Hinata jumped out of the water a third time. She had her Byakugan on as she continued to look around franticly. Nanabi then appeared next to her.

"What is it? Did you find Naruto-kun? Or a trace of him at least?" Hinata asked.

"No. I have found nothing." Nanabi said.

"Oh no! Naruto-kun might be dead!" yelled Hinata.

"He's not dead. He's somewhere around here." Nanabi lied.

"That's great! I'd better keep looking! He might be disguising himself as a rock or something!" said Hinata as she jumped back into the water.

Nanabi sensed the great surge of chakra Naruto used, and knew he wasn't here. But she didn't like Hinata that much, as she was a obsessed psychotic twisted fan girl. Nanabi had more important things in mind. Namely Kyuubi.

Upon seeing her mate again, the millions of years they spent together rushed back into her mind. Including the moment he broke her heart. All that pent up anger was impossible to hold back, so she unleashed it on him like she wanted to. She did want to, didn't she?

That's what she's so confused about. 18 years ago he was a ruthless killer who killed their newborn kit without a second thought. He then beat her to a state where she could barely move, and much later a guy in a mask came and put her in a container of some sort.

But when she attacked Kyuubi, just hours ago, he was different. He seemed like the Kyuubi she knew and loved, not the ruthless killer she had previously seen. He wouldn't even fight her back! She could've killed him any time she pleased, but she just couldn't. Maybe that was why. She knew one thing. She had to talk to her mate as soon as possible.

"Hinata!" she called.

"What is it? Did you find something?" Hinata asked as she got out of the water.

"Yes, he's in Konoha. Let's go. Now." Nanabi replied.

-----In the Konoha courtroom-----

Naruto and Sasuke sat quietly waiting for the judge to appear. Sakura and Karin sat behind them, angry enough to kill anyone or any thing in their path. They attempted to attack the ROOT Anbu for not telling them why Naruto and Sasuke were in trouble. Their attempt was foiled by Naruto and Sasuke of course. Kyuubi then appeared on the table in front of Naruto.

"Kit, if this judge doesn't hurry up, I'm going to kill everyone in here." said Kyuubi.

"Calm down. Hachibi wouldn't do something like that and you shou;don't either." said Naruto.

"Dammit, I'm not Hachibi. Wait a minute, where is he anyway?" asked Kyuubi.

"They wouldn't allow him or Killerbee to come with us because they're not from Konoha." answered Naruto.

"I think something's going on. Why are you in trouble?"

"They didn't say. I guess we just have to be patient."

"Patient? I have a massive headache and I'm tired! I wanna go home!" said Kyuubi. "Or I can begin my killing spree starting with that guy staring at me." he said as he pointed to one of the ROOT Anbu. The said Anbu then walked up to them.

"Hey, put that summoning away." he said sternly.

"You my friend, have just sealed a deal with death." said Kyuubi. He lunged at the Anbu but Naruto grabbed him.

"Not now Kyuubi." he said. Kyuubi growled.

"I'll deal with you later." Kyuubi told the Anbu as he warped back into Naruto's mind.

"Stupid rat…" the Anbu mumbled as he walked away.

"WHAT WAS THAT!?" roared Kyuubi as he reappeared. The Anbu may have had a mask on but one could tell he was extremely frightened. Kyuubi wasted no time in jumping on the Anbu and ripping his throat.

"Kyuubi!" yelled Naruto.

"YES!!!" yelled Sakura.

"Kill another one!" added Karin. Sasuke sighed.

"I'm just getting started!" said Kyuubi. But suddenly the 'judge' appeared in front of him. With a Sharingan. Sasuke's eyes widened.

"That is enough." said Danzo. "Kill them." he commanded as he focused his Sharingan's power on Kyuubi. Kyuubi stared into it with a blank face for a while, and then lunged at Danzo, ripping his throat as well.

"Tasty." said Kyuubi as he licked the blood off of his lips.

"If we just killed their leader, how come all of his lackeys are just standing there?" said Karin.

"Because I'm not dead." said Danzo as he appeared farther back in the courtroom.

"That's no average Sharingan." said Sasuke as he activated his own.

