Love me U.K.E

(The Kitten and Kyuubi)

.

A night had passed and the day started anew, however still snoring away, Naruto laid about on the female erobody's bed, comfortable as ever.

After burning all of his energy running from Kotetsu and Kabuto last night, the doll figured he deserved a nice place to sleep which just so happened to be the nameless female erobody's bed... though he had to admit.. as nice as this surface was, it wasn't anything like Sasuke's bed. It wasn't as soft and it was a tad bit smaller in size, plus the mattress itself didn't hold any scent of the Uchiha which, in all honesty, helped with Naruto's sleep. Still, the doll was content.. He didn't fall asleep as fast as he wanted, but he did manage to fall asleep.

Groaning and turning over to get more comfortable, Naruto shifted, though he was sure to fall off of the tiny surface and hit the hard floor with a loud thud.
This made him hiss as he slowly opened his eyes and stared at the hardwood floors for just a second, then finally sat up rubbing his left elbow and shoulder.

"..Are you sure you're not defective?"

He flinched, looking up to the bed watching the female erobody stare at him with eyes as cold as ever, sitting at the edge of the bed her hands lapping over another atop her crossed legs. She had sat like that since last night..

"Oi.." he groaned still rubbing his shoulder. "Did you sleep at all?"

She nodded slowly. "I slept, but your snoring awoke me 30 minutes later.."

"I-I don't snore!"

"You were also talking in your sleep." She stated. "You continued saying.. Sasuke.. Sasuke.. do you like that Sasuke?.. I was confused."

"I-I said that!" Naruto flinched.

The woman only nodded leaving him to blink 4 times before scratching the side of his cheek with a single finger. "..Well.. I didn't know I spoke in my sleep.. that's kind of new." he mumbled before grinning. "Heh, so what else did I say! Did I say what I was doing? Was I detailed?"

The woman dulled her eyes before slowly shaking her head- making Naruto smack his teeth and fold his arms, quick to pout. The woman who sat silently only watched, feeling she need not say anything to the boy or repeat what she had heard. To her, the conversation was over.. So, silently, she looked to her lap.

Naruto was still pouting over the words he had or hadn't heard, but recovered as he quickly sat atop the bed beside the woman and smirked.

"-Well! You know my owner's name! So what's yours!"

She glanced from her lap to him in a blink, staring for a long while, allowing Naruto to attempt to interpret her confusion in silence, which he did fairly well.

"Sasuke! Sasuke, is my owner's name!" he clarified, hoping she understood where the convo was going now.

"Sasuke?"

"Mhm! Mhm! Sasuke is my little pretty boy! He has long black hair and dark, pretty eyes! And he makes a really cute face when he's mad! That's my Sasuke!"

"..Your.. Sasuke.."

"Mhm!" he hummed before folding his legs atop the bed and rested his palms on his knees, looking to the woman eagerly. "So what's your owners name!" he asked.

". . ."

Naruto sat in wait, feeling he was going to get his answer soon.. but that soon turned out to be a good five minutes of cold airy silence, which made him scrunch his face and let out a breathless laugh.

Though he didn't really care about who the woman's owner was, he had to admit that talking to her was better than talking to the people he previously encountered, which means she was better than Kabuto and Kotetsu hands down! Oh.. and Bee too.. that guy was an asshole..
STILL! Naruto wanted her to speak.. Ever since the other night he had noticed that she wasn't really the talkative type.. she was really silent and if anything analytical about little details that he found somewhat annoying. When he would talk about how he ended up in her room, she would point out on bullshit things like.. the fact that he didn't knock when he entered or how he didn't politely introduce himself or something like that..

He could tell that she was fond in pointing out flaws, but it was tolerable compared to Bee's disrespectful rapping, Kabuto's manhandling and Kotetsu's assholish-ness.. Still, he had to wonder if everyone in this place was like this.

"Eh.. Oi, you have an owner right?"

". . ."

"You know.. the person who opened your box.. Who released you and told you their name.. My person was Sasuke.. You have to have a person too considering you're just sitting here." he laughed.

"..A defective unit."

