Chapter 7: The story of a fox and his boy
Hinata looked deep into Naruto's eyes. They where split and where sad from hearing her emotional speech. He couldn't stand seeing her like that. Even though his heart was broken, the two half of the heart where still connected at one point where he still loved her. Her love filled speech had started to meld the broken heart. Naruto was still in love with her. No matter how many times he tried to deny it... he was still in love. He looked down at her with love forming in his eyes. He was in love again. No matter what he tried to do.. he was in love again. he watched her eyes as the glazed over him. His fur covered his body from head to tail. Hinata couldn't believe what she was seeing! He got even CUTER! He had fuzzy ears with pointy tips. His fur looked so soft and huggable. She wanted to touch and hold it. She reached her hand out to touch his fur. Naruto backed up a little and watched her as she stroked his fur. She loved the feel of it! She crawled over to him where she threw herself into him. Her arms wrapped around his neck. She burried her face into what she thought was his maine. Naruto watched her feel his fur on her face. She had a smile on her face.
"It's soft." Hinata said. He closed his eyes and turned his head to cuddle her. He nuzzled her and enjoied the touch of hers. It was enchanting. He missed her touch and the feeling of her on him.
"Why did you come... I asked you not too." Naruto asked in a calm voice. In Hinata's eyes tears formed. She knew exactly what he wanted to hear.
"Because Naruto-kun... I made you a promise to never leave your side and also... because I love you. I have never stopped loving you Naruto-kun. So... Naruto-kun... please come back with me... please..." Hinata asked with tears getting lost in his fur. He nuzzled her again and savoured each of the feelings. He loved her touch. Her touch was his weakness.
"Ok... I will..." Naruto said closing his eyes. Hinata grappled tighter and pulled him closer. The rest of the team watched as these two lovers exchanged words and touches.
"Thank you Naruto-kun." Hinata said. Hinata contnued to cry though. Her body was enjoing this new Naruto. He was shaped differently but Naruto was still Naruto. He was still HER Naruto. Kakashi walked forward. Naruto opened his eyes and watched Kakashi.
"So.. Naruto... care to explain what you are doing like that?" Kakashi asked stopping infront of him.
"A long story." Naruto said resuming to cuddle and nuzzle Hinata. Naruto closed his eyes and continued to enjoy her touch.
"Let's hear it Naruto..." Kakashi said looking at Naruto. Naruto opened his eyes and looked into Kakashi's eyes. He gave Kakashi a death glare and a 'not now' look. He continued to nuzzle Hinata who was now very happy. She was loving his fur! It was so soft and smooth! She unburried her head and wanted to touch his ears. Naruto watched her as she slowly reached her hands over his head. Hinata touched his ears and Naruto's ears twitched. Hinata took her hands and started to slowly massage his ears. She did this always constantly looking at Naruto who felt these new sensations. His ear was sensitive to her touch. She tried as best she could to do it right so that Naruto would feel much better but found it difficult. His ear hurt if she did it too long or too hard. She plaid with his ear until she heard a yelp coming from him. It was sharp and sudden. She thought she had hurt him really bad... that was until she saw the kunai in his neck. Hinata screamed in terror as she saw blood paint his fur crimson. She saw Kakashi holding out a kunai.
"I'm not going to ask you again Naruto..." Kakashi sounded angry. Hinata wondered why.
"Kakashi! Stop it! That is an order!" Hinata cried as she saw the kunai in Naruto's neck. She wanted to treat it but Naruto wouldn't let her. As soon as she touched it he moved.
"Just take it out.. I'll heal myself." Naruto said grunting in pain. She went to take it out to see the blood had stopped and hair was growing on the spot where the kunai sliced. As she pulled it out a small hissing sound came from his neck and it healed quickly. Once she pulled it all the way out, Naruto stood up. The blood stopped falling and his eyes turned serious.
"You really want to know don't you Kakashi? How I got like this... How I became this monster right?" Naruto asked.
"No. I want to make sure your story is believeable before we take something back to the village that could very well be the nine tailed fox." Kakashi said. They stared into each others eyes.
"It all started, many weeks ago, maybe ten. I don't remember... Anyway... Hinata-chan had been in my mind and admitted that she only felt sorry for me and I believed that Hinata-chan ment that she did not love me. I got mad. I wondered how dare she... but at the same time I was sad to know that the same person that said they loved me, said that she did not. After cring in my mind for a while, I woke up in the rreal world. No one was here and I remembered everything from what happened. I ran hame, locked my door and cried until I passed out. When I woke up the fox started talking to me. After words I heard a knock at the door..." Naruto said.
(Flashback)
Naruto is face down in his pillow with his hands gripping the pillow. He is cring heavily.
"Kit... Kit... KIT!" The fox said watching Naruto from his spot in his mind. The last 'kit' made Naruto burst open his eyes and calm down a little. The fox waited until he had Naruto's full atention before he continued.
"Now kit... we have been through a lot together, and I can tell you that you don't need her. We don't need her. So calm down kit and get ahold of yourself. Right now your body is on the verge of dehydration. So I want you to drink something... ok? Let's start here first." After the fox waited a minute. Naruto got up to get something to drink.
