"Speaking"

"Naruto talking to Kyubi in his head/or inner Hinata talking to Hinata"

"Demon speaking in mind"

Pink and Black Foxes –chapter 7

The sun was just rising over the horizon as the Hyuga Heiress looked out her bedroom window in thought. She had been training with Naruto in the early mornings, and then when he would leave to train with Jiraiya-san, Mikon-san would come and train her and Sakura-chan.

Over the last month Hinata had developed a friendship with the pink haired vixen. The two often meeting early before Hinata's training with Naruto and eat breakfast, often poor Naruto was brought the leftovers for his own breakfast. Hinata giggled at the remembrance of his pouting over that fact.

Not that it was either girl's fault, they had asked him if he wanted them to get him. When he found out they did this around 7 in the morning to avoid the Hyuga's clan he was quit vehement in his no way. With a sigh Hinata thought back to the request given to her at the beginning of the month.

…flash back…

Sakura and Hinata had just finished their first spar and Mikon had departed for his home. The two girls lay in the field they had trained in, both panting slightly from exertion. When Sakura had sat up and looked at Hinata.

Hinata had sat up as well and was about to ask Sakura what was wrong when the other girl did something the heiress never expected. Sakura stood up and got in front of Hinata and then bowed low to the ground on her knees. Seeing this shocked the somewhat timid girl into stuttering out "Wh..hat's wrong Sakura-san?"

Sakura glanced up and sighed as she looked down once more before speaking "Heir-sama, I know that you have just received your position and are still new to it. However I have a request of you."

Looking at the now silent girl it occurred to Hinata that she was waiting for permission to continue. Hinata nodded her head and said in a somewhat regal tone "I will hear your request." She got into a more dignified position that reminded her of her father at the clan meetings.

"Arigato Heir-sama, as you are aware I was ordered by Mikon-sama to hide my powers so that I would be placed on Naruto-san's team. What you are unaware of is that my seal was altered for that purpose, it is what is known as a limiter and as such I was truly weak as long as I wore it," said Sakura pausing for breath.

Before Hinata could reply the vixen continued her tale "While Naruto-san, myself, and Sasuke-kun were in the forest of death we were attacked by one of our clans enemies, none other than Orochimaru of the seenin. Due to the seal I was unable to aid either of my comrades when it counted and I now regret not getting Mikon-sama to remove it before the exams, it has now been removed but the damage has been done and only you Heir-sama can fix it."

As Hinata looked down at the now crying girl her heart went out for the story she was about to hear "Orochimaru incapacitated Naruto-san by placing a seal over Kyuubi-sama's, which Jiriaya-san has already taken care of. However not even Jiraya-san could undo the other seal. You see Orochimaru placed a seal on Sasuke-kun that will eventually corrupt his mind to a point were he will lose all that he is."

Hearing this caused the Hyuga to gasp in shock before the other girl continued "I humbly ask for Sasuke-kun to be accepted into the Kitsune clan. In receiving his clan seal the one Orochimaru placed on him would disappear completely. Sasuke is a strong fighter, and with time I believe he could become a strong ally with the Kitsune. All that is needed is time to show him the strength of our clan, and I am sure he will accept. Please think it over this month and let me know your answer before the final's start."

Getting to her feet the pink haired kunoichi bowed once more "I trust in your wisdom Hinata-sama." Hinata looked at the other girl and said "I will think it over Sakura-san."

…end flash back…

Hinata sighed at the dark sky looking at the small light just coming over the horizon she recalled the conversation she had had with Naruto-kun and Kyuubi-sama just last week.

…flash back…

Hinata had just arrived at the usual place for her training with Naruto-kun and as the blond dug into the leftovers he noticed Hinata looking at him with determination in her eyes. Looking back at her she finally spoke up "Naruto-kun, I would like an audience with both you and Kyuubi-sama please."

At her word the blond choked a little on his food in surprise. Quickly swallowing he nodded his head and held out his hand. Hinata's eyes got as big as saucers as she looked down at the hand before gulping and grabbing it, her face turning cherry red as she struggled not to pass out from the contact.

With a swoosh she found herself back in the field of flowers with the pillows laid out. She hurriedly sat on hers and pointedly looked away from Naruto who cocked his head to the side and asked "Are you running another fever Hinata-chan?"

