Naruto And The Vixen

With Naruto

In the two months since his banishment Naruto had changed significantly. Due to proper food he was taller now. He also had learned a lot about the sealing arts from his parents possessions. He was more muscular due to the Kyuubi's training program. He had not been bothered by hunter nin, ROOT ANBU and the Akatsuki ever since misleading them by letting them follow a shadow clone towards the land of Lightning where the ROOT ANBU and Akatsuki tried to take the clone only to end up fighting against each other. The clone simply walked away and dispelled a little distance away. His once childlike ideals were removed from him a little as he was a little more realistic now. He decided to make certain that the leaf realized their mistake when they banished him. His idea originally where to take revenge just like Orochimaru had done but Kyuubi snapped him out of it. He had grown a lot closer to the vixen sealed inside of him and was almost ready to do something he had planned for a while. Yes, vixen. He still remembers the day he found out that the Kyuubi was a she.

flashback

Naruto woke up in the dark sewer that was his mindscape. Over the last three weeks since he arrived in the mountain range west of the land of wind, he started studying his mothers sealing scroll and spent some time with the Kyuubi in his mind. He came to the conclusion that the fox could be a great friend if treated with respect and you kept an open mind. Visits to his mindscape almost became second nature. He started spending at least one hour of every day in his mindscape. The meditation worked miracles for his patience and intelligence. This was also a reason the two became closer friends. Today was different, he came with a mission. He has had it with the fact that his mind was a sewer and figured the Kyuubi would know if it was possible to change it and if so how. He walked through the familiar pathways to the cage where the fox was sealed.

"Good morning Kyuubi." He greeted enthusiastically. Naruto then heard some grumbles about energetic blonds waking up people that are trying to sleep. This was followed by a few shadowed movements that could not be made out in the darkness of the cave. Then the familiar form of the giant fox shifted on the other side of the bars. Eyes the same size as Naruto's entire form with slits for pupils opened in the darkness. "Good morning, kit. Is there a reason other than wishing me a good morning for waking me up?" came the deep voice from the other side. As always the voice made Naruto remember that he was speaking to an enormous fox instead of to a human.

"Yes, there is. You see, I do not particularly like the fact that my mind is a sewer. Especially since I started spending some time here. And I thought that you might have an idea if it is possible to change what the mindscape looks like. You spend more time here than I do and I also doubt that this is your favorite scenery. So changing this sewer into something more appealing."

"Indeed it is possible, kit. All you have to do is focus and imagine what you want it to look like. Since you wanted to change it into something better, I was thinking trees. A nice little forest to live in. A forest would also mirror your mind being full of life." stated the fox in its usual deep tone.

"You do not need to hide the fact that you would like trees in the mindscape by stating that it would mirror something. I already have an idea what I want to do with the mindscape." replied Naruto. He then started to focus his mind to alter his mindscape.

Naruto's mindscape steadily changed from the dark sewer into a beautiful meadow. At the edge of the meadow stood trees for about two kilometers of trees. The pipes that channeled the chakra to the seal had changed into a river that cut the meadow in two. The pipe containing Kyuubi's red chakra sank into the ground and became a footpath of rocks along the river. The flow of the Kyuubi's chakra was still clearly visible through the pathway. In the middle of the meadow at the base of the river was a pond. Above the pond was a waterfall. In the middle of the pond was an island that was large enough for the Kyuubi to lie upon. Due to the waterfall behind it it would also be an ideal place for two humans to spar. Kyuubi's seal was also changed from a cage to a collar to allow it to move through the mindscape and as such decide whether it wants to lie in the meadow, on the stone island, or in the forest. During the entire change the Kyuubi was silent, it was even holding it's breath. The sounds convinced Naruto that the Kyuubi was speechless. Just then the Kyuubi decided to speak.

"It's beautiful." the Kyuubi muttered. Naruto then decided to look at the Kyuubi. This was the first time that he actually saw the Kyuubi after all. The old sewer mindscape always covered its form. He saw the Kyuubi's red fur surround its head. The way it surrounded its head and back giving it a feminine appearance. Naruto's mind was elsewhere. He could only react in one way. He subconsciously readied himself and muttered "just like you are.". After realizing what he said both were flabbergasted. Kyuubi was the first to regain speech and said "Thank you, Naruto.". The lack of disgust in the Kyuubi's voice surprised Naruto. Until his conscious mind finally came to the conclusion that his subconscious made a little while ago.

"You're a girl?" Naruto asked.

"Are you surprised Naruto? Is it really that strange to think that the strongest being in existence is female?" asked the Kyuubi in an accusing manner.

"No it's just that your voice is really deep. So I consequently thought you were a guy. The fact that we only spoke mentally or in a dark sewer where I could not see you did not help that fact." muttered Naruto scared.

end flashback

Ever since then they became even closer friends. Now that Naruto knows that she was a girl their conversations sometimes turned into teasing contests. Naruto then went back into the cave like hole in the mountainside. He had been staying here ever since he came from the land of wind. He was currently just east of the most western village in the elemental nations. West of that lied a large mountain range that he would need to cross to go to the west. He would restock in 'West valley village' as it was called to finally go to the west. For now he went over the preparations one last time. The seal around the cave would keep all the chakra inside preventing people from sensing the events that were about to unfold. There was enough food and water to last two weeks for one person so he could rest afterwards. He had bought some concealing clothes. And the seal he designed should work, since he could find no errors in his design. He created a clone to paint the seal on his own stomach to start the process that would change his future. He knew that it would hurt and had done everything in his power to prevent the Kyuubi from finding out about the project. Ever since finding out that the Kyuubi was a she, he was slowly falling for her. Unknown to Naruto the Kyuubi was also falling for him. Knowing about Naruto's secret project most certainly did not reduce her feelings for him. Both Naruto and the fox thought back to another moment that changed their relationship.

