So yeah... I went there. It wouldn't leave me alone okay! Blame Theo! He always drives me insane with ideas that don't make sense and yet at the same time in some bizzare way it does! So just leave it alone! I'm gonna go curl up in a corner and ponder my sanity now! I swear I'm not on drugs! I just have a really weird imagination! Although that idea of hyper Naruto being paired with calm, naive Castiel is rather funny, but still! Just read it! If you don't like then click back!

Supernatural/Naruto x-over
"Wait, could you repeat that?" Dean questioned as he tried not to gape openly at the pair. Sam wasn't as lucky but could you really blame him? Both Winchesters were confused as hell which was never a good thing in their book. Now normally having Castiel suddenly pop in without warning was something they were used to and often expected. After all, they were all working together to put an end to Lucifer and the Apocalypse not to mention that Castiel was still on the run for abandoning Heaven and searching for God. So yes, it wasn't too surprising to see him anymore. But it was the other male next to him that really threw them for a loop.
The guy looked barely out of his teens, perhaps twenty tops. His hair was a vibrant gold that rested upon his head in a disheveled fashion, as if someone ran their hands through it before he arrived not to mention his blue blue eyes. They were a shade or two lighter than Castiel's and certainly expressed more than the angel's ever did. His skin was a soft tan and his body was lean, but muscled and sleekly compact; a swimmer's build. And he was grinning so widely the Winchesters wondered if his cheeks hurt; speaking of which they had also noticed strange scars upon his face, almost like whisker marks.
All in all, he was a strange individual but something about him set them off. The way he moved and held himself with a sort of practiced grace; as if he was used to being light on his feet and sneaking around. Not to mention the way his eyes took everything in. To a normal person it seemed that the stranger was merely curious and looking around, but to trained hunters they understood that this was not the case. They could immediately spot a soldier checking for any sort of threats and mapping out escape routes. Despite his appearance, Dean and Sam realized that this man wasn't who he appeared to be.
"I wish to introduce you to Naruto Uzumaki, my soul mate," Castiel repeated, "He has agreed to help us in our fight against Lucifer."
Dean sputtered while Sam looked torn between confused and curious as he studied the blond closer. He asked, "Is he another angel?"
"Nope! I'm a Kitsune youkai or a fox demon in your tongue," Naruto chirped. Things moved swiftly as guns were cocked and Castiel pushed the slightly shorter male behind him, standing in front of him protectively. The angel's blue eyes narrowed and flashed with hidden power which set the brothers on edge. They had never seen Castiel act in such a way and they didn't know what to make of it.
"Cas, get out of the way! It's a demon!" Dean hissed in annoyance, but there was concern for his friend in his features.
"He is not like the demons you know. He is a creature of the earth, an animal spirit if you will and the last of his kind. Naruto's power comes from the energies of the elements, what he calls chakra and is not a threat to us. He is my soul mate, specialty picked by my Father just for me and I will not allow you to harm him," Castiel growled in an uncharacteristic manner which implied how serious he was about the matter.
Dean and Sam glanced at each other before reluctantly lowering their weapons while Naruto stepped forward placing a hand on Castiel's arm. Nuzzling his shoulder and purring softly to him the blond demon sighed, "It's okay Cas just calm yourself. It's not like they could hurt me anyway."
"That is not the point Naruto. You have offered your services therefore they should treat you with more trust and respect," Castiel argued. Smiling gently the blond demon leaned up and placed a chaste kiss on his angel's cheek whispering in his ear, "You have no need to fear Castiel. I won't die and leave you alone. We've both waited a long time for each other and I don't think that your god would be cruel enough to part us."
The brothers watched as Castiel seemed to relax and nod, leaning into Naruto when he gave him another kiss on the cheek although this one was closer to his mouth. The angel blushed while his mate smiled fondly, obviously amused over Castiel's embarrassed and naïve reactions.
"Christo," Dean muttered suddenly waiting for a reaction. It wasn't that Dean didn't trust Castiel, the guy rebelled against Heaven for them after all, but the last time a demon decided to "help" them it turned out to be a ploy to actually start the mess they were in. Unfortunately nothing happened as Naruto merely raised an eyebrow at the hunter amusement in his eyes. Eyes that were mocking Dean, he knew they were.
"Can't blame you for being cautious, keeps you alive after all. But I think you should have a little more trust in Castiel," Naruto stated pressed against his mate's side while rubbing his hands lightly over his back to sooth him. Naruto never liked it when Castiel was stressed and because the angel had banned him from getting involved with the Apocalypse, the blond would do whatever else he could to keep his mate content. But things were different now and Naruto was unable to stand by any longer while his soul mate was out fighting and risking his life.
That's why he was here, to help put an end to Lucifer's terror and make sure he didn't lose the one good thing in his life. Naruto had already lost too much in the past so he was selfish when it came to anything involving Castiel. He would slaughter millions if it kept his angel safe and alive. Even the darker part of him would sacrifice the Winchesters if it meant keeping Castiel protected. It was the truth no matter how cruel it seemed.
"Sorry, it's just," Sam paused, "Well usually when we get involved with demons it never turns out great for us."
