Bella looked out at the calm waters of Lake Crescent as her feet swished random patterns on the crystalline water from her perch on the abandoned dock Naruto found for them. She didn't really plan this outing but a few coaxing words from her new roommate and the unbearable July humidity finally got her out of her bed to enjoy the good ol' outdoors. She wore some skimpy jean shorts (that Naruto totally picked) and a see through white tank top over her modest red bikini that matched Naruto's red board shorts that was purely coincidental on her part. Speaking of the blonde pervert, he's been gone for a couple minutes now after he randomly swore to touch the bottom of the lake… Ugh, vampires and their random impulses.

It's been about two weeks since the whole 'take a vote on my future' fiasco and Edward's presence has been scarce. In the past she'd be a nervous wreck over his absence but right now it was a good reprieve. She didn't know how to act around him now that she wasn't romantically interested in him, not to mention the small part of her that still remained angry at his betrayal. But aside from absent ex-boyfriends and best friends, oh did she forget to mention that? Jake was freezing her out again but she figured it's just his usual wolfy pms thing that he got just about every time she did something he didn't want her to do and she was so over doing things other people wanted her to do.

Anyways, apart from those two little hurdles the past two weeks have been… fun to put it simply. Everyday with Naruto was like an adventure since he apparently had 'vampire ADD' meaning, he has to be entertained constantly or else there would be 'dire consequences to pay' his words not hers. So in the past two weeks she's been hiking through forests looking for mountain lions, jumping off waterfalls, piggybacked while he 'tree hopped', egging and/or ding dong ditching random houses, cruised in Charlie's cruiser and that wasn't even half of what they've been up to. Today happened to be one of their more subdued outings; a day out in the lake, away from public eye of course.

She doesn't even know when they started getting close but through the course of two weeks they've settled into a comfortable friendship. A very affectionate friendship might I add but a friendship none the less. Though she was quite sure friends didn't kiss each other constantly, sleep in each other's arms, make out occasionally, and whisper sweet nothings in her ear when she wakes up from a nightmare, she wouldn't have whatever it is they have any other way.

"Penny for your thoughts? Or better yet, take this for your thoughts!" He dumped a pile of grey mud-like gunk on the dock and beamed in pride.

Bella's brows rose in confusion, inching away from the goop she gave it and the blonde a quizzical look. "Am I supposed to know what this gunk is?"

Naruto snorted. "Why that Bella is what the sand looks like at the bottom of the lake. Weird huh?" He said more to himself than to her.

She laughed and he listened, smiling softly at the way her body shook in laughter and the happy glow on her cheeks, which was a massive improvement from the haunted and frustrated look she donned the first time he saw her in Volterra. He groaned internally, since when did he smile and feel all giddy when a girl was all happy and glowing like Bella was. His hand reached down to check his junk and he sighed in relief, it was still there but Bella was turning him into such a girl with all these weird emotions he's been getting lately. The bad thing about it was that he couldn't stop himself from feeling this way even if he tried. He felt an unnatural pull to her and for the life of him he couldn't figure out why. It isn't his first rodeo in seducing a human but if he was honest with himself, and he's not he'd know that this was more than just his usual game but rather something more.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts he decided to cross that bridge when it gets sprung on him, 'cause if he knew girls and he did she'd bring this matter up with him when she realizes that he won't be bringing this up. For now he's content with their relationship. He's insanely attracted to her, she's crazy attracted to him so why not act on that attraction while seeing where this goes. Who knows, he might just make a mate out of her.

Bella looked at him fondly as he mussed his hair up, an amused smile settling on her lips. "Did you really get this from the bottom of the lake?"

Naruto threw her a slow grin and a thumbs up. "Believe it." He drawled. "Why're you still dressed anyways? We're at the lake for a reason B."

She sighed in exasperation. "Maybe I don't want to get my hair wet."

Splashing her playfully he laughed when she jumped like a scared kitty. "Come on B, don't be a girl." He taunted.

"I don't know if you're aware but I am a girl."

He leered at her appreciatively, his gaze lingering longer on her creamy mile long legs. "Oh I'm aware. But if you don't get outta those clothes in ten I'm gonna throw you in fully clothed." He rumbled.

