Hello Audience, I don't have much to say :D

Last time!

Naruto asked Kin to live with him, Naww. Kin was like Hmmm maybe, but then Orochimaru might go all snakey on his ass. Then Naruto was like 'LETS GO MEET EVERYONE!' and kin was like 'yeah, how could that not be a good idea' well here's how, Sasuke (our favourite emo) lit a fire up under her ass! Kakashi was less than impressed at this! And after that Kin asked Naruto about the seal!... exciting.

OoOoO

The two genin walked slowly toward the old apartment building in a comfortable silence, Kin glanced at the boy beside her and immediately felt her own mood drop at his image... he looks so broken, is the seal that big of a deal?

Naruto's eyes searched the floor thinking of all the ways that Kin would react to the Kyuubi, none were good, his pace slowed as they turned the last corner to the building, Kin noticed the slow in his steps and felt the tension rise, she knew she'd have to say something to try and put his mind at ease.

"You know no matter what you tell me about that seal, your still the guy who saved my life... the seal won't change that" she managed a smile as he seemed to perk up slightly at her words

"I hope so..." was all he said before the silence once again descended.

The two climbed the stairs, ignoring a whispering pair of women by the entrance to the building. As they neared the door Naruto dropped to his knee and lifted the plant pot to grab the key, Kin leaned against the wall opposite his door and watched the boy lean hard against the door, pushing his weight against it, she narrowed her eyes as he began to strain...cracks? she gently touched Naruto's arm to draw his attention silently and pointed at the cracks in the door frame.

Forced entry? Who would risk breaking into a ninjas apartment? A hushed whisper inside the room silenced any doubt in her mind... Naruto was being robbed. She glanced at the boy expecting him to beat the door down only to feel her heart drop, the defeated look in his eyes had returned ten fold... deep shadows covered his eyes, masking obvious pain he was feeling. She brought a finger up to her lips, he nodded slightly in response... she would handle the thieves.

OoOoO

Kin thought about her current situation... Scaling Naruto's apartment building to climb in through his bathroom window... how did it come to this? Stupid thieves... they'll get what's coming to them, how dare they break into Naruto-kun's apartment! Kin flinched at her own thoughts... Kun? Where did that come from? Am I getting soft? She shook herself free of her thoughts and focused on the matter at hand, she gently pressed her weight against the damaged window frame and felt it give slightly, she pressed her eye against the small hole to check if anyone was there... no, slowly she squeezed through the small hole and repositioned the window once inside. The bath room was small and dark, she was about to reach from the drawstring light when a voice on the other side of the door froze her, she focused chakra to her ears quickly and listened to the hushed voices... 2 men, the footsteps of another... young male, possibly a women... Not shinobi, that thought scared her more than anything.

"When the demon opens the door, give it everything you've got. Did anyone check the bathroom yet?" Demon?

"I'll do it now"

"hurry, it should be here soon" the seconds man scoffed under his breath then his footsteps began to approach the bathroom, Kin cursed under her breath and checked for a place to hide... the tub? This room is too damn small!

The door swung open and the male walked into the room, tearing down the shower curtain he checked the bath for any stray weapons, he sighed finding nothing and opened the medicine cabinet to find a few stray shuriken, he shut the bathroom door to see a few more shuriken buried deep into the wood, he smiled slightly and began to pull them out. As he grabbed the last one he noticed a near invisible string attached to it, he eyed it nervously and followed it to the roof of the room... attached to a small needle. He rolled his eyes and pulled the shuriken out of the door, causing the senbon to drop. He slapped the needle aside harmlessly failing to notice the small bell attached to it. The almost silent ding of the bell caused the man to fall into simple genjutsu, knocking him unconscious. Before he could hit the floor however the shuriken he held burst into smoke to reveal Kin holding the mans arm, stopping him for thudding against the floor. After lowering him into the bath slowly she tied him up and took a henge of him leaving the room with the gathered weapons.

"Find anything?" Kin coughed into her hand to test her tone before answering

"Not much, a few stars and a knife" she handed them to the man who seemed to be the leader, he smiled and handed them out amongst the five people present including herself. Two men a boy no older than Naruto and a woman...

These people are sick... why are they even doing this? She calmed herself down and stood where the ringleader told her, giving her a good shot of the door. She lowered herself into a ninja stance, kunai raised.

