Always There for Me

Chapter four

Naruto's apartment

Naruto started to regain consciousness groaning as he awoke. He looked about to get his bearings.

'I'm in my apartment. How did I get here? Was that all a dream?' Naruto pondered, confused.

''No, kit, it's not a dream and I carried you here after you fainted'' said a deep voice.

Naruto looked in the direction of the voice to find Kyuubi, in human form, now fully clothed.

''I don't understand, how can you be here and- I don't understand in general really.'' Naruto said, with a confused face.

Kyuubi sighed ''As I said, kit, the kage bunshin you made now inhabits my mind and chakra. However, my real body is still sealed inside you. The jutsu I made you do, made a body for me, the kage bushin jutsu at the beginning was to make the first body layer, the summoning jutsu with the added dog and tiger seal summoned my mind and chakra to the body and finally another kage bushin seal to make the body real. Basically, the jutsu was like a sandwich, the kage bushin as the first slice of bread, the summoning as inner parts and the last kage bunshin as the second slice. Do you understand now, kit?'' explained Kyuubi.

Naruto listened intently then nodded ''Yeah, I think I understand. I made you a body that allows you to live outside the seal. So, what are you going to do now you're not confined anymore? Are you going to leave or destroy the village?'' asked Naruto, sadness in his voice and face.

Kyuubi gave Naruto a look of confusion ''I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to clean this apartment and your helping, after that I don't know I'll see what happens.'' he said in disgust as he looked at the rubbish dump of an apartment.

Half an hour later

Naruto and Kyuubi looked at the now clean apartment. Tired from the cleaning, Naruto sat down on his bed with Kyuubi soon joining him.

''I still don't get how you could live in such a filthy apartment. It's good now that I'm here to make sure this place is tidy. Maybe I should become a ninja? The pay would be good and that means you won't need to go and buy food and get objects thrown at you. Yeah, I should. Don't worry, Naruto, I'll always be there for you, 'kay?'' said Kyuubi, with a fox grin on his face.

Naruto smiled back at him and said ''Yeah, you'll always be there for me! Thanks, Kyuubi!'' before falling asleep.

I apologise if the jutsu explanation made no sense and if the storyline was a bit soppy.

Thanks for reading. Please review.