flashback

It has been two days since the fox found out about the plan Naruto had for her. Thinking that he would go that far for her made her feel warm inside. She decided then and there that he would become her mate. As such she had taught him the katas of her own personal fighting style. Her clan had created many styles based upon their vulpine bodies. From the evasive Fox Fist to the counter oriented Merciless Kitsune. Her own variant was based on the principles of these very two styles. Because of her imprisonment in three Uzumakis she gained a lot of sealing knowledge. She added the knowledge she gained on sealing into the mix and thus created the style that was known as the 'Swirling Yoko'. The Swirling Yoko took the evade then sneak in and hit were it hurts then flee mentality from the Fox Fist and abused the defensive stances of the Merciless Kitsune to apply seals while the opponents moves are blocked, and afterwards continuing as if no seals have been applied, and stole a few grappling moves to apply seals from the Whirlpool Fist used by the Uzumaki. Just like most other vulpine fighting styles the Swirling Yoko made the muscles grow in a way that they not only had a function in battle but also during the mating with other vulpine.

Naruto walked through the forest in his mind. He was currently heading for the pond where Kyuubi was lying on the island. Naruto walked up to the vixen and the vixen asked how his katas were coming along. "My katas are coming along fine Kyuubi." Naruto replied.

"Hikari"

"What?"

"My name is Hikari. If you say you are good in your katas then lets test it on this little island in a taijutsu match." spoke Hikari. Hikari then shrouded herself with her red chakra. When the chakra subsided there was a beautiful woman where Hikari had just stood. She had a heart shaped face with luscious lips. Her whisker marks made her face look cute. She had C cup breasts a well muscled butt and wide hips that looked perfect for birthing children. Her red kimono really accentuated her curves without being too revealing. Hikari had crimson waist length hair that was so healthy it looked as if it was alive. Her nails looked like claws and Naruto would bet they could severely damage people. Her red eyes with slit pupils drew in Naruto's eyes. Meanwhile, Naruto's blood had collected itself in his nether region and in his nose where it had started to leak out of. When Naruto was able to move his eyes away from his, he realized the effect she had on his body and immediately blushed deeply. His blush only made his nose bleed more. Hikari stepped towards him, stroked her finger through the blood out of his nose and sensually licked it of her fingers. This turned them on even more.

After the two of them regained their composure, they went onto the island to test out their taijutsu skills. After a short stare down a random leaf floated from one of the trees towards them before landing on the ground. At the moment it was on the ground Naruto rushed at Hikari. Hikari avoided the blow and attacked with her right fist in retaliation. This time Naruto avoided the blow and countered with a kick aimed at Hikari's face. The vixen quickly blocked it and quickly applied a weight seal on Naruto's right leg. Hikari then did an all out assault on Naruto's right kidney. Because he was still sealed of he could not avoid it, so he instead focused on unsealing his right leg. The attack the vixen had thrown on his kidney really hurt. Naruto bit through the pain. Five minutes of fighting later Naruto had managed to put a weight seal on her left leg. He immediately jumped the opportunity to land a few more hits. Unfortunately for him after two hits in Hikari's pain points Hikari manages to kick him of her and then undid the weight seal on her leg. The remainder of the fight Hikari entirely dominated the fight.

After the fight was over Naruto was boasting about his skill in fighting. "Naruto, you do know that I was holding back a lot of strength, right?" asked Hikari. Naruto acknowledged that and Hikari complemented him on getting that far within two days. She also reminded him that he still had a long way to go. They spend the rest of the day talking about the best ways to apply seals to skin, when to choose which style, and about each other. Before leaving for the day Naruto created a small hut in the forests of his mindscape.

end flashback

After the last check on the seal was done, the clone wrote a note for Hikari telling her to wear the concealing clothing for now and that she can have some of the food. Then the clone activated the seal that would free Hikari, before dispelling himself. Naruto felt as if liquid fire was traveling through his body, but for Hikari it is worth it.

In the mindscape

Hikari had long been anticipating this moment and now it was finally hear. She could feel the shock waves that traveled through the mindscape. Right now she was a very happy girl. She had found someone who she wanted to mate and spend the rest of her life with. And now said person was going to give her a great gift, her freedom. While leaving the seal she spent extra care to fix the mindscape as much as possible and leaving behind a piece of her power. This piece would play a large role in making him a vulpine should he decide to become her mate.

Outside

Out of Naruto's body a cloak of energy formed. The red energy moved beside his body and started filling itself into a human-like shape. After twelve hours of leaking from Naruto towards the new body, the shape started to resemble Hikari. Hikari blinked. Naruto's seal was successful. She was free. After putting on the cloak and she started eating. She then decided to cuddle up to Naruto. The cuddling had nothing to do with the fact that she liked the physical contact or so she would proclaim should she be found. She then kissed him on the lips and licked his cheeks. She decided that she would give him an appropriate thanks over the days after he woke up. Over the next three days she learned what it was like to have a physical body again. She spent some time cuddling with the still unconscious Naruto. She enjoyed the fact that she had need to feed him because he required to eat over the days he was unconscious.

Naruto's body finally started to stir. Hikari decided that the first thing he should see was her face and as a result leaned in. Naruto began blushing not long after waking up because the first thing he saw was Hikari's face. They decided to spend the rest of the day and the first half of the next day resting. After that they went to West Valley Village to stock up on food, water, clothes and mountain climbing gear preparing them for the trip through the mountain range.
