A/N : Second chap is up! I thank you all for the reviews! This isnt as good as the first, regrettably. I dont own NAruto and FFX-2.

-Chamber of the Fayth(?)-

Silence hung in the air…Several minutes passed as the Gullwings stared at the armor-clad Knight. It was during those moments that they finally managed to take a closer look at Naruto. His armor wasn't bulky but fitted him well, signifying a lean physique. Instead of the colour black, his armor was a dark purple with horns on his pauldrons, a streak of red from his left pauldron to his left gauntlet, a sword sheath on his back accompanied with a small purple and black shield and finally, his helmet had a visor and the lower half could be shifted apart meaning that his face could be seen when they were moved aside and on it was a pair of curved horns. All in all, he looked very intimidating…except for the smile on his face…and the pearly whites…and was the air sparkling around him?

The Gullwing girls took a wary step back as the Dark Aeon Knight stayed in his bowing position. "Yunie…do you know this guy?" Rikku mumbled towards Yuna but she shook her head slowly. Paine somehow managed to get her nerves back and she took an experimental swing of her blade before pointing the tip towards the Knight. "How are supposed to know you are what you say you are? For all we know, you're one of the Dark Aeons seeking revenge against Yuna. Especially since she managed to beat most of you."

Although it couldn't be seen, Naruto had a small grin on his face before rising up from his position. "You wish for me to show proof? Proof that I am who I claim to be?" He nodded more to himself than to the girls. His helmet dissipated into black and purple flakes. His stabbed blade shrunk to the size of a knife which he quickly flipped a few times to get a feel for it. With that done, his armour dissipated into flakes as well leaving him in black pants, open toed sandals and an orange coloured vest with black diagonal stripes and underneath that vest was a magic circle. A summoning circle, to be exact.

Yuna's eyes widened at the sight while Rikku turned green at it. The magic circle slowly shifted and changed colours before settling on a winged figure…Valefor. Naruto grunted and the image of the winged Aeon came to life before it shrunk into a single writing most likely used in ancient times.(Kanji) If it was read properly, it would be 'Winged Terror' or should the Al Bhed read it, it would be 'Majestic Beast of the Sky'. The kanji and the circle disappeared and melded into his skin. His pale skin turned brighter, several rings linked together appeared on his left ear lobe, his spiky hair flattened and grew at a fast rate while slowly turning into a bright red coulour, a pair of clawed greaves appeared on his legs and finally, two large massive wings burst out from his back, flapping all the while until he was a few inches off the ground.

He bowed once more, his voice which was deep and powerful was now soft and almost melodic…like a bird. "My lady…I believe…this is proof?" Yuna stared up in shock. Those eyes…that voice…that hair… Valefor? Yuna walked over towards the now transformed Knight and held his face with her small hands taking in the features of Valefor-Naruto. The Knight closed his eyes and floated back to the ground, his wings and other features disappeared and turned into pyreflies before fusing together. Behind Naruto, was a figure all too familiar to two of the Gullwings. It was the first Aeon summoners would have and the first to get attached to. The ethereal form of Valefor let out a cry and it quickly turned into a single pyrefly which circled around Yuna and Naruto before entering the body of the latter.

"Told you…" Naruto fainted and fell in the arms of Yuna who was still holding onto Naruto's face until a few moments ago. "Eep!" Yuna squeaked, looked around and quickly flushed at the amused faces of Rikku and Paine(although she had her back turned, it was still evident by the slight shaking if her shoulders). Sigh…She had a feeling this would not go well…

-Celsius, Deck-

"I disagree! I want that..that…person off my ship!"

"And I have to disagree… His aura is quite different. He requires further research."

"I don't really care. If he knows Yuna then doesn't that make him a friend?"

"Eteud! That pink bitch knows Yuna and she wants to…to…What's that word?"

"Kill? Demolish? Sabotage?"

"Yes! Any of those words will do!"

The three males upon the ship were in a heated discussion over the 'guest' that the three girls brought. With the way Yuna was holding him, Brother was quick to jump to a conclusion that the blonde had seduced Yuna to bring him on the ship in an 'injured state' so he can steal their spheres!...Though when he brought that up, Yuna stared at him with eyes that made him want to run away.

"They're making too big of a fuss over him…"

"It's Brother…What do you expect?"

Rikku nodded and hopped off the railing she was on before tapping her cousin on the shoulder who was seemingly lost In thought. "Yunie! Do you know him?"

"Hmm? What was that?" Yuna turned around and looked over Rikku with glazed eyes. What happened in that chamber still filled her mind. It was…weird to see all that happen but it was all too familiar…Valefor…How long was it since she had communicated with her first Aeon? Her first Aeon to help her in battle… And this man…He had 'summoned' Valefore and fused with it. Dark Aeon Knight…The Dark Aeons…One grueling battle after another…They were the battles which made them go past their limits. There were times when she thought she might die but then he came running for her. He came to save her…With his blue eyes…and his blonde hair…It was hard to miss him…That was why she approached Naruto. In that moment, he looked exactly like him but with subtle and yet, not too subtle differences.

