Hollow Fox Naruto

A Lie and an Apology

The other girls looked at Naruto.

"Come to think of it. What are your stories Naruto, Nel?" Tatsuki asked. "I mean, you just drop out of the blue. And no one knows a thing about you two." Tatsuki finished.

Naruto thought about that. He knew this would come up so he thought had thought about a lie for the both of them. He inwardly smiled. "Well, our parents were friends when they were our age. Both of our parents were. They got married had us, and we were friends since we were 5 years old. We grew up together." Naruto looked sad and sighed. "Then, when we were 13, we were in a car crash with a drunk driver.... our parents were killed leaving us behind. But we stuck together to get over our loss. And together we managed to." He told them a lie. A rather convincing one.

Both Orihime and Tatsuki cried for them. It was sad to tell a lie to both Tatsuki and Orihime. But it was better than the truth that they had. It was the week soon so he had time to find Yoruichi. He would search for her then. But for now, he would enjoy the special dinner that Orihime made just for today. Although, everyone would consider it special if they weren't use to it.

The following weekend Naruto went on the hunt for Yoruichi, wanting to say he was sorry for what he did to her. He would always regret his bloody past. But there was nothing to do about it. It was set in stone and nothing could change it. He followed her spirit energy. It was hard to follow. She was good at hiding it. Add that to the fact he always sucked at stuff like this, and you have a hell of a problem finding her. Then let's add that he is in his spirit form so he is at risk of being spotted by the soul society place. Just one problem after another. He sighed. He knew this wasn't going to be easy. But he sure as hell didn't think it was going to be so hard. Naruto had just about given up when he felt her spirit energy spike for a moment. Most likely from transforming into her human form. Not wanting to waste his opportunity he honed in on the place where he felt it. He came to a ware house near the edge of the city. Seemed to be abandoned for some time now. He went inside to search for her, not wanting to waste this chance. He walked in and found nothing and no one. He was sure that she was here. Then what looked like a big trap door opened up. Naruto looked at it with a hint of suspicion. I mean, it's not every day that a door opens up near you in a place that screams 'danger'. Regardless Naruto went in. What he found surprised him. It was the training field that Kisuke has.

"Greetings Naruto..." Naruto heard Yoruichi's voice. "...I thought you'd come." He voice didn't sound angry of hateful. It was full of, and her smirk, evil intentions. But not real evil. The kind of evil a women is capable of when she is not about to kill you. "Now then... are you ready?" She said with as much evil as she could. As about 8 other strange looking people came into his view. One with a very creepy smile.

(With Nel)

"That's strange?" Nel said out loud.

"What is?" Orihime asked.

"Well, I just thought that Naruto was in trouble, but it must be my imagination." She said getting back to her dinner. Happily eating with Orihime.

(Back with Naruto)

All around Naruto was the bodies of the beaten up people that were the Vizard. Or so Naruto thought. Naruto had beaten all of them. But they were thought.

Yoruichi hopped down to him.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry."

Yoruichi walked up to him.

*BANG*

Naruto was on the floor holding his groin in pain. While Yoruichi was hopping around holding her foot.

"That hurt!" Yoruichi yelled.

"That's my line!" Naruto said rolling around.

"What the hell did I just kicked!" She yelled.

Naruto managed to smile as he smiled. "My balls of steel." Naruto and Yoruichi laughed a bit.

After a time of healing needed for both of them. Naruto sat next to Yoruichi on a rock.

"I am really sorry... Yoruichi. I knew my bloody past would come back to haunt me. He got on his hands and knees next to her and placed his head on the ground. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

She looked at him. He was apologizing whole heartedly. She could feel the regret come off him.

She tapped him on the shoulder to get up. He did. She then hugged him. "Me kicking you in the groin what my way of saying, apology accepted."

Naruto sighed in relief. 'I hope I don't have to say I'm sorry again.' He thought to himself.
