"Well, what do you think they are here for?" Ron and Harry asked at the same time.

" Maybe they are really here because Naruto's godfather died so now he has to live with Dumbledore, as his guardian, until he's of age." said Hermione.

"That's stupid. If Dumbledore is really his guardian shouldn't Blondie live with him . Why does he live with us?" queried Harry.

"Fine then. We'll keep an eye on them. Happy now?" snapped Hermione.

The last weeks of the summer holiday passed quickly for Naruto. Most of the time he had spent cleaning Grimmauld Place with Harry Ron and Hermione. Kakashi wanted him to get to know them since he would be around them for the rest of the year. He felt like fresh out of the Academy again, doing a never ending D-rank mission.

'And I thought catching that stupid cat, Tora, was horrible,' Naruto thought.

It was not so much the cleaning that made his time at Grimmauld Place horrible as the strange, creepy creatures living everywhere in that old house. Like that thing that was hiding in an old writing desk, a Boggart or something like that. A Boggart apparently transformed itself into the thing you feared the most. Creepy.

At one time he, Kakashi and Mrs. Weasley went to Diagon Alley to by school supplies and a wand for Naruto. The trip there was the best thing that had happened to Naruto since he arrived in England. The place was fascinating with its many shops and people. Though he still didn't understand what was so exiting about a stick of wood. All the things wizards did with a wand he could do without. That's when he decided wizards were just lazy or they wouldn't use magic for everything. Really everything.

'I bet Shika would die to learn magic, the lazy bastard,' he thought the first time Mrs Weasley did her chores with magic, 'No more D-rank missions and much more time for cloud watching and sleeping'

Soon he had to say goodbye to Kakashi. He really didn't want to spend the whole year with some stuck-up ANBU as a babysitter but he really had no choice in that, stupid Baa-chan. But he would get back at her for that. He had sent a message to Shizune telling her about the secret hiding place of Tsunade's sake, which most probably has been confiscated by now.

He has been growing more anxious everyday until it was the 31st of August. Kakashi had already packed his things and would leave as soon as his replacement arrived.

And then Konoha would be hunting down the last members of the Akatsuki, without him, while he was stuck in a stupid school for wizards in the middle of nowhere.

Two and a half years he had been training for the one purpose, to grow strong enough to get Sasuke back and to be able to fight the Akatsuki. He had trained like crazy until he collapsed from exhaustion and now the stupid council forced him into hiding while his precious people fought his fight. It was frustrating as hell.

So it was no surprise to Kakashi when Naruto tried to talk him into taking him back to Konoha.

"Naruto, for the last time, I can't take you back with me. Tsunade would kill me. … or worse she could ban Icha Icha… ." Kakashi explained with a sigh.

"So your book is more important than me" the blond jinchuuriki pouted.

"Naruto stop pouting."

"Sensei, I don't want to stay here. I can't. Not while you're fighting the Akatsuki without me. They are after me, so why am I not allowed to fight them?"

"Naruto you are the last one. The last jinchuuriki. You're the one thing they need and we're not gonna let them have you. It's only for a year."

"ONLY A YEAR: THAT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME FOR THEM TO KILL ALL OF YOU. PAIN HAS SIX BODIES. SIX. HE KILLED JIRAIYA. AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE OTHERS CAN DO OR WHO THEY ARE. I'M NOT GONNA SIT HERE WHILE MY PRECIOUS PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING MY FIGHT," Naruto finally snapped.

The next thing Kakashi did surprised Naruto. For the first time in… ever Kakashi enveloped him in a hug.

"I know, Naruto. But we can't let you fight them. If they get to you it's over. Not just for you but for everyone. You've been protecting the village all of your life it's about time we give something back," he told Naruto, still hugging him.

When the blond didn't talk back the older Nin knew he had finally convinced Naruto to stay.

They never noticed the moving string under the door.

Around midday the time to say goodbye had come. Kakashi's things were all packed up, sealed in a storage scroll, and he was ready to go but he still had to wait to the ANBU to finally show up.

