Hey everyone... I'm sorry this took so long... I was writing my two-shot My December which is the prelude to this story... anyways...this chapter will conclude the fight between Shukaku and Kyubi.. by the way...i hope you guys don't mind that I made Kyubi really honorbound...so with out further a do... A fraction of the Mangekyou Sharingan will be revealed...the power of Kyubi will be one step closer to Naruto's control...

The Fourth Tail is Mine!

Naruto screamed from inside Kyubi, "TAKESHI! KYUBI! STOP!" Kyubi couldn't believe it. He was losing control. No, brat. You dishonored me by summoning me without permission. This is your punishment. I respect you, kid, but you didn't respect me.

If you respect yourself, you would've just yelled at me. I am sorry for what I did. Please...let me save my friends, with your permission for the fourth tail.

Kid...I'll make a deal with you...If you can regain control by yourself...I'll give you permission to control the fourth tail...deal...you have no chance though..

You better believe I will...after all, I just stopped you from attacking Takeshi...

You were lucky brat...to himself...kid...he might just regain control...I'll attack the girl...he might just regain control...

Kyubi stopped right in front of Takeshi, who stared on bravely at his role-model. "Naruto-sama," Takeshi whispered.

"Go away, kid," Kyubi said, "Your lucky Naruto has SOME control over me...now get away before you get in my way." Takeshi was shocked. This wasn't the Naruto he knew.

Damn...Naruto's still not in control...where's Sakura? He looked around. We need her to be the final step to regain control...he paused...Where's Shukaku?

On cue, Kyubi took a major blow to his head, as Shukaku rammed into him with a tackle from the side. "AARGHH!" Kyubi growled as he landed in the dirt. Shukaku chuckled.

"Kyubi," he growled, "You disappoint me. You've grown soft for these humans. What the heck can they do?"

"What if I have," Kyubi said. "They're more honorable then you. And they can do a lot. One of them beat you at 70 of your full power." Kyubi laughed.

"O yeah, fox," Shukaku yelled, "TAKE THIS!" He jumped at Kyubi, and they were once again engaged in a huge fight. Unbeknownst to both biju, Sakura was slowly moving towards the fight. Damn...Takeshi couldn't get Naruto back...its up to me... she took a deep breath...this was going to be hard. She had to find a way to stop Kyubi while staying safe.

Kyubi was obviously winning, but at the same time, both biju were tiring. Kyubi didn't have time to think as Sakura suddenly jumped out of the trees straight into the path of Kyubi's punch.

"NARUTO!"she yelled. Kyubi's face continued to come towards her. Sakura braced herself, as Shukaku took the opportunity to disappear into the forest and recover for some time. Sasuke jumped out of the bush, and followed Shukaku. Mangekyou Sharingan! His eyes spiked as he disappeared into the trees.

Sasuke followed the huge racoon deep into the forest. When Shukaku finally stopped to rest, Sasuke revealed himself. "The mighty Shukaku had to run away from Naruto! That's pitiful!"

Shukaku retorted, "You little brat! I wouldn't be so cocky if I were you. As I recall, I kicked your ass the last time we face, and that was with your cursed-seal too."

"Well guess what, racoon," Sasuke answered, "I beat Naruto with two tails the last time we faced, solidly. Plus, these eyes will obliterate you." Sasuke pointed to his eyes. "They will beat you."

Shukaku's curiosity got the better of him, and he looked into Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan eyes. "Ga--aa--a," Shukaku stammered. "Those eyes...they aren't regular eyes! That's the Mangekyou Sharingan! How..."

It's over... --- Jutsu!"No need for you to know," Sasuke smiled. "I'll be your opponent, and I will beat you." His hands began to form a series of seals. "OX! HARE! MONKEY!" He stopped and grasped his left hand with his right. "Chidori!"

Shukaku gasped, as he found that he couldn't move. 'Why can't I move!" "It's called fear racoon," Sasuke said, as his Chidori came closer to Shukaku. He gasped as Sasuke passed right through him. "Huh?"

