Chapter 2: Enter: Kyuubi no Kitsune!
I first came into existence during the waning days of the Sage of the Six Paths' Life. To prevent the resurgence of the Ten-Tailed Beast, the Sage split up its chakra into nine separate, monstrous constructs of living chakra. This is how me and my brethren, the Tailed Beasts came into being.
I am perceived as a monster. A beast that one should avoid at all costs, a beast that cause's horrible disasters. Yet, there were some that hunted beasts like me for our power. This and many other reasons was why I had wandered most of my existence alone, no one to share the hardships with; wishing for a companion that I would never meet. Even though I was viewed as a monster, I wasn't entirely heartless. I was just like any person, wishing and hoping to have a mate and children. But it was pointless wishing for such things, seeing as no one was suitable, there were always flaws. I had given up hope on finding that special person to share the rest of eternity with.
That is, until I was sealed inside her.
The alleyway is dark and narrow enough to be almost claustrophobic. It smells of rotten food and stale alcohol. The man is of average build but taller than her smaller than average frame by a lot. His arm goes around her quick and she's pulled into the alley without any notice. Of course no one notices, no one cares about her what would her disappearing matter. Her mouth is covered before she can scream out to bring any attention to what's happening.
The hand clamps down so hard it feels like she's suffocating; she kicks and scratches to no avail as she is dragged further into that small alleyway. She feels nauseous as a big hand with rough callouses slips under her shirt and squeezes at her chest. She wants to vomit but she doesn't. She struggles even more, wanting to get away as far as possible. She takes satisfaction out of kicking him in his shin, hard enough for him to curse out in pain.
But then she feels her head make contact with the wall and her earlier victory is washed away by pain and sudden vertigo. She doesn't think she'll be able to make it out unscathed as she's thrown to the ground roughly and the faint sound of a zipper being undone fills her ringing ears. She doesn't want to lose consciousness but darkness begins to fill the edges of her vision.
Her attacker stalks closer and as she begins to black out her last thought is, 'Somebody, save me."
A soft, lilting voice answers her from a dark corner of the room, "I'll always save you."
She awakens abruptly; jerking up from her prone position and looking everywhere for whoever just spoke. Her head seems to be spinning and she collapses back down on to the mattress. 'Mattress? Where am I?' Looking around the room she quickly notices something, 'I'm back at my apartment. But how did I get back here?'
Placing a small hand on the side of her head, she speaks softly, being careful of the pounding in her head. "Who's there?"
"Good, you're finally up. I was worried you wouldn't wake." Even though the voice sounded cheerful, there seem to be an edge underlying it. Following where the voice was coming from she immediately spotted the silhouette of what seem to be...'A fox?' Becoming even more curious as to who, or what, was in her room, she repeated her question from earlier asking more forcefully. "Who are you?"
"Aw, how could you not recognize me, your own friend? That hurts."
"I...don't have any friends, and if I did I'm sure I would remember." Even though it hurt to say it out loud, it was true, she didn't have any friends. But she still wasn't going to give up hope on finding a friend. She hoped to be able to make friends once she entered the Academy. That is, if she even makes it to her ninth birthday.
"Well, I am more than just your friend Naru." With that said the stranger stepped out of the shadows and into the light filtering in through her bedroom showing herself to Naru.
Standing in the center of her room was a girl that looked about her age. Even though she was lying down she could tell right away the girl was taller than her. Her hair was long, reaching down to her calves and was a beautiful shade of carmine, along with two orange fox ears atop her head. Her wide eyes had slit pupils that sat in dark red irises. She had a heart shaped face with whisker-like marks on each cheek like Naru's and just above her derrière were nine swishing tails.
'Wait a minute, fox ears and nine tails? That can't be possible. The only creature that would have that many tails would be the-'
"Nine-Tailed Fox!" Her eyes had gone wide. Instead of being terrified like any person would be, she slowly got out of bed and walked towards the tailed beast. Ignoring the slight pains emitting from her head and the confused look sent her way, she stopped in front of the Kyuubi and stood up as tall as she could on her toes, reaching out she grabbed hold of two orange fox ears kneading them and enjoying how soft they were. "Cute."
Kyuubi was so distracted that she didn't feel the small hands take hold of her ears. Instead, she was lost in thought, thinking back on the entire day. She could barely suppress the growl that wanted to rumble out of her chest. 'I see that bastard again and I'll definitely kill him for sure.' As she thought back on the events from earlier she couldn't help the anger that began to swirl through her.
_Flashback_
~Deep inside Naru's subconscious~
Behind bars of steel sat a giant fox. It was not just any fox but that of legend and disaster the great Kyuubi no Kitsune. It stayed there inside little Naruto, day in and day out. No matter what happened it would remain there unless it could find a way out. All it could do was see things through Naru's eyes.
'My poor Naru, having to deal with these disgusting humans. Now she has to try and beg them for damn scraps!'
