Chapter 4:
Lake House Secrets
Shigure happily made his way back to the room when dinner was done and said "That's right! I forget, Golden Week starts tomorrow does it not?" everyone who was now eating dinner stopped and stared up to the smiling dog, Naruto blinked not understanding, Shigure smiled and said "Vacations like this don't come up everyday, so lets go somewhere!" everyone stared at him, before he said "Come on, come on! We could go to a Sohma Summer Home or stay at a resort! Right Tohru-Chan? Tell them!" Tohru stared wide eyed not knowing what to say.
Naruto watched them talk about a summer home, and they asked if Shigure even had a license, he paused and said of course he does and this made her sweat drop as both Yuki and Kyo asked out "Then what was that pause for?" Shigure pouted and then asked "Naruto-Chan, do you want to go to a summer home?" Naruto blinked while eating her rice, Naruto then said "Yeah sounds like fun and besides if Tohru-Chan wants to go, I'm game for it….."
Tohru smiled and so did Shigure, Naruto looked to Kyo and Yuki and said with a smile "You boys coming or not?" they both twitched but nodded.
Naruto rose and said "Okay, hey Tohru-Chan, if you don't mind I'm going to be crashing in your room on the floor. Where is it?" Tohru eyes widened for a moment before saying "O-Oh yes, fallow me, if you like I'll sleep down here so you can have my bed…"
Naruto shook her head and said with a smile "Naw its okay, I'll sleep on the floor, you sleep on your bed, okay Princess?" Tohru stared at her cousin before seeing the blue eyes not kidding, she nodded softly saying "This way…" and she went upstairs with Naruto trailing behind her.
Shigure stared before looking to Yuki and Kyo, Yuki asked "Now what? We have another girl living here and she might find out about it…" Shigure then said "No, its okay I talked to Akito. He said if anything happens that she finds out she'll still stay…" they stared at Shigure, they couldn't help but think 'What are you planning Akito, first you let Tohru stay and now your letting Naruto, what are you up to?…'
Shigure then said "Besides, I think… She has a secret of her own, something that she can't really say…" Kyo looked up and stared at Shigure and remembered the words the blonde said at the grave. 'They called me a demon, a monster….' Kyo stared at where both Tohru and Naruto had sat, he remembered both of them laughing and smiling, Naruto joking about things, Yuki looked over and saw the look on Kyo's face, he then looked away to the staircase.
(Next Morning)
Naruto stared at the man with the strange man with black hair, she blinked and said "Hello, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, who are you?" Hatori blinked, he had thought for sure he was going to met Shigure at the door, or maybe even Tohru when he heard it unlock itself, what he didn't expect was seeing a very beautiful golden haired teenager. Hatori put his hand out and said "Hatori, Hatori Sohma…"
Naruto stared at the hand and said "Oh, come on in, since you're a Sohma, I guess you're a family member of Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure-San huh? The others are still sleeping…" he nodded softly and came into the house, he then said "What are you doing up so early its only six in the morning, I was going to let myself in so I don't wake the others up but it seems someone opened the door before I could…"
Naruto smiled as she walked into the living room saying "I normally wake up at four to train, so of course I'm up at this hour, force of habit, can't sleep late even if I tried…" Hatori sat down as he heard "By the way, I'm Tohru's cousin, in case our wondering, I asked Shigure-San if I can stay since Tohru-Chan is my only family member I have left…" Hatori looked up and stared at the blonde haired girl that smiled, he then said "I see, I thought I heard something about her having a cousin staying here."
Naruto smiled and said "You want anything to eat, I may not be a awesome cook like Tohru-Chan but I get by…" Hatori only said "Tea, I ate before I came by…" Naruto nodded and went to the kitchen, he could hear her say from inside "So, Hatori-San, I guess your going to be taking us to the Summer House, am I right?"
