Here is the second chapter of the fairy tale. They finally met each other..
For the person who asked me who Kuruma is yes he is an original Naruto character he is the nine tailed fox that's his name.
Am I dead? No I can feel my heartbeat. Where am I? I opened my eyes and saw a dirty looking cave that was lit up. A figure started to walk in the cave and I backed away from it.
"Don't worry I won't hurt you." The figure said not coming into the light.
"Who are you? Did you save me earlier?" I asked.
"Who I am is not important. Yes, I did save you earlier young Prince." The figure said.
Wait… he knows I am a prince.
"How do you know – "I was saying but was cut off.
"How do I know you're a prince because I heard the man call you a prince." The man said.
"Oh," I said looking down to where I was stabbed and noticed nothing was there not even my shirt. "Umm, can you tell me what happened to my shirt? And I was stabbed where did the mark go?" I asked.
The figure didn't respond just walked out the cave with a sigh. Why did it seem like he was irritated by me?
"Don't mind Naruto he's just fussy when he gets woken by humans." I heard a gentle voice say.
I looked around to find the voice and it was a little fox talking to me.
"AHHHHHHH!" I screamed. Are you fucking kidding me? A fox is talking to me.
"Do you mind not screaming it hurts my ears?" The little fox said.
I was still in a state of shock.
"It's okay, you're not going crazy it's just you're in the mystical forest with demon blood in you. That's why you can hear us right now." The little fox said.
"What do you mean I have demon blood in me? How do I have demon blood in me?" I asked completely freaking out.
"Well when Naruto saved you from bleeding out he gave you some of his blood and it healed you. But you were sleeping for two days. But when the blood is out your system you won't be able to hear us animals anymore." The little fox said.
Wait… this little fox is telling me a demon saved me.
"Hold the hell on, your telling me a demon saved me?" I asked.
"Yup, Naruto saved you. My name is Chibi by the way." The fox named Chibi said.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"Naruto?" Chibi asked. I nodded. "More than likely hunting. When he gets back don't be scared of his true form. Well technically he has many forms – "Chibi the fox was cut off.
"Chibi, shut your mouth." A big fox the size of a great Dane dog said walking in the cave.
"Naru – "Chibi was once again cut off but by a glare this time.
"Well since she told you who I am I am Naruto the demon fox for this forest." The fox named Naruto said.
I was in such shock that I couldn't close my mouth.
"Would it make you more comfortable in my human form?" Naruto asked.
Mind you Naruto was a beautiful fox, he was red, black, white, orange, and gold. The gold was by his ears, the tip of his tail and his paws. His stomach was orange and white. His back had one black stripe from the tip of his nose to the part where he had white on his tail, the rest of him was red. He was an extremely beautiful fox. The only thing that kept making me look twice was that his eyes were blood red, which freaked me out and his sharp fangs.
I nodded my head to him changing to his human form. When he changed to his human form I was even more shocked by his beauty. Naruto's hair was golden blonde, he has beautiful tan skin like he went sunbathing, and he was way taller than me by like one foot.
"Well now that I am in my human form right now, I am Naruto." Naruto said holding his hand out for me to shake I took it immediately. "So, the guy who attacked you, you knew him?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, how did you know?" I answered honestly. "My name is Prince Sasuke Uchiha, but I guess that doesn't mean much here, does it?" I asked.
"Not much but I do know who you and your family is. If you want, I can take you back to your castle when you're all the way healed and don't have my blood in you." Naruto said.
"I can't leave now," I ask.
"No, you have my blood in you and that is not good. If they check you up when we get to your castle they will know something is wrong. So two weeks at most you will have to stay here with me." Naruto said. "If you leave with my blood you will be able to hear animals talk even the minor ones and trust me when I say that can be distracting for you humans." Naruto said in a slightly condescending tone.
"Okay I get it," I said quickly.
"If you by chance stop hearing squeaker here that means you can go home." Naruto said pointing at Chibi the Fox.
"Oww… why did you bite me?" Naruto said looking down at the fox.
"Don't call me squeaker." Chibi said and sauntered off.
"Seriously though, if you stop hearing the animals around you stop talking that means you don't have my blood in you." Naruto said walking out the cave, but before he left I could tell he was shifting back to his fox form. I also noticed he had nine fox tails not one.
