Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto… So I must become an orange. Big thank you to all who reviewed. But I don't love you all equally kidding. And if anyone could tell me how to make a poll that would be awesome.
"Tsunade"
Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with a levelled gaze letting out a sigh before placing her saucer of sake on her desk, she knew there had to be another reason other then wanting to drink. She rubbed the sides of her head, closing her eyes; she was definitely getting too old for all these discussions.
"Does she know about the fox" She noticed how serious he was and eyed the bottle of sake sitting in the middle of the desk.
"No he hasn't told her yet but I think he plans to soon" She grabbed the bottle of sake and took a swing from it, slowly slumping into her chair, yeah definitely too old.
"Tsunade want if she… reacts well badly to the news?"
"She won't, she likes him to much to care about what's inside of him"
"Yes but what's inside of him is the most powerful of the tailed beasts" He grabbed the bottle sake out of her grasp and took a swing from it before handing it back to her. "And I've been meaning to ask is she… well is she a Uzumaki?" Tsunade's eyes widened at that as she emptied the bottle of sake.
"Truthfully I don't know she doesn't remember her past at all, she can't remember who her parents were or if she even came from a clan. I guess you'll have to find out while training her won't you" Tsunade reached under her desk, producing two new bottles of sake handing one to Jiraiya as they both took a swing.
"Were too old for this," they said in unison before letting out sighs and empting their bottles of sake.
He slowly cracked his eyes open waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness of the room, his body hurting all over one of the after affects of using the fox's chakra, he slowly raised his right hand wincing from the pain the movement caused as he reached for Tayuya who he could, feel was holding onto his left arm head resting on his chest like usual. As he brought his hand up to rest it lightly around her shoulders, he felt her shift slightly and heard her let out a small whimper before he tightened his grip around her shoulders, pulling her closer to him and as she stopped he let out a small sigh.
He didn't know what to do as he stared at the ceiling listening to the sound of Tayuya breathing steadily thinking over what the fox had said, he knew he had to tell her about the fox, but he wondered if maybe the fox was right and she wouldn't care. He didn't think it was likely though, he couldn't help but let out another sigh as he decided he would do it in the morning, after which he would give her the flute he had gotten for her.
Naruto had a nightmare filled sleep that night of Tayuya turning her back on him telling him he was a monster and that he should die, the hatred was evident and the mistrust he could feel apart of him break as the dream repeated itself over and over again. An endless re-run of Tayuya hating him because of what he had inside of him.
His eyes shot open as he let out a gasp, he could feel the sweat clinging to his skin it had seemed so real, he was glad it wasn't as he could feel the warmth of Tayuya by his side still resting peacefully it seemed, she even had a small smile on her face. He couldn't help but smile as he looked down at her, seeing her smiling was rare but it was one of the greatest things he had ever seen but as he thought about what he planned to do when she woke up a frown slowly spread across his features.
"Kit stop worrying it will be fine" he heard the fox grumble in his head, he didn't understand how the fox could possibly know this even if he was a thousand-year-old demon it just didn't seem likely that she wouldn't hate him. He winced slightly as she pressed closer causing the pain he constantly felt multiply, maybe he had used the fox's chakra for too long or maybe he had used to much as his body still ached.
He looked towards the door as it creaked open, as Shikamaru walked in with a bored expression on his, Naruto was shocked that he was here the last time being two weeks ago, were he and Tayuya had a yelling competition. Which had resulted in him being hit and having to listen to Tayuya complain about Pineapple head fucks and their blonde bimbo girlfriends; not a pleasant memory.
"Uh what are you doing here Shika?"
"Well I heard what happened last night so I came by to see how you were doing" Shikamaru casual said it looking as if he was about to fall asleep, that was until he noticed that Naruto wasn't alone in his hospital bed. "Naruto… why is she in your bed?" he raised one eyebrow as he asked.
"Oh well this is how we usually sleep…" Naruto slowly trailed off as he looked down at Tayuya.
"So what you too are together or something?"
"Uh wha-what no were not together why would you say that" Naruto let out a nervous laugh. He froze as Tayuya yawned before smiling and snuggling into him which again caused him to wince.
None of which went un-noticed by Shikamaru who looked him over with a calculating gaze.
"You like her don't you"
"What no I don't what would make you say that" another nervous chuckle from Naruto, yep he definitely liked her thought Shikamaru before he shook his head; he was getting off topic here.
"Naruto there is another reason why I came by. It's was to warn you that Sasuke's looking for a fight, he's trying to prove it was a fluke that you were able to beat him and bring him back. And I over heard him talking to Sakura and Ino, he told them who Tayuya was" Shikamaru said it all with a leveled voice as he looked at Naruto who seemed to be deep in thought.
Naruto slowly sat up bringing Tayuya with him cradling her in his arms, with her sitting in his lap with her arms in her lap and her head resting on his shoulder; wow she was a deep sleeper.
