Yep, it's amazingly enough: A Naruto/Twilight crossover! No pairings as of yet though. Hope you like!
DISCLAIMER FOR THE WHOLE STORY: I don't own Naruto or Twilight, duh.
(Unknown POV)
I strolled calmly through the streets in the strange village my brother and I had traveled to, watching how the humans ran their lives now. It had been interesting so far, but I couldn't help but be interested in a small boy that always wandered the streets, glares and whispers following him wherever he went.
Today, he wasn't on the street, and I had a sneaking suspicion why; humans were truly too violent. I smelled blood, and my crimson eyes flicked over to an alley where I could see the silhouette of several grown up humans and a small one at the ground.
The boy was just lying there, taking every hit with a silent whimper. I don't know why, but I felt compelled to help…the boy might have potential.
(3rd person POV)
The men and women beating the young blonde boy stopped as they saw someone coming towards them. He seemed to be around his middle-twenties, with very pale skin, crimson eyes, shoulder-length black hair and a black suit. Around his neck hung a silver necklace, formed like a V.
"Hey, whataya want?" One of the men asked, and the pale stranger smiled amiably and clasped his hands together. "That is a question I'm afraid I don't have the answer to yet. But I have a question myself; are you willing to stop hurting the young man?" He asked, red eyes glinting.
"No way! This demon deserves whatever he gets! He's a monster!" Another man yelled, and the pale stranger grinned, exposing unnaturally white teeth, as his eyes darkened to near black. "Monster? Him? I'm afraid you've got it all wrong. This does however give me a nice chance to feed…"
Screams were cut off as soon as they started.
(Unknown (Though you have to know who he is now!) POV)
I looked at the now sleeping human boy with a curious gaze. His wounds sizzled before closing up as an unnatural energy surrounded him. Using my gift, I was able to find out that he was a jinchuuriki, a prison for a terrifying beast made of energy.
The boy had potential, and I was deeply curious about whether the boy would gain a gift or not if he was changed. However, I was hesitant about breaking one of my own rules.
Deciding to talk with my brother, I hefted the bloodied boy up, and, careful not to become bloodied myself; carried him to the inconspicuous little place I had gotten us.
"Aro. What are you doing?" A cold voice asked, and I turned to smile at my brother. "Caius. I am merely looking out for our interests." I explained. My white-haired friend and brother scowled. "And you do that by bringing a human child here?" He asked.
"He has potential. He is the prison to the strongest of those magnificent beasts." I sounded giddy. As usual. Caius didn't think much of it, but I knew it annoyed him.
"He is too young. Or are you about to break your own rules?" Caius said with an enquiring look. I put the boy down, and waved my hand airily. "Wait now just a little." I said, and touched the boy's skin. Thoughts and memories instantly flew through my head, and I frowned at the boy's constant abuse.
The newest thoughts surprised me. He knew of the beast inside of him, and was talking to it. "Caius. Whatever would happen if I changed someone not quite human?" I asked, my eyes lit up in fascination.
Caius frowned. "I do not know. Why?" He demanded. "The boy has made a deal with the beast. At least a fourth of him is demonic." I grinned, and Caius grimaced.
(Naruto POV)
I was aware that I had been moved, but I didn't want to go out in the real world again. The Kyuubi stared down at me in amusement and some concern. "It's not good for you to stay here too long." He rumbled. I shrugged. "Someone's still with me. They'll hurt me." I said.
After 6 years of living as a plague, I wasn't exactly trusting.
"…They're not villagers. Not human either." Kyuubi spoke, fascinated. I knew he knew a hell of a lot more about everything, and was curious.
"What do you mean?" I wondered. The gigantic red fox flicked his tails. "They were supposed to be gone, but it appears they aren't. They're cold ones. Vampires. Hm, I wonder…" He drifted off, looking at the wall.
