The Fox's Sword
Chapter 2: Meeting Kyuubi
Disclaimer: I own nothing of Naruto or of Harry Potter. I really wished that I did, but sadly I do not. I just to say a big huge 'Thank You' to all of those who wrote a review, favored, and followed this or any of my other stories. It means a lot to us authors to have your support.
AN: The Wizardry World will not return in this fic as Lana has been Samehada for at least a hundred years. Another thing, Samehada is going to be a mother/mentor figure to Naruto.
"Talking"
'Thinking'
"Samehada speaking"
*Kyuubi speaking*
"Samehada speaking to others other than her master"
(Scene Break)
Last Time…
Samehada smiled in happiness, showing off her teeth, scaring everyone, except Naruto, as she squealed, "Master!"
"Master?" A very confused Naruto repeated.
Sarutobi and his ANBUs felt like banging their heads against the nearest wall. They could not believe that Samehada, the strongest sword in existence, claimed Naruto as its master.
"Lucky little bastard," One of the ANBUs muttered. Everyone agreed with that statement.
(Scene Break)
Present Time…
"Can you please tell them that I'm a female, Naruto?" Samehada requested of Naruto as she was getting tired of being referred as an it. She does have her pride after all.
Naruto nodded as he tugged on the sleeve of the Hokage's robe, so he could get his jiji's attention.
"Yes Naruto, what is it?" The Third Hokage asked as he knelt down to Naruto's level.
Naruto pointed to Samehada and simply told him, "She says that she's a girl, jiji."
Sarutobi felt like he was going to faint soon. Sighing, Sarutobi told Naruto, "Naruto, why don't you take your uhh… friend back to your apartment?"
"Okay, jiji!" Naruto cheered, before heading out towards his apartment. Naruto felt like he won a lifetime supply of ramen, when he heard that he has a friend. "Come on and I will show you where I live, umm… What's your name, Miss Doggy?"
That question caused the Hokage and the ANBUs to face fault on the ground. Luckily, none of them were high up enough that it caused any injuries. It took this long for Naruto to realize that he did not know Samehada's name and think that she was a dog. Well, Samehada does move her handle like it was a tail, can't really blame Naruto for his mistake. Shaking their heads, they all thought fondly, 'Typical Naruto.'
"Gigigi gigi gigigigi," Samehada laughed. "My name is Samehada, Naruto and I'm a special sword."
"Oh, okay. Come on, Same -chan! I'll show you the way," Naruto called out as he ran ahead.
'Same -chan, I like it. This is the first time that someone gave me a nickname of my own,' Samehada thought to herself as she followed Naruto to wherever he was going.
(Scene Break)
Samehada mentally frowned to herself when Naruto let her into a run down apartment in the Red Light district of Konoha. She read the words 'Monster' and 'Demon' and 'Die' painted in what looked like to be blood on the walls on the way up here. No child should live in this type of place. She was just surprised that the young jinchuuriki did not snap and go on a killing spree.
Samehada suddenly, sensed that Naruto seemed to be some what sad and depressed, so she asked, "Naruto, what's wrong?"
"I just don't get why do so many people think that I'm a demon," Naruto told her sadly as he sat on his bed and drew his legs up to his chest and gently rocked back and forth.
"That's because you're a jinchuuriki," Samehada said as she was shocked that Naruto did not know what he was. It was for the best that someone told him and she decided it was going to be her.
"Jin –chuur –iki," Naruto repeated slowly as he never heard that term before. "What does that mean, Same -chan?"
Samehada mentally pulled herself together and decided to explain in such a way that Naruto, hopefully, did not freak out on her. So for the next fifteen minutes, Samehada explained what a jinchuuriki was, what it meant for Naruto, and how people, especially civilians, can be blinded by stupidity. After the explanation, Naruto was quiet as he finally got the reason why so many people except for a handful, hated him so much. He is Kyuubi's prison and warden. Looking at Samehada and for once, he asked seriously, "Same -chan, can I meet Kyuubi?"
