The Meeting: Part One

Sasuke watched as the heavy door flew through the air and smack the wall. His attention then turned to a small group of five, four men and one girl, standing in the now doorless doorway. Each wore the most unusual clothes he'd ever seen. The men fanned out around Sasuke and the Klikk with raised guns. The girl then stepped up beside the Uchiha while adjusting her of arm bands. The girl gave Sasuke a curious look through a pair of goggles. He in turn gave her his usual cold stare that really didn't seem to phase her.

Sasuke's dark eyes looked the mysterious girl up and down, taking in all her features. She wore a hot pink and pale yellow body suite with green straps, matching pink head gear, black fingerless gloves, and a pair of knee high boots. She stood a head shorter than him, had a petite form, had blue-black hair that was cut short so that it didn't pass her ears, and from as far as Sasuke could see, had pale, almost paper-white skin.

Sasuke raised a dark brow. "You're going to help?"

The mystery girl nodded once before sinking into a fighting stance and brandashing a weird claw-like weapon at the Klikk. Sasuke shrugged before raising his Longsword. "Just don't get in my way."

Then, with a tremendous burst of speed, Sasuke charged the monster with the girl close behind. The two quickly closed the distance between them and the Klikk as Sasuke swung his sword in a wide arch.

The Klikk, with all its agility, quickly jumped out of the way. This however left it open to attack as the second member of tag team fighters took atvantage of its vunerable underside. One would think with her small size that she wouldn't have the physical strength nessesary to really hurt something like a Klikk, however she did. With a viciously sharp clawed fist, she she punched the creature back. Sasuke came around her to press their attack with an over head slash. Sasuke's sword attack managed to slice though its thick armor-like skin on its shoulder and into softer flesh under it this time. The Klikk gave a pained screech as blood flowed freely onto the floor. It shieked again before swinging its talons at the him.

Sasuke dived away to the side, completely avoiding the attack. His partner rushed forward, pulling back her arm and curling her hand into a tight fist again. The Klikk swung its claw in a horizontal slash aimed at her neck. She ducked just in time, allowing her to get within its defenses. The pale girl delivered a strong uppercut to its maw. She pivited around and followed through with a roundhouse kick, connecting the back of her foot with its face, and knocking the Klikk senselss.

The kick had enough power in it to send the Klikk flying. One of the four men that accompanied the girl yelped when he saw the Klikk being hurtled in his direction. He managed to move out the way seconds before the Klikk impacted with the stone support beam behind him.

There was a definante BOOM followed by the sound of crumbling stone as cracks spidered out from where the Klikk landed. Sasuke and the girl readied themselves again when monster quickly recovered and rose to its feet, shaking it head to focus its vision. Even though the Klikks face so stiff it couldn't create a proper expession, that didn't stop the Zanarkanian or the mysterious girl from seeing the angry, murderous glint in its red eyes or feel the terrible amount of bloodlust radiating from it.

Sasuke barely saw the creature move when all the sudden he felt most of the air in his lungs being forcefully driven out and found himself knocked into the air. The Klikk moved with monsterous speed when it rammed into the teenager with a lot of force behind it. When he hit the ground he skidded a few yards before stopping, kicking up dust along the way. Sasuke got up to his knees, his mouth filling with the coppery tast of blood. With his free hand he gently touched his rubbs and hiss in pain. It was a wonder nothing broke. Shit, that things a heavy hitter!

The Klikk wasted no time as it moved on to the girl. It jumped up into the air screeching, extending one of its clawed arms while guarding it underside. After getting struck twice there, it didn't seem to want the give the girl another chance to hit it there again. The girl jumped back, avoiding the raking claws. The Klikk rebounded from its initial attack and swung its heavy tail. She back away quickly.Its swinging tail distacted her just long enough for the Klikk to take a swipe at her. She screamed in pain when dagger sharp claws sliced through cloth and into her arm, leaving three large horizontal gashes.

