KOBAYASHI MARU
Disclaimer: I don't own neither Naruto or Harry Potter, nor the characters. I only own this little story.
Shout Out: By popular demand, Kobayashi Maru is back. As for making the snippets into the story, I will do it someday, if I will have time and inspiration. I already should've worked on my other stories, so Kobayashi Maru will be on the backburner for some time. /Cringes/ Yes, it's evil - yes, I am a supreme meanie of the universe, but I can't help it.
Warnings: Slash –Danzo/Harry, with addition of Itachi/Shisui. Au-verse /yawn/ Onward to the reading.
61) Chaos
For the time of Danzo's…absence, Konoha was in chaos. Nobody even knew just how much work Danzo was doing – running ROOT, being on the council, working as Hokage's personal advisor… if Sarutobi thought his workload was hard, then Danzo's was positively staggering. Sobbing at his misfortune, the old Kage swore to himself to raise Danzo's pay… and workload.
Especially workload.
62) Jealously
Danzo felt strange pang in his throat as he watched Harry being seduced by some rich, sexy and good-looking young man. Lowering his head, he quietly compared himself to the beautiful man and found himself wanting.
63) Claimed
Harry glared at the gloating idiot in front of him. His… admirer… may be a paragon of maleness, but in that moment, Harry wanted nothing more than smash the idiot's pretty face into the wall and go back to Danzo.
64) Faithful
"Danzo, you idiot," Harry's sharp voice rang into the darkened room. "Did you see the inscription on your ring?" Mutely, Danzo nodded, his face sulky. "I'll tell you what it means," Harry continued, green eyes blazing as he approached his stubborn lover. "It's inscribed in Latin, one of the old languages of my country. 'Semper Fi'. This was a motto of soldiers everywhere, particularly ones in the elite squadrons. And do you know what it means?" Harry's voice became softer. "Always faithful." Danzo blinked. A moment later, dark eyes widened and Danzo grabbed Harry into a crushing hug, giving him the most possessive kiss to date.
65) Change
Harry stared at Naruto's clothes, horrorstruck. The orange monstrosity was blindingly bright, reminding him of Ron's Chudley Cannons-themed room something terrible. Then, he grabbed the brat by the scruff of his jacket and hauled him back to his room. Itachi smirked. "Told ya so." The ROOT ANBU just groaned and paid up.
66) Lube
"And just why," Danzo began dangerously, making his two surrogate sons wince, "did you feel the need to use OUR lube?" Itachi and Shisui looked at each other, shamefaced. "Because it was at hand?" Shisui squeaked out. Danzo groaned. Such was the price of having a pair of sex fiends in the house. "Next time, use your own," he ordered. "And you will buy a new one to compensate for the loss." Not that it mattered; the trouble would be If the troublesome duo found out Danzo's and Harry's secret stash of special toys.
67) Candid
"Is that a ring on your finger, Danzo?" Koharu asked, leaning forward eagerly. Danzo sipped a bit of his tea. " Why yes, it is," he agreed candidly. The councilwoman's eyes widened. "A – Are you married!" she squeaked out, bringing them into attention of the whole council. Danzo grinned. "Didn't you know?" He began innocently. "And I just got back from the honeymoon."
The proverbial bomb was dropped.
68) Wife
"Are you saying I am a wife in our relationship?" Harry growled out dangerously, as he heard out the whole shebang. Danzo smirked. "I just told them that I was married," he pointed out. "I didn't say I had a wife – that was their own conclusion." The excuse didn't save Danzo from thorough bottoming that night.
69) Rumor
"How the fuck did the old bastard manage to marry, anyway?" Izumo pondered aloud. "He's old as dirt, couldn't get it up if his life depended on it and he's ugly as death…" He looked at Kotetsu, who paled progressively with the each accusation Izumo spouted. "… and he's standing right behind me, ain't he?" Izumo muttered, gulping. "Kotetsu nodded slowly."
…."Oh, fuck."
70) S-class
Danzo's marriage was unofficially official secret of Konoha. Sorta like Kyuubi's… whereabouts. You knew about it, but you didn't speak about it, for fear of your life and sanity.
Especially your sanity.
71) Felicitations
Sarutobi stared at his old colleague mutely. Since the announcement, his mental faculties suffered a massive crash down. "So… You are married," He stated slowly. "Yes," Danzo nodded, dark eyes sparkling. "In a manner of speaking." Sarutobi blinked. "In a manner of – "He choked as the implication of the five little words dawned on him. Danzo smirked. "What? No congratulations?" He asked innocently.
72) Wanna
Pouting, Naruto stomped into the den. "Papa! Father!" he called out, as he banged at the door of the onsen. He knew better than to barge in, after all. His innocent – yeah, right – brains already suffered enough. "I wanna join ROOT!" Two pairs of eyes looked at each other in astonishment.
73) Late
Kakashi Hatake was late. Again. But this time, his eyes locked onto the slender, pretty form of a green-eyed man who was chatting with Naruto. Smiling lecherously, he thought that being late indeed had benefits.
74) Pursuit
Since that day, Harry was relentlessly pursued by the one-eyed pervert. Not even Harry being married stopped Kakashi – but Harry's two adopted sons sure did.
75) Fangirl
Kurenai was known as Ice Queen of Konoha. But what nobody knew, she was also a closet fangirl of yaoi action between two hot men. And seeing Danzo and Harry was too much for the porn-deprived Genjutsu mistress, landing her straight into ninth yaoi heaven and into hospital for a week from blood loss via nose.