He and Naruto and all the people who were at Grimmauld place were assembled in the kitchen were Kakashi's replacement were supposed to appear.

Suddenly a flock of ravens appeared out of nowhere; they melted together and formed a human shape.

The man that stood before them was tall, clad in a simple black ANBU uniform with a katana strapped to his back. He had long silky, black hair that was put together in a low ponytail and a white porcelain mask was covering his face, it had the shape of a raven.

Needless to say his appearance scared the shit out of the wizards. At first glance they assumed that he was a Death Eater. Most of them had drawn their wands and were ready to attack him.

That was when Kakashi stepped in. He went straight to the man and said: "About time you arrived."

"Hello to you to Kakashi-senpai" the raven answered in a deep silky voice and then he turned to greet Naruto with a nod and a "Naruto-kun".

"What's with the mask?" asked Ron.

"It's part of the job," the ANBU answered without turning away from Naruto, still mustering the blonde. Somehow Naruto had the feeling he knew the man, he just couldn't remember from where.

"Anyway, Naruto it's time to say goodbye," Kakashi said, instantly gaining the blondes attention.

"I really wished I could go with you Sensei," he mumbled.

Kakashi pulled his student into a hug.

"I'll see you in a year. Stay out of trouble, Naruto," the copy Nin whispered to Naruto and with a swirl of leafs he was gone.

After that Naruto spend the rest of the day with packing for Hogwarts and sulking, the ANBU following him all the time. It pissed him off. He knew it was his job to keep an eye on him, but really, he didn't have to follow him around all the time.

'I really hope he won't do that at school. The students will avoid me like the plague with a creepy stalker like that,' he thought.

"Hehehehe, you should be used to being stalked with that Hyuuga girl following you everywhere."

'Don't remind me. Hinata is nice and all, but those eyes of her are so damn creepy. She can see through things. Every time she's around I feel kind of naked.'

"Hehe, not to forget that Neji boy."

'Nah, Neji is cool, he wouldn't do that.'

"I wouldn't be too sure about that. The boy is a closet pervert I'm sure of that."

'… . I'm a pervert magnet, am I not?'

"Yes you are."

'Kami hates me.'

"Not really, just got a fucked up sense of humour."

'Why am I even talking to you?'

"Because I am the mighty demon Lord Kyuubi no…."

Fortunately for Naruto he was brought back to reality by a worried Mrs Weasley, missing the rest of Kyuubi's rant.

"Naruto, my dear, are you all right? You spaced out for a moment," she said, when Naruto nodded she continued, "Have you packed everything?"

"I did."

"Good. It's late already, you should go to sleep. We have to wake up early. The train leaves at 11 o'clock and we still have some things to do in the morning"

After that she left the room. After a glare at the ANBU he went to sleep.

'This is really fucked up. He doesn't know who I am and he hates me already,' Itachi thought sighting inwardly before going to bed as well.

The following morning at Grimmauld Place twelve was very chaotic. School trunks were everywhere. Every few minutes someone stumbled over something causing the portraits on the walls to scream obscenities and Mrs Weasley was close to a heart attack.

When everyone was ready they went to King's cross, leaving the luggage with a creepy wizard named Moody. Sirius accompanied them to the station in the form of a giant black dog and Naruto's baby sitter slash ANBU hedged himself into a teenage boy a bit older than the blonde jinchuuriki himself.

They passed through a wall to get to the train. That was where they said goodbye to Mrs Weasley and Sirius. The ANBU had dropped his henge and many people were staring at him. It was really embracing.

As fast as he could he got on the train. He tried to find an empty compartment but the only most of them were already full. So chose a compartment that was close to empty. The only person in it was a blond girl. Having no other choice he took a seat next to the window, completely ignoring the raven.

Soon Ginny, Harry and another boy joined them.

That's it for now^^

I hope you liked it. Please review!

P.S. Somewhere above I mentioned a "moving string under the door.". I mean the Extendable Ears of course^^
