This is basically just something I felt like doing for a while, and I just recently started. Minato and Kushina are one of my favorite couples, so why not? Stick with me here, it might be confusing at first, but I swear I have ideas and it will be fine in the end.

Ch 1
Minato/Kushina/Fugaku/Mikoto = 14 years old
Kushina Uzumaki knew it was the end if the line for her. No one would save her. She was an outcast. She didn't belong. No one would notice her hair, or no one would care.
Then there was a flash of yellow. All four men fell to the forest floor, unconscious. At first she didn't realize what was happening, but then a familiar boy stood in front of her.
Minato Namikaze.
She felt her knees finally give away, and she began to fall. She squeezed her eyes closed, ready to hit the ground. Minato couldn't catch her from that distance. But he did. He was so fast, he looked like a small flash of light. He caught her, and held her bridal style, then flickered up to the top of a tree.
"I noticed your beautiful hair right away." She was only vaguely aware of what he said. All she could think of was how close he was holding her. Then it hit her. She felt like she was in love.
Kushina had never thought about love. She had always known that she would find the one, but she didn't know where- or how. But here she was, in the arms of the pansy boy she had thought of as flimsy back in the academy.
He didn't look so flimsy anymore.
He had grown into his blonde hair, and the eyes that had seemed weak and feminine now seemed calm and handsome, and completely dependable. His smile was gentle as he held her on top of the tree. He also must have been strong to be carrying her with such ease.
Her breath caught in her throat. He had always admired her hair. Her hair...which she had always hated. He thought she was beautiful and strong while others called her headstrong.
No. She couldn't love him. She was supposed to be tough. He would say something stupid and the moment would be over.
"Let's go home." He grinned at her sweetly. The moment continued.
Kushina couldn't do anything but nod bewilderedly. How could someone grow so handsome when they had looked so girly before? Why did he have this effect on her?
With her in his arms, at impossible speed, they were home before sunrise. The Chunin patrolling the gate saw them and gasped.
"Minato?" One of the asked. Minato was a very well known Chunin.
"Can we just go in?" Minato asked. The Chunin nodded, and they entered the village.
"Can you walk?" He asked her.
"Why? Scared to be seen with me, Namikaze?" Kushina teased weakly.
"No." He responded immediately. "I just wanted to know if you were okay."
"Oh." It hadn't even occurred to her that he was just being friendly. "Then I don't think so." She said cheerfully.
They walked across the village in the dawn light. The birds chirped, and a few voices reached them.
"Minato!" A voice yelled. It was Fugaku Uchiha, Minato's handsome best friend.
"Hey Fugaku." Minato said.
"Woah." The teenage Uchiha saw Kushina in his arms. "Hey Habanero."
"Hey snobby Uchiha brat." Kushina sneered. Fugaku and Kushina weren't exactly friends. They barely knew each other except the teasing, and the fact that he was her best friend Mikoto's cousin.
"So... Whats going on?" He asked curiously.
"Its a long story." Minato explained.
"Yeah, I bet." The young attractive Uchiha snorted.
"I'll see you later man, I gotta take her home."
"Tell me later." Fugaku grinned.
"Hmmmm" Minato trailed off. The two friends said goodbye. Kushina and Fugaku glared one last time each other, and they parted ways.
They soon arrived at her house, after getting a lot of strange looks in the village.
"Thanks- ttebane" she blushed at the "-ttebane". It was a terrible habit she had when she was excited or nervous. Now would be nervous.
"No problem" he said easily, knocking on the door. The door opened, revealing a middle aged woman who had the trademark Uzumaki red hair.
"Kushina-chan!" She yelped at the sight of them."Where have you been? And why are you covered in dirt?"
"Hi Mom." Kushina grinned. "No big deal. I got kidnapped and Namikaze saved me."
"Excuse me?" Her mother asked sharply. She waved the pair into the warm house. Minato carried to the couch and set her down.
"Start from the beginning." Her mother said as calmly as possible.
"When I got home today, no one was there. I thought I heard someone in the kitchen, and when I went to investigate, I found ninjas from Kumogakure. They kidnapped me, and I couldn't fight because it was four to one. I was near the border to the Land of Lightning and I had given up hope when Namikaze here saved me. I had been cutting off and dropping pieces of my hair and he found them. He knocked them all out and carried me home." She finished with a large breath.
"Oh my god." Her mother said, horrified. "We have to keep you and the-" she broke off and looked at Minato. "Under closer watch" she finished.
"We might as well tell him. I do owe him after all." Kushina smirked. "Hey Namikaze, guess what?"
"Oh Kushina, you don't owe me anything!" Minato looked horrified that she would even think of that.
"Listen up Namikaze. Maybe I want a friend I can confide in. I can't tell Mikoto so I might as well tell you since you admire me so much as you said earlier. Here it goes; I have the Kyuubi inside me.I'm the jinchuuriki for the nine tails."
Minato stared at her like he thought she was crazy. "You what?"
"I have the nine tails inside me." She said slightly hysterically.
"That's..." Minato stuttered, then fell over, unconscious.
"Looks like pretty boy turned out to be a pretty boy after all." Kushina smirked.
"Kushina, do you have to be like this? " her mother sighed exasperatedly. "Move over and give the poor boy some space on the couch." Kushina sat up with some difficulty and moved over so Minato had space. Her mother picked up the small body of the boy and put him on the couch next to her.
A few minutes later, Minato came to. "Good morning sleeping beauty" Kushina muttered under her breath.
"Are you serious?" Minato asked excitedly, seeming to have gotten over the shock.
"Of course moron." She grinned.
"That is so cool!" Minato grinned.
"Cool isn't exactly what I'd say, but yeah sure."
"No really! That's wicked!"
The two smiled at each other shyly.
Kushina's mother saw what was going on. 'The beginning of love' she thought to herself.
"Minato-kun, I think Kushina should rest now after that ordeal. What do you think?" she said carefully. She didn't want to drive away the only potential son in law she had, but Kushina looked pretty beat up.
"Of course Uzumaki-san" Minato said respectfully. "Bye Kushina. See you tomorrow hopefully."
"Bye" Kushina smiled at the prospect of seeing him tomorrow. "See you tomorrow"
Minato left the house whistling slightly.
No, she wasn't in love with him, and never would be. But they could be friends, couldn't they? Of course she wouldn't fall in love. They were just going to be she was going to see him tomorrow. It thrilled her, though she didn't want to admit it. 'Why am I so happy about seeing him tomorrow?' She asked herself. She shook her head roughly, trying to get him out of her mind, but it wasn't happening. She thought of him for hours before she went to sleep.
That was the first friendly encounter she had with Minato. She would never forget it.
So what did you guys think? I think it was OK. I guess. Review if you have any opinions or suggestions. I really like writing this actually... Do you guys think I should publish the second chapter?
By The Way, I'm saying this now: Fugaku will be much more likeable in this, and more teenager-like, and he and Mikoto will fall in love. I think she really did love him. It didn't seem like she would go for an arranged marriage if she was friends with headstrong independent Kushina... So yeah, they will be a couple.
Thanks for reading my failed attempt at romance! XD
