Alright, here is the next chapter, sorry for the delay! I just haven't been much in a writing mood as of late and it's kind of sucked. In this chapter you will meet two new characters. Kenta, and Haruka. Both of them are from Japan but live in America. This chapter is rather short but I hope to have another chapter out soon.


Naruto looked up at the celling of his room while laying down on the bed and smiled, it had been near a year since he had come to live with Kiba. Every morning Naruto woke up with a smile on his face and just wanted to spend as much time with Kiba as possible; even though Kiba's job was very stressful somehow he always found time to spend with Naruto.

"Hey, Naruto you got a minute?" I turned my head away from the computer monitor and smiled at Kiba. "Sure, what's up?"

"Well, I wanted to talk to you about Christmas this year and what is going to happen." I looked at Kiba and frowned; Kiba laughed.

"It's nothing bad, you remember I've been working extra hard as of late right?" I nodded

"Well, I've been working extra hard so I could actually do something this Christmas with you." I continued to look at Kiba and started to smile.

"Oh, what did you have in mind?"

"Well, we could do a few things. We could take a trip to the coast, or we could take a small trip to somewhere else." I looked at Kiba for a minute thinking.

"The coast sounds like fun, but wouldn't it be kind of cold?" Kiba laughed.

"Well, that is why we would have to stay in a hotel, and there are few options of where we can stay." I looked up at Kiba a little confused.

"We can go on the computer in my office and check it out if you want." I nodded.


"So, who all would be coming on this trip?" As Kiba and I sat down on the couch after getting done looking at the computer.

"Well, I was hoping we could have some friends come with, I use to go to school with them and they are really nice."

I looked at Kiba for a few moments. "Sure, that sounds like fun."

"Really? You sure you're okay with other people coming along?"

"Yeah, if you trust them, I can trust them."

"Nice, I'm sure it will be nice." I smiled and the doorbell was heard, glancing at the door and then at Kiba I smiled; Kiba laughed.

"Sure, I'll get it." Kiba got up off the couch to answer the door, I grabbed the TV remote turning the TV on. Often times I would just flip through the channels and see what was on before giving up and going back to my room.


Kiba opened the door and looked at the woman standing there for a moment. "Hello?" Kiba asked trying to think of who the woman could be.

"Hello, are you Kiba Inuzuka?" Kiba continued to look at her and nodded.

"Yes, do I know you? Sorry." The woman lightly laughed.

"Hey, my name is Ino, I recently moved to the neighborhood with my son and wanted to meet some of the people living here." Kiba smiled.

"Ah okay, it's a really nice neighborhood, not much happens here and during the summer they open up the pool so it's a nice place for a family." The woman smiled.

"That's what I heard, this place looks nice and clean as well." Kiba nodded.

"Yeah, the city makes sure it stays clean, though I do like to go out and help on cleaning days." The woman looked at Kiba a little confused.

"Once during the fall some of us get together and go around cleaning up stuff, washing the houses that need it, washing cars for the older people, stuff like that." The woman smiled.

"Nice, it's rare to find a community like that." Kiba nodded.

"Yeah, it's kind of sad, makes me thankful to live here, there is a potluck tomorrow night, you should attend it to meet more of the people who live here." The woman smiled.

"That sounds like fun, I think we will go to that, I'll have to run it by my son though, he is kind of shy around new people." Kiba nodded.

"Great, well nice meeting you." The woman nodded turning away as Kiba closed the door smiling. Kiba walked back to the living room sitting back down on the couch.

"Who was at the door?" I asked glancing away from the TV to look at Kiba.

"It was some woman who just moved here with her son, wanting to get to know everybody I guess." I looked at Kiba and smiled.

"Well, I am sure they will like it here."

"So, when did you want to go to the coast?" I asked turning off the TV.

"Well, I was thinking we could go this weekend, We still need to get stuff packed, and that also gives us time to do some other things, tomorrow we are going to go the potluck so we can meet the new people and just have a good time." I nodded.

"Okay, I guess that would be okay." Kiba frowned.

"I just want you to become more comfortable around people is all, we really haven't done anything the entire year you've been living here."

"I know, I'm still just really nervous about going out and meeting people… I… I don't want to get hurt again."

"That won't happen again, as long as your living with me you won't have to deal with that." I smiled cuddling up to Kiba.

"Tell you what, we will see how tomorrow goes, and if you get too uncomfortable you can come back here and just hangout until I get back." I smiled.

"Alright, that sounds okay." I looked up at the clock on the wall and smiled.

"Hey, you want to watch Mom?" Kiba laughed.

"Sure, let me quickly go the restroom and I'll be right back."


"Hey, bolt?" Bolt looked up at his mom.

"I went around meeting a few the people here, and one of them told me about a potluck tomorrow night, I think we should go to it."

"Oh." The mom frowned.

"Bolt, I know it's hard for you to be around other people but we really need to work on it."

"I know…"

"At least try to go for a while, there will be kids there your own age and it would be good to make some new friends."

"You know how well I get along with other kids…"

"Bolt, you need to try making some friends. I don't like you being here all the time." Bolt nodded lowering his head.


"Naruto, it's time to get going to the potluck, you ready?" Kiba asked walking into Naruto's room.

"Yeah, just trying to find something to wear." Kiba laughed walking into Naruto's room.

"What you're wearing looks fine." I sighed.

"No, I want to wear something nice." Kiba laughed again.

"Okay, but you know it might just end up getting dirty." I sighed.

"Fine, I'll just put on some shorts, and a tank top." Kiba smiled. "Good, we will be leaving in a few minutes so don't take too long." Kiba said leaving the room. After finally deciding on an outfit I left my room turning off the light and walked down stairs.

"Hey, so I was thinking, maybe we could go see a movie while at the coast, I've been doing some research online and there are a few new movies showing." Kiba looked at me and smiled.

"Sure, we will need something to keep us busy, we will be there a week."

"A week, just what all do you have planned?"

"Well… There is a few things, I want us to go the aquarium, and we can go to the beach…" I smiled.

"Sounds a lot of fun, so what are your friends like?" Kiba laughed.

"Well, they are different, but they are really nice." I looked at Kiba raising an eyebrow.

"Well, mean they… they… there kind of like me." I continued to look at Kiba.

"I think you will like them, they are very fun to be around."

"Well, I hope so, are they going to stay in the same room or get their own room?"

"They will have their own room. I figured it would just be best if it was just us in a hotel room."

"Alright, I guess that makes sense."

"But, they will be hanging out in our room during the day." I nodded.


"Hey, Kenta you ready for this weekend visit?" Haruka asked.

"Yeah, I'm just finishing up some last minute work so I won't have to focus on that while I'm at the coast."

"I hear ya, I've been working really hard on school work and getting all my drawing projects done so I could just relax this weekend, how long is the vacation again?"

"We are going for a week, and meeting up with my friend Kiba. I haven't seen him in forever and it will be nice to finally have him in America."

"Oh, that's right and he's bringing his little brother right?"

"Yeah, I need to talk to you about that actually."

"Oh, what's up?"

"Well, you know how his little brother was abused by their father right?" Kenta asked looking at Haruka.

"Yeah, it's really sad to hear about that."

"Well, he's gotten a lot better about being around people, but don't get too close to him right away. Meaning let him come to you."

"Of course, I kind of expected that."
