Warning: Yaoi, swearing, and bad humour...
Hello, and I'm back again, this time with a much longer chapter, that will answer a lot of question that you dear readers had, like 'when are we finally going to read some action?', and 'what happened to the necklace?'. Although I will admit that this chapter was a bit rushed, I'm leaving for India on the 7th meaning I won't be able to update for about a month. I'm visiting family and getting some much needed laser-eye surgery (I love my laptop but it practically made me blinde)
Oh and I was surprised how many enjoyed the crack chapter, didn't really think it would do that well.
So thank you and Enjoy!

Chapter 24: Dance with me
'There is nothing better than intimidating a bunch of nervous kids!' thought Naruto as he hung upside down from the ceiling.
He was right though; all the students kept on watching nervously as they waited for their first lesson to start. It was way past curfew and most of them were worried about being found out, or maybe it was the sinister presence of the three guards that ruffled them. Naruto was sure that Harry hadn't told them that they would be supervised.
The meeting was held in the Room of Requirements; Naruto was astounded how the room always changed depending on the circumstances. Right now the room was empty except for a bunch of scattered cushions and a single cupboard near the front; the walls were also padded to add to safety. They would be put under a rigorous training and exercise, and beaten into submission-MUHAWHAWHAWHAW! –cough- sometimes he thought that Kyuubi was rubbing off on him.
Sure Naruto was having fun watching all the students squirm, but even he couldn't help but feel nervous with two reticent people as companions. They glared, scowled, and not to mention only talked to him in grunt language. Which was becoming tiresome to translate.
"Neh Sasuke, what do you think they'll learn about?"
"Hn..." was his reply. Naruto pouted and then turned to speak to Gaara.
"Do you think we'll learn some of those spells as well?"
"Mh..." was again the reply.
If Naruto was in his Kyuubi form he would have growled and snarled out in frustration (possibly also some maiming and killing), instead he resorted to pouting.
He should have asked Kiba to come along instead, at least then things would have been fun.
Just then Harry and his friends took the center stage attracting everyone's attention. The boy looked nervous; it was obvious that he didn't enjoy all the attention he was getting, but Hermione was quick to help him out. Her voice, unlike Harry's, was clear and strong, reassuring the other members of their safety, while giving them a breakdown of what would be learned.
"Is you-know -who really back?" one person asked.
Hermione went silent, and turned to look at Harry, who grimaced at the thought of the snake man's return. "Voldemort..." the students winced when they heard the name, but Harry paid them no mind and continued. "He has returned; the Ministry may be trying to hide it, but that attack on the school was no random coincidence."
"The reason that we are all here is to learn how to defend ourselves; if Umbridge is only willing enough to teach us theory how are we meant to do anything? I don't want anything like in that last raid to happen." His green eyes drifted momentarily towards Naruto before focusing on the group again.
But Sasuke wasn't listening anymore; he had seen the look that Harry shot Naruto, and seen he knew that he wouldn't let anything else happen to the blonde. He would protect him with his life.

The next day, the mood in the air was lighter; it seemed like the DADA lessons (or Dumbledore's Army as they nicknamed it) were slowly making people more confidant and reassured. Yet Naruto felt that something huge was going to happen. The headmaster had been all twinkles and smiles all the day (more so than usual). So whatever was going to be announced next would be fun!
At least Sasuke didn't seem too bothered; Naruto wouldn't be surprised that the Uchiha already knew what this was about, after all he was the one who went to the private meetings with Dumbledore, discussing reports and exchanging information. While Naruto found it all too tedious and boring, even when the Uchiha turned into a baby, Neji took on that role.
Breakfast was almost finished, so Naruto just waited in the corner enjoying his bacon and cheese pastry wrap. As always his relaxed posture only obscured how alert he was. Sasuke was the same; he would often see the older teen scanning the area with his sharingan before acting indifferent. Gaara and Neji were patrolling the rest of the building, while Kiba had taken a liking towards the Dark Forest. Naruto couldn't understand why he would.
Sai...well Sai was still around, stalking the place, popping up here and there like the ghosts do. Sakura just stayed in the infirmary, and Shikamaru either slept or played chess games with their guest (Sirius).
A light coughing sound attracted his attention, and he looked up to see that all the plates and leftover's had vanished. Everyone's attention was now on the Headmaster, who smiled merrily down at them.
"Now for an announcement," he started. "As you all know the 31st is moving ever closer, and with that our annual Hallow's eve celebration, which is limited to 5th years and above. Of course any lower years are allowed to attend through invitation!"
The students started murmuring to each other excitedly, but stopped when Dumbledore raised his hands. "So remember students, costumes must be worn; now off you go to lessons."