Knock Knock Knock. Naruto and the fox both looked at the door. The fox looked back at Naruto and sighed.
"Go see who it is you dumbass." The fox said watched Naruto stand there. Naruto started to walk to the door and was about to unlock and open the door when...
"Naruto-kun? Please let me in...I...I want to talk to you... so please open up." Hinata asked. Naruto froze up and couldn't move. He stood there with his mind in choas. Should he answer the door. He didn't know.
"Please Naruto-kun... I..I'm sorry... I didn't mean those things I said. Please... let me in..." Hinata begged. Both stood completely still. After a few moments Hinata was the first to speak.
"If your not going to talk... then please at least eat this... " The sound of a tray being put down is heard outside the door. Then footsteps going down the stairs. Naruto takes a deep breath. He walks over to the door and hesitantly opens it making sure Hinata was not there. He looks down to see steam and sweet smells of ramen rise up against his nose. He slowly picks up the tray and brings it inside. He sits down and looks down at the steam filled bowl. He picked up the chopsticks and breaks them apart. He starts to eat it and it tastes very good but... for some reason he can't enjoy it. After he finishes, he places the tray next to his bed. He lays down and turns so he only stares at the wall. He stays like this as he falls asleep.
End of flashback)
"After that, the fox kept constantly talking to me... telling me to cheer up and stuff..but I wouldn't liston. That was.. until he offered me a chance... a chance at en escape..." Naruto said.
(Flashback)
Naruto is staring at the wall with a blank look on his face.
"Come on kit... you have been sulking for weeks now... move or something." Pause. "Kit.. come on. please move..." Pause. " You can't keep ignoring me kit..." Pause..." Sigh
"Just... leave me alone kyubi..." Naruto said with a dull tone.
"I can't Kit... your going to kill us both... and I just don't want to die just yet..." The fox said.
"Then what sould I do... the women I love hates me... I am useless... and I finally reliezed I can never be hokage..." Naruto said.
"What do you mean? You're the son of a hokage! You are next in line for the job!" The fox said tring to raise his spirits. However, that failed.
"DOES IT REALLY LOOK LIKE I CAN BE HOKAGE! HUH!? Right now I can't even get up off my bed..." Naruto said with a darker tone.
"Because you only eat when I force you to! Why not eat... go outside... do SOMETHING!" The fox said.
"Why don't you do it yourself..." Naruto said.
"Wishful thinking... I'm stuck in here... while you are.." The fox was saying.
"Then take over my body like you always do in tight situations..." Naruto said burring his face deeper into his pillow. Right now.. he was not sulking because he was still mad and sad at Hinata... he was sulking because right now... he still had feelings for her... and he didn't want to be hurt Twice by the same person.
"It is not that simple kit... I have to do it only when your body allows me too... Only in stressful, life threating... or near death... your body allows me to help out... after that.. I go right back in here..." The fox said.
"Plus it is this stupid seals fault... It only lets me get out for a short while..." The fox said.
"Then break it." Naruto said.
"HA! If I could have broke it kit.. I would be out right now killing the last of the Hyugas." The fox said.
(End of flashback)
"After that the fox and me put up a barrior that wouldn't allow even a Byakugan to see in. We comprimised that the fox wouldn't kill the hyuga families and in return I would help him break the seal. However, I would allow him to run another muck in the village. So we also comprimised that I get a seal to keep him in my body, but allow full access when I want him too. In return, I must look like this. I let him take over for hours on end and he wrote down and showed me everything I need to do to remove the seal. I did it and me and the fox stood side by side in my room, face to face in person. He had to shrink his size so that he didn't break my roof. Next I did the seal to put him side of me and then I became like this. After words... I didn't want anyone to see me like this so we planned to run to the forest, where the fox could have alots of 'fun'. I meanwhile watched as the fox could kill animals... small bandit villages... and so on... It that enough for you Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked.
"One last thing... If you really have the nine tailed fox's body... then why don't you have nine tails?" Kakashi asked.
"Everytime I get stronger... I grow another tail.. the more I have, the more powerful I get. Right now I have one tail. So I am at my weakest form." Naruto said watching Kakasi's eye light up.
"Wait.. so you mean when we where running as fast as we could, you where going slow?!" Kakashi said amazed
"Umm... yeh why?" Naruto said wondering why he was bothering asking that since he just said that. Kakashi was stuned. If he wanted, he could move so fast that even the Byakugan couldn't keep up with him. At normal speed the byakugan can see things moving even if they are going fast. Even some speeds the byakugan can't see. Now Naruto can go 9X faster than normal. Kakashi had to see this. There was no way that Naruto could reach that. He pulled out a kunai.
"Naruto-sama, show me your speed at its highest!" Kakashi said getting ready to attack. Naruto sighed.
"How about two tails... It takes alot out of me to go from lowest to highest form." Naruto said looking at Kakashi.
"No I want to see your speed." Kakashi said determined to see his speed. They stared down. Hinata was a little in shock that Naruto could possibly move at speed at which her byakugan couldn't see him.
