Discalimer: i dont own any of the inuyasha or naruto characters if id id Itachi and the Fourth wouldnt have died

Chapter one:

a lone figure emerged from ash and smoke of the once former ninja village known as Konoha; the figure stumbled forward with hunched shoulders and a bloody sword held in a limp grasp. The soot and blood bedecked figure raised its head and gazed with dull eyes at the scarred mountain that held the faces of her villages mightiest protectors, from this distance it looked as if the faces were crying with her as the rain fell in rivulets down their damaged visages.

Naruko Uzumaki's heart shattered as she took on the destruction around her; was this the result of all they worked for? This pile of smoking that once held all of her dreams? She had tried so hard and in the end it still wasnt enough to protect her loved ones.

With a heart-wrenching cry she shared her grief with the now barren elemental nations. Sobbing, Naruko clutched the sword to her chest and fell down to her knees, letting her tears drench the dusty ground.

In the distance a large crimson fox with nine tails watched on and felt its stone heart crack as he witnessed the grief of his container.; the Kyuubi hated humans with a passion but this small human female was different, she had done the impossible and had gained his trust. Kyuubi sighed and moved forward to wrap his tails around the trembling figure.

Naruko allowed the appendages to enfold her and stared with wet dulled eyes into crimson orbs. With Sasuke's sword still grasped in her pale fingers, she spoke for the first time since the last battle.

''Kurama, i dont know what to do anymore. I'm alone now.''

Kyuubi's eyes softened slightly.

''Kit, all is not completely lost.''

Naruko blinked and stared at her friend in confusion.

''What do you mean?''

''Don't misunderstand me kit as powerful as i am, not even i can go back in i cn send you to a new world, some place where you can heal and start a new life.''

Naruko's eyes blazed with sudden anger and snarled at the Youkai Lord.

''You're asking me just to forget about them? They were my family and i wont just dismiss them!''

Kyuubi growled and bared his teeth at the blonde.

''You idiot! Thats not what i meant at all, theres nothing left here but blood and smoke Naruko. All that remains are the corpses of your comrades. I thought i knew you better than that, what happened to the Naruko who said that she'll never give up? Because that person is my partner, not this sniveling mortal before me!''

Naruko flinched as if struck and hung her head in shame. Kyuubi sighed before giving his unruly head of the blonde a slight nuzzle.

''Kit i never said that you should forget them for they are part of you but you cannot let this grief stop you from living. Take my offer dear one.''

Naruko lifted her head and gazed at the regal fox with a small flicker of life returning to her blue eyes.

''Will you come too?''

the nine tails sighed,'' I cannot. The Youkai needed to send you to this world will send me back to my realm.''

''Then why? Why would you do this for me?'' she asked shocked.

Kyuubi grinned,''Because thats what partners do, is it not?''

Naruko let a few more tears fall before giving the fox a watery smile.

''Then i'll do it.''
