Hey guys! Sorry this took so long, but I'm at the beach right now and my inspiration returned so here it is!

"Let's go." the fox girl told them before moving.

The half kit stopped near the edge of a cliff. Turning around, she waited on her two human companions to catch up. It had been a rather quiet week of ceaseless travel. The pair of pink and blond planted their feet in front of her and she couldn't help but giggle as Naruto collapsed onto his back while Sakura's knees gave out. There was no doubt that neither of them had ever traveled like this. "I'm impressed." she stated, earning exhausted glares. "You have been surviving on adrenaline and soldier pills since we left. Even your Fourth Hokage fainted by day four on this exact trip from the whole concept of no sleep."

"The Fourth?" the blond questioned uncertainly, all signs of wear slowly leaving his figure as his mind grasped the concept.

Silver smiled, "Yes, the Fourth. Now, let's get you two to a bed shall we?" The pinkette jumped to her feet at the thought of sinking into a dreamless sleep, but quickly regretted it as the world began to spin. "Haruno, you can't simply enter my village." Removing the bell from her neck, she swiftly tied it into a choker on the girl. "I have been channeling chakra into this for the last week. It will identify you as a friend and actually let you enter." Here the red head grinned mischievously as she took a flying leap over the edge of the cliff.

"Wait!" the pair yelled in unison, fearing that she would go crashing to her death as neither could see the bottom of the cliff.

The Kayou laughed at the pair as she seemed to stand on nothing but air, motioning them to come forward. Sakura seemed to catch onto the game. This is nothing more than a genjutsu. She quickly set about making the hand signs to release it. "Stop." came the firm warning. "First you must walk to me." The pinkette cautiously placed a foot over the edge, feeling solid ground beneath her feet, she crept slowly towards the girl ahead.

"Sakura! You'll fall!" Naruto cried out, still not grasping the situation.

Swallowing her laughing fit, "Just walk on out Uzumaki." Silver called. He looked at her like she was insane, before following his teammate's example and heading towards their new sensei. Once they arrived next to her, she turned around before making one hand sign with her right hand, "Kai." she stated softly, before a harsh wind blew passed them causing her human companions to shield their eyes.

Naruto heard his friend gasp and he couldn't blame her, they were now standing on a stone walkway and barely twenty yards before them rose black iron doors. He edged his way along the path, staying close behind their guide. They came to a smaller set of doors, only about 12 feet tall, within the larger doors. He had known she was not fully human, but now he had his proof. Silver Kayou took a moment to release her fox traits before opening the door. On her head sat a pair of fox ears, her blood red eyes became even more feral as her slitted pupils became more defined, whiskers found their way to her cheeks, incisors grew into fangs and nails lengthened into claws.

Sakura darted behind Naruto, she had never seen anything like this before. She couldn't even begin to define the medical concepts behind creating something like the girl before her. She was half fox and it scared her. "So Tsunade-san didn't tell you." the half-kit stated as she stared at the girl. "Taishu is a village of Nine-tailed Fox. Naruto is here to learn how to control the fox sealed within him and you are here to learn the medical knowledge required to keep him alive should he do something incredibly foolish."

The Haruno backed up from the pair, "The Kyuubi killed my father!" she yelled.

Silver sighed, "It seems there is only one way to do this." She flexed the claws on her right hand and they began to glow, then she slammed them into the blonde boy's gut before pulling her arm back and throwing something at the door. Naruto fell to the ground unconscious as the pinkette stared in horror. Slowly rising from the ground was a smaller version of the Kyuubi. "Now, you will listen to the truth." the half-kit told the Haruno.

The fox shook its fur seeming to relish the feeling. "It is good to feel the ground with my own paws, Hime." The girl nodded to him with a smile. "Now Ms. Sakura, for your information. It was not my choice to attack your village. I was being controlled by one whose name I shall not mention now. He has a great deal of anger towards your village and attacked my host at her weakest moment, unsealing me and forcing me to kill. I hope that by the time you return to your village you will have a new-found respect for my kind." with that he nodded and began to turn, but was stopped short by cough.

"You're forgetting your host." The Kyuubi dropped his head in defeat as he turned to retrieve the boy. "Now Sakura. Are you going to enter easily or do I have to force you within my walls. The agreement between the villages requires me to teach you the medical knowledge you will need for Uzumaki, and it is against our nature to go back on an agreement." The pinkette nodded before following the trio inside the iron gate.

Naruto groaned as he woke up. He felt like he'd been asleep for years! Slowly his eyes rolled open only to come face to face with a red muzzle. The blonde jumped from the bed and clung to the hanging lamp from the ceiling. "Get down from there before you break something!" the fox yelled as Naruto heard cracking and quickly let go of the lamp, dropping back down to the bed. The red fox sighed and shook his head. "You're lucky I'm not allowed to kill you."

"Who are you?" asked the human.

"I'm hurt you don't recognize me boy." the fox grinned, sharp teeth showing proudly. "One would think you would recognize the one who had been sealed inside you for 17 years."

"Kyu-Kyuubi!"
