[Chapter 4]
"Aaaaaaaa!" Lana gave a surprised shout as she was literally thrown out of the room by a raging Lola who was by the door just glaring down at her "Don't you dare come back until I fix pretty princess up AGAIN!" She yelled out the last part as she slammed the door in front of Lana's face.
Lana who was laying on the ground just stared at the door with wide eyes at the surprise strength that her twin displayed inside the room. When she blocked Lola with chairs to get her away from her, her twin just swung them away like nothing but what scared her the most was when she decided to hide under the bed, crawling to the deepest parts of it and what does Lola do well the suppose 'Girly Princess' lifted the bed like it weighed a feather then tossed it aside like it was nothing.
SHE LIFTED IT WITH ONE ARM FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
All the time her twin's face was burning in rage as smoke was coming out of her ears, Lana was sure that Lola even started to growl at her.
"And that's my thing" Lana narrowed her eyes at the door while throwing it invisible lasers "And besides pretty princess needed a bath anyway" She muttered as she got off the ground "Pretty princess needed a bath so why not a mud bath".
She looked down and saw that her clothes were dusty but she shrugged it off with a lazy smile "The new fashion sense" She thought to herself striking a fake pose in a mocking fashion and that was when she heard some laughter.
She froze for a second before turning around slowly to see one of her big sisters "Lynn?!" She was surprised as the sports girl was just looking teasingly at her with her own head sticking out of the door.
"Lana Loud were you *Chuckles* posing?" Lynn stated with her own smirk that started growing when she saw the red on her little sister's cheeks, Lynn laughed while pointing at her "You were weren't you" She even started to giggle while Lana was trying to hide her red face in her red cap.
"N-No I was-wasn't" Lana stuttered before it became quiet, she was curious on what Lynn was doing so she peered down her cap just a little to take a glimpse of what her big sister was doing only to hide her face again.
It seemed that her older sister came out of the room just inches from the door, she then started taking the pose that Lana began while adding a few of her owns.
Basically Lynn was making fun of her.
After a few poses Lynn decided to stop before she went to her room she took one glance at her embarrassed sister and started chuckling again. She closed the door behind her "Hey Lucy" Lana quickly went over to the door and pressed her ear against it, she gulped hoping that Lynn doesn't say anything to her Goth sister Lucy about her.
"Sigh I was sleeping and you ruined my dream about Edward" Lana heard Lucy say out loud before she then heard Lynn chuckling.
"Well listen up okay" Although Lana couldn't hear anything because Lynn started to whisper something into Lucy's ear. After a minute Lana ears perked as she heard a soft laugh coming from Lucy's voice "That was horribly funny" Lucy response reached Lana's ear.
The young girl couldn't take it anymore, she groaned into her cap that she was trying to sink herself into by now. She wanted nothing more then to hide herself under a bed full of mud so she could get away from the house "Ba… Ba….Ba.." She then heard a weird sound coming down, probably in the living room.
"What does that remind me of" She started to think before she snapped her fingers in realization, the embarrassed look is gone from her face when she grew an excited smile "A Goose!" She was tempted to squeal but decided against it since the loud sound might scare away the animal….or at least she thought it was a Goose anyway.
She instantly ran to her room to get her net but before her hand could touch the handle she remembered why she wasn't in the room in the first place "Darn it" She grew a blank look as she snapped her fingers "Now how am I gonna catch that Goose?" she muttered while rubbing her chin then looked down at her hands "I could catch it with my hands" She suggested.
She remembered all the times when she caught animals just with her very own hands so if she could do all of that then why not use them to catch a Goose.
After all it was just a Goose anyway.
"Yup I'm using my hands" She smiled dumbly while rushing towards the stairs as fast as her little legs could bring her, she then ran downstairs unknowingly passing by a stranger thus looking at her older sister Lori, her big brother Lincoln and her mother Rita.
"I heard a Goose I called dibs!" She yelled out looking side to side meanwhile Naruto was looking down at the sudden appearance of an adorable little girl, Lana kept demanding where the Goose is until she saw the look on her mother's face.
"Uh mom?" Lana raised an eyebrow she could see that her mother wasn't even moving at all just staring in one direction.
She was about to turn to that direction when her gaze came onto Lori "Lori?" Lori was also there but it seems that Lori didn't hear Lana as the teenager was just looking shy while staring down at the ground as if it was the most interesting thing in the world, she was also rubbing her left arm in a weird way.
"Lana" She turned to see her big brother Lincoln here "Hi Lincoln" She enthusiastically waved at her older brother who actually seemed happy to see her.
"Good someone to take the awkward moment around here" Lincoln thought to himself glad that someone was able to break the awkward silence in the area "Hey Lana want to meet our new neighbor" He said.
"Neighbor why would I want that?" While Lana started talking she didn't notice a person walking behind her until she felt a tap on the shoulder and turned around "Wha- She froze in her place while she stared at the stranger for a few seconds just analyzing the face.
The stranger was currently kneeling right in front of her with his face staring right in her face. Her eyes move from his whiskers then to his blue eyes and after that was just staring at his face again "Hi there I'm Naruto" Naruto said with a smile that would soothe the most vicious animal and that was one with the wind.
Did I also mention his hair was flowing into an invisible wind in the area.
Lana doesn't know why but she felt her cheeks grow warm, she shook her head from that weird feeling. She opened her mouth to say something but then closed it only for her to open again until finally she managed to say something "Ba… Ba.. Ba….Ba.. " Naruto raised an eyebrow as his whisker subconsciously twitched.
Lincoln blinked at the twitching whisker marks "They are real" He whispered out with slightly opened eyes meanwhile a certain cat was nearby them laying near the front door, it was staring at Naruto with curiosity just wondering what a fellow cat was doing here.
