Tenko-Sama
This story is a crossover. Why? Because I have never seen a Naruto/Wagaya No Oinari-Sama crossover before.
Now, we all know what Naruto is about…or at least, we think so. It really depends on Kishimoto. However, for those who have never seen Wagaya No Oinari-Sama before, I'd suggest watching an episode or two, though I don't think you really need to in order to enjoy this story.
Wagaya No Oinari-Sama, is an anime/manga, though I have only watched the anime…can't find the manga(damn); and it is about an astral spirit, a Kitsune, named Tenko Kuugen. Kuugen, has the ability to do many things, including making and throwing fireballs. Kuugen also has the ability to transform into a human, which ever gender Kuugen wants to be at that moment.
Now, the anime is about Kuugen, who is a reckless spirit…er…demon…yeah, that's it. However, in the anime, Kuugen is mostly a guardian spirit. Kuugen, who is in a female form most of the time, so for the basics, I will label Kuugen as a she; is asked to take care of two young boys by their great grandmother, who is a sentinel of their family's shrine. The older one is a high school student and his younger brother, who is a middle school student. Because he has 'Yin' in his blood or spirit, other youkai like to feed on 'Yin' so the younger brother is in constant danger of being attacked, and as a result his older brother is sometimes caught in the middle of it all.
Kuugen is a fox at heart, and loves to cause mischief. She also likes to eat…and eat…and eat. She likes to eat so much that when she and the boy's play 'Lotto' games that have prizes such as baskets of food and trips to onsens, she always tries to win the food. However, she always wins the free onsen trips instead. Kuugen is also a fierce youkai at times. She will even battle the gods to protect the two boys who she is guarding, even though she probably has no chance in succeeding in doing so.
Now, this idea came to me when I was reading…oh now, what was it…Harry Potter and the World Beneath, by Tellemicus Sundance. In that story, Harry leaves the Dursleys and somehow finds his way into the magical world alone and at a young age. I don't want to give it all away just in case you maybe interested in reading the story for yourself, but Harry ends up befriending a very different sort of creature. (The story is not in my favorites at the moment, but then again, most of my favorites aren't in my favorites lol)
Now, I don't want to make this story follow quite the same path, but Naruto will end up befriending a large, yellow and white fox(Tenko Kuugen in her natural fox form) and that will start causing problems for him and his new found friend…who he doesn't know anything about, other than the fact that it likes to eat his food…
This story won't be as action packed as others, but I think it will be funny nonetheless, especially when Kuugen starts to screw around with people for fun(including Orochimaru). There will still be action…but for the most part of it, it's going to be pre-Genin days for Naruto. Though that doesn't mean that our favorite red headed monster in a gourd won't make an appearance, nor other characters…like Kira Bee…I like him…hate his rapping, but he's a cool character nonetheless.
Romance wise? Well, maybe a one sided kind of thing…but as I said, this story will mainly consist of pre-Genin days, and that means, unless I fiddle around with the time line and age requirements, that Naruto will be ten years old or less. Romance at ten? I was a sucker for pretty girls at the age of 7…but romance? Don't think I thought about that too far.
Anyways, on to the disclaimer and then…the prologue!
I don't own Naruto or Wagaya No Oinari-Sama…if I did…then…then…I don't know. Anyways, I don't own it…
Prologue
The Yellow Kitsune
--
It seemed strange to the people of Konohagakure, that there had been recent reports of a large, yellow and white Kitsune wandering around the outskirts of the village, and especially so close to the 9th anniversary of the devastating attack cause by the Kyuubi no Kitsune. It was downright scary when it was seen walking through the village the night of the 9th anniversary of that dreaded attack. And, to make it all worse, it seemed to be heading towards a tall apartment building…and headed for the stairs. No wanted to think about why it was going up the stairs…so they informed the Hokage about the strange and scary animal and where it was going.
'Please, please don't tell me that it is or was a friend of the Kyuubi…' was one of the many thoughts going through the Sandaime's mind as he watched it reach the top story of the rather tall apartment building. His eyes only opened wider as he saw it start to make its way towards the last door on the left side of the top floor, through the village's mystical crystal ball, used for locating anyone in the village at any time.
With a push of a secret button, under his desk, two asked ANBU appeared, bowing before the Hokage. Sarutobi merely pointed at the large yellow and white fox in the ball and with a furrowed brow, gave them the order.
"Capture that Kitsune at all costs!"
With a nod, the two ANBU left in a silent swirl of leaves. Sarutobi knew it would take them a moment before they got to the fox, and as he waited, he prayed that it wasn't there to release the Kyuubi no Kitsune.

