Damn... sorry here's the real one.

Seems Deidara will be the one to become a girl. Only thing I have to do is say it looks like Ino.

Sorry for the late update. School and everything. Not to mention I just finished Assassin's Creed and am in a hunt for Assassin's Creed II. Speaking of hunts, I can't beat that damn dinosaur thing covered in mud in Monster Hunter Tri! Anybody have any suggestions on killing the Barroth (Is that what it's called?)?

I should've mentioned that Nel will be a little girl for the rest of this fic. Sorry for the ones who wanted the hot Nel, but it'd be rather confusing if Shippo was a kid while she was a babe since they're twins.

I don't own Naruto, and I doubt someone would say the do. Unless it's Kishimoto-sama, then I have nothing to say about that.


Naruto sat there while the two kids rubbed their faces against his cheeks and began to purr. These two were kids... and thought he was their uncle? Wow... Talk about the unexpected.

"Uh... Who are they exactly?" Naruto asked Shishi, who only sighed while placing his hands behind his head and leaning back on the couch.

"Lessee... I'm the first, then comes Akyo, and finally the twins. Basically they're my little brother and sister. Also your brother- and sister-in-law, but they're still too young. So you're their uncle for now." Shishi mumbled, his eyes closed. Naruto meanwhile was being hugged fiercely by the two little kids.

He pulls them off his head before placing both on either of his laps, Shippo on the right and Nel on the left. "Hey there. Why don't you two introduce yourselves properly?" asked Naruto kindly. The two kids nodded happily, both jumping in excitement.

"Mii, mii! Um, I'm Neliel, but yuz can calls mii Nel! I like, uh, my bwother, an the gween color, and my mommy, and how rozes smell. They smell nice! I wanna be like momma when I'm older. I don like it when people pull my eahs. It huits. And pevets. Mommy says pevets aw evil." she pouted near the end. Naruto chuckled before turning to Shippo.

"Hai! I'm Shippo. I like my mommy, candy, and prankin'! I hate brocoly, when I's grounded, or when Chichi goes crazy."

"It's Shishi brat!" Shishi shouted.

"Dats wut I's said!" Shippo said innocently. Shishi grumbled and crossed his arms, deciding to try to ignore the little idiot. "Anyways, I like the color blue, and I wanna be awesome like Chichi-nii-sama when I'm older!" Shishi smirked at this. It was pretty cool when you're the only shadow-fox who could use their raw strength to tear away enemies when your clan was all about stealth and tricks. Not to mention his... 'problem' when he went crazy. Not really crazy, just attacked without thinking at his maximum potential.

"Is that so? Well, how would you like to stay for breakfast?" asked Naruto.

"YAH!" shouted the kids before running to the kitchen. Naruto soon heard them talking to Kyuubi and Akyo before helping them out. Mainly by eating most of the things before it was time.

"Nice kids." mumbled Shishi grinning. "Though trouble makers, they still have some potential. Shippo is pretty fast and strong, making him a good fighter and might be my apprentice. And Nel can be quiet when she wants to be, so she might be a good assassin."

"Yup!" Nel said suddenly from behind Shishi's head. Shishi screamed in surprise before jumping straight up and slamming his head on the ceiling. He came back down and landed in the middle of the room. "Heeheehee. Nii-sama went up then down. Hehe. Byebye!" Nel giggled, running back to the kitchen.

Shishi picked himself up before mumbling about stupid midgets. "Back to business. My mother wants me to take care of those two for a while. Probably a year or so." Seeing Naruto's quirked eyebrow, "You see, nobody was too alarmed the first year Kyuubi-sama was gone. Usually all new Kyuubi take a year or so of vacation from their leadership. Last guy with the Kyuubi title went as far as having a five-year vacation. However, since Kyuubi-sama has been gone for six years, they became worried and sent out some demons to scout. Akyo, being the girl she is, wanted to help and ended up almost being skinned alive.

