"Hi Genji, the fox is doing just fine actually, after I fed him Isaac walked in and found him." Misty said.

Isaac was giggling as he play wrestled with the fox.

Genji smiled, "I'm glad to hear it. Thomas just went to help Kavi."

Isaac laughed as he was talked to the floor by the fox. "Did Kav-Kav bring back people from your trip?"

"Yeah, two people. A young boy and an older man." Genji said looking at Isaac.

"Yeah, he brought back Haku and Zabuza." Misty added smiling.

"Haku? Dad has a clan member named Haku." Isaac thought for a moment.

"Haku's from the Naruto world, he and Zabuza died a long time ago, back when Naruto was a kid on his first real mission protecting someone." Misty said smiling.

Isaac snapped his fingers. "That's it! Dad had met them a while ago. He was travelling around, doing some business in the land of snow before heading to the Leaf Village where he met Naruto."

"Well I'm sure he'll be happy that Kavi's bringing him back." Misty said smiling happily.

"I'm sure he will. Him and papa are travelling around the Naruto world. I think he's trying to track down a few people he met years ago."

"Oh, when will he be back?" Misty asked as she glared at Genji as he ate her cookies.

Isaac just shrugged. "Not sure. He was tracking down this one guy who was really hard to find."

"Who?" Misty asked.

"Dad calls him Kimi," said Isaac.

"OH! KIMIMARO!" Misty said excitedly making Genji almost drop his cookie.

The fox jumped about a foot into the air, then ran and hid under a chair.

Isaac pouted some. "You scared the fox."

"Oh, sorry little guy." Misty said gently.

The fox gave her a look, but stayed put.

Misty pulled out a little treat, "I come in peace."

The fox slowly crawled out and headed towards her, twitching his nose as he sniffed the air.

Misty smiled and held the treat out for the little fox.

The fox took the treat and happily munched on it.

Misty smiled and petted the fox.

The fox leaned into her touch.

Misty smiled, "I promise I won't yell like that again."

The fox gave a happy yip.

Isaac smiled happily.

Misty smiled and hugged the little fox.

The fox yipped happily and licked her cheek.

Misty giggled, "I wonder how Kavi's doing?"

Isaac looked over at Genji. "Hand over the cookies and go see what Kav-Kav is doing."

"Aw, come on!" Genji said with a cookie sticking out of his mouth.

"Genji, don't test me, get your butt up there now!" Misty said sternly but not yelling.

Genji sighed and gave Isaac the cookies and left the kitchen.

Isaac happily stuffed a cookie into his mouth.

Misty giggled, "Now, don't eat too many, I don't want you getting sick."

Genji went up the stairs and knocked on the door to Kavi's lab.

"I won't," said Isaac.

The door open, revealing a tired looking Kavi. "It's done."

"And I missed it?! DANG! Stupid tasty cookies!" Genji said pouting.

"Good, I don't want you to have a tummy ache." Misty said petting the fox.

Isaac smiled and munched on another cookie.

Kavi sighed softly and let his eyes close. He suddenly went limp.

Genji caught Kavi in his arms before he hit the ground, "He wore himself out. Thomas!"

Misty smiled.

Isaac ate one more cookie, then pushed them away. "Done!"

Thomas poked his head out of the lab, then sighed loudly when he saw Kavi. "Stupid necro. Bring him in. He has a small bed against the far wall."

Genji picked Kavi up and carried him to the bed.

"Good boy." Misty said smiling.

Isaac smiled happily back.

Thomas went about cleaning up the salt, the herbs, and the blood, being mindful of Zabuza and Haku resting on the symbol.

Genji laid Kavi gently on the bed, "Do you need help Thomas?"

Joey entered the kitchen carrying an empty teapot and two empty tea cups, "Hello Misty, Isaac."

"Hi Joey." Misty said with a smile.

"No, I got it. Go and find Adrian." He swept up the salt in a dust pan and put it in a trash bin.

Isaac smiled politely at Joey. "Hello, Joey."

Joey put the dishes in the sink, "So, what's going on?"

"Kavi brought Haku and Zabuza back from the Naruto world, Thomas went to heal them, and Genji just went to see how things are coming, the usual." Misty said.

"Ah, that's why Thomas has been gone so long." Joey said thinking.

Genji nodded and went in search of Adrian, I should try his room. he thought to himself as he reached it, he knocked.

Adrian opened the door and blushed slightly when he saw it was Genji. "H-hello, Genji..."

Isaac nodded. "Yep."

"What a cute fox!" Joey said noticing the little fox Misty was holding.

Genji smiled, "Hi Adrian, Thomas told me to find you."

Adrian smiled gently back at Genji. "It was nice of him to send you to me."

The fox gave a yip and wagged his tail when he saw Joey.

Joey smiled and knelt down to pet the fox.

Genji's cheeks flushed, "Yeah, it was. Well I'm not exactly sure what he sent me to find you for." He said thinking.

"I'm not sure either." Adrian stepped away from his door and opened it up wider. "Would you like to come in?"

The fox leaned into his touch.

Joey smiled, "He's really cute, where'd he come from?"

"He followed Genji and Kavi home." Misty said smiling.

Genji's cheeks turned red, "Uh... S-Sure."

Adrian gave Genji a gentle smile, a blush dusting his cheeks.

"They went to Naruto's world to bring back two people," said Isaac.

"They must've been seriously injured before their death, that's why Kavi needed Thomas." Joey said hugging the fox gently smiling.

"Yeah, they were." Misty said.

Genji smiled and walked past Adrian into his room.

Adrian closed the door and walked over to his bed, sitting down on it. "How are you doing?"

Isaac nodded. "Yeah. It was a vicious fight."

The fox happily licked Joey's cheek.

"I'm doing ok, how are you, did you have fun with Misty at the amusement park?" Genji asked sitting in a chair.

"It was fun, but it was crowded." Adrian rubbed at his arms. "The rides were fun until this one girl tried to flirt with me." He hunched his shoulders some. "She wouldn't leave me alone."

"Yeah, girls can get crazy, sorry about that, wish I could've been there to protect you from her, but I had to help Kavi." Genji said.

Joey frowned, "That's not good, I feel bad for them. So is this fox a present for one of them?"

Isaac nodded. "Yep."

"I'm just glad Misty got us out of there quickly. I nearly had a panic attack." Adrian said.

"Misty said she left cause one of the girls that passed had lavender perfume on, she's allergic." Genji said.

"Cool, which one?" Joey asked looking at Isaac.

"Haku," said Isaac with a smile.

"I did smell a girl with lavender on." Adrian leaned back onto his bed.

Genji watched Adrian curiously, "What do you think of lavender?"

"Cool, I hope he'll like it." Joey said smiling.

"I hope so, too." Isaac smiled gently.

"It's okay. Not the best scent out there. I would rather have brown sugar," said Adrian with a smile.

"I like the smell of brown sugar too." Genji said looking at Adrian and the empty space next to him.

Joey smiled, "I'm sure he'll love this adorable fox."

The fox gave a soft yip and wagged his tail.

Isaac giggled softly.

Adrian chuckled and patted the space beside him. "Come sit, Genji."

Genji blushed, "Are you sure?"

Joey smiled, "So cute!"

The fox happily wagged his tail at the attention.

Adrian gave him a gentle smile. "I'm sure."

Joey chuckled.

"O-Ok." Genji said shyly blushing as he walked over and sat next to Adrian.

Adrian smiled shyly at him.

The fox gave a wide yawn and snuggled down into Joey's arms.

Joey smiled, "Poor little thing must be tired."

Genji looked at Adrian, "S-So, what now?"

Adrian just shrugged. "I'm not sure..."

Isaac nodded and yawned as well. "I think it's nap time."

"Come on, I'll take you to your room." Joey said.

Genji blushed and kissed Adrian's cheek.

Isaac held his arms up. "Carry?"

Adrian blushed and shyly kissed Genji's cheek in return.

Genji blushed and took Adrian's hand.

"Ok, you carry the fox and I'll carry you, ok?" Joey said.

Isaac nodded and smiled. "Okay."

Adrian gave him a shy smile.
