Hiiii! Yeah, yeah, yeah! I'm sorry this this took so long! Never in the mood, nor did I have any ideas for this story. However! I started thinging about what to do, and that usually gets me in the mood, mostly because I thought of something cool and I wanna hurry up and get it down before I forget or lose interest. So thank you to those who have read this and still plan too! You are amazing people for being as patient with me as you have been. I've gotten english this seimester so there's a chance I might be in a more writing type mood later, you never know. I've got about an hour left before I go to bed, so I'll write as much as I can and post it so you who have been waiting have something to read tomorrow. (Or today for whatever time zone your in. -sweatdrop- Well, I don't own any characters except Haru and her parents! And the plot! That's mine too! And with that said, On ward to the chapter!

If it was anything he hated in any life, wither it'd be ninja or civilian; it was homework. The bane of anyone's existance. If he ever found out who decided to give the first child an 10 page essay due in a week, he would slaughter then in the most brutal way possible.

Naru glared at the white sheet of paper sitting innocently blank on the top of his desk.

'Stupid english essay. Go die in a fire.' he grumbled, his pencil bobbing as he chewed the eraser end. 'How the hell do Allen and Haru like this?!'

Stopping momentarily to think just how his life had changed, Naru was honestly surprised just how well it turned out. When he died, he believed he'd end up in hell and suffer for just how messed up his life from before was. Imagine his shocked when the blond boy awake not two seconds later, gazing into the eyes of a pretty, while tired brunette woman. His first thought was, 'oh no, what God did I upset to recieve this hell?' If you were ever woken up in the arms of an unknown woman after a death like his, you'd be thinking the same thing. However, all his morbid thoughts about his personal hell were soon interupted with-

"WHERE IS HE?!"

An angry brunette girl practically smashed her way in the small hospital room, hissing at anyone that came to close and using her own verison of the 'bat-glare.' Wasn't as terrifying as the real thing, but close enough to get the job done. The girl took one look at him, ultimatenly making him believe she was about to murder him, and... hearts appeared in her eyes? At that point, Naru concluded the girl was bi-polar. It scared him to think how her atitude changed the moment she saw him. Maybe his theory wasn't so far off from the truth.

"Awww!" She squealed, "He's sooo cute!"

The woman laughed as Naru blinked. Was she talking about him?

"All babies are Haru," The woman said, a small grin on her face, "Be sure to extra nice for your baby brother alright?" Naru frozen. 'B-b-b-baby brother?!' he mentally screamed, 'What the hell!?'

He felt someone poke his check, bringing him out of this mental rant. The brown haired girl, ('Haru?') was the culpurit. A sigh drew his attention to the door, where a white(?) haired boy, around the same age as Haru, was.

"Sorry about this mom," He said, (was it just him or did it detect a bit of awkwardness when he said mom?) "She bolted out of the car the moment we arrived."

The woman (who he later found out to be Susan) grinned, "Haru." She playfuly scolded, "What did we say about running out on your father?"

"Not too." the girl replied, a bit quilty., "I'm sorry."

"Oh, we all know that's bull." A new voice replied. A black-haired boy this time, a little older then the two before him, with clouded eyes. Haru just grinned in response. Well-

Something meowed, pulling the former ninja's focus out of his flashback. A fuzzy black...thing was pawing an extra pencil on the side of his desk, threatening to knock over potentually everything layed sprawled over the wooden surface.

'Train!' Naru growled, eyeing the black kitten with golden eyes, 'Get off my desk!' The kitten, Train, just mewed in response and continued playing. Honestly! Why on earth would Haru name her cat Train? Of all things! Naru rolled his eyes, it more then likely had to do with that manga, Black Cat or something, that gave her the idea. He sighed, picking up the kitten and tossing him, gently, otherwise Haru would kill him, on his bed. Train meowed angerly from begin tossed aside, drawing his claws and daring him to pull a stunt like that again! Thats got to make you wonder if Train was smarter than he looked. Naru made a mental note to look for any 'surprises' in his food for a while.

'I'm working, go away.' He glared at the cat, this was one of the moments he wished he still had his voice. The kitten made a motion that reminded Naru of someone raising an eyebrow. He looked...very amused. With what looked like a cat version of a grin, the kitten pounced, bouncing off Naru's face and snatching the thin sheet of paper, which now had at least a paragraph on it, and pranced on out of the orange room with a furious little ninja on his tail.

