It was a beautiful night in Konohagakure, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The village was still recovering from the attack of the Kyuubi no Yoko, the Nine-Tailed Fox. It had been five years since the defeat of the fox and the village was celebrating. The sounds of merriment filled the village as the festivities went on. Yet, there was one who was not enjoying these festivities.

Hiding in the shadows was a young boy, five years of age. He had bright, spikey blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, and whisker- like marks on each cheek. This was Naruto Uzumaki, the container of the Kyuubi no Yoko, and it was his birthday. When the Kyuubi attacked, the Fourth Hokage sealed it in the, then infant, Naruto.

He knew he contained the fox, having met it the year before, after receiving his annual beating. He frowned as he watched all of the villagers interact with each other, each sporting a smile on their face. He faded into the shadows, not wanting to be caught by some of the villagers. If any of the adults saw him, they would try and catch him.

"Kit, head to the tower, "said a feminine voice in his mind.

"Ok, Kurama-nee-chan," Naruto replied, as he slinked through the back alleys of the village. Ever since he met Kurama, the year before, he had tried to befriend her. It took him awhile, but Kurama warmed up to him and soon took care of him like a brother. She would always tuck him in at night and sing to him when he cried. Kurama never thought that she would care for Naruto in such a way. She never had had a good experience with humans, except for this little boy. She vowed to herself that she would always be there to take care of him.

"Hey, Kurama-nee?" Naruto asked, as he hid behind some trash. "I can see the tower and no one is in the street. I think I can make it."

Kurama looked over what Naruto saw, but didn't like it. "Stay to the shadows," she said, the nervousness in her voice. "This doesn't seem right."

Naruto nodded. "Yes Nee-chan," he replied, and disappeared back into the shadows. Naruto quickly navigated the alleys with practiced ease. He had used these alleyways as his means of travel, ever since he was kicked out of the orphanage the year before. Jiji had gotten him his own apartment but Naruto still felt safer in the alleys, then in his own home. Soon the Hokage tower came into view and Naruto was almost home free, but there was one big problem. To get to the tower he would have to cover 300 feet of open road.

Naruto looked around and saw no one. "Nee-chan," Naruto said, a bit of fear in his voice.

"It's ok, Naruto," Kurama replied in a soothing voice. "You can make it."

Naruto nodded and took one last look around, before taking off running toward the tower. He was halfway to the tower when he was suddenly struck by something, knocking him over. Naruto slowly got up and saw a mob of villagers before him.

One of the villagers threw another bottle at the little boy, but Naruto had already run far enough away to escape harm. The mob of villagers began their pursuit; Naruto turned to try and get back in the alleyways, but was cut off by some of the faster villagers.

Kurama watched in anger and concern for her little brother. She wished she could get out of the seal and hurt them all. She watched as Naruto ran toward the front gate of the village. Kurama liked this idea because the gate guards were some of the few people who like Naruto. If he reached the gates they would willingly hide him from the villagers.

Naruto watched as the gate came into view. "Almost there," he said to himself, as an object flew past him. The villagers were throwing whatever they had on hand at him, trying to knock him down. Naruto dodged the projectiles the best he could, but he couldn't dodge them all. He was hit in the head with a beer bottle, causing him to fall over, a bit dazed from the hit.

"Can't run now, can you demon?," one of the villager mocked, as they surrounded the boy. "It's time to finish what the Fourth started."

The villagers commenced beating Naruto with all their might. Naruto desperately tried to protect himself by curling up into a ball. Every blow from the villagers resulted in pained cries from Naruto. Kurama could only watch, tears welling up in her eyes. She pushed against the cage with all her might, desparate to save her brother.

"Leave him alone," she shouted as she tried to reach Naruto. "He's just a boy." Kurama stopped pushing against the gate, gathered her powers, and attacked the gate. Seal be damned, she would help her brother and kill all who dare hurt him. The gate held up against Kurama's onslaught, but she wasn't deterred. She gathered her power once again and started to charge up a biju bomb. "I'm coming Naruto," she said and fired the bomb at the gate. The gate buckled from the force and a small crack appeared on the seal. This was all the Kurama needed. She pushed her Chakra out and into Naruto.