OoOoO

Just outside the door Naruto counted down in his head '3... 2... 1...' he closed his eyes and barged the door open with as much strength as he could gather, shards of wood splintered the room, causing a small gasp to escape a boys mouth, the fork that had jammed the door closed bounced across the floor until it landed at the foot of the ring leader who picked it up with a grin. Naruto eyed each of the five intruders in turn trying to seek out kin, immediately he noticed one stood in a ninja stance while the other took clumsy poses. A second later 4 weapons shot at the door, most missing completely, he made a shadow clone quickly which he used as protection whilst he flipped over a table. Usually he would wait until the attackers ran out of ammo and ran out the door... but Kin being over there changed the situation... amongst the curses aimed him he heard a small chime as a senbon hit the roof above him. The low level genjutsu was easily dispelled by him, but a few thuds on the other side of the room told him that the public were nowhere near as good at detecting or defending against genjutsu.

A few seconds passed before he decided to dare a look over the table, Kin was already tying up the intruders, a frown on her face promised death to them if they woke up. She glanced at him and immediately snarled in anger pulling out a kunai and brought it to one of their necks when a firm hand stopped her,

"Why are you defending them!"

"I have to..." she growled and shook her arm to try and her his grasp

"Why!"

"BECAUSE I WANT TO BE HOKAGE!" Kin jumped slightly at the volume of his voice but didn't immediately respond, she only stared at the civilians and then at Naruto again

"They don't deserve a Hokage like you... they don't even deserve your forgiveness" the boy sighed and picked up three of the bodies gesturing the fourth to her

"They'll have my forgiveness whether they want it or not" she shook her head, unable to understand him before heading to the bathroom, picking up the fifth civilian

"Where do we take them?"

"Oldman Hokages office, he told me to bring anyone there" Kin nodded in approval and headed toward the front door, grunting slightly under the weight of two older men.

OoOoO

"Naruto I feel like I have to apologise again, I haven't done a very good job of looking after you recently but as you know our resources are spread thin with the upcoming finals and-"

"Don't try and excuse it! He's one of your ninja! You should protect him!" Kin was livid... and beyond crazy. What the fuck am I doing? Shouting at a Hokage! Oh god I'm going to die... the last thing she expected was the man to laugh, his brittle laughter filled the room, she felt her anger rising once again and began yelling

"YOU'RE LAUGHING! HE WAS ATTACKED IN HIS HOME NOT 5 MINUTES AGO AND YOU'RE LAUGHING!" she saw him raise a hand to silence her and she quickly did... he may not be the most worthy of respect but he was the Hokage. She shifted her weight angrily from one foot to the other and folded her arms over her chest glaring that the man who was wiping tears from under his reading glasses

"Naruto. It seems you've made a friend" the man smiled fondly at the boy and then at the girl who was taken aback

"Hai Ojii-chan... This is Kin, she's from the village hidden in the sound" the old man nodded

"Welcome my young diplomat, you hold your ground well, especially in a foreign land and under the scrutiny of a Kage no less" she was clearly uncomfortable under his compliments as she looked away quickly, trying to retain her anger..

"I have heard many things about the sound village, how Is your Otokage? Well I hope" the old man smiled fondly as if recalling happy memories, when in reality the memories were all of his past student.

"H-hai Hokage-sama... very well, I'm surprised you were un-aware he was currently in the village" the man's face gave no element of shock or surprise. He chuckled again

"Oh dear child, we met up not long ago, but leaders never reveal their weakness to each other in person... it's a power play" she nodded

"Anyway I have a lot of work to be doing, so if you'd scurry on home" he shooed the two away but not before thrusting an envelope into Naruto's hand.

"a small reward, we've been trying to catch those simpletons for a while now. Can't have them disturbing the peace again" as he spoke he lowered his hat and walked back toward his office, his ever apparent smile disappeared as he entered the room and looked at the slowly awakening men.

"Now you're going to tell me who arranged for you to attack Naruto... You lack the resources to orchestrate this Fuji..." The ring leader quailed under the Hokages gaze and quickly began to give all the information he had on the man who had planned the attack.

OoOoO

Kin stared firmly at the blonde in front of her as they bounced from roof top to roof top, Why would they have attacked Naruto like that...? Her memory flashed... they called him a demon, what did they mean? Has Naruto done something? She quickly dismissed the idea, unable to think of anything that would be bad enough to merit a personal attack. She sped her pace slightly until she was on par with him, she eyed him with obvious worry in her eyes as they landed down outside the apartment together. Naruto seemed reluctant to enter the now destroyed room, he leaned against the opposite wall staring into the apartment, kin watched him for a few seconds before running her hand down his arm and gripping his hand gently pulling him to his feet she walked him through the doorframe and into the apartment straight into the bedroom, gently lowering him onto the bed, a few seconds passed in silence where neither looked each other in the eye.

