Naruto/Rosario+Vampire (Earlier this Year/2013)
A Thousand Flowers
Chapter 1: Childhood and Youkai Academy
Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki was one of the rarest of beings, a Youkai and not just any Youkai but a Kyūbi no Yoko. Yokos or Demon Foxes are among one of the strongest monsters to ever roam the Earth, only the first Vampire and the Fallen Angels can match the powers of their Kyūbi lords. For Yoko are split into elemental clans: The Blazing Red of the Fire clan, The Ocean Blue of the Water Clan, The Muddy Brown of the Earth clan, the Glorious Yellow of the Wind clan, The Metallic Gold of the Lightning clan, The Luminous White of the Light clan and the Midnight Black of the Dark or Shadow Clan. These seven clans are the strongest but within them is the potential for other clans to be born. In this way Naruto was Unique, for unlike every other Yoko he was born a Kyūbi instead of working his way up. His fur is a pale blue that fades into a ice blue on his stomach and the end of his Tails, Naruto is the Kyūbi of a new clan. The Ice or Snow Yoko clan. His mother the Fire Kyūbi Kushina Uzumaki and his father, the Water Kyūbi Minato Namikaze decided to move him to an environment where he would flourish and took him to Village of the Yuki-Onna.
In the village of the Yuki-Onna two Shinobi brothers with pale-white eyes with a hint of lavender married two Yuki-Onna by the names of Tsurara and Hikari. The twin brothers' names are Hiashi and Hizashi. Born just a few months after Naruto where their children. Hizashi's son Neji a rare Male Yuki-Onna who was seen as a sign of great fortune and Hiashi's twin Daughters Hinata and Mizore, both male Yuki-Onna and Twins were considered signs of great fortune and prosperity so Hiashi and Hizashi were accepted into the village easier than most. When Hinata and Mizore where two months old Naruto a ripe four months old was brought to the village. Tsurara had been Minato and Kushina's friend in Youkai Academy, along with the Succubus Ageha and a witch called Katsuki. They were reunited the night Kushina came to the Village.
Tsurara is returning home after having been at the general store purchasing special nappies for Mizore and Hinata, she sees two figures walking towards her, while this wasn't all that unusual the Nine-tails streaming behind both figures certainly is. Tsurara squints while trying to see their faces and then her eyes shoot open and she says "Who are y... Kushina and Minato!? What are you two doing here?"
Kushina, noticeable by the fact she is wearing twice as much clothing as Minato responds "Tsu-Chan, Lovely to see you again. While I'd love to tell you why I'm here can we go inside where there isn't wind chill at least?"
Tsurara face palms while shaking her head and replies "Of course, of course. I'm sorry follow me"
Kushina and Minato who is carrying Naruto follow Tsurara back to the ski resort where she lives and works and enter the private section of the resort. As they sit in the living room Tsurara comes in with two babies and places them in the crib in the living room, having relieved Hiashi of duty for caring for them so he could go work on the repairs while the girls are sleeping soundly. Tsurara watches with both amusement and astonishment as Minato sits down and attempts to control the wild waving of his son's Ice-Blue tails. She stares in astonishment for a little while before shooting a look at both Kushina and Minato that clearly states 'What in the Nine Hells, you better explain this!' Kushina is tempted to laugh but instead says "As you have no doubt noticed my son Naruto isn't exactly normal"
Tsurara snorts indelicately and says "Kushi-Chan I think that is the biggest understatement you have ever made, please explain why he is that color and why he is a Kyūbi at this age, I thought that you had to grow into it?"
Kushina nods and Minato comments now that he's got his son's tails under control "Normally that is true, but there is an exception. When a new Elemental clan is born the first Yoko of that clan is born a Kyūbi and carries their new fur color"
Kushina nods and continues "Like the Plant clan and their Green fur or the Storm clan and their Silvery-Grey fur. In this case Naruto is the first of the Ice Yoko clan, hence his Ice Blue or pale blue fur"
Tsurara nods and then stops and thinks before saying "You mean that he is the Yoko equivalent of a Yuki-Onna?"
