A Bet

It's not that Kyuubi wanted Shukaku's help, but he knew he'd need it. Shukaku probably wouldn't help him, which he wasn't stupid to know, but he knew he didn't have anorexia and he needed to prove to that brat that he didn't. Shukaku should know well that even if he did shove food down Kyuubi's throat, Kyuubi wouldn't gain squat, but Shukaku wanted to see Teme squirm, so he agreed to help him out.

Shukaku was like a fat-camp instructor, except instead of trying to prevent weight gain, he was trying to make Kyuubi eat and feel shame while doing it. "Okay, before we get started, you have to admit I'm better than you and deserve to be the Biju King."

"What?!" Kyuubi shouted, "Hell no! I am not going to say that!"

"If you want me to help you, you have no choice, Teme," Shukaku smirked.

Kyuubi crossed his arms. "I am not going to degrade myself and lose my reputation."

"What reputation?"

Kyuubi glared. "As King of Biju and the most powerful demon of all, the nine-tailed fox."

"And you say I have a big head." Shukaku said.

At that moment, Kyuubi tackled him and started to cuss a lot of words that are too inappropriate to comprehend or go into. Once Kyuubi was done, he finished with "Screw you, I'll do it myself!" and stormed off, leaving Shukaku stunned at what he had just heard.

Deiara wasn't the type that made friends easily. She hated everything about what she was put through in the academy and it just stressed her out. She would train when she was angry, but she mainly spent her time on the computer. It gave her the time to escape from things and it relaxed her. Especially after what happened today with that kid.

She found a story on the computer, well a series she decided to go back and read and then commented. She sighed though It's not like I'm going to have any friends anyway.

After that comment, she did get into a discussion with a girl that seemed really nice. Once the discussion was over and she finished everything on the computer, she sighed. Friend... She got up from where she was and turned the computer off, grabbed her bag, and went off to the academy.

Once she entered the academy, it seemed like it was only downhill. She was good at training, good in class, but she got into fights with others and was an outcast among the students. Deiara was aware though, she wasn't trying to ignore it and just focused on her work until finally, the academy was out and she left, passing by that blonde kid's home again. I wonder...

She walked up to Naruto's house and knocked on the door.