He nodded and said "Yes, Yuki called asking if I can, I guess he doesn't trust Shigure with the idea of driving…" Naruto laughed and said "Yeah, I wouldn't ether…" after a while of no talking, Naruto came back with some cups, she placed it on the table and said "Here you go, nice and hot…" Hatori smiled softly and took the cup, he drank it and thought 'Not bad, not many people get this type of tea just right…'
He then stopped as he heard "You like it? Its my favorite type, but I don't get it much because I normally don't have enough money, believe me, I was surprised when I saw it sitting in the cupboard in the kitchen so I just had to make it." he stared at the smiling girl before nodding softly, he then heard "It's good when your alone, but I like it better when someone is drinking it with you…"
He then stared more at the blonde before noticing something, the blondes hand was bleeding a small bit, he stared before Naruto noticed it, she looked down and said "Oh this, I was just putting stuff away for Tohru-Chan in the kitchen, so she doesn't need to do them later, and a knife I was holding fell out of my hand and slit my finger for a moment, don't worry, I'm a fast healer…."
He stared and nodded softly, but his eyes caught something, the small cut healed fast, faster then anything he had ever seen, his eyes grew wide for a moment before hearing footsteps and someone saying in a singing voice "Naruto-Chan! Is that tea I smell!" they both looked to the door and saw Shigure happily there with a fan, he then said "Oh, I would so like a cup, and while you get me a cup I shall go fetch the others…" Naruto laughed but nodded, she rose and went to the kitchen to get Shigure the tea.
Shigure looked down and said "I see you met our new freeloader, that's Naruto-Chan…" Hatori then said "You know Shigure, if you keep opening your door for people, you might get someone you don't want one day…"
(Later)
Naruto watched her cousin smile happily out to the water of the lake from the house, Naruto put her hands in the blue jeans she was borrowing from one of the boys. She wore a black T-Shirt and sighed, she really needed to get some new clothes, she stared at Tohru who smiled brighter and brighter next to Yuki and she couldn't help but smile too.
She let her mind wonder as Shigure talked about 'Jason' and Naruto rolled her eyes, she had seen those movies and knew that he was playing with a angry Kyo and a questioning Tohru. Naruto looked at the Sohmas through the corner of her eyes and thought 'Those guys are really different, something about them doesn't make sense, I mean their Charka, even if its little, has two different sources, almost like mine but Kyuubi's locked away in me so I know I wasn't born with it but their different sources is something before they even got out of their mothers. I wonder…'
Naruto snapped out of her thoughts when Shigure said "Dear, Dear, you two seem so cynical…. I honestly just wanted to go on a trip with everyone, it saddens my heart that you would suspect me so…." she watched Shigure pout as he said "If you don't have anything better to do than pick on people… The Two of you should take Tohru-Kun and Naruto-Kun for a walk down by to the lake…"
The room was silent for a moment, Naruto didn't really mind, she was going to go on her own anyway but before she could say anything she heard "What? What's eating you two? You're so gloomy?" she raised an eyebrow and stared at Shigure who still pouted like a child. Naruto got a not good feeling for a moment, she muttered the word "Dog…" her eyes traveled to Yuki, Kyo, and Hatori "Rat, Cat… Dragon…." she didn't noticed the look her cousin gave her, her face was in a bit of a panic since she was the only one that heard the words…
(Later)
The four walked to the lake, it was a calm day, Naruto watched as Kyo and Yuki was silent and Tohru thought it was her fault, Naruto then asked something "Hey… Who is Aaya? You both looked like your going to kill Shigure-San if he even mentioned the guy…." they froze, Tohru blushed softly as she remembered when she met the snake Zodiac, while Kyo and Yuki both glared at the air.
Kyo then said as he pointed to Yuki "That guy is Yuki's perverted older brother, his name is really Ayame…" Yuki glared and said "You make it sound like I want him to be my brother…." Naruto raised an eyebrow but shrugged it off, she turned to a uneasy Tohru and said to her "I take it that Yuki and this guy Ayame don't get along?" Tohru nodded softly before hearing "Heh, at least his brotherly hate isn't as bad as Sasuke's…"
Tohru looked to her cousins face and saw it scowl for a moment, her eyes closed for a moment before hearing "Hey, I'm going to go check on something, you guys stay with Tohru-Chan and if you hurt her I'll kill you…" Naruto said as she pointed to the Sohma boys in front of her and Tohru, Kyo rolled his eyes and sweat dropped, Yuki sweat dropped but nodded.
