Twilight x Naruto
AN. Is it me or after the Twilight films you've never been able to look at vampire movies the same again? Anyways I sorta hate how Meyer portrayed Bella in the books. I mean come on, Edward ditches her and when he comes back it only takes a couple of lame apologies & reassurances and they're good all of a sudden. Not to mention the fact that he practically blackmailed her to marry him. Yep. Fuck that noise.
Warnings:
This is not a yaoi.
Naruto will be a little ooc as in my other fic except here he's a vampire and a perv.
Bella won't be such an indecisive pushover with pretty much everything.
And lastly, this fic is not to be taken too seriously. I just like writing romantic fluffy stuff B)
Disclaimer: Kishimoto owns Naruto, Meyer owns Twilight and I own the plot.

"Don't you get it? I don't want you to come with me." Edward said softly.
Bella looked at him wide-eyed, her lips trembled as she spoke. "What… you don't want me?"
The golden-eyed vampire stared at her impassively, his face not betraying any emotion. "No. I never did." He sneered. "Did you think I'd actually want a human?"
"Wh-what but you told me! You told me you'd never leave! You told me that you loved me!" She cried out.
"Tsk I'm a very good liar. Forget about me Isabella, it will be better for both of us."
"No!" She reached out to him, desperately clutching at his signature beige coat. "Edward please I need you."
Edward looked at the hysterical girl and for the first time since they entered the forest Bella saw her old Edward. His eyes gave him away but it was no use, he shrugged off her hand gently as he walked out of the forest.
"You'll forget about me. Don't worry time heals all wounds."
Bella's breaths came hard and fast, she shook as she fell on the forest floor watching Edward's back as he walked away from her. How could this happen, they went from being a happy, if not a bit intense couple to a hasty break up. She shook her head as she tried to contain the sobs that threatened to take over her body. It made no sense to her but even then she called out his name. Even after he broke her she still called out to him.
"Edward!"

Brown eyes snapped open as Bella took in a shaky breath; she ran her hand through her damp sweat-soaked hair as she exhaled softly. She hasn't had one of those dreams in awhile. Bella wondered what brought that on as she stared at nothing in particular, letting her mind wander to other less depressing thoughts. Oh wait, she went to Italy to save Edward and Charlie grounded her for the rest of her life… but that was just a dream…
"Bad dream?" A deep baritone voice drawled out from the darkness.
Okay, never mind. Maybe she wasn't dreaming but that means… Bella gasped and drew the covers tighter around herself.
"Naruto!" She hissed.
"Ooh nana, that's my name." He sung off key and she bit her lip for a second before bursting out in giggles at the epic fail and the fact that a guy like him would know that song.
"But seriously did you have to draw the covers up that high? I was enjoying the view." He grumbled.
Bella could practically see the smirk on his lips as she rolled her eyes. "What are you doing here?" She squinted and looked around. "And where are you?"
She felt the bed dip as a cold finger trailed down her cheek. Her cheeks flushed and he chuckled.
"I'm right here and I'm your bodyguard, where else would I be but at your side?" Naruto replied casually.
Bella frowned, her lips parted to protest but he beat her to the punch.
"And before you bitch and moan about not needing a bodyguard." He shrugged. "The Volturi has spoken, and their will shall be done." Naruto declared with uncharacteristic seriousness.
The brunette's eyes narrowed. "So there's no way around it? You're stuck with me until… my times up?" She mumbled.
Naruto scoffed. "Don't be silly I'm not stuck with you. I'm pretty excited to be around you… if you know what I'm saying." He teased and laughed quietly when his sensitive hearing picked up on her teeth grinding together.
"I'm being serious here. Why would Aro send one of his elites to protect me?" She questioned.
The blonde hummed in thought. "Well for one he's interested in you since you were able to block out Janie's powers and two I've been bugging him for an extended assignment/vacation out of Volterra so I guess he figured he'd kill two birds with one stone."
Bella's jaw dropped at the straightforward if not a bit childish reasoning of the vampire royals. "So you being here… its just a paid vacation?"
