(One year later)
 
Tsunade sighed as she looked out the window. I t had all ready been one year since Naruto and Gaara left.
 
That brat better hurry up and come back. I miss him so much.
 
******
(At Konoha gates)
 
Three figures in cloaks were coming up to gates. One had a red cloak, another a blue cloak and the last one in a sandy brown cloak. Each wore masks. A fox, a dragon, and a raccoon.
 
The guards tensed when the three cloaked figures came up to them.
 
“You there!” a guard shouted. State your name and purpose!
 
No one answered. (Lets just call the guard bob.) Bob walked up to them. Did you hear me!
 
Once again there was no answer.
 
Suddenly fire, water, and sand surrounded the three. They all disappeared by the time the other guards came.
 
Should we tell the hokage? Hai. Whoever they were they were strong.
 
******
(Hokage tower)
 
Tsunade gasped when three strangers popped into her room.
 
Who are you! Ne Tsunade-no-baachan, is that any way to greet an old friend?
 
…..Naruto?
Hai. The red cloaked figure slowly took off his fox mask showing a blond haired kid with amazing blue eyes.
 
It's me. Naruto smiled gave her a big hug.
 
Naruto! I missed you so much! After breaking the hug Tsunade turned to the two other cloaked figures. She looked at the raccoon mask.
 
Gaara is that you? The figure slowly took off his mask showing it was him. He gave her a small smile. Hai hokage-sama.
 
Tsunade smiled. He's improved so much with his social skills. Its small but it's a big jump compared to before.
 
Who is your partner? The cloaked figure with the dragon mask took it off. It showed a very pretty boy that looked more girl than boy. He also had long horns coming from his head. (Not bull horns. Dragon!)
 
My name is Haku.
 
*****
 
Kakashi was so bored. Ever since the incident last year he disbanded team 7. Now all he had to do was be lazy. (Like he already wasn't)
 
An Anbu popped in front of Kakshi.
 
Hatake-san, the hokage would like you to come to her office.
 
Hai. Well, it looks like another boring mission.
 
******
 
Haku? “Tsunade asked.” The mist nin? But aren't you supposed to be dead? Haku smiled sadly.
 
Naruto chose that time to speak.
 
Well you see baa-chan it went like this.
 
(flashback)
 
Naruto and Gaara had just finished visiting Lightning country and decided to come back to wave country once more.
 
Naruto showed Garaa the bridge since they hadn't had the chance to see it last time. Gaara still couldn't believe they would they would make a bridge and name it “The Great Naruto Bridge.”
 
This is it Gaara. “Naruto said.” They were in front of two graves. This is were Zubaza and Haku were buried.
 
Gaara knelt down. Something didn't feel right. The soil was telling him the one called Haku was alive.
 
Oi kit! One of them is alive! Eh?
 
He's right Naruto. You sure Gaara? Gaara nodded. They quickly dug into the ground. They saw Haku covered in blood.
 
Kit let me take over. I can heal him. He's in a type of coma. I also think there's a genjutsu around him.
 
Yea he doesn't seem normal. “Shukaku added.” Ok first thing first. Kai!
 
“Is he a demon?” Gaara asked. No. He's youki. One of his parents must have been a dragon demon.
 
Gaara watched as Kyuubi healed him. With the genjustu gone horns, a pair of wings, claws and a tail appeared.
 
Once Kyuubi finished they took Haku back to the house.
 
(End flashback)
 
And that's how it happened.
 
Wow. That's crazy. Naruto laughed while waving his tail. They had taken off their cloaks so their animal parts were showing.
 
Naruto tell me about what you learned. Where did you go? We went basically everywhere.
 
Of course we stayed away from wind country and we didn't stay long in stone country since there were a few problems.
 
We learned so many techniques! I also have a blood line! Well its kinda Kyuubi's but I can use it!
 
Tsunade got interested. What can you do? Well I have complete control of fire. Just like Gaara with sand and Haku with water. I can also call upon other element at will although I'm better with fire.
 
I see. What about you Gaara? He looked at her. All of us have learned to summon several different animal. Mine include a phoenix, salamander, wolf, and raccoon.
 
Naruto can summon a toad, (duh) raven, foxes, and a wolf.
 
Haku can summon dragons, bunnies, cheetahs and wolves.
 
Why do you all summon wolves? “Tsunade questioned.”
 
Haku answered this time. We met a bunch of wolf demons who got in trouble. Its best not to go into detail at the moment but we saved them and we were rewarded with summoning.
 
Uh huh. Baa-chan? A vein popped in her head. WHAM! Itai. It hurts. Sheesh, I was just gonna ask you about the chunnin exams. We kind of need an instructor.
 
Tsunade smiled. Don't worry. Kakashi is coming, remember?
 
(Flashback)
 
Tsunade called to and anbu and told him to find Hatake Kakashi.
 
(End flashback)
 
Just then the door knocked. That must be him. COME IN! “she yelled.”
 
Kakashi put his head through the door. Yo! Kakashi-sensei!
 
Gasp* Naruto!
 
*****
Naruto, Gaara, and Haku just finished telling them about most of their travels. Although it had only been one year all three of them accomplished a lot.
 
Kakashi apologized to Haku many times since he did know that he was alive.
 
Haku forgave him.
 
Ne baa-chan where are we going to stay? A vein popped in her head but instead tossed him some keys and a small box.
 
You and your friends will live at your father's mansion. My father? Hai.
Its time you know. Your father was Arashi. Naruto's eyes widened.
 
