A 10 year old fox boy was sitting in a forest under a big tree crying. He had ocean blue eyes, orange, fluffy ears, a fluffy orange tail but the tails tip was white, he also had three whisker like scars on each cheek. While he was crying, he didn't notice another presence.
''Whats wrong little boy?'' a wolf girl, about 15 years old, asked the fox boy. She was a rear breed of white and black wolves but her fur color changes with her mood, white when shes calm and happy, black when shes angry or sad, so right now her fur on the ears and tail was white and also her hair was white (and the same goes for the black color). She had two different eye color, the right was sky blue and the left was a dark yellow color.
The fox was startled and he got up up and ran behind the big tree scared whit his ears flat on his orange hair. The wolf girl blinked and then giggled a bit ''Don't worry kit, I wont hurt you'' she said in a calm, friendly voice.
The fox was surprised that someone would talk to him in that matter. ''Who are you?'' the fox asked a bit scared.
The wolf smiled and said '' My name is Shadow and I'm a rare white or black wolf. Whats your name kit?''
''I'm Naruto an orange fox... why 'white or black'? '' Naruto said in a quiet voice, his tail wrapped around his leg.
Shadow smiled while happily wagging her tail ''Nice to meet you Naruto and my fur color depends on my mood or feelings''
Naruto looked at the wolf, he was confused as to why she would talk to him let alone smile
''I guess its nice to meet you too..'' Naruto said still a bit confused about her fur colors and how they change.
''So why were you crying?''when Shadow started talking Naruto was pulled out of his thoughts. She was curious as to why such a cute boy would cry in the forest all alone.
Naruto looked at her with sad blue eyes. Shadow almost felt guilty asking that question. Almost.
''No one wants me in the village. Everyone calls me a monster, a demon. They yell and throw stones or rotten food at me'' Naruto started to cry again.
By now Shadows eyes were wide in shock. She slowly sat down by the tree ''Come here Naruto'' she said softly.
Naruto timidly sat down next to her. Suddenly Shadow hugged him. Naruto was startled and he tried to get free from her grasp because he thought that she would hurt him.
Shadow noticed this and said in a calm, soothing voice ''Its all right Naruto, I wont hurt you. I'm not like them, I don't judge people by how they look or what they did in the past. You can trust me''
Naruto stopped struggling, he was shocked as what Shadow had said.
He started to cry again but only this time they were tiers of happiness and he hugged Shadow back. They staid like this for a while. After the long silence Shadow asked Naruto if he had a home, siblings or parents. Naruto, who stopped crying a while ago, shakes his head ''no''.
Shadow frowned but then an idea flashed through her head.
''Would you like to live with me? I live alone, my parents died a few years back and my home is in these woods so no one can call you those names again or throw things at you.''
Naruto again shocked looked at her. Shadow saw that he was shocked smiled ''Well, do you?''
Naruto blinked and smiled really big, tail wagging back and forth '' Sure, I would love that''
''Then come on! My house is a five minute walk from here'' Shadow said while dragging Naruto to his feet.
''Okey! Naruto happily said

5 minutes later

''Wow! Is this really your house?'' Naruto asked in surprise.
''Yeah, my parents built it before they passed away.'' Shadow said while looking at the old wooden house. '' There is also a garden behind it and a tree house too and somewhere near is also a waterfall.'''she said while smiling at Naruto who by now was beyond shocked.
''I'm really surprised. I thought it would be a cave but its a real house and a garden! No offense'' said Naruto while looking at the house.
Shadow warmly smiled at him ''None taken. Come on, you haven't seen the inside of the house, yet. Then I'll show you the garden''
''Okey'' Naruto said excited
When Shadow opened the door Naruto could already see the kitchen. It was fairly big. There was a big table with 6 chairs ( three on each side) and another table where you could prepare food. Also there are two fireplaces. Guess one is for food preparation and the second one is for the whole house: Naruto thought that.
In the living place was a big, white, old piano, more in the middle was a big couch and some chairs that looked really soft. Near the window was a big book –shelf.
On the second floor there were only three bedrooms. One with the big black door was Shadows room. There were two white donors but one was greyish color.
''Your room will be this one'' as Shadow said that she opened the white door.

Naruto's POV.

