General Badaxe- Ok, if you people are still reading this fic, I decided to update. Good for me, but I am not getting a prize from any of you. If you think I write this because I want reviews, you are sadly mistaken. I just want reviews that tell me how I can improve, not "this fic sucks" or "this fic rocks" or "please update soon." Look, I will update when I get inspired too, not with you people acting like cheerleaders. Without further delay, here is my update.

I woke up in a dark room. The first thing I noticed about this room was that it is very, very wet. It was about knee-deep in water. I looked around; I noticed that it was very weird in here. Looks a little like a house that was stripped of the walls, and all appliances. There were only pipes running through the place, with walls made of what, looks like, concrete.

As I looked around, I noticed something that was amiss. There appeared to be a cage, except, that cages don't have a part of their wall that looks like it got torn down by a powerful force. This worried me a little. Oh hell, it scared the shit out of me. This place was foreign to me. I am so scared, I actually want to be back in my white room, at least I know what is what in that place.

A sudden thought struck me: 'I want to talk to you person to person.' Those were the words the Kyuubi said. I was shaken. Badly. I don't really care if it promised me that it wouldn't kill me. It never said anything about not hurting me. 'This must be the inside of my mind.' I thought 'After all, where else would I be after what the Kyuubi said?'

"Well, well," said a strange voice to me "Give the kid a medal. He managed to figure out where he was without being told."

My back went stiff as a board. I didn't need to turn around to know who was behind me, after all, I was guessing that only one other person lived inside of me. Unless I had more than one demon sealed inside of me, in which case, I knew I was screwed. What am I thinking? I am still screwed if only the Kyuubi is sealed in me!

I slowly turn around, dreading what I was about to see. I had my eyes closed, until I finally gained the courage to open them. What I saw, even though I was scared, stunned me. I saw a nine-tailed fox, but it was so beautiful. It was white, with black whisker marks. It had red lightning bolts traveling down its tails, until you get to the tips, which were a sort of orange-red color. The very tip of the tail, were black.

The Kyuubi just stared at me, drinking in my expression, it was enjoying my awe. I always assumed the Kyuubi was ugly, to show how it was a destroyer, but if I guessed right, it just proves that you can't judge a book by its cover. Its fur had a silky look to it, and I probably would have pet it, if I wasn't so scared that I couldn't move at all. I would give anything to know that this wasn't the Kyuubi, because it seems such a shame to hate such a beautiful creature. However, this creature also made my life a living Hell, so I would probably still end up hating it.

"Well, are you going to say anything?" The giant creature asked me.

"Actually," I said in a shaky voice "I just want to know, are you the Kyuubi everyone fears?"

"For someone who is a lot smarter than they look," said the creature "You can be pretty dumb at times. I have nine tails, I look like a fox, at least, I assume I look like one, and you don't see anyone else here. Of course I am the Kyuubi you humans fear."

Ok, I truly felt like an idiot. The Kyuubi made some points I should have noticed straight off. I was being controlled by my fear, and my awe, and of course, my denial. Who would want to believe that such a beautiful creature was able to kill off entire villages? But I also knew I should be a lot more careful around the Kyuubi. After, by what I can tell, the Kyuubi could listen to one word, and understand ten of them. I should be very, very afraid. And, being the smart guy I am, I was.

"So then tell me Kyuubi," I said in a shaky voice "Why did you attack Konoha all those years ago? I can't believe that a creature as beautiful as you would destroy, just because you want to."

"Well Naruto," said the Kyuubi in an amused voice "I hate to break it to you, but this 'Beautiful creature' as you put it, just likes to destroy stuff. Your village was the most interesting, because it put up a better fight than most. Even though I lost, I commend your village on being able to defeat me in a way."

Well, this irked me a little bit. The Kyuubi just likes to destroy stuff, and it rated villages based on the challenge it gave it. All of a sudden, some things came into place, on why I sometimes get a little urge to destroy an entire population, just to see if I can. It is probably the Kyuubi's wish for me to do so, and the dream I had recently, probably under the Kyuubi's influence.

"Well, there goes my opinion of you." I said dryly, and the Kyuubi just chuckled. "But what is that broken cage in here? It seems a little strange that a cage should be in here in the first place, let alone a broken one. It looks like a demon blew through it…Wait a second is that…?"

"I really should get some medals," said the Kyuubi's voice dripping in sarcasm "You have figured it out. The cage over there used to host yours truly, until you became a half demon. The reason you became a half demon surprises even me. And let me tell you, it is not easy to surprise one of my age.

That weird black blast that hit you from the other ninja, acted as a corrosive acid on the cage. In case you haven't figured it out, the cage represents the seal on you. Anyway, the black blast acted like a corrosive acid, and severely weakened the seal. Taking my chance at freedom, I blew apart part of the cage. Then I leaped out, and what happened next, I was not expecting.

That man who sealed me was a smart one; apparently, he put in a back-up seal. The second seal activated if the first one failed, and it took my energy and made it a part of you. Basically, it turned you into a half-demon. This village had one smart Human! Putting on a secondary seal, I wasn't expecting that. So anyway, my energy fused with you DNA, and so you gained some extra parts, aside from the whiskers."

It took a bit for this to sink in. A secondary seal? I didn't think that was possible in my wildest dreams! But, was it worth it? True, I still keep my original body, but do I really need a tail and claws? The whiskers made the villagers hate me enough, how will they react when they learn I have a tail and claws? I cringe at the thought, but I still had a couple of questions I wanted to ask.

"Kyuubi," I said, my voice lost the faltering, but it was still a bit uncertain. "Why do you praise the Yondaime? Shouldn't you get really pissed off that you were beaten, and that he thought of another way to stop you?"

The Kyuubi, like with most of my questions, just chuckled before speaking. "Well kit, credit is given where credit is due. I have respect for him for thinking this far ahead, and I am pissed off, but only for the first eleven years stuck here. Then I found you amusing, but I also noticed a couple things that told others you are smarter than you look, but the people were too full of prejudice to notice."