Naruto walked away from the group for a moment, she could hear someone ask "Where is she going?" she then heard her cousin say "O-Oh Naru-Kun just remembered something bad, she needs to vent for a moment…" she knew her cousin was freaking out inside, mostly because the Sohma boys weren't fighting…
When she was far from them, Naruto clutched her hand, Naruto raised her fist and punched the ground, a loud boom was heard and the birds flew, Naruto took one breath and cussed out "God, I'm a fucking idiot, why the hell did I say that bastard name! Damn it!" Naruto looked around and saw the hole she had made, she glared before sighing, she needed something to punch and the poor ground was there.
Naruto looked around before seeing a rock, she walked over and sat down, she needed to see if she got any messages from Jiraiya, she had sent the address and what part of the town she was living in to him last night before she went to bed, she summoned one of the frog brothers but they said she had no messages from Jiraiya yet. She then thought 'I bet you ten bucks he's out rescreaching again...' She sighed again before muttering to herself "Damn Uchiha for getting into my thoughts and words...."
"Damn Kit is remembering that bastard still bad for you?" she rolled her eyes at the kitsune inside her and said "Yeah, how would you feel if you just remember a bastard that shoved the damned Chidori in you, twice! And then see him again and he tries to kill you again? And when you finally have him back home and you finally get that damned seal off of him, he still thinks you're a idiot?…."
She heard the fox chuckle uneasy for a moment as she said "Okay, okay I understand. But at least he's back to normal now…" Naruto gave a sigh and a nod as she said "Yeah, your right, at least he's trying to have friends now….but he still a bastard for doing all of this…." she heard the fox sigh for a moment before saying "You better get back to you cousin and the moody boys now…"
Naruto nodded and got off from the rock and went to go find the others, it was easy finding them, their charka, even if it was a small bit, was easy to find. She stopped when she was near a hill and heard screaming, she looked up and her eyes widened, Tohru was falling from the hill and Kyo and Yuki jumped to get her, they both held onto her and was falling down to the Uzumaki girl at the end of the hill.
But then out of the blue a poof of smoke come around Tohru, Naruto's eyes widened.
"Oh… Shit…" Naruto muttered out before getting hit and stopping her cousin from hitting the tree behind her…
(Later)
Naruto opened her eyes and heard her cousin crying again and saying fast "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!" Naruto sighed before asking "You okay Tohru-Chan?" Tohru's eyes widened and she looked back fast saying "N-Naru-Chan!? W-When? H-How?!" Naruto chuckled at her cousin for a moment before saying "I was walking over here when I saw you falling… Kyo and Yuki jumped to save you but they suddenly just-" Naruto was cut off when she noticed a small rat almost like a mouse in-between her and Tohru, she suddenly looked to her side and saw a pissed off orange cat.
She blinked before hearing from the rat that didn't even noticed her "Honda-San are you hurt?" Naruto's eyes widened as she heard that the voice sounded like Yuki, her eyes traveled to the cat as Tohru said with tears "No! I'm sorry!" suddenly the cat said "Sheesh, watch where you're going, why doncha?" Naruto gapped for a moment as she found out the cat sounded like Kyo.
She felt her cousin get up as Tohru said still crying "Okay... I'll go gather your clothes!" she watched her cousin go get the forgotten clothes on the floor, Naruto looked down to the rat and then it finally noticed her, the cat too. They both got on the 'Oh Shit' look on their faces, Naruto knew that face well.
Naruto then said "Tohru-Chan… Why is Yuki and Kyo a rat and a cat?!" Naruto looked up and saw her cousin drop the clothes on the ground in shock and her mind raced 'Oh no! Oh no! She saw them! They changed! She knows!! Oh no!' Naruto then stopped before looking down to the rat and cat. She stared at them before saying "Well, I'm waiting?!"
