AN: I just want to clarify that Naruto is sixteen while Blythe is currently fifteen going on sixteen at the beginning of season 2.

Chapter 2

Feeding Naruto was a bit complicated as it turned out, he was so use to eating human food and refused to eat kibble much to her ire. The golden fox would drink water without argument but found it rather demeaning to drink it out of a bowl. So Blythe and Naruto would come to an agreement. "Alight, fifty percent kibble and the other fifty percent will be ramen?" Blythe said sounding rather confused. What kind of animal ate ramen?

"Good, we've come to a mutual understanding." Naruto said still sitting in a chair. Around his neck was an orange and black collar that had his name on it. "Now if you'll excuse me." He hoped down. "I need to go to the bathroom." He was indeed headed to the bathroom. Indeed Naruto knew how to use the toilet unlike other animals, he still had yet to tell Blythe that he'd once been human. Watching the small fox leave the room, Blythe sighed as she began to pack her bag. Being late to school wasn't part of her agenda, Naruto would be home alone. One would think that she would keep him in Littlest Pet Shop while she was away, but as she learned rather quickly Naruto was stubborn and the thought of being around other pets didn't appease to him at all. So in the house he would stay. The sound of the sink running for a few moments then going off signified that Naruto was done. Using the toilet and washing his hands like a human, Naruto was very strange and very smart.

'I wonder what he'd look good in?' Blythe wondered as she got up and headed to the door. "Naruto, I'm heading out!"

"Bye!" the fox said. The door closed and he was alone once again. "Now what to do." He stretched a bit before closing his eyes, he could feel it faintly but it was still growing at a slow rate; his chakra. Hopping onto the bed, he looked to the dun waiter that led down to that pet store where Blythe worked. "I could—nope." He quickly rejected the idea of even setting foot into that place. "Then again going down there could sate my boredom if only for a little while." He pondered. Maybe when Blythe came home, the he would consider it. "It's not like—" he paused and began to sniff the air, that smell was familiar in a way. Running into the kitchen he saw nothing. Nothing in any of the other rooms either. "What is that smell and where's it coming from?" sniffing the front door he found that it wasn't coming from there. Backing up he did a quick turn only to see nothing, the smell suddenly faded until there was no trace of it. "Whatever it was, it was way too familiar." His tail twitched in agitation as he went back to Blythe's room to look out the window. This place was unlike anything he'd ever seen, it was so technologically evolved. The people below looked so busy as they walked the sidewalk and went about their day. Most of them had what Blythe called 'cellphones' in their hands. Then there were cars. "I wonder what it's like to ride one of those? How would it feel to drive one?!" he was giddy at the very thought, but then he looked at his paws. "Oh right, I don't have hands anymore and I'm not even a foot tall." He flopped backwards as thoughts raced through his head about his position in all of this. "I have no idea how to get back and I suck at using seals, not to mention I don't have the chakra to even summon a tadpole." Needless to say he felt some form of shame. "And I've got nothing to do, just great." His gaze went to the dumbwaiter that led down to the Pet shop. "I hate being alone."

"Well you aren't alone anymore!" this female voice wasn't familiar and immediately, Naruto jumped up. Looking around he saw no one. "Down here." Looking over the side of the bed he saw the intruder. A female dog about his size, her eyes were an ice-blue color, her fur was a lilac color with lighter purple markings along her face, eyelids, and chest. Her ears are a violet-purple color that resembled her hair that matched a spiked tuft of bangs she had that bore a single streak of pink. But it was the black beret and diamond studded gold collar that seemed to stand out more. She suddenly jumped onto the bed and for a minute, Naruto considered simply pushing her off but she was the only other person in the home that he could talk too. He couldn't afford to be picky. "You must be Naruto, Blythe's pet—I mean friend, I'm Zoe Trent." She greeted. Blythe had said that Naruto didn't like being called a pet as the title felt more degrading than he'd like. "And I must say that I had my doubts but Blythe was telling the truth." She was now circling him. "You truly are golden!" she now had a wide grin. "And your ears truly do look like they're combined with a rabbits, so cute." Naruto gave her a curious look. Did his ears stand out like that?

"Um, thanks I guess." He said. "So how did you get in here and why are you here, the Pet Shop is downstairs." The situation at hand was a surprise and not exactly a safe one at that.

"Well let's say hypothetically I urged Blythe to leave the door slightly open so I could get in here, and let's say hypothetically Blythe didn't want you to be alone at home again because she's worried about you; this is all hypothetical mind you." she laughed.

"Somehow I knew that I should've seen something like this coming, but why you and not someone else?" he questioned.

"Simple, I came up with the idea and I wanted to meet you personally before everyone else; after all you are Blythe's friend and she talks about you a lot." Zoe explained. "Everyone's been dying to meet you." the gold fox wasn't really surprised to hear this with how much Blythe talked about the pets and how much he should meet them. "She also told how she found you badly injured in a dumpster and took you in without hesitation."

