Summary: Loneliness was not for him, Harry knew that. Then he met Kakashi and he found a solution to his problem.

Pair: Harry Potter/ Kakashi Hatake

Chapter 22 – Drums of War

"Harry? What are you doing up?"

The green eyed wizard was up, watching from the window the dark sky. It aught to be dawn by now but it had been raining all night long and the wizard had not gotten much rest with all the thunders booming throughout the night. He was glad Teddy was no longer afraid of them, he never had been but there was just something ominous about the bad weather.

"Come back to bed," Kakashi urged his lover and Harry turned to him.

He crawled under the covers, pressing his slightly cool body to Kakashi's warmer one.

The shinobi pulled the green eyed man closer, cuddling into his lover's neck.

"What's wrong?" Kakashi's voice was husky from sleep.

"I don't know," Harry whispered back. "I feel restless and I can explain this. I want to blame the storm but..." he trailed off.

Kakashi cracked an eye open, his original dark eye. "You're not wrong," he said before closing his eye again. "I've been feeling it all week. Ignore it and lay with me. Whatever it is, it can wait until later."

Harry sighed but he followed his lover's advice.

The atmosphere in the Godaime's office was tense. The best of the best of Konoha's J�nin were there, along with the Clan Heads and Tsunade's advisors. Naruto and his mentor were also present, Kakashi noted with interest. They were all on edge, just like Harry was for the past few days. Kakashi saw the Head of ANBU division follow Tsunade as she entered the room and felt his stomach roll. Things were definitely not good if that man was present. They all bowed respectfully to Tsunade and waited for their leader to speak.

"Shinobi of Konoha," the Hokage greeted them gravely and they all bowed their heads.

"Hokage."

"I know you have felt the disturbance," Tsunade told him. "If you haven't yet you will feel it even more now. Konoha's under siege. As we speak, our feelers on the borders of Fire Country have informed me of the approaching threat. A group of missing Nin that wish to cover the spot Orochimaru and the Akatsuki left open is targeting our hidden village."

The shinobi in the room were alarmed. Kakashi stopped faking disinterest and he straightened his back, becoming more alert.

"How many?" Yamato asked.

"At least three hundred," Tsunade replied. "Most of them are chunin level at best, but we are estimating that at least two dozen of them are J�nin level. They identify themselves as 'Nightmares' and they have already laid waste to several small villages on lands surrounding the Land of Fire. Their body tally is nearing two thousand dead, most of them civilians."

"Shouldn't we meet them half way? Stop them before they near Konoha?" Gai asked.

Asuma shook his head. "It would not do us any good," he told his peer.

"Sarutobi is correct," Tsunade agreed. "Konoha is able to fend them off. If we faced them away from here they would scatter and we would need to hunt them down, collateral damage would rise. Here, we have the advantage. Our civilians are used to attacks. They can evacuate the village when notice is given."

Nods came from the attending shinobi.

"I have already ordered for increased patrols," the Godaime announced. "As of right now, Konoha is under lockdown and will stay that way until the threat is eliminated." Then she went on to outline the plan she and her advisors had made, giving her all their attention. During her speech, Naruto slipped into the room and his face looked grave. He was quiet and when he caught Tsunade's eye the Hokage nodded at him.

"…That's all for now. Dismissed!" the Godaime barked and stormed out of her office, Naruto hot on her heels.

Kakashi just knew it was not about anything good. His blood was pumping after hearing the news. And he felt admittedly better now that he could identify a threat instead of just being taut and tense without knowing why.

"And we just rebuilt everything," Asuma sighed and Kakashi near him sighed as well as they trailed out of the room. Kurenai's husband shot him a look. "Going back home?"

"I do need to alert my students and Harry as well," the J�nin replied.

"Oh?" Asuma arched an eyebrow, a lit cigarette already finding its way to the man's mouth.

Kakashi gave a one eyed glare at the smoking shinobi. "What?" he demanded.

"Reporting to Harry? Already? You have been together how long now?"

