Hi everyone! I've decided to write this bit out so that the readers can better decide on the female pairing better. In this One-shot, we'll be seeing Naruto on his space voyage, for the past seven years after the Cell Games. Now I can't promise any sort of length to this story anymore than I can that it'll be likable, I can only hope that you will enjoy it. So let us begin!

Viola

Naruto sighed as he sat in the pilot's seat of the Capsule Corp. shuttle. "Gigit, how far out are we from where planet Vegeta used to be?" The blond asked.

"We'll arrive in another half an hour," the A.I. computer said, "Miss Bulma assured us that the remains of the planet should still be floating around, but I don't see why we're visiting a space where a planet that was destroyed used to be?"

The sixteen-year-old sighed, "I already told you that I wanted to check the place out. Uncle Veggie said that attack pods had homing beacons that would bring a Saiyan home if they couldn't complete a mission." The blond explained, "There could be other Saiyans out there."

"That, and you don't want to go any where near Planet Frost, right?" Gigit asked, almost sounding smug. Naruto rolled his eyes, of course she was right. He had no desire to go anywhere near that planet because of the Frost Demon race that lived there, especially after meeting Cooler, Frieza, and King Cold. There was no telling how much like those three that the rest of the planet's inhabitants were.

Meeting up with Tarble, though, had been one of the better things that had happened on his trip. From what the blond had heard from Bulma through the transmissions, keeping up with things on Earth was one of the few things that kept him from going bonkers when he was just skimming through space, Tarble had visited Earth not long ago to deal with a bit of trouble.

Now, he was working with the Galactic Police force, trying to crack down on Frieza's old empire. Unfortunately, that wasn't going so well. The Frost Demon's Planet Trade Organization was supported by many dangerous races, dangerous and rich, thus making the process of stopping them damnably impossible short of starting a galactic war with Frost.

Tarble had once explained that if the Frost Demons weren't so powerful, then it would have been a simple matter to take care of them, but the fact was that Frost Demons were just too strong for a few soldiers.

"I'll admit that," Naruto said, smiling at the computer, "besides, after this, I think it'll be time to head home. Have you checked the warp points? I'd like to get home right after we get done here."

"All of the warp points are in working order," Gigit said, "You want one set up at the Vegeta planet area? We could come back here at anytime if the need came up?"

Naruto nodded, "Good idea, toss one out as soon as we get there." He rose from his seat, "I'm going to check in on the gardens. Some of the new plants we picked up from our last surface drop aren't looking so good." He said, his tail swishing out behind him, "Sound the alarm if your scanners pick anything up, alright?"

"Aye, aye, Cap'n." Gigit said.

Naruto smiled, thinking that he should really thank his adoptive aunt more for Gigit's personality. It wasn't as lonely as he thought it would be when he left Earth so long ago.

As he made his way to the green room, the familiar scent of earth filled his nose. His green room was his most prized possession while in space. Each and every planet he'd visited was home to more amazing plants than he could count.

But his prize was the small Yemma tree in the room. It was still just a sapling, but it was already producing fruit, which were just as powerful, if not more so than the Senzu Beans he grew for emergencies. Though, he didn't like remembering how he'd gotten his hands on the seeds. That had been painful...and embarrassing in some ways. He could still feel Bardock's boot in his rear after getting kicked off King Kai's planet, straight into Hell. In all honest, he'd had fun...right up until he ran into Cooler again.

Naruto shivered at the memory. Half the population of Hell had gotten the show of a life -afterlife- time when Cooler had found him. His Uncle Raditz had laughed himself silly at one point or another after seeing the boy get hammered into the Bloody Pond, head first with his tail looking like one of those bendable toothbrushes.

It was only after getting knocked into one of the Yemma trees that Naruto had actually gotten a hold of one of the fruits and managed to eat it, finding that the fruit was just like the Senzu Bean, and hidden a few in his Gi before knocking Cooler himself into the pond before hightailing it out of Hell and back to Yemma's office.