The girl fell back, clutching her bleeding arm. The Klikk was about to pounce on her when a hail of bullets wizzed by. The Klikk screeched in anger again and was now charging the nearest human with such blinding speed he barely had time to reloud. The four men that came in with her raised their guns again, ready to fire off another round. The recovered Sasuke stepped in the way of the Klikk and raised his sword and blocked the attack.Sasuke pulled away to get some distance. He then held up his sword and started pouring chakra into the blade until it glowed a light shade of blue. Sasuke then dashed forward with awe inspiring speed. He lept up into a front flip then twisted his body until he was spinning in midair. "Swordplay: Spiral Cut!" He called out his attack before bringing down his sword heavily on the Klikk, carving a daiagnal wound across its chest area. He seemed to have weakend it drasticly as it now stumbled back, screeching in agony.

The unnamed girl looked surprised to see a complete, yet very strong, stranger, defend her and her companions so. "Dammit, woman! Don't just sit there, do something!"

The short haired girl shook her shock away and nodded. Standing up, she fished though a small hip pack and pulled out a small round, green object.

Sasuke was holding the enraged beast at bay while the armed man behind dashed away to a safer place. Sasuke's eyes drifted over to the girl to see her holding a small grenade, ready to pull the clip out and throw it. She seemed hesitant though, as if waiting for him to get out of the way. A devilishly cold smirk crossed his features before the broody teen pushed the Klikk towards the girl. Then he ducked away and quickly moved out of the blast radius when she threw it.

The Klikk reeled back, poised to rush after him. The little grenade rolled under the beast and a split second later...

KaBOOOOOM!

The Klikk was engulfed in a sea of flames! The witnessing humans had to take a few steps back as the searing heat licked at them and flying debres went in all directions. From somewhere inside the ball of fire, a final, agonized shiek reverberted from the Klikk before whisps of lights danced up out of the flames and vanished away.

Sasuke watched all this from his place not too far away, panting heavily. They beat it, but Sasuke frowned at himself. His Spiral Cut left him feeling sluggish. If this was the best his strength could do, then he seriously needed more training from Kakashi, that is if he could find him. Sasuke eyes flew over to the girl who stood there watching him. After a moment of staring she took off he goggles, revealing shockingly white, pupleless eyes. The girl gave him a small smile.

Sasuke sighed before he slumped to the floor, ready to take a long nap. "Now there's something you don't see every day." He said more to himself than to her. At the moment of slight weariness he didn't see the four men he helped save surround him. The Uchiha yelped in pain when he felt a hand suddenly grip his black hair and pull him back up to his feet. "What the hell are you... lemme go dammit!"

The moment those words left his mouth three gun barreles were shoved in his face. "Fryd ec drec?" One of the four men asked in a language Sasuke had never even heard before.

"Y fiend! Eh resyh tukieca!" Another responded.

"Oac! Ed ec cu! "

Despite Sasuke's lack of understanding their words, body language was something he did understand and from the way things were looking, it didn't look like things were falling in his favor. His suspisions were confermed when the one clutching his hair tigtened his grip, making the Uchiha wince, and when a dark skinned man pressed a curved knife to his throat. Bastards!

"Fa gamm ed?"

He almost sighed in relief when the girl suddenly spoke up. "Fryd! Fryd ev ed ec risyh?"

The one with the knife twisted it away from Sasuke's neck and pointed at her. Not in a threatening way though, simply as if to make a point. "Drao yna dra cysach eh taydr."

The girl placed her hands on her hips and said, "E vanpet ed! Fa puchk ed fedr ic." Her white eyes drifted over to him before she came close to him. TOO close for his liking. "... Cunno" She breathed into his ear.

