They all turned the corner and started inside the Charms room when they heard a loud poof. They turned to see Kakashi sensei and Master Jiraiya staring at them, mainly at Naruto. Hermione turned a deep red and started fidgeting with her necklace nervously.

"Hello you guys. Is everyone having a good day so far?" Neji gave him a 'you-have-got-to-be-kidding-me' look while the others just stared at him. "I'll take that as a no," Kakashi finished.

"I'd be having an even better day if I didn't have detention tonight with that greasy haired bat," Naruto grumbled. He folded his arms across his chest and began to pout.

"Oh Naruto. Give it a rest. You brought that detention on yourself," Jiraiya scolded.

"How would you know?" he huffed. "You weren't even there!"

"Uh…yeah and in Naruto's defense, Snape can be a…"

"Shut it Harry. It isn't any of your business and besides, this guy is Naruto's master."

"That I am Hermione," Jiraiya smirked. "Kakashi was right to say that you are very keen." Hermione started to blush again causing Harry to raise an eyebrow. Sensing the awkward tension, Ginny grabbed Hermione's hand and they headed inside the classroom.

"I'm going on inside too," Neji muttered. He was followed by Harry and the others. Before Naruto could get inside the door, Kakashi grabbed him from behind.

"Whoa. Wait a second Naruto. We want to talk with you."

"Awe come on now! I didn't do anything," he whined. "Why am I always…"

"Will you stop that damn whining? Just hear us out Naruto," Jiraiya commanded.

"Fine."

"You can't go around threatening to beat up teachers. It's against the rules. That may not be the case in Konoha simply because the teachers are more than capable of beating you up instead. However, magic spells can do things to you that may fully well surpass that of any genjutsu. That being said, Professor Snape is the wrong one to piss off," Jiraiya warned.

"He started it."

"But you called him a greasy haired bat."

"But…"

"And you also told him to sprout some wings and you ended by threatening to knock that 'stick' out of his hand. If you're going to threaten somebody, at least get the terminology right. It's called a wand Naruto, not a stick."

"Whatever. Can I go now?" Before they could answer, some of the Slytherins started making their way past them into the Charms room. They were all in little groups, the first being led by a really stuck up looking blonde with bleach blonde hair that was slicked back. He sneered at them as he headed inside followed closely by two big burly guys and a dark haired girl. Sasuke was the last one to reach them. He stopped short when he saw the three of them, a large grin forming across his face.

"So what did you do now idiot? Did you kill a teacher? No wait. Maybe you scared your teachers to death and now they are kicking you out."

"Screw you Sasuke. For your information, I am not in trouble. Why don't you go inside and join your rich friends? No wait. You're all by yourself which means no one likes you. How sad Sasuke. The pretty boy is loner," he teased. He made a face, sticking his tongue out at Sasuke who only flicked him off in return.

"Once again you are wrong idiot. For YOUR information, I am alone because those losers aren't on my level. I think I pissed the blonde guy off the other day when I told him that his name sucked. As for me being a loner, you know good and well that I could have any girl I want. Unlike you who…well…you can't even attract the guys," he smirked.

"If you say so," he said flatly. This however, pissed Sasuke off even more. Naruto's tone of voice pretty much signaled the end to their pointless argument, an argument that Sasuke had been enjoying very much.

"Alright, alright you two. I swear, you guys are teammates. How much longer is it going to take for you to learn to like each other?"

"I'LL NEVER LIKE THAT LOSER!" they both screamed in unison. Both Kakashi and Jiraiya let out a sigh.

"Just…go. Go to class you two," Jiraiya said with a sigh. "I'll see you guys later today. Just…try not to get into anymore trouble Naruto."

"What about…?"

"I'm on my way to have a little chat with Ino as we speak. She knew better than to use that jutsu on a teacher." Both professors disappeared with a loud poof leaving Naruto and Sasuke outside. They both stood there silently staring at each other before Naruto shrugged.