Before the poor girl could stutter out an answer, Kyuubi made his presence known by bopping the clueless blond on the head. "Don't mind him Hinata-chan, he's an idiot about some things." As Kyuubi said these words two things happened: Naruto scowled at the fox lord and Hinata's face darkened farther then anyone thought was humanly possible.

Getting serious, Kyuubi asked "What did you wish to discuss?" Quickly finding her cool Hinata told them of Sakura's request "I have thought it over, and as I do not personally know Sasuke-san I believed that it would be best if I discussed it with you and Naruto-kun," she said finishing her story.

Naruto blinked at her before sighing "I think Sakura is right in wanting to bring Sasuke-teme into the clan. I also think that as long as Sakura-chan and I are on his team we can convince him of the benefits of being loyal." He looked over at Kyuubi asking silently for the great fox's opinion on the matter.

Kyuubi rubbed his chin then smirked "Okay, but I will be the one to give him his seal. Mikon, Naruto, Hinata, and myself should all be present as well." At this Naruto scowled nodding his head in reluctant agreement, all the while muttering about how crowded his mind was going to get. Looking at Hinata he said in a more formal tone "If that is alright with Hinata-chan?"

Hinata looked surprised before she said "That is acceptable." And with that they had reached an agreement.

…end flashback…

I hope this is the right decision. "What are you thinking! Of course it's the right decision!" echoed threw her mind causing Hinata to blink smiling softly with confidence she stood up just as a flash of pink appeared in her window. Looking out at the small fox on her window sill caused the Hyuga to smirk as she let it in.

Jumping down from the window sill the small three tailed fox looked up at the girl with big green eyes, her white tipped tails waving behind her as she shifted her form. And soon a fully clothed Sakura stood in Hinata's bedroom.

"Did anyone see you?" Hinata questioned in a mock serious voice. "Course not, I'm the best after all," came the reply from the smirking Sakura before both burst into laughter. It had been an ongoing ritual for Sakura to slip into the Hyuga compound in her miniature fox form and make her way to the lavender eyed girl's room after the first morning where the guards had refused to even ask Hinata if she was expecting company.

"Let's go then," said Hinata as she and the other girl proceeded to walk right out of the compound like it was nothing out of the ordinary for the pink haired girl to just appear within the compound, which it wasn't. As usual the pair were met with scowls as they passed the guards who couldn't figure out how the pink haired urchin, as they called her, kept getting in without their knowing.

As the two rounded the corner they both broke out in laughter as they made their way to the dango shop, having decided to eat something different for breakfast each morning. As they took seats Sakura got an anxious look on her face looking at her friend Hinata knew what the other girl was afraid to ask.

With a kind smile Hinata said "I have accepted your request." At which point Sakura squealed and gave the other girl a life threatening hug that soon had Hinata gasping for air. Blinking Sakura laughed and rubbed the back of her head. Hinata then got up and said "Speaking of which, you may go on to the stadium. Naruto-kun and I will be taking care of it this morning."

With a nod the two parted ways Hinata heading the way her new improved senses told her Naruto was waiting for her in. Jumping to the roofs she quickly made her way out of the town and into the forest where she took to the trees. Soon she landed beside Naruto who was observing Sasuke's last minute training with Kakashi.

Looking at Hinata, he nodded and walked into the clearing startling both occupants to the point that he had to dodge various thrown weapons. "Hey! Hey! Guys come on, is that anyway to treat a teammate?"

Kakashi blinked at the blond how did he sneak up on us? Sasuke who was having similar thoughts scowled at being interrupted. Rolling his eyes Naruto looked at Kakashi and said "Jiraiya-ero-seenin said that if you meet him at the porn shop in ohhh 2 minutes, he will give you a limited edition not-yet released copy of Make Out Paradise.

Kakashi very much aware of who had been training the blond got a far away look in his eye before looking at Sasuke and saying "That's enough training you are more then ready for the exams, see you there." And with that the copy ninja poofed away.

Walking out from behind the rock, and surprising Sasuke yet again, Hinata frowned at Naruto saying "You shouldn't have lied to him." Sasuke's eyes got big at this announcement. Naruto frowned and said "I didn't lie…don't ask me what I had to do to get Ero-seenin to agree to keep him busy." At this announcement Sasuke narrowed his eyes as both Hinata and Naruto got in what he deemed his personal space.

Before he could say anything a man stepped out of the woods. "Glad you could make it Mikon-san," said Naruto to the russet haired man who smirked at he stood behind Naruto. Much to Sasuke's shock Naruto proceeded to grab his and Hinata's hands as Mikon placed one of his on Naruto's back.