As she opened the door I could see a balcony with some flowers on it. I went inside and I saw a king sized bed with white and dark grey sheets, on the other side of the room there was a table and on the table were some candles, then there was another book-shelf but not as big as the one in the living-room.
''Sorry, this house doesn't have electricity so we don't have light bulbs, TV or other electrical things'' Shadow said a bit sad.
''It's okay, I don't mind it at all'' I said with a smile on my face, Shadow smiled a little too. She went to the window and opened the grey curtains and we saw that it was getting dark quite fast.
Shadow turned to me and said '' Come with me to the kitchen. I have some stew left for you to eat, well, that is if you want too...''
''Okey, I am quite hungry'' when I finished the sentence my stomach gave a loud growl, at that I blushed a bit, Shadow only laughed
''It's not funny'' I said still blushing.
''Okey, okey. Come on'' she took my hand and lead me to the kitchen.
Shadows stew was delicious! I have never tasted anything like this before!
''Your stew is delicious! '' as I said that Shadow blushed
''Thanks'' she said.
''Tomorrow i can make ramen, but not the kind that the villagers sell'' I didn't hear the rest that followed after the word ramen.
''You'll make ramen? Really?''
'Yeah, why do you ask?''
''I love ramen, its my favorite food in the whole wide world!'' she just blinked two times and started laughing. Thou I didn't understand why.
''Don't get your hopes up kit, I'm not going to make ramen all the time'' she said and stuck her tongue out.
''Aw, why not?'' I asked teary eyed.
''Ramen isn't good for you but you can eat it sometimes'' she scolded me.
''Fine'' I said sadly.
She just ruffled my hair ''When your done eating you can go to your room to get comfortable. If you need anything I'll be here for a while.''
''Okey'' when i said that I started to eat.
After a while I was done eating, I put the dish in the sink and went up-stairs. I looked around a bit and then I walked out to the balcony. It was a summer night. The wind was blowing and it felt so refreshing.
After some time I heard the door open. I looked behind me and saw Shadow walking in with some warm drinks in her hands.
''Come here, kit, I have some rose tea and I need to talk to you about something'' she said that with a small smile. I'm getting a bit nervous now, I don't know what will she say.
I closed the balcony door and went to sit down on the bed where Shadow already was sitting. She gave me the cup with the rose tea, it smelt wonderful and it tasted really good.
''So, how is it?'' she asked, I looked at her and then at the cup.
I smiled ''It tastes really good''.
''Well that's good to hear, its from my own rose garden, I'll show the garden to you tomorrow, okay?'' she said smiling.
''Okey, but what did you want to talk about?'' I asked a little bit nervous.
''Oh about that... I wanted to talk to you about school and some other things that you will need to learn'' she said while looking at her own cup. I stayed quiet looking at her.
''I'll home- school you but you will have to go to high school, okey? And don't worry about the clothes, tomorrow we will go out into the village and by you some new clothes.'' when she was done talking she looked at me.
'' Ok, I'll go to high school, I don't have any choice because I live with you'' I smiled a bit at her and she smiled back but then frowned.
''Some nights I'll have to leave you alone in the house because I work in a cafe, I'll be home at lunch-time, will you be okay all alone?'' she asked a little worried.
''I'll be fine, I'm used to being all alone so it wont be the first time'' I said smiling sadly.
Suddenly she hugged me '' I'm sorry, I don't want to leave you all alone kit, but we will need the money'' she said it all in a tone that almost made me cry again.
''It's alright Shadow and, um, can I call you onee-chan insisted of your name?'' I asked her shyly.
She looked at me then blinked once, twice and then she smiled a really big smile ''I would love that kit!'' and then she hugged me even tighter, good thing that I put my tea cup down on the floor before she hugged me.
Suddenly she let go of me, stood up and picked up the tea cups '' Well you should get a good night sleep, you have a long day tomorrow'' onee-chan smiled.
''What we will be doing tomorrow onee-chan?'' it was a bit weird calling her that but I'll get used to it.
''Well, I'll show you my, now our, garden then we will look for the damn tree house and then I'll home-school you.''
''Why do we need to find the tree house?'' I was confused.
''Well, I have never seen the tree house and the only thing I know is that it is near this house, but where I have no clue.'' She shrugged and I sweat-dropped.
''Okey, if you say so. Then good night onee-chan''
''Good night kit, and don't let the bed bugs bite'' she kissed my forehead and smirked while I blushed.
And with that she went out of my bedroom. I undressed but i kept my boxers on, got under the covers and closed my eyes. And soon sleep took over me.

Next morning.

When I woke up it was eight or nine in the morning. *I don't usually wake up this early in the morning* I got out of bed, quickly got dressed and went downstairs to the kitchen living room.
When I went down I didn't see onee-chan in the kitchen *I guess she's in the living room*
And there she was, sleeping on the big couch with a book in hand. I smiled at her. *She looks peaceful while sleeping* I went over to her and tried to wake her up.
'' Rise and shine onee-chan'' I poked her arm a bit, she only stirred a bit and mumbled something and went back to sleep. I sighed, how do I wake her up... Suddenly my stomach growled a bit, then a thought hit me and I smirked. I inhaled some air and yelled
'' GET UP SHADOW, IT'S MORNING ALREADY AND I'M STARVING HERE!''
Shadow's ears perked and she jumped out of the couch and on to the floor '' Ow, ow, ow'' she said while rubbing her back side. I just started laughing at her.
''You didn't have to yell kit'' she said while glaring at me the fur on her tail standing up
''Sorry, I tried to wake you up but it didn't work'' I said while giggling a bit.
She sighed, yawned and stood up.
''How long have you've been up?''
''I've been up since sunrise, why do you ask?''
''You've been up that long!?'' I asked in shocked
''Yeah. I needed to do some stuff in the garden and around the house too.'' She explained.
I just stared at her until my stomach started to growl. I blushed and she just laughed.
''Come to the kitchen, I'll make us some pancakes and yes really'' she said smiling
She took out the pancake batter and put a pan on the fireplace.
''When did you make the pancake batter? ''
''Um, about an hour ago''
We sat in silence. I was looking around until the old piano caught my eyes. I really wanted to try playing it but I didn't know if I could *just ask Shadow, she won't yell at you or anything* my mind told me. *Sigh, guess it's worth a shot…*
''Hey, onee-chan? Do you know how to play the piano?'' I asked shyly
''Yeah, I know how to play some songs and melody's. Why do you ask?''
''Well... I wanted to try playing it and I would love to hear you play the piano'' I told her quietly while looking at the ground, ears flat on my head.
''Sure, I can help you learn how to play it and I'll play you some sweet melody's later today, okay?'' she said while still cooking. My ears peaked at that
''Thank you Shadow!'' I smiled a really big smile. I could see that she was smiling too.
''Here you go!'' onee-chan put a plate of pancakes on the table and on the side maple syrup.
We both said 'Thanks for the meal' and started eating in silence. After we were done eating we washed up.
''Okay, are you ready to go outside kit?
''Sure, I can't wait to see your garden!'' I was so excited that my tail was wagging back and forth at the speed of light (not really that fast). She just laughed and we went outside.
