A/N: Probably should have mentioned this before, but Naruto is related to the Addams through Morticia. The Uchiha are related through Gomez. So no badass Sharingan-weilding Naruto.

Heh, pretty jumpy plot here, but it was necessary. Next chapter will be a series of funny bits and pieces from them growing up.

Chapter 3: Roommates

As it turns out, Kitty-Cat really liked Naruto. The moment Morticia placed Naruto on the carpet in the sitting room, Kitty-Cat came running in, in all of his proud lion-ness, and sat in front of the blond. Naruto tried to tilt his head to look up at the rather large "house cat," unfortunately falling over in the process. Kitty-Cat growled when Morticia went to pick the boy up, and started licking the toddler from head to toe, purring contently and curling protectively around him.

"Oh look Gomez, Kitty-Cat loves him!" Morticia happily said as Gomez entered the room.

"Cara mia, it's as if they've been friends forever!"

The phone rang out, interrupting the Addamses as they celebrated Pugsley's fifth birthday. Gomez glanced at the clock, which read midnight exact, and smiled. Who would be calling them at such a marvelous hour? Thing popped out of his box, and handed Morticia the phone, as she was the closest.

"Salut? This is Morticia Addams speaking, who is this?"

"Morticia-san? This is Fugaku. Do you remember our deal?"

"Oh, Fugaku! Why yes I do. Do you want to speak to Gomez?"

"I... I think that will be the best-" Fugaku started to responded, a flurry of hacking coughs interrupting him. Morticia quickly gave Gomez the phone.

"Fugaku, my man?" Gomez asked, worried.

"S-Sorry about that. I've... my wife and I, I think we've been poisoned. Slow-acting. Our deal, do you remember it? About my sons." Gomez frowned, worried.

"I do remember our deal. Are you and Mikoto going to be alright?"

"..." Fugaku stayed quiet for a while before barely whispering, "...no."

"Fugaku-"

"Gomez, I'm afraid my wife and I may not make the week." Gomez almost dropped the phone. One of his family members, an Addams by blood!, was dying.

"I... Fugaku, my dear cousin, your sons, what will become of them after you and your wife...?" He trailed off, not wanting to scare his already anxious family.

"We finalized our wills after you left last year. Our sons will inherit our fortune when they come of age, and they themselves are left to your family to take care of until they are of age or are Shinobi. I just..." Gomez heard Fukagu swallow roughly, and smother coughs. "I had hoped to be the one to teach Sasuke the Fireball Jutsu when he was six, just like I did for Itachi. I wanted to congratulate them both when they graduate the Academy- Itachi's almost finished, by the way. I wanted to be there for them, when they became men and were sent out on their first C-Rank mission out of the village..." His cousin sighed sadly. "But I can't. I just hope you and your wife are able to support them. Allow them to live their lives the way they want to. Don't let them wallow in grief, take care of them... dear cousin."

"Fukagu? Cousin? My man, what do you mean? We'll come pick up your boys but-"

"No need. They should be at your house within three hours."

"...good luck, my good man. Give my regards to your wife. I hope, no, wish that the afterlife treats you fairly. Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc."

"...we would gladly feast on those that would subdue us, hm? Fitting for your family. Goodbye cousin, hopefully we will meet again." Fugaku said, before the line went dead. Gomez frowned, and gently hung the phone up. The family surrounding him glanced between each other. Morticia placed a hand on Gomez's shoulder.

"Gomez?"

"...I'm afraid that a wondrous couple of Addams are no longer with us." Gomez attempted a smile. "However, this family of Addams are getting new members in less than three hours! So, let's celebrate!"

The addition of two new faces really didn't make a difference in the Addams household. But, Sasuke's brooding and crying had started getting on everyone's nerves. Despite Itachi's numerous tries to stop him, Sasuke continued, until Morticia stepped in and hugged the living daylights out of the boy.

"Now, now, Sasuke, there's no need to cry. You're an Addams!" Sasuke nodded his head against her shoulder.

"But... momma and papa aren't here! I wan' my mom!" Sasuke shouted, only to get squeezed tighter by Morticia.

"Sorry Sasuke, but your mum can't be here. Her and your Father are in a far better place." Seeing Sasuke about to respond, Morticia quickly continued her explanation. "They're in the Addams' portion of the afterlife Sasuke, and I do hope you won't join them too early. After all, you haven't even seen the Play Room, or played with Kitty-Cat!" Sasuke perked up at that.

"Kitty? Where's Kitty-Cat?" Morticia smiled and whistled sharply.

"KITTY-CAT? Come here kitty, kitty, kitty!" She called. Naruto, who was drawing with Wednesday on the other side of the room squealed and shakily started toddling towards her.

"Kitty-Cat! Kitty-Cat!" He cheered as the lion bounded into the room and almost immediately started licking him.

"See Sasuke? That's Kitty-Cat. Don't worry, he loves children, as you can tell." Sasuke and Itachi's eyes were wide as they watched the young blond get licked by a lion.

"Kitty? Tha's a Kitty?" Sasuke asked. Itachi absently nodded. "B-But is scary!" Itachi froze at the scared tone in Sasuke's voice. He stood straighter, and smiled softly.

"Don't worry, little brother. Kitty-Cat is just a kitty. Harmless." Itachi said, before boldly stepping forwards, and petting the lion. Kitty-Cat mewled and rubbed against the Uchiha. "See?" Sasuke nodded and ran forwards.

"Kitty!"

"Gomez, darling, are the children asleep?" Morticia asked, as she and Gomez entered their bedroom.

"Of course cara mia. I made sure. Sasuke and Naruto don't seem to mind sharing a room for now, and neither Pugsley nor Itachi had any complaints about sharing. Wednesday is fast asleep with the new doll Grandmama gave her. You know, that one she gave her a few weeks ago."

"I see." Morticia sat down on the bed, Gomez making himself comfortable next to her. "Gomez, what will we do when Naruto and Sasuke wish to see their birth country? You know Itachi wishes to go back, but he won't leave his brother."

"Cara mia, perhaps we should cross that bridge when we get to it." Gomez gained a thoughtful expression. "And perhaps we can burn it from the other side so anyone following us will be trapped!" Morticia smiled.

"Gomez, you know just what to say to cheer me up." She reached over, and turned off the lamp. "Bon soir, mon amour."

"Tish! That's French!"
