Ch. 1 The Plot Thickens...

Uzumaki Naruto was perched atop the highest building in Konoha, pouting like a child.

A month had gone by since his battle with Pain, a month since Konaha had been rebuilt. A month since Hyuuga Hinata, heiress to the Hyuuga clan and his always supportive friend, had confessed that she loved him.

GRRRRRAAAAHHH!!!!!!! Naruto yelled to himself, HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUPID?!?!?!?! All those years, and I STILL couldn't figure it out???

You really are a worthless baka, child... the familiar, low voice said in the depths of his mind.

Shut it Fox, Naruto thought angrily, You could have killed her that day!

But it was your anger that let me loose, so it was your fault Kit.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Naruto exclaimed, his fingers gripping his blond hair as his face tilted up to the sky. "WHY AM I SO STUPID??!??!?!?!??!!" He sighed and slumped a bit, a sad look in his eyes and a pink shade darkening his cheeks. Since that day, every time he though of Hinata, his heart beat erratically and his body grew hot. He felt clumsy and weak, and grew determined to prove to her he was strong; yet whenever he saw her, he ran away, terrified he might make a fool out of himself in front of her. He wished he could understand this feeling, it was something different from the feelings he used to have for Sakura; far more powerful and meaningful, almost like...destiny...

"Man..." he sighed, trying to calm his heart, "I wish Onee-chan was here to help me figure this out...she'd know what to d--"

"YO NARUTOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Naruto screamed as a familiar voice blasted in his ear, but lost his balance and fell off the top of the building, plummeting downward. His screams continued as wind rushed past him, closing his eyes as he awaited the smack of the earth. He was quite surprised when he felt someone grab onto his ankle and hoist him up suddenly, stopping his fall. He opened his eyes to see he was inches from the dirt street of Konoha and felt several drops of sweat falling down from his forehead. "Geeze, Naruto," the familiar voice said from above him, "you gotta relax...I didn't yell that loud did I?"

Naruto looked up to the voice and smiled childishly at his savior. A young woman, in her late twenties, with long, dirty blond hair, which was tied in a thick braid, turquoise eyes, a big sack slung over her right shoulder, and a baggy, fur-collared coat held onto Naruto's right ankle as if he weighed no more than a kitten; his foot was exactly at level with her shimmering eyes and her arm never so much as quiver as he hung inches above the dirt street under him. He was floating on something, Naruto didn't know what, but soon she grabbed onto his wrist and flipped him right-side-up. His butt landed on something flat, but sturdy, and he suddenly felt the wind rushing past him again as the girl tapped her heel onto whatever they were on top of. Naruto looked down and noticed they were riding, or rather surfing, on some kind of Chakara propelled board; the woman was yelling to people in the street to move aside and they dodges shoppers and turned corners, stopping when they came to a nice-looking house near the front gate of Konoha. Naruto flew forward, having no grip on the flying board, but was stopped from crashing when the woman snatched his collar and gently pulled him back to stand on his feet

"How'd you like the ride Naruto?" she asked, still standing on the floating board, an easy-going smile on her face.

Naruto was catching his breath, but then burst out in frustration, his arms swinging madly as he yelled, "Next time tell me when you're gonna stop Akari-onee-chan!!!"

Akari kicked up the board and it spun around, spitting a blue chakara, until it shrunk into a thin, pocket-sized rectangle. She caught it and tucked it away into one of her coat pockets, smiling slyly now and replying, "You know you had fun."

Akari Motsumoto was a long-time resident of Konoha who recently became a Jonin. She like an older sister to Naruto, and the two had been close friends for quite a long time, but Akari had taken a few several-year-long trips to distant nation for training, and was usually out doing high-level missions as well. Yet, when she returned to the village, she and Naruto were rarely seporable. She had a young, slenger face, which was framed by her nicely cut side bangs, and her laugh was sweet and comforting. She had away been on a three-year-journey this time, the same amount of time Naruto was away with Jiraiya, and Naruto guess she was tired after her journey; after all, she had led them to her apartment. Akari walked up the steps of her apartment and pulled out some keys, asking to the still frustrated Naruto behind her, "Are you coming in and telling me what's wrong or are you gonna just pout all day?"

