After the crew ate a quick dinner, they soon headed for their final class of the day, Defense Against the Dark Arts. However, instead of having class in the classroom, they were all asked to meet outside in the courtyard.
"Damn Pervy Sage. He just wants to show off," Naruto mumbled.
"Well I for one am extremely excited about seeing you ninjas at work," Hermione exclaimed.
"Work huh? Please. None of them come close to being on my level." Sasuke had caught up with the rest of the Gryffindor House students and he was receiving dirty looks from Naruto.
"Oh shut it Sasuke," Neji mumbled. "You've yet to face me in combat so I suggest you not put the cart before the horse so to speak."
"Aw don't even bother arguing with him," Naruto groaned. "Sasuke's all talk. He can't back up anything he says anyway." Sasuke pulled Naruto to the side and whispered in his ear.
"Didn't I back it up earlier? If I was just 'all talk' why'd you get hard after just one kiss?" Naruto could feel his face flushing with embarrassment.
"I…I didn't…" he stammered.
"I felt it against my leg you idiot but that's ok. I'd be lying if I told you that I didn't like it," he grinned.
"What are you two up there whispering about? Are you making plans for your next date?" Sasuke balled up his fist and turned around glaring angrily at his adversary.
"Has anyone ever told you that you've got a big mouth Draco? You might wanna get it in check. You're in the wrong class to be making such threats to me. I'll make you eat those words if I don't kill you first."
"Come on Sasuke. It's not worth it," Hermione replied pulling him to the side. "Malfoy's a jerk. He'll always be a jerk."
"Maybe," Sasuke smirked. After a while Hermione realized that they weren't moving and that there were more students out in the courtyard than there should have been.
"Um…why are there so many people out here?" Hermione wondered.
"Well, I vaguely remember Master Jiraiya telling us after the sorting that people could drop by to see our class in action," Sakura noted.
"Oh yeah. I remember."
"ALRIGHT! ATTENTION EVERYONE! IF YOU ARE NOT IN GRYFFINDOR OR SLYTHERIN, I NEED YOU TO STAND BACK AND LET THEM COME UP FRONT!" Jiraiya yelled. Slowly people parted ways to let the selected houses come up front. "Alright good. Now then. Welcome to your first ever Dark Arts class shinobi style. Of course, you will probably learn some very important defensive spells from none other than Professor Snape who has happily agreed to be my assistant."
"You know, doesn't this sound familiar in a freaky, Lockhart sort of way?" Ron asked.
"Yeah…it does actually," Harry answered. "Lockhart was an idiot though." Naruto smirked at this.
"Don't let that perve fool you. He's one of the biggest idiots I know."
"NARUTO!" Naruto jumped at the sound of Jiraiya's voice.
"What?"
"Get up here. We're about to fight."
"Say what?! But I don't wanna fight you!"
"Yeah well, I figure you're the best example of how dangerous someone like Orochimaru can be."
"I don't want to fight you. I'm too tired to fight an old coot like you."
"NARUTO! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE NOW OR I REFUSE TO TRAIN YOU ANYMORE!" he screamed.
"Yeah. Fine. Whatever. I'm coming," he grumbled.
"Good luck loser," Sasuke smirked. Naruto gave Sasuke the finger as he slowly headed to the front.
"Alright Naruto. I want you to come at me with everything you got."
"Everything?" he asked reluctantly.
"Uh…except that. You know that might not be such a good idea to let people see…well you know what I mean."
"Yeah well sometimes I can't help it and right now I'm not in the best of moods. If that happens then it's on you."
"You know you're supposed to be learning how to control it."
"Yeah whatever." Naruto got in a fighting stance readying for battle.
"Oh please. What's that blonde freak going to do against an old white haired freak?" someone muttered. Naruto looked over to see Malfoy grinning with two of his buddies. Naruto took out a shurigen tossing it at him but Neji stopped it before it could graze him. "DAMMIT NEJI!"