I thought for a second, but I could only think of learning kage no bunshin in a couple hours that would tip me off. It confused me a little, but people never said any rumor about what I did, that might tip me off. "I give up," I said "What other flaws did I make that could tip others off?"

"Well kit," said the Kyuubi "For starter, you were able to outrun a couple ANBU pursuits. Any normal genin would have been caught before they knew it, the fact that you noticed them, AND gave them the slip, should of pointed out you were different than you appeared. Second, your mastery of kage no bunshin in a couple hours. You already know about that one, but being able to summon about 200 after it, and then beating up a chuunin, that was the part you forgot about.

Let's see, there was that time when you were 5 that you used chakra to get up a branchless tree. You forgot to climb down, and ended up calling for help from others. When the Hokage finally came, he asked how you got up there, and when you told him how, he instantly knew you were smarter than you looked.

Finally, there was that time when you were ten in the academy, that you hit a spot in the neck of another student that makes them answer the truth about yes or no questions. Only really smart people, or really advanced monks even know about that point, let alone being able to hit it. You are lucky that you got away before anyone saw what you did, but that was not the smartest thing you have ever done."

I thought this over, and I realized that the Kyuubi was right. If anyone was looking, they would have known I was smarter that I looked. I was thinking about getting on my hands and knees and thanking every last God up in heaven, when I remembered someone HAD noticed. Hinata said I was smarter than I looked, so did that mean that she knew? I feared the answer to that question.

"You know Kyuubi, you have proven to me what a fool I was to make those mistakes. I also have no doubt, that you are keeping back some incidents of mine." I was saying "But I just want the answer to two more questions that are bothering me: one, what is with all this water in my mind? And two, what gender are you? The last one has been bugging me, because I have no idea what gender I should address you as."

The Kyuubi decided not to chuckle at this question, for which I was grateful. Instead, it let out a full blown laugh as it told me. "Kit, the water in your mind are the tears you have held back, because you didn't want to show anyone your weakness. The darkness represents how you feel most of the time, and the pipes represent your feelings coming in and out of your mind. That and about 1/10 of the water is my drool.

As for my gender, I am female. Male foxes don't tend to be as forgiving as Females, but then again, Female foxes are also quicker to anger. So we tend to destroy a lot more in smaller quantities. You know what they say after all, 'Females will kill you twice as fast for half the reason, just because they are sad afterward, doesn't change the fact that you are dead.' I find this to be truthful for demons as well. Except for the feeling sorry part, it describes me perfectly!"

I thought about this for a second. So, the water represents the tears I have held in, I am not really surprised there is this much then. The darkness represents how hopeless I think my situation is, and the pipes represent my thoughts going to and from my mind. That and the Kyuubi is Female, so I also wondered 'Why do most books on the Kyuubi say that it is male?' I had no idea, so I asked this question

I got the same chuckle as before, and it was starting to get on my nerves. "Because kit," said the Kyuubi, and her nickname for me was also getting annoying "No one ever asked that question of me. They always assumed that because I had an appetite for destruction, that I was male. And would you look at the time! You have about 5 more minutes left before you wake up. Hey kit, want to be the first to see my human form?"

Now, this got me curious. I didn't even know that demons had a human form. But it would make sense, because how else could demons get around without having everyone around them panicking? I suppose this was a way for them to take a break from killing and destroying things. So, like every other human being, my curiosity got the better of me. "Yes Kyuubi," I said, my voice being dripped in sarcasm for the last part "This mere human being would be honored if you would grace him with the honor of being the first to see you in human form."

"For starters kit, you are a half demon half human, not pure human. And you should feel honored." Said the Kyuubi as she changed. A sudden smoke burst from her, covering the room. I closed my eyes, and it was suffocating. Smoke got in my nose, my mouth, and every other part of my body. I realized quickly that I could not breathe, and I began to cough and choke on the smoke. The smoke quickly blew away, leaving me hacking, coughing, and welcoming the air into my lungs.

"Damn it you stupid fox!" I said as I heaved in the fresh air. "You bastard, that could have killed m-!" I couldn't find the words to speak. To say the Kyuubi was gorgeous would have been an insult to her. She had strawberry red hair, flowing down to her shoulders. Her skin had a creamy white glow to it. She had red eyes that were pretty enchanting on her. She had nine tails swaying behind her, like a sort of dance all their own. She had a nice dimpled smile; I never thought she would have.

She was wearing a skin tight red dress that left VERY little to the imagination. The dress even had a slit running up her leg, to show a side of her underwear. It was black with lace, and I hated myself because of it, but I wanted to see more.

"So Naruto…" she said my name with a seductive tone, and her saying it like that scared me. "Do you like what you see?" She already knew the answer to that question. Then she slowly walked toward me, in a sort of stalking manner, as I slowly backed away at the same pace. As she walked, it looked like her dress was going to rip right off. A part of me wanted to see it happen, and my other part was thoroughly disgusted at my first part.

Then something happened, that stopped me cold, literally. I backed up into a wall, with nowhere else to go. The Kyuubi advanced slowly, taking her time, after all I wasn't going anywhere, and she had me cornered. "Just to tell you kit…" She still had that seductive tone in her voice, and I wanted to get away. "I do have a name, and I have decided to tell you. After all, for what I have in mind for you I don't want to hear you scream 'Kyuubi, Kyuubi!' I would much prefer it if you screamed my real name, Prier."

"Um…Prier…Would you be so kind to respect my space?" I said in a shaky voice, getting the dirty implication she gave off.

"I am so sorry kit…"Her voice still had that seductive term, but it also has a purr to it now. She pressed her body to mine; she was about as tall as I am. "But I don't really want to stop, and I can tell by your body's reaction, that you don't want me to stop either."

