They stayed that way for a little while until Kyuubi decided to bring something up again, "Do you remember what happened during this last battle Naruto-kun?"
Naruto cracked open the eyes that he had subconsciously closed and frowned, "What about the last battle?"
"I mean do you remember the transformation you went through after that man stabbed you?"
Naruto gave a slight shake of his head, "No…all I remember was that teme puncturing me with his sword. After that my mind went blank and then I woke up here. Why? What kind of transformation did I do?"
Kyuubi frowned as she lifted her head from his shoulder and looked at him for a moment. After a while she tried to explain what she could, "Truthfully, I don't know. It looked similar to my own transformations. I have three different states of transformation. The one I am in now I like to call my Hanyou state. While in this state you can see my tails and ears, most of my power is also released in this state, except I can't cause natural disasters with a flick of my tail. The other two states I have are my human state and my kitsune state, both of which should be self-explanatory."
Naruto nodded, "And you're saying I have something like that?"
Kyuubi shrugged as her head went back on Naruto's shoulder, "As I said, I don't really know. It was similar to mine but also different. It could be one of your abilities that you gained when you became a hanyou, but I don't really know. The tomes I read said nothing about the abilities that a hanyou may have. And for all we know this could be something unique to you."
"I see…" Narutp paused, "We'll worry about that later. Until we figure out what's going on with my body, there's not much we can do."
"I suppose you're right."
Silence prevailed again for a few minutes until Naruto spoke up in soft voice, "Are you still mad at me?"
Kyuubi closed her eyes and sighed, "I was never mad at you. I was just…" she paused for as she tried to sort out her feelings in the jumble of emotions she had, "worried I guess. You blocked me out so completely that I could not even tell what you were feeling."
Naruto raised an eyebrow that went unseen by Kyuubi, "You were worried about me?"
Realizing what she said Kyuubi's eyes snapped open and she looked up at Naruto. She opened her mouth to make some kind of excuse when she saw the look in his eyes. Snapping it shut she tried to think of something to say before sighing, "…Yes, I was worried. Tell anyone I said that and not even Kami will save you from my wrath…" she paused for a moment before continuing, "I had always been able to tell what you were feeling, it's a side effect of the seal. However when you cut me off I could not feel anything, it was like the other times when I had been sealed…"
"You were sealed inside of more people than just me?" asked Naruto in curiosity.
Kyuubi swore as she realized she was giving him more information than she had ever intended, she briefly wondered if his was because of their close proximity or that damned annoying feeling of comfort the blond exuded. She resisted the urge to growl as she spoke again, "Yes, but I would prefer not to speak about it. Maybe someday, I'll tell you, but not today."
Naruto looked at her for a moment before nodding, "I guess I can live with that and…I'm sorry for ignoring you; I won't do it again…I promise."
The red haired vixen could not contain her smile. If there was one thing she learned about Naruto it was that if he promised something, you'd better believe he would do it.
"Don't worry about it…" A small gleam entered her eye as she spoke again as she realized he had given her an opening to get some kind of compensation for his stupidity. "However, I do think you owe me some compensation for worrying me so much. Especially after this last stunt you pulled."
Naruto blinked for a few seconds before shrugging, he supposed it was fair since he had almost gotten her killed through his actions, "What do you want from me?"
Kyuubi paused for a few seconds as she thought about what she wanted. It had to be something feasible, she couldn't ask for her freedom seeing as how even if he was willing to she was not sure he could give her freedom. She also knew he would not accept being her slave, not only did her charms not work like they normally did but he was far too strong willed. And she was sealed so it would not really matter anyways.
As she thought a little more an idea came to her, "Okay, what I want you to do is quite simple." When she was sure she had Naruto's attention she continued, "I want you to spend more time with me. When you go to sleep your mind doesn't need to rest in the same way your body does, since most of it stays active anyways. From now on I want you to come into the seal whenever you sleep and spend your nights with me."
"N-Nights with you?" Naruto squeaked as his face did a Hinata and turned so red one might think he popped a blood vessel. A small trickle of blood also escaped his nose as his mind went straight down the gutter. Never let it be said that Naruto was not a hot blooded male.
"Not like that Naruto-kun," Kyuubi sighed in exasperation, though a part of her was not…unreceptive to the thought of intimacy with the blond. The thought had actually passed through her head once or twice, loath as she was to admit it. He was intelligent, he was strong and would only get stronger as time passed; he had that odd warmth that she could still feel as he held her. And most importantly of all, he was not human. If she ever wanted a relationship or intimacy with anyone, Naruto was the only person that she could feasibly be with. The thought left an odd resonance in her mind, she may have joked about sex a few times but she had never truly desired it. It something humans did and there had never been anyone who she would consider worthy of such an honor.
She shook her head of the thoughts and focused on the now, "I just want you in the seal with me so I have someone to talk to. It gets awfully…" she paused before finally admitting another issue she had, "lonely here in your mind." She did not mention there was actually another voice in his mind. Kyuubi did not like talking to her anyways.
"I didn't think you felt lonely," Naruto commented.
Kyuubi frowned before deciding that since she was being honest, she might as well explain herself. "I am the only one of my kind Naruto-kun. Yes, there are other Bijuu but they are mindless beasts compared to me. They are creatures of instinct, even humans have a more complex thought process then they do. The other Bijuu are terribly stupid and the only thing they can do is cause mass amounts of pointless destruction, the few that I have seen actually tried to attack me. They cannot hold an intelligent conversation, and from what I understand they only gain a form of intelligence after they have been subdued by whoever they are sealed into and by that point…"
"I see…" Naruto frowned as he thought about her request for a moment, and though surprised decided to agree. Not like he had any better way to spend his nights, "I can do that."
