"Hurry up Ichigo, the hollow is at your family home!"

"My house!?"

2 teens, in appearance, ran together as they rushed across the streeth. A very tall young man of 15 years old with a lean, lanky body and bright orange hair. He was wearing his school uniform, as was the girl who was calling out to him. Only she was starting to pull a glove on over her hand, getting ready for something.

-At the Kurosaki Clinic-

"Are you okay young man?"

"I'll be fine... where is this?" Naruto asked as he looked at the doctor who was stitching his arm up. He had a rather nasty gash on his arm that he hadn't noticed before, but the rest of his body that was burned up had already been bandaged. A tall and muscular, black haired, goateed man that seemed to be his doctor was working on him. "Sorry, I blacked out for a bit there, how long... what is all of this?" Naruto was confused about a lot of things.

He would guess it had been about 3 years since he had been around other humans, the most he had been around that were close would be humanoid shaped hollows. They wanted to take a bite of his flesh though, so it wasn't the same thing.

"I'm Kurosaki Isshin, this is my clinic. How did you even get like this?"

"I was attacked by this bastard hollow Kurama."

'Hollow huh... guess he doesn't realize most people don't know what hollows are.' Isshin took that explanation with a neutral face at first.

"What year is it?"

"2001."

"... I've been in that hollow world for... over 3 years now?" Naruto covered his mouth with his free hand in shock. It had been 1998 when he had been kidnapped, which meant he should be about 15 now. Over 3 years of his life had been ruined by Kurama. Isshin's eyes widened for a moment after he digested what Naruto had just said.

This boy survived in the world of hollows for 3 years?

There was no food at all there, and if he could see hollows and touch them, that meant that it was possible he had been surviving on a diet of hollows for all of that time. It was shocking, stunning even, that a young boy was put through such horrible treatment for such a long time.

'His body is strong, but malnurished. He should be about as tall as Ichigo, but he's only about... 165... 166 cm tall. These scars on his cheeks, they were caused by a zanpakuto... they cut right down to his soul I bet.' Isshin thought as he looked at the scars that ran across Naruto's cheeks. Perfectly even, and one of the scars was fresh. He could tell it was caused by a type of weapon he was familiar with.

Naruto's stomach growled.

"Hungry?"

"Yeah... you wouldn't happen to have ramen, would you... I haven't had any GOOD food in a long time." Naruto stated with a sorry grin. Isshin just smiled when he saw that grin, knowing that the boy at least was able to smile.

"I can fix you up a good ol' sammy, you like PB and J, or a grilled cheese?" Isshin asked as he finished stitching up Naruto's arm. The rest could wait, the boy's stomach was more important. "I don't know what these hollows are, but it seems like you had a wild dream." Isshin left Naruto alone to his thoughts.

Naruto sighed.

He wished it had been a dream, but the feeling of his throat burning like acid was poured down it was so fresh in his memories. The feeling of hollow blood flowing into his mouth was fresh, and the pain from his wounds didn't go away just because he wished it was a dream.

'Still, Kurama... I'm going to become stronger, and one day I'm going to devour you. Still, if I didn't learn about Hierro' Naruto thought as he opened and closed his fist a few times. He learned that some weird hollows had harder skin thanks to their high spirit energy. He just tried to imitate it by condensing his spirit energy in his skin, which seemed to increase his defensive abilities.

Isshin came back with food, and gave a sandwitch to Naruto.

"Ham and cheese, surprise."

Naruto ate it like a starving man all the same, and try as he might to stop it, tears did gather in his eyes when he got his first taste of real food in such a long time. It wasn't even his favorite food, but ANY food at all was good food to him.

Hollow.

Naruto sensed a hollow, he quickly finished off the sandwitch that he was given. Naruto reached up above his head, before he yanked down.

"Woah!?" Isshin jumped back in shock when a hollow mask appeared over Naruto's face. Naruto rushed towards the window and opened it up. He noticed a hollow he sensed was quickly making it's way towards his location. It wasn't Kurama or even close to Kurama's strength though, if anything he would guess that it was close to the strength of a slightly stronger than average hollow.

Naruto glared at the direction the hollow existed in.

Jumping out of the window, Naruto passed by a young boy that was wearing black clothes with bright orange hair.

With a flash of movement, Naruto was gone.

Naruto tackled the hollow out of the sky and towards the top of a building. Naruto's knees digging into it's back, before the two of them separated and started to tumble away from each other. Naruto jumped to his feet as the hollow recovered.

"Ah, it seems our little Hollow Eater noticed me, and I thought I was hiding from you. You escaped Kurama, that makes you fair game now. I've been waiting for this chance, and you're already pre-cooked." The Hollow spoke as he looked over Naruto's injured body. Naruto took his Hollow mask off and allowed it to disappear. To heighten his speed and power, he wore it, but now that he saw the level of his opponent, he didn't see the need to wear it much longer.

