Chapter 10: Glances

Monday rolled in without warning and it was a new school day once again. Sasuke felt odd; or rather he felt that everyone else around him was behaving oddly. Sakura for once seemed to be avoiding him, but at the same time she would blush like mad and giggle as soon as she caught sight of him. Gaara would glare at him, well he was used to that, but some how these glares were much worse, they were filled with more killing intent than usual. Yet Naruto his future boyfriend-and-lover-to-be; was nowhere to be seen; when ever he got close to Naruto Gaara would appear and glare daggers at him. Not only that; but his shifts with the Kyuubi vessel seemed to have changed as well...

Something was definitely wrong since the day he fell asleep, but he could not place it; he tugged his vest on and strapped the buckles on, and went to grab his mask but stopped himself; after all he still had something to prove to the little blonde. He was not scared of girls...just weary of them. Although he had to wonder if anyone was focused on the mission anymore after all the commotion that was going on.

Sasuke looked once more at his room making sure he had everything with him, and then made his way out.

"Are you sure about this Naruto?"

"Yea, I can't keep dwelling on this for too long; we have a mission and that takes a bigger priority than anything...else."

Gaara sighed, he looked at Naruto with his teal eyes, the blonde was a wreak his usual clear blue eyes were now dull and bloodshot from all the crying, his hair was matted and his clothing was dishevelled so badly that it seemed like he just slept in them, which he most likely did. Naruto had come running to him crying on Saturday, it had taken a few hours for the boy to calm down and tell him what had happened, and what he revealed made him want to kill the Uchiha, and rip that Haruno bitch to pieces, till her remains were unrecognisable.

And what made it worse was the fact that the Uchiha acted as if nothing had happened. He still went to try and see Naruto but Gaara would make sure that Sasuke did not even get a glimpse of the smaller boy.

"I can take your shift today at least, then you can get cleaned up a bit."

"You already took my shift for the past two days without a break Gaara, I can't shoulder my responsibilities on you all the time; you also need your sleep."

"I suffer from insomnia Naruto...I don't sleep." Naruto gave a heavy sigh. He knew Gaara was lying; since Shukaku was gone Gaara had been sleeping more, but old habits must be hard to break, and so he walked into the adjoining bathroom.

"You can't look after me forever Gaara..."

"Doesn't mean I can't try..." Naruto giggled slightly at that answer.

Naruto looked into the mirror that hung in his bathroom, he grimaced at his appearance. He opened a tap and sprayed water onto his face to look a bit cleaner; but gave up on his hair. The Kyuubi vessel picked up his ANBU jacket and put it on; he gave a weak smile to Gaara and left the room without another word.

"Hey Naruto!" Naruto turned around to see Neji walking towards them.

"What is it Neji?"

"I was just wondering in what two man groups we would be set up in."

"Oh yea; well I guess that you and Gaara will be in a group, Kiba has Akamaru and if you see Shikamaru tell him to meet Kiba, and Sa-er Sakura will most likely stay in the infirmary."

"Okay that's good then," said Neji staring at Gaara intensely.

"NARUTO!" Naruto sighed inwardly, was no one willing to leave him alone?

"What is it Kiba?" he asked as he saw the young man walk towards him with radio dangling in his hands, his dog following close behind.

"The Com-Link doesn't work here, I checked the batteries out, and even took the damn thing apart but I can't find anything wrong with it."

"Oh yea..."smiled Naruto as he scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Electronic stuff doesn't work here, something about the magic barriers."

"How the hell are we meant to contact both you, and Sasuke?! You both are team captiains, since your both part of Corps-brigade, and if there is a breach it would take forever for one of us to reach you!"

Naruto thought about it for a while; it was true, he and Sasuke were part of the special one man teams called Corps-brigade that take on high class mission, since one person is harder to track then a normal four man team. They actually very rarely had missions together, but that just showed how high class this mission was. An idea came into his mind; Naruto quickly made some symbols and with a poof of smoke there were two other Naruto's smiling at them.

"One of them will go to with each of you, and if anything happens just destroy them and the information will come back to me. This way I will know, and either Sasuke or I will come to you as reinforcements."

They all nodded and went to their different posts.

(Some random place, I feel too lazy to explain)

"I'm sure you have heard about the new addition of guards at Hogwarts?"

"Yea, what are we meant to do about that?"

"Test them."

"Test them?

"Yes, master wished for us to test them, you know find out any weaknesses from them."

"And how do we do that?"

