Word count: 5,954
Yugito's hand instinctively went to her chest where she felt she felt the warm blood run down freely, she had just been slashed. She wasn't worried about the slash very much because she knew that she could heal, and she was starting to have better healing properties now. She could already start to feel her body start to pull itself together as she looked at the two of them waiting for their next move.
She felt her skin tingle with fear when she saw Naruto's eyes which weren't their usual beautiful green or red like the Kyuubi's. His eyes right now were dark brown and she could easily see his canine teeth that were sharp and pointy. His teeth were a trademark for the Kyuubi as well as the red eyes. What she didn't understand though is why Naruto's eyes were not red like they usually were when he started to change. As she stared at him longer she heard a loud growl escape his lips before he took off in a quick flash for Hu.
In one quick motion Hu was on his back with a kunai pointing at his heart in a defeat. "I will kill you if you ever hurt Yugito again is that clear Hu. You will not live to regret a mistake like that" Naruto almost yelled in frustration. Naruto spun the kunai into his side pocket before he turned back toward Yugito who was still in complete shock. He figured that she never really thought of that happening to her especially by someone who she thought was a friend.
Yugito POV
I could feel blood, and it was warm as it continued to drain from my chest. My wound was starting to heal but it hurt like a bitch. As I looked around again for an answer Naruto was still staring at me. I wished so much that I could say my Naruto but I knew our relationship was different than that, whatever it was. I tried to suck in another breath as Naruto picked me up again placing me near a tree.
Hu had already disappeared by then and it was the first time I had noticed how gentle Naruto was being around me. He really did care for me just like the Kyuubi had told me. He had said that his host cared for me more than he let on. Naruto was fighting to save my life because that is what mattered to him
"When I saw Hu go for you Naruto I forced one thought into the Nibi's mind, protecting you" I said to him softly. My truthfulness must have thrown him off a little bit because he took another step back from me to settle on my features. I wasn't really sure what he was looking for but I wasn't sure he found it. I had a weird bubbly kind of feeling dance across my insides though. I was about to dismiss the thought but I started to realize the bubbly feeling was because of Naruto. I knew it wasn't humanly possibly we had built a connection so fast, but then again I was human any longer.
The moment the beasts became introduced into our system we stopped being normal human beings and became Jinchuuriki, a mix between beast and human. For a moment I felt ashamed that a mix of beast and human is what I became, until my brain finally caught up. I would have never met Naruto if I wasn't a tailed beast human hybrid, and I think I would have just been another human that he could ignore. I really started to feel like it was the beasts inside that were pushing us even more than anything else.
"Thank you" Naruto said surprising me from my own thoughts. I had to shake my head for a moment so I could get my mind back to reality and what was really going on. "I never really wanted you to have to deal with the pain of becoming a mix or a hybrid of sorts. The Nibi I guess has different plans for you though. When she wants power she gets power. I can't help but feel a little guilty though. Everything that you're going through right now is because of me. You don't trust your grandfather because of me. You are becoming a hybrid because of me" he said. Damn he was feeling bad about what was happening to me, this wasn't a good sign. He started to walk away slightly and I grabbed his hand pulling him back toward me.
"Naruto you don't have to feel bad about what is happening to me. If the Nibi is doing this because she wants power but it lets us get to know each other better, than who am I to stand in the way of destiny? I told you my mother thought that I was meant for something and someone special."
"What an abomination" he asked quietly. I shook my head to try to get him to understand before I even decided to speak up. I wasn't really sure if I could get my voice to work at the moment, but I did.
"My mother left a letter saying that I was meant for something and someone special and I couldn't be lost to the world yet because I was important."
'And you somehow think that someone special is me' I heard go through my head. I had heard it in Naruto's voice but he hadn't moved his lips. How in the hell was that even possible. I tried to piece my thoughts together but they didn't want to listen. I just couldn't grasp that his voice was in my head. How in the world could that even happen?
'Did you speak in my mind Naruto' I asked in my head, even though I felt like I already knew the answer to that question. He didn't answer me like I thought he would but I felt a weird sense of calmness flow through me.
'Yes I did speak in your mind' Naruto answered slowly. His thoughts were still running through my head but it was hard to differentiate the two of them. My thoughts and what he was saying almost felt like it was one thing. I was having a hard time controlling my own thoughts when he was around but now he could get in my head whenever he wanted how was that fair.
