Yay, I decided to write another chapter! Not much will happen in this chapter, but I felt it was needed to make Kyuubi show that he somewhat cares for Naruto's safety.
DISCLAIMER – Guess what! I was walking to the bathroom and I tripped on a note that said I didn't own Naruto… it was the second saddest moment of my life…
Note, I made a blooper in the last chapter. When Arashi and Kyuubi were speaking for the first time, Arashi said that he sealing Naruto in Kyuubi, it was meant to be Kyuubi in Naruto. Thank you for your time.

Kyuubi fox mode speaking
(In Naruto's house)
Koga put the child down on his bed, and he collapsed on the floor. Moonlight shown in from the window, revealing him. He looked back down at himself and muttered a few things to himself. He had decided to keep the black robe, and he brought sunglasses to shield his eyes from the public. He also wore a white T-shirt, and the same torn pants. The only difference this time was that he was completely covered in dirt, mud, and paint.
"My god, who knew shopping could be as difficult as destroying a village?" Koga muttered. He heard s snore coming up from the bed, and he glance at the child, a smile replaced his frown. "Looks like you enjoyed yourself.
Koga leaned against the wall in his son's room, and thought about the day that had passed.
(Several hours earlier)
"Daddy! What are we going to do today!" Naruto asked, jumping up and down. They had just left the Hokage tower, and were wandering around the town.
Koga winced slightly at the child calling him daddy, but quickly said, "Lets… go shopping. I could use some new clothes…"
"Shopping? That is the most boring thing to do!" Naruto yelled. He lowered his head and added, "No one ever lets me enter their shops anyways."
"Oh really? Well, that will change."
"Really?" Naruto asked as he looked up to his father figure.
Koga had a smile form on his face as he said, "Yep, anywhere you want to go we'll go first. Then I'll go shopping for some clothes."
Naruto had a huge grin on his face as he took hold on Koga's hand and they ran faster than anyone could keep their eye on them. Finally they arrived at a small shop, with a huge window filled with all kinds of candy.
"Can we go in there?" Naruto asked hopefully.
"Sure, I don't see why not." Koga said as he took hold of his son's hand and walked in.
The lady behind the counter looked up when the door opened, and her face turned into an evil grin. "Brat, you're not allowed in here."
Kyuubi smiled and closed his eyes and walked up to the person. When he reached the woman he opened his eyes and nearly yelled, "You WILL let him look around and buy, or else you'll face the wrath of ME!"
The lady fell to the ground in fear and stammered, "Take anything! Anything you want! Free, yes… it's all free for you!"
Koga smiled and looked back to his son, "Hey, the lady was nice enough to allow you to have anything you want."
Naruto smiled and grabbed handfuls of various candies, and filled up two plastic bags worth of candy, which Koga carried for the child. Naruto finally felt he was finished and turned to the counter where the lady was only allow her head to raise above the counter.
"Thank you for allowing me to come here!" He said as he waved his hands and left.
The lady felt her hateful gaze rise up for the child, but quickly suppressed it when she aw the red eyes of Koga looking straight into hers.
"Good bye…" She stammered out as the two walked out. She looked back up, and fainted right there.
(In the shopping district of the town)
The shopping district was huge, shops were lined up side by side, and there were multiple people walking around carrying various shopping bags. Koga got imitated quickly, and decided to ask his son where the shop he was looking for was.
"Ok Naruto, I need some new clothes, possibly a shirt, and maybe a few new pairs of pants…" Koga went on explaining to Naruto. "Do you know where I can find a store like this?" He asked a little irritated that the child was paying attention to some bug flying around his face.
"Um, lets go to where I got my clothes a few days ago!" The young child said as he took hold of Koga's hand and ran to a nearby shop. A bell rang as they entered where they both saw several people looking at them as if the plague has entered with them.
"Kyuubi chose to ignore them, and led his child over to a corner of the store. The were multiple racks with shirts and pants handing off them, which would make this an awesome place to hide.
"Ok, Naruto, stay here while I look around…" He pulled out the two bags of candy and said, "Here, eat these while I'm gone. I won't take too long."
Naruto nodded and began to munch on the candy that was laid in front of him. Koga nodded at the child and walked off to gather the clothes he needed.
He looked on all the racks but couldn't find any shirt that he felt would look good on him. "Too bright… too small… too stupid…" Koga began to get a little angry, so he decided to go up to the counter of the store.
"How may I help you?" The man behind the counter asked with a smile. Koga noticed some sunglasses for sale and took some so he wouldn't scare the man in front of him.
"Can you show me where I can find just a… -plain- shirt?" He stressed out the plain, and the guy nodded, and beckoned Koga to follow him.
