Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Final Fantasy
Hi guys great to see you again, I'm glad to that ya'll haven't gotten bored with the story yet. I have completed this chapter 7 on time as promised. I will try to upload these chapters a little faster but I can't make any promises. So lets get started with the chapter.
Lightning was standingshocked before Naruto taking in what he had just said
"Naruto what did you just say?" Lightning asked
"I said that I think that I have found a way to go home, remember those ruins in Pulse where you guys found me" Naruto answered
"The Taejin towers?"
"Yeah I think those statue things summoned my here from my world"
"How can they summon you from another world?"
"Summons is not very uncommon where I'm from, but I do remember that when I first got came here I remember those statues telling me that I was summoned to help free Cocoon from destruction, even though I didn't understand what they meant at the time.
"So how are you going to return to you home then Naruto?"
"Sazh figures that I was summoned to this world using the same portal we used to travel between Cocoon and Pulse if I went back to those ruins in Gran Pulse. Sazh might get the coordinates that was used to summoned me here.
"Really?"
"Yeah even though I don't understand a word of what he was talking about when he first told me, but Sazh understands it enough so I'm sure that he can figure it out"
"Thats great Naruto I'm happy you can finally return home and live out your dreams"
"Hold on wait, I haven't really decided to go back just yet"
"What are you talking about Naruto, you finally have a chance to go back home why wouldn't you want to go back"
"Because Sazh told me if I do return home there might not be a chance to come back to Cocoon. Eclair things are different now I have a new life here, I can't just walk away from everybody I gotten so close to. Over the past few years you guys have become my family I don't want to just turn my back on ya'll forever, I don't want to turn my back on us forever either"
"Naruto...I..." Lightning began to say but was interrupted by Naruto
"Eclair listen, I know theres still a chance for us, I don't want to turn my back on you, I love you more then I ever thought I could love someone, and we both know you still have some feelings for me aswell.
This all just to much for Lightning to take in, a moment ago she was just about to inform Naruto that he was going to be a father and now he just told her that he found a way to return to his home and live out his dream he told her so much about. If she didn't tell him she would be keeping her child and father seperated but if she did tell him. He would refuse to leave Cocoon and be stuck in this world forever instantly killing his dream and leaving in a position where he might grow to resent her child and her aswell, this was an imposible decision for Lightning to make.
"Naruto...I'm...I"m sorry but I have moved on, you should do the same"
"Eclair listen" Naruto began to say but was interrupted by Lightning this time
"No you listen, don't be an idiot, don't waste away your life for someone who doesn't love you"
"That's not true Eclair I know"
"No Naruto your just lying to yourself, tring to convince yourself that I might fell the same way, but I'm telling you right here face to face I do not love you Naruto Uzumaki your wasting your time trying to think other wise, GO HOME!!!" Lightning says to Naruto before storming off but if Naruto was able to see her face he would of notice the tears falling from her eyes as she tries to get as far away from everyone as possible.
Meanwhile with the rest of the group
"So your saying that Naruto has a chance to return to his home?" Snow asked
"Yeah if we can get back to those ruins he might" Sazh says
"That's awful, you mean he just going to leave us all" Vanille says
"No Naruto would do that, I'm not sure if he decided to leave just yet"
"What about Lightning what's she going to do if Naruto leaves?" Serah says
"You know Lightning, I'm sure she would be fine Serah"
"No that's not what I meant"
"Huh?"
"You guys may not not know yet but Lightning is...." Serah began to say but was interrupted
"Lightning is what Serah?" Naruto asked with a concern look on his face
"Oh it's nothing Naruto, don't worry about it"
Just by looking at Serah, Naruto could tell she was hiding something important from him and what ever it was, it was probly the reason why Lightning was acting so cold to him lately.
"Serah look I love your big sister and if there is something going on with her please tell me" Naruto says
"Naruto I'm sorry but I promised Lightning I wouldn't tell, just please Naruto give her some more time I'm sure she'll tell you herself.
