A/N: OH MY GOD! I'M SO SORRY! I'm so sorry I left you all waiting, it took couple of very rude reviews from some impatient people for me to write this chapter.

Reviewer Stuff: Oh my god... this might take awhile, I have 135 reviews to sift through, looking for questions. Soon I'm going to stop my playful, useless bickering with some of the reviewers and just get right to the answers. No fun!

Fox gal, Bleach's main plot is that this guy named Ichigo, he's been able to see and communicate with ghosts since forever, right? So one day, to save his family, he has to become a shinigami (God of Death) That's just the basic plot line, it goes off with different situations and story. Really cool shit.

SexySpoons, Nope, Sasuke doesn't know about the Kyuubi, he'll eventually find out though. The "Bitch. Must. Die." thing is a real quote from my friend. I just had to put it in here somewhere.

Chibi Cryti, Hm... "Eat or I'll review your children" That sound quite suggestive and pedophile-ish...

Trekiael, Yes, Ron is quite pathetic, isn't he? -drools- fan art? I've only dreamed of fan art I would love you so much if you drew me a picture -daydreams-

gallatica, "so when do i get to see some action?-and i don't mean death eaters and shuriken. XD" -blushing and cracking up at the same time- it took me like, a couple minutes to get that, I'm a very slow person. I was like "Oh! New review" then I clicked it and stared at the screen with one raised eyebrow for oh... 4 minutes, then my eyes widened and I literally screamed, "Oh! THAT" my brother came into my room to see if something was wrong...

NaruFreak, I'm not sure, maybe Drarry? That would work, I suppose. And sorry, It's going to be the other way around. Naruto Vs. Sakura for Sasuke. And I'll probably end up making that the password, thanks for the idea

Previously:

He was healing himself, and at an alarmingly fast rate. The wounds slowly closed and areas of red were replaced by normal colors.

Harry was still gapping, "Um... this might be a rude question, but what is he?"

Sasuke sighed, "I'm still not sure enough to answer that question." And the rest of Naruto's healing was watched in silence.

Chapter 10

.squeals.

Sasuke impatiently tapped his fingers on the bedside table.

'Will you hurry and wake up?' he thought, looking over to the unconscious Naruto in the hospital bed. The question had a somewhat annoyed tone, but concern was laced in as well.

He stood from his chair and crossed his arms, "Well it looks like the amazing Uzumaki Naruto can't handle a simple spell..." he exclaimed, trying to get the boy to wake.

Not even a twitch came from the blonde.

Sasuke growled, picking up his raven mask, "Thanks to you, I have to guard the school by myself. Don't think that you're injury got us out of our job." After tying the mask around his head, his eyes softened when he looked at his friend, "But if I have to leave, wait until afterI come back to wake up, I don't want to leave you alone with that crazy nurse."

He let himself smile a bit, noticing how much he had just said, out loud even. Even when he was unconscious, Naruto still had an effect on Sasuke.

He paused, looking back at Naruto's mask, which was placed on a bedside table. He had forced himself to take it off Naruto to make sure the idiot didn't suffocate or something while he slept. In a stroke of genius, he pulled the white medical curtains around each side of Naruto's bed, just to make sure that any student that happened to venture into the Hospital Wing didn't catch a glimpse of the blonde's face.

"I'll see you later, okay?" he said softly before disappearing.

None of the Golden Trio had gotten any sleep the night before, they were too shaken up by the sight of the dead Death Eaters.

Sure- they had all seen death before, but all of it was caused by spells and charms. They had never realized how cleanly wizards fought their battles, compared to how others got the job done.

When morning came around, the three students made their way to the Great Hall without a word. They tried to give their fellow Gryffindors smiles to assure them that the three were okay, but the other students were still suspicious.

Harry heard a faint, but familiar, sound and slowly turned to it's direction.

His stomach dropped when he saw Sasuke appear on the window ledge. It wasn't for the fact that the guard was here, more of who wasn't here.

He nudged Hermione and nodded in the direction of the boy. No matter what happened, Harry still wanted to know what Hermione had figured out about the two guards.