"Yes, you can. Lay back and I will do the rest," Samehada told him as she used a bit of Chakra to enter into Naruto's mindscape.
(Scene Break)
In Naruto's mindscape…
Naruto opened his eyes and looked around. Apparently, his mindscape was made of huge pipes with red water gently flowing through them.
"Interesting mindscape that you have here, Naruto." Spinning around, Naruto expected to see Samehada in her regular form, but what he did not expect to see was an older woman, who looked to be around the age of eighteen, standing behind him with amusement written all over her face.
"Same -chan?" Naruto asked slowly in case he was wrong. The woman was tall, her wavy midnight black hair went down to her waist, her eyes were of the brightest green that Naruto ever seen before in his life, and she seemed to glow slightly. She wore a pair of black slacks and an emerald colored button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows.
Samehada bent down and patted Naruto on the head and smiled. "Yeah, it's me. It has just been a very long time since I have been in this form."
"You're pretty!" Naruto suddenly blurted out. Once, Naruto had realized what he had just said, his face turned bright red and he suddenly found that the water was more interesting to look at.
"Thank you, Naruto," Samehada chuckled at his behavior. "Why don't we move on, so we can meet Kyuubi?"
"Okay," Naruto said softly.
Samehada smiled and pick Naruto up and set him against her hip as she carried him as they traveled. Naruto was surprised that Same –chan picked him up and began to carry him. Naruto found that he really liked the feeling and wondered if this was how it felt to have a mother. If it was, then he would be coming back into his mind more often with Same –chan.
As Samehada continued walking in the direction, where she had sensed that the nine tailed demon was located, she had realized that the ankle deep water was in fact, Naruto's chakra. As they got closer, Samehada could detect a hint of demonic chakra being mixed in with Naruto's personal chakra.
Suddenly, Samehada and Naruto were in a huge room that was lit by some sort of light that they could not see the source of it. Off to one side of the room there was Kyuubi's cage and on the bars was a piece of paper with the word 'Seal' written on it.
*SO I FINALLY GET A VISIT FROM MY JAILOR! COME HERE, BOY, SO I CAN EAT YOU!* Kyuubi's loud booming voice broke the silence, causing Naruto to jump in surprise in Samehada's arms, Samehada set him down as she frowned at the demon.
"That's not going to happen, Kyuubi," Samehada told the demon.
*PITY! THEN TELL ME WHY ARE YOU TWO BUGS HERE!?* Kyuubi demanded.
"I would watch who you are calling bugs, Kyuubi, as I do have the ability to absorb limitless amounts of chakra and you are made of chakra, right? The reason that we are here is because Naruto here, wants to meet you and possibly work out a deal with you that could benefit both of us," Samehada calmly stated. While it was good to stay on the demon's good side, if he even had one, but a threat like that can show that they are not willing to let him walk all over them.
*OH, WHY DO YOU WANT TO MEET ME, JAILOR?* Kyuubi's huge eye focused on Naruto, who was, now, standing in front of Samehada as if to protect her from the demon.
"I want to know why you attacked Konoha?" Naruto demanded, not showing an ounce of fear.
*I WAS BEING CONTROLLED!* Was Kyuubi's answer.
Samehada was shocked at the answer; she could tell that he was telling them the truth. This was very bad news. Whoever could control Kyuubi was clearly very dangerous and they could come after Naruto next and no one would be any wiser until it was too late. So she asked, "Who was controlling you?"
*MADARA UCHIHA!* One could very easily tell that Kyuubi really hated that man.
Samehada felt something leaning against her and saw that it was Naruto who was fast asleep. Apparently, everything that had happened caught up with him and now he was asleep. Looking back at the demon, she asked, "How about we work out that deal, now?"
*VERY WELL!* What they did not know or realize that both the real and the fake Madara Uchiha was already dead.
AN: I hope that you all like this chapter. Please review and tell me what you all think of it. Have a nice day, everyone.
