XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 'Thanks old man.' Naruto thought as he stood up and dusted the mud off of his pants before beginning to walk in the direction where the others had gone, people would wonder why that direction but its kinda hard not to follow giant foot prints the size of a house.

'Dont worry guys, I'm coming and I'm on my way.'
XXXX
With the others

It was hard, it was hard not to cry anymore, the dark days had stopped and it was sunny, but it was still dark, without the bundling package of energy to smile it seemed like it might have been cloudy. Yoko just stayed in her room, Simon tinkered away at rocks and Kamina was... quiet, that in itself was enough to show everyone something was wrong if they didn't know it already. Till suddenly they all felt something, a burst of hope, power, something that made them feel like they were punching through their graves and Yoko, for the first time in a long time, smiled to herself as she looked down at a pendant Naruto gave her as a present.

'How I wish I could have told you Naruto, you were just too stubborn to listen.' Yoko said as one last tear dripped down her face and finally went to bed for the night.

Chapter 5: What exactly is a human?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In a dark hall three figures knelt before a throne in the shape of a spiral. Inside was a man, you couldn't tell much except for his ominous purple glowing eyes as they narrowed inn annoyance at the loss of one of his generals, the news just reached him. The thing that made him curious though was the fact that he was killed by a man, not even in a Gunmen. He asked for specifics and the only thing they could tell him was that he had incredible speed and killed the general with a ball of blue energy. The man waved the three figures away as he closed his eyes.

'It seems another Shinobi has entered my realm, I bet my life its an Uzumaki as well.' The man opened his eyes again as he stood up and started walking towards a door.

'I will not stand in a fight against a shinobi long in just my gunmen, its time for me to sharpen my skills.' The man thought as he headed towards his personal training area.

'I WILL be ready.'

With an ominous chuckle he disappeared to train in his abilities. While his laughter could be heard throughout the fortress the gurren brigade fortress held no laughter. It was gloomy with the loss of everyone's favorite blonde bundle of energy. Kamina had since recovered in the week that passed, but he was more quiet than usual. Simon was beating himself up for not taking control of the fortress sooner and Yoko... no one has seen Yoko since the incident, some thought she died in her room but Kamina put those thoughts to rest when he said he had visited her to make sure she was eating. Naruto himself was trying to catch up to the others using his kyuubi cloak mode but with his limited chakra and kyuubi's even more limited chakra he wasn't able to make it very far before he had to stop. He would have risked using Hirashin to get to Gurren but he knew the longer the distance the more chakra it would take and he knew he would probably die from chakra exhaustion. Naruto grumbled as he blurred passed the landscape, the rain was going on and off which actually helped the landscape to hopefully become greener but was hindering him with its slippery mud. He had tripped several times already because of it making him more and more annoyed from it. Naruto panted as he stopped by a small tree and released the Kyuubi cloak, his chakra sapped from him so he started hiking it on foot, he had the stamina and the hard hardheadedness, both thanks to his mother. He wouldn't go down so easily. Many foes had figured that out the hard way. Suddenly red chakra spiraled around him and he felt refreshed as his eyes turned red, his whisker marks more pronounced and his canine's lengthen. He had stored a great amount of the Kyuubi's normal chakra in a seal, almost 8 tails worth so he could use it on a later date, while his regular chakra cloak was great, it took GREAT amount of chakra to use. While the only hindrance to the regular chakra was the hate that came with it. Naruto seemed to just warp, moving time and space around him as his speed greatly increased when he pushed Kyuubi's red chakra into the ground and disappeared, hopefully catching up to the others. While he was doing that the group was stuck near a ravine, their engine went down and it was going to take time to repair. Rossiu was piloting a gunmen, training with its controls Simon and Kamina were standing beside their respective gunmen. Kamina smiling and Simon had a blank face as they watched the rain start to lessen outside. Something caught their eye and they turned their heads to see Yoko walking towards them. Dead look in her eye, rifle strapped to her back but a small smile on her face that didn't match the look in her eye.

"Hey guys, they said it was going to be awhile before we get moving." Yoko said quietly and Kamina nodded a bit before turning back to the outside.

"We guessed that."

There was silence for a moment till Kamina sighed and took Yoko's hand.

"Look Yoko he wouldn't want you to be like this."

Yoko's eyes twitched a moment as she grit her teeth in anger. She knew it was true but she hated talking about him.

"Please don't talk about him, please." Yoko said almost with a sob. Kamina was going to apologize when the alert siren came through the decks.

"Gunmen approaching!"

