In The Pursuit Of Happiness

A/N: Hello~ I just started this after I updated my other story so if I do not answer your question right now I will get to it later. Well actually first, I have a bit of a rant or rather a not/rant. I did not put Naruko as a person on the story tag because Naruko refers to Naruto's female clone or henge, in one volume of the Manga it actually says that ( I can't remember which one though. ). I actually dislike it when people use that in story tags and it does not involve Naruto being stuck in his henge form or one of his clones doing so. There is also the name meaning involved. Naruko means Ringing Child. Nariko means Thunder child. Far closer to a weather related name, Hence Naruto on the tab. Also to the first guest reviewer who er… Cursed at me for it. I write this for fun, you do not have to read it and if you must say something do it nicely. Ps,I used Her and She in the summary for a reason.

To SeiryuNoAmi: I would have probably changed it if someone ( See Above Rant ) had not deliberately ordered me to. It is not your fault and I am deeply sorry that I won't do so, if only because you asked nicely. However, I am rather obstinate once someone ticks me off. Again it is not your fault. Now onto funner things. I don't think that Kouen would like being groped and Nariko is a certified pervert. The same with Koumei and Kouha. The reaction would be hilarious though. Sinbad would probably take it in stride however, And yes as a Magi Nariko has more than enough power to keep him in line. You did give me an idea however! Thank you! ^^ I will pair Wisteria from TOAWTW, with whoever wins the poll. Which is ending on the Twentieth chapter.

To Guest: Ehh, I keep thinking about her groping him and find it hilarious.

To Harlequin320: Thank you! ^^

To Guest: Thank you! You do not have to choose right now but in oh about three or four more chapters I will tally up the votes and make my decision.

To Guest: Thank you!

To CareBear0309: Ok! Thank you for Reviewing!

To AyumixRose: Thank you! And yep that's exactly what I was thinking! He is such a melodramatic fox isn't he?

Now on to the chapter! Ps, some grammatical errors show up even after I've fixed them. So if you see it would you please tell me so that I can avoid it in the future. For instance I can not use the abbreviation for Knocked Out without it only showing up only half way, either one K or a single O by itself, in the chapter.

Chapter Three: In Honor Of Ero-Jii-San!

Nariko Uzumaki was currently scribbling away in a slim notebook while the wagon that her and Aladdin where on hurtled down the path. Every once in awhile she would let out a perverted giggle that made most give her a bewildered look. Aladdin sat beside her munching on some tangerines that she had gotten from the market the previous day. Every once in awhile he would glance up and try to look at what she was writing only for her to block him and say that she would show him when he was old enough to appreciate it. Soon the boy left and was bugging the driver. Nariko listened half heartedly as she wrote, wondering just who captured the first dungeon. The blond smiled as she heard the little girl ask to hear more about the dungeon. Nariko began to frown when the fat little man in the back began to talk down to the driver like he was trash however. Her teeth clenched together in a wordless snarl as the boy bowed and apologised evan as she saw his hands tighten on the rains of the donkey. She glanced over at Aladdin to see that he was watching with a look of confusion and slight anger. Nariko slid over after putting her work away and gently grabbed the boy holding him to herself. Large blue eyes blinked and then looked up at the gentle purple ones looking down at him. He gave a soft sad smile and then the whole cart jerked to the side sending them flying into the side wall.

"The Fuck was that?!" Nariko cried as she held the child Magi in her arms and braced herself on the wall. The driver Alibaba, If she remembered correctly was looking around and then blanched almost to white.

"Everyone Out! Quickly! It's a Desert Hyacinth, There Carnivorous! If they catch you they Can and Will Eat You!" The blond teen called out as he stared helping people out of the cart. Nariko braced herself and back flipped out of the cart still holding a strangely still Aladdin. She set him down and instructed him to help the woman and her child out. She ignored the fat man crying out about his wine and began to help everyone out with the cart. However a loud scream made her look up and catch sight of the young girl falling into the plant. She paled and started running over. Nariko smirked when Alibaba punched the fat man and jumped down the help the little girl. The blond woman slid to a stop just at the edge of the pit, accidentally kicking the horrible little man in the groin on the way. She snickered when he groaned.

Alibaba had just gotten the girl free when the monster caught his right ankle and dragged him back. Nariko hissed angrily and taped what seemed to be a fur necklace. It moved a bit and then a tiny head appeared revealing it to be a pipe fox.

"What Bratling? I was having a good dream." A surprisingly deep voice rumbled from the tiny creature. Nariko snorted and pointed ahead to the plant monster who almost had Alibaba in its mouth.

