Keme kept his grip as they travelled along, glad to feel that Relm was relaxing when she leaned on him and he patted her hands a gently. He wondered how everyone would react to him being home, hopefully Moochi wouldn't decide to kick him out, even though he highly doubted it. He waits for Timex to stop, grabbing Azure when she makes an attempt at jumping off and earning a loud mew of protest at being stopped.
The door to Moochi's home opened up, revealing everyones favorite orange clad shinobi. His headband is curiously not on his head, causing his blond hair to fall down around his eyes. He steps out, wondering what all the noise is and why it is there, alot of pets were taking their naps and Moochi was watching a movie with Akira.

Relm almost did not want Timex to stop but she peered around him when she heard Rikku's ear-splitting "Ruto!" Ginny shook her head at the sound, staying on the cycle as it was stopped in front of the house & Rikku hopped off. Surprisingly, she did not run at the shinobi. Instead she frowned at him intently, looking slightly hurt & pained, her hands on her hips.
Timex stopped just beside the cycle & the gray hunter casually walked down the ninau's neck, pausing to nuzzle Azure in the audio male's arms before leaping to the ground. Relm giggled under her breath at her sister's pose, not wanting to be Naruto for the world at that moment & yet not wanting to miss a moment of it.
Well, maybe a few moments. Those that pertained to her. Swinging her leg over she slid down Timex's side for a better view -and to look less incriminating than having her arms wrapped around the hummingbird male.
Although already she found she missed the feeling.
Relm shoved such thoughts away. Too much on your own...

Naruto was at first, more then thrilled to see Rikku, starting to rush at her, "RIKKU!!!" But when she stopped and put her hands on her hips and gave him that look, he stopped himself, his happy expression changing to one of pure confusion. Why wasn't she happy to see him? He sensed trouble and he wondered if he should run into the house and hide.
Azure wiggled her way out of Keme's hold and hopped down off Timex after Perun. But upon spotting Naruto, she mews and bounds toward him, rubbing against his leg happily, not noticing that he isn't greeting her back.
Keme himself slid off Timex's back and he looks between Rikku and Naruto, his eyes wide. He had a pretty good idea why Rikku was so angry, but he wasn't about to say anything. But he too was curious on how this would play out.

A little of Rikku's frustration cools seeing Naruto confused but he hurt she felt was enough to keep her rigid. Relm watched with a mixture of eager curiosity & apprehension. "How come you won't come over to see my Workshop, but Keme could come over & spend the night with Relm when you love me & I love you & they don't & why won't you sleep with me?"
Her hands started to move as she spoke, gesturing almost wildly as her voice fraught with emotion crescendoed with Rikku's feelings. Relm fought her blush when her name came up, it having been about what she feared. The artist could not bring herself to look at Keme directly but glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes. The cat paused in his tracks -possibly following Azure, but that is so hard to discern with cats- while the ninau dipped his head to nuzzle Relm's curls reassuringly. From the back of the cycle Ginny watched with a mixture of fascination & shock, her thoughts flicking as usual to a certain anthro kitsu whom she wished she was closer.
Hands no longer on her hips but hanging loose in fists at her sides the Al Bhed trembled. She wanted her answer. She wanted Naruto to take her in his arms and tell her it would all be all right. She wanted...
Swirling green eyes pleaded beseechingly with the shinobi amid the accusatory stare.

'WHAT?!!!" is all Naruto can yell out when Rikku basically told him off for not sleeping with her. He knew he should stay calm, he knew he should think rationally, he knew he should go to her and explain his reasons, but of course he couldn't. He went straight into panic mode after her yelling and he started running around, his arms flailing as he started yelling things that couldn't be understand.
Azure yelps when her tail gets stepped on when Naruto starts running amuck and she scampers away, hiding under the ninau's legs as she cries and licks at her bruised and hurt tail.
Keme's eyes go wide when Rikku starts talking loudly and his face goes up in a blush, "I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SHE WAS IN THE BED!!!" he yells, but he doesn't run around like Naruto, rubbing at his head, wondering how he got into his mess. So what he fell asleep, he and Relm were friends!

