AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Last chapter went over well; I'm glad. In this chapter certain individuals have run out of time. Here is chapter 13. Enjoy!

Chambres d'hôtes sur la Courtine de Coucy, Town of Coucy, France

Himeko, Chie and Kurami Hotaru were having a discussion with Naruto, Ildi and Selene about the situation with Ildi's family. "It sounds like your Father Dmitri needs to pay a significant bride price for your Mother." said Hotaru.

Ildi replied, "The problem is Daddy doesn't have 10 million Euros. Mom and Daddy are well off but not multi-millionaires."

"How did your parents meet?" asked Chie.

"Daddy was a Prussian soldier that was horribly wounded and Mom nursed him back to health. They fell in love and when her parents said they didn't approve of Daddy they eloped." explained Ildi. "After that they hid out because Europe was such a mess at the time. Eventually they settled in Austria."

"A real wartime love story." said Chie wistfully. "How romantic."

Selene hugged Ilidi and said, "This will all work out Ildi; just you wait."

Chapter 13

Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, Isamu's Lair

Isamu was stewing. Kinzoku and Tetsu were his two most powerful pawns and now Tetsu was lost to him. He told Kinzoku that Naruto must have killed Tetsu but rather than becoming enraged as Isamu expected the dark gray cybernetic kitsune became stoic and said he had to 'prepare himself.' Isamu wasn't sure what Kinzoku was preparing for but as long as the cyborg obeyed Isamu didn't particularly care. The half faced kitsune hissed and thought, 'This must be due to Kokoro's intervention on Naruto's behalf. How did he convince an Inari Priestess of such stature to help him? No one else has that kind of power.'

While Isamu was grumbling about Kokoro; Kinzoku was keeping his own council. The cyborg thought to himself, 'Naruto-sama must have a powerful Inari Priestess on his side. When I find her I will ask her to send me to be with Tetsu.'

Chambres d'hôtes sur la Courtine de Coucy, Town of Coucy, France

Himeko woke up at dawn in her room she was sharing with Chie at the bed and breakfast and smelled the fresh air of the French countryside. It was fall and the air was fresh and crisp. The early snow hadn't hit France like it had in Hungary. She quickly got up and took care of her morning rituals before going to do her meditations. The priestess went outside in her little white vixen form and saw Naruto in his blonde fox form watching the sun rise in silent reverence. She saw the aura of his massive nine tailed form surrounding his tiny fox form in the sunlight and she gasped. 'He looks so handsome...' thought the Inari Priestess.

Naruto heard her gasp and motioned her to sit by him and watch the sunrise...Himeko blushed slightly under her fur and sat down beside his slightly larger blonde fox form. She leaned into his side timidly and felt how warm and soft his blonde fur was. The pair of kitsunes sat there peacefully and watched the sunrise together in silence.

Lady Kurami was watching from her window and smiled. Her gut reaction was to race down in her black vixen form to snuggle into Naruto-sama's other side but she decided to let Himeko have her time with Naruto instead. 'It seems that Himeko is finally opening up in her own way. She seems so shy. How adorable.'
