Naruto stayed awake that night, watching out the window for anything. He was nearly asleep when he heard a crash that sounded like one of the milk jugs falling. He scurried to the back door in the kitchen, it was one of those screen doors that opened with a little push lever. He jumped onto one of the chairs, then the table, then finally the counter. He went to the door and jumped at the handle, successfully pushing it down and opening the door.

He, being a little smart, shoved a rock in the door to keep it from closing. He quietly snuck over to the barn and peeked his head in the cracked door. He saw a milk jug knocked over with the milk spilled everywhere. He slowly went in cautiously, and observed the scene.

Suddenly something attacked him, scratching up his body and biting at every spot the attacker could get at. Naruto tried to fight back, but the attacker pinned him down by the back of his neck with a low growl.

The fox whimpered and relaxed his body as a sign of giving up. Oh god, Naruto thought, I'm going to be food, I won't be able to see my friends ever again or Tsunade! At the thought, tears sprouted into his eyes. The lock on his neck was released and he turned his head slightly to look at the one who attacked him. It was a raccoon, large and soaked in what Naruto would guess as milk. The raccoon glared down at him, it's sharp teeth showing.

The raccoon backed away a bit, letting Naruto scurry away in fear. His mind was full of thoughts and he wasn't exactly thinking straight, making him back away right into a corner of the barn. The attacker stalked closer with a snarl, then it began to go into its humanoid form. He had crimson hair, a fairly muscular body, a scar in the shape of the "love" kanji on the left side of his forehead, the ears and tail of a raccoon, and if Naruto looked down more...the man was...very well endowed.

The man scowled at the little fox then bent over and picked it up by the scruff of its neck.

"Well, turn into your humanoid form before I feed you to the wolves!" The redhead growled, Naruto took notice on how pleasurably deep and coarse his voice was. Naruto whimpered again then wiggled out of the man's grasp. When he fell to the ground he quickly changed into his second form. A thin, petite fourteen year old body, with long, bright blonde hair, whiskered cheeks, beautiful cerulean eyes, and his fox tail and ears.

Naruto, after transforming, quickly covered his private areas with his hands.

"You aren't going to kill me...are you?" Naruto asked weakly, his ears flat and his head slightly lowered. The raccoon walked over to him, making the fox tremble.

"Leave before I do kill you." Naruto didn't need to be told twice, he bolted toward the barn door, but stopped and looked back before he left, earning him a growl from the raccoon.

"P-please refrain from destroying my owner's yard, a-and the neighbor's t-too. Please, that's all I ask before I go." The fox spoke softly. The raccoon's eyes narrowed, and he gave some sort of grunt which Naruto took as a "fine".

He gave the redhead a little smile, then ran off to his home, leaving the raccoon to stare at where the fox was standing. His lips twitched, and he went back to stealing food from the farm animals.


Review please! Woohoo we meet the night time thief!