76) Curious
Iruka, as anybody else, was curious of Danzo's… sweetheart. Anko knew – or at least she claimed so. Iruka didn't believe the snake mistress. He sighed. "You know, I would be greatly reassured if I could meet his wife," he remarked to his… partner. Green eyes looked at him curiously. "Why? Danzo married, and that is that." Iruka pouted. "I'm just curious about the person that managed to catch the old war hawk's heart," he grumbled out. "Is that a crime? " Naruto snickered into his bowl. Harry groaned, cuffing the blond's head gently. "Besides, you are looking at him right now." Naruto continued, his fox-like grin unrepentant.
Iruka's eyes widened, and then, he fainted.
Truly, curiosity killed the cat...but satisfaction brought it back.
Iruka blushed for a week.
77) Tora
Tora the hellcat, Tora the bane of Genin teams of Konoha of all times, was cuddling into the green eyed man's arm and purring loudly, enjoying the man's sole attention on her being. She would ditch her mistress for this fine example of feline heaven any day. Naruto only glared at the unrepentant feline, his cheeks scratched and his once clean clothes muddy and in disarray. "Can I kill it? Pretty please? I promise I will burn her carcass in the four winds and I will pay for the protection seals too." He begged, big, puppy dog eyes filled with murderous intent against the nightmare of a cat he had caught just five minutes ago.
78) Stalkers
Konoha wasn't known only for its shinobi, as good as they may have been, and bloodlines… but there were a deep dark secrets dwelling in its bowels.
Stalkers.
Harry wanted to groan. Somehow, he acquired quite a following, led by one Yamanaka Ino – and he still didn't know just ow did they acquire the pictures of him in shower.
Somewhere, Itachi and Shisui counted the money from the risqué pictures they took of their father, grinning widely.
Oh yeah, camera was the best invention since pocky.
79) C-rank
Harry nearly had a heart attach when he found out that the innocent c-ranked mission changed into B and escalated further into A-rank mission. Just what was that straw-stuffed baka thinking?
Fortunately, Naruto was trained more than adequately for those sorts of scenarios – Harry had a hunch and insisted that Naruto had to be run through different battle scenarios, excluding the Kobayashi Maru.
Still, Harry was itching to throttle the stupid cyclopean idiot something terrible.
80) Rival
Uchiha Sasuke was a prized horse in the Konoha arena, so to speak. But no shinobi, worthy of their name, could elevate their abilities without a rival. And unfortunately, Naruto was exactly that… even if blonde outclassed Sasuke in every arena, excluding Genjutsu.
81) Nito-Ryu
Itachi was sparring with Harry, and losing badly. Swordsmanship wasn't his best point, and the Uchiha genius knew that. However, he could still outclass Konoha's sword master, Gekkou Hayato, but Harry was a whole different kettle of fish. If compared with Gekkou, Harry was a God of swordsmanship. Even with a Sharingan activated, Itachi could barely defend himself, while Harry was dancing his lethal dance, a blade in each of his hands glittering ominously in the light.
82) Sex Ed
One of things that Harry really, really didn't want to do, was explaining birds and bees to the oblivious blonde.
With Naruto, it was just bound to be embarrassing, but with Sai added in the mix, it was bound to be mortifying.
83) Coffee
None of the pair was able to function properly without of black ambrosia of the gods that was coffee. And woe to anyone who would dare to take their paws to the duo's private stash – Danzo and Harry would have no mercy.
84) Missing
Sometimes, Harry missed his old world. Sometimes, he was homesick about his old homeland, the castle and the lake – Hell, even Forbidden Forest! But whenever thought that, he also thought about Danzo, and he wouldn't trade his new world for anything in the world.
85) Crush
Harry stifled his laughter as he watched the shy Hyuuga heiress following his oblivious blonde son into the forest.
Ah, to be young again…
86) Anniversary
They celebrated their anniversary quietly – a private evening, with good food and wine, followed with the exquisite lovemaking.
And Danzo gifted Harry with a necklace with a black opal as a pendant.
Harry smiled, touched by the thoughtful gift, And the pendant ever changing colors reminded him of Danzo's eyes.
87) Alpha
Tsume blinked as her dog whined as it carefully approached the slender man in black and green kimono. He companion was literally groveling at the feet of this stranger, and it made her uneasy.
The strange man was a powerful – and not only that, he was a powerful Alpha.
88) Kobayashi Maru II
Shikaku stared. And stared some more. This was... a nightmare. Even if it was only a potential situation, it would haunt him till the end of his life. Whoever invented that, he wouldn't want them to come into contact with Ibiki. The interrogator was scary enough at his own, but with that…Kobayashi Maru… the possibilities were too horrifying to contemplate.
89) Mourning
One day in year, Harry was mourning. Or better, honoring the fallen. Danto knew about his habit and respected it. However, one particular silver-haired Jounin decided to make himself an exception… and he paid dearly.
90) Angels
"May angels lead you in,
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go,
May angels lead you in…"
He gently strummed his guitar, as his melancholy voice wound around them all, gently lulling them into its spell. They listened to the last verses in solemn silence. Burying comrades was always hard but with Harry there, it was a little bit easier to bear the pain of guilt and separation. Tora was one of the oldest in ROOT, and many respected the man for his kindness and dedication. Harry sighed, as he shook his head slowly. Danzo's palm reassuringly squeezed his right arm, making his heart warm at the knowledge that he could lean on someone, when the things went wrong. Quietly, Naruto's head burrowed into his side, as Harry stroked the golden locks, caught in memories.
