"A Little Troublemaker"

"See, I told you I could climb up here", Izumi called down to his sister.
Kiara did a little dance on all fours. "Yaay!", she encouraged him from the kitchen floor.
The grey furred kitsune cat tried to stand up on the counter. His thick pink diaper spread his legs apart under his skirt and Izumi struggled to get his feet properly under himself. He had to use both his tails for balance, but in the end he managed.
Izumi stretched, standing on tiptoe as he reached for the cookie jar. Balancing it on one paw, he slowly took it down. Kiara held her breath.
Then the jar was on the kitchen counter and Izumi took off the lid. Kiara was already on her hind paws.
"How do I get the cookie jar down to Kiara?", Izumi thought. But then he figured out that he did not have to. He could just throw down the cookies to Kiara!
His little sister did not seem to mind eating the cookies off the kitchen floor at all. She gobbled up two whole cookies, and even licked the kitchen floor clean where she had eaten them.
"I got you the cookies, Kiara. Remember, you promised you won't tell mommy who knocked over the vase in the garden if I get you cookies."
"Yah! Kiara promise", the little serval meowed back at her brother.
Just as he was trying to put the cookie jar back in its place, it slid from Izumi's paws. The jar fell off the kitchen counter at the side with a loud crash and broke into several pieces.
Kiara quickly grabbed another cookie in her muzzle. Then she ran off to eat it in a safe place.
Izumi got a little frightened as he heard the crash. He lost his balance and fell, but thankfully he was able to hang on to the edge of the kitchen counter with his paws. When he let go, he landed safely on his poofy diaper.
Of course, SnowMink had heard the crash. So only a moment later, she came running into the kitchen and saw the befuddled kit sitting right next to a broken cookie jar.
"What happened? Are you all right, Izumi?", she gasped, quickly checking that Izumi wasn't hurt. But when she found out he was ok, she scolded him loudly.
"That was so dangerous! You could have been hurt! What the hell were you thinking, Izumi?"
Izumi just sat with his ears drooping, saying nothing but "I'm sorry".
He couldn't tell SnowMink that Kiara made him get the cookies, or he'd be in even more trouble.
After some more harsh words from SnowMink, Izumi was sent to bed early with no dinner.

"I wanna choc'lit!", Kiara demanded.
"I don't know. How much have you had already today?", Cirrus said. The vulpix looked at his little sister, not wanting to deny her a wish but always concerned about her well-being.
Well, Kiara knew what she had to do to get her brother's six tails in line. She simply took a deep breath and started to whine. It would soon rise into a full tantrum, he had heard it before.
"Alright, alright, please don't cry!"
Cirrus was tall enough that he could open the fridge and grab a Mars bar out of the sweets box in the door.
As soon as she saw him get the chocolate, Kiara stopped her tantrum before it had really even started.
The little serval kitten suddenly looked up to Cirrus with big pleading eyes as only a little kitten can.
"Feed me?"
He smiled. "Okay, Kiara."
And so Cirrus sat on the floor in front of the fridge, breaking off small bits of the Mars bar and feeding them to Kiara.
Just before the last bit, Kiara heard something with her large ears. She rubbed her muzzle against her brother's paw and merrily scampered off.
Cirrus got left with the last bite of Mars bar in his paws. After a while, he shrugged and stuck it into his muzzle.
Just then, SnowMink walked into the kitchen. Seeing him eating sweets before dinner, she frowned.
"You're not supposed to eat sweets before dinner. You're not getting your after dinner sweet today, Cirrus! No more sweets for you today."
"And look, you got your paws all sticky with chocolate now." SnowMink grabbed a washcloth and a towel and started cleaning him.
Cirrus had his muzzle full, so he could not protest that Kiara had been the one eating most of the Mars bar.
And besides, it isn't nice to rat on your little sister for something so harmless.

Kiara dragged the pack of Marshmallows to the section of the hall where they usually got dressed for going out.
She dropped it there and went looking for something soft to sit on because the tiles were hard and a bit cool.
The little serval stood on her hind paws and grabbed one of Cirrus' shirts with her teeth. This one was yellow and it showed a pretty pichu. It would be good to sit on.
Opening the pack of Marshmallows with her claws, she let them fall on the shirt, then sat down on it with them.
Kiara was still a very messy eater and when she had munched up all six marshmallows, the shirt did not look quite so clean any more.
Still, she hung it back where it came from and wisely put the torn up pack in the trash in the kitchen.
Minutes later, she heard her mother call for Cirrus from the hall.
When an unsuspecting vulpix came looking what was wrong, he was greeted by an angry mink.
"I thought I told you you couldn't have any more sweets today! No, I don't want to hear it, you're going to bed right now, young man! You should be ashamed of yourself!"
Cirrus had a certain suspicion who had really eaten the marshmallows, but he couldn't be sure and SnowMink was already mad at him, so he obediently went to bed, only pouting a bit at the unfairness of life as a cub.

Later, SnowMink took Kiara to the kitchen. She put her in her high chair and sat right next to her, petting her long ears.
"Your naughty brothers are already in bed. So what would you like for dinner, Kiara?"
Kiara purred at her mother, repeating "Naughty brothers!" and giggling at her. But when she was asked about dinner, the kitten just said,
"Kiara not hungry."
"Oh?", SnowMink asked, surprised. "You're always hungry. What did you eat today, Kiara?"
Little kittens aren't very good when it comes to keeping secrets and Kiara was no exception.
"Kiara eat cookies and Mars and mashellos!"
"What? Wait a minute..."
Her brothers were brought out again, and soon the whole story lay in front of SnowMink.
Kiara got to hear a few choice words from her mother, mostly for bullying Izumi and letting Cirrus take the blame for smearing marshmallows all over that shirt.
Then she had to apologize to her brothers and sit in the corner while SnowMink made them both special treats for dinner.
In the end, Kiara had to go to bed early while Cirrus and Izumi got to sit in SnowMink's lap to watch a movie.
Kiara thought that was very unfair. She made sure to tell her white mink plushie all about it!