Thats all Kamina and Simon needed to hear before they were almost in their gunmen in a flash. Simon quickly jumped up and combined with Kamina before they were out the gate, running at top speed. They quickly ran into the enemy gunmen and made quick work of the gunmen except for one that delivered punch to Lagann sending it flying into the ravine. Kamina's eyes widened and quickly smashed the last gunmen before jumping after Lagann. Simon bounced and bounced, rolling and bouncing down the ravine till he finally came ot a stop and he stood Lagann up and was about to go up the ravine again till he saw hundreds of boxes. He hopped out of Lagann and walked over to one, it was slightly cracked and he tilted his noise till he heard a noise and saw a gunmen throw another one over the edge of the ravine, Simon watched it slide down the ravine and his eye twitched.

'I roll and bump but a box slides?'

Simon slowly walked over to it after it landed on a small hill. He got to the front of it and saw it needed a drill, much like Lagann's key. He looked at his necklace before pulling out the drill and cautiously put it in the slot. With a twist bright light filled the area before it cleared and he saw the top up and inside was a young girl seeming to sleep in the thing. Simon's eyes widened in horror as he looked around at all the other boxes.

'These aren't boxes, they are coffins.'

He heard stirring and turned to see the young girl's eyes awake and he was entranced by a pair of the most beautiful eyes. She sat up and tilted her head a bit as they stared at each other before smiling and holding out her hand.

"Hi, my name is Nia." She said and Simon took the hand and shook it gently.

"My name is Simon." Nia tilted her head again and looked to the side.

"Is that yours?" Nia asked and Simon turned around to see she was pointing at Lagann and he nodded.

"Its name is Lagann, bro should be coming any moment so come on." Nia nodded and hopped out of the box and started walking, looking around at everything curiously. A crash was heard as he helped Nia into the mech and he looked over and saw the gunmen that threw the coffin Nia was in standing by them. He quickly jumped into Lagann and put up the hood as he started running, he would have fought but he had a lady to think about. He started heading up the ravine but the mud kept slipping out from under him, making him slide back down, never getting anywhere. Mud caked the mechs legs as it ran towards a slightly less muddy spot. Before he could make it though a large crash was heard. He turned and saw Gurren smashing the gunmen to pieces. Simon sighed in relief before walking over to Gurren.

"Hey bro, good time you got here!"

"Why were you running simon!? You could have taken him!"

"I know I could have but I had other things to think about."

Before Kamina could respond the top of Lagann went down to show Nia looking at Gurren curiously, effectively shutting Kamina up. Kamina nodded after a bit, picked Lagann up and started trudging up the side of the ravine. They arrived at the fortress as Lagann hopped down and walked into the hanger followed by Gurren. Yoko ran up to Simon, hugged him then slapped him and chewed his ears out for being so reckless. Of course after about 5 minutes of that she noticed the girl standing by them staring curiously at Yoko, well mainly her pendant which made her tuck it in between her breasts.

"Thats a pretty pendant, where did you get it?" Nia asked and Kamina and Simon stiffened, the pendant was a taboo conversation. Truth be told it was very beautiful, a ruby fox curled around a sapphire blue orb with a green crystal in the center. The crystal itself was the left over pieces of Tsunade's crystals and it added glimmer as well as value. Yoko narrowed her eyes a little.

"I got it from a dear ... friend of mine..." Yoko said and Nia tilted her head.

"Can I meet this friend?" Yoko let a single tear fall before she turned on her heel and walked away as Kamina shook his head.

"He died a few days ago, was killed by a gunmen while saving my life" He said seriously, totally unlike himself as Simon looked at the ground as shame washed over his heart. Nia looked at the ground after a moment.

"I'm sorry, I must have brought up bad memories..."

"Its alright... though that necklace was given to her by him, they loved each other even if the other didn't know it..." Kamina said as he watched where Yoko walked off to a moment ago.

"If they loved each other than why did they not know?"

"Well, Naruto was all about the job, he took things seriously except when there was no fighting to be done, even then he managed to put a smile on everyone's faces... and Yoko, well I have no idea why she didn't tell him, it would have made it easier on both of them if one or the other said it... though too late now." Kamina said with a sigh and Simon nodded slowly as Nia watched Kamina closely.

"Was he blonde?"

"Ya actually he was."

