Chapter X

The Anbu Pair

Naruto couldn't stand the sight. He saw the look of grief on his partner's face and his clenched fists. Sasuke suddenly turned to Naruto not caring about the other form in front of him.

"Naru…." He did not want to hear him finish the sentence. Before Sasuke even could Naruto had spun around and run out the door.

Sasuke did not leave a spare moment. He immediately ran after the blonde shouting his name.

The Golden Trio glanced at each other before making to run out the door as well but were surprised when something held them back. Three heads turned to see Hidan and Deidara.

Deidara grinned and leaned forward, resting the lower half of his arm on Harry's shoulder.

"Give them a chance to make up, un," He grinned. Harry looked at him in shock at first but his features then relaxed into a smile. He nodded in understanding at the blonde.

Sasuke had lost Naruto. He had been running recklessly through the corridors desperately looking for the blonde.

'Damn why is he so fast?' He cursed before slowing down. He had reached the astronomy tower. The balcony was the only place he had not looked in the entire castle.

'You better be here dobe' He thought, taking hold of the door handle. When he opened the door he was relieved to see that Naruto was there.

He was sitting on the ledge looking up at stars. He didn't turn his head but he noticed Sasuke's presence anyway. Before Sasuke could say anything Naruto interrupted him.

"You know I should have guessed." He said sadly. "Why else would you be ignoring me."

Sasuke looked down, ashamed of himself. "That's not it Naruto." He whispered. Naruto looked round swiftly and jumped of the ledge.

"Then what is it?" He asked taking a few steps towards the Uchiha. Sasuke responded by taking several steps back. His back slammed against the wall beside the door he had just come through.

"Why else would you ignore me?" Naruto continued. "I'll tell you why." He bent his head downwards so that his face was hidden. Sasuke bit his lip.

"It's because I'm a monster."

"Naru….."

"It doesn't matter. You don't have to force yourself to be with me." Naruto finished reaching out for the door handle. Before he could touch it Sasuke grabbed him by the shoulders and pushed him against the wall.

He placed his arms on either side of his partner so that there was no room to escape.

"I'm not forcing myself. You're not a monster Naruto," Sasuke said gently.

Naruto scowled "You're lying." Sasuke looked away and Naruto continued.

"Why are you pretending? I saw it. You're afraid of Kyuubi." He snapped

"I'm not." Sasuke raised his voice.

"Stop lying to me!" Naruto shouted at his partner.

"Why don't you just say that you hate me?" At this Sasuke finally looked round and shouted back.

"HE TAKING YOU FROM ME!" Naruto was struck silent. Sasuke wished he could do the same, but the words all fell out.

"Every night he appears! And you never remember! He's taking over you…and it's my fault." Sasuke admitted bitterly.

"He told you that?" Naruto whispered. His partner looked away, not wanting to meet the other's eyes.

A small smile appeared on Naruto's face; he reached out and hugged Sasuke.

"He told you that?" Naruto whispered. His partner looked away, not wanting to meet the other's eyes. A small smile appeared on Naruto's face; he reached out and wrapped his arms around Sasuke. "You idiot…." He whispered resting his face into the crook of Sasuke's neck. He rubbed his thumbs soothingly over his neck and assured him breathily "I'm not going anywhere."

The look that struck Sasuke was nothing short of pain. For once, the disapproving voices in his head fell silent and his hands did what they needed. What Sasuke knew they both so desperately yearned after to reassure them that fate was still theirs to control. He hugged his partner back desperately, burying his face in Naruto's hair and twining his arms around his waist, hoping deep inside that if he held on tight enough he would never escape. Naruto could never slip away.

Deidara, Hidan and the Golden Trio watched the two ninja through a window parallel to them. Hermione and Ron stood mouths agape beside Harry who was confused as to whether he shoud smile or look outraged along with his friends. He opted to smile.

Hidan smirked "Aren't they sweet?"

Deidara smiled along with his partner. He turned to Harry and smirked "Told you not to worry, un."

"How'd you know?" Harry asked prying his gaze away from the window.

"That…." Deidara started but was interrupted.

"They remind you of you and Sasori don't they?" Hidan said flatly, Jashin forbid he would say it with conviction. Both Harry and Deidara looked at him astounded.

"Un…."

"Oh was Sasori your boyfriend? I thought he was your brother or something." Harry said cheerfully while Ron and Hermione turned curiously, obviously having missed some of the details.

"No un….he was just a friend." Deidara admitted.

"Who're you fucking kidding Deidara? You loved the bastard to pieces." Hidan commented. "So much that it was fucking embarrassing to look at sometimes." Deidara glared at him.

"Are you people all gay or something!" Ron finally shouted from next to them all. Everyone looked at him in shock but Ron's frustration at being left out of the loop was manifesting itself in entirely the wrong way.

"Yeah, you fucking tell them!" Hidan smirked. Hermione merely stood there in both shock and confusion.

"How can you talk Hidan? Kakuzu is a guy too, un"

"I didn't love Kakuzu." Hidan retorted. "Besides, Jashin says that labels are stupid.

"Oh no, you just slept with him, un" Deidara pouted back, deciding to dismiss the Jashin comment for another time when they were in private. Ron gasped at this and Hermione finally decided she could not take it. She tutted loudly before turning at the heel and walking away.

