Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Final Fantasy
Hey guys it's good to see you again. I originally wanted to uplaod this chapter alot faster, but I got a little side tracked but thanks for tuning in and reviewing it means alot. But I'm sure you don't want listen to what I have to say so lets get started with the story.
The Grand Council of Cocoon Chambers
A group of representive from the Military, Royal families, and The People gather around a round table to begin there meeting
The Representative of The People begin to speak
"We have all gather her today to discuss the list of cannidates of who should take the place of Primarch of the Sanctum we have been able to narrow the list of potental cannidates to the two Naruto Uzumaki the hero of Cocoon and Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum the heir to the Caelum Dynasty the most powerful of the royal families. What the representaives will debate on is who do they think should take this position the first to speak will be from the Military.
"It's obvious Naruto Uzumaki should be elected to lead Cocoon we have been in torment from the Fal cie for centuries and now we finally have a warrior to come save us. I say he has earned the right to lead us.
"Interesting point now what does the representative from the Royal families have to say"
"Even though there is truth in what he just said about Uzumaki Naruto, I completely disagree with what he just said. Naruto Uzumaki has no knowledge whatsoever of how to run Cocoon and is not quaified to be a leader. That why the power of Primarch of Sanctum should belong to the Royal families where it belongs.
" That would only put our government in Monarchy"
"And Naruto becoming Primarch isn't? You don't think that his children would take power the moment of his death"
"Nobody said that it's just-"
"Enough let us continue we have also talked bout the fighting skills of the cannidates we all know of what Naruto Uzumaki can do but what of your Prince
"The Prince is far more skilled then you might think but for time being I think it would best to hold my silence on his abilities"
"You royals with your secerts, it doesn't out much faith in his fighting skills if your not willing to talk about"
"And Uzumaki Naruto doesn't"
"Well from what we've seen he processes an arsunel of abilities we have never seen in this world before and the fact that he can summon thousand of version of himself in battle. Hell we should just call him a one man army literally"
"An army that poofs the moment it's struck as I have heard"
The two continued to go back and forth until the Chamber speaker had enough of the argue.
"That enough, were obiviously not going to come to an agreement so I think it would be best to suspend this meeting until we can get in contact with both Prince Noctis and Naruto Uzumaki"
Meanwhile back at the Wedding Reception
"Noctis I really don't think this is a really good time, Naruto and I were in the middle of a conversation" Lightning says to the Prince
"Oh, I'm sure you two can get back to your conversation later and besides your sister has been looking for you, I wouldn't leave the happy bride waiting if I were you"
"Fine, Naruto I'll talk to you later okay" Lightning says to Naruto before leaving him and Noctis in search of her little sister.
After Lightning left Naruto and Noctis alone, Naruto just stood their never taking his eyes off Noctis. Their was something about this man that just pissed him off either it was the fact he look just like his former rival or his supposed relationship he might have with Lightning. Either way just being this close to this man made his blood boil. Noctis could almost feel Naruto glare and decided to try and use his feelings against him.
"She very beautiful isn't she?" Noctis says
"What!?"Naruto asked
"Lightning, shes very beautiful, I'm sure you have noticed since you two were comrades correct"
"Just what the hell are you getting at" Naruto says now glaring at Noctis
"Oh nothing, I'm sorry I haven't properly intruduce myself my name is Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum" Noctis says while offering his hand out to for a handshake.
Naruto just stood there not really sure what to do at the moment just a second ago this man was commenting on how beautiful his former girlfriend was and now he was offering his hand and introducing himself politely. At that moment Naruto was debating in his head to either shake this mans hand like a reasonble adult or punch him in the face.
"Is there something wrong?" Noctis asked
Naruto broke out of his thinking when he realized he was taking too long to respond to him. Naruto then shoke Noctis hand deciding it was best to be polite now at least until he figured out what his relationship with Lightning
"I'm-"Naruto begins to say but was interrupted
"Naruto Uzumaki the great hero of Cocoon" Noctis says
"Huh, excuse me?"
