Author’s Note – Well, tech issues suck. Plain and simple. I’m trying to get myself back into the swing of things, and I know this isn’t as long as I’d have liked but just wanted to get something out for all of you to enjoy. Thank you so much for your kind words, and I hope you enjoy the read!

Chapter Seven – Chakras and Unexpected Meetings
The boys changed after arriving home and after a quick look around the areas of the compound close to the house, realized that Zabuza had not made it back yet. So Haku took his mate outside to sit in the garden and quietly explained what chakra was, its importance to shinobi, and how his tenant affected Naruto’s chakra reserves. Once the younger boy understood, the older one went on to share how their bond now affected their reserves. Naruto, who was proving to be a quick study, realized what his mate was saying.
“So our bond is a good thing and not just because we’re not alone anymore,” the blond asked, making Haku smile.
“Exactly,” the dark haired lad answered, pleased with the swift way the other was learning what he had to teach him. “I’m able to help calm down your chakra while you are helping to increase my own reserves. We’re a team in many ways, and we’ll learn to utilize it more as we grow up. Right now, you need to learn to feel your chakra and begin to control it. The sooner we begin on that, the better it’ll be for you.”
“How do we do it?”
Haku turned so he could face his mate, taking his hands. This was an exercise he remembered doing in his past life, and he knew it would help Naruto find what to look for. It was his hope that starting him this quickly on control exercises would give him a head start when they began the academy in a few months. He remembered how much difficulty his favorite blond had with his chakra and wanted to make it easier for him if possible.
“Relax,” he instructed. “Tell me when you feel something different, ok?”
After the other nodded, the ice-using shinobi relaxed and slowly began feeding his chakra to the other. The younger giggled once the exercise began, looking up at his mate.
“I feel it; it’s cold but in a good way. It kind of tickles,” he chirped, still giggling occasionally. “Is that because of the ice you used earlier?”
“It is,” Haku answered, smiling at the other. “My kekkei genkai deals with ice, and my chakra can feel cold because of it. Your chakra will feel different because it won’t be cold, but the energy will have the same kind of feel. Think you can find yours?”
Naruto nodded, looking determined, and closed his eyes to focus on the energy his mate had said he possessed. He didn’t let go of Haku’s hands as he continued his task, not feeling any form of impatience from his mate as he kept working on the job the other boy had set him on.
Both boys gave a gasp when there was a sharp tug through the forming bond, and they were out of their conscious state. Their bodies were still, holding hands, but it was obvious to anyone observing that something was not quite right.
Haku gave a groan, rubbing his hip as he climbed to his feet. He spotted Naruto not far from him, looking around in shock. The dark haired boy headed towards the blond, hoping he was all right.
“Where are we?”
“I’m not really sure,” the older replied, helping Naruto up to his feet. “We’ll probably find out more once we look around.”
The blond nodded, falling into step beside the darker haired one. They looked at the scenery, wading through water that seemed to be receding in places. Haku picked out what looked like rusty, broken pipes and noticed they were slowly repairing themselves.
The boys wandered for a while, stopping when they entered a large room with a massive, ornate looking gate in the center of it. Most of the cage was shrouded in shadow, hiding the contents of it. Something about this seemed familiar to the ice using boy, and he looked at his mate for a moment.
“I know where we are,” Haku murmured, hoping this wouldn’t be a problem.
“We’re in my head somehow, aren’t we,” Naruto asked, hand sliding into his mate’s.
“Close but not quite right,” a deep voice interjected. “We are in your mind but deep where your soul and mine combine.”
A pair of amber eyes, touched with threads of dark red, appeared in the shadows and stared at the two boys. Both children stared back for a moment before the smaller child moved closer to the gate, a look of fascination on his face.
“You’re Kyuubi?”
“I am, kit, and you are the Blessed meant for me,” the spirit replied, watching the child that had bravely moved closer to his location.
“What does that mean?”
“I’ll be able to explain more as you get older and learn to work with me,” the Kyuubi replied. “What I can tell you now is that you and I were meant to find each other. It took time, but the kami have finally managed it.”
“So we’re going to be a team,” he asked, trying to understand.
“Yes, kit, we are,” the spirit patiently answered. “It’ll take time and hard work, but we will be very formidable together.”
Haku said nothing when the eyes of the ancient spirit turned towards him, meeting the powerful gaze with one that was both respectful but determined.
“You are both surprised but not,” the bijuu began. “You are not what I expected for my kit’s Destined One.”
“I had heard you were enraged after Kushina-sama’s seal failed, Kyuubi-sama,” the ice shinobi replied in a voice both respectful and cautious. “I had not expected to meet you and had thought you would still be angry.”
“For a time, I was,” the being answered truthfully. “However, I was visited by Inari-sama not long ago and it was explained to me why this had happened. The truth was shared, and I gave my word to aid my Blessed until the time was right for things to move forward. I will also aid the other Blessed so that the path will be smoother when their time arrives with their Destined Ones.”
Silently, Haku thanked Inari-sama for intervening. He’d watched Naruto’s life and had seen just how enraged the fox spirit had been before the blond had befriended him. The battle between the pair had made things extraordinarily difficult for Naruto. In truth, he’d been rather worried about how the bijuu would take everything once the path the kami had intended for the Blessed and the bijuu to take had been revealed.
“I am grateful for that,” he said softly. “You and Naruto will be stronger if you stand together.”
“Yes, we will be and I will work with him to help him prepare for when he will need my chakra and abilities,” he commented.
“Is there anything we can do for you,” the boy asked, just happy that things were looking to be heading in the right direction.
“Continue to make Naruto happy,” the Kyuubi replied. “With each passing moment, his mindscape improves because he’s finding that he is cared for. If you keep on as you are, this will become bearable before too much longer.”
Haku looked around, seeing the signs of an unhappy soul and his heart ached. He had no idea the pipes and water was because of Naruto’s depression, which the boy had hidden so cleverly, and the brown eyes took on a look of determination as the younger boy addressed the spirit.
“I’m not alone anymore,” Naruto said, laying a small hand on the bar of the cage. “I’m sorry you’ve been stuck in an awful place, and I’ll do what I can to make it better for you.”
“This is not your fault, kit,” the spirit said, voice gentle. “Never blame yourself for that, understand? Their treatment of you was wrong and one day, you’ll be able to prove to them that you are more than what they believe you to be. The important thing, kit, is that you understand you are innocent in this and need to fight to overcome whatever things they may throw your way.”
“I’ll do my best,” the young boy told him, then tilted his head. “May I please see you?”
“Most find my appearance to be frightening,” the bijuu warned his Blessed.
“I would still like to see you,” Naruto said bravely, looking up into those amber eyes.
“As you wish,” the spirit answered, moving out of the shadows and into view of both children.
The sheer size of the bijuu was intimidating; he filled the cage with both his physical form and chakra presence. His coat, while predominately red, held highlights in tones of various shades of brown, white, gray, and cream, and the colors made the Kitsune spirit gorgeous despite the terrifying aura around him. The nine tails moved, somewhat reflecting the bijuu’s emotions as he waited for a reaction from the children.
Haku’s breath caught when he spotted his mate reaching out to the spirit, and his hand rested over his heart when the small hand began stroking the bijuu’s muzzle. He hadn’t expected for Kyuubi to allow this, and it seemed both of them were enjoying the contact.
“So warm,” Naruto murmured, petting the silky fur.
“That is how my chakra feels when I am at peace,” the kitsune told him. “Now, I’m going to help you get a sense of what your chakra feels like. This way you’ll know how to draw on yours alone as well as reach for mine if you need it. Are you ready?”
“I am,” the child answered, blue eyes looking to red-touched amber ones.
Haku could feel the sensation of power filling the chamber as Kyuubi guided Naruto’s chakra forward. While the kitsune’s felt like a summer’s day, warm with a hint of spice to it, the boy’s reminded the ice shinobi of a spring day. It curled around them, lending a sense of warmth but with a tinge of coolness that held the reminder that winter was fading and life was returning.
The older boy smiled, eyes closing as he enjoyed the sensation. He could feel his own chakra reacting to it, pulsing gently in pleasure at the feeling of his mate’s energy.
“Do you think you can find it now,” the deep voice asked in a soft rumble.
“I think so,” Naruto answered while Haku’s eyes opened. “It feels different from yours so I should be able to find mine over yours.”
“Good,” the spirit said. “When you learn the exercise your mate has to give you, I want you to learn to reach for yours alone and then mine alone. Later, we’ll learn how to mix them together for when you need to use it that way. Unless it’s an emergency, reach for your chakra only. Mine is very potent and can harm you if not wielded correctly.”
“Okay,” the boy agreed, giving Kyuubi’s muzzle one last pat. “How do we go back?”
“I’ll nudge you both back out,” the Kitsune told them. “Just relax.”
Both children bowed politely and within a moment, the pair opened their eyes to spot Zabuza taking a seat next to them. They weren’t sure how long they had been in Naruto’s mindscape, but Haku knew that he had a lot to tell his father about everything that had happened so far.
The ice shinobi was worried about the look of fatigue on his parent’s face and hoped that the meeting with Ibiki had not gone poorly. Although, knowing the swordsman as he did, his father had given as good as he’d gotten in that debriefing and he had to wonder if Ibiki was all right.
Author’s End Note - Another chapter done. I really hope you all enjoyed this one! Please let me know what you thought of it. I know it’s short, but I’m trying really hard to get back into the swing of things. ~ Laran
