Chapter 5 - Part 4

*in the garden*

"Good morning," said Naruto, his hair pulled back with a headband, the concealer freshly applied on his face. You could see his deep blue pools staring at you with the hair out of his face.

"Naruto, good morning. I still don't see why you don't wear your hair back; you would look much more stunning," Ranmaru stated.

"I don't enjoy attention like you guys or even stalkers,"

"Oh, Ranmaru, don't bug him about it," said Takenage.

"Fine, but if you ever decide to become your true beauty, let me know,"

"Thanks, I will,"

Yuki jumped off one of the garden's pillars with an excited scream.

"Yeah, you guys," said Kyohei, jumping off the bush of roses.

"Hey, keep it down, Kyohei,"

"What's up,"

"What's up? What's up with you? Why are you acting so calm when today's the day? It is the day that girls are supposed to come, isn't it,"

"Oh yea," "Hmmm" "Was that today."

"It was," said Naruto pouring himself a cup of tea.

*Flashback*

"Now then, there's a little thing I need to ask of you, gentlemen,"

"Gentleman, why so formal,"

"Because I decided to have my niece move into this mansion,"

"A girl, huh Lucky us,"

"And then I'll be expecting you, gentlemen, to train her to be a lady of the respectable kind,"

"Ah, this is bull pocky. Why should we train you, niece,"

Naruto came up behind him and hit him on the back of his head. He was holding a metal tray with an assorted amount of cookies.

"Here you are, Landlady, made fresh this morning,"

"Thank you, Naruto," she takes a bite and savours it "It is delicious. You out due yourself as always."

"Thank you for your kind words, Landlady," said Naruto with a smile.

"So if you guys train my niece Sunako into a lady, there will be a reward. All your living expenses here will be free,"

"Free," all of them chimed in

"For real,"

"Please don't say you're not yanking our..,"

"Hold that thought. If you fail, your rent will triple expect Naruto, of course, as he gets me his rent on time, so what do you say,"

A bunch of babbling could be heard between the four of them.

"We accept your challenge,"

"I'm so relieved," she said by the open window.

"Ah, wait, Landlady,"

"Oh, Naruto, what would you like,"

"Here is a box of snacks to go and a bento box for when you want it,"

"Thank you, Naruto. You wonderful now I can take off. Make sure to take care of my Sunako,"

"Take off,"

"Can we get a bit more clarification on that,"

"Ah, sweet adventure women can't live in a place without love,"

"It wasn't an answer,"

"I'm off around the world on a quest for the one love great enough to feel this heaving blossom,"

"Have a nice trip, Landlady. See you soon. Please call so that I can make the snack ahead of time,"

"Thank you, Naruto. You boys, make sure you take care of the rest. Adios amigos wohaoo,"

*back to the present*

"She's something else,"

"Yeah, and you know what that something is,"

"Ah, don't worry, it's covered I. 've you forgotten we have the great Ranmaru on our side,"

"Exactly that sweet flower of womanhood once we've welcomed her to our modestly endowed abode in the proper fashion, what could go a miss,"

"I don't know how about food damn it,"

"I still don't know why you can't make it for us, Naruto,"

"Those who do not work do not eat," said Naruto.

"Um, food,"

"What if this Sunako girl can't even cook, in case you morons haven't noticed when you haven't had anything edible to eat since Auntie left,"

"So that's why you have been so bad-tempered and pathetic,"

"It is not pathetic food is the bases for all human life,"

"Sure, sure,"

"Stop condescending to me. I'll sue your ass,"

"Those again,"

"No kidding,"

"I think I'm going to gather a few roses before our princess arrives,"

"Ran, she is already here. The moving truck left before you guys woke up," said Naruto sipping on his tea softly.

"Oh, not possible,"

'Fine, don't listen to my warning,'

"Yuki wants to gather flowers with me,"

"Sure, huh, wait for something in there,"

"It's probably just a cat or something,"

"That's true here pussy pussy meow meow Ah,"

"What's wrong,"

"Hey, Yuki,"

Yuki falls over in shock.

"Oh, enough already,"

Sunako looks like a ghost you would find in a haunted house.

"Ah," screamed the four boys.

Naruto took off his headband that kept his hair out of his eyes. Seeing how she looked, he thought it would be polite to look less harmful—appearing in front of the four boys; he placed a hand stretched out to welcome her.

"Welcome, Miss Sunako. Your stuff has arrived,"

"Wait, that's Sunako," said the four in the sink.
