Don't own Naruto or Witchblade

Chapter 2

Family Reunion

In a clearing

An orange jumpsuit wearing blond with a dark haired girl in a pink kimono picking herbs as a phrase comes to mind.

"When someone has something important to protect," the girl informs him with a smile, "That's when they are truly strong."

Atop a roof overlooking the flooded portion of city

"That's when they are truly strong," Naruto mumbles to himself sadly as he lays on the roof slowly waking up in the light of mid day sun, "Where have a heard that before?" he ask himself sitting up yawning as he looks around, "Wasn't I in a jail cell last night?" Suddenly a red haired woman appears in his line of vision in rather revealing armor, "Masane?" He question as she vanishes to the wind, "Man what I got into yesterday?"

Standing Naruto walks to the edge of the building overlooking the makeshift docks, "Well I'm almost their?" he mutters looking out towards the tower in the distance, "Just need to get out…"

"AHHHH!!!!" a female screams as a yellow light shines from Naruto wrist.

"Someone's in trouble," Naruto shouts as the winds around him erupt around him causing his right arm getting covered in a gauntlet causing him to stare at it as it keeps forming more, "What the hell did I get into last night?" He shouts as a feeling to fight overcomes him. "Seems like some fun is here today," he says with a wide grin as he jumps to the scream.

In an alley not far away

"Someone help me," a well dressed women cries as a strange machine with a grabbling hook on in its mouth with mirrors.

"I want to make you warm," the machine shouts as he shoots out the hook at the women and snagging her by the waist, "Please let me make you warm."

"Someone help," the women screams as she feels herself dragged towards the monster, "Anyone pleases!!!" She cries as a small frog embroidered wallet falls to the ground

"Now I'll make you war….AHHHH!!!" the monster screams as hook's line is severed and the women is release.

"I don't think she needs your kind a warm," a transformed Naruto says smirking as the white liquid that now covers his blade, "but a toaster like you could be put to better use as spar parts."

"You," the creature yells charging at Naruto, "I'll make you so warm it you won't…." the creature tries to tell as he splits in half and Naruto appears behind it blade ready.

"I got a wife to keep me plenty warm toaster," Naruto informs turning to the women that has decided to run away, "Not even a thank you," he mutters walking towards the end of the alley changing back before catching glimpse of a small wallet that was dropped. "Hmmm," he hums to himself picking it up before going wide eyed, "This is Riko's wallet, she must be near by," he mentally screams as he runs into the day light to see Tokyo Tower in the distance. "She's already their…" Naruto says before heading towards the fairy ticket booth.

In an underground city

'They are looking for me,' Masane tells herself as she transforms as visions of Naruto and Riko enter her mind as she stares down the giant tank, 'I got to end this to go be with them,' she mentally cries as she licks her lips, as she mutters, "Come on," Before charging at it head on to get shot at by cannon shells.

Control room

"Truly the Witchblade is impressive Mr. Takayama," a man with glasses and a dark blue business suit on says as he watches the battle.

"Indeed it is," Takayama replies as he glances towards his assistant, "Any word on her husband or daughter, Segawa?"

"Well," Segawa replies adjusting his glasses, "Reports say the cell Naruto Amaha was being held in were destroyed by the unknown assailant it black arm with orangeish blond hair tan skin, and a bit of armor forming a spiraling leaf pattern sir."

"Is it possible for him to have a Witchblade or cloneblade," Takayama ask no one as he scratches his chin, "They can only be wielded by females though."

"We got no confirmations on his current location," Segawa adds calmly looking back to the monitor as the tank fires at a building trying to hit Masane.

"And the child," Takayama ask eyes ever leaving the monitor.

"She somehow gave the Children Welfare the slip and managed to stay below everyone's radar sense," Takayama answer calmly with a half smirk, "It almost like she was taught how to avoid detection."

"Well I am not surprised," Takayama tells Segawa as he watches Masane's moves as she fights, "This women who has no fighting experience is fighting quiet well at close range, almost as if she was taught to protect herself."

"Could the husband have something to do with it," Segawa suggest turning to his boss, "Or is it the Witchblade's doing?"

"Maybe a combination of both," Takayama adds as Masane comes down on her opponent and rather brutally rips it apart piece by piece, "Almost like she fights on instinct, but with the skills of someone who also uses her mind in battle too."

"Shall we start clean up," Segawa ask as he pulls out a cell phone.

"Yes," Takayama answers calmly walking out of the control room, "Also have her take her to the medical bay till she wakes up."

"Yes, sir," Segawa replies giving instructions over the phone.

'What happened six years ago to divide the power of the Witchblade,' Takayama ask himself as he walks into a long hall as he pulls out a bottle of water, 'What could this mean?'

Tokyo Tower

Riko sits under an over hang looking at the crowds of people go in and out of the tower, 'Where are they?' Riko ask herself mentally, 'They said they'd….' Suddenly a frog embroidered wall falls on her lap, "Huh my wallet?"

