Truth Revealed and Hanyou's Talk

It has been a number of hours since everyone had gone to his or her rooms, but there were still quiet a few that were still awake talking or thinking about someone. One of these groups was Naruto and Hinata.

Kitsury's right I need to tell Hinata about Kyubi. Naruto had finally decided

" Just do it! I don't think you'll need to worry, Kit. After her reaction, ask her what her opinion is of what the others would say." Kyubi said

You sound as if she won't have a problem with it. Naruto said

" You'll see Kit, you'll see." Kyubi answered

Unbeknownst to the couple Inari has snuck into the room before the ruckus with Kankurou and Sakura and she stayed near till Naruto had told Hinata.

Come on Kit just tell her already. She loves you and won't care about anything my Otou-san did. Inari thought

"Um, Hinata." Naruto started

"Huh?" Hinata responded

" We've been going out for a while now, right?" Naruto asked

" Uh-huh, it's almost been a year now that we've been officially dating. Including my Otou-san's approval." Hinata said

" Well… there is still something I haven't told you and well…" Naruto stopped

I don't know if I can do this if she rejects me the others will too and I don't know what I'll do if no one will accept me for something that wasn't even my fault. He thought

"Naruto, whatever it is I won't think any differently of you." Hinata said smiling

Naruto just shook his head frowning

" Don't make promises you can't keep, Hinata." He said

" I don't and you know it! Now spill it Naruto-kun!" Hinata said demandingly

" I'm…" Naruto started

" You're what?" Hinata questioned

" I'm really…" Naruto continued

" Un-huh." Hinata said

" This" at that Naruto held up Hinata's plush Kyubi doll

" You're a plushy?" she questioned

" No, not the plushy. I'm what the plushy is of." Naruto said

" A Kyubi?" Hinata questioned again.

With that Naruto nodded his head.

" How can you be the Kyubi, the Fourth killed him." Hinata stated

At this Naruto did something Hinata had never seen him do before he started crying.

" Naruto-kun, what's wrong?" Hinata as now very upset that her boyfriend was crying

" He …di..dn't k…ill it Hi..na..ta!" Naruto said in between sobs

This shocked Hinata if the Fourth didn't kill the Kyubi, then what had happened to it. Then everything clicked into place.

Usagi was looking at both Naruto-kun and Gaara, when they were looking for both Kyubi and Shukaku. Kitsury talking to Naruto alone and giving him the plushy, it all makes sense now. Hinata thought

" Oh Naruto-kun." was all she could say and hugged the now crying kitsune container

That's why most of the villagers look at him the way they do. They think he's the Kyubi and not it's container. I'm grateful Otou-san isn't one who thought he was the demon. Hinata thought

" So… you two are alright now then?" Inari asked coming out from her hiding spot

" Kit, have you been in here the entire time?" Hinata questioned. Naruto was at a loss for words.

" Yes, Kyu asked me to watch you because she knew Naruto might tell you his secret. She didn't want him getting hurt. Even though, we knew what your reaction would be. We still worry for Naruto." Inari explained

"Naruto-sama…" Inari said next, which caused Naruto to look at the fox

"I'm sorry Naruto-sama, but like Kyu said you are now our friend and even though it was wrong of me to do this we had to watch over you." Inari then bowed and began to open the door with her tail and leave.

"Kit, wait." Naruto said with that Inari turned around

" Tell Kyu thank you and that I'll tell the others before I leave here." Naruto stated

Inari just bowed again and shut the door behind her.

" They really care for you even though we have barely known them a day." Hinata said

" Yeah, how anyone can think they are evil or mean is beyond my knowledge." Naruto said " So, your Ok with Kyubi being in me Hinata?" Naruto asked

" He's in there to help you and Konoha now, whatever evil he did in the past are being undone by the good you've done and will do in the future as the Hokage." She stated

" I love you so much, Hinata." Naruto said as he exhaustedly fell asleep in Hinata's arms. She just wanted to watch him until finally sleep overtook her.

Outside the room

" How did it go Kit?" Kitsury asked

" Well, what we expected." Inari said

" He also told me to tell you thank you and he'd tell the other before he leaves here." She added

" Now I can go to sleep, finally!" Inari stated tiredly

" Actually Kit, I'm having trouble going to sleep. I think I'm going to see if Kiba and Akamaru are still up. Want to come with?" Kitsury said

" Why not." Inari said

At that Kitsury and Inari headed to Kiba and Akamaru's room.

Kitsury opened the door slowly not to wake Kiba up. She just wanted some company and even if he was asleep that was all right for her.

I'll just sleep on the floor since the lights are out. Kitsury thought not knowing about the other bed

But before she could close the door she heard a voice.

