The peace that was waking up next to Naruto was unlike anything Kurama had ever felt before. There was no conflict, no strife. Just Naruto's arm holding her as she slept. It was more than she could have asked for. She smiled as she snuggled back into Naruto's chest.

Her first day as a human could wait just a few more minutes.

For what seemed like a blissful eternity she lay there just feeling Naruto's rhythmic breaths. Everything felt so much more detailed than when she was a fox. The warmth of Naruto felt warmer, the coldness of her toes un sheltered by the blanket felt colder. And the sensation of Naruto touching her was amazing.

It was like somebody had taken her body out of a glove for the first time to feel everything. Even the smells somehow smelled smellier, the sounds crisper. All of her senses flared with new and wonderful sensations as they were no longer muted by being the Kyuubi.

Naruto finally stirred and squeezed her tighter against him, his hands sending a thunderstorm of tingles along her spine with each motion. He pressed his lips to the top of her head planting a soft kiss among her hair. "Good mornin' Kurama."

The way he said her name with such love and warmth in it made her heart flutter and smile grow. But he wasn't going to get off that easy, there were many firsts she wanted today. The first of which she could be taking right now.

With no warning or hesitation, she pulled herself up to kiss Naruto. For a moment they sat there with their lips touching. Where were the fire works? This was sweet but it felt lacking, all the books she read said that a kiss with someone she loved was supposed to be amazing.

Then Naruto began to move kissing her back. Hormones flooded through her body like wildfire igniting every nerve of her body causing her to squirm. She started to move to it was awkward at first then she matched him and the pleasure was doubled.

The books were wrong. There were no fireworks going off in her head. It was more a raging river whose shores were scorched with fire.

Naruto pushed her back flipping on top of her as he continued to suck on her lips like a wild animal kept from food for far too long. He held her arms to the bed above her head. This assertive side of Naruto was driving her wild.

When at last they parted a bit of drool connecting them still, they stared at each other mouths still slightly agape, and eyes wide with amazement. Naruto swallowed looking ready to kiss her again at any moment.

"Hi." her word was little more than a breath lost in the tangled heat between them. Her lips tingled with the excitement that was her first kiss, eagerly awaiting the next one and the next one.

The second kiss was much slower than the first every movement measured as they explored and learned the other. A promise of more kisses to come.

"I can't believe this is real," Kurama muttered sometime between their fourth and fifth kisses. She could get used to her life being measured in kisses. She was human something she never thought was possible, she no lung acted as a sink well of hatred gorging on despair and misery and compounding it within her.

Naruto brought a hand up to her cheek and caressed it. She nuzzled into his palm and stared up at him, just enjoying finally being so close to Naruto. He felt the same, she could see it in his eyes, feel it in his touch, hear it on his breath. "You're so beautiful."

"I am?" Kurama squirmed under his loving look a blush coming onto her face. It was her first time being called beautiful, she didn't even know what she looked like. What did she look like? She told naruto she wanted to look like Shuujin, but did he follow through? "Is there a mirror? I want to see what I look like."

Naruto nodded and slide of the bed allowing the chill morning air to crash into Kurama full force. Goose bumps broke out on her body for the first time. It only made her longing for Naruto's warmth all the more potent.

"Sakura thought you might want to see what you look like, so she brought this mirror in." Naruto held his hand out towards her while he pointed at the full body mirror leaning against the wall. She recognized the name as one of Naruto's friend, and one of the few people that knew who she really was.

Kurama took Naruto's hand and her bare feet hit the cold hard floor that was slightly slick, like ice that wasn't wet. Frozen foot fall after frozen foot fall Kurama held her breath until at long last she saw herself for the first time.

There standing in the mirror, dressed in hospital ground of no particular color, was herself. The reflection was simply her, there was no other way to describe it. She had her long shining hair that was her favorite color of red, her large sharp eyes were a brilliant shade of green, everything was her from the shape of her pinkie to the nape of her neck.

Tears welled from her eyes. This, this was her. Pure and simple. She choked back a sob as she refused to so much as even blink. "Thank you, Naruto."

Her knees buckled and she began to fall, only for Naruto to catch her. He guided her back to standing his arm both supporting and protecting her. "For what?"

"For everything." She whispered staring at their reflection now. She didn't know that something had been missing until she saw the whole picture.

Naruto sat patiently for Kurama to exit the changing room. The moment Sakura had discovered that they were awake she had whisked his still confused girlfriend off into parts unknown for proper feminine… stuff.

Which is far as he could tell included shopping, shopping, and more shopping. Still, he couldn't help but smile, Kurama was at least pretending to get along with Sakura - In that, he hadn't heard Kurama threatening Sakura with fire and brimstone and that the store was actually still standing.

"What? No! I'm not going out there in this!" Kurama's voice came from behind a curtain. It was still rather amazing how fast Konoha had rebuilt itself after Pein's attack, and with having a giant tree grow out of nowhere and wreck a few things.

"Oh come on you look amazing, don't you want to impress Naruto?" Sakura's voice chided, and a few moments later a pair of feet appeared below the door. Kurama was still barefoot.

"Well yes but I-" Kurama was cut off as she was shoved out from the curtain directly in front of Naruto. She caught her balance before she fell onto the ground with her arms out stretched. She had on a white sundress with red flowers that showed off her curves. A pair of red framed glasses adorned her face.

Naruto felt his heart skip a beat as Kurama's lovely verdant green eyes blinked at him behind the glasses. How on earth was it possible for somebody to be so beautiful, sexy, and adorable all at once.

"I umm," Kurama stammered a blush growing on her face. Flailing her arms she struck a sexy pose with one arm behind her head and another extended towards him as she stuck her chest out towards him, exposing a bit of her porcelain cleavage. She winked painfully slow at him. "Hey there… Hot stuff."

"You know for an ancient Demon you sure are great acting like an awkward shut in." Sakura laughed from the curtain.

Naruto ignored her, his eyes were glued on Kurama and only Kurama. He wasn't even aware he stood up until he had his hand around Kurama's waste and he had pulled her into another kiss. Her lips were addictive, no worse than that, it was like he had gone his entire life without breathing only to discover how much he needed to breathe. When they parted her blush was gone and she had one hand gripping his shirt tightly. "You don't have to flirt with me, I already told you I love you."

Kurama sighed and pressed her forehead into his chest. "Yea, but I want to do stuff like the books, So I'm going to flirt with you and you're going to like it."

"Well, my job's done here, Naruto she has two bags of clothes that you'll need to pay for and take home." Sakura walked out of the room with a satisfied smile on her face. "Now to go find Sasuke."

Naruto looked at the bags and felt his wallet growing lighter by the moment. A kiss on his jaw from Kurama made it all worth it.

"Do you want to get Ramen?" She whispered into his ear, making his body feel hot from sexual tension. "I'll try to feed it to you."

Naruto kissed her again, harder and longer than before. "Is it too soon for me to ask you to marry me?"

Kurama smiled, tracing her fingers along his jaw as she grabbed one of the bags of clothes. "No, but I do want a ring, and for you to do it some place fancy, not in a clothing store."

AN: I ended up cutting a scene where Sakura and Tsunade did doctor stuff to Kurama and they gave her glasses because she's farsighted... She kept the glasses because a good pair of glasses makes everybody sexier. Anyways, this series is like in pure fluff mode now. Now I just need to like... decide if I want to do a wedding or, call it good here.
