"So the rest of the food is for your cousin?" Koto took a bite out of his cheeseburger, staring at the huge bag strangely.

"Yup, you'd believe me if I told you that she's related to a pig. The only strange thing is that she never gets fat," Kari muttered as she ate her hamburger and drove.

'Maybe she is a pig,' Kyuubi commented as he chewed on a dog toy. 'You know what? I totally agree with you. I can't believe that someone could eat that much.'

"Ah, we're almost at Honjo. So, are you planning to stay in a hotel?" the bumpy road started to smooth out as they moved from the dirt road to the main road.

"I'm not sure yet," he pulled his cup of coke from the cup holder beside him; looking out the window, houses started to appear.

"Great! You could stay with me and my cousin," hearing the boy choke, she turned towards him to see coke splattered all over the passenger window; Kyuubi spotted with coke, and Koto choking like crazy.

"That's…ok," he was able to choke out, "I could find a hotel or somewhere to stay."

"Are you sure? It's not like we're going to eat you alive or something. Besides, you won't have to pay."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"Ok I guess…" finally able to breath properly, he started to clean up the mess he created. 'Gimme a towel; I need something to whip off this sticky stuff.'

'You're a fox, you don't need a towel. Besides, you could use your tongue to lap it off or something,' saying that, he reached his hand into the bag in the back seat and grabbed some fries. 'Hm...' he looked at Kyuubi, "Kari? Is it ok if I give Kyuubi a bath after we reach your house? I didn't give him a bath yet and it doesn't look like he's willing to get the coke out of his fur."

"Sure and we're here," screeching to a stop, the truck stopped in front of a small, two story house. There was a stone path that leads to the front door; small bushes were lined up against the path. It would have been normal looking if it didn't…

"Are you gonna sit there all day or are you coming out?" Kari was now standing in front of the window; nodding, he grabbed his bag and got out of the truck. As soon as he got out, he continued to stare at the house, mesmerized; Kari sighed.

"Not my fault, this used to be my cousin's house until I moved in," she grabbed his arm and dragged him to the bright, neon pink house. 'I knew I should have declined; now I'll have nightmares,' he shut his eyes; he didn't want to go blind from staring at the house.

'At least it's better than nothing,' Kyuubi was sitting inside of Koto's bag, protecting himself from the pinkness of doom.

"Hi! I'm back!" shouted Kari as she entered the house, she dropped his arm, kicked her shoes off, grab a pair of slippers, through them on, and walked across the almost empty living room; the only things that were in the living room was a TV, a couch, a PS3, and a Wii. Looking around, he took his shoes off and grabbed a pair of blue slippers, putting them on as he went after Kari.

She looked through all the rooms on the first floor, ran downstairs and back, muttering "Where the hell is she?" as she half ran and half walked past him. Silently, he followed her as she ran back and forth looking for her cousin.

"Ano… maybe she's upstairs?" he suggested as she looked through a closet.

"That's a possibility but if she's asleep she could be anywhere and I mean it. Once I even found her asleep in the closet," slamming the closet door shut, she headed upstairs with Koto at her heels. She skipped a few rooms till she reached one with a dark brown door; opening the door showed a room with magazines all over the floor, clothes hanging from the edge of shelves, a cabinet overflowing with both clothes and stuffed toys, and a blonde haired girl wearing a ten top and shorts asleep with a bottle of sake in her hand. Walking over to her, Kari grabbed the bottle, put it on the table (well…I think it's a table) that was next to the bed, grabbed her cousin's shoulders and started shaking and screaming at her.

"RIN! WAKE UP WILL YA?!?!" shaking the girl, she still didn't wake up. Even after five minutes, she was still asleep; while she was doing that, Koto and Kyuubi decided to stand in the doorway.

'I wonder if she's really alive (sweat drops),' thought the ten-year-old as he continued to watch her, 'I agree, or maybe she's deaf and can't hear,' said Kyuubi as he relocated himself onto Koto's shoulder, he cringed as Kari through the other girl onto the floor, 'I'm starting to feel sorry for her.'

"(Sighs) she should be up soon," stated Kari as she sat beside Rin, waiting for her to get up. A few seconds later, the blonde girl started to stir, snapping up into a sitting position; even though her hair was covering half of her face, Koto recognized her face.

"Rin, this is Koto," she stuck her thumb towards Koto, "Koto this is-"

"Oh my god, he's so cute!" in a flash, she had Koto in a bear hug, crushing Kyuubi will doing so. "Kari, can I keep him?" hearts were surrounding her as she held the struggling kid (and fox).

"We're not keeping him, he's just here because he has nowhere to go, now let go of him and step away from him," Kari said, using a cautious voice and approached the blonde girl.

"No! Mine!" Rin hugged him tighter and stuck her tongue out. All of a sudden she lurched forward; letting go of Koto, she slammed open a door that lead to a bathroom and started to through up the contents that were in her stomach.

"One reason why I hate it whenever she gets drunk," sighed Kari, she went into the washroom to help her cousin who was now coughing and swearing. Slinging her arm over her shoulder, Kari began to drag her cousin and put her in a sitting position on her bed.

"Sit, stay, and don't do anything, get it?"

"Got it," Rin replied weakly with a small groan. Giving a suspicious look to her cousin, she turned and left.

"Pretty good acting don't you think, ne Naruto-kun?" chuckled the blonde.


I know it's short, but I'll try to post up the next chapter as soon as possible, and if this chapter was pretty bad, please say so because I think I'm making time go by really fast and and skipping the important facts.
