Summary: Very few knew that Shukaku the Sand Spirit was not really a one-tailed raccoon, but a nine-tailed fox just as Kyuubi. Even fewer knew that Kyuubi and Shukaku were not only twin brothers, but also lovers, as was tradition in the demon world. When Shukaku was sealed away, and Kyuubi found out, he destroyed the thing closest to him. That just so happened to be the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Now that they both were sealed away, with no chance of ever encountering each other, they both went slightly insane. Because of their bond, they both gave Gaara and Naruto the chance to telepathically speak to one another. Maybe there's hope for them yet.
A/N: Yes, I realize that the summary was more of a background story. Anyway, I've had this idea for a long time, and now I've finally writing something for it. I am also slowly working with my other fics and thinking about rewriting some of them. Ideas are always welcome

"MONSTER!"
"DEMON"
"KILLER"
These horrible names followed Naruto like a shadow, ignored but forever there. With his head down and hands stuffed in his pockets, Naruto silently made his way home, trying to ignore the whispers of the villagers. Making it to the small, run down apartment complex, he pulled out his keys and opened the splintering door that rested on rusty hinges, a simply 301 painted near the top.
Team seven had no training tomorrow, which made Naruto a little happy. He finally had enough time to paint, and talk with his brother. His only family left. 'I may never have met him, but that doesn't matter. He is my brother, as I am his.'
Walking inside his small apartment, he threw his keys on the hook just inside the door, and stripped off his orange jacket. Pulling off his shoes, and quickly untying his headband he went into his room and put all this stuff in their proper places. Walking over to a simple dresser and opening the top draw, he pulled out a half finished painting. Resting it on his bed, he turned back to pull out the rest of his needed supplies.
'Hmmm. Maybe I will take a shower first. Yes, that sounds nice.'
Going to the bathroom across the hall, Naruto quickly stripped the rest of his cloths off, and stepped under the warm running water. Humming a song long forgotten by Men, he slowly washed himself of the grime that had gathered during training. As his body began to relax, he heard a soft voice from the back of his mind.
'Hard day?' It asked.
'A little, nothing really new. How about you? Are you ok?' He responded, smiling when he heard the familiar voice.
'I'm fine, you shouldn't worry about me. I can protect myself.'
'That doesn't mean that you're ok. Did you "Father" try anything today?' Naruto said, making sure to add extra distain when he said "father". That man had no right being anywhere near kids, let alone having some.
'No. He's left me alone lately.'
'Good. I can't stand knowing what he does to you, and not being able to stop him.' Naruto was now almost done with his shower.
'I know Naruto. Soon he won't be able to stop me, soon we will be together. Soon, we can go Home.'
'Oh Gaara, I can't stand it here. I just want to be with you. Be with you, free from these damned villagers, and free to be ourselves.' Reaching out to Gaara through his mind, Naruto tried to convey his feelings.
'I know Naruto, I know. I must go for now, but I will contact you later tonight.' With that said, Gaara withdrew from Naruto.
Sighing softly, Naruto stepped out of the shower and dried himself off. Looking at himself in the mirror, he sighed again. Soft spiky blond hair that fell delicately around his face, soft tan skin, 3 pale scars on each cheek, bright blue eyes, and full red lips. He had a lean, small body, long legs, and subtle curves. 'I'm so ugly. I'm sure Gaara's beautiful, and here I am looking like a woman.' Wrapping a towel around his thin waist, he walked back into his room.
Distracted by his thoughts, he didn't notice someone else in his room. Walking over to his painting, he picked it up and looked at it. It was two foxes curled up together, one a tan brown and one a reddish-orange. They were underneath an ancient tree with long vines wrapped around all the other trees in the area.
"Uh….Naruto?"
Gasping at the unexpected voice, he spun around to face the window. There, sitting on the window sill, was his sensei.
"K-kakashi-sensei, what are you doing here?"
"Well, Iruka and I have been worried about you lately. You've been acting differently."
Smiling softly at his sensei's worried tone; he couldn't help but feel a little bad for not only worrying his sensei, but for also worrying Iruka.
"I'm ok sensei. I've just been a little distracted lately by my thoughts. With the Chunin exam finals coming up and all. Anyway, I'm sorry for worrying you two."
Nodding, and giving Naruto a smile, Kakashi poofed away. Turning away from the window, Naruto quickly wrapped himself in a simple white Yukata. Walking into the small kitchen, he noticed a bowl over flowing with fruits and vegetable on his table. 'Kakashi must have put it there while I was in the shower.' Smiling gratefully, he walked over and grabbed a red apple. Biting into it, he returned to his room and got dresses properly.
Putting his apple down, Naruto grabbed a cobalt blue shirt that showed off his soft curves (he didn't realize this of course) and simple black jeans. Once changed, he tied his head band around his neck, and finished his apple. Putting his art supplies in a black bag and tucking his painting under his arm, he jumped out the window.
Walking back through the village towards the forest, Naruto ignored the looks he was getting. Unnoticed by him, and pair of teal eyes watched his every move.
