Inner Evil: Hello! I hope that everyone did not get tired of waiting, good news my other story only has one chapter left so I'm back to this one. I am so amazed by the feedback that I have gotten from everyone for this story; I even got reviews on my other story for this story which was flattering. Now that I'm almost done with the other one I will try to update this one more often. I would like to welcome the new readers who have followed and favorite this story coolcatuui, , itachilover4life, skyjadeprincess, poseidon94, mojosparkle13, Firesinger Shadowdancer, airam23, MrsRP, Sakiq-Sakik, Uchimaki-sama, phantomlady13, Anna262, shikarimon, Yume Saint-Clair, DragonHeartKey, Stephymalfoy, Doris813, Evaa20, Santyjae, V1X3N93, and last but not least roskali689.

Guest: I'm glad you like it.

Silvermane1: Thank you! Also thank you very much for you continuing loyalty and reviews.

yukino76: I really liked the pairing just because I am a huge fan of the ugly duckling getting the swan, plus I think Lee you do Rosalie's inflated ego some good. With Edward my idea is that the romance with Bella was too soon and there was no claim of her being his mate always his 'singer'. I think there are holes in their relationship that I wanted to explore since Edward has never felt any desire for anyone how would he know he's in love with Bella? Edward will definitely do something stupid but like I said he is not the bad guy just confused and annoying.

PercyJacksonROCKS4ever: I am sorry for the long wait; I like to write the stories as I go so it all depends on what inspiration and ideas I get. I am glad you liked the chapter it was by far one of my longest I hope it was worth it. I was deciding between dragging out the courting but I'm not a patient person and like I said my Naruto is not stupid, so maybe in the next 2 or 3 chapters he will find out…as soon as I figure out how.

Guest: I think that's what the Cullens and everyone is wondering. Nathaniel was a Cullen that is all I will say, read the chapter to know more.

spencerharris401: That was really specific, have you read or wrote a story like that? Cause it sounds interesting I would read it. Good guess but no…I will say he was definitely a Cullen. I hope my idea was not as predictable.

Guest: It would be awesome but predictable plus I really like Kushina and Minato's love story and I like the fourth's character kind of. I think he was an okaish father and Kushina a great mother so I don't want to take that away. I hope that my idea does not disappoint.

Guest: Sorry for the wait, thank you for holding on.

Guest: Sorry didn't meant for it to last this long, I hate cliffhangers when I read so I try to avoid them unless necessary; hopefully it would be worth the wait.

Guest: I didn't actually mean for it to be that way usually when I tried to write suspense it doesn't work. I am soooo happy you love it, you are very welcome and thank you for reading it and taking your time to comment.

Guest: Here it is.

"hello" talking

'yay' thinking

'I'm back bitchessss!'

The Place Where We Belong


Life is made up of coincidence, events that are not planned but seem to connect the world and everyone in it. We are connect by coincidental events that open our eyes and our mind they lead us where we need to go, where we want to go and where we should go. Meeting the love of your life in a dance class because he loves to dance, reuniting with a long lost friend after bumping into each other on a separate trip, or meeting a family member you never knew you had in another country.

Life can be plan, you can prepare and plan for all that you want to have and to a certain extent you can plan for the unexpected. All it takes is having a plan B to counter your plan A the problem is the coincidence that most of the time are so farfetched that no one ever images that it can happened to them.

Like finding a long lost family member in a country you have never visited in a universe you have never been too after been told and confirming that you had no family left. Who could ever think of a scenario so crazy that not been a person with the best imagination could think it up. A person who plans for the impossible and farfetched is crazy. This was what was going through Naruto's mind 'I could really use Kurama's help and opinion right about now.' he stood there in front of the Cullen patriarch who was starting at him like he was Kami itself glowing right in front of him.

The only difference was that Naruto was pretty sure that this was a misunderstanding. Carlisle was struck shock by what he was seeing, a face that he never though he would ever see. A face that was long lost to him yet here it was there was no denying the eyes, the hair, even the look was all still the same. 'Nathaniel' The world dissolved leaving only him and the blond he was completely ignorant to the looks from his family. "Ummm…no, this Naruto." A confused Emmett responded but was ignore it was almost as if his father was in another place all together.

Both Harry and Emmett looked between the dazed Carlisle and the curious Naruto as the two stared at each other 'what is going on? Please don't tell me that Carlisle is Naruto's mate.' As soon as the though enter his head Harry's eyes widen and he looked at Emmett hoping that he had an answer but Emmett was too busy alternating his stare between his father and Naruto.

"Carlisle is everything okay." Esme tried to gain her mate's attention when she saw Harry start to panic and Emmett start to anger but not even her voice was enough to pull Carlisle from his Naruto induced trance. "Edward what's going on?" Rosalie asked the resident mind reader as she was the only one that was not affected by whatever was going on. "I'm trying but his thoughts are too chaotic. I'm getting 'Nathaniel' 'dead' 'baby' 'impossible'…" Edward stopped as his eyes widen at the next word in Carlisle's mind "what? What is it?" a desperate Esme asked "family" at this word everyone in the room looked at the pair in shock. They knew it was impossible for Carlisle to have family even if he had they would be long dead by now. "I already have roots" they were all cut off by Naruto's whisper words that all the vampires heard but the humans didn't "what are you talking about?" Emmett asked anxious to know what's going on.

'Please don't tell me Carlisle is in love with Naruto too because damn it! How many people are going to fall in love with my mate? If this keeps happening I'm going to have to start beating them away.' Emmett looked at Edward who read his thoughts 'you're the first on my list, don't think I didn't notice.' Emmett said in his mind as he glared at his brother who has had his eyes on Naruto since he saw him. Edward's face gave nothing away but he gave a small nod to acknowledge that he understood, he was confident that if Naruto was his mate there would be nothing Emmett could do.

"Something Luna told me when we first moved in. This is what you meant right?" He turned to a smiling Luna to ask. At Naruto's statement Harry and the rest of the blonde's family got a thoughtful look on their face trying to remember this. "Oh, I remember this it was when we were moving here, right?" Neville exclaim looking at both Luna and Naruto. At this point the rest of the family seemed to remember and Harry was able to calm down 'so Naruto is not his mate.' Now all the people in the room –except Carlisle who was still in a trance- were looking at Luna for an explanation of what was going on. "Yes, this was what I meant. Before we decided to move I got a premonition that Carlisle's and your past were connected." Luna explained to the room "but how?" Alice was the one who asked extremely annoyed "not use to being out of the loop, not so nice is it?" Rosalie smirked at a pouting Alice who was comforted by her mate who was having a hard time processing his father's emotions.

