Last time:
"If you all train hard today, I'll give you a mission tomorrow."
Naruto jumped up and pumped his fist in the air.
"Bring it on!"
(-)
Airashii got up, and grabbed Naruto's arm.
"Come on," She said, "We'll train over here." The dark haired kunoichi led him to a clearing on the other side of the training area, where they could get some privacy.
"Sit down" She instructed. Naruto followed her order, and sat down Indian Style across from her.
"Naruto, do your team mates know that the Kyubi is sealed inside of you?" She asked. The answer to this question would determine where and when they could do their training.
"Umm, No." The blonde cyclone replied, leaning back against a tree.
"Do you mind if they know?"
"Well, I'm afraid that they might treat me different, but other than that, I don't really care if they know."
"Alright then, we can go back out to the normal training grounds now."
(-)
Sakura and Sasuke basically stayed in the same place.
"So, Sasuke-kun, what are you going to teach me?" The pink haired genin asked, giggling.
"You obviously don't know very many techniques, and your taijutsu is horrendous."
Sakura sweat dropped.
"I guess we'll start by doing one hundred kicks to this log with each leg." The two genins walked up to the upright logs, and Sakura started kicking one, while Sasuke kicked another.
(-)
"Alright Naruto, close your eyes." Airashii said. Both she and Naruto were seated on the ground in a meditative position. Airashii was naturally giving off a purple haze of chakra, but this chakra had no hint of red, and her appearance was normal.
"Now," said the genin turned sensei, "I want you to delve into the dark corners of your mind. Your goal is to come in contact with the Kyubi, while still being aware of you senses. Concentrate on contacting the Kyubi."
Airashii was already deep in her mind having her own conversation with the Rokubi.
(-)
Naruto walked down a long damp hallway, not really knowing where he was going, to simply put it, he was searching the deep depths of his mind. He saw to glowing spots at the end of the hall way, so he kept going. As he got closer to those spots, he realized that they were inside a cage. So this was where the Kyubi resided. Naruto walked up to the cage.
'Ahh, so this is my container,' said the demon fox, his eyes glowing brighter now.
'Impressive huh?' Naruto said back, striking a pose.
'I can't believe they put me in a midget.'
'Hey!' Naruto exclaimed, 'I'm going to be Hokage one day, and you're in my body, so if I die, you die! You better show some respect! I put up with being shunned for most of my life because of you!'
'What do you want kid?'
'Ahh, so this is the Kyubi.'
Naruto turned around, surprised to see Airashii standing behind him. Accompanying her was the haze of a giant weasel like creature, with the same mark on its face that Airashii had.
'How did you get in here?' Naruto asked
'I don't know. I'm thinking that it has to do something with our chakra combining, and the fact that we both have biju. All biju containers probably all have some weird connection or something like that.'
'Ahh… She's a smart one kid,' the Kyubi said to Naruto, 'Now what do you want?'
'He's come to make a contract with you, like my container did with me,' Interrupted the Rokubi
'And what are the terms of this contract?' The Kyubi asked.
'You lend Naruto your power whenever he wants it, and you help him out. Kind of like mentoring.' Airashii said. These where the same terms for her contract with Raiju, the Rokubi.
'And what do I get in return?' The Kyubi asked.
'What do you want?'
'Even though I'm a demon, I do get a bit lonely. I want permission to enter his mind and talk to him whenever I feel like it.'
Airashii sweat dropped. Were all the biju like this? The Rokubi had requested the same thing.
'What do you say Naruto? Is it a deal?' The Kyubi asked the small blonde boy.
'I accept'
'Now Naruto, write your name in blood underneath the seal.' Airashii instructed.
Naruto made a small cut on his thumb with a Kunai, and did as he was told.
They both snapped out of his mind, and returned back to reality.

Sakura lay on the ground, looking beat. She had never done so many punches, kicks, jumps, and sit ups in her entire life. Sasuke, as usual, was being his cool self and leaning against a tree. There was a look on his face that told you he was fatigued though.
"So, Sasuke-kun," Sakura said, sitting up, "Do you have any plans for tonight?"
Sasuke sighed. She asked him this almost every time the met. "No Sakura, I don't want to go out with you."
"Why not?" She whined, obviously upset despite the numerous times he has turned her down.
"Because, you're annoying. I don't want to say this, but I'd rather hang out with Airashii than you. At least she's more concentrated on training than she is on her looks."
Sakura hung her head and sweat dropped.
'If he likes Airashii because she trains more, than I will too!' she thought, determined, and got up.
"Come on!" She said, "What are we going to do next."
(-)
Naruto stood up and brushed him self off, as did Airashii.
"Fur ball, are you there?" Naruto said out loud.
'Yeah, I'm here.'
Airashii stared at the blue orange clad genin. Boy was he thick.
"He's in your mind dobe. You don't have to talk to him out loud, just think to him, if that makes sense."
"Oh," Naruto said, sweat dropping.
"Since he's in your mind, The Kyubi can hear and see everything you do. And if were in close enough vicinity, I can also hear the Kyubi, due to the fact that I was there when you made the contract, and because the Rokubi is in me. My old mentor once told me that all the biju had a mental connection, so I guess it kind of carries on to their containers. Right fur ball?"
'Ah, you are clever. And correct.' The Kyubi said.
'I know it.' Airashii shot back at the Kyubi. She was amused to see the reaction on Naruto's face from having heard her voice in his head.
"Does this mean that you can read my and the Kyubi's thoughts?" Naruto asked. He didn't want someone to be able to know what he was thinking.
'Only if you or the Kyubi specifically direct them at her. Like wise, you can't read Airashii's and my thoughts unless we direct them to you and the Kyubi.'
Naruto jumped about three feet. "Ahh! Who are you?" Naruto yelled out loud, causing him to receive weird looks from the rest of team seven.
The Rokubi sighed. This kid was REALLY dumb.
'I'm the Rokubi'
'Oh, that giant rat that was with Shii-chan?'
'I AM NOT A RAT! I'M A WEASLE!' The Rokubi boomed in Naruto's head. Naruto whimpered, and Airashii laughed. Training with Naruto was going to be fun.
(-)
Sasuke looked over to where Airashii and Naruto were training. They looked like they were having fun. For a second Sasuke wished he was training with Airashii instead of Sakura.
'Whoa! What am I thinking? She hate's me and I hate her, Don't I?' He lingered on that thought a moment, then banished it from his head, and continued running around the training field with Sakura.

Wow, this chapter is pretty long compared to my other ones, but I really like it. I feel like I know what I want when it comes to pairings, but I still like votes, because my mind may change depending on what the public wants! Leave reviews! I love constructive crit!
