Chapter 1: Reunited
HARRY'S P.O.V.
"FREAK! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" My Aunt and Uncle yelled as I curled in the corner, hiding from their wrath.
I didn't mean to do it... It happened on it's own...
I didn't want Dudley's hair to turn pink... He just made me mad...
He was making fun of my parents again... How they died when I was a baby...
The only things I remember from my parents was too small to even have as a newly appointed four year old, considering today was my fourth birthday...
When I thought about my father, his smile always came to mind, like it was a rare treasure indeed...
When I thought about my mother the color pink always came to mind, bringing a sweet thought to my troubled mind...
I guess that why his hair matched the light pink I always related to her.
Uncle Vernon grabbed my oversized shirt and said, "Listen well you Freak, if you don't undo what you did to our son, I will lock you in the cupboard for a week without food!"
I began crying and said, "I-I'm sor-rry Uncle... I didn't me-mean to... Please don't lo-lock me aw-away again-in..."
He threw me to the floor as hard as he could and I saw my glasses crack and felt my arm snap in the most painful manor I ever felt. I screamed in pain as my wrist and arm became completely immobile.
Uncle stepped back and looked at my bleeding arm, that now refused to move due to the pain.
"Freak! Look what you did! You got blood on the floors! Clean it up and I might take you to the hospital." He yelled as he left the room and went to the dinner table/
I wobbled as I stood up feeling the pain of my arm too much...
This... This was wrong...
Families love each other... They don't hurt...
Why do they hurt me...?
I looked at the front door through my now broken glasses with a new perspective...
Why am I here? This place is awful...
My fam... No these PEOPLE are awful...
Why do I stay?
Then I realized... There isn't a reason. Not anymore.
I looked around to see that the awful human beings were in the kitchen eating, making themselves even more fat than before, while watching a loud program on the tellie.
This is my chance...
I walked up to the door and opened in quietly, and closed it in the same manor...
As soon as the door was shut, I ran... I didn't care where I was going but, I was getting away from there.
Today was the last birthday I will ever spend in the number 4 Privet Drive. I'd rather die than go back there...
I turned down a street to see a large forest with big trees and dense bushes... No one went in there, they were all to scared to. This made this place perfect for hiding in.
I quickly ran into the woods running faster and faster avoiding trees, rocks, bushes, and multiple other objects that crossed my path.
I soon began to slow as my arm went numb with pain, as did the rest of my body... I had no idea where I was and I really didn't care...
I leaned against a large tree, hiding my self against the roots and in the leaves, letting the pain overtake me, and bring me into unconscious bliss.
SAKURA'S P.O.V.
"Sasuke... Why did this day have to exist?" I asked my husband as we leaped through the forest outside of Surrey.
Today was July 30th... The birthday of our son, Yoru...
We loved him so much, he was my first and only precious child, considering after his birth, Tsunade said my body could not bare anymore children...
This made him even more special in our eyes.
He made Sasuke smile, an actual smile that I was only able to get out of him a few times since I known him. But we got to know each other better when we were assigned a mission together at age 15.
Apparently the ANBU caught two teens outside of the village snooping around the outer village. After they were questioned, we discovered the Wizarding World... A place where one could manipulate Chakra through the air, not just the body...
As protocol dictated, since they possessed a threat to the village they were executed after a through questioning.
That's where our mission came in.
Lady Tsunade gave us a mission; Sasuke and I would use our Henge to become Lily Evans and James Potter, attend Hogwarts and infiltrate the Wizarding World from the inside out.
We spent years there and no one noticed the difference. But as the mission continued, Sasuke and I grew closer and closer... And about a year after graduating from the magic school, Lily was now a Potter, and I was now and Uchiha.
Not long after that we found we were to be parents.
We decided to come home to Konoha since I couldn't keep my Henge on while giving birth, as an excuse we told Sirius, Remus, and Peter, that we were going to Japan to visit some of the Potters old family friends.
Soon we had our little boy... My sweet Yoru...
When we returned we gave our friends the name Hadrian James Potter for our child, although they all insisted on nicknames.
