Steve: And here we are with the next chapter!

Yui: This is the last one of this update, right?

Steve: Yup! Four chapters! Man, thank god for all that free time I've been getting. It's allowed me to move faster then I thought that I would. I thought that I would only be in the chunin exam at this point, but here I am: in the Tsunade retrieval arc!

Hinata: It is quite a good speed you're setting Steve-san… but I can't help but think that your rushing through it all.

Steve: Well, that's because I am Hinata. I have no idea how much more time that my free time at work will last for so I want to get as much out now as I can, rather then waiting for later.

Hinata: Oh! That makes sense.

Pen-pen: A waark… (I guess…)

Steve: Anyways, time for the disclaimer!

Pen-Pen: (Wark Wa WAAK arrk waark)

Hinata: Translation is "The author doesn't own Harry Potter or Naruto". He just owns this story, the plot and his insane plot-bunnies.

Taking a break from the training for the second stage of the Rasengan, the gang comes upon a small town with a festival going on. Looking at the town, Jeraiya rubs his hands together before turning to the rest. "Okay guys, I've got to go into town to… gather some info on Tsunade. Now, before I go I have to tell you the three weaknesses of ninja: Money, Drink, and Women. Unfortunately, in order to make sure that you don't fall for these I'm going have to ask that you hand over any money so that your not tempted." He's just met by raised eyebrows for several moments. As the minutes past with no one moving, the large sweatdrop on the back of Jeraiya's head grows larger and larger. Finally Naruto speaks breaking the silence.

"Sorry Ero-Sennin, but I need any money I have so that I can take my super-sexy girlfriend on a date." Jeraiya nearly face faults only to do so with Harry's next words.

"And I have to take MY three super-sexy girlfriends on a date." Picking himself up, Jeraiya mumbles to himself as he stalks off. Shaking his head at their temporary sensei's antics, Harry chuckles as he looks at his suddenly blushing and shy looking familiars. "What?" Hedwig looks away before glancing at him.

"Did… did you mean that Harry?" Seeing him blink in confusion, a small smile tugs at her lips. "That we're super-sexy?" Raising an eyebrow, Harry shrugs.

"Well, yeah. You three ARE super-sexy. Why?" This time it's Row that answers after sharing a glance with her "Sisters" who also smile.

"It's nothing Harry, just give us a second, ok?" He nods as the three close their eyes and their animal features shimmer and vanish making him go into shock and ask what just happened making them giggle. "It's something we discovered by accident actually. Turns out that we can hide our non-human features. Now we won't have to deal with people staring at us." Harry just looks at them for a few moments before a slightly saddened look comes over his face.

"You guys don't have to hide who you are for me… I really don't care what others think!" Hedwig chuckles as Sal hangs her arm over Row's shoulder and grins.

"We're not hiding because we think that you do care Harry, we're hiding because we want today to be perfect for all of us. And how would it be perfect if everyone was staring at us because of our non-human features? It wouldn't be. Now come on, let's go!" Sal finishes off by excitedly pointing at the festival with her finger making the others chuckle at her excitement. Waving at Naruto, Harry and the three familiars start off towards to the festival. Naruto's about to follow when he sees Kyubi looking at him with an eyebrow lifted amusingly.

"Er… What? Did I say something Kyu… I mean Amakirr-chan?" Kyubi just chuckles, though a small blush appears like always as Naruto calls her by her true name. "What?" Kyubi just smiles as she reaches down and cups his cheek.

"So am I super-sexy like you said Naruto-kun? I know that I'm somewhat beautiful… but super-sexy?" Naruto slowly nods with a gulp.

"We… well, yeah Amakirr-chan. To me, you're very super-sexy." Kyubi nods slightly with a misty look in her eyes.

"Thank you Naruto-kunfor the compliment." She watches as he relaxes some making her internally smirk. "As far as I'm concerned your opinion is the only one that matters to me." She the leans down and kisses him, after a few moments, she feels his tongue flicker against her lips to which she rapidly opens her mouth allowing him in. After a few minutes they break apart breathlessly. Looking at her boyfriend, a gentle look comes over Kyubi's face. 'I'm almost there Naruto-kun… thanks to you letting me choose… soon I'll be able to cross that line with you…' Shaking her head, she blushes as Naruto's fingers intertwine with her own. "I think we have a festival to go to… wait a moment." Closing her eyes, her clothing changes to a simple blue sundress (which still hugs her curves) with a yellow ribbon holding back her long hair in a loose pony tail. "There! Now I'm ready!" She giggles some at the stunned look on Naruto's face before he shakes his head and chuckles as the two walk into the village. As their walking, Naruto smiles up at Kyubi with a loving look.