"Vampires? You mean like vampires-vampires? Those with sharp fangs that suck out all your blood and can turn to bats and burn in the sun?" I asked giddily. Kyuubi snorted. "Those are rumors. Vampires don't have fangs; they just have insanely sharp teeth. And as for the sun and bats part…no. But they can still change a human. I'd like you to wake up and ask them to change you. You'd be lots more indestructible… and though a vampire's body cannot change after having been turned, my chakra should be strong enough to negate some of the effects."
He explained. I frowned, and then turned towards a door in my mindscape and went out. "Well, I'll try?"
As I opened my eyes in the real world, I was startled to see a pale man with black clothes, hair and crimson eyes. He looked delighted by something. Some ways away was another pale man, but he had white hair and a black cloak that hid whatever he wore underneath.
"Ah, you're awake! Remarkable…it was quite the beating you got." The black-haired one said. I scoffed. "It's usually worse…it was you who…scared them away?" I asked uncertainly. He smiled crookedly. "You could say that they won't be coming back." He said cheerily.
"Kyuubi says you're vampires." I said. The white-haired one flicked his head around to glare, while the black-haired one tilted his head. "…Kyuubi. Is that the beast's name? No matter. Yes, we are. My name is Aro. That is Caius." He said.
I frowned. "Those are weird names." I decided. Aro laughed, sounding somewhat insane. "Ah, but so are yours. Now, I am deeply sorry, but I either have to kill you or change you now that you know of vampires." He looked regretful.
"Change me then!" I said quickly. Caius glanced at us with slight contempt. "That goes against the rules. You are a child. If you were to be changed, you would probably not have the strength to control yourself, and you would be living the rest of your eternal life as a child, never reaching adulthood." He explained coldly.
"But Kyuubi says he can stop some of the effects, like the never-changing part!" I informed them, not wanting to die. Aro's face split into a grin, and I noticed that though his teeth looked normal, they had sharper edges.
"That negates the need for the rule, doesn't it, Caius?" He said, eyes glowing. The white-haired vampire scoffed. "Do what you want." He only said. Aro looked somewhat sympathetic. "I am afraid this will hurt." He warned, then leaned over me and bit me.
I was instantly tossed into a world of fire. Everything burned; it hurt so much! I could vaguely hear Kyuubi calling out to ignore it, but it wasn't so damn easy!
(Aro POV)
I was staring at the boy, Naruto, with curiosity in my gaze once again as he lay on a bed, occasionally convulsing…without a sound. Most humans changing to vampire would be screaming their lungs out. Then again, the boy had taught himself not to scream, not wanting to amuse his tormenters more.
I knew Caius was very against the idea of making an immortal child, but with the help of the beast, Kyuubi, the boy wouldn't be an exact immortal child. And something told me he wouldn't be as uncontrollable as they usually were.
(Caius POV)
Damn Aro's curiosity about everything new with potential. Can't he understand it was dangerous? Oh, he does. I just wish he would show it more often. Of the two of us, I regard me as the responsible one, but I am very aware over the fact that Aro is responsible.
We are the two last vampires on the entire earth after the catastrophe in whatever year it was. Now we'll be three. Unless the boy looses his mind as a newborn. I don't really resent the boy. I just resent the idea that he's going to be something we have ruled against for many millennia.
To many, I am seen as being cold, unfeeling and cruel. It's mostly true; I am not a nice person. I'm evil, that's just how it is. But I find it perfectly fine to be seen as the bad person as long as no one opposes me.
There are times I wish I was dead. Being a vampire gets boring after a while. But who would watch Aro if I too were gone? Though he wasn't crushed, he was certainly down by the loss of Marcus, Sulpicia and the other members of the Volturi.
As I gazed upon the boy, I just hoped it would work out.
(3rd person POV)
After about 3 days, Naruto was near the end of his change, his heart beating ridiculously fast. Aro was waiting in suspense, while Caius just wanted it to be over. They'd stayed in the apartment Aro had bought, partly because they wanted to watch the boy, and partly because there was sun all three days.