After that for the time being Naruto decided that it was best to leave Lightning alone for now. And the rest began to set up the wedding even with everybody feeling tension between Naruto and Lightning as far as the getting the wedding set up, it worked out even better then everyone could of hoped for. Serah finally found her the perfect wedding dress with the help of Vanille, it seemed that Vanille was alot better at helping finding dresses then Lightning was. While Fang, Hope, and Lightning help get supplys for the wedding, and Sazh, Snow, and Naruto helped set up the reception, which proved to be very easy since Naruto could use his shadow clones which saved alot of time and not mention money. While every thing was getting set up Naruto and Lightning was still keeping their distance from each other, Naruto decided it would be best to give her space since every time he would go to her she would just push away. Naruto still had alot to think about now that he might of found a way to return home the thought of him leaving Cocoon became more and more a possiblity and the way Lightning has been acting toward him.
Meanwhile at the Caelum royal palace
Lightning was busy the entire week it seemed to just drag on with the wedding getting closer and closer, and I also having to start her job working with the Prince as well, but Lightning was keeping herself busy was the only way to keep herself from thinking about Naruto so she didn't really complain about it. Lightning was currently going over the lastest document statesment of the royal family spending, it appears that hte royal families have been buying as much land as possible it seems they were trying to buy their way into power. And the fact that the Prince was the one making these purchases of land in the name of the royal family only complicated matters. Lightning continued to eye over the paper work unti the Prince walked in the room to greet Lightning
"Hello Lightning it's good to see your keeping yourself busy"
"Oh hello Prince, I was just finallizing the document statement, it seems that your family has been making alot purchases of land"
"You can let my receptionist take care of that, I came here to ask you a question"
"What is it Prince?"
"You know that blond hair man by the name of Naruto Uzumaki, the man who helped your gang of friends defeat the Fal-cie, are you still in contact with him?"
"Why do you want to know of Naruto for?"
"Well you see the Grand Counsel of Cocoon has been listing a number of cannidates to see who will take over the late GalenthDysley place and his name came up, you may not of realized but your comrade has become the hero of the people of Cocoon"
"Excuse me!?"
"Oh yes, strange warrior from a new distance world comes and aids a gang of rebel l'cie and frees Cocoon from destruction, the Counsel has been quite taken by this man, enough to even some members of the Counsel to suggest that he should take the place of the next Primarch of the Sanctum"
"Really, you can't be serious"
"Oh but I am and to be honest the Counsel has suggested my name aswell, I would like to meet this Naruto and talk to him if I could"
"Really I don't know where you two could meet since he travels so much now"
"I know, how about your sister wedding reception I could be your date and meet him then"
"MY DATE!? I don't think it's nessary-" Lightning began to say but was interrupted
"It's decided then, I will ecsort you to your sister wedding reception" Noctis says he turns around leaves Lightning there
Prince Noctis continued to walk along the halls of the palace until he reach his chambers to meet a man waiting for him.
Prince Noctis Chambers
"So is everything going as planned?" the man asked
"Yes, no one is ecspecting a thing everything is going as planned" Noctis answered
"Has the preparation have been made in the ruins of Gran Pulse?" Noctis asked
"Yes sir, everything has been prepared and waiting, but I do have question to ask you Prince Noctis"
"What is it?"
"Why bother with the girl?"
"You mean Lightning, I need her to achieve my goals with the counsel, but first I need get this Naruto Uzumaki out of the picture, along with his basterd child Lightning is currently carrying, and once their both out of the way I will take Eclair Farron as my Queen and the Counsel will have no choice but to announce me as the new Primarch of Sanctum."
"Is that so Prince?"