"Bit over a year, why?" the Hatake replied.

"Just saying…." Asuma muttered.

"He means you are whipped," Anko said from behind them. "I'd never expected you to be this way," the snake charmer said to Kakashi. "Asuma, we all know he's Kurenai's dog…"

"Hey!" said the man protesting.

"Oh, shut it, you know it too," the purple haired kunoichi said. "But you Kakashi… Glad I never bet on that one," she admitted.

"Is it so hard to believe I can do long term relationships?" the silver haired shinobi challenged her.

It was not Anko that answered this time, but Gai, Asuma, Yamato and even Ibiki who was walking near them, all of them saying a loud 'Yes' that had Kakashi scowling.

"Face it, scarecrow," Mitarashi grinned. "You were never prime boyfriend material."

"We were proven wrong, though," Gai hastened to assure his eternal rival. "Harry and your love have fanned the flames of youth!"

Kakashi groaned. "I'm not staying here for this," he declared and with that he used Shunshin to get away from them.

Team 7 sans Naruto and Team 5 were staring at the J�nin who had taught them. Kakashi had just announced to them the news. Sasuke and Sakura were livid that there was a new threat both because they wanted Konoha protected and because they knew that Naruto would be in the middle of it all. As for the genin, they were alarmed.

"Siege?" Akihiko muttered. "Hm, that will be..."

"Awful," Teddy replied, looking a bit pale. At the looks he received he averted his gaze. "My parents were killed during a siege," he offered. It was the truth. The Death Eaters had been besieging Hogwarts, turning a school into a battle ground.

"Konoha has survived worse," Sasuke commented, making Teddy sigh.

All shinobi knew that the village had been a crater not ten years ago from the previous large battle. Yet Konoha, the idea and the people had survived and rebuilt everything. It was a small comfort but a comfort none the less.

"You won't be on the front lines," Kakashi clarified as he addressed his genin. "I mean that. Unless all defences fall and it will not come to that," he vowed and the kids nodded. "You will be stationed around buildings in the middle of the town. Should the evacuation signal be given, you are to help guide the civilians to the bunkers and to the safe houses."

"I'm training to be a medic," Akihiko said.

"You are not certified yet," Sakura told him. "You and even if you were, you cannot join the front lines or the hospital just yet. Should any civilians or academy students panic and get hurt you are obligated to offer help but you are not to deal with serious injuries like those likely to occur on front lines."

"So basically, we sit and wait," Kenji muttered and the older shinobi nodded.

Harry was done boarding up his shop when Kakashi came to find him.

"Hey," he greeted the J�nin who gave a short wave. "Came to talk with me?"

"And walk you home."

The green eyed wizard was a bit amused. "I'm not helpless you know."

"I know... Humour me?"

Harry smiled. "Of course."

They walked side by side. The streets were mostly empty of civilians. The only ones around were the shinobi and they just took to the roofs, finding it more practical to be hopping from roof to roof over the place. Harry observed all that. He hated seeing the signs of impending battle all around him. It was too morbid and too dark for his tastes. Also, it made him realise more than ever that this place was a military town for the most part. Even after years of staying in Konoha he eyed the roof hopping shinobi with wonder in his eyes; chakra was the kind of magic that was both familiar and alien to him.

Kakashi followed his trail of sight. "Hm, that was Anko just now."

"The purple haired kunoichi with the obsession with dango," the green eyed wizard recalled.

"That's the one. I bet they were just returning from patrolling the perimeter," Kakashi mused.

"Are you going to patrol too?"

"No, I'm too big a name, too loud a face," the silver haired J�nin replied. "The Godaime will have me in the front lines when the battle starts."

Harry sighed. "Well, I trust you know to be careful."

"Always."

They walked in silence for a while until they left the empty streets of the village centre and took to the outer residences, towards Harry's house.

"Teddy came by," Harry said as they were walking up the path that led to their home. "Stay out of sight and protect the civilians?"