"Is this what you're looking for?" The man asked as he raised up a completely white T-shirt. It had no designs or nothing on it, and he snatched it.
"Yes, this will do nicely, thank you for assisting me." Koga said as he walked to the back of the store. He could seriously care less about some new pants right now, he just wanted to get out of there.
"Naruto?" Koga asked as he saw two bags filled with candy without the person that was supposed to be eating them. "Naruto? Where are you?"
He grabbed both bags and quickly left the store, without paying for his new attire. The security alarm went off when he exited, and he turned around to see two ninja, probably low Chunin level, yelling at him to come back in and pay. Koga searched the pockets of his black robe; his red hair flew in the air as he frantically searched.
"Oh fuck… I forgot, I have absolutely no money…" Koga sighed.
"Then come back and give them back their things!" The two shouted at him.
"Sorry, but I don't feel like giving these things back… neither do I feel like explaining why." Koga turned around with two ninja after as he frantically searched the shopping district.
One of the Chunin put his hands together to form a few signs. Unable to hear him, Koga paid no attention to what he was going to do, but shortly fell down into a huge streak of mud. "What the hell!" Was all he shouted as his face entered the mud as well.
Koga dug himself out, and looked around, there were many people watching the events unfold before them, and the two Chunin stood right above him, with a smirk covering both of their faces. Koga quickly turned his confusion into anger, and got up to his feet.
Koga no! Do not fight here! Just run! Arashi screamed within his mind.
Why! Koga whined in his mind. He didn't bother for an answer as he replaced his hateful gaze with an annoyed one, and quickly took off from the two guards standing right there.
"HEY! Come back here!" The two Chunin yelled as they and a small crowd ran after Koga.
(Back in the Clothes shop…)
"Itachi! Why do we have to be shopping now?" A little boy with raven hair and onyx eyes whined to his older brother. He wore a blue shirt which was far to big for him which had the Uchiha symbol on its back, and he also had some shorts.
"Because, Father told us to go away from the house. If you looked closely enough, you would be able to tell that he was insisting on us to get some new clothes for you." Itachi explained to his younger brother. He wore a black shirt, and some blue pants.
"How can you tell that? It just sounded like he wanted us to hang out somewhere." The younger child said.
"Sasuke, you'll learn someday when you begin in the academy soon." Itachi said, patting his younger brother on the back. "Now just wait here while I go up to the counter and see if I can get something –plain- and not with all of these fancy designs…" Itachi mumbled as he went to the counter.
Sasuke sighed as he began to look through the clothes, but he fell back when a monster about his height jumped out at him. It was completely covered in clothes, and screamed at him. "Holy crap! What are you! Don't hurt me!" Sasuke said in a rapid session as he quickly ran out of the store without his older brother.
"Hey? Is anyone there?" The monster asked as it began to remove the clothes that was covering it. Once he got the last piece of clothing off, a tall man came walking towards him. The man leaned down to him and asked, "Have you seen a boy about your age that has raven hair?"
"Um… no I haven't mister…" Naruto muttered as he looked at the person.
"God, when I leave him for five minutes, he runs off to who knows where…" He sighed and said, "I guess I better go look for him…"
"Wait! Have you seen my daddy? He is really tall, and wear this huge black robe, and has red hair!" Naruto elaborated for the person.
"No… I haven't… Are you lost too? Here, follow me, I'll help you find your dad." The man reached his hand out and added, "By the way, you can call me Itachi."
Naruto ran away for a second and came back another second later, carrying two bags filled with candy. Itachi looked at them with a little surprise at first, but quickly replaced his frown with a smile and said, "I'll carry one for you, that way we can hold hands and we won't get lost."
Naruto nodded and allowed Itachi to hold one. "So, do you know where to look?" Naruto asked.
Itachi froze for a second and said, "Um… No I have absolutely no idea where to look…"
(In an alleyway, nearby the shopping district.)
"Is the monster gone!" Sasuke yelled to no one as he stopped running to lean against the wall. He looked back and surely there was no monster chasing him. "Thank you… I thought I was a goner for sure…" e said, suddenly he heard footsteps from behind him, and saw a person running right at him with a black robe.
"Stupid Chunin… calling in the ANBU to help capture me…" Koga muttered under his breath as he looked behind himself, completely oblivious to the boy right in front of him.
"Who are you? Why won't you stop! Wha-" Sasuke didn't have time to continue to ask questions when the man ran right into him. Koga tripped and hit the wall, causing a huge bang sound to go throughout Konoha…"
(On the roof of the building Koga and Sasuke are below.)
