SURPRISE! Another chapter before Sunday. Happy Friday morning! I wanted to surprise you guys with an earlier post because the last chapter left off on such a somber note I felt like I needed to give you guys something a bit more bright. Plus I feel like this chapter will clear up a lot of things about the last chapter. I want there to be as little confusion as possible. Plus, I really like fluff~ Sunday's post is ready and on schedule so no worries there! Hope you enjoy the fluffiness~

P.S. I've seen a few fics do this so I was thinking about doing it as well, just to gauge the mind of my audience a bit more. I wanted to do a Q&A at the end of each chapter. If you guys ask have questions or comments about the story you can ask me in a review and I can post the answer at the end of my chapters, or the beginning. Just to kind of get some audience engagement. I'd like to get to know the people who enjoy my story rather than just see the thousands of people that read it on a weekly basis. Anyway, just an idea, enjoy!

"Kyuubi Speech"

"Midnight Speech"

"Everyone else's speech"

Chapter 23
On with the story

Kurenai walked through the forest for what seemed like hours, carrying the tiny, bloody form of Naruto the entire time. They had been deathly silent, both their minds racing and dwelling on the recent events.

"Do you hate me?" Naruto whispered in a tiny voice. "I understand if you do. I've finally given you a real reason." The boy continued somberly.

"No I don't Naru-chan. Don't ask such silly questions. Lets focus on something else. What is her name? The name of the girl you saved?" The woman asked while casting her tender gaze down to the little tween.

He was watching her the entire time as she spoke, doubt evident in his demonic eyes. How could she not hate him after everything he's done? Thoughts like that filled his mind. Kurenai could see that he was lost in his own head.

"Her name, Naru-chan?" Kurenai repeated, trying to take his attention away from the dark thoughts she knew he was dwelling on.

"M...Midnight." Naruto spoke out in a breathless voice.

Just saying her name had a noticeable effect on him. His eyes wondered, the image of her face filling his mind.

"I can't wait to meet her." The woman cooed sweetly. Naruto broke out of his daze to look back up at her.

"Why are you being so nice to me still? You can't believe that what I did was ok." Naruto questioned before clenching his little fists against the fabric of his blood stained pants. "You are human after all." The boy spoke under his breath.

Upon hearing that Kurenai narrowed her gaze. She bounced his body up in her arms causing a surprised gasp to escape his lips.

"So what? Am I supposed to turn on you, hate you? Is that what you think of me?" Kurenai questioned, the women appearing to be quite offended.

Naruto hesitated, fidgeting with his fingers.

"It just doesn't make sense. You should hate me. Scream at me. Despise me. Even fear me. I'm a demon. It's just how things are. We are enemies." Naruto squeaked out.

As he ended that sentence the boy's shoulders dropped. He stared forward blankly. Kurenai noticed his response was different. He should have been crying by now, like he always did when something upset the effeminate tween. Naruto was changing.

Kurenai let out a soft sign before shaking her head. She suddenly lowered her arms to set Naruto down on his feet. Naruto had a conflicted look in his eyes while looking up at her. Kurenai bent down to one knee to be level with him. Her hands settled along his hips, thumbing into his skin. She leaned forward to rest her forehead against his, staring into his slitted red eyes.

"Even if that's true for everyone else in the world, it's not true for me. You aren't just a demon, I'm not just a human. You are Naru-chan. That's who you are to me. Who am I to you?" Kurenai went on while squeezing affectionately into the boy's wide hips.

Naruto hesitated, looking away tentatively.

In response to his hesitation Kurenai pulled one hand away from his body in order to bring down a firm smack against his covered behind, making the girly tween jump and let out a soft squeak of surprise. If his face wasn't covered in blood she would be able to see him blush.

"Kurenai-chan." Naruto conceded while reaching both his dainty hands forward to play with the collar of her shirt.

Kurenai grinned in satisfaction before nuzzling her nose against his and placing a wet kiss against his forehead.

"Good boy. Now compose yourself. We've arrived and we aren't alone." The woman instructed, standing up and reaching out her hand.

Naruto took it immediately, the two entwining fingers. She then took a few steps to enter that familiar grassy clearing with Naruto at her side. When they entered the clearing both of their eyes fell on two figures in the distance. Naruto recognized them immediately.

Midnight's black fur shined under the moon light, the girl standing with her back facing Naruto and Kurenai. She was completely naked, her two tails swaying gently behind her. In front of her Kyuubi stood in her humanoid form. She had both of her hands caressing the smaller girl's face. When Naruto and Kurenai came into view Kyuubi leaned down to place a tender kiss against Midnight's forehead before pulling away from the black-furred vixen.