"I.. I would like to see that as well Naruto-kun!" Hinata said. Naruto looked over at Hinata who was making the handsign to activate her byakugan.
"Me TOO!" Yelled one of the students.
"Yeh come on!" Another student yelled. Naruto was blushing on the inside.
"Fine... but I'll warn you it is fast!" Naruto said looking at everyone. He stopped at Hinata.
"Go ahead Naruto-kun!" Hinata said with her byakugan activated.
"You'll have to move back a bit guys... it takes alot of chakra to go to my nine tailed form." Naruto said specifically looking at Hinata. He watched as all of them moved back to a safe postion. After he made sure that they where all safe he started to growl and started to increase his power. Strong winds rushed through the passage. After about 30 seconds of Barly being able to stay in the same place. Then the winds died down and everyone looked in shock as only one tail flared up in a puff of flames. Kakashi stood in fear as Naruto started to power up for his third tail. Kakashi panicked and made a Chidori, then blew open a small opening so everyone could hide in while Naruto powers up. Every 30 seconds the wind would die down and then start back up more powerful each time. On the eight tail, the pressure in the cave became so servere that Hinata's byakugan had to be forced with everything Hinata had, to stay activated. Naruto powered up for his ninth tail and the pressure became so great that the students passed out. Kakashi and Hinata barly kept themselves from passing out. After 30 seconds the winds stopped but the pressure remained the same. Kakashi was laing face down on the floor with his eye flickering open and closed. Hinata's byakugan kept her eyes open with ease, but the strain on the byakugan itself was great.
"Ok come on out guys!" Naruto said with a more fox and deeper voice. After a moment and with no one coming out of that hole, Naruto walked very slowly not to move too fast so that Kakashi could see his true speed. He aproached the hole to find everyone on the floor.
"What happened!" Naruto demanded.
"Your...your chakra... pressure... pressure is too strong..." Kakashi tried to say. Naruto quickly got the message and eight of his tails bursted into flames and dissapeared. After they did, Kakashi and Hinata struggled to stand up. Naruto meanwhile, picked up the students which he reconized as Konohomeru and his friends. He placed them on his back and walked out of the cave. Kakashi and Hinata also hitched a ride on his back , when he came back. Hinata, even though on the verge of passing out, couldn't help but play with his fur. Hinata smiled and Naruto looked back from time to time as he felt Hinata run her fingers through his fur. She also scratched and rubbed him which made him feel really good, since he has been in the wild a while and was iching like crazy. Once outside everyone sat down to camp for the day since half the group was already asleep. Naruto then remembered a medical jutsu he learned.
"Hey Hinata-chan." Hinata looked at him. "Stand up for a minute please." Hinata did as Naruto asked and stood up. As she struggled to stand up, Naruto started the healing process. Hinata got to her feet and it was hard for her to stay like that. She watched as red chakra started to swirl around her. She started to get nervous as the chakra began to engulfed her and form a barrior. The chakra swirled around her violently and formed a vertex. Hinata started to scream.
"Naruto-kun! WHAT... WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" She asked as the walls of the vertex got closer.
"Do you trust me Hinata-chan?" Pause. Hinata hears him and tried to become a little more brave. "Do you trust me Hinata-chan?" He repeated.
"I trust you with my life Naruto-kun!" Hinata said waiting for Naruto to respond.
"Then trust me! Don't worry! This thing will heal you! Don't try to move too much ok?!" Naruto yelled inot the vortex.
"I trust you Naruto-kun!" Hinata yelled out as the walls started to touch her skin. She let out a small yell as the vortex started to hit her arms and legs. She teared a little because the pain took a great stress on her body. She could feel her heart being strained and remembered what happened last time her heart was strained. Hinata closed her eyes and felt her heart beat. No not again! She could feel the blood in her throat. The vortex hit her chest and neck from both sides before Hinata could throw up. The vortex was gone and so was the blood in her throat. Her heart felt fine and she didn't have the urge to throw up. She stood in awe as she examined herself to find nothing was wrong. In fact, everything felt better then ever! It was easier to breath and seemed more relaxed, her muscles where soothed, her byakugan no longer felt stress. It was a good feeling throught her body. She wondered what he had just done. Naruto smiled and started to walk over.
"I have placed in your body my healing chakra and if you need further proof..." Naruto said running over and placing a nail from his paw on her wrist. Hinata's eyes grew with frieght as he slashed her wrist. Hinata jerked forward in pain. Blood poured from the wound only for a second as the wound was healed by a small hissing sound. He nearly gave her a heart attack. Slitting her wrist like that. She collapsed looking at her wrist. She looked up at him.
"JERK! Ask me next time you want to do something like that!" Hinata yelled. Naruto smiled and licked her cheek.
"You still look very cute when your mad..." Naruto says smiling. Hinata couldn't help but know this was Naruto. This was HER Naruto-kun. Finally she had her heart back. Her heart no longer ached. Her heart no longer was corrupted. Her pain in her mind and body where relieved to have him back in their life... well most of him... Hinata smiled and clinged to Naruto who had a big grin on his face. His face was warm and loving.
They stood there, exchanging loving glances.
