Hello everyone I know I wasn't going to post any new stories for the rest of the month and this was supposed to be posted in December but I didn't have a second chapter for any of the stories I have going right now so I just decided to post it today. I will post a second chapter for one of my stories for sure tomorrow as long as I can get out of the rut I am in for most of them.
Hope you enjoy..
In the village of Konoha up in the mountains there has been a shrine for over a thousand years. It is said that a nine-tail fox has lived there for centuries. It is finally being opened to be viewed in the last eighteen years.
The shrine is black and white made of brick and wood. It looks like it has five levels from the outside but in reality it has six levels. On the inside it is made of complete wood. Staircases were everywhere and wooden pillars holding the building up. The windows on the top of the building were never put in they feared that the fox would get angry and slaughter the village so they left it alone.
It has been eighteen years and they finally decided they were going to open the shrine up to the people.
The last year high school students are heading to the shrine as a history project slash field trip but of course with the type of teacher these kids have it's always an assignment anywhere they go.
"Sasuke, what do you think of this place?" a bubbly pink-haired teen named Sakura asked.
The raven-haired teen didn't really care the only reason he came was because it was better than being in the class and he secretly had a thing for history but that's one thing he would never admit to anyone. His name is Sasuke Uchiha the youngest son of the most famous family in Konoha. He has dark black blue hair, black eyes that turns red at times, pale skin that people said looked like the moon, a lithe body frame and he was at least five foot seven.
Sasuke didn't really care about what Sakura had to say.
"Shut up Sakura your bothering Sasuke." A fiery red-head teen named Karin came and said.
"Shut up four-eyes," Sakura said ignoring the glare she got from Karin.
"Sasuke, you still got those girls chasing after you." Sasuke's best friend Suigetsu said as he walked up to him.
Sasuke was a teenager that didn't talk to many people because a lot of them were extremely self-centered and selfish. All they cared about was their looks and money. Suigetsu has been friends with Sasuke since they were eight-years-old the first time Suigetsu came to this village.
"I don't care," Sasuke said.
"Can you believe it's been ten years since I came to this village? I remember when we were ten and tried to sneak up here and your brother dragged us both down by are ears." Suigetsu said.
"Yeah I remember; you were an annoying pest then like you are now." Sasuke said chuckling. "Oh I remember that night. Are you still scared about the fox that you supposedly saw?" Sasuke said chuckling.
"Shut up Sasuke I did see it even if you don't believe me. It was a huge a red and gold fox." Suigetsu said.
"Hn," Sasuke grunted and walked to the front of the class.
As they got closer to the shrine Sasuke started to feel like he was being watched and no matter where he moved it felt like those eyes just kept following him.
"Suigetsu, I feel like someone is watching me." Sasuke said a bit freaked out but he kept his composure to not alarm his friend.
"It might be the fox." Suigetsu said chuckling at his friend's worry.
"Yeah, yeah very funny." Sasuke said sarcastically.
"Welcome class, as of now only two people live on this land and the great nine tail fox." The tour guide said. "As you know certain clans inhabit this land with the fox." The guide said.
Sasuke was feeling really paranoid because he still felt like he was being watched.
"Hello madam," a young woman from the shrine came out.
"These are the students I was telling you would be coming here today." The tour guide said to the woman.
"Hello everyone, my name is Temari the shrine maiden. I will be giving you a tour from here on. Stay close and stay on the path I lead you threw." Shion the strange woman said.
She started to lead the class to certain areas of the shrine. As she did that Sasuke kept getting this undeniable feeling he was being watched. Sasuke was so paranoid that he stopped listening to the tour guide completely.
"Can you hear me?" the fox said.
Sasuke turned his head and saw a tail down the hallway so he followed it. When he got to the end of the hall he saw the most beautiful being he ever laid his eyes on. There laid the nine tail fox that he always heard about. It was red with gold tailed tips like they were dipped in gold, his paws were gold, his ears, and around his eyes. But what really caught Sasuke was the fox's eyes were a beautiful sky blue. Whenever the people in the village talked about the fox they always talked about how the fox had blood shot red eyes.