Padfoot called him Pup, Moony called him Cub, Wormtail called him Kit, and Sasuke called him by his real name...
Sirius asked him what did it mean, my husband told him it mean stag in Japanese, to go along with his Prongs identity.
Everything was perfect for that moment...
But then that moment ended...
That night... It still scares me...
Sasuke and I had left a special kind of Shadow Clones to guard the house while we went to do our monthly report to the new Hokage, Naruto. The Shadow Clones we left were infused with magic so even if they are killed, they won't vanish until we dispel them, and we got to keep a mental connection to them, which made what happened even worse...
Voldemort came into our house and took out Sasuke's clone before he could even draw his kunai...
I heard the noise and set my little boy into the crib, when he struck my clone from behind...
The last thing my clone saw was Voldemort point his wand at my baby and he said, "Goodbye Harry Potter..."
When we returned to our house, it was a blaze and I fell to my knees crying, over the loss of my baby...
We didn't deal with the Wizarding World anymore and every year we'd go back to what remained of our home and mourned my baby's birthday...
Sasuke looked at me and said, "I wished it didn't exist either... I wish we still had our little Yoru with us..."
"Please... Help me..." We stopped dead in our tracks and leaped down from the trees.
I looked around and said, "That sounded like a little boy, but what is..."
"He-lp... me... I-I'm hu-hurt..."
I turned down to see a small child that look no older than four, bruised, scared, and a large break in his right arm, along with broken glasses.
I knelt down to the child and said, "It's okay we're going to help you..."
I began using my medical justu to mend the broken arm, which seem fairly recent.
Sasuke looked at him and asked, "What happened to you?"
The boy sobbed out, "M-My Aunt and Uncle-le... They were ma-mad at me... I-I did something on accident and Un-Uncle broke my arm and gl-glasses... So... I ran away... Pl-Please don't take me ba-back..."
I looked at the boy and said, "Don't worry, they were abusive bastards, as soon as you're healed enough to travel we'll report them. But the question is why aren't you living with your parents?"
The boy looked down and said, "They died when I was a baby... Aunt Petunia told me they died in a car crash, but I don't think that's right..."
Petunia... That the name of Lily's sister who married that fatuous Vernon Dursley.
They live not too far from here and... Wait a second...
"Who is your uncle?"
The boy looked up slightly and said, "Ve-Vernon Dursley... He's not nice..."
Could this be a coincidence or is their something more to this child...?
As I healed him more I began to see the features beneath the wounds.
He had dark black hair, pale skin, and emerald green eyes that could easily be compared to my own. Along with that he had a lighting bolt shaped scar on his forehead that looked old but still not completely healed.
He sort of looked like Sasuke when he was this age...
I looked the boy over again and again, spotting more and more things he had in common with us as the green glow healed his wounds. Sasuke must have taken notice too and he asked, "Kid, when is your birthday?"
The little boy replied, "Today... I never got to celebrate it though..."
He looks like us... His birthday is today... Could he really be...?
No... My baby was killed by that monster... I saw it...
Unless his Chakra blocked it...
"What's your name?" My husband asked in a hushed tone.
Was he thinking the same thing I was...?
The little boy looked up at us and said, "I'm Harry... Harry Potter..."
My heart stopped...
I looked down at the little boy I was healing with eyes wide open.
He looked at me and said, "My arm... It feels better... it doesn't hurt..."
I took the little boy's hand and said, "Ha-Harry..."
The little boy turned me and my husband and I said, "We're going to try something... It won't hurt, we just... "
He smiled and said, "Sure thing... It's the least I can do since you save my life."
Sasuke and I held the boy's hands and began to illuminate his Chakra from with his body...
Mine had always been a mix between greens and blues, while Sasuke had violets and reds, due to the nature of our Chakra use.
When Harry's Chakra came into light, I couldn't believe my eyes...
Waves of greens mixed into the reds and violets... The very same colors that was shown since the day he was born...
I began to cry tears of joy seeing the colors, hell even Sasuke let a few tears down...
He was alive... My baby... My Yoru...
Yoru looked at me and asked, "Why are you two crying? Did something go wrong?"
I smiled and said, "No... Everything was right... I'm just so happy I'm crying..."
