Chapter 3

Naruto woke up with a roaring headache. His ears swiveled toward the sound of foot steps on stairs. His eyes snapped open as he thought stairs but I don't live in a house. He rolled over and fell out of the bed and onto his tails letting out a yelp. When he hit the wooden floors with a thump and cry of pain the foot steps raced in his direction. He had just enough time to crouch into an defensive position when the door burst open.

In the doorway stood a woman with gold and silver hair. He tried to remember where he had seen her as he crouched on the side of the bed readying for any attack. The woman looked at him her eyes widening at the sight of his ears and tails.

She had just come to check on the little boy that her husband had brought home when she heard the thump and yells coming from the guest room where they had laid him after he had fainted. She didn't expect to see a young boy with ears and tails of a fox let alone seeing the fear in his eyes at the sight of her.

She called behind her to her husband " Shintaro get up here right now" She didn't look away from the boy as she watched his eyes glaze over slightly as if he had escaped the world of reality.

Naruto watched the woman as he spoke to kyuubi "Hey kyuubi where are we? He looked at the cage that held the fox within. Kyuubi laughed at naruto as he told him all that happened since he had passed out. He was still laughing as he said " Kit your genjutsu was stopped when you passed out." He waited while naruto looked thoughtful he waited as his kit processed the information and watched as his eyes showed the realization of the situation but still he waited till the kit asked " kyuubi-asma are my ears and tails showing?"

Kyuubi laughed at the kits resigned sigh before he said matter oh factly "Yep their vissable to the whole world ah kit you might want to pay attention their all staring at you." Naruto frowned "what?" Kyuubi shook his head then kicked naruto back to reality.

Naruto came back to himself with a jolt and saw that the people he had met earlier in the day were indeed starring at him. The two who he had met earlier, uh what were their names...His face scunched up in concentration the he remembered they were Kenshin and..mira, no it was mina, yeah thats it. He looked to the older woman and couldn't recall who she was just a distant ringing in his ears. He turned to look at member in the doorway , it was Shuintaro the one he had followed home.

Shintaro watched as Naruto thought it was kinda ammusing to watch and he could hear his family laughing beside him. It was quite a sight the young boy who he had brought home, he had gone from being small and cute blonde to being a cuddly cute fox demon. He turned to watch his wifes reaction but as he did there were two loud squeels.

Shintaro and kenshin whinced as they watched the two females tackle naruto and start petting him. They shuddered as they saw naruto's expression that spoke as clear as words "Help Me". They both wore identicle expression as they shook their heads in usion smirking and glad it wasn't them.

Naruto cringed at the loud squeels and then flinched as the two females petted him. He turned to the two males for help but they shook their heads and smirked at his discomfort. He knew he wouldn't be hurt by the two not like the women in konoha if they got close but them touching him was something new. He turned in ward talking to kyuubi.

"Hey kyuubi-sama what should i do it feels warm and nice but how do i respond no ones ever hugged or petted me before?". Kyuubi shook his massive head sad at what the kit had gone through because of him and the fourth hokage that sealed him in naruto. He shook free of the memories and let his devious side take hold he grinned hs teeth showing "Kit listen to me all you have to do is wrapp two of your tails around each of them then rub their chest in greeting." Naruto looked at him then asked "Why kyuubi-sama.""Its a greeting and a hmm"he tapped his paw to his face"and its a thank you, you do want to thank them don't you?" Naruto nodded "hai kyuubi-sama thank you for the advice."

Naruto looked at each woman then did as kyuubi instructed he curled two golden colored tails around each woman and stroked their breasts. Mina and her mother were shocked that his tails wrapped around them but didn't move until the tails stroked them in an improper way. Both of them jumped up and looked at the innocent face of naruto so they let it go as a misshap.

Shintaro finally fpoke as they let go of naruto "okay naruto before i have you explain let me introduce my wife Lunair and you already know my children the twins Mina and kenshin." After Naruto nodded he continued " Okay now you have some explaining to do. Why are you in the human relm and not with your own kind, you told me you didn't have a home is that true?"

Naruto nodded and explained that he was an orphan and that he hadn't had anyone look after him and lastly he told them that he wasn't always a demon just recently then asked what he meant by "human" realm. They all looked at him as if they thought he should be insane but then Lunair pulled naruto to his feet and out the room door. He saw that he was upstairs and their were four other rooms on the floor next to and across from the one he had stayed in off to the side.

