I just want to that the five who left the reviews. It really help me, when I know people like reading my work. Though I know I still need a bit more practice. Anyway on with the story.
Ears pinned against the fox's skull and five of his nine tails where in between his legs. Why you may wonder? Well Naruto is scary when he needs to be. And the fox got the full force of it too. And one could tell he's very frightened by his Jinchuuriki right now, since he did back himself into a corner. One thing was for sure that the fox knew, Naruto can be just as scary as Kushina.
"R-right. I got it. Don't leave the house and make sure the kids eat dinner around five."
The Bijuu's voice came out shaky and almost a whimper. But one couldn't blame the beast. Naruto did threaten to let his wife use the Gentle Fist on him if anything happen to his kids or if Kurama broke any major rules. Like not going outside. And if the thought of the Gentle Fist didn't scare the beast, than Saskue's Sharingan and Rinnegan would do the trick. Kurama could even feel the almost killer instinct in Naruto as he warned him.
"Good. Now we'll be back around ten, so make sure the kids are in bed be nine."
As Naruto said this, Kurama only nodded. He knew Naruto was just being a dad, but Kurama was scared because of how scary Naruto can get. The fox never thought in his life he'd find someone scarier than Kushina. But, he had. And it was the child of said woman.
Once Naruto and his wife left, Kurama started to walk out from the corner he had backed himself into. Just as scary as his mother was Kurama's thought, Indeed the fox was scared by his Jinchuuriki. But now he has two brats to look after and Kurama has a feeling that he'll be wishing Naruto didn't ask him.
So now Kurama lays on the floor with the two kids sitting on the couch, once introduction was over and Naruto praying Himawari off him. She said something about his fur being soft and she didn't want to let go. The two were bored and so was Kurama and the TV seems to keep the kids entertained, but not the fox. Though Kurama wasn't going to complain, the two were quiet, so he hoped to get a quick nap in. And by a quick nap his means closing his eyes for five minutes, then opening them and stopping the bickering from the two about what show to watch. Kurama looked at the clock, it was only 10:20 in the morning.
"Hey Kurama? How did Dad get you to watch us anyway?"
The boy, Boruto asks. The fox lifts his head and sighs. He saw this coming the moment Naruto ask him to babysit and he had prepared himself. Though, if Kurama had it his way, he couldn't tell the boy. But, from observing through Naruto one very bored days, Kurama knows how smart Boruto is. So, if Kurama refused, the boy could do a play on words and get it out of him.
"Your dad need someone to babysit and all other options were out. So, I was the only one he could think of at the time. He woke me up from my nap too."
The two kids were listening. Boruto was leaning forward for his position on the couch, feet planted on the floor. Himawari was leaning over the side of the armrest since she was closest to were Kurama as laying. Boruto raised an eyebrow. It seemed he was thinking, since he placed his hand under his chin and the other on his elbow. A normal thinking position humans use. Kurama used it a few times too. Himawari turned to look at her brother wondering.
"But I thought Dad couldn't let you out?"
Kurama knew this question was coming too. And he didn't really know how to explain this to the kids. Should he tell them or should he lie? Kurama didn't know if he should tell them about the new Jutsu their father found. He wanted too, but Kurama knew the two kids were young. They may not understand if I tell them, was Kurama's thought. So, will it's something he doesn't like doing, Kurama will have to lie to the little ones.
"He's always been able to let me out. Though, there's a small chain that keeps us connected."
'Oh' was Boruto's response. He seemed to believe the little lie and Himawari seemed to believe it too. So, with this out of the way, Kurama lay his head back onto his paws. The two returned to watching TV and some time had passed. There was a strange growl like noise. The fox lifted his head up and looked at the kids.
"Hungry?"
The two nodded. Kurama looked at the clock and it read 1:20 in the afternoon. Definitely lunchtime. Slowly lifting himself up, Kurama titled his head. A signal to tell the two to follow him. The two got up and followed him to the kitchen. Kurama walked into the kitchen and wondered what there was for Boruto and Himawari to eat.
"Alright. What do you two want?"
Kurama asked as he turned to the two little kids. Only to not find them behind him. He looked around the kitchen and found Himawari looking in the refrigerator and….Boruto on the counter. He was looking in the cupboards, but why did he need to be on the counter? And it's also unsanitary to have your feet on the counter. So, wrapping a tail around the boy's waist, Kurama pulled the boy off the counter and back onto the floor. Of course, the boy would've landed on his feet, if he didn't struggle that is. Now Kurama and Boruto were sprawled out on the floor.
