Chapter Two
The Boy Who Played Fox
Naruto
groaned as he trudged through his front door. A loip gip greeted his ears.
“Hello
to you too Kyuubi” he laughed as he was knock off his feet by his pet fox.
able to knock someone off their feet, well Kyuubi was anything but normal. He
was born with nine small tails, which aren’t so small anymore, but over the
years he had grown to be slightly smaller than a large dog and his tails could
almost knock over Naruto’s couch. Naruto had first found the strange creature
in an animal shelter and was able to rescue him before they could put him down.
He and Kyuubi had been together for about 4 years now and everyday it was the
same thing.
“Okay
okay lemme up now.” He said pushing the animal off him and sitting up.
Getting
up he took off his shoes and proceeded to the kitchen. Opening the min fridge
where Kyuubi’s food was stored he grabbed two frozen rats and threw them in the
microwave to de-thaw, before serving them to the hungry fox.
He
put the water on for his own food before going to change and turn the stereo
on. The band Queen started playing and
Naruto smiled. Although he was in high school he didn’t really fall into the
normal teen category himself. He listened to a wide variety of music most of
which bullies at school tried beating him up for. The key word there was
“tired”. He smirked at the thought of how many people tried to beat him up over
this band.
Singing
along with the music he prepared his food. Eating it within a matter of seconds
He leaned back in his chair relaxing Patting his full tummy he smiled “That was
some good ramen.” He nodded, being bored he picked up his phone and dialed
Haku’s number, when he received no answer he shrugged.
“How
about a walk?” he asked the kitsune who was currently cleaning his paws. Kyuubi
jumped up and his tails started wagging vigorously. Naruto laughed, “I’ll take
that as a yes.” Standing he grabbed his wallet, keys and headed out the door
with Kyuubi in tow. Locking the door he walked out into the not so busy
streets. “It is a very nice day for a walk through the neighborhood.” He smiled
and started foreword, Kyuubi right beside him, better behaved than the best
trained dog.
While
walking he came across a park. “Perfect.” Grabbing a stick off the ground he
threw it. Kyuubi dashed off chasing after the stick.
“That’s
a nice arm you got there” said a voice stepping up beside him.
“Oh
thanks” he said smiled and scratching the back of his head. Looking at the new
comer Naruto smiled, she was very pretty with short blonde hair pulled back
into 4 pigtails and deep cerulean eyes. She was tall and had a very athletic
build but soft features.
“I’m
Naruto” he said introducing himself.
“Temari”
she said shaking his hand.
Kyuubi
approached the pair, stick held firmly in his jaws. He looked up at the new
comer and sniffed her before sitting beside his master dropping the stick at
his feet. Naruto pat his head fondly. “Seems like Kyuubi thinks you’re a good
person.” He smiled.
Kneeling
in front of the rather large fox Temari held out her hand for him to smell,
before she pat him softly. “He is very beautiful, mind you I have never seen a
fox this big, nor one kept as a pet.” She said as she stood up.
“Yeah
well he’s very unique, just like his master, right boy?”
Kyuubi yipped twice and wagging two of the outside tails.

Temari
laughed. “Cute, hey do you want to go for coffee or something sometime? I’m
kinda busy right now but I would like tot talk to you some more.”
“That
would be great.” Naruto said smiling brig.
“Bye!”
Naruto called after her retreating form. “Well that was odd.” he said turning
to Kyuubi.
The
two spent most of the afternoon in the park until it was well past dark. Kyuubi
and Naruto were both thoroughly tired out from their intense work out. Walking
through the door, Naruto wanted nothing less than to take a shower and collapse
on his bed but as soon as he closed the door the phone started ringing.
“Hello?”
he answered.
“Haku, hi!”
“Right
now?” he glanced at the clock.
“Sure
I guess, see ya in a few.”
After
hanging up the phone he grabbed even more clothes to change into and quickly
hoped into the shower. Cursing as he turned the water on freezing he had no
time to do much.
Stepping
out of the shower two minutes later freezing cold, he got dressed and grabbed
his wallet and key’s once more.
“See
you later buddy.” He grinned shaking his head to dry his hair a little.
Walking
out the door he locked it and headed towards the bus stop. While waiting for
the bus Naruto spotted some people from practice, he smiled, they weren’t
exactly ‘nice’ to him but they weren’t mean and didn’t pick on him.
The
bus ride there was rather uneventful but that was fine by Naruto, mind you he
was bored out of his mind and wanted some form of entertainment on the
seemingly endless ride to nowhere.
In
his board haze he almostsed sed his stop. Getting off the bus he spotted Haku
getting out of a sleek black car. Waving to someone inside he
turned and faced Naruto, smiling when he saw his blonde friend.
“Hey Haku!” Naruto greeted grinning broadly and walking over to the young man.
“Naruto-san”
Haku smiled. “I am very pleased you could make it.”
“Yeah
no problem” the blonde grinned, “So what are we going to see?”
“I
don’t know just yet, I just thought it would be nice to hang out, outside of
school.” The brunette smiled once more.
Walking
into the movie theater Naruto’s eyes widened. It was packed, there was about
every student from his new school and his old one there, and more.
“Is
this like the local hang out or something?” he asked blinking.