The villagers continued beating Naruto and cheered as he stopped moving. "That's what you get, demon," taunted one of the villagers, as he violently kicked the little boy. Suddenly, a cloud of red, burst from the boy, covering him. The villagers watched in awe as the cloud grew eyes and glared at them.

"You will not harm my brother," the cloud shouted before commencing an attack on the villagers. Soon the screams of death could be heard as the cloud decimated the mob. Quickly, several shinobi arrived at the scene. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared, observing the death that surrounded the cloud-covered boy.

Hiruzen was working on paperwork, waiting for Naruto to come and see him, only to feel the release of Kyuubi's Chakra. He had rushed out of his office with his personal ANBU to assess the situation. He looked at the red cloud surrounding the little boy, who he considered a grandson, with a frown.

"What happened?" he asked one of his ANBU, as he stared at the lifeless boy.

"From what witnesses have said, the child was surrounded by the mob when suddenly the red cloud of chakra appeared and retaliated," the Neko masked ANBU reported. "Most of the mob have died. We have tried to get close to the boy, but the red cloud won't let anyone get close."

Hiruzen nodded. "I will try," he said, and approached the red cloud. The cloud sensed him approach and turned to face him. Hiruzen was surprised to see that the cloud had eyes, noticed that it was watching him closely.

"What do you want old man," the cloud questioned, in a feminine voice.

Hiruzen was surprised by the talking cloud but didn't let it show. "I want to make sure that Naruto is ok," he replied, holding his hand up in submission.

The cloud stared at him, but didn't allow him to get closer. "He is fine, no thanks to you," the cloud protested in anger. "Every year he is beaten, and you do nothing to stop it. I hate watching him get hurt."

Hiruzen looked at the cloud in shock; He had already deduced that the cloud was Kyuubi. He just never expected the Kyuubi to care for its container. He was also sorry to admit that he hadn't been successful in stopping the beatings. The council had impeded all of his efforts.

"I understand," Hiruzen said with sadness in his voice. "But, I promise you, I won't let it happen again."

The Kyuubi looked over at Hiruzen, then to Naruto. She knew he would never be happy here. They would always hate him, because she was inside of him. She couldn't stand to see him get hurt anymore. She wanted to take him away and go somewhere they could live in peace.

"It won't happen again," Kurama stated, as she looked over her young charge. "I will be the one to make sure of that."

Hiruzen watched as the red cloud became thicker and thicker, Kyuubi chakra filling the air. Suddenly, a small hole started appeared above the cloud and slowly started to pull in Naruto. Hiruzen rushed forward to grab the boy before he was pulled in, but to no avail. Kyuubi had gently lifted him up and put him through the hole.

"You will never see him again," Kurama avowed, as the last of her essence entered the hole, and disappeared from the elemental forever.

It was a beautiful day. The birds were singing and everyone was going about their business. A young couple could be seen walking together arm-in-arm. This was Charles and Ray Beams. Charles was a tall, masculine man with short, brown hair and light blue eyes. He was a very outgoing man who could befriend anyone.

His wife, Ray Beams was a beautiful woman with long black hair and green eyes. She was a very caring and kind woman that could light up any room. The pair had been together since their time in the military, both had served in the SOF, Special Operation Forces, but they had retired and now worked as freelance mercenaries.

"Oh, Ray, it's such a wonderful day," Charles noted, a large smile on his face. "What shall we do today?"

Ray smiled at her husband. "Well, we have some shopping to do," she said. "Also there is a new CD I would love to buy."

"Wonderful, shall we be off?" he asked her.

"Of course," she replied. They had barely started off in their new direction, when Charles noticed something in the sky. A hole slowly opened up and something seemed to fall out. Charles stared at the falling object and saw that it was a child.

"Ray," Charles stated with a serious expression, "Come on."

The pair ran toward the falling child as quickly as they could. The moved like ghosts through the crowd, all the while never losing sight of the falling boy. Ray was the first to burst free from the crowd and managed to catch the falling boy. She looked him over and saw that he was badly hurt. Bruises riddled his small body and he was barely breathing. Ray's motherly instinct kicked in and she rushed the young boy to the closest hospital.

She burst through the hospital door. "Help him!" she cried as many of the nurses looked at her in shock. The nurses quickly took the young boy from Ray and rushed him into a bed. Ray could only watch, helpless, as the hospital staff worked on him.