"Well I guess I'll have to give him another beat down and as for Sakura and Ino if they try to hurt Tayuya-chan they'll have to go through me first" Naruto said with his trademark fox grin on his face. "I'm not going to let her get hurt if I can help it"
Shikamaru looked at him then at Tayuya who he couldn't believe made Naruto happier then he had ever seen him, he was tempted to make another jab at Naruto as he realised Naruto said Tayuya-chan, but thought it was to troublesome.
"Well be careful knowing Sasuke he'll try something before your healed, and I'll see you again in about a week I've got a mission from Tsunade to go find someone in a nearby village" and with that Shikamaru walked out the room once again with a bored expression on his face with the speed of a snail.
Naruto thought about what Shikamaru had said and what he was going to do, if he didn't hold back he might be able to beat Sasuke in his injured state, and knowing Sakura and Ino they were most likely going to do something stupid and reckless Sakura more likely, as Ino seemed to be less interested in Sasuke these days and more into Choji surprisingly. But that still left Sakura which was worrying as she worked in the hospital now luckily she didn't know where his new house was… well at least he didn't think she knew.
But first he had to take care of Sasuke and make sure he couldn't ever threaten him or Tayuya ever again, but how could he do that. He was sure if Sasuke openly attacked him the council couldn't do anything to him, as attacking a fellow shinobi without reason was treason.
He was so deep in thought he didn't realise Tayuya was slowly waking up as she stretched out her arms in front of her, before wiping off the small amount of drool that was always there. As she slowly blinked her eyes open and looked around quickly noticing she wasn't laying down but was sitting… in Naruto's lap, a blush spread across her face as she noticed that his arms were around her holding her against his chest almost protectively.
She realised he had been told something as she looked up to see him deep in thought, what the fuck was with people talking to him before she was awake whenever they were in this fucking hospital seriously what the fuck.
"Shithead what's wrong?" she asked lightly
Hearing her voice snapped him out of his thoughts as he blinked before looking down at Tayuya, seeing the look of concern she had on her face.
"Oh Shikamaru jus-"
"You mean pineapple headed fuck" Naruto couldn't help but smile as Tayuya interrupted him.
"Right well pineapple headed fuck" he paused to see the smirk Tayuya had on her face at getting him to swear and took that as the go ahead to continue. "He came by too see if I was okay and to tell me that Sasuke wants to fight… and that he told two people who basically worship him, well one who worships him who you are" As Naruto finished a frown spread across Tayuya's face.
"But your injured and how does he even know I'm here we haven't seen him at all around the village" She said with a slight anger filled tone.
Naruto had been wondering how he knew Tayuya was here as well but hadn't dwelled on it for long.
"Tayuya-chan it doesn't matter Sasuke will most likely try to get at me while I'm like this and Sakura, that's the girl who basically worships him will most likely try and get at you, but I wouldn't worry about her, your definitely stronger then her. But I'm slightly worried that Ino might tell people who you are, she's a bit of a gossip queen, and so even if she doesn't worship Sasuke again she'll most likely tell someone about you. And then that well spread around the village like wildfire" Naruto looked at her trying to gauge her response.
Tayuya looked down at her hands as she took in what Naruto had said to her as she mulled it over in her head.
"So what your saying is a Emo faggot is going to attack you while your injured and some fan girl bitch is going to try and attack me while I can't walk, while a stupid gossiping bitch tells people who I actually am?"
"Uh yeah more or less" Naruto said followed by a small smirk. Now came the part he hadn't been looking forward to all morning. He turned his head away from her, not finding the courage to look in her eyes as he spoke.
"Tayuya I need to tell you something… you know about the tailed beasts right?" Tayuya nodded her head of course everyone knew what the tailed beasts were. "Well did Orochimaru ever tell you about how to Nine-tailed fox attacked Konoha?"
"Yeah he mentioned something about the Fourth Hokage defeating it,"
"Well that's not the full story you see the Fourth couldn't kill the nine tails… so he sealed it away in a newborn baby" Naruto gulped nervously as he prepared for her reaction. "That newborn baby was me…" Naruto was afraid to look her in the eye as he thought back to the nightmare he had. But as he felt a hand place itaelf on his cheek slowly turning his face to look down, he slowly placed his over it as he looked into Tayuya's chocolate brown eyes.
"I'm sorry" was all she said before she wrapped both her arms around his neck holding herself against him as he slowly brought his arms around her, warm tears slowly leaking from the corners of her eyes, burying his face in her hair as he held onto her tightly, not truly believing she didn't hate him.
"I told you she wouldn't hate you, just because I'm a demon doesn't mean I don't know love when I see it"
Naruto smiled as he heard the voice of the fox start to ramble on about how it knew this would happen and that It was right and he was wrong, but at that moment he didn't really care as he held Tayuya to his chest realising he felt something more then friendship towards her… but feelings could wait until they had left the village.
He slowly pulled away from her looking at her face and noticed she was crying.