'I'm so lucky to have Kyubi-chan for a girlfriend…' Feeling something in his pocket, his smile grows. 'And soon something more…' Shaking his thoughts free, he spots a stand nearby with several games which he points out. "Hey Amakirr-chan, want to check out those games?" Seeing where he's pointing, she smiles and nods.

"Sure! It's been a while since I've played any of those." Several minutes later, Kyubi leaves with a large stuffed bear that makes a squealing noise when she hugs it. Looking at it, she leans down and gives Naruto a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for winning this for me Naruto-kun… I love it." They see Harry and the three familiars several more times when their stomachs growl and they grab some stuff to eat…

000000000000 Several hours later 000000000000000

Several hours later, Naruto's grumbling about how Jeraiya is taking all the hot water when Harry smiles at him. "Go ahead and use my trunk nii-san. The shower is full of hot water so you won't have to worry about it." Naruto looks at him and nods.

"Thanks nii-san! Now I don't have to wait!" Grabbing his stuff, Naruto heads into the trunk. A few moments later, Kyubilooks up from her bookand follows. Seeing this, Harry just smiles and shakes his head in amusement. Meanwhile in the trunk, Kyubi starts sneaking towards where the bathroom is. Hearing the shower on, Kyubi bites her lip as she sneaks into the steam filled room.

'It's okay Kyubi… it's only Naruto-kun… Besides, it's not as if he hasn't seen you naked before…' Taking a deep, calming breath, Kyubi takes off all her clothing and walks to the curtains and steps in. Hearing something, Naruto whips around to see Kyubi. Blinking in shock, his eyes trail down her body. Gulping, he looks up at Kyubi's nervous face. Seeing how her current state of undress is effecting him, Kyubi feels a coldness settle in her gut as she catches sight of his arousal. 'N… NO! I WILL NOT LET HIM WIN! NOT THIS TIME!' A moment later, she smiles with a sigh as she's once again defeated yet another barrier between her and Naruto before she walks over to him, allowing him to see her entire body naked in front of him for the first time since they first met. Naruto, on the other hand, can't help but feel like his entire mouth is dry.

"Ky… Kyubi-chan? Wha… what are you doing in here?" Kyubi just smiles as she walks closer until the spray from the shower starts to hit her as a note of amusement enters her voice.

"I'm taking a shower, what else?" Seeing the slightly scared and nervous expression on Naruto's face, her face takes on a gentle expression. "I want this Naruto-kun. I want you to… see me. By forcing myself like this… I found that if anything, I've become far more comfortable with you then I was before. Please…" She walks closer and bends down to drape her arms over him. "Let me do this…" Naruto just looks at her and, upon seeing the pleading look in her eyes, smiles and nods. "Thank you." She gives him a short, yet intense, kiss before standing up. Naruto's eyes follow this movement as his eyes start at her head before trailing downwards, Kyubi saying nothing as he does so despite the blush on her face. Naruto takes in her warm ruby-like eyes and pert nose as his eyes trail past her pink lips and down her slim neck. He licks his lips as he sees her large, firm breasts before trailing down her firm and flat stomach. He stops at the juncture of her legs as he sees the trimmed red bush there and gulps before he continues his examination by looking at her long, toned legs. Finally he finishes at her dainty feet and her clawed toes.

'Kami… I don't care what she says… she's a Goddess…' Smiling a little despite the heavy blush on her face, Kyubi does a little twirl allowing Naruto to take in every bit of her strong, defined musculature that highlights every single curve of her body. Finished, she takes a few moments to examine the person who has captured her heart. His thick blond hair which has been plastered to his skull by the shower and his bright, lively blue eyes as well as his cute (to her) whisker marks before moving downward. She frowns for a split second seeing the seal on his stomach.

