Ok guys, you'll have to forgive it's being gay again...
I've put up eight chapters (now nine :D) and some people say that they're not having any problem with them and they all work but some people (including myself) keep seeing only 98 reviews or six chapters or things like that. Those of you who have worked with for a while know exactly what I'm talking about right?
Anyways
W00t! Nine chapters now! And don't worry! A plot will be coming soon... if not in this chapter then it'll be in the next couple of chapters. I have to be honest though. I didn't make some long plotting thing for this story. I'm just making it up as I go along and I'm always playing with different ideas so suggestions are welcome. I love you all!!
OH WAIT! I just thought of something! LISTEN! If you're having troubles reading the other chapters then use the link at the top and where there is the single number (in this chapters case it'd be nine) and put a different chapter number.
Now that I think about it though... if you're having trouble reading the other chapters... you probably won't be able to see nine... and that means I just wasted five minutes of writing time... –sigh-. Maybe I can put that on my profile! Yeah... that'll work :).
OK! One more thing and then I promise you can read the rest of the story... unless you just skipped over all of this and went on to read the story... But anywho I just noticed that I didn't put up what the numbers were for in the last chapter soooo here we are:
1 I think of Naruto and Shikamaru as best friends. Nothing more. I don't think of them as a couple, one-sided or otherwise. I just think of them as friends so sorry and shikanaru fans but I don't do that :3.
2 I just suck at writing dinner scenes or something... so um, yeah it's kinda just cut off there...
3 They have showers now, mmkay?
Warnings: the same

Erm... anything else important like that: the same
laziness is a beautiful thing x3
Recap:
"Oh! Kitsune, this is Sasuke! Sasuke, this is Kitsune!"
The fox-girl, Kitsune, walked over to Sasuke and stuck out her hand.
"Its nice to meet you Sasuke-kun."
Good Night My Knight!
Chapter 9: Enter the Fox Girl! Kyuubi no Kitsune!
Her vulpine like grin never faded as she shook Sasuke's hand. Her yellow eyes looking over him and she shook her head freely letting her short, spiky orange hair fall around her face. She wore a blue kimono with little butterflies all over it.
"You did good Naru-chan!" She said stepping back to look at Sasuke.
"W-What do you mean?" Naruto asked a little shocked.
"Hm?" Kitsune looked over to Naruto with a slightly confused look to her face, "Sasuke-kun is Naru-chan's mate is he not?"
"K-K-Kitsune! Please don't talk about that so open--"
"I am." Sasuke quickly cut in.
"Eh?" Naruto looked over to Sasuke; Naruto's face was fully flushed now.
How could Sasuke say that so calmly...even though... it was kinda truth? Ok it was true but that still wasn't something humans talked about openly.... at least, not in the 'mate' term.
Kitsune's fox-grin widened and she gave Naruto a large hug.
"That's great Naru-chan! I'm sure Sasuke-kun is a great person!"
"How are you so certain?" Sasuke asked, wondering how she could be so trusting.
"I can feel it." She said, "I can see it."
'I forgot... she is a fox demon...' 1 Sasuke thought to himself.
Sasuke sat and listened to Naruto and Kitsune as they caught up with new events. Kitsune talked of what she'd been doing, which was mainly hunting and being a fox and stuff like that... and Naruto talked about the palace. Kitsune seemed fascinated with the palace but Sasuke didn't dare ask her to live there. He didn't want to be the one to cage a rare site like the Kyuubi no Kitsune. It was then that the Kyuubi mentioned two people who sounded some how familiar to Sasuke, when he swore he'd never heard their names before.
"Oh! Naru-chan! Did you know that Tsunade and Jiraiya are coming back soon?"
"Really?! When?!"
Kitsune shook her head, "I don't know exactly either tomorrow or the day after... But I feel, strange. They are coming back on account of business."
"Jiraiya... Tsunade..." Sasuke muttered.
Kitsune and Naruto looked over to Sasuke.
"I've heard those names before... I think..." He said.
Kitsune nodded, "I wouldn't be surprised... but you've heard them as legends..."
Sasuke's eyes widened, "That's them!"
He stood up quickly from the rock he had been sitting on.
"I'm not surprised you have heard of them. The legendary Ninjas; Jiraiya and Tsunade."
xoxoxox
"Tsunade! If you don't hurry up we're going to be later than we already are."
"Shut up," The woman said from her place at the bar, "My feet hurt. We have time for a break."
"Tch." Jiraiya rolled his eyes high and gave an exaggerated sigh.
Tsunade downed the last bit of her sake before raising her cup again and shouting for seconds. Jiraiya swirled the last bit of his own sake and took another bite of the rice cake in front of him.
"You know... we shouldn't linger..." Jiraiya muttered.
"I know that... but..." Tsunade's eyes lowered, "Maybe I'm just not ready to see him again yet."
"Yeah. It's been a long time since we've seen Orochimaru.... but Kitsune says he's been up to something. She can feel it."
"Huuuh... Orochimaru is always up to something. He's been planning on overthrowing the Uchiha family for a century... maybe more."
"Yeah.... Kitsune seemed extra worried though. The negative energy coming from that section of Hidden Leaf has been pretty strong."
"Then how come only four of us can sense it."
"That's the ups of being one of the last ninja's I suppose."
"Guess so..."
xoxoxox
Kitsune's eyes filled with sadness as the end of the day was coming to a close. She enjoyed Naruto's company and he usually stayed for more than just a day...
"I'm sorry Naruto but we've got to start heading back."
"Just five more minutes Sasuke! I've still got to say goodbye to Kitsune!"
"Ugh—Hurry up then will you?"
Naruto flung himself onto Kitsune and the woman laughed.
"Don't worry Naru-chan... I'm positive I'll be seeing you again soon." She said embracing him.
"I know..." Naruto said pulling himself away from her.
"Come on Naruto." Sasuke said feeling slightly guilty for Naruto's sadness.
"I'm coming." Naruto started towards the way back and Sasuke was close behind him when he felt someone grab his arm.
He turned to see Kitsune. Her happy cheerful appearance was gone. Her eyes were filled with worry, a secret...
"Don't let Orochimaru near Naruto."
"How do you know Oro--?"
But it was too late. She was gone.
xoxoxox
Tsunade stretched out and yawned loudly.
"See! We're here a day early! I told you that sake would help get me going!" Tsunade said with a grin.
"Yeah, yeah..." Jiraiya mumbled.
The sun had set and the sky was filled with stars. Off in the distance from their place atop the waterfall they could see the Uchiha Castle and the small town surrounding it.
"There it is..." Tsunade whispered.
"Kitsune is waiting for us."
"Yeah but most likely she's gonna find us."
"I know, let's just go down now."
They went down into the Machimoto Valley to the bottom of the waterfall and just before Tsunade was going to say 'she's not here' there was a bright flash of orange.
"You're early. You surprised me..." Came a female voice.
Tsunade and Jiraiya looked up to a rock next to the waterfall.
"To be early is to be on time." Jiraiya said with a grin.
"So it is." Kitsune grinned back, "Now, shall we begin business?"
