Title:A Fox Among Wolves
Chapter 6: The Wrath of Bella
When Bella finally went to sleep, Naruto and Kyuubi decided to check their new house. A brief shunshin and they appeared in front of their new home. It was beautiful. The agent contacted one Esme Cullen to design the house and their investment was proven to be worth it.
The house can only be called a masterpiece – a 2-storey residential compound surrounded by a spacious garden that is enclosed by the surrounding forest. The walls were painted white and the wooden panels were an earthen brown. The second floor windows were bigger than the standard ones, giving the home a more open look. Deciding to explore the inside of their new home, Naruto pulled out the keys from his pants pocket and opened the front door. What greeted them exceeded all expectations. Esme Cullen is the best.
The interior was of a modern-rustic design. The color of walls was of dark brown mimicking the forests that surrounds them. The ceiling houses support beams of similar color, though somewhat darker to accentuate its looks. The floors were shined to perfection that gives of a sheen that you don't see on the walls though they were of similar hue. The living room offers a homey atmosphere though equipped with a large flat-screen television along with a large multimedia system. The white sofas were of fluffy down and the floors were covered in a texture similar to that of a Persian rug. Happy with the possibilities of relaxing in their new den, the duo proceeded to inspect the kitchen. Stainless steel cabinets and stove lined one part of the kitchen, the countertop were of white marble and the island in the middle sports an elevated coffee table that is perfect for early morning reprieves. Naruto was drooling over the prospect of making his favorites with his new kitchen.
Kyuubi, not really interested in the kitchen left Naruto behind and checked out the patio; she wasn't disappointed. She opened one of the sliding doors and looked at the swimming pool in the middle and checked out the place. The atmosphere screamed nature, except for the pool. Wooden benches adorned the grounds and a young oak tree that offers a wide shade promises a relatively wonderful nap during boring afternoons.
Naruto noticing that Kyuubi left the kitchen a while back decided to check the second floor. There were 4 rooms in total. The master's bedroom with its own bathroom equipped with a Jacuzzi, 2 bedrooms connected with an adjoining bathroom, and finally the guestroom – a slightly smaller version of the master's bedroom. All equipped with everything from beds, television, to cabinets.
Going back down, he saw Kyuubi happily snoring in one of the couches; he decided that there isn't much to do at this time of night so he decided to take a nap and plan to shop for food tomorrow.
Bella was woken up by the music coming from her new neighbor's house. She was confused at first since she didn't notice any movers or trucks yesterday to inform them that their neighbors have arrived. Thinking that they must have arrived in the middle of the night, Bella shrugged and rolled off her bed and planned what to do for today. Listening to the music, she recognized the song as the piece that her brother Nathan loved. It was a piece entitled River Flows in You by Yiruma. She was gripped with a heavy bout of loneliness as she listened to the song, reminding her of the fun times she had with his surrogate brother, and of course, the lovable plushy fox named Kyuubi. Wiping the tears that threatened to fall down her face, she went to the bathroom to do her morning ritual and prepare breakfast for her dad.
After readying breakfast, Bella decided to greet her new neighbors with some blueberry muffins fresh out of the oven. Somewhat happy with the thought of welcoming the new addition to the neighborhood, Bella prepared the ingredients needed for the recipe and proceeded to do just that.
Charlie woke up to the smell of breakfast. But what caught his attention was the smell of Bella's blueberry muffins. He was immediately awake and a smile made its way to his face. Bella only makes her special muffins when she's happy. He went to the bathroom and prepared for work, relieved that Bella is finally out of her funk.
Bella was busy preparing a basket of muffins when Charlie walked into the kitchen with a happy grin on his face. Confused at her father's odd morning behavior, and it was odd considering that Charlie was never a morning person, she decided to break the ice by greeting his dad "Good Morning, Charlie. What got you so happy this morning." Moving to the coffee maker and pouring her dad a steaming mug as his morning routine.
"Oh, nothing. Woke up this morning feeling happy for some reason." He took a sip of his coffee and eyed the muffins Bella set on the table for him to enjoy. "So, what's the occasion? You don't usually make your special muffins during breakfast." Charlie asked her daughter, aiming to find out her daughter's mood.
Bella gave her dad a small smile and answered "I don't know dad. I woke up this morning feeling down but when I heard the music from our new neighbor, I decided to welcome them to the fold by baking them some muffins." Charlie grinned. This wasn't unusual for Bella. She usually goes out of her way to make people special, which makes her special as well.