"Huh.."

"Only defective units are boxed and shipped away. Unit's that prove to have no errors stay here." she explained. "You are defective.. so defective, that you were not wanted by this place nor your owner.." She continued, lifting her right hand to rest upon the side of his face. "...What is wrong with you?"

Naruto blinked, but as if the gears began to grind in his head, he instantly glared slapping her hand away and pulling back. "Oi, is that what you think of me! You think I'm broken!"

"...Defective units are sent awa-"

"I don't need you to repeat yourself! I was mistakenly sent out, so don't think that you're better than me or somethin' because of that!" He spoke, growling. "I'll admit, my owner sent me here.. but that's only because he doesn't like erobodies in the first place and that's nothing I can help! You on the other hand.. Tch.. I have no clue why you're here but I can point out a few things!"

The woman blinked her already lowered eyes while tilting her head more to her left in response, making Naruto point and glare. "That's right! You may be pretty, but you're a bitch! You don't talk alot, you look depressed, you're rude, and mean, and.. the whole time I've been here you haven't even made a goddamn joke.. not even once.." he spoke squinting his eyes and hissing at the end.

The woman batted her lashes slowly, making Naruto fold his arms and huff as he glanced away and glared at a yellow cat figurine on the nightstand a few feet away from where he sat. Only then was there silence in the room.

Though this was something Naruto would've liked to avoid, he didn't mind that it was happening. He had to say what was on his mind and get back at the woman for being so annoying. So.. they sat in silence, neither of them bothering to utter a word to each other- acting as if nothing had happened and the other hadn't existed..

...

..

.

"Gaaah.." Naruto groaned turning back to the woman. "You should at least apologize.. for being rude I mean."

"...Rude..?"

"Hmph, I was only being nice to you and tryna be your friend, but you kept calling me defective! What If I kept calling you defective? Would you like that!"

"..I am not defective.."

"Well neither am I! I'm not defective, I'm not a fucking computer and I'm not someone who's gonna be made fun of! I'm Naruto, and as long as I'm here you're going to address me as such! You got that!"

The woman actually pulled herself back a bit, slightly stunned over the boys powerful voice, but given a moment she calmed, nodding and looking back to her lap silently again making Naruto huff and fold his arms more firmly. "Oi, now that we got that outta the way.. I think it's about time we found you a name."

She jerked looking back to him, only making him nod. "I need something to call you.. I can't just keep calling you 'lady' or 'bitch' when I'm angry.. So we might as well work together in finding you a name.."

The woman blinked but lapped her hands atop one another before lowering her eyes in thought. Naruto cupped his chin for a moment, thinking of all the names he had run by, but figuring none of them fit the woman in particular made him angry as time went on. He didn't know that many people, so he didn't know that many names.. and he wasn't creative to say the least, considering he's never really thought of names before..

The boy dulled his eyes as he groaned and fell back on the bed to stare at the ceiling. His mind was pulling blanks.. making him get a little frustrated but still continue to think- He wasn't going to give up on this!

"...Tch.. dammit.. this is really difficult.."

"...Yugito.."

Naruto instantly sat up, watching the blonde woman continuously stare into her lap as she repeated the name once more.

"My name.. is Yugito.."

"Your..n-name..is.." Naruto stuttered, blinking in-between the spaces. "..Oi.. I thought you said you didn't have a name.."

"I was told, that it wasn't my name.. but that was the name given to me.. by my owner.." she spoke, slowing her words. "My owner.. was Gansaku Ichiki.."

Naruto blinked some more but leaned to the woman as he was sure to squint. "Ey.. What do you mean by 'was'? Gansaku isn't your owner anymore?"