After getting a ride back to King Kai's, Bardock had not even listened to the irate blond Saiyan after he'd gotten there...and kicked him off the planet again...but not before Naruto grabbed his tail and dragged him down with him. King Kai had never let either of them hear the end of it after that.

Naruto chuckled at the memory of his "grandfather's" training. It was thanks to him that he'd made it to Super Saiyan. After his battle ended with Cooler and his death, nothing had pleased the blond more than training to become stronger after flying into the sun to beat him. After being wished back, Naruto had nearly gotten his ears blasted off by his mother for not coming home. But then again, it had been worth it all. Meeting his new father and training under him was one of his fondest memories.

"Then he goes and gets himself blown to other world," Naruto sighed, remembering the fight with Cell as he began watering the various flowers he'd adopted, "Me and Gohan still weren't strong enough."

"You know that wasn't your fault," Gigit's voice said, startling him, "I've gone over the footage from the battle, and there's no way either you or Gohan could have stopped Cell if he'd succeeded in blowing himself up like that. Goku did the only thing he could to save you and give you both another shot."

Naruto shrugged as he paid special attention to a species of rose he'd picked up on his last drop. It was a metallic red that he thought would make a nice gift for Chi-Chi when he got back home. "Doesn't make any less easier losing someone. After I got my memories back, I'd never felt weaker than I did right then when Dad said good-bye like that."

"Well, according to my databases, loss of that level can induce quite the trauma on a ten-year-old's psych." Gigit said, "And from what I understand, you were able to Ascend, as you Saiyans put it."

Naruto nodded, "I was so angry that Dad had died like that for us, and all for nothing. Cell came back, and both me and Gohan had to do the deed." He knelt and pulled an errant weed from the base of a particularly small Senzu plant. "I've never felt that way. For the longest time, I was taught to let go of my anger, yet, here, it became my strength."

He couldn't help but remember the unbridled rage that had boiled forth when Cell had reappeared before them. But the android had gotten the shock of his life when Naruto had gone into the Super Saiyan 2 stage, and had to contend with both Naruto and Gohan as they unleashed their combined might against him.

"Is that why you wanted to go into space?" Gigit asked.

"Part of it," Naruto smiled, "I just wanted to get away from all the death. I think I told you I came out of a war once, right?"

"You did,"Gigit responded, "Still, it's hard to believe that you're from some alternate reality sent here by one of the Gods. Lord Beerus is Earth's resident God, which is surprising to say that he would allow another God to interfere with his quadrant."

Naruto laughed, and dusted off his hands, "Old man Hagoromo would do anything to keep the peace, even removing someone from the world that may or may not repeat the process. Hell, if Sasuke had lived, then he might have gone for him instead of me, but he was dead, and I was already dying. So, I guess he chose my soul instead of Sasuke's."

"I can't begin to understand the deities of this galaxy," Gigit said, almost sounding like she was sighing, "But I - Hang on, we've just reached Vegeta's spacial area."

"Any signs of pods?" Naruto asked.

"Scanning now..." Naruto held his breath as the A.I. started her scan. "We've got a hit!"

Naruto ran from the room, nearly colliding with the before it could open, "Prep a rescue pod for me and get as close to that pod as possible!" Naruto roared, "Make sure that it's Saiyan, and make sure that the life support system is still going!"

"Already done, the pod's waiting, and the life support is centered around a young Saiyan. I can't get a proper reading on the possible gender, but the pods been out here for decades. The cold sleep system is just about to give out so you should hurry."

Naruto slid into the hangar, and hopped into the waiting pod, the hatching closing with a hiss. "Grappler, going out. Gigit, get the medical bay ready."

"On it."

Naruto waited for the hangar doors to open before starting up the ship. "Okay, Gigit, guide to it. Where's the pod?"

"Straight out in front of the ship," Gigit said, "I've got a laser marker on it, just follow the beam."

