Thump. Thump. THUMP.

"What was that?" Konohamaru asked. Naruto looked down at him and smiled.

"That," he said, wrapping his arm around the smaller boy, "was just this house. It's so old that I wouldn't be surprised if you find any broke floorboards or stairs."

Konohamaru bit his lip. "That's not very comforting, big brother."

Naruto rubbed Konohamaru's head. "Oh come on, there's nothing to be afraid of. Everything here is just fine—and there aren't any monsters." He said, puncturing Konohamaru's next question.

"All right…but I'm gonna search all the rooms just in case!" He threw his bag at Naruto. "Take care of my stuff for me, okay big brother?"

The bag hit him in the face, so he couldn't agree or tell Konohamaru to take care of his own stuff.

He lugged the luggage up to their shared room in the house and threw them on the floor. "There." He said to the empty space. The room was big enough for two people. Naruto saw his side of the room: the half he would get was situated underneath a large window that overlooked the lake next to the house they were moving into. In the corner was a small alcove where he could place his things, so he picked them up from the floor and set them down. "there." He said again, once again to the empty space.

Thump. Thump.

He looked around the room. It was just him. Though he did notice something he hadn't before: in a corner of the room was a closet; its door was shut and a huge paddle-lock hung around the doorknob. Thump. The door creaked against its hinges. Naruto took a step towards the door. Thump. Dust billowed out from underneath the door. Naruto was waling towards the door now, anxious to see just what was behind the door. Thump. Naruto was at the door now, his hand fixed around the doorknob.

CRASH.

Dust flew out towards Naruto, and he felt something wrap its jaws around him.

Meanwhile, Konohamaru was finishing up his tour. He hadn't found anything worth reporting back to Naruto, so he figured he'd just go back to the room that was supposed to be theirs.

Once he was in the hallway, he noticed a giant dust cloud around where the door to their room should be.

"Naruto?" he called out, hoping he'd answer…He didn't get an answer. He ran into the dust cloud.

"RRRAAWWGGHHH!" something screamed. Even to Konohamaru's young mind it sounded bloodthirsty.

The dust cleared, and Konohamaru's eyes grew wide at what he saw.

"Dad?" he asked. For the shape in front of him did resemble his father; but Konohamaru knew it wasn't.

"Gwaghh." It replied, before it brought up a hand with bone-like protrusions sticking out of its fingers, and swung it down on Konohamaru.

"WAKE UP KONOHAMARU!" he heard Naruto yell in his ear.

"Huh?!" Konohamaru said, jerked awake.

"We're here at our new house! Come on, we gotta get inside and check it out."

Konohamaru undid his seatbelt and opened his car door, stepping onto the loose gravel of his new driveway. He was instantly picked up by his dad though.

"How does it look, Konohamaru?" his dad said, running a hand through his hair.

"It looks great…" he said, a bit puzzled.

"Something the matter?" his dad asked, setting him down.

"Nope, nothing." He replied.

"Great, then let's go inside!"

"All right!" he said, mustering up cheerfulness. There was something wrong though. When his dad had run his hand through his hair, he'd noticed something, something white, something sticking unnaturally out of his dads fingers—something very bone-like.