Nia nodded as a flashback of her father talking about a blonde with incredible power. After a bit of silence they decided to show Nia around, turning back to their old personalities, a little more serious but themselves non the less. Though some of the crew were a little suspicious of her they just shrugged their shoulders and went back to working on Dai-Gurren. As they were introducing everyone Naruto was staggering towards what seemed like a mountain, but he knew that it was two square shaped to be a mountain and he gasped for breath, he hadn't slept in days, his chakra wouldn't regenerate and he couldn't risk anymore of Kyuubi's chakra encase he got into a fight. Naruto grit his teeth as he kept running/stumbling towards the giant gunmen when his eyes caught something. A large gunmen headed towards the mammoth of metal. Naruto knew they were about to be attacked and started moving faster to catch up. He saw the massive metal creature attack the fortress and he risked it, he pumped kyuubi's chakra into his feet and disappeared in a flash of orange. All you could see was a streak as he headed towards them as he felt hatred boiling over him. He could use the Kyuubi's chakra easily, the problem was over use will make him loose control easier. Right as its pincer was about to hit a girl Naruto appeared above it with a giant red rasengan making everyone's eyes widen before he smashed it into the gunmens head sending it flying off. As the smoke cleared Naruto was seen clutching his stomach as he coughed up a bit of blood, the wound from before reopening slightly as he looked up at the girl and smiled.

"Yo." With that Naruto promptly passed out, his vision locking onto a bobbing head of hair and tear filled eyes that he had come to love days ago.

'Yoko...'

Several hours passed as Naruto woke up in chains. He glanced around and stretched, snapping the chains as he chuckled.

'At least they are cautious.'

Naruto yawned as he saw he only had his shirt and pants on and he blinked.

"Damn, they took my swords." Naruto grumbled and in a puff of smoke Naruto had two more swords strapped to his back and a cloak behind him.

"Mhmm." Naruto walked over to the door and saw it could only be opened from the outside. Naruto sighed and closed his eyes as he made a clone appear on the outside, unbolt the door and it dispersed. Normally he would have made the clone henge into someone like Viral or someone just to mess with their heads but when you died, and they think your a spy that would make things worse. Naruto stretched a little as he walked out of the door, closed it and re-bolted it before walking off down the halls, simply wandering before he came across an engineer.

"Hey you mind tell me where Yoko, Simon and Kamina are?"

"Their in the meeting room discussing something." He said without turning away from his work. Naruto quickly said thanks before walking off to find the meeting room. After what seemed like an hour of searching Naruto just shook his head, used Jariya's chameleon jutsu to turn completely invisible and flashed to the Hirashin seal on Yoko's pendant. Sure enough they were all arguing whether he was real or not with other members of the crew. His things laying on the table obviously for evidence as he listened to them argue with the three about 'how he was a spy' and 'how he couldn't be alive' Naruto yawned a bit as he leaned against a wall, simply listening to them till he got bored and threw a kunai into the middle of the table. Instantly everyone tensed as they looked at the Kunai. In a flash of yellow Naruto appeared in the center of the table as his eyes twitched.

"Those are my things you know." Naruto said rather boredly as he picked up his swords, pouches and cloak before he dodged a punch from Yoko who was openly crying.

"Hey want me to give my side of the story before you think I abonded you?" Naruto said and everyone thought of it for a moment before nodding.

"Alrighty then, I died. Simple as that." Naruto said with a cheeky grin.

"Then, I came back to life, how could you guys not get that?" Naruto said as he cleaned out his ear for a moment as everyone face faulted except for Nia and Yoko, the latter glaring at him slightly.

"Alright heres the full story, the last thing I remember was getting pierced through the chest and stomach saving this buffoons life." Naruto said as he pointed at Kamina. "Then the next moment I'm suffocating in a box, I break out and I'm swamped by dirt, I crawl out and after a bit of figuring out what happened I started running after you guys in the damn rain, by the way thanks for not slowing down." Naruto said with a pout making everyone sweat drop.

"Damn almost killed myself trying to catch up to you guys." He said as he jumped off the table to dodge another punch from Yoko.

"Hey, whats with you?" Naruto said and Yoko was about to scream before he grabbed her and disappeared. He arrived in a bathroom he had found on his way to find the meeting room and before she could say anything pressed his lips to hers. She tried to resist as tears fell from her eyes before she gradually stopped and seemed to melt into his arms. When he finished he brushed a bang from her face and smiled down at her.

"I know you like Kamina and all but can't blame a g-" He was quickly slapped across the face before Yoko grabbed his collar and pulled him to eye level.

"I don't like Kamina, I don't love him, I kissed him because I wanted to see something, I wanted to see if I care for him or if I cared for a blonde idiot." Yoko said before smashing her lips against his.

'His kiss is so sweet, lovely, amazing, I feel like my knees are going week.' Not wanting to be shown up Naruto returned the kiss full force. They pulled away slowly as they panted, a small trail of saliva connected to both of their mouths as Naruto looked at her in the eyes, fear in his eyes as he gulped a little.

"Yoko-hime, I-I need to tell you something... about myself." Yoko nodded a little before sitting down on the toilet seat.

