The Fox Prince

Sorry for the wait. This is a week later from the last story. I don't own Naruto.

Hinata sat in the pool, a near full moon reflected on the water. On the rock behind her sat Kyuubi, watching her silently.

"So," Hinata asked, "you never told me about yourself." Kyuubi looked down at her, and started to tear up.

"What do you mean," Kyuubi asked. "I have heard of mystic foxes," Hinata said, "but as kind, or as small, as you."

Ignoring the small comment, Kyuubi looked at her and said, "That is because I'm half human." Hinata looked at him.

"Half human," she asked. Kyuubi looked at her with a sad face.

"My mother was a powerful nine tailed fox spirit," Kyuubi said, "but despite all her power, even she was not immune to the power of love."

"She fell in love with a powerful king. Not wishing to live without him, she took the form of a human. And, unlike me, this transformation was permanent."

"But she didn't care. Weeks later, they were happily married. They had a happy life, despite many differences between their two races."

Kyuubi looked down sadly. "But then I was born," he said, "My father was so happy when he learned that he was going to have a son."

"But I was born, it was in my fox form. So when he learned about what my mother really was, he left her. Without his love, my mother didn't have the strength to live."

Kyuubi started to cry. "If it wasn't for me," he said tearfully, "she would still be alive." Hinata stood up, walked over, and hugged Kyuubi.

"What are you doing," he asked. Even though he was glad for the comfort, Kyuubi was still a pre-teen.

"It's not your fault," Hinata said, tears in her eyes, "something like that would never be your fault." Kyuubi and Hinata sat there, crying well in to the night.

Tell me if I should continue.