She shook her head, agreeing in a way. "..He was sent away, 14 days after I was awoken. After, I was told that Gansaku wasn't my original owner.. that he was a mistake. I was told to forget about him and the name he gave me." She explained before lifting her head slightly. "Gansaku Ichiki was the first name I heard.. but I was told that Kakashi was the one who really owned me- units like us cannot have 2 owners.. only one. Gansaku wasn't my owner to begin with, which means the name given to me was not mine.. his owning me was just a mistak-"

"Bullshit!" Naruto voiced making the woman twitch. "Who says that Gansaku isn't your owner, he's the one who woke you up didn't he! Not only that, he gave you a name- that's proof that you were special to him, and that you were his! There's no mistake about anything in all of that!" he explained before leaning to the woman some more. "To hell with Kakashi, if he didn't speak to you, or he isn't the one you heard then he isn't your owner, it's just that simple! Who's the one who kept telling you this stuff? Was it Kakashi himself? Do you need me to kick his ass for you?"

The woman flinched again before watching the boy leap off the bed and tighten his left fist as he glared at the roof, growling like it had said something to him, however, the boy was sure to focus all his angered attention to the floor- stuck in thought until he finally spoke.

"..saying Gansaku isn't your owner.. is like saying Sasuke isn't mine.. but both of them spoke to us, and that's who we attached ourselves to. No one owns me but Sasuke.. and no one owns you but Gansaku." Naruto spoke before taking a breath, eventually smiling. "We stick to our owners, because that's what we do- there's no going against that! So don't listen to any more of that crap okay? It's just not right.."

Yugito could only stare with eyes distended, but she eventually nodded leaving Naruto to snicker and place his hands on his hips heroically, turning to her with a face brimming with confidence. "Oi.. who's the one who told you all that stuff anyway? Was it Kakashi?"

She blinked but shook her head. "..Kabuto..told me."

"Hmph.. Kabuto.. I don't trust that guy and you shouldn't ei-"

Freezing, Naruto's fuzzy ears appeared and twitched as he heard distant footsteps just outside the room. This made him turn to the door and flinch before stepping closer to Yugito.

"Shit.. I think someone's coming.." he mumbled before glaring at the woman. "Oi.. I'm going to hide, don't tell anyone where I am okay?"

The woman blinked attempting to shake her head, however Naruto was sure to frown and step closer to her. "Please, I can't let anyone find me in here.. Please Yugito, don't let them find me!"

Stunned by her name alone the woman flinched, but as if her name alone was a get out of jail free card, she nodded allowing Naruto to nod as well and hide just under her bed.
Moments had passed and eventually the footsteps he heard had got louder and louder till they finally stopped just in front of the room. Naruto gritted his teeth, hating how his assumptions were right but stayed silent and cowered in the very back of the floor under the mattress, hiding in the somewhat darkness the surface provided and behind the quilt just atop the bed.

Given only a few seconds to rejoice at his hiding spot, Naruto smiled but frowned as the door opened, leaving the blue-eyed boys fuzzy ears to perk, twitch and focus on whatever sounds were to come..

There were footsteps that approached in slow strides but after that there was sound of change being shuffled in pockets or clashing metal.. then after the click of a pen or something close..

"Did you have a good sleep?"

Naruto flinched hearing Kabuto's voice- talk about speaking of the damn devil..

"Hmn.."

"Still mute are you? In time, you're going to have to get more vocal.. You're one of the chosen units that will be presented to the world.. Kakashi and I expect you to act like real woman."

Another clicking sound was heard and another hum was tuned by Yugito, after a moment, Kabuto spoke again.

"..Well you look fine.. Still in good shape. I suppose if I wasn't the one who led to your birth than I'd assume you weren't an artificial human." He muttered, unknowingly making Naruto twitch.

Artificial human? Was that another name for an erobody?

"Follow my hand.." Kabuto spoke before another clicking sound was heard. "..Now tell me what this tastes like.."

"..Ink.."

"And what is this instrument?"

"...A pen.."

"Very good." He cooed as scribbles were heard. "Even though you've been isolated for about a month you don't forget what you've seen, and what you've tasted. Born brilliant as they say.. Now show me your ears and tails.."

Naruto twitched again as his own ears flinched. Yugito had ears and tails? Naruto smiled slightly.. She really was just like him.

"...Still soft, still real.. Nothing feels broken or out of order.. Hm.. You know Kakashi prefers it when you show these. This is how you were built, you shouldn't bother hiding them."

"..."

"Still pouting? That attitude will change face in due time I suppose." Kabuto sighed- the clicking of his glasses now being heard now. "Well this concludes our check up.. Be sure to walk around a bit, you don't want bedsores.. And when Kakashi is around, you will show your ears and tails, understand?"

"...Yes.."

A smug laugh was heard along with fading footsteps then a pause.

"Oh I almost forgot.. Have you spotted the Kyuubi unit anywhere by chance? He ran off the other day and he hasn't been found."

"..."

"Unit?"

"... Kyuubi unit?" she muttered confused.

"..Oh, that's right. He was the latest series made just after the Gyuki unit. I suppose in the time he was created you had just began to isolate yourself from everyone." Kabuto spoke. "Either way, he's your equal. Born with no flaws, he is our first male Jinchuuriki unit that can stand by your side when you're exposed to the world."

" ! "

"With that said.. He's a blonde male, approximately this tall, has blue eyes and happens to be very boisterous.. maybe you've heard him from within these walls..?"

"..I..I have.." she uttered making Naruto jerk.

"Oh? Well, can you do me a favor and tell me where you hear him now? He needs an inspection before he's brought to Kakashi.."

"..."

"Matatabi?"

"..The garden.."

"The garden? How on Earth did he get out there?" Kabuto questioned rhetorically. "...Hmph.. Well your services are appreciated."

".."

"Oh, and Matatabi.. Your fertilization test is coming up. Be prepared."

There was a silence, then eventually the noise of the door shutting. Staying under the bed for just a moment, Naruto slowly crawled from underneath, straining as he did so until he finally found himself out and eventually on his feet. After freeing himself from the tight space underneath the bed he flinched noticing Yugito's ears and tails. She only had two tails, but both her furry appendages were sleek and a creamy blondish-beige which matched her hair. Studying her long tails and tiny ears, Naruto quickly noticed that they weren't as fuzzy as his but still had a bit of fluff to them. Seeing this sight made Naruto blink but flinch as he noticed the woman glance at him with a set of eyes that made him stare for a bit longer but eventually speak.

"H..Hey, what was Kabuto talking about? What did he mean when he said I was your equal and he was going to show us to the world? Is there a parade soon or something?" He blinked.

Yugito shook her head. "..Kabuto.. wishes to show both of us to the world as Kakashi's breakthrough projects."

"What?"

"We are not like other u.k.e's we are both different. All Jinchuuriki unit's are different from average u.k.e's.." she explained. "We are more advanced.."

This almost made Naruto falter a bit, but he was sure to compose himself and stare at his hand. He was a Jinchuuriki unit.. something more advanced than any normal u.k.e? Which meant he was something way better than a common sex doll.. He was, dare to say, better..?

The blonde continued to stare at his hand with focus before snickering to himself. Had Sasuke known this then maybe he wouldn't of left him here so suddenly.

After a moment of laughter, Naruto instantly frowned knowing Sasuke wouldn't of changed face had he known this bit of information. Sasuke never wanted a doll to begin with, and anything born here was a doll when it came down to it..
Groaning Naruto glanced at Yugito once more before raising a brow and forming more questions in his head.

"..Oi.. So what did Kabuto mean by a fertal-thingy test? I never heard of one of those- and I know he wasn't trying to do that to me."

"Of course not.. those tests are only for me."

"Only for you.. For what?"

The woman's left ear twitched before she had let out a quick breath through her nostrils. "Though I am complete, I am incomplete. In order to become the perfect specimen.. I must be able to bear children."

"WH-WHAA!"

"Female erobodies lack this trait, but you and I are the breakthrough's.. If am to be exposed to the world as an advanced human, than I must be able to bear children."

"Yu-Yugito! Th-That's.. When.. Deh!"

Naruto couldn't find words.. a doll having kids? That's crazy!

"...I don't like it.." The woman spoke softly. "..When I say something hurts.. The coated figures ignore me. They keep going and it ends up being more painful.."

Naruto frowned, his ears falling back as he looked to the woman. She was actually frowning as she spoke, and this was bothering the boy..