My body got a very carnal reaction with her body being pressed to mine. She was enjoying this, I could tell. I didn't know if it was because she enjoyed watching me squirm, or the fact that she has been sex deprived for about at least 12 years. Her body got pressed even harder against mine, and she let out a small moan. I wanted her to stop, but at the same time, I didn't want her to stop. Did that make me a pervert? That question got pushed to the back of my mind, as she managed to purr, which was making me lose my mind.

"It's so sad Kit," said Pier "Your time is up. I suppose you will leave, but remember, I will always be here. And since you are stuck in quarantine…" She left part of her sentence off, but I knew what she was going to say.

Because I am stuck in quarantine, I would probably have to go back here to talk to SOMEONE to keep from going insane. Not many people will visit me, if any at all. So, would I really go back here, just to keep from going insane? I dreaded to tell myself the truth, because, I know I will eventually come back here to keep from losing my mind. I dread the day that happens. As I have that last thought, a blinding white light engulfs me, and I black out inside the light.

My eyes open to a pure white ceiling, or is it the floor? I can't tell anymore, and I could care less. The only thing I could tell was a fact was the throbbing headache I had, and that I was alive because of the pain I felt. Everything else could go fuck a cow for all I cared anymore. I got up, and noticed that nothing had changed. I wonder how long I had been here, unconscious, but I had no way of finding out that question. I looked around slowly, for any hint of a concrete wall, or a metal pipe. After what happened, could you blame me for being a bit paranoid?

All of a sudden, I heard the latch being lifted off the door, and it was being unlocked. I took a guard stance; after all, I didn't want to be caught unprepared. The door's chains fell apart, as whoever it was prepared to enter. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the guards 'accidentally' let in a group of villagers that want to kill me. The door creaked open, andI noticed thatthey really need to oil those hinges, but I wasn't going to point this out just yet.

As soon as I saw who it was, I let my guard down a little. It appeared to be Old-Man Hokage, but for all I knew, it was a ninja in henge form. So I was still a little defensive. Old-Man Hokage saw the look in my eyes that said he had better prove to me that he is who he is. He looked a little sad that I doubted him, but I could care less, after what I just went through, I deserve the right to be a little defensive.

"Naruto…" he said, voice showing the pain and hurt that I didn't trust him. However, it also held a tone of understanding, and he knows I can't trust just on looks alone. He turned around, and looked at the two guards "You two close the door, and I'll tell you when I am ready to leave."

The two guards just look at each other, and then turn back to the Hokage. "Honored Hokage, are you sure you want to be left alone with him?" All it took was one look from the Hokage, and the two decided to shut up. "All right Honored Hokage, if that is the way you want it to be." Said the two guards as they closed the door behind them.

The Hokage just turned around, and appraised Naruto. He could tell something had happened, he just didn't know what. "How can I trust you?" I said "For all I know, you are just an enemy ninja in disguise. Prove to me I can trust you if you want information."

The Hokage was stunned at the way I talked to him, after all, I usually trusted everyone. However, I could also tell I pleased him. I no longer took someone seriously based on their appearance, and I wouldn't be so easily deceived by others. "Well Naruto, there are a couple ways you can tell." Said the Hokage "One, I'm the one who got you out of a tree when you were five, and I wouldn't be able to hold a henge in an anti-chakra room."

I thought these facts over, and then I felt like a fool. Of course this was an anti-chakra room, so why was I being so paranoid? I knew the answer of course; it was because of my meeting with the Kyuubi. It had me on edge, after all, she scared the shit out of me. You would be pretty scared too, after all, how often do you meet a demon in the flesh? Well, I suppose it wasn't in the flesh, but you should know what I mean.

"Well Old-Man, I suppose you are right." I said in a relieved tone of voice "I'm a little on edge after the dream I had, and I had a problem come up in my mind. It took all my willpower to get out of what I was thinking, so sorry if I'm a little on edge today."

The Hokage wasn't stupid. He knew I was lying about something; however, he had no idea what I was lying about. Since he had no idea, I wasn't going to enlighten him. After all, I had no idea what actions he might take if I told him about my meeting with Prier. I know he is not stupid, but I am not ready to see what kind of actions he would take. Hell, if a meeting with the demon inside me made me a little paranoid, I wouldn't expect him to react much different. After all, situations that make people uncomfortable also make them act stupid.

"So Naruto," said Old-Man Hokage "Are you going to tell me about the dream you had?"

To tell you the truth, I didn't know if I should tell him about it. After all, I slaughtered Konoha in that dream. One thing occurred to me though, where was the Old-Man when I had that dream? I doubt that I would be able to beat him without getting injured, and then almost any other ANBU member would be able to take me out. As this occurred to me, I also decided I would tell the Old-Man about my dream.

"Well, to put my dream in a nutshell, I slaughtered the entire village of Konoha." I said, with a hint of guilt in my voice. "I slaughtered the entire village, set it on fire, and was just chasing some survivors when I woke up." I looked up to see his face turn a pale white, and he appeared to be a little concerned, oh what the hell, he appeared to be panicking.

"Well…Naruto…" Said the Old-Man Hokage "Do you know why you had that dream? After all, sometimes we have dreams to express how we feel inside, and we don't want to admit to ourselves that we have these dark hidden desires."

"Well Old-Man," I said "I think I know why I had the dream." He just looked at, with an expression that demanded he know why. It gave no room for argument, just do it. "I think I had the dream to represent how much I hated the villagers of Konoha, because of the Hell they put me through. I still want their respect, but every once in a while, I think about what would happen if I tried to slaughter the village, so my dream showed what would happen, or at least, what I want to happen."

The Old-Man just stood their, and appraised me. He looked like he was contemplating a problem. All of a sudden, his face lit up, like he just won the lottery. "Naruto," He said in an excited voice. This voice shocked me, because I have never heard it in my life. You usually don't hear an old person excited, and it was musical to me. It lifted a burden from my shoulders, and at the same time, told me that everything would be ok. I imagined that this is what it sounds like when a grandfather gives his age-old advice to his grandson. It made me feel very warm inside.

