Summary: Everyone is bounded to their other half by the red string of fate. Even Demons. No matter where, or when, they will always meet and be together even if it doesn't end well.

Author's Note: Hm! While browsing through some fanfics, I suddenly came up with this idea! A NaruxfemKyuubi romance fic! So for people who doesn't like femkyuubi or any romance related kyuubi, this is not your cup of tea or coffee. You have been warned.

I'm planning to make shorts with this one, and all of it will be AU with different settings and probably doesn't relate to each other much. Oh and my first attempt at lemon! Here goes!

Disclaimer: I do not own any Naruto related stuff that Kishimoto-sama created. Wish I do though.

FOX FESTIVAL

All of us isn't perfect. The reason why is because if we were perfect, we wouldn't need others. That is why everything is created in pairs.

There could be no Death without Life.

Man could not exist without Woman.

And so, just as Life is fated to Death, and Man fated to Woman, all of us are fated to our other half by the red string of fate. The red string will hold and bound us together through everything. When, where, what, how. It doesn't matter. They will always meet and be together. No matter the situation.

A blonde boy at the age of five was staring into was has to be the reddest eye he had ever seen. The eyes belonged to an equally red fox. Blue eyes looking into red ones.

Naruto had a strange feeling that he knew this fox before they even met. Is that even possible? Oh well...

The fox was growling at him, threatening him not to move any closer. Naruto didn't care. What could a fox caught in a bear trap do anyway?

The fox's growl increased in intensity but Naruto still didn't care. The fox's left front leg that was held by the trap was badly injured and if left alone, Naruto was sure that the fox would not hesitate to chew it off to escape.

Naruto's hand reached the trap's jaws, but the fox bit his left arm. He didn't scream, but let out a small whimper. The fox still look at him, eyes red with fury. He tried to release the trap, but the pain was hindering his progress.

Finally, the trap was released. But the fox still hadn't let go. Naruto then used his remaining hand to slowly pat the fox head, as if telling it that it was alright.

The fox then understood that the boy meant no harm, and released him. Naruto then flashed the fox a teary smile. He reached out to the fox again. The fox at first stiffened, but relents. Naruto then held the fox into his arms and brought it home.

Minato thought that it was strange. Normally, when Jiraiya brought his son hunting in the woods, they would usually bring dead hunts. This is the first time they, no, his son brought a live one.

Usually, Naruto didn't mind the dead animals. Heck, he had killed his own share of hunts; rabbits, foxes, and even dears.

But why suddenly he brought a live one? When the adults questioned the child, he just shrugged and said that he just felt saving it. Jiraiya waved it off, saying that probably Naruto wanted a pet for once. Minato wasn't sure if foxes make good pets while Kushina didn't mind. Probably because of the fox's red colour and eyes. Kushina jokes that Namikaze boys must have like red-headed vixens very much. Minato rolled his eyes at her remark and earned a smack at the head from his wife.

Tsunade also jokes that Naruto and the fox was meant to be together. Why? Well, the fox had a bad scar on its front left leg, while Naruto also had one on his left arm. Kinda like a lover's mark, or so Tsunade said. Kushina said it was romantic.

The fox and Naruto later on became inseparable. The fox, it turns out was female. Tsunade and Kushina couldn't stop smirking at this, with Kushina commented that her vixen remark was right.

The fox, which Kushina named Akane (Naruto wanted to named it Firefox and Akane bit him for it), would become very close with the family, especially to Naruto. Akane would assist in hunting with Naruto, although she would become somewhat hostile if they hunt foxes. Ever since then they stopped hunting foxes and switch to other games. She would also sleep with him.

It also provided a very good entertainment when Naruto brought Akane during 'bring your pet to school day'. Heh, it sure gave the principle, Sarutobi quite a shock.

Akane and Kushina also were quite close. Kushina treated Akane more like a daughter than a pet. And what's more, Minato swore that he saw Kushina talked to the fox as if she was talking to a normal person. Heck, when Naruto is at school, Kushina and Akane would watch the dramas together.

Minato could tell that the fox is more than it seems and Kushina knows something about it.

However, when Naruto started to hit puberty, Akane started to act strangely. She became...somewhat possessive and jealous? Especially when certain girls are around. Like that pink haired Sakura girl that Naruto had a crush on. Kushina said that the fox considered Naruto as her mate and didn't want any competition. Minato could only roll his eyes at the prospect of the interspecies romance. His wife is such a romantic at times.