Sasuke doubled over when her bare fist sank deeply into his already abused gut, knocking the air out of him. Sasuke dropped to his knees before falling over. His world became nothing more than a blurry double visioned place as he watched the girl watch him go down before turning and waling away. Then he was submerged into the relm of darkness.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

Sasuke groaned ever so slightly as awareness slowly came back to him. He could hear the sound of rolling waves all around and felt the world move in a sort of swaying motion. A cool breeze ruffled his hair and clothes bringing with it the scent of sea air. Sasuke shivered a little at the coolness around him. Sasuke opened his eyes to find himself lying on very cold and very hard metal floor that made him feel stiff. Not the best thing to wake up to after going through so much so fast.

Sasuke pushed himself up to a sitting position to look around. Not only was it still night, but now he was trapped on a boat in the middle of the sea with a bunch of wackos who spoke some wierd language! Not only that, but they took all his things! From his sword to his Eithers! My life offically sucks now! He then cursed his luck colorfully. Someone up there must really hate me.

Sensing sudden movement from behind, one of two guards turn to see the dark haired teen rise. "Ced, lybdejega!" He guard shouted at Sasuke while elbowing him down into the guard rail of the ship.

"Dammit!" Sasuke threw the man a death glared. "What the hell was that for?"

"Hu sujehk, rayn!" Sasuke suddenly found the other guard's gun inches away from his face.

The Uchiha clentched his fist and turned away. "Bunch of assholes." He mumbled.

At that moment, on the opposite end of the deck, a heavy metal door slid open as five more people walked out. Among them, Sasuke could see the girl that knocked him out. He seethed at the memory. She had fallen in step behind a young man around Sasuke's age, a year older than him. He wore a black and white sleeveless suite with blue staps cris-crossing here and there, a pair of fingerles glove, a pair of short boots, and, like the girl behind him, a pair of goggles that where pushed up to his forehead. The newcomer had perly eyes like the girl but had long black hair. He wore a scowl that could rival Sasuke's and held an air of arrogant superiority. He was obviously the leader of the group. The Uchiha frowned deeply with narrowing eyes. This guy was definantly someone Sasuke knew he wouldn't like.

While one of the guards kept his gun on Sasuke the other turned and bowed deeply to the two. "Caynir res." The long haired teen jerked his head in Sasuke's direction with narrowed eyes.

The girl came around to Sasuke and pulled him up while pinning his arm almost gently behind his back. The youth with the long hair dug into his back pocket and produced a pair of goggles. He then jestered for Sasuke to take them and, if Sasuke was reading him right, and he beleived he was, to jump overboard into the water.

The dark brooder raised a defiant brow but decided to play dumb. "... Me.Not.Understand.You!" From behind he could hear a stifled snicker.

The pale eyed teen frowned, his brow twitching in annoyance. "Tu oui hud cbayg?" he questioned before repeating his earlier actions.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I just said I didn't understand you."

"Ehcumhala!" A gun was then pointed at Sasuke... again! These people must love doing that, he though dryly.

The girl behind Sasuke swated the weapon away with a "Fyed!" before turning to Sasuke. "H-he s-s-said you can stay i-if you work."

Sasuke's ears caught the fluently, but studdering spoken words of actual English. Her words were light and soft with a hint of shyness. He turned to look at the girl with slightly widened eyes. "You understand me?" she nodded. Then pain blossomed in the back of head when the butt of rifle collided with it. Sasuke growled from his chest, silently vowing to kill the next idiot that hit him. "Dammit! Okay, I'll work!"

The girl gave him a small appologetic smile before translating for her comrades. They finally seemed to back off when she told them Sasuke's decision. "T-there are some r-ruins d-d-down below us. We're g-goning t-t-to go down and d-dig it up and s-salvage something i-important. T-there's still some p-power left in t-the ruins, s-so we'll have to activate i-it before we s-s-start escavating." She explained as she handed Sasuke back all his belongings they had confiscated.