"It's embarrassing to say this but I am a huge fan of yours Naruto Uzumaki I know everything there is to know about you"
"What about me?"
"That's right the people of Cocoon has been quite taken with you, giving the fact that you helped free Cocoon from the Fal cie. And also the fact that you came from no where and becomes a hero. Some has even call you some kind of a prophet sent to Cocoon to lead, and the rumors that you are from a completly different world all together"
It was true Naruto has been getting alot of attention since they defeated the Fal cie, but he never really gave it much thought about it.
"So why did you want to talk to me about anyways?"
"About the future of course"
"Huh, what future?"
"The future of Cocoon, it's leadership, the people and Lightning"
Naruto wasn't sure where Noctis was going with this. Was he just another member those Royal families trying to take the Primarch place or was he a polital idealist trying to reform the Cocoon government. Either way why was he talking to him about it and what did Lightning have to do with this.
"What about Lightning?"
"Well as you can see the Cocoon government has been rapidly changing in the past months and new leadership is needed, your the great hero of Cocoon I wanted to get your input on this issue."
"I don't have one, and beside you haven't answered my question"
"About Lightning, come on now Uzumaki you really didn't think that your the only one the people of Cocoon idolizes. Lightning is also has become admired by the public"
"So what are you saying that Lightning is supposed to be a politcal figure in the future?"
The thought of Lightning getting involved with something like was so out of place Naruto couldn't put that image in his head. The solidier girl he fell in love with being stuck in that kind of position was almost laughable.
"Well of course, you may have not realized but you andher alone can gain the favor of the people in an instant and with that kind of influence great things can be done for Cocoon"
Naruto had to admit that there was truth in what he was saying, Naruto has become quite famous since they saved Cocoon and was recieving the reckonigtion he always want even though he originally wanted it from his home Village.
"So what about it"
"To be completely honest with you I want to use that influence to help the people of Cocoon with Lightning by my side"
"What!?"
"Thats right Uzumaki I intend to become the new Primarch of Cocoon and I wish to take Lightning as my bride. I wish for your support Uzumaki with your help we make a brighter future for the people of Cocoon."
"What the hell are you talking about and just what is your relationship with Lightning anyways?"
Noctis looked at Naruto innocently as if he did not know that what he was saying was getting to Naruto
"I see you don't know then do you?"
"Know what!?"
"Uzumaki I didn't what to be the one to have to tell you this, but have you notice the change in Lightnings attitude towards you and the way her sister has been acting around you as if there hiding something"
"Yes what is it, whats wrong with Lightning tell me!" Naruto asked now starting to get scared of what answer might come from this man"
"Uzumaki, Lightning is pregnant"
Naruto stood there shocked he couldn't believe what he just heard
"What...did...you...say?"
"That's right Uzumaki she's pregnant"
Now everything was starting to make sense now, the way Lightning was acting around him, the big secret her sister was keeping from him, and how Lightning has been constantly avoiding him every chance he tried to talk to her and the strange dreams he's been having the past couple of months. Of course it makes perfect sense his Eclair Farron was pregnant with his child.
Naruto turned and began to run off in search of Lightning but was stopped by Noctis
"Don't be in such a rush Uzumaki" Noctis says
Naruto then turned around to face him again
"Noctis look, I'm not very good a this manners things and I don't know how to say goodbye to you Royal types, but I got to talk to Lightning right away so if you excuse me" Naruto said as he turned around once more but was stopped again by Noctis.
"That what I wanted to talk to you about Uzumaki, it's about the baby"
"What about the baby!?"
"Uzumaki I'm sorry to say this to you but I am the father of the baby"
"What!?"
"It's true Uzumaki, I'm sorry to tell you, I know that you have feelings for her and I know that this must be hard for you to hear but I am the father of the baby. Lightning and I have been together for these past months and I intend to take her as my bride once the baby is born"
What Noctis just told Naruto crushed him, a second ago all Naruto hopes were being lifted only to be crushed once again
"You and her how?"