"So now that they know where Kyuubi-sama is and what trouble she's in, some of us were almost sent to hunt you down and rip Kyuubi-sama from your gut. Akyo quickly stopped them, not wanting them to hurt you, and I backed her up. After all, it's not every day Akyo decides to protect a human. So she said she'd keep an eye on you or something, though it's obvious it was only to stay with you all the time. And now, today, the old rugs/elders have decided to crown a new Kyuubi. They pretty much gave up on aunt Hikari and decided that it's better to chose someone else."

"Wait a second." Naruto interrupted. "Are you saying Kyu-chan's name isn't Kyu-chan?"

"No. You see, when you're pronounced Kyuubi, for some reason, you loose your name until a new Kyuubi arrives. That Kyuubi will stay Kyuubi, their birth name only used by their family members and other things. So, as I was saying, the demon world is in an uproar as they try to decide a new Kyuubi. Mom told me to take the kids over here for a little vacation. Anyway, the ones that are seven-tailed and above are currently fighting over the title. Well, some of them. My mom just stays out of it and tries to keep the damage at a minimum. All-in-all, it's a pain in the ass."

"A new... Kyuubi?" came a soft voice behind Naruto. He turned to see Kyu- er, Hikari there, looking surprised.

"Hikari-chan?" Naruto asked. Kyuubi looked surprised he knew her name, but nodded.

"S-sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I forgot to mention it, Naruto-kun." she apologized.

"Don't apologize. It's okay." Naruto smiled at her reassuringly, her cheeks flushing a bit as she returned the smile.

"So that's why I brought the twins here. Happy with the explanation?" Shishi concluded, his eyes closing as he finally relaxed.

Bad idea.

"CHICHI-NII-SAMA!" shouted Nel into his left ear. He yelped and suddenly was hanging from the chandelier in the kitchen, his six tails exposed and the hairs standing on end. Nel giggled more. "Sowy Nii-sama!" she waved at him as he glared at her while the hairs went back to normal.

"You sure don't look sorry, little twerp!" he growled out. He yelped again when he felt something yank one of his tails. Shippo.

"Get down Nii-sama! It's tim fo' bweakfast!" said the little demon while swinging from the tail he was on. Shishi grumbled, but relented and began to climb down. After that small incident, the whole family sat down and began eating some bacon, beef jerky, and pancakes. Naruto smiled, this was what he always imagined having a family would be like. Sure, his parents were replaced by his two lovers, but it still made him happy. For now, he would relish in the feeling.


(Some Time Later)

Naruto was currently hopping from roof to roof as he made his way to the hospital with a handful of flowers in his sun was shining, kids were out, Shishi was hunting for...

Oh shit.

Naruto quickly made a shadow-clone and gave it the flowers before quickly tackling Shishi in the middle of the street. "No, you fool!" shouted Naruto while getting a good grip of Shishi's fur. "You can't have any as long as me and Sakura are around!"

"Oh, come on! Just for a few minutes?"

"No!"

"How 'bout two?"

"Very funny. Now go back and take care of Nel and Shippo." Naruto ordered. Grumbling more, Shishi went back to the estate and went back to babysitting. Naruto sighed, but at least Konoha was safe from a rampaging Shishi... for now...

He returned to the clone and took the flowers before the clone dispersed, and headed to his destination. Again, he didn't notice the eyes on him, looking at him with a mixture of hate and envy.


(Hospital)

Hinata was pretty much ecstatic when she saw Naruto jump through the open window and land beside her with a bouquet of flowers. They were beautiful, and she could tell they weren't from the Yamanaka flower shop. He said it was from his new home, the Yondaime's estate. When Hinata asked him why he lived there, he simply grinned and said, "All in due time, Hinata-chan."

"S-so why d-did you come, N-Naruto-kun." she stuttered shyly. Naruto's grin grew a bit more. No matter how much time passed, she still didn't stop stuttering. But hey, he wasn't complaining. It was actually the cutest thing he's ever seen her do, along with her blush.

