I still hadn't decided to continue training Draco or not. It's just that learning our jutsu's are so dangerous that until he can prove he will listen he doesn't need to know anything. Ciel stayed by Draco's side, if I can't finish the mission without emotion he can.

I was ignoring Draco as much as possible. Though at breakfast and supper time I would grab his arm and insert my blood. Of course I would get weird looks, but it didn't matter even if I won't train him I can still get rid of the curse.

"You've been in a bad mood for weeks now," Sasuke stated sitting on the table in front of me in the Slytherin common room "What's wrong Nat?"

"Sasuke how long do we plan on staying here?" I laid on the couch gazing at the fire place "I still don't see the point in being here."

"Did you forget the mission?"

"Get into the Malfoy house and steal back the ring that Voldemort somehow got his hands on."

"Exactly, and we're supposed to remove that curse on Draco or draw Voldemort's attention to us somehow."

"Because he's drawing too much power which is threatening Orochimaru, or something like that."

"Exactly. But you still haven't explained why you're in such a bad mood."

"Hey Sasuke!" Ciel called "What are you doing here?"

Of course he didn't reply. There has always been tension between Ciel and Sasuke, I never could figure out why. Being near these two all the time I could feel it more then a by-standard; they'd just think Sasuke's being rude to Ciel's kindness.

"Good day professor," Draco greeted.

Figures those two would be together. Despite my annoyance of Draco I couldn't help but laugh. The comment caught my funny bone as I pictured Sasuke at the front of the class teaching students.

"What is so funny?" Sasuke glared at me.

"Professor," I told him sitting up and still laughing.

"You haven't laughed in a long time Nat."

"It's just too priceless professor," I teased.

Sasuke smirked leaning forward to whisper in my ear "Only you Nat, I give you permission."

I could feel my cheeks heat up with his comment. Sasuke backed away snickering, I glared at him. Now that was low even for him.

"Now you're making fun of me," I stood to match his height.

Sasuke was a few inches taller than me. If I looked straight ahead the first thing I'd see would be his lips. I always had to focus on looking up instead of ahead.

"You cheeky little bastard I'm tired of your game play. Either treat me like your equal or cut me off completely."

"Nat," he tried to sooth.

"Don't Nat me Uchiha!"

"Did you hear about the Halloween costume party?" Ciel interrupted knowing Sasuke and I could kill each other "Sounds fun doesn't it?"

"Sounds like a bore to me," Draco slouched in a chair "Who'd want to dress up like a monster?"

I let the words absorb into my mind then starred at Sasuke. There was no way Dumbledore would agree to something so muggle oriented. He had to have something to do with this.

"You don't have to be a monster," Ciel explained "You can also be a hero."

"Sasuke," I whispered wondering if it were true.

"Am I forgiven?" he inquired.

I smiled and wrapped my arms around him kissing his cheek. Sasuke got this party for me so I can be myself without the disguise of a student or assistant. He chuckled at my reaction.

"Weren't they just arguing?" Draco whispered.

"This is usual for them," Ciel replied "I don't think they've ever gotten into a huge fight. Those two have a connection I'll never figure out."

"Are they going out?"

"No. They're more then friends but I don't believe they will move toward dating" Ciel paused "Why do you ask?"

"No reason."

"Ciel when is the party?" I asked.

"Um, Halloween is next Saturday."

"Thank you."

I kissed his cheek then went to my room. I was in a better mood but the reason for being moody was still eating at me. I really wanted to train Draco, but it was his own fault for being so…so…cocky. The more I think of it the more he reminds me of Sasuke.