Uzumaki Naruto sighed. It was the day before his birthday and he had learned a couple of years ago that it wasn't the best idea to go and play outdoors. Why? Because all the adults went out to celebrate the death of the Kyuubi no Kitsune by drinking alcohol…and with all those drunks, someone was more than likely to get hurt…badly. He heard about an incident last year, that involved a man and his two friends who had gotten drunk as drunks could get, and tried to pick up women from another bar. The women they chose were the girlfriends of a couple of Chuunin and the Chuunin had taken offense and beat the three men to a bloody pulp. All five of the men were arrested later, but the three drunks, who had hit on the women, were normal citizens, and were sent to the hospital first…but all five men were later sentenced to a month in prison for their crimes/actions.
"I'm bored…" Naruto said aloud, to no one but himself. He had locked himself in his apartment, making sure that no one could get in, and had gone and sat next to the window. He thought it would be funny watching the drunks run around and bump into each other, but so far, no one had bumped into anyone. Looking away from the window, he looked over at his small kitchen area and stared at it. Then, he looked at a small clock on his table and then back to the kitchen. With a small amount of effort, he got up of the window sill and made his way over to the kitchen and started to rummage around. After about ten seconds of looking in a small cupboard, he pulled out a pot and brought it to the kitchen sink and turned the water on.
"Tonight's episode of 'Cooking with Chef Naruto'…how to cook ramen!" he said to himself as he stopped the flow of the water from the faucet and slowly and carefully brought it over to the stove top and placed it carefully on one of the burners. "Make sure you turn the burner on to '3' and then take out and prepare your packaged ramen for cooking." Naruto narrated as he walked away from the stove and the pot in search of a package of ramen to cook. He was out of cup ramen, but he had some packages somewhere. Looking in a smaller cupboard than the one he found the pot in, he pulled out two packages of ramen, both sealed in bright orange baggies.
Making his way back to the counter near the stove, he turned to the invisible audience and smiled at them cheerfully. "I will now show you how to prepare the ramen before it goes in the pot!" he exclaimed. "Now, normally I wouldn't break the noodles up, but I have to today because my big pot has a hole in the bottom and wouldn't hold water anymore…" he told the 'camera' "…so, because of that, a smaller pot is needed." He added. "Now, make sure you don't pop the bag by accident, because the noodles will spill onto the floor and become yucky-fied…so, place the bag on the counter…and…"
SLAM!
Naruto slammed his small hands on top of the packaged ramen and then brought his hand up again…and then…
SLAM!
…brought it back down.
"Now, I like my noodles long and stringy…and bouncy…and dangly…so I'll stop breaking them up. You can smash them as much as you like, though if it's too small, then it won't taste as good." He instructed the invisible crowd, with a smile. "Next, check the water in the pot to see if its boiling." Naruto demonstrated by looking over at the pot of boiling water and smiled. "And if it is, open the baggie and get ready to dump the noodles in…but make sure you take the flavor bag out first…I forgot to one day and the baggie kind of melted…didn't taste too good either…which is probably why I got sick…" he trailed off as he searched for the little package of flavoring in the ramen bag. Pulling it out with a grin, he turned to the pot and dumped the noodles in. As he searched for the baggie of flavoring in the other baggie, he didn't notice the strange noise at the door to his apartment.
"Alright, now that the noodles are in the pot, get your bowls out!" Naruto directed. He clambered over to another cupboard and rummaged through the contents before pulling out a large bowl, and placing it on the counter. "Now, you gotta wait three minutes before you can eat it, so while we wait, I'm gonna go over and-"
Scratch-scratch-scratch…
"…find out where that noise is coming from…" Naruto finished quietly. Stepping away from the stove, which he turned down a bit so that his food didn't burn; he started to look around his apartment…which wasn't too hard to do, considering there were only two rooms. The main room had everything but the bathroom…and the second room was the bathroom. So, as the sound of scratching became faster and slightly louder, Naruto started to check everywhere he could think.
He checked his bed, but couldn't find out what was making the noise. He checked his couch, but like his bed, couldn't find the noise. He checked his small TV and his dresser, but still couldn't find where it was coming from. Then, he checked in the bathroom.
He checked the tub, but didn't see anything other than a rubber toad lying on its side in the bottom. He checked his medicine cabinet, which held his toothpaste and a forgotten roll of floss. He even looked in the toilet, but couldn't find where the noise was coming from.
