Naraku's appearance!

While Sesshomaru was getting to know Gaara, Inuyasha was getting a major headache! Naruto was a bit of a pest and he was starting to get on his nerves faster than Shippo ever could! He had had enough; Naruto needed to SHUT UP!!

"Naruto, can you please be quiet for ten seconds?!" Inuyasha said, annoyed.

"Now you know what we go through every day!" grumbled Sasuke and Sakura.

"Hey, I don't think Naruto's that annoying!" retorted Shippo.

"Arigato, Shippo-chan!" said Naruto. He had at least one person on his side!

It was then that Inuyasha noticed something was wrong. There was a scent in there air that hang heavily on his heart. He then noticed that the annoying runt Naruto had finally shut up and was wary of their surroundings. Something was up; he just didn't know what it was.

A cackle that was all too familiar to the group filled the air.

"Shit. Naruto and the rest of you, find someplace to hide! That teme Naraku is coming!" Inuyasha cried.

His call came too late as the miasma filled the air.

"What the…hell is…this stuff?!" exclaimed Naruto between coughs.

"Naruto, try not to breathe! This is a nasty miasma; if you breathe in too much you could die!" yelled Sango.

Sakura and Sasuke had already collapsed from the poisonous gas. Naruto was the only one who could still stand, and even he was fading rapidly! It seemed as though this was the end for the three Genin. Or so everyone thought…
Dammit! I am NOT going to let this baka die! But how the hell am I gonna get out to save these idiots?! The nine-tailed fox roared inside Naruto's consciousness.

What the hell…?! First this weird gas and now you?! Can this day get any more painful?

Back off it brat! If you die, then I die as well! And there's no way in HELL I am going to die from some wanna-be hanyou and his damn miasma!

What can I do about this, you TEME KITSUNE?!

Let me take over, dobe and you'll live to see tomorrow…

Fine…

Naruto's eyes began to glow; piercing through the darkness created by the deadly gas. Inuyasha assumed that the eyes belonged to Naraku and almost attacked when he felt it. An aura he had never felt before overtook him; it sent shivers down his spine. Then it stopped abruptly, and he was able to see what was going on. It was Naruto, something was wrong with the annoying Shinobi.

"Finally! 'Bout time that brat let me take over! Now to take care of this damn miasma…"

A strange and disturbing wind blew throughout the area, and Naruto was in the center of it all. Inuyasha stared in disbelief; how could a small runt like Naruto dispel the miasma so easily?!

"Oy, Inu-dobe! Where the hell is the teme who let off the miasma?!" growled Kyuubi-Naruto.

"Watch it brat! I can't tell where Naraku is, my nose has yet to recover!" he retorted.

"Figures. I'll deal with the arrogant bastard!"

Inuyasha couldn't believe what was happening! The annoying-runt-of-a-shinobi was declaring that he would deal with Naraku?! Something was not right about this…

"You can do whatever ya want to Naraku, but only after you answer my question!" he said.

"What question could a Hanyou like yourself have to ask me?"

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

Kyuubi was amused at the reaction. He decided that it would be even more amusing to see Inuyasha's face when he found out the truth!

"I am Kyuubi. That dobe Naruto is a container I was forced into by the annoying shinobi of his village."

"Naruto has a FOX INSIDE HIM?!"

"Let's see…there he is! Now the fool shall face my wrath!" roared Kyuubi-Naruto. He had located Naraku and sped off to deal with the creep.

"What the…that isn't Inuyasha coming towards me! Who the hell is that?" pondered Naraku.

The mysterious aura finally showed its face; Naraku was both shocked and amused. It was a boy wearing orange coming towards him.

"Seems I have a guest…who are you and what is it that you desire?" asked Naraku coyly. He was very adept at manipulating people.

"What do I desire? How 'bout I show you!" roared Kyuubi-Naruto before he landed a solid punch on Naraku.

"Arrogant brat! How dare you…?" started Naraku before Kyuubi could land another blow.

"ARROGANT?! YOU'RE THE ARROGANT TEME, NOT ME! HOW DARE YOU ASSUME THAT YOUR PATHETIC MIASMA WOULD AFFECT ME!"

Naraku was stunned as Kyuubi-Naruto began to grow one…no two tails. (You can tell Kyuubi was seriously pissed off.)

"What the hell are you supposed to be?" gloated Naraku. He raised his shields and felt a false sense of security in his belief that they would actually protect him from the enraged Fox Lord's assault.
