Hi! New chapter! Sorry it took so long! I've been really busy! Just telling people that I don't own Naruto. Though this new version of Kyuubi was a random thought of mine. Does that count as anything?
Thoughts are in Italics
Kyuubi saying anything is in bold
Her Precious Fox
Naruto POV
I woke up but I didn't really wake up. I opened my eyes and saw the gates that held the Kyuubi within me. I saw the demon glaring at me from behind the bars.
"So kit? You learned the price of that nice little gift I gave you huh? You may be able to be gentle to the one you want to protect. You might even be able to think properly. But at the sight of anyone else, friend or foe, it will force you to attack. You will be blinded and won't be able to stop." Kyuubi said and laughed.
"So what? Thanks for the power. Sure I protected Hinata. But since I also hurt my friends it's not worth using it. I won't be using that power anymore…" I told the demon. But it only laughed at me.
"You fool. Did you think you got a say in that? Oh now that I've used this form it's going to take a lot more than just your determination to hold it back…" it said. I was starting to get pissed at this damn fox.
"No, you used those damn emotions that humans have to get this… now if you start feeling even a little bit pissed off at someone you could change! Not to mention that this also makes your tempter get a little bit shaper." Kyuubi growled as he glared down at me.
"I was able to see what was going on when you were in that new form… so that Hyuuga girl likes you huh? And I noticed that you now have feelings for her… this could get interesting!" Kyuubi said and started laughing.
"Shut up! Just tell me how I can control this! I don't want this!" I yelled to which the demon laughed even harder.
"You need to control the emotion that made you like this in order to get control. But since your affection for the Hyuuga girl made you like this… It's going to be one hell of a problem to get your emotions under control for this!" it laughed. I heard it's evil laugh echo from within my head and slowly I started to wake up. I heard noises but none of them were new to me. I could tell I was in a hospital. I slowly opened my eyes and expected to just see the ceiling. Instead I saw a white face, beautiful long black hair, and a pair of lavender eyes.
"H-Hinata?" I mumbled which made her jump. I liked seeing her blush. It was really cute now that I had finally noticed it. I felt happy. All of those emotions I felt when we were together earlier came back to me. I felt so happy because I loved her. And what was better was that I knew she loved me back.
"N-Naruto-kun! Y-You're awake!" she yelled in surprise.
"Yeah, don't worry, I'm ok. Everything feels fine." I told her and smiled. I expected her to smile and hug me like she did earlier. Then of course I would hug her back and we would just stay like that for a while.
"W-Well… I-If you're ok… I-I'll just go tell Tsunade-sama… I-I think she would want to see you…" She said as she started to leave. I was completely confused. What was wrong with her? I mean, it's like the whole thing with us being together and her confessing to me never happened. I was only left alone for a few minutes before Tsunade-obaa-chan came in.
"Naruto. You really must have been insane to use the Kyuubi's chakra to let it take control of you like that. You turned on your own teammates." She yelled at me.
"I-I know! It was so weird. This new form that I've discovered, I can be in control if I'm trying to protect one specific person. But if I see anyone else then I am forced to attack. Kyuubi told me all of this when I passed out. Looks like that bastard fox was right. I can't control this until I deal with my emotions." I said.
"What exactly did the demon tell you Naruto?"
"Well, it said that because my emotions were so wild they forced me to protect Hinata and because of that I was able to keep her safe. But now that this power is released I will have no choice. If I feel like someone is in danger my emotions might drive me to that new form again." I told her. She looked pretty worried. I didn't really understand all of what was going on.
"T-Tsunade-obaa-chan, when I was in that form. Hinata told me that she likes me. But now she seems so nervous. I-I have figured out my own feelings for her, and I like her back. So shouldn't she be happy? And want to be with me?" I asked. Tsunade-obaa-chan laughed.