With a scowl on his face, Naruto made way back into the other room and looked around once more. The noise seemed to have had stopped when he was in the bathroom. With a shrug, he made his way towards the stove and lifted the pot off the hot burner and placed it on a cooler one. Turning the now empty burner off, he started to look around for a wooden spoon to stir in the flavor with. However, as he pulled one out, the noise started up again.
Scratch-scratch-scratch…
With an ugly look on his small face, Naruto slammed the wooden spoon on the counter and stomped around the room, just in case the noise was being made by mice. When the noise stopped again, Naruto nodded to himself, as if to say 'Good job!' and started to make his way back to the counter…and his ramen. However, halfway there…
Scratch-scratch-scratch…
"Gah!" he exclaimed. His face, red with anger, made his way towards the front and only door to his apartment. 'It has to be from outside…there's nowhere left to look…well…maybe under my underwear, but Jiji says that mice would rather be eaten by cats than hide under my underwear…' as got to the front door, he paused and pressed his right ear to the door, hoping to hear the sound again.
Scratch-scratch-scratch…
With a sinister grin, Naruto tip-toed back to his counter and grabbed the wooden spoon he had used to stir in the flavor packages into the ramen he had just cooked; and tip-toed back to the door. His face, with a downright evil look in his eyes, unlocked the door and waited a half second before pulling it open as fast as he could, with the wooden spoon high in the air, ready to strike death upon the mouse or rat that had been making him miss the hot, steamy, tastiness of his freshly cooked ramen…only to find nothing there.
'Huh?' he stared outside in confusion. After a minute's time of staring out the door, he slowly shrugged his shoulders and closed his door, and locked it. He closed his eyes, and with a sigh, he turned around and started to make his way towards the counter. 'I think I'll just eat my ramen and go to bed…if I don't I might end up like Iruka-Sensei…crazy…' As he opened his eyes, Naruto came to a sudden halt.
"Na-Nani?"
There, in his kitchen/dinning room/living room/bedroom, was a huge yellow and white kitsune, with its muzzle buried in his fresh, warm, ramen…Something, deep inside of him, broke. Shattered to pieces…millions of pieces.
He felt his eyes twitching…he could see everything twitching… A cruel, twisted and slightly deranged look over shadowed his face. Raising the spoon in the air, he let himself known to the intruding, ramen stealing monster.
"DIEEEEE!" with that shout, the fox looked up out of the pot and its eyes grew large as it watched the small boy with the wooden spoon grinning evilly as he swung the spoon down on its head.
Of course, it would have hit, had the fox not been warned of the attack by the boy's war cry…and dodged the attack…and then tackled the boy to the ground, snarling as it did so. As it snarled at the boy, the boy didn't stop glaring at it…but it did stop looking at it like it was some sort of brainless ogre. The fox started to let off the boy, only wanting the ramen in the pot…but when it started to turn around…
SMACK!
The fox snarled menacingly as it whirled around. It didn't think that a small boy, no matter how angry, would actually hit it over the head with a wooden spoon. The boy swung again, this time nearly smacking the fox in the left eye…thankfully, the large animal jumped away.
"That's my ramen, you thieving kitsune!" Naruto yelled at the fox.
"…" the fox replied.
"You owe me! You hear me?! YOU OWE ME!" Naruto shouted at the fox, though somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew that it couldn't understand him anyways.
"…" the fox just looked at the irate boy. Suddenly, the fox turned around and stuffed its head back in the pot of ramen and began eating again. Once again…the boy charged…spoon held high over his head, ready to smack the fox again…or…at least…that was the plan…
"I'd suggest you don't hit me again, Ningen…I just might eat you if you do…" the kitsune stated in an annoyed tone, its muzzle still in the pot of ramen. Through a muzzle full of ramen, the kitsune smirked as the sound of flesh hitting wood and wood hitting wood could be heard throughout the room.
"N-N-Na-Nan-Na-NANI?!"
Suddenly, there was a loud sound from outside the apartment.
BANG-BANG-BANG!
Naruto, in shock of what he had just heard, didn't move. The large, yellow and white kitsune, however, did.
As the door handle started to jiggle violently, the kitsune sat right in front of the door, waiting for it to open. When it did, and two tall men wearing white masks entered the apartment, the kitsune, which was much larger than the two men had expected, bowled them over as it dashed away. Both men were about to turn around, when one of them saw Naruto lying on the ground, shaking in what they guess was fear. One of the men nodded to the other to go after the large kitsune, while he made his way over to the boy.
