Oh man. It's been a long time. Sorry it took so long, but my computer got a virus, and I had to lean a bunch of Hebrew (I'm Jewish) and-……..Well, you don't want to hear me rant about my problems, on to the story!

Two Selves, Two Worlds

Deep inside Naruto's own mind, he awoke in the slightly damp, darkened room that served as the jail cell to the one and only Kyuubi who, incase you're behind on current events, is sealed inside of Naruto.

This room was lit by only two, tall lanterns on either side of the entrance, but if someone could look inside here, they would probably focus on the giant cell toward the opposite side of the room. In front of this mammoth sized cage, Naruto's self within himself lay.

"Wake up, Kit" Kyuubi said in his incredibly deep voice. Naruto, stirred by the noise, groggily sat up.

"Fuzz-ball!" Naruto greeted. "I haven't seen you in awhile,"

"You wont ever see anything again unless you listen up!" Kyuubi answered wanting this to be quick as it would mean the difference between the both of them dieing or living. Naruto sat up straight and looked into the cage.

"How'd I get here anyway?" Naruto asked.

"You stumbled on the remnants of your village which was being used as the base of operations for the Snake Sannin and the Uchiha who, at some point along the timeline, sided with the snake." Kyuubi said, explaining the situation to his jailer.

"Yeah right," Said Naruto. "Sasuke wouldn't betray us,"

"Oh? Do you know that for sure? Well, I suppose it's irrelevant right now. We have to focus on escaping. You are tied to an operating table and will probably be experimented on or worse," Kyuubi said.

"Alright, what's the plan?" Naruto said. He had a bad feeling about this. If his gut was right, Kyuubi would try to bargain for his release or something.

"Well, I do have an idea, but in order for it to work you have to weaken the seal," Kyuubi started.

"NO WAY!" Naruto yelled. "You'll just try to escape!" Naruto knew it! He knew that Kyuubi would want something in return.

"Kit. First of all, it's time you know what would happen if I tried to force my way out. The seal has a self destruct mechanism that would collapse my mind into yours destroying your sanity and taking a chunk out of mine. Then, our bodies would follow suit, turning us into a pile of Human-demon hybrid. Our insides would fuse as well, and completely destroy both our bodily systems. Even if the process wasn't fatal, we would go insane and have a body to match our minds. It would look like someone shrunk a demon and chopped it in half and sewed it on to half a human. Not pretty. Second, killing you, as you well know, will kill me as well. Getting out of here is in your best interest as well as mine. And last, I said weaken the seal not destroy it. I would get a few more freedoms and you would get a few more powers, one of which can get us free," Kyuubi explained.

Naruto sighed. "And how do I know you're not lying?" He asked.

"Either trust me, or one of the snake's surgeons. The choice is yours."

"Well, what powers will I get?" Naruto asked.

"I thought so. A few but the most important is I will have the ability to pulse more of my charka through you. If you thought you had a rush when I helped you before, just wait. You will be as strong as a four tailed beast at your peak if you train hard enough. You'll grow some fox demon appendages until your body adapts to the changes. I'll explain the others when we get out of here."

"Ok. What do I have to do?" Naruto asked.

"Just get one of those lanterns over there and burn the seal until I tell you to stop." Said Kyuubi, referring to the lanterns lighting the entrance.

Naruto walked over and grasped the lantern. It was at least three times his size but weighed next to nothing. He lifted it with ease and carried it over to the cage. He then, carefully, brought the fire up to the seal. He waited there for about a minuet, until Kyuubi told him otherwise.

"Alright Kit, that's enough." Kyuubi quickly stated.

Naruto hastily moved the flame. About half of the small piece of paper was burnt off or charred black. "And now what?" Naruto asked.

"I'll send my chakra through your body, but be careful. In this state you'll be much stronger then before, but your mind won't be as sharp. You'll want to kill every single one of them. Keep focused on leaving. You won't be able to fight the Snake or the Uchiha so don't try. Just think of something or someone you want to get too and keep your mind on getting to it as fast as possible. It would help to think of it now."

Naruto, of course, closed his eyes and thought of all his friends that were in this world with him, as well as the new friends he found in Amy, Sonic, and Tails.

"Alright, I've got it." Said Naruto, after awhile.

"Oh, and one more thing, Kit," Said Kyuubi, almost forgetting.

"Huh?" Asked Naruto.

"Tell that two tailed kit you're his brother already! You've had plenty of opportunities, get to it!"

"My….Brother? OH DAMN! I forgot all about that! I will the first chance I get!" Said Naruto, smiling.

"Good. Now go Kit. As you regain control of your body, I'll start the transformation."

Naruto waved a final good bye as he started walking away. The exit of the room became drowned in white light as Naruto stepped through it and regained consciousness.

IN NORMAL SPACE!!!!!!

Naruto opened his eyes, which were already beginning to turn red.

"Ahhh," Said a figure dressed in purple. He was looming over Naruto with a scalpel in his hand. "Just in time."

