"Dear Kyuubi,

I think my S.O is cheating on me and no longer finds me attractive. We've been together for many years now. Lately they've been spending a lot of late nights out, we also no longer go on dates...and I can't remember the last time they told me that they love me too.

I used to be called beautiful during my youth but as age comes...it seems beauty fades. I've been thinking about getting some surgery done, perhaps then they'll love me again.

Help me,

-Forgotten Partner-

Dear Forgotten Partner,

I think that your S.O and you need to sit down and have a serious conversation on what you are both feeling. Love should not be something shallow that disappears with physical beauty.

Perhaps it's time to remind each other why you fell in love. Have you asked them why they've been coming back so late...and do you trust them?

On the topic of plastic surgery...will it bring true happiness to you? Only you can make that decision.

I hope that things work out with your S.O, please do let me know and thank you for reaching out to me, believe it!

XoXo Kyuubi XoXo"

This past week had been...overwhelming to say the least. The response to Shukaku's question was amazing, everything from videos to even requests for Kyuubi and Shukaku to go and see for themselves what is human nature. It ranged from them visiting a kindergarten classroom to Shukaku going to work with someone and even a meeting between a couple who were divorcing.

Naruto has been thinking about what to do, the whole point of this blog had been to silently help others while staying anonymous...but he had to admit that he was curious. Hardening his resolve he looked through his personal archive where he kept the contact information that his members put in case they wanted to be contacted.

"Dear Shukaku,

How are you doing? I hope all is going well, believe it! I am unsure if you've seen the responses on the comment session to your question. Some of the other readers have been reaching out, offering to show you by experience what are some human natures...if you are interested I thought we could try to go to some...there are some by videochat if you'd prefer as well.

I understand wanting to remain anonymous...if you'd like to go but don't want to reveal your identity to them and myself, we could perhaps wear a disguise? Just a thought.

Errm...I truly do hope I am not bothering you, looking forward to hearing from you again.

The blonde spent the rest of the day waiting for a response as he cleaned his house and went about doing his daily chores.

Naruto heard his phone ring, knowing who it was by the ringtone "Hello Sakura-chan, how are you?" He brightly asked, going to make his coffee.

"Hey Naru...I am alright, same old same old, you know? How are you? I've not heard from you in a few weeks and was starting to get worried. Have you been going to your sessions? It's not good to stay hidden away in that house! I am worried about you...I really am." His best friend replied, sounding worried.

"I am doing great Sakura-chan, promise! Yes, I've been going to the sessions...and doing my exercise and running daily. Sorry I haven't called you in a while just busy with work but that's not an excuse. How are things at the hospital? Remember to take your breaks and have some days off!" The blonde exclaimed, feeling guilty for making his best friend feel worried.

"Things are hectic as always, I am actually on my break right now...remember, if anything starts hurting too much or if you feel unwell reach out to me ASAP, okay?" There were some background noises coming from Sakura's phone, it sounded as if someone was shouting something to her.

"I will, promise. Hey Sakura before you go...how is he?" The tan male's voice softened, feeling an ache in his chest.

"...No improvement, I am sorry Naruto." There was so much pain hidden behind those words, a type of pain that only those that went through it together could understand.

"So am I Sakura...so am I." After Sakura hung up he finished making his coffee with a dazed look on his face. 'Apologizing is accepting whatever punishment gets given to you...but why must this punishment be so cruel?' The blonde thought, shaking his head. There was no point in feeling down!

Naruto got his response from Shukaku the next day, he had been checking his email like he did every morning after his run.

"Dear Kyuubi-san,

I am well, thank you and yourself? Yes, I have seen the responses thank you for letting me know.

I can attend those that are located in Floret, NY or are online please let me know which works best for you.

Kind Regards,

Shukaku"

Naruto grinned, thinking about meeting Shukaku finally. He quickly checked his schedules and the different requests then made a list of the ones closest to Shukaku and the ones online.