With a dizzying swirl the Uchiha found himself in a clearing of wild flowers amidst the flowers sat three pillows one ocean blue, one dark red, and the last was pale lavender. Naruto, Kyuubi, and Hinata each sat on their pillow before Naruto sighed looking at the two newcomers before two new pillows wavered into form. The five pillows formed a circle.

Naruto's had a black silk pillow to his right and Hinata sat to the right of the black pillow, and Kyuubi was to her right. The russet pillow being between Naruto and Kyuubi. Mikon took his seat on the russet colored pillow and all four looked pointedly at Sasuke who scowled and said, "What is going on here? How did we get here, and for that matter where is here?"

Naruto blinked and answered the questions in order "We are offering you a spot in our clan, I brought us here, and this a part of Hinata-chan's mind." Sasuke's eyes widened to a size that should not have fit on his face as he sat on the black pillow in shock. Hinata looked at Naruto and said "Why my mind?"

Naruto looked thoughtful before answering "Well mine is a bit more…hot then you guys are used to, Kyuubi's was out of the question since you're a girl, I haven't ever been in Sasuke's or Mikon-san's, and yours is the most comfortable."

Hinata gulped and blushed looking down before looking back up and asking "Why would I not be able to enter Kyuubi-sama's mind because I'm a girl?" Naruto looked at Hinata and deadpanned. "Because he's a pervert." Kyuubi made a funny face and said "I would take offense to that remark if you weren't my container."

Mikon laughed and added "And if it weren't true." Which earned a scowl from his leader. Sasuke having gotten over some of his shock asked "What do you mean offering me a spot in your clan?"

At which point Naruto, Hinata, and Mikon all looked at Kyuubi who groaned before beginning his story for what seemed to him the hundredth time "I'm sure you are aware of the nine tailed fox that attacked Konaha?"

At Sasuke's nod the fox continued "What you and most of Konaha for that matter are unaware of is why he came to Konaha in the first place or why he wound up attacking it. Now many don't know this but the head of the Kitsune clan was getting on in years, and after his mate died without having a single kit he refused to remate. He would not dishonor his beloved in such a way, and chose instead to go out and search for one. He was roaming the land when he heard a tale of how Konaha was the strongest of the ninja villages, he decided he might as well look there. When he got there he was overwhelmed by the scent of a demon snake…his long term enemy. The snake had been the one to poison and kill his mate. Wrongly assuming that Konaha had allied with the treacherous reptile, he decided to do the world a favor and eliminate these filth that called themselves shinobi. It was only in his final battle with the Fourth that he realized his mistake."

Taking a deep breath he continued "You and all of Konaha have been lied to…the Fourth was unable to beat the fox, and instead sealed it away inside of a new born kit. That kit Sasuke, is Naruto, and I have chosen Hinata to be my heir. After a lengthy discussion, it has been decided that we will offer you the power of the Kitsune Clan in exchange for your loyalty," finished the fox before falling back gasping for air.

Hinata looked a little worried at this but Mikon just smirked and said "You might try breathing in between sentences. Helps you stay alive and all that, but that's just my opinion." At which the great Kyuubi no Kitsune did the unthinkable…he stuck his tongue out at his second in command.

Naruto rolled his eyes and said, "Way to go, you have reached a new low." This just earned him the same response causing Hinata to giggle. Sasuke sat there in a state of shock not quite sure of what to make of it. Hinata composed herself first and spoke "In order to do this you must give up the seal placed on you by Orochimaru. In doing this you will receive what is called a subseal and makes you an official member of the Kitsune clan."

He frowned and asked "Is the new seal more powerful?" Before anyone else could say anything Mikon said "More powerful than you can imagine." At his words Sasuke nodded his head and said "Fine I will accept this offer."

Naruto stood up and removed his shirt leaving his subseal in place as he sat back down. Kyuubi proceeded to roll up his sleeve and show off his seal as Hinata did the same. Lastly Mikon merely shrugged a shoulder of his jacket down as his seal appeared on his neck (about were the curse seal is on Sasuke). His was not one rose but many all growing in a wild arrangement the thorns looked wicked and the bushes untamed, around the rose swirled a russet colored mist.

Sasuke looked at the seals one by one until he came to Mikon's and asked in a low voice "Who are you again?" Mikon blinked at him then gave a slow smile as he answered "I am Shinkirou Mikon, boss of the Kitsune Sommons and second in command of the Kitsune Clan."

