Chapter Two
Somewhat Settled
The blond haired boy looked suspiciously at the two wolves in front of him, because one, they had dragged him to a village, and two, he was only wearing a shirt (at least it went to his knees) that the taller of the two had kindly let him borrow. They were also leading him through the streets of said village, the Hokage requested that he not leave the village until she figured things out.
He could already hear the harsh whispers, and confusion as they past citizens, each wondering who, what, and how on the fox's existence. Hadn't he been born just as any other demon? Through two people's love for each other? Naruto stayed close to the two wolves, though he did not trust them, he trusted them more then the villagers who had done nothing but show disdain and hate for him since he arrived.
~~Silly Break~~~
Itachi kept as close an eye on the fox as his brother did, there was something enchanting about the slightly lost look in the blond's eyes, his almost hopeless demeanor. Or maybe it was the raw power that lay just beyond the blond's reach. Itachi smirked lightly as he presented the Uchiha Manor and district, The blond's eye's widened as looked at the row of abandoned but well kept houses and stores that lied beyond the gate.
It was beautiful and sad at the same time, each house and store had some of the personality of it's shopkeepers and owners locked away inside. He could hear the lingering sounds of children's laughter, the polite chitter chatter of passing people, and he could feel the underlining darkness of death everywhere. He looked up at the oldest of the wolves
"everyone's dead here" he shivered and stepped back,
even though he knew ghosts could do nothing to him, even though there was nothing to fear, he still was uncomfortable in a place that had seen, tasted so much death. Itachi cocked an eyebrow at the teen,
"people die all the time, in times of war." Sasuke said,
he knew neither he nor his brother wanted to discuss the massacre.
The blond looked around again, his eyes a little distant, before he nodded, he could handle this, besides his legs were getting cold from the lack of bottoms. The manor was large inside, it seemed way too big for just the two to be staying, but Naruto could scent no other's in the house, it was just as empty as the rest of the Uchiha compound, well kept but nearly un-lived in. A crow demon appeared beside the door, a very odd demon, His silver hair shot up on one side, the eye on the side was also covered along with his mouth.
All Naruto could do was say "um" at the sudden appearance of such a strange man. The crow demon smiled with his eyes
"My, my, such a long time since I've been in the presence of a blond foxy companion. I believe it was you're father before?" He said leaning in close to the little fox's face
"No, my father was a red fox" Naruto frowned at the crow,
he didn't like talking about his parents, Kyuubi and Minato. Kakashi quickly hid his confusion, he looked very much like his old mentor Minato, who was the only other Golden fox he had met.
Kakashi just waved it off for now and turned to the two Uchiha's
"I hope the patrol went smoothly, but to bring home something so... yummy, I'm sure it did" he disappeared again in a small plume of smoke and leaves.
Itachi sighed and lead the fox to an upstairs bedroom,
"My room is on the right, Sasuke's room is on the left. Directly across the hall is the restroom."
Naruto nodded, he still didn't see why he was here, it seemed like the whole village hated him. It made him very nervous, maybe the two wolves and the crow man from before were nice, he mindless tugged at the bandages on his injured arm.
~~Serious Break~~
Tsunade sat alone in her office, rereading a document. Other hidden villages were having a problem of keeping humans off their territory, and from the looks of it small battles were starting out on the borderlands. Tsunade seriously hoped this would be over soon. She turned to the window over looking her peaceful village, she had already lost so much to human greed, she would not let them take away their homes as well.
The hare sighed and returned to signing the scrolls that towered high over her desk, she had a very bad feeling, and it wouldn't go away.
~~Sleepy Break~~
Naruto sat on the in the room Itachi had placed him, The room was very bare, it felt un-lived in. He laid back, even though he was somewhere relatively safe, he kind missed his cave, but at least he wasn't alone anymore. Sure he had been basically kidnapped by the two wolves (and dog) and forced to stay inside the demons village, but he could talk to the demons here. Maybe even make friends!
Suddenly excited he sat up, his tails wagging happily behind him and his ears perked on top his head, his new goal was to make friends. He made make as many friends as he possibly could, then he wouldn't feel weird, right? He smiled brightly and laid back down, being here wouldn't be so bad, he decided before drifting off to sleep.