"Yeah, well sorry to interrupt but I need some fire power!" The blond woman said as she touched the staff that was attached to her back. The small fox grumbled for a moment and then leapt from her neck and into the air. As he did so Aladdin took off his turban and made it fly into the air revealing that it was a magic carpet. The boy was taken aback for a moment as a bright orange light erupted from the tiny fox form and it started to change. Aladdin grinned and made sure that he had the wine on board and that he had not dropped any. Soon the light disappeared leaving a huge six foot long fox floating in the air with nine glorious tails wiping around its lean frame. Soft orange fire was dancing along it's paws and tails. Nariko who had been watching lept up and hovered for a moment and then headed over to where Aladdin was.

"Hey Kiddo!" He glanced over to his Onee-chan and gave her a big grin. Nariko grinned back. "You drop the wine and I'll grab the brat! Afterwards Kurama will use his fire to make sure that this thing doesn't bug anyone again! Ok?" Aladdin nodded and gave her a thumbs up. "Ready! Set! Go!" She shouted and then took off the moment that the load was dropped into the plant. She was able to grab Alibaba with little to no problem and the take off to the edge of the sand pit where the caravan was waiting. She glanced over to Aladdin as she landed seeing him walking over to the two of them. He was talking to Alibaba when a sudden surge of flames erupted behind her making the blond woman turn to see that Kurama had fried the plant monster. Nariko gave a bark of laughter as everyone jumped and the large fox landed beside her. 'All's well that ends well I suppose.' She thought as she patted Kurama who sat beside her. The fox tilted his head however as a loud screech of people who were startled reached them. Nariko blinked and then sweatdropped as she caught sight of Ugo emerging from his flute. 'Or not.'

"Damn Kit… I think the brat may be worse than you…. How is that possible?!"

"I don't know furr butt. I don't know."

"... Why the hell have I not killed you yet?"

~~~~~ Later At Alibaba's House ~~~~~

"... So you're both looking for metal vessels?" Alibaba asked as he sat watching his guests. One was the small boy who had helped save him. The other was a beautiful woman who was the child's caretaker. The blond male swallowed tightly as he glanced over at said woman and found her stretched out on the floor with her arms behind her head. She was more exotic than any woman he had ever seen and he had seen quite a few ones in the palace of Balbadd. She suddenly shifted and a single amethyst eye opened and stared right back.

"What bratling? Have you never seen a woman before?" She asked lifting a bow after opening both eyes. He flushed and turned away stuttering. Nariko smirked and then closed her eyes once more. He felt sweat trickle down his temple and then turned back to the boy desperately trying to ignore the tempting sight of the woman's chest rising and falling with each breath. He was just about to talk to Aladdin again when the door suddenly burst open and an elderly man stepped into the room.

Nariko blinked her eyes open and watched as the old man cautioned Alibaba about angering the lord of the town. She sniggerd when the blond boy introduded Aladdin as a servant though. Poor boy didn't know anything about subterfuge. She sighed to herself when she thought about the next day. That was going to be very awkward for the other blond…. What fun.

~~~~~ Next Day, Late Evening ~~~~~

Nariko sweatdropped as she stared at the building that the two boys were about to inter. 'What the hell is this?! Did someone reincarnate Jiraiya Ero-Jii-San hear?! That looks exactly like one of his drawings!' she huffed and headed in after Alibaba glanced back at her with a raised brow. He then flushed when she didn't leave and just followed them.

"Y-You know this is a brothel Right?" The blond boy asked and then flinched when Nariko gave him a annoyed look. "N-Never Mind!" He squeaked and ran over to a couch with Aladdin being dragged behind him. Nariko snorted and then glanced around. A leer came over her face and she made her way over to two twin hostesses who were not entertaining anyone. The two gave her surprised looks as she plopped down in front of them. Nariko reached into her magic bag that Ugo had given her before she left and pulled out some money and a notebook and brush.

"I'll pay you both if you will tell me some of the greatest times you have ever had as hostesses. Oh, and any exceptionally funny stories as well. I'm a writer of er… adult literature you see and I need some inspiration. So what do you say?" The woman asked with a foxy grin as she held up several gold coins. Both women opposite her drooled a bit.

"We'll do it!" Two voices chimed.

"Cool! Now what's first!" The rest of the night was followed by perverted giggling from Nariko.

Oh, and Alibaba nearly dieing from a woman damn near snapping his back.

