Naruto slowly but surely awoke from the bliss he called unconsciousness. He didn't have to worry about anything there. Although he could hear Kyuubi nagging every now and then. When Naruto had finally gotten some sense, he realized he was in a bed. Kind of hard, but still a bed. When did he get here? The room he was in was sparsely furnished, meaning no one permanently slept here or it was rarely used. Naruto guessed he was back on the ship so it was most likely the later. And he was also wearing different clothes from earlier. All he was wearing now was a plain white T-shirt and blue jogging pants. When did he change into these? He didn't remember... While the ninja was contemplating this, the door opened and a certain female Al Bhed entered the room. When she saw that the shinobi was awake, she immediately went to the bedside.

"Are you alright now? You passed out so suddenly down inside the ruins. I thought you were in real trouble." Rikku said as she sat on the edge of the mattress.

"Really? Nah, I am way too strong to let those weird creatures get the better of me! You don't have to worry." Naruto said with a huge fox-grin in Rikku's direction.

"That's a relief. And you did a lot of damage too. There were fiends lying everywhere." She said, emphasizing the 'everywhere.'

"Yeah...I did some damage didn't I? So, did you simply leave all the fiends where they fell?" He asked. He didn't like the idea of all the monster corpses being left there for anyone else who comes to these ruins. However he also didn't like the idea of Rikku and the other Al Bhed cleaning up the 'mess' that he made.

"Oh, we don't have to worry about that. Fiends turn into pyreflies not long after they die. The blood disappears as well...but it takes a while if it is far from the body." She explained to him. Naruto thought she sounded odd while telling him this, as if trying to give a reason for something. She also blushed slightly, which extremely confused him. Weren't you only supposed to blush when you're embarrassed? He decided to ignore this for now. Probably not any of his business.

"Alright then. And can I ask one more thing?" Naruto said.

"Sure, what do you want to know?" Rikku said, the color beginning to recede from her face.

"How did I get into these clothes? I don't remember changing at all..." As Naruto said this, Rikku's face once again began to flare.

"U-uh... well you see... after you passed out, I brought you back to the ship-"

"By yourself?" Naruto asked, surprised.

"Yes, because I had my suit on the blood couldn't get on to me. There was a chance it could with the other Al Bhed." Rikku explained to the ninja.

"Oh yeah, I forgot I was covered in that stuff. Continue." Naruto said, now especially wondering what happened to his clothes. Had they melted or something?

"Well you see, after I brought you onto the ship and into this room...I realized all of the blood wasn't going away. You know, turning into pyreflies? So I had to... I had to..." Rikku stuttered.

"Rikku?..." The ninja said, now unsure if he even wanted the answer to his question.

"I had to change your clothes!" The Al Bhed girl yelled as her face burned at least ten different shades of red.

For a moment, silence ruled in the tiny room. Rikku seemed to be turning an even darker red instead of changing back to normal, and Naruto was simply staring off into space. His eyes were getting wider every second that passed. Eventually he spoke, albeit unevenly.

"So... does that mean that you saw me n-n-n-..." Naruto stopped, hesitant to say the 'n' word.

"NO! Uh, I mean, I only saw your boxers..." Rikku explained, trying to save herself. It didn't seem to help much though. Naruto was still staring into space, just not as intently as before. Maybe he would stop in a few hours if she were lucky. However, she knew that they didn't even have that sort of time. So she merely slapped him, and then she did again. And then again. The first was to wake him up, the next was to make herself feel better, and the last was just for good measure.

When Naruto came out of his daze a good thirty seconds later (the slaps didn't seem to help much) he was prompted to get out of bed and onto the deck of the ship. His 'friend' was there, and they also had to go underwater to complete the mission. Naruto had nearly forgotten about that. When the two had reached the deck, they saw all of the Al Bhed scrambling to get ready for the dive. Tidus was sitting near the crane, just staring at the proceedings. Naruto decided not to bother him right now. Him and Rikku had to prepare for their dive, and he didn't want Tidus to ask to come along or something like that.