Naruto looked out in front of the ship and saw the green light pointing out into the debris, "Got it. Keep it on the pod until I get close enough to grab it." He said, and throttled the vessel. The Capsule Corp. Grappler was one of Bulma's finest works, in his opinion. It was a small space cruiser she'd made right along side of rebuilding Frieza's crafter after Trunks had destroyed it the first time. His own version was larger.

Naruto's craft sped through the asteroids, ducking in and out, and following the beam of light. Suddenly he spotted a familiar white sphere, "I've got eyes on the pod, Gigit!" He said, nearing the craft, "Deploying suction pads." He punched a button on the dash, producing a set of joysticks, while two arms popped out of either side of the Grappler. Each arm was topped with basketball sized suction cups to take hold of the pod.

A large asteroid drifted over the Capsule Corp. craft, scraping against the hull, and setting Naruto's ears to a painful ringing. "External damage. Naruto, you've got a bad gash along the top of the Grappler, get the pod and get back here before the pressure damages the interior systems."

"Working on it!" Naruto groaned, moving the arms out to grasp the pod. "Can you move the ship closer?"

In answer the Frost Capsule ship moved closer, but was impeded by the debris left over from the destroyed planet. "I can get a little closer, but I have to keep it slow, or else we're looking at some major damage. Vegeta was rich in a strong, sharp metal in it's raw state. It's drifting all over the place."

Naruto nodded, smiling as his grappling arms grasped the pod, "I've got it. We're heading back!"

"Be careful," Gigit advised. "You've got a large piece of that metal I mentioned coming at you." Naruto drew the pod back toward the ship and sighed, turning the ship about.

"Gigit, make sure that I've got a clear path, I don't want anymore surprises," Naruto sighed as he guided his shuttle back, dipping down and under the large asteroid that had been coming toward him.

"You've got it clear, but you'd better move it." Gigit said urgently, "I've got incoming on my sensors, and they don't seem friendly."

"I'm coming," Naruto said and gunned the throttle, "Do and about face and warp us to area seventy-five as soon as we're on board."

"Roger."

The blond piloted his shuttle back around to the main ship as Gigit turned the ship, opening the hatch once more, and allowing him to enter. Naruto set down just as what looked like a Planet Trade Organization shuttle coming into view, "Gigit! Get us outta here!"

"Closing hatch, and preparing for launch!"

"Prepare nothing! Get us out!" Naruto roared, "It's the Frost Demons!" Naruto yelled and a moment later, he was knocked out of his seat as the ship lurched, and was on the move. "GIGIT!"

"You said you wanted no preparation," Gigit said by way of explanation.

Naruto groaned as he pulled himself back up, "Gee, thanks. Ow, I think I bend my tail!" He staggered out of the shuttle, "I'm going to have to ask Uncle Veggie if it's possible to break a Saiyan's tail bones."

The pod had gone undamaged, thanks to his careful flying, but it was, as Gigit said, old. Outdated close to giving out. "Damn, whoever's in there, sure got lucky we found them."

"I'm sending down a gurney, and I've got a vial of Yemma fruit juice waiting in the hospice." Gigit said, "We'll be in area seventy-five within the hour."

"How many jumps until we reach Earth?" Naruto asked.

"Four."

Naruto smiled, "Plenty of time to give Mom a buzz, and tell her we're coming home." He said and sauntered over to the pod, "Let's get this thing open and see who we've got." He ran his hands over the smooth surface of the pod, searching for the release for the hatch, and pressed it in. The pod groaned as the gurney hovered into the room, and popped open.

Naruto stepped back, wondering who or what he might have found. But he was not ready for what he found...a girl!

The blond couldn't keep the blush from his face. She was beautiful. Like most other Saiyans, besides himself, and Trunks, she had dark hair, and pale, cream-colored skin, wearing a blue mid-driff suit belted around her waist with a yellow sash. Her legs were partially covered with a pair of black shorts that seemed a little tight. But the other thing he noticed about her was her...height.

