Disclaimer: No, I do not own Naruto. I would love to though, he's so cute!

Naruto: Uaaaaaa! She said I'm cute!

waycrazy: Of course I did! Especially as a cute little Kyuubi no Kitsune kit! Oh, and don't forget Sasuke...

Naruto: Awwww...Hey, wait! Onto the story!

Sasuke: What did you say about me?

waycrazy: Ahem Hehe...Like Naruto said, onto the story! runs away

Sasuke: Hey! I wasn't done talking to you!

A loud mewling rose up from a small, snug cave, the residents oblivious to the pouring rain or howling wind outside.

"Well, he sure has a good set of lungs" a male voice said as a bright red Kyuubi came into view.

"Ooooh, he's beautiful!" a female voice said, sounding a bit weary, as a mother Kyuubi came into view, soaked with sweat, along with a little kit, nuzzling his mother, looking for sustenance. The parents gasped with surprised joy as the kit rolled over, reveling a blonde marking on his belly before it slowly started to fade away.

"A true Uzumaki." the father kitsune said proudly, beaming, as the mother nodded.

"Yes…Uzumaki Naruto." She murmured softly as the new kit fell silent, finding what he was looking for.

"Mom, mom! What's this?" the three-month-old kit asked curiously, his words slightly muffled by the squirming mouse in his mouth. "It's a mouse, dear. Now leg it go before you give the poor think a heart attack." the mother Kyuubi chided softly, and the kit simply wagged his many tails. "Yes, mother!" he said before dashing off again, mouse still in his mouth.

"Curious little thing, isn't he?" the father said as he padded into view, and the mother laughed. "He's been bringing things back all day, asking what they are." she said with an exasperated sigh.

"Oh? Well, if he's not careful, he's going to end up bringing something home that doesn't want to be brought."

---

A sleek black kitten crawled along the forest floor on his belly, stalking a moue ahead of him. He stopped and growled when the mouse scampered away before he could pounce, a presence warning it.

The next few minutes seemed to go in slow motion; a red blur burst from the bushes to the kitten's side, yelping when he ran into the feline, then again when he received four neat little scratches across his nose as the kitten acted instinctively. The kitsune pup hid behind his many tails, whimpering softly.

"What are you?" the kitten asked after studying the red sniffling creature. Naruto slowly lifted his head from his tails, tears swimming in his soft, ocean-blue eyes. "M-my mommy calls me a 'kitsune.'" He sniffled, and the kitten let out a snort.

"You're not a normal fox. You've got too many tails, dobe."

"Hey! Don't call me done, teme!"

"My name isn't 'teme'."

"What is it, then?"

"You should always give your name before asking for another's."

The young kit growled in frustration at this, to which the kitten simply glared at him. After a few minutes…

"Uzumaki Naruto."

"Uchiha Sasuke."

The kit's nine tails soon began to flicker back and forth, and his head quirked to one side as he inspected the kitten.

"What are you doing, dobe?" Sasuke finally demanded, annoyance flashing in his dark eyes.

"I'm trying to figure out what you are, Sasuke-teme!" the kitsune replied cheerfully, grinning at the grouchy kitten.

"Well, I'm not going to tell you until you tell me what you are." he replied, tail twitching now from his annoyance.

"Fine. Then I'll just show you to mommy and ask her." Naruto said, standing up and walking purposely towards Sasuke.

"Just what in the hell makes you think I'll-"Sasuke started, but was cut off when he was picked up by the scruff of his neck. He didn't move as Naruto started to walk back to his den, a relaxed feeling flooding over the kitten. That was, until he realized what was happening.

Sasuke's claws shot out as he twisted and swiped at Naruto, yowling. The kit yelped, but didn't let go, a fierce determination shining in his eyes.

---

"Mum! Mum!" the now very scratched and bloodied Naruto called out, his words muffled by a very pissed Sasuke-kitten.

The mother Kyuubi slipped out of the den, gasping with dismay as she spotted her torn-up kit, followed by the laughter of the father.

"I told you he was going to bring something that didn't want to be brought." he said, eyeing the angry kitten with an amused expression.

"Mell? Rhat is 'e?" (Well, what is he?) the kit asked, snapping the mother out of her daze.

"Fine! I'm a kitten already, dove! Now let me go!" Sasuke hissed, swiping at Naruto again. His claws didn't reach his intended target though, seeing that Naruto had dropped him.

"Hey! I told you not to call me that, Sasuke-teme!"

"And I told you not to call me that."

The two glared at each other for a few minutes until the father Kyuubi cleared his throat, causing Sasuke to jump, his tail puffing out, and Naruto to break out into a wide grin as he dashed over to his father.

"I found a kitten, daddy!" he exclaimed cheerfully, absolutely beaming.

"I see that…he got the best of you, no?" he asked as he took in his son's ruffled and bloodied appearance before glancing over to Sasuke, who was currently glaring at Naruto as he cleaned himself.

"Yah..." the kit said, drawing his attention back to his son, "because Sasuke-teme wouldn't tell me what he was!" Naruto cried out, pouting now.

"Sasuke…teme?" the older fox said, shaking his head.

"That's because you wouldn't tell me what you are, dobe."

"But I did tell you! I'm a kitsune!"

"You aren't any normal kitsune!"

"We are," the father Kyuubi said, interrupting the shouting match, "Kyuubi no Kitsunes. You are…Sasuke-teme?"

The kitten shot a glare at Naruto before shaking his head. "My name is Uchiha Sasuke. That…dobe added the last part.

"Because you called me a dobe!"

"I can't help what you are."

"I can't help what you are!"

"Sasuke…" the father interrupted again, "where are your parents? You're too young to be out alone."

A flash of pain dashed through the dark kitten's eyes before he turned away.

"My…older brother killed them. Along with the rest of my family."