"Well I'm sorry Naruto but you know you not supposed to fight amateurs," Neji huffed.
"AMATEUR! I'LL SHOW YOU AMETURE…STUPEFY!" Neji was instantly knocked backwards and right into Sasuke who caught him with ease. Sasuke leaned over and whispered in his ear.
"Either you get him for that or I'll hurt him myself."
"Don't worry. That prick's mine." Neji got up and glared at the blonde who was now staring at him as if daring him to make a move. "BYAKUGAN!" he shouted. Malfoy dropped his wand when he saw Neji's eyes.
"No. NO NO NEJI DON'T…!" Jiraiya shouted. Neji ignored him, spreading his arms and legs and getting into a stance his fellow shinobi knew all too well. The ground lit up with strange symbols causing some of the Hogwarts students to gasp.
"Hey…uh…what's he about to do?" Hermione asked Sakura.
"It's about to be bad. NEJI! NEJI DON'T! YOU KNOW LADY HOKAGE WOULDN'T LIKE THIS…never mind. I take that back," Sakura mumbled. My master's insane and hates for people to upstage her. She'd probably be proud of Neji. Sakura didn't have to worry for long. Kakashi appeared out of nowhere right between Malfoy, who was looking sick, and Neji, who looked pissed off at the world.
"Now, now boys. No fighting. Leave the fighting to Naruto and Master Jiraiya. Besides, comrades are not to fight each other."
"Hmph. You expect me to call a coward such as Draco a comrade? Please. I'd more likely call a member of the Akatsuki a comrade than that pale faced freak. At least THEY don't attack people when their backs are turned. Dishonorable."
"Alight. Alright. Settle down," Kakashi said with a sigh. He pushed Neji away and then walked over to make sure Malfoy was alright but he was too embarrassed. He shrugged Kakashi off and headed to the back of the crowd with his buddies.
"Ero senin, I'm bored. Can we get this demonstration out the way before I die of boredom?" Naruto groaned. He was laying on the ground staring up at the sky.
"Alright then. Think fast." Jiraiya did a bunch of hands signs before screaming 'SUMMONING JUTSU'! Naruto quickly sat up and screamed.
"WHAT?! THAT'S NOT FAIR! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIGHT YOU AND YOU'RE CHEATING?"
"Call out your toad," he shrugged.
"But…you know how Gamabunta is. He…he doesn't like to be bothered. Besides, you said we were going to fight one on one not two on two."
"Clearly you can come up with a better excuse than that. Are you afraid Naruto?" he teased.
"Screw you. Fine. I'll do it." Naruto quickly did his hands signs before screaming 'summoning jutsu'. A big thick cloud of smoke appeared and everyone eagerly waited to see the giant toad.
"Hi Naruto. What's shakin?"
"YOU! WHERE'S…WHERE'S GAMABUNTA?!" he screamed.
"Man, he's busy and says he hasn't the time to play with you. Besides, he hates Jiraiya and says that he'll kill him the next time he sees him."
"Gamatatsu…of all the…you tell boss toad that he'll have to catch me first to kill me. Now then class. That was your first demonstration as to how chakra works. You see, I am sitting on top of a much lager toad than Naruto. As you've probably guessed, summoning a giant toad like this requires much more chakra than summoning the likes of Gamatatsu."
"What is chakra?" Ginny asked.
"Well Ginny…ha ha. I see Ms. Granger knows the answer. Why don't we let her explain it? I bet she could explain it better than me or Jiraiya here." Kakashi nodded towards her and she immediately turned red in the face.
"Uh…well…according to wikipedia, it's basically life force energy," she answered.
"Very good." Kakashi smiled at her before turning to address the rest of the students. "Chakra is very VERY important to a ninja. Without it, our chances of winning an actual battle are slim to none. The chakra is what keeps us going. It's also necessary to perform ninjutsu and genjutsu type moves. Most battles can't be won unless we have at least enough chakra to perform a finishing type move which in most cases needs chakra to perform. Our only exception would probably be Might Guy or Rock Lee. Both aren't here today but their taijutsu is so powerful that rarely do they need to use any chakra based moves."