Sasuke shugged, before taking back his stuff and walking to the gaurd rail. "Whatever." He said as he strapped his sword across his back. Sasuke then jumped onto the rail with ease and threw an expecting glance at her before diving in head first. The girl looked over the rail only to see a large splash. She turn to the other four men, and told them it was time to go before she slipped one her goggles once again and plunged into the sea water.

The swim went fairly smooth as the decended deeper and deeper into the darkened sea with only the overhead lights from the ship to illuminate their way. Along the was they met a group (four or five) of some flesh eating Piranhas that were quickly dispatched before they could do any real harm.

Just a little further away, Sasuke could made out dim red lights and the silhouetted form of a large collapsed bulding that, oddly enough, looked simmilar to the ones one would find in Zanarkand. The very thought made him a little homesick. He was so deep in thought that he didn't noticed that they made it to the ruins until he felt someone tap his shoulder. Sasuke turned to see the bilingual girl pointing to a opening infront of her and waved at him to follow. With a nod, he swam in after her.

The two found themselves in a small room. In front of them there was a large panel that still had some power in it as it flickered off and on. The girl swam up to it and started tapping away at the touch scheen keys. After a moment of watching her do this, Sasuke was begining to get bored. This is getting annoying, he sighed mentally before he came up next to her and moved the girl aside. Turning to the panel, he gave it a few good smacks.

If she could, the unamed girl would have yelped at his violent actions. He was gonna break it! She moved to stop him but was derailed when a green light flashed on the panel and the ancient doors slid open. She gave Sasuke a surprised look and he simply waved it off and went on ahead. She blinked at his swimming form before following after into another room that looked like an Obsevatory where they met more Piranhas. A quick slash of a sword here, and a few clawed punches there, and like the ones outside, the deadly little fish were reduced to sushi. The duo continued on into the Power Room.

Sasuke watched as his forced teammate swim up to a large machine that was attached to the ceiling. There were a number of tubes and wire connected to it that went off in every direction though some of the tubes were disconnected, a few wires were severed, and from the looks of the faint glow inside the glass chamber in the center, it seemed it was running on its secondary, emergency power. The girl looked around the machine and waved over to him, wanting him to take a look. Sasuke came over and looked at the hunk of metal and glass. He blinked at power generator when he came closer. It kinda reminded him of the mini generator he owned. In fact, it looked just like the one that gave power to his house back in Zanarkand. Okaaaay, the thought before getting to work. That's a little weird, but at least I know what to do.

After a moment of reconnecting tubes and fixing wires he finally threw the ON switch up. The the center chamber grew brighter as the generator began to hum with renewed life and the terbines began to turn. The room lit up as energy poured out of the machine. Sasuke gave a small smirk at his successful abilities as a handyman.

Unbeknownest to the two in the Power Room, the sudden surge of commsion the generator started drew the attention of a large sea creature with many tenticles.

Wih their task done, the two made their way out of the Power Room and into the Obsevatory. The moment the two reentered the room, a large octopus looking thing, a Tros, shot out at them from nowhere. The Tros was many shades of blue, had big yellow eyes, a thickly amored head. The water beast was easily twice their size as it speedily made its way to them. Two tenticles shot out in an attempt to grab them.

The two dodged to the sides, slipping out of the Tros' range. Sasuke pulled out his Longsword while the girl Claws. The Tros yellow eyes trailed between the two humans as if choosing which one to attack first before settling on the smaller one. Then, with its powerful tenticles, the Tros darted towards the pale eyed girl, its long tenticles schetched out to insnare her

But Sasuke would have non of that as he carved off one of its writhing apendages. The Tros bellowed in agony before swimming around to the opposite side of the room and away from the two, trailing clouds of blood. However, it didn't stay away as it charged back at them. Using its armor covered head, it knocked the two away in a hit and run.