"Missh Yoona, he ish awake!"

"Eh? That fast?" Not caring or noticing that Rikku was leaning on Yuna's back, she ran off to the elevator to talk to Naruto. With a yelp and a squeak, Rikku fell to the ground while Paine smirked at the sight.

"Come on…I wanna talk to him too…Boys! The guy's awake…" Paine walked over to RIkku and grabbed her by the crook of her arm and pulled her up, ignoring the sniffles of the young Al Bhed. She was in no mood for Rikku's 'blubbering'. Sighing, she grabbed RIkku and looked her over, ignoring her surprised yell. Finding a red spot on the blonde's forehead, she rolled her eyes and kissed it once to silence the young girl. "P-Paine!?"

Using what little of the Al Bhed language she knew, Paine muttered out a "…Crid ib…" which Rikku for once In her life, followed the command.

-Celsius, Cabin-

Naruto was in awe. It wasn't everyday that you get to see clouds from a very high point. He had been sealed for a very long while. How long? He didn't know. He remembered the destruction of Zanarkand, the many defeats of Sin, the long and hard battle of Yuna and her guardians…and that was it… His memories were hazy…He knew he was the Fayth…but he wasn't a summon either. But one thing was for sure…He had the ability to combine with them.

Sighing, he ran his hand through his hair and scratched his cheek absentmindedly before his hand rested his knife. "Huh…" He flipped it around a few times before spinning it around by the tip. He tensed, however, when he heard footsteps rush up the stairs. Clutching the knife, he waited…and he pounced!

"Raaaaah!"

"Eek!"

"L-lady Yuna!" Naruto panicked and he quickly stood up, stored the knife in a small sheath by his side and helped her up and fussed over her like a servant to his/her master. He dusted her clothes off with her hand, not noticing that Yuna had a very evident blush on her face as his hands kept brushing against her breasts and bum.

"There! All clean, milady! I'm sorry for attacking you. I thought it was the enemy!"

Taking deep calming breaths, Yuna placed a hand over her heart and looked Naruto in the eye. "I want answers…"

Immediately, he answered. "Yes, my lady!"

"Um…You…don't need to call me that. Just call me Yuna. I'm no longer a summoner."

Cocking his head to the side with brows furrowed. He nodded albeit reluctantly. "Very well…Yuna…" It was an uncomfortable feeling to just say her name without a title but if she wishes it, he had to follow.

"Yunie!" Rikku tackle-hugged Yuna from behind and behind her were the rest of the Gullwing crew walking at a slower rate while Brother was eyeing Naruto critically all the while. The blonde shifted slightly, a bit uncomfortable at the stares from the Gullwings even more so when the girls moved closer ready to start their interrogation.

Rikku was the one who started it. "So..um…who are you supposed to be?"

Naruto stood up straight and bowed deeply. "I have already introduced myself to you three..But with the new arrivals, I will do so once more. I am Naruto, the Dark Aeon Knight. And I have been tasked to join your crew in finding spheres. "

"…But why? We've just met and we certainly don't trust you just yet."

Naruto nodded slowly. "I understand. Trust is everything between an Aeon and it's summoner. All I ask is you let me do my job."

"Your job?"

"I have been assigned by the leaders of the Farplane to aid you three in your mission for in the future, you will be faced with a trial. A trial that you must face. I am here to aid you. To give you my power. As the Fayth and as a Dark Knight."

"You mentioned that In the cavern as well. What do you mean by…You are the Fayth?"

Naruto's expression grew grim and he lowered his head slightly which caused his bangs to cast a shadow over his face. "I cannot say. I have no memories of my past other than my name and my mission…and It is also not my place to tell you." Yuna, Rikku and Paine sighed in unison before looking up at Naruto who had a thoughtful look on his face. "What's the matter?"

"There's…a sphere…Somewhere in Killika island…In the Chamber of the Fayth…"

"What! How do you know this!?" Brother practically screeched his question which made the others flinch. "I can sense certain spheres and this one has a special feature about it…Something…familiar…"

Yuna looked over at Buddy who took out something similar to a PDA. "He's right! It's weak but there's definitely a sphere! I say we get it before other sphere hunters swarm the place!"

The girls looked over at each other and nodded before looking at Naruto. "You're right. There is a sphere but we still can't trust you so we want you to…" Paine was interrupted by Rikku's bubbly voice. "So you're coming with us, big boy!" Rikku grabbed Yuna's and NAruto's wrists and dragged them off to get ready.
