KOBAYASHI MARU


Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Harry Potter – I only own the characters' quirks and the story as such.

Shout Out: Wow, you guys are really into this story, huh? Thank you for your comments, and I am happy you find this story exciting. I apologize for grammar or spelling mistakes; as it is, I am doubling both as a writer and beta for my stories, and sometimes, this comes back to bite me in proverbial butt. As for why there is one word before drabble - it's a cornerstone of drabble, really. For instance, if my keyword for drabble is romance, then you can expect something in that context written – romance, romantic or something. That will be all, folks.

121) Lullaby

When Naruto was still small, he often fell asleep to the sound of lullaby that Midori-nii was muttering into his hair.


122) Denied

Naruto stared at the Hokage, his face shocked. "But – "He tried to refute the decision. Hiruzen eyed the whiskered blonde sternly. "You aren't off from Team 7, and that is final. However," He added hastily, seeing the mutinous face of the blonde maverick," You can be shuffled to the other team, if, and I mean if, you make it to Chuunin."

Naruto groaned. "That, old man, is an unfair gamble," he grumbled out, peeved. Hiruzen only chuckled, amused at blond's predicament.


123) Drum

"Hear the beat of horses' hooves; they beat the drum of war…"

Harry muttered to himself, green eyes clouded with thoughts. Itachi looked at his mentor inquiringly. "Harry?" He prodded the man, dark eyes troubled. Green eyes looked into his. "For some reason, "Harry began slowly, "I have a bad feeling."

Itachi's heart clenched.

"War?" he asked, his throat clogged with fear and anxiety."

Harry nodded slowly.

"War." He confirmed solemnly.


124) Stars

Whenever he could, Harry was watching the stars – oftentimes with his strays in a tow.


125) Occlumency

Harry sighed. Teaching Naruto Occlumency was a pain in the ass, and he could sympathize with Snape. But finding out that blond housed the nine-tailed fox threw Harry in for a loop.

Furry little problem, indeed.


126) Mutiny

When the civilian half of council demanded additional ANBU for their safety, ANBU refused. The ROOT division of ANBU almost came to mutiny over the issue, until Hokage himself turned down the greedy idiots.

Haruno Setsuna was not happy camper. Shinobi clans, on other hand, were more than satisfied.


127) Siesta

Kakashi blinked. There was something very wrong with the picture. "Is he sleeping?" He pointed at the snoozing blonde incredulously. Sasuke shrugged. "Hn. He told me to tell you not to wake him out, as he was having siesta, whatever that is."

"But he's only sleeping!" Kakashi protested his visible eye wide.

"Shut up and lemme sleep, perv." Naruto mumbled out. "I was tired of waiting on you, so it's only fair you let me rest."


128) Ramen

Harry stared. And stared. And stared. "How on earth can he eat so much?" he asked Iruka, his voice hushed with astonishment. Iruka shrugged helplessly. "I think his stomach is a miniature black hole…Ramen approved one."

Harry sighed. "Agreed." Silently, he swore to himself to get the chibi to eat different food – if that continued, he would be penniless in less than a month.


129) Intimidating

Even if Harry was smaller and seemingly frail, he cut a damn good intimidating figure in his basilisk leather robes and two swords on his back.


130) Troublesome

"Troublesome," Shikamaru sighed. Was there no decent opponent to play shogi against?

A shadow fell over him, making the young Nara heir look up.

"May I try?" The green-eyed man proposed a small smile on his lips.


131) Teach

Harry sighed. For some reason, he was roped in teaching Naruto the art of pranking. Curse the day the Kitsune chibi found out his pranking supplies… The only one good thing out of this mess was, that Harry was exempted from whatever mess Naruto got his unfortunate victim – er, helpers, into.


132) Sunset

"Hey. Still watching sunset?" Came a voice behind his back. Itachi sighed, as he contentedly leaned into the warm embrace. A small quirk of his lips and warmth in dark eyes betrayed his relaxed state. "Well, it is a sight worth watching. By the way, want to watch meteor shower with me?"

Shisui smiled at his lover. "Ever the romantic," He teased Itachi, only to receive a swift punch in the arm for his efforts.


133) Protector

Zabuza glared at the scurrying scum that dared to talk up obviously uncomfortable Haku.

The bad thing was, Haku was too pretty for his own good. But the worse thing was, they still thought Haku to be a girl… and Haku really didn't correct their misconceptions, for all the trouble that he had gotten in because of that.