"I'm done arguing with you. I'm going inside." Sasuke followed the kit inside and realized that the only two seats available were right next to each other. "Aw man," Naruto muttered. He and Sasuke took the two empty seats next to one another and looked off in different directions doing their best to avoid any kind of contact with one another. Sakura jumped when she saw that Sasuke took the empty seat next to her.

"Oh Sasuke, did you…?"

"Don't talk to me Sakura. I'm not in the mood," he grumbled.

"Oh…okay then," she said sadly. Draco, who was sitting right behind them scoffed.

"Hey pretty girl!" Sakura turned around and frowned.

"Are you…talking to me?" she asked.

"Yeah. You're the only pretty girl in here," he grinned. "I couldn't help but overhear that loser and how he just shunned you a while ago. You shouldn't take that. You're far too pretty for that guy." Sakura's face turned a dark shade of red. Normally a compliment like that wouldn't have phased her very much being that she was so used to guys calling her pretty but there was something about…him. She studied him for a moment. The green and silver on his robe indicated that he was from the Slytherin House which meant that he was probably bad news. His bleach blonde hair was very nice as it was slicked back, a rich boy hair style she concluded. His eyes were light gray and his eyelashes were thick and dark making him very handsome indeed. She was torn from her thoughts by the voice of Sasuke.

"Oh please. What's it to you rich boy?"

"I was just saying she could do better."

"I'm sure she could being as we aren't even a couple."

"Oh…so you guys aren't…dating…at all?" he asked.

"Nope. Have at it," Sasuke mumbled. "Just stay out of my way and keep my name out of your mouth and all will be well."

"So uh…Sakura is it? How about you and I get together sometime? I'll show you how it feels to be around a real man."

"Uh…"

"She's not interested Malfoy." Draco turned to see Naruto glaring at him.

"Oh and why not?"

"Because she's with me." Sakura leaned over Sasuke and punched Naruto in the jaw.

"Yeah right you idiot. I'd never go out with you."

"That was mean Sakura," Naruto whined holding a hand against his jaw. Sasuke and Draco among a few others all doubled up with laughter. Naruto just glared at them all as he turned away still doctoring on his cheek. When Sasuke finally quit laughing, he glanced over at the young blonde and sighed.

"Let me take a look at it Naruto."

"What for? So you can see how swollen it is and laugh some more? Piss off Sasuke," he grumbled. Sasuke just stared at him, a bit taken back by his spunk before shrugging. I was only trying to help…

"Alright class. For those of you who don't know me, I am Professor Flitwick and today we are going to review a little bit."

"Whoa! Why the hell is that guy so short? He's like a midget only shorter," Naruto said grinning. Sasuke tried to hold back his laughter but he just couldn't. Everyone within earshot of Naruto laughed out loud. Sakura only glared at Naruto, holding up her fist in hopes of calming him down.

"I hate to say it, but the idiot has a point. I never thought about it that way," Malfoy commented. Sakura rolled her eyes at this. For someone who claims to be a lot better than Sasuke, he certainly doesn't show it. He may be a lot nicer to girls but he's just as rude as Naruto.

"Did I miss something?" Flitwick asked. He looked around the room utterly confused.

"Uh…no sir. Just uh…inside jokes I presume." Harry and Hermione, who were sitting next to Naruto were surprised to hear Ron's voice.

"Hey, when did you get back?" Hermione asked.

"We both just got back from the hospital wing. I was gonna just leave her up there but Madam Pomfrey pointed out that the staircases like to change and that she probably wouldn't be able to find her way back."

"Oh…oh yeah," Harry grinned. "Where is she now?"

"She's on her way to Care of Magical Creatures."

"I never thought anyone would be able to penetrate Snape's mind. Everyone knows he's experienced in Occlumency," Hermione said thoughtfully.

"Occlumency? What the heck is that?" Ron asked.

"Never mind. It's something I heard McGonagall mention in class one day."

