Disclaimer: I don't own anything other than this plot.

"That demon must die!" screamed a very irate, pink-haired woman

"Calm yourself, Camilla. He has done nothing wrong," the third Hokage said, rubbing his temples and trying to stop the growth of a headache.

"He was near my baby girl, and who knows what he could've done to her!"

"Well, what did he do to your daughter?" he asked, resting his chin on his hands.

"He tried to play with her at the park and was pushing her on the swing until I came and told him not to come near her again," she said haughtily, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Camilla, if he has not harmed her, then there is nothing that I can do, but please, Camilla, please understand he is just a boy like any other. He is just the carrier of the demon - not the demon itself."

"Sarutobi, you'll regret this. I know he is the demon, and nothing will change that," she said before storming out of the office.

'Crazy old man doesn't know what he's saying,' she thought before rushing out of the building all flustered and angry. She accidentally took some wrong turns, landing her in the red light district. She only noticed this once she heard a voice behind her.

"Look at this pinky. I think she wants some attention," one guy slurred as he walked towards her with a sake bottle in his hand.

"I've been needing a good time," another one added as the third one grabbed her arms, forcing her against the wall they'd cornered her in. She was trapped. She couldn't win against three men at the same time; she was only a civilian. She could smell the smoke and alcohol radiating off them, and she prayed to kami they would leave her be.

Apparently her prayers were unheard, as one of them licked her ear. She snapped her eyes shut in defeat. Then she heard a loud crack. Opening her eyes, she found someone had smashed a bottle over her attacker's head, knocking him out.

That someone then proceeded to slam a kick into the gut of one of the two left, the force of the kick making his head slam into one of the alley walls. However, her protector didn't see the one coming up behind him.

"There's one behind you!" she yelled out. Her protector whipped around and kicked dirt into the last one's face. Quickly grabbing a trash can lid lying abandoned on the ground, he smashed it against the man's side, causing him to fall over and hit his head against the wall that he had pushed Camilla into.

"Ma'am are you okay?" her protector asked, giving her his hand. Standing up, she noticed his short stature.

"So how did you wind up in this district? I haven't seen you around before," her protector added.

"I'm fine, and I took a wrong turn and ended up here," she answered, gesturing to the dark alley they were leaving.

"Well do you need help finding your way home? In this district you can get lost if you don't know your way around."

"That would be amazing." She was so grateful to this person. She owed him a great debt; who knows what those vile men would have done to her if this person hadn't come along. She couldn't wait until they reached the streetlamp ahead so she could see her knight in shining armor. The person took her hand and led her out of the alley and into the light where she saw exactly who her hero was: the young blonde boy in an orange jumpsuit whose death she'd been screaming for a little less than an hour ago.

"W-why did you save me?" she asked, confused as to why a demon that had killed her beloved husband would save someone who had threatened his life only that afternoon.

"You were in trouble and needed help, so I helped," he answered with a shrug of his shoulders, as if it was the simplest thing in the world.

"But you could've been hurt," she said, trying to find something that would prove he was the nine-tailed fox and not the innocent little boy Sarutobi said he was.

"Those guys weren't even ninja. I've been through much worse than they could've ever put me through," he said, tossing his hands behind his head with a grin.

Needless to say, Camilla went through brain-hell since her inner self was screaming at her to see the little boy and not the demon. The thought of her late husband hurt too, but the past hour had proven to her that the kyuubi had no influence on Naruto; he was even kind to people who had harmed him. He had risked himself to save her - someone who had threatened him over and over.

"Thank you Naruto," she said once he had led her to a street she knew.

"You're welcome, Mrs. Haruno," he replied

"Why did you help me if you know who I am?" She asked the question that had been burning in her mind all night since he had saved her.

"Well, even if you haven't been kind to me, no one deserves to be harmed or raped," he said.

Everything she had believed had been crushed like a bug that night. As Naruto turned to head back to the red light district, he collapsed. She ran over and knelt beside him and felt his forehead, he was burning up. It was then that she noticed the red liquid on the back of his jacket, one of those men must have got him with a shard of glass or something while he was protecting her. She quickly picked him up her mother insticts kicking in seeing that the child got hurt protecting her and began to run to the hospital. It was like her body had a mind of its own, but it just felt right to be helping this boy. She hoped that her husband would forgive her for helping the container of the demon that killed him.
