Anon: Well firstly I wish you had an account so I could give you direct feedback. However, his character is based off Naruto. He is not Naruto himself. However his name change will be revealed in good time. For now there hasn't been any need to though I do understand your annoyance and/or curiosity.

A/N: Well sorry I left you guys hanging for a week or so. Hope Christmas was eventful. And well happy New Year! Also yesterday was kind of emotional for me. Otherwise I probably would have updated then. Back to the story

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

~Fu~

As the couple ran towards the ramen shop then bumped into an unlikely person. Shadows grin that he had on his face from a joke Fuu had said immediately evaporated and he quickly took up a defensive stance. They had run into a boy walking away from the ramen shop deep in thought.

"Are you Shadow: the prodigy?"

"Whose asking."

"From one prodigy to the next, its best you answer my question before I get angry." The boy stated smiling a wicked smile.

"Wait. You aren't, you can't be!" Shadow said his eyes darkening.

"Yeah I am. I'm picking a fight with you so let's go NOW!" the boy flung himself at Shadow.

Fuck I can't move what the hell! Fuu thought as her muscles tensed. Shadow didn't turn around but she knew from his stance that he was fighting with his eyes closed. What is he thinking?! This guy is some prodigy he shouldn't fight with his eyes shut he might get hurt!

"Hn" Shadow said right before the boy hit him. Shadow dodged slightly just enough for it to miss him and Shadow opened his eyes. "Stop fucking around. Better prove you're really a prodigy."

"Fine. Byakugan!" The boy said quickly jumping away. Fuu looked around and realized there was a crowd gathering. Not just the ninja's in the village but of the civilians as well.

"Hn. How good of you. At least you feel I'm worthy of the Byakugan. Hyuuga." Shadow says putting distaste into his tone. "Fuu, please jump out and watch. This is going to get ugly. Fast."

"Hm ugly for you boy." The Hyuuga prodigy said with his crude smile.

"Right" Fuu quickly jumps to watch on a nearby building ready to jump in if Shadow got hurt. He still hasn't seen my full abilities yet. I need to protect him even if it means revealing everything.

~Shadow~

He quickly flowed minimal chakra into his eyes allowing for the three tomoe Sharigan to activate. He looked at his opponent with the utmost watchfulness. This was the Prodigy of last year's class: Neji Hyuuga.

"Is that the best you got? Well at least it's better than your bitchy brother can muster. Sasuke can't even muster THAT!" With that the now identified Neji ran towards Shadow kunai's in each hand. Childs play. He quickly countered with a kunai of his own. Neji flipped backward landing perfectly 15 feet from him. "You're within range." Neji said with a completely devious smile. Fuck and I'm trying to go to dinner what the hell is wrong with this village sometimes. Shadow thought as he shook his head for a brief moment which Neji took as lowering his guard. Neji flipped his palms into view and raised one above his head. "8 trigrams.. 64 palm!" He then went towards Shadow with speed the civilians couldn't follow. The ninja had an easier time following it but it was still quite fast. Just as Neji reached Shadow he jumped backwards dodging Neji's attack. "What?!"

"Surprised? You should expect that a prodigy can follow your gentle fist. Now get ready for my move." Shadow putting his kunai away on his right side pouch and took a kunai out from his left pouch. "Shall we go?" Shadow ran towards Neji at a relatively slow speed for him he knew that Neji was good but he figured that this fight wouldn't require him to remove his weights.

"Kunai attacks won't aid you against me and my gentle fist." Neji said preparing to counter.

"That's what you think." Shadow said letting the words hang in the air as he picked up his speed hitting Neji in the stomach hard so he flew back a good 10 feet.

~Fu~

So he's a Hyuuga with the Byakugan. Still doesn't seem to be providing much of a challenge to Shadow; so much for a prodigy. The fight continued below she watched intently as Neji got up. She sat down and began listening intently.

"What was that burst of speed? I saw no change is your use of chakra."

"That's because there was none." She saw Neji's eyes pulse at the realization. Hn that was nothing he's still going easy on you Neji. If only you knew.

"Well then I guess I'll step up my game." With that phrase still in the air he was behind Shadow. Shadow calmly stabbed the kunai between Neji's fingers. "What? You were able to predict that?!" Neji shouted as Shadow flipped Neji over. Neji swiped his leg at Shadows which Shadow nimbly dodged. Shadow let go of Neji's arm.

"You aren't worth the fight."

"Gentle fist art! 2 Palm! 4 Palm! 16 Palm! 32 Palm 64 Palm!" Neji had disappeared in front of Shadow as Shadow's chakra points were hit. Shadow fell over and groaned. "Hm, prodigy you may be but you still have to see through decepti…UGH!" Neji shouted as his body started to shake.
Stupid idiot, getting hit by the kunai was the downfall of you. It's poisoned quite a deadly poison at that.

~Shadow~

"What the hell is happening to me!"Cried in pain as he fell over. Shadow got up. "What how?"

"Being a Jinchuuriki has its perks mother fucker." He looked up at Fuu and he smiled at her. "C'mon down m'lady we have a dinner to attend."

He saw her surprise at the name he called her and he released the flow of chakra from his eyes. "Oh yeah Neji: I suppose I owe you this." He tosses the antidote at Neji. He put out his arm for Fuu and they walked away to Ichiraku's. They met two people they did NOT want to see there. And a third who was a mildly pleasant surprise, the first two were Sakura and Sasuke. The other one was Kakashi.

"Hi Kakashi/Kakashi-sensei." The young couple said.

"Hi you two, and Fu you can call me Kakashi that's alright."

"Sure Kakashi." She said with an innocent smile.

