Drabbles
Do not own Naruto.
Edit 2013/05/25 Believe me or not, I have written this drabble about four months ago. And now since we have our sparkling new chapter 631 I have decided to post this as my first published work. Enjoy.

It occurs in the middle of war.
Two comrades bonded again (again, because they were teammates, friends, traitors, enemies earlier) are surrounded by hundreds of clones. It is nothing new, as they were made to fight with them earlier, but now here is one thing different.
They can't do anything without combining their powers together.
But even if they are comrades now, they can't change fact that separation was long (almost four years) and they know almost nothing about each other.
They are perfect strangers.
Yet there is just one glimpse, short look that says everything for former members of original Team 7.
Even if back then they were a pink dreaming girl and serious boy, her unconscious protector.
Now here is just a skilled medic-nin who is sided up with ex-criminal. (Ex-criminal, because he doesn't want to destroy Konoha anymore, because he wishes to protect what is left from these careless days of childhood)
Short glance.
Almost invisible nod.
The raven haired warrior goes to one side, drawing his katana out of its sheath.
The cherry blossom haired girl goes to other side, her gloved fists covered with green chakra.
They don't know that they repeat history from these old days, when here was Third Shinobi war, when two teammates (best friends and rivals) had also found rhytm with each other and become one in purpose to protect.
They also have a purpose, and when the enemy bodies fall, they stands a little, unmoving, back with back, resting on each other.
Several moments later they steps away each other and faces each other.
Red fades into midnight black and looks at emerald.
They nods at each other and then faces south.
And they run.
They aren't the only ones from Team 7, after all.
A.N. Have seen similar scene in manga „Dogs: Bullets and Carnage" wher both main characters (Haine and Naoto) goes to opposite sides, each weapon ready (katana and pistols). It had inspired me. Though similar teamwork would rather be between Naruto and Sasuke, I guess..