"What do you think you are doing coming in here?"
"Had what? I don't have anything for the likes of you."
"Keep out of my restaurant, you demon! I don't care if you're near death, I don't feed evil filth. Now get out!"
'I can't believe this bitch! If I ever get out of here I'll kill her and burn this whole damn village to the ground. Fuck!'
Even though she had been sealed within Naru since the kit was born, she knew that she would never be able to get use to the treatment her little Naru went through on a daily basis. She may have attacked the Leaf Village five years ago and killed many, but she had done so against her own will. She had fought as hard as she could trying to relinquish the ninja that had taken control of her. But these people. No, these bastards attacked a helpless child each and every day just because she was sealed inside of her and they did so without any hesitation.
Following her imprisonment, she had wallowed in self-pity and had hated Naru with a vengeance. Blinded by her rage, she had only seen Naru as a vessel that was keeping her locked away from much needed freedom. But as she got over her self-pity and hatred of the child she had turned that deep loathing towards the villagers.
But since she was trapped inside of a cage with no way out, she had to make do with helping her kit in little ways. When her kit was injured she'd help her heal faster, when her kit was cold at night and her blanket just wasn't helping she'd found a way to bring her little mate warmth. Yes, it may seem impossible but that's what Naru had become to her.
She hadn't thought of Naru as her mate at first. At first she had thought of the kid as a person who felt the same loneliness she had. But then, over time, her feelings had changed, from that of a protective mother to that of a protective lover. Eventually she had begun to notice that when she looked at Naru she saw the traits that she had for so long looked for in a mate.
She was kind and did not think to blame others for how they treated her. She was brave and even when she was scared tried hard to overcome it. She was also incredibly adorable and innocent.
So her wish of getting out of this wretched cage had turned to a wish of being able to make Naru her mate. 'Then I'll be able to do all the naughty things I've imagined doing with my little Naru.'
She was brought from her reverie when distressful thoughts made there way to her.
'No, this can't be happening!'
'What's happening?'
She felt her rage boil over as Naru's attacker began to drag her into a dark alley and touch her inappropriately. 'What is this bastard trying to pull? I'll castrate him!' She felt proud as Naru struggled and tried to fight off whoever was dumb enough to fuck with her. But then he smashed her kit into the wall and thrown to the ground. Once she heard the sound of a zipper she began to lose it, clawing her confinement and ramming into the bars, wanting a way out.
'Damn it, I feel so damn useless!' While she had been lost in her thoughts her mate had been knocked unconscious by some prick. 'That bitch made her pass out!' Thinking quickly, she came to a decision on what to do. 'While she's out cold, my will should be stronger than hers. I should be able to rip the seal off. I should change to my true form before I do this. Don't want to attract too much attention.'
Changing to her true form she hurried over to the seal, reaching out with a steady hand, she took hold of one corner of the seal. "Okay, here goes nothing." With a determined look in her eyes, she began to pull as hard as she could on the seal; nothing happened. "Damn it! I need to hurry and get out!" 'Maybe, if I think about it hard enough I can rip the seal. 'With saving Naru in the forefront of her mind she began to pull on the seal again, using all the force she could find.
Rip!
"Yes! Here I come, my little Naru!"
~Alleyway in Konoha~
The attacker had just Naru onto the ground, unzipped his pants and was getting ready to tear off her shorts when he was suddenly thrown back against the wall of the alley. "What the hell?" Disgruntled, the man turned around and found something completely unexpected.
Standing in front of the attacker was a girl, but not just any ordinary girl. This girl was surrounded by a frightening amount of red chakra. The chakra began to take the shape of a fox, splitting into nine tails of chakra, lashing around her. Full of terror he tried to run and scream to all that the Nine-Tailed Fox was back when he was tackled to the ground. "Please! Please don't hurt me!" This angered Kyuubi even more.
"You have the balls to beg for mercy when you were just going to rape this defenseless little girl? Ah, that gives me an idea. Maybe if you didn't have any balls, you'd learn your lesson."
Reaching down with a tail of chakra, she grabbed his balls and slowly pulled, letting him feel the pain. He screamed into the night as she finally ripped them completely off and threw them behind her. She was just about to do more to the bastard when she heard a groan from behind, reminding her why she was in that alleyway in the first place. "You're lucky this time, if not for this girl you would have lost more than your balls. You better warn all your friends; they come near her and I'll do the same thing I did to you. You got that?" Seeing him nod his head hurriedly while trying to keep from crying in pain she said, "Good, now get the fuck out of my sight! Before I finish what I started."
Watching to make sure he left she turned her attention back to her Naru who was passed out on the ground. Bending down, she quickly checked her over to ensure she was alright. After finding nothing else wrong, except the wound on the side of her head, she gently lifted Naru into her arms. She could feel a tear slip down her cheek when she heard her kit whimper in fear. "It's okay. No one will ever hurt you again as long as I'm around. I fucking promise you that."
