You know what...I think more people were excited of the prospects of jackets than the actual story...
I know this chapter took longer then expected but that was because I had to figure out how I would set out this chapter, it's meant to be exciting and so I hope I have archived that! Although I would like to say that not everyone will be jumping into sex, this is after all only the beginning of a relationship between most of the character, and those of you wondering where the GaaNeji stuff is, not to worry it will happen soon!
Mega thanks to the people that voted!
Thank you also goes to my partner in crime 'ilovenaruto2007' who beta's my amazingly crappy grammar.
Enjoy!

Chapter 15: A little Accident!
The next day Naruto walked through the Great Hall for breakfast, and the once chatter filled hall went quiet. Everyone in the hall except for Hermione and Harry stared at the blonde perplexed and in awe, Naruto felt his cheeks heat up as he walked over to his usual corner and stood there. Sasuke entered the room soon after and stood beside Naruto; the sharingan user wasn't going to take anymore chances after what happened last time. Harry stood up and Hermione and Ron followed him.
"How are you feeling now?" he asked.
"I feel great thanks to both of you, especially you Miss Ganger, I owe you a great debt." Naruto said and gave a low bow.
Hermione flustered and giggled a little she returned the bow while Ron looked a bit suspicious. Hermione, feeling her boyfriend's mind starting to form its own conclusion, latched herself onto him and gave him a small peck on the cheek. The red head's ears went a bright red, and he gave a sheepish smile to the bushy haired girl.
"You should go and finish your breakfast now, not to worry Mr Potter I'm fine. Now go and eat. Oh wait," Naruto tugged at Harry's robe and pulled him close to whisper into his ear, "One of our team members said that you shouldn't do night-time outings that much anymore. Or at least choose somewhere else less public to have a meeting." Naruto winked at Harry and he blushed furiously.
He coughed; while Hermione and Ron eyed him suspiciously, but Harry didn't say anything and jogged back to Gryffindor table. Hermione and Ron looked at each other and then followed him; Sasuke arched his eyebrows and leaned into Naruto.
"What did you say to him?" he whispered to Naruto.
"It's private," replied Naruto in a teasing tone as he gave wide grin.
Sasuke pouted in disappointment, and linked his arms together; nearby they heard a shrieking sound of someone landing hard on the stone floor. Naruto and Sasuke quickly took out their weapons in case of another attack but only found a girl passed out with blood leaking from her nostrils. Naruto giggled and went to prop the girl up; he reached into his jacket and took out a small veil of smelling salt. Naruto popped open the cork and placed the vial under her nose.
The girl coughed at the smell and started waking up, when she saw both of them, a blush started forming on her face and she looked ready to pass out again. Naruto shook the girl again "Hey don't fall asleep, maybe you should go see the nurse, blood coming from your nose can't be a good sign."
He smiled at her while she nodded dumbly at him, he helped her stand up and watched her stagger away.
"It seems like you even have fangirls here teme."
"I'm not the only one dobe, just look around, it seems like the whole school was worried about your well fare."
"How could they not, I'm such a likeable character!"
"Don't be so cocky dobe." Naruto also gave a light pout and then started giggling.
"Ohayo dickless, it's good to see you up and running again!"
"Sai what are you doing here? And stop calling me dickless, you know very well that I have a penis, so stop saying that!" Sasuke eyebrows shot up at the comment, he looked over at Sai who was still smiling at Naruto.
"Ah c'mon Naruto I know you don't mind; now the reason I'm here, was as your replacement."
"That means that you'll be leaving us now right? After all Naruto is awake." Sasuke asked.
"Hmmm...no, I decided to stay a while longer..."Sai gave a sultry smile towards Naruto.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed, he really didn't like the way he looked at Naruto, who didn't seem to notice the attention but was watching the owl post arriving.
One particular striped owl was in his sight; it was medium size owl with two large ear tufts projected from the top of its head in an angel, its eyes were rimmed in a black disk and its beak was just as black. The owl had small wings that had a striped pattern running down its back, till it reached its long feathered tail. The owl landed right by Harry who looked at the bird in surprise as it tucked his powerful talon foot out. He waited for Harry to open the letter and found the boy blushing fiercely as he read through it.
A grin formed across Naruto's face; he shifted his gaze to another blonde, who looked like he was about to jump from his seat in excitement when Harry got the letter. Yet Naruto was still oblivious to the one sided glaring match that was going on between Sasuke and Sai, behind him. Sasuke was glaring at Sai in hopes of intimidating the other teen away while Sai took no notice of the Uchiha and just kept smiling.
