I own nothing 'cept the Ocs and this plot
Chapter 8
The rest of the mission was uneventful to say the least. Everyone was quite, even Daisuke, and not a single leaf or blade of grass moved as the shinobi and fox walked swiftly down the trail. In fact, the only sound that was made was the 'tak tak tak' of Kyuubi's and the genin's feet and the swishing of Shadow's fur as the wind blew harshly.
Upon reaching home, Shadow followed Kyuubi to Naruto's office, nearly getting his neck snapped by the suddenly irritable Hokage. Said Hokage had thrown a lamp at the door and it had hit dead center in the middle of Shadow's head. Aforementioned fox sat down heavily and started to rub the growing bump on his head.
"What's wrong with you?" Kyuubi asked.
"My back hurts, my head hurts, my EVERYTHING hurts!" Naruto bellowed. "And all I've done the past week is sign paper work and sit at home spending time with my wife and kid."
"Wait. Did you say your back hurts?" Shadow asked, still rubbing his head.
"Well, not my back per se, more like my shoulders."
"And what about your head?"
"More like my eyes. W-Why do you care?" he demanded skeptically.
"Hmm, I think... you may be getting your blood line in. I remember how painful it was when I got mine, and have a feeling that it will be worse for you." Shadow said, a sweat drop on the back of his head when he also remembered how irritable he had gotten at the time. Considering Naruto and his temper, he'd say that he would basically have to chain the Hokage to his chair to stop him from going after every person who came through his door with gusto. The sweat drop grew bigger when he heard Naruto start growling at him. 'Better make that reinforced chains.'
"And why didn't you say anything before?" the blond growled. Kyuubi smartly moved to the other side of the room... or at least tried to. Shadow grabbed his pants and yanked him back to use him as a living shield from Naruto's anger.
"I, uh, didn't think of it at the time... heh heh... yeah, I'm going to start running now."
"Good idea." Naruto growled, his golden ears flattening against his head. Let's just say that the only thing left of Shadow was a dust trail he disappeared so fast. And... did I mention that he was screaming—in a very girly voice for someone who's voice was a deeper baritone than a tuba on low 'E'--for help. Yeah, something along the lines of "HELP!!! THE HOKAGE'S GOING TO RAPE MEEEE!!!!" or something...heh, heh... yeah. There goes the rest of Shadow's pride, if he ever had any to begin with.
As soon as Naruto go his hands on Shadow, saying that he tied the fox in a knot would be an understatement. Big time. Oh no, he tied Shadow in a knot and stuffed him in a half full barrel of some alcoholic drink, rolled him down a hill into a river that carried him down stream, over a water fall and back to the village after which, the fox got a beating that not even Kyuubi and Sapphire on a sugar high and rampage with raging hormones could dish out.
The only thing other than breathing that Shadow could do when Naruto's anger was spent was moan in agony and hiccup from the amount of alcohol he had managed to swallow on his down the hill and river. And they say that he was scary when he was mad. That was just insane! Kyuubi was left with the wonderful task of undoing the living pretzel and bringing Shadow home.
It didn't take long for the fox to recover, only a couple hours, but he was still half drunk, so they would have to wait until the alcohol was filtered out of his system, which would take another couple of hours. Then they had to talk quietly because Shadow with a hangover...? Not pretty.
Anyway... Shadow was untipsy enough, Naruto quietly asked what he meant by a 'bloodline.' So, Shadow explained the Kitsunegan and all of its properties. Naruto being Naruto though that it was awesome and realized too late that he had to be quiet. Shadow took this as an excuse to get his revenge. This time, he tied Naruto in a knot and stuffed him in the toilet and flushed it repeatedly, making the blond get excessively dizzy. The black fox did, though, have enough courtesy to not stuff the blond in head first.
Hinata had to take Atsuko in the other room to shield his 'innocent' mind and ears from the violence, both in physical damage and verbal abuse. Namely Shadow's ranting and swearing, as well as his tying Atsuko's father in a knot and making him extremely dizzy. And, once again, Kyuubi was left with the job of untieing the human pretzle. Joy.
When the comotion had settled to low simmer, one could find Shadow curled up comfortably on the couch with ear plugs in his ears. That didn't meen that he couldn't hear some of what they were saying, so they stayed as quiet as they could because a) Shadow still had a hangover and b) he wasn't a morning person, so it wouldn't be smart to wake the fox up. Period.
Basicly, Naruto was in for a rough... er... how ever long it took for him to activate the Kitsunegan. Whether it was hours or years, the pain that he was going through wouldn't subside one fraction of a decimal. He would just have to keep trucking until he finaly activated it, THEN, learn to control and use it properly, which was something that Shadow would have to teach himself. And the black kitsune was not good at teaching. He had no patience and couldn't handle all the questions and yada, yada, yadaing that was going on around him. The kitsune just couldn't, hell, he could barely handle Cyrus when he was a kit, so you can emagine the amount of suffering he was going to go through.
There's chappie 8! I think that there will only be like 12 or something because, I have until Friday to get this done or my friends at school are going to personaly make sure that I'm breathing through a tube the rest of my life. Review! Ja!