"Naruto," he said to me "Why don't I get you someone who is willing to come every so often, just to talk to you? After all, Iruka has someone who wants to take care of him, why don't we try to find someone who is willing to talk to you?"

Truth be told, I liked his plan, after all, I wouldn't have to resort to talking to the Demon inside of me to keep me from going insane. However, I found a really big flaw in his plan. "Old-Man," I said to him, "I really like the thought of having someone who is willing to talk to me every so often, but you have one problem: Who would be willing to talk to me? After all, most parents forbid their kid from talking to me, and others think that I am just annoying. Why would they waste their valuable time on me?"

The Old-Man just took my pessimism, and told me his plan. "Alright Naruto, What I am going to do is simple. I will make it a mission."

I looked at him like he just said that I am going to die of flaming diarrhea. "Old-Man," I said in a very exasperated tone, "I appreciate the thought, but I don't need an entire genin team to come visit me on a daily basis. I only need one to visit me, and just someone I know I won't have too many troubles with. Someone simple, and who doesn't mock me too much."

He just looked at me, as though he had a way to make everything right. And, I suppose, that he can. He IS the most powerful person in Konoha, so I suppose he could pull it off. However, I had a few ground rules for him to follow if he was going to do this. "Ok, look Old-Man," I said in a defeated tone "You can try your plan, and find an individual who is willing to talk to me daily. But I have a few words for you, one I can't drop my mask to them, unless they have figured out it is a mask.

Another thing, they can't be scared about me being a half demon. I could care less if they hate me, because I am used to hate filled glares. You also have to tell them that I have a demon sealed inside of me; I don't want to lie to them. And, finally, I don't want ANY of the people from my old team. I don't want to see Sasuke, Sakura, or Kakashi, unless I absolutely have to. I doubt I could look them in the eye."

The Old-Man just stood there, and listened to what I said. "Alright Naruto," Said the Old-Man Hokage "I agree to the terms you have suggested. It will be issued to all teams, except the one you used to be in, and it will be classified as an A-Rank mission."

"Whoa! Whoa! Hold on, time out!" I yelled suddenly "Old-Man, I know my safety is important to you, but an A-Rank mission? Why so high, all they have to do is come talk to me whenever they feel like."

The Old-Man looked a little sad as he told me the reason. "You see Naruto, I have to prepare them for what they might have to do." I gave him a confused look. After all, what does he mean 'What they might have to do?' "You see Naruto, you are a half demon, and so, unless I rank it high enough, you won't be considered an appropriate threat. You have claws and a tail, and looking around this room…" he gestured.

I looked around, and I saw the books I had ripped in half with my claws, and the prints in the floor where I lifted the bookshelf with my tail, and set it back down. Hard. I understood then, because of what I can do without chakra, they have the same limitation. So I would have the advantage, it is a little like knowingly going into a trap. So I understood what could happen. With the dream I had recently, and the fact that I have claws, and a really strong tail, I could easily overpower whoever came to be here.

"Alright then," I told the Old-Man "Now I understand the reason behind it. I just wanted to make sure that you weren't playing favorites with me. That is one of the quick ways to piss me off, like someone more than the other, and so you give them special treatment. Nice to see you take your job seriously."

The Old-Man just smiled, and gave me a warm smile. It was one of the contagious ones, so I couldn't help but grin too. He started to chuckle, and I followed soon after. Then he started laughing, and I felt like such a monkey, but I started to do it too. Eventually, when we both cooled down enough to speak, I asked a question I just thought about. "Hey, Old-Man, Is Iruka-sensei doing ok? I haven't been able to see him recently because of some…complications."

The Old-Man just looked at me in a strange way, like I just asked him to swallow some hot coals. "Well Naruto…I hated to tell you this, but he got released from quarantine." I was very happy about that statement; however, I was also very pissed. "What? Why? I understand that he got released, and I a very happy he did, but why did he get released early?"

"Naruto," said the Old-Man "He got several tests done to him, and they could not find any difference in his blood, or any of his organs. His skin didn't change in any way, so we had no reason to keep him." I stayed quiet, so that this information could sink in. My face lit up as realization struck me.

"YES!" I exclaim at the top of my lungs. The Hokage was expecting a lot of things. Me getting pissed, me throwing a fit, me demanding to get released, but he was not expecting me to get happy about that statement. "Old-Man, can Iruka-sensei be the one that visits me now and then?"

The Old-Man smiled a little smile when he realized why I was so happy. I didn't bother asking for an early release, after all, my blood and chakra changed a lot. So I doubt that the council would bother letting me out of here anyway. Not without serving the full sentence of three years at least.

"Naruto," said the Old-Man "I don't want to say it, but I can't allow Iruka to see you." I was about to erupt, when He just gave me a look that said 'be quiet', and so I shut up long enough to explain himself.

"Look, we can't let him see you, because he has an academy to teach. If we let him see you, he would probably come in the mornings and be late, then he wouldn't grade homework, because he would be visiting you in the afternoon. We all know he thinks of you like a son, so he would put you before every other student."

I hated to admit it, but he was right. After all, Iruka-sensei might as well be my father. I also knew that, no matter who my real father was, it didn't matter. As long as I had Iruka-sensei, my father could be a demon, an angel, or even a Kage, I wouldn't really care. "All right Old-Man, you win. I won't have Iruka-sensei be the one to visit me often. However, I swear to all, the Gods and Demons out there, if you pick a jackass to be the one to talk to me, I will royally kick your ass from here to the Kage monument and back."

"I'll make you a deal Naruto," he said while chuckling "If I do get some jackass to be the one to visit you, you can tell me, and I will LET you kick my ass to the Kage monument and back. After all, I would deserve it then." I couldn't help but grin at this statement.

"All right, but you remember, I will hold you to what you said." I said with my own chuckle. "Well, I have taken enough of your time. You better get back before everyone panics because you have gone missing. That, and the paperwork will eventually become really huge, and we don't need you to cry in front of all of the villages ninjas now do we?"

