Chapter 1: Games We Don't Want to Play

"You sleep here!" Naruto placed the ragged puppet down in the corner of his room next to the door. "The monster in the bathroom always comes in here at night." He leans down to the doll and whispers. "You can scare him away, ok?" Naruto smiled at his new found friend. He waved at the doll and walked out the door.

"Were do you think you're going?" Naruto stopped in the middle of the hallway. He heard that same voice at the antique shop. He ran back to his room and poked his head in. "H-hello?" He waited a few seconds but got no response. He looked at his new friend and smiled again and left. He smiled at the small brown dog laying in the hall way. "Hi Miso!" ((Miso is their dog...well duh!))

He made his way to the kitchen were his mother was making dinner, and his father was sitting at the table reading a book. "Hey there!" Minato said with a smile over his book. Naruto giggled. "Hi daddy!" He ran over and hugged his father around the waist tightly making the older blonde laugh. "What was that for?" Naruto snuggled his face into the mans stomach. "I just love you a lot."

Minato smiled and stroked his son's golden locks. "I love you too." Naruto released the man and tried his best to climb into the chair next to him. With a disappointed grunt he received help from his daddy. "Did you wash your hands?" His mother chimed in from the sink. "Uhmmmmm." He looked up at the ceiling with a pondering look. "Yes!" He said with a smile. "Are you sure?" Kushina asked; a serious look on her face. "No..." Naruto slid out of the chair and headed towards his mother.

The redhead lifted him up to sit on the edge of the sink. "It's not nice to fib." She said turning the water on and wetting a dish towel. "I know... Sorry mommy." Kushina wiped his hands and looked him in the face. "If I catch you in a fib again, I might just have to take your new toy away." She lifted him back to the ground. "Now get back in your chair, dinner's ready."

Naruto ran back to his chair and waited for his father to help him back in the chair. Kushina brought over a large bowl of some sort of salad and another smaller bowl of gooey stuff with black and yellow stuff in it. "Um, hun, what is that?" Minato asked as his wife sat on the opposite end of the table. "It's a secret recipe." She smiled, and picked up a large spoon, scooped a heaping portion of it, and settled it on his plate. She did the same for Naruto. "Ewww! It smells like chicken shit!" Naruto yelled covering his nose.

"Naruto!" Minato said behind a laugh. "Don't say that!" Kushina shot her husband a glare for laughing at their son's outburst. "Were did you hear that?" She asked Naruto. Naruto looked at his mother. "I heard you say uncle Kakashi smelled like chicken shit." Her eyes widened as Minato tried to hide his laughter. She rolled her eyes and rubbed her temples. "You shouldn't repeat everything you hear." Minato said. "Just because your mommy has a dirty mouth, doesn't mean you should too." Kushina threw another glare his way and started eating, trying to forget the whole ordeal.

After a few moments of silence Minato looked at his son. "Why isn't your new friend joining us?" Kushina grunted to get his attention. When he looked at her she shook her head signaling she didn't want him bringing that dirty think to the table. Plus, she was kind of scared of the little freaky thing. "He's upstairs sleeping." Naruto took a bite of his food and chuckled. "Well isn't he always asleep?" His eyes are painted shut. Naruto didn't respond.

Naruto made his way up to his room after dinner. He opened the door and looked in the corner. The puppet was gone. Maybe Miso took him. But how could he? The door was shut. He looked around his room for his friend but couldn't find him anywhere.

"Naruto." He heard that voice again. He couldn't tell were it was coming from. He heard a giggle from inside his closet. "M-Mr. Puppet? A-are you in there." Just when he finished his sentence he heard another giggle from behind him. He turned around but nothing was their. There was a large bang from inside the closet. "Mr. Puppet... I don't like this game."

Another bang came from inside the closet. Naruto jumped back, his eyes tearing up from the fear he was now feeling. He summoned his courage and moved closer to the closet door. He put his small hand on the door handle. He turned it slowly and pulled it open.

"Ahhhhhh!"