Bella glared at him. "You wouldn't… actually never mind I know you'd do it." Sighing in defeat she threw her tank top off and shimmied out of her shorts, her cheeks burning from Naruto's intense stare. Faster than she could even say Naruto, she was already in his arms a couple of feet away from the dock.

"Hold on babe. I'm gonna show you how to really dunk someone." He grinned and ran full speed, jumping when he hit the edge of the dock and launching them a good fifty feet in the air, laughing like crazy while Bella screamed her head off.

They surfaced about a hundred and something feet away from the dock and Bella gaped at him in surprise. "What?" He asked.

"We jumped so far." She looked back and forth from where they were and where the dock was, still in shock.

He smirked. "I'm a vampire remember? Actually I can jump farther than that but didn't think you'd appreciate being bolted wayyy over there."

She pushed her hair out of her eyes and huffed at the blonde. "How thoughtful of you." She deadpanned.

"I know right." He smiled.

"I was being sarcastic."

"I know that too, but I'll take it either way."

Bella laughed and splashed the blonde playfully. "Don't get a lot of compliments?"

"Oh I do, just not for the things I want to be complimented on. Woe is me." He finished dramatically.

She laughed even harder before shivering involuntarily. "You know Shakespeare?"

"Nope, just heard people saying that and thought it was appropriate at the moment." He looked at her in concern. "You cold? You're lookin' kinda pale over there… well paler than normal but you know what I'm talking about."

"I-I'm fine!" She really did try to not stutter but her teeth were chattering way too fast.

"Right." His brow rose. "C'mere." He held his arms open, smirking at her skeptical expression.

"I don't t-think the body heat excuse w-would work with you."

Snorting in amusement Naruto closed the small distance between them and took her in his arms, mentally fist pumping when she wrapped her arms around his neck and her slender legs around his waist.

"Naru-"

"Shh." His eyes closed in concentration as he pulled on his accursed "gift" he felt the all-consuming rage and negativity invade his mind but he's learned a long time ago how to resist giving in and committing mass murder. It was hard to draw upon such a miniscule amount of this overwhelming power but he trusts himself enough not to lose it.

"How are you doing that?"

He could hear the awe in her voice and he grinned at her smugly. "It's my gift."

She didn't miss the disdain on his voice when he said gift. "Good to know my bodyguard's also a portable heater." She told him playfully. "So this is why you're an elite guard? You can heat yourself up at will?"

"Please, I can do a lot more than that."

"Maybe. Maybe not. I'll be the judge of that."

He scoffed. "If you're lucky you won't be seeing what I do to be considered an elite."

"And why's that?"

"'Cause what I do." He shook his head. "It even scares me sometimes."

"I'm not afraid of you, I don't think I ever will be." She murmured, the honesty in her voice plain as day. "Open your eyes."

"No."

"Why not?"

Naruto sighed, Bella was the weirdest human he's ever met. I mean did she not get that he was hiding his eyes from her to protect her sanity or whatever? He was a hundred and fifty percent sure that she'd ask him how and why he has these slitted eyes and 'gift' but the story behind these eyes would surly rock her fragile view of the world and he didn't want to be responsible for breaking the poor girl. Unfortunately for him, he was a sucker for a cute girls.

"Fine." He grunted. "You asked for it."

His eyes fluttered open and her breath caught in her throat. "Your eyes…"

"Yeah." He said dryly.

"They look like a cat's." She marveled.

Naruto bristled. "Don't you mean a fox?"

She shrugged. "I've never seen foxes up close so I wouldn't know."

"So…" He continued slowly. "This doesn't freak you out at all?"

"Naruto. I'm surrounded by vampires and wolves, don't you think I'd be used to seeing unordinary stuff by now?"

He blinked. "Oh. Right. I almost forgot you were a freaky human."

"Hey! I resent that. But seriously, what happened to your eyes? They weren't always like that."

"Happens whenever I use my gift."

Bella pouted and gave him the puppy dog eyes. "And you're really not gonna show me what it is?"

