You guys are awesome, leaving comments and reviews like you do. I really appreciate it. And I'm extremely sorry for not posting as soon as I usually do.

All right, earlier I said that when the Kyuubi talked, it would be in parenthesis. Now, every demon/monster's speech will be in parenthesis.

IMPORTANT: I've been getting a few PM's and some reviews about my story. I just want you all to know, I don't own any of the two series. Another thing, I know that I'm not following the storyline, that should have been obvious. And for all those Yandere lovers, I'm so sorry. I believe in Naruto and Yuno to be a perfect pair, so this Yuno will be different. Again, sorry.

Yuno and Naruto walked through the halls hand in hand. Yuno showed Naruto through the school, pointing out her old classes and playgrounds. They discussed their respective childhoods, with Naruto leaving out the rough side of his younger years, until they eventually reached their classroom. It sounded like a parade in there to Naruto's ears. Back at his academy, you would receive harsh punishments for clowning around.

As soon as Yuno twisted the knob and pushed the door open, all the laughter and loud chatters that once floated across the room then turned into a dead silence. The class stared at the two as if they were aliens. It was then that recognition kicked in and everyone recognized the pink-haired student. "Oh well if it isn't the principal's little whore," came a voice.

"Burn in hell Hinata," said Yuno. This was an everyday thing. She would walk in, be insulted, and just reply with an insult.

"Hey Yuno, it's Monday! You know what that means," said a tall, muscular boy. He had brown shaggy hair and had a real dark tan.

Yuno knew the voice from anywhere, it was Komanei Loreinsogo. The class clown and bully. Yuno knew what Monday meant. She remembered when she made that deal. She wanted to stop getting beaten all the time. Every day, she used to get beaten, so she had to do something about it. She made a deal with Komanei that he could hit her with full force if he made sure the rest of class would not touch her. She was thankful, but the punches were always devastating and left her disoriented throughout the week.

He got out of his seat and walked towards her. He looked down, "You ready?" Komanei asked with a wicked grin. She mutely nodded, readying herself. He pulled his fist back, then launched it with all his might. 'Oh please, god. I don't want this to happen today, not in front of Naruto at least,' thought Yuno. Speaking of Naruto...

PCCHT!

Yuno, twitching with nervousness and anxiety, slowly opened her eyes. There was a hand, reaching from over her shoulder, gripping Komanei's hand tightly.

"Don't you dare!" Naruto snarled, fury in his own optic organs.

Yuno slowly turned to look behind her. Naruto turned his gaze toward her. "Are you alright?" he asked.

Yuno, mouth slightly gaped, nodded numbly. "Y-Yea, I'm fine, thanks," said Yuno. Naruto nodded in response. He then shifted his gaze to the bully. He then released his hand and watched him back off.

Said person was holding his fist in pain. "I'll admit, you've got one hell of a grip, but it's not enough to beat me," said Komanei. Shaking the pain off, he readied himself in a stance. He lifted his left leg up and quickly twisted his hips, sending his foot speeding towards Naruto's face. Naruto made a quick block and grabbed the leg. He retaliated with a swift kick that connected to Komanei's head. The bully stumbled backwards before gripping a desk from behind, regaining himself. "You little shit!" Komanei said.

He then grabbed said desk and was about to chuck it before pausing and throwing it in a different direction. Naruto made to dodge, only to realize the desk wasn't aiming at him. "Yuno!" he yelled. 'That bastard!'

'Oh crap, I can't out of the way in time!' Yuno thought. She looked towards Naruto, panic in her eyes. The hurtling desk neared and was soon mere inches from her face.

"No, Yuno!" Naruto yelled, not able to reach her fast enough.

TWACK!

Yuno stood there, shuddering. The loud noise of the impact froze her solid. Her eyes, slightly twitching, started to open. 'What did it hit?' she thought.

She started to open her slightly twitching eyes. She saw an arm in front of her grabbing it. 'Wait, that's my arm!' She realized. Indeed it was. She was really scared now. 'I'm not doing this!' she thought. The arm that was once holding the chair, pulled itself back and flung it at Komanei.

The chair made a direct hit to the ribs, possibly crushing a few, and sent the bully pushing through desks and eventually hitting the wall opposite of her with a loud thud.

The students looked toward the small crater Yuno had made. "Holy shit, she took down Komanei!"someone cried.

"Yeah, and with only one hit!" shouted another student. Komanei was unconscious, his body in a sitting position with his back slouched.

Yuno's hand was still sticking out, indicating that she was the one who threw the object. She quickly retrieved her hand from its position, returning it back to her side. She looked down at her arm which was starting to tremble. 'I d-don't understand...what was that just now? That wasn't me...was it?' she thought.

She then heard a somewhat sinister laugh approach to the doorway. It slid open revealing Youkai Yuno.

("That's right, it wasn't you, it was me!") Youkai Yuno said. The voice seemed to echo and Yuno grew dizzy. She walked to a desk to support herself. Yuno looked up and observed her surroundings. People and other objects that moved in the classroom seemed to stop and started to lose their color until they eventually turned to black and white.

"Not you again! What do you want?" Snarled Yuno.

("What do you mean?") she questioned, starting to feel enraged. ("I just saved your ass! I think I deserve a little 'thank you!")

Yuno was facing the window while Youkai Yuno creeped behind her. She then felt two cold hands claim her shoulders. She started to shudder when she heard the dark breathing behind her. (But, your assumptions were right to believe that I wanted something,) said Youkai Yuno, slithering her way in front of Yuno, her back facing her.

Yuno was starting to get a little cold in the odd colored room. She stared at Youkai Yuno, hoping she would figure out what she wanted. Youkai Yuno seemed to be observing the classroom, walking around, examining the students closely. She then stopped at Naruto, her hand sliding across his cheek. She then turned towards Yuno, ("This is what I want,") she said.

