Two Foxes and a Bat.
Summary: When the Chidori and the Rasengan clashed for the final time at the Valley of the End, the influx of power sent Naruto deep into the Makai…and coincidently right into Yoko Kurama's lap. Uh-oh…how's he getting out of this one? Warning: Heavy doseages of Yaoi and AU (In the case of the Yu Yu Hakusho realm).
Disclaimer: I, The Unknown Thing of Unknown Origins (at least thats what my doctor told me) do not own anything to do with Naruto or any other anime.

Chapter one: Where the Hell am I?
The skies mourned as the youngest Uchia stared at the spot where his once-upon-a-time teammate used to be. Narrowing his spinning red eyes he growled softly, it didn't make any sense! One moment he was about to drive the Chiori through Naruto's chest and the next he's falling to the water compleatly alone after watching Naruto fade from sight. There was no one else here to cast a Jutsu of that sort and neither he nor Naruto had cast it themselves since Naruto had looked so surprised and Sasuke would have remembered using it.
What had caused it? The effect occured right after the Rasengan and the Chidori met so maybe that had something to do with it? "Whatever..." He mumbled walking towards the Rice countrys' border, the Dobe had tried to stop him getting stronger so the idiot dissapearing was a blessing really...Yeah, thats right.
Ignoring the tight feeling where his heart was, he headed off to Orochimaru-the man who had promised him power.
Only moments after he dissapeared over the border line, his former teacher, Hatake Kakashi, arrived. His one eye widened at the sight of the damage done to the two monument statues standing on the battlefield as he looked every where for his two students, his heart ached when he felt Sasuke's chakra signature fade in the direction of Sound and when he felt no trace of Naruto's any where.
The back-up squad of ANBU arrived a few minutes after and began their search for Naruto, unable to go after Sasuke since he had crossed the border.
Finally after hours of searching they gave up: there was no sign of the blonde anywhere and the only clue they found was a large imprint of the boy's chakra suspended in mid-air. The clue, however, was a dead end and for now, the bright sunny boy could only be presumed dead or worse.
Kakashi left with an aching chest knowing he had failed his Sensei and dread scince he knew he would have to tell Tsunade the news about her little brother...
----------------With Naruto------------
Three words: What. The. FUCK!?
'I'm floating, how the hell am I floating? The last thing I saw was a Psycho Seal Sasuke...and his big ass Chidori-thingy heading straight for my heart, damn-it he's gonna go join that snake-prick now that I'm not there to stop him-' "SHIT!"
Looking around all he saw was blackness; though it wasn't dark since he could see himself quite clearly, huh? Strange...
After a few moments of sitting (floating) he decided to try some thing: he started to immitate swiming and surprisingly he moved. He could feel the air around him moving on his skin as he 'swam' through the darkness trying to find a way out.
After a while of aimlessly dog paddling he finaly saw a light that stretched along the apparent 'horizon' of the darkness he was in, it went on for as far as he could see. As he got closer he noticed that the stretch of 'light' was actually some-sort of long, glowing gold net and the black space he was 'swiming' in also had a 'floor' and a 'roof'.
Feeling a bit curious he moved in closer and spotted a small opening in the net, that looked more like a rip than any thing, and moved to go through it-which turned out to be a bad idea...a very, very bad idea.
The net grabbed onto his skin sending large jolts of... something through him but whatever it was hurt like a bitch. Screaming in pain Naruto tried to remove him self fron the net like wall but it only made the net wrap itself around him pulling him forcefully to the other side.
In the exact moment when he was caught between one side of the net and the other Kyuubi woke up (though he had no idea when exactly it had fallen asleep scince he was awake earlier) and started shouting about somethig called a Kekkai barrier and how Naruto was an idiot for going anywhere near it. The pain increased ten-fold as Kyuubi attempted to take over and quote "Get your sorry ass out of yet another life-threatning situation that you seem to attract like a magnet." end quote.
As Kyuubi attempted to pull them away however, something strange happened: the fire that felt as if it were buring him inside out changed to a sort of liquidy feel, like his body was made of water and every thing felt as though it was coming togerther in to one-it felt nice...well nice excluding the burng pain just above his ass!
