Chapter Six: Home Sweet Home
GG: For this chapter, I have a few guest stars. There's Yoko Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho and Son Goku and Nataku from Saiyuki. Yep, that's about it. On with the fic!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything other than this fic and my characters, Rose and Rei.
"Okay. Class dismissed." Kakashi said.
Rei bounced over and asked, "So where are we going to stay, Kakashi-sensei?"
"Oh yeah. Forgot about that for a moment. I'll take you guys there. Follow me." As Kakashi walked away, Rei shrugged and motioned for her siblings to follow.
A few minutes later
"Here is the house your parents used to live in!" Kakashi smiled. It was a big house that was covered with all kinds of vines.
"Well, I guess the first thing we gotta do is clean up the place. You take care of it, Rose. You're good with plants," suggested Rath. Rose shrugged and walked up to the gate.
She put her hands up against it and a soft green light emitted from her palms. Kakashi watched in awe as the plants drew away from the house until everything looked like a professional gardener had taken care of it.
All that Kakashi could say was, "Wow."
"Thanks, Kakashi-sensei. See you…whenever!" Rose said and went inside the house. Kakashi stared for a moment more before shrugging (why is everyone shrugging?) his shoulders and walking home.
"So, I guess this is home sweet home," Kamui muttered and flung himself onto the couch.
"I dunno. Hey isn't that Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, Sasuke, Shino, Ten Ten, Sakura, Ino-pig, Lee, Kiba, Neji, Hinata, Temari, and Gaara down there?" Rose observed. The other three got up and peeked through the window. Rath smirked.
"Let's send Yoko down to hear what they're doing."
With Naruto's Group
"Why are we here again!" Ino hissed.
"Didn't you hear? This place is haunted and, recently, the ghosts here decided to tidy up the front yard so that they can lure unsuspecting ninjas in and eat them!" Naruto whispered.
"What's your point Naruto-kun?" demanded Lee.
"Wait, let me guess, you are daring us to go in there with you and see if it's true," Shikamaru said. Everyone looked at him with sweat drops. (even Gaara) Naruto laughed.
"So, are you coming or are you all chickens?" he smirked.
"Fine, but I'm only doing this because I'm bored," Neji, Sasuke, and Gaara said. The group trudged towards the door.
Out of the corner of his eye, Sasuke saw a silver fox with red eyes and nine tails.
'What the hell?' he thought. He turned to look at it fully, but it was gone.
"Come on Sasuke-kun!" Sakura squealed. Sasuke stared a moment more before following them in.
"Hmm…so that's what they're here for. What do you say? Should you give them what they want?" a man said. He had silver hair, a silver tail, and silver fox ears. (yoko! drools) Rei cast a wary eye around the room. Everyone had a smirk.
Rei sighed, "Neko. Do you have a plan?" She looked at Rose. Rose had the silver fox in her arms and a snake around her waist. She sighed and replied,
"Why don't we let Kamui have the honors?" as a scream floated from below.
"EEEEEKKKKKK! A SPIDER!" Ino and Sakura squealed as they glomped onto a sweat dropping Sasuke.
"Somebody, get rid of that thing!" Ino squeaked.
Neji sighed and spoke up, "Fine I'll-" but before he could finish his sentence the spiders were squished between the sand that emitted from Gaara making the blood of the spiders spatter.
"That'll teach you, you disgusting insects that bury themselves deep within my sand. If you want sand, than here's all the sand you'll ever need! Mua-Mua-MUAHAHAHA!" Gaara spat and smirked evilly at the now dead arachnids.
Naruto and the gang had wide eyes at what just happened with Gaara's 'little' moment.
"Uh…let's just carry on," Temari said before the others nodded slowly and all were now thinking to be especially careful around Gaara and spiders.
"What's that sound?" Shikamaru noticed. "It sounds like banging and it's coming from upstairs," the now calm Gaara said.
Upstairs
"Bua-Bua-BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Rath and Rei shrieked imitating the spider-hater.
They were rolling on their backs with laughter. Rose had shoved a pillow to her face in order to suppress her wave of giggles. As for Kamui, he was banging his head on the wall in his attempt to keep a straight face.
Kamui suddenly stopped his self torture and announced, "Hn….I have an idea my siblings!" They also suddenly stopped and became serious. Kamui had a cruel glint in his eye as he told them his plan.
Neji stopped walking.
"The banging has stopped…" he said.