Rikku started to cry softly. Perun dashed after the female cat to console, clean, love on, & otherwise adore. Timex watched from over Relm's shoulder as the artist wrung her hands. Keme might not have known... but she did. Was it really so bad? The blanket had been between them. She kept her gaze averted from Keme's. Had she hurt their friendship with her selfish action? Should she have taken one of the guest rooms?
"What ruddy nonsense..." With an exasperated sigh Ginny pulls out her wand. "Patrificus Totalus!" She cries out, aiming the wand in a general arc at the panicing shinobi. "There.... that aught to hold a minute. Now will everyone please calm down?"

The spell hit its mark and Naruto was stopped in his place, having fallen over due to the momentum. He should have felt embarrassed, but he was still somewhat panicky.
Keme calmed down and shooks his head, looking over at Relm, "I'm sorry it came out like that, I certainly didn't mean to make you share your bed with me, I mean...I don't want you to be uncomfortable with me..." he says, regretting ever having shouted.
Azure gladly took Peruns attention, even though her tail still hurt, but she could move it about. She nuzzled him lovingly, enjoying the bath she was getting.

Ginny breathes out slowly, some of her anger at the foolishness of the situation cooling. In front of her the Al Bhed stops crying long enough to rush to Naruto's side full of concern, then continued her now not quite so silent tears. Perun was meanwhile being very careful with Azure's tail, purring gently for the female's benefit. [Two-leggers can be clumsy, but I don't think he meant it.]
The artist forces herself to meet Keme's eyes. Truth time. "You didn't make me do anything. I chose to not take a guest room." Her gaze darted away for a brief second. She was telling the truth, but only if he specifically ask would Relm tell him why -or at least as much as she herself knew why. "And I'm not uncomfortable with you if you're not with me." There was a trace of earnest wistfulness in the artist's light green eyes.
The witch nodded, satisfied for the moment & released the spell on Naruto with a flick of her wand. For the view it gave her, Ginny decided to stay on the cycle till this little "fun" was all over.

Keme gives Relm a warm smile, wanting to pat her shoulder, but refrains, thinking she really didn't want any physical contact from him, "I'm not uncomfortable with you Relm, far from it actually..." he says. Not wanting to seem too mushy, he turns back to Naruto and Rikku, wanting to see how this would play out.
Azure licks Peruns ear, the pain in her tail going away, "I know, but I should have been more careful." she mews.
Naruto can feel life going back into his limbs and he slowly sits up. But he gets upset when he sees the tears in Rikku's eyes and he immediately wipes them away, wanting to console her, but not sure how.

Though she would never admit it on her own, physical contact from Keme was exactly what the artist wanted right now. It was not something she could understand at all so she was not about to talk about it. She wondered at Keme's words, even as she felt a light happiness akin to floating. Perhaps she would be able to find her voice to ask him about it in a minute. For now, she was also curious about the lovebirds.
Perun curled protectively around Azure. [You were careful. He was not.] Then as if he had thought more about it he added, [But there is nothing wrong with being more careful.]
As Naruto wipes her tears away Rikku flings herself into his arms, crying even more. "I'm sorry... [hic] it's just [hic] it was so nice [hic] when we were camping [hic] and I thought we could [hic] sleep together [hic] more [hic] now we've [hic] found each other."
Rolling her eyes, Ginny blurted out. "Oh, won't you just kiss her already?"

Naruto sent Ginny a withering glare, but kissed Rikku, hoping it would calm her down. He knew this conversation was long in coming, but he wanted to stall it, too embarrassed over his fears...and he certainly didn't want to discuss it in front of the others!!
Azure nuzzled Peruns head lovingly, purring softly, "I know, thank you for cleaning my tail." she mews, licking his nose.
Keme coughed a little and looked elsewhere, not wanting to look at the two blondes kiss. He chuckled a little at that, but he sighed a little, knowing he wouldn't be able to experience that. But he shook his head, not wanting any depressing thoughts.