I laid my head right back down. What is Kakashi going to tell my father? Oh man my brother is going to have an aneurism when he finds out I'm missing.
"Ouch Naruto," Chibi screamed.
"That's what you get," Naruto said laughing.
This could be fun and just what I need after all this time. So all the stories my mother told were real not a fairy tale. Too bad I won't be able to tell my mother about this place. I never imagined I would be here. But despite wanting to stay awake for everything I was going through I couldn't keep my eyes open and when I finally woke later that night I woke up to the little fox sleeping next to me. I stood up and started heading toward the entrance of the cave and was just going to look out until I heard someone behind me.
"I wouldn't go out there if I was you." Naruto said standing directly behind me.
I couldn't help myself I had to ask why. "Why?" I said still not looking at the fox demon.
"Because you will die without me," Naruto said and backed away from me.
I froze at the word die. Why will I die?
"If you wondering why you will die I will tell you if you want to know." Naruto said sitting on a rock in the cave. I was actually shocked to see him in his human form already.
"Why?" I asked going to sit next to him.
"Because this is a forest with a bunch of animals that could care less about a human. And no I didn't save you because I want compensation I saved you because your sixteen years old and I was there." Naruto said.
How does he know I am sixteen? Wow this fox demon knew a lot.
"If you're wondering about how I know your age it's because I use to live in the city when you and your brother were kids." Naruto said honestly.
"Why did you come to the forest?" I asked.
"Why not? I was just going to be used when I was found out. This way I live in peace instead of being damned to protect people who only fear me. I wouldn't mind protecting someone like you." Naruto said looking at me in my eyes for the first time I seen his eyes blue instead of red.
"Your eyes?" I questioned.
"You like them. I have two sets of eye colors." Naruto said with a nice smile that I could get use too.
"Why would you not mind protecting me?" I asked.
"Because you liked the thought of the forest being enchanted and you wished someone to help you. You didn't want his voice to be the last thing you heard." Naruto said.
"How?" I was going to continue before he put his hand up.
"You said it out loud and I heard your inner wishes. It's part of being in the enchanted forest." Naruto said truthfully.
"So, you heard my deepest wishes?" I asked.
"No, I only heard your inner wishes that moment. I felt bad so I saved you." Naruto said as he walked to pick up the baby fox.
"What happened that made you want to stay here?" I asked. I am really curious about this.
"When I was a young kit in the people's eyes they thought it would be a good idea to try and sale me to the king, which would be your father so I changed into my human form and became a kid at the orphanage and no one said anything. What I really wanted to do was keep a low profile but I never could because the animals kept talking to me. Mainly Chibi kept finding me and talking to me. All I wanted was to be normal so when I hit eighteen in human years I heard someone talking about capturing the demon fox in the mystical forest I went into the forest to see what they were talking about and I found the demon fox that left me in the village as a young kit." Naruto paused.
"Your parent?" I asked.
"Yeah or so I thought. But when I spoke to the fox they told me they didn't have anything to do with dropping me off there at the village. Though no one knew I knew how to change into a human or any other fox demon could we always got away with blending in. When the fox heard the hunters coming he picked me up by my head and threw me in this cave. No one knew what he was protecting that day but I watched them give him a choice to come to them willingly to the village or he would die." Naruto said looking down.
"What did he choose?" I asked feeling extremely bad for him.
"He chose to go with them but ever since then I haven't found him or even sensed him." Naruto said.
"That's why you want to go to the village again but in your fox form?" I asked.
"You got the idea. Can I ask you how long you knew that man Kuruma you said his name was?" Naruto asked.
"Well I don't really remember when he started to come around but my father brought him to us." I said.
Why was Naruto asking about Kuruma?
"Why are you asking about him?" I asked.
"Because his scent is familiar." Naruto said honestly.
Is he trying to tell me he was the fox that saved him years ago? Oh shit.
"Do you think he is the other fox from years ago?" I asked.
"Honestly yes I do," Naruto said.
"Wow," I said confused by what was going to happen.
"Sasuke you should get some sleep were going hunting tomorrow." Naruto said casually changing into his fox form.
"Okay," I said walking to the spot he set up for me. Naruto picked up the fox with his mouth and set her next to me.
