Tokashi stayed quiet, thinking over what her demon had just told her.

"..... I'm sorry.... Is that even.... Possible?"

"It is, actually." The creature cackled, tossing her head back at the mortals shock. Tokashi ignored her laughter, flipping to the next page in the book. Her eyes began to read the paragraphs. She slowly flipped another page, then another, and continued to read on. When she finally reached the next chapter in the book, she stopped and turned back to a specific page. She placed her finger at the beginning of one sentence and trailed down the line, obviously searching for something.

Her lips mouthed the words as she looked it over for a while. Yamatatsu during this quiet time sat and watched the girl with a smirk on her lips. Her white eyes looked at the words and snickered.

"Surprised or confused, kitsune?" The demon asked Tokashi. The teen didn't reply but continued to study the sentence.

"What does this mean? Do you know?" Yamatatsu took the book, reading the page as well. The spirit stayed silent for a few minutes as she skimmed over the whole chapter.

"All I can say is this person must have been a good spy. This story tells more things then even I could tell....... Stupid flesh bags, taking our secrets and sharing them in something like this."

With that, Yama slammed the book shut and tossed it onto the bed. Tokashi growled at her. The kitsune stood and snatched it up again. The demon on the other side of the room sighed dramatically, flopping her arms over the sides of the chair in a bored stance. This made Tokashi look up and glare at her.

"I can't believe this is boring to you..." The human grumbled to the other. Yamatatsu opened one eye and looked at her blankly.

"Seriously... Reading something you've technically already read isn't the most fun in the world."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I already know everything that's in there." The demon exclaimed. She stopped her talking as Tokashi lost interest, looking back down and becoming silent once more. Yamatatsu rolled her eyes. Why again did she get stuck with such a nosey kitsune? The creature got up and looked outside. Her white eyes squinted at the bright light that streamed threw the curtains.

"We should rap this up, kitsune. Your little group will knock anytime now." She turned and suddenly vanished. Tokashi cocked an eyebrow, then gasped when a wind, most likely Yamatatsu, rushed threw her body and knocked her to the floor. The book fell onto the carpet next to her legs.

"Get up, kitsune! I hear someone coming!" The demon screamed at her. The girl picked herself up off the floor just in time to see Arichi step in, carrying with him Naruto. Tokashi smiled pleasantly at her Ni-san. The boy, in return, stared with confusion at her.

"I didn't know you got up this early, Tokashi?" The ebony haired male asked her questioningly. Tokashi laughed nervously, kicking the book back behind the chair. She then sat down swiftly, switching out the lamp next to her. Arichi thankfully seemed to shrug off her weird act and sit down on her bed,

"Well...... I was thinking......" The brown eyed boy mumbled, a pink tint covering his cheeks. Tokashi cocked an eyebrow at the man in front of her.

"Yes?...."

"Well...... Maybe we could like...... It thought maybe we should.... You know, spend more time together..... Brother sister bonding time.. maybe?" Arichi looked down, rubbing the back of his head.

Tokashi's blue eyes lit up in excitement. Her body launched up and grabbed the others wrist excitedly, dragging him off the bed and out the door. Arichi blinked in confusion again, wondering if she was about to throw him over the railing or was happy and excepting his request.

"Umm.... Is that a yes?"

"Well duh!? Where do you wanna go?" The red headed female asked, scrambling down the apartment stairs. The two happened to pass by Kakashi and Shirani on their way. Arichi blushed as the older male chuckled at him. Naruto squealed happily and waved his small arms in the air. Tokashi laughed to as they ran threw the streets.

"Ummm..... You wanna eat breakfast first or something?" Arichi tried to say as he stumbled after his little sister. This question made the teenager grin again, changing her direction and running towards another shop. The boy gasped as Tokashi suddenly stopped at the restaurant.

"Tokashi......," Arichi panted, "...... Where.... Did you drag... Me?"

"It's a surprise. I think you'll like it though." The girl brought her hunched over relative inside and sat down at the nearest empty table. She took Naruto into her arms immediately and started teasing him with her index finger. The blond infant laughed and tried to grab the body part wiggling around in his face. Tokashi finally let him snatch up her finger, telling Arichi what she wanted to order and returning to her playing.

