Chapter 7: On the Road Again
 
And so they left, the motley group of eight finally went through the gate of Konoha and headed west.
 
“So where are we going?” Naruto asked.
 
“Hmm…I don't know.” Answered Sasuke, he continue, “That girl, Kiari I think? Never told us.”
 
Naruto stole a glance a Kiari, she seemed lost in thought. He turned to Kimi, to see her flirting with Kakashi. `Gross,' he thought turning to Kiki, his last chance at getting the answer to his question. She was walking with Iruka, enjoying the view.
 
“Um, Kiki-san, where are we going?”
 
Kiki looked at him for a moment, seeming to be debating what she should tell him, she settled for - “Why, we are all headed to my hometown, Naruto.”
 
“Where's that?” He continued on his line of questioning.
 
She hesitated before saying, “Just west of Konoha.”
`West, but only the waste land lies west - or so it is thought, none who have been brave enough to venture west have ever come back.' Naruto contemplated. He was curious now so he asked, “Why are we headed west?”
 
He received no answer though and when he turned back to Kiki; he saw that she was amiably chatting with Iruka, `maybe Kyuubi will know' he thought as he turned back and looked forward. He noticed Kiari had been focus on his previous conversation with Kiki. `Weird, it seems like their hiding something, maybe I can find out what it is - better do it after Kiari trusts me though, she looks she wouldn't mind castrating any of us (or in Sakura case something equally painful) if we hurt her sisters. Maybe I'll strike up a conversation…'
 
`Well of course she's protective of what's her's; she is part demon after all - just like you would be if someone was threatening something that was yours'
 
`What do you mean?' And why have you been so quiet?' question Naruto of his other half, better and sexier half if you ask Kyuubi himself.
 
`Well, most demons are EXTREMELY territorial,especially Inus,and have absolutely no qualms about killing anything that threatens what they consider “theirs” meaning family, friends, money, land, etc. As for why I've been quiet, I thought I'd give you a chance to get to know “Kiari” before she becomes our mate, again, without my interference. Kind of me, ne?'
 
`Yes Kyuubi, your just SO generous.' Naruto exclaimed with mock enthusiasm.
 
`Thank You, Kit!'Replied the fox
 
`Um Fox, I was being sarcastic.' Naruto said and added before the Nine tails could reply, `Now go away so I can talk to our `mate''
 
`Aye, aye mon Capitaine The Kitsune replied, with his own mock enthusiasm showing just how much he appreciated the young Kit's sarcastic comment, before leaving with a `Ja Ne'
 
`Damn, I forgot to ask him what lay in the western lands' he remembered as he decided to try and strike up a conversation with Kiari.
They chatted as amiably as the happy couples they traveled with and to every other traveler that passed by the seemed every bit the couple s those around them, all avoided that more than half the people currently traveling had no idea where they were going - at the moment it was simply unimportant.
 
Once the first signs of dark appeared, they had hit the first checkpoint, and decided that they would settle down for the night.
At the inn they asked for two rooms, one for the girls and one for the boy.
“Would you, fine young people, car for joining rooms?” The kind old inn-keeper asked.
`Yes! That way we can sneak in to be with our mate!' exclaimed Kyuubi, who thankfully hadn't spoken to him much.
“That would be very much appreciated sir.” Voice Kakashi with a perverted smile on his face, apparently thinking along the line of the Nine-Tails, while wrapping his arms around Kimi.
`You sure he isn't a kitsune, kit?' questioned Kyuubi noting Kakashi's antics, as the inn-keeper handed them the keys to their rooms.
`I really don't know anymore.' Naruto thought tiredly as he prepared for bed, as the adults talked of sleeping arrangements.
**Half an Hour Later**
Naruto tiredly climbed into the last empty bed, or at least what he thought was an empty bed.
