Chapter 9
The Neko Youkai
"ERO-SENNIN WE HAVE BEEN TRAVELING FOR NEARLY 2 WEEKS! WHERE THE HELL ARE WE GOING," yelled a very pissed off Naruto. What Naruto said was true, for nearly two weeks the two walked, then went on a boat and now are walking some more.
Jiraiya twitched and thanked God they were near, "Relax, we are here." Jiraiya pointed to an old fashioned Japanese mansion, which was huge. It was surrounded by beautiful gardens. Naruto tried to go forward, but he got shocked.
"Ow, what the hell," growled Naruto.
"We have to wait for her to come and let us in," said Jiraiya, rolling his eyes at his student. As if on cue, a woman walked toward them. She has short white hair to her shoulders, green eyes like a cat, and wore sweat pants and a T-shirt.
"Hey, Jiraiya," greeted the woman, "Did he try to walk forward and get shocked?"
"Yeah,"
"Is he alright? You can come through now," said the woman. Naruto walked slowly and he didn't get shocked. "Follow me to the house."
"Hey who are you," asked Naruto.
"My name's Hiroko, Uzumaki Naruto," said Hiroko.
"Hey, how did you know my name,"
"I know lots of things about you kiddo," grinned Hiroko. Naruto sighed and guessed he will have to wait for answers. He looked at the gardens at thought to ask Hiroko if he could get one of the flowers to send to Sakura. Hiroko, Jiraiya, and Naruto walked into the house. They all took off their shoes. "Sit down." Hiroko has them in the living room. She went into the kitchen.
"This place is nice, isn't it," said Jiraiya.
"Yeah," said Naruto sitting down.
"Alright we'll have some tea and chat for a while," said Hiroko, bringing out a tray of tea. She placed it on the table in the center and sat on the other couch across from Naruto and Jiraiya. She poured tea for herself, Naruto and Jiraiya. Both Jiraiya and Hiroko took a sip and placed the cups down again.
"How have you been Hiroko," asked Jiraiya.
"I'm fine, just a bit tired. Now, Naruto I know you have questions, so ask away,"
"Who are you? How do you know Jiraiya? Why do you know about me," asked Naruto in one breath.
"I'm Hiroko, age 25. I knew Jiraiya through my father because my father used to take me to Konoha when I was younger. I know about you because Jiraiya told me about you and it's in your best interest that I know who you are,"
"Why is it in my best interest that you know who I am,"
"Because I'm a demon," said Hiroko. Suddenly, crying began to come from the upstairs. "Oh man I hope they stayed asleep longer." Hiroko ran up the stairs.
"Crying?"
"Yeah, babies do that," commented Jiraiya.
"What the hell is going on," asked Naruto. Suddenly a little boy around one year old was on the couch next to Naruto. The baby boy had little hair on his head that looked like it will wind up to be black and had very familiar onyx eyes.
"Sorry about that," said Hiroko, coming downstair with two baby girls. Both of them looked only a few months old. One had little fuzzy white hair and green eyes like Hiroko and the other had black fuzzy hair and green eyes like Hiroko as well. She gently placed both of them on the couch.
"Are these you siblings," asked Naruto.
"No, they're my kids," said Hiroko looking at Jiraiya, "I thought you tell him about me and the kids."
"I thought it would be a good surprise,"
"Oh well. Let's introduce them. The boy next to you Naruto is Tai, he is the oldest and he is 1 year and 2 months. The girl with the white fuzz on her head is Hikari, who is the middle child and 2 months olds, and lastly her twin is Chi, who is also two months," said Hiroko, "Hikari and Chi aren't identical twins though."
"But, you're so young how could you have 3 children," asked Naruto.
"Because I told you I'm a demon. Demons that are going to produce a full demon takes about two months before birth. Then, when a half demon is going to be born then is takes 3 months or so. Followed by 1/4 demon is 6 months, and finally anything lower than that takes a regular human pregnancy 9 months," explained Hiroko. Naruto stared at her.
'Kyuubi is she right'
'Yeah,'
'Do you know her?'
'Maybe'
"Naruto, stop spacing out on me," said Jiraiya. Naruto glared at his teacher. Jiraiya glared back.
"Oh, Naruto your friends like you are coming in a few days," said Hiroko, to stop the glaring.
"Really? Hoku, Akira, Ronin, Kiyoshi, Ringo, Haru, Miki and Gaara?"
"Yeah, Gaara can only stay 2 weeks since Kankurou is filling in for him," said Jiraiya.