"I'll eat you."

"You would, if you weren't weakened by Kurama already." The Hollow pointed out.

Naruto punched the air in front of him and shot a small yellow ball at the Hollow, knocking it off of the building with a small explosion. Naruto chased after it and kicked it in the shoulder, knocking it off course. He sent several more small blasts at the Hollow, his knuckles starting to bleed from using the technique in his current state.

-At the Kurosaki Clinic-

"Ichigo, that was the Hollow! It seems like it... it's currently with another Hollow, come on, lets go." Rukia called out to Ichigo as he looked around.

"That thing was a Hollow, but it looked just like a teen, like me!?" Ichigo was shocked as he adjusted his sword on his back. He wasn't the greatest at sensing, but he had felt that boy had a really powerful feeling about him.

Rukia just started to run in the direction her pager told her to run.

Ichigo followed.

"The pager doesn't like, and it said that thing was a hollow... but it seems a lot less... hollow now for some reason... it's fluctuating in a weird way." Rukia couldn't really explain what was happening. Rukia jumped onto Ichigo's back, and he jumped on top of a building and just jumped straight forward while carrying her. That was what she usually wanted him to do when she jumped on top of his back.

They came across a strange sight.

As they travelled, they had seen some bright yellow flashes, but when they crossed the distance and got closer, they saw the image of a boy fighting a hollow with his fists. The hollow he was fighting had cracks running all along it's mask now, and one of it's arms were bent at a strange position.

"Please-"

"You came, you followed me, all to eat me! Well, guess what you Hollow bastard, I'm beat the absolute shit out of you for it! Guess you messed up when you decided to come after me!" Naruto shouted out as he kneed the hollow in the gut, knocking it into the air. Naruto followed up by slamming his hands into the top of the Hollow's mask and smashing the beast into the ground, chin first.

Naruto was furious.

Not even a full day being back in the human world, and he already had a hollow trying to eat him. Ruining the first real food he had eaten in so long, and disrupting the conversation he was having with another human. Usually he would just start to eat the hollow by now and get it done with, but this time he wanted to prove the point that the hollow had messed up. Naruto beat and cracked the monster's mask until half of it was shattered, and only then did he allow his fist to sink all the way into it's brain.

"That is not a Hollow." Ichigo stated as he pointed at Naruto.

"Why is this thing calling him a hollow?" Rukia actually agreed when she saw Naruto. He had no mask, which was weird because for a brief second she was sure she saw he had a mask earlier, and he was beaten a hollow to death. She wasn't blind, while he felt like a hollow, clearly he was human. He was bandaged up, but he was human all the same.

Naruto turned to face them.

"Ah... you're dressed funny." Naruto said the first thing that came to his mind when he looked at Ichigo. "... Ah... I ripped open my stitches... that's not great." Naruto realized he was bleeding through the bandages now. "I better go back to the clinic..." Naruto stated as he reached up above his head.

Ripping down, he summoned his Hollow mask.

Then he vanished in a burst of speed.

"What the hell!?" Ichigo shouted in shock, and Rukia did no better as she looked shocked at what she had just seen.

A human just donned a hollow mask!?

-At the Kurosaki Clinic-

"Heeeey... I'm losing a lot of blood... can you help me?" Naruto asked as he removed his mask, having used his Sonido to cross the distance between him and the clinic as fast as he could. Isshin nodded his head and helped Naruto to get back into the clinic.

Naruto's stomach growled again.

"Sure thing, and lets make sure you actually finish eating this time. You shouldn't have jumped out of the window like that randomly." Isshin pretended to not know why Naruto jumped out the window. He donned a goofy smile and just helped Naruto get back into the clinic.

It was only moments later though that a different man wearing a bucket shaped hat came into view.

"Actually Isshin, do you mind if I treat him back at my place? I feel like I have a lot to talk about him with?"

"Kisuke Urahara..."

"Isshin Kurosaki, we can both full name each other. But seriously, I think it would be better if this boy came with me. My facility is better suited to treating him." Kisuke had sensed Naruto come to this world, and even now he could feel the massive amounts of spirit energy the boy naturally gave off. It would only be a matter of time before things became difficult if Naruto didn't get to a location where his spirit energy didn't cause problems.

Isshin just nodded his head.

"Bleeding out... and what the hell is going on right now?"

"Don't worry about it Uzumaki Naruto, age 15, born October 10th, 15 years ago, and kidnapped by a Vasto Lorde level Hollow 3 years ago. Once you're all healed up, I'm sure we're going to have a lot to talk about."

"I don't even care who heals me as long as I don't die." Naruto didn't care who healed him.

He couldn't eat Kurama if he died from bloodloss.
