Kyū-bi to kitsune no on'nanoko (Naruto and Raita unless invited)

After a usual day of training and eating Ramen at Ichiraku's. Naruto decided to go for a walk alone he prefers to be alone today since he had a lot on his mind. Perhaps Gaara might be willing to talk to him they were alike in so many ways both of them were demon hosts and were hunted by the Akatsuki. Or perhaps visit Lady Tsunad or Sakura. But he instead chose to walk by himself it was refreshing from his life as a ninja and Jinchuuriki. Naruto sat down under a tree looking at the lake below it. Kyuubi wasn't awake at this time so Naruto had no reason to be concerned. "Hmm...I wonder if I should go swimming" Naruto said a loud. Not giving it a second thought he got into his shorts and jumped into the lake making a huge splash.

I was taking a walk letting my fox ears and tail out as I walked. I yawned as it was early. I placed my sealing pendant in my pocket and sat down. I wasn't wearing my Akatsuki cloak knowing it would cause me problems if I did, but I wore my headband around my neck. As I sat I found nearby an apple tree. I smiled and decided to get myself one and jumped up into the tree. Suddenly I heard a splashing noise nearby and realized it was coming from the lake. I decided to check it out picking another apple for later I jumped out of the tree doing a flip before landing perfectly graceful back on solid ground. Once reaching the lake I found there was a boy with yellow hair swimming in it in nothing but his boxers which caused me to begin laughing.

After he finished swimming Naruto dried himself off and put his clothes back on. He then heard someone laughing looking up he noticed a girl with fox ears and a headband tied around her waist. She didn't seem dangerous so there was no reason to be alarmed by her. "Hey there miss why are you up in that tree" Naruto asked the fox girl. He then waited for her to answer him.

( umm okay...i was wearing my headband around my neck....and im not in the tree anymore...ah oh well ill make it work)

I jumped out of the tree i sat in getting a better view of the boy. I gasped slightly realizing he was the Kyuubi, rite here in front of me. I then regained my composure and smiled."Just, taking a walk." I said looking at the boy."Why are you swimming around all by yourself...its dangerous around here you know." I said pretty mush referring to the Akatsuki HQ being somewhere nearby. I then took a bite of my apply looking at him.

(You said apply instead of apple lol and oops)

Naruto smiled as he put the necklace that Granny Tsunade gave him on. "I'm a ninja I'll stand up for myself" Naruto said giving her a thumbs up. The Kyuubi was waking up sensing the girl near Naruto. "Naruto....watch your back with this one" Kyuubi growled from the depths of his seal. Naruto heard Kyuubi but decided to ignore the fox's warning about this girl. "I'm just walking and taking a swim I'm not too worried" Naruto cotinued to explain to her with a huge smile.

I stood there raising a brow slightly then giggle again."Your a weird one....My name is Raita Kurokaji nice to make your acquaintance." I said with a smile holding out my hand. I then sniffed the air narrowing my eyes in thought.[He really must be the Kyuubi...he smells like a fox.] I thought to myself. I then remembered I wasn't wearing my necklace. Not even Madara knew I was a fox demon. Once again I snapped out of my train of thought and smiled still holding out my hand to the boy.

Naruto laughed on the whole weird comment on him but he thought it to be funny. "I'm naruto it's nice to meet you Raita" He said happily smiling to her. He then took her hand and shook on it. (She isn't that bad fox you should be careful yourself) Naruto thought to the fox as Kyuubi growled to his host. "Watch it boy your gentle nature will get us killed" Kyuubi said in a powerful demonic tone to him.

I smiled once more and stepped back from the boy."So I see your from Konoha...Nice village." I said noticing the boys headband. I would have just decided to snag the boy but even Itachi was incapable of capturing him so I knew it would be to much of a challenge. I decided to make friends with him instead."Are you the Kyuubi by any chance that they speak of?" I finally asked.

Naruto smiled back to her she was very nice to him not like many other people. "Yes I'm from Konoha and it isn't that great of a village not since Orochimaru but Lady Tsunade is taking good care of it" Naruto said looking at Raita and stretched out. He then heard her question of Kyuubi the nine tailed fox...how did she know of the beast? "Yeah I'm that monsters host why do you ask miss Raita" Naruto answer than put his own question into the conversation. Kyuubi heard his name and lifted his head his pointed fangs glistened in what light there was in the dark place to which he was condemned to stay.

I smiled closing my eyes for a moment before opening them again. placing all my weight on one leg before crossing my arms."Just curious. I heard about it and I can smell it." I said now playing with my long crimson tail."Don't worry I have nothing against it." I said i then threw my apple core away since i finished the apple without noticing.

Naruto looked at her she was a sweet person but also very curious about his fox. "I never said you did miss Raita" Naruto said nervously hoping she wasn't offended in anyway to his question. Kyuubi laughed at Naruto's stupid behavior towards Raita. "Naruto...can't talk to a girl" Kyuubi made fun of his host now. Naruto's face grew irritated to Kyuubi's rude comments. "Shut up Kyuubi" Naruto growled a loud. Then he quickly looked back at Raita hoping she wasn't going to think he was a dork.