"Hey Naruto!" Sai finally said catching the blonde's attention. "I forgot to give you something!"
Sai started rummaging through his many pockets while Sasuke was on alert for whatever Sai was planning. Sai then took out a small box that was wrapped in bright paper; he gave it to Naruto who smiled happily at the creepy boy.
"Thank you Sai, you didn't have to do this!"
"Of course I did, after all it is your birthday, and here is one from the Hokage as well."
Sasuke eyebrows shot up high; had he just heard that right? Birthday? As in his dobe's birthday?! TODAY WAS OCTOBER THE 10TH?! How could he have forgotten that; he never really celebrated that day in Konoha, since it was always used as a festival of the Kyuubi's sealing; but it was also Naruto's birthday. What kind of a boyfriend was he to have forgotten such an important day?!
He watched as Naruto slowly unwrapped the presents and started gushing over them, and saying how thoughtful they were. Sasuke saw how Sai's smile spread with glee, and he felt anger bubbling inside of him. Sasuke quickly grabbed hold of the dark haired teen and quickly dragged him away. He didn't stop till they reached the empty corridors and then he let go of Sai's arm.
"What are you playing at Sai?" Sasuke snarled out.
"Sasuke, I can't understand a word you are saying, after all I still haven't gotten one of those languages changing tattoo yet." Sai replied as always calm.
"I'm asking you what you are planning Sai?!"
"I'm not 'planning' anything at all Sasuke-kun; just been tactful of Naruto's feelings."
"I know that you're doing this for some gain, so tell."
"Gain? The only gain I want Sasuke-kun, is Naruto."
"Hah! Then you should already know Sai ,that I and Naruto are already together."
"The way I see it Uchiha, is that your relationship with Naruto is like a Ming vase, precious but so easily breakable, and I just may be the rock to shatter it." he quickly made some symbols and disappeared in a poof of smoke before Sasuke could pounce him, and beat that smile off his face.
Sasuke growled in anger and punched the wall; there was a sound like gasping that came off the wall. Sasuke looked up and saw that he had punched one of the many portraits. The woman looked peeved at him for hitting her so harshly; but Sasuke paid her scowling no mind, and started walking towards his room.
Sasuke didn't notice how quickly he had reached their dorm area; he quickly said the password to the portrait and stepped inside the lounge. The rest of the team was still their getting their own kit together; they stared at the fuming Uchiha and wondered what had happened now.
"Did any of you know that it was Naruto's birthday?" he asked.
"Yea!" said Kiba as he took out a small box from his pocket.
"Sure we did, didn't you know?" asked Neji as he stepped out of his own room.
"...No..."
"That is just bad Uchiha; I would have expected better from you. I would suggest you find something quickly to give him for his birthday then." Gaara said as he passed him by in his usual monotone voice.
Sasuke grumbled and went out of the dorm room, and started walking through the halls. In all honesty he had nothing to give; the things he had brought with him were a few personal items, and no money. There was no need for money on this mission, although he didn't think that any of his money would be much use in the foreign land.
Sasuke found himself near the moving staircase; he sighed and sat down on the banister, and stared at the floor. He needed to get money and then he needed to figure out a where the nearest village or town was. It all seemed hopeless; and he had left Naruto with that dastardly Sai...creepy smiling git-
"You alright?" Sasuke quickly looked up and found Harry looking at his quizzically, the boy had a small stack of books in his one hand; he was most likely going to his next lesson.
"I'm fine." He said slowly gritting his teeth together. Harry gave him a look that stated that he didn't believe him.
"Is it about Naruto?"
"..."
"Does it have anything to with that other guy with short black hair?"
"Grrrr..."
"Ah, was it about him giving Naruto a present?"
"Why don't you just let this go...?"
"Sadly I just can't, if their is a mystery I'm just drawn to it, so I can't help but be curious about it...er"
"My name is Sasuke; although no one was meant to know our names since it was against protocol, but since you already know Naruto's I guess it doesn't matter much." He sighed heavily and looked at Harry again.
"It's Naruto's birthday today and I have completely forgotten about it, so now I'm stumped about it. I have no money and I have no clue where the nearest village is. So there is no way that I can buy a gift for him, and Sai that bastard may have a chance with him."
Harry blinked a few times and stared at Sasuke "You and Naruto are...together?"
"Yea; you have a problem with that?" he asked in a stern voice.
"No, no; I had my suspicions, I was wondering why both of you were so close."
"Hnh..."
