AN: Hey everybody!!! Welcome to my first fanfic ever!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! As this is my first fic I would greatly appreciate feedback on it. This is actually my first time writing something other than for school.

Weird, huh?

OK, one more thing and then the story. Pleeeeeease refrain from giving one- or two-word reviews and bad flames. I will accept flames but again please at least give me some advice other than "go fuck yourself" or "die......just die". Many thanks.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything thats naruto related that i actually get paid for. If i did own naruto he'd be kick ass strong, sasuke would be proven as the little fag that he is(no offense gay people i love all kinds), and sakura would be proven as the little whore she is.

'What did I do?'

That was the only thought running through Naruto Uzumaki's mind. He was running for his life.

'Why do they hate me?'

He felt the stab of a metal object hit his shoulder. He just kept running. It only added to the cuts, scrapes, bruises, and other stabs that he'd accumulated on this day, his 7th birthday.

'What did I do?'

Naruto dived under a cart to avoid the drunken rage of the mob chasing him. If not for his amazing stamina, he would've already been at he frenzied villagers' mercy. Naruto knew he was reaching the edge of the village and that the chance of escaping was very small. The memory of how it all started was still fresh in his mind.

Flashback

Naruto was on his way to the Hokage's Tower like the Sandaime had told him to do on his earlier birthdays. Just a few minutes after leaving his rundown, rat-hole of an apartment, a small group of drunkards blocked his path.

"Wheres do youse think yur goin', demon?" One slurred.

"T-to the H-Hokage." The scared boy stuttered out.

"You're not gonna kill Hokage-sama on our watch, monster!" a more sober one yelled. He threw an empty bottle of sake at Naruto, who just barely caught it, but it slipped out of his hands and shattered. This caught the attention of a few others that felt more than a little hatred for the Kyuubi. Soon the mob formed, shouting for the "demons" head. Normally Naruto would high-tail it to the Hokage, but the malicious villagers were blocking all ways to the Tower. He started to back away when a chuunin appeared in front of him. Naruto thought he was saved until the ninja turned around and, with a smirk, threw 3 shuriken at him. He dived out of the way and started to sprint as fast as he could.

As soon as he took off they followed close behind, hell-bent on his death and avenging their loved ones. Soon other civilians and shinobi, from chuunin to some ANBU, were chasing him. They threw anything they could grab; broken bottles, pipes, rocks, shuriken, kunai, and one ninja even placed an explosive tag on one of his kunai. Needless to say that bought in a few ANBU patrols nearby. One such ANBU had an Inu mask on.

Flashback End

Naruto turned around enough to see the "Inu" making handseals and tried to jump out of the way of a giant fireball. Suddenly he felt an intense pain in his back. He felt the flames scorch his back and he knew there was going to be a horrible scar afterwards. The boy felt another pain in his kneecap and looked down to see a couple of shuriken sticking out of him. This caused him to stumble and fall to the ground. Naruto looked ahead of him and saw a huge, dark-looking forest in his view. He started crawling away in a desperate attempt to flee. An instant later the mob was on him. They were kicking, punching, stabbing, biting, hitting, and everything else imaginable. Soon a loud, sickening crack was heard. A blood-curdling, bone-chilling scream let out of his maw.

"AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!"

Not a second later he was held in unconscious' sweet, cold embrace. One thought haunted his mind until everything turned black.

'What did I do?'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

'Kit…….' Nothing.

'Kiiit……..' Still nothing.

'Wake up, boy!!!!' Naruto snapped awake at a thundering voice. He found himself somewhere unfamiliar. It was a gigantic room, pipes covered the ceiling and the upper wall, the wall itself seemed a yellow-greenish color that screamed 'SEWER!', the floor looked and felt like concrete with puddles of water in random spots, and finally, the last thing that really made this weird place complete, there was a giant gate that reminded the blonde of a jail cell with a piece of paper where the gates should open. On the piece of paper was the kanji for the word "seal."

To Naruto, it was all a little freaky and it seemed almost like dream. Then he saw it. Two giant, blood-red eyes that flowed with malice and hatred. Below them was what looked like a huge grin that promised all a slow, painful death at this……… creature's enjoyment. When he looked closer, he saw it was actually a fox, albeit a 30-story, powerful-looking fox. At first Naruto didn't know how to react, though he knew his first instinct was to fear this beast. But he was never one to back down.

"You talking to me, furball?!" He yelled back.

Said furball's eyebrow twitched.

'Do you have any idea who you are speaking to, boy?! I am the Kyuubi no Kitsune, Lord of all demons, Strongest of the Great Nine, King of Foxes, and Ruler of the 9th and largest layer of Hell! You will show me respect!'

Naruto ducked and covered his ears during the fox's booming introduction. When it was done, he thought a moment. Something was out of place. Then it clicked.

"You can't be the Kyuubi!!!! The Yondaime killed that demon, like, 6 or 7 years ago!!!" He accused, pointing a finger at the beast. "Where the hell am I anyway?!" pulling his hair.

Kyuubi just chuckled at his antics, 'Foolish kit, do you truly believe a mere mortal could defeat a Demon Lord?' He saw a bit of doubt in his young eyes. 'Exactly. Now as to your last question, we are inside your mind.'

"Really? Seems kinda empty….." Then he realized what he just said and flushed with embarrassment, making the Fox Lord howl laughing.

When it quieted down, Naruto thought of something. "Hey fox, if we're in my mind, why are you here? Everyone said that the Yondaime killed you."

Kyuubi sighed and spoke in a semi-almost-guilty tone, 'That's one of the reasons I brought you here, kit. The first reason was to get you away from that mob of humans.' He said with venom in his voice, 'The second reason was to tell you why those idiots hate and beat you. Be forewarned, the information I have for you is not to be taken lightly.'

At this little tidbit, Naruto stood at full attention. "You know why they hate me?" he asked in a small way.

'Yes, but I won't tell you if you don't want to know. Though I believe you need to learn this now, rather than later.'

Possibilities swirled in his young mind. He decided to weigh his options. On one hand, he could forget everything that happened and continue to live in ignorance. Blissful, painful ignorance. On the other hand, he could finally learn why he was treated so badly. He had tried to ask his Jiji, the Hokage, but he always swerved around the questions. The boy also had a strange, gut-feeling that the demon could tell him of his lineage, though he didn't know how. And his gut-feelings were usually right.

"Would you happen to know who my parents are?" he asked softly.

This caught the Kyuubi off guard slightly, but he had a feeling it would come eventually. He knew the boy wasn't dumb. 'I have my suspicions, but I'll save that for last.'

The ramen-lover nodded, accepting that with a small amount of hope in his eyes. He weighed his options again, decided, steeled his mind and eyes, and said with unwavering determination, "Alright Kyuubi, I have a feeling you know things I have been wanting to know for years. As I would much rather die with a horrible truth than live in a numbing ignorance, please, tell me why I'm treated the way I am."

Kyuubi felt some pride after the kit's small speech, though he'd never admit it. He spoke again after a little silence. 'Get comfortable kit, this is gonna take a while.' Naruto walked to the cage, got in-between the bars, and sat against one of the huge, metal pillars. The fox raised a furry eyebrow at his containers questionable seat, but didn't comment on it.

'OK, where to begin? Well for starters, I'll tell you what I am. I'm what's called a bijuu, or tailed-beast. There are only nine bijuu. I'm the most powerful one of the nine, hence my nine tails. One day I was sleeping in my den, completely content with the world, when I felt an intrusion through one of the many seals placed in my home. At first, I thought it was just another mortal after either my power or my treasure. Usually I just ignored them, because I had demonic traps set up throughout my den, but that one was different. About 30 minutes later, against my better instinct, I grew curious. Normally, the screams would be echoing off the walls, yet it was deadly quiet. There was a sudden flare of chakra behind me, but when I turned around, very powerful red eyes looked directly into mine. Then everything went black.'

He let everything soak in before continuing.

'When I awoke, I was facing the toad boss, Gamabunta, and his summoner, a blonde human, with an infant in his arms. There was the sight and scent of death all around us, not that I minded; it was just a little odd. Next thing I knew, the Shinigami appeared, ripped my soul from out my body, and placed it in the infant. Then he took the blonde human's soul as payment for his services. Without souls to hold us together, our bodies dissolved. I woke after blacking out, again, in this place. It wasn't until a few days later that I figured out what happened and, to say the least, I was pissed.'

Kyuubi was slightly amused by the 'blonde furred' kit's reaction. If his jaw was any lower, it would've popped off. His eyes were bigger than the fox thought possible and were bulged out of his head. Naruto was way beyond shocked. Then it hit him like ten of Tsunade's chakra-enhanced punches.

"I-I was t-th-the b-baby, wasn't I?"he stuttered out, trembleing.

'Yes.' He answered with a small bit of sadness and guilt.

It all made sense. The beatings, the glares, the shouts of "demon" or "monster,"
all the hate. It all clicked. People knew about the Kyuubi, and they were trying to avenge those they lost in the attack, those they lost. He was a monster. A demon.

Sensing his containers thoughts heading south, Kyuubi decided to interrupt the once-lively blonde, 'Kit, you need to know something. You are NOT a demon or monster or whatever else those morons call you. I may be a demon, but even demons wouldn't treat children the way you've been treated.' He then did something that surprised both Naruto and himself. Kyuubi no Kitsune grabbed the boy with one tail and pulled him close into what one would call a hug. Well, given the fact that Kyuubi was the size of the Hokage Monument and Naruto was barely the size of his pupil. Naruto was, at first, very afraid of what happened. He thought the Demon Lord was going to kill him, but this was not expected at all. Soon, however, he leaned into Kyuubi's chest and did something he hadn't done in a long time. He cried. He sobbed until the stress of everything that happened took its toll, hit him full blast, and knocked him out.

Kyuubi held him while he was sobbing and thought, 'Where in the home did that come from?! I haven't been this close to anything since Shukaku-otouto and Nibi-hime. What's happening to me?' He laid Naruto down on one of his paws when the kit fell asleep and covered him with one of his mighty tails. He watched with interest as Naruto began to fade away, regaining consciousness. 'We'll speak again soon, kit.'

AN:And that's all I wrote!!!! I know some of you may think Kyuubi is OOC, but that will be explained in later chapters.

Now pairings....... I originally planned on this to be a straight NaruHaku cuz there are so little of those out but now im thinking of adding another. This won't be a harem so sorry if you think it should be. I'll only add one other girl. I have a few choices in mind already but i wanna hear what you all think.

There are only 2 exceptions to this, Sakura and Hinata. Sakura because every time she comes out in anything i wanna punch in the throat. Hinata because, although i did love the pairing, if you read too much of it, it gets kinda stale. Other than that its free game.

So my friends until next time, be sure to review, and ill see you next chapter!!!!!!!!!
