KOBAYASHI MARU
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Harry Potter – I only own the characters' quirks and the story as such.
Shout Out: Woah /is taken aback/. I don't know what to say, except thank you! Now, Tenzo is still an ANBU – but let's just say he was sent to ROOT on an assignment, and after some time, he decided to stay there. You decide, if it's permanent, or not. Tenzo could be drafted into ROOT entirely, or remain there as a loan from Hokage, or just plain one of Harry's strays – as if he isn't already (mumbles). Onward on the reading.
Warning: Slash: Danzo/Harry, Shisui/Itachi, onesided Kakashi/Harry, mentions of homophobia and generous Sakura bashing.
141) Fashion
Harry stared. And stared again. For being shinobi, most of them were garbed into really weird clothes – too tight, too revealing, too… colorful, some were reminiscent of potato sacks…
He sighed. Well, he couldn't say anything, as his own sense of fashion, wearing battle robes was just as weird… even if they didn't hinder him in battle.
142) Announcement
Since that fateful announcement of Harry being Danzo's … spouse, for lack of better word, yaoi club members recruited for one fifth more members, Harry got twice as much proposals and come-ons, Danzo ingested three times more of calming draught, and Itachi and Shisui's profits jumped up by five hundred percents.
143) Sky
Occasionally, Harry looked at the sky longingly, missing the wind in his hair and the whistling of the air as he made some or another crazy maneuver on his broom.
Danzo, on the other side, was just happy he was with both of his feet firmly on the ground.
Besides, he really didn't like the thought of being high in the air, with nothing under him to support him.
144) Broken
"And you wouldn't believe it, Harry, such a kind young man, being married to that old war hawk!" An old lady tittered to her friend excitedly.
Kakashi stood still as a stone. In that moment, his heart was broken into hundred, thousand tiny little pieces.
145) Howl
Once upon a full blue moon, there echoed a howl in the depth of Forbidden Forest. The howl chilled anyone who heard it, to their very bones.
Inside their compound, the Inuzuka clan members barely fought the urge to get out and bare their throats to the one who was calling mournfully under the cold blue moonlight.
146) Frigid
Anko's eyes veritably bulged out of her sockets when she heard that Harry was married to Danzo. "A – Are you sure?" She choked out, coughing slightly as a small bit of dango went the wrong pipe. Kurenai beamed. Beamed – and that, for an Ice Queen like her meant that gossip was, for once, a truth. "Yup!" She nodded, red eyes twinkling. "And they are so cuute…" Anko sweatdropped. Kurenai and her yaoi heaven… and the men were wondering just why she was such a frigid bitch…
147) Cooties
Naruto stuck his tongue out childishly. "Ewe, you got a boy cooties," He pouted, making Harry choke on his spit and Iruka fairly roared with laughter over unfortunate civilian's plight.
Harry narrowed his watery eyes. "Just you wait, gaki…. Just. You. Wait." He mumbled to himself.
Naruto felt a chill of foreboding skitter up his spine.
Oh, hell… the Marauder was back.
148) Dauntless
Harry stared into big red eyes of Naruto's furry little problem motionlessly. "Why aren't you afraid?" The gravelly voice of the beast growled out. "How can you stand there, in front of me and not be terrified out of your puny little mind?"
Even Naruto, Kyuubi reminisced, was scared shitless when he first saw him.
But not this… human.
149) Homophobic
Sakura stared at Naruto's … niisan, disgusted. She couldn't believe when she heard Harry was… batting for the home team, so to speak. "And why are you here, fag?" she sneered at the man, making the other three members of Team 7 stiffen.
Harry eyed her lazily. "And what does me taking it up my arse having to do with anything?" He asked dryly.
The pinkette's face turned an ugly red color. "It's unnatural. You are unnatural! You are a freak - !" Harry stiffened at the last word, making Naruto growl, and Sasuke and Kakashi glare angrily at the idiotic bitch.
"Haruno…" Harry began slowly, his voice dangerously quiet. "Because you are a naïve imbecile, who doesn't know better, I will forgive you… this time. But I warn you now, the world is wide, and squawking your biased opinions to everyone would bring you neither respect nor appreciation of your peers. As a kunoichi, you should known the rule 'underneath of underneath' well enough to recognize that gender is just a superficial triviality. When you love, you love a person. You don't love their face, their eyes or their quirks – you love entire being, with their good and bad sides. Life is too short for me to be concerned with other people's thoughts on who I should or shouldn't love. So until you don't know any better, shut your trap and keep your opinions on that and any related matters to yourself. Am I understood?"
Sakura gulped. Suddenly, she felt very small in front of this… civilian.
But… was he even a civilian?
The rest of Team 7 meeting, she was silent, much to her team mates' relief.
150) Assasin
It happened faster than anyone could react.
One minute, they were talking, laughing and teasing, and the next, a shadow attacked Harry.
CLANG
Luckily, Harry had fast enough reflexes to deflect the kunai, before vanishing and the next thing they knew, was a red light and assassin falling to the ground, stiff as a board.
Harry eyed the assassin calmly, as if that was an everyday occurrence.
"Well, lookie what the cat brought in," he stated in the grave silence, before the noise exploded around him.
151) Konohamaru
Naruto had one disciple – Hokage's grandson, Konohamaru.
The kid was bright, but he was still stupid.
And in his stupidity, he decided to catch Naruto's Midori-nii, as a proof he was better than the foxy blonde.
Right now, he was hiding in the bushes, watching the man go through the sequence of movements, the silvers of two swords glinting in the sun.
"Wow…"
He breathed out, just before the man vanished – and the next thing he knew he was dangling in the air, held by a scruff of his jacket.
Harry exhaled a long-suffering sigh. "Another one…" He muttered to himself grumpily. "Oh, joy."
152) Animals
Harry glared. "Get out." He growled, his patience at the end of the rope.
They blinked. Harry glared harder. "Just who gave you a bright idea to occupy my room, and even better, my bed, to… fuck like an animals!" He roared out, green eyes blazing in fury.
"Geez, just because you don't get some as often than magnificent me… you just had to be so ornery to point out that." Shishio answered, a leer on his face.
Harry's eyebrow twitched. Was it too much to ask for the ANBU idiots to refrain from use of his room for… illicit affairs?
He sighed.
Apparently so.
153) Bugging
Harry twitched. It was the particular twitch he had when Rita Skeeter was tailing him. He twitched again.
"Shino… Would you stop bugging me already?" He asked exasperatedly, as he looked at the captured bug.
Harry could swear – honest to God, that bug blushed fire engine red.
154) Nominate
When Harry found out about Kakashi nominating Team 7 for Chunin exams, he hit the roof.
It was a common sight in ROOT ANBU quarters, to see a big silver-furred wolf with a bandanna over his right eye, staring pathetically at Harry, who was studiously ignoring him and muttering something about stuffing a particular wolf with straw and then gifting it to Hokage for a souvenir.
155) Twiddling
Hinata gulped. She looked at the stern man who was ordering the ANBU hesitantly "U – Um, sir?" She ventured timidly.
Dark eyes zeroed on her. "Yes?" The man answered his voice gruff." "C – Can I please speak with Midori-sama?" She asked, twiddling her thumbs nervously.
Danzo sighed. "Come with me." He ordered briskly. "And for God's sake, stop twiddling!" He admonished her, making her wince slightly.
Well… Apparently, he too could pick up strays… even if they went to Harry first.
156) Meditate
Harry 's habit of medidtation lifted many eyebrows at first. But when he began teaching the hyper, concstantly on the sugar high blonde nuisance, the results soon spoke for themselves. It wasn't very long when Haku joined the duo.
Not long after that, the ROOT members began to beg Harry to teach them too.
157) Kobayashi Maru III
Harry stared at the shaken blonde calmly. It wasn't very often that Naruto's confidence was out of whack, but right then, Naruto's confidence wasn't only broken, but ruined into ground.
For a moment, he doubted his decision, of introducing the blonde to that particular scenario, but he didn't have a choice.
Naruto, curious little kit he was, stuck his nose into something too big for him to swallow this time.
Naruto, on the other hand, had a new goal in his life: Become the Hokage AND beat the Kobayashi Maru!
158) Masochistic
Neji stared at his… future lover intently.
That dark hair, gentle brown eyes, slender physique tangled in the small clouds and smooth skin gleaming in perspiration.
"You, kid...Are peeping on Haku." A gruff voice behind him made Hyuuga prodigy stiffen with dread.
He turned around slowly.
Dark eyes stared into opalescent ones murderously.
"Did you ever think about being a masochist for hire?" Zabuza asked sweetly, before he grabbed Neji's hair and throwing him into the woman's share of the onsen.
The resulting shrieks and sounds of beating made the tall man smirk.
"Thought so." He rumbled out, before ambling to the showers. It wouldn't do to be caught on the incriminating place himself, would it?
159) Tracking
Sasuke twitched. Naruto evaded him again! That was becoming ridiculous. He tracked his wayward team mate more than he trained – well, he DID become a better tracker for that, and he even discovered some fan girl proof places, but what Sasuke really, really wanted at that moment, was to have the blonde here. And the pinky horror far, far away from him.
160) Again
Temari couldn't believe it. Gaara took off in a full sprint, without a reason – he could at least used his sand to teleport him away - but for some reason, he was too excited to do so.
Jade eyes glowing excitedly, Gaara barged through the streets toward that familiar feeling –
Peace. Safety. Reassurance. Love.
In that moment, he didn't give a damn about meeting his father.
All he cared about, was a warm hug from his Harry-nii.