"Kid…you okay?" he asked, his voice muffled slightly by the mask he wore.
"Ki-ki-ki-kit-kistune…" Naruto stuttered as he continued to stare at where the large animal had just been. "It a-ate m-m-my ra-ramen…"
'Why would a kitsune eat ramen? And why on the top floor of a large apartment building?' the masked man wondered to himself.
"Inu-sempai!" the sound of his partner's voice reached his ears and the man in the apartment turned to look at the man.
"Did you capture it?" he asked, not worrying about the blonde boy anymore.
"Iie…it got away."
"Neko…how did a kitsune, get away from an ANBU when it was on the top floor of a nine story building?" Inu asked, plainly irritated.
"It uh…jumped, sir…" Neko stated slowly.
"It jumped?" Inu asked.
"Yeah…from the seventh floor…" Neko confirmed.
"Then shouldn't it be dead then? The ground is easily over eighty feet below…even a shinobi would die from these heights." Inu asked, thinking about it logically.
"Well…it jumped…but it uh…didn't land on the ground…sir…" Neko stated, pausing for a moment, as if not believing what he was about to say. "It jumped into the trees, sir, and left that way…"
"What?!" Inu asked quickly. "Come on, Hokage-Sama wants us…"
"What about him?" Neko asked, pointing at the still shell shocked boy in the apartment.
"Leave him…He'll think it's all just a dream…a hallucination." Inu said. For a moment, Neko looked at the boy, but then back to his partner and nodded shortly. "Let's go." With that, both men left the apartment in a swirl of leaves.

"It jumped into the trees?" Sarutobi asked the two masked men in front of him.
"Hai, Hokage-Sama…" Neko stated.
"And it went to the apartment building, to find food?" Sarutobi asked again, as if not believing what the men were telling him. 'If only the orb worked in that room…' he thought to himself. He didn't see what the fox did once it entered the room, and do to the angle, he didn't see it jump away either, though he did see it rush passed the two ANBU as soon as they broke the door in. 'Note to self…have a Genin team fix Naruto's door…'
"Hai, Hokage-Sama…" Inu nodded. "From what the boy was muttering when I checked on him after the kitsune ran out of his apartment, it ate his ramen…"
"Hmm…a large, fast yellow-white kitsune who has a taste for ramen…" Sarutobi thought to himself as he looked at his desk. Looking back at the two men, he smiled at them. "Thank you. Even though you didn't capture it, I think you earned a bit of a bonus anyways…" he said before writing them a small bonus check. "Now, leave me be…I need to ponder…"
"Hai, Hokage-Sama!" the two men barked and then left with their bonus checks in a helix of leaves and wind.
Sarutobi sat in silence for a moment, pondering over the information that they had gathered for him. "Why on earth would a kitsune climb to the top of an apartment building just to steal some ramen?" With a shrug, he opened a draw and withdrew a small, orange book and opened it. Instantly, his face turned red and a small chuckle filled the room.
As he read, a thought entered his mind.
'The way it moved…acted…stole that ramen…it is most definitely not a normal kitsune…'
--
In a dark part of the forest, in a thicket, a large yellow-white kitsune had settled down for some well earned rest.
'That was good…maybe I should go again tomorrow?' "Kakakakaka!" with that short, foxy laugh out of its system, the fox closed its eyes for the night.
Well, there you have it…I wrote this all in under two hours, so I hope it's too your liking. Maybe, just maybe I'll update something tomorrow…or the next day. I'm almost done with my Heir of Uzu's first chapter, and then I'll probably be working on Kitty...time will tell what I do however.
Anyways, if you want to watch the anime for Wagaya No Oinari-Sama, than type it in on Google…just be careful which site you visit. I believe there are 24 episodes in the series. Oh, and give it a few episodes to see if you like it…the first one is kind of slow…
Well…I have to take the trash out…which is a pain…especially since it's like negative something degrees Fahrenheit with the wind-chill…But, I don't want mice in my room…I'll have to deal with the 500 or more bats living right above my head in the spring, summer and fall…I don't want to deal with mice…unless they are in a cage or tank.
Review if you feel like it, though reviews make me feel…something…I don't know what it is yet…it may be just gas that makes me feel the way I do when I get reviews...but I'm not entirely sure yet.
Ja
P.S. Thanks to a Annon reviewer for pointing out my mistake with Tenko Kuugen's name. The anime I've been watching spells 'Tenko' as 'Tengo' or 'Tenkou' but I've seen more with 'Tengo' so I thought it was as such. Hopefully it is all correct now. Thanks again.