While everyone's attention was on the two seers in the room Carlisle had moved from across the room to being in front of Naruto in the blink of an eye. The move was so fast that it took the blond by surprise and it was only thank to his ninja training that he did not jump. He was on his guard until he saw the look in Carlisle's eyes it was tender and caring as one would look at their son or a mother seeing her son back alive from a long war.

'I've never been looked at that way before. It feels nice.'

Slowly Carlisle raised his hand to Naruto's face hesitating before caressing the blonde's scar cheeks 'that's strange Nathaniel didn't have does scars when he was young and these feel like birthmarks' Naruto couldn't help but stare into Carlisle's eyes. The two were so lost in each other that they had not realized that the room had gone completely silence. Harry and Emmett were not happy with not knowing but even they could tell that Carlisle's look was paternal.

"Carlisle, honey what's going on?"

His mate's worry tone broke through the daze and for the first time since he gazed into cerulean eyes he remembered all the other people in the room. He realized that he had worried and confused his family as well as his guest but he couldn't explain this he thought that his brother was lost to him and the blond looked identical to his Nathaniel. Looking back at Nathaniel 'Naruto' he studied him and never taking his eyes off him he answered "I don't know…" Esme looked even more worry at her husband absentminded answer "Who's Nathaniel" the question came from Emmett who had moved over to Naruto and stood protectively next to him.

"He was a…Cullen!?

The answer did not come from Carlisle but from Edward who had read his sire's mind and saw his memories. "He was an original Cullen, but that's impossible. Why didn't I know?" Edward's tone was entitled as if it was okay to lie to everyone but him, he emphasized the 'I' is the sentence as if the betrayal was done to hurt him specifically. "Oh get over yourself Edward, if anyone has a right to be hurt is Esme." Rosalie answered angry that yet again Edward's 'only child syndrome' was taking control, he always seems to make everything about him. "You wouldn't understand, Carlisle and I have a special bond…or we did"

Lee placed his hand on Rosalie's arms to calm her down as she was moving towards Edward. "Enough Edward! Stop acting like a spoiled only child because news flash you're not anymore, in fact you're not even the most important person in Carlisle life…his mate is." Surprisingly the responds did not come from Rosalie but Alice. For just a moment everything was forgotten and everyone turned their shock eyes at the small vampire who was rolling her eyes "What? Everyone was thinking it plus we have more important things to worry about." Alice pointed out obviously annoyed at being out of the loop; this was a first for her. Edward was speechless the tense atmosphere was broken by Naruto laughing and jumping over the couch reaching Alice faster than any normal human should be able to. He wrapped his arms around her waist picked her up and kissed her cheek "that was awesome!"

Esme couldn't help but smile at the blonde's happy energy but now that he was no longer in front of Carlisle she was able to get his attention. She touched his arm "Dear?" for the first time since the blond arrived in the room Carlisle looked at his mate 'I most have really scared her' it was Luna who had made up his mind "we can help you figure it out…At least Naruto has a right to know." Carlisle looked around and he could see everyone staring at him but the look that really set it in was Naruto's.

"Nathaniel is…was…"

Carlisle took a deep breath as memories of a time before, a time that he was trying to forget because of the pain that they brought. It was a simple time when the only thing that kept him going was the last gift his mother gave him. Edward and Jasper both gasp at the impact of all the memories and emotions pouring out of Carlisle. "…he was my little brother."

For a while there was a dead silence no one spoke and the humans hardly breathe. No one moved the only respond that was given was the shock looks that were directed to Naruto. Like before Naruto was the first one to react "Well that can't be me. For one there a huge age gap and there also a dimension gap. I'm not even from this dimension so that is impossible, the similarity is looks is probably a coincidence." On the outside Naruto seem nonchalant but Hinata and Lee could see through that they knew how much Naruto had always wanted a family to love him and be there for him. They knew how much it hurt the blond to have had it dangle what he has wanted most in the world before having it rip away.

"I think it's time go home." Naruto looked at the rest of his family "it was a pleasure meeting you Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, thank you for letting us into your home." Then he gave a quick look to Emmett and Carlisle before heading out.

Soon as the blond left the rest of his family follow him out unknowingly showing the Cullens who was the head of their clan. They all said their goodbyes and thankyous before leaving, Luna looked at Alice and silently communicated before leaving, the final one to leave was Harry. He studied Carlisle before he lean up and kissed Emmett "We'll talk later." Emmett buried his face in Harry's hair smelling his mate's scent to calm him down. When they pulled away Harry looked at Esme "thank you for welcoming us into your home…" looking at Carlisle again before turning back "…I'll see what I can do." With that and the sound of the car they were gone leaving a confused vampire clan, there were so many emotions Jasper was sure he was going to pass out. 'I hope this works out for Carlisle's sake.'


Wizards & Ninjas (I really need to come up with a name for the family)

Naruto was the first to arrive and he headed directly to the basement to release some tension. The night started of great but the ending brought back some unwanted memories and feelings of a life he left behind. 'I'm still weak, begging and hoping for something that I was never meant to have.' Meeting Carlisle and been confused for his family brought back the self-loathing he felt as a child and the betrayal from learning his own father is to blame for the horrible treatment the villagers gave him.

'He is definitely not my family because anybody related to me by blood seems to always ruin my life for the greater good, I have never been number one in anyone's life' At this thought Naruto thinks of Hinata and how for a time they both thought he was but she got over her infatuation. Then he thinks about Harry and how for a while he felt like he might be but then Harry met his mate and moved on. He accepted a long time ago that he was never meant to be the center of someone's world or at least he thought he had.

By the time the rest of the family arrived Naruto was already in the dojo. Lee and Hinata looked worry they knew what was wrong with the blond and how much he was hurting. When their eyes met they knew that they were thinking the same thing 'I thought that wound had healed…' While they shared their life with the wizards there a lot of things that Naruto glossed over because he did not want to be pitied by any of them specially Harry.

