Here is my new story, All Time Low. It is a BarricadexHuman Oc story. So cross species romance and eventual Smut. Rating will change in later chapters.

Also, you may or may not notice this but I like to name my stories and chapters after songs. So when I do I'll start naming them in the beginning.

Gonna add a warning in the beginning. This story is sorta crossoverish with Naruto. The character is from the Naruto world, but aside from being a shinobi and having shinobi abilities, there will be minimal mentions of the Naruto world. There may be small mentions for backstory sake, but I'll try not to delve too deep into it and if I happen to do so, I will mention before hand and you can skip it if you aren't interested in the character's backstory.

If you aren't okay with this, that's okay, you can skip my story. But I hope you'll give it a try. Should you not be into Naruto or not know much about it and need something explained, let me know and will be happy to do so. But hopefully it can be read without needing to know much about the Naruto verse.

Also, the girl is a fox girl. Not quite human but mostly. Here is a reference picture for your viewing pleasure: fav . me / dbemtcq (Remove spaces) Also a picture of her Khyber blade. The picture shows it's size compared to the character. It's pretty large.

Chapter One: Castaway

No noise is breaking my silent star
I'm on the run, I can go so far
Flying in absence of gravity
Feeling the vibe of eternity

Barricade stumbled into the abandoned warehouse, clutching at his chest as energon leaked freely. He grunted in pain, hauling himself further into the dark space, hoping to hide and treat his wounds in peace.

The battle for the Allspark had gone to shit. Barricade hadn't even made it close to mission city before he had been kicked out of the game. It irked him how quickly he was being disposed of by the autobots these days.

But maybe it was for the good. It was getting tiring, these battles. And for what, to restore a home already long gone. Had Barricade been younger, maybe he would still carry around some flickering hope that they could get cybertron back. But he wasn't some youngling anymore. He'd seen enough battle and death to know that hope wasn't worth keeping.

And what good had their war done? He wasn't sure. He hadn't been sure in a long time. He stayed with the decepticons because he was loyal and had nowhere else to go - he'd be damned if he ever went to the autobots- and that was it. But what had his loyalty been getting him?

Slagged. It was getting him slagged.

He grumbled, his back hitting the metal wall with a bang and he slid down to the floor. He was just so exhausted. Of all of it. They waged war on their planet, lost it and then just continued it on another, bringing these insufferable humans into the mix.

And now, now the Allspark was gone. The one thing that brought life to their race, that could maybe revive their dead planet, had been thrust chest deep into their crazy mad leader and obliterated.

Barricade hadn't needed to be apart of the battle to get that news. Starscream had made sure to broadcast it to all the living decepticons that their illustrious Lord Megatron was no more and that he was now in charge.

Honestly, Barricade hadn't really cared about it, he didn't really care now either. With no cybertron, no Allspark and no Megatron, what did the decepticons have left to fight for.

Nothing really. And if Starscream thought he was gonna fight for him he would be sorely disappointed. He'd much rather rust then work under that crazy seeker.

Barricade sighed and unsubspaced a field repair kit. He needed to try and repair the more serious damage. He had already waited too long to do so in an attempt to leave the battlegrounds and the autobots far behind him.

He had driven all the way to Utah. It had surprised him that he was even able to make it this far or that he was even able to transform in the first place. But he also knew a mech could do extraordinary things when faced with life or death. And if he had stayed near mission city, the autobots and their new human allies were sure to come looking for him. If he stayed under the radar, just maybe, he'd be able to avoid all confrontation period.

He was quick to start repair on the large gash near his chassis. It was the most important thing that needed tending to, being so very close to his spark chamber. He picked shards of glass and pieces of cement from the wound, making sure to close off leaking cables as he made his way through. He was by no means a medic, but he had the know how to keep himself from dying from energon loss.

With everything sealed up, Barricade slapped a basic weld patch on. It would hold for a while but it certainly wouldn't last forever. It wasn't meant for that.

He placed his kit to the side, venting raggedly as the pain assaulted him. He closed his optics. Maybe a little recharge would do him some good. There was no one around for miles so he shouldn't be bothered.

Yeah, he could do for some recharge.