"Dobe." Sasuke said as Shadow walked in.

"Hm, last I checked I wasn't dead last smart ass. That was her." Pointing at Sakura.

"Fair. Well I'm just getting out of here." Sasuke said before abandoning his finished Ramen bowl. Sakura looked forlornly from Shadow to Sasuke. Shadow chuckled she was so clueless. Then she saw Fu.

"Hey Skank get away from my boyfriend!"

"Who him?" Fu gestures at Shadow "He's my boyfriend and he spends so much time training he doesn't have time for you. On top of that how do you know he's your boyfriend."

"I just do. He doesn't know it now but he will. Fight me for his love." Sakura said provoking a fight. A loud sigh could be heard from Shadow.

"Order first m'lady then duke it out with the dobe."

"Fine. I want the special."

"Coming right up!" Ayame said. "And for you Shadow?"

"The usual."

"Kay" She says with a cutesy smile. She got to cooking while the two girls went out to fight. Murmuring was going on outside.

"Didn't those two already fight someone tonight? Why doesn't that girl mind her own business?" Shadow was leaning against Ichiraku's place he opened an eye giving them a menacing glare.

"Alright you ready to fight?" Fu asked looking at the other girl.

"You bet your ass I am you skank!" Sakura said running at Fu which was easily dodged by Fu.

"Going to have to do better than that." Fu said dodging punches from Sakura. The punches didn't even look like they'd do much damage. "God I'd hate to be on your squad you're so flimsy and weak you can't do anything." Fuu quickly changed tactics and jumped into Sakura knocking her backwards and Fu landed on her with a Kunai to her throat. "Well I win. He's mine right Shadow?"

"Mmm right you are. Now let's go eat our ramen should be ready." He waited for her with his hand outstretched she took it and they reentered the shop where there ramen was waiting. They carefully ate their ramen then proceeded to walk home on a less crowded pathway.

"Hey Shadow?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you some questions?"

"Sure" he smiled. I'm ready to tell her if she asks.

"The day we met you almost introduced yourself as someone else. Why?"

"Because Shadow is just a cover name I'm forced to use so people don't hate me for being my father's child and for being the Kyuubi host.

"That's Kurama BOY!" A voice growled inside him.

"Excuse me 'Kurama' anyways yeah; I don't really like using it, makes me seem like I'm a dark a mysterious figure huh."

"It does. What's your real name then?"

"I can't say in public." He said frowning.

"Well that's fine. Did you know I'm not from this village and I only moved here shortly before I met you?"

"Really? No that's news to me."

"Yeah well that's the truth.I got moved here as a treaty piece between the hidden waterfall and the hidden leaf. I was so bitter until I found you."

"Well, I'm glad you're okay. You're with me now." He said putting a smile back on his face.

"Yeah, I am. Well last question okay?"

"Yeah sure what is it?"

"Why did you take me in that day?"

"I don't know it just felt right. It felt like it was meant to be."

"Oh, alright." She said looking down smiling quietly.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing just that's so sweet of you to say."

"Oh well.. Thank you." He said his grin fading to slight smile. As they reached their complex he spoke again. "I can tell you my name now if you'd like."

"I would like that."

"I was until I was around five or six known as: Uzumaki Naruto. I had to have it changed to protect me. It was decreed by the Sandaime Hokage."

"Alright thank you babe. One last question. If I may."

"You may. You can ask me as many questions as you'd like."

"Why do you own a complex like this when you're thirteen."

"It's…complicated lets go inside." He opens up the front gate to the complex and walks her to main house before answering her question. "Because of who my father was I own this complex and another smaller complex in the city. My father's complex the one we are in now is the Namikaze Complex, and the other smaller one is the Uzumaki Complex."

"Mmm alright, thank you." She said before walking inside the main house and leaving Shadow to his own thought. When he arrived upstairs she was already laying down with the light on dim. He assumed she was asleep he changed into something a little more comfortable than his regular clothes. Sweats and t-shirt for him. He got into bed leaned over Fuu and turned off the light silently then laid back down and closed his eyes but felt something fidget beside him. He opened his eyes to see Fu leaning over him.

"I think you deserve this." She says in a soft yet very sexy voice. She slowly lets her lips touch his. He's momentarily taken aback by this before he returns the kiss softly. She begins to deepen the kiss. He puts his hands on her waist and slowly guides her next to him and returns the deep kiss. She puts her arms around his neck letting her hand rest against the back of his head. The kiss slowly becomes more passionate.

~Fu~
She feels his grip tighten around her waist as the kiss lingers. They break apart only for the lack of oxygen. They both began panting and look into each other's eyes and see the love the other feels for them.

"I'm so happy to have you in my life ya know." He says quietly with a slight smirk on his face.

"I know, did you know that you're the best thing ever to happen to me?" She asked returning the smile with a full grin revealing her white teeth.

"Well regardless of whether or not I did. I do know." He said before kissing her nose. "Now we should sleep before we have more training tomorrow."

~Shadow ~

"Mm I suppose we should." She said pulling herself close to him. He embraced her again and held her by her waist never wanting to let go. She curled up against his chest and they fell asleep like that.

A/N: Okay well that certainly was an eventful night. Also anon you're welcome. There's you reason for the name change. At least partially I have personal reasons I'll disclose at the end. Also I hope you guys enjoyed the kiss I had a tough time doing it. Not because I couldn't imagine it but because I had a fucking evil Kushina figure flying above Shadow with black sharp teeth and evil black eyes with yellow pupils in my head. Yeah… anyways R&R as always and I'll catch you on the flipside.
Seth out.