"So…this chakra? Do we have any of that stuff?" Ron asked.
"Of course," Jiraiya replied. "Everyone has chakra but not everyone has the ability to control and use it properly. Take Naruto for example. He has more chakra than anyone in Konoha but has no idea how to use it properly."
"WHAT?! WHADAYA MEAN I CAN'T USE IT PROPERLY?!" he screamed. The rest of the students were laughing at him except for Sakura who looked plum embarrassed.
"Let's do a quick demonstration," Jiraiya said with a smile. He jumped down off of his toad and held out his hand for everyone to see. In a matter of seconds a big swirling ball of chakra could be seen in his hand.
"Wow. That's so cool! What is that?" Harry asked.
"It's my chakra," he replied. He walked around the courtyard with his hand stuck out so that everyone could see. "You see, chakra isn't the easiest thing to control like this. It takes a lot of concentration to do what I'm doing but once you get the hang of it, like your wands, it becomes second nature. Alright. Naruto. Show us your rasengan."
"Huh? Yeah. Ok." Naruto put his hands together producing two clones. A few of the students gasped at the sudden appearance of two other Narutos.
"Wait a second Naruto."
"What?! WHY?!"
"I'm teaching here so be quiet! Anyway, you see the two other idiots that just appeared are called 'Shadow Clones'. Not everyone can do that as it's a jonin level technique. Alright then. Continue Naruto." Naruto's clones hovered over his hand until the blue ball of chakra appeared. They disappeared once Naruto had it in his hand.
"Now what? Do I hit the tree or something? I can't hold it forever you know."
"Right. Well you see how he used the clones to produce the same thing? His chakra control is very weak and therefore he can't produce the rasengan chakra like me. Also, the clones help him control the chakra but if you pay close attention, you can see how his hand is starting to shake."
"Aye…pervy sage…I can't hold it much longer…" he whined.
"Oh right then. Hit the tree Naruto." Naruto ran straight for the tree that was way behind the class.
"WAIT! NA…NARUTO! NOT THAT TREE!" Harry shouted but it was too late. When Naruto got close enough, a tree branch hit him square in the face, knocking him into the air. He ended up landing just a few feet in front of Jiraiya's favorite toad friend who licked him in the face. The students all burst out laughing, except for Harry and his friends who ran over to make sure Naruto was alright.
"You alright?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah. You just got knocked out by the Whomping Willow so…"
"The…the what?" Naruto asked. He tried to sit up but his head was killing him.
"The Whomping Willow. It's a living tree that's always in a bad mood," Ginny answered.
"Yeah and you aren't really supposed to go near it," Hermione finished. "It could kill you."
"What kind of school has a killer plant in the court yard?" he snapped.
"Uh…Hogwarts," Harry grinned. "Say, can you…" But his voice was drowned out by all of the shouting.
"HOW DARE YOU! I'LL KICK YOUR ASS! YOU KEEP MY FATHER'S NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!"
"MY FATHER'S DEAD WHICH GIVES ME MORE THAN ENOUGH REASON TO RIP YOU APART!" Harry recognized Draco's voice and ran over to see what all the fuss was about. He pushed his way through the crowd and saw Kakashi holding Sasuke while Professor Snape held Draco.
"I'LL HURT YOU THE NEXT TIME YOU TALK ABOUT MY FAMILY LIFE! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT!"
"AND I'LL HURT YOU THE NEXT TIME YOU DOWN MY FAMILY OR SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT MY FRIENDS. YOU KNOW NOTHING OF THE SHIT NARUTO HAS BEEN THROUGH! YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM OR I SWEAR I'LL…"
"Alright guys. That's enough," Jiraiya said with a sigh. "You know, I wanted to be the cool sensei at Hogwarts but all of this commotion…I have no choice but to give you guys detention. You too Neji for earlier. So…wherever Professor Snape deems detention then that's where you'll have it."
