I know I should update my other stories; I have all the chapters written out, honestly. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't lazy and would post up all the typed chapters in a day.

Disclaimer: As much as we all wish, Naruto will never be ours.

Warnings: Shounen Ai, super cute boy love. Slash or whatever people call it these days…

"Alright everyone, onto the bus now!" hollered Mr. Clay, the local 10th grade history teacher.

The other history teachers that taught the other grades decided to help him out a bit and ushered the remaining students into the bus.

Now, on the road in front of a local high school in a place called New York, USA, Planet Earth, there stood a "luxurious" bus, and in the bus all the way to the right of the 6th isle, you can find 2 boys. Naruto and Kyubbi.

After the teachers checked that there were no remaining students, they gave the driver the signal and off they went.

As soon as they vehicle started moving, Mr. Clay tapped the microphone sharply. "Now I don't want you guys disturbing this place, it's practically a natural museum! No defacement of property, littering, or bothering the residents!" His voice rang out shrilly, and everyone heard the 'or else' that would've been added, but it was probably against his teaching contract. Yup, no threatening students, or you get the boot.

The homeroom of class A3 had been picked to go on a week long overnight trip. Where? Naruto didn't care. How? Bus of course. There cheap ass school couldn't afford to send them by plane. Why? Get them the hell after school. Naruto swore sometimes that the janitor called them "demon spawns from hell."

Naruto sighed and leaned this forehead against the cold window, trying to think of a good memory. His eyes lighted up as he recalled they're trip to the jello factory. He and Kyubbi had been dared to an eating contest. Needless to say, Kyubbi and he had won, although he and the competitor had to visit the nurse. Why Kyubbi didn't have to go never did cross his mind…

Kyubbi tapped him on the shoulder as if knowing what he was thinking, grinning all the time while trying to blow a piece of red hair off his face. His stare seemed to say 'What are you? 3?' A challenge had been issued, and they both knew it except the world.

Naruto grinned back, and tapped onto the window lightly, 'sure, I'm 15 going on 3.'

They had both learned morse code all the way back to forth grade, knowing no one would think they would be smart enough to try to learn it.

They looked at each other for a bit, and then lunged at each other, hands out stretched. "THUMB WAR!!" they screamed, excitement lacing their tones. Mr. Clay and the ninth grade history teacher, Ms. Wilkins, looked at them, partly annoyed and partly affectionate, while the other teachers just looked on, slack jawed. The other students just ignored them, they were use to it already.

After 45 minutes, the driver announced that they were here. The other students rushed outside immediate, while Kyubbi and Naruto took their sweet time. They separated their hands, and said at the same time, "I win!"

They glared for a bit, but went outside. Once outside, they started bickering and if you were close enough you heard bits that sounded like "You cheated!" "No, I held your thumb down for longer than 5! 10 even!" "What about that cool aid contest? Huh? Huh?! Speechless I see!"

But after a while, you could see them doing that half hug, half hand shake thing that guys do, signaling "Yeah, we're cool. Now come check us out as we go skydiving!"

As Kyubbi and Naruto got their luggage, they didn't see Mr. Clay gesture for everyone to follow him. Where they turned around though, they realized what had happened.

Kyubbi twitched a bit, and Naruto laughed, "That's a really bad habit, ya know?" Kyubbi just 'pffted' and retorted, "you would know, wouldn't you oh expensive ramen vacuum cleaner…" Naruto pouted, knowing this was probably true. Kyubbi usually paid for him after he ate at the ramen restaurant.

Kyubbi sighed and said, "C'mon, lets see if we can catch up to them…" Naruto nodded happily and ran off, completely missing the dark look that Kyubbi sent around the place. It was dark now…and he could hear the whispers as he ran after Naruto before his eyes widened. The path Naruto was taking…

"Naruto!!"

'Back after so long..?'

"Can you hear me?!!"

'Look at the poor fool…Back in rags it seems...'

"Naruto!!!"

Kyubbi's knees gave away as he slumped onto the leaf covered ground. A lightly tanned hand gently touched his shoulder. He looked up and instantly hugged the body close to him.

"Ah, hey! I was wondering where you went you know…" Here, Naruto patted Kyubbi's back awkwardly. Kyubbi held him at arm length and examined him for any cuts. He sighed in relief, thinking 'he didn't go down the path too far…'

"Kyubbi? Hey, are you ok man?" Noting the concerned blue eyes, he nodded warily. "Lets go, I know a short cut back…" He grabbed Naruto's hand, not even waiting for his answer.

Naruto chose not to say anything, worried at how odd his friend was acting. As they stepped into a grove of trees, something shot out of the darkness and grabbed Kyubbi's leg tightly. Kyubbi lurched forward, but his fast reflexes allowed him to let go of Naruto's hand quickly so that he wouldn't fall too.

Naruto panicked, gazing into the black nothingness of where Kyubbi had fallen into. He got onto his knees and chewed on his lower lip. What should he do? "Kyubbi?!!" Nothing answered him, as he had expected. He got up; ready to run for help, when something stopped him. Kyubbi's voice. "Naruto, go south until you reach the traditional bathhouse. Get help there!"

Naruto almost fell; he was so happy that Kyubbi was alright that he didn't even think about why Kyubbi knew this. As Naruto scampered away, something was going on in the pit.

Inside, there stood a huge, fully grown red fox, hissing at an overgrown, wrinkly purple snake. The fox unsheathed his claws, growling "You shouldn't have done that…"

The snake said in the same voice as the fox, "you shouldn't have done that," mockingly. Mocking him. Mocking Naruto. Mocking his whole entire line of descendents.

The fox let out a battle cry as he launched himself at the snake, grinning victoriously as he slashed the snake's body into shreds, the thick green blood coating his fur. After he was sure the snake was dead, he leaped into the pool that wasn't far from the carcass.

As he emerged, he was no longer a fox, but a naked boy. As he gazed up at the full moon, he uttered one word, "Shit."

Surprisingly I actually wanted to write more, but I'm afraid I'm going to get some serious finger cramps. Thanks for reading I suppose…