Arichi nodded slowly and told the waitress their drinks, admiring his sister all the while. The red head looked up into his chocolate eyes, asking him silently what he was doing. The male looked away with a smile. He knew the trouble she had gone through just to take care of that child even though he didn't belong to her. Honestly, he would have left the kid to die, seeing that a baby would slow his traveling down and cause him to buy more things for it.

"Hey, Tokashi?"

"Hm?"

"Where did you find that kid? Sorry to intrude, but it's been a weight on my mind for some time now." Tokashi sighed and looked at the ceiling in thought. Arichi waited for his answer, which sadly never came out of the kitsune's mouth. The waitress had returned with their drinks and had stopped the younger female from explaining it to him. They told her what they wanted to eat and she was gone the next second.

"How about I tell you later. You know, when it isn't so loud?" His sister said to him, eyeing the people chattering around them. He nodded, ears slowly bending back.

"Yea..... Later..." He mumbled, placing his elbows on the table and resting his face in his hands. His eyes began to wonder around the place in boredom. Arichi sighed quietly, enjoying not having to run around all day long. In fact, the whole group seemed to be thankful for the rest. The boy's mind came to the conclusion that they hadn't been able to stop for quite some time.

The two siblings received their meals after a few minutes of silence. Tokashi laughed as Naruto tried to eat an entire pancake at once. Arichi looked over and smiled at the blond. The child rocked his head forwards and backwards, obviously having some trouble chewing the giant up. Tokashi pulled some food out of his mouth after a while, sensing the boy wasn't going to finish it all.

Naruto pouted, still swallowing the remnants of food in his tiny mouth. Arichi paid for the three and they started off into the bustling streets again. After a few twists and turns, Tokashi spotted a small dock extending over a lake. She scrambled down the hill and ran to the end, turning and motioning Arichi to follow her. The boy made his way down the steps towards the water and sat down with his sister.

"This would be a great place to tell you." Tokashi said, grinning at the ripples her toes made in the water's surface. The neko next to her suddenly perked his ebony ears up, excited to finally hear the tale.

"Well..... It all started after my first stop... I was walking into the woods and heard someone around me. Eventually, I got the ninja to show himself and I took a chance to jam a few needles into his shoulder blade. They were poison tipped and the man died quickly afterwards. I saw him drop something that looked like a small bundle so I picked it up. Low and behold, it was Naruto. I didn't know it was him until I got a glimpse of his stomach, which for some strange reason has a mark on it."

Tokashi paused and showed Arichi the babies stomach and showed him the odd seal plastered there.

"Of course, I couldn't just leave him there all alone.... I thought it may help me, seeing I had just lost.. My girl and all...." She trailed off the subject. Her Ni-san looked at his feet, which also hung over the side of the dock.

"So thats how you met him.... What about that man? Kakashi?"

"Oh him? I found him, or should I say I ran away from him, here in Konoha. He was guarding the entrance and when I saw him coming after me I thought he was one of our clan's ninja. So I ran down an alley and got trapped... He told me he wasn't going to harm me in anyway..... So I believed him.... Ended up asking to come along and I excepted, seeing he would follow me if I didn't... Then we saved Shirani from this other guy in a nearby town who said he was ordered to kill her. She also asked to join us and we said yes..... Then.... I met you.."

The fox eared girl grinned brightly at Arichi. The boy stayed quiet, trying to piece together the parts she'd left out. It was quite a story and now he at least knew why they had wanted to rest for once.

"Thats......... Some story you have there..... and it's only beginning......." He finally told her, looking out over the water.

"Yea.... I guess you could say that's the bad part." Tokashi snickered and scooted closer to him. Naruto sat between them, glaring up at the girl and boy as they started closing in on him. He raised his arms and pushed their sides away from him. This action caused the two to gasp and look down at him. The blond kid huffed and crossed his arms, showing them his lack of interest.

Arichi laughed and ruffled the golden locks.

"Bored, Naruto?" The child glared up at him and nodded quickly. Tokashi laughed.

"Yea. This must be pretty boring to him. Lets get going, we still have lots to do." She explained to the other teen, who started to get up. The female grabbed Naruto up and trailed after her brother.