Kakashi shrugged. "They are shinobi, yes, but they are still kids. Tsunade is like Sarutobi in many ways, she hates seeing kids in the front lines."

"You were in the front lines."

The J�nin shrugged. "Yes well, so was Uchiha Itachi. They learned their lesson. Broken geniuses are worse than broken kunai."

"The talk has gotten depressing," Harry quipped.

"Yes well, the whole atmosphere is depressing," Kakashi replied. "The calm before the storm. I hate the wait, before a battle, before a kill, it's the worst. I function best when I act."

"You certainly do."

Kakashi smirked. "You are not talking about my skills in battle."

"Not really."

"Harry... I might need to leave suddenly."

"Hm, well we better be quick and make the most of it," the wizard offered.

"We really shouldn't."

"It is a perfectly acceptable way to pass the time," Harry replied and Kakashi chuckled.

"Was that a motivation speech?"

"Just the prelude, the rest of it is more hands on."

They reached the house quickly and in no time clothes were flying in every direction as they made their way clumsily up the stairs, hands roving and exploring and mouths firmly attached. They tumbled to the bed, Harry over his lover and they both had wide smiles on their faces. They were both hard too; all the teasing touches had them worked up and in need of release.

"That was fun," Kakashi muttered.

"It's bound to get better," the wizard replied and the shinobi's grin turned wider.

"I bet it ... oh! What was that?"

"My abilities are not just for battle," Harry stated as he straddled his lover and started lowering his body to take in his lover.

The shinobi gasped. "How on earth...?"

"Magic," replied Harry as he started moving, Kakashi moaning under him.

The raven haired wizard set the pace as he moved in tune with his lover. Kakashi had his arms around the green eyed man, gently trailing them over the warm skin. His mouth was on Harry's face, gently kissing him, on the cheek, his chin and his mouth. While a few minutes ago they had been frantic and fast the moment Kakashi was inside Harry, so suddenly and so effortlessly, he felt the need to take it slower, draw this out. Perhaps it was because they had not had the chance to fool around more, or because at any given moment all hell could break loose, but the J�nin wanted the feeling to last longer. He was seated on the bed with Harry gently rising above him when there was a tap on the door.

Harry, let out a mortified noise that sounded more like a squeak and Kakashi just glared at their intruder.

For his art, Sasuke was busy trying to forget the image of his teacher and the green eyed man locked together like that. The blush on his face and the way he was staring at the ceiling of the bedroom instead of the pair on the bed said it all.

"Get away Sasuke," Kakashi ordered, his voice cold.

The Uchiha gave a nod and went but not before relaying the Godaime's message that Hatake was to report to the ANBU division.

"Oh, Merlin!" Harry muttered, mortified.

Kakashi just flexed his hips, earning a yelp from his lover. "We're not finished yet, love," Kakashi told Harry.

"But..."

The J�nin just kissed his lover and thrust his hips again.

Sakura was there when Sasuke arrived at Tsunade's office, having a familiar look on his face. A look she had worn at a time. The thought did not dawn on her until their former J�nin instructor also made an appearance, dressed in his ANBU garb. Kakashi was too well known and it hardly mattered whether he wore his mask or not when his hair was so recognisable, but he had still bothered with the bone white mask. When Sakura saw Sasuke blush and look away she knew. The pink haired kunoichi stifled a giggle at the thought that Sasuke had apparently walked in on Kakashi and Harry. That made it two out of three members from Team Seven. All that was left was for Naruto to also take a peek. This time Sakura did giggle, earning a glare from both Sasuke and the silver haired J�nin.

