time.
"So what? Big deal, so you can do it too... Master does it ten times better than you!" Uri hissed, while on top of the weird boy's head. Uri had jumped up on it to get a ride to escape the blast the boy made at the wall of the room.
The flames feel the same but they're so weak in comparison to Master's. "Master is NOT weak like you!" Uri mewed at him one day.
Of course, he ignored Uri (like Master) and just lit one of those "Cancer sticks" that Master kept in his desk. ("Hey! Those aren't yours! They're Master's; put them back!" [14]). Then he blasted at one of those targets with Master's Flame Arrow [11] ("You suck! Uri's Master's got better aim than you!").
Anyway, his flame is still weak compared to Master's. Uri guesses it's maybe because he's still a kid.
Uri guesses only time will tell. Maybe someday... Someday he will be just like Master.
Or maybe he won't. Uri can't tell. Uri doesn't know or understand those things anyway.
But Uri'll wait and see if this boy will grow up and become stronger like the Master Uri knows. Then maybe Uri'll know if it IS the same Master.
OR Uri can just keep scratching and biting him until he tells Uri where Uri's Master is!
Master didn't give Uri away and get a Tsuchi- snake, did he?! ('Nyeeeeooooo!! [13] Master, how could you?!')
Uri wants to listen to Master play with the "Grand" again.
Uri saw another "Grand" in one of Uri's Master's rooms. Uri doesn't know what it's doing there but Uri thinks it means that Master is somewhere in here.
"Uri wants Uri's real Master. Where did you hide him? [12] Where did Master go?" Uri mewled at the boy that took his place. "When's Master coming home?"
He doesn't know... He can't understand you, Uri...
He even looks at this new "Grand" with that sad, longing look that Master sometimes has on before Master makes up his mind whether to play or not.
Uri has to stay with this weird boy for several days... and Uri still doesn't see Master.
Uri wants to know when Master will come home... Uri misses Master... Uri wonders if Master will be home soon. Uri doesn't like this lookalike of Master. He's really mean to Uri!
But it's really strange: he now calls Uri "Uri", just like Master. How does he know Uri's name? Uri knows nobody told him...
It's almost like he IS Master.
No, Uri, stop that! Bad Uri! Don't think like that! Master is Master! That weird impostor kid is NOT Uri's Master!
When Master comes home, Uri'll give him a hard scratch as punishment for leaving Uri alone with this strange kid who talks, acts, looks and smells like Master (but doesn't dress like him).
Master will, for sure, get mad at Uri again for doing that. But Uri knows he'll get over it and maybe he'll play with the new "Grand" in his room while Uri keeps him company again.
Uri decides that Uri will wait until Uri's real Master comes home.
TRANSMISSION OF DECLASSIFIED ARCHIVE FILE 003 COMPLETE
A/N: Hahaha...! Well, that was fun... and sad... but silly...in the cute kind of way. That could explain why Uri acts so mean to the teenaged Gokudera. It's so loyal to the adult Gokudera and it wants him back! Awww... Uri misses TYL Goku! Hurry home already, TYL 'dera, you bad boy!
[1] "Playtime": Training for prolonging the emission of a Dying Will Flame. I mentioned this in the first one- shot and in Rewrite 02 of "T.R.R.o.R.", I think.
[2] On Petting and Playing with Master: Uhm, Uri... I don't really think "Tenth" would 'pet' your Master on the head or 'tummy'... (or make him eat out of his hand) let alone play with him like a cat... 8/ That's a little bit disturbing, now that I think about it... Adult Tsuna treating his Right- hand like a pet kitten... Cannot... Does not compute... D8 -overload- (Suddenly has a very bad idea of writing something involving nekomimi ears... Fufufufu...)
