Idea: This is a bit different… Sailor Moon/Naruto crossover. No idea where this came from… When Minato turns fifteen, he finds that he has another set of memories in his head. And when he meets a familiar silver haired man several years later, he's not sure what to do.

Summery: Namikaze Minato, ninja extraordinaire, dreams of a stranger with brilliant crimson eyes and silvery hair, but what is the soon-to-be Yondaime to do when he has one Uzumaki Kushina also trying to catch his eye? Will he ever be able to find the stranger in his dreams?

Warning: This is slash, all warning on Kyuubi's Mate apply here as well. Note: This Kyuubi is nicer and you will be seeing him faster than in Kyuubi's Mate.

Title: Namikaze Minato… Princess? of the moon?

(The Dream)

The white marble ballroom was decorated in cheerful pinks and light blues, Queen Serenity's second daughter was on the dance floor, chatting with a young Earth prince. They were all waiting for the queen and the elder daughter to arrive. The young Princess Serenity couldn't wait to see her older sister Kaiko in the new gown she had designed for her beloved older sister. It was a beautiful pale blue with tiny yellow dots. Kaiko was getting engaged tonight and Princess Serenity knew that her older sister was excited about it.

In the throne room just off the ballroom, Queen Serenity watched her eldest daughter Kaiko pace as they waited for the prince to arrive. "What if he doesn't like me Mother?" Kaiko asked in concern, "He and I have never met, why would he like me?"

"No worries My Daughter, he will see you and fall flat on his face, he will love you. I promise that he will." The queen replied. "You are beautiful, how could he not?"

Kaiko, crown princess of the moon was tall, almost taller then her mother with long, sunshine yellow hair made up into a bun with the excess tied up in a long braid and diamond blue eyes. She had her father's eye shape and color, unlike her sister who had their mother's eye shape and crystal blue eyes. Kaiko's eyes were narrow, giving her a look of age and wisdom. But she wasn't that much older than Princess Serenity

"I suppose…" Kaiko muttered, she wasn't convinced that her fiancé would like her at all. "I hope he's nice, and handsome."

"He is." Her mother replied. "And he will be here." She tried to reassure her daughter.

Kaiko sighed and was opening her mouth to reply when echoing footsteps were heard. Kaiko spun around, her mouth gaping for a mere second before she remembered her manners.

The man approaching was tall, a head taller than herself, with short spiky silver hair and red eyes. He was dressed as a prince.

Princess Kaiko blushed, could this be the prince she was engaged to? Kaiko's breath hitched as he came closer.

"It is nice to see you again Queen Serenity." The prince greeted the queen formally.

"It is nice to see you as well, are your parents well?" the queen asked courteously.

"Yes, as fit as fiddles, both of them." He answered promptly, turning to Kaiko at last. "Is this my betrothed?" he asked.

Kaiko curtsied, "I am Kaiko Highness, Queen Serenity's eldest daughter." The light dusting of pink splashed across her cheeks darkening ever so slightly.

The man's eyes swept over her frame, causing her blush to darken even more. "Lovely, just lovely." He breathed, kneeling before her. He took her hand and kissed her knuckles softly in greeting, "I am Kyuubi."

"It's a pleasure Kyuubi-sama." Kaiko whispered, trying to repress her blush. This was her fiancé? How lucky~!

"The pleasure is all mine; Kaiko-hime." Kyuubi replied, a smirk stretching across his lips lightly. It made him look quite dashing…

Prince/Princess?

Minato jolted upright, panting heavily as if he had run a marathon. The fifteen-year-old Jounin looked around, it was his bedroom in his family's mansion and his six-year-old student had been curled into his side. He looked down into the sleepy, dark grey eyes of Hatake Kakashi, young and only son of the recently Late White Fang, Hatake Sakumo. Minato lay back down, "Sorry, did I wake you 'Kashi?" Minato asked, allowing Kakashi to cuddle back into his side. "I didn't mean to."

