So here's chapter 4. Sorry about the wait, hope it didn't piss you guys off to much.
There was an eerie darkness about the room, it chilled Orochimaru to the bones. Something about this place really scared him, although he still kept that smirk on his face. He walked down the corridor and into a large chamber. It was a circular shape with a large table at one end. There where seven figures sitting along the table, each figure was shrouded in a veil of darkness.
"We are glad to see you have arrived Orochimaru-sama" the seven figures said in unison. Orochimaru had no idea where he was, but he didn't like it. All he could remember was going to sleep in his Suna hideout and then waking up here in this place.
"Who are you and what do you want" Orochimaru said casually as if this kind of thing happened all the time.
"We are the Origin". This time only a single voice spoke. "We are the ones who opened our eyes. We are trapped here but with your help we can raise the palace."
"I'm not helping you, I'm leaving" Orochimaru said as he turned and left.
The figure in the middle stood up. "You can't leave until you agree to help us." He threw a folder at to the ground, Orochimaru picked it up and eyed it. We want you to bring us someone. Everything you need to know about him is in that folder. Once you have him you will seal him within a scroll and we will summon you back here. If you do this we will reward you with the prize of immortality. What do you say Orochimaru-sama."
Orochimaru smirked. "For immortality I'll do it, but know this, if I do not get my reward I'll kill all of you."
The figures laughed. In a flash of light Orochimaru woke up back in his hideout. Could it all have been a dream? It wasn't, the folder the figure had given him lay right next to him on his bedside table. The job was on. He picked up the folder and began to read through it. He laughed when he saw who he had to seal. This was going to be easier then he thought.
The chakra blades skimmed across the ground and sliced straight threw the trees. The trees fell to the ground sending a loud crash sound echoing through the forest. "Well done kit. I told you'd get it eventually. Your skills are moving along very nicely."
"Arigato Kyuubi-sensei, I could not have done it without your help" Naruto said.
"You are very welcome young kit, now let's go back home."
Naruto was overjoyed to hear those words. He'd been out in the forest for nearly a week training. He was tired and in desperate need for rest. Kyuubi's training method was train then train some more and never have any time to rest. It got the job done but it wasn't exactly fun. Now all Naruto looked forward too was a nice hot bath and some sleep.
The two walked down the streets of Konoha. None of the villages paid them any attention. The two kept walking as if invisible until a voice echoed through the streets.
"NARUTO-KUN."
Naruto and Kyuubi both turned around to see a pink haired konochi running towards them. Sakura ran right up and hugged Naruto.
"Tsunade-sama told me you where out of the hospital. I've been looking everywhere for you. I can't believe you did it, you brought Sasuke back. Where have you been all this time?"
"Sakura-chan it's good to see you. I told you I'd bring him back didn't I."
"Yeah you did. Thanks Naruto-kun"
"Waste of fucking time I say" Kyuubi said staring off at the sky.
"And who are you?"
Kyuubi laughed. "You can call me Kyuu, I'm Naruto's personal trainer and an old friend, I've know him for all of his life. After your precious Sasuke attacked Naruto he required a special trainer to help him recover. That trainer is me, Kyuu-san."
Sakura scowled. She really didn't like this Kyuu lady. "Well anyway Naruto, Sasuke and I are going for a BBQ tonight, do you want to come."
"I'm a little tired but okay. What time."
"Seven o'clock, I'll see you there" she said as she ran off down the streets.
"I don't like that Sakura, you should kill her, I bet she'd taste delicious with some sweet plum sauce" Kyuubi said licking her lips.
Naruto sighed. "Keep those comments to yourself would you."
Jariya, Tsunade and Kakashi sat around the small table, they had only been there for ten minutes but where already on their second bottle of sake. Kakashi was beside himself. He had been under the impression that Naruto was dead and was only just now being told of his recovery.
