Harry was sure that had Sasuke been able to, he would have tried to kick his ass. But since the boy could do nothing but lay there, he chose the option of glowering instead. Harry’s smirk just widened into a cheeky grin.
“What..” Sasuke stopped, seemingly swallowed, probably to force back some blood before he opened his mouth and began again. “What are you?”
“Ooh, very good. Could it be that you are the genius that everyone claims you to be?”
The Uchiha’s glare increased ten fold.
Chuckling, Harry just waved him off. “We can get to that later, after I’ve gotten you away from here.”
“I’m not going anywhere with you,” the boy scowled even as he tried to get up off the rain soaked ground. “I need to gain the power that was offered to me so I can kill him!” he growled furiously, but Harry just stared at him dispassionately.
Slowly, the immortal stood up and if Harry wasn’t what he was then he probably wouldn’t have noticed the barely audible gasp coming from the boy. Mentally he grinned, knowing that the way his eyes looked right now had startled his future charge. After all, it’s not everyday you come across someone with solid black eyes - no pupils, no whites - even in the ninja world. But at the moment he didn’t care for his whole self was concentrating on the figure standing beside the boy.
Her jet black hair and dark eyes had lost their shine but Harry could easily tell it had once been there and that the woman was beautiful. He watched with a frown as the woman shook her head - fast and shaky-like - as she gazed pleadingly between himself and the hurt boy.
“Oh? Apparently, the dead say otherwise.” Blinking, Harry let his eyes shift back to the haunting green he had been granted with since birth and nodded at the now frighteningly pale child.
“What?”
“Later, I’ll answer your questions. But at the moment we need to leave and tend to those wounds of your’s.”
That seemed to bring some color and purpose back into Sasuke for he snarled out, “I didn’t come all this way to get taken back now! I defeated Naruto and I can defeat you if I have to.” Again, he continued to try to stand.
Harry snorted, amused. “I’d like to see you try or anyone else for that matter...eh, Kabuto?”
The young boy’s head whipped around, a look of surprise on his face before it was quickly covered up just as the silver-haired Sound ninja stepped out from the brush.
“It seems,” the interloper pushed his glasses further up his nose, making Harry once again thankful that his merging had fixed his eyesight. That was one thing he didn’t miss. “That you have me at a disadvantage.”
Shrugging his shoulders, not caring, he activated his ‘sight’ once again. “I have many names, but you can call me Kouken, Yakushi Kabuto, traitor of the Leaf, right hand man of the traitor sannin Orochimaru of the Leaf, spy and adapt in medic ninjutsu.”
“Your information is surprisingly accurate.”
“Yes,” Harry nodded, ignoring the child’s narrowed gaze that seemed to be locked on him. “Like you, I like to know everything I can on my enemies.”
Kabuto chuckled, smiling condescendingly. “Are we enemies, Kouken-san? We’ve never met before.”
“Maybe, maybe not.” He shrugged his shoulders, “But, I tend to keep up with psychotic men who have an unhealthy and unnatural love of snakes and immortality.”
“Besides,” Harry snarled, black eyes narrowing. “Anyone who thinks they can steal the body of my charge has me as an enemy. So tell your boss that from now on Sasuke is no longer an option for him.”
Kabuto’s body tensed, “Orochimaru-sama is-“
“Orochimaru-sama,” he mocked as he began to call upon one of the few powers he had now, “Can kiss my ass. I’ve already killed one snake-loving, immortal-seeking freak, and I won’t hesitate to do it again if he should so much as touch one hair on Sasuke’s head.”
In the blink of an eye, before anyone else really knew what was happening, Harry shifted, his black wolf form turned towards his charge even as the thick shadows sprung to life from the brush around them, wrapping around the Sound ninja like a dark, solid vine, keeping the man immobile, unable to attack.
Harry could smell the fear rolling off of Sasuke even though the boy tried to hold his face and body in an uncaring way even as he closed in on the younger one, jaws open and black fangs shining oddly in the small light that escaped the dark clouds and trees. If he could, Harry would have rolled his eyes but instead settled on just crouching down and crawling forward til his muzzle was pushing against Sasuke’s tense body.
“What are you doing?” Sasuke hissed as he tried unsuccessfully to push the large furry body off of him.
Harry’s huff of annoyance came out more like a hard pant. If he didn’t know that the boy’s weapons pouch was empty, he might have been slightly worried, but at the moment he was more frustrated than anything. He was in a hurry for he knew he would not be able to hold the shadows for much longer and his soon to be charge was being a pain and not co-operating like a good little cub should.
Fed up, Harry pushed hard under the other’s body, causing Sasuke’s hands to tighten uncontrollably in his thick fur. Using this to his advantage, he pushed a bit harder, ignoring the grunt of pain that sounded in his ears and lifted, making sure to twist his body in a way that made the cub’s form mold better to his back before taking off through the woods.
Luckily, Sasuke seemed to realize that it was better to hold on then be dragged around, that or he figured that Harry wouldn’t give up if he tried to get away. Either way, Harry relaxed his body a little when he felt the cub shift his own human body better to lay against his own and tighten his hold on the wolf’s fur. Unable to communicate mind to mind - for the bonding hadn’t been completed yet - Harry let his happiness come out in a high pitched yip and bounded away faster, but still mindful of the precious burden that clung to him.

Kouken - Guardian
AN: Yes, Harry is OOC, there are reasons for this though which will be explained later. Also, someone suggested other pairings, namely one with Iruka. The answer to that is no, there really won’t be any other pairings and as for Iruka, well, he really won’t be in this story since it revolves around mainly Kakashi, Sasuke and Harry. While Team 7 will be in it, they are not the focal point.
Next chapter will bring Kakashi into the mix.