He only got a glimpse of the other rooms before he was pulled gently but firmly down the stairs. She took him into the kitchen it looked as if were a cross between an old home with a place for a cooking fire and a new one with a stove and all the appliances both areas had food cooling for eating later.She dragged him to a folding screen he looked at her and asked the obvious question " Why are we here its just the door to the pantry."

She laughed then opened the folding screen. It was amazing there were trees that looked ancient and filled with many forms of life. It was so big what he thought was a yard was a whole forest he stepped out past the screen and felt his whole body shiver as if a wind past through his body. He wobbled before steadying and then walkin a little farther into the dense forest to wait for the others as he knew they would follow soon enough. He was surprised that the smells were different as well before he had smelled the bodies of people and animals that were domesticated nothing of the true nature before people had enhabited the area.

The smells here were completely different they were filled with flora and fauna as well as the scent of fresh trees and grass as if were newly trampled under foot. His nose twitched at the scent of lavendar and fur, he turned to look at Lunair was beside him. He saw her smile then heard the words "Welcome to Makai" as if in a daze he looked up at the trees they were a darker color than those he was used to and the sky was a light pnk deepening into a dark red.

They watched as he walked farther into the foilage he stared in amazement as he came into a huge village it reminded him of konoha the buildings were the same color as the forest bark and leaves. They belnded into the trees perfectly it was like the buidings were carved straight from the trees itself. He could see people walking in and out of the village their were no obvious exits but people kept disappearing out the cortyard that looked like the gates of konoha. His eyes widened as a womal with a squirl tail and ears walked past him and into a building that smelled like a resturant. He raced forward leaving the others to trail silently after the blonde tornado. He raced from place to place looking in doors climbing trees and even starring at people who walked by as if he was 3 and never been to a village before.

He jumped as he felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned sparkling cerulean eyes to Shintaro. "This is so so cool i've never seen so many people in coustume outside of haloween."

Mina, Lunair,Kenshin and Shintaro all sweat dropped then Kenshin moved up to his father's side near naruto rolling his eyes as he said" okay listen carefully and don't open your mouth till i'm done okay" Naruto nodded and waited as Kenshin led them all to a small resturant. He smiled at a brown haired waitress with mauroon eyes and a what looked like brown wings tipped in mauve. She smiled as she led them to a small table near the wall. Her voice was light and airy as she asked" what would you like to order today guys?"

Kenshin ordered the T-bone stake half well done half rare with a side of spaghetti with extra garlic,cheese on a bowl of brocolli, and a loaf of garlic bread with sauce to dip it in, Shintaro ordered a medium done 18ounce cut with mashed potatos, rice and a small side of chili-beans with ground beef instead of turkey meat,and a half loaf of toasted wheat bread with melted cheese on it, Mina ordered a plate of spaghetti with extra meatballs, a large chicken salad with crutons, a bowl or rice with fish(de-boned),and a side or fried green tomatos with extra sace to stew it in, Lunair ordered a large bowl of beef stew with tomatos, potatos, beef chuncks, vegitables, and rice at the bottom, a loaf of italian bread a plate of fish(de-boned), a large nacho salad with extra ground beef and cheese, and a small bowl of salsa.

Naruto starred at them thinking until he realized that they were all starring at him. He blushed a shade of pink against his tan skin, He looked sheepish as he stated "um I don't know what to order i've..ah never been allowed in a resturant." He looked down as he finished his statement not seeing the look that Lunair and Shintaro passed each other. He looked up a small smile on his face he turned to a concerned waitress and grinned after she patted his back and made tsking noises. "What would you recomend miss?"

The waitress eyes widened as he tilted his head spilling his golden hir over his face giving the appearance of a small angel. In the back of her mind she was squeeling but being the professional she was she stated calmly and gently " if this is your first time i would recomend the Ramen its our specialty and they give it to you for free if you can eat twenty bowls in twenty minutes."

Naruto nodded as he ordered a bowl of ramen since he had never had it before, he had not had any type of food other than leftover scraps at the orphanage.

Flash back:

They fed him only what was already rotten or stuff that would normally be thrown away rather than eaten. He knew that the lady had tried to poison him more than once but it hadn't worked and she had been punished by the hokage. The lady treated him worse after the hokage came to see him one night a dinner and saw what they were feeding him. All the kids were at the tables but the lady made him sit on the floor handing him a small bowl that he had seen outside as he watched the dogs being fed. The other kids were snickering and laughing as they watched him eat out of the dog bowl.