'The only thing keeping us apart… as well as that which brought us together…' Shaking her head, her eyes trail lower and they widen as she sees exactly how she effects him. 'Oh… oh my!' Finally completing her inspection, she walks over and pulls Naruto into an embrace, Naruto doesn't notice the tears making their way down her cheeks as he returns it. "I love you Naruto-kun… more then I have anything else…" Reaching down with a fingertip, she brings him into a soul searing kiss which Naruto returns wholeheartedly. He grins slightly as she presses his back up against the shower wall. His eyes widen some though as she straightens up, her tails under him in order to support him as she brings him up with her in order to keep the kiss going before he relaxes into the kiss. Feeling her tongue flicker against his lips in a wanting manner, he opens them so that he can allow her to explore his mouth like he's doing to her's. Finally, they pull away from the kiss, both their lips bruised and red. Naruto stares at Kyubi, the shower falling on the two of them as she looks at him with eyes glowing in love and not a little lust.

"Kyubi-chan…" Reaching behind her head, he pulls her into another kiss as he runs his hands up and down her body, making her shiver at his caresses. Pulling away once more, he looks at her in a considering fashion. "Kyubi-chan… do you trust me?" She looks a bit taken aback by the question, but nods. "Please… put me down so that I can try something." Still slightly confused, Kyubi lets him down and watches as he turns off the shower. Walking back over, he looks at her breasts before reaching up with a hand and gently stroking one of her two mounds making her gasp. That gasp becomes a moan as Naruto licks the nipple on the other before taking it into his mouth and lightly sucking on it sending electric pulses of pleasure shooting through her body.

"Na NARUTO-KUN!" Unable to stop herself, Kyubi reaches up and grasps the back of Naruto's head and presses him into the soft, pillowy flesh as he continues to suckle much like a hungry baby. Feeling her knees weakening , she groans as Naruto switches breasts before she lowers herself to the shower floor as Naruto uses the new position to increase the pressure on her breast. Saliva starts to trickle from Kyubi's open mouth as she continues moaning due to her boyfriend's attentions. She whimpers a little as Naruto pulls away with a grin.

"Trust me Kyubi-chan… Things are about to get MUCH better." Unable to reply though her pants, Kyubi just nods as Naruto gives each mound a kiss before kissing his way down her stomach. Stopping for a moment, he swirls his tongue around, and then into her belly button making her withe under him before he continues his journey. Coming to his destination, Kyubi's eyes widen in confusion as she feels his hot breath in her most intimate of places.

'Wha… what is he doing!?' Reaching down, she places her hand on his head to try and pull him away, only for Naruto to react in exactly the opposite way she wanted… though that idea rapidly vanishes as she kicks in reflex as Naruto's tongue finds it's target. "Oh! OH!" Soon Kyubi's world shrinks to the feel of Naruto's tongue entering her slit. Her breath is also taken away as Naruto gives short licks at her clit making her jerk before returning to her insides. Naruto on the other hand is also enjoying the experience, Mainly the sounds of Kyubi's pleasure though he also enjoyed the taste. Finally, an idea comes to his mind making him grin.

'Hmm… I wonder…' Channelling a little magic and chakra to his tongue, the results are immediately shown as Kyubi's back arches as she screams Naruto's name and climaxes. A few minutes later, Kyubi finally returns to full consciousness to find herself held in Naruto's embrace. Naruto just watches as her chest continues heaves with every breath. Looking at him, Kyubi gives him a short kiss before laying her head on his shoulder still slightly dazed.

"Th… (Huff!) That was simply (Huff! Huff!) amazing Naruto-kun…." Feeling something poking into her, she smirks as she reaches down while giving Naruto another grin before she grabs him and starts to stroke him making hiss and groan until he too reaches his limit. Watching as he calms down a little, a mischievous glint makes her eyes light up as she nibbles a little on Naruto's ear lobe making him groan again. "I think we're needing that shower now, don't you Naruto?" A little while later, Kyubi is drying off with a towel as she watches Naruto getting dressed in front of her with a curious look. "Naruto-kun, can I ask you something?" Getting a nod to continues, she throws the towel into a nearby bin. "How did you know to do that thing you did back there?" Blinking at the oddity of the question, Naruto looks at her.

"What? What are you talking about?" Kyubi just looks at him as she summons her nightdress and puts it on.

"That… thing you did with your tongue…" Naruto raises an eyebrow.

"Why?" Kyubi starts heavily brushing.

"I… I just never knew that a person could do that…" Seeing the disbelieving look, she looks away now totally red. "I was just wondering because…" She chews her lips a little before sighing. "All this is so new to me Naruto-kun. To be frank… You are the first boyfriend I've ever had." Naruto's surprised at this.