Shukaku looked around, and finally, looked up to see Sasuke coming straight at him, at an extremely high speed. "RAIKIRI!" he yelled, as a HUGE gathering of lightning formed in his hands. "You're finished," Sasuke said.

Shukaku, finding that he could move lifted his sand arms to protect himself. The Lightning blade collided with Shukaku's arms of sand. Lightning collided with the earth, and Shukaku yelled as the lightning smeared his body. Smoke rose from the ground...

Shukaku fell down. Sasuke stood over him, as Shukaku separated from his half-host. "Seal," he said holding up a black kunai. Shukaku screamed, as his spirit streamed into the kunai, and it turned a shade lighter. "Tsukoyomi...it worked..." Sasuke's head snapped up. "Sakura...Naruto!" He ran in the direction where he had seen them before.
Sakura braced herself, as Kyubi's punch came closer and closer to her. She closed her eyes and waited. Naruto... she thought. She had to believe that Naruto would regain control. If this didn't work, nothing would.

When the punch didn't come, she was amazed to find Kyubi's chakra gone, leaving Naruto where he was, on the ground. "Naruto she whispered. She tried waking him up, but stopped, feeling that he was just too tired. "Way to go, Naruto." Sakura said, as she walked into the forest, and set out to find the Yamanichi's in their hiding place.

At the same time that the punch was coming, something was going on inside someone's head.

"KYUBI!" Naruto screamed. Kyubi wasn't shocked to find himself back in the cage of his host's mind. "I'm in control now. As you said, the fourth tail is now mine."

Kyubi chuckled, "Not quite. Beat me in two tails, and I'll give you permission to acess the fifth tail a week from now. Lose and you don't even get the fourth. Deal?"

"Deal, Kyubi," Naruto said. "Don't underestimate me." I'm not, kid. "First, a little change of scenery." Kyubi was amused to find them in a desert to fight. "This is a lot better place to fight. Now...LET'S GO!" He jumped towards Kyubi and their fight began.

"Tsunami Strike!" Kyubi lunged at Naruto, and made contact. Naruto gasped as he went flying into the cliff. Kyubi stared into the smoke. There was no way, that Naruto could have gotten hit so soon in the battle.

"Your right," a voice said from behind Kyubi. "There's NO way I would have been hit by something that slow. My kekkai genkai will finish you." Gathering chakra throughout his body, an aura of light surrounded Naruto. "I haven't tested phase two yet, but nows the time. MULTIPLE SHURIKEN JUTSU!" Thousands of shuriken zoomed out of Naruto's hands in all directions.

"What are you doing, brat," Kyubi asked. He, honestly had no idea what Naruto was doing.

"You should pay attention to what Jiraiya teaches me, even though he's a pervert, Kyubi," Naruto said. "I know almost everything you can do with two-tails. You know almost nothing about what I can do beyond Rasengan." Naruto did his classic smile. "I'm not the dumb kid you once knew anymore...though I can still be one."

Kyubi chuckled. "Your right, Naruto. Looks like I'm not the only one who hasn't been showing someone respect. From now on, I'll watch you carefully. Now..let's really start the fight."

The two warriors, with respect towards each other, jumped at each other. One warrior, the fox, was surrounded with red chakra. The other, the blonde, was surrounded in yellow chakra. They collided.

Notes: Finally finished with the chapter. I know. I made Kyubi too honorable, but I like him. I don't think he's really a bad guy...yeah...anyways... I finally got to see the Naruto episodes. Dude...the ending songs are really sweet. I just have to say that I REALLY REALLY want Naruto and Sakura to get together like fast in the anime. But they're still like 8 more episodes or something of filler left. 2.12.06. That's the day I finished this chapter. Anyways, hope you guys liked the chapter...yeah...so... sweet...sorry this chapter took so long.