"Yeah, she's a good person Blythe Baxter." Naruto smiled. "I'm glad she found me."

"She's glad she found as well, but I have a question; what's your breed?"

"I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours." He said giving her a smirk that made her chuckle a bit.

"Alright, I'm a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, now then let's hear yours." Naruto couldn't help but smirk.

"I don't actually know what my breed is."

"W-What, how's that possible?"

"I've yet to actually find time to search the internet for some kind of hint as to what I am, but it's never mattered much to me."

"Well do you at least know what kind of foxes your parents were?"

"Parents?" the very mention of that word should've brought up some memories, but they were fuzzy and distorted until he could only say something that shocked Zoe. "I've been alone my entire life as a…orphan without anyone to care about me." Something inside of him began to crack. "Alone in the crushing dark." His breathing hastened and faster Zoe could follow, Naruto was under the bed in less than a second. For a few moments the fashion loving dog couldn't believe how fast the fox was or what had just happened. Nervously she hopped down upon hearing what sounded like crying, looking under the bed she saw that Naruto was sobbing.

'Oh no.' she silently said now internally panicking. 'Was it is my asking about his parents, it must've been since he just said that he was an orphan without anyone who cared about him.' how was she supposed to know about this, Blythe didn't say anything about this. 'Could it be that she doesn't know?' if so then it was just her here to deal with now sad fox. Peeking under the bed she took a breath 'Alright, you made this mess and you have to fix It.' steeling herself she slowly approached Naruto with as much subtly as she could. He either couldn't see that she was there or he simply chose to ignore her. "Naruto?" he didn't answer, moving around so that she could see his face, Zoe found herself in a bind; she didn't know what to do. "It—It's alright." She brushed against his fur. "You aren't alone." Pulling him into her arms she did what she could to let him know that she was here with him; she could feel him nuzzling against her chest. The tears that had once flowed down his face now ceased to flow, and yet Zoe didn't let go as she unconsciously allowed herself to lay fur to fur with the gold fox. 'This feels kind of nice.' Curled together they were as they allowed themselves to take what they would consider a nap.

Hours later the two awoke at the same time. With a yawn they came from under the bed rather awkwardly; this didn't look good at all. The two of them were under that bed alone for god knows how many hours, but they hadn't done anything. "That was a nice nap." Naruto said while stretching.

"Y-Yes it was." Zoe said with a blush. "But we have to keep this between the two of us, you know, don't want the other to find out and let their imagination run…wild." Her blush increased as she watched Naruto stretch, she just couldn't pull her eyes away. Why was he so attractive, he'd just been crying a couple hours ago and now here he was acting as if nothing happened?

"It's strange, the last thing I remember was you asking about something called parents." Naruto before looking to her.

'Please not again!' she silently exclaimed.

"What are parents?" he asked with confusion. Zoe gave him a questioning look; did he just lose him memory?

'Maybe it's for the best?' she thought, but not truly able to comprehend the situation at hand. The rest of the time until Blythe came home, the two would simply talk about things such as Zoe's love of fashion and being in the spot light, to Naruto's actions that led Blythe to talk about how he acted human in different ways. The door opened revealing Blythe who just come from school.

"Blythe!" faster than the girl could react, Naruto had wrapped his arms around her, licking her face as he did so. The teen didn't take Naruto for the licking type; he must've really missed her. Blythe smiled as her gaze went to Zoe who was nervously smiling as her eyes darted around. Something happened but she would find out later, for now she would need to get Zoe back into the Pet Shop without Ms. Twombly noticing. She'd have to ask Zoe about how things went with Naruto; she had a feeling that things went extremely well.

? – Nighttime

This world was strange and adding what happened to them only made things stranger, the Tailed Beasts were gone in a way. They'd become the Tailed Beast that they'd held, and while the eight of them chose to stick together; there was a problem. Naruto was missing and had been since they arrived in this world, but earlier today they'd felt the blonde through some kind of connection that they all had with each other. The affect was strange to say the least. Tears had streamed down their faces for no reason, but in their minds they could hear Naruto's sobs and feel his sadness. "Even after that, we still don't know what happened or where Naruto is." Yagura stated. "All we know is that he was crying and that was it." he grimaced.

"I know Naruto well enough to know that he'll either find us by accident or vice versa, patience is key here; for now we need to get acquainted with this world and how it works." Gaara said. "There are no shinobi here so we don't have to be worried about being hunted down unless one of us starts destroying cities or something." They all nodded. "Also" Gaara's single Tanuki-like tail waved behind him as the ears popped up from his head. "let's stay in our complete human forms unless we need to half transform." They could only hope that Naruto had the sense to follow the same rules. 'I pray that the cost for this wasn't too big for you, we all paid a price.' He looked to the window and into the sky. 'What did this take from you?' he sighed and went to his bed. Tomorrow was a new day.

Chapter 2 End