It was raining.

Aurorah groaned when she felt the first drop of water on her face. Slowly waking, she became aware of not just the rain, but her aching body and the bed of hard rocks. When she went to open her eyes, light assaulted them and her hand quickly covered them as a headache surged through her skull. She rolled over to her side, the position being no more comfortable than being on her back but at least her eyes didn't face then sky.

Shit, what happened? she thought, slowly bringing herself into a sitting position. The aches protested her movements but she ignored them in favor of opening her eyes and taking in her surroundings. All around her was green. She was surrounded by trees and bushes in different shades of green; the only color being the browns of the tree trunks and various different wasn't right. Thinking, she clearly remembered her mission had been in the Wind country. The only green thing that frequented Wind was cactus. And she had been hell deep in some ancient ruins. No green there either.

She was missing something.

'You were stupid, that's what.'

Aurorah started when she heard the voice. It was a familiar voice, one that was with her at all times. A soothing pulse suddenly covered her mind like a balm and she breathed a relaxing sigh as her headache melted away. Her mind started to become muggy and red-orange wisps moved around her, chasing the cold and aches from her body.

'I told you not to touch it Kit, but you never listen.' the voice griped, pushing more warmth towards her. She laughed when she felt tightly concealed worry.

"I'm sorry Kurama. I promise not to do it again." she said.

Within her mind, nine tails unfurled, revealing a lone creature sitting amongst brightly glowing red and purple crystals. A thick humanoid animal body rose from atop black stone surrounded by shallow water, shaking red-orange fur and stretching. Crimson eyes peered out, set in coal black fur that went to long ears and down orange cheeks. Two rows of sharp teeth bared themselves in an unbelieving sneer.

'Yes you will and we'll have this whole conversation all over again.' The creature, a fox named Kurama, snorted before laying back down, head resting on his arms. His tails hung over the end he of his perch and dipped into the cool water.

Aurorah recalled what Kurama had been so against her touching. The shard covered in strange red glyphs had peaked her interest as it sat upon a small pedestal, buried deep in the ruins. It was small, but she could feel such a radiating power from it. She really shouldn't have; Kurama had all but yelled at her not to, but she had reached out and touched it. Searing pain had been all they felt after that, as the red glyphs from the shard slithered onto her body, burning as they trailed along every inch of her skin.

It had done the same to the fox inside her. Kurama had been pissed, feeling the foreign energy entwine with their chakra. Invading where in was not wanted. But there was nothing they could do, and soon Aurorah felt the comfort of darkness beckoning her and she had slipped into unconsciousness.

Now she was here, in a strange green place that was not the decrepit ruins in the land of wind she had previously been in. Everything was hitting her senses and it felt out of place. The chakra was off, different than what she was used to and she couldn't explain it.

'You need to get up and find shelter. This rain looks like it will become a storm.' Kurama was right. Aurorah could smell the storm brewing in the sky. If she didn't find somewhere to lay low, she'd get caught up in it.

Pushing off the muggy comfort that the fox had put her in and the disconcerting thoughts in her mind, Aurorah hauled herself up. Thankfully, her pack and weapon had been taken with her and she picked them up. Taking in that she was in the middle of nowhere, with no signs of people, she had nothing to follow and so she picked a direction and walked. Feeling the storm faster approaching she took to the trees, feeling her muscles ache as she pumped chakra into her feet and increased her speed.

She wasn't used to such feelings, as Kurama normally washed any pain away before it could settle fully. But this full body ache was persistent even with her companions healing chakra. It was frustrating, as they both shared in the pain. Was it from whatever had blacked her out to begin with? Once she was safe from the rain, she could try and tend to it herself.

It took around twenty minutes, the rain steadily getting harder and thunder rumbling in the distance, before she found a place to stay. It was a large metal warehouse, abandoned by the drab looks of it. It was covered in masses of hanging vines, foliage and low hanging trees, keeping it faintly hidden. It was strange though, as she had never seen such a warehouse before, but then everything around her was strange now. Aurorah quickly made a sweep of the perimeter before stopping in front of a large hangar door. Off to the side she could see a much smaller door that she'd be able to use. She approached it, jiggling the handle and finding it unlocked. She opened it, wincing when it creaked loudly in the quiet.

