Doves and Foxes

Chapter One – Not A Morning Person

Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto. So sorry.
Summery: At twenty-one Hinata finds a yellow fox who is hurt. She cares for it until it is healed, but it won't go back to the wild. Unknown to her, this little yellow fox has a secret hidden under it's fur.
Let's answer some questions, first.
Nightreader: I her like too. I just decided to make her a happy drunk.
Absolute-Anime-Otaku: I didn't base they're drunk speech off of Jack Sparrow. I guess it is similar, though.

Alright, now the actual story.

A fist rammed onto the top button of an alarm clock, but missing it. It kept banging the alarm clock until it finally hit the button, "Stupid mornings." a woman grumbled. She shoved her head under the pillow. Hours later, she pulled her mop of long blue hair out from under it. She rubbed sleep from her eyes and stretched her arms high above her head. She slowly turned to look at her alarm clock and slowly began to freak out. Nine o'clock!

She jumped out of bed, grabbing her watching off the bedside table and slapping it on her left wrist before wrenching her clothes from the closet and putting them on hastily. For some reason, she couldn't get her head through the shirt, so she made for the door of her bedroom. She entered the living/dinning room, still tugging at at her shirt. When she actually got her head through it, she tripped over her feet and flipped over onto the sofa.

"Ooh!" she grunted, realizing what had just happened. She rolled off the sofa and looked over at the fridge, completely ignoring the clock on the wall read six o'clock.

"No time to eat! Gotta get to work!" she shrugged into her jacket and slipped on her shoes. The blue-haired woman ran out of the apartment and across the street, dodging the few cars that were on the road.

She noticed how the sun was still rising, so she looked down at her watch and almost fainted. It was still only six in the morning! She sighed, turned to cross the street but she heard a whimper of some kind of animal.

The blue haired woman looked back at the bushes in the park. She heard the sound again and quickly started to search the bushes.

"Oh! Poor thing, it's hurt!" she slowly picked up the yellow fox that was covered with blood, not noticing a couple of cops over in the park, arresting some man and investigating bloody clothing.

"I know! I'll bring you home and heal you!" she hugged the animal to her and ran across the street, back into her apartment.

Naruto was laying on something soft, there was a blur of two voices around him. He snorted, not opening his eyes. Shikamaru, Couji, and Kiba must of snuck into his apartment again to watch the television. He opened his eyes slowly, about to yell at them, but he realized something. He wasn't in his bed, but instead, resting on a pillow on a sofa. This also wasn't his apartment. It was too clean. And if it was his apartment, when did a chick move in? He blinked blue eyes at the woman who was sitting at the table, staring at a television, and then realization struck him.

He yelped, getting up and running around the sofa, off it, and into the corner of the room. So it wasn't just some crazy dream! He had actually become a fox! Naruto yowled and hit his forehead on the carpeted floor.

The woman was not unaware of his sudden outburst.

She stood from the chair and walked over to him. She squatted and smiled, "Hello little fox! My name is Hinata. I hope your feeling better! What should I call you?"

Naruto stared up at this woman for a long time before she finally decided on one, "Kiiro, because you're yellow! Is that alright?"

When Naruto tried to speak, nothing came out of his mouth. He nodded his head instead.

Hinata cocked her head, "I've never seen a fox behave like you before." she reached toward him.

Naruto's skin got hot. What was she doing?

The woman picked him up while she stood and carried him over to the table. She sat him on it and started to unwind the bandages around his torso, "Well, at least the bleeding has stopped. I'm not releasing you into the wild yet, though. It'll take a while for it to scare up."

Naruto blinked at her before he looked at his 'would be' chest. The fur around his cuts were completely gone. It was gross looking.

He suddenly got engrossed in the television. It was the news, and they were talking about him.

"Earlier today, police were called to the city park because of suspected murder of Uzumaki Naruto. Two men found on the scene of the crime were tested and they were both drunk at the time, one admits cutting Uzumaki-san across the chest, but not stabbing him. Uzumaki-san's two friends who were with him earlier that night did not have a clue why Uzumaki-san had stopped by the park.

"Uzumaki-san's clothes were found but his body has yet to have been seen. Neither of the men found at the scene do not know what had happened to Uzumaki."

Naruto stared agape. No way! He wasn't dead!

"I think he was the man that Sakura-chan wanted to hook me up with." Hinata sighed, tapping her fingernails on the table.

Sakura?Naruto looked around at Hinata, curiously.

She giggled and got up from the seat, "Well, I've got to go to work, Kiiro! You've got food by the sofa. And I'll leave the television on for you," Hinata got up and walked over to the door, putting on her jacket and shoes, "Be a good boy, alright?"

Naruto just stared at her. She was so kind. Why would she care about a bloody animal like him? Most people would over look the hurt and weak. Not this woman, though. Why? He watched her leave the apartment and he slowly turned his gaze to the television again, but he didn't really watch it.

Yeah! Hinata showed up! She's not a morning person in this fic! But apparently she needs to fix her alarm clock.