Harry hated to see his happy mate so down it's rare that Naruto isn't full of energy and happy, he wanted to go and hold him until he smiles 'I'm so useless I can't even help my own mate feel better' he felt incompetent. "We should let him clear his head" Hinata was the one who broke the silence "do you think it's a good idea to leave him alone?" Neville asked knowing that it's never a good idea to leave anyone alone when they are lost reliving bad memories. "No it's not, I'll talk to him." Luna did not wait for a reply and head downstairs to talk to the blond. The rest of the family knew that if anyone knew what the right course of action will be than it was Luna so they left her to deal with their blond.

"Come Harry, we'll wait in the kitchen and I'll make you some tea."

Hinata offered knowing perfectly how much this must be affecting Harry so she tried to distract the raven hair boy who had been staring at the basement door since Luna went through it. She led him towards the big kitchen and sat him down on a barstool soon Lee and Neville join them as well. "Don't worry Harry; Luna knows what she's doing." Neville assured his friend not because Harry doubted their resident seer but more because Harry doubted himself.


Basement Dojo

Luna walked down the stairs hearing the labor breathing and the sounds of flesh hitting wood; she could almost picture Naruto's bloody knuckles. Even though she was very confident with the rest of her family the truth is that she wasn't sure what to do. She did get a premonition that Naruto had roots in this place but she figure it was Emmett now she's confuse. 'Could that root be Carlisle? And if so then how is it possible? They are both not only from separate time but completely different dimensions.' Luna for the first time was confused and a little lost she had no idea how to solve this or how to reassure her family. "What do you need Luna?" That was something that Luna had never been able to explain, her extended family seemed to always be able to know if someone was there and who it was. It was probably the ninja training even if Naruto, Hinata and Lee never admit it she was sure that was it.

"I was hoping that we could talk."

Naruto stopped beating a wooden training dummy and turned to face Luna, his face was a mask of indifference. "Okay, what's up?" Naruto asked giving her his undivided attention, even though he knew what she wanted to talk about he pride himself on always listening to people because he knows how awful it feels to be ignored. Luna knew that with Naruto it was always better to get straight to the point, the blond hated to beat around the bush.

"I know that you don't want to talk about what happened tonight because you're sure that it is not possible. To tell you the truth I'm not sure about it either. I don't know if it's true or just a really hurtful coincidence but what I do know is that I got a premonition that told me that you had roots here…" Naruto opened his mouth as if to reply but Luna cut him off "…I don't know if that's Carlisle or someone else but what I do know is that we will help you figure this out and will stand with you all the way because no matter the outcome you're part of our family and you'll always be." A dead silent took over the room Luna felt nervous in a way that only Naruto makes her feel 'those eyes are dangerous; they can look right into your soul'

Finally Naruto opened his arms, his face still serious confusing Luna until his face broke into his signature smile. Luna couldn't control the smile that took over her face as she rushed into the arms of the blond boy who wrapped his strong arms around her. She knew that things were not solved but they will be in time because they had each other, all they had to do was make sure that Naruto knew that no matter what he had them. They were interrupted by Harry coming down "is everything okay?" he asked as he saw both blondes hugging. Naruto pulled apart slightly to answer "Yea, Luna and I were just talking about family." Harry couldn't help be feel slightly jealous of his sister and the fact that she was the one to comfort his mate.

Luna went upstairs but not before padding Harry's shoulder to wish him good luck as well as transfer strength. "Good night guys" Luna said before heading out the door to join her brothers and sister in getting ready for bed.

Naruto turned around and started to clean up the dummy and himself, Harry doesn't know what to say after what Hinata and Lee has told them he understood why Naruto was so affected. 'What do you tell someone that's feeling beat down and played with by life. I know what that feels like and I also know that nothing anybody says makes it better. What does is…' Harry walked down the stairs

"you do know that I'm here for you, I'm always going to be here for you."

"We're always going to be here for you."

At the sound of the deep voice behind them both Naruto and Harry turned around to see Emmett on the top of the stairs. Harry smiled at his mate while Naruto studied the vampire as if he had just added the last piece to a puzzle.

Emmett came down to join Harry at the base of the stairs "how about a spar? Unless you're scare, in that case I understand you're only human." Harry looked worry unsure of what his mate was thinking about "Emmett I don't th…" "Please, this human has faced scarier opponents…you? You don't even make the radar" Naruto answered with a smirk "then let's go." Both of them got on the mat looking at each other and distracting Harry by both taking off their shirts. 'umm…' His head went blank and he could almost feel the drool running down his chin. 'This is so unfair why are they both so sexy? So many muscles.'

Naruto made the first move and Emmett easily blocked it from there it was an all-out brawl that was more like rough housing. And Harry realized what Emmett was doing as he was the smile and pure joy in the blonde's face. He was trying to distract the Naruto bringing him out of his own thoughts; focusing all his energy into something he loved doing. The fight went on for what felt like hours so Harry went into the small fridge and got a water bottle for his human mate.

When he turned around Emmett was straddling Naruto's hips and had his hand pinned above his head, Harry couldn't help but be slightly jealous of the vampire's position but mostly turned on at watching his mates this close 'once we get together they are going to make quite a sight.' He decided to intervene because both Emmett and Naruto were staring at each other intensively; he could almost taste the sexual tension Emmett was close to losing control and ravishing the blond.

"Okay guys take a break, here Naruto"

Harry walked over to the two and while Emmett released Naruto's arms he did not get up. Naruto did not push the vampire off which was a great sign; he just laid there and breathed. Harry gave Emmett a look as they had a conversation with their eyes. In the end Harry won as Emmett reluctantly got up and sat down next to the blond. Naruto sat up and took the water from Harry while Emmett just pouted at being made to get up. Harry sat down on the mat with his two mates and enjoyed the silence, looking at Naruto Harry saw that the blond had no injures which meant that Emmett held back so not to hurt his mate. "Come on you two, you both need a bath." Harry pushed both his mates who were getting too comfortable.

They headed upstairs walking by the dark and empty living 'looks like everyone is asleep' as soon as he entered the room Naruto went straight into the bathroom. He wanted to give the two mates privacy but he also needed some alone time to think about everything that happened "Hey vamp, let have a rematch sometime." Naruto said to the vampire with a smile "anytime, anyplace." Emmett grinned at his mate statement "just don't hold back next time."