Well, this created a rift between the two. Naruto really like Sakura, while Akane, when smelled her scent on him, would growl at him and wouldn't get near him. She treated the others fine though.

Now, a normal mom would normally support his son's romantic life with a normal person of the same species, but no...Kushina would side with Akane whenever she gave Naruto the cold shoulder.

This somewhat frustrates both Namikaze boys.

Kushina also didn't like Sakura very much. What if Naruto's boys got pink hair? PINK! The horror! The life that the poor boys have to go through! She didn't understand what Naruto sees in her. Maybe because of the almost-red pink hair? If he wanted a red head, there are others, like that Karin...ok no. She's like Sakura. Mei Terumi seemed to be a fine choice, if not a bit older than him, but age is not an issue in love, right?

Hmm...now that she thought about it, Naruto seemed to set his eyes on almost every girl with red hair. Well, probably he wanted someone like her mom!

Anyway...resuming trash-talking about certain bitch!

Sakura didn't even like Naruto and always fawning over the Uchiha brat. Pfft, please! Emo and bad boy image is so outdated. And if it weren't for that Uchiha, Naruto would have been popular now!

Naruto was exceptional, mind you. Smart, athletic, handsome and many more. His achievements easily at the same rank as Sasuke and they both were rivals. But girls, for some reason just flocked to him.

"Hmm...looks like you're the only one for Naruto after all, eh Akane-chan?" Kushina said to the fox. The fox bark for a 'hell yeah!'.

Okay, back to the story.

However one night, Akane woke Naruto up from his sleep.

"Wuh? Akane-chan, it's late..." Naruto said groggily to the fox. The fox then quickly got out of his room. Naruto thought that it was strange. Akane never disturb him at this hour before. So he got up and decided to follow Akane.

Akane was now outside of the house, waiting for him to follow her.

'O-kay...wonder what Akane is up to.'

Naruto quickly dressed up and went outside. It was full moon tonight.

Akane sprinted to the woods, but never out of sight. Naruto followed suit.

A few minutes later, they arrived at a large tree. It was a weird tree. Why? Well it's because at the base it was hollow, while the rest of the trunk isn't. It looked like a door and people would call it The Door Tree.

Akane entered into the 'door' and disappeared. 'What the!' Naruto looked around, seeing nothing but trees, decided to enter the door too.

The next thing he knew is that he's in some kind of a festival in a forest. 'Wha? Dammit! I knew I shouldn't drink that Four Loco! Even if it was only a small cup...stupid Kiba,' Naruto grumbled and slapped himself, trying to 'wake up' from the dream.

Realizing that he won't 'wake up' soon, he decided to look around. He realised that some of the festival's tenants are weird.

Some of them had...fox ears? And bushy fox tails too. The ears and tails looked real. The tails swished erratically, and the ears twitched and turned around like normal fox ears. What's more, the ears are located at the normal ear area for humans and not on top of the head like the usual Kemonomimi style. Naruto thought that the 'head-ears' are weird. If they have the 'head-ears', do they still have the normal ears? If so, that means they have FOUR ears! Creepy...If not, then the side of the head will be empty...kinda freaky. Naruto preferred this one much better.

'Nice! Wonder if I can get one?' he wondered.

Suddenly, a voice called out to him. Naruto turned to see the most beautiful and exotic woman in his life.

She wore a black kimono patterned with gold foxes with...nine tails? However, Naruto realised that she has a quite an impressive bust (she wore the kimono normally guys, that means no cleavage revealing kimono style), as evidenced by the large mound on her chest.

However, what captivate Naruto were her physical features. She has long fiery red hair that tied in ponytail with a very expensive hair pin made of gold with a jewel at one end and has fox ears like he'd seen before. She also has nine red fox tails, the most Naruto had seen on a person at the festival. The way those tails move are like flames dancing behind her.

But alas, she wore a fox mask with golden patterns. What is it with all the foxes today? Is this a fox festival or something? But Naruto could see her equally fiery red eyes...had he seen those eyes somewhere before?

Heck, Naruto had a feeling that she knew this person before.

Still, Naruto could tell that she is a beauty, a goddess even. Surely such mortal as he wasn't fit to be near her, right?

So Naruto turned around, trying to look if there's anyone behind him that she was calling instead.

"I'm calling you, you know," the foxy goddess said again. Her voice...angelic!

