Chapter One: Saying Dying Goodbyes and Living A New Life
The battle at the Valley of the end, the waterfall where once two powerful men, two legendary hokages of Kohona fought long ago, was battered down to the last rumble. Only two others stood facing each other, ready to deal the final blow to finish it all. It had been going on for as long as anyone could imagine if they were to watch the glorious battle between the two. This was one of many where there were no rules to oblige, no disruptions, only death would be the conqueror of one while one left alive was left to stay.
It was finally coming to an end…
They were both drain of charka and at their last bit of strength that they had left at their disposal. The only thing that seems to keep them going was their will to fight. But that didn't last long for one of them as the final attack got to him.
Naruto was floating gently in the water, his body having taken a full impact from the Chidori. He lied unconscious and Sasuke stood over the still form of his closest friend.
'I guess this is it. This is how it's going to end.'
Naruto knew he had lost, big time. He couldn't move and he had no more chakra to go on. The only thing he could do was harbor another breath into his chest into his slow beating heart which was becoming harder to do with each passing second.
But he would not give up. He could not without trying to do what he had come to do in the first place since this mission started. Naruto willed his body, mustering some strength to stand but fell backwards onto the hard ground.
Sasuke stared at his longtime rival, his face blank of all emotions except his eyes were saying different to see his foe trying to get up then fall back down and not getting up again.
He had won, once again. The great Uchiha won, but it was an empty victory.
Naruto, the dobe, the loudmouth obnoxious boy who never gave up but looked past on going down for the count. The boy who kept on smiling and showing an unending fire within those deep blue orbs.
Don't get up…just stay down and don't get up you Dobe! Sasuke felt these thoughts running in his head. This was to be the final match between himself and Naruto.
That last Chidori he used had completely depleted him of his chakra completely. His second stage of the cursed seal on his neck was deactivated even the sharingan was inactive. He walked over to the blond-haired boy and stared down at him. He gripped the kunai in his hand, his knuckles turning white.
Just don't move, don't breath anymore. Just laid there still and please just leave me…Naruto was barely able to move or feel anything around him as he was losing his own battle now. His body was growing cold and felt it becoming numb. His vision was still with him but he felt the closing darkness circling within his sight. It would be dark all together very soon he thought. He saw Sasuke approaching, holding a kunai ready in his grasp.
Sasuke looked down at him and with his eyes shimmering the hate and sadness and pain asked, "Why, Naruto, why do you always have to give me trouble you idiot? You stupid dobe, you always are too loud and annoying and you always get in my way somehow. So why! Why do you waste your time, your effort, and your stupid goddamn self to try and help me when I don't ask for it? Don't you know that I can't stand you when you get in my way!"
Naruto could barely hear the words coming from Sasuke's mouth but he saw the way he moved his lips. As well did he see within his eyes, those same eyes that he use to have when he had bare with the loneliness and hate from others. Loneliness, they were both the same in ways unimaginable even if one's family was gone while the other knew none about but still they knew about the pain of what it was like to be only yourself against everything around them.
Naruto gave one smile to the dark-haired Uchiha. "Sasuke…" A sad smile, a real smile this time, past all the other smiles he had show in the past. At first it startled the Uchiha right to his soul and almost caught him off guard. But that was to be a sign of weakness. Weakness was left for the weak and avengers were never weak!
He didn't let his cold glare change, instead it double his anger and glower down at the dying boy.
"Why did you risk your life? Don't you understand, I'm an avenger and I have to seek vengeance on my brother? I need to become stronger than him in order to win, but why do you constantly have to be a nuisance to me dobe! You stupid goddamn dobe of an idiot!" He continues to spew insults down at the boy and Naruto just seem to take them without trying to defend himself. This made Sasuke even more furious and he lowered the blade towards Naruto's throat, holding it in place, his hands shaking with unholy rage. "You're nothing, nothing at all! What is there that I should be having to listen to the likes of you to make me change my mind!"