Shit the burning had came back, though it was only on his head, ears and ass, he also noticed that they were free of the net, though which side they were on he didn't know. He tried to call Kyuubi to ask what the hell was going on but...Kyuubi didn't answer him...he answered himself: some how he knew that he and the fox were fusing, he knew this cause he now knew what the fox knew which was strange. And confusing.
After who knows how long (you couldn't tell the time here) the pain came to a stop...and so did his ride. He screamed: some how the dark surroundings he had just been in had changed: he was now falling from the sky (very quickly I might add) towards a very big forest.
'Wait a minute! Make that very, very, very, very big! Those trees are huge! How the heck am I gonna find my way around this place?! WHERE IS THIS PLACE?!! I wanna go home!'
And so our storys' hero fell to his doom...screaming all the way (A/N: pfft, as if I'd et him off that easy).
----Somewhere far below Naruto----
Two figures lay stretched out underneath a...well, lets just say it's a very big tree, ahem anyway two figures lay quietly staring off into space, one of these figures was dressed all in white while the other was decked out all in black. Both of these figures seemed to be in their own little worlds calmly ignoring the world around them untill: "Yokoooo, I'm bored." The aforenamed Kitsune, known commonly as Yoko Kurama, looked over at his partner, the bat demon Kuroune, as he began to shift about restlessly.
He sighed: it was always like this, in the time they used to recover from injuries ( if they had any) after a heist Kuroune would get rather irratable since he couldn't do anything fun (read: risk his life for some amazing treasure of priceless value) and he would begin to pester Yoko to cut short their break to go get their amazing treasure of priceless value.
"Kuroune..."
"Yeah?"
"...shut up."
He pouted. Yoko never let him do anything fun after they stole stuff. It wasn't his fault he was bored. He suddenly smirked as devious thought entered his mind, he knew the perfect way pass the time: Baiting the Yoko.
"If I can't have any fun after we go on heists then maybe I'll stop stealing with you."
Of course they both knew it was a ploy for Yoko to give in and snap at him, which would eventually lead to a Kuroune wrapped in vines but...Yoko wanted to play along.
"Fine, I'll go without you. But remember all those really rare treasures you like?"
("Yeah?So-hey... what's that noise?")
"You can't get things like those with out being at your best on a heist,"
("Yoko I think I hear something...")
"If you want to rush in be my guest. Just remember:"
("Yoko...")
"You kneed to work yourself hard for this stuff."
("Hey look out!!")
"I mean it's not like it falls out the sky-"
"Move!"
CRASH!!!
"Oooww..."
"Get off of me-gah-ow! Hey! Watch where you put your putting your feet!"
"What do you mean watch my feet? My feet are nowhere near you now move it!"
Once the general chaos of cussing and tangled limbs had been sorted, the two theives got a good look at the new arrival:
Long, flowing gold locks framed a round, lightly tanned male face that was adorned with a small, pert nose and full, kissable pink lips. The eyes that were shut were rimmed with pale lashes and perched upon the boys head were a pair of slightly twitching Fox ears.
A quick glance at the young male's rear confirmed Yoko's suspicions when he saw a golden foxtail slightly curled around the boy's thigh: the little one was a Kitsune.
Curiously, Kuroune traced one of his clawed hands down the newcomer's left cheek: the blonde boy had what appeared to be six whisker-like scars decorating his face in parallel lines, three on each side of his face. They seemed to add to the ferral quality the boy possesed though it was odd: Kitsune faces tended to be free of any and all sorts of markings.
A groan interrupted his thoughts as the blonde Fox stirred slightly, brows creasing as the boy's eyelids fluttered open revealing a pair of the bluest eyes either of the two demons had ever saw, even water demons didn't have eyes that pure! For a moment the boy looked at them with a blank expression, brows furrowed in confusion. That was until the Golden Foxes eyes widened impossibly before he moved his hands forming a strange sign after which he promptly burst into smoke.
After the smoke dispersed the two demons saw that instead of seeing the boy, they found in his place a large round wooden log with faint traces of the Kit's energy.
Now, Yoko had no idea what the Kit had just done. What he did know, however, was that his plants were telling him that the Gold Fox was heading towards his and Kuroune's secret stash of goods...SHIT!!!
Naturally he came to the conclusion that every kleptomaniac Kitsune came to:
"THIEF!!"
