I am definitely not the owner of Harry Potter and/or Naruto!

When Ron Weasley woke up on the second day of Winter Holidays, he woke up to an empty room, something that hadn't happened for a long time. Harry was nowhere to be seen, leaving Ron by himself in their shared room in Sirius's house. Ron looked around the room, making sure he hadn't somehow missed his best friend. However, the room was still empty.

Just as Ron got out of bed and started tugging on a jumper and pants, Harry opened the door. "What are you doing?" Harry looked at Ron's odd assortment of muggle clothing that he was attempting to put on. Ron grinned a little before getting rid of the complicated clothing –probably a hand-me-down from Charlie or Bill –before donning something far easier to wear. "Ron, the three guards are here for the holidays. They're downstairs with your mum and Sirius"

"What are they doing here?" Ron asked, unsure of why the Hogwarts guard were at 12 Grimmauld Place.

"I don't know. But they're not wearing their masks. Get Hermoine and I'll meet you downstairs in the kitchen. Ok?" Harry adjusted his glasses and walked down the stairs. Ron walked a few doors down before knocking on the door to Hermoine and Ginny's room –he didn't want to get hexed for not knocking. Ron patiently counted to thirty in his head before opening the door.

"Hermoine, come down stairs as fast as possible. Ginny, stay here. And hurry!" before his little sister had time to protest –Ron knew that she would –he slammed the door closed and leaned against the banister. After a few short minutes, Hermoine walked out and the two ran for the kitchen.

"Hi again, Harry. I hope you weren't trying to be sneaky with those loud footsteps." Ron and Hermoine heard a cheery voice greet their best friend. The two prefects glanced at each other, as neither had heard Harry's footsteps.

"Do not look so unyouthful, Harry Potter! You can still live in your springtime of youth!" a loud and eccentric voice called out.

"Quiet, Lee. You'll wake the others." The loud one –Lee –was reprimanded by a sharp and commanding voice.

"And Harry, call your two friends into the kitchen. It's rude to sneak around so badly." The same cheery voice beckoned Ron and Hermoine into the kitchen.

The two walked through the doorway and sat on either side of Harry across from the three guards. Sirius leaned against a wall while drinking a cup of coffee. "So, how have you been, Hermoine?" the woman sitting across from them asked.

She leaned forward on her right hand, her elbow on the table. Her brown eyes stared at Hermoine and her hair was in twin buns on her head. "Dragon?" Hermoine asked.

"Just Tenten when I'm not wearing the mask." The woman smirked and leaned slightly towards the pale man with long hair.

"Oh, what are you three doing here?" Hermoine's head tilted ever-so-slightly to the left as she asked her question.

"According to our contract with Dumbledore-san, we have a break during the Winter Holidays. Sirius offered to let us stay here, at his house." The pale man with white eyes responded.

"Of course. I'm assuming that you're Bird, then?"

"Until we return to Hogwarts, you may call me Neji."

The one in all green stood up and gave the three a thumbs up. "And I am Rock Lee!" he told them, and his overly white teeth shined. "The green beast of –" Tenten slapped a hand over Lee's mouth before he could say anymore.

"It's not important where we come from. Just know that Dumbledore-san trusts us to complete our job." She smiled and released Lee.

"Sirius-san, is there a room we can use for training? Preferably a large room with thick walls. Or perhaps an outdoor space?" Neji asked, his lilac-tinted eyes peering at Sirius unnervingly.

"Yes, the cellar is large and mostly sound-proof. Even if it is a little dark and musty…" Sirius responded, thinking about how long it had been since the cellar was cleaned.

"Neji, we're on break from our mission. Do we really have to train?"

"I am unsure of why you complain, Tenten. You are the one that insists on training every night after patrolling the campus, or am I wrong?" Neji asked her, raising an eyebrow.

Tenten scratched the back of her neck awkwardly. "Well, that's out in the open near the forest. Not in some dirty old cellar."

"We could always 'Floo' back to Hogwarts and train there every day." Neji threatened, and Tenten's eyes widened.

"Fine, fine. I'll practice in the cellar." She turned to Harry, Ron, and Hermoine before saying, "Would it kill them to take a break from training for once?" She turned from the trio to Sirius, "Anyways, is there a room for us to stay in, or should we sleep in the kitchen?"

"There's a room upstairs for the three of you to share. Is that alright?"

