Review Reply, Reply…

Midnight Shining Star- Um oh yeah! I got this story's idea when I was watching Princess Mononoke on Cartoon Network when they were having their "Month of Miyazaki" flicks. So when I was watching it I was thinking more on the subject of Naruto and less on the subject of the movie. I also was reading these doujinshi's and stuff and I got my inspiration from that.

And so I decided to make this story. I changed it way off from the plot of the movie, but I think that it is going smoothly. So if it sounds to much like the movie then please

And Powder07blossom- made a great point that I should really be referring Naruto as "Your Highness" instead of "Your Majesty" I guess it just slipped my mind! Thank you once again for telling me that!

But enough of that! Onto the story!

Disclaimer: This is Yaoi, I don't own Naruto, he belongs to his respected owner… Lucky guy… And a lot of people in this story are OOC so don't flame me…

Everyone is pretty much OOC so don't' flame me about that…

Chapter 3
When Karma Calls…

"Naruto… Naruto… Wake up Naruto… Please wake up..." Naruto felt a nudge at his side. Pulling the blankets up over his head he tried to resume his sleep, dreaming of the human man. Hearing a sigh he heard footsteps walk out of the room.

Or so he thought.
Naruto's POV

Feeling a shove at my side I fell out of the bed and landed right on my side. What a great way to start the day! Already when my back was killing me. 10 points go to the human guy. Inside my mind I could just see his smug smirking face doing those peace signs and laughing like a mad man. You win! I swear next time I see it I'm going to punch it off of his face. Hrm… wonder where that attitude came from..

The pain stinging in my side I looked up towards the high dome ceiling with pictures carved into it. Karma was getting the better of me.

Looking up seeing a whole bunch of sand on my pretty orange and red sheets to my bed that was carved out of the great castle. I growled… Nobody messed with my bed and got away with it! Now I sound like some person you'd see in the market watching as a few children would knock over their fruit. Did it before, didn't turn out the way Dei and I planned. Heh, but it sure was funny! Looking further up I was met with all too familiar green eyes, red hair and fox ears with one silky smooth tail in the back of the body. "Damnit Gaara! You didn't have to do that!"

"It's two in the after noon and Kakashi-sensei wants to see you today…" I really hate days like this, don't get me wrong or anything, I really do love my half-brother Gaara and all. But getting me up when he felt like shit- back hurting, voice nearly gone and just plain feeling crummy- I didn't want to go out and do the really harsh training Kakashi put on for me.

"But Gaara, I feel really sick! I can hardly even speak and my back hurts." Gaara closed his eyes. "You're not training today Naruto, you're going into the 'Nest of the All seeing…' to talk with him, you also need to speak to Orochimaru-sama and father…" Groaning I turned back to my bed slipping into the sheets. I was damn tired… Completely forgetting about the sand spread out on the sheets.

Feeling myself lifted up out of my bed I saw Gaara with his smirking face as the sand lifted me up and he started carrying me out to the 'Nest of the All seeing'. AKA the Hyuuga nest, where Neji, Hinata and (1) Deidara stayed.

Gaara was really having too much fun this time. I didn't have any time to change out of my sleeping garments… That brother of mine can sometimes be a pain, but you got to admit. He's pretty cute! Passing by Gaara's room and then down the past the staircase that led to our father's chambers. A whole floor dedicated to the 10,000 year old being known as the bloody king. One part being his master bedroom, I always got tense as I pass by that staircase, but not today... Feeling a tightening grip on my hand I looked at Gaara seeing the reassurance in his eyes.