"So only in that form she had the courage? Naruto, remember that in any kind of form with four tails of the Kyuubi's chakra you normally don't remember what happened. She must have known this. She now thinks you don't know and that you don't have any feelings for her back." She told me. I felt my heart being crushed as I remembered what she said when we were together in the cave.
"Naruto, if it's your emotions for Hinata that made you protect her, then it seems like if you feel like Hinata is in any kind of danger you'll change and dive to protect her. I'll be able to run some test and find out if we can make a seal or something to make sure you won't change if you so much as see her trip and fall." She told me. I nodded.
It took the rest of that day and half of the next but at the end I walked out with the knowledge that Tsunade-obaa-chan was almost done with a way to control the chakra. I was tired from having to be poked with needles and have my chakra drained from me to be tested all day. Hinata was still in my head. I could only think about the beautiful girl that had told me she loved me. Just remembering her sweet voice say the words, 'I love you' made me blush.
"Careful kit! Remember what I told you. You let those emotions of yours take control and my chakra will come pouring out of you!" the Kyuubi said. It's voice echoing in my head.
"Shut up! I'm not going to lose control. Besides, I know now that I love her. I know she loves me too. So I think I can control these emotions and make sure that everything goes smoothly!" I thought. I smiled as I looked up at the sun beginning to set in the sky.
"Yeah! Everything will be fine. I just need to start showing Hinata that I love her too. If I can get her to say it again then she'll be happy that I love her too. What will be even better is that I won't embarrass her or anything because she won't have to know that I remember her confessing to me!" I thought. I ran off to find her. I felt my heart pounding in my chest. The thought of her hugging me again drove me even faster to the training grounds where I knew she would be with her team.
When I got there I saw Kureani-sensei, Kiba, Akamaru, Shino, and Hinata finishing up some sparring. I stayed there and waited for Kureani and Shino to leave. Kiba and Akamaru were about to leave when he turned his head in my direction.
"Oi! Naruto! What are you doing over there?" he asked.
"Shit! Damn you Kiba! I wanted to talk to Hinata alone!" I thought as I got up and walked over to them
"Uh, hey Kiba, Hinata. What's up?" I asked. I smiled as usual and I noticed Hinata blushing lightly. She looked really cute like that. I liked her being so shy. It was really cute.
"Not much Naruto. Anyway Hinata, was wondering, would you want to go hang out sometime? I don't mean just training or something. I mean like want to go to a resturant. It would be my treat…" Kiba said and smiled at her while Akamaru was leaning against her and wagging his tail. I watched in horror as he just asked Hinata on a date. I felt my heart stop as she looked like she was really thinking about it.
"Goddamn you Kiba! How dare you ask MY Hinata on a date! She likes me not you so get lost and keep away from her! Hinata-chan! Don't listen to him! Don't accept this offer!" I yelled in my head.
"K-Kiba-kun… I-I don't know… I-I'm not so sure…" she mumbled
"Come on Hinata! It would be fun!" Kiba said and moved a little closer.
"I-I don't think so Kiba-kun… I-I'm sorry…" she said softly.
"Awww! Are you sure? Trust me, I'd make sure it was a prefect night. You and me…" he said which made Hinata turn red. She started to move away but Kiba kept getting closer. He smiled and tried to put an arm around her.
"Hinata, this would be really special. Just you, me, and-" he said. He was cut off. I had grabbed his arm before he had even touched her.
"Hinata said she didn't want to Kiba. Leave her alone and don't you dare keep pressuring her if she already said no." I said. I heard my voice changing and I saw that my body was changing too. It was the new form. It was appearing again. But this time, I didn't care. If it kept Hinata safe and kept Kiba away from her then it was fine. I let my body change and heard a mixture of Hinata screaming, Kiba swearing, and the Kyuubi's laughter in my head as everything went dark. And though I couldn't see it, I knew that I then turned to face Kiba and prepare to attack him.
OK! That was that! I'm sorry that it took so long to get this chapter up. But I promise that the next chapter will be up soon! This is a very short break so the next chapter will be the last. Anyway, please review!