Kushina nods and responds with "Or close enough to one for the differences to not matter"
Minato starts to look uncomfortable and asks Tsurara "Tsurara, is there any place I could put Naruto, while I love to hold him he's very uncomfortable to hold after a while"
Tsurara looks at him with the obvious question in her eyes and Kushina answers "Tsu-Chan, every Yoko's body temperature and the feel of our fur is dependent on our Element, I'm always very warm being of the Fire Clan and my fur feels like ashes, Minato is slightly cool and his fur feels a little like water or silk. Naruto being of the Ice clan is incredibly cold and feels a bit like snow, touch him and you'll see what I mean" Tsurara walks over and places a hand on Naruto to find him equally as cold as herself when she isn't making herself warmer, she is quite amazed by this fact.
Tsurara smiles and picks Naruto up while she says "Since he is so cold I can safely place him in the same crib as Hinata and Mizore without a problem" Minato and Kushina have equal looks of relief on their faces. Tsurara places Naruto in the crib and waits a few moments before signaling Minato and Kushina over, they walk over to find Hinata and Mizore cuddling up to Naruto and the one thing of all three of the adults minds is 'So Cute' Tsurara and Kushina immediately start fantasizing about Naruto and one of Hiashi and Tsurara's daughters being married in the future.
Hiashi, who is outside repairing a broken door, immediately stops due to his sudden urge to buy either a Sword. He shakes his head thinking it an idle fancy; little did he know that the urge would reappear for years to come!
Fifteen years pass as Naruto, Hinata, Mizore and Neji grow up together, as friends, sisters and cousins the relationship between the four could only be called tight, they were never far from each other. Five years in Hinata, Mizore and Neji's mothers had recovered enough to have another child. Hinata and Mizore became the proud older sisters of young Hanabi and Neji became the protective older brother of Inuchiyo and Hanbei his twin younger sisters. As this happened Kushina also gave birth to twin girls named Mito and Anko, Mito is a eight-tailed water Yoko and is heir to her father's clan while Anko is an eight-tailed fire Yoko and heir to her mother's clan. The elder four would watch the younger five grow up together as they had.
More often than not Hinata, Naruto and Mizore would have Snowball fights or Skiing races, Neji didn't involve himself in these as he preferred to read books instead. Naruto read as well but he was more interested in the powers of the boundary beings called 'Shinobi' He could easily use their Wind and Water jutsus due to his position and he was interested in their Fūinjutsu and Genjutsu both of which he started to learn, Hinata and Mizore picked up some Genjutsu and Taijutsu to help them later in life. Eventually they got Neji to join them in learning Taijutsu, but his real passion was Kenjutsu and for his fourteenth birthday Hizashi got him a Katana to wield.
Naruto, Hinata, Mizore and Neji train their little sisters in their abilities as they get older, while improving themselves at the same time. They watch as the years fly past and they live like nothing was ever going to change. As they got older they learned more about themselves and each other, like Naruto's ramen and prank addictions or the fact that Hinata secretly slept in Naruto's room for almost twelve years before being discovered by a most unfortunate problem.
It was a quiet Sunday morning and the children were sleeping in, with Hinata in Naruto's bed of course a fact that Kushina and Tsurara had been aware of for years while Minato and Hiashi lived in innocent bliss, their lives untroubled by the knowledge until Hinata's screams split the air. All the adults and Mizore and Neji rush into Naruto (And Hinata's) room to find Naruto unconscious and Hinata screaming about the blood on the bed sheets. As if a joke by Kami the father's looked like they were going to explode, Hiashi especially until a whispered word in their ears made them stop. For you see Kushina, Tsurara and Mizore had already figured out the problem and quickly got all the males out the room except Naruto who was still unconscious. When he woke and began to freak about the blood that had actually caused him to faint in shock, Naruto, Mizore and Hinata were told about Puberty.
