Ali: Alright, this is where it gets serious... alright, I lie, I'm never serious!

Pein: Got that right.

ALi: You got a problem?! Because I can and will get someone else to appear on this.

Pein: *rolls eyes* I'm the only one available to do it.

Ali: And there goes my tough girl act. Thanks.

Pein: Hm. Say the disclaimer, I've got things to do.

Ali: *eyebrows shoot up* What? I wanna join.

Pein: If you say the disclaimer, then maybe.

ALi: I won't say the disclaimer if it's a maybe.

Pein: Fine.

Ali: I own nothing.

Naruto walked towards the training grounds, curious as to how his bond with the Kyuubi worked. Sure, it's been about a month, but he never had the time to test it until now. He looked around and breathed. He decided to see if the bond enhanced the Rasengan. He made a clone and watched as his chakra made a small spiraling ball of energy. It was purple instead of the usual blue and it was larger than usual by a good half an inch. He paused in thought before he felt massive pain in his head, the familiar feeling of the Kyuubi taking over, but not in the way he'd come to know, but the way the fox used to when he gained the forth tail. The fox's dark laugh filled his mind and Naruto immediately cut off the chakra flow and regained control, his breathing heavy and sweat beading on his forehead.

Naruto immediately cut off his thoughts from the Kyuubi and his eyes gradually turned blue, the way they used to be. A trick he learned when he wanted to keep things private, but it didn't stay, it always crumbled when he was done and he couldn't keep it more than a few minutes. Naruto's body shook and he fell to the sitting position.

How can I trust the Nine-Tails? It's a demon, sure he helped me with Shadow, but... has anything really change? He was just trying to keep me alive otherwise he would die. He let down the mind barrier after this though and focused on the purple Rasengan in his mind, his eyes turning back to the mixture of red, blue, and purple.

So close, the fox mutter under his breath and then Naruto felt the fox's shock that Naruto put the barrier down so soon.

The blond felt suspicion arise in him. The fox was trying to take over. The Jinchuriki shoved the thought away, afraid the fox would pick up on it. Both had an awkward silence and then Naruto saw Lee. Relieved to take his mind off of what happened he walked over to his bushy eyebrowed friend.

"Hey Bushy Brows!" Naruto called.

"Naruto! It is good to see you, would you like to train?"

Naruto's mind flashed to the Rasengan for a second before he grinned. "Sure, I need to work on taijutsu anyway."

"That is great! Let us begin!"

Naruto hesitated, seeing as they were in the middle of the village and not in a training area. "Are you sure you want to do that here? There are people around that could get hurt."

"You are right, let's go someplace else."

Naruto followed Lee. This would be an interesting sparing match.

Let's just say that no one won. Lee was in pain and Naruto was in pain, but neither would admit that the other won. Naruto dragged himself up the steps and unlocked his door. He glanced around before he entered and collapsed on the bed. He heard whispers in his mind that wasn't the Nine-Tail's. Naruto closed his eyes and entered his mind no problem. Naruto's blue eyes darted around, looking for the source of the whispering. The fox's eyes looked around as well, a deep growl bubbling in his throat.

"Someone's in here."

"I'm gonna take a look around."

"Take a bit of my chakra."

Naruto was confused by this until he saw a wolf sized mini Kyuubi run out from the cage. Naruto sent a grateful look towards the fox, but then it could be a trap for all he knew. He would just have to keep his eye on the demon for a little bit. Naruto saw a shadow clicker in a corner and turned to look at it directly to see nothing. He walked cautiously through his mind and when he found nothing he went back to the Kyuubi.

"There was nothing there."

"Look again, you can never be too sure," THe Kyuubi growled, his eyes behind him.

Naruto felt chills run up and down his spine. He walked out and about and found the memory of Jiraiya washing him. He wanted to hit his Hokage, but he remembered that she was a Legendary Sannin and Hokage, and could probably beat him with ease. He breathed deeply and his multicolored eyes scanned the darkness, but there was nothing. He suddenly felt a vicious tug on his shirt and whirled around to see the wolf sized Kyuubi's teeth in his jacket and he tugged so hard Naruto fell on his butt. He looked around and still saw nothing and he exited his mind, waking up in a daze. He blocked his thoughts immedaitely.

How could I have been so stupid as to trust a demon?! I should've known better, the blond Jinchuriki thought viciously to himself. He just wants to take over my body, like before.

He shoved the thoughts away as the demon fought to contact him. "What?"

Somethings in here, something familiar. You have to stay out of your mind for a little while.

Why? So you can take over my body? Naruto thought bitterly.

He felt the fox flinch slightly. What? Is that what you think this is about? Control?

Naruto could practically hear the hurt in the fox's voice. Don't play coy with me. You've been trying to take control of my body ever since I first tapped into your power at the Land of Waves.

But... Naruto, this is different! I've actually... grown to think of you more than just my cage...

The fox never really called him Naruto, usually 'Kit' or 'Pup' and that was it. "So just because you call me Naruto you think you can get away with it?!"

I'm serious there's something in here! This isn't about control,the fox promised.

Naruto shook his head roughly. "How can I break this... bond?"

You die, it can't be broken after it's made. This made Naruto growl in frustration. I'm sorry, I've got no say in how this works.

Naruto punched his pillow with a yell. "Just... Gah!"

Fine, I'll be quiet.

"Thank you."

With that Naruto fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Kyuubi:

The great demon fox sulked in his cage, all nine tails lashing in frustration. Why didn't the Jinchuriki believe him? Albeit he tried to gain control in the past, but after Shadow things were different. He thought they could be... friends. His red ears flattened to his red head and he growled quietly. It was all Shadow's fault. Naruto hadn't fully healed from that time mentally. He still had suspicion and instead of pointing it at everyone else it was pointed at the Kyuubi himself.

Shadow, that's what this presence is... I have to tell... That's right. The demon had promised that he would stay quiet. The fox made a small fox and had it creep around, searching Naruto's mind. He suddenly saw a shadow and tackled it.

"You!" he cried.

The Shadow wrestled with the fox. The fox tried biting his neck and he was in turn stabbed in the side with a kunai. THe fox grunted and continued to attack, hoping to somehow gain an advantage somehow, but in the end he had to retreat. The Nine-Tailed Fox was ashamed as he made his way back to the cage. He just needed to get rid of the threat, he would search again later. And he would succeed the next time.

ALi: I got done with it!

Pein: I can't believe you did that! I knew I shouldn've brought you.

Ali: So I blew up the kitchen, sew me!

Pein: You told me to, expect to hear form my lawyer in a week.

Ali: No no no no no! I'll pay for the damages!

Pein: Alright. While I beat Ali to a pulp please review *pulls out baseball bat*

Ali: Help me! *runs away*
