"Yes it's real, you've shrunk."

Naruto gapped up at the tan-skinned giantess. HE'D SHRUNK?!

How did that happen?!

However, he had bigger problems at the moment, literally! And those problems were currently towering over him with a sneer on her face. Naruto finally took the time to look at his tormentor. She had ocean blue eyes, dark skin that indicated a life in the sun and dark brown hair, it was braided into a long braided into two... What could something like that be called...? Was hair-loopies a real word...? She also wore clothes made out of blue material. Naruto had to admit to himself, despite how she'd treated him and the nasty smirk on her face, she was quite attractive. Those thoughts about her were cut short as her foot lightly slammed onto him and pinned him under her with just enough pressure to keep him imobile but not enough to hurt him. His head was between her big and second toes.

"You know, I think its past time we were introduced, I'm Katara." she said in a friendly tone.

"Naruto Uzumaki...and why have you been doing this to me?!" Naruto shouted up at her.

Katara sighed and looked at him with remorse. "To be honest, its nothing personal, I just need to vent."

She then told Naruto all about what happened to her mother and that Fire Nation solidger.

"Wait...this guy that killed your mother...did you...?" Naruto asked in horror.

He felt happy for her when the giantess who was now rubbing her feet aganst him to massage her feet shook her head no.

"I thought so...you don't have a killer's eyes...there's no blood on your hands. For what its worth, I think you made the right choice and I'm sure your mother would say the same thing." Naruto said with a smile.

Katara smiled at him as she used his head to massage between her toes.

"...You know...I had a friend who sold his soul for reenge...he had a near utopea-life, and he threw it all away because he wanted to put blood on his hands...I tired to stop him...I failed of course, seeing as the only way to stop him would be to kill him...I regreted not being able to stop him, but I'm glad he's still alie." Naruto said.

Katara's eyes went wide at this information.

"So...I'm guessing you shrunk me and have been using me as a scapegoate because you refuse to kill." Naruto said.

Katara nodded and Naruto smiled up at her.

"So...my little fox-faced friend...mind if I keep ypu as my foot-property?" Katara asked.

Sighing, Naruto nodded and Katara gave him a soft, gentle, grateful, and bright smile.

Knowing he'd just perminitly condemed himself to belonging to Katara as her personal pet for the rest of his life, Naruto sighed as Katara held him up by his head between her toes. Only one thought crossed his mind.

The things I do to keep people from revenge...