Charles soon arrived at the hospital and saw the worried look on his wife's face. "How is he?" he asked, the worry evident in his voice.

"He was really hurt when I caught him, "Ray said as tears began to pour down her face. "He's just a young boy, but it looked like he was beaten within an inch of his life." Charles held his wife as she cried for the innocent stranger that had suddenly and mysteriously come into their lives.

-SB-

Naruto groaned and slowly opened his eyes. He looked around and saw that he was in a room with white walls and that smelled of disinfectant. He could tell that he was in a hospital but was unsure as to how he got there. The last thing he remembered was being chased and beaten by the mob. He tried to sit up but was unable to, due to the excruciating pain he was still experiencing.

"Kurama-nee-chan?" Naruto called in his mind, as he looked up at the ceiling, no answer. He began to worry and quickly went into his mindscape and ended up in front of a gate. He peered inside and saw Kurama lying on the ground, not moving. The young boy ran through the bars and hugged the giant fox. "Nee-Chan!"

Kurama slowly began to stir and looked down at her young charge. "I am ok," she said with a slight wheeze in her voice. "I just need to rest. I will be up in a few days."

Naruto just nodded and hugged Kurama with all of his might. Kurama wrapped her tails around the small boy and nuzzled him close. She would always protect him even if it cost her life. She looked down at Naruto and smiled. "Now, go back to the waking world," she ordered. "I'll see you in a couple of days."

Naruto smiled. "Ok Nee-Chan," he said and slowly disappeared from his mindscape, leaving Kurama on her own. She smiled as she settled down to take a well-deserved nap, after all, dimension hopping was a tiring business.

-SB-

Naruto opened his eyes, a relieved expression on his face. He was content to know that Nee-Chan was safe. He looked around and saw a nurse standing over him, a smile on her face.

"Glad to see you're up little one," the nurse said, as she looked him over. "We didn't expect to see you up so soon."

Naruto just looked at the nurse with a bit of suspicion. "I heal fast," he replied.

The nurse smiled. "That's good," she replied. She reached into her pockets and Naruto tensed. The nurse noticed this unusual reaction with a bit of concern. She slowly pulled out a lollipop and showed it to him. He looked over the lollipop with suspicion. He had previously been offered candy in the village, but it was poisoned. The nurse saw that he wasn't interested in the candy and became even more concerned.

"Don't you want it?" she asked him.

Naruto shook his head. "It might be poisoned," he replied as he scooted away from the nurse.

The nurse was shocked. "It's not poisoned," she replied in a caring voice.

"Then you eat it," Naruto replied quickly as he looked for a quick escape.

The nurse looked at him for a moment before putting the candy in her mouth and sucking on it for a few moments. She pulled it out of her mouth and smiled. "See, it's not poisoned."

Naruto slowly began to relax. The nurse pulled out another lollipop and handed it to him. Naruto inspected it for a few moments before putting it in his mouth. The nurse watched as Naruto's face lit up as he enjoyed the candy.

He seemed to be more at ease as his focus was solely on his treat. She politely waited for him to finish before asking him a few questions. "Now, young man, can you please tell me your name?" she asked him.

Naruto looked at her for a moment. "Naruto Uzumaki," he replied, a bit guarded.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Naruto," she replied. "Now, can you tell me where you're from?"

"We're not in Konoha?" Naruto asked in surprise.

The nurse looked at Naruto in confusion. "Konoha?" she asked. "We're in Telios."

"Is that near the Land of Fire?" Naruto asked. He had never before heard of Telios and began to worry.

"There is no Land of Fire near here," the nurse explained, confused. The nurse saw that Naruto was growing more concerned and moved to calm him down. "Hey, it's ok. Let's contact your parents and have them come get you."

Naruto's eyes started to water. "I don't have any parents. I am an orphan," he stated as tears started to flow down his face.

The nurse looked down at the crying boy, leaned down, and gave him a hug. Naruto froze but felt that the nurse didn't have any other intent then to comfort him. He cried for a long time 'til he fell asleep in the nurse's arms. She slowly laid him down on the bed and left the room. Naruto remained strongly on her mind as she walked toward the nurse's station.

