1st Crystal

[Oerba, Vanille's dear home town. What would have happened if she and Fang never became l'Cie? Well she can very well experience it now. There she was, just a normal girl from Gran Pulse. Though tougher than the average human girl which came from living around many large beasts, she was sans powers, abilities, summons, and tattoos.

She sits upon a concrete railing and looks outwards at the mountainous scenery, smiling wistfully and swinging her legs delicately. There are Oerbian people walking around, bustling, laughing, and being a large family with each other.

A little robot comes rolling up to Vanille, making a little noise. The girl looks down at it]

Bhakti!

[She looks over at it and pulls it up with her on the concrete ledge.]

Here to give me some company?

[She giggles, but she knows this isn't her place. She knows this isn't her reality. She knows she's curled up next to Fang in a crystal stasis, dreaming forever with her friends all right and saved and she's all right with that.]

"Oerba... never heard of it'ttebayo." Naruto looked around, shuffling a bit. How did she stand this weather wearing just... that? "Dia Vanille... uh, I'm Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto."

He looked around. "...It doesn't look like I'm on Shimagame anymore."

Vanille tilted her head. He was from where now? There wasn't a place that she knew of called that on Gran Pulse or Cocoon.

She shook her head. "Mm-mm. You're on Gran Pulse now"

Her hands linked behind her back and she started walking towards him a bit more, Bhakti walking back towards her from going to Naruto.

"You can call me Vanille, Naruto!"

The redhead perked up. "Oh! I know! I'll show you around!" She reached out, grabbed his hand, and started pulling him towards more of the village area.

She had an accent Naruto didn't recognize. But... with her cute voice, and her bouncing... pigtails, yeah... Naruto didn't feel any danger from her. She looked like a normal, cute... girl.

"Gran Pulse? What's Gran--whoa!" Naruto didn't have much time to talk before he was yanked off by Vanille, cloak fluttering with him.

Vanille led him towards the main town. The metal houses and huts, little robots bumbling about, and people walking around.

The girl let go of Naruto's hand and lifted her own high into the air.

"This is Oerba!" she said. "Where everywhere is everyone's home. You can go anywhere and it'll be okay!"

She let out a giggle.

Naruto looked around, looking interested. There were people, and strange mechanical things running around. He watched them move, feeling a bit jittery if they came anywhere near them.

"What the heck are those?!"

"They're robots! Just like Bhakti!" Vanille bent over and picked up the little bot and held it out to him. It made a small click click noise and its "eyes" seemed to focus on Naruto.

"He won't hurt."

"Ro...bots?" Naruto asked, tilting his head in confusion. However, he leaned down a little, looking it right in the eyes. "He looks like a little metal fox! Bhakti!"

Vanille let out a giggle at the boy. Bhakti waggled his antenna at the attention.

The girl set him down and the robot started to bump its face into Vanille's leg with affection.

"Do you not know what a robot is?"

That was strange considering that there were robots everywhere.

"I've never seen them before," Naruto admitted, watching his antenna wiggle wildly. The blond stood up straight--he was only an inch or so taller than Vanille. His blue-sky gaze lifted from Bhakti, then to Vanille.

'Man, she's super cute...!' There was something about that accent that was pretty nice.

"So... I'm on Gran Pulse," Naruto stated slowly. While she was cute, he probably needed to get some information. "Have you ever heard of, uh... Konoha? That's where I'm from." He offered her a sheepish grin. "A place sans robots'ttebayo."

Vanille looked at him a bit strangely. Was there a place called Konoha in Cocoon? She didn't think so. It didn't sound like any place she new on Cocoon when she was there. Besides, if he was from there, then he would have definitely known what robots were. That was the technology capital!

The girl shook her head. "No, there isn't a place like that on Gran Pulse." she said. "What's Ko-no-ha, like?" she asked as she started to lead him out of the main part of town and towards the entrance of the village.

"Well," Naruto started, reaching up and putting his hands behind his head as he walked with her. "There... are lots of trees... and lots of people! And its surrounded by a huge forest. And..."

"I'm the handsomest guy there'ttebayo," He stated with a wide grin on his face. "Believe it."

Vanille nodded as he described his village. It sounded like a nice, peaceful place. Nothing like the dangerous lands of Gran Pulse. And thus a conclusion was made. Perhaps Naruto wasn't from this land at all and traveled into her dream somehow.

The Oerbian girl giggled at the boast. "I can tell!" she commented with a wink.