"I'm… your first? That can't be Kyubi-chan! I mean, you're so beautiful you had to have had a boyfriend before me!" Kyubi just shakes her head.

"Actually, you're my first." She chuckles a little as she shakes her head in disbelief. "In my entire more then ten thousand year existence, I've only ever had one boyfriend and that is you Naruto-kun." Doing her hair up in a pony tail, she turns to regard Naruto. "And… Inari this is embarrassing, but I've never really had a sexual education since it was thought that it was better to discover that for yourself back in Atlantis when I was still human. Sure I know some things… but sometimes it seems like you know so much more. So where did you find that out?" Now it's Naruto's turn to turn red.

"I… Heard several Kunoichi talking about it before I met you… And I even stumbled across… um, two kunoichi and…. Er…" Kyubi also goes red and holds up her hand.

"I… I think I guess." She looks at him before placing her hands on her shapely hips with a twinkle in her eyes before she gives him a kiss on the cheek as the two head back out. "Anyways, we should get going…"

0000000000 Two weeks later 000000000000000000

Naruto's finished the stage two training while Harry is still working on it. Entering a town, they hear rumours of the Castle in town being destroyed by a giant serpent and a super strong woman. Hearing this, the group's eyes turn to Sal who glares at them. "It wasn't me you fucking pricks." Turning around, she starts grumbling. "Every fucking time a giant snake destroys something, who do they turn to? Me. I mean, it was ONLY one fucking time! ONCE!" Ignoring her, Jeraiya shrugs.

"Sounds like Orochimaru was here. Tsunade as well if the rumours of the 'super-strong woman' are true." Harry nods before scowling.

"Most likely that teme is going to try and get her to heal his fucking arms. Not that it would work with arms sealed by the Shiki Fuin. But he probably doesn't know that… Neither might she come to think of it." Jeraiya nods as the group heads into town, meanwhile Sal is still standing there except now she's shouting and stomping her feet.

"I mean kuso! That bastard felt me up! So went Godzilla on his ass, can you really blame me?" Turning back, she notices them in the distance walking away. "I… don't believe this… those fucking temes LEFT WITHOUT ME!" Noticing that they're still walking away, she runs after them, waving her arms. "HEY! WAIT FOR ME YOU ASSHOLES!" About three hours later, they're heading into a bar when Jeraiya stops. Naruto bumps into him and hits him in the back of the head.

"What the hell Ero-Sennin! What's with stopping out of nowhere!" Ignoring him, Jeraiya walks towards a table where a blond pig-tailed woman, a black haired woman and a pig with a pink scarf are sitting. Not even giving the woman to speak, Jeraiya sits down and pours himself a bowl of sake.

"Hello Tsunade-hime. What's going on? We've been looking for you." Tsunade looks at him while taking a sip of sake before putting it down and snorting.

"My, today is a day for reunions… isn't it? First Orochimaru with news of how sensei is dead and now you with your… companions." She looks at Naruto, Kyubi (disguised as a normal woman), the familiars, and Harry. She snorts again. "Somehow I'm not too surprised that you're traveling with a bunch of women. Though I don't know about the boys…" To her surprise, Jeraiya actually growls at her.

"Lay off Tsunade-hime the blond is my new apprentice and the black haired one is someone I teaching part time." Taking a sip himself, he considers her. "Sensei isn't dead you know hime. He managed to survive no thanks to Orochimaru. But that isn't what I'm here for." Sighing, he lays down the now empty saucer. "I came to ask you to become Godaime." Knowing what to expect, neither Harry or Naruto react. Shizune starts chocking on a bit of food she was eating and Kyubi smacks her on the back. Looking up at her thankfully, Shizune turns to Tsunade awaiting her answer.. When she gets it, she shakes her head.

"I… Refuse." Jeraiya just sighs and shakes his head.

'Just as I thought…' He's about to say something when Naruto interrupts him.

"NANI! HOW THE HELL CAN YOU REFUSE!" Calming down some, he looks at her in disbelief. "How can you refuse when Ero-Sennin just asked for you to become Hokage?!" Tsunade just shakes her head.

"This is your new apprentice?" When Jeraiya nods, she snorts in derision. "He looks like even more of a baka then your last one." Naruto's about to leap at her when Jeraiya slams him back down.

"Yeah, well… very few people out there could possibly compare to the Yondaime. Besides, this is Naruto, his legacy." Seeing her glance at him and then ignore him, Naruto finds himself getting pissed off as is Harry. Her next words, though, absolutely enrages Naruto.

