Dagger: hey guys, my fever’s gone from 102 to 99, so that’s a good thing. My brother’s a little….indisposed right now, as is Danny-boyI’ll let you decipher that for yourselvesso I’ll just keep going and start the chapter.
On the fifth day following the attack, a visitor arrived at the mouth of the pack’s cave. All the wolves bristled at the unfamiliar Halfling sitting there calmly. Then the pups yipped and ran to the visitor, admiring, greeting, and praising it.
The blood-red kitsune with golden eyes, wise features, and five black-tipped tails strolled in calmly and un-aggressively, stopping five feet short of where Neji was braced for battle.
Sasuke remained in front of the curtain concealing his room and the unconscious occupant within, watching carefully.
The other fox turned his gaze on Sakura. “You are healer, I presume?”
“Hai,” she answered shortly.
“How is my otouto’s condition?”
“Otouto?” Sasuke said, drawing the blood-red’s attention. “Naruto is your brother? You do not appear to be a pet.”
“That is because I never was. I am three years his senior. Naruto….his owner gave him this name?”
The wolves nodded.
“Hn. My mother was trapped and taken from me, my father killed beforehand, when she was pregnant with him. She lost all her kits but Naruto, and then was killed for her pelt. Naruto was kept as a pet because of his species.”
“What do you mean?” Sasuke demanded, interested in what the fox had to say.
“He and I are not normal Halflings. Our ancestors were born of the very earth, water, fire, and air with their own elements. In the beginning, there were sevenFire, Water, Earth, Air, Ice, Dark, and Light. As long as they were not of the same elements, they were permitted to mate and reproduce. After three generations, a new and very rare breed was produced, one that was able to command all seven elements. In all of our history, dated back nearly twelve centuries, there have only been seven of these such kitsune.
“The normal ones are distinguished from the other Halflings by their five tails. I am one of the Fire-bearers. We are allowed three forms. One is out birth form, then our human form. The last is allowed to us only when we gain out last tail. Naruto, on the other hand, is the eighth of that rare species, and he will gain nine tails rather than only five. With that will come his third form as well as control of all his powers. He will have the power of all the elements, as well as healing capabilities, regenerative abilities, and the ability to bear young should he mate with an alpha male.”
With the last, the blood-red kitsune focused his golden gaze on Sasuke solely. “I, being the aniki of such a sacred creature, was given yet another power aside from Fire, and that is to sense and decipher the auras of all creatures. This allows me to see whose spirit matches with whose, especially with my otouto’s for when he will mate. And he will mate. He and I are the last of our kind.”
“If you are th last of your kind, who will Naruto mate with?” Sakura asked. “I doubt that incest is acceptable in the continuation of your species.”
“So true, dearest lady.”
The title brought a possessive growl from Rock Lee, which the fox ignored.
“His specific breed being as unique as what it is, Naruto can mate with another canine and still produce one of our kind. And if Naruto breeds with a different species of canine, it is possible an entirely new breed will be made. If he breeds with a wolf, for instance, he could possibly make ookami-versions of ourselves. I, on the other hand, must find a normal female fox to breed to reproduce. It is proving difficult to find a mate for myself when Naruto’s former owner is abducting all kitsune in hopes of finding Naruto.”
“That bastard is still trying to find him?” Neji burst out incredulously, speaking for the first time during the entire interlude.
“Well, now that you know of Naruto’s worth, I’m sure you can understand why,” was the reply.
Sakura changed to human form now that she was sure of the unlikelihood of attack from the kitsuneespecially since her strangely, more-than-normal-perceptive pups were bouncing and playing with the dignified blood-red’s tails as they usually did with Naruto’s. “Yes, but if Naruto was truly that special, why abuse and stunt his growth? Why not love and cherish the treasure you have so that he will become loyal to you rather than run at the first chance he gets?”
“That is not something I can answer, lady Sakura, for I have never done anything to hurt another creature unjustly.”
“You can see who Naruto is to mate,” Sasuke stated, unable to hold back. Regardless of the possibility that it would not be him, he still had the need to know who was to be with the golden kitsune. He had sat by and listened to every little thing until the urge became unbearably irresistible. “What is it? Have you found him or her?”
“Yes, indeed I found him…. Naruto is mated….to you, Sasuke of the Pack Black. And if you hurt my otouto in the slightest possible way, you will sorely regret it.” With that being said, he turned to trot out of the wolves’ den.
“Wait! You didn’t give us your name,” Sakura said before he was gone. “Naruto will want to know the name of his aniki.”
“I am called Kyuubi,” came the level answer, and then he was gone.
Pack Black remained in silence. Then, after several minutes, Sasuke turned back to resume watch over his golden kitsune.
His mate….

Dagger: Well, that was a bit short. I’m a little disappointed in myself, but I didn’t want to make it too long and tedious. I’m hoping to end this after maybe two or three chapters more. All in all, it’s longer than I expected. I’m a little surprised I haven’t gotten bored with writing this yet. I hope this continues to go well. REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!!

Chapter Eight: Truth of the Tails
Naruto spent days in recovery, laying unconscious on Sasuke’s bed, breathing deeply and evenly. His vitals were stable and wounds healed, so all the pack was doing now was awaiting his return to the conscious world. Sasuke was loath to leave him, wanting to be there when the kitsune awoke. All four pups had been unharmed, and though Sakura scolded them for putting themselves in danger, they were all proud of the younglings for effectively protecting their ojisan.On the fifth day following the attack, a visitor arrived at the mouth of the pack’s cave. All the wolves bristled at the unfamiliar Halfling sitting there calmly. Then the pups yipped and ran to the visitor, admiring, greeting, and praising it.
