WOLF: So it looks like penny went and typed up everything she had left not that that was a bad thing. Truth was I was meaning to give her more pages before she left but for like two months now I've been hit with a really bad writers block. I try as I might nothing I write really sounds good. I was only able to get some stuff done before this happened but ever since it's just not working for me.
Penny: we will try to get another chapter up next months but no promises. But there will be another chapter at least by end of August.
WOLF: it may be very unlikely for this month though as from what penny told me she has ran out of my hand written pages. But for sure we will have one out in August.
Penny: we will try to get the chapters out as soon as we can but school starts next month and I need more papers from WOLF so it will take time. So just enjoy this longer than usual chapter.
WOLF: yup because as it stands right now I have the worse writers block on this story not even trying to read the book itself is working right now. Let's just all hope that it stops soon!
Penny: Plot bunnies always come eventually; everyone just has to be patient.
WOLF: ah true but I don't have any at this time for FAFH I have one for hit man reborn though and I really should start writing that out before I lose it!
Penny: Agree and fem needs to be worked on more.
WOLF: well that one is up to you to type and me to look over once it's done. Can't do much till you send it to me!
Penny: Yeah my time right now is mostly going to be on fem while you write more for your other ideas.
WOLF: that's going to be fun~ but hopefully something good will come out of it.
Penny: Something already good has come from this and it's time for the readers to enjoy this chapter.
WOLF: Pth~ gees okay we can let them read now (hay is it weird that I'm rereading all my stories right now?)
Penny: What have I told you about hay and hey?
WOLF: ...that its hey not hay...
Penny: Good girl.
WOLF: BTHHHH (that's me blowing my tongue at you.
Penny: WOLF use your manners when typing.
WOLF: what manners, me having manners, hah! There's no such thing!
Penny: WOLF, just upload this.
WOLF: sniff, fine is see how it is. It'll go up in a moment.
Penny: Thank you.
Harry's eyes widened. He knew males could get pregnant, but it was rare even for wizards, and he finally understood something. That time at Grimmauld Place with the boggart; Naruto's biggest fear was losing his child.
Harry knew what he was about to do was weird but he knew it was needed. Standing from his seat he flung his arms around Naruto's shoulders.
Naruto gasped in surprise but he took that moment to hold onto Harry's waist, and sob into the boy's chest.
Harry smiled sadly; he had finally realized why Naruto had understood him so well, both of them had gone through a lot of hard ships. In the end, Harry didn't know how long they stayed like that, but it was until Naruto had calmed down.
"I'm sorry for crying on you," Naruto sniffed.
"No, it's fine. I know how it is; sometimes you just have to let it out," Harry smiled.
Naruto smiled back and gently pulled Harry's arms off his shoulders and took his hands in his. Harry winced when Naruto's hand rubbed his new cut. Naruto, who saw the wince, looked down and went wide eyed.
"That damn wench is using medieval methods, isn't she." Harry didn't answer, seeing that it was a statement and not a question.
"Sit down and don't even think of running off," Naruto said as he walked away.
Harry just sat down in his seat and waited for Naruto to return. When the blond returned, he sat down with a white box, which had a red cross on it.
"Give me your hand."
Harry did as told and watched as Naruto cleaned his wrist, while he was wearing gloves and gently wrapped it in a pristine, white bandage.
"All right," Naruto said taking off his gloves.
"Head off to bed, I'll talk with Snape and be sure he won't give you a T on your assignment."*
Harry nodded stiffly. "Thank you."
Naruto nodded back and smiled. "Now off you go and leave this old fox to rest."**
Harry chuckled, "okay, okay."
Harry took off at a light jog out of the room but stopped to look at the sleeping red head by the door. Raising an eye brow in question, Harry took off once again, no longer in a bad mood.
$_$ (^))) ^::^
"You finally came in," Naruto said softly, as Kurama walked into the room.
"Of course, your cousin left, which means it's my turn to comfort you," Kurama said with a smirk as Naruto groaned.
"You damned rabbit-fox."
$_$ (^))) ^::^
Naruto frowned as he watched Harry get yelled at by his captain. It wasn't like it was his fault for getting put in detention. Okay maybe it was as he didn't need to yell at the old toad but maybe the girl was going a bit too far?
Naruto walked up to the two, noticing McGonagall behind him and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Miss Angelina would you please lower your voice and I hope you also keep in mind that once a detention is given by a professor, they also have been assigned to keep their duty for the detention on the same date, unless they have a medical reason."
The girl looked at him wide eyed before glancing around the hall and seeing many eyes on her. She left with a mumbled apology after that while Naruto looked at Harry and gave him a discreet wink.
Then he walked away and sat between Snape and Kurama. He chatted quietly with the black haired man before said potions master pulled out a small vile. Naruto took it with a smile and looked back to Kurama and started to chat with him.
"Do you think that's Wolfs Bane potion Snape gave him?" Hermione said as she sat down next to Harry.
Harry gave her a weak glare.
"I think not Herm," and after that Harry stood up and left the Great Hall. Somehow he was in a really bad mood, like he had just been bullied about a family member or something of the sort.
$_$ (^))) ^::^
Harry walked into Naruto's classroom with Ron and Hermione flanking him on both sides and they felt slightly disturbed by the sight when they looked around.
Human, primate, fish, dog and cat skulls were floating around the room chomping and clacking at students faces. Jars of lizards, snakes and other reptiles hung from the roof and a strange headless skeleton was walking around the room. None of them saw their professor as they took their seats.
Hermione's yelp caused the boys to look over at her, only to see one of the skulls had latched on to her nose.
Ron laughed harshly while Harry moved to pull it off but suddenly everything stopped moving and simply hung in place.
Soft laughter caused everyone to look at the door to Naruto's office.
The blond silently walked over to Harry's side and took the skull in hand. It released Hermione's nose and started clanking wildly in his hand. Naruto turned it to face him giving it a wide grin before chucking it over his shoulder but it never hit the ground remaining suspended in midair.
Naruto tipped Hermione's face up and looked at her nose and smiled.
"It'll be fine and sorry about that; their quite happy to be out of their containers and seem to want to torment people today. Ah and to think the man that gave them to me is now dead..." Naruto's eyes gleamed over as he got lost in memories.
"Oh well, now then on to the lesson!" Naruto said suddenly as he clapped his hands together.
Eyes twitched as they saw the sculls spin around the blond as if they were little fairies.
"Seeing as most of you gotten a hang of controlling your magic core, we're moving on to the next step!"
He walked to the center of the room and swished his arms a bit. The door to his office opened and several boxes filterer out.
"Now then everyone take a book. Oh, remember no wands."
Everyone was starting to feel terror fill their hearts; was Naruto going to become like Umbridge? None of them saw the mischievous smirk on his lips.
Harry looked at Naruto in disbelief, but the blond only winked at him playfully, somewhat calming his nerves.
"Today we're working on levitation. I know you all have learned a spell like this from Professor Flitwick but all of you have to remember in a bad situation, you may not have your wands with you, so from this moment on: no wands shall be shown in my class. And to be fair, I won't even pull out my own wand."
Sighs of relief filled through the room.
"Now then, it's really simple to levitated things. Concentrate your magic on the item of choice and imagine it coming towards you." With these words Harry was lifted up from the chair and everyone watched, some gaping, as Harry's body moved towards Naruto and he was gently placed on his feet.
Harry looked wide eyed at Naruto but the blond smiled at him and gently ruffled his hair.
"Now then don't follow my example because most of you have weak magic cores and well, I don't want to be held responsible for any casualty."
They all nodded and began to attempt to pull books towards themselves.
"Ah, now then Harry, I just want to ask if you would like to stay after class again, I think more practice will do you good."
Harry nodded and ran over to his friends, who bombarded him with questions and asking what it felt like and if he was okay.
Naruto walked around the class checking on people; making sure everyone didn't hurt themselves.