"..It hurts and I don't want to do it, but I endure it.. I have to. If I don't, then I will be incomplete and Kakashi will be upset."

"..Tch.. Who gives a damn if he gets upset.."

"..?"

Naruto actually scowled as he felt his blood boil, still speaking. "If you don't want to bear children than that should be your choice alone.. No one can make you wanna have kids, not even Kakashi.."

"Kakashi.. is the reason I am here.."

"Yeah well he's the reason I'm here too, but you don't see me taking tests and letting Kabuto put a camera up my ass!" the boy grunted. "If I don't like something, then I get away from it- You need to do the same thing Yugito! What's the point of going through all of this if this isn't what you want?"

The woman actually flinched as she stared at Naruto, eyes wide and mouth split to let out a gasp, however she was sure to stop herself from staring to long, just so she could look to her lap with a frown. Naruto saw this, eventually watching her ears fall only slightly while her tail just looked dead.. This made the blonde boy sigh as he shook his head for only a moment, then snicker. Yugito looked to him, hearing Naruto's soft cackle's however flinched as he tackled her, falling just on top of her as he managed to nip at her right ear which in turn made her softly gasp.

After earning that, Naruto lifted himself back grinning like a goofball until he ultimately pulled himself off of her- Watching as she looked to him and slowly sat up.

"Oi- I forgot to say thank you, Yugito.. I really thought you were gonna squeal on me back there."

"..."

"..I'm glad you didn't.. If Kabuto found me then I'd actually cry." He laughed. "..Oi, but I can't stay in here forever.. I have to go." He mumbled striding over to the door.

"..Go?"

He nodded. "I'm going to go talk to Kakashi. I'm going to ask him why he's having Kabuto do this to you and why he sent your owner away." he spoke gripping the handle to the exit. "..I know I haven't been here long, but I just have to know why that guy is such an asshole to you! Just because he created us doesn't mean he can treat us like garbage." he uttered opening the door.

"N-Naruto!" Yugito gasped.

The blonde flinched, stopping himself from leaving, and glancing back into the room, seeing the woman stand off her bed and look to him with a face of worry.

"Kakashi.. Kakashi will be upset.."

"Hm?" he blinked, before smirking. "Psh, so what? I'm not afraid of him! He's just a weirdo who get's off on telling people what to do!"

"..Naruto.."

"..Oi.. You're not scared are you?"

The woman jerked, making the boy laugh then flash her a foxs smile. "Don't worry, nothing bad's gonna happen. As long as you and I are friends, I'm going to watch your back and you'll watch mine! You'll never have any tests done on you while I'm here! You got that, Yugito?"

The woman widened her eyes, watching the boy race out of the room and shut the door behind him, making her heart actually skip a few beats, however she was instantly eased when she watched her door open again with Naruto peering his head through the small space.

"Oi.. I forgot to say something." he mumbled making the woman's ears twitch. "..Heh.. One thing I will say Kakashi's right about, is your ears and tails.."

"..My-"

"You look waaay hotter with your ears and tails Yugito! I'd totally have sex with you if I wasn't committed to Sasuke!-For sure!" he laughed throwing the woman a thumbs up then leaving once again.

After the door had shut, the woman stood in silence, her eyes cold and emotionless once more. That comment had stroked her the wrong way.. and yet.. made her feel like laughing..

"..Defective unit.."

.

.

A single tear of sweat skied down the side of Kotetsu's face as he stood before Kakashi's desk, receiving the harshest of glares all the while. He had been standing in Hatake's office for a little over 30 minute's now, explaining his case and trying to prolong his life as long as he could, but could not the longer he stood there.

He gulped, staring at his boss with a troubled look, only watching Kakashi eye him with sight see'ers that were oozing the essence of ill-intentions. He was honestly wondering what Kakashi was thinking about right now.. Maybe he was going to hire some Yakuza to gun him down after he left work today, or maybe get those Akatsuki thugs to gut him and throw him up the river.. or worse.. Maybe Kakashi was going to fire him!

Kotetsu gulped again, still watching Kakashi stare at him.. however he was sure to watch the man actually move now, sitting straighter in his seat as he laced his hands atop some paperwork and groaned.