"Yes and that's why when Naruto Uzumaki and Sazh Katroy makes their way to Gran Pulse, make sure that they don't come back alive"
"It will be done Prince, I will make sure that they breath their last breath on Gran pulse." the man says bowing and leaving the Prince in his chambers
Meanwhile Lightning was traveling back home the Royal palace lost in her own thoughts. There was always something about Noctis that put her on edge, the ways he would look at her to his shady deals he would make to how everyone treated him like God. And what was that talk about Naruto being considered as the next Primarch by the Grand Counsel, sure she knew that the people of Cocoon was quite taken by him and the fact that he was never a l'cie to began with only boasted his popularity even though Lightning would never let that get to his head. But the Councel actually councidering him the next Primarch? Given the fact that Naruto has now found a way to return home, Lightning thought it would be best that to keep that information from him and the baby aswell.
Later on that week continued to be even more stressful for Lightning but to her surprise she didn't encounter Noctis at all some that at least put her at ease, but one of the bad things was that her pregnacy was begining to show, it wasn't too noticible she could still ware most of clothes but nothing that she used to wear that showed off her belly, and with Naruto always around she had to try even harder to hid it from him.
Wedding reception
" Everyone has worked very hard on preparing for the wedding at went off with bang, Lightning was extremly proud of her little sister and amazed at how beautiful she could be.
Everyone was also enjoying the wedding as well all except for Naruto of course. Even though when he first saw Lightning in her bridesmaid gown he couldn't take his eyes off oh her. He thought she was the most beautiful thing he ever seen, he couldn't help but wonder what she would look like in her own wedding dress. But those thoughts were immediately crush the second he saw Lightnings Raven haired escort.
"The moment Naruto set his eyes on him, only one word came up in his mind "Sasuke" and even though he knew that these were two different people altogether, those familer feelings of heart break were coming back to him.
"Is this what Eclair meant when she said she moved on? Is this the reason she doesn't want to be with me? Is this the big secret everyones been keeping from me?"
Things were all coming together for Naruto the way people have been acting around him to the way that Lightning has been treating him and ignoring him, it was so obvious that Lightning had moved on to another man. And not only for the second time in Naruto's life he lost the women he loved to man who looked the same as last man who took the heart of the women he loved.
The rest of the reception went along smoothly for everybody except for Naruto who seemed to sneak off by himself the moment the wedding vows was over. While everyone else was enjoying the wedding reception Lightning was currently wondering where Naruto wounder off to and went to look for him leaving Noctis to mingle with every one else. She finally found him sitting by himself on the railings.
"Hey, so this is where you wounder off to" Lightning says as she approaches him
Naruto hears Lightning but doesn't turn around to face her
"Naruto you have been acting strange lately what's wrong'
"Nothing it's just nothing" Naruto responded
"Naruto just tell me already"
"Well it's just that...that if you wanted to be with him you could of just told me!"
Lightning was taken back by what Naruto had just said to her
"Huh, be with who?"
"You know that Raven haired guy you came here with"
"What Noctis, Naruto listen Noctis is just my-" Lightning began to say untill she was interrupted
"Naruto Uzumaki, I finally found you" come from a familier voice
They both turn around to see Prince Noctis standing there
"Lightning if you would excuse us for a moment I have something to decuss with Naruto"
What will Noctis talk to Naruto about? Who is the man helping the Prince? What is waiting for Naruto and Sazh on Gran Pulse. Will Naruto ever know the truth? Tune in next time and find out. Okay I'm sorry that was overly dramatic and I know that alot of my readers have been wondering when Lightning finally going to tell Naruto the news of the baby. I know you guys have been very patient and I thank you for that. I don't want to spoil what I have planned but I assure you it's coming alot sooner then you think. I just need a little time because I have alot of story to tell and when Naruto finally finds out the news of the baby it's going to be a huge plot point, but trust me it is coming soon okay. As for Noctis I'm going to make his true intention reveal more and more through out the course of the story and as far as the man helping him I'm going to let that be a surprise but trust me it's good. So anyways I thank you guys for reading make sure to review and remember the more reviews this story receives the faster I can write and upload these chapters(HINT HINT), until next time. God is Love