Rolling his eyes he held his left hand up, concentrating momentarily until it was engulfed in red flames. "I know it's pretty but don't touch." He cautioned. "It's extremely hot and toxic to humans… actually it's toxic to pretty much anyone or anything that's not me."

Bella gazed at his hand intently as he dipped it below the water, to her surprise it didn't fizzle out like a normal flame would but it was still going strong, boiling and bubbling the water surrounding it. "Wow." She breathed. "You're a fire starter? That's not that scary."

Naruto's eyes rolled for the umpteenth time, letting out a weary sigh he mentally prepped himself for the inevitable "origins" conversation that he was sure Bella would bug him about. "It's not fire B, it's energy. They called it chakra."

"They?" Her brow rose, Naruto never talked about his human life before, whenever she asked him about it he'd deflect the question or answer with another weird question.

"My… Handlers."

"Handlers?"

"How familiar are you with World War II?" He questioned.

"Are you doing that thing where you're answering my questions with another question so you can avoid answering my original question?" She rushed out.

"Uh no. That was a legit question."

"Oh well then I don't really know much about it other than what they taught us in the history books."

"If I tell you this." He shook his head. "I just want you to promise, no I want you to try to understand that not everything is at it seems. Just try not to judge alright?" He said hoarsely.

His serious tone took her by surprise, he was almost always fooling around with her, joking with her or making her laugh. This was a surprising turn of events. She nodded. "Was that when you were turned?"

"Kind of, but my story starts a couple of years before the actual war. See what they don't tell you in the books is that Japan and Germany were in it way before shit went down. Hitler was a junkie for the supernatural and well Japans pretty much a melting pot of the weird and freaky, so they cut a deal. Hitler wanted a super soldier and not that Captain America upgrade shit either he wanted a natural super soldier, a whole 'nother kind of super breed and lucky for him Emperor Showa had his own demons."

"Emperor Showa?"

He nodded. "He was the current emperor at the time, your books might call him Emperor Hirohito. Anyways before I was so rudely interrupted."

Bella smiled at him sheepishly.

"I was saying how Hitler lucked out that the Emperor had the nine great demons, the Bijuu, protecting him. And I say protect loosely since they were bound by blood seals and was technically forced to obey their handlers." Naruto's nose scrunched in distaste, demon or not no one deserved to have their free will stripped from them.

"…Demons?" She questioned disbelievingly.

"Yeah, demons. The Emperor's occultists summoned them, the group called themselves the Akatsuki, but they alone couldn't control the demons without help from the Uzumaki clan." Naruto saw her lips part most likely to ask another question but he pressed his hand to her lips gently. "Questions later. The Uzumaki clan was a clan of Shinto priests and priestesses that could control Demons by their blood and ink alone through seals. So with combined effort from both parties the nine great demons, or tailed beasts as others put 'em in legend now were summoned and controlled to protect the emperor."

"The demons were… compliant at best, except for the ninth. The nine-tailed fox rebelled the most, being the strongest of the tailed beasts and a demon of rage no seal, spell or ritual could hold him for long. The only thing that kept him 'obedient' were the sacrifices… But I'm going off tangent now. Anyways Hitler knew about these demons and he struck up a deal with the Emperor. In return for an alliance with 'the greatest nation' he demanded super soldiers, a child born of each of the nine. The Emperor agreed, he picked the strongest women to bear the children but the ninth was special, the Akatsuki and the Uzumaki knew that no normal woman could hold his child so they picked an Uzumaki. Kushina Uzumaki. Eight children didn't make it, they were much too human to contain and use the demon's powers and their death sent the demons in a fit of blind rage."

"The Akatsuki and the Uzumakis, for all the power they thought they possessed they were still human. They couldn't handle eight raging demons so they cut the seals and sent them back to Makai or hell to put it simply. The child of the ninth survived, with the blood of the Uzumaki present as a kind of fail-safe or control factor for the demon blood, he grew up under the watchful eye of the demon, his mother and the rest of the palace. He was trained by the demon for the sole reason of not wanting his kit to be weak and for another reason… By the time the child was seven he was a living breathing killing machine. He was sent off to Germany for a "test-run" and he passed with flying colors, destroying a town single handedly and coming out with no injuries whatsoever. They sent him back to Japan for more training, after all if these were the results of a few years of training then what more could be achieved with a couple more."