Naruto got up to ask for more but the orphanage head a round lady with a bowl shape hair cut her beady eys starring in obvious hatred at naruto as he asked in a subdued voice " miss Goyokumen may i have some more"

Somber blue eyes darkend to near black as the woman back handed him into a near bye table. She walked up to him her beady brown eyes starring hatred down at the liitle blond demon container. Her voice like broken glass growled out of her massie sagging bosom " Who do you think you are asking for the food of others when you have already eaten your share."

Naruto trembled but sat up "But miss Goyokumen i havent eaten the whole day may i please have a little more."

He became frightened as he saw the malicious gleam enter her eyes. She took the bowl from naruto and walked back to the kitchen leaving behind the confussed childeren to watch her retreating figure. As soon as she left the room a boy with wild green hair and a scar under his right eye moved up to naruto a smile on his lips. if one looked at him they might think he was a angel in contrast to the dirty littlte urchain before him. He was the total opposite of naruto with his shining dark green hair, grey eyes, and fitted clothing he was clean healthy, he was tall for his age of five a couple years older than naruto's own three years, He was treated as if he were the prince because of the head master being under his thumb, he was loved a adored by all the staff and envied by the other kids but none more than naruto. Naruto was treated as if he was a plauge, given to big clothes that swamped his small body,his clothes falling off his to skinny shoulders his small form seeming smaller, ragged and matted blonde hair stuck to his head in tufts going every which way, he was given a small portion of food even smaller than that of the dogs that showed up each day for scraps, his blue eyes dulled from hunger and sickness as the lady poisoned him daily to keep him weak.

The green haired youth spoke his tone snobish " hmm so what do we have hear", he circled naruto like a shark while a group of boys moved to clothes in, "Why are you even asking when you know she'll do something horrible to you later"

Naruto stepped back from him and looked around under half lowered eyes he spotted those who were backing away afaird and those eager to watch. He took a deep breath then stood to his full 4 feet 2 inches and looked up into the older boys eyes " The reason is because i'm still hungry jax and even is she does something bad to me as long as i survive its all i need to worry about unlike you."

Jax prepared to beat naruot whne one of his goons whispered that goyokume was on her way back. He turned to naruto a snarl on his face as he mouthed the words "later". They dispersed as Goyokumen walked back into the room carrying the bowl filled with over cooked and burnt rice with boiled cabbage that smelled three days old and probably was at the very top were pieces of chese with magits coming out of it. The rest of the children scooted as far away as their seats would allow.

Goyokumen was smiling a smile sp sweet and false that it could make you sick and after seeing the food you probably would thought naruto absent mindedly. He watched her approach him with the bowl and felt nothing but hunger. When she was in front of him she said here and as he reached out to grab the food she let it fall wearing a face of false surprise. "Oh naruto dear i'm sorry my old bones acting up and that was the last of it, dear oh dear i guess if you want it you have to eat it off the floor so it wont go to waist."

He could see that she was enjoying it and waiting to see if he would do it. He sighed quietly to himself the sat down on the floor and picked up some of the food puting in into his mouth not bothering to look as long as it stopped the hunger.He continued to eat as all watched showing levels of suprise disgust and sickness that he would actually do it ,a nd that how the hokage found them with naruto eating off the floor and the others watching.

He charged over andpulled naruto off the ground looking at the meal and then turning on Miss Goyokumen with anger his brown eyes full of rage he pulled naruto up onto his back turned to the head mistress and said softly "follow me now".

Naruto watched from the old mans back as her face went white then purple with surpressed fury as the hokage railed at her for mistreatment of a minor and how she agrued back that he wasn't a minor but evil incarnate it went on like this until he old man grabbed him and they left the orphanage the last he saw of it for a while from the back of the old man as he took him to his house."

Flash back end

"Hey naruto, Naruto the foods here."

Naruto snapped out of his memories as he felt kenshin pinched him in the arm. He turned to him with a look of confusion before kyuubi told him that they were about to eat and that Kenshin was talking to him. Naruto looked around at the table blushing slightly he rubbed the back of his neck in a nervous gesture. " Uh sorry i wasn't paying attention what were you saying kenshin-san."

They looked a little worried but kenshin just said" Okay so this is important to tell us what you like and what you don't like so we can get it right
