Hey all readers.

I know it is taking a while for me to write this story but in my defence I have had tons of coursework to do.

I hope you enjoy this chapter.

New arrivals

The day after me and Naruto kissed Ino wouldn't shut up. She kept going on about how I had found someone who could deal with my temper. Lexi got the brute force of my temper though she didn't seem to care all she did was laugh and just go back to what she was doing which was either training Ren or talking to Gaara. Not that she had much to talk about as Gaara kissed her on the cheek this morning. That surprised everyone. Temari even asked if he was feeling okay.

I still hadn't had any sort of reply from the other princes and princesses that hopefully would actually come. In each letter I had put the story in that Kagome had told us and a picture of each of their past selves. Though I have to admit they might have thought I was crazy.

Kagome was still shocked after seeing Layla. She paled every time she saw Ren, but what could Ren do. She could just about now eat meat the size of a pocket watch, she wouldn't be able to take a bite from her. Though the bite would still be painfal she did have teeth after all. Ren right now was having a snuggle session with Ino and Temari. They couldn't seem to get enough of her but if Gaara and Lexi did end up together I felt sorry for Ren. She would be forever be attacked by Temari wanted to hold and stroke her. Though the thought gave me shudders.

The day seemed to go by as normal as it could possibly be until Lexi started to get annoyed and cranky.

"For gods sake Lexi shut up" Shikamaru couldn't take it anymore "Why are girls such a drag?" uh oh I wouldn't have said that Shikamaru your gonna get attacked. My prediction came true.

"Shut up Shikamaru" Lexi had stood up walked over grabbed Shikamaru's collar and lifted him of the ground. "All I can smell and sense is a bloody mutt" and she though him through the wall. There was a nice Shikamaru shaped hole, even with a spiky pony tail, right next to the door. Hm if she mentioned a dog that must mean there is one near by. Oh yeah cats hate dogs.

'Well duh, dogs and cats clash like water and fire' my inner yelled at me.

"What type of mutt, Lexi?" Naruto questioned. Lexi seemed to glare at him put that was because she was cringing, she even grabbed her nose.

"Someone invited an Inuzuka and his mutt here" She stated. "And the dog smells bad enough but now I have the owner as well" oops. My fault. I just grinned it meant he got my letter and it could also count as my revenge against her for telling Ino me and Naruto kissed. Pay backs a bitch. This was my pay back as the closer our new guest came closer the more agony Lexi was in. Mainly her nose. Not that I let it show that I was enjoying it.

After another 30 minutes of poor agony for Lexi he finally arrived. When Kiba Inuzuka and great big white dog came through the front door. The disgust on his face meant he knew Lexi was here to. I had hoped it would go soothingly well but the dog saw Ren and ran after which led to Lexi chucking the dog back out the door and Kiba and Lexi getting into and all out fight. When they had finally calmed down we all sat around the dining room table. Ren sat on the table out of reach of the dog.

"Why did you have to invite the him and the mutt?" Lexi complained.

"Your one to talk why does there have to be a cat here?" Kiba shot back and the fight started again. I then saw Temari, Ino and Naruto writing things down on paper that looked like a tally.

I walked over to them and there was indeed a tally with Lexi and Kiba's name written down at the moment it was.

Lexi: 1

Kiba: 0

"What are you lot doing?" I asked. They all looked at me but then Kiba was thrown out the room and Lexi got another point. Making it

Lexi: 2

Kiba: 0

"Out of all the time that Kiba is staying here we are going to see who wins each fight. I bet on Lexi winning" Temari told me. "Naruto and Sasuke bet on Kiba. Ino, Gaara and Shikamaru bet one Lexi as well"

"Your betting on who is a stronger fighter" I said shocked "You do realise if they find out they will both kill you all"

"There to caught up in each other to notice" Shikamaru said "Cats and dogs are very territorial so they feel threatened by each other and there for will carry on fighting. Who do you think would win Sakura?" I thought of refusing but then I though about what Lexi could do without using nin or genjutsu.

"Lexi" I said.

"Good choice" Shikamaru said pleased with my answer "Kiba doesn't have a chance in hell. Yeah he might get a few points but she will get him back twice as bad"

That's how the bet started. Over the next couple of days points were added to each of them. I was still waiting for news of the others arriving but Lexi and Kiba seemed to keep things lively around the place. After the first night Kiba had turned Lexi's hair rainbow coloured. It was an interesting morning with Lexi glaring at anyone who tried to comment or even mention her hair. Naruto and Sasuke were pretty confident at that moment but then Lexi took back the lead. Without anyone noticing Lexi had put lots of laxatives in Kiba's drink and food. which is obvious what happened to Kiba but she also turned his dog, Akamaru's fur pink. She did this while Kiba was occupied with her first payback. It was going backwards and forwards with funny harmless pranks like letting of stink bombs, maggots in the bed, buckets of goo falling on their heads etc.

That until Kiba crossed the line. We all knew it was to far what he did. Ren had gone missing and all that Lexi could track from where Ren was, is her throwing up lots of garlic. We all knew it was Kiba as he was smirking when Lexi was getting really worried and scared, since garlic is poisonous to cats. Ino and Temari were looking everywhere more than the others and myself. Even Sasuke was looking for her. Looks like the little cub had become a member of the family with everyone.

A day after Ren had gone missing Kiba came up to her and did something no one would have expected from him. He apologised. He started to help looking for the lost kitten. Luckly that day we had two new arrivals. Neji and Hinata Hyuuga. Neji didn't really seem bothered with what we were doing but Hinata helped us. Today was the first day I was glad the Byakugan existed. Hinata managed to find Ren in the forest. Lexi all but dragged Hinata to move quicker to show her where Ren was. Ren was in a little hole all curled up, looking very cute but was very ill. When we arrived back Lexi gave her a tree leaf called Ginkgo Biloba.

After 2 hours Ren was fine and with Kiba's apology it meant that the bet was finished with the final scoring of:

Lexi: 16

Kiba: 9

Hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Ginkgo Biloba is a real and it does have health property's.