Shaking the fuzziness away, Sasuke was now genuinally getting fed up and was on his last good nerve. Looking over to his partner, he motioned her to go around as he went the opposite way. She nodded, recognizing his plan to trap it in a Pincer Attack. Reaching their desired positions, the two nodded once to each other before charging it at the same time.The girl managed to reach the Tros first. It shot out its remaining tenticles to block the attack, but she weaved around them. With a visious punch, she knocked the Tros back towards Sasuke. With a swift swing of his sword, Sasuke cleaved the water creature in two.

The Tros cried out in its death before bursting into little balls of light.

Outside, one by one the large and long rusted search lights turned on as power once again fowed through them. There bright light come on so sudden that they scared away a small school of innocent fish. By then Sasuke and the bilingual girl emerged from the ruins and out into the open waters again. Thanks to the newly added light, the pitch darkness was banashed away as the two made their way to the small search party that had joined them from off the ship.

Sasuke noticed that they were all looking and pointing at a large wall of coral reef before one started back up to the surface. Probably going to tell those other guys about the find, Sasuke thought. Following their gaze, he saw just what it was they seemed to starring at. In bedded within layers of coral and rock, was a large ship of some kind. It had been badly rusted due to constant exposure to water and time, and covered in both Algie and coral. Its once brillant and flashy colors was drastically dulled and had many dents and holes blown into it. Overall, it wasn't very appealing to the eye. Though, for some reason, Sasuke had an inkling that the people swimming not five feet from him were planning something big with it. Obviously they were going to give it an overhaul to fix it up, but what they were going to use it for drew up one big question mark in his head.

Whatever then, Sasuke said mentally. My jobs done so I'm not gonna stick around any longer than I have to. Then he turned and began his swim back ship, the others following shortly after.

One by one, the group of exivators broke the surface. There was a rope latter hanging overboard, waiting to be used for them to get back on the boat with. The girl went up first, then one by one the two men that came with her, and finally Sasuke who shook off droplets of water once he got back on deck.

"Fa vuiht dra airship!" One of the three exclaimed

Another then said, "Dra naluntc fana nekrd."

"Hur, ruf du tnok ed ib?" the third asked. Then the man turned to Sasuke. "Oui, uidceta!" he called to Sasuke. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figuer out what the man said before he continued on inside the ship. The heavy metal door slid shut, leaving Sasuke alone.

Sasuke shrugged, before walking over to a bunch of stacked up metal cargo crates that had been tied down and covered somewhat. Truth be told, it really didn't matter one way or another if they did or didn't trust him. He sat down on the cold metal deck and leaned back on his fore arms to look up at the stary night sky before he began to endulge in his favorite activity; brooding. And that's how he was for over an hour. Every now and again the load beast in his stomach would growl, catching and then losing Sasuke's attantion. "I deffinately should have eaten something before I left."

It was then that soft footsteps caught his attention. Sasuke turned to see the girl from earlier. She froze under his cold, hard stare. "What do you want?" he said icily. He still hadn't forgiven her for knocking him out among other things.

"I-I-I... I w-was just... h-here." She placed a tray of food down in front of him.

To Sauke, it looked weird, but given that he hadn't eaten anything all day, he found the aroma was very suductive. Sitting up and crossing his legs, he picked the tray up and placed it on his lap. He muttered a "Thanks," then he started to pick and nibble at the food, though his eyes trailed on the girl ever few seconds. She in turn sat down across from him and deverted her white eyes away. They sat like that for the next few minutes until he finally put the tray down and stood up to stretch while walking out to the middle ofthe deck.

"... Um..."

Sasuke turned to face her. It was time for a little "Q" and "A." "So, you got a name?"

She nodded before saying in a almost whispering voice. "Hinata,"

Sasuke nodded at this. At least now he knew what to call her. "I'm Sasuke. So, you really understand me?" She nodded. "And you didn't say so earier because..." He left the question hanging so she could fill it in.

"... S-sorry. I-I-I was doing it to save your l-life. T-the others thought o-oui were a-a fiend." Hinata said, emphisizing the oui word.