"…but it was coming from that direction," Kakashi finished. Everyone was silent for a moment and then the chaos started.
"K-K-K-Kakashi-sensei! What are you doing here!" Naruto demanded.
"The same reason as you I suppose!" he replied.
'I guess they're here to see the quartet.' he thought.
"Oh yeah. I'd like you guys to meet my niece, Sai," he gestured towards the girl beside him.
She had a black t-shirt with red letters that read, "Bite me and I'll bite back…harder" and a pair of jeans that had a flower design on her right leg. Her ebony hair was tied up in a tight ponytail and she had on a necklace that had the astrological sign of Aquarius as its charm.
She smiled and said, "Hi!"
Lee looked at her, grabbed her hands and said, "Do you want to be my girlfriend? I swear that I'll protect you with my life."
Suddenly, there was a crash and a cloud of dust surrounded the two. A moment later the dust cleared. Sai was staring down at a fallen Lee. He was twitching.
On top of him was a little boy. He was about twelve with brown hair, golden eyes, and a gold band around his head. He stood up and stretched. There was another boy on the railing.
He was about twelve too and had blue hair, pupil-less blue eyes, and a large blue diamond on his forehead.
"Wow. Look at what you did to him, Goku," the blue boy said.
The gold boy, Goku, replied, "Hey, isn't this that Rock Lee guy they were talking about, Nataku?" Nataku shrugged.
"Whatever. We better go or else they'll get mad at us. Let's go," he ran off, still on the railing. Goku hopped off of Lee and onto the railing, running after Nataku. Sai blinked and said,
"Let's follow them." as she gestured for someone to carry Lee. Kakashi picked up Lee and the whole group followed the two boys.
The group followed the pair into a dark room.
"D-do we have to go in there?" Sakura squeaked. Sai nodded, staring into the darkness.
"B-but, it's dark!" Ino added. Hands suddenly shot out from the doorway and grabbed Sakura, Ino, and Hinata.
They dragged them in, even as Neji, Shikamaru, and Naruto franticly tried to grab their flailing hands.
"Well, now, we have no choice but to go in there," Sasuke stated. Everyone looked at each other before nodding and walking into unknown depths.
"Flame of Glory! (I sorta made that up. The real version would be Blaze of Glory, but, whatever)" Sasuke hissed and candles were lit. Bad idea.
There were spiders everywhere! Because of the sudden light they became frantic and scrambled every where. Muffled screams were heard.
Hinata, Ino, and Sakura were bound to chairs with cloths tied around their eyes and mouths. Spiders crawled all over Ino and Sakura, yet Hinata was untouched.
Everyone, excluding Kakashi and Sai, suddenly remembered Gaara's "problem" with spiders and gave turned to look at him. Kakashi and Sai stood in the background with question marks above their heads. Gaara was trembling. He started muttering stuff under his breath. "
Um…Gaara? You okay, dude?" Naruto shakily asked.
Gaara's head snapped up and he yelled, "You damn spiders!"
His sand came up and muffled everything. Everyone's vision went dark, and the last thing they heard was the crawling of many, hairy spiders.
Neji shot up gasping. Had it all been a dream? Wasn't he supposed to be buried alive because of Gaara's stupid peeve of spiders? No, it couldn't have been…could it? He looked around. He was in a large white room.
By his side and across from him were many beds that were filled with his friends. To right of him was a large window with purple drapes. From the light, it was a little past dawn.
"You're awake, too," Sasuke said. Neji turned and saw that Sasuke, Sai, and Kakashi were also awake. "
Should we wake the rest or what?" Sai asked. Kakashi was just sitting on the side of his bed, reading his "Make Out Paradise" book.
"Uncle!" Sai whined and hit Kakashi on the head.
'These damn evil books!' she thought. 'Contaminating my poor uncle's head! I will burn you!' Sai got up and began to walk towards the door.
"Hey! Where are you going with those?" Kakashi yelled. Sai turned around and glared at him.
"I'm gonna burn 'em!" Naruto shot up.
"What? Someone's gonna burn Kakashi-sensei's stupid books? This, I gotta see!" Unfortunately, Naruto's yelling woke everyone up.
Temari checked up on Gaara like the good sister that she was, while Sakura and Ino visited each other, and Neji got up to see Hinata. "Where the hell are we?" Kiba demanded.
GG: Perfect cliffy! See you next chappie!