His face turned slightly pale as time went on. Harry watched as he started to slow down and only stopping to talk every so often. Just as Harry was about to walk over to ask if he was okay, the door opened and Kurama walked up to Naruto.
Several people had shocked faces because Kurama had never come to class up until now. Kurama looked the same as always except for the fact that his left hand was covered in bandages.
"You're ill," Kurama spoke softly, as he cupped Naruto's cheek with one hand.
"I'm fine, the baby's just giving me a bit of trouble," Naruto grumbled.
"It doesn't look that way. You're very pale; did you take the potion Snape gave you?"
"You know I did, you were right there when I did it!" Naruto hissed.
"I know, sorry I'm simply worried about you. After all this pregnancy will be much worse than the last."
And it would be; Naruto could already feel his body trying to push out this new life. They both knew it would be tough on them but they had to try at least one more time. Kurama after all could see the hurt in Naruto's eyes when other mothers were with their children.
"I'll take care of the class while you go take another potion..."
Naruto gave a sigh and pulled away from Kurama.
"I'll be right back. Kurama will watch over you until I'm back, so behave."
Naruto walked into his office and closed the door.
"You heard him Kids carry on," Kurama called out, eye's going over their faces.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione huddled together, while they tried to call books to themselves again.
"That was strange," Hermione mumbled.
"He looked really sick," Ron agreed.
Harry kept his head down and eyes looking at the closed door.
Class went really quickly with Kurama watching over them. He kept everyone on task and Naruto never did come out of his office.
Kurama dismissed the class and students left quickly, some still whispering.
"Harry, you coming?" Ron asked at the door.
Harry glanced over and shook his head. "I have a question, but I'll see you in the Great Hall."
They nodded and took off down the hall bickering as always.
Kurama knocked on the door to Naruto's office and they both heard a small groan. Kurama pushed it open and they saw Naruto slouched over the side of a chair, his face was green and his hair was draped over his shoulders messily. Kurama was by his side in a second.
"Koi, are you all right?"
Naruto gave him a weak glare. "Do I look alright?" he snapped.
"Please go to Snape and ask him for something stronger, this won't last long..." groaned referring to the potion.
Kurama nodded and walked back to the door looking down at Harry he frowned, "watch over him."
Harry gave a weak nod and watched him leave.
"Harry, dear, will you get me a glass of water, this potion is killing me with the taste."
Harry nodded and saw a small fridge in the corner of the room. Checking inside he pulled out a bottle of water and opened it up before handing it over to Naruto. Naruto quickly gulped it down and the greenness in his skin fading a bit.
Naruto gave a sigh and set the empty bottle on the floor. "Thank you," Naruto said.
"If you don't mind me asking, what are the potions for?"
Naruto sighed, knowing this question would be asked but he didn't feel right telling Harry just yet.
"I've been feeling a bit sick lately. It might have been something I ate," he lied.
Harry nodded in understanding.
"It could have been the pot roast last night, Ron said it tasted kinda funny," Harry guessed.
Naruto chuckled softly, "Severus said the same thing."
Harry's eye brows shot up. "They agreed on something?!"
Naruto nodded good-naturally.
"Oh, if only they knew!" Harry laughed.
Naruto smiled for a moment but a bout of pain caused his body to contract. Curling into himself, he held lightly on to his stomach, releasing a small whimper of pain. Harry's eyes went wide as his professor seemed to have curled up like one would see a cat do.
'Does he even have a spine?' Harry wondered inwardly. A gasp at the door brought Harry to look at the female guard, who was holding a small package and had an eagle perched on her shoulder.
"Naruto! Naruto are you okay?!" she yelled as she ran to his side and went down to her knees.
Blue eyes opened for a moment before his hand extended out. Sakura, having been a medic nin for some time now, knew exactly what he meant. Reaching out shakily, she took his hand which gripped tightly on to hers.
"What happened?" she asked turning to Harry, who by the looks of it, was just about to have a panic attack.
"I-I don't know, one moment we were taking and the next he was like this!" Harry explained, his arms flapping at his side.