"Dear Shukaku,

What a coincidence, I live near Floret just a twenty minute drive! I've gone through the different requests. There are 2 events next week Friday and Saturday in Floret. The Friday one is for the kindergarten request and comes from a mother who says her child is called a monster, there is meant to be a school event. She'd like it if we could go so that we can see a mother's love but also how hurtful people's ignorance can be. Saturday's event is a divorce meeting then there are a few ones through video chats.

I am looking forward to meeting you!

Feel free to contact me at 633-018-8274 before the events, I tend to be up late into the night.

XoXo Kyuubi XoXo"

A few hours later Naruto was getting a phone call, he stared at the unknown number but saw the code, a funny feeling in his stomach as he picked up "Hello...is this Shukaku-san?" He brightly asked.

"Yes...is this Kyuubi-san?" Naruto was surprised by the deep and hoarse voice he heard, but it was not unpleasant.

"Yes! I am glad to have a chance to speak with you, Shukaku-san! Thank you so much for following me for so long, I truly appreciate it, believe it! I am unsure how you want to do this but I can either pick you up somewhere or we can meet close to the events, either is fine by me." The blonde could barely keep still, tapping on his desk.

"...We can meet close to the event." Was the answer Naruto was given. Shukaku reminded the blonde of one of his best friends, there was a certain calmness in the aloof way that the other male talked.

"Okay! I was thinking about making some masks for the Friday event so that the children could have some fun...maybe animal themes. Is the Racoon your favorite animal? I noticed that it's in your signature!"Naruto was already warming up to Shukaku and they've barely talked...it was a flaw that the blonde had.

"...Favorite animal?I do not know." Shukaku replied, almost quietly then went silent.

Luckily the blonde was used to being around quiet people and filling in the silence. "I think Racoons are quite cute, at least the baby ones but when they are adults they are not as cute...quite greedy honestly. I used to see them often when I was younger but not so much here." Okay, this was more of him nervously ranting instead of filling in the silence. "Errmmm...Hello? Sorry, am I talking too much? I tend to do it when I am nervous, just tell me to shut up if its annoying and I will...also doesn't help I drank 4 cups of black coffee instead of 2 today, can you get high on coffee? I think I might be high on coffee." The blonde heard a snorting sound and grinned.

"You are fine, Kyuubi-san...I am unused to conversing with others." The quiet, deep voice replied.

"Oh then you'll fit right in with me, I never shut up! Sasuke used to call me an idiot and tell me to shut...up." Cerulean eyes saddened at the thought of his best friend, shaking his head and reminding himself that there was no point in being sad. "Anyways, my closest friends ironically are the reserved and quiet type. My other friend, Shikamuru...he's a freaking genius but like the laziest person I've ever met, not like me, I am pretty stupid."

"I do not think you are stupid, Kyuubi-san. You saved me." It was very blunt and firm, making Naruto feel a warmth spread through his body as he blushed brightly.

How could Shukaku say that so easily without a hint of embarrassment? Naruto was quiet for a moment then smiled brightly "Thank you, Shukaku-san, I truly appreciate it, believe it!" Then he thought about something "Are you perhaps Japanese since you keep using Japanese honorifics?"

"...Euroasian." Shukaku quietly replied.

"Really?! So am I...well partially from what I was told." Naruto brightly replied "My father was Russian and Japanese, my mother was Japanese."Why was he telling this stranger something so private? Naruto was not one to talk about his parents but it felt as if Shukaku and him have known each other for a long time.

After a minute or so of silence, Naruto heard the deep voice once again "Hm." It was enough for the blonde who smiled brightly and laughed.

"If you ever want to talk or reach me feel free to contact me on this phone, I always have it near me!" Naruto happily offered, trying to imagine Shukaku, probably someone much older by the way that the reserved man acted and sounded.

"Very well, I shall see you Friday...thank you, Kyuubi-san." With that the reserved man hung up the phone.

Naruto stared at his phone, then hung up as well and rested a hand on his chest, feeling his heart speed up with excitement. He couldn't wait for friday!

'Just give this world another chance, Naruto...I promise that you'll find your purpose as well...I promise kiddo.'
