Gomenasai for taking so long to update, (sighs) I'm obviously going to use the same excuse over and over again…Well anyway, I hope this chapter doesn't disappoint you or anything.

Koto stood in the middle of what looked like a village, screams were heard everywhere, blood splattered the ground, bodies lay dead, view people struggling to stay alive. He looked around, trying to figure out where he was. Suddenly a scream sliced through the air.

"What the-" he turned around, but soon regretted doing that. A kunoichi was being sliced into pieces by a person in dark clothes. Even though the person had a mask on, Koto could tell that the shinobi was staring at him. He tried to move but his feet would move.

'Move!' his mind screamed at him to move, but his feet still stuck to the ground. He looked at his feet; some kind of purple liquid was making its way up his legs.

CLANG! Koto looked up to find an older version of him standing in front of him, a kunai in his hand. "Wh-" before he could finish the sentence the ground below him disappeared, "HOLY SH-!" he tried to scream as fell.

'Hey, gaki! Snap out of it!' Koto snapped his eyes open and found something fluffy in his face.

"Kyuubi! Get off my face!" he grabbed the fluffy animal and through him at the wall, luckily the fox had good reflexes.

'What was that for?!' hissed Kyuubi as he landed on the ground. Koto stuffed the pillow over his head, 'Leave me alone…' he planned to get out of bed when Midori went to school so he could do his new routine. Almost a week has past since he arrived at the Kai estate (1) and so far he still hasn't gotten anything.

'You do know that it's past nine, right?' Kyuubi hopped onto the bed.

'So…I've already looked through the whole city, I've decided to leave this place the day after tomorrow…' Koto sat up in bed and grabbed the clock that was on the side table. Twelve o'clock… "I'm hungry…" he grumbled and started to walk out of the bedroom, Kyuubi scurried after him.

'What is there…' he thought as he rummaged through the refrigerator for some thing to eat. 'Fish, fruit, leftovers, milk…' he looked around at the kitchen just to see if there was a note or something that could indicate what was for breakfast.

'Hey! I need something to eat!' Kyuubi whined as Koto continued his search for food. He pulled out a half frozen fish and held it in front of Kyuubi, 'You can eat this,' he put back the fish in the refrigerator when he heard the fox start to gag from the smell.

"Good morning Koto-san!" greeted Riku (Midori's mom) from the door. "…Morning…" grumbled Koto as he took a seat at the table.

"Sounds like you woke up at the wrong side of the bed," Riku went over to a shelf and pulled out a box of cereal (2). Kyuubi went right up to her and sat down, giving his best pout.

"You need something to eat as well…" she opened a cupboard and pulled out a small box of dog food (3).

"Ano, your store's open right now right?" asked Koto before he put a spoonful of cereal in his mouth.

"Yup!"

"Then shouldn't you be down there?" he started to gulp down the rest of the cereal and went to the sink.

"I've got someone to watch the store, I better head back now," she headed towards the door that led to the store and left.

(After Kyuubi's done with his breakfast and after Koto's done changing into different clothes)

Koto sighed as he walked past the now familiar stores, it seamed like he searched the whole city already.

'Which city should we go next…?' he wondered as he continued to walk. 'If there's a town that's two hours away or less, you're walking there.'

'Why should I? You can't make me do th-' he rammed his foot in the ground just before he walked off the sidewalk and onto the busy road. His heart was pounding in his throat and looked around his surroundings, 'That was close…' he thought as he started to breath again.

'Next time, pay attention to where you're going.' 'You could have told me that there was a road ahead of me,' he started to cross the street.

'I'm still inside you, so it's impossible for me to see,' Koto sighed. 'One reason why I hate you…'

He stopped in front of a book store and went inside; he started to look for something. 'What are you looking for?' 'A map of Japan,' he pulled out a few books and started to look through them.

'…Honjo (4) seems close enough, demo how am I going to get there?' he looked through a few more books and then put them back.

'It should be about twenty-five miles away…if there's a train there, I might be able to get there in less than six hours or somewhere close to that (5),' he did the calculations as he walked back outside.

'If it'll take you that long to get there by train, then how long will it take you to walk there?'

'It'll take me more than half a day to…' he stopped for a second, 'I'm not walking there.'

'How about running there?'

'I'll get dehydrated easily, besides if I did run it won't make a difference-that reminds me,' he turned around and headed back to the book store.

'Reminds you what?'

'I forgot to get some books on history,' once he was in the store, he searched around in the store till he found a shelf filled of history books.

'Why do you need history books?'

'Trying to find Konoha…' he flipped through almost all the books before he took the slowly growing pile of books to the counter.

(Sighs) I could have made this chapter longer, but I'm trying my best to update all my stories. Oh, and one more thing, I didn't get my editor to edit this so if it doesn't make sense then pm me or review. I'm just wanted to see if I could survive without having an editor.

(1)I'm really not sure if it should be called an estate or anything, but I'll leave it for now.

(2)I've got no idea if there is cereal in Japan…

(3)I couldn't think of any other type of food a fox could eat. I'm really stupid, so don't blame me.

(4)I have an atlas at home and there is a place called Honjo, but I did a little research and I couldn't find a place that was called Honjo. So I'm really not sure if there is one or not.

(5)I'm really bad at estimating so it isn't accurate; to me it looked like it's about twenty miles away from Akita.