It was dark when she entered, and Aurorah was thankful to Kurama when chakra flooded her eyes, making them bleed from blue to red. The room was still dark but she could make out every structure within it.

Her ears twitched as she surveyed the room. It was so weird. The place seemed to be some metal workshop, different half finished and unused contraptions were all over the place. Tools and scrap metal lined the tables along the walls. But everything seemed abandoned judging from the fine layer of dust on everything.

Aurorah was startled and ears flicked back when a loud crunching sound came from behind her. A touch of dangerous energy brushed against her chakra field and she tensed, slowly turning to face a dark space off in the far corner.

"Who ever you are, come out!" She demanded, hand going to grip the handle of the the large khyber blade strapped to her back. She lowered to a defensive position, red chakra leaking in preparation to attack. A chuckle resounded through the warehouse and within the darkness, bright crimson light blinked on ominously. They looked down at her and Aurorah guessed they were the eyes of whoever was hiding.

"Oh little human, so ready to jump to your death." A voice sneered. Aurorah frowned. The voice was male, of that she was sure but there was this electric quality to it that made it slightly inhuman. It was unnerving.

The crunching sounded -metal against metal is what it sounded like to her- resumed and suddenly she was face to face with the strangest being she had yet to ever see. So shocked by the creature's sudden appearance into her space, she stepped back only to trip and fall on her backside, blade slipping from her hands and clattering to the floor. She leaned onto her elbows and looked up, watching as he loomed ever closer. Two metal arms came to cage her in on either side as four red eyes bore into her.

And that's all he did. He stared at her for a long while, and she was much too unsettled by the whole thing to do anything about it. Despite her feelings though, she did find him interesting. She watched as the black and white metal plating his body was made up of move on its own, flaring on occasion only to clamp down. It reminded her of how Kurama's fur would rise and settle with his emotions.

But she was unsure what this creature was thinking. Was he going to try and kill her, as she seemed to have trespassed into his home; or did he plan to continue starting a hole into her.

After another few moments of awkward staring, Aurorah decided she'd had enough. She raised her hand up, startling him enough by her sudden gesture to make him rear his head back slightly. He looked at her hand as if it had offended him in some way.

"My names Aurorah." She said as confidently as she could. His eyes turned from her offending hand to refocus on her face. Again he just stared and she lowered her hand. "Okaaay. Look, I said my name now you say yours." She encouraged. That finally seemed to get a reaction from him aside from staring and she was finally granted space when he growled deeply and stepped back.

"My name is of no concern to you fleshling." He returned to his dark corner, red eyes glowering at her. "You wish to pass the storm here. You may do so, but you will leave once it has gone understood?"

Aurorah ignored his rudeness in favor of accepting his kindness in allowing her refuge in his little home. He could just as easily make her leave and she really didn't want to run around anymore in the rain with the storm so close. Maybe later she could weasel a name out of the big creature.

"Thank you." She said. She only received a grunt before red eyes disappeared in the dark.

Now, some info. Instead of the usual transported from a world like ours, I decided she is a shinobi from the Naruto verse. It would make giving her Kurama a little more sense. For why Kurama is no longer with Naruto? Well I haven't decided on whether Naruto even exists in my headcannon, or if he has already passed and the mantle of Jinjuuriki has been given to Aurorah. This also mean Aurorah is no weakling. She knows how to fight and shes not afraid to do so. Yes, the cybertronians surprise her at first, the whole world does right now, but she gets over it. Shes adaptable. So expect her to hold her own when confronted with a fight, because she very much doesn't need saving from someone else (Although for Barricade she may make an exception) So expect a physically strong competent OC who may or may not be a bit of a ditz. She really needs to stop touching stuff.

Also, please don't ask why I didn't put this in crossovers. Because I didn't. Aside from Kurama and her being a shinobi, there isn't really going to be much Naruto things aside from maybe characters mentioned (but that may be unlikely) It will be mentioned in each chapter that hints of Narutoesqe stuff will added, such as chakra and whatnot.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy
