"Kyuubi speech"

"Thought Speech"

"Everyone else speech"

Last Chapter

"I'm sorry Kyuubi. You are right. I shouldn't judge you by what other people think, but what I think of you. And I don't think you are evil. You have never done anything to hurt me. That's more than I can say for the villagers. If you will let me, I hope we can be friends."

Chapter 2

On With the Story

Naruto hugged the giant fox with all his might. He wanted to let it know how sorry he was. Suddenly Naruto found himself being lifted far above the ground. He looked down to assess the situation and saw that he was being lifted by one of Kyuubi's tails. He noticed that the tail was leading Naruto straight towards its mouth. Naruto didn't struggle, thinking it to be futile.

"How could I have been so stupid?" He thought to himself in a defeated tone.

Naruto's body came closer to Kyuubi's mouth. He could see its razor sharp teeth. The golden haired boy closed his eyes not wanting to see himself being eaten. He waited in dread-filled anticipation but instead of the intense pain of teeth tearing through his flesh he felt something very soft and warm rubbing against him. A vibration tickled his body. Naruto opened his eyes to see Kyuubi's huge muzzle nuzzling against him.

The fox was purring.

Naruto was surprised to say the least, but he hugged Kyuubi on it's muzzle, enjoying the sensation. He suddenly felt like he was falling. Naruto looked around and noticed that yes, he was falling, but not like he expected. Kyuubi was shrinking. It shrunk until it was about the size of a horse. It was holding Naruto with three of it's tails now.

Kyuubi smiled at Naruto or at least the closest way a fox could smile. It set Naruto down and started to change again. It stood up on its hind legs. It's paws grew more thin and sleek like fingers and its whole body changed to that of a woman. Kyuubi still was covered in fur and it's face was still that of a fox, but it retained the form of a woman. Kyuubi's nine tails swung gracefully behind her.

"You're a girl!?" Naruto exclaimed in surprise.

Kyuubi raised a small hand in front of her mouth to release a sultry chuckle.

"Of course child. You couldn't tell?" Kyuubi asked in a playful tone.

"Well, from what the villagers told me I always pictured you as a guy." Naruto said while looking away and fidgeting out of embarrassment.

A gentle smile formed across the woman's fox-like muzzle before she began to make her way over to Naruto. Naruto noted the way in which she walked. She supported her weight on the balls of her feet. She also had a graceful sway to her movements. Her tails swung the opposite way of her hips in a hypnotic fashion. She stood about 6 feet 2 inches. Naruto would say she looked to be in her early 20's. Though it's hard to tell when someone has the face of a fox. Once she got to Naruto she bent down and returned the hug Naruto gave her not too long ago. Naruto liked the feeling. He had never been hugged before and was very overdo for one.

"I accept your apology Naruto and I hope we can be friends too. If not more." Kyuubi's voice was soft, sweet and motherly.

She spoke in a tone that the orphan boy was very unfamiliar with. Naruto often watched other children in envy, imagining himself in their place as their parents doted upon them. He'd all but lost hope of ever being spoken to in that caring manner.

Naruto smiled and nuzzled into her fur. He never had a friend before. While he was nuzzling into her he noticed for the first time that she was naked. He sprung back with a blush on his face. Kyuubi watched Naruto curiously, following his eyes to where he was looking. She let out another sultry chuckle before snapping her fingers. Her body was engulfed by a blazing blue flame. Almost as soon as it appeared it was gone, to be replaced by a fanciful, scarlet, Victorian dress adorning the woman's curvy figure.

"No need to be embarrassed Naruto. It's all natural." She explained in a playful manner, making Naruto's blush even brighter.

After that Kyuubi's expression changed. She looked up into the darkness for a moment in silent contemplation. Her demonic irises then settled back on the child. Her mood had become much more serious.

"Naruto what is it that you want out of life?"

"What?" Naruto asked in surprise.

She had just come out of nowhere with that question.

"What is it that you want out of life?" She repeated.

"I want to be Hokage so the people of the village will stop disrespecting me and treat me like I'm somebody. Somebody important." Naruto said automatically.

