Author's notes: The inspiration for this fanfic came from the best fanfic I have ever read which is two halves by dame wren (It's a girl by the way), just as a tip, if you do read that, she mentions about a sequel called twice shy but she never finished it and abandoned it so it is practically impossible to find so don't bother, oh and I've used her idea of Naruto and Hinata being sent away on pair training together. Anyway the time in which my fanfic takes place is starting at the last episode of Naruto and ending at the first of Naruto Shippuden or part 2 as some people like to call it so yea it's in the time jump. I had to invent some characters for this, so don't get mad if I write about a character that doesn't exist ok! Tell me if ya want me to continue this or I'll stop writing it ok!
Spoilers: the last 2 ep's of Naruto and the first ep of Naruto... um the one where he's older Shippuden or something? And maybe some techniques and flashbacks to random ep's.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or its characters and I do not expect to gain any profit from this fanfic.
Reason for rating: it has some mushy love stuff and some violent battles in later chapters and maybe some swearing.
Please review

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Naruto lie there thinking on his bed he realized that for the first time in his life he had a family, even if most of it wasn't a blood relation he still had a family.
Eventually he finally dosed off into the world of his dreams.
Naruto was in a small clearing in the forest, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and he felt happy. Just then the Kyubi appeared in his smaller form.
"Look's like were finally getting a family kabu" he said (kabu is Japanese for cub). Naruto was stunned for a moment the only person that ever called him that was…
"Onii-chan?" (Onii-chan is the Japanese word for older brother) questioned Naruto. What Naruto meant by Onii-chan was Onii-chan his childhood imaginary friend.
"Yes kabu I was Onii-chan" he paused for a moment remembering "It was the only was I could talk to you at the time"
Naruto smiled and hugged the Kyubi. "Kyubi…"
"Yes kabu?"
"Do you think that in time I could tell Hinata all this… that I hold you I mean" asked Naruto
"That, my kabu is one thing I can't help you with" replied the Kyubi
"I see"
The weeks went by and Naruto trained harder than ever learning all Kincho could teach him. One morning when Naruto awoke, it was 6:00 am he thought he might go to training yard for an early start. So he got dressed and ran to the training yard.
When he got there he found Kitsune pacing wile talking to herself.
"But I just found out, I don't want to push him… yes I know you want to see your dad but you should wait… what do you mean NO"
At first Naruto was puzzled by this, but when he realized she was only saying half the conversation he figured she was talking to Chibi-kiada.
"I'll let her see her dad" said Naruto chiming in
Kitsune gasped then said "Oh my… Naruto… I-I um… thanks"
"Come on let's let them temporarily use our bodies to talk" said Naruto. Kitsune nodded then they both went into their demonic forms. Naruto was encircled with the Kyubi's red chakra, some forming the 9 tails, his eye's replaced with the Kyubi's, his canine teeth lengthened into fangs and he gained claws.
Kitsune's transformation however was different, her tail and ears turned into fire, her feet turned into large paw's, her hands gained claws, her lime green eye's got a fox like look, her canine teeth lengthened into fangs and her clothes turned into red fur covering her entire body but ending at the top of her neck, her wrists and her ankles.
Chibi-kiada was the first to speak "Father?" she questioned.
A small tear ran down Naruto's cheek, it was from the Kyubi though "Yes my daughter" he said before bring her into a hug.
"I've missed you so much father" she said
"And I you" replied the Kyubi
"Can we see mother daddy" she asked breaking the hug
"No not yet not until Naruto informs Hinata of my existence" said the Kyubi in a sad voice.
"I hope he hurries daddy" she said
"Me to but I must go now as I do not want to presser Naruto to much" said the Kyubi. Then both teens transformed back into there normal forms and sat down under the tree in the training yard. Naruto sighed and leaned against the cool bark of the tree.
"We'd better go get something to eat" said Naruto
"Yea lil bro" said Kitsune then she smiled.
By the time they got inside Kincho and Hinata were up for an early start too and Hinata was making cinnamon toast for breakfast. The bread she used was so big and thick it could have been called a small cake.
"Good morning Naruto-kun… I hope you like the breakfast" said Hinata a little shyly. Naruto loved that in her she not to shy to act but shy enough to get the cutest little blush on her cheeks when she saw him.
"Hai Hina-chan it looks great" replied Naruto before going over and nuzzling her neck. Kincho was greatly puzzled by this and remembered she wanted to ask about the hand holding earlier.
"Um… you two are begging to freak me out… did something happen I missed?" asked Kincho with a puzzled look. Hinata giggled as Naruto smirked.
"Where a couple now" said Naruto still smirking.
"A WHAT?" yelled Kincho.
"A C-O-U-P-L-E" repeated Naruto.