Yoru then asked, "What made you so happy?"
I hugged on him and said though my tears, "Because at long last... I found my baby..."
HARRY'S P.O.V.
Her baby...?
What did she mean by that and why is she hugging me? Not that I'm objecting... I never really have been hugged before...
It felt...nice... especially her arms...
They felt safe and warm...
She looked at me and held my face in her hands as gentle as she could.
The woman's eyes... they looked a lot like mine...
She smiled and asked, "Do you know who we are?"
I shook my head and said, "No Miss..."
She began to pet my head and said, "I'm sure we look different than any photos you were shown..."
I looked at her with confusion.
Who would show me photos? Those people didn't even think of me as family...
What photos would they...
My eyes widen a little bit as I looked at the grown ups.
They looked... like me... or maybe I looked like them...
The man knelt down to me and said, "Your Uncle and Aunt believed your parents died, right?"
Believed...?
I gave a small nod in confirmation.
The man took my small hand and placed it in his. "The truth is... Your parents are still alive... In fact, they thought you were dead..."
Wha...?! M-My parents... They're still... Alive...
But how do these people...
The man let loose a smile as he held my hand closer to him...
That smile... Like it was a rare treasure...
I looked back at the woman who was also smiling, when I took notice of her hair, even though my glasses weren't working right and it was very dark out... It was pink...
Not some ungodly shade of bright pink or some dingy dirty pink. No it was soft and warm almost like a flower...
These feelings...
Who are these people?
The man then said, "We'd never thought we would see you again... Yoru..."
Yoru...
That name... It felt like it was apart of me... More than Harry ever was...
Could this be... my name?
But the only people who would know that would be...
Then it hit me...
The woman then asked again, "Do you know who we are Yoru?"
I looked at them with my eyes wide in realization in what they meant.
I began to sob out as I leeched on to the woman and cried out, "MOMMY! DADDY!"
The huddled around me bringing me into their warm embrace as I sobbed into the wo... My Mommy's shoulder...
My parents are alive... They're right in front of me...
Mommy held me closer and said, "Oh Sasuke, our baby's back..."
Daddy continued to pet my head and said, "Our son is back with us again...And nothing will separate us again."
Daddy stood up and said, "Yoru, you and Mommy stay here... I'll be right back."
Mommy looked up at him and asked, "Where are you going?"
He looked at her and said, "An eye for an eye Sakura. The pig broke his arm, I'm going to break his and report him... Those bastards will regret the day hurt one of the Uchiha Clan!"
With that Daddy disappeared in a cloud of smoke, leaving me to sit in my Mommy's arms as she stroked my head humming a soft tune.
Soon I felt my self fall into the most peaceful sleep I have ever been in.
I found my parents... I found them.
DUMBLEDORE'S P.O.V.
"Albus! Did you hear?!" McGonagall said as she entered my office all ruffled up.
Honestly I couldn't blame her, after the news I had received.
Apparently after having their house broken in to, resulting in Vernon Dursley's broken arm, the police discovered the blood on the floor belonged to Harry Potter, not the attacker or Dursley. With that the Petunia and Vernon was arrested for child abuse and their son was sent into foster care. Yet still they found no sign of Harry, other than a small trail of blood leading into the forest where it become unreadable as it entered the brush and leaves.
I nodded at her and said, "Yes... I did..."
She looked at me and asked, "What about the charms on the boy, can you find him?!"
I replied with a sigh, "I have already tried but the charms have been dispelled by an outside force... I'm not sure where Harry is..."
I looked out the window of my office and said, "Perhaps when he turns eleven we'll discover his location, when it comes to his letter."
McGonagall sighed and said, "Let's hope so Albus... I can only imagine what kind of torture the boy must be going through."
SASUKE'S P.O.V.
"Wowie! This is where you live?!" Yoru asked in English as we came to the Konoha gates.
I looked at him and said, "Yoru... You're suppose to talk in Japanese... Okay?"
He nodded and said, "Hai Daddy."
