Inspired by aislin04's Kyuubi's Mother.
Chapter One: What was your Mother's name?
Uzumaki Naruto had never seen his parents. He didn't even know their names, but it was not something that he thought about often anyway. After he turned eight and the Hokage told him that he was unsure as to the identities of Naruto's parents the little boy stopped wondering. Later, the abuse heaped on him by the village would give him the impression that the villagers were correct in saying that his status as a 'demon' had driven his parents to abandon him. No one in or out of Konoha had sought to change this view, so Naruto went with the thought that it was true and tucked the pain away in his mind where only the fox could see it.
It wasn't until a mission to take a message to Kazahana Koyuki in Yuki no Kuni that the issue returned to Naruto's mind and a question joined it.
'Hey Kyuubi? Did you have a mother?'
To say the fox was surprised at the question was an understatement. Contrary to what Naruto and every other human thought, Kyuubi didn't hate his jailor; didn't have it in him to hate the child who had not been given a choice. He really couldn't remember why he had even attacked in the first place, only remembering rage…which was strange as kitsune were known throughout demon circles as one of the least likely to be thrown into a rage. He cocked his head at the boy sitting on the far side of the bars to his prison, his eyes now a beautiful sea blue, though Naruto hadn't noticed.
'Of course I had a mother…though I do not remember the one who birthed me. She died before I could know her.'
'So…you don't know what it is like to have a mother?'
Kyuubi pondered this. He had an answer for the kit, but he was unsure whether or not he wanted to share with the child. The boy's earnest expression made up the fox's mind; Kyuubi's face softened and Naruto finally noticed the change in eye color.
'I was adopted when I was a kit by…the most wonderful ningen that ever graced this world.'
'Ningen? You were adopted by a human?'
'Not just a human, a miko. A human whose abilities were perfectly created for destroying my kind.'
If you can't guess who Kyuu's mother is…I feel bad for you! :P