Naruto sat on Akari's couch with his arms propped up behind his head; it had been lo long since he had last been inside her apartment that he had forgotten how comfortable it was. Akari's apartment was a bit dusty after her absence, as it usually was when she returned from her training, and her furniture was cover with white sheets, but Naruto had taken the one covering the couch off so he could sit down. Akari came in from the kitchen, her hair unbraided and wavy, with two cups of instant ramen, one chicken and one beef, and joined Naruto on the couch, "So what's eatin' ya?" she asked, handing Naruto the beef ramen and a pair of chopsticks.

Naruto then explained to her what happened a month before. She knew about Pain's attach on Konoha, but was surprised when she heard about Hinata's sudden confession; she knew about the Hyuuga's feelings for Naruto, but never expected her to reveal her feelings in such conditions. "She's really gotten stronger..." Akari said when Naruto had finished, sipping her ramen broth slowly, "I guess she surprised everyone..."

"So what do I do?" Naruto asked hopelessly, "I feel so scared around her, like I'll mess up or something. I don't want to loose my chances with her..."

"Looks like you've finally gotten into her shoes." Akari replied, finishing up her ramen and putting it onto the coffee table, "I think she basically felt like you do know when you two were in the academy together. You need to start getting closer to her, get more comfortable around her so your fears disappear."

"But how? I can't talk to her cuz I know I'm gonna mess up somehow..."

The two sat in silence for a few minuets, then Akari looked over at her sack, which she had placed against the wall near the front door. She smiled, whispering, "I may have an answer..."

She rummaged through the pack for several moments until she pulled out a small, dull tin. She sat back down and opened the lid to reveal a bunch of little, white powdery-looking sweets. She smiled and nodded, "This'll definitely do the trick."

"How will treats help me out?!" Naruto asked confused.

Akari glared at Naruto, "Haven't you learned anything from all the stuff I've shown you from my travels?" She picked one up and held it between her face and Naruto's, "This little baby packs more of a punch in it than it looks. I got them in the Maple Forest Village; these pastries are used in courting among young lovers, and are VERY effective." Naruto began listening with wide eyes, "The women of the village don't know because its a HUGE secret, but whenever a man wants to court the woman he loves, he eats one of these babies and is transformed into a baby version of, what the villagers called 'Spirit Animal;' he then goes to the woman he loves as the animal and learns as much about her as he can until he transforms back. He then returns as a human and has a ten times higher chance of being with her!!"

Naruto though about Akari's proposal for a moment then asked questions. "How long do you stay in transformation?"

"One week, and you can't talk while transformed."

"Any way to tell what your Spirit Animal is?"

"It relates to your personality mostly."

"Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Have I ever been wrong?"

Naruto looked down at the little treat and gulped, "Let's do it." He snatched the treat and popped it in his mouth, chewing it well before swallowing. It had a citrus and nutty taste to it, but was quite sweet. Naruto sat for several moments after swallowing, waiting for something to happen, then noticed Akari was gone. He was about to yell out her name when a white cloud poofed around him and he felt his body shrinking. He discovered he was now buried under his clothes and fought to get out, but then felt himself being pulled out from the depths of his clothes and high above the couch. Akari looked at him and smiled helplessly, "Awwwwww, I knew you'd be a little fox Naruto..."

Naruto was now less than a foot tall standing on all-fours and was about two feet long from the tip of his little kitsune nost to the end of his bushy, orange tail. His feet had little white socks and his face had a white muzzel, but his ears and tail were tipped black. He still bore the familiar fox markings on his kitsune face and his eyes were bigger and bluer than ever. Akari cradeled him gently in her arms and scratched him behind the ears, giggling as his leg pumped up and down, helpless in her grip. "Now all that's left is how we're gonna get you to Hinata..." Akari said, looking around her covered apartment.

She better not do that again... Naruto thought, mewling angrily to himself.

You look rediculaous.

Fuck you fox...