"The dungeons tonight," he replied dryly.
"Alright then. Now Snape is there anything you wish to show the class today? I think I've done enough. Next time, Slytherins and Gryffindors only."
"No. I'd rather vomit. Besides, they can't possibly start Dark Arts training without first properly studying some spells. I'll post their homework assignment on my door later. Unless there's anything else, you're free to go." All of the students started back towards the castle chatting excitedly about the events from the class. Professor Snape left hurriedly towads the castle as well. Kakashi and Jiraiya shook their heads and started back towards the castle.
"Wait. Kakashi…sensei." He and Jiraiya turned to see Hermione coming towards them.
"What can I do for you?" Kakashi asked. Her face turned red but she managed to speak anyway.
"Well sir…Naruto…he's still hurt. I think he needs to be taken to the hospital wing."
"I appreciate your concern for my star pupil," Jiraiya chuckled, "but I can assure you that he'll be alright. The kyuubi inside him heals him pretty quickly and most times medical attention isn't needed. Just rest. But if it makes you feel any better, Sakura is an elite medical ninja and I'll have her check him out before he goes to detention."
"Alright. But…he can't walk."
"HEY 'MIONE! I'LL CARRY HIM BACK TO THE CASTLE!" Harry shouted.
"Uh…ok…but…"
"I think Sasuke should do it," Kakashi stated. "He's a lot stronger so it will take less time."
"Alright then. Um…see you…tomorrow."
"I look forward to it," he grinned before poofing. Hermione ran back to the group and relayed the message. Harry however, looked a little sour.
"Alright then. Well…guess I'll see you guys in detention. Come on Ron. Let's go."
"I uh…I can't," he replied. He gave his friend a pleading look making him frown.
"And why not?"
"I uh…have to meet someone," he mumbled.
"Oh gee. I wonder who?" Hermione snapped. "You know Ron, I don't know why I even bother. Come on Ginny. Let's go."
"Uh…ok. Bie…you guys," she yelped as Hermione seemed to be dragging her back towards the castle. Harry sighed as he watched the girls storm off towards the castle. Figures. I suppose I should go shower and head straight for the dungeons. Then again, there's really no telling what that prick will have us doing tonight. He chanced a glance over at Naruto who was being held by Sasuke. With a sigh he started for the castle.
"Hey. Wait Harry. I'm coming with," Neji muttered.
"Aye. Me too," Sakura noted. Ron started for the castle with them but then detoured towards the lake where he was set to meet Ino. Sasuke soon started towards the castle as well holding the kit in his arms. He didn't start speaking until he was sure Harry and the others were way out of hearing range.
"You know, you sure do get into a lot of trouble."
"Yeah well I never knew trees could pack a punch," he groaned.
"Are you still hurt?"
"Yeah. My head's killing me."
"I'm gonna get a shower before detention. I think you should do the same. Maybe you'll feel a little better."
"Why does it matter to you? You've never cared about my well being before," he grumbled. They were now just entering the castle doors and Sasuke started up the stairs.
"I don't know. I suppose I just hate seeing others hurt you. That's my job," he smirked.
"Yeah and you tend to do that often," he muttered.
"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?" he frowned.
"Never mind. Not that you care and if you don't know then I'm not going to bother explaining. Put me down. I can walk now." Sasuke did as he was told letting his friend down. "I'll see you in detention," he grumbled before heading towards Gryffindor Tower. Sasuke let out a sigh and started for the Slytherin common room. Damn Naruto. What did you mean? I…I have always cared about you…Why wouldn't I care? Maybe it's because we're always fighting. But…why do we fight all of the time? All of these things ran through his head as he headed inside the common room. It was empty when he entered the room but he was sure everyone was either studying or out doing something fun. In the meantime, he had no time to dwell on it. He needed to shower and get ready for the most interesting detention he'd ever have. No lie.