"That is correct. This Sharingan has the power to control just about any living being. Furthermore I can control my Anbu and use a transformation jutsu to make them a real live clone of myself." said Danzo. Naruto's eyes widened.

"So you're wasting people's lives for your own selfish deeds!?" he yelled.

"Precisely." Danzo replied calmly. "But tell me. Why am I not able to control the Nine Tailed Demon Fox?" he asked. Kyuubi growled.

"As long as he has a host, he can't be controlled by anyone!" said Naruto.

"And kit's not going anywhere!" added Kyuubi.

"We shall see." said Danzo. Naruto then received a bone crushing kick to his back, sending him across the room. He quickly recovered.

"Sakura! No! You have to snap out of it!" yelled Naruto. No response.

"Take this!" yelled Sasuke as he charged at Danzo. "CHIDORI!!!" he shouted as electricity formed on his hand. He then came to a sudden stop when Karin jumped in front of him. "Karin! Not you too!" said Sasuke. No response.

"Now unless you want me to harm these young ladies, or have them harm you, then you'd better come over here, Naruto Uzumaki. Quickly. Naruto reluctantly walked over to Danzo. "Now the Kyuubi will be mine." said Danzo as he pulled out a sword. He then suddenly froze in place. Literally. All of the ROOT Anbu gasped.

"How'd I get over here?" said Sakura.

"Why is the old guy encased in ice?" said Karin. The Anbu then began to yell angrily and unsheathe their weapons.

"Uh oh." said Naruto. People were then heard screaming in terror outside. The roof of the courthouse was then swept away, and a giant paw crushed the frozen Danzo. "Oh no! Not Hinata! Not now!" thought Naruto.

"Come on! Jump on my back now!"

"Nanabi!" thought Kyuubi. They followed the giant fox's orders and jumped onto her back. And in a strong frosty wind, they vanished.

------In Hokage Mansion------

"They won't look for you here." said Nanabi.

"Wait a minute. If you're here, then where's Hinata?" asked Naruto.

"Hopefully she's dead." thought Sakura.

"Home." said a voice as the Hokage office doors opened.

"Hiashi Hyuga." said Sasuke. "Where's Lady Hokage?"

"I'm her temporary replacement while she's out on important business." answered Hiashi.

Nanabi spotted Kyuubi going down stairs out of the corner of her eye, and followed him. She walked down stairs and found Kyuubi laying on the ground, with his back to her.

"Hey." she said as she walked up to him.

"Here to kill me?" asked Kyuubi.

"No, I'm here to talk." replied Nanabi.

"I'm sorry." said Kyuubi. "For everything."

"I didn't ask for an apology. I want to know what happened." said Nanabi.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb with me. That night. You tried to kill me. But today…you let me beat you. You didn't even attempt to fight back. Why?" asked Nanabi.

"I…I don't know if I can tell you. If I do, it could cause a chain of revenge, resulting in you being sealed again. Probably permanently this time." said Kyuubi.

"You may not realize this, but all the revenge I wanted, I took out on you. Right now, I want to hear the truth. Hopefully a truth that will give me a reason to be with you again." she said as Kyuubi's eyes widened. "So either you tell me, or I'm leaving." Kyuubi sighed. But he decided to tell her about the frightful night when he met Madara Uchiha.

Afterwards, Nanabi sat there and let it sink in. "So…the masked guy, who is known as Madara, can control us, and used you to weaken me so I could be captured, and then used you to get revenge on Konoha…" she recapped. Kyuubi nodded. "And he wants to use our power to rule the world…" Kyuubi nodded again. She closed her eyes for a few seconds.

"You're not mad? You don't want revenge?" asked Kyuubi. Nanabi smiled and cuddled up next to him.

"I'm not you, ya know. I'm not going to recklessly attack someone I know I can't beat. I'm surprised you haven't attacked this Madara character and gotten your ass whopped." she said. Kyuubi laughed nervously. Nanabi giggled. "I think I still love you, Kyuubi-kun." she said. Kyuubi smiled.

"Likewise."

I'm really sorry everyone. I said I would update Tuesday and here I am Thursday. I'm just so freakin busy these days. But I'm gonna keep updating at least once a week. I think I know how the story is going to end but it's rather sad so I'm not sure yet. But stick around and review! I appreciate all my readers!