He clapped, and the whole room erupted in chatter. Naruto turned to look at his companion gleefully. "Does this mean a party?!" he asked, bouncing up and down on the spot.
Sasuke sighed; why did he feel like he was going to regret this? But that didn't stop him from hiding a smile.
~*~
Now Halloween, or Hallow's Eve as Dumbledore called it, wasn't something that was celebrated in Konoha. So none of the guard knew what to expect, but they sure as hell didn't expect any of this when they woke up that particular morning.
The halls were covered in cobwebs, bats came randomly flying at you from dark corners, when doors were opened a loud shrieking noise would startle them, and skeletons dancing through the halls (they almost attacked one of them thinking it was an intruder). Instead of the usual floating candles that lit up the great hall, they were replaced with glowing pumpkins with carved faces. Not to mention the ceiling, which usually reflected the weather outside, was now a permanent stormy gray.
"Wow..." Naruto gaped at the sight.
And that was the only word to describe it; even the food was themed, some seem to literally glow eerily, and this put the group off them. Yet everyone else didn't seem to mind the decor at all, but rather enjoyed them.
"Is Halloween just about scaring people?" Kiba asked, looking at a particularly large spider crawl up the wall.
"Halloween in traditional terms is actually a harvest festival, a celebration of nature, or at least that's what it means for the 'muggles'. For Wizards though it's more about a time that spirits are set free, the natural flow of magic is heightened, and they are meant to embrace it," Shikamaru said, staring quizzically at his 'glowing' toast. "It changes depending on the culture, but they all follow the same principle."
"How do you know all that?" Neji asked.
"Nothing else to do, so I read up on some of the books..."
"Hn..."
"So there aren't any lessons today?" Naruto asked.
"Nope, they all have been given the day off for celebration," Sakura responded.
"Just means more work for us; at least when the lessons were on we could keep track of the students," Neji grumbled.
"You know what I just realized..." Kiba said.
"What?" Naruto asked.
"Everything seems to be something else..." he said picking up an apple, but when he turned it around there was an old man's wrinkly face grinning toothily at them.
"Ew!"

As night fell, the party really started up. The great hall was emptied to form a large dance floor in the centre, with smaller tables around for people to sit at. The area where usually the staff sat was replaced with a stage, and the floor formed a real eerie setting with crawling fog. And included with the glowing pumpkins there were also fire-like streamers gliding across the sky. Even the layout of the hall changed; while it usually was three plain walls, now they had glass doors leading to a spooky garden.
The students were dressed in bizarre outfits: fairies, goblins, werewolves, vampires, and some things that they weren't even sure what they were. This is most likely what Dumbledore meant with costumes. All of them were dancing in the middle, with a band called the 'Weird Sisters' playing music.
"This is going to make it even more difficult to keep track of them..." Neji grumbled from the sidelines. He kicked another skeleton who came too close to him, asking him, 'Would you like to dance, young lady?' in a creepy voice.
"Hn..." replied Sasuke as he scanned the room for a familiar tuff of blonde hair.
His eyes widened when he spotted him, and he walked towards him. Naruto was just watching, wide-eyed and in wonder, when he saw the giant singing pumpkin.
"Naruto," he said, catching the blonde's attention.
"Sasuke! You gotta see this, this pumpkin actually sings! It's amazing!" he exclaimed excitedly.
"It is. Hey Naruto, can you come with me for a sec?"
"Er... yeah, sure."
Sasuke took his hand into his own and started leading him through the crowd; some of the students watched them, wondering where they were going. Yet the two guards ignored them and kept on going 'til they reached two patio doors, and walked out into the garden. It was quieter out here, only a light thumping sound of music coming out from the great hall.
"Sasuke?" he asked, suddenly feeling very nervous.
"I think this is the first time in a long time that we've been alone." Sasuke reached for the blonde's other hand and intertwined their fingers together.
Naruto shuddered, his breath coming out like a white shawl and dispersing into the air. Their bodies slowly moved closer, only stopping barely a centimetre away from each other, and they started moving in a gentle rhythm. Sasuke moved his hands around Naruto's waist, pressing the smaller body closer to his, while the blonde put his own arms loosely over his shoulders.
"I really did mean it when I said you looked pretty in a dress," Sasuke commented.
Naruto pouted. "Well, don't think I'll do that again, teme."
The raven chuckled and tightened his grip; he took a deep breath and smelled that distinctive scent that smelled just like Naruto, and oddly enough it wasn't of ramen, but a light hint of peaches instead.
"Hey, I have something for you."
Naruto looked up, surprised. "What is that?"
"Well..." Sasuke used one hand to reach inside his vest to take out a tissue-wrapped bundle. "This is actually a late birthday gift, but with all the things that happened..." he trailed off.
