Fox and Ghost sat down at the back of the classroom with a group of fourth years, which they realised were Gryffindors and Slytherins, and Fox set down all of his papers on the desk and sat down on a chair whilst Ghost sat on top of the table, pointing things out that needed changing on the report. The professor walked into the classroom and took a quick glance at the two guards, wondering why one of them was writing but then she turned back to her class and started the lesson. After about twenty minutes Fox had finally finished the reports and stood up, whispering to Ghost, telling him where he was going and would be back in a few minutes and Ghost nodded in acknowledgement. Fox quickly walked out of the classroom and made his way towards the owlry to send the reports off to the Hokage. The task took about five minutes to complete and he was back inside the classroom in no time, he quietly walked in and sat down on top of the desk with Ghost whilst unconsciously swinging his legs back and forth. "Well it is nearly the end of October so the other two schools should be here in another two weeks," Ghost said to Fox in a quite tone so he didn't disturb the lesson, "Yeah and that is when our job gets even harder but we should be really lucky that the Akatsuki haven't found out where I am yet." Fox replied in the same quiet tone and Ghost nodded, "Well even if they do, we will still beat them and then you won't have to worry about them," He said as he looked at Fox and Fox just nodded in return before facing the class again.

The class had finally finished and the students went to their next class along with Fox and Ghost, "So when do you think we will get the equipment and resources we requested?" Ghost asked Fox as they were walking to their class, "Probably at lunch so whoever has a free schedule after lunch can take all of the stuff to our dorm." Fox replied before opening the door to the classroom and waiting for all of the students to walk into their DADA class. "I really don't like this lesson, I mean it's not that bad but for wizards who are underage it is just too gruesome, I mean why would Dumbledore-san allow this?" Ghost said as they sat on top of a desk at the back of the classroom, "I don't know but I have a feeling that Dumbledore doesn't really know what the professor is teaching them." Fox replied before giving a slight glare behind his mask towards the DADA professor. The class were practicing on warding off the Imperius curse but only a few students were able to slightly do it before they gave in to the curse. "It can't be that hard can it?" Ghost said to Hawk who had walked in a few moments ago to talk to Fox, "That depends on how much will power you have," Professor Moody replied before Hawk could answer. "Maybe you would like to have a try?" Moody said to the three guards and Ghost and Hawk looked at Fox, "I don't see why not, let's see what all the fuss is about," Fox replied and the three guards stepped forwards, Hawk going first. Hawk stood there for a few seconds not realising Professor Moody had said the incantation and he looked around before looking at the professor, "Have you done it yet?" He asked and the students gaped at him whilst a frown started to make its way onto Moody's face, "Yes actually I have but you don't seem to be affected by it." Moody stated before Ghost stepped up to have a go, the same thing happened to him which made the frown on Moody's face grow and a few of the students, mostly Gryffindors who Fox recognised, smile and look proud. Finally Fox switched places with Ghost and Moody tried again and after a few seconds his expression changed to one of shock and confusion before it returned back to a frown, too quick for anyone but the guards to see. "Well it seems all of you are immune to it so it shouldn't be a problem if you were to meet a bad witch or wizard that tried to do that to you in the future." Moody said before looking at Fox again in slight interest, which automatically made Hawk and Ghost move forwards slightly in a protective manner, then he turned back to the students and continued with his lesson until the hour was up.

Finally it was time for lunch and the students, staff and guards were making their way to the Great Hall where they all took their seats, talking to their friends or colleagues and started filling their plates up when the food appeared on the table. "Who has a free schedule next?" Fox asked the rest of his teammates whilst he filled his plate, "I do, why?" Slug replied while she also finished filling her plate full of food, "Well the items Lady Tsunade is sending us should arrive soon so sine we all have to guard lessons please could you take all of the stuff to our dorm?" Fox asked her before lifting hi mask up slightly so you could see his mouth but not much else then he proceeded to lift his fork to his mouth and put the food in his mouth. "Yeah sure I will do," Slug replied and then they all continued to eat their meal in silence and they were about half way through their meals when an owl carrying a large box came through one of the windows and landed on the table, drawing a lot of people's attention. Fox put his fork down and picked up the box whilst Cat fed the owl some food as a thank you and watched as the owl flew off. Fox looked at the seal on the box before he made a few hand seals and released the seal on the box before proceeding to open it, "Well it seems Baa-chan was able to give us everything we asked for," Fox said as he began to take things out and placing them in piles, one for each person, and ignored the feeling of being watched seeing as a lot of attention had been drawn to them. By the time he had sorted everything out only the weapons remained in the box, "We can divide the weapons between us later on, "Fox said and looked at all of the piles, Everyone had a new cloak, a few pairs of ANBU undershirts and pants, two pairs of sandals, a winter cloak and two pairs of gloves and each of them had a few letters from friends and family back in Konoha and Naruto had an extra one from Tsunade. Deer picked up his pile and put it back into the box before doing the same with all of the other piles so that it would be easier for Slug to carry the box back up to their dorm. "Well now that that's sorted we can finish our meals before we have to carry on guarding." Deer said in a bored tone before he sat back down and carried on eating his meal.