The two blondes wandered over to the side of the ship where Rikku said their suits were. Naruto looked at his suit skeptically. How was this supposed to help him underwater? All it was really was a water proof jacket, and pants. Then he looked up at Rikku and just sort of... stared. He couldn't understand why all of the outfits for female Al Bheds either showed a lot of skin, or hugged their figure 'very' tightly. He forced himself to look away from his friend, shocked at himself.

Dammit all... Kakashi and ero-sennin have turned me into a pervert as well! Damn them...

Naruto continued to say in his mind. He thinks he figured out why the girl's outfits are like that. It's because the one who made them was a pervert. It wouldn't surprise him, almost every adult he has ever met has been a pervert.

Naruto made himself forget these thoughts when he noticed something important... how were they going to breath underwater? He didn't see any specialized gear or anything of the sort, so he decided to inquire about it to the female Al Bhed.

"Umm...Rikku? How are we going to breath underwater?"

"With these breathers." Rikku told him as she finished zipping up the suit, and simply handed him a small metallic device attached to a strip of cloth while taking a similar piece and wrapping it around her head so the metal was over her mouth.

Naruto looked at the breather suspiciously, not believing the little thing would save him, but he shrugged and decided to trust Rikku and wrapped the cloth around his head. The shinobi nodded to Rikku to let her know that he was ready, and they both prepared to jump off of the ship.

"Ready?" They both said at the same time, and laughed a little at this.

"3..."

"2..."

"1..."

The two suddenly heard the sound of something large in the water from the other side of the ship, along with a cry of, "It's Sin!" In Al Bhed.

Both blondes immediately turned to see a gigantic monster in the ocean, which was blue and white from what could be seen. It also looked like it was covered with extremely hard scales. The two were scared, but had two different thoughts running through their heads. Naruto was thinking, what the hell is this thing! While Rikku was thinking oh no, we're all gonna die! Some where in the middle, Kyuubi was thinking, I guess we found what we're supposed to destroy.

Naruto heard this and immediately knew of the danger they were in. If this thing's 'brother' could quite easily destroy Konoha, this ship was going to be like a toy to it! Damn it, we must have used too much chakra after all. This is bad.

Sin was looking at the tiny ship that seemed to house what it was looking for. It wasn't a very patient thing, so it simply lifted one of it's fins, and dropped it near the ship. A giant wave washed over the vessel, taking quite a few of the crew overboard. However the monster still sensed something. So it took it's fin and did the same again, and again. Waves continually crashed into the boat, knocking more people off time and time again.

Tidus had already been swept off the ship, Rikku was latched onto the crane, and Naruto was hanging onto one of the many boxes stacked on deck. Other crew members were hanging onto ropes and poles as lifelines, and many seemed to be praying. For what, he didn't know. Probably simply hoping to get out alive. At least it wasn't false hope. As long as the monster didn't crush the ship, the chance for survival was high for everyone left onboard. With one more wave the box Naruto was holding on to, and Naruto himself, both swept off of the vessel. He thought he heard Rikku calling his name, but at the moment he was concentrating on surviving. The shinobi began to use the technique Kyuubi had just taught him, reveling in the air it brought through the pain of the burns.

Sin could feel that whatever was there was gone, and moving very quickly and erratically. The creature decided to wait for it to stop, so it sunk beneath the waves for a rest it didn't need. It would be quite some time before it lost so much power it needed to , Naruto was being swept about by the ocean currents, with no control over where he was heading.


Naruto began to awake on a beach, and decided at that moment to stop going unconscious and to start going to sleep normally. Whenever he passed out he awoke somewherecompletely different then where he was before. After a few minutes of lying on the sand, the ninja felt as if he would break his 'vow' already. He was too weak to stay awake. However he heard footsteps approaching, and tried to stay conscious for a little longer.

"Where...am I?" He managed to get out. Naruto heard a few words he couldn't make out, but understood one that was probably the name of where he was. The last thought Naruto had before he passed out again was...

Where the hell is Kilika!


HA! Didn't see that coming did ya? Hope everyone likes it. I will try to update again soon, okay? Oh, and here is a word of advice for everyone.

"Never, and I mean NEVER, underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers."

I had to laugh when I heard this, so I thought I would share it. Maybe I'll find another one for next chapter. Anyway, Ja ne.
