Disclaimer: No, I don't own Naruto or any of the characters. Why in the world would you even think that?

"Talking"
'Thinking'
"'Kyuubi'"

A/N: Shoop Da Whoop! BAAH! Lol

I didn't have a lot of work to do here! –smiley face- Naruto has a chat with Kyuubi and Sasuke and Naruto finally find the secrets of the blonde's past. Yelling and fluff to come. HOLD ONTO YOUR SEATS!!

Why Him?

"'Listen to me, Kit. You are unconscious. Do you understand that much?'" Kyuubi asked, as if Naruto didn't have the common sense to know he was passed out. He was having a bit of difficulty remembering why he had passed out.

Woke up in Sasuke's arms, told him the good news, saw Sakura...

Oh, yeah, she heard him say that they were a couple. She had yelled at him and called him a monster. Naruto felt his heart clench. He had known it would only be a matter of time before she called him that dreaded word. He sat there, chained to the stonewall he had woken up on. He looked around, but couldn't see the fox.

"Yeah, I know. Where are you? Damn fox." Naruto tried to see through the darkness but nothing came into view but more dark. He sighed and sat down.

He made to lean on the wall but it was no longer made of stone and cold. It wasn't even a wall anymore. Kyuubi was manifested behind him. He tried to stand but two tails came and pulled him back down by the waist. A third tail made it's way around Naruto's shoulders and a wet nose nuzzled his cheek. He tried to see what the fox looked like up close but only saw the dark. The fox let out a chuckle.

"'Now, now, I want to talk. Without distractions.'"Kyuubi sounded strange this close and when they weren't in a life or death fight. Almost like a woman. Naruto found himself musing over the possibility. "'Yes, Kit, I am a female demon.'"Kyuubi shifted so Naruto was almost laying on it's - her stomach.

"But I thought demons didn't have genders." Naruto remembered a talk he had had with Tsunade one time. She had said that demons didn't bred so there was no need for them to have genders.

"'The tails are an exception. Shukaku is a male, the Two-tail is a female along with the four, Five, and Seven. All the others are men.'"Kyuubi spat the word 'men' as if it were a vile poison on her tongue. "Anyway, that is not why you are here. You are involved with the Uchiha brat. This, as you now know, will cause some problems. That bitch, Haruno, she's going to be one of the biggest problems. She wants what you see as your mate. That could be dangerous for her and anyone who might try to back her up."

Naruto was lost. Why would her wanting Sasuke put her in danger? No matter what she did or said, he would never hurt her. She was like a sister to him, even after what she had said and would most likely do. She was his friend despite anyth- wait, did Kyuubi just say mate? Sasuke wasn't his mate! Sure, they loved each other, but mate meant kids and family and acceptance. None of which they had, or would ever have. Kyuubi, Naruto concluded, was nuts.

"'I am not crazy Kit. And you do not really need all of those things to have a mate. All you need is sex drive, and you have that much with all those teenage hormones,'" Naruto made a squeaking noise and tried to stand again, this time he didn't even get off the ground. "'Stop that Kit. Now listen, if she tries to make a move on Sasuke and you get possessive, which will happen, you will unknowingly force me out and lose control of your actions. She will most likely die.'"

Naruto felt his breath hitch. Die? No way. He would never do that. He couldn't. Naruto had never lost control of Kyuubi. He was in the driver's seat, unlike Gaara. But that was a slightly different case. Kyuubi was sealed in him to keep the Tail at bay. Gaara had Shukaku so he could use him; the One-Tail was simply stuck in his subconscious so it didn't run around freely. He hated the fact that the One-Tail was constantly trying to drive the Sand Shinobi crazy. Kyuubi had hardly any influence on Naruto and his actions. So, why all of a sudden did she?

"'Because you and I are growing closer, in spirit and power. You are slowly fusing with me and we are slowly sharing the same conscience. It will never totally happen, mind you, but if my instincts are riled I will come out.'" He shifted uncomfortably against her furry body. "'I know you noticed how easy communicating with me was beginning to get. As for me, I'm starting to share your emotions, or at least experience what they feel like. That is probbly the reason I'm bothering to speak with you.'"

He snorted, "Figures..." He didn't bother to think about it more, that would lead to how she felt about Sasuke and he did not want to think about that.

She spoke again as soon as that thought passed through his mind. Her being so intune with him was getting annoying. "'First, get over it, I'm in your head you'll learn to live. Secondly, that's not how this works. I'll give you a simple example. If you feel sadness I feel queasy, the sadder you are the qeasier I get. Anger leads to pain, happiness leads to comfort. Get it?'"