"Well, I was thinking for a while and realized you barely know anything about the real me. So let's start with the usual introductions, shall we?" Naruto said. "I am Naruto Uzumaki. My likes are training, eating ramen, and my new family. My dislikes are arrogant people, rapists, those who would hurt my loved ones, and when my 'brother' goes a bit... out of control. My hobbies are swordplay, hanging out with Konohamaru, being with those close to me, and being outdoors during the night. Your turn, please."

"M-my name is H-Hyuuga Hinata. I like c-cynamon buns, m-my family, a-and... y-you." she nearly whispered the last part, but Naruto managed to hear it and smiled at her. "I di-dislike the caged-bird seal, r-rapists, and the p-people who would hurt you. My hobbies are cooking, c-children, a-and practicing my jyuken." she said shyly.

"Good to know you haven't changed much, Hinata-chan." Naruto commented happily. "So, I kind of need to tell you something else. As you know, I hold Kyuubi and have access to all her youki." Seeing Hinata nod, "Well, I found a way to heal you much faster, but involves me bitting your neck. Basically, I have to... mark you." Naruto said with an embarrassed laugh.

Kiba already told her what marking was, and that it's pretty much like being given a ring. Hinata madly blushed as images went through her head. Too bad they weren't exactly the most innocent things in the world. So she fainted nearly fifteen seconds after those images entered her head as her face was so red, a tomato would be pale by comparison.

"Wow, that's a new record. She usually passes out after ten seconds." mumbled Naruto with a smirk. He walked over to her and kissed her on the lips lightly. "Sweet dreams Hinata-chan. See you soon." he whispered. Just as he was about to leave, he sighed and mumbled "What are you doing here?"

"Just curious why you had flowers." Shishi nonchalantly said. He was sitting in one of the chairs, though he decorated it with a few shadows to make it more comfortable. By that,I mean it was made of a black stone, an eye hanging from one of the heads around it, and had multiple animal skins. All-in-all, a very imposing figure. However, the two kids on either shoulder killed the impression. They instantly jumped off and landed on Naruto, giggling like crazy and hugging him.

Shippo noticed Hinata and jumped over to her, sitting on one of the chairs. "Who she?" asked the boy innocently.

"Her name is Hyuuga Hinata. She might be one of my mates should she agree." Naruto responded before turning to Shishi. "So how's being a babysitter feel?"

"Like shit!" mumbled Shishi, before his eyes widened when he realized he said it out loud. Soon, Nel appeared next to him holding a jar with money inside. "Crap." mumbled Shishi before putting some money into it. Nel just giggled before going back to Hinata, continuing to poke the sleeping girl.

"What was that all about?" asked Naruto to Shishi.

"(Sigh) She began this last year. Every time she hears someone swear, she'll pull out her trusty 'Cuss-cup' and ask you for money. If you don't pay, she'll keep pestering until you do give her. The worst is that my mom actually agrees." explained Shishi. Naruto nodded and made a mental note to keep a watch over his mouth when Nel was around. "You know, I don't see what you see in this chick. Besides the nice figure, not much to see here."

Naruto growled at him menacingly. "I love her because she's kind to me and those around her. She can also become a great Shinobi once I begin training her, since the Jyuken isn't fluid enough for her. I should probably combine it with the Black-fist. Not to mention I have faith that she'll be someone great."

"Okay, okay." Shishi said, bringing his arms up in a placating manner. "Sorry for saying anything." There was silence for a moment, the only sound being the children playing around with stuff they found around the room. Suddenly, a perverted grin came across Shishi's face. "Although, the shy ones, I've heard they're screamers! Oh, I met this one girl tha-"

"SHUT UP!" shouted Naruto before tackling Shishi and strangling the demon, who tried hitting Naruto with a chair. The two kids just shrugged it off. Older people are so weird.


Good, bad, piece of shit?

I dunno, I know it's short and I haven't updated, but I never said I would update by schedule... I think.

Anyway, please review. I already said reviews make me happy, so that way I update more.

Ja ne!