"Hi kit," the fox said.
Sasuke didn't know what to do. Should he talk to the boy but before he could do anything he found himself walking toward the fox and the fox was purring with approval that the boy was approaching him willingly.
"Uchiha boy? Are you going to keep staring at me or are you going to say hi back? Little bastard," Naruto the beautiful fox said.
"You know I am an Uchiha?" Sasuke asked shocked the fox knew who he was.
Naruto chuckled, "of course I know who you are young one. You and your friend tried to sneak on my land eight years ago." Naruto said.
"How can I hear you?" Sasuke asked.
"What's your name?" Naruto asked.
"Sasuke," Sasuke answered.
"You can hear me because I let you hear me." Naruto answered not really telling the whole truth but getting up.
Sasuke backed up noticing how big the fox actually was. The fox chuckled at Sasuke for backing away but quickly pulled him back using one of his tails.
"Hey, What The Hell Are You Doing?" Sasuke said completely frightened.
"Calm down Kit, you have nothing to be afraid of. I would never hurt someone like you. You know your unique, right?" Naruto said as he set Sasuke sit next to him.
"Why do you say that?" Sasuke asked.
"A lot of people can't hear me even if I try to talk to them." Naruto said.
"But how does that make me special out of my family?" Sasuke asked.
"Because Kit your family is one of the families that usually take care of the shrine with the Nara clan. And seeing as your brother couldn't hear me I didn't think you could either but now I'm glad you could." Naruto said purring and rubbing his tail against Sasuke.
"I never heard about this." Sasuke said petting the tail that landed on his lap.
"That's because I cut all ties the day you were born." Naruto said.
"Why?" Sasuke asked.
"Next time Kit, you got to get going now before my maiden or protector comes. And your class is coming back downstairs." Naruto said.
"I can come back?" Sasuke asked hopeful.
Naruto just rubbed his tail on Sasuke and pushed him toward the door. Sasuke walked out the room just in time to make it out the shrine with his class.
"Oh yeah Kit don't tell anyone that you saw me or that I speak to you." Naruto said.
"Why not?" Sasuke said loud enough for others to hear.
"Why not what Sasuke?" Sakura asked.
"Nothing," Sasuke said and walked away.
"Because it's a symbol Kit," Naruto said.
"Fine," Sasuke said out loud.
Suigetsu started to look at his friend funny because he didn't know what was wrong with him but he just realized that Sasuke was nowhere to be found when they were going through the whole shrine.
"Sasuke, where were you when we were in the shrine?" Suigetsu asked.
"I went looking for a bathroom and then got lost so I just stayed in the front where we entered." Sasuke said lying immediately.
"Good one Kit," Naruto said following Sasuke down the mountain.
"It's not like you to miss out on a history experience though." Suigetsu whispered because he knew Sasuke's fans would love to know that information about him.
"I looked around on the downstairs floor. I didn't want to go any farther then that just in case I went somewhere I wasn't supposed to be in." Sasuke said ignoring Naruto.
"Oh come on Kit, don't ignore me." Naruto said.
Sasuke growled.
"What a cute little growl," Naruto said sounding like he was right next to Sasuke.
Sasuke stopped and looked around to see Naruto inside the woods area in a smaller fox form then he was in the building.
"I would get going if I was you. You don't want your bus to leave you." Naruto said
Sasuke noticed that everyone was so far ahead of him so he shot down the path as quickly as possible. He almost slipped down the stairs but got caught by tails several times.
"See you soon Sasuke," Naruto said.
The minute the words were said Sasuke could feel that he was by himself again. Sasuke got on the bus and sat by a window so he could see if he could see the fox one more time before he left. He did see the fox but he also saw a guy around his age. He couldn't see the guy's face but it seemed he was scolding the fox for some reason and he had a feeling it was because of himself. Sasuke made eye contact with the fox one last time before the bus moved out of sight and Sasuke couldn't help but feel excited about seeing the fox again.
