Chapter 10
As Ken woke up he found that he was being cradled by someone. As he looked up he saw that it was Kyuubi, her red hair fell in waves surrounding them.
"I'm so very sorry." She said simply.
"Don't be its not your fault. The Guralians are being led by the hand by an evil man. They are good people but they have fallen from the path and I must lead them back to it." Ken said sitting up.
"Will you come down stairs?" Kyuubi asked also getting up.
"Yea sure." Ken said.
As they walked down the stairs they herd the phone ring. The phone was on a t able at the bottom of the stairs so Ken jumped to the bottom and landed lightly on his feet.
"Hello." He said as he picked up the phone. "Hey Jen." He paused while the other person on the phone spoke. "Wait what. What did they want?" The person on the other end didn't talk for long this time. "Crap." Ken said. "Right thanks for the warning Jen. Bye." Ken put the phone down.
"Is everything ok?" Kyuubi asked.
"No, things just got a lot more complicated." He replied.
"Ok well everyone is in the kitchen making dinner. I hope you don't mind I suggested that they get dinner started for when you wake up." Kyuubi said.
"Thank you. That's great." He said sincerely.
"So what was that phone call about?" Kyuubi asked.
"My friend Jen is my only friend, from this dimension, that I have told about my powers and the FBI discovered that I have powers because they monitored the shockwave that I produced that killed several demons that were chasing me a few months back." Ken explained. "She was telling me that they came looking for me and they came to talk to her, it seems that they want me to help them with something, something to do with advanced technology no doubt." He then waked into the kitchen.
There was a wonderful aroma coming from the food they were cooking.
"Wow whatever that is it smells great."Ken said as he walked over to the side to see what was being cooked. The cupboards had been full of loads of ingredients so it wasn't surprising that there was a vast array of food.
"Can anybody here make ramen?" Naruto asked.
"Not well." Was the slightly embarrassed response from Hinata who seemed to be the best cook. Sakura was a modest cook and Sasuke wasn't too bad either. Shino couldn't cook well so he was left to chop vegetables. While Naruto couldn't cook at all so he wasn't allowed near the food, unless he was eating it of course.
"I can." Ken said smiling.
"Wow you seem happier then before." Sakura said looking over at him.
"Yea I feel freer. I guess the repressed feelings I had from when I was small were keeping me from being happy, I must have thought that all the happiness I got would end up being destroyed and the people I care about would be hurt or killed like my mother." Ken said rolling up his sleeves and started to help get the meal sorted.
An hour later they were putting all the food on the table ready to eat when the doorbell rang. I'll get it." Naruto shouted so they knew that it was taken care off.
"Is Kenpei in please?" Came a voice from the door.
"Yea. Can I ask who is asking?" Naruto asked.
"Agent Murphy and Agent Jackmen, FBI." One of the men said holding out an ID card.
"Ok. Ken there's some guys from the FBI here to see you." Naruto yelled in the direction of the dinning room.
As Naruto walked back into the dinning room ken walked to the front door.
"What do you want?" Ken asked the 2 men, they both wore black suites and black sunglasses.
"We need to talk to you about your abilities." One of them said.
"What are you talking about?" Ken said faking stupidity.
"Don't act stupid we already know that you have powers and abilities that are far beyond what any normal human can do." The other one said.
"What do you want?" Ken asked again knowing that he wouldn't be able to get away with acting stupid.
"We want you to help us." The one on the right said.
"With what?" Ken asked.
"Technology and abilities." The one on the left answered.
Ken just laughed. "You have got to be kidding." Ken said. "If you think that I would ever give you technology, then you are sadly mistaken."
"Why not. If you give us the information that we seek then you will have a life of luxury and comfort a life in which you will get all your hearts content." The one on the right said trying to persuade him.
"I'm content enough with the life I already lead." Ken said. "So if you don't mind I'm going to go have lunch with my friends." At this he closed the door and walked back into the dinning room.
"What did they want?" Naruto asked.