The Hokage just burst out laughing. He knew as well as I did, that it would be hectic when he got back. "Well Naruto," He said "You are probably right; I had better get back to my office. I'll make sure to find someone who is willing to talk to you, and if I accidentally pick a jackass, I am going to feel it for a while." He ended it in a laugh.

I have to say, it felt good to hear another human laugh, so I lost myself in it. The Hokage just walked to the steel door, and knocked on it. "Alright you two, let me out." We both just waited a little bit. When it became clear that no one was coming, The Hokage got a look that said 'I AM PISSED!' Then he slammed the door. Twice. Then he yelled out, "If you two don't open this door now, I am going to make you do all the paperwork at my offices, so MOVE IT!"

A bunch of scrambling was heard outside, as locks, latches, and a giant bar was moved. When the door finally opened, the two guards were apologizing profusely to the Hokage. Then the Old-Man turned around, looked at me, and said "Naruto, when you become Hokage, you had better make sure that you get better assistants and guards than I do. It will save you a lot of trouble." After those words, he walked out, closing the door behind him.

When he left, I waited about 3 minutes. Then I started to jump around the place, like one of those people you see in the circus. I was doing back flips, running up the wall, I even ran along the ceiling. 'He said 'when I become Hokage!'' This thought just kept running through my head, as I was doing stuff that was not possible in anything other than a cartoon, manga, or a fan fiction. 'He believes in me! Now I know I will become Hokage!' With this thought, I slump to the ground, an ear to ear grin never leaving my face.

With this thought, I realize how tired I was. With this, I lie down on the floor, and slowly fall asleep, feeling that, at least once, that this quarantine might have been worth it. But, when I think about everything else that, I realize that maybe it wasn't worth it. After all, I would be unable to see Iruka-sensei; I am unable to see my friends, I am slowly getting a more bitter view on life, AND I have a fox demon inside of me that seems to be sex deprived. What scares me the most is that last part, because I seem to be the fox's only way of release. How desperate is Prier? I was a little scared of that answer.

While I was falling asleep, I heard Prier's voice, and what she said scared me. 'Well, well, well, how are you doing kit? I let you be alone for a little bit. However, I do have a small control of the dreams you have. If you think I will leave you alone, you are sadly mistaken.' After she said that, she gave me a chuckle, which said she was going to have fun. I had a very dark feeling that her 'fun' would be something I would regret.

I was right, and it really pissed me off that I was. In my dream, I was walking along Konoha forest. This wasn't so bad, after all, it was nice to get back to a part of nature after seeing white walls, and door for about a month. I looked around, I saw a couple animals walking around, some birds were flying, and others were chirping. I thought it was strange, didn't Prier say that she was going to give me a nightmare, or something like that? This isn't a nightmare; this is what I dream about when I want some peace and quiet.

All of a sudden, I saw a really small fox that reminded me of Prier in her fox form. This startled me, because I thought there would only be one that looks like her. Then I noticed this fox had nine tails, and it appeared to be grinning at me. 'OH SHIT!' I thought, after all, that was Prier, and she was not here to enjoy the scenery. She walked next to a tree, while my gaze never looked away from her. What was she doing?

Suddenly, the tree burst into flame, and the fire spread rapidly. It was covering the forest, and I did the only thing I could, I ran. I was running, but it was useless. The fire sped past me, on both my left and right sides. All of a sudden, I was surrounded by the flame. I had nowhere left to go, and the fire crept closer. The smoke hit me first, and so I hit the dirt, to keep it from suffocating me.

I had nowhere left to run, I was lying in the dirt, and the fire was going to give me a slow agonized death. I looked around the best I could, but it was limited because I was lying down. I noticed some black fox paws moving closer to my prone form. "Awww kit…" said Prier in an amused voice "it was very nice of you to show respect for me, by hitting the dirt, to let me walk on you." With saying that, Prier walked on top of my lying form. While she was on top of me, she started by clawing my back now and then to find a comfortable spot. When she found one, she lied down on top of my back.

She started to purr, and it was maddening. I had no idea that having an animal laying on your back, and showing how content it was to be there could feel so dirty. When Prier does it, there is a sexual feeling that I can't describe coming from it. It should have been just cute, but it was mind tempting is what it was. I was slowly losing my resolve with her lying on top of me, and the first to show weakness was my tail, which snaked around, and held Prier, to keep her warm.

"Wow kit…" said Prier in a drop dead sexy voice. "I didn't know you had it in you to show compassion when you should be thinking about the fire…" after saying that she let out another maddening purr.

I hate to admit it, but the fact that she distracted me kept me off of the real problem. I looked around, and the fire was still roaring around us. I doubt that Prier was affected at all. She is after all a demon of fire, so I don't think it would do anything to her.

I was a different story, I was a half demon, but my human part made me susceptible to fire. My mind was racing, trying to figure out a way to stop this roaring fire. Then it occurred to me: This is a dream. I'm not really here, so I should have some control of what happens. I tried to will it so that the fire was running out of fuel, and that it was going out. I looked around, and the fire was cooling down, or dieing out. It was getting much cooler, and the last of the fire died. "Wow," I said "Without that fire, it feels a lot cooler here." After saying that, I began to laugh, because I found a way away from the flame. It was a laugh of relief.

"I have to admit," said Prier "Remembering that this is a dream was a feat I didn't expect you to do." My back went stiff, when I remembered that she was still here, and I doubt she was going to let me out of the bag yet. "I do believe that you deserve a reward, don't you?" She purred. My mind raced, I had a feeling that this reward wasn't a simple congratulation, or a small parting gift. "In fact kit…" said Prier in a seductive voice "I do believe that this gift will raise your temperature again…"

The scenery around us changed. It turned into a room, with a really big bed, it had incense around it. I had a feeling that I knew what this was for, and in desperation, I said to no one in particular. (Deep down, I hoped that Prier listened, and would leave me alone. I doubted it would happen, but I was hoping.) "You know, this is a beautiful bed, I would hate to ruin it in any way shape or form…"

"Well kit…" said a REALLY sexy voice behind me "We could always put it back together after we are done with it, if it means that much to you…" I did not have to turn around to see who was behind me. Anyone in my position wouldn't have to. But, being the fool I am, I did look behind me. There Prier was, in a really short green dress, that showed more than enough cleavage, and it was really high up her thigh. It looked ready to show me her breasts or her thighs at the slightest movement. She walked closer, and I was amazed to see that it didn't.

