Idea: Minato is the young son of Kyuubi, when he is almost too young to remember, Kyuubi leaves him in the Village of Konoha where he grows powerful quickly. Minato doesn't remember that he is even a demon, much less who his father is. Years later when Madara attacks the village, Father and Son are pitted against each other in a desperate battle. Once the son manages to wrest control of his Father from Madara, The Kyuubi stops attacking.

Summary: Minato has always suspected that he wasn't an orphan, no matter what everyone else says, he just knows that his parents are out there. He has vague memories but nothing that would lead anyone anywhere. He's in for a big surprise.

Warnings: Het, OOCness, OCs

Title: Kyuubi's Son

(Getting His Name and Hiding)

The next three years flew by for the new parents, and though their son was still small, it wasn't so concerning anymore. The young heir would always be small however. He was an active child, always running and jumping and playing, although his parents were never far away he had a surprising amount of freedom. For a three year old infant Fox Demon that is.

Kyuubi and Kybi kept a close eye on their only son, he was as healthy and playful and hyper as the other kits that lived in the palace even though he was smaller than them all. His size had no bearing on just how powerful their kit would one day be.

But then, the kits were attacked by another demon. Kyuubi's heir was the target of the attack. The Golden Kit was also the one most injured when it was over.

"We can't let this keep happening Kyuubi-kun!" Kybi wailed as she watched their baby being treated by the medics for the umpteenth time that month alone. "This is the closest our only child has come to dying on us…"

Kyuubi pulled her close, "We'll think of something my love. I have a solution, but you might not like it…"

Kybi looked up at her mate with tear filled eyes, "Well, let's hear it! Anything is better than watching our baby being attacked over and over again!"

"I know my love, I know," Kyuubi soothed, "We are going to have to hide him away. I might have to seal his memories and place him in a human village where he will be safe. If we want him to be as safe as possible that means that his hiding place will have to be far from Demon Country and away from us."

Kybi nodded miserably. "I realize that…" It was true, she'd have to give her precious baby boy up as much as it pained her, but at least he'd be safe! "I just wish we didn't have to be separated from him…"

"I as well my love, but there is nothing we can do." Kyuubi agreed. "I shall do research and then only after I have picked the best place for him will we leave him alone."

Kybi watched him walk away sadly. "I wish we didn't have to do this… give up our only child." She whispered.

Kyuubi's Son

Kyuubi sat at his desk about an hour later going through other demon and even some human villages, trying to decide where his kit would be safest. One just out at him. It was about half and half, a village that housed both demons and humans. Konoha was also a ninja village, and probably safer for his heir as a whole because the ninja there could teach him what he needed to survive.

Konoha had been founded a while ago by a demon cat clan called Uchiha and a human clan called Senju, it was known as a strong peaceful village, which was what Kyuubi wanted for his son. Kyuubi was pretty sure that he'd found the safest of places for his young kit to be hidden.

"Kita," Kyuubi called, for one of the older fox kits that worked and played around the palace, as he penned a short letter for the Sandaime Hokage.

"Yes Kyuubi-sama?" the eighteen-year-old fox demon asked as he entered the office. Kita was tall after six feet and had dark blue hair. This hair matched the color of his fur. He had icy blue eyes and despite his youth was one of the fastest carriers that Kyuubi employed. "You called?"

"Yes," Kyuubi turned to Kita and tossed the missive to him. "I need you to deliver that to the Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen of Konohagakure no Sato in Hi no Kuni."

"As you wish Kyuubi-sama," Kita replied before disappearing.

Kyuubi's Son

The Sandaime (an aging man with greying hair and kind eyes) looked up when he sensed another person in his office with him.

"Who's there?" he asked the suddenly too quiet room even his ANBU's breathing could normally be heard but not now. "Come out please."

A shadow detached itself from the wall and melted into the fox form of Kita, his fur was the same dark blue as his hair, and he stood three and a half feet at the shoulder. On his right shoulder there was an 'X' shaped scar, which identified him as one of Kyuubi's messengers. His form blurred and glowed as he retook his human form. "I have something for you Hokage-dono," Kita spoke quietly, he meant no harm, the older man's guards were unhurt, even if they were knocked out. He did it to ensure the safety of his king's heir, "It is from my leader and he wishes for you to seriously consider granting him this boon," Kita placed the scroll on Hiruzen's desk and waited for the old man to read it.

The old man nodded as he broke the seal on the scroll and read its contents. He read the letter three times before turning to Kita, "How often would he be coming to check on the boy if at all?" he asked.

"It would be maybe once a year." Kita answered promptly.

"I see…" Sarutobi gave the Fox Demon a thoughtful look, "What would happen if I were to allow your king to hide his son here?"

"You would be allowed to name the boy," Kita explained, "He doesn't have one because his parents are afraid to, there have been so many assassination attempts on his life that we've lost count. And he is only three years old!" Kita stressed.

"So, you fear for his life, and because of this he can't be named or it will single him out?" the Sandaime asked seriously, "But in order to live here he needs a name or he'll be lost…"

Kita nodded, glad that the Hokage understood, "As long as you give him a powerful name it shouldn't matter."

Hiruzen nodded, "Bring him here within the next week or so, I need to prepare a cover story for him.

Kita nodded, "I shall leave you to it than Hokage-sama." He promptly disappeared back into the shadows and was gone.

Kyuubi's Son

Kyuubi didn't look up, but he felt Kita's return. "How'd it go?"

"As well as can be expected Kyuubi-sama." Kita replied, "Hokage-dono has stated that if we bring the young prince to him in the next week or so he'll have a cover story ready.

Kyuubi nodded, "I see, then that is what we shall do."

Kyuubi's Son

About a week later, as the Hokage had requested, Kyuubi, Kybi and their young son appeared in Konoha.

Kyuubi and Kybi were led to the Hokage's Tower by ANBU; Hiruzen didn't want anything to happen while they were in the village.

The Hokage met them at the base of the Tower, "Welcome to Konoha."

"Thank you Hokage-dono," Kybi replied.

"Where is the baby?" Sarutobi asked.

"Here," Kybi whispered, she lifted the blanket away from the babe's face and gently handed him over.

"This child harbors great power within him, a whirling storm of power..." Sarutobi mused, "Yes... He is a Harbor and yet a Hurricane... Namikaze Minato..."

That last tiny bit took a while! Sorry for the wait!

Enjoy!