Naruto was looking up at him with teary eyes, fresh streaks down his cheeks. Had he been crying this whole time? Sasuke was too blind by his own anger to see the tears falling from this boy. Naruto's throat moved slowly up and down towards the blade, a thin spot of blood appeared but he didn't feel the pain as he said what Sasuke needed to hear from him, his only friend and rival.
"Because, you need to know…Sasuke…you're not alone. You're not alone…to feel for the loss without a family, without someone to care for you…everyone does, Iruka sensei, Kakashi sensei, the people in the village…you don't have to think that way…Sasuke everyone loves you…cares for you, but not for me…not for this demon…" His eyes were looking sadly away from him as he spoke. His body was feeling stiffer and he knew he didn't have much time left. He took a couple small breaths before speaking once again to him.
"Sasuke…" His eyes once again focused on him, the sky blue ones that stared right into Sasuke's ebony ones. "Return to the village…don't let your anger be your own undoing…go back, people will forgive you…I know…I did…Sasuke as a friend…please…" Naruto managed one last fox smile that he showed many times in his life but the illusion was shatter and Sasuke didn't have to use his Sharingan to see through that to know Naruto was hurting inside. He tried to move but his charka already gone and soon he himself without any energy or time left to recover from his injuries.
Now death seem to be the only thing left for him…it would only take a few minutes before he left this world.
Naruto coughed and Sasuke saw the blood he spat out as he lowered the kunai and reached with one trembling hand to wipe it from the boy's lips. The same lips he had accidentally kissed back in the academy on the day of orientation for their teams, the team they were paired in together.
How long ago was that? He noticed how Naruto was saying something but could barely hear it coming from him. His voice sounded too quiet compared to the one Sasuke usually heard. He kneeled down and lifted the boy up gently in his arms to not cause any more pain on him.
Pain, Naruto had much more pain to deal with in his life, in his past. Sasuke knew but he never considered it much until right now. Naruto grew up without a mother, father, siblings or any other relatives.
Nobody in the village cared about him, all that Sasuke had seen or heard were the cold glares and silent whispered between the adults. His parents had been like the others and he had followed suit behind them unknowingly as to why they were so cold to the boy. He wished he had known what it was until Naruto became a ninja and ranked himself on an upper level to excel almost over him.
It was strange at the beginning when they were paired together. Naruto was the only other person to ever come to his life to make him feel different, almost alive somehow, the one who knew more of the pain and had to deal with than what any others could imagine if only they knew what Naruto had to go through his whole life. Naruto had made it through with bright smiles and determined will to becoming the best of the best for to prove he was going to become the hokage and gain everyone's respect. But as
Sasuke held onto Naruto, trying to give him the warmth he needed to his cold body as Sasuke tried to hear the dying words coming from him. He thought of never letting Naruto go until he had heard what he wanted to say.
"Naruto hey, what are you saying I can't hear what you're saying? You have to speak louder to let me hear ok?" He leans closer to his face and hear him softly whisper in his ear. It almost sounded softly like the wind. His last breath he held beating within his chest.
"I wished…I wish things had been different …that someone…was there…to love me… me Naruto…Just see beyond my mask, the falsehood and illusion I carried and know the truth about Naruto Uzumaki…Sasuke I-I…" The words stopped as the boy in Sasuke's arms become limp and Naruto breath his last breath. Sasuke looked once more at Naruto, seeing the boy closed his beautiful sky-blue eyes, never to open them again.
"Dobe…Naruto…Naruto c'mon. C'mon say what you wanted to say…tell me what you wanted to say. Naruto please don't go, please don't leave…Naruto don't leave me!" He couldn't stop the tears that were already falling from his eyes as they dropped down onto the whiskered cheeks of Naruto. He had promised himself not to cry again, never to do so after the slaughter of his family, his love ones. Already his promised had broken because of the one person he cared so much but found out too late how important he was to him.
Naruto…I need you, I need you more than anything else, I…I love you… Soon more tears kept falling and then the sky above darkens and rain fell down upon the two. His heart felt tight as he brought the boy close to his arms in a tight embrace, trying to find some way to resurrect him, just to let him go by for another minute or so until someone found them.
