Heya I'm Neko! I am here to introduce the Naruto fanfic I've promised. I had to ask for permission to use some of the ideas.

Disclamer: I do not own Naruto. I do however have the mangas!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Naruto got ready for bed he winced as he re-counted the day's events. He had gotten beaten by Sasuke so bad that he seriously considered not going to practice tomorrow. He felt the numerable goose eggs on his head. He knew he would be in some major pain tomorrow. The other bumps had started to go down but two remained. He wondered why. His rear end also hurt a lot.

"Oh yeah." He muttered "Sasuke threw me into the ground."

He sighed and struggled into the sheets. Every muscle hurt. He wondered why he even went up against Sasuke. He wasn't feeling very well that morning, and then again he could never turn down a sparing practice against Sasuke.

Ah he fell into a fitful sleep he didn't realize the red Chakra flowing over him.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The fox demon, better known as Kyubi watched Naruto struggle through the night. He gave a weary smile as he realized that Naruto would blame him for what was going on. He didn't care. Still, tomorrow proved it's self to be quite interesting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naruto woke up; first thing he realized was that he wasn't sore anymore. That was a relief. He realized Kyubi must have healed him. Naruto knew better than to say anything but he also knew that the fox had grown considerably warmer to him over the past few months, ever since he released the Toad Boss.

Naruto mused why the fox would like him as he walked into the bathroom. He looked into the mirror and......

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Kakashi who was walking below Naruto's house and who was late again heard the yell, followed by some pretty imaginative curses.

He smiled and walked on knowing its best not to disturb Naruto and whatever happened. Probably burned some ramen or something.

Meanwhile Naruto was inside yelling at the demon inside him. Kyubi simply sighed and tried to block him out. Even if it was pretty amusing......

Naruto having his own issues turned his attention to the mirror. Through his golden hair came two fluffy golden yellow ears. His whisker marks were still there and hadn't changed thank god. His incisors were longer than usual and if he had smiled he'd look even more fox like than usual. And the last thing he found was a gold-yellow tail that now swished angrily as he once again started to yell at Kyubi.

"Stupid fox! What the hell happened?"

"................."

Naruto didn't even try to bother with the demon. He knew he had to go to practice but how? He saw his forehead protector and got an idea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"That dobe is late." Said Sasuke in an annoyed tone.

"Naruto is normally late but not later than Kakashi." Said Sakura

"Hmmmmm?" Kakashi lent an ear to the conversation but didn't look up from his book.

Today team 7 was training in the forest. A repeat of yesterday if you will.

"Maybe he won't come because he is too embarrassed to show his face." Said Sakura

Just then Naruto came into the clearing. His forehead protector was tied in top of his head rather than on his forehead and his stomach looked a little puffy.

"Oooooh, ate too much Ramen last night dobe?" asked Sasuke tauntingly.

Naruto scowled. "Of course not, baka Sasuke."

Sasuke smirked. "Could have fooled me." He said

Kakashi found this to be a good time to intervene.

"Now, now. I think it's time for some sparring. Naruto, Sasuke, do you two wish to wish to continue yesterday's battle.

"Yes!" said Naruto

"I though we'd finish that." Sasuke muttered

"What did you say baka?"

"You heard me dobe."

"Okay! Let's start this." Kakashi was getting ever so slightly annoyed

Naruto and Sasuke got into their positions. And with out looking up from his book Kakashi let his hand fall. "Go!"

Naruto and Sasuke launched themselves at each other heading for straight hand to hand. They pulled out their kunai's and started to attack matching blow for blow. Naruto wasn't ready to be able to match speed with Sasuke. Kyubi watched with interest not only had Naruto's physical appearance changed but his whole ability was on a different level. Sasuke wasn't quite ready to deal with the change.

He jumped back eyeing Naruto uneasily. There was no way someone could gain that much speed in one night.

He launched what he had hoped to be his final attack. He flew into Naruto hoping to finish it. They slid along the ground and then Naruto threw him off. Both got up slowly.

Naruto's protector had come loose and one fuzzy ear popped out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura, Sasuke and even Kakashi stared a Naruto. Naruto who was currently oblivious vaguely wondered why they were staring at him.

"Kit your bandana came loose." Said a voice in his head

"What? How?" Naruto struggled with words he settled on one that summed up everything pretty well.

"Shit!" he said

Sasuke was the first to speak. "Yeah, that says quite a bit."

Kakashi went over to Naruto. He leaned down next to him and went to eye level. "Naruto is the fox taking over?" he asked quietly

"As if!" Kyubi snorted

Naruto shook his head. "I don't know what happened. I just woke up like this. I planned to go to the old hag after this was over to see if anything could be done."

Kakashi sighed. "I'll go get her. You can't go into public like that." He cleared his throat and raised his voice for all to hear. "You two stay with Naruto, I'm going to get the Fifth."

He looked back at Naruto. "I think you have some explaining to do."

Naruto nodded, wondering how the situation went so bad so quickly.