"Oh! O-ok..." Naruto stammered. His face was red, his heart was beating fast! Rarely did he have a girl call out to him. Normally it's the other way round.

'Did I do something? Or does she want something? Crap, on the day I got the chance to maybe date a beautiful girl and I have no money on me! Wait, this is my dream right? So I could just 'dream' up money!' Naruto mused.

The foxy lady was watching him with a grin. Happy knowing that he was charmed. "What? Say something! Am I so beautiful you have no words left?" she said (hehe, I kinda lifted this dialogue from somewhere; see if you guys can find out where).

'Shitshitshitshitshit!' "Wow! You must really like red huh, and foxes?" Naruto said. He then proceeded to mentally face palm himself.

The foxy lady giggled and shook her head. 'Damn, I must suck,' Naruto thought.

"So...a stranger in a strange land. What brings you here?" she said.

"My dream or...my fox? I'm not sure really," Naruto scratched his head.

"Do you prefer it to be a dream?" she asked.

"I...no. But if it were a dream, I wouldn't want to wake up," Naruto replied. 'Whaaa? Freakin' cheesy man!' Naruto did not know what had taken over his mouth.

Naruto could tell his answer delighted her. "Come, let me guide you for the night," she extended her left hand at him.

'Whaa? She wants to hold hands?' Naruto hesitated for a moment but decided to take the leap and hold her hand.

Naruto told her that he didn't have money on him but the lady didn't mind. She paid for everything. Naruto was a ashamed to have a lady paid for him and he promised to pay her back later. She said she didn't mind at all, and what's important is for them to enjoy.

Naruto was moved. No girl had even done this for him.

They then went around the festival, going from booth to booth. They went to the mask booth and got Naruto a fox mask too, except that his had black and gold patterns. Then to the dumpling booth to eat. It was delicious! The fox lady only pulled her mask upwards a bit, revealing only her mouth to eat. Naruto took a peak and saw that she has ruby red lips.

Still, Naruto realised something. A lot of guys; the normal and the fox guys were giving him looks. Looks that you get when you have a really, really hot girlfriend. He had even heard someone said "lucky bastard," His chest swelled with pride, knowing that he got the attention of what has to be the most beautiful lady at the festival.

After a while, the fox lady led him outside of the festival to a place secluded inside the forest. It was what has to be a place for people to make out. The place has beautiful lanterns like the ones at the festival hanging all over the place and Naruto could see a large circular bed with blue satin sheet and pillows.

'Does she want to do...what I'm thinking?' Naruto started to feel very nervous now. He's a virgin! Not like he wanted to remain virgin but having a very protective grandmother who's very fit for her age and equally fit mother with both having quite the temper doesn't leave you with much option.

The foxy lady sat down on the bed and looked at him. "So, all this time and you didn't even ask for my name,"

"Well...you didn't ask mine," Naruto replied sheepishly.

"Isn't it courtesy for the men to start introducing themselves first?" she tilted her head at him.

"I...yeah," Naruto scratched his head. Damn, no wonder no girls liked him. "But I had a feeling that...you already knew mine and me yours,"

"Really?" she got up to Naruto. "So...what's mine then?"

Naruto gulped. He then took the foxy lady's left arm and pulled her sleeve upwards to reveal a scar. "Akane-chan,"

'Akane' didn't respond. So Naruto took her mask off to reveal her face. She has three whisker marks on each cheek, but Naruto thought that it only made her more beautiful. Naruto cupped her right cheek and started to caress the 'whiskers'.

She closed her eyes and tilted her head to rub her cheek against his hand, like Akane-chan would do when he rub her face. "Naruto-koi..." she said dreamily.

Naruto was confused now. If this isn't a dream, then that means that Akane the fox was magical. Either Akane can shapeshift to human or she is human that can shapeshift to fox. Which one is it? But there's this feeling, that it feels right to do this...to do what he's about to do.

Naruto kissed her on the lips. Akane's shot wide open at first but closed again and she returned the kiss with a soft moan. At first it was tender soft kisses, and then it went deep.

Both tongues meet to taste each other and fought for dominance; neither wants to relent. Naruto couldn't believe it! How the heck can he kiss like this? This is his first kiss (wow, this sentence is weird, kinda like a tongue twister)! He felt like he had done this with her before...