There was an explosion. It happened early in the morning, just before the sun went up, near the southern side of Konoha. The explosion was like a trigger. Konoha's military forces mobilised. Harry was not in his home, waiting, but he had changed to his wolf form and was prowling the streets. He did not dare approach the area Teddy and his team were on call. He did not want his godson to think he did not trust him. So he walked and observed as the shinobi did what they new best, battle. There were two fronts, apparently, where the enemies had tried to strike, the front gates was one of them but the south side was taking the most battering from the enemy forces. Jutsu's and exploding tags were making most of the noise. Shinobi, for the most part, fought silently, trying to neutralise the threat before it got too big or more people were hurt. This Harry knew because at some point, part of the wall was pierced and fell, giving him a view as to what was happening outside. The wolf Animagus lay in wait, ready to help should he need to.

Kakashi felt the blood trailing down the steel of his blade. It had been years since the last time he used his blade so much had been after Minato had died and they, meaning Konoha, had needed all available shinobi to show the other nations that the Kyuubi attack had not crippled them. Kakashi slid the blade out and focused on his next opponent. His team's goal was to track down the strongest shinobi in the enemy's ranks and take them down and he was doing just that. From his peripheral vision he could see Sasuke and Yamato, their blades bare, cutting through their opponents. He sighed and was about to regroup when he caught sense of powerful chakra and grinned under his mask.

'Looks like the big fish came out to play,' he mused. And got ready.

Teddy was alert, all his senses zoning in whenever he heard noise. Kenji, seeing him so alarmed, placed a hand on his shoulder.

"What's up?" he asked his friend since Academy.

"Too much noise, so many things happening," Teddy muttered.

Akihiko frowned. "Would it help if you were not so alert all the time? And how come your senses are better than an Inuzuka's?"

The amber eyed wizard shrugged. "Happened," he replied. "And I can't tune them down. Usually meditation helps but..."

"Now is not the time," Akihiko nodded in agreement.

They were all three alert, kunai in hand. Kenji had sent his Kikai out to scout all around but so far they got nothing.

"Hopefully the other shinobi will have everything under control," Kenji muttered and his two team mates agreed.

Killing intent spiked and Ebony lifted his head and took off running. He zeroed in at the scene. It was definitely an Inuzuka, the dog out cold and the dog's partner angry and hurt. Their opponent was a spiky haired girl with blond and green hair. She had clothes splattered with blood and quite honestly, she smelled of death. The Wolf Animagus dragged the injured shinobi out of her line of attack, a good thing too since the kunoichi used acid in her attacks. The Konoha shinobi, more alert now, managed to get to his feet. He eyed the canine that saved him while their enemy raged.

"I thought your mutt clan had only one flee ridden menace at a time! Not to worry though, one more body makes no difference in the end."

"Hey, thanks for saving me," the Konoha shinobi told Ebony. "I can tell you're not one of Inuzuka dogs. Naruto mentioned that his J�nin instructor had dog summons. You must be Hatake's. Though, you don't really look like a dog, rather like a wolf I'd say." he eyed his downed partner with sadness and then faced the enemy kunoichi, fury still strong.

Ebony fell into step next to him.

"Name's Inuzuka Kiba," he told the wolf Animagus. Then they started fighting back. They used claws and kunai, fangs and Jutsu, speed and brute strength and soon their opponent was dealt with. Ebony's fur was matted with blood, thankfully little of it his own. Then Kiba rushed to Akamaru.

"He needs to go to our vets," he told the canine animal that had helped him.

Ebony nodded his head and took off. There was nothing more he could offer the teen now. All he could do is make sure none of the Konoha shinobi he came across were harmed too much.

Jiraiya cursed. Their lines had been broken and some had managed to get inside Konoha. He was trailing fast behind them, trying to get to them before they could do too much harm. When the chase took him to the Academy, he cursed. He had taken down three out of the six that had managed to get inside the walls but it was too close to the Hokage tower for his liking. When he had sight of them again he groaned.

"Just my rotten luck," he said to himself. The shinobi he had been after had come across Kakashi's runts. He recognised Teddy among them. He lingered for a few minutes when he saw that the kids were actually holding their own against the three he had not caught up with yet. They were a well rounded team. The Aburame kid held the shinobi down as much as he could, his Kikai draining the chakra from them. The Yamanaka took control of one and had him attacking the other while Teddy was up against the third shinobi, sword drown and fast on his feet. Ten minutes and Team Seven managed to take them down. Jiraiya smirked and approached them. Three pairs of eyes went wide, Teddy's for a whole different reason than his team mates.

