Naruto was sitting on the handrails of the ship, looking about as people rushed to unload it and reload it into cars that had been left right in front of their landing sight. Naruto supposed it must have been set up ahead of time. But where were the people who delivered them? Yugito's voice cut through his thoughts. "You've calmed down quite a bit."

Naruto didn't turn around. "I can't do anything until I find a way home, so I may as well enjoy the ride."

Yugito leaned next to him, speaking softly."Not quite the attitude I would have thought you'd have."

Naruto turned towards her a smile on his face. "To tell the truth, I'm trying something a bit new."

Yugito pushed him slightly. "Doesn't suit you."

Naruto laughed. "Ah... Oh well."

Yugito looked away from him before speaking in a even lower tone."Do you want to talk about what happened on the iceberg?"

Naruto dropped off the handrails, landing softly on the snow beneath. "Whats to talk about? I controlled it."

Yugito followed shortly after. "No, it controlled you."

Naruto turned towards her, he could feel the anger struggling to burst free. "NO IT DIDN'T!"

Yugito hesitated before continuing on. "Still having those rage issues?"

Naruto lied through his teeth. "I'm not angry."

"No your not, anger and rage are far different emotions." Naruto decided it was time for this conversation to end.

"Just leave me alone." Naruto turned to leave.

Yugito grabbed the collar of Naruto's borrowed coat. "No, you need to understand this, or you will lose control one day, and do something you'll regret."

Naruto stared into the eyes of Yugito. He thought about Itachi and Kisame, and how his fight with them went. Naruto slowly looked away. "I'm listening."

"The demons will take any path they can to take control away from you. They prefer the brute force method, but the weaker the demon, the more clever they get. The Ichibi for example, likes to trick his hosts into thinking he's a member of their family, or someone who cares very much for them. Then he forces his wills upon them while they are vulnerable, and seeking someones approval."

So that's what happened to Garaa. "And the Nibi?"

"She waits until puberty, then strikes at your uncertainty. She shows herself as a confident person who knows how to get what she wants, and that if you let her help you, she will make you loved, make you wanted. Little do you know that your playing into her game, that each time you let her help you, your only increasing your own doubts and insecurities." Yugito was staring at Naruto, like it wasn't something that concerned her.

"And the Kyuubi?" Naruto was hoping that maybe there was some hint.

"He is the strongest, and as far as I know hes never felt the need to manipulate before. His attempts should be weak, forcing raw emotion into you. That's where your rage comes into it., you need to let go of your grievances, forgive those who have trespassed against you. Or you'll never be able to control him."

"How do you know that will work?" Naruto didn't think he could, he wanted too, but he couldn't do it.

"I don't." With that Yugito finally walked away, and left Naruto on his own. It looked like the film crew was ready to set out, so it was time to begin his journey home.


They took a small rest stop before a huge cavern that would lead them to the next film spot. Someone rushed out of one of the cars and yelled out, "DIRECTOR! MRS FUJIKAZE HAS GONE MISSING!" Naruto looked towards the scene of the commotion.

"DAMN THAT WOMAN! FORM SEARCH PARTIES! WE HAVE TO FIND HER!" Naruto walked to them, determined to make Yugito's job a bit easier.

"Stay together, I'll find her." Naruto was stared down by the director.

"How can you possibly manage that?" Naruto blushed as he remembered walking in on her, his brain had already cataloged her unique smell.

"Um... I have my ways, just believe in me." The director looked towards the camera crew, who had somehow set up and trained the camera on him in the five seconds they had stopped moving. They nodded excitedly."

"Excellent, I can find a place for that! Alright, since you've given me so much material, and I suppose it'd be very nice to be able to set up the set ahead of time... Alright, you've convinced me, we'll move onto the next spot, it's right on the other side of this tunnel, when you find the diva, meet us there." Naruto jumped away, already hunting down the trail. "


She was lying in the snow, Naruto checked to make sure she didn't have any injuries before placing her on his back and heading back. It didn't take him long to get back to the tunnel's entrance.

She didn't wake up until they were well into the tunnel. "So what's your problem anyway?"

"I don't have a problem pervert."

"First off, I'm not a pervert, that was an accident. Second, your lies should have at least some truth to them if you expect anyone to believe them." Naruto wondered if he had gone too far.

She stiffened on his back. "Shut up Gaki."

"I'll shut up when you start talk" A train whistle cut Naruto off. The ground underneath him shimmered with chakra and ice melted underneath him, revealing train tracks. Naruto looked behind him to see a light filling the tunnel, it was so bright it made it impossible to tell what the train behind it looked like.. Naruto looked to the roof, but without knowing how tall the train was, he couldn't simply cling to the ceiling, ditto for the width of the train and the walls. Faced with only one option, Naruto turned and ran as fast as he could.

"ITS GONNA OVERTAKE US!" The actress was terrified, but Naruto was busy calculating his speed and the speed of the train and when the two objects would interact with deadly force.

"NO WAY!" Naruto tried to come up with other options should that happen.

"IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" What did she want him to do, drop her?

"I WON'T GIVE UP!"

"IT'S TOTALLY USELESS!" She was interrupting his calculations, which weren't easy to do running full speed and carrying someone who kept shouting at you, he needed to focus."

"SHUT UP AND BE QUIET!" He could feel it, that easy power just begging for him to use it.

"THIS IS POINTLESS!" He needed it right? Just once more and then I won't use it. He sounded like a junkie. "IT'S OVER!"

"I WON'T LET IT END!" He hadn't beaten Garaa with that power. "I WON'T GIVE UP EVER!" He had done it himself. "EVEN IF YOU WANT TO GIVE UP, I WILL NEVER EVER SURRENDER!" There had to be another option, some way to make it through this. He needed to speed up if he was going to live long enough to find out.

"GO GO GO GO GO! DAMNIT MOVE!" Naruto poured all he had into it, and the train slowed in it's approach. The light at the end of the tunnel came into sight. Naruto redid his calculations with this new data, and the outcome was bad, they would be run over just as they reached it, and that was if Naruto was even able to keep this speed that entire time.

"FUCK THIS IS GONNA HURT!" Naruto jumped as he spun around, the train smashed into his arms and legs, Naruto anchored himself with chakra as the impact nearly broke his bones. Yukie slipped, slowly losing her grip on him now that he no longer had his hands holding her up. They rushed into the light and Naruto threw himself to the side, as both he and Yukie flew through the air, he grabbed onto her and pulled her in close. He rolled through the snow and came up standing with her laying bridal style in his arms. She looked into his eyes, and Naruto wasn't sure if she should be looking at him like that.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you, Koyuki" Her hands nearly ripped holes in Naruto clothes and Naruto thought she might leave bruises on a normal person.

"Doto Kazahana"