"So kit, do you want to say anything before I try to seduce you?" Asked Prier in a seductive tone.

She could care less if I said anything or not, but I did my best to keep talking so that I could wake up in time to get out of this mess. "Well Prier, I would like to congratulate you on making a really nice room, a very adorable bed, and the incense was a nice touch. So tell me, what do you have in mind to do here, a pillow fight?"

Prier just laughed, and her laugh was as mesmerizing as the rest of her body, when I wasn't full of mocking or conceit to be annoying. "Silly kit, I know you are smarter than that. You are very good at maintaining your mask, except, I know what you go through, and I know how intelligent you are. You know as well as I do what this bed is for." She said in a silky tone.

"Well Prier, I would also like to say that is a nice dress you have on. You should wear some other dresses, and show me what you look like in them." Ok, I know I am getting desperate, but it is better than just giving up isn't it?

Prier gave her mesmerizing laugh, but I was still on guard. You just can't trust a demon, especially one trying to seduce you. "Well kit," (Will she ever change her nickname for me?) "If you like me so much with my dress, I can only imagine how much you would like it if you took it off…" She trailed off as she stalked closer to where I was.

I noticed immediately that she said when 'I' take off her dress, not when she does. As long as I can keep control myself, is should be ok. My only question was a simple one: How long can I resist a demoness who had had years of seduction experience? I had a feeling that I would find out the answer to the question. For one of the few times in my life, I am getting angry that I AM getting answers, and not more questions. It was pissing me off royally, and I could live with more questions if it would just get me out of this situation. Well, who knows, maybe someday Hell will freeze over, and Satan will give free sled rides.

Prier just walked closer, while I was backing up slowly. My legs soon hit the front of the bed, and I had nowhere else to go. I quickly look behind me, in a vain attempt to see if there was another way out of this situation. I could not find any, and so I quickly turned back around. The fist thing I see when I turn back around, is Prier's smiling face, actually, it was more of a temptress's smile, than a 'happy to see you' smile. Then she pushed me onto the bed, with her landing on top of me, and pinning me to the bed.

"Now, now, kit…" She said in a half purring half seductive voice "don't you find this to feel a lot better than just standing? I know I do…" She was already probing my defenses, to see if I would resist her at all.

"You know Prier," I said in a husky voice "I would probably feel a lot more comfortable if both of us were standing up, and we were just playing a nice game of cards." I said in small hope that she would enjoy the thought of playing cards.

"You know kit; I WOULD enjoy playing a card game with you…" Prier said in a matter of fact tone. My hopes rose a little more, after all, whatever card game she wanted to play couldn't be that bad right? "I would enjoy a game of strip poker…" she said in her sexy voice.

"Ummm…" I said in a shaky voice "That is ok; I don't want to play cards anymore."

"If you don't want to play cards…" Prier said in a seductive tone, her face traveling closer to mine, before stopping a few centimeters away from mine. "Why don't we do something that would be a lot more interesting?" She asked, right before connecting our lips. It was Heaven and Hell at the same time. I had to admit to myself, that I was enjoying this, no sense in lying to myself. But, I also want this to stop, because I don't like the thought of being a casual lay.

It didn't work out well for me though. My body reacted on its own, as I began to kiss her right back. I couldn't stop the torrent of emotions that were traveling through my body at the time. I wanted to take her; I didn't care, as my arms encircled her around her waist. My tail traveled farther downward than my arms, and began to rub her ass. After feeling this, she began to moan into my mouth. "I am impressed kit…" She said in a panting voice "You seem like you have some experience, you are making me heavy and wet, I want you to take off my clothes, and truly make me feel like a woman."

Ironically, as much as that sentence should have sent me over the edge, it did quite the opposite. It stopped me from going over the edge. My entire body stopped moving, and I said one word, that stopped her cold as well. "No." It was so simple, that was the only word that I had to say, and there it was. She sagged a little, and got off of me. I was amazed, I expected her to swear, to yell at me, to redouble her seduction efforts, but not to quit. "Looks like you win this round Naruto." She said in a tone that said I had earned this. "You were able to make the smart choice, even though your body was telling you what to do. I respect that decision, and so you pass my test."

I was impressed; this entire thing was a test that she had designed. "So, you're telling me that this entire thing was a test that you designed? You don't really have a sexual interest in me? That is a relief to hear." I said in relieved tone of voice.

This means that I only have to worry about the occasional nightmare now. Then, Prier laughed, the laugh that can mesmerize you. "Well kit (We are back to that damn nickname apparently.) that is what it was supposed to be."

"Wait a second, what do you mean 'supposed to be'? Do you have another test for me or something?" I was curious, that is a flaw in all people and things.

You would think we would learn from the damn cat, but nope, we have to be idiots. "Well kit, what do you see on the front of my dress?" As she asked the question, I looked her over. Right where her womanhood was supposed to be was a very dark spot, where what looks like water appeared there. I figured out what it was instantly, but I tried to play dumb.

"Prier, is that blood, did you have your period? If so, I am sorry, but I don't really need to be bitched out when you are in an emotional time of your life." I said it in a voice that said I was serious about what I said.