--DADA--
When Ginny and Hermione got back to the common room they were both feeling pretty anxious. Hermione was pissed off at Ron for ditching her to meet Ino while Ginny was just ready to go meet Dean, but her loyalty to Hermione wouldn't let her leave her friend all alone. After a while of listening to Hermione fuss about Ronald, she finally decided that she'd go to the library.
"You sure you're ok?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah. I'm good. Now go meet Dean," she grinned. Ginny waved goodbye and dashed out the common room. Hermione followed suit, exiting the portrait hole and starting down the corridor. She was vaguely aware of where she was going. She was so lost in thought that she ran right into someone. "Oh goodness me. I'm so…"
"It's ok."
That voice…She looked up to see Kakashi standing before her. He had an open book but he quickly shut it smiling down at her.
"Uh…Kakashi sensei!" she yelped.
"Are you alright? You uh…I saw you coming down the corridor but you seemed lost. I could have moved out of the way but I was scared you'd run into the wall or something."
"Yeah…I'm…fine. I guess," she mumbled.
"Where are all your friends?" he inquired.
"Detention. But that's nothing new. Oh…and Ronald's somewhere being Ron. Oooo he just makes me so mad I could just…" She stomped her foot and pouted.
"Wow. I'm sorry that you're alone."
"It's alright. I was just about to head to the library anyway. I usually read on nights like this. Actually, I read all the time."
"Oh well what do you like to read?"
"Anything. Romance, hentai…"
"He…hentai?" he asked. I know she can't be serious? He tried to hide the shocked expression but it was no use. Hermione looked at him and giggled.
"Well…boy on boy hentai. Everything else is a little…not my style. I will read a good romance novel though."
"Oh well," he chuckled. "I have quite a few of those in my room. Would you like to sample one of Master Jiraiya's books? He's an excellent writer and takes his writing very seriously. You don't have to but…"
"Oh I'd love to!" she exclaimed.
"Alright. Well…I don't know all the rules of this place but…I'm not sure if I can have you in my room so I could just…"
"Oh screw the rules. I'm a genius and an all around good girl. No one's going to say anything. Besides, I don't want to be alone tonight," she added softly. Kakashi was going to say no but since he knew Hermione was an outstanding student, he agreed to let her come pick one out. Plus, she looked really hurt by Ron's actions and he hated seeing her hurt. Any woman for that matter.
"Alright. Let's get going then."
--ICHAICHA--
Naruto wrapped a towel around his waist and headed inside the shower room. He looked around and saw that there was one other shower running which relieved him. Maybe I'll be left alone. I don't think I can handle any teasing about my head injury. Naruto chose to shower at the very last area. The other person that was showering was no where to be seen and he didn't particularly want to shower next to him but it the best place to shower. It was far from the door which meant no one could walk in on him and see much of anything.
Naruto flung his towel over the banister and just stood under the steaming water, letting it wash every care away from him. Sasuke…Why? Why am I…thinking about Sasuke? Naruto groaned. That bastard. I hate him. He grabbed some shampoo and started washing his hair. It was strawberry shampoo but he didn't care. He'd forgotten his shampoo back in Konoha and had to use Sakura's. He washed his hair good and before long he was back in a fairly pleasant mood. Wow. Showering does put me in a better mood. He played around in the water shaking his blonde hair like a model.
"You know, if it wasn't a shame I'd eat you myself." Naruto turned around, his face red with embarrassment.
"Ha…Harry! How…long have you been there?" he asked nervously.
"Long enough to know that you smell like strawberries and should be Hogwart's main course for dinner everyday. You look and smell absolutely delicious."
"I…well…I don't know about that," he stammered. Harry shrugged before licking his lips approaching the young blonde. I want to taste him.
"Oh I know. Believe me I know. What guy or girl wouldn't want to taste something as delicious looking as you?" he said softly. Naruto took a few steps back but was stopped by the shower divider.