"What do you think that was about?" Ron asked Harry and Hermione whilst he ate his meal, "I don't know but from the looks of it, it seems that they got sent supplies as well as a few letter for each other them, maybe from friends and family." Hermione replied and Dean, Seamus and Neville all looked at her then at the guards, "It's hard to think that they probably live a normal life like us back in their home country when they aren't on a mission," Dean said as he looked at them and the others nodded in agreement, "Yeah like they probably do what anyone else does, go out with friends and have a family," Seamus replied, "I wonder how old they actually are, I mean their captain, Fox, acts a bit childish from time to time, whenever I see him in a class he is always sat on the table with his partner, swinging his legs but then sometimes he acts as an adult." He carried on and Hermione nodded in agreement before thinking for a moment, "Well if you think about it logically, they probably didn't have a proper childhood, seeing as they were raised as ninja so they had to grow up fast but even then some of them managed to keep at least one or two childlike attributes. I mean look at Slug, she twirls her hair sometimes, which is what a teenager would do, Fox swings his legs and sometimes pranks his teammates but then gets punched by Slug for it, Turtle is quite loud and Dove also twirls her hair. Whereas Ghost sounds as if he doesn't have any emotions most of the time and Hawk seems mature and Deer is the tactician so he obviously has a high IQ" Hermione replied and the others looked at her in disbelief, "How could you work all that out in just one and a half months?" Neville asked but before she could replied Ron decided to answer for her, "Isn't it obvious, she's a bloody genius, that's why." Hermione smiled at him before continuing her meal.

Lunch had finally finished and Slug had taken everything but the letters up to their dorm room before she helped Bear and Hawk with patrolling the corridors and the three of them took a few minutes break to read the letters they had been given. Slug had three, one from her parents, one from her Sensei, Kakashi and one from Lady Tsunade and Shizune. The one from her parents were asking how she was doing and whether they needed to send anything for her, the one from Kakashi was asking how the mission was going, if she was doing ok and if Fox and Sai were ok seeing as he was also their teacher and the one from Lady Tsunade and Shizune were also asking how she was doing and whether she was keeping up with her studies in medic ninjutsu. Bear had a letter from his parents and he wished he had one from his Sensei, Asuma, but unfortunately he was killed by the Akatsuki a few weeks before the mission, the one from his parents were asking how he was doing, how the mission was going and whether he needed anything sending to him. Hawk had two letters, one from his uncle, who was also Cat's father, and the other was from his Sensei, Gai. The one from his uncle was asking how he was doing and how the mission was going and how Cat was doing and surprisingly he asked whether Fox was doing ok but this might be because he had grown a soft spot for Fox just like everyone else he had spoken to and it could also be because he knew about the Three Tails being captured and Fox couldn't do anything about it. The one from Gai was also asking how the mission was going but it was also asking how his other two students, Dragon and Turtle were doing then he started going off about youthfulness, which Hawk eventually gave up on reading.

Fox and Cat sat on a thick tree branch whilst watching over the Care of Magical Creatures lesson when they both decided to look at the letters they were given. Cat had been given two, one from her father and sister and one from her Sensei, Kurenai. The one from her father and sister asked her how the mission was going and hoped that they would see her, and it also asked how Fox was, not that she would tell him that, but she smiled to herself, realising her father didn't mind Fox as much anymore. The one from her Sensei also asked how the mission was going but it also asked how she was doing and how Bug was doing seeing as he had only just arrived after recovering from an injury he had received on a previous mission along with Bear. Fox had three letters, one from Kakashi, one from his other Sensei, Jiraiya, and one from Lady Tsunade. The one from Kakashi asked how the mission was going and whether he, Slug and Ghost, seeing as the three of them were on the same team, he didn't really care about how Ghost was but asked anyway, were okay or not. The one from Jiraiya was saying that he would be going on a scouting mission soon but he would visit in a few months to train him a bit more, it was also asking how he was and then he talked about the three-tails being captured. The one from Lady Tsunade was asking him if he was okay and to make sure he send the reports in and it was asking him about his thoughts on the three-tails being captured and telling him not to worry about it. Fox sighed before putting his letters away and focused on keeping guard of the lesson.

The rest of the day went by slowly and eventually it was time for dinner and everyone made their way into the Great Hall and focused on their meals and the guards were concentrating on what to put in the reply letters and by the time dinner had finished they had finished their letters and gave them to Bug to send off either after the meal or in the morning. Fox and Cat made their way to the Gryffindor common room in a comfortable silence, both looking at the moving pictures until they eventually reached the portrait of the Fat Lady. Fox said the password before they walked through the portrait hole and into the common room, where they then proceeded to sit down in their usually spot. The students had left that space for them so that they would have somewhere nice to sit after having to guard the school all day and part of the night seeing as they would have to guard the common room until all of the students had gone to sleep. It didn't take long for the students to go to bed this night so the two guards only had to wait for about an hour before they went back to the comfort of their own common room where they take off their masks and cloaks and talk to their teammates as friends and not as colleagues before eventually drifting off to their rooms and falling asleep in their beds.

I hope you enjoyed it, thanks for reading and please be sure to review it would mean a lot, thank you.

Until next time!