We have been on the move for the last week or so, since we left Surrey and came to Japan, after that it was a simple trip to the Hidden Continent all the while teaching our son how to speak Japanese. He was quite a quick learner, along with the language charms we learned he was fluent in the language by the time we reached the boarder of the Hidden Continent.
Yoru had no idea how to move at our speed, and was still fairly injured from those 'pigs' abuse, Sakura and I took turns carrying him on our backs after fixing his glasses so that he could clearly see everything that went by. But as we neared the gate, I decided to let him ride on my shoulders so he could get a good look around.
After what happened... I never thought I would get to do this but now...
I looked up at my son's smiling face...
I can't imagine it any other way. Sakura smiled and said, "Yep, and that means you live here too."
"Halt!"
The guard jumped down and looked at us and revealed her self to be Tenten. She must be subtuting for the guard today.
"Sasuke and Sakura? I was expecting you but who's the kid and why the hell is he on Uchiha's shoulders?!" Tenten asked.
Sakura smiled and said, "Well it's a bit of a story and we kind of have to tell the Hokage too, Tenten... But the gist of it is... Our son didn't die... We found him and before you asked we already did the Chakra test, it's a perfect match... Tenten meet Yoru Uchiha."
Tenten's eyes widen at him and said, "Holy Shi-"
She didn't even finish that sentence before my wife had her hand over her mouth.
"Do not swear around our 4 year old. Now let us in so we can talk to Naruto."
She nodded and opened the gates letting us back into the village.
Strangers and friends alike looked at us as we walked through the village with the little boy on my shoulders.
The first one to actually stop us was Gai...
"Hello there! Say who's the kid on your shoulders Sasuke? Does it have to do with my Eternal Rival?" I sighed in annoyance.
Same old Gai as the day we met him 12 years ago, only now we're 24 and he's 36.
Yoru looked at him and asked, "Who's that Daddy?"
I looked up at him and said, "This is Maito Gai, he the leader of a squad of shinobi. Gai-Sensei this is Yoru... Our long lost son..."
Gai looked at the kid and gave a hardy laugh. "Then today is a great day indeed! One of our own has returned home! Mind if I tell everyone else the good news?"
Sakura nodded and said, "Just make sure that everyone leaves us be for a bit. We have some catching up to do."
Gai nodded and jumped off to... Do what ever Gai does, I'm really not sure...
Finally we made it to the Hokage's office, to see Naruto hard at work. I never expected a goofball like him to become Hokage, let alone take it so seriously.
I smirked and said, "Lord Hokage we've returned."
Naruto stopped writing and said without looking up, "Sasuke, how many times to I have to tell you guys if no one's present just call me Naruto."
Then I replied, "We do have someone with us, one of the reasons why we're here."
Naruto looked up slightly and eyed my son as I placed him on the ground. Naruto looked at him with wide eyes and said, "He looks just like..."
Sakura nodded and said, "As of our yearly mission to Surrey, we were on our way to Godric's Hollow when we discovered a child severely beaten with a broken arm and other severe injuries. As we checked the boy over we began to notice his features and ask him questions. When we found him he told us his name was Harry Potter and his birthday was July 30th. As you know from our previous missions we were disguised as Lily and James Potter..."
Naruto looked at the boy and said, "But I thought he was..."
I replied, "We did too, but apparently his Chakra was able to defend him... He survived and here he is."
Naruto looked at me and Sakura and said, "I'm pretty sure you've already did the Chakra test, but if you would for the records."
We both nodded and Sakura looked at our son and said, "Yoru, would you hold our hands for a minute?"
Yoru nodded and took our hands one in each of his small little palms. Then our Chakra began to glow in the same radiance as before, showing the mix of colors.
Naruto gave a goofy grin as the colors died down and said, "Well then it's settled. Welcome to Konohagakure Yoru! I'm Lord Naruto Uzumaki, the Sixth Hokage, but please just call me Naruto."
Yoru looked nervously at him and said, "H-Hello Nar-root-tow... I'm Yoru... Honored to meet you..."
Naruto burst out laughing after hearing our 4 year old try to say his name, but ended up butchering it.
Naruto smiled and said, "Man I never thought my name was hard to pronounce. Why don't you just call me Uncle Naru?"
