"He had hatred for them all –

hatred for his ignorant "friends" that pushed him so hard,

hatred for his teachers who seemed to care so little,

and, above all, hatred for the monster within him,

to whose level he was sinking so fast."

Chapter 1 - Broken

He leaned over the porcelain bowl, emptying his insides with a gag. Naruto grimaced as he flushed the toilet, watching the wasted ramen mingle with the water before vanishing from sight. He stumbled to the mirror, and winced when he caught sight of himself; he looked like shit, which made sense since he felt like shit. He let out a dry sob, fisting his hands in his blond hair.

"Fuck," he swore, tears falling down his whiskered cheeks. Lip trembling, he silently opened his bathroom cabinet, hands shaking as he fumbled around in an open leather pouch until he found what he was looking for. Pulling out the razorblade, Naruto let out a shaky breath, his cerulean eyes glazing over. He swallowed, raising the blade to his wrist.

"You said you would stop, brat."

Naruto's breath caught in his throat.

"Fuck off, you dumb fox," Naruto hissed, bearing his teeth. "I thought I told you to leave me the hell alone."

Kyuubi let out a deep, rumbling laugh. "You're truly delightful; …this is going to be the last time I'm healing you."

"I don't care," Naruto croaked, raising the blade to his wrist. Piercing his tan flesh, he hissed as he dragged the blade down his arm, a trail of blood forming in its wake. He marveled the feeling, the tingling pain that was shooting up his arm. He sat in silence for a long moment.

"You're running late."

Naruto snapped his eyes open, tears blurring his vision. "I-I'm not going tonight. I don't feel up to it."

"You think you have a choice?" Kyuubi questioned almost mockingly. "You know that pink-haired bitch is going to pound your sorry ass into the ground, and then drag you along, whether you want to go or not."

Naruto blinked a few times, before closing his eyes and licking his dry lips. "She doesn't know. She d-doesn't get it…"

"No one gets it," Kyuubi responded darkly, red eyes glinting. "I'm the only one who understands you, kit."

Naruto nodded, his mind reeling. "Yeah, I know t-that." He ran his hand through his spiky hair. "You've healed me already?"

Kyuubi sighed exasperatedly. "Yes, but you need to wash up; you have blood all over you."

Naruto nodded dumbly, before slowly stripping off his clothes, and stepping into the shower. He turned on the water, wincing as the scalding water pounded against his skin.

"I h-hurt, Kyuu," Naruto whispered, resting his head on the cool tiles in his shower. "Why does it hurt so badly?" He knew Kyuubi wouldn't answer his question.

As expected, Kyuubi was silent. Naruto sighed and turned off the water, gritting his teeth. "Why do I even bother asking you? All you are is a stupid fox."

"No I'm not," Kyuubi said softly. "I may live in your head, but you know nothing about me."

Naruto stepped out of the shower, furrowing his brow. "What is there to know? You're a crazy ass demon who is taking up space in my head and driving me insane." He wrapped a towel around his waist.

Kyuubi chuckled. "That's what you think."

Naruto froze. "What do you mean?"

"You see me as a fox," Kyuubi said slowly. "But you've never seen my human form. You've never seen me for who I really am."

Naruto's mind was racing. "What do you m-mean, human form?"

"You don't think I've always been a fox, do you?" Kyuubi asked curiously. "This is what I've become when I was consumed by it."

"Consumed by what?" Naruto asked hesitantly.

"Consumed by… the lust for power," Kyuubi said, voice huskier than usual. "I've become a monster."

"What… were you b-before you were a… m-monster?" Naruto whispered.

Kyuubi chuckled. "For starters, I was a human. But I was beautiful. Nothing like this beast I've become."

"Were you a w-woman?" Naruto asked with his eyes as wide as saucers.

"Is it that hard to imagine?" Kyuubi asked, laughing humorlessly.

"Yes," Naruto whispered. He felt like his brain was going to explode. "I… w-want to see you, Kyuubi; can you become human again?"

"Not by myself."

Naruto suddenly found himself within a dripping dungeon, where he knew Kyuubi was waiting for him. He turned hesitantly towards the caged fox, to see Kyuubi staring at him with a wide grin.

"Come closer to me, Naruto."

Naruto held his breath and stepped closer. "I want to see you. Please, show me."

Kyuubi's red eyes flashed. "If you want to see, you have to do as I say. Do you understand me?"

"Y-Yes," Naruto gasped, walking closer to the cage. "I'll do whatever you say."

"Good," Kyuubi smiled deviously. "Listen closely: rip some of the seal."

Naruto widened his cerulean eyes. "What do you mean?"

"Rip some of the seal," Kyuubi repeated, red eyes narrowed. "Then just transfer some of your chakra to me through the ripped seal."

"Wait, no, I c-can't," Naruto shook his head. "I don't know what will happen—"

"Nothing more than me changing back to my human form," Kyuubi said quickly. "When you rip the seal, and then transfer some of your chakra to me, it's the same idea as me lending you some of my chakra, only reversed. You can control it as you wish; if you want, you can change me back to my fox form in an instant."

Naruto looked at Kyuubi, wide eyed. "Are y-you serious?"

"Yes," Kyuubi whispered, red eyes locked onto blue.

Naruto nodded wordlessly, and stepped towards the seal. With shaking tan hands, he touched the seal. Then, with a deep breath, he tore back a bit of the restraining seal, simultaneously transferring some of his chakra into the cage. There was a flash of light, and then Naruto's vision went black.

"Naruto, get up." A husky, yet feminine voice called out.

Naruto groaned, sitting up and placing his head in his hands. "Holy shit, my head."

"You fell."

"Yeah, no shit," Naruto snapped. He shakily pulled himself to his feet. "So, did it w…" He trailed off when he caught sight of the young woman who was smirking at him from behind the bars.

"Yeah, it worked," Kyuubi said with a smile, red eyes flashing excitedly. She brushed her long, red hair out of her eyes, and wrinkled her nose cutely at Naruto's dumbfounded expression and adjusted her green kimono. "What are you staring at?"

"Y-You…" Naruto gaped. "You're young… and…and hot!"

Kyuubi laughed. "Thanks; but you know, you're still late for your get together tonight, and I have a feeling the pink-haired bitch will probably be knocking down your door any minute now."

"Oh, um, right," Naruto agreed distractedly. "What are you going to do?"

Kyuubi frowned. "What do you mean?"

"You're just going to stay in the cage?" Naruto asked, furrowing his brow.

Kyuubi shrugged, sighing deeply. "I guess I'll just stay here. I mean, that's what I've been doing for 17 years. I'm used to it by now. But thanks for the concern." Kyuubi gave him a small smile before turning around, her eyes shining knowingly.

"What happens if I wanted you to come out of the cage?" Naruto asked in a hushed voice. "Will you turn back? Or will you stay… normal?"

Kyuubi smirked, before facing Naruto again. "You want me to come out?"

"What would happen?" Naruto looked deep into the girl's red eyes. "You've been trapped in my head for 17 years." He swallowed. "I want to let you out. But what will you do?"

Kyuubi looked at Naruto thoughtfully. "I won't do anything you don't want me to." She walked towards Naruto, and then leaned against the cage's bars. "I promise that you're in charge here. I'll ask you before I do anything."

"Do you promise?" Naruto whispered, feeling dizzy. "I don't want to do anything to make anymore people hate me." Naruto swallowed, a few tears slipping down his face. "I don't think I c-could deal with anymore. It's killing me, Kyuu."

The girl's lips quirked slightly at the boy's nickname for her, before sighing again, "I know that, brat; I've been living inside your head. I know everything you do."

Naruto let out a shaky breath. "What do I do?"

"Rip the seal completely," Kyuubi whispered, biting her lip. "I know it seems like a bad idea, but I promised to be a good girl, remember?" She shrugged. "And, besides, since I am in my human form I am not nearly as dangerous and unstable as I am in my demon form. You could easily stop me, if you wanted."

Naruto nodded thoughtfully. "Fine, I'll do it." Swallowing his fear and disbelief, he grabbed onto the already torn seal. Then, with a deep breath, he tore away the only barrier between him and the red-haired vixen.

Kyuubi smiled, stepping out of the cage, and approached Naruto, who had once again collapsed onto the hard, stone floor. She lazily scooped him up, before taking them both away from her empty container, and into Naruto's room. She gently placed him on the bed before narrowing her eyes at the boy's unconscious form, taking in her vessel up close for the first time. She smirked; at least he was half-way decent looking.

She trailed her fingers over his whiskered cheeks, smiling when she felt him twitch beneath her touch. It had been too long since she last touched someone; she had almost forgotten what it had felt like.

"Guhhhberurakskskfjsf…" Naruto slurred, gradually regaining consciousness. "What happened?"

"I'm out of my prison," Kyuubi said, quickly having positioned herself on Naruto's windowsill, innocently staring out at what she could see through the dirty glass. She raised her eyebrows at him. "When was the last time you washed this window?"

Naruto didn't answer her, but walked over to her, grabbing her arm roughly. "You're real."

"Yeah," Kyuubi cocked an eyebrow, tugging her arm out of his grasp. "We've established that."

"I… can touch you," Naruto continued.

"I wouldn't advise it, though," Kyuubi warned sagely, stifling a yawn. "I don't like to be touched much."

Naruto nodded slowly. "Alright, then… oh shit; I've got to get ready. How much time do I have?" He frantically looked at the clock.

"I'm not sure," Kyuubi frowned. "The pink-haired bitch is usually here by now. She's probably just running a minute or two behind schedule; I'm guessing two minutes, tops."

"Her name is Sakura," Naruto said, stepping over to his dresser. Turning to Kyuubi, he blushed while looking at her expectantly. "I've got to change."

"Then change," Kyuubi shrugged. "I've seen you naked for 17 years, and you were never shy and awkward then…"

"Yeah, well you never looked like a girl," Naruto snapped back. "Just turn around."

"Whatever," Kyuubi smirked playfully, turning around. "And, just for you, I'll cover my eyes, just to make sure."

Naruto snorted. "Shut up, you smart ass."

Kyuubi sighed dramatically. "It's weird; I've gone from dumb fox to smart ass in only a half hour. Life never ceases to amaze me."

"Well, I'm sure it's only going to get weirder from here," Naruto sighed. "I'm done changing. Stop acting like a retard."

Kyuubi growled, turning around. "Oi, I'm trying to be civil here. You need to play your part too." She narrowed her eyes at him. Naruto chuckled, and opened his mouth to respond. However, before he could speak –

"NARUTO, YOU BAKA, GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE BEFORE I HAVE TO COME IN THERE AND DRAG YOU ALONG!"

Naruto widened his eyes, and Kyuubi smirked.

"Cue the pink-haired bitch."
