You stared shocked as a group of villagers surrounded your dear friend, yelling and cursing him. It wasn't his fault that the Kyuubi had been sealed in him!

You ran forward, standing infront of your scared little fox. Arms crossed, you glared at the crowd, daring them to continue.

They froze for a second, confused, then pushed you aside, continuing their assault. Naruto stared at you, then grabbed your hand and started running.

You ran into the forest, panting you fell. Naruto sat a little bit away from you, turning his back to you.

You crawled over to him, you frowned when you put your hand on his shoulder and he flinched.

"Naru-kun?..." He looked up at you with big, sad, blue orbs. " Why do you stay with me? Why do you want to be my friend?...I don't deserve friendship..at least that's what everyone else thinks..."

You stared at him blankly. " You can leave if you want... I don't need your pity.."

You slapped him. Holding his face, you made him look into your eyes. " Shut up, forget those ignorant villagers! I won't ever leave you Naruto! I..."

You gasped lightly when he pushed his lips against yours. He pulled back and glanced at the ground, his cheeks tinted red.

You smiled at him, and pulled him into your arms. You kissed him, with a little more practice than what he had.

He nibbled on your lip uncertainly, and you gasped when he bit harder, giving his tongue entrance.

Your tongues battled for dominance, naturally considering your attitudes. You always forgot just how much he had grown when he left to train with Jiraiya.

You still referred to him affectionatly as your 'little fox', but now you realising just how much your kitsune had matured.

Somehow your shirt had found it's way onto the ground, and Naruto was moving onto your neck. You pulled off his jacket, then grabbed his shirt, you tugged at it, and growled lightly when it wouldn't come off.

Naruto chuckled huskily, making you blush. He leaned off of you, pulling his shirt off. You gazed at his finely toned chest, his natural tanned skin tone making all the more delicious. You frowned slightly at the sight of a rather nasty looking scar above his heart, but decided to enjoy this experience now, and ask questions later.

He smirked and pulled you into another deep kiss. Oh yes, your kitsune had certainly grown. And you couldn't wait to experience the 'Jiraiya effect' first hand.
