Chapter 2 - Home Sweet Home.
As the Uchiha's luxury car pulled up in the driveway of the Uchiha manor, the small foxes named Naruto awoke his tiny blue eyes starting around filled with fright and distress. It clung tightly to Sasuke chest as its gaze saw the huge looming form of Giles sat next to it, Giles looked at the small foxes with large innocent eyes his mouth slightly a gape and his huge teeth slightly showing.
Naruto twitched and tried to pull away from the huge jaws, but Giles leaned forwards and opened his jaws slightly. His breath hit Naruto like a strong gust of wind and the smell that emitted from the dogs mouth was strangely sweet, like honey or sage. Naruto was back up as far as the car door would allow and ready for the dogs deadly bite, Giles sat and watched the fox with a puzzled look. He let his long wet tongue lick the fox pup happily and after several lick sat back and turned his attention to Sasuke.
Naruto's tiny blue eyes now focused on Sasuke, the stranger who had hold of him but his scent was so sweet and comforting the fox felt safe in his arms.
On the other side of Giles sat Itachi, he was busy petting the sleeping ferret named Sai as it rested on his knees. The older raven's hands gently stroke the extremely soft fur of the ferret and careful stroked the tiny head careful not to hurt the tiny creature, Itachi stopped his activity of stroking the ferret when he realised that the car had finally stopped.
Sai awoke at the loss of been stroke and climbed up onto the ravens shoulders and started to brush itself against the boys cheek, when it looked out of the window it caught sight of the manor. The Uchiha manor was huge having seven floors excluding the basement and attic, it had a large swimming pool and a huge garage along with its own massive garden that stretched out before the eye like a green sea. The Uchiha manor was only home to the four ravens and their pets, being that the rest of the Uchiha family had moved out and found homes of their own.
Naruto gazed out at the building as well, his eyes transfixed on the towering building. As Itachi opened the car door to climb out the sent of flowers filled the foxes nostrils, Naruto was unaware that Sasuke had picked him up until he felt the summers winds hit him, herd the thud as Sasuke closed the door behind him. Giles stood next to the small frame of Sasuke who was holding onto the clinging fox.
As Itachi and Fugaku walked into the manor Mikoto helped Sasuke with his burden, the moment Mikoto took the small fox the wailing started. Naruto was tiny but the noise made carried for miles, it was like a super sonic siren which burst ear drums. Mikoto immediately put the small fox back into Sasuke arms, the crying stopped. The tiny fox snuggling back into the small raven's chest, Giles by now had lost interest and wandered off to the garden to probably roll in something smelly and sticky.
"Don't you dare dig up my flowers again." Mikoto called after the dog as it bounded away.
Sasuke softly brushed his small hand along the foxes back earning a small cue of pleasure from Naruto, as Mikoto walked into the house with her son she just had time to catch a glance of Giles rolling around...Crushing all her lovely flowers.
Before she could say anything Sasuke dragged his mother inside and closed the door behind them, once the door was closed Sasuke saw that Itachi was standing with Sai on his shoulders. The doors leading off into the other rooms were closed and Fugaku stood at the bottom of the steps leading up to the second floor, Rayne was nowhere to be seen.
"Shall we put them down together; get them used to each other." Itachi said as he stroked the small form of Naruto in Sasuke arms. Naruto jumped slightly at the strangers touch but after a while started to enjoy the feeling of been stroked, then another hand joined in. Mikoto gently brushed the fox's coat of fur and let her fingers softly touch the fox's bushy tail, all this touching made the fox make small cueing noises.
Finally Itachi took Sai off his shoulder and placed the small timid ferret on the wooden floor by his feet, the small ferret wondered around a little before returning to Itachi's feet and brushing against the raven's legs. Then Sasuke gently lowered Naruto to the floor, at first the small fox was extremely scared and tried to climb the small boy's legs and back up into his arms but after a while curiosity took over the foxes senses. Sai sat and watched as Naruto approached him, the small ferret cocked its head and looked at the blond fox. Naruto nudged the ferret with his nose and scarped back to Sasuke feet, hiding behind them like a shield. When Naruto had deemed Sai not to be a danger he wondered off again and started to sniff at the doors, Sai did the same as the four humans watched with Mikoto constantly commenting on how cute they were. It was then that a scratching and barking at the front door indicated Giles wanted in, the two baby pets were picked up by their appointed holders as Mikoto opened the door.
