Chapter 9: The walk home

Iaf found out her house was the same way as Naruto's, Hinata's, Tenten's and Kiba's.

As they were walking Tenten decided to start a conversation.

"Hey Iaf-san that was cool, you can really dodge" she said looking over at said girl.

"Yer that was cool, how did you move so quick?" Naruto asked, Iaf stopped walking "well it wasn't me it was Hikari" she told them looking up at the sky.

"Hikari?" Kiba questioned, Iaf looked at him and nodded "my sisters spirit"

"Ohh" Naruto, Tenten and Kiba chorused, Hinata was told earlier so she was the only one who didn't react.

"Because I have Hikari inside me, some of my senses and abilities have doubled, like my sense of hearing and my ability to dodge and speed" Iaf explained, Naruto looked as confused as an idiot being told long scientific words "Naruto you don't understand do you?" she asked and Naruto shook his head, Iaf sighed and started walking again "what I mean is I can run faster, hear better and react to thins quicker then a normal human does" she said trying to put it as simple as she can.

"Oh I get it now" Naruto said grinning.

Iaf giggled a little and kept walking.

A little further ahead the road branched out into three paths, one going left, one going straight ahead and one going right (like a crossroad)

When they reached the branch of paths a little white dog came running up to them from the right pathway, Kiba bent down "hey boy, come to pick me up again?" he asked as the dog jumped into his arms, Iaf giggled as the dog barked in response to Kiba's question.

"So who is this little guy?" she asked, Kiba turned towards her "this is Akamaru, he's my dog" he answered as Iaf pat Akamaru.

"Well we got to go, see ya tomorrow" Naruto called out as he and Hinata walked down the left path.

"Yer I should go too, bye" Tenten said before walking down the pathway to the right, Iaf waved and turned to Kiba "do you go down this way?" he asked pointing to the middle pathway, Iaf nodded "cool let's go" he said grinning, he put Akamaru down and started walking, Akamaru following at his heels.

As they walked Kiba talked some more about P.E. "You were really good, I mean at the beginning you sucked, no offence"

Iaf smiled slightly "that's fine I do suck at it"

Kiba grinned "but then you were amazing, you were dodging and throwing like you had been doing it for years" he went on, waving his arms around dramatically as Iaf giggled.

"No I haven't been doing it for years, Hikari just loves Dodgeball" she said.

"Oh okay, but near the end you changed back how come?" he asked.

"Whenever one of us is exhausted the other one takes over, she got tired from all the dodging and stuff so she gave control to me" Iaf explained, Kiba nodded slowly taking it all in.

Akamaru barked and Kiba put him on his head, Iaf laughed "you look so funny like that, it's kinda cute" she said giggling, Kiba blushed a little

"Just like when all the girls thought you were kinda cute when Sasori pulled you into him" he teased and it was Iaf's turn to blush.

Seeing Iaf go red Kiba laughed which made Iaf's blush deepen.

"Don't worry about it Iaf-san, Sasori only does that sometimes so he isn't the last one on the field" Kiba reassured her, Iaf nodded "but why only the girls?" she asked a bit confused, Kiba grinned "I think most of the boys were angry with Sasori getting you embarrassed" he told her.

"O~kay" she replied even more confused, Kiba sighed "look now that your our friend, if someone embarrasses you the others are going to get defensive" he explained.

"Oh, okay and you don't have to call me Iaf-san after all you're my friend and it kinda makes me confused because I'm not used to my name being called with honorifics, I feel like everyone's calling me their son" Iaf said stopping again.

"Really? Where are you from?" Kiba asked stopping beside her.

"Just some little town in England but I learned a lot of Japanese because it was my favourite subject" Iaf said with a small smile as she moved forward to pat Akamaru (still on Kiba's head)

"So why did you move?" Kiba asked as Iaf patted Akamaru, Iaf's smile faltered for a second but Kiba caught it.

"I just needed to get away that's all, a change in scenery" Iaf replied, a fake smile in place "well this is my house" she added pointing to the house behind her.

"Really? My house is just down the street" Kiba replied, Iaf nodded and turned around walking to the two-story house "I'll see you tomorrow" she called over her shoulder.

"I'll come pick you up and we can walk to school with Naruto, Hinata and Tenten" Kiba told her and Akamaru backed as if to say 'see you tomorrow', Iaf turned around and smiled "okay, I would like that thank you"

Kiba grinned and took Akamaru off his head and put him back on the ground "I'll be here at around 8:30, Okay?"

Iaf nodded and opened the front door "um, Kiba can you not tell anyone that I came from England, I'll tell the others when I'm ready its just something that can not get around" she asked turning back to Kiba "Sure, come on Akamaru let's go" he said running down the street "see you tomorrow Iaf-Chan" he added halfway down the street.

"Iaf-Chan? That's not what I meant but I guess it's okay" Iaf said to her self as she entered the house.

"I'm home!" she called out as she took off her shoes and a young teenaged girl with shoulder length brown hair came out of one of the rooms and walked over to Iaf.

"Welcome home Dutchess"
