Alright! Fast update (for me, at least)! And it's long (for me, at least)! Everyone, thank you so for all the reviews, I love them all! I tried to make it longer, since more, and more people started asking for it, and I like to keep my readers happy! I can understand if people still aren't satisfied with the lenght of the chapter, but I'm working towards it! Enjoy reading.
'Kid?' Kyuubi asked. Oh how he hated to be called that. 'Yes?' 'Why the sudden curiosity towards my mother?' 'Why is he asking this now?! Well, I guess he would have asked sometime.' 'Because I never had one of my own. I wanted to know what it's like, so I decided to ask you.' 'But why ask me? Why not one of your friends?' 'Because it will make me look like an idiot!'
Silence
'Kyuubi?' Naruto asked thoughtfully.'Yes?' 'You said your mother was human, right? But you're a demon, so how could she have been human?' 'She wasn't my real mother' 'So you were, like, adopted?' ´Yes.´ 'What happened to your real parents?' ´I never knew my birth-mother, and my father was killed by two thunder-youkai.' 'Why?' 'Because they felt like it.' 'Well that sucks.'
'So how did you meet your mother?' 'She was traveling with a hanyou…' 'Wait, what's a hanyou?' 'A half-demon. She was traveling with a hanyou while searching for shards of the Shikon no Tama…' 'Wha…' 'The Shikon no Tama was a holy jewel that would give the owner amazing powers. It would also grant one wish. For that reason lots of humans and demons were trying to obtain it. When it got shattered, the shards were spread all over Japan. My mother was the one who accidently shattered it. So she tried to find the shards, and make it whole again. She could sense the position of the shards when close enough, which is why they were able to do it. The hanyou that traveled with her wanted to use it to become a whole demon. When my father was killed I tried to steal the few shards they had to become stronger. I was only a child, however. A toddler in demon's perspective. I failed, and told them about what had happened. They killed the demons who took my father's life for me.' 'Why would they do that?' 'My mother immediately felt sorry for me, and wanted to help me, but the hanyou didn't. He only wanted to help when he found out about the shards the thunder-demons possessed.'
'Wow, that was a lot to take in.'
'So how did you get adopted by her?' 'When my father was revenged I started to travel with them. After a while I started to think of her as my mother. She always took care of me. I was scared of asking her to be my mother however. Apparently, one night I called her "mommy" in my sleep, and the next day she asked me if that was how I thought about her. I told her I did. I remember being scared that she would be angry. That she would be disgusted by a demon thinking like that about her. That she would push me away. She, however, didn't. She said she was happy, and that she would love being my mother. It was, and still is, one of the happiest days in my life.'
'I can understand he was afraid. I would be too. There are still people hating me for carrying a demon inside me. He's a demon himself. I wonder how people thought about demons in his time?' Naruto thought about this for a while.
'How did humans think about demons in your time?' He asked. 'Will you ever stop asking questions?' Kyuubi answered. 'You've been asking a lot today, don't you have anything better to do?' No he didn't. There were no missions, not even small ones, and everyone was busy with other stuff. He supposed he could clean his room up for a change ('Did that empty ramen-cup just move?') but he rather did this. 'I'm just curious!' 'Hmph, fine, but this is the last question I will answer today, got that!?' 'Fine then.' Maybe his room would be cleaned after all. 'At the time, demons weren't as rare as now. It was a whole different situation back then. You could find a demon 'round every corner. Some hated humans, most of them, but there were also demons that didn't. Humans were also different. Chakra didn't exist yet ('Holy *! No chakra!') so there were no ninja. There were some demon slayers, and there were monks and mikos to protect the people from us. Most humans were afraid or hated us. They kept as much distance as possible, or tried to kill any demon they encountered. Does that answer your question?' 'Guess so…' 'Good. Now shut up.' With that said Naruto felt Kyuubi "leave".
'I still have a lot more questions. Hell, I even have more than before!'
