The Fox Spirit and The God of Yin

Ch.8 One Heck of a Morning

The sun light seeped through the window curtains, letting in a warm ray of light across Naruto's face. He smiled as he slowly opened his eyes to the light. The bed, pillows, the comforter even were all so soft. It felt like sleeping on a cloud.

He wasn't too surprised if it really was. After all he was living in the heavens.

The blonde boy reluctantly sat up and looked around his big room. One side of his robes slide of his shoulder. He used the other hand to rub his eyes, then stretched all his tiredness out.

'Damn, I wish I could sleep in a bed like that all the time! It sure beats sleeping on trees, even if it has its own perks to it. Oh, wait.....this is my parents house so I guess I can sleep here. Well damn.' He thought with jolly smile.

Sliding out of the bed he noticed a pair of white robes with gold embroidery on the edges laying out on a chair, waiting to be worn. Naruto walked over and picked it up, studying the design and fabric closely.

"Wow, I don't think I would ever be able to afford such expensive clothes." Naruto mumbled. He backed off and contemplated wether or not he should wear something so expensive, but his father probably got it ready for him and he didn't want to hurt his feelings.

Deciding that he should change. He found a door leading to a bathroom. It was also big and luxurious, it was the size of a small bathhouse. Quickly washing up he changed.

'I should do something as a way to bond or whatever children do with there parent. I wonder what?' He pondered walking out of the bathroom and stood in front of the bed with his old robes in hand. He folded them as thought of what he could do.

'Maybe I could cook for him? Yeah, that seems like a good idea. I'm pretty good if I say so myself.' He snickered to himself as he confidently strides to the cupboard. As Naruto gloated to himself he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. 

"Is-Is that me?"

He was shocked that the reflection he saw was actually his.

The blonde boy was never the type that payed attention to his looks before, and he didn't really have a access to a mirror living in a forest. If anything Sakura fixed him up if they went somewhere big, but this is the first time he's seen for himself.

'Is this what Sakura meant by pretty?' He examined his reflection with confused eyes. Naruto reaches out for the mirror only meeting the cold surface and not what's inside. He felt a weird type of joy. No that wasn't it. It was more like nostalgia.

He looked like his mother.

From what he can remember, I might add. He looks a lot like her....and his father too, but he really reminded himself of her. Wonder why today of all days?

He snapped out of his daze remembering another important person in his life. Sakura. 'Oh right! She exists! I kinda forgot about her for a second.' He thought, knowing that if the pinkette found out he was probably done for.

'I hope she's alright though. She should be safe but I need to meet her soon before she causes havoc through the lands. That and I kinda really miss her. Sakura's probably worried too.' He sighed at the thought.

Naruto really owes a lot to her. She helped him so much even she doesn't know. "But now is not the time for that." He said.

"I must make something delicious for father today! She might be lonely cause I'm her only best friend but I have to be strong. Just a day or two and I will see her. Not to worry me! It will be fine!" He told himself. His mood was in all time high.

He waltzed out of his room in high spirits, but that didn't stop him from losing his way and getting totally lost. Wow things are gReAt!

Naruto roamed around the halls, trying to find someone to help him help. When finally he found a servant cleaning a room his face lit up again.
