Chapter 4

It had been a few days since the pair had been introduced to their "star-racer".

They had decided to call it "the flying kitsune". It was powered by two big engines on either side, linked at the back by the cockpit that was big enough for both of them and had an orange windshield. The engines were designed like a pair of wings, almost as if they were modeled after Sasuke's wings. Behind the cockpit there were ten, kind of robotic looking, tails that were meant for defensive purpose but could be used as an offensive measure if needed.

Inside the cockpit there was room for both of them as one was to pilot the vehicle while the other handled the defenses and offenses. Naru had littered the whole star-racer with different seals to better defend and also to be able to see at a 360 degrees angle. This way they could easily see what was happening around them as well as find out what needed to be done.

Naru had put up seals that made the vehicle almost completely self-sustaining and driven almost solely by nature-chakra derived directly from the surroundings. It was only the kick start that needed a pretty big electric boost, which was easily handled with a quick "Chidori stream" from Sasuke.

Later as Naru had been taught how to pilot "the flying kitsune" she had decided that it needed a new paintjob. She decided to have the engines painted like a hawks feathers, and the tail-like appendages became orange in color with black tips and accents. The fronts of the two engines got a symbol each that represented them, a ten-tailed fox on the right engine and a tengu with its wings stretched out in flight on the left.

She was about to paint a snarling fox-face on the outside of the cockpit when Sasuke entered the area. He was looking at something in his hands when he walked in so he didn't know what she had done before she called out to him.

-Hey! Sasuke, come and look at this!

Lifting his head to see what she was talking about he finally saw it.

-What do you think? I'm almost done with it. I just need to add Kurama's face and it's done!

He just stared at it. She had done a pretty good job on the details and it almost looked lifelike. But Sasuke was a bit putt off at the fact that she hadn't even consulted with him about it first, before she went off and painted their "star-racer". Although she had done it quiet beautifully and she had kind of made a representation for him on it too. Their symbols were even painted on their dominant sides.

He finally decided that he would reprimand her while also praising her for her work.

-It is very well done Naru.

She immediately lit up with a 100V smile. Before she could say anything however, he cut her off.

-But I'm rather disappointed that you didn't tell me about it earlier or even asked for my opinion before doing anything rash.

She was immediately put down and started pouting at him.

-Cute.

He thought to himself before shaking his head. In a rather subdued tone, Naru asked him.

-Is it okay with you if I finish painting the "star-racer"? It's just Kurama's face left.

Satisfied with the fact that his reprimand had been received by his partner, Sasuke nodded his head in reply. Naru was once again in high spirits and got right back to work. A few minutes later Sasuke was about to turn around and head back to their shared room to continue his contemplations when he heard her voice.

-What were you looking at earlier? I didn't see it when you came but you were rather distracted. You almost walked right into the fence surrounding the "mountain of spare parts and stuff" before I started speaking to you.

Sasuke, surprised by this, turned his head to see that she was actually right. Sweat-dropping at this fact he turned back to her before holding up his hand for her to see what he was holding.

She turned her gaze to his hand and her caught sight of what he was showing her. Her attention was then fully directed at the thing in his hand.

-What is that?

She asked, now turning her whole body towards him.

-I'm not sure. Satis gave it to me saying that it might help us in the future, but he never told me what it was or what it was for.

Sasuke answered. Naru was fully intrigued by the thing by this point.

-It gives off something akin to a heartbeat but I can't really feel anything else other than a positive energy surrounding it. It's almost as if it's alive.

She said, confusing him all the more as to what it could be. Naru stretched out her hand for it and Sasuke gave it to her. Inspecting it closer she noticed a feeling of warmth coming from it.

-Its warm. The surface is pretty smooth. It's like this thing might just be some kind of egg. I'm not sure what kind but I think that we need to take care of it until it hatches. It needs to be kept warm and safe. Don't we have some extra blankets somewhere around here?

As she started talking to herself she started walking towards their room to prepare a nest for the egg. She had completely forgotten about her little project on their "star-racer". Sasuke soon followed her with an amused smirk on his face.

It was just so like Naru to get so caught up in something that she pretty much forgot her surroundings and what she was doing right before her interest was so completely caught by something.

Satis had watched their interactions through a small water-mirror in his home. He was chuckling to himself as he watched Naru's antics. Right now she was running around trying to find things to be able to care for the egg that he had given to them just half an hour ago.

It was apparently Naru who had figured out that it was an egg before she started running around looking for things. She had at least thought to create a nest for the egg before she started to look for other things. He decided that he should give them a hint in caring for it by leaving a book later. But for now, he just wanted to enjoy the show.

(Break line)

The next day Naru found a book on their kitchen table with a note saying:

This might help a bit.

Good luck!

/Satis

It was a book containing different tips and instructions of how to care for the egg, but it didn't say a word on what the egg was going to hatch into. At the end of the book however there was another note that said:

You'll have to see for yourselves.

This somewhat pissed Naru off at the fact that Satis was apparently trying to deliberately confuse them and that was starting to make her mad.
