This story is my response to Kyuubi16's Naruto-Rosario+Vampire crossover challenge.

Summary: Naruto and Mizore met when their were children because their mothers were old friends. They grew up knowing eachother most of their childhood and made a promise to reunite amongst the Snow Whites when they both turn seventeen when they were twelve. Though things may not turn out the way they're planned...

Prologue: Parting of fire and snow

Night drew across the Elemental Countries. Wrapping the lands in it's dark, chilling embrace. In Konohagakure no Sato, lights from the houses illuminated the surrounding darkness. But in the shadows of a large forest, four figures stood facing off. Two women, one boy and one girl.

"This will be the last time we see each other in a very long time, old friend", the purple-silver haired woman stated. "Family matters like this tend to take a long time, after all".

The young girl was hiding shyly behind her mother. From appearance she was a copy of her mother, but if one looked more closely, one could see small differences. Both of them were sucking on a lollipop in a childish manner. While not surprising for the little girl, the older woman often got questioned about this by the villagers.

These two were yuki-onna, snow women. They were sucking lollipops to keep their body temperature down. As snow women, they could easily overheat in the hot climate in the Land of Fire.

The duo was wearing snow white kimonos, the dress most commonly used by their kind. While many preferred to use ordinary clothes, the traditional, white kimono was regarded as the highest standard of clothing.

"Family matters? I am quite aware what these family matters mean to your race, but I also know what it involves. I would rather not have young Mizore caught up by the primitive political system of yours. She is dear to my son after all". The woman across the icy duo replied.

She had hair red as fire that seemed to glow in the darkness of the forest. Eyes glowing in the same color with slitted pupils. In her face one could see six whisker-like marks, three on each cheek. At the same time one would notice the slightly pointed ears. This was Uzumaki Kushina, also known as the Guardian of Fire, Kyuubi no Kitsune, Leader of the Kitsune clan.

The child in front of her was fighting the growing flow of tears. His blue, slitted eyes growing wetter by the seconds. He had the same whisker marks as his mother. On top of his head were two blonde fox ears, hanging sadly. Behind him were four tails, not moving an inch. The young half-demon had yet to learn to properly hide his demonic features. Although it didn't matter much in the Village Hidden in Leaves, as they all accepted the demonic pair that resided with their leader.

"I don't want to involve her either. But our race depends on this to survive. You know this, Kushina. I would like nothing more than see Mizore with little Naru-chan, but alas they're still to young". The young boy growled at the nickname.

"My name is Naruto! Remember it! Na Ru To!" the boy growled. The two women laughed at the outburst from the boy. The child had a way with that, making people laugh. Even if it was not intentional, he could bring happiness to the people around him like no other.

"Mom, what do you mean to young? Why are we leaving?".

Naruto instantly froze. He had been on many adventures with his godfather, if one could call them adventures. He did not need to hear the answer. He did not want to. His little talk with Jiraiya had left him traumatized for weeks. It didn't help him that his father's mentor had brought charts and diagrams to go with the explainations. It took weeks before he could look at his female counterparts at the academy without turning into a mumbling moron. While he was curious to why his friend had to leave, he did not want to hear the answer to her first question.

"Don't worry Mizore-chan", he burst out. Trying to interrupt the incoming answer from Mizore's somewhat perverted mother. "We will meet again! That's a promise! I keep my promises."

Kushina lightly laughed at the statement. "That you do, dear son. How about meeting again in five years? That should give you enough time to solve your family issues. And this time we'll visit their home".

"While that would probably give me enough time to sort the matter, I cannot guarantee that my daughter will be the same. Knowing the old hags meddling, they will probably try to marry her off. You know the reason, Kushina. Your son might have to struggle when that time comes".

"As if their pathetic candidates will be a match for my son? It would be amusing to see them try to keep Naruto away from someone he likes". Kushina replied.

"Mom! Me and Mizore are just friends! She's not my girlfriend!" Naruto screamed. While his words said one thing, his facial expression said another. His cheeks were red as a tomato, rivaling the blush of the Hyuuga heiress.

Mizore dropped a bit by the statement. But the blush on her friend's face made blood pump to her cheeks as well, turning them lightly red, but not enough to notice.

"But I'm right am I not? You will not allow anyone to touch her without your approval? If you allow anyone to touch her at all". Retorted a grinning Kushina.

"Mom!" yelled the child, as he stomped away. Not noticing that his hair was starting to take a more red hue.

The two women started to laugh at the young hanyou's antics. Though Kushina was thinking about the sudden change to her son's hair. Deciding to let it slide for now, she had all the time in the world to ponder the reason after all. And it could just be a half-demon thing. After all, he was the first kitsune half-demon in existence.

"Don't you worry, Mizore. He can't hide things from his mother, no matter how hard he tries. You will see him again when you're seventeen". Kushina said to the little snow girl, before she turned to her friend. "Let's send them to 'that' place. Give them a little surprise before they're supposed to meet. I was going to send Naruto there anyways, he needs to get some friends other than the humans of this village. I think things would be more interesting if Mizore-chan went there to, don't you agree?". Grinning as only a fox could, Kushina started to head back to her house. "Oh, and you'd better prepare your daughter for that. My son does have a way to charm the opposite sex. It wouldn't surprise me if the girls at 'that' place will fight fang and claw over him. I'll see you in five years, dear friend".

The yuki-onna duo left the forest. Both thinking about what the elder demoness had said. Mizore wondering what 'that' place is, Tsurara about plans for her daughter's training. From what she had already seen in the village, Naruto sure had his way with the ladies. "Mizore, I think we should step up your training in our powers. After all, one can never have enough control".

Mizore simply nodded, though she did not like the vibe her mother was emitting. She what her mother had in store for her, she could only imagine.

AN: Now I apologize if the characters seem out of character, it's not as easy as I thought to write them in character. So for this story I will write the characters as I feel they should behave in this story.

FROTC (Fanfiction recommendation of the chapter)

Sit Upon the Frozen Heavens by James D. Fawkes

Naruto(-Bleach crossover)

Although I'm not sure if I should say that this story is a crossover. I normally don't read many fanfictions of this category, although there are exceptions. Anyways, this is just a light crossover: meaning Naruto with a few elements from bleach. From the title you can pretty much guess which element that's taken into Naruto's universe. The story pretty much starts in the Forest of Death after Orochimaru uses a five-elements seal on Naruto, pretty standard scenario with a hidden power being unlocked by this event. But what makes this story so very good in my opinion is the way the author writes it, there's a lot of humor, romanse and awesome written scenes. It is extremly fun to read. If you get time, I highly recommend this story.