Naruto ignored him as he felt the red chakra rushing through his body. His fangs grew and his whisker marks broadened. Two lumps started to grow out of his head and shaped and colored themselves into two fox ears. Also, a lump started forming from his tail bone. It grew longer and gained hair as it slipped out of his pants, sticking upward through the waistband. Then, a powerful red outline surrounded him. It took the outline of a fox and then started growing. It crushed the table as well as sent the medic flying back. It became a ten-foot-tall, transparent, red hued fox with Naruto in the middle, seemingly floating.

The giant fox attracted a lot of attention as it jumped through the rock ceiling. Naruto was promptly surrounded by snake ninja. "Lord Oruchimaru-sama and Lord Sasuke-sama will be here soon! Keep it held off until then!" One shouted, but was deafened by another cry.

"ATTACK!!!!!!!" It yelled, as a large group of rag-tag looking men and women jumped onto the cliff from below.

With the Sonic gang and the other shinobi:

Sonic was lying on his back in the meadow as Tails walked up with a large bag of fish.

"You know, you could help carry these," He said through heavy breaths.

"But you're doing such a great job! Besides, you're almost there. Just call it part of your hero training," Sonic said nonchalantly.

"Hero training. That's a new one," Tails said, annoyed.

"Well yea. I won't be around forever, and when I- Tails?" Sonic said. Tails had dropped the bag of fish and was on his knees, clutching his head.

"Buddy, if it was that heavy, you should of said something……..Yo, Tails! You ok?" Sonic stated, worried. But before he could say anything else, Tails jerked up and screamed, but it wasn't his voice. This one was deeper and almost animalistic.

Just then, Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke, Hinata, Cream, and Amy ran out of their respective tents and stopped at Tails' side.

A red, fiery circle of chakra appeared around Tails. He slowly got to his feet. His fur grew red streaks and his fangs grew inches. The red circle became a field of energy around Tails' body.

"This looks just like Naruto!" Sakura shouted over the noise this was making.

"What?! What's going on to Tails?!" Sonic shouted back.

"This can't be! I've been suspecting Tails of being Naruto's brother for awhile, but Tsunade said he wouldn't have any traces of chakra, much less demon chakra gushing out of him!" Kakashi yelled in his mind. "Everyone! Get back! We don't know what Tails might do!" He yelled to everyone else. They quickly complied.

Cream looked up at him. "We can't just let this happen! How can we help Tails?!" She yelled, with a determined look on her face.

"We can't. The best thing we can do is follow him if he leaves and hope this wont last long," He replied back, not as loud.

"I won't accept that!" Cream yelled back, "I have to help him!" She ran at Tails as Kakashi, Amy, and Sakura yelled for her to stop.

She ran to Tails' side. "Tails……Y-You're scaring me. Please stop," She asked quietly. Tails turned around to look at her. He raised his claw, which now had three inch nails that looked sharp. Cream fell over and screamed. Creams voice went through Tails mind as he gripped his head in what looked like pain. He then turned and ran into the forest.

"After him!" Kakashi yelled. The three ninjas jumped off into the tree tops.

Sonic turned to Amy. "Amy, stay here," He said. "But-" Amy started, but was cut off by Sonic. "Amy, for once, don't follow me! Tails looks like he's out for blood, and I don't want him hurting you!" He yelled.

"Oh……..Okay." She said. He sped off in the direction Tails went. Amy whispered,

"He does care,"

And was about to turn away, when she heard frantic sobbing. She found it was coming from Cream. Her legs were spread on the ground and she had clenched fists on the soft grass. "Why can't I ever help him?!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs and started pounding the dirt with her gloved hands, ripping them and causing bruises on her hands. Amy ran to her best friend's side and put her arm around her. Cream then began crying into Amy's dress.

"Come on Cream. Let's get you cleaned up." Amy said as she picked Cream up and carried her to the girl's tent. She couldn't help feel guilty for taking advantage of Cream earlier.

With the group tailing Tails (Pun totally intended)

The shinobi where up in the tree tops, jumping from branch to branch, while Sonic was running below.

"Hey, Kakashi," Sasuke started. "Do you think this involves Naruto somehow?"

"What was your first clue," Kakashi asked sarcastically. "Naruto's disappearance or the red chakra?" Sasuke only huffed and speed up slightly. Naturally, Sakura sped up next to him to try and make conversation.

"So, why do you care if this concerns Naruto?" Sakura asked. Shirley the great Sasuke shouldn't care about a loser like Naruto.

"You mean besides the fact that he's our team mate and we're supposed to give our lives for each other?" Sasuke asked in Kakashi-style fashion. "I hope I get the chance to fight him sometime." He finished. "What? Why? He's Naruto. You'd win every time." She said with absolute sureness. "You can't just rate people on rank, family, or appearances anymore. This isn't the academy and ever since he was put on our team, he's been getting stronger, fast. I don't know if I can beat him anymore, but I want to find out."