Before Emmett could reply the blond enter the bathroom and closed the door. 'How did I get so lucky?' "Ah great like one meathead wasn't bad enough." Harry jokingly complained with a smile on his face, Emmett wrapped his arms around his wizard and kissed his cheek "you love us anyway, not like you would have us any other way." Harry turned around in his mate's arms "God help me I do" Emmett crashed his lips with Harry's in a kiss that soon turned little wild and dirty with all the adrenaline that Emmett had from his fight with Naruto. The two were so distracted that they did not hear the bathroom door shut

'Love US? Have US? Hmm…'


The Next Day

The next day Naruto woke up with his head on a hard moving pillow and it wasn't until he felt a hand caress his hair that he realized that it wasn't a pillow. By the cold temperature of the limp he would guess that it was Emmett turning to the side and seeing Harry snuggle up to the vampire's other side confirmed it. He looked up and saw gold happy eyes staring back at him "good morning sunshine" Naruto was surprised by how comfortable he felt "good morning moonlight" If Emmett was surprise by the nickname he didn't show it in fact his smile grew and his eyes shined, he loved the nickname, he knew that the blond did it mainly to be sassy but he couldn't help it so much so that he leaned down and placed a gentle, loving kiss on the blonde's forehead.

Harry who had open his eyes just in time to witness the sweet scene couldn't help but smile "hey, how about me?" he gave a playful pout which soon change into surprise when the one mate he less expected lean forward and placed a kiss on his forehead "good morning Merlin" Harry couldn't help the blush that took over his face from the nickname, mainly because he knew that it had double meaning he remember that Naruto said that his hair reminded him of the feathers on some Merlin birds. It was the first time that anyone had not immediately associated him with some magical being. He was brought out of his thoughts by a cold kiss placed on his forehead "Yea, good morning darling." Emmett sweet southern Tennessee accent distracted Harry. "Well that's my cue." Naruto said before getting up and heading to the bathroom "try not to be too loud."


While Harry and Naruto had breakfast Emmett decided to go and checked in with his family. When he came back he wasn't alone his father had taken the day off and asked if he could join him. After the family talked about how unlikely it was that Naruto was his little brother Carlisle still wanted to get to know the blond. "I feel a connection to him. It feels like we're family." Emmett felt that this was a good idea it would benefit not only Carlisle but also his mate.

That is the reason why Carlisle was next to him as he was heading back to see both of his mates. He was not sure how Naruto would react, he just hope that he would forgive him and not think that Emmett was going behind his back. As the house got closer Emmett's nerves were getting worse he and Naruto's relationship wasn't stable enough to deal with it. "Emmett if you would prefer I will wait here until you ask him if it's okay." In that moment Emmett could not have been more grateful for his father's understanding and nurturing nature. "Thanks Carlisle, I'll come get you." Emmett smiled went ahead the rest of the way.

He walked in through the open balcony door and was greeted with a body colliding into him; from the lighting undertone scent he could tell that it was Harry so he leaned down and kissed his mate on his head. Once he got a good doze of his mate's delicious scent he used his nose to look for his other mate. Base of scent he could tell that the blond was in the room so he looked up and he found him sitting on the coach watching TV.

He opened his arms to the blond "what no welcome back hug?" "I think that's what Harry was doing, whether he's a bad hugger it's a little mean to say it in front of him don't you think?" The blond smirked when he got the double reaction of leaving Emmett slightly speechless and Harry blushing. "Smartass" "It's also very fit and firm." Again Naruto couldn't help but smirk but this time Emmett was ready "I'll be the judge of that." Emmett added with a leer as he checked the blond out from top to bottom "Unfortunately for you Harry's not the sharing type."

Harry realized that the conversation was getting to close to the truth and he knew that if it was up to Emmett he would tell the blond but he wasn't ready so he intervened. "Okay guys enough with the wit war." He gave Emmett a meaningful look that was not missed by Naruto who had been paying close attention to the two. The sober look reminded him of the unexpected guest that was waiting for him outside. "Hey Naruto, I was wondering if I could talk to you?" At this Harry's eyes widen with fear and Naruto's sat up straight in interest "sure what is it?" Naruto was hoping that Emmett was saving him some time and was going to tell him what had been going on but he was wrong

"Well I was wondering if…maybe you would like to…I mean I know is a lot to ask…"

"I'll never know if you don't finish asking it"

"Right so my father wants to get to know you…and we explained to him that the possibility of you two being related if very unlikely but you do look like his brother…"

"That does not mean that I'm like him."

"I know and I think he knows as well but I guess…I think he should be the one to explain if you are okay with it."

There was a silence over the room as Emmett waited for Naruto's responds he was sure that his father –who could hear the conversation– was also anxious for the reply. Harry who had been scare a few minutes ago was nervous about Naruto getting upset. Naruto was thinking about the pros and cons of the situation 'can I really afford to get close and take the chase of it taking a bad turn?' but he couldn't help but be curious. He looked at Emmett and realized that his father was nearby waiting for the okay which meant that he was close enough to hear them.

"As long as you know that I am not and will never be your little brother, I wouldn't mind having another friend."

Harry looked confused at Naruto's reply and the use of 'your' instead of 'his' but Emmett looked proud at his mate for figuring it out. He knew that Naruto had put two and two together figuring out that Carlisle was close by waiting for a reply "What are you…?" Harry was cut off by movement behind him and an alert in the wards around the house. He turned around to see a guilty looking Carlisle on their porch looking shyly at Harry waiting to be welcome into the house. Emmett grabbed Harry by the arm and led him out of the room to give Carlisle and Naruto some privacy. Harry was doubtful about leaving but he knew that Naruto needed this and if anything Emmett will hear if something goes wrong.


CarlislexNaruto

Once they were alone Carlisle decided that it was best to start with his backstory and Nathaniel's origin because after being confuse for him Naruto deserved it. Instead of Carlisle coming in Naruto had followed him outside to the porch and sat down 'I know Emmett can still hear us but at least it gives us more privacy.' Carlisle closed the French doors and sat down in front of the blond taking a deep breath before starting the story

"Like you heard last night Nathaniel was my little brother, he was a surprise as my mother had been deemed too old to have any more children. When I heard the news I was so excited because being an only child I had prayed for a playmate…"

Carlisle couldn't help but smile at the vague memory of a younger him running around preparing for his brother's arrival. I could vaguely remember his mother's smile when he refused to accept that it might be a girl. He had prayed for a boy so it was a boy and no amount of explaining will change his mind. His smile did not last long when he remembered what happened next

"Unfortunately the doctors were right and my mother was too old and her body was not able to take it. She died hours after giving birth, after meeting and naming her baby…For a long time I blamed myself because I was the one that wanted a brother so badly that I was willing to put my mother's health at risk."