Giles walked in and un-dog like wiped his feet on the mat before stepping forwards, Giles looked put at the two timed forms cowering in Sasuke and Itachi's arms. He sat at Mikoto feet and wagged his tail, this time when Sai and Naruto were put down they were less happy too move away from their masters feet. Finally Giles walked over to them size wise it would have been easy for Giles to simply crush them with a misplaced step however Giles was very careful and gentle around babies, when Fugaku had brought Rayne home Giles had been the one who looked after her all day whilst the two of them were home alone.
Naruto was the first to approach the huge towering form of Giles; he brushed himself against the dog's legs ducking under the dog's stomach to brush against the dogs other side. Sai joined in and climbed onto the dogs back and curled up on the mass of black fur and fell to sleep, Giles was unbothered by this and stood happily wagging his tail. Then suddenly a voice echoed around the room, and a small black form appeared at the top of the stairs. Yellow eyes glaring at the two new comers, especially at the blond mass of fur rubbing itself against Giles side.
"Why couldn't you have gotten a male cat...? Even another female cat would have been better than a ferret and a...Fox!" Rayne said she came down the stairs slowly in cat form; she stopped at the bottom to brush against Fugaku legs and pressed on too view the two newcomers in closer detail.
Naruto and Sai were unsure of this new creature and its malicious nature; it viewed them as unneeded distractions. Rayne always wanted to be centre of attention, with another two talking pets she felt her place as head pet was at stake...Even though Giles was technically 'Top-Dog' in the house.
"Ok why don't you two take Naruto and Sai up to your room and show them where their going to sleep." Fugaku said as he saw the tension building in the cat's yellows eyes.
As Itachi and Sasuke raced each other up the stairs to their room Mikoto went to the Kitchen to prepare dinner leaving Fugaku to his own activities, Giles and Rayne having nothing better to do and started to fight. Well Rayne started to constantly spit abusive comments at the dog, while Giles started to savagely lick the small cat with plenty of slobber.
Itachi and Sasuke had shared a room since Sasuke had been born; even now the pair was still happy sharing a room together even if Sasuke did like to mess up Itachi's things...Constantly. The room was split it two with a distinct difference between the two sides one was tidy and neat and the other was a bomb site. As they shut the door the two new baby pets were let lose in the room, Itachi sat at his desk and started on his homework leaving Sasuke to play with the two energetic pets. After about an hour of constantly playing Sai gave up playing and climbed onto Itachi's lap and fell asleep, leaving Sasuke and Naruto playing alone. By now the clock was nearly striking six and Mikoto called the boys for dinner, as the pair went down to dinner the two baby pets being carried down in the pairs arms. As the four entered the room the two pets saw a new face, Rayne sat at the table in human form and glared at them with her yellow eye.
As they sat to the table the two baby pets were placed on their laps and whenever they tried to climb onto the table they'd be pulled back onto the boy's laps, so finally they sat and climbed onto the floor and wondered around the kitchen. Giles was been served his food, the two baby pets looked rather revolted at the bowl of slush that Giles was chomping down on. A mix of horrid looking chinks of meat and fatty jelly filled the bowl along with a large bone shaped biscuit. Next to his bowl was a much prettier bowl with Rayne's name on it, this one was made of silver and shimmer and sparkled whereas Giles was simple tin and covered in dried food and fingerprints. As Mikoto made to place food in Rayne's dish the cat hissed.
"That's mine." Rayne hissed baring her fangs, she really didn't like sharing.
Giles had finished his food and was busy licking his dish out; Mikoto took it and rinsed it out before filling it with some more pleasant food for Naruto and Sai. The pair regarded this new food and after seeing it as fit for consumption the pair dug in, guzzle down the contains of the bowl. Soon with their bellies full they stopped and looked for something to drink, Giles been ever helpful finished the food in the bowl off. Then a second bowl was brought out, it was another tin bowl filled to the brim with clear water.
It had been intended for Giles but before the dog could get at the liquid the two babies leap on the bowl, within a few moments the entire bowl was empty. Giles sat and sniffed at the empty bowl a distressed look crossing his face, Rayne gave a small giggle as she watched the daft animal start to lick the water droplets out of the bottom of the bowl. After Giles had finished licking and finding that his thirst was still not sated he wondered over to Rayne, a large mug of coffee sat next to the girl. Before anyone had noticed Giles had his muzzle stuck in the mug and was happily gulping down the sweet milky liquid, he had his front paws on the table to allowing him to standing up on his back legs.