"Heh, heh; well either way I could lend you some money to buy Naruto something. There is a village called Hogsmeade nearby where you should be able to buy a gift; but I can't take you their since it's not a Hogsmeade weekend."
"Hnh...you're coming with me either way." He grabbed the boy's arm and started dragging him with him.
"Hey wait!" he said pulling his arm back. "I can't just leave, if I leave the school I'll be in trouble!"
"You have that invisibility cloak, don't you? Just bring that along; we need to hurry, I don't have all day."
Harry was startled by Sasuke's reaction; he saw the determined glint in his dark pool, and nodded. "I have to put my books away; meet me at the 3rd staircase near a Gargoyle that looks like Griffon."
Sasuke nodded and left while Harry hurried back through the moving staircase back to his dorm.
OoOoOoOoOoO
Sasuke tapped his feet while standing by the Gargoyle; his eyes were red and tracing the hallways for any unusual chakra movements; there was a slight disturbance in the chakra pattern near the wall. Sasuke reached into his pocket and took out his kunai; he aimed it and threw it against the wall beside the disorder.
"Hey, you could have hit me!" screamed the invisible figure throwing the cloak away to reveal himself. Harry fumed at the smug looking man.
"I didn't hit you, now hurry up." Harry huffed and took out his wand. He stepped towards the Gargoyle and tapped the Griffons beak. The statue started to slowly shifting to the side to reveal a tiny passage way that Harry stepped through. Sasuke was slightly impressed in what magic could do and stepped in after Harry. The tunnel lead near the outskirts of the village; and as Harry had said the place wasn't large at all but it did have plenty of shops.
"So what kind of things does Naruto like?"
"I don't really know; as it turns out a lot of things I thought I knew about Naruto have turned out to be a little false. I just have missed out a lot in his life."
"Well then... how about we just look into each shop, and then maybe you will see something that he may like." Harry said as he pulled the cloak over his head again.
Sasuke nodded and followed him; he got many curious glances along the way, well it was to be expected. He was a stranger in their little village, and these dark times everyone was looked upon with scrutiny especially with the way he was dressed, it wasn't often that civilians saw a person dressed in ANBU armour, even more unusual in a place like Scotland. (I think they said that the school was located somewhere up north.)
"Okay first location Zonko's joke shop. They sell quite good pranking material." Harry whispered.
"When Naruto was younger he loved to play pranks, maybe he would like some. Wait how much money can I borrow?" A large pouch was thrown at him which he easily caught; he opened it and gasped at the large amount of gold coins in it.
"Wait! How much is this?!" he asked bewildered.
"I'd say about 100 galleons at least; that should be more than enough to buy a decent gift with." Harry said giving a small laugh.
"But why would you do that? You don't even know Naruto to spend this much money on him!"
"Don't worry, think of it as a gift from me as well; Naruto is a pretty great guy, but it's just a way he smiles sometimes, it doesn't meet his eyes." Sasuke was surprised that Harry had noticed that; then again people with tragic pasts seem to notice when others have been through the same thing.
"You're too attentive for your own good Harry; maybe that's why you get into so much trouble."
"Heh, I guess so, now lets hurry shall we? Before anyone notices I'm missing." Sasuke nodded and walked inside the Joke shop.
There were quite a few things that Naruto would like Dungbombs they would be good when fending of any off those annoying students. Sasuke bought a few of them and a few things for Harry that he was nudging at him for, from under his cloak. They left Zonko's and made there way through the village again, Harry grabbed his vest and started dragging him towards another shop.
It was a small place that was simply named 'Romantica', the shop windows were aligned with stuff toys of bares holding hearts and animated figures dancing around each other. Sasuke stared at the store with wide eyes he gaped at the amount of pink that the place had, there was even more shades of pink than even Sakura had on her many outfits.
"What is this?" Sasuke hissed at the 'invisible' Harry.
"Well Naruto is your boyfriend isn't he? So get him a romantic gift." Harry whispered back.
"I'm not the 'romantic' type..." he said slowly and was about to walk away.
"Oh I see...I guess that other guy has a better chance with Naruto than you do..." Sasuke stopped in his tracks and turned to glare at Harry, he looked at the shop again and gave a heavy sigh.
Harry grinned triumphantly as Sasuke opened the pink painted door, it gave a musical jingle as it opened, and Sasuke shivered at all the 'girly' looking objects aligning the shelves. A woman just walked through another door behind the counter; she saw him, and her cheeks reddened brightly and she gave him a shy smile, while running her long fingers through her brown hair.
"How may I help you?" she asked, her voice almost sing-song causing another shiver to go down his spine.