"Yeah that nurse did find it odd that Snape let her in his head. She said it wasn't like him to be thrown off his game like that. Oh well…" Ron took a seat next to Hermione. By now, most of the class had missed Flitwick's entire review speech and were now just patiently awaiting their assignment.

"Now then," Flitwick began, "ready your wands. Remember to flick your wrist slightly and the spell is accio. I want all of you to try and get a peanut from the other side of the room."

Everyone took out their wands and began to practice summoning. Most people, like Hermione, got their peanut on the first try while others failed at it miserably. Draco was only too happy to show off. He quickly summoned his peanut and then dangled it around in Sakura's face. Sasuke ignored them completely for he was still trying to get his peanut across the room. He had managed to get it halfway but then he kept dropping it somehow. Naruto watched Sasuke's vain attempt and could not help but to laugh.

"I don't see what's so funny idiot. At least my peanut is off of its pillow." Naruto frowned and shrugged.

"I'm sorry but I really don't see the point of using a small stick to get a fricken peanut when I could just clone myself to go and get it myself. Or I could even summon one of my toads to go and get it for me."

"You're just mad cause you can't get your wand to work."

"Am not!"

"Then prove it." Naruto huffed before clasping his wand and pointing it at a peanut across the room.

"Ac-ceeeeeeeeo peanuts!" Immediately his wand started to vibrate and peanut after peanut flew his way. One peanut flew straight down his throat while others bounced off of people's foreheads.

"NARUTO! YOU IDIOT! YOU'RE ONLY SUPPOSED TO SUMMON ONE PEANUT! STOP SHOWING OFF!" Sakura screamed. But that wasn't the issue. Apparently Naruto said the spell wrong and more peanuts kept flying towards everyone. At this point people started running out of the room because it seemed that the peanuts kept enlarging themselves and were starting to hurt really badly. Naruto had dropped his wand and was choking on a peanut. Sasuke grabbed Naruto from behind to hold him while Sakura focused chakra to her hand. Then she punched Naruto in the stomach and the peanut came right up.

"Thanks…Sakura," he coughed.

"Yeah well how the hell are we supposed to fix this? I'm tired of being hit with peanuts!" Sasuke griped.

"I can fix it," Hermione said. "But…I don't want to get hit with a giant peanut."

"I'll stand in front of you," Neji offered. "Can you do it in five seconds? My rotation will protect us for about that long so you'll have to hurry."

"Alright." She hurried behind Neji and he immediately spun around super fast, the peanuts now bouncing off his chakra.

"Immobilus degorgeo!" The peanuts stopped moving and were now immobilized in mid air. They also had stopped growing as well. Some were even shrinking back to normal size.

"Thank you Neji," Hermione said with a smile.

"You're welcome. You didn't get hit did you? I'm always spinning so quickly that I never know what's in my path."

"No you were great!" she exclaimed. "I've never seen anything like that before." Ron looked a little sick to his stomach after watching Neji.

"Does that…make you dizzy?" he asked.

"Not anymore. I've had to use it so much now that it rarely phases me anymore."

"Uh…class…class dismissed," Flitwick managed. He had fallen back off of his podium at some point during the commotion and hadn't even bothered to try to get up because of the flying peanuts. Hermione and the others exited the room and stood outside in the hall.

"Well…we still have about an hour before our next class. What do you guys wanna do?" Harry asked.

"Well…I think…" Sakura started but she was immediately cut off by Malfoy. He and his friends had been waiting for Sakura to come so that they could chat with her.

"Sakura is it?"

"Yeah."

"I think you should let me show you around the school grounds."

"Well uh…I don't…" This could be my chance to find out some things that may help us with our investigation about Orochimaru. "Yeah, sure. Why not? I have nothing better to do." Naruto, Sasuke, Harry and Ron all dropped their jaws.

"Sakura, what are you…?" Naruto started but Sasuke nudged him in side. "Ow what was that for?"