"Don't worry Otoutou… He's gone to the wolfs den right now to talk with the guards. He won't be there for a while…" I was surprised to see him say that. Then again Gaara wasn't afraid of Chichiue… Chichiue didn't ever hurt him. But then again, Chichiue was terribly ill right now and when he got mad it was the illness that was speaking. Not him. Chichiue is a kind hearted man and I know that…

You see Gaara's father was my father's eldest brother, having been the youngest of nine my father trained hard and was then told that he would be the ruler of the land, taking away the rights from his 8 brothers. I bet his father was playing favorites. But anyways his older brothers tried to take the life of my father, but Gaara's father, the eldest of the nine, stepped in their way… Once their father learned of the attempted homicide he banished those 7 sons of his to different parts of the world before he died. Leaving Shukaku and Kyuubi alone, until about 17 years ago when Shukaku-sama mated and his mate gave birth to my "brother" Gaara. A couple weeks before Gaara was born though his father died in a way that none of us know about. So my father was there when Shukaku-sama's mate gave birth to Gaara and died. My father decided that Gaara would be a very important part of my family. That he would be my guardian, and that's just what Gaara is. My brother and my guardian… Does that make him my Bardian? Grother? I don't know…

So you see when Gaara was born my father took up an oath with himself saying he would never harm Gaara. He said it was the only way he could really repay his brother for protecting him throughout his life. So when I was born a year later, my father held Gaara in his arms as he watched my mother die before his eyes with me in her arms.

"What are you staring at?" Snapping me out of my thoughts I saw Gaara staring back at me. I hadn't noticed I was staring. Shaking my head I smiled at my sweet older brother.

"It's nothing, thank you Nii-san…"

I just remembered that I'm extremely grateful to have a brother like him…

"Ah, there you are Naruto-kun!" Dei exclaimed hugging me tightly as Gaara and I entered the massive chambers that led to the Nest. Hugging back while trying to bite back a yelp of pain is harder then it looks. Deidara looked at me with a curious look and put his head to the side. "Is something wrong Naruto-kun?"

"No, just a little bit of pain in my back…" I said to him obviously lying having one eye closed from the pain.

"Oh! Yeah! While Neji is examining you, Hinata and I will go out in search of herbs to help your back feel better yeah!" I just smiled and nodded. "That'll do finely..."

Deidara led Gaara and I to the Right Wings of the Nest, to where most of the medical treatment was provided. Whether it was broken arms, bruised muscles, or even a cut, Neji would be there to take care of it. And Hinata and Dei would get the proper medicine to treat it if it was an ailment.

Up through the wooden staircases and through the wooden interior of the Right Wings. We were led to a beautiful spherical room. A high ceiling was above us with a large fire burning, (2) never ruining the finely carved ceiling. All around the room there were chairs. These were set there for the when a baby boy was being born into a family. Everyone in our clan was allowed to attend. But baby girls weren't "important" enough to be viewed so they were in a room far into the Left Wings, the mothers were the only ones in the rooms and they were left there to give birth by themselves, left either to die, or for their daughters to die, or for both. I hate it! I think that every child, every being is important. That is why when I take the throne this year I will make sure that everyone will be important enough to be seen at a birth ceremony.

Gaara nodded at me back at the door and shut it leaving me, the two men and Hinata alone…

Going up to the bed that was in the middle it was a circular wooden bed that was carved out of the ground, all too familiar to me stepping into it I waited for my Doctor to come and check me over. This always happened the day after I went into heat. I hate it. I have to take off my shirt so Doctor Neji can look me over and see what the damage is. It's so embarrassing!

(Normal POV)

Hearing footsteps, he leaned back into the soft cushions of the heated bed. "Ah, hello Your Highness." Looking up Naruto saw Neji's head was bowed as well as Hinata's and Deidara-kun's. Lifting his head before his cousin's, he looked straight at Naruto with his blank stare and motioned for him to take off his shirt. "Now shall we begin? You know all of the procedures by now." Naruto knew.

Taking off his shirt he stared at the Hyuuga who was now staring at his stomach. "Alright Your Highness, if you would, please lay back." Naruto laid back and Neji began the procedure. "Byakugan!" In the great Animal God Kingdoms' they usually relied on chakra with medical procedures, fighting and with pretty much everything. Neji was using his special bloodline jutsu, Byakugan, to search inside of Naruto for any hints of pregnancy.

After a while of searching through his stomach Neji found nothing. No new chakra inside the young semi-hermaphrodite's stomach.

Turning off his Byakugan he looked down at Naruto who was anxiously awaiting the diagnosis. "I'm sorry your Highness… But you aren't going to have a litter this time around." Naruto looked shocked at him, this can't be happening to me!

