Son of the Titania

By: InuYasha'sReincarnation

Summary: When trying to stop the Tower of Heaven, Erza Scarlet was thrown into a dimension where ninja ruled the lands. Meeting a blonde haired man, she fell in love and bared a son; Naruto Scarlet. Ex-quip!Naruto NarutoX?

Prologue: A Titania Falls

"Ma'am, are you alright?" a male voice asked as the prone figure felt a hand gently nudging her shoulder bringing Erza back to the land of the living.

Pain was all Erza could feel as she slowly regained conscious and opened her eyes. Her body feeling as if it was torn apart by the atom then slowly put back together with a fusion of Natsu's fire and Gray's ice. Grimacing as the bright sunlight shone down into her eyes as the scarlet haired woman quickly closed them. Slowly reopening them and allowing her sight to focus on the form of a man not much older than herself with golden blonde hair.

" …Laxus?" Erza questioned in a pained voice as she tried to move. But a firm hand on her shoulder stopped her from doing so.

"You need to stay still, ma'am, you are badly injured," the figure spoke. "And I am not this 'Laxus.'" He added as if an afterthought.

"Who...are...you?" the wounded knight asked as her vision began to fade and feeling herself slip back into unconscious.

"I'm Minato Namikaze," the now named man replied with a gentle tone, "Now don't worry, you will be alright."

Minato watched as the red-haired woman in front of him passed out again. Checking to make sure there was still a pulse, the young shinobi then slid his arms under the woman and picked her up, and looked up at a nearby tree.

"I'm taking her back to the village." Before her could take a step a figure dropped from the tree. The figure wore a solid black armor with a tanto strapped to his back and a painted porcelain mask painted in the form of dog. His silver hair defying gravity did nothing to hide who the person really was.

"Sensei," Inu spoke, "Is that really a wise idea. The woman could be a spy. We should be careful."

Minato gave a nod at the younger man, "That is true, Inu, but I cannot leave someone in this condition without proper care. I will take responsibility of her and if it comes to it, I will do what is necessary. Inu, you are in charge. Finish the route and head back to village."

Inu disappeared without a word once given the command from the older shinobi taking the other four shadows that were still hidden in the trees. Once the ANBU were gone, Minato looked down at the girl in his arms. 'I hope I don't regret this,' he thought as he took off back to Kohona, 'and I really hope this one isn't as crazy as the other red-head I know.'

The next time that Erza woke she noticed that the pain had receded greatly. Now her body just felt numb. Slowly sitting up she noticed that she was in a room so white and clean there was no doubt she was in a hospital. The young woman gazed around the room, pausing for a moment when she thought she saw movement from the corner of the room. Putting a hand to her head to dull the small throbbing pain, she wondered how she got here.

The last thing she remembered was sacrificing herself to stop the Tower of Heaven from exploding like a giant bomb. Did Natsu save her? No, if that happened why would they go to a hospital and not Porlyusica. Then maybe she was found by a nearby town and taken in for treatment.

Figuring that must be the reason for her current placement, Erza laid back down hoping to regain her strength and get back to her guild. She had no idea how long that she had been out and therefore missing. 'They must be worried out of their minds by now.' She thought with a small chuckle as her guild mates crossed her mind.

Natsu and Gray would be leading any and all search missions, most likely blowing up everything in their path. Lucy and Happy would be following along. Levy and Cana would be using their own ways to search for her, either by using cards or finding a spell buried in and old book. Master would even be using all his resources contacting other guilds for information. Even the rest of the guild would be out trying to find the Titania.

But if that was the case then how had they not found her already. The only way Cana or Levy could not find her by tracking her magic was if it was deathly low and unable to be detected. But even then, Natsu's nose should be able to pick her scent, unless she was thrown to an island around Fiore.

The door opening drew the red-haired woman from her thoughts. Looking at the door she watched as an elderly man walked in. He was wearing a white and red cloak along with a strange hat in the same color scheme. At first look he did not look like much of a threat to Erza until she met his eyes. They were the eyes of a warrior, someone who had seen the darker side of humanity and had survived the battles with it.

"Greetings," The man spoke up as he entered followed by two others. One was a figure in solid black uniform making it nearly impossible to tell if it was male or female. The only noticeable thing about this figure was the white bear designed mask that covered their face. If she did not know any better she would have thought the person was trying to be a ninja. Though that thought was absurd.

The other figure following the elder man was the one to really catch Erza'a attention. He was a blonde haired man with brightest blue eyes that she had ever seen. The man was wearing a green flak jacket, black pants, and a white cloak with a flame design running along the bottom. She did not know what it was but something about the man had peaked her interest.

"I had been told you had awoken," the older man continued.

Sapping back to the old man, Erza wondered for a moment how he knew that, as no one had entered the room since she had awoken. Then she remembered the flash of movement from the corner of the room.

"Yes, most likely from the one that was hidden in that corner," she replied raising a hand and pointing to the corner of the room. She did not miss the flinch that came from the black clad figure as she did. The two other men both looked at the ANBU agent as he lowered his head in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry sir," he spoke, "I thought I was unnoticed."