He looked at him and said softly, "Okay... Uncle Naru..."
Naruto smiled and said, "I'm sure there's much more to this story, that I have no doubt but you all look exhausted from your travels."
He pulled out some money and said, "Why don't you go get some Ramen before you head home. My treat."
Sakura giggled and said, "Even after all these years, you still have Ramen on the brain."
Yoru looked at Sakura and asked sweetly, "Mommy what's Ramen?"
That made Naruto fall out of his chair in shock. "He's never had Ramen before?! Go and get him some A.S.A.P.!"
Sakura smiled and said, "Sure thing... Uncle Naru..."
The three of us left the Hogake's Tower and made our way to the Ichigo's Ramen, being occasionally stopped and questioned on our son.
Finally we made it to the shop and ordered up three bowls of Ramen. Soon the food came out and Yoru looked at the bowl with a tad bit of wonder.
He hadn't eaten much, which worried Sakura. Those 'pigs' were fat and gluttonous meaning hardly any food was given to our little boy...He was malnurished and needed to eat, but he told me that he was afriad someone was going to take it way.
This made me even more angery than before. I should have slaughtered those 'pigs' when I had the chance! Jail was too good for them...
I looked at him and said, "It's alright, it's all yours and no one is going to take it away. Okay?"
He looked at me with his emeralds he had for eyes and gave a small nod.
He picked up the chopsticks with trouble trying to learn to eat with them, considering how they used silverware instead. Sakura guided his hands to wear they were suppose to be and soon he was able to pick up some of the food.
He took a bite and a smile rolled across his face. Soon he was eating like any boy his age would, so fast that it made you wonder how he was breathing.
Sakura looked at him and said with a giggle, "Yoru slow down! It's not going anywhere."
"Well I'll be damned. Gai was telling the truth then."
I looked up to see Kakashi Sensei, giving us his signature eye smile.
I petted Yoru head and said, "Yeah, to say the least it was the best thing to happen to us in years..."
Yoru looked up at the silver headed shinobi and asked, "Why is your hair like that? Are you really old?"
That got a little chuckle out of me seeing my Sensei get called an old man.
Kakashi replied with a small eye smile, "No... My hair is naturally colored like this... My name is Kakashi Hatake, and I'm was your parent's teacher or sensei."
Yoru looked at him with curiosity and said, "I'm Yoru Uchiha. It's nice to meet you Mr. Kat-kaw-she..."
I hate to say it but it's kind of cute to see my son brutally butcher the names of our friends.
Sakura laughed and said, "Don't feel bad Kakashi-sensei... He couldn't say Naruto's name either. Ended up calling him, Uncle Naru."
Kakashi gave a small chuckle and said while looking at Yoru, "Well then I guess we better come up with a decent nickname for me then, huh Yoru?"
My son turned to him while slurping up another noodle and said, "Um... Okay... What did you help my Mommy and Daddy do when you were their sensei?"
He replied, "Well Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke really didn't have much family to begin with. When they came to Team 7, they became team members, even more, they became family."
I gave a small nod in agreement with what he was saying. It's true...
If it wasn't for Sakura and Naruto, I would have given into my hate... I would have abandoned the village and try to kill my older brother...
But they knocked the sense right back into me... Naruto through words and Sakura... She broke my arm and told me if I ever tried to leave the village, she would hate me forever...
I couldn't let that happen...
So I stayed and eventually we did catch Itachi and we found out the truth of what he did...
He was ordered to do it... A spy for the Leaf in the Akatsuki... My brother didn't want to kill our family...
He was forced to or else... They would kill us and claim our Kekkei Genkai, our bloodline limit... Our Sharingan as their own and that would be bad...
After the Akatsuki was defeated my brother was welcomed back into the village after a long talk with Lady Tsunade...
He was finally back and he was trying to make up for his sins... And as much as I hated him, I saw it in his eyes...
Not the hate filled Sharingan, not the cold emotionless black pupils, but the inner turmoil's of what he did and how he regretted...