"I would've placed you on your feet, if you didn't struggle, ya know."
The fox grumbled as he lifted himself up into a sitting position. At least the boy's fall was cushioned by Kurama's tails. The boy murmured something the fox didn't catch, but he didn't really care. Kurama looked at the cupboard the boy had opened. All he was boxes. But, he did see four boxes of brownie mix. Why did these boxes catch the fox's eye? Well, Kurama secretly loves anything with chocolate in it. And Kurama hasn't had chocolate in a long time.
"Can't find anything to eat."
It was Himawari's voice. Kurama turned to the open refrigerator and looked inside. He saw milk, a pitcher of water, some coffee creamer, and some other things. He noticed in one of the bottom crispers there was full of veggies. Kurama remembered that he was able to make stir fry. He was able to make a different dishes with stir fry, since he read about some when Naruto bought a cookbook. Why did Naruto buy a cookbook? Well he wanted to try different dishes, since at the time he was living alone and young, he thought a cookbook would help. Yeah, Naruto in the end stayed with roman, since he either burned or didn't like the dish. So, Kurama read the book in the spare time when Naruto was sleeping.
"I can make a veggie stir fry…...or…."
As Kurama was talking, he looked from the refrigerator to the still open cupboard. Boruto seemed to take a minute to get what Kurama was thinking of. And he oh so liked the idea. The boy jumped back onto the counter again, much to Kurama's dismay and pulled the box of brownie mix out. The boy had a big smile and waved the box about.
"You looking at this?"
The question didn't really need to be ask honestly. Kurama was so close to taking the box from Boruto and start eating the powdered mix right then and there. He hasn't had any kind of chocolate and he was a bit desperate for some. But, one would normally think that Kurama shouldn't eat something like chocolate, since many animals would get sick from eating it. And Kurama was a fox, so wouldn't he become ill? Well, Kurama was also a Bijuu. So, it's possible that his body is just more resilient. Kurama, also never remembered himself getting sick off chocolate before.
"Don't you dare tease me, boy. I'll take that from you and it'll be gone before you even comprehend what happened."
Indeed Kurama was in need of chocolate. He really wanted chocolate and he wanted it now! Boruto blinked, then chuckled. He now knows that Kurama likes or even loves chocolate. And he'll use this, if he needs to. Himawari didn't know what was going on, but the box of brownie mix had her attention.
"Can we? Can we?"
The little girl seemed to very excited to make brownies. And Kurama was in the same boat too, but he didn't show it. And well, Boruto didn't find anything good he wanted to eat. And he didn't want a veggie stir fry either. So, from what he could see, it'll be brownies. And he was more than happy to help.
After getting the materials out, like a bowel, eggs, oil, and beaters. A rolling pin had fallen on the floor, but the three didn't notice it. Kurama was more happy that he'll be getting something that's chocolatey. And Boruto decided to add some chocolate chips into the batter. This made all three of them giddy. It was now time to put the batter into the glass rectangular pan, but the two kids starting fighting on who should pour the batter in. angry words of 'I'm doing it!', 'No! Me!' and 'I said I'm doing it.' Kurama sighed as the two bickered. These two reminded him of his siblings, when they were young.
"Hey! Knock it off you two. Or I'll-"
The fox didn't finish. He had stepped on the rolling pin and the movement of walking forward caused the pin to roll. This caused Kurama to fall forward. Now that wouldn't have been too bad, something the Bijuu could've easily shaken off. But, Kurama body had fell forward to much and his tails flew over his head. This in turn cause his tails to fan out and accidentally hit the two kids. And because of this, as the two children fell back, the bowl of raw batter mix was tossed into the air.
Kurama quickly drew his tails back behind him. He knows that the kids were possibly injured and that he, himself had a sore snort from landing on it. But, he didn't know that the bowel was in the air and it had turn. And this unfortunately had made the contents of the bowel fall out and onto a brightly orange-red colored fox. Kurama's bright fur was now covered in a dark brown thick mix of batter. The batter had landed on the Bijuu's back, head with the bowel on too, and unfortunately for the beast, his tails. A gasp told the fox that he wasn't going to like what he would see in a few minutes.