Neither Caius nor Aro wanted to go out sparkling like the otherworldly creatures they were. Caius had gotten slightly concerned when red tails of energy wisped around the boy, but they seemed to not do anything, even though Aro got a tingly feeling when he touched it.
Finally, the young blonde was finished changing.
(Naruto POV)
I was relieved; it didn't hurt anymore. As a matter of fact, I felt better than ever. I slowly opened my eyes to see up into a roof, seeing all the small cracks and imperfections there. Then I turned my head to see an expectant Aro. He really was beautiful, though I wouldn't usually use that word. Too girly.
I slowly sat up, warily glancing at Caius who was looking wary himself, and raised my hand to my face. My tan skin from being outside so much had turned deathly pale, and hard. Aro handed me a small mirror, and I nearly gaped, seeing my head. The same pale skin made my whisker-marks easier to notice, yet not. My eyes, which had been a deep blue, were now crimson, like the Kyuubi's.
My hair's golden color had faded somewhat, and the spikes hung more down, looser. I was…amazing. "Don't let it go to your head." Kyuubi advised internally, and I blinked.
'Kyuubi! I'm a vampire! …What did you change?' I questioned in my head.
"I know you're a vampire, moron. I did so you'll age until you're about 17-18, though it may accelerate slightly. Also, you won't have to worry about the sun issue. You also gained an ability, but I don't know exactly what it is yet." Kyuubi informed me.
"…Aro, right? Kyuubi said I'd age until I'm 18. And not to worry about the sun. And that I got an ability." I grinned. Aro clasped his hands together, while Caius still glared warily.
"Amazing! Hm, what might your ability be, I wonder…" Aro mused. Caius scowled. "Boy. You'll be staying with us at least until you have enough control and knowledge about yourself and your species. Understood?" He ordered. I nodded quickly, not wanting to anger him.
"Are you thirsty?" Aro suddenly asked, and I blinked. As he asked, I noticed a burning in my throat and grimaced. "Yeah…" I hesitated. Aro nodded. "Come with me, and we'll find someone for you to feed on." He said, and instantly jumped off my bed and blinked at the speed I moved at.
"Vampires are much stronger and faster than humans." Caius said coldly. I nodded, and followed Aro. We sped off and came to a stop at a dark place with lots of drunken people in the street. Aro gestured to them. "Choose whichever…but don't go on a rampage, then I will have to stop you." He grinned cheerily, and I shivered.
I noticed a drunk moving away from the others, and slowly let my instincts take over.
(Aro POV)
Amazing boy. He has had control the whole time, though it seems he doesn't know it. I watched him drain the drunken man empty and then come to himself again. He looked troubled, but not much.
"Very good." I commented, and he looked at me. "…I killed him." He said silently. I nodded. "That's just how it is. Besides, weren't you going to be a ninja? They kill people." I explained cheerfully. He scrunched up his nose. "Yeah. What do I do with him? I can't just leave him to be found…" He said.
I smiled. Not many newborns thought as far as that. "Leave it to me. What of your thirst?" I wondered. He blinked, and shrugged. "It's…bearable?" It sounded like a question, but he meant it.
"Good, good." I grinned and with a few quick movements, I had disposed of the man before Naruto knew it. Well, he could see it. "It seems the sun is arriving. You may be immune to it, but I'm afraid I'm not." I chuckled, and sped off again. The blonde little boy followed immediately.
"…What exactly do we do in sunlight?" Naruto asked curiously and I blinked. "What about it?" I wondered. The blonde shrugged. "Well, I thought vampires burned in the sun…though Kyuubi said that's wrong." He looked somewhat embarrassed and I laughed.
I probably sounded insane again.
"Not much burning in sun, no." I said, and put my hand in a stray ray of sunshine we ran past. I could see the boy's eyes widened as my hand glittered in the sun before being cut off from the light.
"We sparkle!" He sounded incredulous. I laughed again. "Yes. Caius and me do sparkle, as you put it. It's a way of capturing the attention of our prey. I suppose the beast inside you didn't want you to have to stay inside each time there was sun." I explained.