The elder man just gave a nod. "It is fine, Bear, but do not let it happen again." Turning to look back at the woman he gave a small smile, "That is highly impressive to be able to sense one of my ANBU though."

"I did not know he was their until he move," she answered honestly.

"Still a feat in itself. They are trained to not be noticed at any time." Sarutobi stood straighter with his eyes locking onto the woman's. "Now then, I am Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage of Konoha." Gesturing to the blonde haired man, "This is Minato Namikaze, the one who found you. And who may you be."

Sensing the shift in tone from the man she sat up and answered with a firm voice, "I am Erza Scarlet, ex-quip mage of the guild Fairy Tail."

3 Years later

Erza glared at the giant fox from her hospital bed as if the glare itself would stop the destruction, but unlike back at the guild, it was not working. She cursed herself for being so weak and unable to move at a time like this. If she was at full power, then maybe she might have been able to hold off the Kyuubi until help arrived, thus keeping the casuties to a minimum. Of course she had to go into labor as the beast was freed. Yes, unlike the majority of the people in the village, Erza knew the truth behind the Kyuubi and its jailor. One of the first people she had become friends with in this new world was the only other red-haired person around, Kushina Uzumaki. The two had become great friends over the last few years to a point they were sisters in all but blood.

It was just a few months ago that the Uzumaki Princess told the Fairy Queen about her status as a jinchuuriki and in returned Erza told her about her life as a slave, the betrayal of the man she cared dearly for, and the torment of knowing her friends were trapped in the Tower of Heaven but unable to help them without causing their death. Such news caused the more emotional red-head to break down crying and wrap the armored fairy in a tight hug, thus causing Erza to join in with shedding tears that she had been holding back.

But now, seeing the fox released and attacking the village, Erza knew that Kushina was gone. She knew that if the demon was released from the seal the jailor would die soon after. The thought pained her far more knowing the plan to stop the beast was going to cost the life of another that she had come to love and care for in this world. Minato Namikaze, the man who found her three years ago in that crater, the one who helped her adapt to this world, the Forth Hokage, and most importantly her husband.

As much as she wanted to fight, Erza could only stare out at the destruction as her body continued to fail her. She had already tried twice to go help, but each time only made if a few feet before collapsing in a heap. She almost could laugh at the cruel irony. The great Fairy Queen, The Titania, the strongest female of Fairy Tail, someone who had beat down monsters and dark guilds with relative ease was dying due to something as common as child birth. She could not help but blame herself for being so weak. Of course part of her mind tried to reason that it was more due to the sudden attack of the demon fox that forced many of the best med-nins and doctors to the front lines to help those in need. And something as routine as a birth could be handled by those that stayed behind.

But sadly the Kyuubi would claim another life. A shock wave of demonic chakra that the beast generated caused a few of her organs to fail and rupture. Under normal circumstances a blast as such would just make one sick and nauseous, but with her magic fluctuating due to the birth, a worst case scenario happened. Such a condition might have been able to be corrected and healed if the best medical personal were around, but with the inexperienced staff that was on duty at the hospital, the condition was fatal. She had learned that a number of other patients suffered the same fate as her. Erza did thank the heavens that her son was able to come into the world healthy.

Her son. Those words brought a joy to the Titania that she had never felt before. A child of her own was something that she never thought was something she could have. She had always tried to keep people at arm's length ever since being forced to be a slave and the betrayal of Jellel, although her team back home were worming their way in closer than she thought possible.

But now in this world far different than her own she was able to find things she never thought possible. The aftermath of the Tower of Heaven had shattered the walls that she had built up around her heart for years. And before she could even start rebuilding them the people in this village had managed to worm their way in and get her to open up.

First with Minito and his attitude to try to get people to see the best in everything, then Kushina, and her always cheerful personality, to even Jiraiya, the shameless pervert that she had to beat a few times before seeing the error of his ways proved to be reliable and a trustworthy ally and author to her favorite series, not that she would ever tell him that. Even a number of the villagers had grown on her. The chief at the ramen stand that Kushina dragged her to all the time and the blacksmith that she went to have her swords repaired and professionally sharpened.

An eerie silence snapped the young woman from her thoughts. Scanning the scene out the window, she noticed that the giant nine-tailed fox was gone. 'So he did it,' she thought knowing what the man she had come too loved had accomplished. Tears slowly fell down her face as she knew that Minito had fallen, giving his life to seal the beast inside their son.

It did not take long for the silence to break as the shouts of doctors and the cries of the injured grew louder as they rushed to the hospital. Erza was glad that she was in a privet room and that the door was closed. She really did not need to see the results of the battle, nor did she want to people to see the condition that she was in. Even on her death bed she wanted to be strong and known as a pillar of strength. The few that did try to enter were met with a kunai imbedding itself in the wall next to their head forcing them to leave. She had grown fond of the small blades, easy to use, very sharp, and she could keep hundreds of them in her pocket dimension without taking up much of her magic to retrieve.