"Dear Sweet Kami what did I do to deserve this?!... Wait never mind I remember… Damn, Shouldn't have wiped out those er… couple thousand villages when they pissed me off… Fuuuck…." Kurama twitched as he watched this all happen.

~~~~~ Day Of The Dungeon Diving ~~~~~

Nariko waited by the entrance of the Dungeon leaning against a pillar. The woman was wiped out from writing throughout the night. She had finished her first book in this world just this morning and after finding out where she could get it published from Alibaba (Who was still giving her the stink eye for laughing her ass off after the hostess incident.) she had run over to the place while the two boys got supplies. Now she was just waiting for them to arrive. Nariko picked at her nails as she argued with the small nusense that was wrapped around her neck.

"Seriously, It is not my fault that you can't get laid."

"Bullshit, If you had just fucking given me permission I could have had fun last night, But No! You had to keep me in my smaller and Non Human form and I got to watch as the little brat got more action than I have in like a Thousand Years!"

"Yah, because tales of a man with fox ears and a tail won't make anyone pay attention to us! Plus It takes energ-, D-Did you just say a T-Thousand years?"

"Yes!"

"...Dude I am sooo Sorry."

"Whatever Bra-, What The Fuck are those two Doing?!"

"Hm?! Wha-" Nariko turned as the ground started to shake. She blanched and then backed up some as Ugo came skidding to a stop in front of the gate. 'What The Hell are those Two Thinking?!' She shouted in her mind. Ugo went back into his flute and the two boys rushed up the stairs to stand beside her. "What the hell happened?!" She asked Alibaba as Aladdin was catching his breath.

"Aladdin freed a slave and we almost got caught by that wine merchant." The other blond said as he breathed frantically. Nariko blinked and then glanced down at the small blue haired boy leaning against her.

"Good job Kiddo." She said ruffling the boys hair. "Next time though, don't get caught." Aladdin beamed up at her and then accidently pushed Alibaba into the gateway of the dungeon. Alibaba who then had grabbed Aladdin who in turn grabbed Nariko.

"WHY HAVE THE KAMI CURSED ME SO!" the once Kyuubi shouted.

"Because You Suck!" His once Jailer shouted back.

~~~~~ Inside Dungeon Amon ~~~~~

One large fox with nine tails lounged on a pile of treasure watching his previous container sleep. His large angular head settled down on his crossed paws as he felt himself get lost in thought. They had been falling into the dungeon when they had gotten separated from the two boys and the fox himself had woken up in the treasure chamber of the dungeon and found Nariko lying sound asleep beside him. They had been here for a few hours now. Kurama Huffed and shifted a bit.

"Lousy time to fall asleep brat. *Sigh* Just where are those other brats anyway?" The demon fox shifted and closed his eyes. 'May as well get some sleep.' He thought and drifted off into an uneasy doze.

~~~~~ In Nariko's Dream ~~~~~

"'Those who break the rules are scum, however those who abandon comrades are worse than Scum.'" Isn't that what you said Hatake-San?" A fourteen year old Nariko asked as she stared up at the man with dead eyes. Her former mentor, not that he ever was much of one, stepped back when he saw the look of something broken and dark in her violet eyes. "Well consider yourself worse than scum. You're technique nearly killed me, the one you taught the one person who was a flight risk." The silver haired man flinched and tried to say something to his teachers child only for her to turn away and stared out of the window. "I do not wish to see you again. The Hokage had agreed and will never put us on the same team if she can help it." Nariko dismissed the man and continued staring out of the window. That was the last time she ever saw the Elite Ninja.

"Nari-Onee-Chan! Wake up!" a childish voice cut through the dream and the young blond woman felt herself wake.

~~~~~ Treasure Room Amon's Dungeon ~~~~~

Bright amethyst eyes popped open as Nariko woke. She blinked and then glanced around taking in the scene around her. Alibaba who was rather beat up stood in front of a man and a redheaded girl. Aladdin was leaning over Nariko while Kurama was in his smaller form and wrapped around the boys neck. The blond gave the boy a small smile of reassurance and then sat up. Around that time the vase on the altar lit up and blinded everyone.

The Djinn was coming forth.

A/N: Hello! Sorry for the long wait! I have had my sleep schedule messed up for a while which limited the time I had to work on this. I also have been stuck on just where I want to send Nariko after Amon's Dungeon. I think I may send her with Morgiana so that Aladdin may grow up some without her there and Nariko will develop a bond with the girl. Not to sure yet though. For those whose questions I have not answered yet I will try to get to them next chapter. Oh, as for my other story TOAWTW Kouen is currently tied with Sinbad at thirty five votes each. Please vote if you have not yet. Thank you for reading and please favorite and review.