"Dummy what is the whole purpose for our trip here in this other dimension?"

"Uh…to catch Orochimaru?"

"Exactly. She needs information on Voldemort in order to find Orochimaru. She's using that jelly head to get info."

"Oh…oh I get it now. So what are we going to do until then?"

"Well, I got hit in the head with a peanut which means you're pretty much dead meat Naruto."

"Yeah well you'll have to catch me first!" The others watched as Naruto and Sasuke took off down the hall turning towards the small staircase that led outside.

"Those two never cease to amaze me. It's only a matter of time before one or the other admits their true feelings," Neji said with a sigh.

"Wait a sec. You mean they're both gay?" Harry asked.

"Well, not necessarily. You see, in Japan everyone is pretty open-minded about their sexual preferences. In other words, it doesn't really matter who they fall in love with. If they're a guy and they fall in love with a guy then that's just how it is. I dated a guy once but it was completely one sided since I didn't really feel anything for him. I wouldn't say that I'm gay because I am crushing on a girl right now but I will admit that I am not completely against the idea of dating another guy. Personally, I think that if all people took that perspective then it wouldn't be such a big deal to them when they happen to come across 'gay' people," Neji answered with a shrug.

"Oh…wow. That really makes a lot of sense when you put it that way," Ron replied. "Well anyway, I uh…I have to go…be somewhere."

"Somewhere as in where?" Harry asked raising his eyebrow.

"Uh…I told Ino that I would show her around the castle," he shrugged. "I figure I could meet her now while I have time to kill."

"I see," Hermione said pursing her lips. "Well get a move on then!" she snapped. Ron winced before heading off. Harry just shook his head and turned his attention back to the window. Sasuke had finally caught up to Naruto and they were now rolling around on the ground trying to punch each other.

"Ha ha ha Tha's great. I think I'm gonna…go…and watch those two. Maybe I can get them a part long enough to chat with Naruto about his kyuubi." Harry ran off leaving Neji and Hermione behind.

"Damn those two. I should have known it would be this way. Oh well…guess I'll go to the library or something."

"I have a better idea. How about we take a walk around the lake? There's an interesting creature out there and I think I want a closer look."

"There are a ton of interesting creatures in that lake. Some have never been seen before. What did you see?"

"Well, I used my Byakugan to scope the area and I could have sworn I saw a giant squid."

"Oh neat! Let's go!" She grabbed his hand and they took off as well."

--CHARMING--

"You wished to see me headmaster?" Snape sat in one of the big chairs in front of Dumbledore's desk with a bored expression on his face.

"Yes. There's been a change of plans. I need you to leave tomorrow morning for Konoha."

"What? Why?"

"Because you don't have any classes tomorrow and I think you should go get aquainted with the Lady Tsunade."

"I'd rather vomit."

"Oh come Severus. How could you say something like that and you've never even met the woman?"

"Because if she's anything like the infidels that were in my potion's class today then I'd really rather vomit."

"You know Severus, you may have brought that on yourself."

"THAT GIRL ATTACKED ME!"

"Yeah but I thought you were proficient in Occlumency?" Albus asked raising his eyebrows. There was an awkward silence before Severus spoke up again.

"You forget what day it is Albus," he said quietly. There was a long pause before Albus spoke up again.

"I'm sorry Severus. I didn't…"

"I'm sure you knew and to answer your question, I get like this every year on the anniversary of her death. But now that you know, I must admit that I did bring it upon myself today. Had my mind been focused on the task at hand then nothing like that would have happened. Unless there's anything else, I must get going. It seems I have a fleeting need to get packed. How long am I staying?"

"Well just for a night. Afterwards you'll be staying there every weekend unless you two work something else out. In the meantime, I have to go as well. The tournament is fast approaching and I need to make sure everything's ready."

"Very well."

--XX--

"Sasuke get off of me! I hate you!"

"And I hate you but I got hit in the head with a giant peanut so I could care less. Now hold still while I punch you in the face!"