"Just as I thought they wanted the knowledge about my technology and abilities." Ken answered.
"And you said…" Naruto asked.
"I told them were to stick it." Ken said simply. He sat down at the table and they all began to eat.
After an hour all the food was gone and the group were talking happily.
"By the way Hinata do you know were your sleeping while you're here?" Ken asked.
"I was wondering if I could stay with Naruto in your room." Hinata asked.
"Fine with me." Ken said.
"By the way do you guys actually have any clothes or anything at all?" Ken asked.
"Actually that's a thought. No we don't all our stuff is back in the lab." Tsunade said.
"Then we'll just have to go buy you some more." Ken said.
"But we have no money. It was with the rest of the stuff back in the lab." Hinata stated.
"Don't worry. I easily have enough for you all to have proper clothes and hygiene things like shampoo and toothbrushes and toothpaste." Ken explained. "Do you want to leave now or get them tomorrow?" He asked.
"I think now would be best." Tsunade answered.
"Alright then. Let's clear all this up and then we can set off." Ken
10 minutes later the group was walking out the door and Ken noticed a black car across the street.
"Alright everyone we'll be going into the city centre so don't attract too much attention to yourself. There is also the fact that the black car across the street is the 2 FBI agents from before and they will probably have people following us. But don't look over, we don't want them to realise that we know what they are up to." Ken said.
"Right, so were are we of to first?" Naruto asked.
"Well I was thinking maybe we should get some new clothes first." Sakura said.
"Ok then. Clothes shops it is then." Ken said to the group.
A few minutes later they were all walking down a path that had about 6 clothes shops.
"Ok then which shop shall we go into first." Ken said.
"Why don't we start at the first shop then move on to the one next door and so on." Tsunade suggested.
"Fine by me." Ken replied.
"Then that's what we'll do." Naruto said cheerfully.
They walked into the shop.
"Ok you lot this is what we'll do. If you like something try it on and if you still want it then keep hold of it, we'll meet back here in 20 minutes." Ken said. "Is 20 minutes enough time? Well if we need more then we can always just go back in."
The group then split up Naruto went with Ken, Sakura went with Hinata and Tsunade and Shino went with Sasuke.
20 minutes later they all had a small pile of clothes with them.
"Is this everything that you guys want?" He asked the group. They all nodded and Ken led them to the till and paid for it all on his credit card.
"How much money do you have on that card?" Tsunade asked.
"About £13,000.00." Ken answered.
The rest of the evening went much the same way. They spent their time buying things they would need for their stay, until they could find a way to get back home to their own dimension. But first it had been decided that they were going to help Ken with the problems that he was facing. That and the fact that Kyuubi wanted to spend some time with her grandson.
Ken was currently laughing with the rest of the group as Sakura was telling stories about Naruto and the simple missions that he had made a mess of. They were rather funny. To top it of his competitive nature with Sasuke had made him more reckless, which made it all the more funny.
Suddenly Ken turned in his seat and glared at the man on the table behind him.
"You know if you're trying to follow us and stay indiscrete then your failing miserably." Ken said smiling evilly.
"W-what are you talking about?" The man replied trying to throw the suspicion away and change the subject at the same time.
"Don't try changing the subject, you're an FBI agent that has been following us because you were told too by the 2 agents that came to my house and talked to my friend about me." Ken said simply. "And now you are going to listen." He said leaning in. "You are going to leave both me and all of my friends alone and if I even get a whiff that you have been talking to my friends and have been trying to get information on me… you WILL regret it. That I promise you." Ken then turned around. "I think we should go back home." He said to the group. They all nodded in their agreement.
15 minutes later they were walking through the door into Ken's house. They were all carrying many bags that were all completely full of clothes and other things.
"Maybe we should put all this stuff away." Hinata said.
"Good idea there is a wardrobe in each of the rooms that you are staying in." Ken told the group. "Naruto, Hinata there is a spare wardrobe in my room that you can use."
"Thanks Ken." Hinata said.