"Well, it was a human he mated with cousin… Maybe we just need to wait a while to see what will happen." Deidara said as he looked at his shocked, sad best friend.

"You're right Deidara-san… Since it was a human he mated with this time. Maybe the child will develop more slowly then would an Animal God's child… I mean humans do happen to have longer pregnancies then we do…Hm… Very well then, Your Majesty, I will have a check up with you in a couple of weeks. Just take it easy and tell me if anything seems strange to you."

Naruto's heart brightened as he heard those words… "So… You mean I am pregnant?" Naruto's hopeful voice exclaimed.

"It's not for certain yet… But we'll have to check on you in the near future to see if there are any changes in your body." Naruto smiled and nodded. Jumping out of the bed Naruto ran to the door opening it he found a rather angered Gaara. "What is it Gaara-nii?" Gaara looked at his little brother and sadly stated.

"You went into heat last night…with a human?" Naruto nodded and looked away from his brother. Not before feeling arms wrap around his waist. Naruto realized that his brother was hugging him. It was a very rare occasions like this that Naruto even felt his brother crying onto his head. "I'm so sorry… I couldn't help you."

"Gaara-nii…It wasn't--"

"Highness?" Kakashi bid the young boy to follow him to the lair of the great Kyuubi-sama. Naruto let go of his older brother and walked through the halls to the lair of his father. Naruto was still shaking from last night; Father was just mad last night… He didn't really mean to hit me… It's just his sickness that is getting him that way… Naruto looked over his shoulder to see his brother walking the other way away from him.

--
Naruto looked at the great door that stood before him and gulped. Well… here goes nothing…Naruto reached for the door.

"Don't worry your Highness…" Naruto looked at his sensei and saw him smiling confused Kakashi started up his sentence again. "Since it is a meeting between Orochimaru-sama, your father and yourself. I shall be accompanying you during the meeting so that snake won't do anything to make you feel uncomfortable."

"Thank you sensei… but that man makes me uncomfortable even if he isn't talking or looking at me…" Kakashi nodded and opened the door for Naruto. "Your Highness…" Naruto laughed and walked into the great meeting hall. That Kakashi sure is weird.

Seeing his father and Orochimaru talking animatedly about something Naruto started walking up to the table. Hearing Kakashi cough they both looked in their general direction. Orochimaru's eyes were lustfully looking up and down at Naruto's young body. Naruto stepped quickly behind Kakashi. Kakashi stepped forward into the light of the dark room and bowed to Naruto's father.

"Your Majesty… I have brought your son here as you have requested. Is there anything else I can do for you or for his Excellency?" Naruto knew that Kakashi would rather die then serve Orochimaru because of the bitter tone in his voice when he said 'Excellency. Kyuubi just shook his head and nodded at Kakashi who then went up to the table pulling out a chair for Naruto. Naruto hesitantly walked over and sat across from his father. Kakashi sitting on his left and Orochimaru on his right.

After a while Naruto finally got up the courage and asked his father, "Chichiue? Why have you summoned me here today?" Kyuubi just looked up at the young boy shocked but then calmed down when he saw Naruto flinch.

"I'm sorry my son… It's just been a while since you called me Chichiue… The reason I summoned you here was to talk about your engagement…" Naruto looked away from his father when he heard the word engagement.

"Naruto, I know how you feel but please just bear with me through this meeting…" Kyuubi said trying to get his son's attention with a few coughs after that.. Once he failed at that he heard Naruto speak to Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru-sama… will you please leave my father and I to talk alone?" Orochimaru looked shocked to hear the young nine-tail talk to him. Now that was a rare occasion. "Of course your Highness… Your Majesty…" He bowed to them and Naruto looked at Kakashi as Orochimaru left through the door. "Keep him away from the door Kakashi…" Bowing at the young prince's request Kakashi left the room leaving the two foxes alone in the room.

Kyuubi watched as his son ruthlessly told the men to leave them alone. "Naruto… I…"

"Why father!" Naruto yelled at him tears in his eyes, "Why must I marry that man!" Kyuubi stared at his young son and looked away from him.

Walking over to the window Kyuubi saw all of the little children down below playing at the castle gates.

