This is my very first fan fiction story posting here by me. This is a Naruto/Star Fox crossover. I was inspired by a lot of the pictures I've seen of Krystal, and suddenly decided to write this when I couldn't find any other stories. Please review. I need criticism to help me. No flames please. Thank you and now on with the story.
Moonlit Space Fox
Captured By Moonlight, Chapter 1
I would like to start by saying my name is Uzumaki Naruto, newly appointed Genin of Konoha, The Hidden Leaf Village. From here I would like, key word being like, to say I loved a normal ninja life with friends and family. Sadly that's not the case. I would 'like' to say I don't have a demon sealed inside me that has made my life a living hell, but that is sadly not true either. You see, the day I was born my village was attacked by the almighty Kyuubi no Kitsune, and the only way to stop it was to seal it into a living host. An adult's chakra was already far too developed to handle having a demon sealed inside him/her, so the demon had to be sealed inside a newly born baby for the sealing to be effective. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, I was the only baby born on that day.
Since that day I have lived alone; I had no parents, no friends, and I could only count three people cared for me until Iruka-sensei came along. The villager's hate, anger, and grief of the Kyuubi attack were sadly vented upon me; I was the scapegoat of every negative emotion that came from that fateful day. I was kicked from the orphanage that the old man, or Third Hokage, forced to take care of me at the ripe age of 5. I lived on the streets scrapping for food and using whatever shelter I could find until my ninth birthday. On that night, I was alone sleeping in the only shelter that I could find at the moment. Under a piece of cardboard in a dead end alley. I was awoken by the feeling of intense blinding pain. Fortunately, the pain rendered me unconscious, allowing all of the torture I received bearable.
When I came to I was in white room, on a bed with many machines near it that were hooked up to me. A hospital. The Third Hokage came to visit me. It seemed he was unaware of the fact that I was homeless for 4 years. He gave me an apartment to live in and even would give me a monthly allowance that I could hopefully live off of. From then on I lived a in an apartment by myself, barely making it by due to the fact that I could only by essentials from few stores, and even then the prices were high above normal. That same year I applied, with the help of the old man, to the ninja academy, hoping to find a way to gain money and a way of self defense. I failed. Three times in a row. Although, I believe it wasn't exactly my fault since I rarely got any help, and that was usually when the help was actually counter productive.
My story starts here.
XXXXXXX
I walked down the streets of Konoha replaying last night events in my head. After a quick review, I came to a conclusion. To put it simply, it sucked. Not only did I find out the reason my entire village hated me, but I was tricked into stealing the forbidden scroll by a traitor. It was all due to my foolishness and desperation to become a ninja. In retrospect I probably should have seen something like that coming. I mean Mizuki never treated me fairly or nicely before, so why would he suddenly have a change of heart. Iruka-sensei always told me to use my head more often; I think I should start to actually use that advice. On the lighter side, I did become a ninja, and I got to kick the crap of the traitor. Oddly enough, it actually felt good venting some anger onto someone instead of bottling it up like I usually do.
"I'm such and idiot." I say to myself as I continue walking, not seeming to take notice of the fact that I was no where near where I thought I was. When I did decide to take notice of my surroundings I was surprised to find my self in an old abandoned training ground on the outskirts of the village in a small forest.
"Woops." I decided to express my surprise vocally it would seem. Sighing to myself I look around the training ground. It was actually quite pretty. There was a small pond on the other side opposite of me, and the except for the small clearing I was in and the path I took to get here, there were closely packed trees almost completely surrounding me. Sighing once again, I decide that I need to take a nap. Thinking was not my specialty, and even if I said I would do it more often now, I was still new to it.
I slowly walked to the shore of the small pond and sat against a tree that provided shade from the scorching sun, it was quite hot today. Putting my hands behind my head, I leaned back against the rough bark, and closed my eyes. The soft sounds of nature provided a soothing sound to my ears in which caused to me fall asleep rather easily.
XXXXXXX
However soothing natures sounds can be, they can also be very annoying, and are able to wake even the heaviest of sleepers. Me being one of them. I groaned as I opened my eyes slowly expecting a bright light to blind me. Instead if saw only darkness, save for the light reflected by the moon. Finding no bright, blinding light, I fully opened my eyes to stare at the sky. The sky was filled with stars and unintentionally brought a smile to my face. I always liked the night; for me I brought protection and a place to hide from all of the troubles and dangers the daylight made visible.
I sighed once again. Damn it, now I'm starting to act like Shikimaru. Well he is smart; I guess that's not such a bad thing. Repressing myself from sighing anymore, I looked down from the sky and to rippling water of the pond I remembered from earlier. Then I saw something that would forever be burned into my memories. At first glance you would only see a fox drinking from a pond in the moonlight, but I usually saw things others didn't at first glance. That is not a normal fox, hell I don't even think it's a fox period. From where I sat, I could see a humanoid figure kneeling in front of the pond drinking. It did have a tail though, and it seemed to be blue in color, but that could just be the moon.
I watched, transfixed on the figure that was completely unaware of my presence and continued its actions. I looked closer and noticed that the figure had many distinguishable features that set it apart from a human. The tail is an obvious one, but there were others. There were triangular like protrusions on its head that were probably ears. I couldn't really make out much else. I assumed it had fur since it had bushy looking tail so yah….. Being who I am, I continued to stare blissfully ignorant of how strange it must have looked.
Ignoring my instincts that told me to approach it, I continued to stare. It wasn't my fault. I like pretty sights, and a fox type thing that was captured by the moonlight so perfectly counted as a pretty sight to me. About five minutes later of continued staring the thing finally stopped drinking from the pond. It must have been really thirst, or tired, or something of that matter. It finally looked up from the calming surface of the water, and immediately spotted me. The things eyes widened a considerable amount, and contained what I know was fear, before shooting up from its kneeling position and darted for the thick grove of trees behind it. It was running, and I, for some reason, wanted to chase it. The chase was on.