Good God, she's as short as I was four years ago! Naruto almost laughed. She'd barely reach up to my collar bone! He moved forward to pick her up and set her down on the gurney, "Gigit, our guest is female, and definitely a Saiyan." He said, noting the tail wrapped tightly around her waist. "Are you sure there weren't any other life signs our there?"

"Sorry, Sir, she was the only one," Gigit said, "I'm willing to bet that that ship we saw heading toward us picked up on her ship's distress signal. Lucky for her we came along, or she probably wouldn't been vaporized on sight."

"I think you're right," the blond said as he pushed the girl along, "Have the bots in the kitchen cook up a Saiyan-size meal, juice aside, she's gonna be hungry when she wakes up."

"Aye, sir."

But before Naruto got her to the hospice, the girl started stirring. "Mm."

"Oops." Naruto gulped, not sure what to do as the girl opened her eyes slowly. "Uh, take it easy, Miss. You've been out there for a long time."

The girl started awake, her eyes snapping open at the sound of the blond's voice. Upon seeing him, the girl lept up from the gurney and summersaulted backward, landing on her toes, a Ki blast primed. Naruto yelped and held up his hands, "W-whoa, wait a minute! You can't use that in here, you'll blast a hole through the hull, and I don't know about you, but I can't breathe in space!"

"If you don't explain what the hell's going on, then you won't have much of a choice!" She growled at him, advancing on him, the blast still held level with his chest, "Now who are you? How did I get here, and why aren't I on Vegeta?!"

Naruto visibly sweated as the girl neared him, "A-all very good questions, I'm sure, b-b-but could you put that down, kyu?" Naruto clapped his hand over his mouth as the girl blinked and cocked her head to the side.

"Kyu?" She repeated.

Naruto's face burned, "It's a verbal tic."

The girl's face hardened, and then noticed the boy's tail swishing around nervously, "You're a Saiyan? What rank are you?"

"Rank?" Naruto asked, "Uh, well, Vegeta often called me a Third Class."

The girl snorted, and powered down, "Hmph, I should have know," she said, strutting up to him and poking him in the chest, "You look weak."

Naruto pouted, and batted the hand away, much to her annoyance, "That's not very nice. I just saved your life. Your pod's life support system was about to give out, and there was a Planet Trade Organization ship heading right for you." He said, causing her to grimace at him, "If I hadn't been in the area, then you would have died without even knowing why!"

The girl scoffed, "I suppose thanks are in order." She held out her hand, the back of it facing up, "Very well, you have my thanks. Be grateful that I, an Elite Saiyan warrior, offers this to you."

Naruto stared at the hand for a moment, "Offering what?" He asked, causing the girl to hit the deck, "What?"

She popped back up and bopped him on the head, "That's a Third Class for you! As dumb as they are weak!"

Naruto growled, holding his head, "Man, you're such a pain!" He growled, and the girl scowled at him, "I think I should have left you our there!"

"Commoner, you have no idea how important I am," she said, puffing herself up slightly, not doing much for her height, "I happen to be the daughter of Zorn, right hand guard to King Veg - Did you say you knew Vegeta?" She asked, her eyes widening.

Naruto scratched the back of his head, "Well, yeah, he's kinda like my uncle. He trained me for a little while, too, until my dad came back home from - Hey!" She latched onto him, "What gives?!" He asked in slight anger, until he looked down at the girl and saw that she had stars in her eyes. "Kyu?"

"You were trained by the king?! For real?!" She asked, "What was that like?! Tell me!"

Naruto pried her off, "Uh, listen, I think I should answer those questions, now...First off, my name is Son Naruto." He said as the girl listened, "And as to where you are, well, you're currently on the Gigit Mark One, and heading toward Earth."

"Where's Earth?" She asked.

"It's in the Sector Twelve of the Seventh Universe," Naruto explained, "And it's the last home of the remaining Saiyans."

