Kyuubi shook her leg back and forth, her pain inconsolable.

How could she? I mean...after everything we've been through. After all the things I've done for her. I never hurt her intentionally. So why?

Her ears pricked up at the sound of feet landing outside, and her eyes were immediately on the balcony door. Her gaze narrowed, at the sight of a smiling Yuki Hazukashii. She knew what had transpired and tried hard not to let the tears show on her face. She would normally roar, and destroy something, but she first had to know the answer. Why? Why had she not come to her? The door slid open, and her nine tails whipped behind her in different patterns.

"K-kyuu-chan?" Yuki asked. The demon could smell the fear coming off the younger woman and didn't bother trying to assure that she wasn't angry.

"You. I've given my soul to you, and treated you well. Mated you, despite the obvious conflict of interests and now you throw that away for a one night stand with an Inuzuka," she said, noting how each word seemed to hit the girl.

"Kyuubi! That-that was personal, and if I have no mate, then you have no right to chain me away from other men," came the respose.

"Yuki, I worry about you. You are mine, and no one else has the right to lay their hands on you," she said. She pulled one of her tails close and enjoyed the feel of fur on her face.

"What gives you the right, huh?"

"If he ever lays another filthy hand on your body, I will make him suffer so much, that even Akamaru will feel as if he has been spayed," she growled, her eyes returning to her friend.

"I will fuck whoever I-"

This pushed her over the edge, and Kyuubi did not hesitate to raise a single claw and bring it down upon her lo- best friend. As the sound echoed through the walls, Kyuubi tried hard to remain emotionless.

"If what you desired from me was sex, I would give it to you. Naruto has had me in everyway, his pervy brain could come up with. And yet, you have made only one pass," she said, choosing each word, carefully.

"You forbade me from mating you ever again, and to put any thoughts of our relationship advancing, out of mind. What was I supposed to do? Don't answer that. Why do you even care?" she asked, the anger suddenly visible.

Kyuubi looked away, ashamed. She had sent the girl away, regardless of what her heart told her. Yet, she couldn't deny that she was in love with her.

"Yuki. I-"

Suddenly, the roles had been reversed and the demon found herself unable to retort, or even answer to the questions. Sure, being in heat made her more feminine and less stable, but she never thought that the way her heart was tugging her, would cause her to do what she did next.

"You think that the world revolves around you? That I'm some stupid fucking yo-yo, that you can push and pull whenever you want? WAKE UP AKIRA! I'm not your slave! I could give less than a damn about how you feel right now. Want to cry? Go ahead. Run to Naruto and tell him that you spied on my personal life. Tell him that you want him, and fuck him. I don't care anymore. You already took what you wanted from me. Now...leave. I need to rest tonight."

Yuki's eyes were fierce and the small drop of water that overfilled one of her eyes, caused the demon to do exactly as she was told. She stood up, and headed towards the door, her heart aching. She didn't retrieve the Hoshi no Tama, but stopped at the balcony.

"For what it's worth, Yuki, I always wanted you to be my mate. I never wanted to push you away, and I'm sorry that I did. Love you. Maybe a little too much, ya know?" She jumped down, and teleported herself to the usual spot that she and her friend had hung out at.

Seven hundred and eighty four years. Eighty five, tomorrow. I've been around far too long, and yet...I've never come across this situation ever. Yuki-chan. I love you. Damnit, why am I so stupid when it comes to human hearts? I've dealt with them for what seems like forever, yet I don't seem to be learning anything.

She hung her head and wept,hoping for one thing, as the rain started.

Please...give me another chance. I will fix this, tomorrow morning.
