Chapter 37 - Picnic day Part 3 (1/2)

Arriving back Kai-La was surprised when he was tackled by TenTen and Karin.

”Woah there you two. Thought you were napping? Shouldn't you still be asleep.” Kai asked the two.

”We wanna see them,” TenTen said.

”Yeah show us already,” Karin asked next.

”Huh, show you what?” Kai-La said setting the two down. 'What are they yammering about.' Looking up past the two, he noticed some Inuzuka clansmen had set up their blankets nearby.

Tsume was talking to Pakura. Hisa and Kari were using medical techniques on some of the clansmen. Paying closer attention Kai-La remembered he forgot to go visit them and help patch them up.

”The foxes! Naruto said you found some baby foxes. We wanna see them.” Karin said. She pulled on Kai-La 's pant leg strongly. With a little more force, she would rip the clothing.

”Ok. But you have to be quiet. They are resting and need to recover. The moment you act up I will send them back understand?” Looking at two in expatriation, Kai wondered if it was a good idea.

Both girls nodded there heads adamantly. Around this time Ino woke up as well. Noticing her friends excited faces she walked over to find out what is going on.

”Why are you two so noisy?” Ino asked wiping the sleep from her eyes.

”This is why,” Kai-La said reaching over from pulling the little kits from the pocket dimension. Placing them on the ground he watched as the kids went over to touch them.

”Gently. You may startle them if you brush too hard.” Watching the girls touch the little babies he checked over the three kits again. ”Wait there should be four? Where is the other one?”

”It is atop your head.” Tsume said pointing. ”I Did not know you knew how to care for ninja animals.” Standing up from the tree she was at, she walked over with her own wolfdog.

The wolfdog stood about her height on all fours. With powerful legs, it was ready to pounce at a moments notice. One eye was covered with a patch, while the other never left from staring at Kai-La.

Reaching up to grab the little thing, Kai-La was shocked. ”How the hell did I not see you, or feel your presence? How did you do that?”

”Because I didn't want you to. That simple.” The little kit said.

”Did you just talk..?” Looking at the others Kai-La wondered if they heard it too. ”You all heard that right?”

”No, we didn't. It just yipped to us.” Tsume said shaking her head. ”It might be a trained companion. Or a spiritual beast.”

”I understood some of it,” TenTen said.

”So did I.” Karin seconded.

”I did as well.” Said Ino.

Looking over Kai-La saw each girl had a kit on their l.a.p. The more they petted the animals, the more the animals tail would wag. Activating his eyes he was able to see the animals were feeding off the chakra of the kids. Small amounts nothing too big.

”Hey, your little things stop that,” Kai-La said sternly. This caused the girl to become startled. It served its purpose in making the animals stop feeding off them.

Grabbing each of them Kai-La forced the kits to go to sleep. Next, he changed their furs to gather a little bit of chakra from the surroundings and not the girls. If the foxes tried again it would put them in excruciating pain.

”Definitely spirit beast. You found a lucky batch. None of them are tied to anyone else yet.” Tsume said cl.i.c.k.i.n.g her tongue. ”Tch, wish I could have gotten hold of them. They are worth a fortune.” Looking back at Kai-La she braced herself for the conversation she was about to have next.

”Before you start. Don't. If it is anything related to the mission it can wait till tomorrow. This is not a business picnic. Sit and enjoy yourself. Bad stuff can be discussed later.” Not waiting for an answer, Kai-La sat back down next to Hisa. Looking at the last fox he wanted to ask it some questions but decided to wait for later. ”If you cause any trouble I will put you to sleep just like them.'

” I won't. I will be good. Thank you for not hurting them master.” The little kit said. It climbed out of Kai-Las hand once his grip loosened. Climbing onto his shoulder it wrapped its tail around his neck and went to sleep.

”It's so cute,” Hisa as id. ”Are you going to keep them all.” She asked with a pleading look in her eyes. Behind Kai-La Pakura had her thumbs up at her.

Kai-La just stared at her. ”Yes we will. No point in trying to talk them out of it.” 'That removes any second guessing I may have received for deciding to keep them originally.'

Looking over to Tsume, he watched as she became lost in thought. After a little play time with the foxes, Kai-La sent them away for they could rest.