Unfortunately, I wasn't fooling anyone, when she burst out laughing. "Cute kit, really cute. I needed that laugh." She said, then she got another seductive tone in her voice. "Unfortunately, I was going to end my test if you started to take off my dress. But, you ended up getting me really, really, excited. So now, I REALLY want to have you. I never thought I could get this excited, but I look forward to trying to seduce you again. Too bad, it will take me a little bit to try it; after all, I need to get you when you are unprepared." With that, she started to fade away. "You are going to wake up really soon, and I wanted to give you one last gift." After saying that, I felt her lips in mine, in a parting kiss. "Until next time kit."

I woke up to my white room, and I was very happy to be here, and not in a room with a round bed, or a forest. I looked down at my pants, saw what was there, and I decided to take a REALLY cold shower. I also noticed, as I was taking off my clothes, that I was sweating a lot, I knew the reason why, and I didn't like it. I decided that that day, I was going to make sure, that no girl, or woman ever fell in love with me. If they were even trying as half as hard as Prier, then I would be in some trouble.

Nothing interesting happened for a couple weeks. The only thing worth mentioning was when I heard a guy accidentally slam his head against the door. He was yelling something about being late, when he accidentally ran headfirst into the door. It provided me with a couple seconds of entertainment, but I quickly got bored again. I read about 12 more books; after all, what else am I supposed to do. I refuse to touch the "Icha Icha Paradise" books on the shelf though. I am NOT a pervert. So I mainly use those for target practice, when I want to increases the aim of stabbing my tail.

It was a while later when I started to wonder what happened to Prier. I mean, I know she wants to catch me when my guard is lowered, but how long does it take a demoness to prepare? I know she has to be smarter than me, so why is it taking her so long? I was still happy; after all, it meant that I didn't have to hear 'kit' so often. Where is the Old-Man anyway? Didn't he promise me someone to talk to me every now and then, so that I DON'T go insane? I have almost no books to read, and I know I am not getting any more of them, so I have to ration them. I never thought I would see the day that I would ever make sure I don't read the books, just so I have something to read later.

It has been a month since I last talked to the Old-Man. I know being Hokage would keep him busy, but I would like to know what is keeping him from finding someone to TALK to me. When I thought about it, it doesn't really surprise me. Parents probably don't want their kids to talk to me, so they forbid them from getting this mission. It wouldn't be the first time that parents have screwed me over, and I seriously doubt it would be the last. Adults are scared shitless of their own past, so they take it out on me, someone who can't defend himself. I sometimes hate my life.

I heard the sound of a latch unlocking, so I instantly look to the door. As all the chains, locks, and latches get unhooked, and the door swings open. I see an old face that brings back a couple old memories. And by 'old', I mean OLD! It was Old-Man Hokage, and he looked like he had aged a couple of years since our visit a couple months ago. "Hey, Old-Man, what the Hell happened to you?" I said in a concerned tone.

"Well Naruto, you know that mission I was going to give someone to talk to you, and keep you informed?" I nod my head, not knowing anything better to do. "Well, when some parents found out, I had to settle one or two riots that broke out. They were all chanting 'Death to the Demon Influence!' they seemed to think you somehow brainwashed me, and was finding a way to find you a vessel to control."

I looked dumbfounded. I knew the villagers hated me, but to think I could brainwash the strongest person in the village? They really are more paranoid than I am, and I am the one in a mental room! "Old-Man, if I could brainwash YOU of all people, why would they think they would stand a chance against me if they opened the door? Wouldn't common sense say that I would be able to tear them a new one?"

"Well Naruto, apparently, the person who started both riots was the same guy, and he was very drunk at both times." Said the Hokage in an amused voice. In a more serious one he told me "Naruto, if you decide to become Hokage, remember that there will always be someone who will hate you. As Hokage, I have such powerful enemies, that you would piss yourself at the sheer number of them; let alone how strong they are. The path of Hokage makes it so that you put everyone else before you, and that means you have to listen to both sides of the story, and do what you think is best.

Even though all the villagers wanted me to kill you, I didn't, because you were only a baby and didn't commit any sin. Even though I was outnumbered, I did what I thought was best for the village, not the villagers. You will have to make these life altering decisions on a daily basis. Some will be easier than others, but remember, everyone's blood will be on your hand. It is not an easy thing to think about, but that is the fact. Parts of being Hokage is being an executioner, whether I sentence them, or hold the killing tool, it is all the same. Because of what I did, someone or some people are going to die.

The hard part is weighing one side against the other and coming up with a decision. A lot of villagers left when I decided to let you live, and others harbored a secret hatred for me, just because I let you live. Remember one thing if you become Hokage, Naruto, 'People are stupid, but a person is smart.'"

I let all this sink in. Was the old man telling the truth? He probably was, after all, there is no point in lying to me about what he does. So, he admits that his hands are very bloody, all because of some decisions he had to make. He has a very stressful life, I realized, he makes the choice on who lives, and who dies, and who might potentially die. Could that be why he never took a wife? He didn't want her to become hated, or shunned or anything else bad. He did it for her, because he loves her so much. My respect for him increased about 3 times its original, because I know he is willing to give up his own happiness for the sake of others. I was going to be an even better Hokage than him; I decided that a long time ago, but now I know how hard it will be to do that. I looked forward to the challenge.

"Well Old-Man, thank you for telling me about what you have to do, it has given me a lot to think about. Maybe my mind won't just be wondering about how old you really are." I said in a joking tone.

He put on a face of mock anger, and yelled in a half assed voice "OLD! I'll show you old, charge!" he said as he tackled me to the ground. He and I just wrestled for a few moments, until he won, putting me in a pin. "How is that for 'old'?" he said in a satisfied voice. "All right, you win, but would you please get off of me?"

He just chuckled as he got off of me. "This 'Old-Man' can still put up his own in a fight; just remember that if you decide to ever fight me again." He said in a happy tone.

I was laughing, something I hadn't done in a month. It felt good, and he just reminded me of a grandfather. That is what he was to me, I realized, and old person you look to for wisdom, and fun. But you respect them, so it is all good, like a real grandfather. I had an ear to ear grin as I thought of how Iruka was my Father, and the Hokage was like a grandfather. I had my own family, and they cared for me, so I was going to be content in life.