"We"

The newly established Hinata nodded. " Oh...'Oui' means 'you'." She then walked over to the railing and looked out at the ocean. She was begining to feel a little comfortable with their talking now that the tension seem to be lifting. Even her studdering lessened.

"So then, who are you people?"

Hinata turned her head to Sasuke. "You can't tell? We're Al Bhed." then something seemed to dawn on her. "You aren't an Al Bhed hater... are you?" She looked at him worriedly as she turned completely around. She sighed when he shook his head no. "So.. where are you from?"

Sasuke didn't trust her too much, but that kind of information wasn't too much to share. "Zanarkand." he turned away for a moment so he didn't catch the odd look she sent him. "I'm a Blitzball player for the Zanarkan Abes."

Hinata blinked. "I-I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but, did you hit your head? Are you feeling alright?"

The Zanarkanian glared at her questions. Rude indeed, and it only served to remind him of his bruised ego. "You, and your friends hit me." He said slowly, vemon dripping off each word.

She flinched. "S-s-sorry." He was beginning to scare her again. "So, d-do you remember anything before we met you?" she asked, trying to change the subject.

Saske took a deep breath and counted to ten, his anger ebbing away. He then crossed the rest of the deck to stand next to her by the guard rail. He then begain to tell her about Zanarkand, life there, Blitzball, and so on up to Sin's attack. He even mentioned the light that engulfed him and Kakash It was the most so far he ever talked in his life, but the conversation got him thinking when he saw each of her reactions to different parts of his story.

"What?" he asked when he saw her eyes grow to the size of sausers plates.

"You... you were near Sin?" she asked disbelievingly while the information was still sinking in. Sasuke nodded. "I see. Don't worry then." Hinata said, a small sympathetic smile creeping into existance on her lips. "You'll get better soon." Sasuke gave her an odd look. "They say when Sin's around, people loose their memories and start to hallucinate."

Sasuke's odd look became much more apperant. "Are you trying to say I'm sick?"

Hinata nodded. "Yes, you must've breathed in some of Sin's toxins." she said. "Zanarkand doesn't exist anymore, well, not really. It was destroyed by Sin a thousand years ago." She then pushed off the rail. " So nobody plays any Blitzball there anymore."

Now, Sasuke could handle the part of Sin destroying Zanarkand, he was there after all. It was her last four words that hit Sasuke hard however. "... A thousand... no!" He looked the smaller girl in the eye. "There's no way... I saw Sin attack Zanarkand. It couldn't have happened that long ago!" She had to be lying! Sin came, attacked Zanarkand, and took him away less than twenty-four hours ago.

Hinata looked at him sympathetically again and shook her head at him. It couldn't be true, could it? Sasuke looked up at Hinata again, half expecting here to say "Fooled you!" and laugh at him, be it was for not. He turned away from her, stunned into silence, and looked down into the dark murky sea water.

Hinata watched Sasuke sadly. He truely seemed to believe in his own story, but this was the reality of it all and Sin's toxin seemed to have afflicted him severly. Hinata came up beside him, she needed to cheer him up somehow. After a moment of thinking she finally thought of something. "... You said that... you like to play Blitzball, right?" Sasuke nodded numbly. "Maybe you should try going to Luca." she suggested.

Sasuke finally looked at her again. "Luca?"

"Yes, there's a Blitzball tournament coming up and a lot of people are going there. Who knows, someone might recongnize you there."

Sasuke thought about it for a moment. "Why not? I go."

Hinata smiled. "Okay, I'm going to go tell the others." she turned and walked towards the metal doot tht led to the lower decks of the ship, but stopped short. "Oh right, one more thing," Hinata turned to look at Sasuke. She had a firm look in her eyes that up until now, Sasuke hadn't seen from her. "Dn't go around telling people you say you're from Zanarkand. Yevon says its a holly place and it'd upset people." She them smiled again before leaving him alone again.