She took the time to file the necessary paperwork for Naruto, and frowned. Once Naruto was healed and released from the hospital, he would probably be put in a state run orphanage. She couldn't help but feel sorry for the young boy.

"Excuse me," a woman voice asked from behind the nurse. The nurse turned and saw a young woman with long black hair looking at her.

"How can I help you?" The nurse replied.

"My name is Ray Beams," Ray said with a forced smile. "I brought in a young boy earlier today that had been badly injured. I was wondering how he was doing."

The nurse instantly thought of Naruto but wanted to make sure. "What does the boy look like?" she asked.

"He must be about five years old, had bright blonde hair and blue eyes," Ray said with a motherly voice.

The nurse nodded, assured. "He is doing fine," she replied with a smile. "He woke up a few hours ago, but now he is sleeping. He is healing very well and should be out of the hospital soon."

Ray smiled, "that's good," she said with a sigh of relief. "Are his parents coming for him."

The nurse shook her head. "Unfortunately he claims that he has no parents," she replied. "He will probably be sent to a state orphanage once he is released from the hospital."

Ray frowned. Here was a little boy, still covered with fresh wounds, with no family, and was to be sent to an orphanage. She couldn't stand to see that. Ray bid goodbye to the nurse and headed back into the waiting room. Charles saw her coming and smiled.

"So how is he doing?" Charles asked, hopeful.

Ray just gave him a sad smile. "He's doing better," she replied, but sadness clung to her voice.

Charles noticed this, reached for his wife's hand, and gently held it in his. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"He alone," Ray replied as tears began to run down her face. "From what I've been told, he's an orphan. They'll most likely send him to an orphanage once he's discharged."

"That's terrible," he replied but noted a longing look in her eyes.

"I want to take care of him," Ray said through her tears. "I can't help but want to take care of him. When I caught him, I felt a connection to him like he was sent here to be ours, to be our son."

"Are you sure?" he asked.

Ray looked at Charles and nodded. "More than anything in the world," she replied with a smile.

Charles grinned. "Well, then, let's go get our son," he replied. Ray wrapped her arms around her, wonderfully understanding, husband and hugged him closely.

It had been a few days since Naruto had entered the hospital. He was quite worried, at first, about being in an unfamiliar place. Thanks to the nurses, he was able to stay calm and was told, a bit, about this new world. This land seemed to be filled with things called trappers, special waves that could be used to power certain vehicles. He was simply amazed by all the technology available to these people and was quite excited to learn more about .

Kurama had woken up after two days of rest and was happy to see her young container was doing well. She was happy that this world didn't mean him harm and that he would be safe from the hatred he received back in Konoha.

Naruto had just finished eating breakfast, a look of satisfaction quickly spread across his face. He hadn't ever eaten this well, and he was sad to see it end. He wondered what would happen to him after he was released from the hospital.

"What should I do Kurama-Nee-Chan," Naruto asked Kurama as he lay in the hospital bed.

Kurama was silent for a few moments. "Well, we'll need to wait and see what they will do with you," she replied. "Most likely, they will send you to an orphanage."

Naruto shook his head. "I don't want to go back to one of those," he said, scared. The last orphanage he was in, left a permanent, negative impression in his mind.

Kurama felt Naruto's fear and sent a small pulse of chakra to surround him. "It will be ok," she stated in a calming voice. "I am here for you."

Naruto smiled, "thanks Nee-Chan," he replied as he felt Kurama's chakra around him. She would always wrap him in her chakra when he felt bad. He always felt safe with Kurama.

"Hello, Naruto," a nurse greeted from the door.

Naruto turned toward the nurse. "Hi Nami," he replied with a large smile. "What brings you here today?"

"You have a few visitors here to see you," she stated.

Naruto looked at Nami with surprise. "Really?" he asked, a bit worried.

"Yes," Nami replied. "It was the couple that brought you to the hospital."

"Why would they want to see me?" Naruto asked her, confused.

"They want to make sure you're ok," Nami explained. "I will go get them. It will only be a few moments."

Naruto just nodded and watched Nami leave. "Hey Nee-Chan," Naruto asked as he sat in his bed. "Should I meet these people?"

Kurama was silent for a few moments. "I think you should at least thank them for saving you," she suggested. "It's the nice thing to do."