Naruto laughed shortly. "Kyuubi detests being called a beast. He prefers Celestial being." He informed me. I blinked. "Very well."
(Caius POV)
Aro and Naruto came back from the hunt, and by Aro's grin, I understood it went fine. I sighed. That meant Aro would likely have me teach the young boy about the vampire society as well.
I noticed he was being careful around me, and sighed.
"Naruto." I said. He started and looked at me with something akin to awe and fear. "I will have you know that I will not hurt you. Though I will not be easy on you either." I explained. He nodded. "Thanks. I'm just…you're really powerful! So I'm kind of…yeah, scared."
I nodded. "It's a natural reaction." Was all I said to that, and went to another room.
(3rd person POV)
Things went okay. The only problem now was about the ninja academy and the Third Hokage. Naruto wasn't sure what to do, and both Caius and Aro wanted to teach Naruto more about being a vampire first. So they did it a pretty simple way.
(Aro POV)
"You will be allowed to see the Hokage now." The secretary said. I smiled graciously and nodded. "Thank you." I said. The secretary almost fainted, to my amusement.
I went in the double doors and looked at the weary-looking leader of the village. "Hokage…sama." I nodded to him, and tasted the strange word. He seemed to collect himself somewhat. "Yes. Who might you be, and what can I help you with?" He asked.
"My name is Aro. Aro Volturi, if you want. And I wondered if I could…adopt, young Naruto." I said. Adopting sounded strange, but it was the only way. Or apprenticeship, I read of someone's thoughts, but I was apparently not qualified for that.
"I'm afraid that is impossible at the moment. Naruto is gone." The Hokage sounded sad, and I frowned slightly. "Oh, but I know exactly where he is." I said cheerily. He looked up at once.
"What? Where?" He demanded. I smiled. "At my apartment. He was trashed by a couple of civilians that I…took care of, I suppose. And he's rather anxious to come out again." I lied smoothly. You don't live a couple millennia without picking up some tricks.
"…I see. Unfortunately, only ninja, and trusted ones have a chance to adopt him." The Hokage was lying as well. I could hear it. But I admitted he was a very good liar.
"Why would that be, I wonder? I'm certain I could protect him…" I said, my eyes flashing slightly. The Hokage's eyes narrowed, as he looked closer on me. Especially my eyes seemed to unnerve him. "Is it the beast inside him? If that is the case, you need not worry. The creature is about as friendly as it can get."
The Hokage scowled. "Who are you?" He demanded. I smiled airily and laughed. "I told you, I'm Aro. Whatever titles I have had would have made no sense to you." A glint in his eyes showed that he knew I was something more than just a civilian.
"Enough." He said calmly, though I felt a slight pressure. Probably this killing intent I'd read about. "Tell me exactly where you come from, your whole name and title and why you're here. Unless you wish to go to the interrogation cells?" He threatened.
I smiled and then fixed my face into a slight scowl, just like Caius. "I am afraid that is something I will not tell. That boy is interesting, and he has chosen to stay with me and my brother of his own will. And threatening me will really do nothing. I only came here on Naruto's behalf. In a year, he will be allowed to enter the ninja academy." I near commanded, shoving some of my bloodlust towards the old man.
"…Very well. I will put you as Naruto's guardian, and he will be entered in a year. But if anything happens to him…" The Hokage said. I smiled, in a cheerful mood once more. "Don't worry, it won't. Now I have to leave. Can't know what Caius tries to teach young Naruto." I said, and then left at vampire speed, confusing the old leader.
Caius probably wouldn't agree with what I'd done, but I didn't outright threaten or tell did I?
(Naruto POV)
I sure hoped the rest of my time with Caius would be just history! Though interesting, it's a lot to learn…and Kyuubi is threatening me with teaching something too!
Oh well, I'm really interested in what'll happen now that I'm a vampire…

So... how was it? It's my first time writing in 'I' form...I don't think it's that bad though. It doesn't have a name just yet, but if you have any ideas, feel free to tell! ^.^