Somebody to help bring Naruto back for Sasuke, for him to hold the one person he felt give him light in his darkness. The one he truly loved in his life.
Kakashi and Pakkun arrived in the clearing in time to feel the droplets of water raining down on him as he saw Sasuke hugging Naruto to his chest, crying tears and said over the pouring rain, "NARUTO!"
Kakashi looked sadly down to the ground. He had been too late and already one of his students lost their life.
I'm sorry Yondaime I failed you once again. I lost another important person beside you and Obito. I lost your son. I'm sorry…
Naruto was in the dark catacomb again. The same dank corridors where he had come for the first time to meet 'IT', the demon sealed within his own body.
Kyuubi.
Kyuubi, the Kitsune youkai that had ruined and gained him a life, a purpose to become what he wanted since he was young, a ninja even to go further to becoming the next Hokage.
But I guess you can't get everything you want huh?
Now here they were to die together as they had been seal together when Naruto was an infant on the day the demon attacked the village.
Naruto edge closer to the cage where he saw the massive fox growling within its prison.
"SO THIS IS IT, THIS IS HOW IT ENDS? YOU JUST PLAN TO GIVE UP THAT EASILY AND DIE WITHOUT FIGHTING BACK! HOW TYPICAL YOU MORTALS ARE! TO THROW THE TOWEL AND JUST ROT!"
"Urusai well at least I'm not going alone that's for sure fox." He said glaring at the demon as it glared back down at him. It only last a minute before the boy's eyes soften and then looked at the fox with pity. "But there's something I want to tell you before we die. I know that I shouldn't feel like this for you since you are a demon and you did try to destroy the village, but I'm sorry. I don't know why but I do, more for you to end up within me. Sorry it had to end this way for us. If only we got to know each other before all this happen. If only we had lived someplace where you and I could start over and be at a better understanding. I would want to become your friend even if you wouldn't want to but I do just for these last few moments before we go…"
Kyuubi stared in shocked and confusion at the blond boy. Friends, he wanted her, a demon to become her friend. Why would he be willing to become friends with a demon if she was the one to blame for all the bad misfortune in his life? For all his misery and pain that he suffered because of her residing inside him.
"WHAT MAKES YOU THINK A BRAT LIKE YOU THINK YOU COULD BECOME FRIENDS WITH ME!"
"Because I think I can see how lonely you are, I can hear it in your voice at times. I can feel it when you are angry. I want to become more your friend than just a holder to you as you think me as just a prison gatekeeper. If a demon can see it that way, I would try everything in my power to do so…now Kyuubi I'm getting tired, so tired, I just want to rest now…"
Naruto walked over and lean himself against the bar, lying himself open for Kyuubi to strike if she wanted with her giant paws.
Kyuubi saw the boy's innocence, the life once deprived of him because of his sealing of this demon, yet he tries to push over the limit to prove he could become something other than what people saw him to be.
Even if people saw you as me, you were never were really me at all and I had taken all chances of your happiness and life for what I done…
Kyuubi for the first time felt sorrow towards him. The boy who gave everything, even his life to make himself acknowledge by others.
Slowly she reached outside the bars and brought the boy through, holding him close to her body and cuddle close, wrapping around to let the boy rest like a mother to her own kit. In a way she was like the only mother he would have now.
Naruto…she could feel his soul becoming lighter and lighter as she held him, she could feel it happening to herself as well.
This boy wanted to live a life that he would feel special…and Kyuubi knew one spell, one incantation to allowed them to find a new life out somewhere.
She raised all nine of her tails in the air and started swaying them back and forth, back and forth, saying in an unknown language that only a demon would understand as strange particles of light enter within this chamber.
Her tails started going faster and faster, the light becoming stronger and Naruto slowly open his eyes as he saw the room becoming brighter and looked to see Kyuubi saying something.
"Kyuubi what's going on, what's happening?" But before the demon could speak, the light started to change and then burst into an explosion of rainbow in front of Naruto's eyes and then disappearing, along with both him and Kyuubi from their long dark home to a new world where it was filled with light for them both.