"Kakashi I want you to watch Naruto very closely, I believe Kyuubi might be trying to poison his mind" Tsunade said.
Kakashi looked shocked. "What do you mean by poison his mind" Kakashi asked.
"He's unstable" Jariya said, speaking for the first time. "From what Kyuubi has told us Naruto has been depressed for some years now, he has even gone so far as to attempt to kill himself. After everything the villages have done to him he's now starting to believe that he is just a bakemono, we want you to watch him, he starts doing anything strange you report it. Naruto is a little unstable and Kyuubi may try to take advantage of his current state."
"Okay but what constitutes as strange, I mean he did just become the nine tailed fox, everything about him will be strange."
"Any kind of anti-social behavior, anything that didn't use to do. We trust your judgment, if you think something isn't right tell us."
Kakashi nodded. The three raised their dishes drank.
Sakura and Sasuke sat at the table, Sasuke hadn't said much since they had arrived and this irritated Sakura. She smiled when she saw Naruto, and then scowled when she saw Kyuubi next to him.
"I don't remember you being invited" Sakura said to Kyuubi in a cheerful yet icy tone.
"I wasn't, I just thought I'd better come. Naruto is still quite weak from the fight and I wouldn't want to see him strain himself."
Naruto walked right up to Sakura and leant close to her. "Sorry she's here it's just I kind of need to keep an eye on her. I don't want her running around making trouble" he whispered in her ear.
"What" Sakura whispered "I thought she was your personal trainer, why do you need to keep an eye on her?"
"He thinks I might do something bad" Kyuubi said interrupting Naruto and Sakura. "Given my track record I don't blame him. Why I'm here doesn't matter though. Let's just all sit down and enjoy the BBQ."
The four sat down and began to chat. Sasuke was looking very pale. He knew he had killed Naruto, he ripped straight through his heart but here he was still alive.
"N...Naruto are you okay" Sasuke said trying to sound casual but failing dismily.
Naruto chuckled lightly. "I'm fine, no permanent damage it's all good." Sasuke smiled slightly at the news. The four sat down and began to talk. Sakura really didn't seem to like Kyuubi, Sasuke just looked slightly threatened but decided to find out what he could.
"So tell us a little about your self Kyuu, how long have you known Naruto for" Sasuke said trying to start a little conversation.
"I've known Naruto his entire life. There's nothing about him I don't know."
"Sounds like you guys are really close" Sakura said putting on a fake smile.
Kyuubi chuckled lightly. "I know him but he barely knows me. Where not really that close, in fact Naruto hates me and the first time I saw Naruto I tried to kill him. We both stuck with each other so we force our selves to get along."
"Naruto" Sasuke said, taking his eyes off Kyuubi for the first time. "At the valley of the end, you had a power, what was that power that could challenge the curse seal on stage two. And where did Kyuu come from. That night in the Hokage's office I saw her she wasn't real. She was made out of chakra. I have questions and..."
The food had arrived and Kyuubi had quickly shoved some pork into Sasuke's mouth, stopping him from saying anymore. Kyuubi leant down low to Sasuke's ear. "You will stop talking about that night and you will stop asking questions about that power. If you stray into these areas of speech I'll cut off your dick and cram it up your ass, you understand or do I have to spell it to you." There was something about Kyuubi, one moment she could seem happy and pleasant to be around and the next moment she could make someone shit their pants just by glaring at them.
Sasuke nodded and then swallowed loudly. The four all began to eat. No more questions where asked about Kyuubi or where Naruto had been for the last week.
It was around nine when Naruto finally got home. He trudged through the door and collapsed on his bed. He would've fallen asleep if Kyuubi hadn't walked in. She was holding a small bottle and glass. "It's time for your medicine."
"I don't need medicine, I'm fully recovered."
Kyuubi laughed. "Kit this is the kind of medicine you're going to need to take for the rest of your life. Now your Hokage had to go to a lot of trouble to get this, so you're going to take this."