"I believe this is your Little Fox," a voice tells her as Riko's eyes go wide and looks to a near by tree to see Naruto sitting back with a smile on his face. "How you been Riko?" Naruto ask as he drops down out of the tree.

Tears start to well up in Riko's eyes as she runs towards him screaming, "DADDY!!!" before hugging him.

"It's alright Riko," Naruto comforts her as he leans down wrapping his arms around Riko's small frame, "I am sorry I had to so worry." As Riko cries she mutters something that gets Naruto's attention, "What was that honey?" he ask.

"No ramen for a week for making me worry," Riko tells him as his face falters as he looks at the child before him.

"But Riko," Naruto wines as Riko looks him in the eye with her best attempt at an evil glare, which in turns causes Naruto to fall over laughing before Riko jumps at him hugging him again and laughing with him, "Alright, alright I'll take it this one time promise."

Riko smiles and looks around before frowning, "Dad," she mutters as she looks him in the eye, "Where's mom?"

Naruto blinks a few seconds before replying, "She was with you the last I saw her," He answers curiously, "Why did something happen?"

"Child welfare caught us and separated us," Riko answers before looking away, "Mom came after me and got in an accident." Naruto's eyes widen as he watches his daughters eyes tear up.

"She's alright and looking for us now Riko," Naruto tells holding Riko close, "Just as I found you she'll find us."

"You mean it dad," Riko ask cheering up as Naruto pulls out a notepad from a hidden pocket of his coat.

"Yep," Naruto replies as he opens it up, "So till she gets here how about I read how far I've gotten in my story?"

"Alright," Riko replies happily as she sits in his lap as he begins to read.

"Once not long ago a dreaded beast attack the great Nation known as the Land of Fire," Naruto starts as Riko pays close attention, "With nine swaying tails that could cause Tsunami's and destroy mountains, the Kyuubi no Yoko, the demon nine tailed demon lord attacked the village hidden in the leaves…."

Unknown location

Waking Masane finds herself in a white walled room with white ceiling and a blue floor.

"Where the heck am I," Masane ask herself standing up as she stands up weakly as she looks around seeing a monitor on the far wall, "Hello!?!"

Suddenly Takayama appears on the screams looking at Masane, "Ahh your awake," he comments calmly hands crossed in front of him.

"Let me out of here," Masane shouts banging on the monitor.

"I have an offer for you Masane," Takayama tells her calmly ignoring her raging, "To have a living with your family," he finishes as Masane calms down a bit.

'A place for my family,' Masane thinks calming further as she thinks of Naruto and Riko, "Naruto, Riko…"

Several hours later

Standing atop a building overlooking an x-con attacking women a transformed Masane sighs as she makes her presence known causing the weapon to attack her by launching its grabbier that attaches around her waist.

"I'll make you warm," the weapon screams as light starts to shine from within the beast.

Looking bored Masane lets out another sigh as she mutters, "Sorry you just don't do it for me," before a quick slink and the creatures splits in half, 'Riko, Naruto where,' Suddenly she sees Tokyo tower in the distance and gives a small smile as a helicopter appears in front of her.

Tokyo Tower

"Dad," Riko mutters as Naruto stops writing in his notebook and looks at her, "Why did you choose to give the hero such a hard life?"

"Simple sweetie," Naruto says smiling as he close the notebook, "it is the trials of life that makes a person strong."

"Well I think that village is stupid," Riko mutters sadly crossing her arms over her chest, "He saves so many and tries so hard just to be shot down time after time."

Pulling Riko into a hug Naruto can only smile, "and that's why you are the sweetest little girl I know of Riko."

Suddenly a chopper lights appear above them as the sound of a door sliding open is heard and a voice calling out, "Riko, Naruto."

"MOM!!!," Riko cries as Naruto looks up at Masane in the chopper getting ready for something.

'She wouldn't,' Naruto thinks before jumping up as Masane jumps out of the chopper from at least 20 to 30 feet in the air, "She would," he mutters as he races to catch her before she hits the ground.

Masane only gives a goofy grin as Naruto holds her close bridal style, "Nice catch," she says with a small laugh.

"What will I do with you," Naruto mutters smiling back as he leans in his forehead against hers.

"I don't know, "Masane replies as she snuggles closer.

"Just kiss already," Riko shouts as the two look at her with a smile, as Naruto puts Masane down, "What are you two?" Riko tries to question before she is playfully tackled by Masane who pulls her in for a hug. Naruto looks to the chopper eyeing as it hovers before landing.

'What have you gotten yourself into Masane?' Naruto mentally questions as he watches someone step out of the chopper.

I tried keeping it as close to the episode as possible, so this is what I got.

I chose making Naruto write a story as a connection to his home and memories that come in and out as dreams when he sleeps.

Also I am still trying to find a way to save Shiori, but all I got is using Excalibur to absorb the excess power to save her.

Oh well let me know what you think, if you like it.
