Ch. 1: Meeting with the Kyuubi

"Uhh…" Hikari stirred from a long slumber. Realizing she was supposedly dead, she bolted. What? I know for a fact I'm dead. No one can survive a chidori to the heart! No, I am dead. I felt the cold of death. I felt incomparable pain then nothing. I saw a bright light. What is going on? Thought Hikari. She looked around the room. It was her aparment. She was lying down in her bed. There was ramen cups spilled over the table and clothes covering every inch on her floor. However, as she saw her hands, she screamed.

WHAT ON EARTH?! I'M SIXTEEN, NOT TWELVE!! Hikari was panicked. Her hands were smaller and she looked chubbier. Suddenly, she felt dazed and was knocked unconscious. She woke up in a matter of seconds to find herself in that oh too familiar sewer called her mind. She walked until she found a large gate and an overgrown red fox behind it. Hikari crossed her arms and tapped her foot, "You just won't let me die will you? I know it was you. You stubborn fat rabbit, when will you learn to give up?!"

"Hello to you to brat. So when were you planning to tell me you're a vixen? Or the fact that the cursed yondaime is your father? Or that you are indeed not stupid? Or-" said the Kyuubi before he was cut off.

"Save it. What did you do? Why do I look like I'm twelve? Where am I? What happened to Sasuke?" demanded the blonde girl.

The Kyuubi smirked, "I take the last part back. You are still that snotty idiot. To think you have the potential to be a genius yet you are so oblivious. I sent us back in time using the most power I still had left. You are twelve and currently at home in Konoha. As for the Uchiha, well, I'll save that for another time."

Hikari growled, "TELL ME WHERE SASUKE IS!"

The Kyuubi's grin grew as he was pushing her buttons, "Heh. Well, right now, he is probably getting ready for Konoha academy to know what team he is assigned. But what really bugs me is why aren't you a boy again? Is the sealed genjutsu gone for good? Not that I mind…"

Hikari's vein popped. This fox has changed in the last sixteen years. From a murderous beast to a perverted dumbass hitting on his vessel. "But wait, how does the time travel justu work? Do tell, ero-fox." The Kyuubi frowned. On the other hand, Hikari grinned while showing her canines. Sure, Kyuubi knew how to push buttons, but Hikari knew how to push them back just as hard.

Kyuubi shook his head, "Simple really. Mostly it's just chakra consuming leaving me weak for the next few years. Basically, as time moves backwards, so do our souls. Your body may have expired, but your soul wouldn't leave without me, and frankly, I didn't want to die when there was still hope. So here we are, four years back in time. Your body is weaker however your chakra control, reserves, and knowledge remain intact. You won't heal as fast because the justu took a toll on me. On the bright side, all damage you took in the future is non existent to your body. On the down side, your mentality is hit pretty hard. The only thing I can do to help you is maintain a mental link so you won't have to faint every time you talk to me. In other words, your thoughts are heard all the time as well as my voice every time I speak. It won't matter; you never could hide much from me. For a while, when you were Naruto, I thought you were gay! The fact that you're a girl proves me wrong however…"

Hikari sat patiently on the wet floor. When he finished she realized what was going on, "So, that explains why I'm a girl. My sixteen year old body turned younger. The seal was broken four years from now, and it wasn't fixed. Seals aren't effected by age unless designed to. Thing is… I'm glad I'm not gay. For a while, I was pretty sure I was…"

"What do you mean?"

"Well…"

FLASHBACK

"Tsunade-baa-chan, you wanted to see me?" asked Naruto as he walked through the doors. Tsunade sighed, "Yes, but before that, Happy 16th Birthday Naruto!" Naruto sheepishly grinned and rubbed the back of his neck. "Anyways, Sandaime left me this box to give you on your sixteenth birthday. He said it was a blood seal and only you can open it," said Tsunade as she handed him an old looking box.

Naruto blinked before biting his thumb and smearing the lock. Immediately, the box opened and inside laid an old yellow scroll. On the top were the words written, Hikari Uzumaki Kazama. Naruto was confused yet proceeded to open the scroll. He started reading:

October 10,

My dearest daughter,

You are sixteen! Congradulations! If you are reading this, then I'm dead. I'm writing this letter to you because Konoha's hero, you, deserves to know she is a treasure to me and your mother. I hoped my children would never be orphans like me, I see what a success that is. You are my first born and my only child. I hope you were treated with the respect you deserved for becoming the vessel of the Kyuubi no Yoko. It was my last wish that you were treated as a hero for harnessing such a burden. I wanted to see you be raised and teach you ninja techniques. That however ended as impossible. Do not fret. I'm a good father, foolish but still good, who left you everything I own when you come of age. Simply smear your blood at the end of this letter to receive your claim of techniques, money, and property. Please don't think I'm so horrible. Your mother, Akio Uzumaki, was in labor the day the Kyuubi attacked. No one except the Sandaime knows of my little marriage for I have many enemies. I loved your mother with all my heart and was in tears when she died of child birth. I don't blame you or anyone else. I realize nothing would lessen the pain until it passes on its own. I don't think the pain will ever go anyway considering I died the same day. I sealed the Kyuubi in you so that you would still have a home and Konoha, the village I love, would be safe. Be forgive me, I couldn't live with the burden of using another child, not that there was another newborn within range. Grow up stronger than your old man, become the best shinobi out there, and if you want become the greatest Hokage ever!

Love you always,

Your father,

Arashi Kazama

PS. EAT RAMEN!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR MOTHER SAYS! IT'S GOOD!

PPS. If you are wondering why I'm calling you my daughter, it's because you're really a girl. I put you under a powerful genjustu seal to prevent any abuse to you (males tend to get hurt less…in more sane methods…) The seal will break at eighteen when you are more stronger and can handle a lot…it would also break for the same reason any other seal would break, death, however, THAT IS NOT AN OPTION!!! Got that? Good! From now on, you're not Naruto Uzumaki, you're Hikari Uzumaki Kazama! Ask the Sandaime for any help, considering he is the only other one that knows.

"…" Naruto was shaking. His thoughts lingered from his sexy no jutsu being a flashy preview to his father being the yondaime to him feeling relieved. He was indeed not gay. Nor was he girly or too feminine for his gender. But soon shock hit him again. Under anger and confusion, Naruto dropped the scroll and ran off in a flash. He heard yelling behind him and felt pursers on his trail. He didn't care. He needed to find Sasuke. He needed to find him fast before Sasuke does something he regrets. Unknown to the blonde, he was being rash and running to death, while his pursuers were thrown off trail and wouldn't find him till a strong chakra pulse was felt, by then he was dead.

END OF FLASHBACK

Kyuubi's face faltered. So that is what happened. That Yondaime is truly a clever baka. Much like his daughter. Yes, he, along with Hikari, are excuses to the rule of foolish mortals. Thought Kyuubi. He looked down upon the girl. He had to make up a plan with her and help her by all means. If he was trapped in this body, then he would help make it better. "Hikari, I will help because I realize I'm stuck with you and I don't want to make it worse. I will train you in your mind while you sleep, as a result, your body will be full of energy, but you'll seem tired and yawn a lot. I'll give you demonic jutsus and allow you to sign the fox contract since you don't have the toad one yet. I won't be much help so don't rely on me. The time travel jutsu worn me out and I will sleep most of the time but you can wake me up if needed."

Hikari was shocked. The demon that haunted her dreams is helping her? "What will happen once I accept the training?" she asked warily. "Simple. You become hanyou. As well as the heir of the nine tailed fox. This progress however is slow and won't complete until you reach the age of sixteen. You eventually will grow nine tails and fox ears replacing your human ones. They can be hidden by genjustu and at times will be useful. You will heal fairly fast and of course have a fox form, and a demon form. Your children will inherit everything and if not better. I'm sure Sasuke won't mind having a foxy vixen and fluffly kits… hehe!" laughed Kyuubi, once again pressing buttons. Yes, the fox was affected by Hikari, no longer the serious demon, but a soft pervert, much like all Konoha men.

Hikari turned red and shouted, "HENTAI!" She then smirked, "Does that mean you, the great demon, are a fuzzy chibi?" Kyuubi cursed thinking he should not argue with females. "Anyways the deal is good. I don't mind being part demon. It might be useful and who knows what techniques or even blood limits I could create?! Though, doesn't that mean I have some of your blood, meaning you're my father of sort?"

The Kyuubi grinned, "Why yes it does, kit. The transformation has started. You'll slowly notice the changes and I'll remind you so no surprises pop up. Now, about the little fact that you have future knowledge. May I suggest we visit the Sandaime?" Hikari nodded.

When Hikari regained consciousness, she dashed into the shower to change. She came out wearing the ridiculous jumpsuit and her hair in two pigtails. They were tied with two blue ribbons and her ninja protector was tied around her forehead. She was about to walk out the door when she heard a voice in her head, "BAKA! Use genjustu to change into Naruto! Villagers don't need to see a stranger wandering about Konoha." Hikari sheepishly grinned and performed the transformation justu.

Villagers saw that Naruto Uzumaki was up and running again. They shrugged thinking were on earth the demon brat would be running off to.

This time we'll make a difference, kit. This time I'll repent for my foolish old self all those years ago.
