Yugito ignored Gemini's question about her being Naruto's girlfriend for the moment. While it was starting to become an interesting idea, part due to the Nibi's teasing, and the other was part of Naruto being the person that he was. "We should."

Naruto nodded and turned to Gemini. "We have something important to tell you, but I'm not sure if we can tell you with everyone around." He said.

Gemini raised an eyebrow. "I don't think there's anything you can tell me that they can't handle." She replied.

"But it's really kind of personal, dattebayo."

"Naruto-kun, I don't have time for riddles or games. I came in here for breakfast, and then I'll be going out to train. To tell you the truth, I'm looking for someone myself, so can we get on with it?"

"Gemini-chan, it's about your father!"

"..."

"..."

"Temari-san, with all due respect, I want you to take Kankuro-san and leave the room. Make sure no one else comes in. Gaara-san, please stay here."

Temari didn't understand what was going on but nodded all the same. "We will. Come on Kankuro," Temari said as she dragged her brother away. Exiting the kitchen, they stayed outside the door, guarding it from anyone who wanted entrance to it. She just hoped that there wouldn't be too much fighting...

Gaara nodded, surprised that Naruto and this Yugito person knew about Gemini's father. He knew that she wanted to find him, and he was actually surprised that his theory could be correct, though he would be staying silent as these actions occurred.

Yugito stayed off to the side and quiet as well, knowing that Naruto, or more precisely Kurama, would be doing the talking.

Once the room was cleared, Gemini turned to Naruto with a deadly serious expression. "Okay. Talk." She said.

Naruto nodded, figuring that she wasn't going to get rid of the redhead. "Right. Well, we...hang on. First of all, there's something you don't know. You know the story about the Kyuubi that attacked the village? Well, that same demon is sealed inside of me. Aside from that, we found out yesterday that the Kyuubi had a daughter. A daughter named Gemini. Why didn't you tell me you were a fox demon?" He asked.

Gemini's jaw dropped. "I...you...hang on..." She found a chair to sit down. She knew Naruto was telling the truth, because that was the only way he could know about her true nature. "My father. My father is the Kyuubi. And he's sealed inside of you. Naruto-kun...the person I was looking for was my father...can I talk to him?"

Naruto nodded. "We've been working on that, dattebayo. I'll have to sit for a second..." He said, sitting down to meditate. He found himself facing the Kyuubi rather quickly. "Okay fox, you're up." He said.

Gaara nodded, seeing as he hadn't eaten yet either, just like Gemini. He was still confused as to all of this, and had to hold back the pain that he was feeling...his mother's voice had come back to him, but this time it sounded different...like it usually did in the past, not during the time that he was with Gemini-chan. It confused him, but he would wait until things calmed down before trying to look for answers.

"While the boy ate ramen for breakfast, he should also have something other than that...filth he eats all the time" Kurama said. He had a feeling that only the blonde woman that was the boy's future mate knew his true name, and that was because of his old mate, Matatabi. However, Gemini wasn't Matatabi's daughter. She was the daughter of a human female he knew long ago...

"I will be fine...I think"

"Not with the Shukaku so half assed sealed inside you," Kurama said sighing lightly. "It must be acting up because of me and Nibi-chan over here," he added.

Gemini raised an eyebrow. "Better? You're really gonna go there? I'm a half-breed, father. I am neither human nor demon. To humans, I'm a freak. To demons, I'm a weakling. I am not better than anyone here, and I never will be." She said coldly, seeming bitter. She had been programmed to believe what she was saying, so to her it was as if her father were lying to her. She hated being lied to, even if it was just to make her feel better. "So no, your lie does not make me feel better. Your pity is not welcome. I don't appreciate the fact that I'm a halfling. I am not proud of it. In fact, I hate what I am. And I hate you for bringing me into this world, and I hate whoever my mother was for not killing me when she had the chance! I've had to suffer all these years because of you! It's your fault! It's not my fault I was born some in between freak of nature! I never asked for this! It's all your fault!!" She yelled, her voice getting louder as she spoke. All the years of anger came spilling out then, both in her words and in the burst of blackish chakra that flowed from her as she turned and hurled a plate at the blonde who was currently hosting her father.

From his viewpoint inside his own mind, Naruto's jaw dropped as his friend took a mental fit. "It's like she's a little kid, dattebayo." He muttered, thinking of all the tantrums he used to have. "I guess Gemini-chan never got to have those tantrums..."

(sorry for the late response, was sick and still is :( )

Yugito and Gaara watched as Gemini blew up at her father/Naruto. Surprised when Gemini threw the plate at Naruto/Kurama, she was about to say something in response, but stopped when she felt a hand placed upon her shoulder. Seeing it, she turned towards the owner of said hand before seeing Kurama shake his head in the negative.

"I deserve this," he said softly before turning back to look at his daughter, rage slightly in his eyes at what she had said. "You're right musume, it is my fault. It's my fault that I fell in love with your mother and that she wasn't alive to take care of you, but don't you DARE wish you were dead EVER AGAIN! Sure you may be despised, and called a weakling by humans and demons alike, so what? You think that I called you strong out of pity, my little vixen? Let me tell you a little secret...IT WASN'T! YOU'RE STRONGER THAN ALL OF US COMBINED BECAUSE YOU DON'T LET THEIR NAMES GET TO YOU!" he shouted, answering Gemini's burst of blackish chakra with a burst of his own crimson chakra. He knew that it would cause the boy harm later on, but he needed to be firm with his daughter and to make her see that he was serious. "Now...what makes you think you're a freak of nature? Because I'll tell you right now that you aren't.

'It does...and there's only me to blame. If only I had been there for her...I could have helped her. If I wasn't so wrapped up in my rage...I could have told you earlier. Now...now there's only the hurt and damage that I can only hope to help mend...or, and I hate saying this, but have Shukaku's container help her... he mentally spoke to Naruto. It pained him to see his daughter like this, it really did.

((Aw! Get better soon! [hug]))

As tough as Gemini was, she cowered in the presence of her father's powerful chakra. Hears pressed to her head, she backed off in submission. By the time he was finished talking, her rage had subsided and turned into tears. "F-Father...how could I not think that? It's what I am. Half breeds are not meant to be. Abominations that should have been drowned at birth. That's what he told me. It was the first thing he ever said to me. He said I was lucky to be alive, and lucky that he had adopted me because if it had been anyone else, they would have put me down like a dog. He said I must always remember my place in the world and never think of myself as anything more than a reject. That he was doing me a favor...I didn't believe him at first. But other people said things when they thought I couldn't hear. They called me a freak of nature and said I should have been killed. And if everyone thinks so...not all of them can be wrong, right? If so many people say so, then it must be true." She said, sounding like she was begging to be contradicted.

Inside his own mind, Naruto flinched. That kind of chakra use hurt, but he understood why it was necessary. "I think this is what she needs, dattebayo. The one thing Gemini-chan's never had is a parent to tell her everything's okay. I've tried to help, but I never knew just how bad it was. I didn't know she was a hanyou, or maybe I could have helped, too." He said.

(I took today off from work, but thanks ^_^. *is giddy to start my fanfiction for NaNo*)

Kyuubi growled lightly at the sound of that before calming down. It wasn't her fault that she thought like this...it was there's. "Whatever that ningen said...no, whatever those worms said to you is a lie. They might have repeated it enough times for you to think it is true, but it isn't. You are my daughter Gemini. My heir to the Kyuubi no Yoko title. Anyone who has told you otherwise is a liar. Kyuubi said softly. "If I wasn't sealed in Naruto's body...I would have raised you properly as my daughter...not abandoned you to the cruelty of this world.

'You've never had it either Kit,' the Kyuubi responded, though he was glad that Naruto was okay with the actions that he did and the reasons that he did them. 'If I wasn't drowning in the anger that that man pulled over me, I would have been able to tell you...' the Kyuubi said, sighing lightly.

Gemini tried to wipe her tears away, but had little success. "That's just so hard to accept. Even without those people's words, I still would have come to the same conclusion. How can I know what's true? How can I know who I am if I don't belong anywhere? I don't belong to the leaf village. I don't belong in the wild. I don't belong anywhere, so it stands to reason that I shouldn't be anywhere. That I shouldn't be at all. There's only two people who have ever made me feel like I belonged somewhere, and they're both here in this room. If neither of them is around, then where do I go? When I'm alone, I just wander because nowhere is home. I sleep under a bridge. Is that my home? I don't know. Father, I need to belong somewhere." She said helplessly.

"What man? Not the fourth Hokage, right?" Naruto asked. Then he shook his head. "Never mond, we can talk about this later. You concentrate on Gemini-chan, dattebayo."

Kurama came close to Gemini and quickly enveloped her in a hug before using his hands to rub her back soothingly. "Just let it all out musume," he said softly. He knew he was a bad parent, and even Gemini's mother would be ashamed of what happened to their daughter...before other things of what she said to him came through. 'why is she sleeping under a bridge? why wasn't she with the kit?' he asked himself silently, though he figured that Naruto could hear him as well.

'No, not your father, the man who forced me out and caused you to become my new jailor, Kurama said, but knew that Naruto was right. Right now, he had to focus on his daughter. 'Naruto...is there still some time to find the Hokage? He and I have some things to be discussing...

Naruto nearly choked. "My father?! What the hell are you talking about?!" He asked, thinking he must be dreaming. "Old man Hokage will probably show up for the next round. But what do you mean my father?"

It took a few moments, but eventually Gemini managed to calm down. Sniffling, she stepped back and then giggled. "This is a little strange. It's like hugging Naruto-kun. I haven't hugged him since we were kids. The day I moved out of his place, he hugged me just like that and asked me to stay, but I didn't want to keep bothering him. Father, I want to hug you..." She muttered, knowing it was impossible. There was no way to see her father directly without hurting Naruto, and she wasn't about to do that.

"I'll tell you later, promise. Think you can wait until then?" he asked Naruto, before telling him that he wanted to talk to the Hokage to see why he didn't try doing anything for his daughter when he knew that the old man helped Naruto out as well as he could. "If I don't like his answer...there may be consequences."

Kurama chuckled lightly when he heard his daughter's request and wondered if there was something that he could do to resolve it. "Perhaps...I may have something in mind, but Naruto has to do it for me, if he will, that is"

Naruto crossed his arms, but nodded. "Fine, I can wait. But only because Gemini-chan needs your attention right now." He said.

Gemini tilted her head slightly, one ear twitching. "I have no doubt that Naruto-kun will do whatever is asked of him to help out a friend. My concern is that doing so will hurt him. The fool would literally die for a friend..." She said worriedly.