"The terms were to hand over the child when he turned eighteen. By that time he would be invincible but what they didn't know was that the child's mother and the demon had their own agenda. His mother loved him, she placed him over her clan and her Emperor and it killed her to see her son get used like that. The Kyuubi however just wanted out, he wanted to go back to Makai and he knew full well that Kushina alone could send him back there so they made a compromise. He would train their child until he turned sixteen and after that Kushina would release him from his seals after he helped them escape."

"The child flourished under the Kyuubi's training but eventually, the poisonous energy that he inherited from the demon began to take its toll. No human was meant to hold that much power, Shinto blood or not it was only a matter of time before he succumbed. The pain wasn't all physical though, every time he used it, he waged a mental war. That power was corrupt, full of anger and hatred for everything and anything under the sun. Would you believe he even hurt his beloved mother on accident under the influence of that power? But that tragedy was a blessing in disguise, it was a wake-up call for him. After that event he was humbled, he learned to control this energy, this chakra to a greater degree and at the end of his training Kyuubi himself told the child how proud he was but it didn't matter. All the kid wanted was to be free with his mother, and they did get that freedom. With the Kyuubi's help they managed to escape the palace and settle down in an isolated village in the mountains of Japan."

"True to her word Kushina released Kyuubi from his seals and as a parting 'present' he surged more chakra into his son. It was too much though, with the additional demonic chakra, his body started to give. Everyday was a struggle he had to release chakra at a constant rate and train for hours just to get by. He wasn't the only one suffering though, the injury that he inflicted on his mother didn't really heal up. The residual chakra was killing her from the inside out. Despite the pain they lived a fairly peaceful and happy life. They thought they were free from their past but they were wrong. Three years later, the Akatsuki and a handful of Uzumaki warriors appeared in the village… I don't remember much after that but do you get what I'm saying Bella?"

Bella swallowed thickly, his story was enthralling but it was hard to believe that demons exist but if vampires and werewolves exist why couldn't they? "Y-you're the child aren't you?"

"Yes."

"But then…"

"Yeah, I'm a half demon. Look I get if you want space from me now. I don't blame you." He muttered dejectedly.

"No." She shook her head. "I'm not afraid of you Naruto, how do you remember all of that? Edward told me before that vampires often times forget their human lives."

"My mother's journal, only thing I have of her along with a picture. I just know that after the Akatsuki came… they killed my mother and I lost it." His voice cracked. "Next thing I know, one of the Akatsuki's dragging me to the Volturri and here I am."

"I'm sorry." She said simply, hugging herself closer to him for comfort. They floated there in a comfy silence ruined only by Naruto's amused chuckles. Lifting her head from his shoulder she gave him a questioning glance. "What?"

"Nothin' just a first for me to have a deep conversation floating in the middle of a lake." He grinned at her.

Bella had to giggle at that one. "Yeah I can't say I've done this a lot either."

"Honestly though. Thanks."

Her brow rose. "For?"

"Not judging me, being afraid of me? Accepting me. Not a lot of people would be as open-minded as you and you didn't even flinch when you found out that I'm… less human than you thought I was."

She blushed. "I-its nothing."

"Nah, it's really not nothing B. Forreal though you're the best, sweet girl."

"Naruto!"

"Aw am I embarrassing you?"

"Yes. No! Your hands on are my butt!"

Squeezing said butt, Naruto grinned at her saucily. "I can't help it. It's so squishy and bubblicious."

Her cheeks lit up. "You're such a perv."

"You love it though." He purred in her ear. Taking her earlobe between his lips, he sucked on it gently, flicking his tongue against it provocatively drawing out a muffled moan from the embarrassed girl. Pulling back he smiled at her gently, he took a look at the setting sun, inwardly wondering how fast time flew by. "We should get going, it's getting pretty late and chief Swan might turn the town upside down looking for you."

"Yeah." She looked at the dock forlornly, dreading the long swim. "Ugh I hate you right now, do you see how far we have to swim."

"Lazy ass." Chuckling, Naruto shifted her so she was on his back. "You don't have to swim baby. Just sit back there and wrap those sexy legs around me and let me do all the work."

Naruto ran his hands over her legs, causing her to bury her face in the crook of his neck to muffle her moan. "Just go." She mumbled out.

"Your wish is my command princess. I can show you the world, dazzling, shimmering, splendid!"

She laughed, an amused smile curling on her lips as he sang to her comically. "It's shining, not dazzling Naruto."

"See, I knew there was a reason I kept you around." He teased.

OVO

"Man it reeks of dog shit in here."

Bella's lips pursed at the blonde as she sniffs around, she didn't really smell anything different in her room aside from the usual lavender wallflower thing she kept plugged in unless… She turned to her desk and saw a piece of crumpled white paper with a few barely legible words on it. She'd know that messy scrawl anywhere, it was Jacob's. She tried to make out some words but all she could really get was 'come, forest, yard, soon, read, friend.'

"Looks like someone wants us out in the forest." Naruto drawled behind her.

She nods an affirmative but mentally, she's freaking out. If Jacob and the pack were hostile against the Cullens, who were nothing but nice and civil she didn't even want to know what could happen if they saw Naruto. She just didn't want anyone to get hurt.

"Are we going?" He questioned.

She turned to look at him only to come face to face with his broad chest and she blushed at how close they were. Bella didn't know why it felt so intimate to her when really they were just two friends standing really really close to each other. She tilted her head back to look at his face. Her eyes were drawn to the six wide whisker-like tattoos on his cheeks and she wonders how he's going to fit in with those and what story those tattoos tell.

Her tongue darted out to wet her lips. "We don't really have a choice." Wringing her hands nervously she let out a shaky breath. There was a lot on the line with this confrontation, the Cullens could be forced to leave town, Jake or his pack might get hurt or Naruto might not get out of this alive if this went down badly.

Naruto watched Bella like a hawk, she was nervous about meeting whoever sent this note and that by itself set him on edge. Were they dangerous, friends or enemies? Thoughts about who these people were did nothing for the current situation and he scoffed mentally. He was the best of the guard for Christ's sake not to mention a legitimate badass. He could handle this.

"Who exactly are we meeting?"

"Do you remember when Carlisle mentioned something about a treaty with the wolves?"

He nodded.

"Well I guess they found out about you sooner than expected and yeah…" She trailed off.

Naruto looked at her blankly, she really wasn't making any sense to him right now. All he got was that they're meeting up with some wolves to discuss some treaty and he honestly couldn't see what's so nerve wracking about that. He's dealt with werewolves before and they weren't really that intimidating once you show them who's alpha. But then again werewolves were usually alone or in pairs, the way Carlisle and Bella referred to them made it sound like he was dealing with a lot more than two.

"And these wolves you're talking about, they're werewolves right?"

Her eyes rolled. "No. We're going to meet up with a bunch of wolves so they can howl at you about the treaty." She replied sarcastically.

He laughed good-naturedly, guess he deserved that one for asking a dumb question. "Well it's a good thing its not a full moon out otherwise it might be trouble."

Her eyes narrowed in confusion, shouldn't he know that werewolves don't change with the moon? "No." She said slowly. "These wolves don't need the moon to shift. They can do change at will."

Naruto's eyes lit up in recognition. "We're not dealing with werewolves here princess, we're dealing with shifters."

It was her turn to be confused now. "Shifters?"

"Yeah. They're not exactly werewolves for a whole lotta reasons."

"Like?"

"Real werewolves can turn others into one of them through biting them and they only change into wolves on a full moon. They're not sentient when they change either they forget their humanity but they're a hundred times stronger and more durable. Where it takes a pack of shifters to take down one vampire. One werewolf can go toe to toe with one of us."

"Oh." She said simply. She didn't really know what to make of this new information other than be thankful that Jake and them aren't real werewolves.

Naruto shifted his weight impatiently, Forks was pretty tame and this new discovery might just be the entertainment he needs (aside from getting Bella to blush and make out with him of course) to cut loose a little and get the good ol' adrenaline pumping.

"So we goin' or not?" He asked excitedly.

"Naruto. We're not meeting them to start a fight. We're meeting them to prevent one." She said sternly, though she couldn't stop the smile tugging on her lips as he feigned innocence.

"Hn I won't attack them if they don't attack me, if they do then its free game."

Bella bit her lip in thought, an attack against Naruto was inevitable knowing Jacob's tendency to overreact and she didn't know how good of a fighter Naruto was though according to Carlisle he was no pushover. But pushover or not she wasn't sure if Naruto alone could face the entire pack and get out of it alive. Err well alive for him but you get the picture. It was odd, she thought, that in the short time she's known him she's come to care for him as much as she would Edward, Jacob, Charlie or anyone of the Cullens. But it was something more than that, something deeper and irresistible, almost burning in its intensity and it scares her.

Some part of her knew that She and Edward wouldn't work. How could they when he purposely put up barriers between them that only served to increase the distance that she already felt just by being with him? His perfection had always been an issue for her, it was just so hard to stand next to him knowing she'd never be on equal footing, never get to have that carefree and natural relationship that most teenage girls wish for. All because he wouldn't try since 'he didn't trust himself' with her and because of her own insecurities. How could she place her full trust on someone that didn't even trust himself? She realizes now how absurd and unrealistic her expectations were for her previous relationship and she realizes now how she was in love with the thought of Edward rather than Edward himself.

Still, it doesn't change the fact that he was her first love and as the saying goes "First love is the sweetest, but that first cut is the deepest." And she could attest to that, pretty much anyone who's seen her right after he left would say she was nothing more than a breathing statue. It was only thanks to Jacob that she didn't succumb to despair, her only regret being she doesn't feel the same way he does towards her. He's like a brother to her and she doesn't see that changing. Ever.

But now onto the topic at hand, her bizarre, intense and most definitely scary attraction to the newest vampire in her life. She doesn't even know how to explain it but the first time she saw him she just felt something click. There was something about him that made her feel normal and that was saying a lot. In the crazy supernatural world that she's suddenly found herself immersed in, he made her feel human. The way he flirts with her touches her and treats her and the way she responds to him. It feels so easy and so natural that it's like breathing. And that's what scares her. She knows that he's not here to stay; he's only here until she gets turned and then he's gone. So where does that leave her? She hopes that what she's feeling right now is a two way street but whenever he looks at her with those desire filled eyes or tells her how beautiful she is or holds her in his tender embrace, part of her thinks it is.

"Earth to Bella?" He waved a hand in front of her face and tilted her chin up gently to look her eye to eye.

"What? Sorry Naruto I spaced out." She smiled up at him sheepishly.

Naruto stared at her eyes narrowed and a smirk in place; leaning down to her he nuzzled his cheek to hers. "You weren't thinking about anything dirty right? 'Cause if you were I can definitely make that happen." He purred out.

At least she was kind of used to his antics by now. Two weeks and a couple of days in and she's managed to tame the raging blush she'd usually get from his teases to a subtle but still visible pink tinge on her cheeks. Rolling her eyes playfully she shoved him away or at least tried to but he went along with it.

"Actually, I was thinking about how you're not going to be in bed with me for a week if you start a fight." She bantered cheekily.

He gasped exaggeratedly, staring her down to see if she'd fold and beaming mentally when she didn't. His girl was learning and he was way proud. "Fine." His shoulders slumped. "Can I at least get a kiss? You know, for like incentive or whatever."

"Maybe."

He smiled. "I'll take that as a yes." Naruto closed his eyes and puckered up, fully expecting Bella's soft lips on his but what he didn't expect was for her hands (with titanic effort might I add) to squeeze his cheeks together till his lips pursed up like a fish's. "Bewwa." He complained childishly.

Bella laughed in response at his complaint and the ridiculous expression on his face before pressing a quick and chaste kiss on his over puckered lips. Her cheeks took on a rosy tint as she released his face. She took his hand in hers and tugged him out of her room. "Let's go, wouldn't be good if we kept them waiting."

"Aw babe that wasn't nice." He pouted.

She smiled. Being with him? It was just like breathing.