He had been asked that question a lot and he always gave the same answer.

"Is that really what you want Naruto? Or do you want something else? Something that you think being the Hokage will grant you. You want to be the Hokage but for different reasons, so maybe someone will love you, am I correct?"

Naruto nodded. That was always the real reason he tried so hard, that he wanted to be the Hokage. From what he's seen everyone adored the Hokage. They loved the Hokage. Naruto would give anything for that.

"Naruto it saddens me every time I hear you speak those words. You are a boy raised in isolation and terrorized so thoroughly that the only option you see is to give your life for them in order to gain their respect. These people have done nothing to deserve what you are willing to sacrifice for them. They are not good people. By choosing to strive towards serving them you are saying that it's ok to treat their own children monstrously. It is in their nature to find someone else to blame for their suffering, to suck the happiness from others in order to maintain their own. Even if it means destroying the childhood of someone who should be their hero. For these people you want to sacrifice everything? Is that really all you hope for in life?" Kyuubi asked in a solemn voice, a look of pity in her eyes.

As Kyuubi spoke Naruto bowed his head, wrapping his arms around his body. He clutched tightly into his arms while his tiny body trembled.

"But what else is there? If not that then I'll be alone forever. At least this way I'll get some people to like me. And maybe...some will love me. After what I'll do for them, how could they not!?" Naruto looked up with a choked voice to Kyuubi's face, tears pooling in his eyes.

His face held a look of desperation. What else could he do to not be alone? Kyuubi nodded in understanding while glancing off to the side in thought, her eyes taking a far off gaze.

"So no matter what they do to you, no matter how horrible they are, you will reward them with your life and your blood? Just so a few may come to like you? You don't see what's wrong with that? How many more like you have they tortured? How many more like you will they continue to torture with their selfishness, ignorance and hate? How much suffering must they inflict on the helpless before someone finally stands up and says enough is enough!?" Kyuubi went on while baring her teeth in a great show of anger.

Naruto jumped slightly from her harsh tone, causing the woman to calm and look down to him with a gentler expression. Naruto's innocent blue eyes held a conflicted look to them, the boy standing in silence as he pondered everything he ever hoped for.

"Is that the type of person you want to be Naruto? To reward their cruelty with blind loyalty? No matter who they hurt? How many they hurt? No matter how many they step on to maintain their own happiness. It's all ok as long as you earn their respect and love? If that's the type of person you want to be, tell me now. I'll still stay with you Naruto. No matter what. I just need to know who you plan to be." Kyuubi continued while walking towards the boy again and dropping down on her knees so she could be level with him.

She placed both her paws along his shoulders in a gentle fashion. Naruto was still frozen as his entire world-view began to shatter, only snapping out of his daze when hearing her speak again.

"No matter who you decide to be Naruto, I won't abandon you because I see your heart. I'll stay with you until the end, even if you choose to die...for them." Kyuubi stated, disgust evident in her voice when referring to the people of Naruto's village.

Naruto raised both his hands to cradle his head, tears were streaming uncontrollably from his eyes. What was he doing? Why was he so willing to give everything to those people who treated him like dirt? Why did things have to be this way? Why were they so cruel? Why couldn't they just treat him like a child, like a person? Why did he have to be so alone!? Why!?

Naruto began to quiver again, everything he knew being tossed into question. Again his despair subsided as he felt warm arms wrapping around his body. Kyuubi had closed in for yet another hug. This time she pulled his head into her chest, his face snuggled against her covered bosom in a secure fashion. Kyuubi nuzzled her muzzle into the top of his head. Naruto melted under that tender embrace.

"Why is the world this way?" Naruto questioned in a hitched voice while finally moving his arms forward to cling against her body.

"Calm down my child." She whispered to him in a soothing voice. "This is simply the world they have created through no one's fault but their own. Angels like you are often the victims of their cruel world. They can't help it. Some are decent, but even the best of them are often trampled over by their own kind, or become corrupted when pushed far enough. It's just their nature, the nature of all humans. It will continue as long as they rule. They may need you to prove your worth to them, they may demand your blood, but I'll never do such a thing. I couldn't. You are a part of me, and I you. This is what it means to be a demon. We are one. I'll love you not because of what you can do for me, but because I can see who you truly are. An angel among monsters."