Kyuubi walked past the girl to saunter sensually towards the new arrivals. Kurenai immediately recognized the way the women moved. It was exactly like Naruto. There was one big different. Kyuubi's nine tails were swaying in tandem with her wide hips. It was rather hypnotic. Kurenai tried to maintain her composure but was having a bit of a hard time. This was THE Kyuubi after all. The demon who had just decimated Konoha for a second time. Kurenai was having a hard time maintaining her gaze.

Kyuubi stopped about a foot away from the duo, demonic fiery eyes focused on Kurenai, staring her down. It was very difficult but Kurenai managed to maintain the gaze, staring back with her own scarlet orbs. The ancient fox grew an amused smirk across her muzzle before presenting one hand towards Naruto. Without missing a beat Naruto stepped forward and placed his delicate hand atop Kyuubi's. The vixen finally turned her eyes away from Kurenai's face to instead look down at her child. She bent down, bringing Naruto's hand to her lips, giving a long kiss to the back of it.

"How are you doing Sweetheart?" Kyuubi spoke in the gentle, motherly voice that she always did when speaking to her child.

Naruto smiled warmly while rising up on his tippy toes to place a loving kiss against her forehead.

"I'm alright Mother. I'll be better when I see Midnight." The boy spoke out in a barely audible high pitched voice.

Kyuubi nodded in understanding while leaning in to whisper directly into the furry red fox ear atop his head.

"She dying to see you." The woman cooed.

Naruto nodded happily, glancing past his mother with a thoughtful expression before the boy's entire body was suddenly engulfed in a dark blue flame. Kyuubi pulled away from him and moved to stand at Kurenai's side. Kurenai watched on silently, observing with cautious interest. After a few moments of Naruto's form blazing like an inferno the flames extinguished, revealing his curvy frame to be completely naked and smoking. There was one notable different though. He was completely clean, all signs of blood, dirt, and grime gone.

Naruto raised his scrawny arms, tracing fingers through his hair for a bit. The tiny tween then lifted up his large, silky blonde mane before dropping those locks suddenly, making them bounce. A powerful yet brief gust of wind blew past him, dissipating the smoke which was emanating from his skin. Immediately after that another blue flame appeared at his side. Out of the fire Naruto's large clothing bag appeared. Naruto dropped to his knees, frantically searching through his wardrobe.

Kurenai watched in amazement, casting a glance over to Kyuubi. The old fox looked over to Kurenai out the corner of her eye, making the dark haired women snap her attention back to Naruto.

The girly tween was now shimmying a pair of cottony white panties up his slender legs, wiggling his hips into those frilly garments. He then took out a pair of shinobi pants.

"No, the other one." Kyuubi called out while performing a "shooing" motion with one delicate hand.

Naruto nodded sheepishly while putting the pants away and instead taking out a frilly black skirt. This was met by an approving nod from his mother.

"Much better."

Kurenai observed the two in great interest. She could see now exactly where Naruto had gotten all of his mannerisms. They moved almost exactly in the same way, stood in the same way, even spoke similarly, except Kyuubi spoke with a lot more confident. Naruto really was the demon's child. Kurenai was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a tiny voice speak out.

"How is this?" Naruto questioned towards both women while twirling around.

He adorned that frilly skirt, the fabric fluttering up to reveal those cottony panties as he spun about. Along his torso was a long sleeve, black sweatshirt that cut off at the boy's midsection, partially exposing his milky belly. Covering those skinny legs of his were matching thigh high leggings. For decoration there was a large black bow fastened within his hair like Minnie Mouse. When Naruto stopped spinning he gazed up to both women, biting nervously into his bottom lip.

"Do I look ok? Is the bow too much?" Naruto asked in an insecure tone.

Kyuubi let out an amused chuckle, walking over to Naruto and sweeping a few strands of his silky bangs from his face.

"Sweetheart, you're beautiful. She's going to just eat you up." Kyuubi stated encouraging while bending over to give Naruto a little eskimo kiss.

The affection elicited a high pitched giggle from the effeminate tween. Kyuubi then looked expectantly over to Kurenai. The women had a slightly dumbfounded expression. This was quite the day. Kurenai took just a moment to compose herself before walking forward to kneel down in front of Naruto. She gripped the waistband of his skirt and tucked it twice, making the skirt even shorter than it previously was.

"There, go get her Sweety." Kurenai spoke out before standing up, turning Naruto around and slapping the boy's butt to making him move forward.

He jumped and let out that familiar squeak, bowing his head lightly and moving towards Midnight. Kurenai watched him go with a soft smile. Kyuubi stood up straight, making Kurenai realize just how close and alone she was with the ancient demoness. The demon's proximity caused the hairs on the back of Kurenai's neck to stand up.

"Let's talk." Kyuubi stated simply in that sultry voice of hers while turning around and walking into the forest.

Kurenai could tell that this wasn't a request. She released a deep breath before turning to follow closely behind the demoness.