"Hey Tayuya-chan don't cry… your too beautiful to cry" he said smiling down at her.
She sniffled slightly as she heard that he actually thought she was beautiful, as she tried to control her tears bringing her emotions back under control, letting a frown spread across her face as she smacked him on the back of the head
"You idiot how could you not tell me about this sooner!" she screamed at him as he lightly winced at the volume of her voice and the smack to the back of his head he didn't understand girls at all. One minute she was crying the next she was yelling and hitting him, Shikamaru was right girls were troublesome.
"Didn't you trust me!" she continued to yell at him but he started to notice tears leaking from the corners of her eyes. "Didn't you trust me" she whispered it this time as she looked away from him.
Naruto placed one arm around her shoulders and the other around her midsection as he pulled her close towards his chest lightly stroking her red hair as he didn't know what to do.
"Tayuya-chan I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd hate me" he whispered lightly she pulled away from him and looked at the down cast expression on his face.
"Hate you I lo-like you… you're the first person who ever wanted to be my friend… I could never hate you" she blushed lightly as she looked away, she had almost confessed her feelings and she didn't feel like having that conversation yet not at all.
"I like you too Tayuya-chan, now lets get back home I need a change of clothes and I've got something for you" Tayuya looked at him with a curious expression on her face.
"You got me a gift?"
"Yep but I'm not telling you what it is" he said with a cheeky smile on his face.
"Then lets get going what the fuck are we waiting for" Tayuya said excitedly dying from curiosity.
"Okay I'll just leave a note for Ba-chan so she doesn't have a heart attack when she sees that we've left"
"I'm waiting Shithead" Tayuya said impatiently as she sat on the couch in the living room as she could hear Naruto rummaging around in their room, honestly who forgets were they put someone's gift.
"Okay I found it" she heard him say before she heard a slight poof followed by his footsteps heading towards her.
"Tayuya-chan you've got to see it the walls good as new, but first" he stepped around the through the door standing in front of her. "Here"
Tayuya let out a gasp as he held a jet-black and what she assumed was some type of metal flute in his hands, out stretched towards her. She gently reached for it and plucked it from his hands before holding it up to her face looking over its gleaming features.
"It's… amazing" she said breathlessly as she traced a finger along it's surface, amazed at how smooth it was.
"You got this for me" she whispered lightly
"Of course since your old one was destroyed I thought you could use a new one, but I'm going to go but something on, this gown is really uncomfortable I'll get a change of clothes for you as well Ba-chan said she left some for you in one of the drawers.
As Naruto slowly got dressed he looked at the second gift he had gotten for her and wondered if she would like it as much the flute. He decided he'd find out soon as he got out some clothes for Tayuya, and couldn't help but blush as he got out a bra and panties for her as well, he used everyone ounce of will power to not check what cup size it was as he walked out the room as quickly as he could.
As his blush started to fade and he heard something from the living room and it became clearer as he got closer, it sounded beautiful as he slowly walked towards the door and peaked around the corner to see Tayuya with the flute to her lips eyes closed as she played the most amazing piece of music Naruto had ever heard.
Tayuya was happy as she played her flute completely oblivious to the world around her as he fingers danced across the flute getting back into her rhythm. As she ended and opened her eyes she realised Naruto was sitting across from her in an armchair leaning towards her slightly with a captivated look on his face.
"What was that song?"
"Oh… that wasn't a song I was just playing how I felt" she whispered blushing lightly, she'd never had someone listen to her just play her flute jutsu's mostly sounded daunting, and more properly suited to be played at a funeral.
"Oh well it sounded amazing… I uh put your clothes on the bed" he said as he stood up without wincing the pain slowly fading but still there, he could do basic things like sit or walk without it hurting anything else still hurt incredibly. He picked her up and carried her to their room and sat her on the bed I'll be on the other side of the door just say when your done" he said before hastily leaving, closing the door behind him.
Tayuya looked down at what he had picked out for her; a long sleeved white shirt, with black spandex shorts. She blushed lightly a pair of white panties and a white bra, and a… Black cap. She looked at the final article of clothing before a smile spread across her face as she reached for it and felt the softness of it, he had gotten her a new cap as well.
"I'm done" Naruto heard her call through the door as he opened it slowly, and peered around the edge of the door and he felt his jaw fall open as he saw her. The shirt clung to her torso as the shorts clung to her thighs, only reaching about mid thigh. But as he looked up towards her face he couldn't believe how sexy she looked with the black cap he had got her pulled over her head, her hair covering her ears slightly as a single lock of hair hung between her eyes.
She let out a slight giggle as she noticed his expression.
"So how do I look?" she asked
"Qjwfnbuwbeov… I mean you look good" Naruto smiled at her even if he sounded like a complete idiot; at least she seemed to like the cap.
And that's another chapter done if my description of her sucked oh well imagine how ever the fuck you want just no orange jumpsuit for Naruto… just no on that. So review sorry for mistakes and typos.