Naruto looked up at the Kyuubi's face. He listened to her attentive but one thing she said stood out.

"You'll….love me?" He asked in disbelief.

Kyuubi nodded while looking down affectionately towards the boy.

"I want to give you my love Naruto. I want you to be my son. I will teach you, care for you, and love you as my own. I will give you what you long for, someone to love. But only if you'll have me, and only if and when you are ready."

Naruto couldn't believe his ears. Someone was offering him love. He held on to her desperately, not wanting to ever let go.

"I will do whatever it takes. I don't care if this might be a trick. I don't care that you are a demon. I'm ready now. Just tell me what I have to do." Naruto blurted out without hesitation, sobbing uncontrollably into her chest.

Kyuubi smiled down at his little shaking form and nodded in understanding.

"Naruto, to become my son you must become a demon yourself. You must understand the risks. You will become half demon. You will lose some of your humanity to be replaced by your demonic side. You will truly become the thing that they all hate, unable to lead a normal life. In exchange you will be as much a part of me as I am you. You will be my child and I'll always love you no matter what. This isn't a decision to be taken lightly. Are you sure this is what you want?"

Without hesitation Naruto nodded into her torso. Kyuubi smiled again, bending down to kiss Naruto on the forehead.

"Good, but first things first, you are currently still in an alley. When you wake up I will be able to speak with you in your head. You will feel stronger since our connection has grown. We will need to find a place you can be safe for a couple days and be left alone. I will be with you the entire time. Now Naruto, close your eyes."

Naruto did as he was told and when he opened them he was behind the dumpster in the alley again. Naruto got up and with his new found speed jumped from rooftop to rooftop into the nearby forest. Naruto was amazed by his own agility. He was just a dark blur going through the trees. The boy yelled happily from the excitement.

"Having fun Sweetheart?"

"Mother is that you?"

Kyuubi smiled when she heard Naruto call her "mother".

"Yes, it's me Son. As I said before I can talk to you now. You just have to think and you will be able to speak back to me."

Naruto also smiled when he heard her call him "Son". That would take some getting used to. He looked around and after a little while of searching he found a cave. Once he made sure it was safe he sat on the ground and waited for Kyuubi's orders.

"Ok now give me control of your body while I perform the ritual."

"How do I do that?"

"Just don't fight it when you feel me taking over."

Naruto nodded and as soon as he did he felt a weird sensation running through him. Once it stopped his hands started to rise as if possessed. Naruto started performing hand seals at blazing speed. After several minutes his hand stopped on one seal. The symbol for "Demon."

Red chakra started coming out of Naruto's body and swirling around him. He noticed blood seeping from his skin, yet there was no pain. To Naruto's horror he saw his flesh ripping itself from his body, the chunks swirling around with his blood and the red chakra, still there was no pain. The bloody mixture swirled combined until it formed a cocoon around him. All Naruto could see was red.

Naruto was like that for days. He sat in trace, encased in a cocoon of chakra, blood and flesh. Nobody noticed he was gone and nobody cared. The Third Hokage was too busy to think about Naruto and so was Iruka at this time of year.

A few nights later the cocoon holding Naruto started to crack. Small pieces fell to the earth until the cocoon was no more. A figure could be seen on all fours breathing hard. It was small, maintaining the body of a child. It had smooth, soft skin, holding a slim figure. There wasn't a single blemish on its body. It's nails were long and pointed, making its hands resemble claws. It had long silky dirty blond hair flowing down to it's mid back. It had one furry golden fox tail sprouting from it's tailbone. It also had furry golden fox ears on top of its head. On its cheeks were three well defined whisker marks on each side, it's eyes blood red and slitted.

The boy breathed in deeply for the first time in his new form, his sharp fangs being revealed. With that breath the world would welcome the birth of the half-demon Naruto, Son of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Another chapter down, many more to go. Please review, I'll try to update soon.