Naruto then started to explore her neck and she moaned again, this time with more lust. Naruto nipped the base of her neck and earned a small 'ah!' from her.

Akane then put her hands on his chest and slowly pushed him away. Naruto was disappointed and confused. Did he do something wrong?

Akane then slowly walk backwards towards the bed while removing all article of clothing on her. However, before the kimono could fall, her tails covered her body and even her mouth, leaving Naruto with only a little peek here and there. He could tell that she was smirking behind that tail of hers.

'Fuckin' tease! It's on!'

Naruto move towards her and removed his clothing. One of her tail caressed his cheek. It was silky soft. The tail then moved towards his chest, as if it were a hand that was caressing him. Then when he was directly in front of her, the tails opened and revealed Akane in all of her glory.

Naruto was right, her breast is big! As big as his grandma's! Not that he had ever seen his grandma naked before, mind you, but she wore a cleavage revealing blouse, so he could tell how big it is.

Anyway, Naruto massaged her breast and Akane started to moan again and caused Naruto Junior to fully erect. Her tails then wrapped around Naruto, shielding anyone from seeing what was happening.

They both started to kiss again and this time, Akane climbed him. She wrapped her legs around his waist for support and her wet pussy made contact with Naruto Junior's lower shaft. Akane could tell that Junior is perfect for her*.

Naruto then grabbed her hips and start pushing her upwards and backwards like a piston and rubbing her pussy against his cock. Akane stopped kissing to release ragged moans and Naruto took this chance to attack her ears.

Her moans grew louder and he could tell that her ears are sensitive. An idea popped into his head; Akane usually had a somewhat erotic reaction when he scratched her rump. So he used one hand and scratched the base of her spine where the tails meet and used the other hand to finger her but hole.

Her reaction was as Naruto had wanted. Having most of all her sensitive spot stimulated, Akane released a full blown moan and cummed, releasing her love juices on the forest floor.

His back was full of scratches from his lover, but it didn't felt painful at all. "Akane-chan, no fair! I didn't even get to cum!" Naruto whispered into her ear.

"Well then, let's fix that shall we?" She whispered back with a hint of naughtiness. Naruto couldn't help but to gulped at this.

She then got to her feet, grabbed Naruto by the shoulders and threw him unto the bed. "Woah!" he didn't expect for her to be strong like that. Naruto's head landed on a soft pillow giving him the perfect angle to see what Akane was up to.

Akane got unto the bed and started to crawl with a look that reminded Naruto of a predator that has cornered its prey and was sure of the kill. And Naruto was the prey...

Akane reached his cock and licked her lips. She then licked the head and slowly progress to the base while massaging his balls. Naruto groaned and tried very hard to control his body from doing anything.

Akane then reached the bottom and licked the balls as if cleaning them. 'Fuckfuckfuckfuck! Hold on!' Naruto commanded to all of his body. They were having a hard time complying.

Precum started to leak from the tip and Akane realised this and lick it clean. She then swallowed his cock into her mouth and started to move back and forth.

Naruto could feel his limit. But no! He's a man! He must hold on for a little bit longer...

And then she sucked...hard. Still, he managed to hold on. Akane then released his cock. Naruto whimpered at this, wanting her to finish. Akane then flashed a devious smile and smothered most of his cock in between her breasts, leaving only the head. Imagine a hotdog.

'SHIT!' Naruto was now jerking his hips upwards, inadvertently causing friction between his cock and her breasts.

"My my my...little bit impatient, aren't we?" She said with a grin. Naruto just gave her a look as if saying 'shut up and move!'

Akane then cupped her breasts and move them through various motions while she licked, and then sucked the head. All of this she does it while looking at Naruto in the eyes.

They said that having sex with your eyes open and looking into your partner's eyes are much, much more intimate and satisfying. It couldn't have been truer.

The look she gave him has a feral determination and love, just for him.

He couldn't hold it anymore and released his cum inside of her mouth. Akane at tried to swallow all of it but it was too much and released the cock. The cum then showered her face and her breasts and covered much of it.

It was salty but she loved it. "Delicious," she said while licking the head.

"Fuck..." Naruto gasped as he looked into the beautiful night sky. 'Alright...this isn't a dream...this is heaven!'

"Naruto-koi, no fair! I didn't even cum!" Akane mock pouted as he returned his own words at him. Naruto looked at her again with a sly smile.