Up above two men, one wearing red with an M on his hat, and the other wearing green with an L on his hat were almost done carrying the paint up to the rooftop.
"Marino, this twenty pound bucket of paint sure is heavy…" Said a man as he set it down on the ledge.
"I know Lugani, I didn't think it would be so difficult to bring up here, I mean, it's only paint!"
"Not just paint, but RED paint!" The two strange men exchanged laughter.
"Ok, now lets begin painting up here, and help me get it off the ledge before it falls down…"
"Ok, I'm coming!" The two were about to grab the huge bucket of paint, but suddenly a huge bang sounds erupted from below, and the twenty pound bucket of paint fell over the edge.
"NO! The paint!" Yelled one of the men as he leaned over the rail.
"Man, that took us all day to carry up here!" The one in red cried.
"Here, at least I brought us some lunch!" The other said as he sat again the ledge with his companion.
"What would that be Lugani?"
"I brought…" He lifted the food above his head and shouted, "Mushrooms!"
"Oh boy! My favorite!" The two happily ate there for the rest of the day…
(Back in the alleyway…)
Koga finally got himself out of the wall, not without shooting the kid who made him trip a glare. He opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly a huge bucket of paint fell no him. "GAH!" Was all he could say before he was completely covered in red paint.
"Served you right monster!" Sasuke cheered.
"Monster? Hey, I'll show you who the real monster is!" Koga suddenly threw the bucket off of him to reveal a huge man who previously wore a black robe, now wearing a red one, grab the child. He was about to lecture the kid, but he heard people shouting.
"There's the shop lifter! Get him!"
Koga readjusted his sunglasses, and said, "Kid, you're coming with me, just call me Koga!" Koga suddenly jumped away from the ninjas while holding a child who was now terror struck.
Why did I have to go shopping TODAY? Sasuke shouted within his mind as the man was carrying him off.
(In the shopping district of the village.)
People shot Naruto evil glares, but quickly soften them when they realized who was holding his hand. Itachi nervously began to walk faster. Finally Naruto asked, "Itachi, why are you walking so fast?"
Itachi looked at the child with a hint of worry on his face and said, "Me? Walking too fast? Nah, you are just imagining things!" He then looked forward and practically began to drag Naruto.
"Ohmigosh! There he is girls! After him!" A girl shouted. Suddenly a few hundred footsteps could be heard behind both Naruto and Itachi.
Itachi turned his head around slowly. Once he saw the huge herd of girls, he could not hide the terror showing on his face as he shouted, "FANGIRLS!" He lifted Naruto up to him, and began to run at full speed away from the herd.
Itachi turned to corner, and stopped once again. Naruto looked ahead to where he saw a huge herd of men standing. One of them turned in their direction and said, "Hey guys! It's Itachi!" The rest turned around and all began to charge at him.
Itachi with more horror on his face showing this time shouted, "FANBOYS!" He turned around only to see his fan girls catching up, so he quickly jumped up onto the rooftops and continued to run. He looked down and his fans quickly began to run into the building to retrieve him, so he quickly began to jump rooftop to rooftop in hopes of avoiding the horde of fans.
"Itachi! Why do they all want to see you?" Naruto asked.
"It's nothing big! They all think I'm so great and all, you know."
"Why do they think you're great?" Naruto asked, a little curious now.
"Because, I'm just a very successful in my ninja career, but they think that I'll become a great figure someday, maybe even Hokage, AS IF I would want that much responsibility!" Itachi shouted.
"You might become the next Hokage?" Naruto asked.
Itachi nearly fell when he heard his companion's outburst, but decided to just say, "Possibly…"
"That is so cool! I want your autograph and also, do you think that you can make me your best ninja, and also--!"
"Hey! Only one request at a time!" Itachi said, sweat was pouring down his face now, not from exhaustion, but from being so nervous.
Suddenly both Naruto and Itachi heard screaming, and while in mid jump, Itachi noticed a huge red looking thing crashing right towards him. "Oh crap!" Itachi yelled as he and the other object collided with each other. They both fell down to the ground with a huge splat sound.
After a few minutes, Itachi and Naruto looked up, the other two things did the same. Finally after a few seconds Naruto said, "Daddy?"
The person in Koga's arms broke free, now covered in red paint he looked up to see Itachi and said, "Brother! Thank god you're here!"
The two groups finally reunited after what seemed like an eternity to the two boys, finally got ready to leave. "So, Naruto where the heck were you! I was… um…"
Worried! It is worried Koga! Arashi stressed in his mind.
"Right, I was worried about you! Never do whatever you did again!" He looked up to the guy and put his hand out and said, "Thank you for finding my son and… returning, him to me…" Koga said.