"It happened shortly after she began to work under me, but since the first time I saw her I've been in love with her. I only hope you can understand"
"No....I-I don't believe this I don't believe you!
"Really, just think about it Uzumaki why would she act so coldly towards you, why would she reject you, why would she avoid you every chance she got. And just think about it in the time of your "supposed" relationship has she ever once said that she loves you"
Now that Naruto thought about it, even after everything he's been through with Lightning she never did tell him that she loves him. He told her he loved her all the time but she never return the words to him. Even though that never bother Naruto he could help but think about what Noctis said.
"Did she ever love me, is this the real reason why she said no when I propose to her? So she could be with this guy" Naruto thinks to himself
At that moment Naruto just felt digusted with himself, falling in love with another women who could never love him back. He felt pathic like he doomed to stay trap in this endless cycle ending with his heart broken.
"Uzumaki I hope you realized who I am and what I can offer Lightning and I'm sure that you would want what is best for her."
Naruto continue to just stand there wishing that he never heard what Noctis just said
"And if you truly love her, I can assume that you would let her live her life to be happy, I am I right?"
Naruto didn't have answer for what Noctis just said, he knew in his heart that it would be best for Lightning to be with so one like Noctis. He could offer her and the baby more than Naruto could ever dream of. Naruto felt like Lightning deserved the best the world had to offer her after everything she and Serah been through and if this guy could offer her that then Naruto felt he should be all for it but at that moment he couldn't think about anything at that moment he could think about anything except how much he wanted to get the hell away from there, away from Cocoon, away from Pulse, just get as far away as he possible could.
Naruto then turn to leave Noctis in search of Sazh, he was so fed up with losing out on everything, did he not deserve to happy too. When Naruto finally reach Sazh he was in the middle the conversation with Snow and Serah.
"I'm sorry guys but Me and Sazh have got to get going" Naruto says interrupting the conversation.
"What are you kinding the Wedding party just got start we haven't even open presents yet." Snow says
"I know I'm sorry but something has come up and I got to get going right away"
"Whats wrong Naruto did you get your chance to talk to Lightning?" Serah asked
"Yeah a little bit I'm sorry but we have to go were in a rush"
"Naruto what happened whats wrong with you?" Sazh asked feeling a little concern over Naruto new attitude.
"Nothing wrong Sazh trust me but we got to get going now"
"Well I'm staying we came all the way over here for the Wedding and now you just want to leave?"
"Fine you want to stay here so baddly then stay but I'm getting the hell out of here" Naruto says as he leaves in the direction of the Airship
Snow, Serah and Sazh looked at each other with concern looks on there face.
"You guys don't worry I'll go with him and find out whats wrong, you two just enjoy your day alright"
Sazh rushes off to catch up with Naruto when he does he looks at his face and could see the hurt look in his eyes
"So Naruto what are we in such a rush to anyway?" Sazh asked Naruto
"Were going to Gran Pulse ruins, I'm going home"
That's the end of the chapter folks I would like to appologies for not uploading as quick as I could I start earlier this week but never got around to it I hope that you can forgive me. And to all the Noctis fans out there I hope that your not offended by me making him the villian of this story and I have nothing personal agianst him I just think that he fit the villian role, and one last side note this is about the most sappy this story is going to get we I was writing this chapter I was thinking to myself that this feels like an old soup opera and I FUCKING HATE SOUP OPERAS. Not that I going to stop the with the drama I'm just going to tone it down just a little. And recieved a review from one my readers(sorry if I couldn't remember you name) telling me how much they hate love triangle and I got to tell ya I right there with you. I can't stand love triagle I think that it's misleading, it's insulting to your audience and beside 90% of the writers who put love triangle in there stories do it in such a half ass way that it makes you want burn the FUCKING book. But getting back to the point this story is and always will be Naruto/Lightning so don't worry. Anyways that's I all I got to say hope you all enjoy the chapter, sorry it took so long hope to update soon. God is Love Peace out.