Sasuke undid the wrapping, and Naruto gasped when he saw the necklace; it was glimmering, a shiny blue like the reflection of the ocean. He was lost for words; he couldn't form a coherent sentence, but just stood there gaping at the jewel.
"Sasuke, but-"
"It's okay; turn around, let me put it on you." Naruto complied, still too stunned to really understand what was going on. He felt the weight of the necklace around his neck, but he was surprised when he felt how comfortingly warm it was.
Naruto blushed when Sasuke's hands lingered on his shoulders longer than necessary; he turned around so they were both in the same position as before. They kept on dancing slowly with each other, not breaking pace or even taking note of their surroundings but instead just enjoying the company in each other's arms.
"Should we go somewhere quieter?" Sasuke asked, whispering into the blonde's ear.
Naruto nodded and they reluctantly separated; still holding hands they jumped onto the walls, and by concentrating chakra onto their feet did they run towards their room. Luckily enough the window was open, and they stumbled into the lounge, locked in a fevered kiss.
The restrictive clothes were quickly removed without a care of where they landed; they tumbled over the chairs and tables 'til they reached Sasuke's room, still locked in a heated embrace. The kiss wasn't broken; lips and teeth crashed messily with inexperience, but that didn't matter. All that held any worth was the fact that they were finally together, finally alone.
Sasuke lifted the blonde onto the bed none too gently. There seemed to be no time for such things; it was like a form of desperation, like the need for air. That's how much he needed Naruto right now, and he didn't think he could wait for much longer.
He bit, nipped, and suckled the tanned expansion of skin, taking time to marvel how pale he was against him, and how the blonde had no tan marks. He smirked and continued with his ministrations, taking the hardening pink bud into his mouth, and he was delighted to receive a gasp as reward. Sasuke's hands moved with ease, undoing the belt buckle of Naruto's trousers, only to stop when he noticed how rigid he went.
"Are you okay?" he asked breathlessly.
"I-I... I've never done this before..." he replied nervously
Sasuke gave a small smile. "Neither have I, this is all so very new... do you want me to stop?" he asked, caressing the blonde's scarred cheek.
"I do... but let me do something for you first."
Now Sasuke didn't expect that. Naruto pushed him off him, and then straddled his waist. He could feel Naruto's erection grinding against his own; he grabbed the blonde's hips and pulled them closer, so that they were literally dry-humping each other.
Naruto undid Sasuke's trousers; freeing the straining erection underneath, he bit his bottom lip uncertainly and reached towards the heated organ and took hold of the tip gently. He heard Sasuke hiss as he slowly rubbed up and down, and then took it into his mouth. Sasuke almost sprang off the bed when he felt Naruto's wet mouth closing around his cock. He dug his nails into the bedding to stop himself from bucking up.
Oh, that tongue!
"Naruto-" Sasuke gasped out. "You have to stop..."
Naruto released the stiff cock, a thin string of saliva trailing down his mouth; kami, he didn't think he could take anymore. Sasuke pushed Naruto down and ripped his trousers off, and leaned towards the bedside table to take out a small bottle of lube. Sasuke generously doused his fingers, and lifted Naruto's hips up to get a better view of his pucker.
He entered one finger in, pulling it in and out before entering another; he stopped when Naruto squirmed, and then continued with a scissoring motion to loosen and widen the tight ring of muscles before taking them out. Sasuke then doused more of the lube onto his member, slicking the organ before positioning it near the opening. But he hesitated.
Sasuke looked at Naruto's face and noticed that he had his eyes tightly shut as if expecting pain; not that this wasn't going to be painful, but that shouldn't be what Naruto was thinking about. So he leaned over and captured the blonde's lips, claiming them as his own. This was a good enough distraction for him to quickly enter the blonde.
Naruto groaned in pain against him, his hands moving to hold on tightly to Sasuke who waited for him to adjust to the intrusion. All through he whispered sweet nothings into his ear and kissed him, then only moved when Naruto pushed against him first. It was difficult for Sasuke to hold back; the tightness was unbearably good, and their inexperience made it even worse. He wanted nothing better than to release himself, but held back.
He took hold of Naruto's own member with his free hand and started pumping; soon they were both grunting and moaning while beating up a steady rhythm.
"Can't take it anymore," Sasuke moaned out.
Naruto dug his fingernails into Sasuke's back; he was close as well, the pressure welling inside of him, and with his strokes Sasuke kept on relighting the fire in his belly. With a few more thrusts he came with a loud moan, and then he felt something hot filling him up.
They didn't speak, or rather they couldn't; instead they kept on kissing before they fell into blissful oblivion.