Naruto placed his hand on top of Carlisle's to give him some support, he wanted to tell the vampire that it was not his fault and he was just a child but he decided to let him finish the story because he knew how hard it was to open up about something painful. The warm hand helped ground Carlisle to the present instead of being in the past and reliving those painful memories.

"The more I missed my mother and things went wrong the more I began to resent my brother, I wanted nothing to do with him. I avoided him as much as possible and tried to pretend like he didn't exist until his nanny got sick and at that time my father was spending less time at home but he had to stay. That day I heard my father yelling at my seven month old brother and something clicked maybe protective instinct but I took Nathaniel to my room and told my father I will take care of him.

He remembered that day clearly it is the one day that he never allowed himself to forget about his old life because it was such an important moment that helped make him who he is now. That was the day that his nurturing instincts were born. He would like to think that if his brother ever remembered anything about him it was that moment.


*Brief Flashback*

"Shut up! Shut up!"

A twelve year old Carlisle heard his father's angry voice follow by excessive crying from a baby. He knew what came next when his father got angry and he felt guilty 'why should I? He took my mom.' An image of his mother came to mind "Carlisleyou have to remember being a big brother means that you have to always protect your little brother, it's abigresponsibilitybutIknowthatmybigmancandoit." The smile he got was so sweet and loving. His mother loved his little brother and she was counting on him to watch over him. 'I promised'

He took a deep breath and walked to the room "father I can take care of him." He held his breath but it looked like he didn't have to convince his father as he was out the door before Carlisle could look up. Now he was alone with his crying little brother not knowing what to do. He walked up to the crib and saw a tearful red face. "Shhhh it's okay Nathaniel, don't cry." Carlisle tried rubbing the baby's tummy but it didn't work finally in a desperate attempt he picked him up and cradled him in his chest. The cries turned to whimpers but did not stop that's when Carlisle remember his mom song the belly a lullaby so he tried that. When the crying stop he looked down to see his mother's beautiful cerulean blue eyes staring back at him. "I promise I will be there to protect you."

*End Flashback*


The memory was the best and only thing he had left of his little brother, a hand squeezed his hand bringing him back to the present where he had the same cerulean blue eyes staring at him. It was such a bittersweet sight that he had to turn away.

"After that he became my everything and I became his, I was the only one who could calm him down and he was the only one I felt that really loved me. When things got bad and father had to let go of Nathaniel's nanny I became his care taker I was fourteen and Nathaniel was almost two. I spend all my time with him and I loved every minute of it, those were the happiest times of my life…"

He smiled at the memories that assaulted him, they were vague and in foggy flashes but they were happy memories of laughter and joy. He knew that the only good thing about his human life after losing his mother was his little brother. "He was your son." The words from the blond brought Carlisle attention to him; those cerulean blues were filled with understanding. It made Carlisle think and he remembered that he had planned to take his brother with him if he ever married.

"Yes, he was."

"What happened?"

"…When I turned sixteen father became insistent on me finding a bride, I had been evading the issue but I couldn't anymore and since Nathaniel was four I felt comfortable enough to start trying. I really wanted to get us out of that house, my father was getting worse with his hunts and he was prone to going on violent rage when they weren't successful. It was my fault I was so desperate that one night there was a huge gala all the young ladies were going to be there but I had no one to watch Nathaniel…There was a woman who had moved in next to us and she offered to stay, she was always so kind and she always helped us when we were getting away from my father but there was something about her I just didn't trust. This night I was so desperate and scare of our situation that I ignored my gut and left Nathaniel with her…"

He took an unneeded deep breath as he thought of his stupidity and carelessness; it was his fault that Nathaniel was lost forever. Every time he thinks of that night he hates himself a little more and he hates the world a little more. His brother was such a pure soul he didn't deserve whatever fate he and his father cursed him to have. If only he was patient and waited to the next gala when someone he actually trusted was free, anything would have been better than what happened.

"…They were gone with no trace left behind; I conducted a search, asked everywhere and even got people to help me. Lucky that my father had become quite famous so people knew me and my brother when my father found out he was furious, it was the first time that he ever pretended to care about Nathaniel. Later we found out that my father had killed the woman's daughter in one of his witch hunt so as revenge she took his son 'an eye for an eye.' We never found any sign from them not even the…b…body. When I was turned a few years later I tried to look for their scent but all I was able to find was that she had left the country, I lost the trail close to what is now China where I found out she sold him."

There was a deadly silence almost as if the whole world had stop and gave him a chance to recuperate from reliving the most painful moment in his life, finding out his brother was sold like an object. It made him angry to think about, his sweet innocent brother being cursed to a life of pain and misery. Naruto did not know what to say, he wished that he was Carlisle's brother but the fact that the Kyuubi was inside him proofs that he was not. He has Uzumaki blood in him there is no denying that.

'I wish I could offer him that hope. Hey kit, what I miss? Hey you dumb fox, where have you been? I've been replenishing my energy after bringing you here. What! You were awake before we left Hogwarts. Yea and being your life coach took a lot out of me, that is a full time job with how thick headed you are. HEY!'

Naruto had a pout on his face but he could not help but be happy, he missed the stupid fox 'I knew it!' on second thought he wasn't so sure about that. Looking ahead he remember Carlisle who was giving him sad smile so Naruto decided to share his story with the vampire who had willingly share the most painful time of his long life.

So he told him about the ninja academy, Sasuke, Sakura, the war, the adventures in between, but something that he had not share with others he told him about his childhood and what he was really feeling behind the fake smiles and pranks. The smash and crack from inside follow by Harry's yell of surprise reminded him that there was another vampire in the house therefore Carlisle was not the only one in on their conversation. He was not mad, he trusted Emmett enough the other vampire had been nothing but accepting, patient and understanding plus he's Harry's mate.

