Sitting in a lotus position, Naruto frowned at the scrolls strewn about his bed and his inability to find answers within. He felt a little dumb for thinking that with the resources he had access to, that he would find more information about the seal used to put the Kyuubi in him. It didn’t help that his worthless, lazy, pervert of a sensei refused to answer his well thought out questions on the matter. (1)
He still didn’t know what had happened to that sexy red headed fox-girl. Absolutely nobody would tell him where she had gone and the destruction of parts of Konoha was being covered up as an impromptu test of security. It was torture not to tell his teammate Haruno Sakura since he had thought up about ten ways for it to make him look cool. Naruto also wanted to desperately rub it into his rival Uchiha Sasuke’s face that he’s not the center of attention.
“Hey, boy.” A man’s voice whispered softly from a place right behind Naruto’s ears.
Moving with lightning quick speed, Naruto spun around to face the intruder to his room but found only his poster covered wall. “Eh?” He narrowed his eyes in thought before bouncing up to his feet on the bed. “I’ll warn you now, you’ve entered the home of the amazing, number one Konoha ninja, and soon to be Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto! Now show yourself!” He declared aggressively.
“Sadly, that’s a bit difficult for me at the moment.” The man’s velvety smooth voice purred from the same shadowy corner just behind him.
“Oh, ya? Why’s that?” His eyes darted from side to side, not being able to figure out where this guy was. ‘I gotta learn this jutsu from him though! Oh the pranks I could pull on Sasuke!’
“Perhaps this would be easier a different way.”
Naruto felt a twisting in his gut before all the blood in his body seemed to rush past his ears all at once. He closed his eyes briefly and when he opened them he found that he was in a different place. Giant bars dominated his vision as they stretched upwards to the ceiling high above. The air was damp and his feet were wet because he was standing in a small puddle.
“Wow, this place sucks.” He commented, continuing to take in the rest of the room.
“My sentiments exactly.”
Naruto didn’t know how to respond to the man standing calmly behind the cage bars. Standing as tall as his sensei Kakashi, most of his body was hard to see due to his all black clothing. Long orange hair framed a face that reminded him of that red haired girl. Around the man’s red slitted eyes were black marks that came to points directed at pointed ears.
“You want to impress some girl, correct?” The man asked casually, red eyes intensely looking past the bars.
“What’s it to you?” He hadn’t been talking about Sakura while in his room, at least not out loud. “Who are you and where am I?” Naruto added as an afterthought.
“Because it seems to me that you’re having a difficult time gaining her affection.” The man laughed softly to himself with his eyes closing briefly.
“That’s not true!” Naruto protested loudly, bouncing up to stand close to the bars. “Sakura-chan is just playing hard to get!” He continued on, not caring how his proximity seemed to make the orange haired man’s mouth quirk into a smile.
“Oh! So, this female has a name!” He smiled even wider.
“Sakura-chan isn’t just some female.” Naruto growled at the man.
“Sure, they’re all ‘special’ in some way.” The man remarked sarcastically, waving his hand flippantly.
Naruto took several steps back and looked up to where a piece of paper was hanging from the bars. ‘Seal.’ He backed away further. “Who are you anyways?” He asked suspiciously.
“I assumed it was obvious.” The man crossed his arms and leaned against the bar, intense humorless red eyes watching Naruto’s every move.
“You’re the Fox.” He whispered and gulped nervously.
“So it wasn’t that obvious. And here I thought we were having a nice chat about your inability to bed some girl.” The Kyuubi spoke in disappointment while rolling his eyes.
Naruto blushed furiously and giggled a little bit at the image before remembering who had just insulted him. “What would you know about it? You’re just some big ugly demon! Why do you even look like that, huh? Why don’t you look like that redhead with the big boobs?”
“Her? Is she still alive?” The orange haired man leaned partially out of the bars, eagerly waiting Naruto’s answer.
“I think.” He admitted, not sure since he hadn’t seen her since that morning. “Well? Why do you look like some creepy guy instead of her?”
The Kyuubi vanished back into the darkness of his cage before answering. “I’m bored of you boy. Leave me be.”
“And who says I’m done with you?!” He called out bravely into the dark. Naruto took an aggressive step forward and promptly fell off of his bed to face plant into the wall of his bedroom. Squinting his eyes against the sudden brightness, he pushed himself up to sit in a lotus position with his arms crossed.
“I fell asleep.” Naruto concluded, resolving that he should probably mention the weird dream to old man Sarutobi.
