Helur!
We do not own Naruto, nor its characters. If we did, we wouldn't be here now would we?

Snow White
and
Rose Red
Naruto sat across from the dark-haired woman and demon, fiddling with his shirt hem. Sasuke and Sakura had been banned from the room.
"Can you talk to Kyuubi?" Haruna asked forcing Naruto to nod slowly. "I mean can you talk to him right now?" Naruto tilted his head to the side, as if listening. After a minute of silence, Naruto shook his head.
"Alright, I want you to close your eyes for a moment. Now try to find Kyuubi. Have you found him?" Naruto nodded, seeing the open cage door that led into Kyuubi's lair. Creeping past the creaky cage door, he stopped just in the doorway. In the center of the cave, Kyuubi sat on a mound of pillows. His tails twitched as Naruto approached.
"Now Naruto, Yuu and I are going to follow you in, don't be surprised with we materialize behind you." Naruto felt Haruna touch his hand in the library and heard the small pop that spoke of her arrival. Within seconds, Kyuubi was standing between the 'trespassers' and Naruto.
"Who are you? How did you get here?" Kyuubi growled violently. Kyuubi's golden eyes began to bleed from the pupils as his anger increased. His red-orange fur glistened as his muscled bunched beneath. His tails swirled dangerously behind him.
Yuujin walked forward and placed a hand on Kyuubi's snout. It glowed a soft green and Kyuubi relaxed slightly. Kyuubi and Yuujin stared into each other's eyes for a moment. Kyuubi was the first to separate, snorting as he turned back to his pillows, pushing Naruto with him. Settling back down on his pillows, Kyuubi grabbed Naruto's shirt with his teeth and sat Naruto next to him, curling his tails around the boy protectively.
"What da ya want?" Kyuubi grunted, his head curling around Naruto's body, resting on his legs. Haruna approached until Kyuubi growled. She stopped where she was and looked at Kyuubi.
"Why did you not heal Naruto this afternoon?" Kyuubi snapped to attention, lips curling back and growling at the wall.
"None of your business." He spat.
"He nearly died." Haruna spoke softly.
"He was fine. His friends were there to take care of him." Kyuubi grunted, still avoiding looking at anyone.
"Your power is weak Kyuubi. You're planning something that is going to change Naruto's life forever. I think he deserves to know what it is." Yuujin spoke up, quietly and evenly. Haruna looked at Yuujin quickly before understanding. Her eyes grew hard.
"Naruto deserves to know." She demanded. Kyuubi growled, face snapping to hers as his eyes began to turn red.
"Kyuu? What's going on?" Naruto laid a hand behind Kyuubi's ear. Kyuubi turned back to the boy, calming himself.
"I'm getting ready to merge our power." He said simply. Naruto looked at him, confused. "Once that happens, you will have complete control over my chakra as well as your own."
"And…?" Haruna urged. Kyuubi growled again, avoiding looking at his kit.
"And then I will be gone." Naruto stiffened.
"You'll be gone? Like forever? But, I don't want you to leave." Naruto could feel the pinpricks in his eyes, a telltale sign of tears. He forced them down.
"I'm never going to be released, I'm too dangerous and me being trapped inside you just makes others hate you. When I do this, you will be safe from almost everything."
"But –" Naruto started. Kyuubi interrupted.
"You'll be strong enough to be the Hokage of all the villages if you want. No one will give you rotten food or refuse to serve you. You won't be attacked because of me and you'll not have to live in that hole you call an apartment. You can actually get a nice place."
"But Kyuu –"
"You can live a semi-normal life after this. It's the best thing for us both. Naruto yanked on one of Kyuubi's ears, causing him to let out a (very manly) yip of pain.
"But if you do, I'll be lonely." Naruto said. Kyuubi ears snapped to attention. "You practically raised me with Iruka. You trained me, helped me whenever I needed it. You're the closest person – er demon- to me. I don't care what advantages I might get from merging chakras. You're more important." Kyuubi looked at his little blond kit. The boy was smiling softly at the demon. Kyuubi pushed his snout to the boy's chest and made a deep rumbling sound in his throat. (He was a fox demon damn it. He didn't purr.)
"If you don't mind," Haruna interrupted. "I have another way for you to protect your kit." The fox demon and the blond turned to look at the grinning ninja. "I just need to tell the Hokage first. I'll leave you two to your family moment." Naruto felt her let go of his hand in the physical world and watched them dematerialize out of his mind.
Well, I was reading some of the comments left by ya'll and I think I have a question to answer for you. Yes there will be lemon. Sooner or later. There is already a lime written and will show up in a chapter or two. - Rose
And yes coffee is good. - Snow.
LOVE from us both!