"In the easiest way of course; how about a little invasion...?"

Naruto slowly stepped into the Great Hall; he quickly went by one of the tables and grabbed an apple for a quick breakfast. His blue eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, he found Sasuke on the other side of the Hall, leaning against one of the pillars. The raven caught sight of him quickly, and started making his way towards him.

Naruto didn't know what to do, he could either run away from the situation like many times before, or he could keep his ground and face it. But Naruto wanted to run; he felt betrayed, Sasuke said that he loved no one but him, and then he goes and shares a moment with Sakura. Maybe he had waited too long...maybe Sasuke got impatient and moved away from him...

Or maybe he meant nothing to the dark haired teen in the first place and it was only a ploy to get Kyuubi to stop bugging him...

'Don't think like that kit. He may be stubborn like many Uchiha's; but he would not make jokes about something as serious as that.'

'You were about to rape him, I think he would have said or done anything to get rid of you...'

'Maybe, but afterwards he still chased you; he was still willing to follow you...'

'He most likely was just angry with me! He probably wanted answers from me for my odd behaviour.'

'Kit...'

'No Kyuubi, I just don't want to think about that for now...' he could feel the old fox inwardly sighing at him but he ignored it.

Sasuke was getting closer to Naruto, his feet were willing him to move but he stayed there staring at Sasuke.

"Are you alright?" a new voice asked.

Naruto turned around and was met by wide silver grey eyes of one of the students; she had light blonde hair and a petite figure. She had odd things attached to her robes; if he remembered correctly she was one of Harry's many friends, Luna, daughter of the owner of 'The Quibbler'.

"Huh...?" he asked.

"I said 'are you alright'? You look tired."

"I'm fine thank you for asking." He turned to look at Sasuke again who had stopped his approach and was now leaning against the wall again.

"It's alright, just don't let Squigmores bother you anymore..." she said in a faraway dreamy voice.

"Erm..Squig-what?"

"You know a Squigmores they go into your brain and make you look as if you had a hangover for since you were born."

"O...Oh! Yea Squigmwhatsits...sure yea they can be a real pest..."

The girl nodded at him and gave a bright smile; while Naruto felt very awkward around her, he smiled like usual, while scratching the back of his head. Sasuke watched him with a smirk; he could see how uncomfortable the blonde was, but he also noticed how unsettled Naruto was, his happy appearance was forced, and he looked tired overall. He watched the girl walk away, and then the bell rang to indicate the beginning of the first lesson, and slowly the Great Hall emptied itself. Sasuke slowly made his way towards Naruto again; the blonde was fidgeting and trying his best not to make eye contact.

A sudden shiver went down Naruto's spine and his blue eyes widened as he looked straight at Sasuke. Even Sasuke noticed the sudden change and stopped his movements; he cocked his head to the side and looked worried.

"Naruto, what's wrong?" he asked.

"We're under attack." The blonde said slowly.

The ground shook.

"Fucking Wizards!" shouted Kiba as he jumped away from another spell that was aimed at him. Akamaru growled beside him at the masked people.

It all happened quickly one moment he was walking outside with Akamaru and Naruto's clone, the Akamaru started growling and barking furiously, and the next thing he knew he was surrounded.

Kiba took out another Kunai and tied a bomb tag to it; he threw it at the few wizards that he managed to keep there. The Wizards managed to avoid the projectile but the explosion that came with it was not expected. Bodies flew aimlessly through the air; he stopped his movements and looked at the few knocked out people on the ground that surrounded the small crater.

"AVADA-!"

Kiba turned around and saw a few of the cloaked Wizards pointing there wands at him, but they were frozen, Kiba looked behind them and grinned when he saw who was there.

"Took ya' long enough Shika!"

"This is so troublesome." Said the shadow nin as he held the wizards with his Kagemane no Jutsu (the art of Me-and-my-shadow). "Hurry up and knock them out we still have to meet up with the others."

Kiba nodded and hit their pressure points, effectively putting them to sleep; Shikamaru released the jutsu while Kiba quickly took out some rope and tied the Death Eaters up. They then quickly made their way towards the school to get the ones that managed to escape.

"Sabaku Sousou (Desert Coffin!)"

Bodies crushed under the pressure of the sand, screams were silenced as they were crushed to death. The sand returned back to his gourd and Gaara slowly turned around when he noticed someone behind him. Another masked figure, the sand rose around him crushing the man's arm where he held the funny stick.