At least Zabuza was there to protect the gentle teen.


134) Tomato

Harry glared. The chibi Uchiha glared. The tension was rising… and the shop keeper already motioned to evacuate the building.

Oh, there will be blood…. And all of it because both of them wanted the last, and juiciest, tomato.


135) Body

"If I said you have a pretty body, would you hold it against me?" Kakashi asked, his patented eye-smile trained on the uninterested green eyed man.

Harry twitched. "If you want to be dead, stuffed with straw and used as a scarecrow –sure I would." He replied dryly. "It's only shame I am allergic to scarecrows, so no deal."

Kakashi wilted.


136) Tattoo

"Oh, come on!" The whiskered blonde begged. "You have it, so why can' I get it?" He whined, his puppy dog eyes in full effect.

Harry glared at him, the black and green dragon on his back shifting subtly over his skin, the animal's eyes glittering slightly under the light of fire. "For some reason, you are a wuss, when it comes to needles." Harry smirked viciously, as Naruto paled. "And making a tattoo involves needles… hundreds and hundreds of them, piercing your skin – and you can't move, either."

Of course, Harry didn't tell Naruto that he had gotten his dragon in some of his stupider moments, when he was drunk off his ass, courtesy of dare on the twins' part. And he definitely didn't want to remember the tirade Hermione went in…. after she finished admiring the tattoo, of course.


137) Sleepless

Before he had gotten together with Danzo, the old war hawk suffered from acute insomnia, thus the almost all-time grumpiness on his part.

Now, the sleeplessness was of a more pleasurable variant – having Harry to relax with him, either in their private onsen or in their bedroom.

And the ROOT ANBU learned that process of waking up their esteemed leader was infinitely scarier than dealing with the sleepless one.


138) Oiroke

Naruto was feeling particularly vindictive today. The reason? None other than Harry. Midori-nii didn't allow him to eat ramen, and in the Kitsune chibi's books, that warranted a punishment.

A smirk curled on the whiskered child's face, as he imagined Harry's reaction to his Oiroke jutsu.

Hey, if it worked on Iruka-sensei, why wouldn't it on Midori-nii?

"Hey, Midori-nii, look… Oiroke no jutsu!"

POOF

Where the chibi stood, there was a sexy, naked, redheaded, buxom bombshell, who was stating at the green eyed man with puppy dog eyes.

"Midori-kuun…" The vision of loveliness cooed at the horrified Harry, as she sashayed sexily to him.

Naruto didn't know what hit him.

Harry had bound and gagged him before he could say Kai, and if Itachi hadn't came along, the chibi would be exposed to the wonders of… Bat Bogey Hex

Luckily, Itachi cancelled the jutsu, but that meant, in addition of having no ramen for a week, Naruto would get no ramen, and definitely no pocky, for a month.

Naruto learned that his Oiroke was totally useless on men who abhorred the sexual advances of female gender.


139) Valentine

For some reason, Shinobi villages celebrated Valentine's Day. And of course, Harry abhorred that particular celebration, because it meant that his fan club would, once again, hound him everywhere.

He strode away from the admiring teenage girls that thought they had a chance with him. Besides, he had better things to do than listen to their mooning over him, anyway.

He entered the council room. He had agreed to take over for Tori, as the man wanted to surprise his sweetheart.

What he didn't expect, was for Danzo calling him forward, and give him a bouquet of orange roses and a small box.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Harry." The man said to him, dark eyes warm.

Suffice to say, the council was in an uproar, but they were the ones that demanded to see Danzo's esteemed spouse, weren't they?

Nevertheless to say, half of the civilian council was admitted into hospital because of heart attacks, and Shinobi half didn't know whether to make appointment with Yamanaka to get rid of the disturbing scene or just to submit to the insanity.

Harry still wanted to punish Danzo for his reckless move, though.


140) Overprotective

Sasuke somehow – read: with generous help of Itachi and Shisui – managed to convince Naruto that he was NOT a stalker, and yes, he would like to know him better.

The things went smoothly, if only for avoiding the yaoi fanclub of Konoha, led by Hinata and Ino – but now, he was in front of Naruto's unofficial parents, and he could only gulp.

Damn, Danzo was intimidating, to be sure. However, Sasuke had a niggling feeling that the gently smiling green eyed man beside the stern ROOT leader was the true force to be reckoned with.