To Hinata's immense embarrassment she had started her Menstrual Cycle that Yuki-Onna got from around the same age as Human girls, but Hinata wouldn't be able to have children until she was around seventeen. At which point there would be a definite sign that she was ready, once she turned 24 the menstrual cycle would cease and she would be unable to have any more children. Hinata and Mizore look depressed at this until Kushina mentions that if they were to mate with a Yoko or more specifically an Ice Yoko they would technically become one themselves and their mating cycle would be extended for centuries even millennia, as would their life expectancy. Who knew that a little blood on the sheets would end up in complete embarrassment for all three of them? Especially as Mizore had started her periods as well!
On her twelfth birthday Hinata and Naruto went out to the fields of the snow whites with Mizore, they watched with tears in their eyes as the boy Mizore had a crush on cruelly rejected her once he knew she was a Yuki-Onna. After Mizore had run of crying Naruto and Hinata stood at the edge of the field deep in thought, Hinata wondered if Naruto would ever bring her here on her seventeenth birthday and Naruto wondered both the best way to get back at the cruel boy and how to avoid Hiashi's wrath over what he was planning, Naruto shrugged and leaned closer to Hinata. Hinata turned her head slightly to show she was listening and Naruto whispered gently in her ear "When the time comes and you are to make your journey here." Naruto stops and Hinata looks at him with the unspoken request to continue Naruto continues with "I hope you'll journey here with me to pick one of these flowers." Hinata overcome with emotion hugs Naruto fiercely and whispers back
"You are the only one I wish to make the journey with Naruto-kun, I'll stay with you forever… if you'll let me"
Naruto only smiled and hugged back, he would give her the answer when they came here next time, when she was seventeen. But he knew he didn't have to, both of them already knew what he was going to say.
In the three years following Naruto went travelling to meet some old friends of his parents from school and he ended up meeting several of their children all who were around his age.
The day had finally come, Hinata, Mizore, Neji and Naruto had finished packing and were about to leave for Youkai Academy. Today would be the day they step into a world quite removed from the one they had lived their lives in. Naruto had packed his books on the Shinobi, especially the legendary Sannin who he worshiped, Hinata and Mizore were preparing their stalking equipment and looking over maps of the school for hiding/stalking spots, Neji had his sword and its cleaning kit packed and ready to go. Hanabi, Mito, Anko, Inuchiyo and Hanbei cried as they watched their older brothers and sisters get ready to leave.
Just outside the village they found the school bus waiting, they get onboard and sit down, as they are passing through the tunnel the Bus Driver says "We're got to stop and pick up one last student"
They come out of the tunnel in the human world and all four of them start feeling the heat of this world, Naruto releases cold air using his youkai to cool the bus down. The Driver notices Naruto looking at him and nods in thanks. The bus stops in front of a lone boy standing at a bus stop, he gets on and the Driver says "You sure you want to go to Youkai Academy? It's a very scary place; I hope you're prepared for what might happen"
The boy looks at the bus driver with a bit of fear in his eyes and Naruto cries out "Oi, calm down, I can smell your fear all the way over here!" The boy turns to see two boys and two girls sitting close to each other on the bus and sits down across the aisle from them.
He turns to them and says "Hi, my names Tsukune Aono, nice to meet you. Do you know anything about the Academy?" He frowns and says "Why's it so cold?"
Naruto smiles and says "I'm Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki" He gestures to Hinata "This is Hinata Hyūga, Mizore Hyūga her twin sister and Neji Hyūga their cousin" He turns back to Tsukune and replies "I know a little about the school, enough for me to know that a Human like you shouldn't be on this bus" Tsukune looks confused and Naruto continues with "Tsukune it's called Youkai Academy because it literally is a school for monsters… I see that you either don't believe me or think I'm crazy right" Tsukune nods, Naruto releases his transformation and lets his tails and ears hang out and then says "How about now?"
Tsukune just looks at him in awestruck fear and then says "Well, that sucks. The only school that is willing to let me apply is one for monsters" He laughs "I remember being called a little monster by my first year teacher. But I doubt this was what she meant" Naruto laughs as well.
Naruto stops laughing down and says "You know I could always turn you into a boundary being called a Shinobi, You'll be faster and stronger than a regular human but monstrous enough to attend without being killed"
Tsukune looks at him and says "What's the catch?"