As the two women departed Naruto continued towards the black furred vixen. Midnight's back was still turned to him. The boy was fidgeting now with the bottom of his skirt, taking slow steps forward. As Naruto neared, Midnight finally began to move.

She turned around completely, her dark orbs meeting Naruto's slitted gaze. As soon as it did Naruto's eyes widened, the boy hunching over at the waist, wrapping his own arms around himself in pain. His entire body was aching, the agony was so intense but after a moment it faded away. Naruto raised his head to look towards Midnight in distress. He was feeling her pain.

It had taken hours for Kurenai and Naruto to get to the clearing. In that time Midnight's body had healed completely. At least physically. But the memory of the pain still lingered in Midnight's muscles. The phantom pain came in powerful waves. She was much more used to it than Naruto. Upon seeing his beautiful face her agony disappeared, but not before Naruto got a taste of it. Still when she gazed upon Naruto all she could do was smile.

"Hello Gorgeous." Midnight spoke in a slick manner, a devilish smirk painted across her face as she unabashedly scanned up and down Naruto's scantily clad form.

Naruto sprinted forward and jumped into Midnight's grasp, wrapping his scrawny arms around her neck and squeezing in a death grip. Tears were streaming uncontrollably down his cheeks, the boy whimpering pathetically into her neck.

"Don't ever leave me again!" The tween screamed in a shaky, high pitched voice.

He pulled back to gaze upon her face, his hands caressing her head frantically. Midnight by now had the boy's delicate body held possessively, the tightness of her grip around his skinny waist causing Naruto's back to arch. Despite what she'd experienced the girl stood up tall, strong, looking down on him with a confident expression.

"I'm sorry Darlin." Midnight spoke sweetly, taking one of Naruto's dainty hands and bringing it up to her lips in order to plant a tender peck against the flesh.

Naruto stared adoringly at her while she gave him that princess-like treatment.

"You have nothing to apologize for. Just promise me you'll never let anyone split us apart again." Naruto squeaked out desperately, the blonde adorning an adorable little pout.

Midnight placed one more peck against the back of Naruto's hand before leaning forward to kiss softly at his lips. She spoke during that exchange.

"I promise. I'll become strong enough to protect our family. I'll become more powerful than anyone. Most powerful than you, more powerful than Kyu-chan. No one will ever threaten us again." She whispered gently as her eyes wondered off.

Midnight kept her lips pressed against Naruto's in hesitation. Naruto quckily picked up on it.

"What's wrong?"

Midnight shook her head while staring forward with regretful eyes.

"I caused you so much pain. I didn't come back to you even though I could have after a few days. I just wanted you to see what they were capable off but..." Midnight continued on with a tear gaze before being silenced by a finger being placed against her lips.

"I know." Naruto stated tenderly.

Midnight's eyes widened in shock.

"You knew what I was doing?"

Naruto nodded his head softly.

"I figured it out when I was running through the complex. It was so easy to infiltrate I knew that you could have escaped if you wanted to. That facility wouldn't be able to hold you for more than a few days. I knew that the reason you stayed was so I could see it. You did all that because you didn't think I'd be able to accept the truth any other way." Naruto explained in barely audible voice.

Midnight was quite frankly amazed at Naruto's deductive skills. He really was his mother's son. Though during her admiration she noticed he was shaking. Midnight's grip tightened even more around his tiny form.

"I should have found a better way, I should have..."

But she was silenced again, this time by a kiss. Naruto stood up on his tippy toes to quiet her concerns.

"Stop it, just stop it." Naruto stated in a huff while shaking his head frantically, trying to fight away the tears.

Midnight went silent, a conflicted look in her eyes.

"You saw something I couldn't and you did what you thought you needed to do to protect me, to protect us, to protect this family. I'm the one who is so attached to THEM that I was going down the same path as Mother, doomed to make the same mistakes. Despite everything I've seen and been through I was still so blind. You put yourself at their mercy and what did they do? Did they feed you, tend to your wounds, treat you like a living, breathing thing with thoughts, feelings, and desires? No, they tortured you, violated you, and almost killed you because it was in their best interest. You put yourself through all that to save me, to open my eyes, to show me what and who they are, no matter the cost, no matter how much you had to suffer. Every day you risked your life, stayed in that hell...for me." Naruto stated while clenching desperately into Midnight's body as if she'd fly away if he let go.

"When I saw you all I could think of was what you'd put yourself through just to show me the truth. The lengths you were willing to go in order to save our future. To save me. Don't you dare apologize for that you hear me!?" Naruto screamed now in that high pitched voice.

Midnight nodded and embraced Naruto in a desperate hug, unable to stop the tears trickling down her cheeks and dampening her fur.

"Ok Baby, ok." Midnight cooed softly directly into Naruto's fluffy golden ear.