I sweat dropped and reased a brow as Naruto suddenly yelled at the fox inside of him."It...talks to you?" I asked slightly surprised by their connection. I never expected them to have contact with each other. I smiled again.[color=crimson]"Well thats very interesting." I said."join me for a walk?" I asked. I wanted to learn more about the child's connection to the beast and maybe more about Naruto as well. It might prove useful to the akatsuki. After all, I was the informational link to them.

Naruto looked at Raita feeling stupid for yelling at Kyuubi in front of her. "Yeah he tends to try to make me remove his seal so he can be free" Naruto said sadly looking down. The boy was obviously falling into the Akatsuki's hands just talking to this girl. Kyuubi knew this but since Naruto is too stubborn to listen to him he couldn't do anything about it. "Uh sure though most people wouldn't talk to me because of the Kyuubi" Naruto mentioned to her. "Stupid child he'll get us killed" Kyuubi growled to himself.

I wasn't going to treat Naruto as an outcast because of the beast, in fact it gave me two reasons to accept him. One I myself was a fox demon and Two I was an Akatsuki member trying to earn his trust and maybe get him into the Akatsuki hide out of his own will. I smiled at the boy taking a bite of my second apple as I walked with him."I wont reject you because of that...Im a fox demon." I told him.

He looked at her ears again feeling better about himself Naruto smiled. "I'm glad you don't see me as an outcast miss Raita it means a lot to me" Naruto said reaching into his pockets for something. Pulling it out he held it up and handed it to Raita. It was a blue Crystal Necklace which he held after doing a mission in the cave's not too far from here. "Here you can have this miss Raita" Naruto said smiling to her.

I paused for a moment eyes wide looking at the crystal then back and Naruto."What...for me...but..why?" I asked a bit in shock. I had stopped walking completely then looked forward looking into the distance were i was leading him to his death. I then looked down In a slight shame then back up at him."Lets...go that way." I pointed to another direction.I was now leading him away from the Akatsuki. For some reason I couldn't bring myself to do it. This was probably why I was not to do fieldwork. I was to soft sometimes for my own good.

Naruto smiled and put the crystal in Raita's hands. "Of coarse I'm very nice once you get to actually know me" Naruto commented. He then heard Raita mention another direction and fully agreed walking in the same direction was boring him. "So are you from the Leaf Village too" Naruto asked her. He was enjoying someone's company especially since she understood him too. "What do you do in the village" Naruto asked another question.

I was slightly surprised that Naruto hadn't noticed the scratch across my headband signally that I wasn't from there anymore. I thought for a moment to think of something to say."Well I...don't really do much...I have a few friends there." I said with a smile.

"That is cool so who are your friends" Naruto asked not wanting to know why there was a scratch on her headband. He found it impossible for her to be an Akatsuki she was too nice and wasn't trying to kill him. "Miss Raita...why is there a scratch on your headband..was it from training" Naruto asked her calmly. "You should meet Jiraiya Sensi he is nice" Naruto invited her.

I looked at my headband then back at Naruto slightly greatfull he had just given me an excuse for it."Yeah...its from training. Lets see." I thought of my friends from the village."Ten ten, Hinata, Neji...Well im friends with lost of people." I said laughing slightly. I then nodded at Naruto invitation showing that I agreed to meet the Sanin.

Smiling Naruto led the way to Pervy Sage. Walking a mile back to the Village gate and meeting up with Jiraiya. "Hey pervy sage I found a friend" Naruto said pointing at Raita. Jiraiya looked up at her and his eyes must have fell out of his eye sockets cause he was drooling. "Naruto who's your beautiful friend" Jiraiya asked Naruto walking over to Raita. Naruto sighed he knew Jiraiya was going to do this again. "That's Raita...pervy Sage" Naruto answered. Jiraiya turned towards Naruto with an annoyed face. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT" He yelled at Naruto who ignored him.

I laughed at the two of them. The way they acted was like a couple of kids. I stood there watching the two of them then simply walked forward holding out my hand to Jiraiya."Nice too meet one of the Sanin, so you teach Naruto?" I asked him simply. Things were definitely becoming odd yet I became beside myself with how much research i was getting done today. I was a scientist soaking in all the information and character from everyone who crossed my path.

Jiraiya jumped at the chance to hold Raita's hand and grabbed it. "A pleasure to meet a beautiful young lady" Jiraiya said having his drooling problem get worse. "Yes he trains me...when he isn't checking out women in the shower" Naruto said. Jiraiya turned to Naruto again his face really pissed red. "It's research" He growled at Naruto. Naruto laughed so hard he could have just died there. "Yeah right pervy sage" He laughed still.

I laughed again from their little dispute and shook Jiraiya's hand. I then took it back and placed my headband in my bag with my Akatsuki cloak to keep them both well hidden. I then looked up at the two boys with a smile."So, what are we doing?" I asked having pretty much all day to kill.

Jiraiya looked at Raita again. "Well I'm going to train Naruto would you like to join us" Jiraiya asked her. Naruto thought this wouldn't have turned out so creepy to him. No it got worse then that now even he wanted her to come along. "Yeah Raita you should join us" Naruto said excited about it.
