One Safe Place
Hi! My first oneshot!
Kyuubi is a bit OOC…Ok very OOC. Younger Naruto.

The great Kyuubi no Kitsune sat in his cell, all nine tails twitching anxiously behind him. His burning glare was fixed on the dark tunnel leading to the dreary darkness of his kit's
sub consciousness.
Kyuubi's eye twitched. 'My kit?' he thought. 'Could I be going soft? Shukaku would get a kick out of this. Me of all bijuus, worried about a little boy.'
Kyuubi sighed miserably. The villagers had been exceptionally brutal today. How could they hurt an innocent five year old? It was quite beyond him.
At the moment, the boy was unconscious, meaning that he would arrive soon. Kyuubi had been waiting for an opportunity like this to finally meet his kit.
At last, the choked sound of crying echoed down the tunnel and Naruto's blonde halo of hair burned into view. The child came to a stop and looked up into the eyes of the nine tailed demon fox.
Kyuubi whined. Naruto was in a piteous condition, bruised and bleeding. The only part of him that remained intact were his brilliant cerulean eyes. The boy whimpered and stepped back in fear. "W-who are you?" he asked pathetically.
Kyuubi realized that he must be intimidating the kit so he closed his eyes and transformed into an orange haired teenage boy with blood red eyes, decked in a black suit. His nine miniaturized tails swished anxiously behind his back.
"I'm Kyuubi." He said, stepping forward and clutching the bars. Naruto was amazed at the transformation and now looked at Kyuubi in wonder. Kyuubi so wished that he could melt out of his prison and embrace this boy.
"And you're Naruto I'm sure." He continued. Kyuubi reached out and lightly stroked a cut on the boy's cheek which instantly sizzled and closed up as if it was never there at all.
"Am I dead?" asked Naruto, tears welling in his eyes. Kyuubi shook his head wondering what he would do if that actually happened.
"Well then I ought to die. The villagers say that." He murmured, casting his eyes to the floor.
For a moment Kyuubi's eyes blazed in anger, imagining all the things he could do to those contemptuous creatures if he was free but then he controlled himself. Right now tending to Naruto was more important.
"Come in here. You could do with a proper healing." Growled Kyuubi in an attempt to divert Naruto's attention.
Naruto looked up, eyes sparkling, and smiling he slipped between the bars and into his newfound guardian's arms.

Well how was it? Not too shabby if I say so myself. Please review and alert me if there are any spelling errors. Flamers can go and toss themselves into a barbeque. 'Kay bye!
