Chapter Two:

Naruto sighs as he trudges through the village. Kyuubi glances back at him in irritation. "Quit pouting!"

Naruto makes giant anime tears fall from his eyes. "B-but my outfit was signature!"

"It was horrendous!" Kyuubi counters in annoyance.

"You're so m-ean!" He quietly cries behind Kyuubi.

Kyuubi scoffs and rolls his eyes. In his opinion, Naruto did look much better this way. Gone were the kill-me-orange pants and black t-shirt with a strange orange swirl. They are replaced by a fishnet long-sleeved shirt, covered with a black sleeveless t-shirt with the red Uzumaki symbol in the middle, a black knit cap, standard black ninja sandals, a black headband with a blank silver plate on the front, and black pants with chains to look menacing attached tightly to them so that they don't rattle. 'He looks more like a ninja now. At least he'll like his leisure outfit.'

Kyuubi smirks as he remembers the second outfit he picked out for his little protégé. For Naruto's leisure outfit, he got him some navy blue or orange t-shirts, black loose-fitting pants, and a little orange fox-eared hat. He could deal with orange when it wasn't for fighting. Fighting in orange will undoubtedly get one killed. Plus, Naruto looked cute in orange, especially when the outfits were a little too large on him.

"Quit whining, you can put on your other outfit when you get home," Kyuubi says, glaring at Naruto.

"But you burned my other outfit!"

"I bought you another," he says in that same deep, sultry voice that he had the night before. Naruto shivers as he looks at Kyuubi's smirk. He didn't really trust that smirk all too much.

'I swear he loves to taunt me with that voice.' "What does the outfit look like?"

"You'll see." That didn't quell his unease.

Naruto runs around the hotel room happily humming a little tune to himself. 'Okay, this outfit isn't so bad. And Kyuu said I get to wear it until we leave to the next town! YES!'

Kyuubi looks up from the book he was reading and smirks as Naruto slips on the carpet and falls face first. "You should be more careful." Naruto pushes himself up with his hands and shakes his head to dispose of his dizziness. He blinks a few times before turning to Kyuubi with a pout.

"The rug just moved!"

"That's a carpet. It can't move."

Naruto blinks before looking down. He glances around the hotel room. It was a carpet! Weird… He sits up and sheepishly scratches his head. "Hehe…guess I should take more interest in my surroundings huh?"

Kyuubi nods and gets back to his book. 'That was…cute…'

Naruto then gets up and stares at Kyuubi before jumping on his bed. "Play with me, Kyuu!"

Kyuubi's eyes widen. 'Oh my god, you do not say that to a demon who has been sex-deprived for over one-hundred years! Naruto, you're too innocent!' Kyuubi glares at Naruto. "Get off my bed." Naruto pouts. 'Damn him…' "You have three seconds to get off my bed before I kick you off."

"But Kyuubi!"

"1…2…"

"I thought you'd want to play with me, Kyuubi. You said that you would!"

Kyuubi frowns and instead of saying 'three' and kicking Naruto off his bed, he says, "I made no such promise."

"Yeah you did! The night before we left! I asked you what you would do if I ended up getting really bored and asked you to play with me. You shivered and said, and I quote, 'Oh yeah, I'll definitely play with you.'"

Kyuubi blinks. 'Oh yeah…I had said that. That was only because you said it that way, Naruto! God…' Kyuubi sighs and puts his book away. He eyes Naruto up and down. 'He's probably still too young to be thinking something anywhere along the lines as to what I am…DAMN!' "What do you want to play, Naruto?"

Naruto blinks and looks up at the ceiling. "Um…" before he can answer, there's a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" Naruto shouts and runs up to the door. When he gets there, he opens the door and looks up at the strange man standing in front of him. "Hello?"

"Sssssssssssalutationsssssss…" is the slithery reply from the door.

'No…it couldn't be…' Kyuubi gets up and throws his book on the bed. He runs up behind Naruto and his eyes widen. 'No…I have to get Naruto out of here!' Kyuubi protectively wraps his arm around Naruto and slams the door shut. "We need to leave, NOW!"

Naruto pouts at Kyuubi. "But you said we would be staying here a few days! Now I won't be able to wear this!"

"Just wear it, we need to leave!" Apparently, Naruto hadn't seen the urgency in Kyuubi's voice earlier, be now he had though. Naruto blinks before nodding in confusion and gathering his stuff. Kyuubi leaves some money on the table with the key and opens the window. Naruto doesn't ask questions as Kyuubi grabs his things and ushers Naruto outside. Once Kyuubi exits the room, he closes the window tightly. "Let's go!"

After a few hours of running through the forest nonstop, Naruto glances at Kyuubi and asks, "Ne, Kyuubi, who was that man?"

"Someone who you are to never trust…"

Naruto frowns. 'Well that didn't tell me anything.' "Okay I won't trust him, but who was he?"

Kyuubi glances at Naruto before sighing and saying, "His name is Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sanin. I don't know what the hell he wants with you, but there's no way I'm letting him lay a hand on you without a fight!" Kyuubi growls lowly and his piercing red eyes become overcome with bloodlust. "That man betrayed Konoha and tried to attack it, and above all, he's in league with the man who destroyed my life, the man that forced me to attack Konoha! I'll never let men like them live."

"If you hate him so much, why didn't you kill him then?" Naruto asks innocently.

Kyuubi glances at him, "Because they would be able to track us that way. The scent of blood doesn't come off too easily, you know. They'd get a nin-dog or an Inuzuka and they'd have us pinpointed in a matter of hours." Kyuubi slows to a stop and looks around. "I guess this is a good place to start."

Naruto tilts his head slightly. "Start what, Kyuubi?"

Kyuubi gives him a feral grin. "Your training, of course!"

And~ DONE!

I AM DOING A TIME SKIP BETWEEN THIS CHAPTER AND THE NEXT! I REPEAT, I AM DOING A TIME SKIP BETWEEN THIS CHAPTER AND THE NEXT!

There aren't going to be many of those. Also, I'll be putting whatever's in the time skips in flashbacks, not too many, of course!
