Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, just any characters I make up, an unexpected gift for the number one knuckle head ninja! On with the story guys.
In this story Naruto is 14 and this is when he gets back from his fight with Haku, Haku lives! However, Haku flees and only Naruto knows.
Two weeks after the wave mission
Naruto started to get hot, even with the cool weather Konoha was having he was stripping was swimming in the cerulean pool under the rushing the heat persisted.
Naruto felt the glare of the sun beating down from behind the bright lit clouds on his raw skin. The inconstant cool soothing whispers of the wind caressed his back.A smile forced its way through his tired heated face when he saw the cerulean pool of water before him. He was entranced at the beauty of the crystals leap frogging on the surface of the lake, only being dissipated by the roaring waterfall spewing the refreshing water into the lake.
"Ahhh!I can't take this!"He moaned in agony and jumped into the pool killing the serenity of the lake. The water soothed his frying skin with its gentle embrace, it was so nice. He started to swim underneath the waters fall, enduring the galloons of waters falling on his raw shoulders breathing out a heavy sigh.
The smooth rocks dug soothingly into his knotted back. He never thought the stress of that A/S class mission would tense him up like this,as he left the sanctuary of the waterfall a violent flash of heat hit him. Ahh-Gahh " his stomach cramped and his toes clenched, a grimaced smeared his face he took on water He could feel it filling in his lungs and he was )going beneath the swooshing of waves made by the sudden fierce screams of the wind just as things began to get dark he heard deep husky laughter.
"Drip,drip" It sounded as if someone had the tap not closed properly, by the time the third drip came the eerie sound was interrupted by the Blonde gennin sudden gasp for he was still alive he shook the water from his saturated head and clothes when he noticed he was dressed again and in a sewer."How did I get here?" He asked to himself.
"Come here gaki and I'll tell you! A voice boomed and bounced off the walls of the sewer.
The same as that demonic creepy laugh before he thought dully, following the voice to a cell at least 50 stories high and about 30/40 wide."Woah" He let out impressed.
"Took you long enough" the gruff voice echoed
"Who's there? Show yourself!" he was scared,but tried to sound brave even though,the strange voice sent chills to the very core of his being.
"Up here Gaki!" The deep voice commanded
Slowly he raised his head to the pair of bleeding red slit eyes, it looked like one of those scary monsters he heard of from the playground.
Ahh monster! He thought scared, his body began to quake under pure and utter fear of this monster infront of him.
G-g-ggrrowwl…"don't group me up with those imbeciles" It roared in rage.
The Kyuubi revealed itself from the shadows of its cage. It looked just as menacing and terrible as Naruto heard from the stories.
"K-KKYYUUBI!" He squealed out in fear.
" yes,kit" pompous pride burned in those red eyes
"But you're dead, the Yodaime killed you!"Naruto pointed to the enormous fox.
"No human can kill me,not even his cage could hold me indefinitely" He announced almost bragging.
"What do you mean? You giant fur ball?" He was surprised at the bravery he showed at this monster before him.
"This entire place is in your mindscape and my prison". The demon's voice was low and controlled but the venom was there, the Kyuubi did not like his situation at all.
"You're lying" Naruto accused, monsters tend to lie and he wasn't going to listen to this one.
"Do you have a better situation for this?" The Kyuubi contradicted
"I-I'm d-dreaming", his eyes beamed in hope "ya that's it this is all why I'm clothed and I'm about to wake up! Back in the water, wait…the water I'm drowning, or I've already drowned and this is hell!"Naruto started running around in circles "this is not fair I was a good guy, good guy I tell ya, and I hadn't even made Hokage yet!".
"Enough!"A giant paw swiped out just passed his head thanks to him ducking.
"You're not dead brat! you're here because thanks to that little spat you had, my chakra has been freed enough to start turning you."
"Into what? The knuckle head ninja could swear he saw a gruesome smile on the Kyuubi's muzzle, flashing his fangs/teeth.
"Ku ku" he laughed,"A hanyou"
"What's that?" The blonde paled not knowing what was going to happen to him.
"A half demon dobe" The Kyuubi replied in annoyance
"I'm not dead last you giant over-sized fuzzball" Naruto screamed in frustration
"Shut up, kid" he sighed frustrated with this tiny human boy.
"Say that again dust bunny!" Naruto antagonized.
The room crushed under the Kyuubi's chakra, the red chakra wrapped its self around him. His breathing became hard and it was getting increasingly difficult for Naruto to get any useable air into his lungs the Kyuubi grinned.
"You'll regret that brat." there was hidden joy behind those words
Naruto was thrown from the sewer that same maniacal laughter barking after him.
He gasped swallowing up water, he's eyes bugged and he swam up rapidly, this time only sweet, fresh air entered his lungs. He looked up at the sky a warm feeling gripping his stomach like a tight fist. Something bad was happening.
That night Naruto crawled into bed curling up like a cat. He fell asleep mewing softly