He looked at the vampire in front of him after hearing Harry calm Emmett down and he saw black angry eyes as well as clench hands. 'I guess Emmett was not the only one affected' Carlisle was using every ounce of his famous self-control to not react as violently as his son did. All he could think about was a scared little boy looking for help and love but only getting hate and pain.

'Well kit, you've been busy and completely oblivious. What are you talking about? I'm working on it'

He answered knowing that Kurama was talking about the Harry and Emmett situation. Looking at Carlisle who was trying to calm down Naruto got an idea 'hey Kurama is there any way of finding someone? Are you talking about the vamp's long lost brother? Impossible there too many things missing for me to even try. I thought so and I know that I'm not him. You're definitely not…' Naruto couldn't help but feel disappointed he really wanted to help the blond vampire, he was a kind and caring soul who has lose a lot in life.

'…But that doesn't mean you're not related…Wait what do you mean? It's impossible not only because of the time difference but also the dimension difference. Kit I brought you here didn't I? It's proof that travel between dimensions is possible in fact the Namikages were masters at creating portals of course it was never use to travel worlds but not impossible…You saying that there is…a possibility that the vamp is related to you? Yes.'

Naruto was speechless he didn't know what to say, he had never thought that it was a possibility but turns out that he might just have family after all. 'I said it was POSSIBLE that does not mean it's a sure thing, don't start planning your life together, well then find out. What am I your errand boy, I don't do DNA test. That's not my problem is yours I don't have that magic.' Naruto knew that he demanded a lot from the fox but he never meant for it to come across as ungrateful 'Kurama you know that you are and will always be the most important person in my life because you were there when no one else was. At first you were forced but even when you didn't have to you stayed with me…Oh I know, your just lucky I was bored and you were entertaining, as long as you keep entertaining me I'm not going anywhere.' In his mindscape he could feel Kurama's and his chakra dancing around each other almost as if they were hugging.

'Wait…Magic!'


"HARRY!"

Naruto realized that he had gotten carry away with the moment when he suddenly felt a rush of wind and Emmett was standing next to him with a worry Harry in his arms. A few minutes later an excited Luna came out as well and not a minute later a bouncing and excited Alice dropped on their deck. Carlisle who had been worry about the blonde's sudden exclamation was surprise at the arrival of his daughter. Harry and Emmett were too worried about their mate to analyze what the arrival of the two seers could mean. 'Damn kit you sure know how to attract attention and the hot kind too.'

"What is it? What's wrong? Are you…?"

Harry's worried questions drew Naruto's attention back to the outside world, looking at the wizard Naruto could see just how worry he was 'he must have gotten scare when I called his name so urgently. I should reassure him before he begins to panic.' Naruto grabbed both of Harry's shoulders before looking directly in his eyes and smiling

"Nothing is wrong, I'm perfectly fine…I'm sorry for worrying you"

Harry released a breath that he didn't realize he was holding in fact both Carlisle and Emmett released a breath that they didn't need. Carlisle had been so worried that he had hurt or offended the blond 'I'm glad that it wasn't anything serious' but now he was all the more curious about why his daughter was there. The main scenario was that she got a vision but it was too much of a coincidence that she arrived right when the blond yelled.

The curiosity got the better of him "Alice what are you doing here? Is everything okay?" at Carlisle's questions everyone's attention was drawn to the short vampire grinning and practically bouncing with an excitement that could only be matched by Luna. "This is great!" Luna was the one who broke the silence and the only ones that understood her were Alice and Naruto. "So you saw it?" Naruto asked wondering if both seers had seen what he had just thought about. "Not the results." Luna responded and Alice nodded in agreement to confirm that they had both shared the same vision.

"Can someone tell me what's going on?"

Harry was the one that asked the question confused and anxious about what was going on and not being in the loop. Naruto turned to raven haired wizard "I wanted to ask you if there was a spell that can show you someone's family tree but Luna and Alice confirmed that there is." He added smiling at the two girls. Harry was confused by the question 'why would he want…?' but his eyes turned to Carlisle and he understood what the blond meant this worried him because this meant that Naruto was getting his hopes up and Harry knew how dangerous this was to him. "Naruto we spoke about this it's very unlikely that you two…" Harry began trying to make the blond understand without hurting him, at his statement Emmett and Carlisle understood what was going on and while one got hopeful the other like Harry was worry.

Harry walked up to the blond and held his face in his hands focusing the blonde's attention "I know how much you both want it to be true but it's just not possible, you come from different dimensions…" Harry hated being the one to kill his mate's hope but he knew that it was necessary. At Harry's statement the mood changed drastically from hopeful and excited to sad and disappointed. The real surprise was that Naruto was the only whose mood was not affect by the statement this made everyone curious "I know how unlikely it could be but thanks to something that I recently found out it's not impossible." This got everyone's attention, all curious about what the blond found out.

"What did you find out?"

Emmett was the one who asked the question that was running through everyone's mind 'kit, are you ready to tell them about me? Not really, I know it sounds horrible but I don't trust them yet at least not with something so important, not that I'm a shame of you but when people find out about you they tend to…go a little psycho.' Naruto couldn't help but remember all the moments when the knowledge of Kurama made people betray him and hurt him for something that he could not control 'forget them kit, by the looks of the big vamp they all did you a favor.'

"I had recently found out that the Namikazes –which was my father's family– were masters at portal jutsu and those portals could be use to travel to a different dimension."

The revelation was followed by a shock silence, everyone present even Alice and Luna were shocked. It changed everything and none knew that more than Carlisle. 'Could this be? Am I going to get a 2nd chance?' Carlisle couldn't help but hope that it might just be true, that life was giving him back what he lost. "Do you mean that…?" Carlisle couldn't even finish the sentence unable to get his hopes up too high so that the fall those not kill him. "…That us being related is not so unlikely…yeah" Naruto answered the vampire "that's why I need you to look into my family tree to confirm or deny." Naruto said turning to Harry who was still in shock by the revelation. "Harry? Can you do it?" unable to speak Harry nodded.


That Night

It took a while for everyone to be snapped out of their daze to ask the blond a million questions that he was unable to answer. Finally after much talk and arguing they decide to not waste time and perform the spell that night but it was agreed that both their families will be there, Carlisle wanted the family he created to be there to meet the family that he was created with. Naruto agreed in having their families there for support in case things didn't turn out the way they expected. Harry, Luna and Neville immediately looked into performing the spell to a muggle since they have never heard it done.