Again what started to go through my mind was that we would not be in the situation we were in if it wasn't the two beasts inside us pushing for this. I am not complaining though, I am happy about what has happened. Hu tried to slash Naruto and I jumped in the way to protect him and that was where I was now. Why had I really done that? Was I protecting my property or was the Nibi still toying with my mind.
'You pushed your thoughts into the Nibi Yugito and you tried to protect me. I am a little surprised that you can hear my thoughts though because the Kyuubi had said I was not capable of reading people's thoughts' Naruto said in my mind. I wanted to laugh but I knew at that moment he was being serious. My mind started to wander to memories that Naruto and I shared; I could hear him ask the Kyuubi for help with trying to know me better. It was now making sense that is how we got where we are now, the Kyuubi.
'Maybe the Kyuubi didn't really know what to expect from having you and me as mix or hybrid like. The Kyuubi has never had someone else like you around him and the Nibi has never been like you Naruto' I thought. I was really trying to focus my thoughts but I was so confused right now it was hard to even think correctly. I also knew Naruto could feel what else I really was thinking about.
Naruto POV
Girls are hard to describe in one word and especially this girl in front of me. Every time I read her mind through this special whatever connection we have I learn something else about her. She's intrigued me just as much as am by her. I have had my emotions closed off for so long ever since I lost Seiji to Karm in that battle. I remember not speaking for so long but with the Kyuubi I didn't have to speak, he understood me.
He felt that anger flowing through me and it strengthened our connection. The Kyuubi and I had a very simple connection that I didn't have to think about. He gave me power, and he and I both got revenge. That was how our arrangement worked.
I may have just met her today but I feel connected to her for whatever reason that is. I tried to slow my mind down so I could even try to distinguish what I was thinking but I could feel Yugito already in my mind reading my thoughts. There had to be away for us to block each other out without asking for permission. I felt the Kyuubi in me smile a corrupt and wicked smile which made me start to smile. I knew from our very own bond that we were having the same thoughts.
In a flash of red that almost looked like a blur the Kyuubi was standing in the way between my mind and Yugito's. I couldn't keep letting her read my mind so openly and I wouldn't read hers. I tried just for kicks though and felt the Nibi in front guarding her mind. We both had the same Idea it seemed and it made a smirk appear on my lips. "We think a lot alike Yugito" I said trying to entice her. It worked because her eyes lit up to a different shade of purple than I have seen before. This was her eyes sparkling and she was being the playful cat Yugito.
I was about to toss her and throw her to the ground but she flashed away in a streak of purple. As I reached out to grab the fading color I jerked back suddenly when I felt my hand beginning to sting. 'Damn that hurt' I thought before I felt a presence behind me. I almost had to laugh because our roles were reversed this time. Last time we had this situation I was the one with the upper hand. I wanted to start to laugh but I felt her slip her slender lithe arms around my waist, making her way to my chest. I let out a low growl that I was suppressing and she purred in my ear in response. That had been just the reaction she was looking for.
As I moved to try to grab her waist she jumped landing far on my back almost taking me to the ground. She was laughing and honestly at the moment it was kind of hard not to. Both of us were like little kids just playing and wrestling, and I was having fun. I didn't feel ashamed for getting into wrestling with a girl this was Yugito Nii the Nibi container anyway.
I made a quick movement that I thought caught her off guard but she was ready. She used her lithe slender sexy body against me and she turned in my grip making me land flat on my back. As I tried to get up she crouched in front of me pinning both of my arms to the ground. This was definitely getting animalistic and I loved every second of this. If she wanted to play rough like this then that is what we were going to do. My wrists that were still pinned to the ground felt like they weighed a million pounds each under her crushing weight. She was so light but when she wanted she could be rough, and I would never doubt it again.
I tried to move my wrists but her nails dug deep into my skin making small amounts of blood run down them. I wanted to be slightly nervous because this was a different Yugito than I was used to but I couldn't stop grinning. I was having fun and I could finally be myself. As Yugito went to tighten her grip on my hands I sped away in my usual red lightning. This time it was me who was behind her before I grabbed her waist. With a flick of my wrist and a little speed I brought her to the ground on her back where I quickly leapt over her leaving our faces mere inches apart.
I felt my body just connect with hers as our lips met for the first time. I wasn't sure how we had gone from wrestling to kissing but I couldn't complain too much could I. I couldn't avoid her purplish eyes smirking at me. I could tell I made her a little nervous when I brought my kiss to her neck, and then to her shoulder. They were both soft until I lightly bit down on her shoulder. My darker side that she didn't know about yet was tired of being restrained and it was time she started to learn about it. I could feel my eyes change from their usual green to the dark brown color that came with my darker aspects.