"Forget it, I'm going to bed."
Kyuubi sighed. She made the ram seal and began to focus chakra. The seal on Naruto's chest began to burn, he fell to the ground and was unable to move. She leaned over him and forced him to drink the entire bottle of medicine. Naruto coughed and spluttered as the medicine went down. "There that wasn't so bad, was it" Kyuubi said with a smile.
"What the hell did you do to me and what was that shit" Naruto said still coughing.
Kyuubi laughed. "Remember when you first saw you had that seal on you and I said that the seal could do a few other things aside from restricting chakra. This is one of those other things. I can completely shut down your body if the situation calls got it. Now as for the medicine that was human blood."
"What!" Naruto shouted.
"Keep it down, no need to yell. It's quite simple, you're a demon and demons crave blood. If you don't have blood regularly then your blood lust will take you over. If that happens then you'll attack anyone and the last thing you need is a murder charge for the council to pin on you." She put her hands together in the ram seal again and channeled chakra. Naruto began to get the feeling back in his body and picked himself up. This time he was able to get to bed without any interruptions which he was very grateful for. It was only seconds before he fell asleep. Kyuubi just sat down on the couch and watched TV.
Naruto looked around, he was in that dream again. Ever since Kyuubi had left him he'd been getting this dream. He was in a long corridor that seemed to span for eternity. He walked down the corridor for a long time. He had completely lost track of time, he could've been walking for minutes or he could have been walking for years. He kept walking until he came across a large black orb about the size of a basketball floating in the middle of the cooridoor. It had wisps of white which swirled around in the darkness. Something about the orb made Naruto want to run, his whole body wanted to flee. He turned around and started to walk back the way he had come.
He only got a few meters before the orb appeared in his way. It was clear there was no escaping the orb. He reached out a hand, the air around the orb felt cool and soothing. He was only mere millimeters away from the orb when a loud screeching sound tore through the corridor.
He sat bolt upright screaming. There was a cold sweat all over him. The dream always ended the same. He sat there panting, what did the dream mean and what was that orb? He lay back in his bed and rolled over. There in front of him was the sleeping form of Kyuubi. She was snoring very lightly and had drool coming from her mouth in an almost comical way. Naruto fell out of bed in surprise and landed with a heavy thud. "What the hell are you doing, we agreed that you would sleep on the couch and I would get the bed."
Kyuubi woke up drously,and looked around, it took several moments for her to realize what going on. "Kit why did you have to wake me up."
"Why the hell are you in my bed?"
"Oh, the couch was uncomfortable, I couldn't sleep there"
"You're not sleeping in my bed' Naruto said stamping his foot on the floor.
A cruel smile appeared on Kyuubi's face. "I may as well sleep in it I mean your not using it." Before Naruto could ask what she meant, Kyuubi made the tiger seal and began to channel chakra. Naruto let out a gasp as he felt his body change into that of his fox form and shrink to the size of just a kitling. "That seal is so handy when I want to change your form, and draw all your chakra away. Now that you're so small you can sleep on the end of the bed and I can have the rest. Goodnight."
With that Kyuubi lay back down and pulled the covers over her head. Naruto grumbled, he hated this but there was nothing he could do. He curled up on the end of the bed and fell asleep.
So that was chapter 4. Leave a review and tell me what you think. Anyway more importantly I need to figure out who I'm going to pair Naruto with. I'm open for suggestions. I'm thinking maybe a Sakura or Hinata. As for Kyuubi I don't know whether she should be a mother figure or if she should be paired with Naruto. Like I'm a fan of NaruSaku but I also like NaruHina but there's a lot of NarutHina. Maybe I'll do a NaruHina or maybe I won't. Honestly I don't know, that's why I need you guys to leave a review or give me some kind of sign as to what I should go with.
Hope you enjoyed. Next chapter will be up soon…hopefully, nah jokes it'll be up soon.
