AN: Don't care, so don't bother asking about other stories. In all likelihood, this story will never get updated and if it does, it won't be for awhile, unless I'm in a writing mood and am at my computer. Basically, don't get your hopes up. Oh well, I doubt too many of you will be reading this.

Anyway, this is a Naruto/pokegirl thing. I'm rating it M, mostly to be safe. I don't expect to be writing any lemons, so don't expect any. I may imply that said lemons happened I may not. Swearing is included, death will probably be there as well. Violence, gotta love it.

Uzumaki Naruto is a woman who has many friends, power, and beauty without all the bad personality traits that often come from that particular combination of life aspects. She is a woman who values honesty, hard work, and her friends (or as she refers to them, family) above all else. From that, she might be considered the perfect woman. In truth, she's loud, anger prone, and a bit on the dense side at times, though she doesn't lack passion.

Indeed, she is a very fortunate woman, except for one itty bitty fact; sealed inside Naruto's stomach is a great and powerful demon. A demon that, for no apparent reason other than the senseless need to destroy, attacked Naruto's home village, Konoha, and would have obliterated it given the chance. However, the demon was stopped with the before mentioned method by the woman's father, the Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato, but in doing so sacrificed his life. Hence, Naruto grew up without parents, for her mother also died, loveless and alone.

It wasn't until she graduated the ninja academy that she made her first friends; Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke. And it only got better for her after that, gaining only more friends. And even when Uchiha Sasuke, her best friend and pseudo brother, defected, she still found time to be happy. Her only real problem with that being that she still hadn't returned Sasuke to Konoha.

But that was life, and she accepted its difficulties with a smile and a shout, then later, with a wave goodbye.

"Oiiiii! Fox!" Naruto yelled with a bright smile as she skipped through the sewer in her mind. As was said before, she was a beauty. Her shiny blond hair, with the faintest of natural red highlights, was kept short and spiked forward, but by no means did she appear masculine. Her facial structure was too feminine for that, with a stubborn jaw and a round face. Eyes of a blue-green, a mix between her mother's green and father's blue, were lined by thick, naturally long lashes and she had small, full lips that, when not stretched into a wide, happy smile, were slightly pouty in appearance. But, since a grin split her face a majority of the time, that fact was of little concern.

And, for all that, she had a terrible fashion sense. Example, at the moment she was wearing a green tank top under a neon orange jacket, an orange so unfathomably bright that it practically glowed even in daylight, and wore pants that were dark blue and ended just above her ankles. Of course, she wore the common footwear, black ninja sandals, along with all her ninja gear.

Naruto halted suddenly and sunk into the water covering the floor of the entire sewer system. "Dang it!" And after all that care she'd taken to walk on the water.

A dark laughter burst forth at the teenager's exclamation. There was a creature behind the bars of the cage Naruto had stopped at, and it was large, with glowing eyes the size of a man and a grinning maul of glistening, sharp teeth yellowed with age and rank with the decay of flesh.

"I welcome you, human, once more to my domain," the creature's voice was deep; it reverberated off the walls and in Naruto's chest and its horrid breath washed over the blonde. The voice carried with it the subtlest traces of insanity.

"Kyuubi, I need all your chakra," Naruto proclaimed obnoxiously and she fully expected her demand to be met.

"All of it," the demon sneered hatefully, its rage lighting the darkness with red, revealing a creature resembling a fox save for its immeasurably large size and too long ears. "Could you handle it, I wonder." Kyuubi's hackles were raised and its glowing red eyes glared balefully at the human demanding all from it.

Naruto puffed out her chest confidently and grinned cheekily, "Of course I can!"

"And why," the creature continued to sneer, "Should I give my chakra to you? An insignificant meatbag?" Its claws raked against the unyielding ground, creating a high-pitched screeching noise that burned in the human's ears.

Naruto lowered her hands and glared determinedly up at the evil, vile demon, "Cause I need it to bring Sasuke back and because you owe me!"

"Because I owe you?" Kyuubi scoffed, eyes glowing fiercely with hatred. "But," the demon paused, shifting to think. "Your friends are important to you, aren't they?" The demons eyes returned to the blond and they gazed upon her with a new intensity.

The girl nodded solemnly, "Of course, they're my family. I'd be lost without them."

"Lost," the fox muttered, then grinned bitterly. "Fine, have all my chakra."

Naruto grinned up at the creature with happy, shining eyes, "Heh, I knew you weren't all bad, hairball!" Kyuubi cackled harshly at that and Naruto was bombarded with the red chakra and all she knew was pain. The fox stood on its hind legs, paws on the bars, and watched as the blond teen writhed in absolute pain before being ejected from her own mind.

"Be lost, then, meatbag, be lost." And the demon's cackling began and did not stop.

It was a plan that could not fail, would not fail. That's what they told themselves when Naruto had told them she was going to draw on all of the Kyuubi's chakra. "I'm already used to the hairball's power anyway, so using all of it won't make a difference, right? And besides, with all nine-tails there's no way Sasuke will be able to stop me from dragging his ass back!" She had proclaimed and had left nothing more to argument.

Jiraiya was there, so was Tsunade, and a few ANBU for control. The rest of Konoha's forces were on standby, just in case this got out of hand. They didn't expect it to because Jiraiya had seals ready to stop the plan if anything, anything at all, went or looked like it was going bad.

And so, Naruto went to confront Kyuubi in her mind. Half the battle was getting the fox to accept, the other half was learning to control the chakra and herself. None could decide which was going to be harder.

The wait felt like eternity, though it was only a few moments. Doubt plagued them, though, and sudden regret didn't help. But, most of all, an instinctive feeling of wrongness twisted their gut and urged them to stop the process now before it could even begin to get out of hand.

"Tsunade, I don't—"

And then, their favorite blond collapsed, a terrible unending scream ripping from her throat. Her body writhed in obvious pain and the demon's red chakra boiled across her skin. On instinct, Tsunade and Jiraiya jumped in to help only to be caught by the expanding red aura and thrown away.

The red aura grew and grew, faster than it should have. The chakra tails giving knowledge of the power being released swirled at nine before the two sannin even had time to charge back for their Naruto. The blonde's screaming had stopped, replaced by hoarse, gasping noises and a silent scream from a face twisted in horror and unfathomable pain.

Then, the vile red chakra collapsed inward into Naruto and uncontrollable tremors seized the blonde's glowing body. Tsunade rushed to the blond, the girl's name on her lips, but it was too late. Kyuubi's chakra exploded from Naruto's body decimating everything in its path, blowing the human's away, and hiding the blonde's prone form from view.

When the red chakra was no more save for the traces left in the air, a crater whose sides were smooth and melted was left. There was no body, not even ashes, and the horrifying conclusion that Naruto was dead, wiped from the face of the Earth, was made, accepted with tears and denial.