The girl's eyes widened, "Last...home...what are you talking about!?" She gabbed the front of his Gi, "Why aren't we going to Vegeta!? Why is our race on this Earth place!?"

Naruto took hold of her wrists gently, looking her in the eyes, "Because our planet was destroyed a little over thirty years ago...by Frieza."

The girl's pale face went totally white then, and she sank to her knees, "Th-thirty years...b-but I just...my sixteenth cycle..." Tears sprang to her eyes, and flowed down her cheeks. She looked back up at him, "H-how many of us are left?"

Naruto scratched his whiskered cheeks, "Well, as far as pure-blooded Saiyans go, there's, well, two of us. Me and Uncle Vegeta, the King's son...oh, and his brother, Tarble, I almost forgot about him!"

"The prince is a live?" She asked, "Has he found a suitable partner?"

"Well, he has a wife and a child if that's what you mean?" Naruto said, "Besides, I think you're a little young for him. Even if he did show interest, he's just over forty."

The girl seemed to recover quickly, tapping her chin in thought, "I see, so he has a mate...what about this Tarble?"

"Married," Naruto sighed, "Look, if you want a boyfriend, I think my brother would be - "

"Is he a full-Saiyan as well?" She asked excitedly.

"No, he's half-human," Naruto said, "I was kinda adopted by his mother when I was six."

"I see, so you are a full-blooded Saiyan, correct?" She asked, taking in his looks, "I'm surprised. Most of our race's hair color has always been black or brown, but never this golden color."

"Blond," Naruto supplied.

""Whatever," she waved her hand airily, "Alright. I've decided."

Naruto, for some reason did not like the sound of that, "Uh, decided what, exactly?"

Hands on her hips, the girl unwrapped her tail from her waist and reached out to twine it with Naruto's, "I, Viola of the Elite, claim you, Son Naruto, Third Class, as my mate."

"Kyu?" Naruto blanched, "Come again?"

Viola sighed, and poked him in the chest, "We will have to work on that verbal tic of your's. I will not have a weak sounding mate. And you'll also need to train, for I want our future children to be strong to continue our race for as long as possible...speaking of that, we should produce an offspring right away. Do you have an incubation chamber on board this ship?"

All the while that she was talking, everything she said seemed to be flying right over Naruto's head. Naruto's jaw slackened and hit the floor as his eyes widened. Had this strange little Chibi just said what he thought she said?!

"This is wonderful, Captain. You're mother was always saying that she wanted you to bring home a bride,"Gigit put in, a smile in her voice, "And to answer the future Mrs. Son's question, no, we do not have an incubation chamber on this ship. Nor is there anything like it on Earth."

Viola huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "Then how are we supposed to produce any offspring?"

Naruto gulped, Please don't answer that, Gigit!

"Oh, you'll just have to reproduce internally." Gigit answered, of course.

Viola looked confused, "Reproduce internally? How are we to do that?"

Please, please, please don't answer that! Naruto wailed mentally.

"That is easily done by engaging in sexual intercourse with the captain." Gigit said, much to Naruto's horror, and Viola's confusion. "this is done by inserting the male reproductive organ into the female's. From what I've studied, it can be quite pleasurable."

Viola nodded along with the A.I.'s statement, "I think we will figure it out." She said, turning back to the blond, "you're A.I. is...where did he go?" Viola asked as Naruto's after image vanished. "Naruto, wait! We need to engage!"

"GIGIT!" Naruto's roar could be heard throughout the ship as Viola gave chase.

Now this should help with the voting. As I said, both girls have a different storyline. And before you ask, if Zangya was to win, I'd be writing the Bojack Unbound movie in my style, so you can imagine how that would go. Either way, I hope you enjoy this One-shot out a sampler of Naruto's future in Foundations of a God. Also, believe it or not Viola is actually a game character from Dragonball Heroes right along with Forte. Now, I'm sure you're all wondering when I'll get to Forte's snippet, I'll be working on it tomorrow.

Like this storyline, let me know in a review.