"Yes, Nee-Chan," Naruto replied.

Soon Nami came back in with two people. They seemed to be a married couple, from what Naruto could tell. The man was tall and had an inviting smile on his face. The woman was quite beautiful and looked at him with a motherly expression on her face.

"Hello," Naruto replied. "Thank you for saving me."

The woman smiled, relieved. "You are very welcome," she replied. "Can you tell me your name?"

"I'm Naruto," Naruto replied, as he watched the pair.

The woman softly sat down on the bed. "It's nice to meet you Naruto, my name is Ray Beams and over there is my husband, Charles."

Narut nodded. "It's nice to meet you," he greeted.

Charles walked over and stood next to his wife. "So Naruto, how are you feeling?" he asked.

"I feel fine," Naruto replied. "I heal fast."

Ray smiled when she heard this. "That's good," she said. "So, will your family come get you once you leave this place?"

Naruto's gaze focused on the floor. "I don't have a family," he replied sadly. "I have always been alone."

Ray frowned. "That's too bad," she said, as she tried to hold back her tears.

Naruto faked a smile. "It's nice to have met you," he repeated. "Thank you for rescuing me."

Naruto looked away and Ray could feel her heart breaking. She couldn't stand for it. She reached over and pulled Naruto into a hug. "You will not be alone anymore, "she said as tears poured down her face. "I won't let you be alone."

Naruto was in shock. What did Ray mean? He couldn't understand. "Nee-chan," he thought. "What does she mean?"

Kurama smiled. "I think she wants to be your mother," she replied. Kurama had been watching Ray ever since they had entered the room and could sense her tenderness and concern for Naruto.

Naruto froze. "Really Nee-Chan?" he replied, confused and yet, hopefull.

"Yes," Kurama replied with certainty.

Naruto looked at Ray and wrapped his arms around her. "Kaa-san," he cried, happily. Ray's eyes widened in surprise.

"That's right. I am your Kaa-san" Ray said holding her son in her arms. "I'm here to take care of you."

Charles protectively watched over his wife and child as they shared this special moment. Ray and he were finally getting what they had always wanted, a child. He walked over and wrapped his arms around them. Nami watched from the door, tears in her eyes, as she watched this new family together.

-Eleven Years later-

Naruto slowly opened his eyes and yawned. He had grown a lot since that day, eleven years ago. He was now sixteen years old and had a bright future ahead of him. After he was released from the hospital, his parents had taken him to their home, their airship, the Swan. Naruto would never forget that day. He was amazed at the sight of his new home.

He had changed physically since that day as well. He was no longer the small, malnourished boy that had no family. He was now a tall, strong, young man with a happy family. He looked down and saw a photo sitting on his night stand. It was the first family photo he had ever taken, at the hospital.

"Kit, stop daydreaming," Kurama said in his mind. "We have some waves to ride."

Naruto smiled. "I know Nee-chan," he replied, as he started to change. "Dad said we were going to a great place to ride today. Also, we are going to Tresor Labs to pick up my LFO."

Kurama grinned. "Yeah, it's going to be a fun day," she replied as she stretched in her cage. Naruto had made it bigger for her and she was very happy to have the extra room.

Suddenly a knock was heard from the other side of the room. "Naruto, honey," Ray said through the door. "Breakfast is ready, come eat."

"Coming Kaa-san," Naruto replied. He grabbed his rev board from the wall and headed out of his room, ready to face the day.

This is the first chapter of my Eureka 7/Naruto crossover. I really happy with it, the idea for this story had been in my head for a long time and now it is a reality. This first chapter was mostly to set up for whats to come. I really liked Ray and Charles for Eureka 7 and were sad to see them die. They weren't bad people, just tragic, but not bad. Well now the will live and have a family like they always wanted. They will still come in conflict with the Gekkostate but we will have to see. As for the pairings I have chosen a good one Naruto/Anemone. Yeah it will be a fun pairing and it fits. Anemone will end up on the Swan and the fun begins. Now I need help deciding Naruto's LFO. Was think of using something for Code Gauss but if you have any suggestions it would be awesome, only stipulation is no Gundam references. Already using them in another story. Please read and tell me what you think. You guys are awesome.