" Hey! Hey! Whose there?" Akamaru barked

" Hush Akamaru, it's just me and Kitsury." Inari answered

" Yes please be quiet Akamaru. I don't want to wake up Kiba." Kitsury pleaded softly

" Too late for that." said a groggy Kiba "Man Akamaru, why did you have to do that? You could tell from their sent who they were." Kiba added

" You never know Kiba." Akamaru replied smiling

"I'm sorry Kiba, it's just that game Anuki bought has me a little freaked and I couldn't go to sleep. I thought that since you invited me earlier it would be alright for me and Kit to at least sleep on the floor in here." Kitsury said

Kiba could tell she was upset and that something was troubling her.

" What do you mean sleep on the floor! There is another bed in here you can sleep on that." Kiba said

With that Kitsury's ears perked up. He wasn't mad at her for waking him up, actually he sounded happy she had come to see him.

"Um…Ok." Kitsury said as she walked over to the other bed and sat down on it.

At this time Akamaru jumped off of Kiba's chest and went to Inari who had found a large sleeping pad for dogs. She then curled up in it and fell asleep with Akamaru covering her to protect her.

" Humph, well that's a first." Kitsury stated

" What do you mean?" Kiba asked while looking at the scene their two partners had made

" Well… Kit is like me not very outgoing, but she just warmed up to Akamaru like she knew him for years. The same goes for everyone else in your group. Back home she has all kinds of kitsune's chasing after her to be her mate. But she refuses them; most are only after her because she's the daughter of Kyubi and strong. She just says that they're not the right one and he's still out there. Looks like she finally found him." Kitsury grinned. "I also might add that I approve greatly. Those two are so similar. To me Akamaru is just a dog version of Kit."

" So it the same way for Kit too." Kiba said now looking at Kitsury

" Huh?" she asked

" Akamaru's the exact same way. He is very leery at first, but then protective of his pack. Of course, you know most of it comes from their companions." Kiba said

" Yeah, it's just like I told Naruto." Kitsury said warmly

" What did you tell that loudmouth blond?" Kiba asked a little jealous that Kitsury had talked more with Naruto that with him. Kitsury could smell that he was upset, but she found this funny and started laughing.

"Nani?" Kiba asked

" You're jealous." Kitsury said

" Maybe" he said blushing

" Don't be Naruto's just a friend, he has Hinata. I just told him that we have similar personalities because of unusual circumstances." She said

" What to you mean?" he asked

At that Kitsury got rather upset and her ears drooped again.

" I'll be explained later Kiba. I'm not at liberty to tell you about Naruto's personal life. Just let me tell you one thing. He has had it much harder than he lets on. You could say a lot of the times he wears a mask so on one knows the true Naruto. But, I'm able to see through it because I wear one a lot too." Kitsury said sadly

At that she started crying. This upset Kiba knowing a friend he really like, even more than Hinata was upset over something. It hurt him hard in the chest. Kiba got off his bed and headed to the bed Kitsury was currently on.

" Come on Kitsury. It's all right. Nothing bad is going to happen as long as I'm here." Kiba said comfortingly

" Kiba, people can be cruel…especially towards hanyou's… But you and your…friends have welcomed us…in with the same warm..th we have received f…rom our village. It's not just hanyou that people..fear though, it's what they d..on't understand. Just lis.ten to me." Kitsury said as she tried to stop crying

"Ok" Kiba said worried

" Whatever happens, whatever Naruto tells you don't blame him it wasn't his fault. Ok." She said

" Yeah, Kitsury, but I'm confused now." He said

" You won't be soon." She said and continued crying

Kiba just held her until she was quiet. He then looked down and saw she had fallen asleep. He smiled.

How anyone could hate any of these girls is beyond my knowledge. Each one is so kind and gentle. How people think they are worse than demons are just stupid. He thought

With that he fell asleep holding Kitsury in his arms.

When Kitsury had shut the door to Kiba's room, it had woken up Ninjin who woke up Usagi who was having a bad dream.

" Usagi, you ok?" Ninjin asked

" Yeah, hey were did Kitsury go?" Usagi asked

" She went to talk to Kiba, I think?" Ninjin answered

" Good for her. I'm going to go talk to Lee them." Usagi said smiling

Ninjin just shook her head. She knew were this was going. So they both headed to Lee's room. Inside Lee had yet to go to sleep, but was doing exercises.