They maintained that embrace for a long time, just enjoying each other's presense. After several minutes Naruto finally spoke up.

"Midnight?"

"Yes Darlin?"

"From now on...we don't keep secrets from each other." Naruto stated resolutely. Midnight nodded while burring her face shamefully into his neck.

"Ok."

"I'll never let anyone come between us. If that moment ever comes where I have doubts, where I hesitate, I need you to remind me of what we're fighting for. Why what I do must be done if we are to create a world that would be safe for our family, for our children. I won't make the same mistake as Mother. I promise." The tween whispered.

Midnight pulled away from their embrace just enough to look down at Naruto's beautiful face.

"I will. We'll protect this family together."

"No matter what."

"No matter what." Midnight's voice rumbled resolutely as she bit carefully into Naruto's bottom lip.

The effeminate boy instantly melted beneath her, his fingers sliding along her neck, up the back of her head, entangling within her hair and tugging desperately to intensify their passion.

Midnight pulled one hand back only to slap it hard against Naruto's skirted rump. That smack elicited a muffled, high pitched yelp from the boy. Though he'd soon transition into releasing a series of swooning moans and infatuated sighs of pleasure. She moved her other arm down as well, dipping both her hands now underneath his skirt in order to grab his pantie clad rump. She squeezing firmly into his supple flesh, wrinkling the fabric of Naruto's girly bottoms.

Naruto rose up on his tippy toes in response to Midnight's possessive tugging. The lustful demoness released a feral, dominant growl, sending shivers up the tiny tween's spine. He began to grind his thighs together in a bother, taking a vulnerable and submissive pose.

With her grip firmly in place Midnight lifted his tiny body up, causing Naruto to immediately wrap both legs around her waist.

The two engaged in a vigorous make out session for quite a while, both lost in the pleasure of their partner's taste. Their tongues darted back and forth, entwining and dancing against each other. Lewd slurping and smacking noises resounded from their mouths. A messy pool of drool began to gather between their lips, leaking down the side of their cheeks and dribbling down their chins.

Midnight fell forward, using her tails to brake their fall as she ended up on top of the smaller demon. All three of Naruto's golden tails had long since wrapped around Midnight's body, squeezing their feminine forms even closer together. There was practically no space separating them. After a few long moments Naruto finally broke the kiss. His face was flushed bright red, the boy's luscious lips glistened with Midnight's saliva and remained slightly parted while he released soft panting noises. Naruto stared up at his lover in pure, blissful infatuation. The tears never stopped streaming from his scarlet orbs.

"I love you Midnight." Naruto whispered in a breathless voice.

These words echoed in the girl's mind, the demoness freezing for just a moment. For the first time in a long time Midnight's pitch black pupils began to water. Their gazes were locked, neither having looked at anything else but each other since their eyes first met.

"I love you too Naruto. I'm yours, now and always." She spoke out in a hitched voice.

What they both felt in this moment was indescribable. They didn't know what to even do with themselves. They just stared longingly at each other for what seemed like eternity.

"I'm yours, now and always." Naruto finally whispered, breaking the silence.

"Say it again." Midnight ordered while dipping her face down to nip lightly against Naruto's neck.

"I'm yours."

"Again." She commanded, releasing a possessive growl while biting down hard enough to draw blood.

"All...yours.'' Naruto whimpered needily, his arms and legs wrapped around her tight, the tiny tween maintaining that clingy hold.

"AGAIN!" Midnight barked out while running her tongue slowly across the large bite mark she left.

"All yours!" Naruto squealed as a shiver crept up his spine. He arched his back and released an audible gasp before feeling lips press hungrily against his.

"All mine." Came her domineering voice as she grabbed Naruto's hands, entwining their fingers together before pinning his scrawy arms above his head.

Naruto gave no protest, the boy only letting out a constant serious of submissive squeaks and moans in response to Midnight's dominance.

While the two lovers went at it their bodies began to glow a deep, dark red. Chakra began to seep from their forms, the wispy essence rising into the air and swirling progressively faster around the couple. Neither of them seemed to pay any mind to the phenomena, completely lost within the thralls of their shared passion.

The chakra around them swirled faster and faster, growing darker and more thick over time until it completely encased the two on the ground. It solidified, forming a demonic cocoon around them similar to when Naruto first transformed into a demon. The pleasure filled noises the two made were now gone, silenced to anyone outside the dome. Inside of it was quite another story. They would remained encased in that cocoon for together for many hours to come.

Thanks for reading. Please review~

You guys have no idea how hard it is to keep this from becoming X-rated. I'm trying to keep this appropriate for teens but it's kind of a challenge. The demons need to be doing what demons do! But I understand that Naruto still seems too young. I'll restrain myself~ Hope you enjoyed. See you all Sunday morning!