Sakura frowned. Pulling her hand back, she was about to check him over, when a harsh voice filled the air.
"Stop! Stop before you mess him up all the more!" She looked up when Kurama (that was his name if she remembered correctly) stood next the greasy haired professor. (A.N. I'm SORRY SNAPEY CHAN!)
"Move aside," greasy said sternly.
She blinked slightly, before moving out of the way but staying close enough to hold his hand.
"Go to lunch Potter, now is not the time," Kurama said softly before walking behind the couch.
Harry nodded softly. As much as he wanted to stay, he knew he would be no help to them.
"What's wrong with him?" Sakura repeated, while looking at the males.
"Naru's body can't handle his current condition ever since that fight he and the duck butt had; his body can't take on things that cause it to much stress," Kurama explained as Snape brought out a sky blue potion and pressed the open vile to the blonds lips. Naruto whimpered but let it slip past his lips, nearly choking on it.
"W-what's causing him so much stress?" Sakura asked after a moment.
"Being pregnant, that's what," Snape snapped, eyes looking at Kurama who turned away from the accusing glare.
Sakura's eyes widened and jaw dropped.
"But-But how?! He's a boy!"
"Male wizards, in odd cases can carry children, Naruto is one of those odd cases," Snape explained, as he put the vial away.
"It's not something common at all, typically it only works if the father is not human and the 'mother' contains very strong magic abilities. And Naruto's is no exception to that matter; this boy has very powerful magic."
Sakura blinked. "Then why is it hurting him so much?"
"After duck butt shoved his fist through Naru's chest it caused our first child to be expelled from his body. When a child gets expelled it's twice sometimes three times as hard for the 'mother' to carry again. It has taken about six years for him to get pregnant," Kurama explained as his clawed hand came down and stroked Naruto's (who was now asleep) head.
"Naruto really wanted that child, it was to be his first living family member that lived near him. After all it's not like he could drop what he was doing and run off to England just to see his cousin."
Sakura nodded. "How far along was he when you found out?"
"Two and a half months. We really didn't mean for it to happen. I had played a prank that night and put sake into our drink and well, the rest is history. He was young but you know how it is when you're a ninja, most of you get married before your even out of you teen years.
When he found out he really wanted to stop being a ninja but the exams cause it so he had to wait. He didn't think it would turn out like it did, and then when he went to get the old hag I had to use most of my chakra just to make a protective bubble around the growing child," Kurama said.
"So then how; how did you meet Naruto? I've never once met or saw you in the village until now," Sakura asked, realizing she knew next to nothing of this man.
"That's because he's a demon. Kurama is the nine tails fox that attacked your village on Naruto's birthday," said Snape.
Sakura's eyes widened and her hand snapped back from Naruto's as she backed away.
"Wh-How?"
Kurama frowned. "I didn't do it on purpose. A man named Tobi, who Naruto has already removed from our problems, controlled me with his form of the Sharingan. I was helpless. I had been taken out of my last host, Naruto's mother, and forced to do something I didn't want to do. I may like violence but I don't like to kill people unless they do me wrong."
"Yondaime killed you!" she screeched.
"He didn't, as you can see he sealed me into Naruto. You can't kill a demon; they just get reborn and will always come back!" Kurama argued.
"That's enough the both of you!" Snape snapped. Both looked over to him questioningly.
"You're bothering Naruto with your arguing. Act like the adults you are or get out."
Kurama growled and moved his body so he was looking away from Snape.
"When you meant sealed in Naruto, did you mean the same as what Garra was with the Ichibi?"
Kurama nodded. "I was but he pulled the seal off when he was eight. The village, after he had just returned from England, had tried to kill him."
Sakura winced.
"I didn't want him to pull the seal off, but when he was dying he didn't want to force me to go with him. Even then, he cared for others more than himself."
Kurama pulled back and moved towards the door.
"You and I have duty to do. Severus, please keep an eye on Naruto."
The greasy haired man nodded and made himself comfy on the extra couch.