"So, you want me to be happy to you don't feel pain?"

"'That's pretty much it.'"

"Meanie..."

He could have sworn she rolled her eyes. she then took a deep breathe and got back on track. the track that included her killing Sakura. "'I am, by nature, a possessive creature. She will be meddling in your territory, and in doing so going into my territory. I will take over you and my instincts will take over me.'"

Naruto just sat there. So if Sakura made a move on Sasuke with him around she would be in danger? All people would? Naruto couldn't have this, jealousy was one thing but killing was another completely! This was terrible how could he do anything with Sasuke? His fangirls were bound to show up and do something to upset Naruto.

"Shit." was all he could manage. His voice was high and strained and sounded oddly distant. He let his eyes wander, the cold blank walls, chains, the bars to Kyuubi's cage, and - WAIT! The bars to her cage! He was either inside or she had gotten out!

"'Relax, Kit. You're inside, I can't hurt you here.'" She sounded a bit put out at that lovely fact. "'This is all in your head. Now I'm done for the time being. Please try and be careful. Those things I told you about won't happen for sometime so I hope you make it known that Sasuke is yours and not to be touched by anyone else,'"she said. Her voice was controlled but Narutocould tell she was angry. Maybe she really did care what happened to him. For some reason it made him feel safe and protected. He trusted her, even if she was a demon, it was kind of like having a homicidal mother living in your subconscious. Weird as that was Naruto felt himself smiling, and his heart warmed.

"Naruto, wake up. Please wake up, she didn't mean it. Naruto stop crying." Suddenly a faint voice rang through the empty chambers of Naruto's inner mind. It sounded like Sasuke, and he sounded worried.

"'Looks like their waiting for you. Be nice and wake up. I'll talk with you soon.'" Naruto could tell from her voice she was smiling. A big toothy fox grin, similar to his own, but all to different.

Everything started to blur and fog out. Colors swirled and shapes became abstract. Then everything faded into nothingness.

-- Back To The Others --

"Naruto, please," Sakura didn't know that she could have done that, she hadn't been thinking. What had she done? She had hurt Naruto and made him pass out. She had made him cry in his unconsciousness. She was an awful person, a truly awful, terrible, foul, heartless person. How could she do such a thing to the boy she thought of as a little brother? "I'm sorry. I'm so, so, so sorry! Please wake up!"

She collapsed to her knees and started bawling. Her heart was in so much pain. She couldn't take it. What a horrid person she was. She was just envious of Naruto because he had Sasuke! Now she had gone and hurt him. She was the monster here, not the blonde. Why had he taken that so harshly? they were going to get answers when he was okay.

Sakura heard a noise coming from the direction of her two friends. Her head shot up and she saw Naruto's eyes start to open. He looked kind of out of it but he started to look around. Sasuke propped him up so he could be face to face with him. Sakura felt a pang of something in her chest. Naruto mumbled something she couldn't understand, and by the look on Sasuke's face he didn't either.

"What did you say?" Sasuke shook him lightly.

"Where's Sakura-chan? I have to tell her I'm sorry. I'm sorry." He mumbled the last two words. His eyes kept opening and closing. His head nodded and he let it rest on Sasuke's shoulder.

Sakura leaned in closer. "I'm right here Naruto. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for you to react like that. Please forgive me."

There was no sign that he even knew she was there. Then he nodded and the faintest hint of a grin showed on his face. Almost immediately, he fell asleep again.

Sasuke stood with him in his arms, bridle style, and walked towards the stairs. Sakura looked from him to the door of Naruto's apartment.

"Ano, Sasuke-kun, Where are you going? Naruto's place is right here." She just stood there waiting for a reply. Maybe he was still mad at her. He had yelled at her while Naruto had been out cold. He probably didn't ever want to see her again, she didn't blame him.

"He got kicked out. I don't know why but he's homeless now. I'm taking him back to my place. Come by tomorrow afternoon sometime, he'll want to see you." and with that he walked off.

Sakura stood there, looking like a fish out of water. She had just made her homeless friend pass out and he wanted to apologize to HER! Maybe he had suffered a head injury when he was young. She looked over at the pile of belongings and sighed. She'd come back and help them move it later, but know she needed some friendly advice, and to get that there was only one place to go.

She walked into the Yamanaka flower shop and spotted Ino at the counter. Ino looked up and smiled. It vanished immediately when she saw her friend's expression. She set down the vase she had been wiping and walked over to the pink haired girl. She put a hand on her shoulder and looked her in the eye.

"What's wrong," she asked, concern lacing over her features.

