Recap: ''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.
Shadow's POV
He looks at his feet and I understood what he wanted to tell me.
''Here, you can have my shoes'' I smiled and gave him the shoes who were two sizes to big.
''But what about you? Your feet will be cold!'' he said a little bit nervous. I smiled and patted his golden hair.
''I'll be fine. I found these a couple months ago, so I'm used to walking bare-footed'' Naruto looked like he was debating to-take-them-or-not. I sighed.
''Take them, don't be shy, kit.'' Naruto blushed but he took the shoes and we went outside.
When we were outside I could clearly see that the kit was shocked and amazed at the same time, I almost laughed at expression. Well, I admit the garden was amazing and really big (when I say big then I mean it). In my, now our, garden were many flowers – roses, tulips, orchids – and a place were you can grow crops.
In the garden were two big oak trees and behind one was a secret garden which I'll show the kit latter. Then there also was a Sakura tree, I really like that tree when it blooms. In the middle of the garden was a medium sized pond with lotoss flowers and some fish.
We walked around the garden and I was telling Naruto about it, how I got those flowers and how I keep them beautiful, but I could see that he saw the secret garden and he was really in interested in it.
''So, what do you think? Do you like the garden?'' I asked him at the end of our tour.
''Yeah! It's really big, peaceful, beautiful and amazing!'' he was jumping up and down while proving his point ''But whats that behind that oak tree?'' he stopped jumping and tilted his head in question. *cute* I thought.
''Behind the oak is my special or secret garden with only one flower type there. Do you want to see them?'' I asked knowing the answer already.
''Yes, please!'' he wagged his tail.
''Then lets go!''
When we got to the secret part of the garden the kits mouth was wide, almost touching the ground, and this time I laughed. It was too hilarious! When I was done laughing I asked him if he liked the roses. He just nodded his head still too amazed by them.
''Hey, kit, say something! Don't be a zombie now, they're only roses'' I said still chuckling at his reaction.
''Only roses,'' he asked '' they are all BLACK! HOW CAN THEY BE ONLY ROSES!'' he yelled at me. I just blinked.
''Well they are only roses just black and that's all.'' I shrugged
''Your weird, no offense.'' He said it with a poker face
''Say something I don't know and no offense taken.'' I replied with a smirk. He ignored my statement but asked me something that put me of-guard.
''How did you grow them so beautiful?''
''Oh, um,'' as I said, it put me of guard, '' well, It began about 6 years ago…''
As I was telling him how I got the black roses and how I keep them healthy and alive, black roses are hard to grow, he was looking at them and touching them like they were made of glass. When I was done with my little story, he turned to me.
''I want to help you in the garden, I want to help you look after the flowers and crops! Think of it as my payment for staying here!'' he said it with determination in his ocean blue eyes, how could I say no to that?!
''Sure! You can help me, I'll show you how to take care of them properly!'' he smiled the biggest smile I've seen so far, his tail wagging happily.
''Okey, that's settled now, how about we go and look for that (damn) tree-house?'' I asked a little irritated, ears twitching, because I have looked for that damn thing for about 2 years and I still haven't found it, but maybe the kit will have a better luck then me.
Naruto nodded and we went into the forest to look for it.
After 15 minutes we, well, the kit, found the stupid tree-house. It was built in a really old oak tree about 10 meters from the garden. The tree-house was painted in forest or leaf green. Camouflage. Really smart. Then I saw that there weren't any ladders to climb up. I growled in annoyance, I hate climbing, why? Lets just say I have bad experience with climbing trees.
''Do we really need to climb up the tree to get to that tree-house?'' I asked the kit as he was looking for a way up.
''Well, I can't find anything that would help us to climb up…'' he said still looking around the tree.
Oh, how I hate this situation! My tail started to twitch slightly in irritation *But do I really need the damn thing?* I asked in my mind, *Hm… That gives me an idea*
''Hey, kit!'' I half shouted, half said because he already started to climb and he already was half way there, *He's a fast climber* ''you can have the tree-house, I don't need it! It's yours now!'' when I looked at him, I only saw his smile then…nothing! It's like he disappeared! *Oh well, I'll just wait for him here.* I sighed and sat down, my back against the tree.
Naruto's POV
Shadow is so kind to me! I just can't believe she gave me the tree-house!
Once I got to the tree-houses door I opened it. The inside was simple. There was table with three chairs a book self with some books (Wow), two windows and a rug. *Who places a rug in a tree-house?!* I went to the book shelf to see what kind of books there were. I picked up a book that was covered in a thick lair of dust. I opened a window and cleaned it. *Guess I'll have to clean the whole tree-house.* The book I picked up was about plant species. Then that means that the rest of the books are about plants and/or animals. With 'cleaning the tree-house tomorrow' in mind I climbed back down to only find onee-chan taking a nap. *How long was I up there?*
Suddenly her white fluffy ears started to twitch a bit. Guess onee-chan started to stir, guess she could sense my presence, wolves are good at those things.
''Hey kit!'' she says yawing ''Do you like that tree-house?''
''The tree-house is great but it's a bit dusty, so I'll need to clean it tomorrow, and will you give me some cleaning supplies?'' I asked shifting from one foot to the other
''Okey, but remind me, most likely I'll forget about it…'' she scratches her head in nervousness. I nodded.
''So…'' onee-chan started to talk ''are you ready to go to the village to buy some clothes?''
Oh, how I dreaded that question! I shifted nervously ''Well, not really…I don't want to be a practice target to the villagers!''
I saw her look softening and I also saw an emotion I couldn't recognize.
''Don't worry, kit, nobody will hurt you as long as I'm with you'' she said with a smile '' and wolves are known to be deadly and unpredictable.'' Her smile this time was evil and it sent chills down my spine. Somehow I felt safe around her but still I was a bit uneasy about going to the village. Still I nodded and we went to the hell-hole village called Konoha.
