A/N: A/N: The Christmas Carnival at school a few days ago and every year the grade eights run it. I was doing Kareoke with my friends, so I had all the songs on my MP3. I can put pictures on it and then put those pictures as my background. So, of course, my background was a really cute SasuSaku pic. Then this kid looks over my shoulder (which I really hate), and points at it and shouts "Is that Naruto?!? That's so stupid!!! How old are you, like 13?! That show is for babies!" What a DICKWAD!

GRRRR!

Riley: -punches kid in face- SCREW YOU!

Lauren: -traps Riley in magical rainbow…… then punches kid again-

Oh, and I know Dumbledore is suppose to be -* SPOILER START*- dead -*SPOILER END*-, but this isn't following the 6th or 7th book, seeing as how there were no ninjas in those books.

XXXXXXXXXX

It was just as they remembered. Four rows of tables for each house, banners with the house colours, the long table at the front for the professors. Even the enchanted ceiling, resembling a clear night sky. And of course, no one could forget the flouting candles. Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto quickly followed the wizards to their usual place at the Hogwarts table. But as soon as Sasuke and Sakura sat down, next to each other for a reason unknown to them, something seemed oddly familiar. Not like the reminders they have been getting, but more like a strange feeling.

Bringing attention back to the rest of the Great hall, Dumbledore stood up and lightly tapped his glass with his fork, but the dinging sound spread throughout the entire hall.

"Welcome students new and old, to another year at Hogwarts! I hope you'll find it a wonderful new year as we prepare ourselves for the magical world. I'd also like to welcome back Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki who will be assisting in protecting the school this year!" Dumbledore announced.

The Anbu stood up from the crowd. Sasuke and Sakura bowed toward Dumbledore in respect, and Naruto took of his mask and grinned. But when he looked over at his team-mates he followed them and bowed quickly.

"Now, let the feast begin!"

The tables here immediately filled with a wide variety of foods, and much to Naruto's happiness, he found some of his precious ramen.

It seemed that a lot of the Gryffindors around them remembered them very well even though the Anbu may not remember them. Fred and George seemed very eager to make them remember. And so, they... well....

Fred pinched George.

"Ow!" George complained. "How come I had to get pinched?" he asked his brother

"Because Naruto pinched you last time. They'd remember better."

"Like it matters! We're twins! They would've remembered the scene either way!"

"You're just mad because I was quicker than you!"

"Oh yeah!? See if you're quicker than this!"

Fred and George then tackled each other to the ground.

A few seconds later, seconds filled with an awkward pause, Naruto slammed his fist into his open hand. "Now I remember!"

Sakura laughed lightly, before something caught her eye. She turned her head around to see a boy, about 18, with black shaggy hair and the darkest blue eyes she had ever seen. His glance met hers for a second, and then he went back to poking his food. No one seemed to be talking to him. He glanced up at her again, except this time, his eyes changed to a menacing yellow, with slits instead on pupils and black dots circling around it.

A sudden searing pain shot through her right bicep. She winced and clutched it tightly. She willed her eyes to open from cringing, and looked back at the boy. His once meaningless glare turned into a death glare, his eyes still strangely coloured. Sakura clutched her arm tighter as the pain grew. She whirled around so she didn't meet the boy's eyes.

But that didn't stop the pain. She howled in pain, and this time, the people around her all but heard it.

"Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked innocently. "Sa-Sakura-chan! What is it?"

"You okay?" Sasuke asked, with hint of concern in his voice.

"Ah, yeah. I can handle it." She said through gritted teeth, as if she was trying to prove herself not weak. Sakura focused her healing chakra to her left hand that clutched her bicep, trying to kill of the pain. But it was no use. She screamed as the pain still grew.

"AHHH! MAKE IT STOP!!" She screamed

Sasuke immediately grabbed her elbow and used his other hand to reach out and gently hit her pressure point. Her head jerked back, and she caught a glimpse of someone hitting the boy's neck before Sakura's vision and strength slowly started to leave her. Her left side collapsed and she almost fell under the table, before Naruto caught her arm. As her consciousness started to sweep out, she saw a small marking on the bottom of the table. It was a heart and inside the heart it said.

Sasuke + Sakura.

And it all became black.

WHOA SH- O.o Do you remember what was on her right bicep? Ohhh! I'm testing you! And to top that off, I'm leaving you with a CLIFFY!