Sasuke walked back to his previous spot near the cargo crates only this time he leaned on them. He needed time to think, so many questions filled his head and swirled around. At first, he thought all Sin did was took him to a far away place from Zanarkand and that he could get back with out too much of a hastle. What he didn't count on was playing Leap Frog through time. Now getting back seemed like a distant dream. Sasuke's blood was now boiling at what Sin had done to him. The muscles in his jaws tightened and his hand clenched into fists. "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" he screamed before turning and kicking one of the crates.

BOOOM

Sasuke lost his balance an fell backward as something collided with side of the ship. Sasuke hit the guard rail again as some of the Al Bhed came out to see what hit them. Among them was Hinata and that long haired guy who Sasuke seemed to dislike the moment Sasuke saw him.

KerSPLOOOOSHHH

A giant wall of water rose out of the sea, as though a bomb went off suddenly. But the wall didn't die down, it only rose higher before moving quickly towards the ship.

"SIN!"

Sasuke turned to look at the Al Bhed man who was looking out at the towering water. "Sin ec lusa!" another yelled.

The long haired came to the rail to look as well. "Ihtan ic, ihtan ic!"

By then the water tower was apon them as it came crashing down. The Al Bhed all managed to grab hold of something to keep from getting swept away by the water. Sasuke however wasn't lucky. The water crashed down directly in front of him and washed him overboard.

Everything seemed to have moved in slow motion as Sasuke watched Hinata come to the guard rail and look over it to see him falling. Then time resumed at its natural pace when he hit the water and was spinnig inside a whirlpool Sin had created. A few short seconds later, Sasuke was lost to the cold sea.

Okay, that's chapter four. Sorry it took so long to update, I've been running on overdrive as of late and didn't have time. Okay, up top I told you guys the castings so here is why and how they got it.

Tidus/ Sasuke- he got the role because its a SasuNaru fic.

Yuna/ Naruto- same as Sasuke.

Lulu/ Sakura- she got this role because, like Lulu, she's smart. Also, Sakura is usually the voice of reason. Out of the Rookie Nine and Gai Team, she's among the most logical. Not to mention she's got that freakishly strong super strength.

Waka/ Lee- he got this role because everyone know he likes Sakura like Wakka likes Lulu. It's not that I'm a big fan of this pairing, it's just that fuzzy brows needs a lil' love'n in his life. And because a lot people tend to steer clear of this pairing. He also got the role because in a sense, he's like Waka; he's headstrong and can be funny from time to time.

Rikku/ Hinata- I gave this role to Hinata because after the Chunin exams she got herself a back bone. She even became more talkative over time during the series Also, when I compared the number of important Al Bhed (family wise) with the Hyuggas I saw that the two were almost equal in numbers. Cid, Rikku, and Brother to Hiashi, Hinata, Neji, and Hinabi (she'll make her apperance in the X-2 version of my fics).

Auron/ Kakash- like Auron, Kakashi is more mentorish to Sasuke than to anyone else, dispite the obvious backfire, and that in itself is the reason why he got the role. Also, if anyone read the Kakash Gaiden part of the Naruto manga, you'd meet Obito, who was Kakashi's comrade and became his friend at the end of life. The relationship between these to sets of people are near same with or without the differences.

Kimahri/ Shino- to put it simply, he's a complete match. Nowhere near talkative, not the least bit socialble unless its nessesary, and fond of Naruto as a friend. Originally I planned on Iruka to get the part because he's the most protective of Naruto like Kimahri is ti Yuna. Also, Iruka is one of the few adult figuers in the series, and thats another reason why I wanted him at first. But, unfortunatly their were just too many contrasts against him. Kiba didn't get the role because he had too much mouth and wasn't the strong, silent type like Kimahri or Shino.

Now that I've given some reasons, it's time for me to go. I'll update as soon as I can so please review. Bye!