'TRAAAAAAAIN!' Naru shrieked, smacking his head againest a wall, as the little, black pussy cat hopped, with his kitten grace, out of path of the raging ninja. Messaging his head, Naru briefly wondered if the cat was laughing at him, considering said cat was smirking in his cat way, he wouldn't be too surprised. Now to get the damn paper from him! A game of tag began between the tiny animal and the human child, where Train would dodge and bounce his way out of every attempt to catch him, and Naru would end up with more than one sore body part before long.

He didn't know how long he chased the stupid cat, trying and failing to retrieve his paper, when Haru walked in. Train mewed and jumped from his place on the counter onto her shoulder, nuzzling her check with a affection meow. Haru frowned, rubbing Train's ear, "Naru. Any reason you decided to chase my cat around the house?" She asked, peering into the little fuz ball's eyes. Train looked so frightened! Awwww! Sneaky little bastard!

Naru's eye twitched, 'Why that little-! Pulling the sweet and innocent act you little fur ball!' As if hearing his thought, Train spared him a glance, smirking as if saying, 'I win.'

'I'll get you one day! That's a promise!' Grrr! Stupid cat!

"What happened to your head?" Naru blinked, raising a hand to discover a rather large bump on his head. He glared at the cat resting innocently on the girl's shoulder, 'It was this little thing's fault!'

Haru followed his glare, and grinned, "Awwww, is the wittle kitty giving the ninja a hard time?" She asked in mocking tone. He glared at her as she bursted out laughing. If he was human, Train would probably be laughing at him too.

'Just you wait cat,' he hissed, 'I'll expose you and your evil ways soon!'The cat grinned again as if to say 'bring it.'

And that was the beginning of an epic battle. One that would certainly amuse his siblings to no end.

This was fun to write, especially the battle between Train and Naru. Expect more to come from that alright! Now then! Leave a review and I'll give you this little extra! It was a rewrite for the original chapter 4 when my computer crashed and I had to restart it. Stupid me forgot it even existed until I was uploading this version on to the website. But I like the one above better. So! Here's what the chapter was originally like before this one! Note it does end a bit abrubtly. Sorry bout that!

Clouds. The grey blanket of moisture that signifies the coming of rain. Oh the joys of dancing around in the falling rain, and being soaked to the bone.

He never really had the chance to enjoy the rain all to much before, and never really paid to much attention to it. Only with his older sister splashing and bouncing in the nurmerous puddles that littered the ground did he actually stop and feel the rain.

Rain had always been a reminder of his darker memories. Even now, it reminded him of all his pain and suffering.

How could she like such a pity thing?

Out of all of them, she was the only one who enjoyed the rain. Even after she was told how it had been present for all their deaths.

'But I guess that's just part her nature' he thought, smiling.

Peering out the window, he spotted the little brunette girl twirling in circles dragging Allen with her. He grimanced, he did not envy Allen.

Wait... Wasn't school still in session?

Naru sighed a silent breath. How the hell did she manage to sneak both herself AND Allen past the teachers and prance around in broad daylight? If he didn't know better, he'd think she was some form of shinobi in her past life.

After School

With a final grin, Naru raced off from the classroom, followed by an explosion of pink smoke. Panicked screams filled the air, to which Naru grinned manically.

"NARUUUUUU~!"

If he could, he would laugh until his gut hurt. Watching Midori tumbling down the hallway covered in pink and orange paint, with fluffy cat ears on top with whiskers to match.

And using his awesome, kick-ass ninja skills, he slipped out the front door without anyone ever noticing.

"Hi Naru!"

Despite how his elder sister had an incredibly annoying ability to suddenly just appear of disappear out of nowhere and scare the living crap out of people, she never managed to frighten Naru. Given his past it wasn't all that surprising. Not that Haru didn't try though.

"Aww." She pouted, "Didn't scare you? Damn~! You're to good as this Naru!"

He threw her a 'well-duh-I'm-a-ninja' look.

She mock-frowned and said with a slight teasing tone to her voice, "Just cuz you're a ninja doesn't mean I won't get the drop on you sooner or later. I will succeed!" Fist pump here.