"As to why I don't want to be Hokage? Simple: It's a shit job. Anyone who becomes a Hokage is a baka and is fated to die." Naruto nearly leaps across.

"YOU FUCKING OLD HAG! I'LL KILL YOU!" At the mention of her age, Tsunade bangs her fist on the table and sticks her face right in Naruto's as Shizune tries to hold her back. She narrows her eyes and growls as Naruto doesn't back down.

"What was that gaki? I don't think I heard you correctly. Sounded like you were saying that you have a death wish." Now Jeraiya's trying to hold back Naruto as Naruto answers making him groan.

"YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID YOU OLD BITCH! WHAT?! YOU GOT FUCKING WAX IN YOUR EARS OR ARE YOU GOING FUCKING SENILE AS WELL?! NO ONE FUCKING INSULTS OJII-SAN OR THE OTHER HOKAGE IN MY PRESENCE AND GETS AWAY WITH IT! ESPECIALLY NOT A OLD DRIED UP PIECE OF DRUNKEN CRAP!" Smashing her fist down and through the table, Tsunade points out the door.

"THAT'S IT! TIME TO FUCKING PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR FUCKING BIG MOUTH IS! LET'S TAKE THIS OUTSIDE RIGHT FUCKING NOW YOU LITTLE SHITHEAD!" Shizune groans as both pissed blonds head outside.

"Tsunade-sama…" Feeling a hand on her shoulder, she notices Jeraiya shaking his head.

"Don't Shizune. What she just did is unforgivable in Naruto's eyes… Harry's eyes as well." Her head whips around and considers Harry for the first time and her eyes widen seeing the green eyes and messy black hair. "To those two, the Sandaime is like a Ojii-san. To have him insulted in their presence would be bad enough, but she had to insult the others as well and that will royally piss those two off to no end." They head outside to see Tsunade raising her index finger.

"One finger. That's all I need to beat the shit out of you gaki." Naruto just rushes at her, only for her to appear in front of him and send him flying with a finger flick to his forehead. "You'll need to do better then that to beat me gaki." Naruto just growls as he disappears and reappears behind her. Sensing him, she turns just in time for Naruto's kick to connect with her face. This wouldn't have phased her normally, but Naruto used the magical strength enhancement which sent her flying. Shaking herself, Tsunade gets up in time to dodge a sword strike that came out of no where. 'What the hell?! Where did he get that sword!?' Dodging another, she starts getting angrier as Naruto keeps disappearing and reappearing behind her. All the while he's taunting her.

"Don't tell me that's all you got you old hag? HA! And your one of the Sannin? What a joke! You can't hit a broadside of a barn!" Naruto dodges another punch as Tsunade tells him to stay still. "What? So that you OLD eyes can see me? Like hell you old hag! No wonder no man except for Ero-Sennin wants you!" At that point Tsunade stops as she sees red. On the sidelines Jeraiya and Shizune both pale as the female apprentice turns to Jeraiya.

"You did tell him about Tsunade-sama's history… right?" She pales even more as Jeraiya jerkily shakes his head. Tsunade however just snarls as she makes a fist.

'That… THAT FUCKING LITTLE SHIT IS FUCKING DEAD!' To Naruto, she vanishes and reappears in front of him with a glowing fist giving him time to say a single word.

"Shit!" The fist impacts him in the chest sending him flying through first a cart and then through a concrete wall. After a few moments, Tsunade's face becomes pale and panicked as she realizes what she just did: hit a teen with a full powered fist.

'Oh Kami! Oh Kami! Oh Kami!' Looking at the group on the sidelines she notices Shizune looking at her with horror as if she was some kind of monster which cuts her deeply. But it's Jeraiya's expression that catches her off guard since he looks absolutely enraged. 'Oh… shit… I've never seen Jeraiya this pissed…' Any farther thought is cut off by a shout from the hole Naruto just went through.

"BITCH! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! SHUKUCHI MUKYO!" A blast of dust erupts from the hole as red glowing Naruto suddenly appears in front of Tsunade before HIS punch sends her flying and skipping across the road. Getting back up, she realizes that Naruto: A: no longer has that red aura around him. And B: Has a familiar attack in his hand. "RASENGAN!" Hurriedly, she slams her foot down creating a large crack that causes Naruto to stumble and slam the unfinished Rasengan down into the road. But he gets a last hit in as he uses the momentum built up by the Rasengan dispelling to slam Tsunade in the face with a spinning kick sending her once again flying. Getting up, she watches as Naruto coughs up a little bit of blood making her flinch as well as fill with guilt. He's about to attack again when the red haired girl grabs his shoulder.

