The Fox Spirit and The God of Yin

Ch.9 I Never Forgot You

He could hear the doors slam open behind him and her heavy breathing.

"Where is he!?" She yelled. Naruto turned around and saw a lady with long red hair standing with her hands holding on to the frame of the door for support. Her dress was light green with yellow detailing. She was out of breathe, hair a bit messy and had a fierce look in her eyes.

That look quickly changed as she saw the boy in front of her.

"Mother?"

The blonde boy blurted out. She stared at him in confusion and awe. He then realized that she probably doesn't recognize him yet even if he did. He quickly began to introduce himself.

"Oh, uh you probably don't recognize me. It was a long time ago, almost 200 years but I'm-." 

"My darling Naruto."

Those words brought tears in his eyes as it did for the other. 'Damn it!' He cursed himself for crying again when there was nothing to cry for he should be happy and of course he was. 

He started walking closer to her and so did the red haired women. There steps felt slow but quickly picked up the pace. They found them selves in a warm embrace. There arms wrapped around each other not wanting to let go.

"I never forgot you." He said hugging her tightly. What she heard confirmed the fact that it was really him. He was her son.

"I've missed you, my dear Naruto." She cried.

"I've missed you too."

They parted from the hug and she grabbed his face and stared at him. Tears still dripping down and the smiles spread on there face, wiped his tears with her thumbs.

"Oh look at how you've grown! Your such a handsome young man!"

Naruto's face lit up. He has received compliments before but the ones he got now meant more to him then any of the others ever would. 

"Really!" He said. The blonde was so happy you could see the sparkles in his eyes. His mother nodded her head.

"I see you both have finally met each other." A most familiar voice said. They both turned there heads to see a man with a smug face, leaning against the door.

"Minato!"  "Father!" They both exclaimed as they run up to him. He hugged both of them and smiled.

"I finally have my whole family together." He sighed and held the two closer. At that moment Naruto felt happy, it felt like he had a family now but still it didn't feel complete. Sakura popped in his mind and he started miss her again.

"Did you see?! Did you see Minato! It's our son!" She said frantically tugging at her husbands shirt. He's chuckled.

"Yes yes, I do." 

"Did you treat him good while I was gone? You didn't scare him did you?" She said with concern. He furrowed his eyebrows and crossed his arms.

"What is that supposed to mean?" He pouted. She giggled and waved it off.

"Any way, sorry I came so late. I tried coming back sooner but I was caught up with something. I would have been here by yesterday night but there was this girl in the forest alone I didn't want to leave her there."
