Chapter 4

A/N: Here's the forth chapter. It's up sooner then I thought. Since there nothing for me to say I'll just get right to the story.

"Kyuubi talking"

'Kyuubi thinking'

'Naruto thinking'

"Naruto talking to Kyuubi"


Instantly Wolf and Phoenix went to help hold, the now very pissed off Earth down. The three of them were finally able to do this by tying him down.

Seeing that it was now safer Naruto walked over. "So…who's this?" he asked gesturing toward Earth's original capture.

Phoenix turned to him and said, "This is my other brother Galaxy."

Naruto blinked 'They don't look related. And how much must their parents hate them to give them names like that.'

The blond just nodded not wanting to voice his thoughts out loud.

"So, you going to explain this to us or are we to be left in the dark?" Wolf asked Galaxy who had just finished gagging Earth so his angry curses were muffled.

"Well," the raven started, "I was heading over to talk with our dear little brother," he paused to pat said brothers head which earned him a growl, "when one of the nurses came out of the supply room with a cart of antidotes. But as soon as she saw us she cursed, flipped the cart over, and ran off."

He waited for this to sink in before he continued, "I think she may have had the poison they cure in her pockets."

"Damn how stupid could she be? I mean Earth makes those poisons and keeps at least three of any and every thing he makes; you think she would know this."

Earth, having calmed down, seemed to have remembered this to since he stopped struggling and cussing. Wolf was the first to notice and so, with a pull of the rope, released him.

"We need to go home. Some of the copies are hidden there."

Naruto looked over at Kyuubi "So what do we do?"

"We go with them, you don't know anyone else in the village and I don't want you getting into unneeded trouble."

The six left the hospital leaving behind a crowd of shaken people and, and headed to their destination though the back alleys. Naruto didn't ask why and frankly the thought of asking them scared him.

When they did get to the Kyuubi's friends house the ninja was in for a shock. It was an old hotel with a large clearing behind used for training.

"I see you guys are still living here." Kyuubi observed. The other four adults just laughed and walked to the door.

Once they were all inside Naruto noticed something a little odd. Hanging upside down from a ceiling fan was a pale blond, red-eyed man. He was gagged and his arms were pinned to his sides.

Hearing the door close he tilted his head back and, when he caught sight of Wolf, glared. From behind the gag came a few curses that had Naruto wondering if they were just as bad as Earth's.

Kyuubi broke down in hysterics from his place behind Naruto.

"Would you let him down Wolf, I think all the bloods gone to his head," Galaxy politely stated.

Wolf gave a salute and sauntered over to a stand of rope tied to the railing of the stairs. With a quick yank the rope slackened and fell free.

In an instant the blond dropped onto the couch with a wham. After catching his breath the older blond tore off the gag and, vaulting over the back of the couch, shot off toward Wolf.

But the taller was one step ahead. By the time his attacker reached the spot he was standing, he was already though a door that must have lead to the kitchen.

The blond gave chase yelling "Get back here you son of a bitch so I can gut you and hand you by your intestines!"

A shout of "never" was heard right before a "Thud!" all of which was followed by silence.

Naruto, having watched the two run off, turned back to the others in the room just to see that they had sat down. "Shouldn't you stop them?"

Galaxy looked up at him before he said "We don't need to. They'll work it out. Something like this happens at least once a week. You get used to Stubborn's death threats."

Naruto assumed that Stubborn was the other blond 'Man what is up with their names?' he snapped himself out of his thoughts and sat on the couch next to Kyuubi.

Wolf chose this time to walk in and collapse into a chair. Earth looked over at him "Where's Stubborn?"

"I locked him in the closet"

Phoenix, Galaxy, and Kyuubi laughed while Earth smiled and Naruto snorted. They heard the sound of running feet and turned to look at the door when it was thrown open at Stubborn stomped in.

He took one look at the group and growled "Not one closet joke."

Earth shot him a sly look before commenting "Whatever you say. But I must ask…is it nice to finally come out of the closet."

That was all it took for everyone else to burst out into laughter again. Stubborn let out one more growl and stomped upstairs.