"Well, don't let me stop you. Go right ahead and welcome our new neighbors" Charlie waved her daughter off as he picked up the morning paper.
Finishing up the basket of muffins, she picked it up and went out the front door. "See you later dad, there's some muffins in the counter that you can bring to the station for your officers to enjoy." With that, she closed the door and left her dad to demolish his breakfast in peace.
Bella reached her new neighbor's house without problems. The music of her friend still playing inside, she marveled at the design of the place. It screamed rich. Hoping against hope that her neighbors aren't stuck up as most rich people are, she drew in a deep breath and pressed the doorbell.
At first no one answered, she pressed the doorbell again and this time she heard a thud and footsteps. Hoping that she didn't wake up the neighbors, she put up a smile on her face and waited for her neighbor to answer the door. After a few minutes, the door opened revealing a sleepy blond with blue eyes. "Yes? How can I help you?" her friend Nathan blearily asked, sleep still laced on this voice.
Bella, woke up from her shock, did the only thing that made sense to her at this time… she screamed.
Charlie was busy demolishing the muffins Bella made while checking out the latest news on the papers. He was about to take a sip of his coffee when he heard Bella scream. He immediately scrambled out, picking his trusty shotgun from the living room, and dashed to Bella's aid.
Bella was still screaming when he arrived and the blond on the front door was covering his ears. He was about to yell 'Freeze' when Bella did something that she hadn't done before. She tackled the blond to the floor.
Naruto was woken up by someone at the door. He ignored it at first thinking that there shouldn't be anyone paying him a visit since they just got here. Trying to go back to sleep, the visitor pressed the doorbell again dispelling his effort to sleep. He rolled off and fell to the floor with a loud yelp. He slowly stood up rubbing his sore head after its collision with the floor and dazedly walked to the front door to see who it is.
He opened the door, not bothering to register who it was and said "Yes? How can I help you?" hoping to find out what the visitor need so he can go back to sleep. He was finally woken from his state when the visitor screamed from the top of her lungs. He covered his ears trying to salvage his poor eardrums and was suddenly tackled to the floor by the visitor.
Finally awake, he looked at the person and recognized Bella's hair. "Bella?"
Bella, still can't believe that she is hugging her friend, just kept on hugging while sobbing at the same time.
Naruto, not knowing what to do raised his hand to try to hug her but a voice interrupted him "Don't you dare lay a hand on my daughter. Raise your hand in the air and don't move."
Seeing the shotgun at the hands of the stranger, he immediately raised his hands in the air not wanting to aggravate him further and avoid Bella getting hurt.
Bella hearing her dad threatening Nathan snapped out of her daze and finally released Naruto from her grip and looked at her dad with a large grin on her face. "Dad! Nathan's here!"
Charlie, knowing about Nathan just looked at the blond and trying to match him up with his daughter's description of him. Blond hair, check. Blue eyes, check. Foxy grin, check. Yep. That's Nathan alright. Nodding to her daughter, he immediately lowered his shotgun and offered his hand to the boy, which Naruto took immediately and hoisted him up. "Sorry about that son, police training kicked in when my daughter screamed." He confessed sheepishly.
Naruto just gave him his trademark grin, waved his hand at the apology and said "Nothing to worry about Mr. Swan. I would do the same if I were in your shoes. Glad to finally meet you. Bella told me a lot of things about you when we talked over the phone." Shaking Charlie's hand.
Charlie was about to answer when a red furry object jumped from behind Nathan and crashed onto Bella. He was suddenly on alert but when he heard a purr coming from Bella's hands, he looked over her daughter's shoulder and saw a red fox being scratched by her daughter and getting a contented purr in the process.
Bella, seeing her dad's questioning look, introduced the fox. "Dad, I want you to meet Kyuubi. Isn't he the cutest thing? Kyuubi, this is my dad Charlie." Charlie grunted not knowing what to say to the fox and Kyuubi just yipped in acknowledgement.
Naruto amused at the interaction, coughed to catch their attention "Why don't we step into the living room so we can talk while we make ourselves comfortable." Seeing both nod, Naruto led the way into his home.
Both Bella and Charlie was amazed by the design of the place and it screamed RICH. They were led to the living room where Charlie was checking out the entertainment system and thinking about possibly asking Nathan to share his living room during the games. Billy would certainly love it.