She frowned when she noticed Naruto wasn't there, but then she seemed to remember something and shuddered, refusing to meet the shinobi's eyes, then returned to her meal. The meal continued without a word.

But soon theuncomfortable silence was broken by a certain red head.

"Ello Harry!" she greeted happily, sitting down across from him.

He looked up at her and smiled to return the greeting.

"That's wrong you three? You look like death warmed over!" she exclaimed, then paused, "But not you Harry, you looked great as always."

Harry looked at her suspiciously before he hesitantly said, "Um... thanks, I guess."

Ginny grinned a dazzling smile before launching into a one sided conversation. Most of which Harry didn't catch, just nodded and replied with a 'Yeah' or a 'Really?' every so often.

And so began a very long day for Harry Potter and friends.

Two Hufflepuffs made their was to the infirmary, one clutching her right hand.

"I really don't think that it was an accident..." her friend commented, taking another look at the girl's hand.

"I don't know..." the first commented, blowing on her limb, hoping to relieve the pain, "I mean, what if she's just clumsy like her older brother?"

The second scoffed and rolled her eyes,"No way, it was on purpose, believe me, I saw the whole thing..."

The two had been in Transfiguration class. The goal for the day was to turn a canary into a lit candle. Being the fifth years that they were, it was just a review, so most people did it with ease.

Only a few stragglers were left with their bird, so the rest on the class waited, engaging themselves in conversation.

The first Hufflepuff questioned about the Golden Trio's appearances that morning, earning herself a glare from one, Ginny Weasley, who sat next to her on her right.

The second Hufflepuff had asked what the big deal was about, but when the first had said, "Well, I was wondering what was so bad that it got Harry Potter riled up, I mean, usually he's so strong hearted and courageous that he can stand up to anything." the first sighed dreamily, "I just wish I could have gone over there to comfort him-"

She was interrupted when Ginny's candle 'accidentally' fell over, setting the Hufflepuff's robe sleeve on fire. By the time Professor Mcgonagall had put the fire out, the first girl's hand was somewhat burnt, thus why they were venturing to the Hospital wing.

The second girl scowled after explaining the situation from her point of view. She pushed open the doors to the infirmary and said loudly, "Weasley practically threw the candle at you, it was so obvious!"

"Ginny's not as bad as you make her out to be..." the first girl said with a sigh. When she walked into the room, vaguely noticing the white curtains pulled around one of the beds.

Not commenting on it, her and her friend found Madam Pomfrey, who immediately healed the girl and told them to get back to class, claiming she was in the middle of something important.

Once the medi-witch was gone, back to her office, the girls started to leave.

"Who do you think is..." the second girl trailed off, nodding towards the hidden bed. The first girl shrugged, "Well let's go see then!" the second whispered, grabbing her friend's newly healed hand and dragging her to the bed.

Putting her finger up to her mouth, the second girl motioned the first to be totally silent. Then slowly pulled back the curtain, as not to make noise.

What the found shocked them. At first they had no idea who he was, then the first girl gasped and pointed to the mask on the beside table.

They had no idea that the blonde guard was so, well, gorgeous.

The boy looked like he was peacefully sleeping, the first thought that ran through their headswas- Angelic. The boy's lips were slightly parted, making him all the more innocent, what was strange though were the three marks that scarred both sides of his cheeks, if the two girls weren't so shocked, one of them might have gone up to the boy to see if the marks were real.

The silence was broken when said boy moved slightly. Then he yawned, stretching his tan arms into the air. When this happened, both girls forgot how to breathe.

Then his two eyes snapped open, revealing two beautiful cerulean eyes to the world. The eyes instantly snapped to the girls, peering at them curiously through thick black lashes.

"Um... hello?" he asked quietly, wondering what the hell the girls were up to.

A moment passed before both girls' faces turned a deep red, one squealed even.

He blinked, shocked.

"What-"

They both squealed this time, then one grabbed the other and dragged them out of the infirmary with lightning speed.

Naruto was left to watch the door, somewhere between confusion and horror.

"Am I really that hideous?" he asked himself, bringing one hand up to his cheek. (1)

And so the rumor mill sprang into motion-

By the end of the day, every single person in the school would know that the blonde haired guard could very well be one ofTHE most beautiful creatures to walk the face of the planet, according to two fifth year Hufflepuffs.