"Good for you lil bro!" said Kitsune not thinking.
"Little bro?" questioned Hinata.
"Baka…" said Kincho under her breath.
"I… Um… You see…" Naruto interrupted before she could make an even bigger mess of things.
"It's a nick name! You see where both only child's who've lost our families so we figured we'd pretend to be brother and sister!" Naruto added his trademark grin for reassurance.
"Oh I see… that makes sense… glad you're finally getting a family Naruto-kun" said Hinata smiling.
Later on that day in the afternoon wile Naruto and Hinata were training Kincho was cooking up a plan. "Let me see… I think that's everything… yep my devious plan is in motion, operation get Naruto to tell Hinata about the Kyubi is a go!" said Kincho with a smirk. Kincho was standing near a window overlooking the training area. She sees that they are training with the mind connection and smiles, she then releases the jutsu she put on Naruto a few days ago (the thing so that Hinata can't sense the Kyubi when they use the mind connection) with a few quick hand signs.
"Now time to leave them alone…" said Kincho to herself "HEY NARUTO!! ME AND KITSUNE ARE GOING OUT FOR A BIT SOMETHINGS IN THE VALLY IT'S PROBABL ONOTHER BOAR THOUGH!!" she yelled at the two teens.
"OK!!" Naruto yelled back "Now Hina-chan let's try it again"
"Ok" replied Hinata. Hinata and Naruto turned on the mined connection and took there fighting stances, just then Hinata screamed and broke the connection.
"What? Hina-chan what's wrong?" asked Naruto
"T-T-That evil presence… I felt it, it's coming from you" said Hinata shaking. Naruto instantly new she meant the Kyubi, but how? The jutsu must have weekend somehow.
"Hinata come and sit under the tree with me…" they walked over to the tree and sat down, Naruto sighed and took off his shirt witch made Hinata blush. Naruto began to gather chakra and his seal appeared on his stomach.
"Naruto? What's this?" asked Hinata. Naruto sighed again then began to explain.
"Hinata I'm the holder the nine-tailed fox demon the Kyubi, he was sealed in me shortly after I was bourn that's why the adults hate me and there kid's just learnt off them… do you still love me even though I'm a demon?" he asked. Hinata sat there shocked for a moment before she began to speak.
"Naruto I've loved you since I first saw you and your not a demon he's sealed within you, this new information only makes me love you more for being so strong to hold a demon within you" said Hinata. This brought tears to Naruto's eyes he was so happy Hinata didn't hate him. By this time the sun had start to set and the sky was filled with color, it was also lightly raining so the remaining light made the trees leaves glisten. Naruto brought Hinata in for a kiss, he was now slightly taller than Hinata so had to lean down. Hinata was so happy se gladly gave in to the kiss. Naruto went on to tell Hinata anything else he hadn't told her. By the time he was finished they were both very tired, so Naruto scooped Hinata up in his arms bridal style and began to carry her inside, Hinata just leaned on Naruto bear chest and closed her eyes he was so warm.
When they got to Naruto's room he put her on the bed and went to fetch her sleep wear. When he was back he handed them to Hinata and went into his walk-in closet to get changed. When they were both ready for bed Naruto lay down next to Hinata pulled up the covers and wrapped his arms around her, they both lay there and slowly fell asleep.
When Naruto was in his dream he seemed to be wearing some sort of kimono, it was a bright orange with red hems at the bottom and at the end of the sleeves it also had a small fox symbol on the left sleeve. Naruto was in the some room he first kissed Hinata in except it was different the shadows seemed a lot larger and the fire was just coals. Naruto looked at the doorway expecting Hinata to come through in that lovely purple kimono but instead she came though the door in her ninja wear, her left shoulder was limp with a kunai sticking out of the top, her close were ripped here and there, she was limping and was covered in blood.
"Hinata!" yelled Naruto as he ran to her. Hinata collapsed but Naruto caught her before she hit the ground. Hinata coughed up some blood then said "you traitor…" then she fell limp in Naruto's arms. Naruto knew it was just a dream but… but it hurt. He sobbed into Hinata's hair witch was now very long, not knowing what to do. Just then the Kyubi appeared (in his mini forum) and yelled "Get away from her NOW!!" in shock Naruto dropped Hinata then retreated to beside the Kyubi.
"What's going on?" said Naruto wiping the tear's away.
"Just watch…" replied the Kyubi. Hinata was then shrouded in shadows, they looked kind of like a thick black mist or fog. They wrapped themselves around her so thick you could no longer see her then pushed her into an upright position, as they cleared Naruto's eye's went wide it was… it was…
It was the dream eater she raised an eyebrow and said "Oh come now you didn't think that amateur jutsu would keep me at bay for long did you?" she laughed then the shadows encased her again and she took on the form of a very evil looking Hinata. She was wearing a black dress… With RED CLOUDS!!