"Naruto, why the hell did you let that guy see your true form?" Shikamaru the protector of the shrine asked.
Shikamaru has been with Naruto the fox since Shikamaru was ten years old. They became really close friends throughout the years and Naruto took comfort in him being around. Naruto just looked at his protector that he has trained since he was ten.
"Shika calm down you don't want to get wrinkles in your forehead. He heard my voice so I wanted to talk to him." Naruto said.
"How is that even possible? You already have your maiden and protector." Shikamaru said shocked because it doesn't happen ever.
"Shika be chill. I don't care why. I just want to get to know the little Kit." Naruto said picking Shikamaru up with his tail and putting him on his back.
"You can't be thinking about what I think you are." Shikamaru said with a sigh holding onto the fox as they ran back up the mountain.
"You know I am. At least he never saw my human form. Come on Shika don't be like that it might be fun." Naruto said feeling his protector's rejection of the idea. "Well seeing as you have to go everywhere with me that means you have to do this with me." Naruto said not giving Shikamaru a chance.
"Yes I guess you got me there." Shikamaru said lying on the fox's back sighing.
Shikamaru loved Naruto's fur. When he was younger Naruto used to let him sleep in his fur. He was here with a maiden that was two years older than him and he was with Naruto. It was said that the maiden and protector have to get married it is legal agreement. If you disagree with it, you're going against the fox's direct order. Shikamaru asked why he had to get married to the maiden once when he was kid and Naruto told him it was so he could sire an heir and be happy instead of lonely like he was. That was when Shikamaru got the first understanding that the fox was lonely.
"Shika, what do you say?" Naruto asked.
"Forever and always my friend." Shikamaru said.
This was their routine and Shikamaru couldn't help but smile every time it happened between them. Shikamaru has grown to love everything about Naruto aside from his infatuation with ramen.
Naruto had a plan he knew would work because no one has seen his human form in over three thousand years.
"So starting tomorrow we will be in the land of the humans." Shikamaru said.
Naruto chuckled and jumped into the shrine on the top floor and Shikamaru went to go and talk to Temari about them starting school tomorrow. Temari didn't understand what was so special that made the fox want to leave the shrine but she learned not to question them.
(Next Day)
Sasuke got a ride from his brother to school that day but he could feel the shift in the air to the point where he could sense his brother's nervousness.
"Itachi? Is something the matter with you?" Sasuke questioned.
"I can't explain it but I feel uneasy for some reason." Itachi said as he parked his car so his brother could get out.
"Later," Sasuke said still confused by his brother only to get rushed by his friend and his fans.
"Sasuke, you're not going to guess what I heard when I got here." Suigetsu said running up to Sasuke.
"There are two new students in are class." Sakura said.
"And they are two good looking guys." Ino the long-haired blonde said.
"Who cares what they look like they're not better looking than Sasuke." Sakura said trying to charm Sasuke.
He didn't care he just walked away to come into class to face two new students talking to Iruka-sensei. The bell rang but not once did Sasuke see the new boys faces.
"Welcome everyone sits down. We have two new students today go ahead and introduce yourselves." Iruka-sensei said.
"My name is Shikamaru Nara. I'm lazy so I would rather not talk to many people." Shikamaru the dark-haired boy said.
Sasuke made eye contact with the blonde boy that was two inches taller than him, tan skin, three whisker marks on both of his cheeks, with a muscular looking body, and beautiful blue eyes that reminded him of the fox from the day before. But what was unnerving him the most was the smirk on the blondes face that showed his beautiful white teeth.
"Hello everyone my name is Naruto Uzumaki it's nice meeting you all today." Naruto said.
The voice was like music to Sasuke's ears and he could hear the melody in his head echoing. Sasuke was completely shocked but he knew he needed to stop staring at the boy.
"Hello Sasuke," Naruto said smiling.

This story is going to interesting to write for me because he doesn't know why he can hear the fox when no one else can.