The kiss did calm Rikku, though her eyes still leaked steadily. She wove her finger's into the ninja's loose blonde hair as she melted against him. She still did not understand what had Naruto so antsy about sleeping together, but how would she if he never told her.
[You're welcome.] Perun grinned playfully butting his head against her.
Relm too looked away from the lovebirds. "I'm glad you're not uncomfortable with me, Keme, but "far from it actually"... what do you mean?" It was the first question that came to her mind, and Relm was not quite sure she liked that she asked it.
The redhead smirked slightly, glancing at Keme & Relm as if disappointed the hummingbird male had not interpreted her words to include him too. She was not sure she had not.
Timex head butted Relm between the shoulders, sending her into Keme. She blinked in surprise up at him. "Nevermind. You can tell me later. I'm sure your family would like to see that you're safe at home."

Keme blushes a bit when Relm asked him what he meant by those words and he gulps, pulling at the collar of his sweater, not quite sure if he really wants to give the answer. He breaths a sigh of relief when it doesn't look like she will press him for an answer right then, but is startled when she is pushed into him. He catchs her by her upper arms, making sure she didn't fall down before letting her go, the blush still on his face. He rubs at his muzzle, trying to get rid of it when he is suddenly tackled by a darkred blur.
Manami had made her way to the front entrance of the house, an irritated look on her face from all the racket that was going on outside, most of it probably coming from Naruto. But upon spotting Keme, she squealed and ran at the hummingbird male, tackling him to the ground, her feathered tail swinging about happily as she hugged him tightly, "Keme, you're finally home!!"
Naruto pulled back from their kiss, looking a little upset at making her cry, but he really didn't want to have that type of discussion with Rikku in front of his family and in front of her own! "We'll talk about it soon, ok?" he whispers. He helps her stand up, but yelps a bit when Manami speeds past him and he finally realizes Keme is there, "KEME!!!" and he rushes toward them
Azure mews cutely, waving her tail about since it didn't hurt anymore now. But she would certainly be more careful about where she put it next time someone was running around like a maniac.

Relm quickly straitened her clothes out, keeping a calm facade & smiling pleasantly at the pretty anthro FTC hugged Keme. Her mind whirled, the one thought that kept surfacing was when would be good time to ask him to clarify what he had meant. The artist had a feeling it would be on her mind like a pestering insect until she knew.
Looking up at Timex, Perun mew'ed questioningly. [Getting clumsy on us, big fellow?] There was an archness to Perun's question & Timex snorted at it, light dancing in his blue eyes as he tilted his great head to look into the cat's. [So it would seem.] He could not say anymore, knowing the artist could understand him. The cat hunter chuckled, dipping his head into Azure's fur. [Once she has finished her greeting we should see if Manami will give us pettings.] He eyed the two-leggers warily. [It's not safe just yet.]
Rikku nods at Naruto, hoping he really will tell her later. Hopefully not too much later. She pouts a bit when he dashes off, but gets up & skips after him. "Of course Keme's here! We brought him with us! Didn't I say he spent the night?"
Putting her wand away Ginny snickered. Just like at home. Only with two homes together everything seemed exponentially more ... explosive. In a fun way, thankfully.

Manami moves off Keme, but pouts at him, "Where have you been, you've haven't been home in....in....weeks!!" she says, but moves aside when an orange blur zips by.
Keme sits up after hugging Manami back, but looks away guiltly when she asks him where he had been. He was about to answer when he was tackled back down again by the short male.
Naruto tackled Keme to the ground and hugged him. But then pulled back and slugged him in the face, yelling and crying, "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN, YOU'VE HAD US ALL WORRIED SICK SINCE YOU NEVER COME HOME!!!" and with that he hugs him again.
Keme rubbed his sore jaw, not expecting the punch and he knows that it will swell up soon since sometimes Naruto didn't know his own strength. But he quickly hugs the shinobi back, knowing how sensitive Naruto can be at times.
Azure peers up at Timex shyly, trying to hide herself behind her tail. Now that she saw just how big he was, she suddenly got a little scared, afraid he would step on her.
