Oblivious When it Comes to Love

Chapter 1

Its cold…and I feel wet…Where am I? Minato Kun? Where are you? Ugh… I feel like crap…but this feeling; I've felt it before… but where?

The area soon started to tremble as a bone chilling laughter echoed through the area. "Ahhh. Kushina Uzumaki, how nice of you to join me once again."

That voice…I know that voice… the red haired kunoichi thought. A few minutes past by when realization finally hit her. K-K-Kyuubi! Wait… What is he doing in Heaven…I didn't know demons could go to Heaven…

Kyuubi grunted in annoyance as he rolled his blood red eyes. "I didn't think you'd gotten this stupid since we last met, I still can't understand why the yondaime hokage actually married someone like you."

Kushina slowly opened her eyes to find that she was in fact, not in Heaven… well, at least not anymore she thought. It was dark and she noticed that she was lying in shallow water. She looked to her right well knowing what she'd find. A large cage with blood red eyes meeting hers just beyond it. It had a seal on it signaling that it was definitely inaccessible, well, more like inescapable.

"K-Kyuubi sama? Is that really you? Huh? What am I doing here? I'm not your container anymore… my…my son is…" She stated with her eyebrows furrowed and a frown could be seen on her face; she was obviously confused with the whole situation.

"Yes. You are correct. Your son is my current container but… you should already know why you are here seeing as Minato has already informed you about this awhile back." The nine tailed demon stated looking at her to see her reaction.

"Eh? I-I uh…don't remember… ehehehe." She said sheepishly while scratching the back of her head.

Kyuubi sighed. "Hn. Figures, I was there when Minato was explaining the whole thing. It was during the time when you were still my container. Do you not remember him calling you and requesting to talk to you about what would happen in Naruto's future?" Hequestioned, still eyeing her confused expression.

Kushina pondered for a moment wearing an expression of pure concentration. With her eyes closed and her eyebrows furrowed while her arms were crossed. The veins in her forehead were practically popping out from her thinking too much.

"Ugh. You better stop thinking before you break. I'll just tell you since pondering about it is proving to be quite the challenge for you. Heh, you certainly are just like your idiot of a son. " He commented with a grin that showed he was amused by her predicament.

"Alright…" she replied. After a few seconds of analyzing what he had just said she shot him a menacing glare while pointing at him accusingly and shouted, "What did you just say you- you- you piece of fur used for designer jackets?"

"Oh my… you can't be serious, can you? Just, Just listen will you gaki? Your lame insults are making my head hurt. Now sit down and relax seeing as you are slow on picking up on things, this will take awhile. A long while." Kyuubi mentally groaned knowing that the time he will be spending with her will be just agonizing. He was already missing the time he was alone in the empty cell.

The red haired woman sighed in defeat. "Fine," She huffed while sitting back down with a pout on her face, "but my son is not an idiot!" she finished, still angry about his comment about Naruto.

The nine tailed demon laughed as the room started to tremble once again. The yondaime's wife frowned at this and asked kyuubi what was so funny.

"Yes, your son is certainly not just an idiot. He is an oblivious and dense idiot. He is actually the cause of our current predicament. " Kyuubi answered calmly.

Kushina narrowed her eyes, obviously not believing what he had just said. "What do you mean?" She questioned finally knowing Kyuubi had no reason to lie to her.

"Well…he has not yet found the person who is destined to love him, and he to love."Kyuubi answered truthfully.

"And uhh… What does that have to do with anything?"

Kyuubi cleared his throat readying himself for the long explanation."Ehmm… well the Namikaze clan, the clan of your beloved husband, was known for their strength, wealth, traditions and many more including the fact that they would face the toughest of decisions following their hearts. All of this would be later passed down to the current heirs…that is, if they proved themselves worthy."

"Eh? What do you mean by…worthy?"

"Naruto is 19 now, a jounin at that. Heck, he even has his own genin team. Though, besides all of those achievements, Naruto has never in his life had a girlfriend. And by 20…he should have to have found his wife to be. The one destined to love him; one of the few people who are worthy to love one of the Namikaze Clan. If he fails to do this by 20, well let's just say he won't be inheriting anything whatsoever from the Namikaze Clan. That's where you come in, Kushina Uzumaki. You will be the one to help your son find this person.

"E-eto…. She said tapping her chin. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… "EHHHH?" "How do you expect me to do that?" She exclaimed after recapping what Kyuubi said.

"Well, you are here aren't you? Inside Naruto? It will enable you to communicate with him once in a while. You just have to Channel your Chakra and focus it to Naruto's nerves which will notify him of anything you want to say; you may even be able to control his movement a little if you really tried." Kyuubi informed the red haired ninja.

Kushina grinned. "Hehe. Sounds fun Kyuubi sama! Ttebane!" She yelled happily after realizing she would be able to help her son.

She abruptly stopped her happy exclamation when she remembered she had one more question.

"Kyuubi sama? How…how did I get here though?" She questioned rather curiously.

"Ah. Well, during the sealing Minato included some of your chakra and made sure that if Naruto were to require any help with this situation you would be there to help him."

"But why isn't he here? Why am I the only one here?" She questioned yet again.

Kyuubi chuckled already knowing what her reaction would be. "Minato asked you about it and you apparently said that you would be okay with being Naruto's guide in his love life with a simple nod. He said some other crap about how he would need a mother's instinct. You were still sleepy when he requested to talk to you so you weren't exactly listening. Plus, when he came back with the tea he said he would get before you would talk, you already drew fake eyes on your eyelids in the hopes that he wouldn't know you were sleeping."(A/N: like the ones in the movie of Pirates of the Caribbean.)

"Why that Minato…" She mumbled angrily as she clasped her hands into fists with fire sparking in her eyes. "That no good piece of crap! He took advantage of my innocent gesture to get some sleep! When I get my hands on him I will…And I will…And…"

Kyuubi didn't hear the rest seeing as he was too busy imagining what will happen when she sees Minato again.

Minato was sitting beneath a beautiful cherry blossom tree wondering about how Kushina was doing with Kyuubi right now. That's when he felt a chill run up his spine. "Woah. I thought I felt some intense killer intent near me." He looked around, saw nothing, and shrugged. "Guess it was just me." He chuckled at his paranoia.