"That's enough Naruto-kun… that's enough." When the girl looks up at her, Tsunade suppresses a shiver at anger in the gaze. Shaking it off, Tsunade looks at Jeraiya.

"Oy! Pervert! What's the big idea with teaching the gaki the Rasengan? It's not like he'll ever actually learn it." Naruto snarls and looks at her.

"Like hell! I will learn it." Tsunade snorts and looks at him.

"Doubt it gaki. By the way, why do you defend the Hokages so much? Not like other people don't insult them." Naruto just glares at her with confidence.

"Because one day I will be Hokage! The greatest of them all! That is my goal and dream." Tsunadesteps back as she sees her brother's and lover's images superimposed over Naruto's. Shaking it off, she looks back at him with a derisive expression.

"You? Be Hokage? HA! Don't make me laugh gaki!" After Naruto makes another comment, she narrows her eyes and raises a finger. "One week." Seeing Naruto blink in confusion, she gives him a superior smirk. "If you manage to learn the Rasengan in one week, then I will not only become Hokage but will acknowledge that you havewhat it takes… As well as give you this necklace." She points at the green jewel around her neck making him snort.

"Why'd the hell would I want that worthless thing?" Jeraiya's comment of it being enough to buy three mountains with causes his eyebrow to rise. "Really now? Well then, you got yourself a deal Baa-chan." Smirking at the pissed look on her face, Naruto walks off to get ready. Seeing the exchange, Harry shakes his head.

'Man… leave it up to nii-san…' He watches as Shizune walks up to Tsunade and starts berating her for what happened. He's about to comment on it when he senses a bit of KI focused on him and leaps out of the way as a massive blade slams down where he just was. Rolling, he watches as a thirteen year old girl with a mask made of bandages walks out of the dust cloud. Taking in her bushy hair and brown eyes (which are glowing with anger) he can't help but feel she looks familiar. "Um… Hi?" The girl just glares at Harry.

"You bastard. I've been wanting to beat the crap out of you for years now." Harry just blinks at this in confusion.

"Um… Ok… So, who are you again?" The girl hangs her head and starts trembling as her fists clinch making Harry sweat. "Er… I DO know you… right?" The girl nods as the trembling increases. "Um… Maybe if you give me something to remind me…" The girl stops trembling and looks at him.

"IT'S ME YOU BAKA! HERMIONE! YOU KNOW: YOUR BLOODY BEST FRIEND! THE BOOKWORM OF HOGWARTS! THE SMARTEST WITCH OF HER GENERATION!" Harry blinks and then smiles.

"Hermione?" The girl nods as Harry laughs happily. "It's great to see you! I didn't recognize you there. You've changed!" Hermione nods as she looks him over with a nod.

"So have you Harry… Oh, and by the way?" Harry nods for her to continue. "I'm going to kill you since I know that me being here is all your fault." Harry sweatdrops and is about to say something when she charges him, ready to cleave him in half with her zambatou. Ducking under it, Harry takes off running. "GET BACK HERE POTTER AND FACE YOUR PUNISHMENT LIKE A MAN!" Harry just looks back at her.

"ARE YOU NUTS! I DON'T HAVE A DEATH WISH HERMIONE!" Ducking under another swipe, he looks back at her. "THAT NEARLY HIT ME!" Hermione just growls before trying to hit him again.

"THAT WAS THE POINT POTTER! NOW STAND STILL SO THAT I CAN SHOW YOU HOW DISPLEASED I AM!" Harry just continues running while dodging swipes of Hermione's sword. Watching as the two dust clouds vanish, Row turns to the other two.

"Um… this might sound stupid, but shouldn't we help him? He IS our boyfriend after all…" Hedwig and Sal just look at each other with a raised eyebrow before shrugging and saying the same thing.

"Eh, he can take care of himself." Hearing a yelp, they blink. "We hope." Reaching the wooded out skirts of town, Hermione looks around for where Harry's gone to only for someone to drop down behind her and disarm her with a flick of their finger. Seeing the blade get half-way imbedded in a tree, Hermione turns back to Harry.

