"Kyuu-nii, are you okay?" asked Naruto sitting down next to Kyuubi as they entered their rooms after leaving the Uchiha brothers. Kyuubi looked at his little brother.
"I'm fine, it's just Itachi. He's the first person to actually do that to me, without me putting them in the hospital," sighed Kyuubi, putting his head down on the table.
"Oh. If it makes you feel any better, when I was sitting in Sasuke's lap I felt something weird in my stomach," said Naruto blushing cutely.
"Butterflies?" asked Kyuubi. Naruto nodded before putting his own head on the table, and that is how Mizuki found them. She came in wearing a yukata she found in her closet.
"Hey guys where did—whats the matter with the two of you?" she asked.
"Uchiha Itachi."
"Uchiha Sasuke."
"What?! Why?" She sat down.
"I didn't punch his lights out."
"I felt butterflies in my tummy." She looked at Naruto before glomping him.
"Aww you're so cute! You still say tummy? That's so cutttteeeeee!" She said giggling while he blushed before pushing her off of him.
"I am not cute."
"Whatever you say Naru. Look the two of you are just shocked," she said letting go of him before sitting down in her seat again. "Or, they could be your mates."
"No way is that ass my mate," said Kyuubi glaring up at her.
"I may feel butterflies for that Teme, but he's not my mate!" said Naruto pouting instead of glaring at her. She just so wanted to pinch his cheeks right now.
"Did you know that denial is more than a river in Egypt?" she said looking at the two of them.
"Their not!" the two grounded out together.
"Okay fine, then maybe it because you probably never met anybody like these two. Just see what happens tomorrow." They nodded. Naruto yawned and stretched like a cat. "Aww is the little kitsune sleepy?" asked Mizuki. Naruto nodded laying down and putting his head in her lap.
"You're sleeping a lot Naru-chan. You took a morning nap, a nap on Sasuke, and now again?" said Kyuubi exasperated. Naruto mumbled as he fell asleep.
"He is?" a nod from the red head. "Must be stress, or it could be that," she said absently. Kyuubi shook his head.
"It shouldn't be, that isn't for another couple years," said Kyuubi furrowing his brow.
"No, no, it could be possible, I mean it was early for you, and most certainly was early for me, why wouldn't Naruto have it early either?" she asked patting Naruto's head.
"I don't want it to happen early for him, it's too painful when you're young and Naruto…"
"Trust me I wouldn't want it to happen early for him either, but if it's going to happen I'm glad we're here to help him with it," she said smiling gently at him.
"Yea, unlike us. Mom and Dad weren't home, you were out because of Mom, and Naruto was sleeping, too young to help even if he was awake," said Kyuubi softly. Mizuki nodded.
"For me I was still recovering from the last beating and everyone was out, enjoying the beach," she said with tears in her eyes. Kyuubi frowned before sitting down to hug her.
"I'm sorry we, I, didn't catch it earlier, but why didn't you say anything," he asked her, as they looked down at Naruto.
"I wanted to, and even tried to, but I couldn't. I didn't want to any of you to be sad, or pity me, so I just left." They didn't say anything for a while and just watched Naruto sleep. There was a knock on the door.
"Kyuubi-sama, Naru-chan, may I come in?" asked Sakura from the front desk. Kyuubi stood up and opened the door for her. She nodded, walking in, but stopped when she saw the girl that Kyuubi had claimed to be his sister petting a sleeping Naruto. She cooed before sitting down across from her. Kyuubi sat down in his original seat and turned to her.
"What is it Sakura?" he asked.
"Well, you know how you said we would only be having your sister and her bosses here we should treat them to a welcome shindig?" she started off. Kyuubi nodded, and ignored the curious look from Mizuki. "Well Ino and I were reading through one of our magazines and saw the perfect thing. The beach! It's only a few miles away too!"
"The beach? That's not a bad idea."
"Of course it isn't!" said Sakura smiling excitedly. Kyuubi looked at Mizuki she only looked back at him.
"For me I was still recovering from the last beating and everyone was out, enjoying the beach."
"Okay."
"Oh come on it's goi—wait, did you say okay?" asked Sakura.
"Yea." Sakura squealed before jumping out of her seat and to the door.
"I gotta go prepare, tomorrows fine right?" she asked. He nodded. "Awesome! I'm gonna go tell Ino! By—oh by the way, the two Uchiha brothers are a perfect ten. Ino and I give you and Naru-chan our blessing!" She quickly closed the door as a pillow went flying at her.
Mizuki laughed at the blushing/fuming kitsune she calls her brother waking up Naruto.
"What's going on?" asked Naruto stretching.
"Sakura just gave her blessing," said Mizuki giggling as Kyuubi huffed at sat back down glaring at her.
"Her blessing? Why?"
"Don't worry about it Naru-chan. By the way we're going to the beach tomorrow," said Kyuubi. Naruto's eyes widened before he jumped up in his seat.
"YATTA!" Mizuki nodded before looking down remembering why she came into the front room in the first place.
"Question."
"Answer," they replied in unison.
"Where did this Kimono come from?" she asked showing it off.
"Ahh, Ka-chan bought it for you. After you left, she told us everything, and she was depressed before one day she continued on with life as if you were still here. She bought you new clothes and changed your room design as you must have noticed. She said it was all in case you came back, if you ever came back," said Kyuubi.
"Oh. Well, I'm going to sleep, jet lag and everything, so good night," she said standing up. She kissed Kyuubi's cheek and Naruto's forehead before going into her room.
There's more to come!!