"Oh? Then this time, let's do it together, ne?" he said. Akane then smiled devilishly again and sit up to position herself above his cock. She then slowly lower herself and slid his still erect cock into her pussy, savouring every inch of him inside of her with a moan.

Once she had his cock inside her completely, they both look at each other. Naruto tilted his head, why would she stop?

She then spread out her all of her tail like a peacock. Except that peacock doesn't have anything on her. The moonlight shone on her and the white tip of her red tails began to glow. It was...breathtakingly beautiful.

"Naruto-koi, my eternal mate. I love you," she then started to move her hips upwards and downwards like a piston. Every movement, every sensation brought pleasure to their bodies and they both moaned with lust.

Naruto then put his hands on her thighs; her movement caused him to automatically massage it. Then, his hand slowly trail to her hips and to her breasts. He cupped it and starts to massage it. Akane then moaned his name loudly.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she thrust his cock into her deeply one last time and they both cum at the same time and screamed in ecstasy.

Naruto's load this time was a lot more than before that it leaked from her pussy. Akane collapsed unto Naruto's chest, his cock still in her and they were content with how it is. Both were panting, tired but more importantly, satisfied.

"Akane-chan," Naruto called her. Akane's ears perked up and she raised her head to meet his eyes. She knew what he was going to ask. This isn't the first time that all of this had happened before.

"Yes my love?" she said.

"We've met before haven't we? Even before...I was born?" Naruto asked. He knew that there's something between them when he first met Akane at the forest when she was caught in a trap.

Akane flashed a soft smile. "Yes, Naru-koi. In fact, we've even met when I was a single tail,"

"Whaa? That's...a long time ago!" Naruto knew about the lore surrounding the kitsune. A kitsune that lived long enough, probably around 100 years would grow a tail. Live another century and the kitsune grows another and so on until the max number of tails is 9.

That means, Akane is probably around 900 years old! Akane just gave him a nod and a hm-hum.

"In fact, the very first time we met was just like we did 9 years ago," Akane said while licking the cum that got onto her hand. "I was caught and you saved me from hunters. But of course, this time it was you who's hunting,"

"Wait, so you purposely let yourself get caught?" Naruto was flabbergasted. From what he had heard, a Kyuubi or a Nine Tailed Fox were very powerful and had almost reality warping powers. Why would she let herself get caught by him?

"Well, I thought it was ironic," she smirked at him. "And nostalgic, besides, I wanted to give you your mark,"

"This?" Naruto referred to his scar he got from Akane biting him years ago.

"Yup, this scar..." she referred to her own scar. "was from our first encounter. And I bit you just as you were trying to help me, just like 9 years ago,"

"So you're essentially replaying the event, huh?" Naruto sighed at her and she smiled. Devious, just like a fox. "But, what happened? Why am I...like this? And not...immortal like you?"

At this, Akane looked sad and avoided his gaze. "Because you're an idiot!"

"Huh?" Naruto was flabbergasted again. "You always got yourself into a fight, conflict or war. Even if it wasn't by your choice...and everytime...even no matter how hard I tried each time..." tears started to form in her eyes, and Naruto understood what she meant.

Naruto then cupped her face and wiped away the tears. "I'm sorry..."

Akane shook her head and hold his hands. "No, I understood. You had much bigger destiny for everyone. Each time, you fought, you end it. You brought change to everyone, brought happiness and love. Each time, you would create a revolution, a maelstrom. That's why, I didn't mind, because I knew you didn't die in vain and you would return to me each time, like tonight,"

Naruto was moved again. He couldn't remember much about his past. Just his feelings for Akane, but he was glad to know that he made a difference to a lot of people in the past. But this time, he would stay with his mate, and he won't go away, forever.

"Don't worry Akane-chan, just as you remain loyal to me forever, I will do the same. I love you Akane-chan. I love you forever," Naruto said and kissed her lips.

Naruto now realised why he did have those crushes on girls with red hair. He was trying to find a certain red hair all along. And all this time, she was with him, before, now and always.

Author's Note Again!: *Right, so the thing about my lemon is that I'm not gonna mention any sizes here. I don't want to put a penis that qualifies as a foot that can spear through a woman's cervix and into her stomach. If I said big, it's bigger than average but not giant big as a horse. Sorry if it doesn't roll with you guys but that's how I do it.

Anyway! My very first lemon! How was it? Is it bad? Too short? Too long? Too lemony? Or straight lemonade? Tell me!