"Ha…Harry?" Harry smiled before pressing his wet, naked body next to the blonde. He dipped his head low licking the side of Naruto's neck.
"Just…delicious," he murmured.
"Ha…Harry. What are you…doing? I…" Harry slid his hands down the blonde's sides and behind his back, cupping his rear. His lips found the blonde's lips kissing him slowly. Naruto's lips reluctantly responded at first but soon Harry deepened the kiss, making Naruto's head spin. Harry moved his body up and down Naruto's body, letting his arousal brush up against the blonde's. Soft purrs escaped Naruto making the dark haired wizard want him even more.
"Oh God…purr for me again," Harry groaned. He ran a hand in between Naruto's legs clasping his erection. The blonde gasped at the sudden action but when Harry started stroking him, his gasps turned to purrs and moans.
"Mmm…Ha…Harry," he moaned. He was so turned on that he didn't know what to do with himself. Harry's stroking felt so good and he could feel himself wanting to cum.
"Touch me," Harry whispered. "Touch me like I'm touching you." Naruto quickly reached down and clasped Harry's erection. The instant he touched him, Harry bit his lip to keep from moaning out loud. Naruto stroked him slowly and before long, they both were purring and moaning from each other's touch. Harry picked up the pace and so did Naruto, stroking each other faster and faster.
"I…I can't…Harry I'm going to…" Harry covered Naruto's lips muffling his moan as he cried out from his release. Harry released at the same time as well, spilling himself all over the blonde. He wrapped his arms around Naruto burying his face in his neck.
"You smell so good and you feel so good," he whispered. "I…this might sound a bit cliché but I wish I could hold you like this forever."
"But…Harry…you don't…I mean…"
"I don't know Naruto. The first day I met you, I felt something that I've never felt with anyone else." He kissed his neck before grabbing a sponge. "Let's get cleaned up. We don't want to be late for detention with Snape. I'd really rather not hear his mouth more than I have to tonight."
"Hai."
AN: I know it's been a while but I think I told you before that updates would be slow on this one as it takes a great deal of time to write each chapter. No matter how long or short it is, I have to think several chapters ahead as I write so I don't get stuck. I know a lot didn't happen this chapter but hey, I suppose it'll get better...or worse.
Sasuke: "Can't get much worse than this. I can't believe you let...let Harry touch my beloved!"
Me: "Well...you aren't very nice to him sometimes."
Harry: "Yeah which is why I hope he stays with me. I'd treat him really good." -licks Naruto's neck-
Sasuke: "GET AWAY FROM HIM!" -punches Harry and both start rolling aoround on the floor-
Me: -sigh- "I haven't the time to deal with that. It's 2am and I'm sleepy. Anyway, I..."
Draco: "A dream come true for me. Sasuke and Harry rolling around on the ground...If only they were naked..."
Me: o.O
Neji: "As if either one of them would be interested in you."
Draco: "Oh shut it. You're just mad because you can't be with your beloved either. But I doubt you want her now. I had her screaming with..."
Me: "NEJI NO! HE'S JUST..." -sighs and watches as Neji knocks Draco to the floor-
Snape: "You need to learn to control your actors."
Me: "And YOU might wanna watch your attitude. Yo have no idea the things I could make happen between you and Tsunade."
Tsunade: "AND I'LL KICK YOUR ASS IF YOU DO!"
Me: "Um excuse me but you're just an animated character. And besides, you'll like it. Trust me. Anyway people, I have no idea when the next update will be but it probably wont be anytime soon as I need to update some other thing. Plus I have school in 6 weeks. But...I did hide a spoiler or two somewhere in this dialog sooo...have fun patiently awaiting the next chapter. The next chapter will be titled 'Detention on Lustful Nights'. Yeah. Something like that but it will be chocked full of silliness among other things. Oh and if you haven't already, add me to your myspace...or youtube...or imvu...or LJ. Ta ta."