"Naruto… Do you love these people?" Naruto looked confused at his father. It was the first time he had ever asked him that question.

"Of course Chichiue… They're my family…" Naruto looked at his father, blonde hair, and red eyes. His father looked over at him and smiled. "Naruto come here…" Walking up to his father he looked out the window and saw all the little children playing with Deidara, Akamaru and Kiba. Naruto chuckled as Sasori ran out and started yelling at the little kids for going to close to the gates. Dei started yelling back and they got into a big huge fight. Deidara ending up kissing Sasori and running off with the kids leaving Sasori stunned and just standing there.

Feeling an arm go around his shoulder, Naruto looked at his father's smiling face. And then he looked away again, "Naruto… Soon you will take my place as King of this land. Soon you will be the ruler and you will understand what it truly means to be…cough to be a king. I'm so terribly ill and I'm so sorry for hurting you Naruto. But you see, if I wanted to I could leave this place right now and find someone who could cure my illness…"

"Then why don't—

"But that would leave these people alone and afraid. I could never leave these people alone, I promised when I took up the throne to protect them from everything and anything at the cost of my own life.

It would be selfish of me if I were to give them up to cure my illness. I will never leave my people alone to suffer like my father did. Do you understand where I'm getting at Naruto?" Naruto looked confused at his father.

"What does this have to do with me and my problems?" Kyuubi sighed and looked out the window where things were starting to cool down. "Naruto… This whole marriage thing is about these people, your people. 13 years ago when you were sill just a kit, my brother the five-tail, came over here…cough, cough he said that he would kill our people if I didn't listen to his demands…cough his son… wanted to have you as his mate. So thinking of my people I had only one choice but to give them what they wanted…wheeze If only I didn't drag you into that room with me that day, this never would've happened…" Going into a coughing fit, Naruto looked at his father stunned.

Father placed his people before his son! WHY!

As if reading his mind Kyuubi responded to his son,"I did it for my people Naruto… If you were in my same position I bet you would've done the same thing… I could never put my people in harms way, like you said, they're my family too…"

"I guess I would've…"

"Now Naruto, there is something I've wanted to ask you…"

"What is it Chichiue?" Smiling at his son Kyuubi grabbed him by the shoulders and asked. "Why do you smell like a human?" He wasn't rough on Naruto and if he was going to hurt him he was restraining a whole bunch. Naruto was panicking, damn! How could I have forgotten to take a bath before meeting my father… But that would be no good... father has the best sense of smell in all the land.

"Well you see… um… I went into heat yesterday and… traveler and… um…" Naruto was being so quiet about it that Kyuubi hardly picked up most of the words…

"So you mated with a human? That's odd even for you…" Surprisingly Kyuubi was laughing at the whole situation. Sniffing his son down he found a necklace wrapped around his neck. A beautiful dark onyx jewel with an insignia carved into it…

"I see… an Uchiha…" Looking at his son he smiled again. "You've found a wonderful mate to mate with Naruto… Is this why you kept running away out of the castle grounds?" Seeing a cheerful look on his fathers face made Naruto happier. "No, well you see he sort of volunteered to mate with me. I asked if he would help me and he willingly mated with me…" Laughing his father smiled at him.

"So you don't think that it is a horrible thing?" Kyuubi shook his head and grinned. "No because I'm going to get grandchildren!" He commented bouncing around the room with whoopies and horray's. Naruto laughed at the comment, "Chichiueee!" Jumping on top of his father like a six year old he started trying to tickle him. But his father just took over and started tickling Naruto instead. After the long tickle fight they got up and looked out the window again, watching over their people.

"Chichiue… I don't think he got me pregnant…" Kyuubi looked at his son with concern; if an animal god didn't get pregnant then something was terribly wrong. "But Neji said that since it was human whom I mated with and since they seem to have longer pregnancies then we do. He said that he would check on me and see if the child had started developing then." Kyuubi looked at his son and then at the forest that surrounded them seeing the beautiful lake out in the distance.

"You know son, that Uchiha, probably doesn't live that far from here. He may live just past the other side of this lake, or maybe in the great eastern woods in the fire city of Konoha. If he is anything like his ancestors then he would probably be a great ninja in his village."