When he dropped the fox by me he walked by the entrance of the door to lay down.
"Naruto," I called to him.
"Hmm," Naruto hummed to him.
"You can come by us if you want to." I said.
All I saw was his red eyes look at me like he was shocked I told him that.
"It would be warmer if your closer." I said.
I just watched him get close to me and he looked like a sweet fox not a fox that could be lethal if he wanted to be. I fell asleep laying my head on one of Naruto's tails. Such a fluffy fox he is.
I was awoken the next day from Naruto's tails swatting my face.
"Naruto, stop hitting me with your tail." I said in a tone that was borderline irritated.
"Then get your pompous ass up or I will get my tails wet and smack you with them." Naruto said.
"I'm up," I said getting up.
"Good, come on you two. Time to hunt," Naruto said waiting by the entrance.
"Can I ride on your back?" I asked with a wicked smile.
"Sure," Naruto said laying down so I could get on his back. "You better hold on tight or you will fall with how fast I run." Naruto said and I held on his fur.
Naruto started running fast and I couldn't exactly see anything around me. All of a sudden they made a stop and I almost flew off him. Then I realized I did fly off him but he caught me and I was being held by him in his mouth.
"Your a son of bitch, why the hell would you keep me in your mouth?" I screamed.
"Calm down Sasuke I need to hunt for our meal and you flew off me so I had to catch you and I did. If I didn't catch you, you would have flown into a tree if I didn't catch you." Naruto said.
"Well excuse me fox," I said still pissed off.
"Give me a second and stay here with Chibi or they will take you, understand?" Naruto said.
"Who will take me?" I asked.
Naruto was gone though so he didn't answer me.
"The other demons," Chibi said.
"What do you mean? The other demons?" I asked.
"There are demons here aside from just Naruto. The demons aren't attacking you because Naruto is protecting you." Chibi said.
"Is it really that bad?" I asked.
"Yes it is and extremely dangerous." Chibi said and that was the moment Naruto came back with a few fish in his mouth.
"Now that is nasty," I said with a disusted look.
"Shut up you little shit and eat what I tell you to eat." Naruto said in a tone that held no bounds.
"Fine," I said pulling the fishes out of his mouth.
It was weird but Naruto was very kind to me a very unusual demon.
"Naruto, do you think I can ride on your back again without you racing like a speed horse in the forest." I said.
"Sure I won't go speeding around this time." Naruto said chuckling.
When we got back to the cave, Naruto helped me set a campfire so I could cook my fish.
"Naruto, do you ever think about going back to the village?" I asked.
"No I don't actually. Well that was until I met you, you intrigued me." Naruto said.
"Can I know how old you are?" I asked.
"Human years or fox years?" Naruto asked.
"There different?" I asked.
"Yes they are," Naruto said chuckling.
"Okay than both," I said.
"I am twenty-two in human years and about to be fifty in fox years." Naruto said eating his fish.
"You're kidding?" I asked shocked.
"Nope, actually I might be younger in human years but I have been a fox for years that I don't know how long time has passed." Naruto said.
"I get it you haven't been out the forest in a long time." I said.
"Do you miss your palace?" Naruto asked.
"Not really, I miss things about it but I don't miss that place." I said honestly. I do miss my brother though.
"You miss your brother." Naruto said.
"Yes I do miss him. How did you figure that out?" I asked.
"I could tell, when I first came out here to the forest I missed human contact." Naruto said.
"You missed people when you came here?" I asked.
"Of course, who wants to be here alone?" Naruto said with a sad expression.
"I guess but it gave you a lot of time to think right?" I said with a slight smirk.
"Your definitely right about that." Naruto said with a charming smile.
We ate and talked all night, I am so happy to be around him and getting away from all the problems of the palace. If only I knew what was going on at the palace while I was away.
Reviews..
Naruto is two years older than Itachi in this one and Itachi is four years older than Sasuke.
Sasuke - 16
Naruto - 22
Itachi - 20
Kuruma - 20
Just one heads up I can give everyone on this story is that there is more than a few demon foxes in the village Sasuke lives in but Naruto is more aggressive than them because he lived in the wild for so long. Oh and yes Kuruma is not older than Naruto so that raises some questions on if he really was the fox that saved Naruto when he was eighteen.