My little bite to her shoulder made her shiver in excitement and I could feel her arousal like it was her sweat running off her body. When I realized I had bitten her hard enough to break her skin I put my lips softly over the bite kissing it as softly as possible. I hadn't bit her to be mean but I think she knew that already. After I slowly pulled away from her shoulder my hands found her cheek where I slowly traced down the lines of her face. She was still in the mood so I heard her purr in happiness. When I pulled away again though she stopped and looked at my eyes but didn't panic like I thought she would. Her hands found my face around my eyes and she traced my face with her hands. I wasn't really sure what that was going to accomplish but I definitely wasn't going to bug her at the moment.
I had realized just then how good her contact with me felt. The slightest touch awakened senses that I thought were long gone but then again everything she did surprised me. "Why are your eyes so dark Naruto, why did you do that just now" I heard Yugito ask. It took me a minute to realize she had even asked me a question because I was so into her soft touch. When I felt her stop her left hand right at my temple I realized I still hadn't answered her question about my eyes changing to the dark brown.
"My eyes changed because it is what you would call the hybrid like state. My green eyes are mine, the red with black slits are obviously the Kyuubi, but the dark brown are a mix between both. I am in full control because it is my conscious but the brown eyes only come with being a mix" I said truthfully. I wasn't going to lie to her and she needed to know that someday her eyes were going to change as well; I just had no idea when they were going to.
"Your eyes are so beautiful and so full of emotion Naruto." I felt her kiss my temple before she pulled my body into hers making me smother myself on top of her. I stopped though when I realized, again with that word, that this wasn't playful anymore. Even if the Kyuubi and the Nibi were not controlling us they still were getting exactly what they wanted, for us to be together in their or rather her twisted reality. Problem was though; I was having a hard time figuring out what was reality and what was my imagination. "What's wrong" her soft voice asked me.
I could hear her so delectable voice in my ear. The tone in which she spoke was also hard to pull away from. I had a really hard time listening to my own consciousness to do what I thought. "Don't you think that this interaction is exactly what the Kyuubi and the Nibi want? The Nibi has done nothing to help you since you have learned about her. Don't you think this could easily be some animalistic cat thing to fate a mate? Look please don't take this the wrong way Yugito, your beautiful but hasn't this just gone past curiosity and fun" I could hear my voice start to crack only slightly. This was so painful for me to say and I could see it in her beautiful eyes it was hard to hear as well. I felt myself pull back again just slightly but she quickly pulled my shirt back toward her.
"You want this Naruto I can hear it in your thoughts. I know your scared but stop coming up with excuses why this can't work." she said. My heart was nearly beating out of my chest at that moment. It is completely ridiculous that I feel that way about her so quick but I can't help it, it is what she does.
Normal POV
Naruto sped away in red lightning, even though it was fairly obvious that he didn't really want to. Yugito reacted with her own purple blur as she went after Naruto who was gone. She stopped for a moment when she smelled something that was throwing her senses way out of whack. She still had to get used to her new senses that she got from this mix form. She also hated that Naruto was scared of being with her. It was obvious to her that he was afraid of her being controlled by the Nibi. As much as she hated to say it, she was worried about it too.
Slowly she took another whiff of the air to get back the smell she just had. She had to almost laugh when she realized who it was. It wasn't funny that he was watching her but more that she hadn't felt his presence before. With her new found purple blur she vanished appearing right behind her unsuspecting victim. She quickly drove her fist into his side successfully making him fall to the ground on his face. With another quick blur she grabbed him by the throat slamming him against the nearest tree. She could feel the anger now that came with the Nibi. She wasn't sure what was going on with her but she figured this may have something to do with what Naruto was worried about.
"How dare you slash at me Hu" Yugito yelled. She tightened her grip on his throat a little more before delivering a powerful blow to his gut. As she hit him his body fell limp to the ground, where he was leaning over gripping his stomach.
"I went after Naruto Uzumaki not you Yugito. You have to understand that. You have known me for years and you know that I would not do anything to hurt you. I care about you more than he does; he has only known you for a day" Hu said slowly trying to get up.