Naruto shrugs and says "The training's a bitch, you might be seriously injured or killed and you'll always be on your guard, you might not be able to return to the regular world. But you could always go to the Elemental Nations and live there. Before you ask that's a hidden continent where the Shinobi came from. So want to make a deal"
Tsukune thinks for a minute before he says "I'll wait a week and then if it's still possible I'll take you up on the offer, okay?"
Naruto smiles and says "Fine by me"
Hinata cuts in with "It looks like we are there Naruto-kun"
Naruto smiles and comments "So we are Yukihime" ('Snow Princess'… I think)
Hinata blushes at the nickname Naruto give her and gets ready to get off.
The bus comes to a stop on a deserted cliff with a scarecrow/sign that says 'Youkai Academy'. Naruto and the Yuki-Onna get off first; As Tsukune is getting off the Bus Driver says "I would take that boy's offer if I was you, You'll see what I mean soon" Tsukune nods to him and hops off, He sees Naruto and his friends head off through the forest heading towards a strange gothic looking building and decides to follow them.
As Tsukune is walking along with Naruto just in sight and Naruto's friends hidden (The power of the Yuki-Onna's stealth/stalking) He starts hearing a strange ringing he looks around and does a complete 180 (While Naruto is watching him and silently laughing) before Tsukune notices a bat, he sighs and says "It's just a bat" Naruto is about to lose it when a pink bike comes flying out of the undergrowth and crashes into Tsukune. That does it, Naruto loses it and starts laughing as do the Yuki-Onna, Neji laughs so hard he falls out the tree he is hiding in.
Tsukune starts to get up but then notices "The ground here is rather soft almost like…' as he moves his hand he hears a girl's cry and notices that he's leaning over a girl with pink hair's lap and his hands are pushing against her thighs. He jumps up and says "I'm so sorry are you alright?"
The girl nods and says "Yes, I'm fine I was just a little dizzy from Anemia and… you… you smell delicious"
Tsukune's eyes bug out and he says "W-what?" before he can reach the girl reaches up and bites his neck *Chomp* Tsukune cries out in pain and Naruto who is just getting back up to his feet collapses laughing again.
The girl stands up and watches Tsukune run around holding his neck before she says "Sorry your blood was just so tasty! My name is Moka Akashiya and I'm a Vampire, Nice to meet you!"
Tsukune just looks at Naruto laughing and says "Do you mind if I take you up on that offer early?"
Naruto just shakes his head while laughing and smiling; he calms down and says "Not at all, but first. Whoever you are it isn't very nice to try and spy on someone" Hinata clears her throat "Unless you are a Yuki-Onna of course, then it's a form of love"
Tsukune looks weirdly at him as if asking really? And Naruto nods back to him. From the trees comes a black bike with a red eyed, pale teenaged boy sitting on it, the most distinguishing thing about him was "Sasuke, you still have the Duck-Butt Hair? I thought you got rid of it!"
The boy… Sasuke looks at Naruto sighs and says "I tried, it came back. Looks like you've met Moka I see"
Sasuke looks at Tsukune and says "The names Sasuke Uchiha and I see you've met my fifth (or was it sixth?) Cousin Moka Akashiya sorry about that, her introductions can be a bit… pointed" Sasuke smiles showing off his fangs.
Tsukune just looks at him and deadpans "Ha, ha… Your fricking hilarious" Sasuke just smiles and bows to Tsukune.
Naruto just shakes his head and says "Come on you three, we might want to get to school on time, Neji you okay?"
Neji waves his hand and says "I'm fine" before limping off towards the school. Moka, Tsukune and Sasuke walk together with Naruto and the Yuki-Onna. Naruto and Sasuke start talking quite animatedly about some obscure thing the rest of them don't even both to try to understand, Although Neji and Tsukune being men have a slight clue what they are talking about. The girls don't even bother to notice and talk amongst themselves, none of the guys can understand what they are talking about, but there's nothing unusual about that.