Neji activated his Byakugan registering his opponent's chakra opening points, blocking them so that they could not use that magic stuff. He then knocked them out harshly, without there magic they were useless.

The Naruto clone had disappeared some time ago, after getting hit by a particularly nasty spell. The attack had come unexpectedly, but they quickly managed to bring it under control.

"Ryuusa Bakuryu (Desert Avalanch)!" Gaara clapped his hands together a large amount of sand started shifting all round him, raising like pillars into the sky and then crashing down on the last of the Death Eaters. Neji turned to look at him with a smug smile.

"You just have to show off don't you?" Gaara smirked and shrugged his shoulders. Neji looked at the bodies again thoughtfully. "I think we should have left a few at least for interrogation..."

"Oh well," said Gaara as he made his way through the school to look for more intruders.

Neji followed closed behind.

Naruto quickly turned his head when he heard the screams coming from the corridor, he quickly made the necessary symbols "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow clone jutsu)!"

Many of his clones appeared running towards the noise Naruto followed close unsheathing the Katana, and Sasuke copied him; he activated his Sharingan and took out his own Katana and ran into the mass.

The Corridors were packed with panicking students and the Death Eater's, who were aimed spells randomly at things. Some of the Naruto clones attacked the Death Eaters, knocking them to the ground, while others directed the students to safety. Sasuke channelled chakra to his feet and with incredible speed moved towards the Death Eaters, he sliced his swords across their fragile bodies, they dropped to the hard stone floor limply. Sasuke turned to another Death Eater behind him; the cloaked wizard lifted his arm, and pointed his wand at Sasuke.

"Avada Kedavra!" the man shouted, as green light came out of the wand; he was too close and Sasuke knew he would not be able to avoid that spell completely. But the impact never came. Sasuke saw a flash of bright blonde hair, then a loud scream. He looked down and saw Naruto on the floor clutching his side.

Sasuke turned to the cloaked Wizard, his Sharingan twisting wildly he growled at the man. The Death Eater started shaking and took his wand to utter another spell.

"Protego!" the man stuttered out. But Sasuke moved quickly digging the sword into the wizards abdomen, he glared manically at the man.

"Your spell won't protect you." He spat out and dragged the Katana up cutting the body in front of him open, blood spurted at him, but he ignored it and concentrated at the man in front of him who dared to hurt his Naruto.

Sasuke mutilated the body some more and then walked away from the slab of flesh on the floor, he moved towards Naruto, and noticed that someone was already with Naruto. Harry was kneeling beside Naruto, his green eyes filled with panic as he regarded the unconscious body; the saviours body was shaking as he looked from Naruto to Sasuke.

"Move." Said Sasuke as he bent down to pick up the blonde, and walked towards the infirmary.

"Uchiha what the hell happened!" Sasuke looked to where the voice came from and noticed Kiba and Shikamaru coming towards him. "What happened to Naruto?!" Kiba asked as he saw the young blonde in Sasuke arms.

"I'll get him to infirmary you go to Gaara and Neji and tell them to secure the area; Shikamaru go to the Headmaster and ask about a spell called Avada Kedavra, and then help Kiba with securing the area." They nodded and quickly jumped away to find the Kazakage and Hyuuga.

Sasuke looked down at Naruto's pale face and hurried towards the Infirmary.

Harry watched the blonde guard being taken away; this was unreal he watched them fight, saw how dangerous they were, but he was afraid. He saw how the curse hit the blonde; the killing curse, a curse that no one except him had ever survived. Another person had died; another person had died because of him...

"Harry!" the voice tore him out of his musings. He turned around to see Hermione and Ron running up to him.

"Harry we have to go back to the Gryffindor tower and await further instructions."

Harry slowly nodded and followed his friends, but his thoughts never left the blonde boy and his dull blue eyes.

The reason why this chapter is so damn late is because I was busy, exam season is starting up soon, and I still haven't finished any of my projects or Coursework. So I'm working on them while trying at the same time to do some revision. Now exam season for me won't end till the end of June, and I have to deal also with the fact that I got three of them on my birthday.

So I've had no time to work much on my fic's, and fight scenes are not my forte; so do not think I died or anything or gave up on my fic's, I'm just a College student trying to meet deadlines and avoid the wrath of my parents. Lol

The Corps-brigade, and the Squigmore is just stuff I made up and has nothing to do with the story.

Now that I have finished my rant, I want reviews, LOTS, AND LOTS OF THEM!

Thank you!