Naruto nodded in understanding, "Can't blame you for not trusting the bastards but I'm not like them physically or mentally. If anything those guys are like my very very VERY distance cousins, five times removed. Not to mention they're weak compared to myself, I mean not to sound cocky but most of the time when they get a glimpse of me they turn tail and run because they know I'm on a whole other level compared to them."
"Oh? You're that bad ass huh? Then let me ask you, why suddenly decide to help us?" Dean questioned suspiciously, "What's in it for you?"
Naruto grinned, "I wanted to help before but soul mates tend to be overprotective of each other so Castiel asked me to remain hidden where I would be safe. I complied at first because I wanted to respect his wishes, but I can't stand by anymore. I'm not made to be timid, I was bred to fight. So I convinced Cas to let me help plus it allows me to keep a better eye on him. Can't tell you how much I worried when he was gone I'm surprised I haven't gone grey yet."
"Well I guess that makes sense," Sam muttered. Dean didn't look completely convinced but he was smart enough not to say anything else on the matter. In the end it was only his trust in Castiel that kept him from wasting the "demon".
"Well anyway!" Naruto chirped, "It's late so you two should probably get some sleep while I get a room for Castiel and I."
"Alright, we're heading out at nine tomorrow," Sam explained. The blond nodded in understanding cheerfully dragging the angel toward the door. He bid the brothers a quick goodnight before disappearing outside to head to the office. Castiel merely followed in confusion and fondness having always enjoyed how carefree his soul mate could be.
Getting a room was no challenge as Naruto was charming and polite as he chatted away with the woman manning the front desk. Another trait Castiel admired about Naruto was his ability to get along with anyone he met although sometimes the angel didn't appreciate how the humans flirted with his mate. But Naruto would brush them off as gently as he could and always came back to Castiel hugging his arm as if he'll disappear. It felt good to know that the blond demon cared for him so much.
When they reached their room Naruto immediately flopped onto the bed and stretched out sighing in pleasure while Castiel merely stood and watched him. Opening his eyes Naruto smiled and held out his arms beckoning him. Castiel complied as he carefully pulled off his trench coat and neatly set it aside along with his shoes before walking over to climb onto the bed. It was a habit that Castiel often let Naruto indulge in since the blond had been deprived of emotional security most of his youth.
Cuddling close to the angel, Naruto sighed happily as his illusion dropped away revealing furry fox ears and a fluffy tail which immediately wrapped around Castiel's waist. And like many times before Castiel reached down to stroke it reverently, enjoying the softness of his fur and the soothing purr that always rose in his throat.
"Mmm, feels good," Naruto hummed happily snuggling closer to his angel. Castiel's eyes softened as he spoke, "I'm pleased."
It was quiet between them as Castiel continued to stroke Naruto's tail while the blond merely relaxed and listened to his mate's heart beat. Tenderly he whispered, "You know I'll protect you right? When it comes down to it it'll always be you I choose in the end because you're mine and I'm selfish."
"I understand," Castiel replied.
Shifting to lean over the angel Naruto smiled warmly as he purred, "Good."
The kiss they shared was slow and chaste as they savored the warmth of their bond. It had been strange of Naruto when he was first approached by God and Castiel, on the brink of darkness and insanity as he stood in the midst of his ruined village and life. He had just lost everything he cared for and felt he couldn't go on any longer, he was tired. Then they had appeared in a ray of glowing light.
Naruto hadn't wanted to believe at first when God told him of his destiny, to be the companion and soul mate to an angel. He had just wanted to die, to return to his friends and family as he faded away into the Earth. But then he caught Castiel's gaze and the bond had snapped into place. He still hurt, he had still been in pain and utter agony over his loss, but Castiel was suddenly there holding him in his arms and cradling him with his soft wings.
He had slowly taken the pain away and healed him, filled in the cracks with his pure love and utter devotion. Naruto had never felt anything like it before and he learned to accept Castiel for the angel became everything to him; his friend, his brother, his lover, his mate. Castiel was his as much as he was the angel's. This meant that Naruto would protect him no matter the cost and that's why he was willing to fight even the devil himself! Lucifer was a threat that needed to be eliminated and that's what Naruto would do. After all if he was cursed with his powers as Kyuubi, he might as well put them to use.
Pulling away slightly to breathe, Naruto smiled, "I love you Castiel."
"And I you Naruto. I thank Father every day for being granted you as my companion," Castiel replied. Naruto snuggled closer yawning softly as he questioned, "Do you think when this is all over that we can finally start our own family?"
Castiel blinked, "You wish… for children?"
"I think… it would be nice. Not now, but someday soon. I've always wished for a family of my own," Naruto confessed. The angel appeared thoughtful before hugging his tired mate closer, stroking his hair. Leaning down to place a kiss on his forehead he said, "Perhaps if we pray to Father and show our sincerity, he will grant us our wish."
"Mmm, sounds good," Naruto purred as he began to drift to sleep enjoying the warmth of his soul mate who stood vigilant over him, dreaming of a day when they could truly be a happy family. But until that day, they would fight and hold fast to each other gazing toward a promising future at the end of their path.
Hope I kept everyone in character. If not oh well! I tried! If you liked it then yay you're a crazy as me! And for those of you who don't like it, then go back to where you came from. Cause if you bitch, I'm gonna roast your asses! So until next time!
