The Middle of Nowhere

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or anything else, if I did Naruto would be a fan of Rock & Roll

AN: The idea for this little fic came to me while watching an AMV for a song titled The Middle.

Naruto was thinking about Hinata's fight when suddenly Jiraiya pushed him over a cliff. Naruto remembered he was in the middle of training and tried to contact the Kyubi but his mind kept on coming back to the fight. Kyubi noticed this and bulled the blond Xerox into his mind.

"Kit what the #$% are you doing? You're going to get us killed," bellowed the Kyubi. Naruto looked around with a dumb look for a few seconds before he realized where he was. Next thing they both noticed was Hinata was also there. Kyubi decided to be a smart aleck and spoke up at this time "Kit that your girlfriend? If not let me out and I'll have some fun with her."

Naruto decided to drop his act for a second. "First off, you're never getting out of here. Second, she seems to like me but I don't know my own feelings for her. Third give me your chakra and we will be fine."

'I never thought this kit was this intelligent. He seems to be a very good actor. I have a good felling about this kit,' Kyubi thought before answering him. "Kit, I'll give you my chakra and adopt you as my own way my youki won't damage you when you use it. By the way, I'm a girl."

Naruto wasn't as surprised as she thought he'd be and he asked her a question that seemed sort of strange. "I'll accept if you answer me this, can you teach me to be a healer?"

"Kit, I can't teach you med-nin jutsu but I teach you about natural healing using herbs, flowers and berries." "I accept your offer Kyubi."

After that Naruto found himself still falling. He used the summoning jutsu and got a fox and Gamabunta, the toad boss. The fox had eight tails and its fur was lavender. Gamabunta was ticked to find a small boy on his head and was about to yell at Jiraiya when the fox spoke up. "Who dares use the fox summon after what happened to Kyubi-sama!" Naruto discovered that on his arm there was a tattoo on his arm, the kanji for "fox". Naruto spoke up "I summoned both of you apparently, though I never signed the fox contract. I used the chakra Kyubi-kasan gave me." The fox radiated anger when he mentioned Kyubi-kasan. "What right do you have calling Kyubi-sama kasan? She was killed before she had any kits of her own."

Naruto explained what happened inside his head. Gamabunta, who had been quiet until now, spoke up "Wait a minute blonde, the Kyubi just decided to make you her kit. I don't believe it, not one bit." Naruto responded, "Believe it! She probably decided to do it because she knew how bad my life is. I am glad to have a mother now." "I can not contest Kyubi-sama's decision, there for as Boss of the fox summons, I, Chou welcome you into the Kitsune clan. I shall take you to the top of this drop off." Gamabunta decided to join them in order to yell at the "toad sage".

Jiraiya was worried. The kid was a few feet from the bottom of the cliff when he summoned not just Gamabunta, but a fox the same size as the toad. He tried to sneak away, knowing Gamabunta would yell at him for something, but was out of luck because the toad boss landed a few feet in front of him with the fox, which had the kid on its head, landed behind him. Naruto jumped of the head and saw Jiraiya. "I found Ero-sanin," the sun-kissed boy yelled out, causing the fox to shrink down and attack the self-proclaimed super pervert.

Hinata had woken from her injuries a few days ago. She was forced to stay so the doctors and med-nin could make sure that nothing would happen to aggravate her injuries. Her cousin had severely weakened her heart and they were worried she might get an irregular heartbeat (AN: don't remember its name). She wasn't worried about that. She was worried that if she was seen as weak, then her sister would have to take up her spot as heiress, a spot she wouldn't wish upon anybody. She heard footsteps coming to her room and was curious as to who it was. A runner came in and gave her a letter and a CD. She was curious as to who sent her the message, so she opened it to find this:

To my lavender phoenix,

I saw your match in the prelims. I wish I could help you more with your condition, but I might be able to soon. I also might reveal myself to you. Until then, I leave this song as my message to you.

Your Admirer,

Orange Fox

The hospital had a CD player in every room, so Hinata got up and put the CD in the player. She was surprised to hear "Hey, Don't write yourself off yet…" Her favorite song was on the CD. Somehow, Orange Fox had given her the best present ever. She sighed when she heard the fading "Everything will be alright." She had been getting letters from Orange Fox since she had become a genin. They were filled with encouragement and advice and such. She would have to tell this Orange Fox though that she was already in love with someone else, but they could still be friends.

KoM91: I think that this is a good place to stop

Hinata: Why are you toying with me and naruto-kun like this

KoM91: 'cause it's fun and it builds suspense and story.