She led him more and more towards the outskirts where they started getting into a more mountainous setting. This was where it got a little more dangerous, but she wasn't afraid!

"Be careful out here, there are some monsters walking around. But don't worry, I can handle them!" she chirped.

Naruto felt a grin light up his face when she winked at him. He liked her, this Vanille. She was good-natured, if anything. No wonder he felt so peaceful.

"Whoa... check out those peaks!" Naruto let out, lowering his hands from the back of his head. The blond started out at the mountains, his eyes wide. "Man... I must we way out. There are only moutains in Iwa and the Land of Snow!"

He gave Vanille a look. "...M-Monsters? You have monsters out here?" He wondered if it was anything like the Forest of Death. "...What kind? Giant centipedes? Monstrous snakes?"

The girl tilted her head again, her pigtails bouncing to the side. "I've never heard of those places before" But she didn't bother to tell him that it was crystal dust and not snow. If he tried to make a snowball, it definitely wouldn't work.

"Mmm...nothing like that" she explained. "More like really big wolves and bears and frogs! The frogs are really poisonous, so be careful!"

She skipped ahead a bit then turned around.

"Hey Naruto? What if I told you that this is my dream?"

"I'm a Frog Master," Naruto stated, tilting his chin up in pride as Vanille skipped on ahead. When she asked him the strange question, the Naruto offered her a grin.

"I'd believe it," The blond stated, and he kicked some of the "snow" up. "No girl has even been this nice to be before! I must be dreaming!"

She laughed lightly at that. "You're a really nice guy, Naruto I don't see why anyone wou--"

There was a low growl behind a large stone. A long snarling, drooling snout was seen coming out into view.

Vanille reached behind her and pulled her staff out that unfolded into what looked like a long white deer's antler. She bent her knees slightly, getting into a stance.

"Get behind me" she said to the boy.

That's when it came out. A gigantic wolf that was about the size of a horse and twice its girth. Its eyes were white and its claws looked like it could tear out a chunk of the mountain side.

asdfjkl;

"WHAT--"

"IS--"

"--THAT?!! WHAT IS THAT?!" Naruto shouted, throwing his arms into the air as Vanille got in front of him. "Get away from that thing dattebayo!"

"It's one of the Pulse monsters" she said looking around, seeing if they could just bolt and try to lose it instead of her trying to take it down. Which, by herself, it was highly unlikely. She might be able to injure it or distract it. Unless she used her magick!

"Fira!" she moved her staff.

.....

Nothing.

"Uh-ooooooh"

Naruto watched her use her fire attack--so he wasn't dealing with just a really cute girl... he was dealing with a really cute girl... with fire-power! Except... nothing happened. He had a feeling that wasn't the way her attack was supposed to work.

He didn't ask her to step back; Naruto threw off his cloak, the cloth landed in the powder of crystal dust. He moved forward lightning fast--and suddenly there were five of him, circling the creature as one threw the original Naruto high into the air. The four on the ground moved into the creature, flipping backwards and slamming their feet into its body with heavy kicks, each one chanting.

"U!"

"ZU!"

"MA!"

"KI!" At the last kick, the wolf-like creature flew upwards. The original Naruto was spinning downwards from the sky towards it, and he lifted his hands, his heel slamming down into the monster's face.

"NARUTO COMBO!!!" He shouted, and the monster cratered down into the ground, Naruto skidding to his feet beside Vanille. "Lets move!"

Vanille's eyes widened as Naruto was suddenly five Narutos! It was an all out barrage! It was a lot like Snow's fighting style where he just went all out with his fists. But waaaaay cooler.

"Woooooow...." she let out as he landed beside her.

"Right! Let's go!" And with that, she started to run away! One of the things she was best at.

Once they were a good distance from the monster, she plopped down onto the ground that was less covered in crystal dust, panting.

"Are you okay?" she breathed out.

"My cloak vanished," Naruto let out, looking back to where the monster had been. "...But I think I got it." Or something close enough to it. Well, the dream had designated it was useless, and thus, the cloak had vanished.

Naruto looked towards Vanille, squatting down by her.

"You okay? It looks like your fire jutsu didn't work."

Vanille looked up at the blond boy. Who knew someone that small could pack that much of a punch? But then, Hope was shorter and could do his own share of magick damage as well as taking it.

"I'm fine" she answered. "What's 'joo-sue'?"

Did he mean her magick?