"I'm an awful person." was her only reply. Ino stared, completely confused. What did she mean by that? "Can - can we just talk?" Ino motioned for them to sit. The store was closed and the shades were drawn so they wouldn't be interrupted.

Ino stared at Sakura. The pink-haired girl had tears in her eyes and wet streaks running down her cheeks. Sure, they were rivals but they were friends, too.

"What's wrong Sakura? Who told you that you were a horrible person? I'll kick their asses!" Ino declared. Nobody made Sakura cry, everyone should know that by now. It had been that way ever since they were young; you made Sakura cry, you dealt with Ino. She was going to find who ever did this and bloody them up!

"No one, I did. It was awful." Sakura gave a sniff, "I yelled at Naruto."

Ino was lost. She always yelled at Naruto. Everyday she told him off for one thing or another. So what made this time so different? As if reading her mind Sakura spoke again.

"I said something that made him get so upset he passed out. I don't even know what I said that could do that to him. And the worst part is, he just got kicked out of his house today." Ino watched as new tears formed and began to fall. She put her hand up and wiped away the tears only to have more replace them instantly.

"It's alright. Does he have somewhere to stay?" the other girl gave a nod. "Good, now why did you yell at him?"

Sakura's eyes widened then narrowed in the time span of one second. Ino was worried he had made a move on her that was too far, but then she would have just beaten him to a pulp. Naruto couldn't have done anything that bad, he wasn't that stupid.

Sakura took a deep breath, like she was trying to calm herself. "I saw him sleeping in the hall." Ino was confused, but before she could speak the Konoichi continued. "He was sleeping in Sasuke-kun's arms."

Silence.

Ino stared at the girl opposite her. Did she just say what Ino thought she just heard? Ino didn't say a thing for a long time. She just stared.

--

Sasuke opened the door to his house and walked to his room. He put Naruto down on the bed and covered him with blankets. He got himself into his pajamas and got in to bed with Naruto. Sasuke held him tightly to his chest. What ever had been so terrible about what Sakura said was not going to come into this house. Naruto was safe here. He would make sure of that.

"Mmm, Sasu-chan. Where am I?" he mumbled. He was still kind of out of it.

"My house." Sasuke gave him a small squeeze.

"Sasuke, can I ask you something," he sounded so weak, and worried.

"Of course, Naruto," he held him close and waited for the question. It took a few seconds but the blonde finally spoke.

"Do you love me? No matter what?" Sasuke laid there. What had Naruto just said? Of course he loved the boy, and he always would. There was no need for a question like that.

Naruto made a whimpering sound. Sasuke knew he had to answer. "Yes, now and forever. I will love you, always and all ways. No matter what you do or say. You're stuck with me." A smile tugged at Naruto lips and he slid into a peaceful sleep. He would tell Sasuke tomorrow. He would tell him everything.

-- Next morning --

It was about ten when Naruto shot bolt up and looked around. He had a feeling that he was missing something, something important. He looked around the room, it was Sasuke's, and then he remembered last night. He needed to talk to Sasuke. And Sakura. She had to understand that he hadn't meant to hurt her. She had to know that.

Naruto stood and got into a clean pair of clothes, Sasuke's boxers, a pair of his pants that had been left here a while ago, and a black tee-shirt. After he was all dressed he heard something that made him shake to the core.

"Where is he Sasuke-kun? We need to talk to him." it was a girl talking, and she sounded mad.

Sasuke could be heard trying to keep who ever it was at bey; he wasn't doing a very good job. Naruto ran into the room and tried to figure out what to do. Another voice spoke and Naruto instantly knew that it was Sakura, she had said Ino's name. So, they were both here. Shit!

Naruto shook his head, he needed to get his ass down there and take it like and man! Like a Shinobi! But those girls hit, hard - no! He had to stand by Sasuke not matter what! - but Sakura was going to kill him - she had seemed so upset last night - Ino was still there. Naruto gave his head another firm shake. He stood up and walked right down the stairs, making just enough noise to be noticed.

5akura and Ino looked over at him, eyes narrowed and fists clenched. Sasuke looked up at him in what seemed to be shock. He walked right passed the two women in front of him and up the last three steps between him and the blonde.

"Naruto, you shouldn't be up! After what happened last night." Naruto shook his head and smiled.

"No worries, I'm fine!" his smile faltered as he looked at the other two in the room. They walked towards him. They were completely silent, that scared him. When girls were loud the worst was over, when they were quiet they were planning a suitable torture, he really wished they go back to yelling.

"Naruto," Sakura finally said, "you knew how we felt about Sasuke-kun and yet you still stole him. Why?" her eyes were cold and dangerous, they were almost slits they way she glared at him.