"You knew his ancestors Chichiue?" Kyuubi nodded and looked toward the lake. "Why are you bringing this up?"

" No reason… And yes I knew them, but that was a long time ago… Naruto, I want you to leave here for a while. Your are no longer safe here, if my brother figures out that you are pregnant with a human child there is no telling what he will do to you. Go to the human village of Konoha, the village hidden within the leaves. There you will find an old friend of mine named Tsunade. There is something wrong with your reproductive system… Whether you mated with a human or not, the child would've stated developing by now. I need you to go to her and figure out what is wrong, and once she has you cured then you come back as soon as she has you taken care of, with-your-mate! Tell her that I sent you… she'll understand." Naruto was shocked at his father's words.

"But Chichiue, what if they figure out that I am a Kyuubi? Won't they kill me? What about everyone else here?"

"If you are under Tsunade's care then nothing will happen to you, and I will inform Kakashi about this so he won't go off searching for you. Everyone will be fine so long as I am here. I promise… Now come with me I need to give you some things that will be useful to you on your journey." Leaving the room Naruto was happy to see that no one was by the door. Heading to his father's chambers Naruto looked at the decorations on the wall. The place was completely surrounded by flame. That was normal though, because Animal god's needed to stay in warm places. That was why they chose a volcanic mountain as their castle location. Naruto knew that his father used all of his chakra to keep the lava flow away from damaging the castle when there was an eruption.

Once he got into his father's room Naruto looked at all of the things his father held out for him. A set of Kunai blades, and shuriken. "With this Naruto you will be safe from anyone who would dare want to harm you. Also use your chakra to help you as well. Ninja's these days are very sly creatures." Naruto nodded and felt his father's hand go upon his stomach. Lifting up his shirt Kyuubi sent a wave of pain into Naruto as he laid his palm on his stomach. A seal mark then showed up on his belly and Naruto looked at his father.

"What was that about Chichiue!" Kyuubi stared at his son. "I sealed most of my chakra into you. So if you ever need me just activate it and I will help. Use it only if you are on the verge of death., it will also activate if you have died. Never rely on it, it is practically all of the chakra I have left." Naruto nodded and he then felt something changing within his body. He saw his tails start to disappear and his ears were now morphing onto his side into the same color as his skin. Looking at his hands his talons were starting to diminish and they were now just finger nails.

"Chichiue what happened to me?"

"It's an illusion technique that will only go away at when you see the moon. It's to protect you from poachers. My advice is to never look at the moon until you get to Konoha. It's about a day's journey from here. Take this map and this cloak; never show your face to anyone until you see Tsunade. If anyone tries to attack you or rape you never hold back, you have all rights to brutally injure them or ."

"Chichiue… I'll miss you…And please get better soon…" Kyuubi nodded and Naruto made his way to the window. "Oh yes, Naruto, also tell Tsunade that I will not hesitate to destroy that village if you are ever in harms way."

"Got it father…" Jumping out of the window Naruto made his way on his journey to the great fire village of Konoha.

Yeah I know what your thinking. Kyuubi-sama is waaaay out of character. It's needed for this story. I'm sorry that it was so long!

Yeah no Sasuke this chapter, but he will be in the next chapter! Please REVIEW!

(1) Deidara isn't a member of the Hyuuga family… For those who don't know who he is. He first appears in chapter 250(? close to there) of Naruto, with Sasori-danna. You'll have to read that because I'm no spoiler. Those two are really funny! At least I think so…

(2) Now I bet I have some people confused on the subject of the castle. Good question of the castle. You see it is actually a really BIG tree and several hundreds of HUGE trees next to it. But after the great demon war the outer walls were covered with stone to make sure the outside didn't catch on fire. But the interior is still wooden. So when I said Naruto's bed was carved out of the castle. I didn't mean stone. It is actually a bed that is attached to wall. With silk everywhere and the carvings on the top are actually carved into the wood. So while the outside may look like a stone castle. The inside is actually still made of wood!

Sorry if I confused you in some parts! ;

Next chapter: Naruto sets off on his journey, see what will happen once he gets to Konoha!

Review Please!
