Sasuke and Naruko stood in front of the Hokage both fully clad in thier Anbu uniform with masks In place as Tsunade placed a tarnished black kettle upon the desk.

"From what I'm told this will transport you to a secure location where a man under this Dumbledore persons authority will meet you and escort you to thier base."

Naruko eyed the tiny teapot dubiously.

" And how exactly is this going to that?"

Sasuke smirked slightly at her from behind his mask.

" Magic Dobe."

" ...shut up Teme."

Tsuande sweatdropped at the two who started to glare at each other before clearing her throat abruptly.

" As amusing as this is , I believe its time. Each of you just place a finger on the kettle, it will do the rest."

Sasuke and Naruko gingerly placed the tips of thier gloved fingers upon the tarnished pot before feeling a strange tug on thier navels saw colors spin by them through their masks. This continued for about 20 seconds before they felt ground beneath their feet again.

"Uch... I think I'm going to be sick..." Naruko moaned, clinging to Sasuke's arm for support, but Sasuke was too busy scanning their new surrounding to notice his sick partner.

"Stay on your toes, Naruko, there are many people here and most of them are looking at us strangely..." Sasuke whispered to Naruko.The people in the bar were indeed watching the two closely...

"Are those two Death Eaters?"

"They can't be- they're masks are shaped as animals!"

"They look suspicious..."

Sasuke could hear the people's gossip clearly with his advanced hearing , but chose to ignore it for the time being,

"You okay dobe?" he asked gently, helping the blonde stay upright.

"Yeah, I'm fine, but..." she paused "Wizards sure have strange methods of traveling..."

Sasuke nodded, putting a hand on his navel, where he felt that strange tug earlier,"Indeed..." he said simply, watching one of people in the bar stand from their stool and walk over to the two shinobi.

His hair was brunette but gray streaks were starting to show. There was caution in his kind looking eyes as he stepped before them.

"Hello, I'm Remus Lupin..." the man said with a small nod.Sasuke thought for a moment before letting go of Naruko completely, "Who is your employer ?" he asked blankly

.Remus smiled, "The phoneix of course..."

Naruko nodded and handed the man a copy of thier mission scroll to confirm identity.

"I have a lot to inform you two on, we'll have to find somewhere more private though..."

Naruko had gained her balance and they followed after the man called Remus, "I've rented two rooms for the night, they're at the end of the hall..." he informed them while walking up the stairs.

They reached their rooms and Remus looked over to the ninja, "Dumbledore has informed me that you will probably refuse to take off your masks, I understand if you don't want to..."

The blonde looked over at Sasuke, silently asking if they should keep their masks on, "It will probably be very uncomfortable telling us this information while talking to masks, they remind you and the other wizards of... Death... Eaters?" Sasuke stated and Remus nodded, "I suppose we can trust you... but you have to be sure to never tell another living soul, or yours will have to be taken away..."

"I understand, not a word to anybody, I'll even put a silencing spell on the room so we cannot be over heard..." Remus took out his wand, gaining the interest of the shinobi, and uttered a spell. Sasuke added his own silencing jutsu for safety before reaching back to un-knot the cloth of the mask, Naruko was doing the same thing.

When they finally took the porcelain masks away from their faces, Naruko sighed in relief and they both turned back to Remus

.He had a look of surprise on his face, so Naruko said the words he was thinking, "You didn't think we'd be so young, right?"
She.smiled softly.

Remus nodded before getting over his shock and started telling them about their mission, "Being from where you are from, you probably have not heard of Voldemort, correct? Right, well, he was... is a dark wizard that is trying to take over the wizarding world, he has gathered many followers in recent years, but many are fighting on the side of light against him. About 15 years ago, Voldemort went to kill a family on the light side, the Potters. When he got to their house, he killed James and Lily potter, he was going to kill their child too, but Lily, the child's mother, sacrificed herself to save her baby, named Harry. Voldemort couldn't kill Harry, he sent one of the most powerful curses at the child but it got repelled and killed, somehow, Voldemort instead.Now, Voldemort is rising to power again and is putting a lot of effort into trying to kill Harry. It doesn't matter who gets in the way- he just wants the poor boy dead, no matter who else he has to kill and injure in the process..." Remus finished off.

Sasuke kept a blank face while Naruko was still absorbing the information, the black haired teen continued for Remus, "So that's where we come in, to stop the intruders who are trying to invade the school."

It was more of a statement than a question, "And these... Death Eaters must be the name of his followers, right?"

"Right." Remus said simply before standing up, "The port-key must have taken a lot out of you two, you should get some sleep. There's a lot that needs to be done by tomorrow." He gave one last wave before leaving the room.

"Sasuke."

" Hn?"

" Do you sense anything off about our guide?" Naruko asked with a thoughtful frown.

Sasuke raised a brow, "In what way?"

" I don't know but Kyuubi is unsettled and says he smells like wolf and moonlight."

" Hn." Sasuke replied, noting to keep an eye on the wizard in the future.

Naruko sighed and pulled off the armor on her chest and arms, falling on the bed, 'This mission hasn't even started yet and I already hate it...' she thought before falling asleep.

Sasuke stared at the resting form of the blonde, her long hair spread upon the white pillow like a halo. Her lips were slightly parted and brows furrowed in sleep.

Sasuke sighed quietly, what can I do to make you trust me again...

With that heavy thought the last Uchiha closed his eyes and slept.