(AN: I have no idea if there is a spell or a way in HP universe to find out someone's family tree so please bear with me. I looked but didn't find anything so I improvised don't kill me.)

That is how both families found themselves standing in the wizard's living anxiously waiting. Esme was holding tightly to her mate trying to give him some support and strength like Harry she was worry about how excited her mate was. Emmett of course was sitting next to Naruto trying to keep the blond busy while at the same time sending Edward glares every time the vamp tried to talk to the blond. Bella was burning with anger and envy 'it wasn't enough to steal everyone's attention away from me but now he might even be related to the Cullens…ARGH…It's not fair.' Jasper could not take all the mix emotions so he decided to wait in the balcony until it was time. Alice, Rosalie and Lee joined him to avoid the tension and drama in the room. Hinata had decided to stay with Naruto to help keep him distracted and provide support.

Soon it was time the wizards came downstairs and everyone stood at attention "did you figure it out?" Naruto asked standing up and trying to not seem as anxious as he really was. The truth was that even if Carlisle was not his family he was still going to see where he came from, where his parents came from, who he was. 'Kit you don't need to see your family tree to know who you are. They were never there for you so they shouldn't affect who you are and who you become. You're right Kurama I needed them before but I don't anymore.' The people outside came in and join the rest of their family when Harry responded

"Yea we think that we have it and it should work."

The statement reminded everyone of the other unsuccessful tries that they've had. They had tried everything until Neville got the idea to try to use Harry's veela magic and chakra to perform the spell. So Naruto gave a little bit of his chakra to create a potion that was pour in a long piece of wax paper to be activated with blood and certain words. Harry stepped forward with the paper placing the slightly glowing paper on the table in front of the blond.

The wizard looked around to make sure his family was ready before turning to Naruto who smiled and nodded in permission. He took a deep breath and gesture to the blond who bit his finger letting a drop of his blood fall on the paper. Once the blood dropped Harry used his magic and said the spell "Genus Revelare" (reveal ancestry- in Latin) once the words were said the paper glowed brightly and at first nothing else happened then the blood started to run forming words that later turned out to be names.

Soon Naruto started to see names he didn't know, names he never heard of, names that seem familiar and names that he knew but never expected to see there like the First Hokage. Lee and Hinata were shocked by the blonde's pure bloodline. They could see that he was related to the most power clans to ever live.

'It seems that he was born to and for greatness.' Hinata could not help but think as she saw the blonde's family tree. 'He was born to be a leader.' Lee thought as he smiled "mom" when Naruto whispered that everyone stood on their toes knowing that it was time. The name Kushina Uzumaki appeared next to her name was a horizontal line that connected her to Minato Namikaze. A solid vertical line between them connected the two to Naruto Uzumaki.

Everyone was disappointed there was no mention of Carlisle in the family tree. Harry looked cautiously at his mate waiting to him to break down. While Esme held her mate who was hurt by the revelation Naruto was still staring at the paper with concentration "Naruto…" Harry didn't know what to say to make his mate feel better; Emmett who was standing next to the blond placed his hand on his back


"Why is my name connected to my parents with a straight line but my father's name is connected to my grandparents with a dotted line."

This statement accomplished two things, it got everyone's attention and it got the blood on the paper going again almost as if he said the magic words. From the left side of his father's name came a straight line that curved up and connected to a horizontal line that had two names on each end one was Thomas Cullen and the other was Mary Cullen nee Langley out of that same horizontal line came down another vertical line next to Minato's line that lead to another name Carlisle Cullen. The blood kept going revealing the real Cullen family tree but no one paid attention because everyone was in complete state of shock at the revelation. Since nobody was paying attention to the paper; Harry was somehow able to mumble a brief "Finis" (Finish- in Latin)

Nobody said a word unable to process what they were seeing if the paper was correct somehow Nathaniel Cullen became Minato Namikaze. It made no sense and no one could figure it out, Naruto was still looking at the paper where the names of his family were slowly fading. Carlisle was lost in his own inner turmoil this was a very bittersweet moment for him 'He's dead; I never got to see him again, to apologize and tell him how much I love him…' He looked up and saw Naruto who was the exact image of his little brother '…but he left me a nephew who is smart, strong and absolutely perfect.'

He realized Naruto was the second chance Nathaniel sent him so that he could make it up to him thought his child. As he was looking at the blond, the blond looked up and Carlisle looked into his mother's and his little brother's cerulean blue eyes. It was like going back in time and being with his family again the thought that he had a piece of his brother with him made him move towards the blond wrapping his arms around him in a hug. While that was going on a smiling Alice and Luna cleared the room giving the two blondes some privacy just in time as the vampires heard the sounds of whimpering that turned into sobbing, the cries were muffled by Naruto's face buried into Carlisle chest.

Naruto can't remember the last time he cried in front of someone; in fact it has been so long since he cried at all. With a childhood like his he had to be strong so he tried to avoid crying but the tears just wouldn't stop coming. He felt so safe and secure in the vampire's arms that the tears came naturally in front of him. 'This must be what it's feels like to be held by your father.' Naruto couldn't help but think as he tightens his hold on the vampire.

Carlisle was on the same boat the only thing stopping his tears was the fact that he no longer had any so instead he held on to the blond tighter almost afraid that he might disappear and that it might all turned out to be a hallucination. 'This is what holding your child after a long wait feels like.' He buried his face in the blonde's hair a smelled him getting a hint of the pine trees behind their house where he and Nathaniel spend hours playing and hiding from their father. That was what made it real to Carlisle, the scent it was what made him finally realize that he was holding his little bother's son.

"I thought I was alone, I thought I was alone…"

"Shhhh, it's okay, it's okay…"

At Naruto's repeated mumbling Carlisle pulled back and looked directly into those cerulean blues "…You will never be alone, I'm sorry it took me so long to find you." There was a complete and utter guilt in Carlisle tone after hearing about the blonde's childhood –the childhood that his little brother unknowingly cursed him to– he felt so guilty and angry at not being able to be there when his nephew need him the most. 'Logically I know that he was in a different world and I couldn't get to him but it doesn't make this guilt go away.'

