Across town from the Sabaku residence, another shinobi sat his room in a not so peaceful meditation. His Inner Self walked from the dark corner of his mind to a large field of sorts. "Why have you brought me hear Kyuubi?" the blonde grumbled angrily looking up at the grinning fox confined within him.

"Aww, come now kit. Is that any way to respond after I changed my prison to a field for your visit?" the kitsune questioned in a voice to try and cheer Naruto up.

"Yes, but whenever you call me to a happy field, its never good news," he accused squinting his bright blue eyes and pointing at the fox before him. Kyuubi had shifted into a form of a slightly smaller fox for the conversation, she still needed to lay down to have eye contact though.

A small smirk was etched onto the red face of the kitsune. "Hai, you know me well kit," she laughed before taking a slightly more serious tone, "but this is not a time for laughter, well your laughter."

He grumbled before sitting down in the field, his hands on his knees as he leaned towards the fox. "What now?"

"Well you see the funny thing is, for demons, its mating season kit."

Naruto stared blankly not registering her words.

'A blonde, my container just had to be a blonde,' Kyuubi thought in agitation. "How to explain this for even you to understand? Ahh! You are in the demon ways, considered mature...physically NOT mentally! Definitely not mentally," she added hastily to her explanation.

Naruto was silent, his arms crossed and eyes squinted in thought, until the light finally clicked in his mind. He jumped up in fright of the thought he registered. "Mating season? Maturity? You mean..Oh my gods you mean that?" he screamed.

Kyuubi nodded her graceful head, her orbs piercing through Naruto who was frantically kicking at the ground and jumping around.

"No way you damn kitsune! No fucking way! Im still a just a kid!" he squeaked losing control of his now very unsteady voice. "I abso-fucking-lutly refuse!"

"To late kit. Mating season begins next week and there's a schedule you have to follow for your first season kit," she said calmly as she laid one of her tails on Naruto's shoulder to try and steady him.

"What do you mean Kyuubi?" Naruto forced himself to ask with a less quivering voice. He let himself be pulled closer to Kyuubi who shifted into a much smaller form of her nine-tailed self.

"I mean, that the mating season of demons goes on for four months, and in the first season you have certain tasks to accomplish before time runs out. In the first month you have to court your mate, the second month you have to become one with your mate. Then depending on whether you go for heirs the first time around, the third and fourth months are time to prepare" she said sweetly.

Kyuubi was the size of a regular fox and had a cute little something about her that seemed to keep Naruto from ripping his hair out in frustration. "Well, lets say I refuse to court anyone at all? Then what?"

"Lets just say you and your hand will become great friends in these coming four months," she grinned with an expression much like Naruto's after telling a hilarious joke.

Naruto whined feebly. "Kyuubi, can't you do something to help me out here? You spring this on me and expect me to know what to do about it all?"

Kyuubi shook her head slowly, "Sorry kit, I know I should have said something earlier. But the only thing to do is to find a mate, it can be male or female since I'm a female and your not."

Naruto began to whine more until Kyuubi shot him a glare to quit the theatrics. "Do I have to court them this coming week? Can't I wait?" Kyuubi shook her head, Naruto just flopped on the ground in defeat. "Who should I court? I know Sakura-chan won't agree, who else is there?" he mumbled in question.

A wicked smirk appeared on the fox's face for only a moment before she answered. "Well there is Kiba Inuzaka and Shikamaru Nara for starters. Kiba may even be going through the same thing, being of part demon blood and all."

"Dog-boy and lazy ass? Never! Besides can't you list some girls?" the blonde glared.

"I could, but they aren't worth your courting time," she replied expertly. 'Besides, I'm a yaoi supporter,' she thought evilly in a side thought. "There's also Neji Hyuuga and the Uchiha brat."

"What are you thinking? Hyuuga and the teme! No! I'd much sooner chase Kiba! Besides both of them would kill me first," Naruto squealed his face now a very bright shade of red.

"But I think Sasuke would be perfect for you. And think how strong your heirs would be, Uchiha's Sharringan and your powers from me, they would be a powerful force."

Naruto was now completely red at this thought. "Kyuubi please! Isn't there anyone else?"

"Well, there is Gaara."

"He's in Suna though," Naruto muttered looking at his feet slightly crestfallen. True, he did kinda, sorta liked the red head. He was the only person who was able to understand the pain of being a demon's host.

"Not quite kit. Gaara and his siblings are in Konoha for quite some time as it appears." Naruto looked suspicious at Kyuubi's insight of Gaara's where abouts, but he did seem seem happier, if it was true. "Shukaku told me, we keep in touch via a plane opposite this one we can visit at for short times."

Naruto bounced up, not at all suppressing his excitement. "I know what I'm going to do Kyuubi!" he squealed running from the field into the blackness that would allow him to regain consciousness.

"I'll be with you the whole time kit!" Kyuubi cried to him encouragingly. Like she would miss a moment of yaoi action caused by her own container. Fat chance there.

Naruto's body twitched slightly as he began to awaken from his meditating state. He quickly changed into his orange pants and a black tee, leaving his jacket behind on the warmer wintery-spring day.

"Now to find Gaara prey he doesn't hurt me." What he didn't know was that a certain red haired boy had also recently come to from a very similar yet slightly more aggressive talk with a raccoon.