[3] Uri- go, the language of deadly but cute box weapon kittens: [3a] "Baseball- freak/Sword- Idiot/Yamamoto": No need for explanation. [3b] "Tenth/Boss": Three guesses who and the first two don't count. [3c] "Kid- Lambo": Lambo at five years old, transported to the future care of a Ten- Year Bazooka. [3d] "Boxing- freak": Who else is a freak for boxing? [3e] "Cancer Stick": Cigarette, duh. [3f] "Grand": Obviously that's a grand piano. [3g] "Scores": Musical scores for piano. Adult Gokudera looks "sad" whenever he sees them because they remind him of his mom (again, obviously). He'll keep fixing them and putting them back together for as long as they can still be saved. [3h] "Pervert- Quack": Obviously Dr. Shamal.
... Now that I think about it, this almost sounds like TYL Gokudera's vocabulary... Master and pet... I mean, BOX are too similar in some aspects... TYL Gokudera has definitely rubbed off on his animal box weapon... XD
Let's see the other bits of Uri- go...:
[4] Tsuchi- snake: Obviously the "Tsuchinoko"... Pft... Hahaha! I made Uri out into such a spoiled and jealous kitty. I could just imagine it pestering the TYL Gokudera every now and then whenever it sees him: 'Master, play with me! Pay attention to me! Die, Tsuchi- snake!'
[5] Healthy when Happy: Since Uri is a box weapon, it's powered by Gokudera's wave energy. The strength of one's resolution affects the strength of the flame or at least that's how I understood the concept. Uri's definition of "happy" can be just the "simply happy" or it could be just Gokudera's overwhelming determination to follow Tsuna and follow his beliefs to the end (I think it's really the latter).
[6] "Master Belongs to Uri!": I read somewhere that cats mark their territory by rubbing their sides against it. So the next time a cat rubs and nuzzles against you, it's not just being affectionate. It's marking you as ITS territory! (They're out for world domination! Mwahahahaha!!) TYL Gokudera's Uri's territory/property!
[7] "...and "Tenth"... Share him with a lot of people...: Someone pointed this out to me before I posted it online. (I didn't realize it could imply something else while I was writing. D'oh!) When Uri says that "Master belongs to "Tenth" and to the "Family"," it's not in the physical, intimate, sexual sense. Uri means that Gokudera belongs to the Vongola and is at Tsuna's beck and call (we can't deny that; Goku's practically pledged himself to do 'anything' (his words) Tsuna commands him to when he first joined the Vongola). Besides, what does a kitten/ box weapon know about humans and their method of reproduction anyway? Uri is really too innocent... X3
[8] "Hitting on women": Yeah, Uri is right! "Hitting" women is bad! Shamal shouldn't make Uri's Master do "bad things" if he doesn't want to! ROFLMAOLOL
[9] "MEEEOOWR!?": "Aaaaaah??" (As in the way Goku says it in the juvy- delinquent way before he's starts blowing up or beating up (whichever comes first) somebody for bullying Tsuna or pissing him off.)
[10] "Get Away From Him!": LOL, Uri as a possessive and territorial kitty over Goku...! I pity the next person who hits on him and tries to get into its Master's pants. They have to pass an animal box weapon's standards first before getting approval or even approaching him! Nothing less for Uri's Master! (... I have a feeling that there are some undertones of 'somebody' in there...)
[11] On the Flame Arrow: ... Uri knows what Flame Arrow's called... Does that mean Gokudera still has a lame naming sense even after ten years...? TT-TT
[12] "Where'd You Hide Him?": I think everybody who's reading this has pretty much figured out that the adult Gokudera has been sent to the past by this time.
[13] Nyeeeeooooo!!: Noooooooooo!! (Kitty wail!!)
[14] "Put Them Back!": I found the parts where he's comparing the teenage Gokudera's flames and performance with the Sistema C.A.I. to the adult version's hilarious. Uri would probably be also protective of the adult Gokudera's stuff seeing as the teenage version doesn't seem to give a shit (Remember this line?: "It's fine. It's mine, anyway." [KHR manga chapter 137])
