…Gomenasai for taking a while to update, I've got school and other stuff to do (a.k.a go on maplestory and level up as fast as possible!)… Well anyway, I don't own Naruto, thanks for the reviews, and I hope that this chapter isn't terrible and I hope that you'll enjoy this chapter…
"…" there wasn't any words that could describe how odd the room looked. There were bits of green on the wall, some purple here and there; bright orange was covering parts of a wall on the right, something that could have been mistaken as blood (maybe it is blood…oo) was on the wall on the left, some pink was showing under a puke green colour…is that mold on the far wall?
"Ano, gomenasai about the paint and all…We didn't have time to paint this room since we moved in…" she started to laugh nervously. "And…well, to be frank, we actually moved here last year…" Koto sweat dropped at that. "Well, I hope that you won't mind sleeping in this room…"
"Ano, I really don't mind at all. I'm just glad that I don't have to sleep outside…"
'This won't happen all the time you know, you'll have to get used to sleeping outside,' 'I know that, demo since someone offered me to stay at their home, I might as well take the offer.'
"Well, I'll let you unpack, come downstairs when you're done," she closed the door behind her as she left. Koto stared at the door; he just realized that the door was even worse than the room; the door had a mixture of what looked like puke and something pink and fluffy was covering some kind of greyish…lets just say that it's something that can't be identified.
Koto shivered at the thought of what it could be, he started to pull out some clean clothes and changed into them.
'How am I gonna survive in this room? I'm betting that they kept this room locked up since they moved here…maybe the people who lived in here before them did something to this room that made it look like this…' he stared at the doorknob as he opened the door, he didn't want to see what the stuff on the door was.
When he came downstairs, Midori was rummaging through the refrigerator, looking for something. He walked up behind her, "What are you looking for?" Midori jumped and looked behind her.
"Nani? Oh… ano, I was just looking for some orange juice. It's supposed to be here somewhere…"
"Ano, do you mean the orange juice that's in that jar?" Koto pointed it to a clear jar that contained what looked like orange juice.
"Oro (1)? That's concentrated orange juice; I'm looking for a different one. It's for a science project that I'm doing…Hm, it's supposed to be here, I'll have to see if my mom has it," she headed to the door that led to the store (2). Koto walked over to the concentrated orange juice, '…what kind of experiment- oh.'
He noticed the different types of juice that was spread out on the counter; grape juice next to the concentrated grape juice (I'm assuming that Koto could tell the difference between concentrated juice and regular juice), milk, apple juice, and a few other beverages (3).
(A few hours later… (I'm too lazy to think about what happens during time skip)
'Is it me or is it getting colder?' Koto thought as he continued to walk. For the past few hours, he was walking around Akita looking for the any signs of the other members of team seven.
'How am I supposed to know? Since I'm inside you, I can't tell the temperature outside your body,' Kyuubi replied in a bored tone. Koto pulled his jacket higher, he hated being in cold places.
'Damn it…just has to be winter…' he continued to complain and swear in his head (4); he was too busy to notice that someone was following him.
'Hey gaki, I think that you should get into a more crowded area because someone's following you…' 'Nani?' Koto looked behind him, there were people that were behind him and going in all directions.
'Isn't this place crowded enough?' he thought as he sweat dropped. '…you'll have to get to a more crowded area than this,' he replied as he tried to locate where the person was.
Koto looked behind him and then started to navigate through the growing crowd, looking behind him once every five minutes.
'Are you sure that someone's following me, Kyuubi? It doesn't seem like anyone is following,' he looked behind him one last time, and stopped where he was.
'I'm not an idiot; I know that someone's following you. You might not realize it because of the crowd, demo someone is following you...' Koto stared at the crowd sidewalk for a moment then went to the opposite direction.
'Kyuubi sounds kind of serious about this…' even thought he met Kyuubi just a few weeks ago, he never thought that Kyuubi would be this serious about a stalker.
'…It can't be them, why would they go after the gaki? Maybe they heard about him wanting to-damn it!' (5) The pieces started to fall in place as Kyuubi started to think about why they (6) would be stalking Koto.
'Kyuubi?' Koto broke the silence half an hour later and snapped Kyuubi back to reality. 'Hm?' 'Ano…' he looked around at where he was, 'Do you know where we are? I kinda forgot how I got here…' Koto scratched the back of his head.
'NANI!' Koto tripped and fell flat on his face. "Itai…" he sat up and looked around. 'You didn't have to yell…' there were people staring at him, but soon went back to what they were doing. 'And I thought that you were a genius…' (7) Koto stood up and started to walk. 'I wasn't paying attention; I was doing what you told me to do…' 'You could have looked where you were going,' 'He's definitely Naruto…'
'Don't worry; I'm pretty good at finding my way through things. I should be able to find my way back to Midori's place…' (He totally forgot about the stalker…)
(Minutes later…)
'See, I told you that I'd be able to find my way back,' Koto walked into the flower shop.
"Good afternoon, how can I help-Koto, you're back! So, did you find what you've been looking for?" asked Midori's mother (too lazy to give her a name) as he approached her.
"I wasn't able to find anything, demo, I'll keep searching another time," he plastered a fake smile on his face, 'My face better not stay like this forever.' Midori's mother walked up to him and started to pinch his cheeks.
"You look so cute when you smile like that," she said with a wide smile. Veins popped at the back of Koto's head and his eyebrow twitched, 'You've got to be kidding…' he turned slightly. He could have sworn that he saw something… 'Hm…probably my imagination…'
…there are no words to describe how disappointed I am about this chapter…I'm probably disappointing everyone with this chapter, and it took me such a long time to update as well. Well anyway, please review (even if this chapter was disappointing).
(1)I think that oro means 'huh' in Japanese or somewhere close to that. I'm really not sure, but I've heard this word from an anime I download, and it said in the subtitles that it meant 'huh' or something like that…and from Rurouni Kenshin as well...
(2)Just letting you know that Midori lives in one of those stores with homes built on top of it…
(3)You probably never did this experiment, but it's supposed to be used for making invisible ink, or something close to that. I never tried it in my life, I either read it somewhere or I saw it from somewhere.
(4)Ah, the effects of being a kid in high school. Usually kids don't swear when their around ten or something, right? Well, since Koto was sent to high school at a young age, he started swearing a lot more because of the high school people who swear. Bad influence I guess…
(5)The font is for when Kyuubi thinks in his own mind…kinda confusing, but sometimes he has to think to himself without Koto listening to his thoughts…
(6)They are people who will not be revealed until I decide to put them in the story.
(7)I know that this has nothing to do with the sentence or anything, but I'm starting to think that an IQ of two hundred is too less. I bought the supposedly November issue of Shonen Jump and it said that Shikamaru's IQ was over two hundred. So, I'm starting to think that an IQ of two hundred might be too less, but then again; I don't want to make Koto a complete genius because I don't know enough stuff to turn him into a genius…