"It's not your fault, you had no idea I existed. Even if you did we came from different worlds you wouldn't have been able to reach me."

Although his statement was logical a part of Naruto felt cheated by life because he had what he could see is an amazing uncle but he had to go through life alone. Now is too late because he can protect himself and he already got through the hard times. 'It would have been nice to have family who could have gone through those times with me; to hold me when I cried, to protect me when the villagers got rough, to love me and kiss me goodnight, to go to my graduation and tell me how proud they were…to just be there for me.'

For a while they both stood there in each other's arms savoring the moment, the reunion of long lost family members when Naruto suddenly stiffen "what's wrong?" Carlisle asked looking down at the blond worry about the sudden change. "You know that I'm not my father...your brother, I will never be him no matter how much I look like him." At the statement Carlisle was surprise but he understood the blond because I part of him wanted to pretend the Naruto was Nathaniel. Carlisle could see how heavy this was on the blond 'no one likes him for him.' He won't do that as much as he wanted his little brother back he was not going to compare Naruto to him. It would not be fair to Naruto or Nathaniel plus he could tell that Naruto was more like his mother since Nathaniel was always quiet and reserved.

"I know that and that is what makes you all the more important"

Naruto gave him a confused looked at Carlisle spoke unable to understand what the vampire meant

"You are the best thing my brother left behind because you are the best of him but you are not him. I miss him and I will always miss him but I now know he's gone."

Naruto's eye watered again at Carlisle's words he has never been seen as if he was the most precious thing in the world. Carlisle could hear the tears and the aww coming from their families outside but he focused on the blond. 'I could never confuse him for Nathaniel.' It was a while before they could both calm down and the emotions in the room became lighter and happier. Carlisle could practically hear his family vibrating with anxiety to come in, especially his nephew's 'that feels good to say' mates which he realized it's something that he would have to talk to them about 'I don't like them keeping Naruto in the dark and I do not want to betray to blonde's trust by keeping things from him, it's not the right way to start a relationship.'

"So, you think we should let the family in before the anticipation gets them?"

"Yes"

The answer did not come from the blond in his arms but from a voice outside one that he recognized as Alice's. This made both blondes laugh "I mean I don't know…" Naruto answered knowing that the vampires could hear them and at hearing Alice's whine he smirked. Carlisle couldn't help but smile at the teasing 'my nephew is quite devious.' "Okay, if I most…" Naruto wasn't even finish with his sentence when the door burst open and in came the short vampire follow by Emmett, Harry and Esme, everyone else came in at a slower paste but the emotion was the same everyone was smiling

"Yay, we're cousins now."

Alice was very excited as she grabbed the blond and jumped up and down before Esme stepped in and took the blond from a pouting Alice. "Welcome to the family Naruto." She hugged him but this hug was different from the first one they had especially when she whisper "thank you" before going off to hug and kiss her mate. Harry came and also hugged Naruto "how are you feeling?" "I'll let you know when I find out." They looked into each other's eyes trying to communicate with the other before Harry hugged him again but this time they were both wrapped around Emmett's big strong arms.

"Congratulations blondie looks like you're a Cullen now."

"Yeah, we're cousins."

The statement was received with silence in the room followed by laughter from Rosalie, everyone but Harry, Naruto and Emmett soon followed her at the irony of the statement. Emmett made a face while Harry looked worry at the possible predicament; Carlisle smirked at Emmett's reaction knowing that they will both need to tell the blond soon before he puts Emmett in the family zone.


A few days later

It has been a few day since the discovery of Naruto and Carlisle's relation and the two have spend almost every day together getting to know each other. They bonded and made up for lost time both talking about their short experience with Nathaniel/Minato. Everyone was happy for the duo because they both deserved it and at first Harry and Emmett weren't angry that Carlisle got to spend more time with their mate than they did but as Naruto learned more about Carlisle he admired him more.

Then the hero worship kick in and all Naruto ever talked about was how amazing Carlisle was. If he had questions he would ask his uncle, if he needed advice he would go to his uncle, in fact Naruto grew so attached to Carlisle that out of all the Cullens he was the first one that Naruto fully trusted although he was too scare to tell him about Kurama. At this Harry and Emmett began to grow jealous of the fact that Carlisle had won over their mate so easily specially since Naruto is known for not be able to show or understand love very well.

Both were teased mercilessly by their families and even Carlisle sometimes teased them by asking them questions about Naruto which he knew the answers to but they didn't. It got so bad the Harry and Emmett would touch the blond in some way when Carlisle was in the room to stake their claim. They would also try to distract the blond when he wanted to go see his uncle unknowingly making Naruto more suspicious. The breaking point came when Naruto confided in Carlisle about Harry and Emmett's strange behavior "everyone seems to know what's going on but won't tell me. I'm hurt that they think I'm an idiot and won't notice." Naruto's shoulder sagged and he lowered his head Carlisle felt guilty at knowing that he is one of the people that knew what was going on and won't say anything.

"I'm sure they don't mean to hurt you or fool you, they will tell you soon" Carlisle tried to comfort the blond "I hope so because I unfortunately for me will forgive anything but the one thing I could never forgive is someone betraying my trust and I trust those guys with everything and the fact that they don't seem to trust me hurts." Carlisle hugged the blond to comfort him but at that moment he made a decision he could not stand end watch while his nephew suffered.

When he was able to get Harry and Emmett alone he made his decision quite clear without betraying Naruto's trust "I understand that Naruto is your mate and you want to do things your way but he is my nephew and I will not be a part in hurt him…"

"…"

"…so either you tell him or I will." With that Carlisle walked away leaving a shock wizard and vampire behind. Making them realize that they are running out of time, they had to tell Naruto their way while they still had the chance to or risk losing him.


Inner Evil: Well that is all done. It took a while but as a reward for waiting and an 'I'm sorry' I wrote your guys one of my longest chapters yet. Please remember that I write as I go so this chapter kept changing as I was writing because I was struck by new ideas and inspiration so I had to accommodate hence it took longer. I hope it was worth the wait and everyone likes it. What do you guys think of my twist? I know some of you hoped that he was Carlisle son…

I will next post the epilogue to my other story and then the next chapter to this one, after that hopefully I will update much faster depending on inspiration I get.

Next Chapter: La Push wolf appear and two new possible pairings
