Final Fantasy X (Naruto Style!). Rikku.
(Note: So in 2012, I made an announcement chapter telling you guys that I was going to be doing a remake of Final Fantasy X (Naruto Style!). In that discussion, I asked you guys on who I should cast as Rikku in the remake between Ino and Naruto. Well, I made my decision and decided that Naruto is going to be Rikku in the remake of Final Fantasy X (Naruto Style!). Just to let you know, this chapter is not about me continuing the story because obviously I said that I was doing a remake because I wanted to improve on my writing, and because I have new characters who will be playing Lulu, Wakka, and Rikku. Now, in this chapter, I'm going to show you what the scenes with Naruto as Rikku will be like. (*SPOILERS FOR FINAL FANTASY X.*) One scene is going to be when Tidus and Rikku reunite at the Moonflow and Rikku becomes one of Yuna's guardians, and the other scene takes place that when the party (Auron, Kimahri, Lulu, Rikku, Tidus, Wakka and Yuna) reaches Zanarkand (where Yuna has to get the final aeon), Rikku tries to convince Yuna to quit her pilgrimage because once a summoner gets the final aeon, not only do they (the summoner) get killed by Sin, but also by the final aeon. Of course, Rikku (along with Tidus who falls in love with Yuna) doesn't want Yuna to die because that's her cousin and she doesn't want to lose her. Anyway, tell me what you think, and I hope you like it.)

~ Reunion With Rikku. ~
After the Al Bhed tried to kidnap Sakura, but Jiraiya and Sasuke successfully stopped their plan and saved her, the Shoopuf (which was like an elephant) dropped them off at the wharf and continued on with Sakura's pilgrimage.
That is, until the party found a person washed up on the road next to a lake.
"You're… not dead?" Sasuke asked as the figure (a boy) took off their outfit and goggles in front of Sasuke.
"I almost died back there," the boy said as he fell to the ground on his knees.
"Wait a minute! I know who you are! You're Naruto Uzumaki, the one who saved me at Baaj Ruins! You're alive! How've you been?" Sasuke wondered, happy to see Naruto.
"How've I been? How've I been? You're asking me how I've been?" Naruto looked at Sasuke angrily. "If you want to know how I've been, Sasuke, I felt terrible because I was worried sick about you! When Sin separated us, I thought you were dead! Yeah! That's how I've been! Thank you so much for asking!"
"Whoa. Calm down, man. You don't have to have an attitude with me. By the way, why are you so grumpy? What happened to you? You don't look so good," said Sasuke.
"Oh, and the reason why I don't look so good is because you beat me up, Sasuke, remember? I almost died because of you!" Naruto pointed a finger at Sasuke, still mad at him.
"Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that that machina… was you? You were the one who tried to kidnap Sakura?" Sasuke questioned.
"Hey! I wasn't trying to kidnap her! I was trying to save her so the Final Aeon wouldn't kill her after she would defeat Sin!" cried Naruto.
"Wait, what?" asked Sasuke.
"Oh, never mind! Anyway, you really hurt me back there, you big jerk!" exclaimed Naruto rubbing his forehead and making a fist at Sasuke.
"Hey! You attacked us!" Sasuke responded, getting confused with the situation.
"No! It's not really what you think, Sasuke," said Naruto.
"Sasuke!" came the voice of Jiraiya as he, Tsunade, Sakura, Kakashi, and Yamato joined Naruto and Sasuke.
"Sasuke, who is this boy? Is he a friend of yours?" Jiraiya quizzed.
"Well, I guess you could say that he's my friend," Sasuke replied, rubbing the back of his head.
"Pleased to meet you! I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto said, introducing himself with a grin.
"Tsunade, Sakura… I told you about Naruto, remember? He was the one who saved me before I got washed up on Besaid. He's an Al Bhe-"
Sasuke was about to tell Tsunade and Sakura that Naruto was an Al Bhed. However, Yevonites like Jiraiya hated the Al Bhed because his younger brother, Madara was killed by the Al Bhed machina the year before. Luckily, Naruto put his right hand over Sasuke's mouth so he wouldn't reveal Naruto's heritage.
"Be quiet, Sasuke! You'll blow my cover! Remember I told you not to tell anyone that I was an Al Bhed?" whispered Naruto so no one could hear them.
"Right. Sorry."
Naruto stopped covering Sasuke's mouth.
"Naruto's a what?" asked Jiraiya.
"Oh! Nothing!" Naruto responded nervously with a chuckle and anime sweat dropped.
"Okay… Anyway, wow! So, Sasuke, I guess you owe Naruto your life, huh? It's great that you met up with him again. Praise be to Yevon," Jiraiya said, doing the Yevon prayer. "So, Naruto, you look hurt. Are you alright?"
"Um… Jiraiya…," Tsunade called Jiraiya.