"What's up with her?" Hidan asked nonchalantly but his answer was cut off by Hermione's shout at Ron to follow her. Ron turned scarlet but he tottered of behind her anyway. Harry simply laughed.

"Let's just say Hermione's kind of old fashioned." Harry explained. Deidara and Hidan glanced at each other before both falling to the floor in fits of laughter.

Harry smiled to himself. 'I knew that they weren't bad' He thought 'a little flamboyant and crazy, yeah, but not bad' then he heard a voice from behind him.

"What's so funny?" Harry spun around and smiled. Naruto and Sasuke were stood next to each other. Sasuke was once again wearing his stoic expression and Naruto was grinning.

"Hey." Naruto said walking up to them.

"Hey. You guys made up?" He asked even though he didn't need to. He just enjoyed the blush it caused on the blonde's face.

"Yes….I guess we have." Naruto said. Harry grinned before saying.

"Great! Look I have a question. Since you're all here I'd like to ask you about the secret classes."

Deidara and Hidan stopped laughing and looked in curiosity at the other two ninja's.

"I still think we should let them." Naruto said cheerfully. He turned to Sasuke waiting for him to speak.

Sasuke sighed and shut his eyes, Naruto grinned. "Teme agrees."

Sasuke hit his partner over the head. "OW! Teme what was that for?" Naruto pouted.

"Don't call me that dobe!"

"I thought you didn't like us Naru." Deidara smiled mockingly. Naruto returned the smile and said sarcastically.

"Whatever gave you that idea," He said, whilst smiling sweetly.

Harry shivered when he saw the smile. It reminded him of a certain professor.

"Harry Potter!" He groaned, 'Speak of the devil.'

"Would you mind explaining what you are doing out so late?" Umbrige said shrilly as she walked towards them. Her eyes moved towards the two Akatsuki and she looked shocked.

"Mr. Hidan and Deidara I'm ashamed of you. I would expect this from them. But not from you."

Deidara and Hidan rolled their eyes at this. Naruto and Sasuke however raised their eyebrows.

"Mr. Deidara, Mr Hidan?"

"Well we couldn't tell her our last names could we?" Deidara retorted. "Come to think of it Hidan, what the fuck IS your last name un?" Naruto simply stuck his tongue out at them.

"Silence!" Umbrige screeched causing everyone except for the ninja to jump.

"You will all be serving me in detention tomorrow night. Now get to bed immediately." She said harshly.

The ninja's and Harry all rolled their eyebrows before turning and heading back towards their dorms.

That same night when Naruto, Harry and Sasuke had returned to the Gryffindor boy's dormitory Sasuke spoke to Kyuubi again.

"You know Uchiha; you've given strength to him again." Kyuubi said. The Jinchuuriki was sitting on Sasuke's bed watching the Uchiha change. Sasuke looked briefly at Kyuubi before speaking.

"I thought that was bad for you,"

"It is but somehow I like kit besides, did I ever actually say that I wanted full control?." Kyuubi stood up and walked over to Sasuke. "He's not leaving you….Not yet"

Kyuubi smirked and lazily slinked his arms around Sasuke's neck. Before the raven could react, Kyuubi's face was in front of his, his nose pressed lightly to his and the breathy words were uttered and danced across Sasuke's lips. "Well done Uchiha." With this Kyuubi leaned in and planted his lips firmly on Sasuke's. There was nothing chaste about it and it left no room for argument. Sasuke's eyes widened in shock when he realised what was happening. But all ideas of resistance were thrown to the winds when Kyuubi greedily began to suck and nip at his bottom lip. That was a challenge and it was punctuated when Kyuubi pulled the belt loops of Sasuke's trousers closer to grind his hips into the others. Sasuke let out a lusty gasp and despite his better judgement granted Kyuubi access. Nothing made sense to him. He was kissing Naruto and yet it wasn't Naruto. So it was his dismissal of all sense of reason that convinced him to press the other against the wall and hungrily begin to return the kiss.

But air is necessary and eventually the two ninja parted for breath. Sasuke opened his eyes. He looked into his partner's face and to his horror, opposite him weren't blood red eyes but cerulean, blue eyes.

At some point during the kiss, Kyuubi had changed back to Naruto…and this time, Naruto remembered. Wow, he hated that fox

"Hey guys…don't tell me you've fought again." Harry said exasperatedly.

It was lunch time and the Golden Trio, Naruto and Sasuke were in the Great Hall.

Naruto blushed and brushed it off. "No not really." They glanced at each other and then simultaneously blushed and looked away.

Harry raised and eyebrow but he diverted his attention when he noticed Ron like many other males in the room were gazing in a certain direction. He followed their eyes and his gaze landed on an extremely beautiful, albeit unusual girl who had just walked through the large doors.

She had shoulder length pink hair with a blue band through her hair. She was dressed in black robes but had no specific house on them.

She looked over the crowd and her face lightened when she spotted Harry and her friends. Harry could have sworn she was running over to him but was surprised when he noticed the shocked look on Naruto's face when the blonde spotted her.

Naruto's next words explained his shocked look.

"Sakura."

There he is again Kyuubi the perv! And Sakura is finally here. I personally couldn't wait to bring her to Hogwarts so that I could get rid of her. (no not kill her…..but I did think about it :P)

Anyway I hoped you like it. And as always Review Please!
