A/N: Yes! It is I! I'm NOT dead! Sorry it took me so long to update, I last week I had an ass-load of projects and tests and stuff due. PLUS I finally read the Naruto manga! Since then I was just going with the small amount of episodes I've seen and fan fiction, but now I have knowledge of the whole thing up to chapter 287. Yes, that's another reason why I haven't updated since forever, I read it ALL in one weekend, 32 volumes x.x -eyes are burning-. Oh my god... I'm absolutely in love with Gaara, he's so awesome. Okay, reviewers, I need your help here. Since I read all of the manga at once I can't really remember when one chapter starts and another ends and I want to find the chapter where it's a flashback of Gaara's past and he's sitting on the swing and when the other kid's ball gets hit on the roof he makes another one out of sand? Anyone remember that chapter? Then like, the only person he thinks loves him tried to kill him? Ringing any bells? Cause I can't find it again and I want to! I've been dying without it! PLEASE HELP ME! I'll give the first person who tells me a cookie... not enough? Fine, You can be the father of my first born!

Reviewer Stuff: Mmkay, where to start. (Blah, when I'm doing this whole replying to the peeps thing, I never mean to sound mad, I love all of you like my children. But I'm trying to take the least possible time possible because I know you all want to just get on with the next chapter) Anyways, yeah... Albus probably knows about Naruto and the Kyuubi, since him and Sarutobi always like, email each other like: "Hey. OMG you won't believe what just happened. I giant nine tailed fox attacked the village LOL!11!1one!11" sorry, getting off subject, no, that's not exactly how they communicate with each other, but they have probably talked about it in letters and whatnot. Um... Naruto just thinks Remus's chakra seems 'off' but he probably won't think anything of it just yet... You guys think I went a little overboard with Sasuke's jaw dropping? I might go back later to change that into something more Sasuke like... Maybe...

-clings to Baka Shojo- Ah, you're babbling makes me warm and fuzzy inside. Plus, I've been looking for an accomplice to help sneak into Naruto and Sasuke's room, we might be able to steal Naruto's awesome nightcap O

Previously:

Two hours later the boys got ready for bed in their new room. One was grinning in victory while the other was scowling in defeat. It seemed Naruto had won their fight for the password because, now, to gain entrance to their room, you had to tell the painting, 'Ichiraku's Miso Ramen'.

Chapter 3

.glares.

Sasuke walked through the castle, memorizing every corridor and hallway. After all, his job was to protect the school and the students. How helpful could he possible be if he got lost in one of the many hallway mazes?

The morning had not started off unusually, the two shinobi had been introduced to the teachers, many of them seemed suspicious of the boys but did not voice their opinions. After that encounter, they had breakfast. Amazingly, the servants that worked in the school, the 'house elves' were able to prepare Naruto his favorite dish.

Sasuke smirked, remembering what had happened at breakfast. Many of the teachers stared at the two of them when they sat down for their meal, watching them, as if waiting for them to take off their masks. He knew both he and Naruto were thinking the same thing, they did the necessary hand signs under the table and created a Genjutsu mask under their real ones.

To add to the suspense, both boys had taken their sweet time taking off their Anbu masks, the teacher's were on the edge of their seats as the boys finally unknotted the cloths of their mask, letting the teacher's see... yet another one...

At that moment Sasuke had almost felt the grin of Naruto's face, then watched as his blonde teammate started shoveling down his food, the food phasing through his genjutsu mask. The teachers had been quite disappointed, some were even scowling, but the meal continued...

Sasuke smiled again, playing the memory again in his head. Other then that, nothing of any significance happened that morning.

He rounded another corner, only to come face to face (well, mask to mask, but let's not get specific here) to a certain blonde.

"Sasuke!" Naruto said happily, but the dark haired boy could sense a bit of desperation, "I've been looking for you forever..." Naruto looked around and switched to Japanese, "I ran into this really mean teacher, Sasuke! He had this crooked nose and greasy black hair. Wah! He called me short! And I was about to kick his ass when he just turns around and walks away. I couldn't believe it! But then I noticed that he did this awesome thing with his robe, it like, billows! And there was no wind! Just like Neji-san's hair when he talks about fate!" (1)

Sasuke just stared at the boy for a second before cracking a grin behind his mask, "You've getting off topic, dobe, what else about the teacher?"