"I'm not going to sugarcoat it, and I will understand if you don't like me afterwards..." 'It will still hurt like hell though' "Back in my village, we had things called Bijuu, tailed beasts or demons. Made of living energy and unable to be killed. So they had to be sealed, on my birth day the strongest demon attacked my village, killing thousands of innocent people. It had to be sealed into a infant who was just recently born. My father sealed that demon into me." Naruto said quietly as he looked in her eyes, fearing her reacting. After a bit she closed her eyes and stood up.

"Your right, I don't like you... I never did." You could practically hear the crack Naruto's heart made as he turned to exit the room before a hand grabbed his and turned him around.

"I LOVE you Naruto-kun" She said and gently kissed him making his heart flutter, he had tears spilling from his eyes as he wrapped his arms around her and held her tight to him, almost as if he let go she would disappear in the wind. It was now about a week since that moment and Naruto was laying down on the beach. Yawning as his arm was wrapped around Yoko while the men made googly eyes at Nia. He smiled at the sky, his life had changed so much since the clash with Sasuke. He wondered how everyone was doing. How they reacted when they found out he disappeared, vanished, poof. Would they be proud of him? Would they congratulate him on winning the heart of the red haired beauty? He wanted to go back... but he wanted to stay with his friends. It was a hard choice and Yoko noticed his face.

"Naruto-kun, something wrong?" Yoko asked and Naruto sighed, they had agreed when they first started out that they wouldn't hide anything from the other.

"I was just thinking of my home, what I'm going to do..." Naruto said quietly and Yoko looked at the ground.

"Your leaving us?" Naruto shook his head and took her hand.

"IF I can't take you, Kamina, Simon and anyone else you want to bring along then no I won't, it may be my home, but my heart and soul belong to you and you know what they say, home is where the heart is." Naruto said with a soft smile making her smile back and place her head on his shoulder.

"If you find a way back, I will follow Naruto." Yoko said softly and he kissed her forehead before looking up at the clouds. After a bit he closed his eyes and fell asleep, he had been falling asleep more lately since his chakra reserves were still filling. Kurama and him talked a bit about how to get back home, and the only thing they could think of was the Uzumaki that was here, they needed him alive to gain knowledge about dimensional plains. It was possible since he was here longer and obviously studied on it. If he couldn't help, then there was no point in trying really. Something told him though he should stay after this was over, not for personal reasons just that when this was over... it wouldn't be over. Naruto awoke to the sounds of cheering and turned to see everyone playing beach games with Yoko sleeping peacefully beside him. Naruto smiled at her sleeping form, her hair almost looking like a halo as her face was one of sincere peace. Naruto could stare at her forever but decided to get up as he saw Ron getting done with the finishing touches to the Dai-Gurren. Only real changes was a large paddle and flippers. Naruto chuckled before shaking his head and shaking Yoko awake who gave a small yawn and smiled with a half lidded eyes.

"Hey there."

"Hey." Naruto smiled at her as he helped her to her feet and they walked side by side to the fortress, while they were together no one even knew except for Ron, who was smart enough to guess just from their glances... well as well as holding hands and sneaking kisses hopefully unnoticed by everyone. It was like they were in a desert and were constantly thirsty for the other, and when they don't get there fill it almost made them go crazy when they waited to long. Of course Naruto had the excuse of not being loved, even after the war was over most just admired him for his strength or for his father, no one even really bothered to get to now him. Now with true love in his grasp his heart and soul was milking it, wanting all they could get in the dry wasteland. Naruto's mindscape also improved drastically, the smell of lilies fluttered around, the grass seemed to be greener, and the world fresher. The sage was getting plenty of sleep to recover his chakra, normally it would have been a snap to bring Naruto back but since he was technically dead, his body gone it took more out of him then he thought. Naruto mused a bit about the ability the sage told him about, the Banbutsu sozo, creation of all things. He had dabbled a little in it and it took a massive amount of chakra, which he had, and a almost unbreakable concentration, which he didn't have. Sure he trained to be calm and collected, he could concentrate on some of his jutsu but he didn't have such a vast imagination. As he mused to himself he finally noticed that Yoko was absent from his vicinity and shrugged a little. Naruto smiled bit as, in a puff of smoke, a guitar appeared out of a seal. It was his fathers who dabbled into the art of music wanting to romance his mother, didn't work out well but they fell harder for each other anyways from just the attempt. They knew of Naruto's ability to make clones so the ones who saw several Naruto's appeared just shrugged and went back to what they were doing. Naruto strummed on the guitar ginign the attention of several people before he began singing.

Naruto smiled to himself during the whole song as he cheered people up with the fast paced song, several dancing as he sang. He was glad to help out because it was starting to weigh on everyone that they were getting closer to their target, to the spiral king. He felt a pair of arms wrap around him and turned to see Yoko looking up at him with a smile and he smiled back before he leaned down, capturing her lips in a loving kiss that she gratefully returned, bringing their relationship out in the open just like that.