After overcoming the strange occurrence that just took place, Naruto hopped out of the hospital bed and put on his arm and leg armor. He put his wand into his back pocket, tied his fox mask on, then disappeared, only to reappear in the Great Hall, knowing that it was time for the school to have dinner.

He poofed into the middle of the Hall, looking around for Harry or his friends.

When he turned to the Gryffindor table, he saw the Boy-Who-Lived wearily turn to his direction. The boy noticeably brightened at the sight of the guard, but Naruto didn't have time to notice this before his attention was turned to the sound of at least twenty girl screaming.

He spun around, bringing out some kunai. When hetwisted all the way around he noticed many girls blushing, pointing, and squealing in his direction. His arms dropped, utterly confused, before the doors to the Great Hall burst open.

See- Sasuke had been patrolling the halls when her also heard the screams. Rushing to the Great hall, he had thrown open the doors to find the danger, only to find his partner- Naruto.

If he was any less controlled he would have run up to hug his friend in relief, so he chose the next best thing- dragging the blonde ninja out into the corridor with him.

Once they were out of sight from the students, Sasuke turned to Naruto and yelled, "Why aren't you resting! You were hit with a dangerous spell! You could still be hurt!"

Naruto laughed weakly, scratching the back of his neck, "No need to go all mother hen," this earned him a growl, "I'm perfectly alright!"

Sasuke's worry deflated, "You idiot! Do you know what could have happened? You're lucky you didn't die!"

Naruto sighed and smiled softly, "Aww... didn't know you cared..." he teased.

Sasuke lightly punched his friend in the shoulder, "Come one, dobe, dinner is almost over. And I've been thinking for awhile, we should get someone to teach us some spells, so what happened last night won't happen again."

Naruto nodded, "Maybe we could wait in the Gryffindor Common room for Harry, he would probably love to help us." He thought for a minute, "Plus I hear he's one of the best in this schoolat dueling with spells."

Sasuke nodded before disappearing. But Naruto stayed a moment longer, 'I also hear thatMalfoy kid is good at dueling,' he thought to himself, then a grin crossed his face, 'This could be used to our advantage...' was his last thought before disappearing in a cloud of smoke, eerie grin still set on his face.

Haruno Sakura peeked into the Hokage's office, smiling when she saw the village leader passed out at her desk.

'Perfect...' she thought. Normally, no one would be able to get into the office without being caught, but Sakura had the advantage of being the Tsunade's student/assistant.

She soundlessly walked into the room, towards the 'mission files' cabinet.

Opening the drawer, she whispered, "U's... U's... ah! Uchiha."

She took out the most recent file, reading their mission briefing. After scanning half the page, she found what she was looking for, "Partner... Uzumaki Naruto?" she ground out, crumpling the paper a bit when she tightened her hands into fists.

"He's not going to take away MY Sasuke..." she mumbled to herself, replacing the folder and sneaking out of the office.

Sakura noticed the obvious effect the Uzumaki had on Sasuke, she knew how he was corrupting her poor teammate. Sasuke was nothing more then a victim here, being controlled by a demon. (2)

Yes, she had figured out Naruto's secret. It was obvious it you looked at any of the clues. She swore that that monster Naruto wouldn't do anything else to vulnerable Sasuke while she was around.

She smirked, 'This mission could be helpful. If I can do this correctly, I won't have to worry about that demon hurting Sasuke-kun ever again.'

She took one last look at the office before leaving with a smirk on her face.

A/N: There ya go, hopefully I'll get another chapter up soon. (I beat myself into getting out of my lazy stupor to write this, knowing I'll have to go on a vacation without a computer soon)

1- Years of being abused by every person in the town can do that to you. Since no one had ever shown any hint that Naruto was attractive, ever in his life, his reaction to the Hufflepuff situation would make him think that they thought he was ugly instead of pretty, you know? Poor Naru-chan... such low self estem

2- Okay, all these opinions on Naruto are from Sakura's point of view, not mine. But as I promised- the start to evil!Sakura.
