A/N: This is a Fem!Harry story! She's named Fia (Italian for Flame) Not sure about Parings or if there will even be any here. Preferences?
uh…I LOVE KHR HP crossovers …there are not enough so I decided to add to the shortage to celebrate my new computer. I got this idea from a KHR HP crossover called Wintertide by Araceil, and the base idea of Harry being female and Reborn's daughter is all her. (READ WINTERTIDE AND BASK IN ITS AWESOME! GO! I COMMAND THEE! It is on )
DO NOT OWN ANYTHING AU! OOC! Keep in mind Reborn has bonded with Fia (Harry) for an entire year both in person and over letters so he knows her and is attached!
~Mind to mind Speech~
O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~
Honestly, Fia had never been so terrified in her life. Sure she had known it would come down to this. She had known Dumbledore wasn't trustworthy, she had known Ron was a jealous pig, she had known they would do anything to keep her under Dumbledore's control…she had known, but she had not seen this coming.
Dumbledore had killed Sirius- he had killed him- because he had offered Fia a way out of his web of manipulations. Ron had turned on her and led him to his death. Fia had in the course of two days lost Sirius, Severus, and discovered the Weasley family excluding Bill, Charlie and the Twins had been using her. It had crushed her even though she knew it was coming, and she had fled to Remus.
Remus had taken her in and they had run. Voldemort was dead- had died a year ago today- so Fia saw no reason to remain in the Wizarding World where Dumbledore could get ahold of her and use her in his master plan so she and Remus had run as soon as Voldemort had died, and hadn't stopped.
The problem now, was Dumbledore had caught them and the Order of the Phoenix had them surrounded. Remus was standing behind her, pressed back to back with her. Fia was bleeding from cuts on her right arm, left leg, and left temple. She had a thin slash that she knew was going to scar on her face that stretched from her left temple, barely missed the corner of her eye and stopped just before her top lip. Her chest was bruised as well as her arms and lower back. There was a bad slash on her stomach area that she needed to fix as well. Remus was worse off and had bruises, and deep cuts as well as broken ribs and a broken wrist- thankfully not his wand hand.
Remus held up his wand protectively and in a barely audible tone whispered "Fia. It is time. Both of us can't get out of this. Use your necklace Cub. I love you. He will take care of you now."
Fia gasped. Her necklace was simple looking. There was a silver chain attached to a silver chameleon by its tail. It was however, a portkey to her biological father. He knew she existed, had known for just about a year now, had found out about her being alive the second day she had been running, and had given her the necklace on her birthday. He had told her to come to him if she ever needed help, and now it looked like she would be going to him. "Are you sure Remus?" she asked, using his real name to let Remus know how serious she was.
"Yes Fia, I'm sure. Go. I love you my cub."
Fia clenched her eyes shut and murmured "I love you too Remus. Bye." Then she activated the portkey with a simple phrase "To Family" She could hear the roars of denial as she felt the expected hook and drag feeling before she was gone.
She landed hard and cried out. Fia lay there for a few seconds before she managed to drag herself up. The portkey was anchored to her father's chameleon Leon so she knew he was close. Considering she was in front of a wooden house she assumed he was inside and stumbled to the door. She managed to knock twice and leaned against the doorframe. "I'll have to apologize to whoever lives here for the blood…" she thought dazedly. The door opened to reveal a boy with brown hair and eyes. "Does…Reborn…live here?" she barely remembered to use her father's cover name as she wavered on her feet.
She watched as the brown eyes widened and he yelled for Reborn. "Dame-Tsuna-" she knew the moment Reborn saw her because he started cursing. In English, Japanese, Italian, and a few languages Fia didn't know. She stumbled sideways, and it was only the brown haired boy's quick reflexes that stopped her from hitting the ground "Papa. I..I…oh…" her vision darkened and she went limp in the boys arms.
Reborn jumped into action as soon as his daughter lost consciousness. "Tsuna, bring her inside. I'm calling Shamal now. Find some towels, and see if you can stop some of the bleeding."
Tsuna asked no questions and immediately picked the admittedly light girl up. She was rather pretty despite the blood. She had mid-back length black messy hair with two pieces on either side of her face that curled upwards much like Reborn's sideburns though not as dramatic, and a set of bright emerald green eyes. Her hair was tangled and covered in blood much like her jeans and gray t-shit were. He was silently glad for Reborn's hellish training, because he knew he wouldn't have been able to lift the girl up without it, even if she was lighter than she should be. He lay her down and rushed to get some towels.
Moments later, he rushed back and started cleaning her up. He was hesitant to even think about removing Fia's shirt, but he had to know if she had any wounds that were life-threatening. As embarrassed as Tsuna was, the girl's life was more important, so he took a deep breath, his eyes turned orange, and he gently removed her shirt. He growled lowly at all the scars, but pressed the closest towel against the slice on her right side. "Come on Shamal. Hurry up. I may know basic first aid from taking care of myself so Mama didn't have too, but she needs a doctor."
Reborn rushed back inside the room, and instantly grabbed a towel to help stop the bleeding. "Reborn? Who is she? She wasn't speaking Japanese, but I recognized your name, and considering what she looked like I figured she needed you."
Reborn looked into the currently orange eyes of his student. His gaze was sharp, piercing, and despite Reborn's poker face Tsuna knew he was almost sick with worry and rage. Not a simple annoyance or anger, but a rage that let Tsuna see the Hit man Reborn was capable of being for the first time. Really see it in his eyes. He took a deep breath. "She is my daughter." Tsuna's eyes went wide when Reborn gave his answer in a fully adult voice. Tsuna could count on one hand and still have three fingers left over how many times Reborn had lost the baby voice in place of his real one. It was a sign that all the Hit man's normally controlled emotions were slipping out of his grasp.
Tsuna had known about Reborn having a daughter for a little over three months, but he hadn't ever seen her, or asked about her. She was Reborn's and Reborn would share when he wanted to, so Tsuna waited. To think, she had come to him…Tsuna's eyes narrowed. "Something is wrong." His eyes narrowed a little more at the girl's wounds.
"What?" Reborn asked.
Tsuna didn't even notice the sharp gaze his tutor fixed him with. "Her wounds…" his eyes widened "they won't stop bleeding! It hasn't slowed at all!" Reborn's eyes snapped down to his daughter's wounds, and he started cursing all over again. "Reborn, can you use your flames on her?"
Reborn stopped cursing long enough to answer "No…I can't heal anything, because I don't know exactly what's wrong. I could heal something wrong, and kill her."
Tsuna growled and asked "Can you at least slow the bleeding?"
Reborn's eyes narrowed as he thought. Could he? He couldn't actually heal anything until Shamal- who had better get his ass over here now or Reborn would kill him- got there, but maybe if he… Reborn's hands started to glow a bright and shining yellow, and he placed them over his daughter's heart. Tendrils of yellow spread over his daughter's body under watchful black eyes, and seemed to fill in where her skin would go. He didn't heal the skin, but he let his Sun Flames replace it.
Reborn almost fell off his daughter's stomach when he felt her own Sun Flames rise up to touch his own. He almost had a heart attack when he realized that in order for her to have scars while she had the Flame of Healing… His black eyes narrowed in fury. Someone was going to die in the most painful way he could think of. He had known she was abused, but he hadn't known she had Sun Flames.
Even as angry as Reborn was he allowed only his love for Fia to bleed into his flames, and he smiled a little when he felt her own love swell through her flames and bleed into his. It had been a hard won love, and it made him swell with joy and love every time he felt it or Fia acknowledged it. When Remus- who he hadn't seen for years- showed up and told him with no uncertain terms Fia was his child, Reborn had been surprised.
The last time he had seen Remus was just before Lily had her child, and just after his curse had taken effect. Remus, James, Lily and Sirius had known he lived a dangerous life, and had to follow his Boss' orders always, and Reborn knew they had a power that wasn't flame related. They had shared some secrets, and had kept each other's as if they were their own. For Remus to show up and claim Fia was his daughter had floored him a little. Reborn had asked- politely- if a blood test could be done, and the results had been a positive match. After it was confirmed, Reborn immediately decided to get to know his daughter.
It had taken patience he didn't know he had until his daughter had needed him to have it, and long conversations for her to open up to him even the amount she had, because he knew she still hid things from him. It had taken even longer- waking her from night terrors, and sitting with her, running his hands through her hair, murmuring comfort, offering her a steady rock, just going with her on her shoulder and talking about nothing- for her attachment to turn into trust and love. She had explained she was on the run from a crazy manipulative old goat, and she may have to leave unexpectedly, and he had told her in no uncertain terms that all she ever had to do was ask and he would help- it had taken him awhile to get used to Fia's independent nature, but he accepted it was a part of her he'd have to learn to work around- no questions asked, at any time. The smile that she had given him…the utter adoration as she told him "I know, and I love you for it." Made everything he had ever done to get to that moment worth it.
His entire face had lit up with a genuine smile and he had whispered almost reverently "I love you too, my Flame." She had immediately gathered him into her arms and hugged him. He knew how difficult it was for her to say that. Reborn knew she had been abused, and sometimes she would tell him where a scar came from if he asked at the right moment in just the right way, and the fact that she trusted him enough to tell him she loved him, and trusted that he wouldn't hurt her with that information…it had been the best moment of his life. When Fia's birthday had come around he had asked Remus to make him a portkey to give to Fia that would allow him to keep his silent promise of help at any time. Remus had enchanted the necklace for him so it would be a portkey only she could take off or even move.
As he stated at his injured daughter he had never been so glad for that gift. "Where is that bastard?" he hissed to himself. He wanted Fia in perfect condition now, so he could find out who the hell had the balls to hurt his daughter, and kill them so they couldn't do it again. The only thing keeping him from leaving to find Shamal was the knowledge that he alone was keeping the blood inside her body. Just as he was about to tell Tsuna to hunt down Shamal and drag him here, he came inside at a dead run.
Shamal wasn't an idiot, despite what he made others think. When Reborn had called him up and told him to get his ass down to Tsuna's house now, because his daughter was bleeding all over the couch with his real voice, Shamal has dropped everything and jumped into the nearest available car. He had only met Fia a couple of times- for the blood test, and various appointments to correct the numerous signs of abuse he could see with the help of Reborn's Sun Flames- but he liked the kid, she was a sweetheart, and he knew Reborn would go on a rampage no one but Fia herself could stop him from if she were to die because he didn't get there in time starting with him.
When he got to Tsuna's home he jumped out of the car and ran inside. He was horrified to see Reborn glowing with Sun Flames. It had to be horrible if Reborn was risking Sun Flames without knowing what was wrong. Fia was pale and he could see slashes of bright yellow all over her body, and he knew each yellow area was an injury he would have to fix. His medical training took over and he asked for any information he could be given. Reborn told him Fia wouldn't stop bleeding and the only thing that was stopping her from bleeding out was his Sun Flames. Shamal cursed softly and started running every test he could.
When he knew what had to be done he turned to Reborn "We have to do this in stages, starting with the worst first. You're going to have to keep the rest of the wounds from bleeding out. You understand?"
Reborn gave a hard nod and focused back on his flames slowly pulling the flames from the slash on her stomach when he got an OK from Shamal. His eyes snapped to his daughter's face in shock when he felt her Sun Flames reach further into him and touch his mind. Her quiet, weak voice echoed in his head ~Papa…Shamal won't be able to stop the bleeding. It's caused by Magic, and it's not supposed to stop. ~
He knew she could feel his horror as he asked ~So I will be forced to watch you bleed out in my student's living room? ~
She wavered a moment before he felt her resolve harden ~No Papa. You're going to need Uncle Skull's multiplying ability…You may need all the Arcobaleno's help, and a Dying Will to overpower the magic. I can't help you, I'm sorry. ~
He could see where she was going with this and he sent her reassuring feelings as his resolve hardened ~It's fine my Flame. Just hold on for me. We will help you. ~
He felt her resolve harden further even as she faded from his mind ~Hurry Papa… ~
Instantly he reached for the bond all the Arcobaleno shared, and sent his feelings across it. In any other case he would never bare such feelings to anyone but Fia and possibly Tsuna, but his daughter's life was on the line and he would walk into Hell for her and stay. This was the only way he could think of to get all the Arcobaleno to come to him right now. He could feel the shock coming from all the other Arcobaleno as well as the instantaneous pull as they all used their bonds like a portkey and appeared in the living room. It took all of two seconds for the Arcobaleno to take in the scene of Reborn and Shamal hovering over Fia, their Fia, for the tension to increase. "Who did this?" it was a quiet whisper from Fon with all the power of the Storm he represented in it.
Reborn snarled lowly as he worked Sun Flames around Shamal's hands to slow the bleeding. "I don't know, but I need your help. Do you remember Lily?" He got sharp nods in reply "Do you remember her abilities?" he got another round of nods "Someone with those abilities did this to Fia, and she told me her wounds wouldn't stop bleeding no matter what Shamal did. We have to overpower whatever was done to her with our flames and then we have to heal her." Instantly the six other pacifiers around the Arcobaleno's necks lit up with their resolve to help Fia. Reborn turned his eyes to Shamal "I need a diagnostic Shamal, and I need it now." Shamal didn't question anything he had just heard, he would worry about it later, and he listed everything he had found.
Shamal moved out of the Arcobaleno's way as their Flame output increased and seven sets of hands found a place to rest on Fia. Tsuna watched everything with wide brown eyes, but didn't dare to say or do anything to interrupt. Eventually the rainbow of light blended to white and Shamal and Tsuna were forced to look away. When the light faded, Reborn snapped "Skull. I need you to come here and multiply her skin cells. I have to heal all the inner damage, while you deal with the outer, Fon I need you to continue to use you disintegration ability and get rid of anything that tries to stop the healing, Colonnello use the Tranquility to dull any discomfort, Verde if we lose her shock her back to us, Mammon reinforce Fia's perception that there is no pain. Ready?" Six nods answered Reborn and they instantly went to their assigned tasks.
Thirty minutes later everything was fixed up and the Arcobaleno collapsed where they were standing. Fia on the other hand surged to a sitting position with a gasp. Her deep emerald eyes flashed around the room and she relaxed. "Oh Thank God. She reached around on both sides of her to gather all seven Arcobaleno in a hug. "Thank you." She whispered into her father's fedora.
The response was immediate "You are welcome Little Flame" only her father used "My Flame"
Fia was falling back to sleep, and tightened her grip on her family while she slurred an apology "I'm sorry `bout the blood…"
"It's fine my Flame. Sleep. I'll be here in the morning."
"Kay Papa. Will everyone be here?" Everyone gave variations of yes except Verde and Mammon who said they'd drop by later.
"Kay…" and she slipped into sleep.
