Soooosososo right, it is total waste. I also love the few times you do seem him go visit Kyuubi, like when in the first ep, Naruto look down right creepy. Yes, we must break into where Kishi does his writing and brainwash him >3 Though I can't take the bubbles seriously. I mean seriously, bubbles? -facepalm-

I agree on the love thing, possessive is about as close as Kyuubi will ever get, things like that dont love because I doubt animals, even ones as intelligent as the tailed beasts, have notions of love, or if they do, just see it as a weakness and point to manipulate (-coughshukakucough-), as you demonstrated with the scene in the soul rooms and Kyuubi pulled on Naruto's worry. It really is such a shame we dont get to see more of him, he's such a awesome manipulative bastard.