Tohru watched as Yuki and Kyo looked at each other for a moment, she watched them explain the story of the Zodiac cruse and everything to the point they meet Tohru and how she find out and that her memories could be erased if the secret ever got out. At the end Naruto nodded and her eyes were closed as she said "Okay, your telling me that in the Sohma family that someone is born as a Zodiac animal when the old one dies, and that every time the opposite gender hugs said person they change into the animal, that or when they become sick. And that if anyone found out their memories will be erased?"
They nodded, Naruto took a breath and said smiled softly "I see…" her smiled faded and a evil aura went around her, she looked down to Yuki and Kyo as she said "There is no way in hell that I'm letting anyone erase Tohru-Chan memories! I'll hurt anyone who even thinks about that!" they backed off for a moment before Naruto said "As for my memories, I don't think they can anyway…."
Kyo and Yuki stopped and looked at Naruto who grinned as she said "Lets just say I have something inside that if anyone dares to enter my mind, its not going to end pretty…" inside Naruto's mind, Kyuubi chuckled as he said "Yeah, remember what happened when Ino tried to look into your mind last time? I gave her a good scare when she had no idea where she was… Besides with me inside, I protect all your memories, even the small ones…"
Naruto grinned a little more before looking back to Kyo and Yuki who started to fight again. She and Tohru watched before more rats came to cheer Yuki up, Kyo yelled more and more for a while until Tohru couldn't help but smile as tears fell from her face, she started to laugh softly, Naruto stared for a moment before she heard Tohru say "You're fighting…" Naruto saw both Kyo and Yuki look at her as they asked "Honda-San?…" "W-What?"
Tohru giggled softly as she said "Ah! Oh, I'm Sorry….You were fighting but I laughed, that was rude of me… B-But for some reason… I felt relieved… The two of you were back to normal again like that… When I thought that I felt so relieved I just… Its strange isn't it…" Naruto blinked before staring at the cat and rat.
Naruto took a sigh as she thought 'Same old Tohru-Chan, worrying about others when she shouldn't…' she stopped when Yuki said "Um.. Well… Honda-San… You were saying something before we fell… I wasn't angry with you or anything Honda-San. If it looked like I was mad it was…. It was…" Naruto watched Yuki look down for a moment as he said to himself "It was… Just that I wasn't feeling well…."
Tohru caught those words and she was about to ask if he was okay but Yuki said "But I'm alright now. I'm sorry for worrying you…." Naruto saw Yuki place a paw on Tohru's dress and look at Tohru. Naruto smiled softly and her eyes looked to the sky for a moment, she looked back down and heard "Me too… I'm not really mad either at anything. I just… I just wasn't really feeling very well…" she looked to Kyo who tried not to look at them.
Naruto shook her head softly before Yuki said "In the head?" Kyo got pissed off and yelled out "NO!" and then in a poof of smoke the two animals suddenly became boys again, Naruto's eyes widened and her face grew red for a moment before noticing her cousin turned around and screamed.
Naruto's eyes twitched in horror for a moment before she too turned and yelled out "My eyes my young eyes!! Why!? Why did I see two idiots naked!!?" Naruto heard Kyuubi chuckle and say "Hey get used to it, your going to marry some guy someday and those boys are cute to a girl your age…."
Naruto glared at the thought before saying to her cousin "Does this always happen when they transform back?" Tohru only nodded with a red face, Naruto groaned and said to herself "Dear god what did I get myself into?" Naruto then looked to Tohru and muttered "I guess I have to go beat those asses for that 'show' in front of my cousin now…"
(Later)
Hatori and Shigure looked to pathway when they saw the four kids coming, Shigure held his laughter as he saw a badly beaten up Kyo and a small beaten Yuki. Naruto smirked as she walked by them as her cousin went to get the first aid kit. Naruto stopped and said "Kyo was easy to catch and beat up, but Yuki, not so much. It was hard trying to catch him, damn guy sure knows how to run fast…" Kyo then yelled out "Your crazy you know that!!" Naruto smirked again and said "And you're a moron if you think you can outrun a fox!!" Naruto walked back to the house and closed the door.
Hatori stared and muttered the word "Fox?…" he then turned back to Yuki who told Shigure what happened, Shigure giggled for a moment and nodded understanding…