"Fucking Bastard!" Rayne screamed at the large dog, she scratched his back with her clawed hand. Giles thought he was been given a back scratch and proceeded to finish the last of the coffee off with one last gulp, when he finished he leap down and Rayne was sure he'd burped and that a smirk was crossing his muzzle.
Sasuke and Mikoto were giggling at this, Itachi was showing signs of wanting to laugh and Fugaku was stone faced an ever but inside he let a smile form. Mikoto glanced at the clock after the table was cleared and saw the time; it was school in the morning. She took the boys up to get ready for bed, the small baby pets been left down stairs with Giles and Fugaku, Rayne had slunk off to the back garden through an open window. The two tiny pets contemplated the pale skinned raven before them, he gave off a cold, dark aura and his eyes were ever glaring at them. The man put down a hand and stroked Sai gently, then offered a hand to the fox. Naruto was a bit more wary of the man and slunk back slightly, when the mans hand did finally stroke him Naruto stopped still and took pleasure in the gently contact. Giles was busy scratching his ears with his hind legs, it was a bizarre and yet hilarious view.
Not too long later Mikoto came down the stairs and called for the two new pets to come, Sai was obedient and raced over to the women Naruto hesitated. Suddenly Naruto was lifted into the air by the scruff of the neck, looking around the fox saw its assailant was Giles. The huge dog jaws hand snatched the lose skin around the foxes neck and picked him up, much like a mother fox would. Sai was jumped up onto the dogs back as Naruto was carried up the stairs by Giles, as the dog walked into the bedroom the two younger ravens were dressed in pyjamas and ready to go to bed. Sai immediately raced over to Itachi and climbed onto the ravens shoulder, Naruto was but down and he dazedly gazed around a little frightened. Sasuke came over and picked the baby fox up and carried him over to his bed, plunking him down on the mass of teddies and stuffed toys at the end of the bed. Giles sat at the door and waited for Mikoto to say goodnight and turn the light off before walking out, normally Giles would stay in the room and sleep by Sasuke bed. But now the raven had a new comfort companion.
Now he was free to go back to sleeping where he liked, he went down to the huge living room and leapt up onto the sofa. He rolled onto his back and rested until Mikoto and Fugaku went up to be with a slender cat following after them, Giles followed after. The master bedroom was huge and its bed was larger than a king sized bed, it could have fit at least seven people lying side by side. Although the bed was large the best place for a pet to sleep was the space between the two humans, in the warmth it offered. At this moment Rayne was occupying this space, Giles not bothered by this fact jumped up and with his jaws picked the cat up and throw her off the bed onto the hard floor. A cascade of muffled cursing came from the cat as she picked herself up off the floor and turned her yellow eye on the bed. When she climbed back up to she find her place had been taken by the huge black dog, she stuck her claws into the dogs behind with no effect...Giles had plenty of fur and fat to make sure the cats claws barely touched him.
Mikoto feeling the furry body next to her curled up with her head resting on the dogs back, her ear pressed to the dog listening to his heartbeat. She had used to listen to the dogs heartbeat to fall asleep as she was a small child, the steady beat was like a sleep inducing lullaby.
In their beds Sasuke and Itachi slept silently with only the sounds of their soft breaths making any noise, Sai was curled up on Itachi's pillow peacefully sleeping. Naruto had been sleeping in Sasuke pile of teddies, however the cold of the night had forced the creature too move closer too the nearest source of warmth this been Sasuke. The tiny fox curled up on the raven's chest and snuggled into the warmth of the raven, Naruto made a small sigh as he fell to sleep. Subconsciously the raven wrapped his arms around the soft object on him, holding it tightly to him in his sleep.
Rayne sat on the end of her masters bed scoffing at the cold night, Fugaku was sleeping peaceful his dreams filled for some reason with the smell of a questionable nature. Giles was sleeping his breath blowing into the mans face and was peacefully asleep, Mikoto was sleeping silently listening to the dogs steady heartbeat.
As it endlessly went, De-Thump, De-Thump, De-Thump, De-Thump...