"Who?" Naruto asked confusedly. Then he blinked and his eyes lit up with realization, "Oh! THAT teacher. He like, had, a stick up his ass or something..." Naruto crossed his arms and nodded, seemingly agreeing with his own statement.

"Come on dobe, let's go train or something..." Sasuke said, motioning Naruto to follow him. He knew the shorted boy wouldn't refuse an offer to train.

"Awesome! We haven't trained since before we got here!" they wordlessly found their way out of the castle (With much difficulty, might I add...) and found themselves on the lake again.

They stood, facing each other, about 20 feet apart, "No jutsu, right?" Sasuke asked, starting to lay out the rules.

Naruto nodded, "Right."

"No killing each other either..." Naruto pouted but nodded in acknowledgment.

"But we can use our swords..." Sasuke indicated to the sword on his back, they rarely ever used their swords, but one was issued to every Anbu.

"Um... and we should try avoid hurting the squid..." Naruto glanced nervously down at the water, who kept a giant squid in a lake, anyway!

"That'd be good..." Sasuke replied, returning his eyes to Naruto's, "Ready?"

"Of course..." Naruto's cocky grin was back, his knees tensed and he yelled, "Start!"

(A/N: I probably couldn't write a fight scene to save my life (I've never written one before) so I'll write the simplest thing possible)

Naruto leaped at Sasuke, bringing back his fist. Sasuke jumped away, swinging his own leg. Naruto stopped the kick and flipped off of if, waggling his finger at his companion, "Tsk tsk. It isn't going to be that easy..." as he ran towards Sasuke. Sasuke caught the blonde's fist and threw him back.

This continued for about an hour, almost in a pattern. Kick. Block. Punch. Hit. More blocking, more kicks, more punches. After that hour they were both starting to pant, but neither backed down. Sasuke drew his sword and changed at Naruto.

A clang rang out. Naruto's own sword blocked the oncoming hit. Naruto jumped back and added his own swipe of the sword, aimed at the dark haired shinobi's side. Another clang was heard as Sasuke blocked the shot then used the moment to his advantage, he flipped around and kicked Naruto right in the stomach, sending the blonde about 10 feet. There was a scream of shock. Then a splash.

Naruto scowled, bringing his head above the water, "That was a dirty trick, Teme..." he said, spitting out some water.

"It's not my fault you lost your control and fell in..."

The blonde sighed, "Come on, I should really dry off..." he hopped out of the water and began walking to dry land. Sasuke nodded and followed him wordlessly. Naruto stopped, waiting for Sasuke to catch up and the taller shinobi raised an eyebrow.

With a loud "KYAA!" Naruto pounced on Sasuke, sending both of them into the water. Under the surface Sasuke was seething at his friend, who just grinned and did the peace sign before jumping out of the water again and running off as fast as he could.

'How could I have fallen for someone so immature?' he thought. Paused. Then replayed the thought back.

If he had less self control he would have drowned himself.

They were now sitting at the edge of the lake, both had taken off their masks in an attempt to dry off their hair and face.

"The students are getting here soon, like around dinner..." Naruto absently stated.

"You think we'll be able to find that Potter kid?"

"I'm sure we'll figure it out easily. From what I heard he almost has as many fan girls as you do..." Naruto commented, both shuddered at the thought.

Naruto yawned, "Yeah, well wake me up when he have to do our job..." Before another word could be said Naruto was out cold.

The thought from earlier returned to his head. He found himself thinking deeply at the situation while watching the sun start to set.

He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard footsteps coming towards him. 'Kuso! Was I really that distracted?' he thought to himself while franticly looking around for his mask, only to see that Naruto was using both masks as a pillow, 'Too late now...' he sighed, turning to the footsteps.

He found himself looking up at a scowling man, he looked deathly pale and the color looked only lighter next to his greasy black hair.