"I'm looking something to give to my boyfriend." He said emphasising the 'boyfriend' part. Her eyes widened and her mouth formed a silent 'O', she was certainly disappointed; but gave a bright smile and beckoned him to the counter.
"Here are a few thing that your partner may like." She said pointing at the glass counter.
He looked through the glass case; and frowned...EVERYTHING WAS BRIGHT FLORECENT PINK!
His eyebrow twitched and he looked away and looked around the other shelves for something, and something small caught his eye, it was the only thing not pink in the whole place. Sasuke waked over to the object to a get a better look at it, it was a small box with a small polished blue crystal shaped like a heart; the bright blue reminded him especially of Naruto own blue eyes. He picked the box up and went over to the counter to show it to the girl.
"What is this?" he asked her.
"Oh that's called 'The Heart of the Ocean', it's a beautiful piece with a few protective charms and another charm so that it changes brightness when the mood changes, and costs 60 galleons, Sir." He studied the crystal and smiled at the woman, making her swoon.
"I'll take it, could you gift wrap it?" He said and handed her the money, she nodded and took out her wand and with a swift motion, the box was wrapped in bright yellow glossy paper, and walked out of the store.
The girl watched him leave and gave a heavy sigh "Oh... it's always the pretty guys..." she said to herself.
OoOoOoOoOoO
Naruto was watching 7th year students brewing a potion in Snape's lab; it seemed awfully complicated and being around Sai was starting to irritate him. He was always sticking close to him; touching shoulders and making lewd comments every few seconds; mostly about the size of his lower regions, and comparing it with the size of other objects. It didn't help that the old Fox was laughing away inside his head at every one of Sai passing remarks.
"Alright students, I hope that the 'De-aging' potion has turned out alright, fill up a vial and label it, then put them on the table. We shall test them on these mice." He said pointing at a cage filled with mice. "If the potion works the mice will de-age and if it doesn't house points will be taken away, and you will be serving detention with me."
The students started filling up the vials with the purple liquid and putting their initials on them. Snape picked up the first vial and took out a mouse out of the cage; he used a pipette and took out a few drops and emptied the liquid on to the struggling rodent. The mouse stopped struggling and gave a small 'eep' before a small cloud of smoke erupted and the mouse started to shrink and lose its fur. In a blink of an eye the full grown mouse was only a small pink fleshy creature, and after a few seconds the little mouse started growing again and was like it was before.
Snape gave a grunt of satisfaction and put the mouse in another cage; this process continued for a while and after each mouse was tested with a different vial, he wrote down a note on paper, while the other students just sat and watched. Sai got bored after a while and started to walk out of the room silently while Naruto stayed, still entranced with what was happening.
Sai closed the door slowly behind him and noticed Sasuke walking down the corridor; he gave a bright smile and greeted the other teen.
"Ohayo Sasuke-kun, I see you've been out and about, I hope nothing to do with what I said." He smiled mischievously at him making Sasuke scowl.
"Where is Naruto, Sai?" he asked.
"I think I last saw him in the dorms, he was pretty tired..." he paused and him smile widened making Sasuke arch his eyebrow.
"What did you do Sai?"
"Oh, only a little 'spar' Sasuke-k-u-n."
Sasuke growled took out a shuriken and threw it at him, Sai side-stepped it fluently. Sasuke aimed punches and kicks all of which Sai managed to avoid carefully. Harry stood far back and watched the two fight; it was like a dance, Sasuke advanced while Sai moved away from all of them, his footing matching Sasuke's every move.
"Your anger is clouding your movements Sasuke; you are so easy to read." Sai blocked a punch and aimed a hard kick into Sasuke chest, sending the other teen flying through the door.
There was a loud crashing sound coming from inside the room, and shrieking from the other students, purple smoke exuded from the room, and the wailing of a child could be heard.
"Sasuke?" Naruto asked, it had all happened very quickly. One moment he was hanging upside down from the ceiling, the next thing that happened was that the door broke apart and Sasuke came through it. He collided with cauldrons tipping over the potions all over himself; and then there was nothing but smoke.
"Sasuke?" he called out again, but only got a child's wailing for a reply.
The smoke started to clear slowly and Naruto pushed passed the scurrying students; he found a rumple of clothes on the ground, and gasped. They were Sasuke's clothes! The wailing continued and Naruto moved the clothes away, and gasped again at what he saw.
OoOoOoOoOoO
Yikes! An evil cliffy!
But heck, this chapter is toO long and my fingers hurt from typing...
Look forwards in the next chapter for:
