My Demon Tenant Can't Be This Cute!

My Demon Tenant Gave Me Fox Ears!

He felt absolutely awful when he woke up.

Everything hurt. Even his toes hurt. If he had nerves in his hair, he was sure that they would also be hurting. The pain was especially concentrated around his chest. Turning his head slightly to the side, Naruto let out a quiet hiss as his muscles clenched uncomfortably.

Where the heck was he?

Squinting his eyes, he tried to take in as much of his surroundings as the darkness around would permit him.

He was in the hospital. It was night time. The only light in the entire room came from the moon and through the gaps in the door to the hallway.

It had been a long since since he woke up in a hospital.

He had only really been in one once, from getting beaten up by a drunk guy.

The drunk guy had just come up to him one night right after he had left Ichiraku's ramen stall. He had been slurring heavily but Naruto knew what he was saying. Most of it at least. It was honestly hard to hate someone who kept crying about his dead family whilst beating you.

Maybe it was the tears, but he felt nothing but pity for the old man.

He had not pressed charges.

Looking out at the window, Naruto took in the night sky. There were no clouds. Just stars and the moon. It was beautiful, a contrast to the sky on the night that he and Sasuke did battle in the Valley of the End.

He frowned before biting down on his lower lip as the phantom pains of Sasuke's chidori filled his chest. He knew he had been mortally wounded during that fight. Just how long was he unconscious for?

It was the middle of the night, but surely there was a nurse nearby right?

He needed to get up.

A grunt escaped him as he tried to sit up. Something was holding him down. What the hell was it?

There was nine of them. He had not noticed them before because they were fluffy and soft. He only noticed them once they pressed down on him. Good thing they did not hold him down too firmly though. His body hurt enough as it was.

Blinking, Naruto groaned quietly as he tilted his head up.

He had to squint his eyes to make out who the person sleeping next to him was. The first tell-tale sign was the two perk fox ears on her head and the glimmering silky red hair she had. He should have known since it was really on Kyuumi that could have held him down with her nine tails and all.

In the dim light of his hospital room, Kyuumi looked absolutely serene.

Like a guardian angel that kept watch over him as he slept.

Except she had fox tails and fox ears instead of wings.

Plus she was a lot cuter than an angel.

He let out another grunt as he tried to sit up against. He watched her face this time as he did it and took note of the slight tension in Kyuumi's forehead as she frowned in her sleep. She even let out a quiet groan of discontent.

She could be adorable sometimes.

Most of the time.

Almost all the time.

Sometimes, she honestly did act like a fox.

A little baby fox cub.

Always hungry for his attention.

How long had she been sleeping next to him? Did she stay the entire time he was unconscious?

The sound of footsteps knocked him out of his thoughts. His ears twitched at the sound of them. Whoever was walking outside had on high-heels and a gait that made them seem very important.