After taking their seats, Bella decided to break the ice. "So Nathan, what are you doing here in Forks? Don't take me wrong. I'm happy that you're here but I want to know WHY you're here."
Naruto scratched the back of his head looking embarrassed decided to explain himself to Bella "Well, when you left, I was a bit of a wreck. I holed myself up in my room for a month and wallowed in depression. After a month, Kyuubi here decided that enough was enough. She went straight into my room and gave me a whooping I'll never forget. After getting my ass handed to me by the vixen, I realized that if Bella wasn't coming back to Phoenix, I decided that I'll bring myself to Fork." He finished with a grin.
Both Charlie and Bella was shocked at the confession. Charlie never expected the familial relationship between Bella and Nathan to be this deep. Sure they consider themselves brother and sisters, but seeing Nathan sacrifice his life in Phoenix, packed up, and moved down to Forks just to be with Bella made him happy that his daughter finally have someone to show her affections with – in a family way of course.
Bella on the other hand was slowly tearing up at the confession of her friend. She never expected Nathan to feel devastated when she left. Sure she was assuming that Nathan would be ok in a few days after her departure and expected him to be his usual cheerful self. He even sounded happy when they talked on the phone. She realized that Nathan hid his sadness when they talked and she felt happy realized Nathan's deep love for her. Now, Nathan surprised her even more by moving out here in the middle of nowhere just to be with her. She was filled with happiness at this moment that she threw Kyuubi to a startled Charlie and tackled Nathan in a hug, which he happily returned.
After calming down and doing some catching up, Bella finally asked something that has been bothering her since she found out that Nathan is taking up residence here "So Nathan, I've been meaning to ask you, why are you living in this house?"
Naruto, seemingly confused at her question just looked at her blankly and answered "Uhhh because it's my house."
Bella's brain shut down for a moment before rebooting "What do you mean it's YOUR house? This place is huge and it must have cost millions!"
Naruto, still oblivious to her train of thought, corrected her "20 million dollars actually, give or take. Have to pay double to make sure that this place gets finished faster than having to wait for years to get it done. I expected more actually but I guess the price is a bit cheap considering that Esme Cullen offered her services for free."
Both Charlie and Bella were flabbergasted with the casual mention of 20 million dollars as if it was cheap change. Bella looked at Nathan with narrowing eyes "Nathan, is there something you aren't telling me?" she asked in a sweet voice that immediately put Naruto on alert. Last time Naruto heard Bella used that tone was when he lied about making his homework, he regretted lying to her when she went on for hours giving him a lecture on the importance of education and homework. Naruto winced and decided to come clean.
"Ummm uhhhh imabillionaire." Naruto blurted so fast that both Charlie and Bella have to strain their eyes trying to decipher what he said.
"Would you mind repeating that Nathan? I didn't quite hear you" Bella asked in a deceptively calm voice.
Naruto mumbled "I'm a billionaire. I'm sorry" trying to sink further into the couch trying to get away from the verbal lashing he will be getting in a few seconds.
Bella just looked at him, looked around the house, looked at him again. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Naruto sighed in relief thinking that he got away from hiding stuff from his surrogate sister, he was about to say something when Bella's eyes suddenly shot open with so much fire that he might just burn from it. "YOU….. YOU…". For the next 30 minutes, Naruto got the worst end of the stick as Bella ranted and raved at him for hiding this and having to spend millions of dollars just so that he can come to Forks and be with her. She continued her tongue lashing that he can just stay with them and Charlie since they have extra rooms and so on.
Charlie on the other hand was trying not to laugh from Nathan's predicament and amazed at her daughter's vocabulary. He never thought that Bella have it in her to shout and rant for half an hour straight without stopping. He could have sworn that Bella didn't take in oxygen as she ranted. Trying to save Nathan from further embarrassment, he made a mistake by interrupting "Ummm Bella…". He didn't get far as Bella turned on him and he became the next object of her ranting. She berated him for bringing a shotgun just because he heard her scream and berated him that he might accidentally hurt someone with that thing. Naruto seeing that Bella's attention was diverted tried to make a run for it, he slowly stood from his seat and slowly edge his way to the front door. Seeing the sudden movement, Bella rounded on him "AND WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?"
Naruto did the only thing he could do at the moment to escape, he ran.