"It's ok Sensei," Kakashi replied sleepily. "We don't have anything to do today do we?" the child asked nuzzling his warm pillow, happy to have the warmth back. The last three days had been absolutely awful; finding his father dead was something that Kakashi had never thought he'd do. Kakashi hadn't even noticed that time had passed; he had stood there staring at his father's corpse until his teenage sensei had come to pick him up the next morning for training like he always did.

Minato had stared for all of about a minute before rushing Kakashi out of the house and calling the police. Since then, which was all of about two days, Kakashi had clung to Minato like a barnacle.

Minato wrapped his arms around the child, bringing one hand up to pet the boy's hair. "Not if you don't want to kiddo." Minato replied, taking a few days off to grieve sounded good. And even though Kakashi had already been a shinobi for a year, he was only six, a child. He still had trouble with his emotional training.

Minato looked out the window, wondering who that silver haired man from his dream was. He felt a longing to see the man again, to meet him. But would the man know who he was? And, who was he? Why did Minato want to see him so badly? Minato sighed, settling back into the bed, he was still tired. He yawned; closing his eyes Minato buried his nose in Kakashi's hair and tried to get back to sleep.

Sakumo-san had been a friend of Jiraiya-sensei, so he had often helped with Minato's training, when he wasn't training with one of the other Sannin anyway, with such a high death rate in the younger population of shinobi, the Sannin had done something rather clever. They shared their students. Minato was Jiraiya's last and only surviving student, so he got extra attention, as did Mitarashi Anko, Orochimaru's last student. The two of them made a fierce team, both seeing the other as a sibling; Minato was fiercely protective of her and she of him.

But, Minato and Kakashi weren't the only ones suffering from the loss of Sakumo, the White Fang's old team had been hit hard as well, Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina clung to each other desperately in grief. Hyuuga Hizashi, their teammate was almost as protective of the girls as Minato was of Anko and now Kakashi. But Kakashi was the one hit the hardest by Sakumo's suicide, Minato was going to have to find a different nickname now, maybe; he and the rest of the tight knit group had taken to calling him Baby Fang. [1]

Minato had given the moniker Baby Fang to Kakashi after asking Kakashi a question early into their first year of training, which had just ended. He remembered it well.

Prince/Princess?

"Hey Kakashi, why do you train so hard?" Minato asked when he found his tiny student who was already training for the third week in a row; he had been getting a head start on training by getting to the meeting point (a clearing in Training Ground 7 next to a small river and lake) early every day.

"I want to be just like my Chichi-ue!" Kakashi replied enthusiastically from the spot where he was shadow boxing on the lake. "Will you help me Minato-sensei?"

Minato blinked in surprise but then smiled. "Sure Kakashi…"

Prince/Princess?

Since then, the kid had been Baby Fang, to Kakashi's great delight. But now Sakumo was dead, and there was nothing that could bring the man back. Kakashi might not be the only one suffering, but the little child was suffering the most. Minato was glad that the Sandaime was giving them several days off to morn. Hopefully, though Minato wasn't about to hold his breath, this would be the worst thing to happen to his student.

(End)

Ok~! This is new, I suppose it could be seen as a companion to Kyuubi's Mate but don't take my word for it. It's an idea I got a few nights ago, in the hidden darkness of the Naruto world that Kishimoto-sensei doesn't really want to show us. One of the few differences between this and Kyuu's Mate is that Kushina is alive. I don't know if I'm going to change anything else though.

This takes place right after the death of The White Fang, so this is way before Gaiden. I'm not sure I'd be able to put Kakashi into the character of always being on time and almost quoting the rules…but I will try, let's face it, he's six it's gotta be hard at that age to shut down his emotions, and on top of that, he just lost his father who was his whole world!

[1] I got this name from "Wake Me up Inside". It's a Kaka/Naru time travel fic. I really liked the name, so credit where it's due.

Remember to review.