"Damnit Harry! What the hell do you think you doing!?" Harry just stares at her impassivly. "Stop looking at me like that!" Harry's next words make her back up.

"Okay Hermione, now that we're away from the others, what's the fucking problem?! You attacked me from out of nowhere! I would have expected that from Ron, but not from you. Now… What is your bloody malfunction?" Hermione snarls at him.

"Problem? WHAT'S THE FUCKING PROBLEM! I'll tell you what the problem is Harry. Look at it from my point of view: Here I am sleeping in my bed when I suddenly fall out of the sky and land on the hard ground in my bloody six year old body! Thankfully, I met up with Tsunade-sensei otherwise I might not be here! AND WORST OF ALL I KNOW YOU WERE HERE AND YOU NEVER EVEN BLOODY LOOKED FOR ME!" Harry just narrows his eyes at her before responding coolly.

"I didn't even know who you were until a little under two months ago Hermione. I had all my memories sealed and exactly how could I know that you were even here? I couldn't." Hermione just explodes at him.

"THAT'S BULLSHIT POTTER!" Looking at him through tears, she snarls. "I don't bloody believe this Harry James Evans Potter! If you don't trust me enough to tell me the truth then say so! Don't come out with a-" She gets cut off as Harry hangs his head and speaks in a cold tone.

"Trust… I don't trust you?" His head snaps up revealing his emerald eyes glowing. "It's YOU who doesn't trust ME fully Hermione! You've proven that numerous times!" Hermione's so shocked at his tone that she takes a step back.

"Wha… what?! Bu… But I DO trust you Harr-" Harry once again cuts her off, this time with a mirthless laugh.

"YOU? TRUST ME?! HA! THAT'S A FUCKING LAUGH HERMIONE." He then takes another step towards her making her step back once again. "Let me give several examples, shall I? Third year: When I got my Firebolt, YOU didn't trust me enough to tell me your theory before you went to Professor McGonagall behind MY back and had it taken away. If you had told me before you did then I would have understood, but no. You had to go and do it without me having any knowledge. That was why I was so mad at you then. Let's fast forward shall we? To the summer before fifth year." He's about to say more when Hermione interrupts him with a tear making it's way down her cheek.

"Harry I told you that we were ordered not to say anything to you! The Headmaster-" Harry just snarls at her, his eyes flashing crimson.

"Yeah, he did! But I remember him saying at the year end feast for fourth year that we should do what is right, not what was easy. What was right was staying in contact so that I would KNOW that you were okay! You didn't even have to say anything! But no! Dumbledore was the authority so you listened! And what about the DA, huh?! You threw me into that situation because YOU wanted to learn! YOU got all those students together by using MY name to force me to do it! Knowing, as you do, that I would have no choice but to go along with it." Shaking her head as she throws a punch at him, only for him to catch it. "The truth hurts, doesn't it? Ever since my present self merged with my past self I have been reviewing my memories… Critically. And now I have to ask myself if you ever trusted me? Or if the next time an authority figure told you to do something involving me you would do it, no questions asked?" Now sobbing as each word hits her, Hermione looks at him pleadingly.

"I… I wouldn't! You know that I wouldn't!" Seeing the her state, Harry sighs while shaking his head, his anger now gone and replaced with sadness.

"I wish that I could believe you Hermione… I really do. But even you have to admit that facts speak for themselves. Who do you always turn to even though they've shown time and again that their not willing to listen? The teachers. When Umbridge had me in all those detentions, what did you say to me…? Ah, yes! To stop provoking her I believe. Let me ask you something Hermione, if someone… say Dumbledore, told you that I had to die to kill Voldemort, would you kill me?" Hermione looks at Harry horrified at his suggestion and is about to say something when Harry continues. "Because I'm pretty sure that he knew that had to come to pass." Hermione's hands fly to her mouth as she whispers his name. "Before you say anything, know that I had a Horcrux in me until recently. And in order to kill Voldemort, ALL his Horcruxes had to be destroyed." Hermione just shakes her head in denial.

"Harry… I… I didn't know… I wouldn't…" Harry just gives off another mirthless chuckle as he shakes his head.

"I know you didn't… I'm pretty sure youi wouldn't, but there's this little nagging voice asking how I can be sure? Sure, you've always stood beside me Hermione and have never betrayed me like Ron has and for THAT I'll always be thankful to you. But… but how can I be sure that you fully trust me?" Still shaking his head, Harry turns away from her as Hermione chews her lip in indecision. Then, seeing Harry walking away, she grabs her wand as she reaches a decision. Her next words cause Harry to stop and whirl around in shock.