It thinks Naruto is part of the family since he smells like one but unknown to the cat it was actually the traces of a fox scent on Naruto that it had mistaken for a cat's own.
"Another one of Lincoln's sisters?" Naruto thought to himself before he felt a pair of hands touching his face, he snapped out of his thoughts to see the young girl who Lincoln called Lana earlier was now rubbing his whisker marks in a daze like state.
Naruto chuckled since this wasn't the first time that kids found his whisker marks interesting, he doesn't know much about it himself except the fact that he was born with them to begin with. Thinking back he wonders about the time when he grew up boys his age would scowl and looks at him saying things like 'Freak' or 'Fox creep', he was of course hurt about it but then got over it when girls come out over to cheer him up "I always wonder why girls are nicer to me" He thought to himself. Boys would be mean to him while girls would throw affection onto him and make him feel better.
Wow genders are extremely hard to work with here.
"I see you like my whisker marks Lana" Naruto joked while said girl was blushing out of embarrassment and quickly moving her hands away from Naruto's face then back to her sides "U-Um Hi" Lana said with an awkward smile on her face.
Naruto nodded back at her with a smile of his own "Nice to meet you too" He said before he got off the ground and looked towards Lincoln "Hey Lincoln" Naruto paused when he saw a confused expression on Lincoln "You okay?".
Unfortunately Lincoln didn't hear Naruto since he was having his own thoughts "What's going on here?" he saw a weird look on Lana when she looked at Naruto.
That look was very familiar to him since he always gave the same look to Ronnie An- He stopped thinking there before also noting down Lori's looks. Even now he could see that Lori is occasionally glancing at Naruto just to grow red in the face then look away "Hm" He glanced at his mother to see her acting strangely as well.
He shrugged nonetheless but right now he has to make his guest meet his family fast so they could get on to the study lesson "Hey Naruto" Lincoln called out.
He turned to the place that Naruto was at "Huh" He blinked because Naruto and Lana wasn't there anymore "Hey Lana you want a cookie?" he heard Naruto said and turned to see Naruto sitting on the couch waving a chocolate chip cookie in front of his little sister… who was on his lap.
Lincoln had to hold in a laugh when he saw how red his sisters face was, the color of her face reminds him of Luan's red clown nose but even redder.
Lana shyly nodded as she reached for the cookie slowly but stopped when Naruto gently grabbed her hand. She titled her head upward to him when she felt him rub her head in a caring manner over her cap, even though the cap was blocking the feeling of his hand on her head she could still feel the warmth that accompanied it.
"Here let me do that for you" Naruto whispered softly, bringing the cookie to her mouth, Lana was really starting to blush but with a small amount of hesitation she opened her mouth as the cookie touched her lips. She then started to slowly munch on it, Lori was staring at Naruto with a dreamy smile before she thought of something that made her cheeks glow.
"He is really good at taking care of children" In her mind instead of picturing Bobby she pictured herself and Naruto smiling together while holding a bunch of little Lilly's "Hwaaaa" She internally squealed with both hands on her cheeks. Her eyes sparkled at just the thought of her and Naruto having a big family together in her fantasy.
"That's sweet" Rita cooed watching the guest feed a cookie to her daughter and apparently her daughter was also liking the action very much due to the cheerful smile on her face.
After a few mulches the cookie was gone "So how was it Lana?" Naruto asked, he couldn't see right now that she was smiling widely "I-it's alright" She then squealed when Naruto have her a big hug which made her keep squeaking at the sudden action. "You're adorable you know that" Naruto stated in amusement when he watched the little loud wiggle under his embrace.
"No i-im not, I uh… like mud" She quickly said trying not to think of Naruto's kind words but she wasn't ready for what the blonde boy was about to say "Well then… " Lana found herself staring at Naruto's clear blue eyes "I guess you are an adorable mud princess" To others it may seem like a joke but even Lana could tell that Naruto was telling it in the most sweetest way as possible.
Lana was surprised yet touched at Naruto's words. Most of the time people would compare her with her perfect 'Princess Like Twin' and she was tired of it.
"Lana you're messy"
"Why couldn't you act like your sister?"
"Jeez that girl needs to learn some manners"
"The weird girl likes mud like ewww"
She was indeed tired of people comparing her to her twin. Only her family doesn't care for who she is but here is another person but a stranger who doesn't care if she likes to sleep with animals or play in the mud and especially to be called a princess instead of 'Mud Girl'.
That was.
That was..
That was…
The most kindest thing a person could say to her.
Naruto grew a worried frown when he saw Lana bend her head down a bit making the red cap on her head gather shadow in her eyes "Lana?" Lana didn't respond until she suddenly shifted in Naruto's arm, when she lifted her head however none of the others weren't expecting this next.
Lana quickly hugged Naruto tightly but before Naruto responded Lana gave a quick peck onto Naruto's right cheek and then pulled back "T-Thank you Naruto" Lana whispered out with a cute smile on her face that showed that she was thankful for what Naruto said.
"…. Did not see that coming" Lincoln said looking on at the scene with wide eyes "How about you guys" Lincoln turned to his mom and sister to see them cooing at the two blondes who were now hugging.
"I guess she likes hugs" Naruto said in his mind, returning the hug with as much affection that a person could give to a kids ever "Hey guys do we like have a sheep" he then heard a voice coming from upstairs just like the others. The others started looking at the stairs but Lana didn't move from her spot on Naruto's lap even going as far to snuggle deeper into his chest.
She could see what's up or going on later on but for now however…
She is going to enjoy the new warmth that came into the Loud House.