"Kin... you need to go" her eyes widened at his words... He wants me to go?

"W-what?"

"It's not safe around me..." she relaxed slightly... He wants to protect me, but I can't just leave him

"Naruto, don't be silly... I'm a ninja, I'm used to danger" she cracked a small smile

"Plus those lot weren't dangerous at all"

"This isn't a joke Kin!" she lost her balance at the volume the boy suddenly used, landing on the floor she looked up at the boy who was staring at her angrily

"This time they were civilians! Last time there was a chuunin! Next time there might be a Jounin!" she felt her mouth open slightly

"Ninja have attacked you?"

"Dozens of them!" he stood up quickly and kicked a t-shirt on the floor into the wall

"Naru-"

"I want to tell you about myself" she stared at him only to see he wasn't meeting her eyes, she nodded slightly

"Hai..." he sighed and looked away, facing the wall while she stared at his back

"I'm not sure what you were told in Otogakure, about the Kyuubi" she drew her eye brows together

"Something about one of the Hokage killing it? But what does that have to do wi-"

"He didn't kill it... No one can kill a demon" she heard him take a sharp breath in

"He had to seal it into something to protect the village" she narrowed her eyes

"What did he seal it into?" a few seconds passed where the boy seemed to be fighting a battle inside of himself

"A baby..." Kin tilted her head in confusion before her memory clocked... Demon... seal... hate... Vessel...

"It was you..." the words the boy spoke were almost silent but unmistakeable

"You can go if you want..." there was an edge of pain to the voice that made Kin's heart throb, she stood up quietly and wrapped her arms around Naruto's stomach...

"You still saved my life... you're not a demon" the boy slumped helplessly against the wall in front of him, sobbing uncontrollably, kin felt herself welling up at the display... Am I the only one he's told? She felt a tear roll down her cheek and quickly wiped it against the boys back, I can't cry now...

"N-Naruto... I want to stay here with you" his sobbing turned to a weak laughter after a few minutes and soon the two were sitting at the table with a ramen cup, discussing creative ways of stealing Kin's clothes from the motel before night came...

OoOoO

Kin felt a smile tug at her lips, her and Naruto were bouncing along the roof tops toward his apartment, their plan to grab her equipment had gone off without a hitch, Dosu and Zaku were none the wiser. She cast a glanced over her shoulder at the blonde who was carrying a large duffel bag full of her clothes and felt her smile grow, Is this what it's like to be happy? The feeling was cut short when a familiar killer intent spiked to their left, both shook slightly but managed to stick their landing and cats a glare in the direction the intent was radiating from... seconds later several cloaked figures appeared around the building and closed in swiftly

"ANBU..." Naruto glanced at Kin who had closed the short distance between them and was now whispering in his ear... then as quickly as the intent appeared, it was gone. The ANBU hadn't even had a chance to make a move... Kin and Naruto watched to see if the projector would leave the building... but nothing. What seemed like hours passed before the ANBU approached the building with obvious caution...

"Uzumaki-san..." Naruto jumped at the sound of the voice

"H-hai!" he spun on his heel to meet a boar mask

"Did you witness the spike of KI in that building?"

"Hai"

"Did you recognise it?" Naruto scrunched up his face slightly but nodded slowly after a few seconds, the Anbu quickly brought a hand to his ear and whispered a few coded words and waited for the almost silent response in his ear piece.

"Alright, Uzumaki-san we need to bring you in for a brief report on where you felt this intent before and any information you can give us" Tired of being ignored Kin spoke up quickly

"Was there no-one there?" the ANBU didn't look at her

"I'm afraid this is a Konoha issue Sound-san." Kin bit back a retort as Naruto made a face

"She was with me when I felt the Killer Intent before though" the Boar masked man remained silent for a few seconds whilst he seemed to roll his eyes over Kin suspiciously. A few more mumbled words and he nodded to himself

"Okay... Uzumaki-san, you will escort this sound genin to the interrogation room, there you will be questioned for information regarding the KI" both genin were about to nod but before they could even begin the movement the man disappeared. Kin glanced at Naruto who scratched the back of his head

"Who'd have thought we'd end up at the interrogation room" he laughed nervously as she gave a smirk but lead the way toward the Hokage tower.

OoOoO
