Broken in the Way of Love

Chapter 4: The Demon's Warning

He had decided to go for a walk and it had not been long after that Sakura-chan and Sasuke-kun found him. Naruto thoughts were interrupted as he realized that Sakura, Sasuke, and he had reached the party again.

 

“Well, I suppose it is time for the speeches!” yelled then woman most knew as the fifth Hokage - but to Naruto she would always be Tsunade-obaa-chan. Cheers went round. “Who wishes to be first?” she questioned - though all knew Iruka would want, and deserved to go first, as the man who was practically a father to the young man.

 

Thus no one was surprised when he rang out with a loud and clear “I DO!” His speech, along with many others, were made until it was the guest-of honor's turn. However, by this time the ominous feeling had grown and Naruto was now pale and slightly dizzy, his eyes tinting red between blinks

 

Nevertheless, he stood up. “I would like to thank everyone for coming today, I consider you all my family and feel-” He would have continued but a wave of dizziness over took him and he past out. Gasps were heard throughout the party as Iruka and Kakashi made their way toward him - however they were thrown back by a blast of red chi, which proceeded to take a fox-shaped form except instead of the nine tails they were expecting there were only two.

 

Suddenly a groan brought their attention back to Naruto as he slowly regained consciousness.

 

“…what happened?” Naruto questioned.

 

“Perhaps I can answer that, since you have finally regained consciousness…If you have been paying attention - as I know you have been, you should have noticed that spring approaches us-”

 

“Well DUH! Even the village idiots know that!” Shouted an oblivious male (who just happened to be one said village idiot).

 

“Do notpresume to interrupt me again ningen, or you will find yourself without the necessary equipment to reproduce.” Threaten the kitsune spirit, trying to gather his patience. “As I was saying- it is your first year of manhood and I believe it is time to find my mate-”

 

“Hey that's from my dream last night!” Recalled Naruto suddenly all the while blushing in embarrassment from further implication s of last nights dream.

 

The kitsune was angry about yet another interruption - then calmed remembering ningens were only so smart, before smirking at the now obvious blush on his human counterparts face and the less obvious smell of arousal (not to mention the very slight bulged in his pants). `Obviously I was sealed a most appropriate body - he must have been a kitsune himself in one of his past lives' observed the kitsune.

 

“Very well, I will find your mate.” Naruto accepted.

 

“Yes, you will - I will lead you to her, your job is to get her, keep her, and love her-” the demon said eerily before yet ANOTHER interruption (AN: They don't have very good manners do they?)

 

Naruto's eyes suddenly took a depressed look, before he hid them under his bangs. “No, I refuse…she…I…no I, can't…” he tried explaining, pain evident in his voice.

 

“Do you fear another rejection?” Asked the demon, though it really was not a question. Naruto visibly flinched. “Perhaps, you do not understand…” the demon's voice getting steadily more malicious, “you WILL find my mate, and the female whose body she is inhabits. Then you WILL get the ningen onna to be your mate-”

 

“Wife.” Naruto dazedly corrected.

 

Growling audible the kitsune continued “It is of little difference. You find her and mate her, or I WILL. I have resisted my baser instinct for TWO mating seasons in sequence” the fox's eyes taking an almost painfully lustful glint,“because your body was not yet mature enough at only one summerold, and then the females all became ill in your eleventh summer. By, the by, your females have recover, yes? I'd hate for your mate - and in turn mine - to be sickly” Questioned the fox seeming sincerely curious now.

 

“Female sickness when I was eleven you say?” Pondered Naruto, waiting for the fox's nod, “I don't recall…”

 

“You must. You wouldn't even go near your vixens.” Insisted the fox

 

“Kyuubi-sama, you would not happen to mean, um, cooties? Do you?” Questioned Sakura, in a rare display of understanding.

 

“Ahh! That's it! You onna are over it now yes? Continued Kyuubi - unaware of all the red faces - holding in their laughter.

 

“Yes, Kyuubi-sama. The females are healthy again.” Answered Sasuke, since he regained his composure first.

 

“Hmmm…that is good…very good - a healthy mate means healthy kits and, heh, healthy bed activities…” smirked the kitsune. “ Remember Naruto, it is thanks to my POWER combining with yours that so much evil has been destroyed if you have not claimed our mate in two moon cycles time (that's two months). I will use the last mating month to do what you could not…” The kitsune finished eerily as his chi resided back into Naruto.

 

“Two months, huh?” Gaara said voicing every ones thoughts. But what he did not know was that by the end of the two months many things would be different.

 

Needless to say, after Kyuubi's little warning, partying was the last thing on anyone's mind. Instead, gift were left unopened, foods were packed away to be eaten later, and one ninja was left to his lonesome to try and figure out what to do next…

 

“…until spring my love…for now you must awaken so we may meet again...”

 

**Naruto's Apartment, the following morning**

 

“Wake UP! Naruto!” yelled an angry male voice - Sakura by the sounds of it. And where you find Sakura you find-

 

“Sakura, calm down! He's fine! Deep breath!” said a calm Sasuke.

 

Naruto opened his eyes, right after hearing twin sighs. “Hey, mornin' guys…” a dazed, sleepy eyed Naruto said.

 

“`Hey, mornin' guys,'” mimicked Sakura, “Naruto, how can you stay so calm!?! The Nine-Tailed Fox just threatened life as we know it and all you can say is: `Hey, mornin' guys'!?!”

 

“Relax Sakura - You. Need. To. Breathe…” replied a frighteningly calm Naruto.

 

“Breathe. BREATHE! Naruto, how can you stay so calm at a time like this!?!” screamed the now hysteric Sakura.

 

Naruto shifted nervously to his feet. `Why am I so calm I should be crazy by now - between Hinata and now this demon and his mate… Wait that's it!' “Sakura, I'm calm because that is what the situation calls for. Besides, we have two months. Now, I am going to get dressed and pack.”

 

“Pack for what?” The two (Sakura and Sasuke) questioned in unison.

 

“Why to find the girl who houses the Nine-Tails' Mate.” Naruto replied simply, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