Naruto's eyebrows rose, though she couldn't see it in the dark. "Don't say it like that." He shushed. "You'll make me look bad. I'm here on official guard duty." He whispered conspiratorially.
Bella let out an amused snort. "Why are you whispering? It's only you and me in here and Charlie's a pretty heavy sleeper."
"If you only knew." He sighed. "I've been fighting off your stalker for the better part of the night. Verbally of course." He added. "Don't think you or the old man would appreciate a brawl out in your yard."
Bella swallowed thickly. "Edward was here? How was he?"
Naruto chortled. "Don't you think it's kind of fucked up how the first thing that comes to your mind when I say stalker is 'Edward'? Anyways he was fine but I think he was upset I ruined his stalker status though." Naruto shivered. "Hell if I wasn't here he'd probably be laying beside you staring at you sleep."
Bella tried to keep a straight face, she really did, but she just had to laugh at the ridiculousness of Naruto's statement. "You're probably right." She smiled.
"Mhmm." He hummed. "You should go to bed Bella, we got a big day ahead of us tomorrow."
Her brow rose. "A big day?"
"Yup Eddie told me he'd be here bright and early to take us to the Cullens. Well actually he said you but I'm your bodyguard so we're like a package deal." He answered.
"The Cullens are back?" Bella asked excitedly.
"Uh I guess." He replied, unsure of how to deal with an excited Bella.
Bella smiled in content. "That's good, I missed them a lot when they were gone."
"Uh huh which is why you needa go to bed young lady." He mock scolded. "The sooner you wake up, the sooner you can go see them."
"I can't sleep yet." She whispered.
"Is it 'cause of the dream?"
She nodded.
He placed a cold large hand on her shoulder. "Wanna talk about it? I'm all ears." His low baritone voice rumbled out and for some reason she couldn't fathom, she felt like she could lay it all out to him.
Bella shook her head. "It's not really a three in the morning type of conversation, maybe some other time?"
Naruto squeezed her shoulder gently. "Okay. At least lay down though, you'll strain your neck if you fall asleep sitting up."
Bella complied she shimmied down her mattress as she let out a squeak of surprise when she collided with Naruto's cold body under the covers.
The blonde's brow rose. "What? You didn't really think I'd be sitting on that wooden chair all night did you?" He questioned.
"W-what… I… Uh…" Bella sputtered.
Naruto snickered as he wrapped his arms around her. He scooted closer to her till her back was flush against his bare chest. "Do I make you uncomfortable." He purred in her ear.
Bella shivered, and not all of it was from the cold. She felt his chest rumble as he spoke and she couldn't help but compare Edward and Naruto's presence, the latter was a bit unexpected though definitely not unwelcome.
Edward, she began, was more lithe and slender compared to Naruto's Bulky frame and just overall hugeness and when Edward embraced her like this it was never so… full? Or rather encompassing. Edward usually kept a safe distance between them but Naruto... He had no sense of personal space. His thick arms surrounded her like a blanket and there was barely any space between his body and hers, she just felt so secure and small but in a way that made her feel more feminine.
But aside from the obvious physical differences, what with Edward having bronze hair and Naruto a lively shade of blonde, there was just something so different about Naruto. Maybe it was the way he carried himself or how he interacted with people in general but his easy-going, friendly, and laid-back attitude was a breath of fresh air from the angst-fest that was her life.
"Bella?" He nudged her with his head. "I was just kidding. I'll go rot my ass off in that chair if you want." He said in a joking tone with a hint of concern.
Bella blushed when she realized she'd spent a good amount of time just spacing out and comparing Edward and Naruto. She felt his arms retreat but she held on to him.
Naruto wrapped his arms around her again. "Bella?"
"Don't." She whispered.
"Huh?"
"You can stay here. It-It's been awhile since I've been held like this. It feels nice." She said softly and wistfully.
Naruto growled lowly. "I'm not Edward." He responded in the same soft tone, not wanting to break the intimacy of the moment.
Bella's lips curled into a gentle smile. "I know."