Eventually Sakura forced me to talk to him when we first got engaged. When we did talk, it wasn't about shinobi, the slaughtering of our clan, or the Akatsuki... He was saying how proud of me he was, he was generally happy to see me find joy in this world after all the pain and suffering I endured...
He was happy to see me happy...
After that day, we began to talk like we used to, but never about the past... Always the future. It was better that way...
Which reminds me, we should stop and see him before we head home... I'm sure he would want to see his long lost nephew.
Yoru looked at Kakashi and said, "So basically you were like a father to them, right?"
Kakashi rubbed the back of his head and said, "Well I wouldn't say..."
"Actually Kakashi, he's kind of right." I said looking at him.
Then I continued by saying, "You set us on the right path, helped us determine right from wrong, and gave us a new way to look at the world. In my book that's the definition of a father figure."
Sakura nodded and said, "Yep! I'm sure Naruto would agree if he was here too."
Kakashi gave eye smile with a little visible blush and said, "Well... I feel honored that you think of me that way."
Yoru looked up at him and said, "I know what to call you now."
Kakashi looked at him and said, "Oh, what is it then?"
Yoru smiled and said, "Care for a bowl of Ramen... Ojiisan?"
I couldn't help but let a little laugh out at the look on Kakashi's face and Sakura was cracking up too.
Ojiisan... Grandpa...
He just called Kakashi Hatake of the Sharingan, White Chakra, and former ANBU Captain, his Grandpa, which was absoulutly priceless!
Kakashi said, "I'm not THAT old, Yoru!"
Yoru smiled and said, "No but you were like a father to my Mommy and Daddy, since their parents were gone. You took them in like they were family, which make you family to me. You don't have to be old to be called Ojiisan... You have to earn it... Which from what I've heard, you earned like a billion times over Ojiisan."
Kakashi looked at the boy in wonderment of how well he just spoke right there.
Kakashi sighed and said, "Thanks for the offer, but I ate not too long ago... I'll see you later Jinushi."
I felt a small smirk come across my face as Kakashi called him Jinushi... Call him his Grandson...
Kakashi waved his goodbye and we continued our little dinner. Soon, Yoru's eyelids began to flutter as looked drowsly at the bowl.
It had been a long day and appearantly he was exsausted. I guess we can go see Lady Tsunade and Itachi tomorrow... Right now Yoru needs his sleep.
I picked up our barely awake son and held him on my back. As we walked home, Yoru began to fall asleep, but tried to stay awake by asking questions.
"What did Ojiisan teach you guys?"
Sakura replied, "He was teaching us to become shinobi."
Yoru then asked, "What's a shinobi?"
I replied, "Shinobi are ninja who protect their home village, for us it's Konoha, the Village of Hidden Leaves. We learned how to do use Ninjustu, Genjustu, and Taijustu, which let's us protect and fight for what we believe in."
"Can I be a shinobi?" My sleeply little son asked as we neared our house.
Sakura replied, "Sure sweetie... As soon as you're healed a bit more, we'll begin training you for the academy."
We entered our home and we made our way to the master bedroom.
We never touched his old room, there's still a crib, baby clothes, and little toys set in place. Tomorrow, we'll need to do some shopping while we're in town for him, but tonight he can sleep with us.
I grabbed an oversized t-shirt from my closet and put it onto my son. I set him in the dead center of the large bed and pulled the covers over him.
Sakura and I was about to leave the room to start packing up the old baby items for storage, when I we heard Yoru say with a tired yawn, "I love you Mommy and Daddy..."
Sakura and I looked at each other with large grins stretched arcoss our faces. I don't smile that often, because I don't find much to smile about but that...
That right there was worthy of my smile.
We both walked in the room and kissed our son's forehead and whispered to him, "We love you too, Yoru... Goodnight."
We closed the door of the bedroom, letting our little boy sleep blissfully.
I looked at Sakura and kissed her saying, "So Mommy, shall we get to work?" She giggled and said while kissing back, "Sure thing Daddy, but you should keep that smile you have on right now."
I replied, "I just can help it... He's just..."
"Perfect." Sakura said coming in closer.
I nodded and said, "Absoultely."
Sakura smiled and said, "Our little Yoru, I can't wait to see how you change our lives."