Sasuke's mouth dropped as Mikon go to his feet and surprising everyone, laid his hand on the boy's shoulder before he spoke shocking everyone even further "I, Shinkirou Mikon, accept you, Uchiha Sasuke, into the Kitsune clan on the behalf of our clan head Kyuubi no Kitsune and our Heir. I further bestow upon you the power of the Shinkirou family. From this day forth you shall be trained in the art of the Shinkirou, and may some day take the trial to become the next head of the Shinkirou family. I name you Uchiha Shinkirou Sasuke!"

As everyone watched on, Sasuke gasped in surprise and pain as the curse seal was forcibly removed by his new subseal. Stepping back, Mikon allowed everyone to view Sasuke's new seal. On his sholder were his curse seal had been stood a black four tailed fox facing to the left. The fox's head is trown back in a howel, its red Sharingun eyes blazing in furry. Its blue tiped tails are arced over its back with the tips brushing the tips of his ears. On the fox's right sholder (remember its facing to the left) the clan rose seams to be scared into its fur, and around its feet a dark mist swirls.

Craning his head Sasuke looked at his subseal then at Mikon and asked one thing "Why?" Mikon looked at Sasuke and said "As Kyuubi chose Hinata-san because she reminded him of how he was, so too do you resemble my younger self." After a small pause Mikon elaborated "My family was not originally that of Shinkirou but a much smaller one. My father let his mind get poisoned by one of the Snake's that we detest into believing that we, his family, were a weakness. My father killed my entire family before my eyes, and if not for Kyuubi-sama finding me in time I to would have died from the injuries he inflicted upon me."

Everyone present who had not heard the tail before gasped in shock, Sasuke looked down then back up and asked "What did you do?" Mikon got an evil look on his face that scared all present accept for Kyuubi "I killed him, and I almost killed my best friend in the process."

Kyuubi smirked and said "Like you ever had a chance against me." Mikon looked at the other fox slightly amused, both ignoring the mouths that were now brushing the ground "Hah, you didn't say that when I had my tails through your chest." Kyuubi rolled his eyes and said "I didn't say anything to that, hurts too much to talk when one of your lungs has a hole in it."

Mikon thought about that for a while before saying "I guess so." Kyuubi smirked and said "I still beat you though!" Mikon shook his head "That was the first time I thought you might be worthy of being clan heir. Up until then I didn't agree with the old Clan Head at all."

"WAIT WAIT WAIT!" yelled Naruto before looking at Mikon and Kyuubi "Through your chest?" Kyuubi blinked at the blond and said "It's a long story." "For another day I might add that the finals will be starting shortly," said Mikon causing everyone to look worried.

Naruto's eyes got big as he pulled his shirt back on yelling "Hurry Sasuke-teme, Hinata-chan we're gonna be late!" the two nodded and before they could blink found themselves back in their bodies. They quickly took to the tree's and became blurs as the four of them made it in record time to the stadium.

Hinata and Mikon left Sasuke and Naruto at the stairs to the public viewing area with good lucks all around. Sasuke looked at Naruto and Naruto looked at Sasuke before he said "Sorry no time to teach you anything." Sasuke nodded his head in agreement and the two entered the arena.

As they lined up with the others the crowd roared to life at the final to contestants making their appearance. Genma looked at the two late comers and said "You guys are just in time we're fixing to start, now wave to the crowd they're here to see you."

End:

WHOOT! I loved writing this chap, came easily once I thought about it for a while. Hope you guys like making Sasuke a part of the clan, I tried to make it believable. Yes Mikon and Kyuubi's story about their childhood was made to teach lessons to our two new kitsunes. - by the way I was gona give Sakura a more in-depth part in this chapter but I'm still waiting on Atara-chan to send me the description and I didn't feel like waitin, don't worry it will be in the next. Please remember to review, oh and about the whole seal beating out seal there are some rules. 1)the person has to want it, 2)only a blood sacrifice must have been used. This is why Kyuubi is still sealed inside of Naruto, a human sacrifice is much harder to overcome.

From my beta Atara:

Yeah, I liked the chapter as well and I got the lessons, Gosh, you could write for Aesop or something. And hey! I'm responding to ur emails more now.

HNN: this may seem like a stupid queston…but who is Aesop?...i'm so confused -

From my other beta Blue Bunny2:
