Idea: This is a bit different Sailor Moon/Naruto crossover. No idea where this came from… When Minato turns eighteen, he finds that he has another set of memories in his head. And when he meets a familiar silver haired man, he's not sure what to do.
Summary: 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. Character Death. Leaning towards a possible threesome! Kyuubi/Minato/Kushina! Look for the hints!
Title: Namikaze Minato… Princess? of the moon?
(The Naming of the Yondaime)
One of Kaiko's delicate golden eyebrows rose as a man approached her, "Prince Endymion of Earth?"
He swallowed nervously, "Yes, that's me… And you are Princess Kaiko Crown Princess of the Moon." He bowed deeply to her; after all, if he wanted to date her sister he had to make a good impression…
"Pu-chan?" Kaiko called to one of her oldest friends, "Have you finished the background check on this kid yet?"
"Yes Hime."
Other Moon Princess
"ANBU!" Minato called, knowing that it wasn't likely that they would respond to it, but how else were they supposed to find out how no one had noticed the passing of the Hokage?
Four ANBU appeared silently, they had been tasked with protecting the Yondaime for the past few days. "Yes Minato-sama?" they asked as one in a tightly controlled monotone.
Minato blinked, not having expected them to answer; and spoke as clearly as he could with his hand covering his nose and mouth, "Please have the Late Sandaime-sama's body moved to a location where it can be prepped for burial."
"Yes Sir!"
The Other Moon Princess
Kyuubi watched the blond from his hiding place, he really shouldn't be in this human, ninja village yet, but he had to make sure that his mate would be alright until he could safely reintegrate himself into the younger demon's life. It was surprising that most of his wife's friends were the descendants of Kaiko's. It might not be a coincidence, it was too… convenient.
He sighed, disappearing; he had much to do before he could truly meet his Kaiko-hime again. With a flash of silver foxfire, Kyuubi was gone.
The Other Moon Princess
Minato grabbed Kushina's wrist, "Come on."
"What's going on Minato?" the redheaded Kunoichi asked, her purple-grey eyes sparking with curiosity. "Why are we leaving?"
"My nose is much more sensitive than yours Kushina," Minato explained, "As such, I'm going to let the room air out, let the odor disperse from that office before I go inside. Which I will do at a later time."
Kushina nodded, picking up the pace slightly so that she and her crush were shoulder to shoulder, "If you say so Minato. What will we be doing in the meantime?" she asked curiously.
"I am going to train; you may come if you wish." Minato answered. "Don't you have your own training to do anyway?"
"I do… I'll help you train though, I need to work on my Kenjutsu and I need a partner anyway." Kushina pulled her wrist out of Minato's gentle grasp and pulled ahead of him, twirling so that she was walking backwards so that she could talk to him face to face, "What will you be working on?"
"The Hiraishin still takes too much Chakra for me to use effectively…" The young, unknowing Hokage replied, "As such, I try not to use it if I don't have to, I always use Shunshin instead. I haven't used the Hiraishin since I went to save Kakashi from those Iwa Nin two years ago now…"
"I'll help in any way I can Minato-kun! You know that!" Kushina told him, "We all will help you, you just have to ask."
"I know that," Minato replied, "I think the problem might be the formula, but with all the work the Sandaime had me doing, I just had no time to look into it. Meet me at Training Ground Seven in ten minutes; I need to get my notes, that way we'll have something to work with."
"Yes sir Minato-sama!" Kushina teased, leaning up and kissing Minato's cheek goodbye before leaving.
Minato blinked after her in confusion, wondering silently why his heart had sped up when her lips touched his cheek. A light blush dusted his cheeks, turning them a rosy pink. Then he shook his head, now wasn't the time to be thinking about pretty girls and other confusing things, he had to go pick up his notes on the Hiraishin. Maybe having another Seal Master like Kushina look over it will help him?
The Other Moon Princess
In the Time Stream, Setsuna was scowling. She was checking on the status of her Princesses, she'd found Serenity easily, but Kaiko was nowhere to be found. "Darn it! The sisters should have been born to the same family!" she hissed in irritation. Setsuna sighed in exasperation as she began looking for the elder princess in other timelines, it wouldn't do to lose the Crown Princes! Their mother would kill her.
Setsuna blinked when she saw a large congregation all dressed in black, standing on the roof of a building and took a closer look. She gasped when she saw Kaiko-hime standing at the front, speaking to the crowd. With trepidation, the Time Senshi stepped through the Time Gates and onto the building.
"…The Sandaime was a great man and an even greater leader. He left huge shoes to fill, and I hope I can adequately fill them. As the new Yondaime Hokage, I am giving all Shinobi and Kunoichi the next three days off to morn for the loss of our great leader." Minato took a steadying breath, "I will see you all in three days' time, dismissed."
Minato's shoulders sagged slightly as all the adult Ninja dispersed. He lowered himself to his knees slowly as his students (plus Obito) and Kushina approached. "I'll be ok," He whispered, not noticing Setsuna as she slowly stepped forward, "Really."
"We believe in you Minato," Kushina murmured in his ear as she put her arms around the tall blond. "Don't give up."
"Thanks Kushi-chan, I needed that…"
"We'll help too Tou-san!" Kakashi vowed.
"Thanks Kakashi… That means a lot to me…"
Rin hugged her teacher tightly, "You aren't alone Sensei."
Minato reached up and put his arms around her, "Thanks Rin…"
Setsuna cleared her throat softly, trying to get their attention without startling her Princess and her companions. She wasn't sure how to go about speaking with her… Prince? Yes, Kaiko had been reborn a man… That would make it even harder…
The five ninja's heads snapped up at the soft sound and Setsuna stiffened, finding a cold blade pressed against her neck. As she looked at the four in front of her, she realized that it was her princess that held the blade. Setsuna forced herself to stay calm. "Forgive me for startling you…"
"Who are you?" Minato asked coldly, his grip on his kunai tightening as he studied the strangely familiar woman. "And how did you get here without bringing my whole village down on your head?"
"Forgive me, Hime." Setsuna whispered. "I did not mean to startle you; or your company."
Minato's eyes widened, "…Pluto…?" he breathed uncertainly.
"Yes Hime?" Setsuna relaxed slightly ass the blade was removed and her Prince placed himself between her and his companions. She bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, please; allow me to introduce myself: I am Meioh Setsuna, also known at Sailor Pluto, Guardian of the Time Gates and one of the four protectors of Crown Princess Kaiko of the Moon."
"…Pu-chan…" Minato whispered with a tiny smile. "I am Namikaze Minato, Yondaime Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato. On the battlefield I am known as the Konoha no Kiiroi Senkou. This is my best friend: Uzumaki Kushina, my two students: Yagami Rin and Hatake Kakashi. The last boy is Kakashi's best friend, Uchiha Obito." One of his eyebrows shot up when Setsuna's eyes widened as they fell on his first student. [1] "There a problem?"
"Hime… how long have you known… Kakashi?" Setsuna asked.
"I've known him since he was born why?" Minato replied. "His father asked me to be present, though I will never know why now. And then I was always the one taking care of him when Sakumo-san was on missions and such."
"…" Setsuna was unsure of how to proceed; Kakashi was the name Kaiko-hime and Kyuubi-sama had decided to call their first child. This child's hair was a few shades lighter than what she remembered of Kyuubi's, and his eyes, though they looked grey, she could tell that they were a very dark blue, like… Minato's. "Nothing, no reason." Setsuna wasn't even sure if he remembered Kyuubi, much less the life and love she/he shared with the King of Demons…
(End)
This… took a long time to write… sorry for the long wait, originally, I didn't want to add any SM characters in anywhere but Minato's dreams but then I realized that that wouldn't work and the easiest character to add is Pluto because she spend most of her first… I forget how many… four? Yeah four seasons not really existing, she gets a cameo (or was it a small introduction?) towards the end of SuperS.
[1] I know that Minato is acting OOC, but you have to remember, he has the beginnings of a complete set of memories in his head that aren't his own, not only does he allow Kakashi to call him mother, now he is seemingly ignoring the fact that he is being called Princess. Kushina will eventually be calling him on it and that is when she and the others learn about his identity crisis and not before.