"Good job you three," he told them as he took out a scroll and gathered the bodies. "Keep it up, kiddies," Jiraiya told them and sauntered away.

Kakashi blinked. He thought that his eyes were fooling him, Sharingan included, when he saw a large wolf tackling one of the riff raff from behind just as said guy was about to attack the silver haired J�nin while he was in the middle of the fight with one of the more powerful members of their attackers.

"Ebony," he muttered and the wolf looked at him, with those bright emerald eyes, and bowed his large head.

Kakashi focused back on his opponent. He would get the rest of the story later from his lover. Sasuke was a few paces away, his summons out as he was up against two of their enemies, both with large chakra signatures.

"Can you help Sasuke?" Kakashi asked the wolf.

Ebony did not hesitate and where the animal previously was now stood a wizard, green eyes intense.

"Keep it brief will you?" Harry told his lover as he rushed to Sasuke's side.

The Uchiha did not show his surprise at seeing him.

"Need a hand?" the wizard grinned.

"You have no weapon," the raven haired shinobi pointed out even mid fight.

Harry just eyes the snakes. "I hardly need to," he replied. "Serpensortia Maxima!"

Dozens of serpents appeared all around them, long and venomous and completely under Harry's command, which came with a hiss. The wizard's opponents never stood a chance. Sasuke stared, his gaze lingering on his former instructor's lover just for a moment, a million questions running through his mind before he shook his head. There would be time, much later, to ask all he wanted but now... He faced his opponent, his Sharingan glowing. Now he had a job to do.

Naruto was at Tsunade's side. Strategy had never been his strongest point, choosing good friends and reliable comrades was his main good point, aside from monstrous chakra reserves and a hard head. It was why Nara Shikamaru was at the future Rokudaime's side; offering advice about strategic moves; commenting and explaining to the blond everything and anything he was asked. Tsunade and Shikamaru's father watched the duo and the progress they made with every incoming piece of intel they received.

"He's going to be a great Hokage," the Nara clan head told the Godaime Hokage who smiled and nodded.

"I know. Your kid is not half bad either."

The proud father smiled.

The so called siege lasted for six hours. During that time Konoha's shinobi obliterated the opposition. Not one was allowed to escape them. It was during those six hours that Harry's prowess in battle was revealed to a number of Konoha's J�nin. Kurenai had been shocked to see her green eyed friend at Kakashi and Sasuke's side, a snake dangling from around his neck, blood spattering his clothes. She was not alone in her staring.

Tsunade had taken Naruto and went down to observe the end result. The Godaime had not been surprised to see Harry among her shinobi. She just gave him a long look.

"Glad to see you here," she told the wizard.

Harry just bowed his head. "I could help so I did," he offered and she nodded.

"I need answers you know," Kurenai told her green eyed friend.

"Since when could you fight?" Asuma asked Kakashi's lover.

"That's a funny story," the silver haired J�nin said, his Sharingan hidden behind his Hitai-ate once again, shoulders dropping after all the fighting.

Jiraiya, newly arrived at the scene cackled. "So, green eyes here had a go at them, big deal. I have to tell you though, Kakashi, those kids of yours..."

The father in Harry roared. "The actually were in a fight?"

"Won too," the Toad Sanin said. "Relax, they're all fine," he assured the raven haired man.

"What I need right now is a long, warm bath," Kurenai said willing to drop the matter of Harry's fighting skills for now. If Tsunade seemed unconcerned then so was she.

"Warm bath?" Kakashi gave a sly look to Harry, who gave him a tired grin.

"You are a dog," the green eyed wizard accused but the silver haired J�nin shrugged unrepentantly. He just put his arm around Harry's shoulder and started the walk towards their home, their comrades following their example.