"He understands me Hu and you won't ever be that close to me. He can feel what I feel, think what I think, our bond even though new is strong and I can't deny that any longer." "Naruto Uzumaki is an outsider and will always be one. You can dress Naruto up and put a Kumo hiate on his head but that will not change who he is Yugito, Naruto is not us." The only thing she was feeling was anger. He dared talk so bad about Naruto. She was kind of surprised to say the least about how far she would go for Naruto. Everything about her relationship with Naruto was ridiculous and completely unnatural but she couldn't avoid it any longer. Naruto was part of who she was now. She could feel it in her connection with the Nibi and with the Kyuubi.
Her voice was quiet but firm so Hu could understand how much she meant what she was about to say to him. "Naruto may not be one of us but he is me. Naruto is a part of who I am and I can't change that." What Hu did next was the most surprising thing that Yugito had ever seen. Nothing could mentally prepare her for what Hu was about to do. Slowly he drew the katana off his back and pointed it toward the blonde haired Jinchuuriki.
"If I can't have you Yugito then I will rip the demon from you and that is a promise" he said with obvious venom in his voice. As he raised his sword to strike her, Hu could see Yugito eyes change from their gentle purple to a darker more demonic purple. Hu knew at that moment that he had gotten the demon insides attention, he was about to face the Nibi the two tailed cat demon.
"You dare threaten me Hu. Do you even know who you are dealing with right now" the Nibi said in Yugito voice. Even though it was Yugito's body he knew because of the canine teeth and demonic purple eyes it was not Yugito he was talking to.
"I know you are the one that sets me and Yugito a part. You are the reason she is with Naruto Uzumaki the hybrid reject Nibi. I know exactly who you are and I want my Yugito back. Yugito has always been mine and will always be mine, so give her back you demon" He yelled. The Nibi wasn't going to stand there and listen to him talk on so she did what any animal would have done on instinct, she went after her prey. With a quick blur of purple she launched herself toward Hu who was still trying to hold on to his sword tight. Before she had a chance to strike though, she saw a red flash before she was hit hard against the ground. She rolled a few feet away before she propped back up into a crouch position.
The Nibi's cold unforgiving eyes stared at Naruto's green who tried to watch her patiently. "You dare put yourself in harm's way Kyuubi holder. Has the Kyuubi taught you anything in all the years that you two have been together as one and as a mix" the Nibi said. It was obvious that she was trying to antagonize Naruto but it wasn't working.
"What do you want Nibi do you want revenge. Yugito told me what deal you made with her mother. How dare you snoop so low as to take revenge from a mother? Just because her mother promised you revenge against the person who put you in the pot doesn't mean anything. Nibi if you want to release you're built up anger than fight me but leave everyone else alone. The Kumo village has done nothing to you except shelter you from every other problem of the world" Naruto said now trying to get in her head. The Nibi's eyes brightened before she took off ramming Naruto in the chest. As she hit him full force he tumbled to the ground but vanished again when he noticed the Nibi had already done the same.
Hu who was watching the Nibi and Naruto fight looked around to see if they were going to come back at all but nothing. He looked around for a moment to see if anyone else had seen the brief fight and someone had. Hu's sensei Kenji stood a few feet away. His light brown hair looked gold in the sun that shone through the clouds. As Kenji turned toward Hu he looked around to see if anyone else was watching. "What happened to Yugito Hu" Kenji asked. It was obvious that he was worried but he honestly had no idea what was going on so he was asking.
"The Nibi is in control of Yugito right now and the new team member Naruto is trying to hold her back" Hu said.
"New member since when did we get another one. How does the new member plan on taking the Nibi on anyone? The Nibi has speed and strength and she is devilishly smart." Hu almost had to laugh about how right his sensei Kenji was that Yugito was smart and strong. He had forgotten the most important part though beautiful and dependable.
"Naruto also has a powerful beast inside of him. The two of them have some weird deep connection so they are using that to take down the Nibi." Kenji for a second thought he heard genuine panic in his voice. He was obviously scared about what was happening to Yugito and Naruto.
"The nearest place for them to battle would be the training ground. A big match up like that would need a large area to fight." Hu only nodded his agreement before the both of them took off toward the training ground where they knew the fight of the century would be.

Naruto's green eyes looked at the scenery around him before his eyes shifted back to the cold hearted Nibi in front of him. Her eyes still held the demonic purple color and showed no signs of letting up. "What are you waiting for Nibi a written invitation? You have waited so long to take revenge against who put you in the pot, why are you waiting" Naruto yelled. The Nibi let out a low ferocious growl before she went through a few hand seals. Naruto who was waiting patiently started to crouch preparing for whatever she threw at him.