"I, Hermione Jane Granger, hereby swear on my magic that I fully trust Harry James Potter with my heart, my magic and my very soul. So mote it be!" Harry just stares in shock as she glows for a few seconds before it goes away with a snap. Still holding her wand, she points it at a nearby log. "Reducto!" A shimmering ball shoots from her wand before hitting the log, causing it explode into splinters. Still looking at Harry, she snorts with her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "See Harry? I DO trust you. I trust you with my life. I trust you with all my heart and soul and it hurts to hear you of all people suggest what you just did." Shaking her head, she chuckles ruefully. "But... Now that I can look back, it DOES look like I don't fully trust you… doesn't it? But I do Harry… I really do! I… I only did those things because I cared and thought I was doing you a favour… Some friend I turned out to be…" She looks at Harry only to see a smouldering anger in his eyes.

"That… was a very stupid thing to do Hermione. I honestly can not believe you just did that! Do you know that if you had even the slightest bit of distrust towards me that you would have lost all you magic!" Hermione just snorts, all her anger at him having vanished a while back.

"Of course I do Harry, 'Smartest witch of our generation' remember? But… I had to." Sitting down on a fallen tree, she looks up and chuckles some while shaking her head. "This is definitely not turning out the way I planned. I WAS supposed to beat you to an inch of your life before healing you and then all would be back to normal. But no... you just have to be the single most infuriating man I have ever met, don't you Harry. Hell! I no longer even feel angry with you… Well, maybe a little." The two share a chuckle at that as Harry sits down beside her. Sighing, she looks at him. "Ok, Harry. What the bloody hell is going on here?" Harry just looks at her with his eye twinkling in humour.

"My, my! Stop the presses! I have never thought that I would see the day that Hermione Jane Granger would swear!" She just blushes (which is hard to see with her mask) and huffs as she looks away.

"Yeah… well… I blame Tsunade-sensei for my language… kind of hard not to swear considering all the trouble she continually gets into that me and Shizune have to get her out of." She shrugs as she looks at him. "And you, Harry James Potter, haven't answered my question. Tell me everything." Harry gulps as she uses that tone, the one she uses when she's annoyed. Scratching his head, he looks away.

"Well… it's like this…" An hour later, a shocked Hermione falls off the log in surprise. Shaking her head, she looks at him.

"So let me get this straight… Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu, and the Shinigami, all of whom are related to you, sent you here to get trained and locked away your memories. You then met Naruto and through a set of highly unlikely circumstances actually gave him magic… Am I correct so far?" Harry nods as she reaches up and rubs the bridge of her nose. "Well… I guess this means that we won the betting pool at least. Anyways, back on track. Because of you having magic you are now under the CRA along with Naruto and each of you have several girlfriends already. In your case, three of them are your familiars which includes Hedwig by the way…" She sighs as she shakes her head and chuckles. "I don't believe this Harry… This could only happen to you. Oh well…" Raising herself back on the log, she looks at him mischievously. "Oh? And Harry?" He looks at her in confusion.

"Er… yeah Hermione?" Next thing he knows, he's flying at a tree which soon has his head embedded in it. Seeing this, she smirks.

"You still deserve a punch for everything…" Harry just groans in pain.

Steve: And there we go! The final chapter of this update!

Pen-pen: War ark… war ark wa arr. (Not bad… not bad at all.)

Yui: At least Hermione is now in it… About damn time too.

Pen-pen: Warr wa warrk rk. (Tell me about it.)

Steve: (Sighs) Why me… Anyways, I've decided to have a new poll.

Hinata: Really? What for this time Steve-san?

Steve: Well, some have asked me why Harry and Naruto keep referring to each other as big brother. As far as I knew, nii-san meant brother and Onii-san meant big brother. As well as them referring to their brother's significant others as nee-san. Here's the poll…

Poll: Should I keep having the two refer to each other as nii-san or change it to something like Harry-nii and Naruto-nii.

Yes: 0

No: 0

And should they stop referring to their brother's significant others as nee-san?

Yes: 0

No: 0

Steve: Well, that's it. Also, you can vote on the polls (each of them) once a chapter, not once a update. Well, see you next time!