Oh no he was coming to an conclusion..

". . ."

Maybe Kakashi was really considering hiring thugs to kill him, or maybe he was just going to do it himself..? Why wouldn't he! The idiot managed to lose his prized experiment yet again and now instead of being in Obito's hands, the erobody was running about around the world! Exposed to elements the boy never would've known! The kid had probably fallen off a cliff or got hit by a car or something! Or maybe he had gotten eaten by a shark or even worse, fell into a ditch and hit his head causing him to go unconscious!

Kotetsu was dead! Totally dead, and that was reason enough to kill him! Yes yes, this was a good reason enough to end the man's life!

"..ohmygod.." Kotetsu whined under his breath making Kakashi sigh.

"...Kotets-"

"Oh God I'm so sorry Mr Hatake! Please forgive me! I didn't mean to lose it! It just ran off! But I swear to you on my mothers life I will find it and bring it back to you! You have my word sir!"

"Hm?.. What are you talking about?"

"U-Uh! T..The k..ki..kid.." He answered.

"Kid? What kid?" Hatake questioned with widened eyes and a clueless face.

Kotetsu only blinked twice before smiling to the heavens. Right now Kakashi was having his airhead moments! Which meant the male assistant could get out of this situation home-free if he just chose the right wording for the situation.

With this the dark-haired man smirked. "Uhm.. The uh.. I uh.. wasn't finished. I meant to say, the kidding joke.."

"Kidding joke?"

"Y-Yeah.. you see.. I had this kidding joke, and it was so funny, but I lost it in my train of thought." he laughed pointing at his head for reference. "..Once I remember I promise I'll tell you."

"..Yes.. be sure that you do. I'm very interested in this.. kidding.. joke. I don't think I've ever heard of it." Kakashi responded.

"I will sir." Kotetsu saluted. "So.. uh.. what'd you call me in here for?"

"I wanted to ask you what you think of this office.."

"Wh-What?"

"I was thinking of giving it to Shizune and moving into a bigger room down the hall.. What do you think of this?"

"Wh-Why does Shizune get an office!"

"You told me yourself she does a lot for me.. I figured she deserved this much.." he answered before sighing. "Besides.. I figure If I give her this office she'll think I gave her promotion, then she'll stop hounding me for a raise.."

Kotetsu blinked but eventually laughed. "G-Great idea Mr Hatake. You're a genius!"

"Hm? Why thank you, Kotetsu." The man responded graciously as he cupped his chin and smiled a bit. "Keep throwing compliments like that my way and I might get you an office too.."

"Seriously!"

"No.."

Kotetsu faltered, leaving Kakashi to actually chuckle to himself before grabbing his papers and looking through them- this only made the dark haired man dull his eyes and hunch as he stared.

"So will that be all you needed of me sir?"

"No. Send the Kyuubi unit in here, then you can take a break or whatever it is you do."

Kotetsu jerked. "T-The!"

"What?..."

"U-Um! The.. The.. You s..said the K-Kyuubi unit.. r-right?"

"Right.. What? Don't tell me you lost him again.."

"N-No! I..I know where he is!"

"So quit standing there and send him to me.."

"I will sir, b..but.."

Kakashi paused reading his papers only to watch Kotetsu sweat nervously and rub the back of his head.

"W-Well.. s..sir.."

The two stared at one another however flinched as they heard a distant scream just outside the room.
Turning slightly, Kotetsu glanced at the door, hearing the scream get louder..and louder and louder..

"Ooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii -"

"Is that.."

Kotetsu couldn't bring himself to finish- which was good considering the doors to Kakashi's office were kicked open exposing the doll he thought he had lost.

"K-Kid!" The bandaged man, spoke watching the blonde grunt and ball his fists looking passed him.

"Oi Kakashi! I've got a few words to say to you!" The blonde screamed as he stomped toward the mans desk.

Kotetsu flinched looking to Kakashi then back to the kid as he advanced. For some reason he felt that words weren't the only thing Naruto wanted to exchange with Kakashi..