"Housenka no Jutsu" the Nibi yelled as a series of small fireballs made its way toward him. Reacting quickly Naruto pulled out the katana on his left shoulder to block the fireballs. As his katana connected with the fireball it made a sound that made Naruto take a few quick steps back.
"Shit" he yelled out. He had heard the sound of metal clinging together. The Nibi had hidden something in the fireballs. Her fireballs were weapons encased in fire. Naruto knew now that he had to block and dodge the fireballs, they would be deadly if he was hit with one of them. As he swiftly rolled to the side he unsheathed his second katana knocking another fireball off its course. "How could she have possibly done a few hand seals and then have metal in her fireballs, there is just no way." Naruto's mind was trying to comprehend what was happening but it was difficult to understand.
'NARUTO' he heard someone scream in his head. He knew right away who the voice was, but he didn't understand how.
'Yugito, how are you talking to me right now? The Nibi is in charge of your body so how are you managing to break through.' He had to ask because he needed to know how. Something was happening in her body and it wasn't making any sense.
'Naruto the Nibi is using our bond that we have to weaken the Kyuubi in you. Right now you don't have as much power as you usually do because he is having a hard time helping you. The Nibi is also making your eyes blind to the truth. Everything that you think you see or may not see is not true. The Nibi wanted you to only see the fireballs and so she did. Naruto she is manipulating what you see. You told her that she could take her revenge out on you so she is going all out. I am so sorry Naruto, if anything happens to you. You have no idea how much I am fighting her right now but she is so enraged I am having a hard time even hanging on.
I can feel her anger and hatred flowing through her. I bet this is how you felt when you first became a mix with the Kyuubi. I bet you felt like you were losing control with no way of gaining ground back' Yugito said with obvious sadness in her voice.
"YUGITO" Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs. She was right though he knew exactly what she was going through. He had felt like he was out of control when he was a brand new mix. "Nibi I will stop you at any cost. I will not let you take the lives of innocent people all just for your demented revenge. You won't be able to hurt a single person because I will STOP YOU." Naruto quickly sheathed his katana's away since the fireballs had stopped. He was now about to take the offensive. She had to be ready for him, now he was mad. "Sandaa Saaburu" he yelled. He could feel the lightning in his hand before he flashed toward the Nibi.
Naruto with his lightning encased hand kept charging toward the purple eyed demonic beast but stopped suddenly when he realized she wasn't there. She had done exactly what Yugito had told him she could do. The damn Nibi manipulated his vision to think that she was right there. Right now the Nibi was nowhere in sight. The Nibi had disappeared. Naruto growled a dark growl before his eyes changed to the dark brown color. His canine teeth were still prominent as he looked around for the Nibi. He stopped for a moment when he felt a familiar calmness flow through his being. He knew it was Yugito who was pushing this feeling through his body.
He was smiling to himself but stopped when he noticed the Nibi in front of him staring at him. "Why do you keep toying with my mind Nibi? Is this all you plan to do with your enemies. Nibi what do you want" Naruto growled frustrated. Before Naruto even had a chance to finish his thought he felt an elbow in his chest which sent him flying to the ground. He was about to react and pull his katana's that he had put away on his back but they weren't there. The Nibi laughed when she saw what Naruto was looking for.
"Are these what you are looking for Kyuubi holder" she said holding both of his katana's in her hands. She spun one in each hand and brought them down piercing Naruto in the chest. He let out a scream that would make a window break but it was deafening. The Nibi who still had control of the Katana's twisted the katana's sideways in his chest. He wanted to scream, to yell, to move, to rip the Nibi to shreds but he couldn't even manage to breathe at the moment. The Nibi's face showed a sadistic grin which only intensified her evilness. "Right now Naruto Uzumaki your Destiny is bleak and all I see is your death." The Nibi took a step back admiring her handy work with the Katana's. She would have kept smiling but Naruto wasn't lying on the ground with swords in his chest like he was a second ago. "No how could you have possibly…"
Naruto was the one that was laughing this time. "That was a little trick that you taught me Nibi. Thank you for your lesson but now I shall be the one to teach you. Lesson one…" Naruto's smirk was replaced with a sadistic grin that the Nibi knew all too well. "Don't fuck with my host you two tailed demonic garbage." Naruto's dark brown eyes were now red with black slits down the center. His inside beast had taken over and now the fight would begin.
So I know the last chapter was longer but I figured just before the fight got good was a perfect place to torture you all. (Insert EVIL LAUGH) All chaps will be at least 5k and I hope the next update won't be that long.