"Hey Old-Man, how did that mission search go anyway?" I asked, and then I added, "Because I get really bored here, and I got nothing to do, or anything to look forward too."

He just looks at me, and says "Well, I found someone who is going to talk to you after school, I just don't know how often she will visit."

Warning bells were sounding off in my head. "Hold on a second…Did you say 'SHE"?" I asked very suddenly.

The Hokage gave me a look that said 'Well, it was the best I could do,' as he told me. "She was one of the few who wanted to take the mission, and the only one whose parents said it was ok." I tried to look through my mind, I couldn't figure out any girl who would want to talk to me.

I could only think of Sakura who had a very slim chance of even considering visiting me, let alone coming often. "Well Old-Man, who is it, I can't think of any girl who would want to visit me."

The Hokage just stood their, adding a few seconds to the drama of the moment. I really hated it when people did this, as though they were announcing I was going to die. "A girl by the name Hyuuga Hinata has volunteered to take up this mission." I could only stare at the Hokage. Hinata of all people has agreed to visit me on an annual visit. I am surprised that her father even considered letting me see his daughter, because I was pretty sure that he hated me with an intense burning passion.

"Old-Man, you are joking right? Hyuuga Hinata of the Hyuuga main branch family has gotten permission to visit a half demon on an annual basis? It is hard for me to believe that her father even considers letting her see me. After all, isn't she the heir? Wouldn't he be putting her in a known danger or some village nonsense like that?" I said in an uncertain voice.

"Look Naruto," said the Old-Man as though he were explaining to a complete moron. And in this case he was, because this was a little hard for me to swallow, so I didn't want to believe it. "She was the only one who was able to get signed permission from her parents that she could do an A-Rank mission. Let alone, one of the few who would even consider taking on the job of talking to you. After all, your mask does tend to drive people away from you."

I knew he was right. People find my mask pretty annoying, and there are times when I hate my mask, but I have to put up with it for my own safety. "Ok Old-Man, do you know when she is going to visit me first?" I asked, because beggars can't be choosers, so I had to live with it.

"Well Naruto, according to her, she will give you a visit tomorrow. After that, I have no idea when she is visiting, so you will have to inquire with her." I just stood there, after all what was I supposed to do? "Well, Old-Man, I appreciate what you did, but maybe you should cancel the mission."

The Old-Man gave me a hard look as he told me in a tone I could say, SCREAMED dangerous "Naruto…" he said really slowly and dangerously "This mission will continue. I didn't put down two riots and work as hard as I did, and finally put up with parents coming into MY office with the fact that I want someone to talk to you every once in a while, just so you can keep your sanity just so you could CANCEL IT!" by the end he was yelling at me, so I made a mental note to never anger the Hokage.

"Anyway Naruto," He said in a very calmed down voice "Do you really want to spend time alone with what little company you had?"

I thought about what he said for a moment, and decided that he still had no idea about me talking to the demoness inside of me. When I decided I didn't want to spend time alone with the demoness and the Old-Man once in a while, I realized that Hinata was going to be some good company, even if it is only for emotional support. I turn to the Hokage, as I reply "I see what you mean. Anyway, it would be good for me in the long run, after all, I need more company than I already get. (I made special care not to lie to him) So I suppose I would welcome Hinata. Anyway," I said brightening a little "I never got to know Hinata, so this will be a good time to get to know what she likes, dislike, and just plain get to know her."

The Old-Man just smiled, as he got up. "Well Naruto," he said sighing as he stood up, "Looks like I have to be off. I will see you whenever I have some free time. Until then, have a good time, and don't ever think you are alone in the world. There will always be at least one person who has to go through what you do. Good day Naruto." Those were the words he spoke before he departed. I just grinned; he always had some words of wisdom to say before he departed.

When he was completely gone, I slumped to the ground. So, the person who would be visiting me every once in a while, would be Hinata. I wondered what would happen, after all, she saw through my mask, at least, through some cracks in it, so I knew it would be pretty stupid to underestimate her. But then again, I also know that you should not underestimate anyone, no matter who they are, or what they look like. If there was one thing that mysterious cloud-nin taught me, it was not to underestimate anyone. My face hardened, as I thought what I would do to the guy when I finally got a hold of him. I would do a lot worse to him, than my dream self did to Sakura in my dream. This I swear on my nindo.

All of a sudden, the demoness in me decided to add to the conversation. 'Well kit,' she was saying to me 'when you finally get a hold of him, I would also like to add my two cents to him, for hurting my favorite container…' if one could grin inside their head, which was what Prier did. 'I am your only container,' I thought sardonically 'But I get what you mean, and I would like to thank you. I'm pretty sure you are even better at torture than I am.'

'Well kit,' thought Prier 'I will do anything to hurt the one who hurts you. After all, you can always do something special for me in return…' She let the dirty thought slide across my head. She knew what it would do to me, but I didn't care. 'Alright then, I do expect your help in hurting this guy. However, until then, we can only plan, and that is what I plan to do.' With that thought, I decided to go to sleep. I needed the days to come faster for me, if I was going to exact my revenge. 'Tell you what kit, I was thinking about visiting you tonight, but I decided against it, because you were kind enough to let me put my thought into torturing another human. You have my gratitude, so I won't visit you till tomorrow.' I thought about what she said, and I replied 'Thank you, I don't think I could have stopped you tonight. I will speak with you in the morning. Goodnight.' 'Goodnight kit, remember, I will always watch you and warn you of danger. I will help shape you into someone who should be feared and respected by all, and you will go down in history as someone greater than me. Goodnight.'

General Badaxe- Ok, I have decided to make all the chapters from this one on to be epic length, so that I have an excuse for long update times. If you have any ideas, please post me what they are, or tell me a flaw you noticed in my writing. If you want, you can act like a cheerleader, and say great story please update soon, I won't stop you. But I would appreciate reviews that helped me more than those any day.