"What do you mean 'want' him?" Yuno asked, a little afraid of the answer.

("I mean, he looks like a suitable man, and possibly a great husband. I want him to be mine,") was the response. She looked at the original Yuno, who was currently still sitting in the desk, still a little shaky.

"You can't! He loves me!" Yuno shouted.

("Well then he'll have to learn to share,") said Youkai Yuno with a smirk.

Yuno shook her head in anger and disgust. Naruto was hers and hers alone, she didn't want to share! "Why can't you settle for someone else?! Why him?!" she asked angrily.

("There's something special about him, something you have yet to find out,") said Youkai Yuno. ("Listen, it isn't so bad, we're just sharing. As a matter if fact, letting me share him will be your token if gratitude.")

"But I don't want to share!" Yuno yelled.

Youkai Yuno walked toward Yuno and stopped before her. ("Look, I just saved you, and the chances are, I'm going to do it again. I'm forced to protect you anyways-if you die, I die,") she said, receiving a glare from Yuno. ("And believe it or not, I AM you. Like your other half.")

"You're nothing like me, except for maybe my looks," Yuno said angrily.

("Actually, that's not true,") Youkai Yuno said. ("We share the same emotions. You love Naruto, so do I. You hate the people at this school.") She glanced over at Komanei. ("So do I.") Youkai Yuno took a few steps backwards, giving Yuno some space. ("We are technically the same, don't forget that. And we WILL share him, that is final.")

"Wait. Where are you going?" Yuno asked.

("Back into the depths of your mind, where your emotions display,") said Youkai Yuno. ("I'll see you soon.")

Yuno got out of her desk and scurried over spot she was standing at earlier. She turned toward Youkai Yuno who snapped her fingers and started to slowly disappear in a black fog, staring at Naruto the whole time. The fog eventually cleared out along with Youkai Yuno and time returned.

She turned to Naruto who wore a very confused expression and probably had many questions to ask. She put on a fake but convincing smile. "What's the look for?" she asked sweetly.

Naruto looked toward Komanei who still seemed to be plunged into the wall. He looked toward her again. "Your kidding, right? How in the world did you manage to do that?" he asked, the other kids in the class nodding there heads, wanting to know how.

"I think you underestimate me, Naruto-kun," said Yuno, faking a giggle. She watched as Naruto's confused frown started to turn into a toothy smile.

"Your telling me! Wow, what an arm!" He laughed.

Yuno sighed as her tensed body could now relax. 'Well at least he bought it.'

Under that smile, Naruto and Kyume were having a deep discussion.

—

Naruto paced through the sewers. "So you think that the tail made its way into Yuno's body?" he asked. They were both seated in quite comfortable chairs. Kyume had obviously made some arrangements within his mind scape. He watched as Kyume nodded and rested his head on his hand, which was supported on the chair's arm.

"Yes, it would seem so," said Kyume. Naruto looked a little panicked. From what he heard from some villagers, youkai were bad news. Kyume noticed Naruto's discomfort and asked, "What's bothering you?"

Naruto looked up and asked, "This thing, it's not going to hurt her, is it?"

Kyume saw the fear in his eyes and reassured him, "No. Although its a youkai, it doesn't mean it's evil. This youkai, being trapped inside Yuno, will do all it can to protect it's jailer. They also share feelings. That's good."

Naruto sighed and eased up. If anything were to happen to Yuno, he would never forgive himself. "So it's like a bodyguard, right?" he asked.

"Precisely. Though it is usually a little aggressive when it first meets its jailer. But they should be well acquainted right about now."

"How do you know?"

"It's my job to know the whereabouts of the tail. It is mine, after all," Kyume said as Naruto nodded. Kyume looked around before cupping his left hand behind his ear. "Well it appears that our time is up. Yuno is trying to get your attention. You'd better be quick; she's starting to worry."

Naruto quickly closed his eyes and soon found himself face to face with Yuno. "Are you alright?" she asked.

Naruto nodded. "Sorry, I was in a deep thought."

Yuno mouthed 'oh' before looking toward two desks near a corner in the classroom. "Let's sit there, alright?"

"Sounds good to me," replied Naruto. They made their way and sat down. Before they could chat, the bell had rung, and the classroom door slid open, revealing a tall man. He wore a light blue shirt and skinny jeans, he was a little pale compared to most citizens, and he had brown and slightly blond hair. His hand was firmly gripped on a boy's shoulder, but he wasn't mad, he actually looked quite happy.

The boy, however, looked somewhat aggravated. He had black hair and dark blue eyes. He wore a tan beanie on his head, an orange coat with a slim, black sweater underneath, a pair of green shorts, and brown boots. He was staring down at his phone, typing something that no one in the class had a clue about.

The teacher nudged him forward, "Go on and take a seat, your off the hook this time. Just don't do it again," he said. The student walked to his desk, which was left of Naruto.

Getting curious, Naruto looked at him before holding putting his hand out, wanting a friendly handshake. "Hello, my name is Naruto, I'm new here," he said warly. "What's your name?"

The boy continued typing after he was questioned. He then finally finished whatever he was typing and closed his phone. A smile appeared on his face before answering hesitantly, "Yukiteru Amano, though most people call me Yuki."

They shook hands and returned their attention to the board. Well, Naruto did; Yuki opened his phone and continued to type.

—

The time had gone by fast and the class soon ended. Yuno and Naruto exited hand in hand, talking all the way down the hall. Yuki, being a slow packer, was left behind. He was about to walk out when his phone went off. He flipped it open and read the message.

—4/28/09 2:49—Two contestants were in the classroom.

Yuki's eyes widened slightly. He then smiled. 'This should be fun.'