"As if I'd let a stupid pretty boy like you hit me in the face. Get real!" Naruto grabbed both of Sasuke's arms and flipped him over. Then he straddled him grabbing hold of his shirt with one hand, pulling him forward. Then he drew back to hit him.

"Say your prayers loser. I win this time." Sasuke closed his eyes and waited for impact but nothing happened. When he opened his eyes Naruto had transformed into a pretty blonde girl with pigtails. She was staring back at him playfully.

"Na…Naruto?" he stammered.

"Oh Sasuke! I think you're so hot. Kiss me Sasuke!" Naruto pulled Sasuke closer and planted a big one on his lips. Sasuke's eyes went wide with surprise before he shoved the teen off of him.

"Dammit Naruto!" He grabbed him by his legs and swung him hard into the tree behind him. The jutsu wore off and Naruto body started sliding down the trunk of the tree. Sasuke made a mad dash and grabbed the front of his shirt, jacking him up against the tree.

"Sasuke, that was mean. That really hurt you know, especially in girl form," he whined.

"Yeah well I don't care. What the hell was that all about…transforming using your harem jutsu?"

"I was trying to ruin your reputation. I was hoping some of the ladies would see me and think you're taken so you'd lose all your cool points with the ladies, especially Sakura." Sasuke just laughed at this.

"Nice try loser only one problem, THERE'S NO ONE ELSE AROUND!"

"Oh…yeah."

"God you're such an IDIOT!"

"AND YOU'RE A LOSER!"

"AM NOT!"

"ARE TOO!" Then Naruto let a small smirk escape his lips.

"What's so fucking funny?"

"Nothing. I just think that you're already losing your cool points with the ladies. That Malfoy idiot has your woman. Though to her it may be an undercover mission, he might be thinking otherwise. I personally think he's a lot prettier than you. I bet he kisses better than you too. I need to ask Sakura this later. Maybe I'll get Ino to…"

He was silenced by a pair of lips nibbling at his lower one. Then he felt a tongue trace the outside of his lips before he felt it slide gracefully inside his mouth. The kiss was pure bliss making Naruto's head spin. He wrapped his arms around Sasuke, who complied deepening the kiss. Sasuke was pretty sure that he felt Naruto's arousal pressing up against his leg and it was turning him on. He pulled away to catch his breath before attacking his lips again. Naruto responded with just as much hunger, his hands now sliding gracefully down his back. Sasuke's lips left Naruto's and started towards his ear.

"Who kisses better now Naruto?" he whispered.

"Uh…"

"I can tell you now that his kisses are nothing like that!" They both jumped and Sasuke turned to see Harry standing a few feet away grinning from ear to ear.

AN: Alright. There you have it. The latest update and it was longer than I expected which is good for you considering the fact that I haven't updated in a long time. Um sometimes the characters will seem a little OOC but I think I did well for the most part, keeping them in canon.

Ron: "I think we should give them spoilers for the next chapter."

Me: "No. I am NOT giving out spoilers. And you better not either or I'll kill you off!"

Naruto: "Oh man. Come on Nefatiri! I wanna know what happens next!"

Me: "Well you're just going to have to wait."

Sasuke: "I bet you do Naruto."

Harry: "Te he I remember what happens next…"

Sasuke: "Wipe that fucking grin off your face. You're smiling as if…tell me you and Naruto didn't…"

Harry: "I dunno. You'll just have to wait and see."

Neji: "You guys are really something else. You really don't remember do you? Well I do. In the next chapter Master Jiraiya gets caught…"

Jiraiya: "Shut it Neji! Otherwise I'll spill the beans to your beloved about you and…"

Me: "All of you, SHUT UP!"

Kakashi: "Geez, you're meaner than Tsunade sometimes."

Severus: "I agree."

Tsunade: "I heard that!"

Me: "Really, until next time folks…Ta Ta. Oh and please review!"
