I do not own any right or character or have creative control of Naruto. If you think I do, try bringing a lawsuit. I do not have any money or anything of monetary value anyways. Besides, what idiot would think I would have right anyways? By doing this I am covering my own ass.

I have not decided if this will contain lemons or not. But just in case, this is for mature readers only; if you're underage do not read. Well, that covers my ass again.

This takes place after the time skip (after the Sasuke retrieval mission). If you have not seen or read that far, you have been warned that there will be spoilers. This story happens after Naruto's mission to find the Akatsuki, spy in Sound, fight Orochimaru and face Sasuke. So if you are not that far, then continue at your own risk.

The Winds of Change

Chapter 1: The Mistake

My name is Ino Yamanaka. A mistake can forever damage your life, kill you or even put friends and teammates and village in danger. But some mistakes can change your life in ways that you cannot predict. And that change can be for the better. My accident improved my life and brought me love. Looking back, I would not want to change a thing that happened on that day.

Naruto and Sakura had returned from mission yesterday. That day, our teams were training together in mock combat exercises. Their teamwork was incredible. I mean: Sakura had brute strength and Naruto had his amazing jutsu. Even the newcomer, Sai: his ink drawings were making it difficult for me to keep up. Sai wasn't an original part of the team, but it seemed as if they had been working together for years. Just meeting Sai today, I have to admit he is pretty strange. And that is describing him as kindly as I can.

My father always said "If you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all." And I have taken that to heart. I know I've always insulted Sakura, but that is a special case and I happen to like my nickname for her: "billboard brow". Well, back to our spar.

We would have been in trouble if it was not for the tactical genius of my teammate: Shikamaru. We would have lost along time ago but Shikamaru managed to get Naruto caught in his shadow with Kage Mane no Jutsu. That left an opening for me. I wove the sign and yelled, "Shintenshin no Jutsu" to take control of Naruto's mind. But when opened my eyes, I was in strange sewer.

'Am I in Naruto's mind? What the hell is this?' I wondered when I heard a mixture between a howl and snarl. All I know is that I've never heard anything like it before. It freaked me out. I do not why I continued forward. Maybe it was curiosity or something was pulling me, but I walked until I reach a giant prison. Out of the shadows came a voice.

"Kit… what are you doing here and what you want?" an evil and ancient voice boomed. A pair of giant, dark red eyes with vertical slits opened in front of me and the speaker laughed

He laughed, "You are not the kit. Who are you and why are you here?"

I squeaked, "I Am Ino Yamanaka. I used a jutsu to enter Naruto's mind. Is this Naruto's mind? May I ask who you are?"

He answered with a cold, dark grin "No this is not Naruto's mind if that idiot has mind at all. This is my prison. I am a Biju and Naruto is my Jinchuriki. I am The Nine-Tailed Fox spirit. I am Kyubi."

To say I was shocked was understatement.

"But you're dead."

He laughed, "No, the Fourth was not strong enough for that. Instead he sealed me inside this weak boy and now he is my prison… my container if you may."

I yelled back at him, "Naruto is not weak."

"What? Do you have feelings for the boy?" Kyubi mocked.

"No! I mean… yes, he is a friend and comrade," I replied hastily.

"The boy has little strength, but his true strength comes from me. Remember that fight with Hyuuga Neji," said Kyubi haughtily.

"Yes, I do remember. But that was Naruto's strength. He never gives up and finds the will to continue. He always believes in himself, his friends and what is in his heart," I argued back to him.

"Believe what you will, girl. I tire of this. Leave or I will break this seal and devour you." Kyubi growled with a threatening grin.

I quickly released the jutsu breathing heavily and staring at Naruto. He looked back at me, face twisted with shock and confusion. I wonder why I argued with Kyubi. Did I have feelings for Naruto… more than friendship?
