This is dedicated to ForeverDancer, because they asked for a chapter involving the ghosts. I doubt this is what you had in mind though...sorry...

"Why is it," Sasuke was gritting his teeth and glaring at the group of ghosts and students, "why is it that weak fools like you are allowed to continue and my-" He was shaking now and his sharigan was whirling full force, making the terrified students quiver and reminding Harry of a particularly snake-like person.

The dark haired boy seemed to be trying to say something, but finally threw his hands to his head, eyes closing. "Dammit!" the air around him literally became electrified. "Dammit!" the blue electricity began to spread from him.

"Sasuke," the strange masked man appeared in a flash in front to the students, facing the Uchiha, Naruto, and Sakura standing defensively beside him.

Sasuke's eyes snapped open, "..." and then he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"What was that?!" a teacher exclaimed, and then the whole Great Hall was in an uproar of confusion and exclamations. A few students had even fainted.

Naruto bit his lip and flitted off, leaving Kakashi and Sakura to do damage control- he had more important things on his mind.

He found Sasuke on a ledge outside, sitting, one leg curled up the other, hanging over the edge. Naruto paused for a moment, not used to this sort of thing, and wondered if he should have just left his teammate alone.

Alone,

Naruto shook his head. No one really wanted to be alone-he would know- and he promptly sat cross-legged next to the ebony eyed shinobi.

Sasuke, who had been staring out over the forest, shifted his eyes toward the blonde and then back.

For a while, they just sat that way, until finally Naruto spoke:

"I think...maybe your family didn't have ghosts...because they were strong."

Sasuke snapped his face toward him, and then looked away, "Hn."

Naruto took it as sign to continue, "I think that they were strong enough to be able to move on, despite their regrets. Those guys downstairs though... They just seem...kinda transparent."

Sasuke snorted nearly inaudibly. Naruto caught it though and grinned.

"Idiot," Sasuke murmured. The blonde decided to take the proverbial high road however and resisted the urge to stick his tongue out at the other boy.

"Seriously though, didn't you notice? Those guys...it's like they're too unreal. Like they're just pretend. Their personalities seem so, washed out...Like they've been reduced to comical caricatures of who they might have been."

Sasuke didn't answer and continued to stare out at the lush, green lake.

Naruto sighed and began to get up. He had said what he wanted, and if he stayed any longer Sasuke would probably get irritated.

Yet as he turned to go something pulled on his annoying robe. Surprised, Naruto turned back to see Sasuke, still looking out, but tugging on the coat corner. Smiling Naruto sat back down, stretching his legs out in front of him, then letting them hang off the ledge. Leaning back on his arms he grinned...

After a few moments he shifted his eyes to Sasuke, whose hand was still fingering the blonde's coat. ""At the least, I think you scared the shit out of 'the Children' "

Sasuke only smirked.

An: Review!! also shameless plug try out my other continuous Naruto fic "Akatsuki Naruto" I promise it's most likely not what you'd expect!