Itachi accepted the man's handshake, even though he was completely covered in red paint. "I thank you for finding my brother and returning him to me as well."
Before they could even start a conversation, or leave. The heard screaming coming from their left, and men shouting orders on their right. Suddenly the ANBU appeared on the right, and the fan girls/boys appeared on the left. "ITACHI! WE FOUND YOU AND YOUR CUTE LITTLE FRIEND!" The fans screamed as they rushed down in masses.
"Get the one in red, also get his little friend in red that helped him escape!" The ANBU yelled. Beginning to come down charging at their two targets.
"Ok, I'm Itachi, you?" Itachi quickly asked the man in red.
"Call me Koga… I'll help you and my son from the fan girls." Koga said.
"And allow me to help you and my brother with the ANBU." Itachi said.
Both of them took in fighting stances, and waited for their enemies to come at them. One of the ANBU about to hit the man painted in red was suddenly thrown aside as Itachi appeared to defend him. "Itachi! How could you assist this man?" An ANBU officer asked.
"He is… simply a friend of mine." Itachi stated.
Meanwhile a fan girl was about to jump on Itachi, but Koga appeared right there, and grabbed her wrist and threw her far away. "Why are you keeping us from our loved one?" They all shouted, adopting an angry glare in their eyes.
"He is… a friend of mine, besides, he can't be your true love if he doesn't love you back." Koga stated. The fans got extremely angry by this statement and charged at him in huge masses.
On to the side, Sasuke and Naruto were both cheering on their family members while they were munching on the candy Naruto had gotten earlier that day.
"You know, besides the fact that your dad carried me along with him –munch-, he is kind of cool!" Sasuke said to his new friend as he watched the fight.
"Yeah, same with -munch- your brother, he is really awesome." Naruto said to his first friend.
"So, want to play at the playground tomorrow?" Sasuke asked.
"Sure why not!" Naruto said. His four year old heart felt happy that day, finally able to have two new things in one day, a father, and a friend.
"Ok, I'll see you there." Sasuke said as he grabbed another handful of candy and munched on it some more.
"Awesome." Was all Naruto could say.
Back to the fight, the fans all began to leave with tears in their eyes as they realized that they could not reach their loved one with Koga standing in their way, and the ANBU began to just ask each other if fighting for stolen goods was such a great use of their skills.
"Itachi please… All we want is the money that the guy didn't pay for the things he stole. It isn't that much, I don't even know why we were even called out on this stupid mission…" The ANBU pleaded Itachi.
Suddenly Itachi's eye began to twitch and he turned around to his new friend and shouted, "THEY ARE AFTER YOU BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T PAY!"
"I'm sorry, but I didn't have enough money!" Koga said, trying to calm his friend down. Itachi calmed down, and took a good amount of money out of his pocket and threw it to the ANBU saying, "here, take it." The ANBU happily left right away.
"Heh, sorry about not telling you earlier…" Koga said.
Itachi was about to yell at the person again, but the two little kids ran up to them and said, "You two are so cool! I can't wait until we're ninjas so we can do things like that!"
Itachi smiled and looked back up to hi new friend and said, "Well, I guess I can forgive you… Thanks for helping me out with my fans."
"And thank you for helping me with the ANBU." They both shook each others hands and grabbed their child and walked away.
"Naruto! Remember! I'll be waiting for you at the playground!" Sasuke shouted at Naruto.
"I'll remember! Just you don't forget!" Naruto shouted back to his friend. All the while Koga and Itachi had a smile covering their face, as they left for home.
(Back to present…)
You sure had one hell of a day Koga… Arashi said within Koga's mind.
I know, but I think I could get used to this…" Koga muttered, That Itachi guy was very powerful, might be an awesome sparring partner…
Fighting… is that ALL you can think of? Arashi asked while sighing.
No, I thought about Naruto half of the day… Don't accuse me of that…Oh yeah, well, I better leave you so you can get some sleep, I believe there is a couch you can sleep on in the other room of this apartment… Arashi stated.
Koga got up and wandered into the room, and fell onto the couch. "I wonder what tomorrow will bring…"
CHAPTER TWO – ENDOk, no that that is over with, I can begin the next chapter. Itachi and Koga are now friends, s well as Naruto and Sasuke, there is no yoai, and so it will not go any farther than that, well, besides best friend, super cool friend, and awesome friend…
Well, many reviews have narrowed down the main pairing to NaruHina, that was probably what I was going to do anyways, that way I can possibly do SasuSaku. Those are the two main pairings in the story so far, please leave a review if you have any other suggestions on who else should be paired up.
I'll see you in Chapter three!