" Lee, what are you doing?" Usagi asked

" OH, MY WONDERFUL BEAUTY, I'M DOING MY BEDTIME EXERCISES." Lee explained

" Isn't that going to keep you up?" Usagi questioned

" NO, IT HELPS ME GO TO SLEEP FASTER." Lee answered

" Ok, well it is alright if I stay with you tonight. That stupid game of Anuki's scared me and I'm having problems sleeping." Usagi said

" YOSH, MY LADY YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME! THERE IS AND EXTRA BED OVER THERE." Lee said and then pointing to the extra bed

" Ok, thanks Lee and night." She said and got into the bed

" OH YES, GOODNIGHT MY LOVELY MAIDEN." Lee stated

At this Usagi smiled and went to bed as did Lee.

Back in the living room Leaf had woken up by feeling cold. She looked around and found everyone else was gone.

" Hey, Anuki." Leaf said trying to wake Anuki up

" Nooooo" Anuki wined

"Anuki, everyone's gone." Leaf said

" Please, just 5 more minutes with my Gaara-kun." She said sleepily

Leaf just rolled her eyes" YOU BAKA HANYOU WAKE UP NOW!"

With that Anuki was wide-awake.

" Man, did you have to change your voice to sound like my dad, Leaf. Give me a heart attack why don't you." Anuki said upset

" Everyone's gone." Leaf repeated

" Huh, oh! They are probably gone to stay with their new guy friends." After her statement Anuki smiled evilly and her ears twitched.

" What are you thinking, Anuki?" Leaf questioned suspicious of her partner

" No one is here to stop me." Anuki said gleefully

" I'm here." Leaf added

" You don't count. Let's go to Gaara-kun's room." Anuki said

" Un-uh, I know what you'll do." Leaf said

" Ara, me do anything?" Anuki said looking innocent

" Yea, that won't work on me you know. Seen it one too many times." Leaf said

" Pleeeeeese, I don't like sleeping on this hard floor Leaf." Anuki pleaded

" You're not, you're sleeping on a futon." Leaf explained

" But, the rooms have nice beds. They also have a bed for pets." Anuki said cunningly

" Well, ok." Leaf said caving in

" YATA!" Anuki shouted

" But be quiet!" Lead added

" Hai." Anuki whispered

With that Anuki and Leaf headed to Gaara's room. They made sure not to wake him. Since the girls had shown up Shukaku had become relaxed and was letting Gaara sleep.

What is this? Huh, she's already making her move. You go Anuki; he needs someone to show him everything he was deprived of as a child. Shukaku thought

Shukaku let Gaara sleep and knew there was no problem. With that Anuki got into Gaara's bed and fell asleep with him becoming her giant plushy.

The next morning Gaara woke up, but found he couldn't move.

This is unusual what's going on? Gaara questioned to himself

He then looked to his right and saw Anuki in bed with him. She was awake and watching Gaara.

" Was it as good for you as it was for me?" Anuki asked

" NANI!" Gaara screamed

His scream could be heard through out the Onsen. Everyone woke up and headed straight for Naruto's room, but when they found out it wasn't him. They then headed to the only other person who hadn't come, Gaara.

" Nani? How does he do it?" Kankurou asked looking at the scene in front of everyone.

"He's nice, something you wouldn't know anything about." Temari said

There was Anuki beside Gaara in the bed. With Anuki looking very pleased with herself.

"Soooo, anyone going to remove her or not?" Gaara asked

"Anuki, what did you do?" Kitsury asked angrily

" Anything my little heart desired." Anuki told Kitsury

" Why you!" Kitsury said

" She didn't do anything." Leaf yawned, " She just came in her and fell asleep with Gaara that's all. Nothing else."

Everyone sweat dropped because of what Anuki had said earlier.

" So, what was the "anything my little heart desired" huh Anuki?" Kitsury said

" Kyu-ane-chan is nasty. I just have to be near Gaara-kun to be happy." Anuki said

" Baka Tanuki." Kitsury said as she left the room to get ready to go to breakfast.

At this time Gaara decided to ask Shukaku why he didn't tell him about Anuki coming into his room.

So you didn't wake me why? Gaara asked

"Didn't need to. She wasn't going to hurt you." Shukaku stated

Her not taking advantage of me while I sleep the first time in 13 years is not taking advantage of me! Gaara screamed at Shukaku

" Believe me cub; if she was going to hurt you I'd of woke you up in a second. She's not like that though she cares for you. Probably even love you!" Shukaku explained

But I don't even know her. Gaara said

"She knows me and probably found out as much as she could about you and knows your past." Shukaku said

And she still wants to be with me knowing that. Gaara said confused

With that Gaara got up and walked out of the room with Anuki on his tail. This confused everyone! Not Anuki's actions, but Gaara by not killing Anuki for her actions. With this everyone else went to get ready to go to breakfast.

Ojii-san – Grandfather

Ara – Oh?

Yata – Yes/Yeah