You mean my dad was the guy who sealed Kyuubi in me?! Tsunade stayed silent but Kakashi spoke up. Naruto your father loved you very much. I was there when Kyuubi attacked.
 
He told me to tell you not to think of Kyuubi as a curse but a gift. He did it to save everyone.
 
Your father's reason was a good one. Everyone's head turned to Gaara who just spoke up. He glared at everyone, not used to being the center of attention.
 
Your father sealed a demon inside of you to protect everyone. My father only did it to me to make a weapon.
 
Naruto smiled sadly. Sorry Gaara. I'm not mad, I was just surprised. Haku smiled. Don't worry Naruto, when we get to our new home I'll cook a big dinner.
 
YAY! HAKU'S COOKING IS THE BEST! This caused everyone to smile.
 
“Naruto,” Tsunade said. That box has some scrolls in there that were your fathers. Be careful. Hai. Another thing Naruto…. What is with all of your necklaces? They all had a strange necklace with a small ball of stuff in it. Naruto had red fire with a hint of black in it. Gaara had sand and Haku held water.
 
They smiled. Gaara only smirked. They're our pets. “Naruto answered.” Your pets? HAI!
 
I'll show you. All three of them took the ball in their hand and squished it, letting the fire, sand or water fall. In a poof there were three kittens. Kakashi and Tsunade sweatdropped. They though something stronger and fiercer would come out.
 
Haku smiled. Do not judge them just yet. They have the abilities to turn into dragons. They are still very strong in this form as well.
 
Where did you find them? “Kakashi asked.” Naruto smirked. We made them.
 
Eh?
 
Yea! We met this clan that specialize in dragons. They taught us how to make `special pets' and let them be your battle partner. All of them can turn into dragons. Pretty cool huh?
 
So you made them with you chakra? Hai. Can we see them in dragon form? No. No?
 
Maybe later Kakashi-sensei. By the way where is the house at? Tsunade smirked. Your so called house is a mansion. It's near the Hyuuga mansion. I've sent for someone to take you to it.
 
Just then the door knocked. Come in! “Tsunade called.” Hinata stepped in. Right away her eyes grew huge.
 
Naruto-kun! Hey Hinata-chan! Naruto smiled at her witch caused her to blush. Eh? What's wrong Hinata-chan? You look all red. Everyone rolled their eyes. Brat! She likes you! You think so Kyuubi? Yep. I think she would make a nice mate. Naruto blushed at that.
 
Gaara grinned since he heard the conversation. Meow! Huh? Hinata looked down and saw a red kitten that looked a lot like a fox rubbing against her leg.
 
Naruto-kun, is he yours? Yep. His name is sukoshi (little prankster.) Naruto pointed to Gaara who had a sand colored cat with black circles around his eyes on top of his head. Her name is taki. (Waterfall.)
 
Why is she called that? “Hinata asked.” Naruto, Gaara and a boy Hinata hasn't been introduced to chuckled. Every time we go near water or a waterfall she jumps in. One time it took Gaara and hour to get her out.
 
Trust me, it wasn't pretty. Gaara doesn't like water that much.
 
Anyway that is Haku. Hinata looked at him and noticed he too had some animal parts like Naruto and Gaara. Hinata smiled. His cat is called usagi (rabbit) since he loves rabbits.
 
Haku blushed. Tsunade decided to break this up. I think its time you three go to your new homes. Hai hokage-sama. “Please follow me,” Hinata said. Hai. With a bow from everyone, except Naruto who grinned at Tsunade followed Hinata out.
 
They're cloaks were already back on. Usagi on Haku's shoulder, Taki still on Gaara head who would occasionally lick his ears at Gaara's distaste. Sukoshi was being carried out by Hinata.
 
Naruto didn't mind. In fact he didn't mind at all.
 
******
 
Well, this is it. The four of them stared wide eyed at the `mansion.' It was HUGE!
 
I guess I should get lunch started. “Haku says.” Hai. They had gone shopping before coming to the house so they had food.
 
Gaara followed Haku giving Hinata a nod and went inside. Naruto stayed.
There was an awkward silence.
 
So..umm…Hinata-chan how are you doing? I'm fine. I've become a lot more confident. Neji has also been nice.
 
That's good. Naruto smiled. I noticed your stuttering stopped. Hinata blushed. Hai.
 
Another silence. Naruto-kun. There is something I want to tell you. I've wanted to tell you for a long time. …I love you.
 
Naruto stared at her. Thank you Hinata-chan. I don't know why I never noticed before, Maybe I was so dense, but now I know. He looked at her straight in the eye. To Hinata it looked like she was staring at an angel with fox ears. (^_^)
 
I love you too. That was all Naruto needed to say. With that they both embraced each other. Both hugging the other for what seemed like for an eternity before kissing.
 
*****
Gaara and Haku smirked from a window where they were spying on the knew couple.
 
Gaara spoke. “I knew that Hyuuga liked him.” Naruto was just too dense to know.
 
Haku giggled. Gaara-kun it seems you understand love a lot better. Hai, but only a little. Thanks to you and Naruto I understand friendship, love, trust.
 
Hai. Naruto is a great person. “Haku said.” But I think we should give them some privacy. Gaara snorted and turned to look back out the window to see if he could get some blackmail.
 
Haku glared. Grabbing Gaara's ear (just imagine that! Especially with a raccoon ear) Haku dragged him away and told him to feed the cats.