"Does this forum suet you?" she said.
"You won't hurt my friend!" said the Kyubi
"Aa yes the fox I've got something special for you" she clicked her fingers and the shadows encased the Kyubi and devoured him. "It's just you and me now Naruto" she said
"I…I can't…" Naruto began
"Can't hurt your precious Hinata Naruto? I warned you now you'll pay the price!" She gathered a dark energy ball in her right hand. "Eat this! She yelled, then threw the ball Naruto's stomach. Naruto was encased in the dark energy but what he didn't like was beyond all the pain was the feeling that he liked this new energy. Naruto screamed in pain and fell to the ground. The dream eater, still disguised as Hinata, walked over to Naruto and lent down and kissed him. Instantly Naruto was filled with dark energy and he wanted more, he pressed into the kiss wanting more of the dark energy. Just then the Dream eater broke the kiss and said "If you want more then come find me, I'm close"
Naruto woke up with a start he was being shaken by Hinata she was yelling his name. "H-Hinata?" said Naruto.
Tears rolled down Hinata's cheeks "You're all right! You were screaming in your sleep" she hugged Naruto tightly. Just then Kitsune and Kincho burst through the door.
"What in the Name of the 4th is going on!" yelled Kincho.
Naruto gulped "It's the dream eater she's back!" said Naruto still trying to get a firm grip on reality. Kitsune then screamed and pointed a shaking finger to Naruto's right hand. It had some sort of black curse symbol wrapped around the middle finger, it was in the shape of a black snake spiraled around Naruto's finger.
"I've seen this before" began Kincho "It's a curse where you're given what's called a black pod it's implanted in your heart then you're given a dose of dark energy, after that the more mean or evil thing's you do the more it grows, until it consumes you and you become a being of darkness… the worse part is it's a very flexible curse so extra thing's can be added… Naruto get dressed and go to my room I need you to tell me EXACTLY what happened" by this time Kitsune and Hinata were wide eyed, Naruto got up and started to get ready then headed to Kincho's room.
After a lot of explaining, talking and references to books Kincho finally worked it out "Ok Naruto here's the deal when she threw the dark energy ball at you she implanted the black pod, then when she kissed you (Naruto blushed at this part) she gave you the necessary dark energy and as for what she added… it would seem she want's you be her side the more you fall to the darkness the more you'll want to be with her…"
"Wait I thought she was working for the Akatsuki?" questioned Naruto
"It would seem she either has an agreement with them or betrayed them… witch one though I am not sure" said Kincho
Naruto needed to talk to Hinata that dream had seriously deserved him "I'm going to go talk to Hinata, can I skip training for today?" asked Naruto
"Sure Naruto just remember be careful what you do" replied Kincho
"Yea…." Said Naruto glumly as he walked out of the room. He found Hinata talking to Kitsune in her room.
"Hinata?" said Naruto
Hinata rushed to Naruto and hugged him thankful he was ok "Oh Naruto I was so worried!" she said
"I'd better go" said Kitsune and walked out of the room shutting the door behind her.
"Hinata we need to talk" Naruto felt guilty for wanting more of that kiss… he had to tell Hinata even if she hated him, although he hoped she didn't. He and Hinata sat down on the bed and he continued "Hinata when I was in that dream… the one with the dream eater… she kissed me in order to inject the dark energy for the cures… and I feel guilty… I mean I love you more than anything but… but I liked it… I wanted more, I know it's just part of the curse but…but" Naruto stopped he couldn't say any more
"Naruto I…I" Hinata was angry inside she knew it was the curse but it still hurt, tears rolled down her cheeks and she felt this burning in her stomach, without warning she gave in and slapped him then stormed out. Naruto was hurt badly, not physically but in his heart. He clenched his chest and ran to his own room and cried. As he lay there on his bed he did the only thing he could think of for comfort… he turned to the Kyubi. He closed his eyes and disappeared into the passageways of his mind.
"Kyubi?" Naruto sniffed
"Yes my kabu I know…" the Kyubi was then wrapped in his chakra and turned into his mini forum. Naruto moved to the edge of the bars and the Kyubi held him as best he could without leaving the seal. A few minuets passed and then the Kyubi spoke up "Naruto you can't stay here forever you need to go talk to her…"
"Your right… thank you..." Naruto then opened his eyes and returned to reality, he sighed then got up to go talk to Hinata. He looked until lunch but she was nowhere to be found, Naruto began to get worried but thought it best to let her cool off and returned to his room. He lay on his bed and thought of what to do next. Just then Kincho walked into the room with a cup of steaming ramen "Naruto? I brought you some lunch?" she said.