"Oh by the way don't worry about my parents just yet. My mum is away at a convention for the hospital that she is a surgeon at and wont be back for a week and my dad is staying a his mums because she isn't feeling too good. I gave him a potion that should have her up and running in about 3 days but he has to stay there to make sure that she drinks it, it doesn't taste very nice but it helps you recover from many things.
"So what we all doing then?" Hinata asked.
"Well I don't need to run anymore errands and it's already 9:30 so what do you all want to do?" Ken asked.
"Watch a movie!" Came the hyperactive yell from Sakura that was really, really hyper.
"Sigh you bought that energy drink that was loaded with caffeine and sugar, didn't ya?" Ken said, asking the rhetorical question, as it was obvious that she had.
At this Sakura just nodded her head vigorously.
"Didn't I tell you not to get it?" Ken asked her. Although it was fairly obvious that she had as she was literally bouncing off the wall.
"YEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEP." Was the hyperactive reply that came from the kunoichi as she stopped bouncing from wall to wall.
"You know what?" Ken said grabbing hold of Sakura's wrists, gently but firmly. "You're not having that drink ever again."
At this she just pouted innocently, getting an annoyed sigh from Ken as he released her and made his way to the kitchen to get some crisps and snacks for a film night as Naruto, Hinata, Sasuke and Sakura picked a film to watch from the DVD collection that Ken had.
When Ken returned from the kitchen he was holding a tray filled with food and there were 6 big packets of crisps, 3 different types of dip in dishes for them to share, 5 bowls of sweets, and 5 2 litre bottles, all of them were floating round his head they then smoothly floated to the coffee table that Sasuke had moved to be in front of the sofa.
On the wall opposite there was a large flat screen TV on the wall and a DVD player and sound system set up to the TV. As Ken walked over to the shocked shinobi he noticed that they all had a DVD each. This is gunna be a long night. Ken thought as he smiled.
"H-how did you do that?" Sakura asked, she was presently on the roof with the chakra focused on her feet so that she wouldn't fall and land on her head.
"Simple telekinesis." Ken replied. "So which film are we watching firs?" Ken asked. This shocked them out of their awkward stares that were directed at him.
"This one." They all shouted at once holding the DVD's they held out to him.
The collection included:
Blood and Chocolate from Tsunade;
Alien Vs Predator from Naruto;
Serenity from Sasuke;
Love Actually from Hinata;
Bridget Jones's Diary from Sakura;
And The Day After Tomorrow from Shino.
"I think we should watch Blood and Chocolate first." Ken said.
4 hours later and it was 2 in the morning, they had watched Blood and Chocolate, they had all liked it. They had also watched Love Actually which was from Ken's mums selection of DVD's along with Bridget Jones's Diary. The girls had liked that film and Hinata had snuggled up to Naruto and Sakura had snuggled up to Sasuke, Shino had watched with stoic expression, as usual, Ken liked the film so he had enjoyed it.
"Ok you lot put the next one on I'm just gunna go make sure the house is locked up tight." Ken said rising to his feet.
"But you already did that." Naruto said.
"Yeah but I have a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach, so I'm gunna go make sure they are locked." Ken explained.
As Ken walked around the house checking the locks the feeling in the pit of his stomach grew more intense. I have a really bad feeling about th… as he was thinking this he walked into the bathroom to check the window and found that it was wide open. SHIT. Was the only thing that he could think as any tiredness in his body suddenly vanished.
As he raced down the stairs he could only hope that he was wrong and one of the group had opened it to let some fresh air into the place. Although they wouldn't have left it open as people could easily slip in through an open window.
"Did any of you open the window in the small window in the upstairs bathroom?" Ken asked urgently as he burst through the open doorway. The group looked up at him surprised. They all shook their heads as Ken looked from one to the other.
"This is bad." Ken said simply and they all understood what he meant. THERE WAS SOMEONE IN THE HOUSE THAT SHOULDN'T BE THERE. SOMEONE WAS WATCHING THEM WAITING FOR A MOMENT TO STRIKE.