"I'm sorry, I have feelings him, that's all." Naruto said. He looked her straight in the eye the whole time he spoke.

"That's your reason? That is no reason to hurt Sakura and me!" said the blonde. She walked up to Naruto who had at some point stepped passed Sasuke. "You're a really mean selfish person Naruto!"

Naruto, for the first time, glared back at her. How dare she talk about HIM being selfish! Sasuke loved him too, and he was taking all the heat for this. Not that he really cared. They should just be happy he finally found someone, they were the selfish ones.

Of course, Naruto didn't say anything, his survival instincts were better than that.

"You two should go now, we'll see you around." Sasuke said, obviously having had enough of standing there and watching them harp and tear at Naruto. They looked at him with hurt puppy eyes, what ever they were trying didn't work because after a second they sighed and left. Sasuke turned to Naruto, "Are you feeling okay? You still look a little pale."

Naruto grinned, it wasn't his usual happy fox grin but it was a real smile all the same. Sasuke's lips curled into a half smile. He hugged the younger boy and whispered in his ear, "You said you had good news from Tsunade-sama?"

Before he knew what was going on he was thrust back, caught, pulled upstairs, pushed into his room, fell on his bed, and was pounced on by Naruto.

"All I need is proof of who my parents are! And you have the whole answer. the Uchiha's hold all birth records all the way back from when I was born! Where ever that stuff is is where we'll find who's family I belong to!" Sasuke stared at his boyfriend. Tsunade knew about his mother's records? They were a secret, kind of. He guessed when you thought about it they weren't really all that secret. But now he could help Naruto find a house.

He tried to remember where his mom had kept all those old scrolls. She had put them out of the reach of little hands as she had once said. Meaning himself, and possible his older brother. He thought of all the out of reach places they could neatly hold hundreds of scrolls while keeping them away from kids. Somewhere he hadn't been in a while.

The basement, of course! He hadn't been down there in years, no one had. He had always avoided the place because of a scary story his father had told him once. There was no doubt the scrolls were there.

Sasuke led Naruto in to the room that had once belonged to his parents; he hadn't been in there since the murder. As he walked in he felt his heart start to cry, he could hear his younger self crying over the dead bodies of his family. A tear fond its way from his eye. Naruto noticed and quickly wiped it away. He took Sasuke's hand in his and gave it a soft squeeze. Sasuke looked over at him and nodded. He had to do this, and Naruto would be there with every step. They walked down towards the bottom of a case of stairs that Naruto was surprised were under the house.

They reached the wall that was covered in scrolls, names of clans hanging from them on small tags. Every scroll from top to bottom was covered in dust an inch thick.

"Wow! Where did all these come from?" the fox-boy wondered out loud.

"It was a hobby of my mom's. She started with just our family and those of friends; due to requests and bragging from the rest of the clan it soon spread throughout the village." Sasuke said, feeling his heartache slightly. He walked over to the section with the clans whose name began with "U". Utsuka, Uzuka, Uzumaki. Both boys stared at the fact that it was there. Naruto bound up and grabbed it. He was about to open it and read out his unknown past when a thought hit him, hard. Sasuke should know who - and what - he was helping and falling in love with.

"Um, Sasuke, could we," he paused. He had to do this, now! "Could we go upstairs, I have something to tell you before we open this."

Sasuke looked at his love. Naruto looked sad, almost hesitant. Sasuke nodded and walked back to the living room with Naruto silent at his side. This is not what he expected. Naruto was supposed to rip open the scroll, uncaring of how old and important it was and scream out the name of his family. Not walk quietly upstairs with Sasuke to tell him something. This was wrong, what had happened to his little ball of sunshine?

"Sasuke." he said as they sat down on the up right futon. "Would you love me no matter what?"

This was some serious deja vu. This was the question he had been asked last night. So he gave the same answer. "Of course. Why are you asking me this? Naruto, what's going on?" he was really getting worried.

All the younger boy did was sigh. "What I have to tell you is something not even I knew for most of my life. Please, don't hate me."

"Never. Sasuke made to hug him but Naruto put up his hand. He was really serious, it looked so out of character.

"The Demon, Kyuubi, who was defeated by the Fourth Hokage," he paused. He prayed that Sasuke was telling the truth. "It was sealed inside a new born baby. That baby was me. The fox that destroyed out village lives in my body."

Sasuke could only stare in shock.

TBC…

A/N: Well, there you go! How will Sasuke take this shocking news? Will he hate Naruto like the rest of the village? Will he bar Naruto from looking at the scroll and find out his his parents are? You'll see later!