On a small beach called Besaid Island, home to lady Summoner Yuna, heroine to save Spira from Sin and again from the massive destruction of Venagun, was in a most terrible challenge ever to come across this brave woman.
"Come on Yuna, keep pushing. You're almost there, keep breathing, I can almost see the head." Lula said giving the young girl confidant words as she helped her 'sister' through the labor.
Rikku and Paine were there too, helping as Rikku was cleaning the sweat off her brow while Paine was fetching the water and more towels. Sure there were other attendants to help but her friends were giving her all the get-up and go spirit to keep going, to get her first child through.
If only Tidus could come in and help. But temple rules and the attendants had pushed him out.
"Can you believe this? I wanted to go in and they tell me to stay outside so not to cause distraction. Distraction, what kind of distraction would I be doing beside try to help my wife out with our kid!" Tidus and Wakka waited outside the Temple and sat down on the steps. Everyone was out here waiting. Gippal, Baralai, Nooj, Leblanc and her two goons, Logos and Ormi, Kimari, and a whole lot of people were waiting outside the temple that they had met over their travel about four years ago.
Tidus placed his head between his legs and gave a long sigh, how long would it be before he was even allowed to see his wife and his kid? It was driving him up the wall with worry. This waiting was making him feel tense as he was without even knowing what was going on, how Yuna was doing and their child was? Wakka, the retired Besaid Auroch team, patted Tidus on the back.
"Cheer up ya, it's only gonna be a couple more hours until Yuna gives birth to the babe. Chill ya? Want to rush into parenthood already? I mean Lula and me with little Vidina, well we had some rough bumps and such but I guess once you put your mind to it, it becomes a joy raising your kiddo, especially when one day they become star players for blitzball ya?" He turned and looked behind him before grinning to Tidus. "Oh here comes one of the priestess! Good news I think from the way she smilin'."
A young priestess bowed to the two and said in a loud voice for everyone to hear, "Young master Tidus, lady Yuna has given birth to a healthy young girl. You may go and see her now."
Finally Tidus thought as he turned to see Wakka following him inside the temple along with a few other people while everyone celebrated outside of the birth of his and Yuna's first child. He headed to the room where a lot of priests and priestesses were crowding in to see the lady summoner. Paine and Rikku seem to be trying to block that crowd and keep them out.
"Ok, she fine, both baby and her are fine, move it, let her relax geez, she gone through a five hour labor and you don't give her time to take a breather. Geez are you people or are you fiends!"
She saw Tidus' blond head pushing through the crowd and said pointing behind to the room they were guarding, "Go and see her, she wants to see you very much, so hurry up daddy!" She teased as Tidus stepped inside the room where Yuna laid on a bunch of pillows to lean up while holding the white bundle in her arms.
"Hey…" Yuna looked up. "Hey to you too, glad you came. C'mere Tidus, come and see your newborn daughter." Tidus walked over and stared down at the smiling girl cooing up at him.
She had golden blond hair, a little dark on the roots, light skin and the mismatched eyes of one sky blue like Tidus and one jade green with a spiral in her other eye like her mother's. The strangest thing he noticed was the three-line whisker marks across each cheek.
"Yuna why does she have…" He pointed to his face, indicating the marks. Yuna shrugged, "I don't know Tidus, but me and the others saw this strange thing too besides these."
She pulled the blanket aside the baby and revealed the strange spiral marking on the child's stomach. Tidus touched it and for a moment felt something crawled up his arm and pulled back.
Whoa, that was totally weird. "What do you think it is? Do you think that it's just a birthmark or something?"
"I'm not sure, but still, it doesn't matter, I don't care if she has a couple birthmarks or not, she's our child. Our little girl."
"Yeah you're right." He patted his daughter's head and watched as she laughed. "So what did you named her?"
"Strangely enough I wanted to call her… Naruya. It doesn't sound bad does it?"
Tidus shook his head. "Nope, I think it's a very nice name for our kid. Hey Naruya welcome to Spira, your new life!" He didn't know how true those words were in his small daughter's young life. The baby girl smiled up at her father.
