Naruto's snort interrupted her, "That's a very mild way of putting it. You've essentially told me that I'm going to live forever, that means that I will be forced to watch as all of the people I've grown close to die. You've made it virtually impossible for me to meet my friends in whatever after life waits for us, hell you've made it hard for me to even make friends now…"
The blonde's voice was soon reduced to a whisper, "And you've made it impossible for me to find love."
Despite herself Kyuubi winced, "That's not true…at least not in the context your thinking." When Naruto merely raised an eyebrow she tried her best to elaborate, "It is true that a…a relationship like marriage or something permanent is impossible…"
At the blonde's glare she realized that might not have been the best way of putting it and tried to finish what she was saying more delicately then she normally would, "But that still does not mean you can't find someone out there who will love you."
"But they won't always be there," Naruto said, "eventually they will die and I will be alone again."
Kyuubi found herself biting her lip, there was something about the way he said that, that brought an odd desire to help him out of her. That or perhaps she was still afraid of the power he had displayed, "I…I'll be there you know," she said, causing the young half demon to look at her with an odd stare that almost, almost caused her to blush.
"Because you're a half demon now… there is no way for me to escape the seal. So um…" she trailed of for a moment when she noticed him still looking at her.
After a few seconds a blush finally did arise from her cheeks, one made from both anger and embarrassment, "Look would you stop staring at me like that!"
After a few moments Naruto's eyes went to a less imposing stare, "Sorry, it's just, it sounded like your telling me that you've offered to stay with me."
Kyuubi's blush seemed to increase a bit, "W-well it's not like I have a choice! I'm stuck here now. Before I turned you, I could have escaped the seal if I had managed to convince you to take it off. However when you changed into a hanyou something in the seal changed as well and now there is no way for me to escape."
She gestured around both her neck and the walls, "Even were you to rip the one off of my neck, these walls are impossible for even you to take off." She frowned, "I suspect it has something to do with the seal that man tried to put on you. I don't know much about sealing, I never really bothered to learn anything about sealing until I actually was sealed to be honest, but I do know that placing a high level seal on a body that already has an existing high level seal can cause a disruption in the original seal that was placed on the person. Likely that's what happened here and it caused the seal that held me to mutate before I could contain it." She shook her head, "Though as I said I can't be too sure…"
"I see…" Naruto trailed off for several moments as he tried to come to grip with everything he had just been told. He felt like he had been given far too much information and his mind was going to meltdown from being so overloaded. With a heavy sigh he sat down on the bed, which was the closest object to him.
He looked up at Kyuubi who was still looking at him, "Why don't you tell me about what it's going to mean for me to be a hanyou now…"
He realized that at the moment there was no way he could come to grips with what had just happened, so it would be best if he moved onto something else before he dealt with the knowledge he had been given. "Are there any benefits to me becoming a half demon?" he asked.
Kyuubi stood there for a few seconds before getting herself together; she tentatively sat down next to him. "There are a few things I can tell you, however I should warn you, I don't know everything there is about this new form."
"But didn't you turn me into a Hanyou?" Naruto asked in confusion, "I would have figured that you would know my abilities since you're the reason I changed."
Kyuubi shook her head, "Unfortunately I have only basic knowledge on Hanyous. There has not been a half demon in nearly four millennia. Long before even I was born. The only reason I was even able to figure out what you were was because of a tome I had once read that spoke of a Hanyou who had been a cross between a powerful Inu (dog) demon and a human. And even then, this is different."
"How so?"
"Because you started off human," Kyuubi said with a shrug. "You were not bred between a demon and a human, but created because of an overdose of my youki. Normally such a thing would have killed you, but because the seal that keeps me here is constantly channeling my youki through you, it had changed you to that of a Hanyou instead." Kyuubi paused for a moment before continuing, "It may also have something to do with your chakra."
"My chakra?" asked Naruto with a frown.
Kyuubi gave a small nod, "Your chakra is, was more…stronger than most. It had an odd vitality to it that made it stronger than other people's chakra. I believe it was at least another part of the reason you did not die during the transformation."
"I see…" Naruto looked thoughtful for a moment before getting back to the topic at hand, "So then my abilities are likely different than those of this other Hanyou you read about?"
"Yes," Kyuubi answered simply. "But that's a given considering you were made this way because of me. From what I read the demons of ancient times were nowhere near the strength of the Bijuu. In fact most Jonin-level shinobi could go toe to toe with the demons of the past."
Naruto tilted his head to the side and raised an eyebrow at that tidbit of information, "How do you know that? More tomes?"
"Partially. However there were also still a few demons other than myself and the Bijuu when I was first born." Kyuubi shrugged, "Most if not all of them were killed off, with only the most powerful surviving, and even then I think the stronger demons were eventually killed, leaving only us Bijuu."
"So then how were you born?" asked Naruto, actually getting interested in learning more about the past. Despite not liking Kyuubi hearing a piece of history that nobody else was likely to know held an odd form of appeal to the blond.
Feeling a bit more bold now that they were no longer at each other's throats Kyuubi just gave him a knowing smile, "A story for another time perhaps, we're getting off topic after all."
Naruto a pout at not having his curiosity sated and Kyuubi was unable to contain the laugh that escaped her, "Now I'm sure you already know the basics of your abilities. Your speed, strength, endurance, reflexes, senses and regeneration have increased significantly; I would say that you are now on par with your friend in the horrible green spandex when he is not wearing his weights. Your mind is also able to process information at a faster rate, even though you still act like an idiot sometimes."....
