In a hotel about 5 hours away from Konoha lay two people in a single bed. Naruto rolled over to see Kyuubi was in fact sleeping soundlessly. He silently jumped out of the bed through the window to the top of the roof. Sitting down he revisited the events of the day. It had in fact been a good one. Kyuubi whined as usual, they stopped for ice cream on the way. Kyuubi…Now that was an odd one. Her mood swings were a force to be reckoned with. She was dangerously powerful but…he couldn't help feel a sense of helplessness coming from her. She was annoying as hell with her loud mouth, and her bright red hair, and her crimson eyes…and her lips plump and--- .Naruto shook his head. He had to focus on his mission. Infiltrate the sound village as a spy and bring back the defense layout to Konoha.

He smirked.

Sasuke Uchiha would be one of the top targets in the attack.

No doubt he would be the one to kill him.

You see little did Sasuke know, Itachi was already dead. His revenge had been foiled by Naruto's sheer will to live. They had burned the body and spoken of it no further. That's when Naruto truly became a ninja. He and jiriaya had his from summoning ceremony that night. They and Gamabunta drank sake for roughly 9 hours strait until Gamabunta gave up. Naruto continued reminiscing until he felt a feeling of dread well up in his very soul. Flipping down he landed on the fire escape he looked through the window at Kyuubi on the bed. Tears of Despair falling down her cheeks. His eyes widened at the sight until he realized.

She's crying for me…

Not used to this kind of situation Naruto walked into the room. Where he was glomped by a certain redhead.

"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU, I WAS WORRIED SICK!"

He looked up into her eyes…captivating and hypnotic…crimson the color of destruction but…also the color of passion…of romance…of…

"BAKA-NARUTO! PAY ATTENTION!"

"I'm sorry what?"

Kyuubi smiled to herself. She knew at times how seductive she could be, it was in her nature. This kid was way too innocent to understand what was going on. She could see it in his blue eyes. Innocence and peace…almost like an ocean…she felt all of her worries melt away…

"N-nothing Naruto-kun, don't worry about it."

(The next morning.)

The couple approached the sound village, and the sight of it was quite surprising. Naruto had expected it to be some dark and dank place with the sky always cloudy, instead it was quite the opposite. There we men building houses and the like. Women shopping and cooking. Shops lined the main-street; children played in the yards that kinda thing. They walked up to the gate and introduced themselves.

"Halt, state your business."

Naruto looked up to see a man no older than 20 asking the questions.

"Just refuge ninja from Mist sir. Looking for a home."

"Hmmm, what's your name?"

"Momochi Gendo and this is my—"

"Girlfriend, Yuki."

"Young couple eh? Alright here are your temporary headbands until you're evaluated by the Otokage and placed onto a squad. Here are your keys. Apartment complex 4 Room 115. Enjoy your stay."

They both bowed as they entered the village, out of earshot Naruto's face went Hinata red as they strolled the stands.

"That wasn't part of the plan Yuki."

Kyuubi just smirked; she had him wrapped around her finger. Now all she had to do was jump him when they got back to the apartment, rip his clothes off and—

Jab. Naruto continued poking her in the head.

"Hey umm, are you dead?"

She grinned. A mischievous glint in her eye.

"Naruto-kun."

She latches on to his arm and looks up to see the poor boy almost exploding with embarrassment.

She giggles before running ahead of him, to the dango stand.

Naruto grinned too. Kyuubi may be annoying but she sure was fun to be around!

Sorry about the late update, Had no idea where to move with this story. I think I've found my direction though.