"Oh…..Well, it wouldn't matter who won, 'cause we're on the same team and we'll fight the same battles, right." Sakura asked. "Um…….Yeah, of course." Sasuke said. "That's pretty smart." He complemented. Sakura blushed, but more importantly, stopped asking questions.

Behind Kakashi, Hinata jumped lower until she was level with Sonic.

"Um……Ano…..May I ask how l-long you've kn-know T-Tails-kun for?" She stuttered.

"Huh? Oh. Um……Years. I became something of an adoptive brother awhile ago, but it's hard to see who the real mature one is. He's my best friend. I hope we can get him back to normal." That sentence triggered something in Hinata's mind.

"Brother," She thought. "Tsunade said something like that. Involving N-Naruto-kun……And Tails-kun…The red chakra! Of course!" Thought Hinata, as her pale eyes went wide. "N-Naruto-kun is Tails-kun's brother!" She squeaked.

"What?" Asked Sonic. "I-It's the r-real r-r-reason why w-we ca-came here. Na-Narut-o-kun had a br-brother in another world a-and w-we were se-sent to f-find h-him." Hinata stuttered. She didn't feel comfortable telling someone his best friend was always an alien.

"Oh." He said. He looked down for a second, but quickly smiled back at her. "We'd better go tell him then,"

"Huh?" said Hinata. "Tails has always been alone. Sure, he's a friend to a lot of people, but none of us could ever comfort him. All the rest of us have some family left. Well, except Knuckles, but at least he has Tikal to talk to every once and awhile. Nah, Tails had always been alone when he wanted to know about his family, and none of us could help him. I can't wait to see his face when he learns he has family," Sonic said, happily.

"Um…….Ano," Hinata stammered.

"What?" Asked Sonic.

"Who are Knuckles and Tikal?" Asked Hinata, stammering all the while.

"You guys'll meet them later. Let's just find Tails right now," Said Sonic.

Hinata nodded hard and smiled.

TIMESKIP!

The ninjas and Sonic were nearing the ruins, still following Tails. They could hear explosions in the distance, but paid them no mind. Back at the ruins, the group of ninjas who looked like they just crawled out of a dumpster and the mutated Sound Ninja were fighting each other. Naturally, the sound Nin where using different sound and snake based

techniques and jutsus. The others, however, didn't have a based element. Some used mostly fire or water, their were some lightning and earth ones too. Some of these also had mutations as well. A particular man had two large wings sprouting from his back.

This man in question was doing an exceptionally good job at fighting the Sound Nin. He was twirling around, using taijutsu with his hands, feet, and wings. He called out to a large man with black hair in a ponytail, dressed in a black shirt with it's sleeves ripped.

"COUJO!" He yelled. "REPORT!"

Coujo looked back at him before catching to sound nin by the necks who charged at him from two sides. He clonked their heads together cartoon style before looking back.

"We've lost Shinjin and Roleph. Dustin looks pretty bad." He said. "They just keep coming, Lock. Should we pull out?"

"Not yet! We have to wait until the others get here!" He looked away just in time to see a sound nin's snake arm stretching at him like a long, purple tentacle. He caught it by the neck and pulled, making the ninja who was attached to it rocket at him. As he got closer, Lock pulled out a feather from his left wing. The feather, aperantly razor sharp, was plunged into the ninja's side, making blood flow from him.

SCENE SKIP!

The Ninja and Sonic followed Tails to a Cliffside. Tails cleared it in one jump, as did the shinobi after him. Sonic ran straight up the cliff using nothing but momentum.

As the heroes saw the battle in front of them, they were stunned. Questions rang through their heads as they saw the combatants use jutsus both familiar and totally new to them. They didn't have anytime to think, however as Tails jumped to Naruto's side and started killing sound nins with his claws. Naruto looked at him for a second and registered him as his friend. They started fighting back to back as the ninja death count heightened. Coujo looked at a figure next to him. He was totally black. Not just his skin, but everything about him except his eyes which were bright yellow. (Those who've played kingdom hearts 2, He looks like that one heartless mode Sora has)

"You up to this, Dustin?" He asked.

"I have to be" Was his answer.

Dustin shot one of his arms out, which changed form into a tentacle and rushed to word Naruto and Tails. As it got closer to them, it started to expand and entrap them. Tails and Naruto slashed at it, but it overtook them and trapped them in a large sphere. Then Dustin started to "reel them in" as the tentacle connecting the ball and Dustin's shoulder got smaller.

"Acua!" Lock yelled, "Get the others! We're pulling out!"

"Got it!" A girl with long, Aqua-marine hair and eyes ran at the shinobi and Sonic.

"If you want to stay with your friends, you'd better come with us," She said, after which, she ran after Lock, who seemed to be the leader of one side of the shinobi.

"What do we do, Kakashi-sensei?" Asked Sakura.

He looked at the ninja advancing on their position. "We don't have a choice at this point. We have to follow them!" He said, jumping after the unnamed ninjas.

His students quickly followed as did Sonic. "Tails. I'll rescue you." He thought.
