My Darling Naruto, My Sweet Kyuubi

My first Naruto fictional writing so please leave comments and reviews.

Timeline:
I would like to say, during the reign of Tsunade, before going on the mission to retrieve pickled Sasuke.
After Kakashi breaks up Naruto's and Sasuke's fight he decides that a mission might be the best thing for
them and decides to join Kurenai's team on a simple mission.

Disclaimer:
I don't own Naruto. Or any of the characters that I have 'borrowed' from the Naruto universe.
The situation and general idea behind this story is mine though, so any continuations, or uses of, please
ask me for permission first and acknowledge me in a header.

Note:
I prefer the Japanese names for the nin-jutsu, gen-jutsu, and tai-jutsu techniques, as well as the curses
and other slang that they use - as such I have put a glossary at the bottom of this page detailing any
of the non-English words I use within this story
Also: It seems that paragraphs wrap funny at certain font sizes, so if there are some places
where an extra word wraps to a new line on it's own, try increasing or reducing the font size a little!
or Resize your browser! Whatever works best for you.

Sorry to all those that will no doubt be annoyed by my story jumping up the active list
for something as trivial as this but I have received a couple of eMails asking if I'm
continuing this story and when will I be updating. Well here's an answer:

I have another chapter or two worked out in my head and noted down on paper - I write my stories in a little notbook along with sketches to get a feel for it, that I then type up - often changing bits as I type them up.
I havent had a chance to type any up as I'm very busy with my job in real life, also the fact that there has been a lot of trouble moving between servers - and the way I and several others were treated by members and some staff for updating past the deadline (which was given the okay by other staff) - which has made me skeptical about coming back.
I will try to find time to continue this story, but currently I'm just too busy with my paying job (I need to eat). Sorry.