$_$ (^))) ^::^
Harry walked down the halls unhappy. He had really wanted to stay and help but the looks everyone had gave him assured him that he need to go... but that didn't mean he wouldn't find out what was wrong later.
He glanced at the entrance to the Great Hall and sighed; he wasn't really in the mood to eat. Quietly slipping past a group of first years, Harry sped towards the Dark Forest.
Running past several trees he broke past into a clearing only to stop dead. Standing ahead of him was Luna. He was surprised by how she looked. As usual she had strange things on her but she still looked amazing.
Hanging from her ears were sweets, mostly green and purple Jolly Ranchers. Around her neck was a long chain of Sour Bursts. Harry also noted her shoes were gone but her small feet looked delicate on the surrounding grass.
"Oh, Harry what are you doing here?" Luna asked airy.
Harry blinked but smiled. "I was just getting some air."
Luna smiled as well. "Make sure not to breath in any Wiffer Darks, they make your nose tickle and pull on nose hair."
Harry didn't know what to say to that so he nodded good naturally.
"If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing out here?" Harry asked, as he walked closer to her side.
Luna pointed to the forest where a small Thestrals was nosing at a bush.
"I've been coming here lately to feed her. It seems her mothers have left us," Luna replied as she slipped her small hands into a bag. They then came out holding a small chunk of meat. She tossed the meat to the ground, startling the Thestrals before it moved closer to sniff the uncooked slab of flesh.
Harry turned away to look at Luna's hands, they were covered in blood. Sighing he pulled out a small handkerchief, he had learned at a young age it was handy to carry one, and passed it to her.
She took it carefully, her eyes looking at Harry for any rejection but he simply smiled. Taking it she wiped away the blood before pulling out her wand and performing a small spell to clean her hands and the bag.
"People always think Thestrals mean something bad but they don't, they come to people to comfort them after a family member's death. After all, one came after mother died," she explained.
Harry blinked. "How did she, you know...go?"
Luna had a dreamy look on her face. "She was working on a new spell when it backfired off an old rune. She didn't feel much pain, that's what the Healer said."
Harry winced and moved towards the clearing's edge, when he saw Luna was walking over there too.
"Sorry it happened," he apologized.
Luna shook her head. "I don't remember it; I was only a little girl."
Harry nodded his head in understanding. He could relate to how that felt. Since the only thing he remembered from his own mother's death was a flash of green and a scream.
He smiled sadly at her and the two of them calmly walked back to their school, chatting about everything and anything. ***
*In case you all forgot Naruto and Snape are on friendly terms, you may remember that from the feast though it wasn't really capitalized. And yes T it means Troll. Penny wanted me to remind you all about this.
**And no harry does not know about Kurama's and Naruto's foxy problem.
*** so people were asking me if I wanted to dawn tone Luna or just replace her with Kurama. I had no intentions to make her unimportant. Personally I love Luna, she and Hermione are the only girls in the whole story I even care for, Mrs. Weasley doesn't count she's not going to married one of the boys. So you see I added a peace to my story just to give her some importance.
By now in sure you all have come to realize I will likely not follow the canon exactly by the time I get to the end. I'm not sure what I will be changing or how. I may make a continuation by the time I finish but I also don't know. From here on out things may be changed to how I like them and its very likely Harry won't end up with Ginny I don't like her very much so I've gone and said it!
Also the will be less Sakura bashing it wasn't really planned but when I was working on my WOYK fic I sorda got back into a good Sakura. I'm not saying that they will be best friends but they won't be at each other's throats anymore.
Final note yes Naruto got pego really young, let's just blame it on Kurama and his stupid decision and move on. I'm not a fan of child pregnancy, I mean come on I'm 17 and I've never had a real boyfriend, (I've 'had' 3 but that was in middle school and they were stupid as they came, I don't even really want to count them! And so Naruto never gave birth in the first place it turned out to be a miscarriage. And those of you wondering Naruto is about 18 or 19 in this fic Sasuke and Sakura are a year older.