Erza did not even turn her head as she flung another blade at the door as someone tried to enter. Instead of hearing the dull thunk of it hitting the wall, Erza heard the sound of it being caught and a light chuckle from the one who did.

"And here I thought you would want to see me," an elderly voice remarked.

Turning to look at the intruder, the red head caught sight of the former leader of this village. The man reminded Erza of her old master at Fairy Tail. Both were kind old men with a knack of bring out the best in people and wise far beyond their years. They were also two that were far stronger than they looked and respected far and wide. Plus they were both a bit perverted.

"Sarutobi-san," Erza quietly spoke, not trusting her voice, "Is he..? Is he really…?"

The elder man gave a grim nod knowing what she was asking. "Yes, my dear, he is. Minato succeeded in sealing away the Kyuubi."

Erza choked back a sob as the news was confirmed. She let her eyes fall from the former leaders face, catching sight a small bundle in the old man's arms. Seeing her eyes widen, Sarutobi moved closer to the bed, and without a word handed the woman the small baby.

The Titania could only stare down at the small sleeping form of life she now held in her arms. Unable to speak, she took in all she could from his features. The small mess of blonde hair that already matched his father's, the sharp nose that was from herself. Even the whisker marks that came from the demon fox that had destroyed their family.

Watching the two pained the old man greatly. "I plan to retake the mantle of Hokage and will do all I can to protect him, Erza. But he will have many enemies after him if people know his linage. Inside and outside this village." Earning a nod in reply he continued, "I think it would be best to hide his heritage until he can protect himself."

It only took a moment for the wounded woman to reply, "I agree with that, sir. 'Til he is ready the world should not know whose son he is."

The elder man just nodded as the Titania looked back at her child. Stepping back towards the door, he placed a seal on it. It was just a simple seal. One that would keep out anyone from interrupting these last moments between mother and child.

"Na..Naruto.." she spoke quietly as she gently smiled at her son. Bringing her right hand up she gently stroked the whisker marks, causing the young one to stir. Bright blue eyes met chocolate brown, and in an instant Erza could not help but tear up knowing that she would not be there to help him grow.

"I'm sorry, Naruto. Mommy's not going to be there to help you grow, but you better grow strong and do everything you can to protect your friends," she spoke quietly as tears slowly started trailing down her face. "There was so much I wanted to be there for. To teach you magic while your father taught you chakra, teach you to walk, read and write." She let out a light chuckle, "But I wouldn't have been nearly as hard on you as I was on Natsu when I taught him."

"It's going to be hard, I know, growing up without your parents, but all you need it to find people to become your family, people to share your happiness with, your fears, and your pain."

While continuing to speak to her infant son, Erza could not help but think of the guild and her family back in Fiore. The ones that for the last three year never left her mind as she always tried to find a way back to them. Even after she got married and found she was going to have a child, she spent time trying to find a way, even if at that point it was more just to see them again than to return to them.

'Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Mira, Master…' she thought sadly their faces appearing with each thought along with the rest of her friends, '…I'm sorry. Looks like I won't make it home after all.'

Summoning a bit of magic to her right hand, Erza placed it over Naruto's heart. A small light red magic circle appeared and slowly disappeared soon after. Erza smiled as such an action caused the young one to squeal in joy at the sight. "Naruto, I know you don't understand, but what I just did was give you access to all my ex-quip gear. One day you should be able to gain access to them, I also added something else, if you ever finish what I could not."

Wiping the tears from her eyes with her hand. "Grow up and be happy, Naruto. Do what you feel is right and do not worry about those higher up. You will never grow strong if you do. And remember this," holding her hand up in the classic Fairy Tail gesture, "It doesn't matter how far apart we are, or even if I cannot see you, my eyes will always be watching over you. I love you darling, I always will, and I'm so sorry I won't be there for you. You will always be my son, Naruto, show the world what a Titan can do." Placing a kiss on her son's forehead, Erza leaned back holding her son in her final moments.

Staying in silence Erza let her thoughts run free. Everything from her past, to the guild, her time here in Kohona, and even her child she barely got to know. She knew she was about to leave this world, but knew there was still one thing she had to do.

'One: Never reveal sensitive information about Fairy Tail to others as long as you live.'

'Two: Never use the clients you met through the guild to achieve personal gain.'

'Three: And though our paths may differ, you must always live your life with all your might. Never consider your own life to be insignificant. And never in your life must you forget the friends you held dear.'

Closing her eye's a final time with a small smile on her face and son in her arms, a Titania falls.

(((AN: Just an idea that came to me and wanted to write it. Kind of basing it off the story 'Mother Moon' which is a SailorMoonXNaruto crossover where Sailor Moon became Naruto's mother. Naruto will not be God-like in this story, but will be stronger. There will be times he can fuse magic and chakra but will cause a major, even for him, drain on his reserves. The pairing for Naruto is still undecided at this moment. I do have a few ideas and leaning towards one, but still unsure. Please review and tell me what you think.)))