"Huh? What? What is it, Tsunade?" asked Jiraiya.
"There's something that we have to talk about with Naruto," Sakura responded.
"Oh. Sure. We're listening," Jiraiya answered. Naruto walked to where Jiraiya and Sasuke were standing. Tsunade and Sakura were right behind Naruto.
"Sorry, but only I can talk with the girls. The others, please wait over there," Naruto spoke.
"Right. Sorry, Jiraiya," said the apologetic Tsunade as she, Sakura, and Naruto left Jiraiya, Kakashi, Yamato, and Sasuke alone.
"Hey! Tsunade! That's not fair!" cried Jiraiya with anime bulging white eyes.
"Just let it go, Jiraiya. Maybe the girls want to get to know Naruto. Besides, he is a good friend of mine," Sasuke replied.
Jiraiya sighed.
Meanwhile, in a private conversation with Naruto, Tsunade, and Sakura…
"Are you sure, Naruto?" Sakura questioned.
"Yes," Naruto answered.
"Alright. Very well, then," Tsunade said as the trio walked up to Kakashi.
"Sir Kakashi? I would like Naruto to be my guardian," Sakura offered.
Kakashi looked at Naruto.
"Show me your face, Naruto," said Kakashi.
"Huh?" asked Naruto.
"Look at me," Kakashi responded.
"Oh. Okay," Naruto answered, looking at Kakashi with his eyes closed.
"Open your eyes, Naruto."
Naruto responded to Kakashi's voice and opened one eye.
"Hmph. Just as I suspected," Kakashi declared.
"Is that a no?" Naruto asked.
"Do you want it to be a no?" Kakashi quizzed.
"No. I was hoping you'd say yes about me becoming Sakura's guardian," Naruto added.
"Well, it's up to Sakura. Sakura?" asked Kakashi who looked at Sakura.
"Yes. I want Naruto to become my guardian," Sakura answered.
Jiraiya pouted.
"Like I said, Jiraiya, Naruto's a good friend of mine. He helped me before I got washed up on Besaid," Sasuke said.
"Yep!" Naruto exclaimed with a grin.
"Well I'm for it. The more, the merrier," Jiraiya spoke.
"Right! Then I guess I'll have to be the merriest!" Naruto cried.
"To me, it felt weird. Although I knew that Jiraiya always hated the Al Bhed…" ~ Sasuke.
"Naruto Uzumaki, at your service, dattebayo! Believe it!" Naruto declared.
"…He never knew that Naruto was one of them." ~ Sasuke.
~ "Yuna, I say no!" ~
"Sakura, I say no! If we go down there, then you'll…," Naruto cried out to Sakura, his cousin. Naruto knew that Sakura would die at the end of her pilgrimage after it would be over.
"Naruto. You are a true friend, and I thank you, but… I must go… down, to Zanarkand," Sakura said, sadly.
"I'm not saying we shouldn't go. But don't you think we should talk about this some more? There has to be another way we can save you, Sakura!" exclaimed Naruto.
"All my life, I had a feeling this day would come," answered Sakura.
"Sakura-chan…," Naruto said, on the verge of crying as Sakura came to comfort and hug her cousin while a sphere slipped down her shorts and fell on the ground.
"Thank you, Naruto. Thank you so much for everything. Always remember that you're my cousin, and I love you. After I'm gone, please take good care of Sasuke," said Sakura almost crying herself.
"Don't say that, Sakura-chan! It's not over yet!" Naruto said while Sasuke became sad knowing that Sakura, the love of his life was going to die at the end of her pilgrimage.
"Oh, and tell Minato thank you," responded Sakura.
"No… you can tell him yourself," responded Naruto.
"Please, Naruto…," Sakura said, wiping her eyes and stopped crying as Naruto also wiped his eyes and stopped crying and he and Sakura stopped hugging.
"Sakura-chan, don't say that because… we're going to see each other again, okay?" asked Naruto.
Sakura then looked at Yamato, and said:
"Yamato, let's go.."
The rest of the party followed Sakura.
(Note: If you're wondering who Minato is in this story, he plays Cid (Rikku and Brother's father and Yuna's uncle). Anyway, since Rikku sometimes called Yuna "Yunie," I thought that Naruto should call Sakura "Sakura-chan" in this fanfic just like in the actual "Naruto" anime/manga series. Oh, and just to let you know, that last scene with Naruto and Sakura in this fanfic is NOT a NaruSaku (Naruto X Sakura) moment. Also, yes, I know that Naruto and Sakura are not cousins in the actual "Naruto" series, but in this story, please pretend they are because they play Rikku and Yuna. Well, that's it for this chapter. Hope you all enjoyed it, and be on the look-out for...
Final Fantasy X (Naruto Style!) Remake.
Coming soon...
Bye! :D)