Haku
chuckled “Kinda yeah, basically it’s where all the guys go to pick up girls,
and where all the girls go to get picked up.”
Naruto
laughed “and what about you Haku? Why do you come here?”
“I
come here to enjoy the movies.”
Walking
up to the teller they looked at what was playing and finally decided on a
movie. Buying their food and drink the pair headed into the theater half an
hour early so they could talk in piece and quiet.
“Come
on Choji don’t you think you have enough food already?” Ino whined as the boy
stood in line deciding what else to buy.
The
once chubby boy had now grown to become captain of both the football and
wrestling teams. He lost all his fat and turned it into muscle. His body
thinned out now giving him the perfect athlete’s build. Ino had started dating
him in grade nine, and after enduring much teasing from her fellow classmates
and friends she stuck by his side the whole time. His kindness exceeding that
of any guys good looks, even those of the famous Uchiha’s.
“Sorry”
he said turning towards the smaller blonde haired girl and smiling sweetly,
“you know I can’tp myp myself when it comes to food.”
She
smiled back and took his arm. “It’s ok.” She said sighed and resting her head
against his muscular arm. They headed towards the theater where their movie was
located.
”Hey
Ino, Choji!” a cheerful voice called stopping the couple in their tracks.
Turning around Ino saw her best friend and fellow competitor Haruno Sakura with
her boyfriend Rock Lee.
“Hey
Sakura, Lee-san, you guys going to see the movie too?”
“Hai”
Lee said smiling holding the pink haired girl close to him.
Sakura
smiled. Lee who was once the laughing stock of the whole school had finally
showed his true strength not to mention ditched the green spandex and beetles
haircut. During his 4 years of high school Lee has filled out nicely and his
once lanky, thin form was now a well toned body. His hair had once more grown
long like it had been when he was a child and was more untidy than the once
perfect bowel shape it had been just a few years prior.

The
four entered the theater and got seats oblivious too the two boys sitting in
the back.
Not
too long after the theater started filling up with noisy excited teens and
Naruto rolled his eyes, “Ok I know I’m loud but still isn’t this a little much
for a movie? I mean we are waiting for a movie to start and it’s louder in here
than an amusement park.”
Haku
giggled “Sorry Naruto-san but this is only the beginning.”
Naruto
groaned and fake fainting causing Haku to burst out into a fit of laughter.
Naruto smiled happily at his friends’ reaction. It made him feel good that he
could make Haku laugh like that. The movie started and Naruto grew silent
watching the screen. There were many advertisements of a bunch of sappy romance
ms, as, a few actions and to his dismay no previews for up coming comedies. “Well
that blows.” he mumbled.
Naruto
wasn’t really there to watch the movie, really he had no interest for suspense
movies, he found he could never follow the story lines and just ended up
falling asleep during them but he was here to keep Haku company
so he forced himself to stay awake. Diverting his attention from the large
screen Naruto looked at the people surrounding Haku and himself. He noticed the
two couples that had entered the theater not to long after him and chuckled
silently to himself. The blonde and the light brown haired boye cue cuddling
cutely whereas the black haired boy was pulling the old yawning arm trick on
the pink haired girl. He laughed when the she reached up and pulled him close
for a quick kiss.
Shifting
his gaze to other people he noticed a boy sitting in the theater with a pair of
sunglasses covering his eyes. ‘Now why
didn’t I think of that?’ Naruto thought. Looking at “Sunglasses” partner
Naruto nearly burst out laughing when he saw the brown haired boy rubbing his
leg gently. ‘Well I guess not all of the
school is as stuck up as Uchiha.’ He smirked inwardly when “Sunglasses”
turned and took the other boy’s hand in his. Naruto smiled, it was sweet.
Continuing
to look around he saw no one else of too much interest, there was the quiet
blue haired girl Hinata from his math class sitting next to a boy with a dog on
his head, and next to him was some boy he didn’t recognize. Shrugging he turned
back to the movie just in time to see a girl’s head get chopped off.
The
theater was filled with shout of protest and many moans of disgust. Naruto
laughed loudly and Haku smiled at this. “Enjoying the movie Naruto-san?” Haku
whispered.
“Yeah”
he whispered back.
When
the movie was over Naruto was talking rapidly at Haku about how gruesome it was
near the end and how the one girl ran from the theater crying. Haku smiled.
“I’m glad you liked it.”
“Yeah
it was actually quite good. He waited with Haku until his ride came before
waving good bye. Catching the bus home Naruto almost fell asleep, between
practice, exercising with Kyuubi and sitting through though the movie Naruto
was completely exhausted.
Walking
through the door he barely remembered to lock it and take his shoes off. Making
sure all the windows were closed and locked Naruto turned off all the lights
and made his way to the bedroom. Kyuubi was already asleep in the middle of the
bed. Changing and brushing his teeth Naruto shoved the fox over and crawled
underneath the covers. Kyuubi shifted position so that his head rest on Naruto’s
tummy right over top of his birthmark tattoo. Ever since Kyuubi was a pup he
had slept on top of Naruto’s belly, drawing comfort from the spiral design. Now
being much bigger all he could fit on the blonde’s smooth abdomen was his head
and he slept like this every night.
“umi-umi-nasi
Kyuubi-kun” Naruto mumbled before falling fast asleep.