"It is overly youthful, my friend!" Rock Lee exclaimed. Tenten just sighed and put her head in her hands.

"Couldn't be on a normal squad, like Ino or Hinata. I just had to be on the same team as Gai-sensei's look alike and the fate-obsessed Neji… What did I do to deserve this?"

Just then Ginny, Fred, and George walked in. "What happened to her?" Fred –or was it George? –asked.

"So, what's going on? You three ran down here in a hurry, that's for sure." Ginny asked, eyeing the three guards warily.

"We are staying the holidays in this youthful home!" Rock Lee responded.

"What's so 'youthful' about it?" George –or Fred –asked grumpily.

Before Lee could respond, Tenten dragged him to the entrance to the kitchen. "You know, I think we should go train in the creepy cellar. Let's go train in the creepy cellar. Neji aren't you coming?" she asked, then hurried Lee out of the room and into the cellar.

"What's her problem?" Fred –or George –asked.

After a few hours, the three guards still hadn't come out of the cellar. Every few minutes or so, they could hear thumps and crashes from the basement, so Mrs. Weasley sent Remus to make sure everything was all right.

Remus opened the door to the cellar, only to find Neji sitting on the stairs with his legs crossed, meditating. On the floor, Lee and Tenten were sparring, but Remus could only see blurs of green and rapid movements by Tenten. After only a few seconds, Remus saw seven knives (A/N: they're kunai, but Remus doesn't know that. Yet) pin Lee to the wall. Tenten pulled a sword from a scroll attached to her wrist and held it against Lee's throat. "I win, Lee."

"For that defeat, I must run up and down the stairs one hundred times without disturbing Neji. And if I cannot do that, I shall challenge my eternal rival to a duel. And if I cannot win that, then I shall do all the chores for Weasley-san. And if I cannot do that, then I shall walk up and down the stairs 100 times on my hands. And if I cannot do that –"

"We get it, Lee. No need to keep challenging yourself."

"But Tenten!"

"Is there something you need, Lupin-san?" Neji asked over his teammates' loud argument.

"Just wanted to check on you three. And to make sure that you know the way to your room." Tenten collected her knives and the two climbed the stairs to face Remus.

"That sounds great. I could use a shower…" Tenten muttered, moving her bangs out of her eyes.

Bonus!

The three stood in their room, disbelief etched across Tenten's features. "Seriously? A house as big as this one, and there's only one bed? Jeez…"

"It is unyouthful to complain, dear Tenten!" Lee reminded her innocently, completely unaware of his teammate's sudden anger. Neji carefully stepped in between the two.

"It's a big bed. We can share it." He told them, and set his sack on the ground by the bureau.

"We haven't done that since our Genin days. I don't know if we can all fit…" Tenten muttered dubiously.

"Come on Tenten! If we do not fit, then I will do one thousand pushups. And if I cannot do that, then I will walk around the house fifty times on my hands. And if I cannot do that, then I will only bother the twins for the rest of the holidays. And if I cannot do that –"

"What did you just say?" Neji asked, unable to believe what he had just heard. The Hyuuga prodigy stared at his teammate with raised eyebrows. Not once in the many years he had known Lee, had his teammate declared that he wouldn't bother the two of them as one of his self-imposed punishments.

Lee, however, had already started unpacking with 'youthful' vigor, and didn't take notice of his comrades. "Just let him be, Neji." Tenten smiled. "Who knows, maybe we'll have time to ourselves for once."

The Hyuuga gave his trademark smirk. "I'd like that, Ten." He swiftly kissed her before turning his attention to his own belongings that needed to be unpacked.

Hello my lovely readers! I've been really busy with all my classes, not to mention sports, clubs, and theatre stuff, so I haven't had much time to write. However, I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter (personally, I don't like the ending, but…)! Please review and tell me your thoughts!

QoU: Which is your favorite Weasley child?

My answer: Probably Charlie. I just think that it's awesome that he works with dragons, plus he's brought reinforcements to the Battle of Hogwarts (kinda saved a part of the day, in my opinion).

Oh yeah, so, I'm running out of QoU's so, review or pm me any ideas you have for that (if you want to, that is).

P.S. I made a twitter account for fanfiction, which will have update notices and maybe some previews of upcoming chapters/stories. My account name is "writingnerd291" so follow me if you're interested!