"This is great. Now, they get to meet each other," said Naruto, excited. Tai clapped and was all excited like Naruto, bouncing up and down.
"Well, Naruto what do you want to eat for dinner," asked Hiroko.
"What were you going to make?"
"Roast Beef in homemade brown gravy," replied Hiroko.
"That sounds good, but can you..."
"Make some ramen too," said Hiroko.
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Because you are similar to the Yondaime and he loved ramen too," said Hiroko. "Naruto, would you want to play with Tai, Hikari, and Chi?"
"Um, sure," replied Naruto.
"You don't have to hold them. Jsut keep them on the couch. They are really easy to amuse," said Hiroko, "Jiraiya, sake is in the cabinets if you want some." Jiraiya went off to the get the sake for himself. That left Naruto with three babies. He has never been around babies before.
"Play," said Tai, which was one of the few words that he knew. The three kids were on the couch where Hiroko was sitting.
"Er, hi. I'm Naruto," he said, holding out his hand to Chi. The little baby grabbed Naruto's finger. Hikari stared at him with curious eyes, as if she knew that he was new here. Tai grabbed Naruto's other hand. "You guys are cute." Chi smiled, then Hikari smiled, and Tai smiled.
'Man, they're so innocent. I wonder if this is how I looked when I was a baby.'
'You were cute and innocent all babies are like this, until they learn how to talk'
'They make me feel like all happy'
'Babies have unconditional love for everyone, so they love you and trust you'
'Hiroko must have a big job to take care of three children'
'She probably has her mate's help'
'Mate?"
'Demon mate kit. She said her kids are half demons, meaning she marked a human as hers'
'Oh, I wonder who it is'
"You should ask her'
'I will after dinner'
"Naruto, they seem to like you," said Hiroko, coming in, "Aren't they just precious?"
"Yeah, when is dinner ready,"
"Right now, that's why I came to get you," said Hiroko, "Naruto would you pick Tai up and bring him to the kitchen for me."
"Uh," said Naruto.
"You never held a baby right," said Hiroko, "Stand up." Naruto stood up. Hiroko handed Tai to him and instructed him on how to hold a baby.
"Easy enough," said Naruto to himself bringing Tai to the kitchen after Hiroko and her twins. Hiroko already had the twins in seats (looks like a car seat) and she took Tai to put him in the high chair.
"Sit down Naruto," said Jiraiya, who seemed to have a few drinks already. Naruto sat down.
"So, um Hiroko? You said you were a demon but you don't look like one," commented Naruto.
"Yeah, I know. It's a long story, it'll bore you," said Hiroko.
"Fine, tell me before I go to bed then," said Naruto. Everyone dug into the dinner, with the babies having a bottle. Hikari and Chi seemed to be falling asleep. Tai seemed more energetic. After dinner, Jiraiya went outside to drink some more. Hikari and Chi went back upstairs to bed and Tai played with some blocks in the living room. Hiroko and Naruto sat on the couches.
"So you gonna tell me your story or what," said Naruto, impatiently.
"Long story short, okay?"
"Fine,"
"Alright 25 years ago, I was on a mission in Makai (Demon World) when I had to go into Ningenkai (Human World) and I ran into the current Reikai Tanati, Shinobu Sensui and he nearly killed me. I ran from him and found myself in these parts. I decided that to survive that I have to seal my soul into an unborn child. Luckily the couple that lived here were with child. The child was meant to be still born, but with my soul it survived and this is the way I am now. I still can go into my demon self, but it makes me tired to do so," explained Hiroko.
"I don't get it, but okay," said Naruto, "So your human parents named you Hiroko right? So what is you real name?"
"Hiroko is my real name," said Hiroko.
"That's cool. No change in the name," said Naruto. "Did you know Kyuubi when you were not in this form?"
"Yes, but we didn't get along much," said Hiroko. "I usually worked under when I was in Makai was the three demon kings."
"Oh. So how old are you really?"
"3125," replied Hiroko, then Naruto fainted. "Oops, guess that stunned him a bit." Hiroko scratched her head and put Naruto in a lying down position on the couch. Naruto woke up a few seconds later.
"Sorry about passing out. It is just a surprise," said Naruto, "Oh by the way, who's you're children's father?"
"A, um, er, hmm," said Hiroko. Naruto stared at her for a moment.
"What cat got your tongue," joked Naruto, "The guy can't be that bad."
"You'll think so,"
"Who is it, someone I really, really hate?"
"Yeah,"
"Oh well just tell," said Naruto. Hiroko shook her head and covered her face with her hands.
"It's..."