Snape's scowl deepened as he faced the teenager, then his eyes turned the other sleeping teen.

"What's this? Why are you two here before the train has come?" the teacher asked, looking back at the black haired teen.

"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked the man.

"No students are allowed here before the rest of them..." Snape saw the child's stare turn to a glare, and he was content to return the glare with his cold eyes.

"We're allowed to be here, he have duties here before the term starts..." Sasuke replied, his equally cold eyes never leaving the teachers.

Before either could reply a yawn was heard from behind Sasuke. The blonde sat up and rubbed his eyes, wondering who his partner was talking with.

Neither cold gaze faltered, Naruto watched the two watch each other (A/N: ha ha) with a confused look on his face.

"Um... Sasuke?" he asked after a few minuted of silence. Naruto could have sworn the temperature had decreased at least a couple hundred degrees. He looked between the two, finally understanding... He nodded to himself, then turned back to Sasuke and said mischievously, "Use your Sharingan."

Sasuke smirked, silently changing his black eyes to a blood red color.

Snape was shocked to say the least as a chill ran up his spine. No one had eyes like that other then...

Snape broke their glaring contest, anything to get away from the blood red eyes. He unconciously shuddered, "Fine then, be on your way..." He was angry when he saw both teens smirking. But what shocked him even more was when the shorter blonde handed the taller one a mask. They both fastened the masks back on their faces and turned back to the teacher.

"We can't wait to start protecting you and your school," the blonde said with a nod, then both disappeared before his eyes

'So those were the two mysterious guards...' was Snape's lasting thought as he shuddered again and swiftly turned around, walking back to the castle.

The boys were hidden in the trees, watching the teacher walk away.

"See what I mean about the billowing thing?" Naruto asked, nudging hims team mate. Sasuke could help but grin.

"Come on..." Sasuke said, still smiling, "The students could be here any minute."

"This year is going to be very different from the previous ones..." a strange girl by the name of Luna Lovegood absently said, looking up from her upside down issue of The Quibbler (2).

"What's she talking about now?" mumbled a gangly teen with flaming red hair.

"Ron!" yelled another girl with bushy hair, nudging his friend, then kindly turned back to the blonde haired girl, "What do you mean, Luna?"

Luna shrugged, returning to he magazine. The last member of the compartment watched silently, agreeing with what the weird girl said, "She's right, Ron, Hermione. I didn't tell you abut the letter I got, did I?"

Both shook their heads, "Well, apparently Mooney is back at teacher DADA." He paused, receiving excited grins, "... but he also told me that Professor Dumbledore hired some strange new guards... you'd think they'd be more careful, after the who dementors guarding the school thing last year. And Mooney soundly very unsure about these two new guards."

"There's only two? How are they expecting to keep the whole school safe?" Ron burst out.

"I'm not sure, either they're really, really powerful..." trailed off Harry.

Ron scoffed, "That or really stupid."

And at a school a couple miles away, a blonde shinobi sneezed...

A/N: You know what I always wanted to do? I always imagined something where Harry or someone is in the regular, non magical world (but still a wizard) and they have their wand and a drumstick sticking out of their pocket? I dunno why, but I've always noticed drummers keeping their drumsticks sticking out of their pockets and I keep thinking 'why not replace one with a wand?' Gah... I really need to do something more productive in my spare time then imagining situations like that

(1)- I think I read something about Neji's hair blowing around in maybe... the Courting of Uzumaki Naruto? But I thought if was funny, And I can totally image it happening, so... yeah awesome story, you peeps should read it

(2)- I'm pretty sure I got the name right, anyone kind enough to correct me if I'm wrong?

Ha ha... one more thing, I remember reading this one HPNaruto crossover and there was this line, I can't remember it exactly, but it was so funny! It was like, Sasuke's holding the wand, and Naruto says "Hey! You finally got out that stick that's been up your ass since I first met you!"

Anyways, sorry again for the long two weeks without an update, I'm going to put my expectations of myself lower this time... I promise another chapter in at most two weeks. REVIEW PLEASE!
