~Hello one and all. Welcome to my second chapter of The Truth About Harry Potter. I shall now apologize ahead of time for the long wait to get chapter posted and can only hope that you'll find it within yourself to forgive this poor writer… :)

Ps… I'm not to fond of this chapter so you'll have to forgive me if it dosen't sound right… The next chapter should be much better.

~Chapter Two,~

~Gringotts~

The two Shinigami slowly prepared their selves for the new school year. It was a painstaking process learning an entire world's culture in a few days. Plus they also needed to go shopping, which was where they were at now.

"Captain, Why do I need to come here?" Ruishi asked for the fifth time as they walked through street after street.

"We need to find a place called Diagon Alley. We can get all of our shopping done their. But where to find it. Uahara said that we need to find a bar called the Leaky Cauldron in London."

"A bar? Who would hide an entire world be hind a bar?" Ruishi asked in amazement.

"Hmm, lets see… Uahara, these Wizards, Kyouraku, me, and basically anyone who had sense. I mean who would look behind a bar?" Sarika asked as she turned to look at her subordinate, failing to notice the man behind her. With a muffled swear the two people crashed, a tall dark looking man falling on the ground, and Sarika looking slightly confused as she watched the man. "What are you doing on the ground?" Sarika asked as she bent over the greasy haired man.

"Sensai." Ruishi said with a frown, "Let me apologize for my teacher's rude behavior," insert glare at said woman while Ruishi helped the man up, "She tends to walk before she looks."

The man looked up and sharply drew in a breath, "Potter!" He hissed.

"Yes, I am Harry Potter, though I would rather be referred to as Ruishi. And you are?"

The man looked off balance, and the woman next to him chuckled.

"You're gonna have to get used to being famous Gaki. It's a whole new outlook for you."

"Oh go get caught by the hunters, I heard that the new tech leader is looking for someone to dissect." Ruishi shot back.

"Gaki, you wound me." Sarika said with a hand over her eyes for dramatics, "Now only if the sky would drop a bit of light here."

"Are you drunk again Sensai?" Ruishi asked innocently.

"And why would I be drunk? That's Kyouraku role."

"Just thought I'd ask."

The man watched the two with growing frustration.

"Oh! I'm sorry let me introduce my teacher Sarika Niharu." Ruishi said to the man who sneered at them.

"I'm Severus Snape, your potions master Potter." Snape said to the boy.

"Nice glare you have. Nothing compared to Yamimoto's but its very close." Sarika pondered for a moment. "You wouldn't know where the Leaky Cauldron is at would you?"

"It's behind you." Snape said pointing at the building.

"Well, that's rather shabby."

"Yes, nice and old looking. Are you sure you want to hide things behind bars? They usually look like messes." Ruishi pondered as his Sensai walked into the leaky cauldron with an smile on her face. "Sensai! Wait up!" Ruishi called as he ran into the Leaky Cauldron. Leaving a very bewildered Snape behind.

Ruishi found Sarika sitting at the bar, arguing with the bar tender. As he walked up to them, Ruishi sighed at Sarika's choice topic.

"HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE SAKE!" Sarika yelled at the bartender, giving Ruishi enough time to sneak out with out drawing any attention. A few seconds later Sarika walked out of the bar, glass of sake in hand.

"I don't want to know where you got that." Ruishi deadpanned as Sarika tapped the wall in a specific order.

"Rule number one when travailing to foreign lands… Always keep your favorite foods with you as foreign places usually don't have them. Hence my bottle of sake. Always on hand. Oh and I managed too grab a thing of pocky for ya… Only one though."

Ruishi's head snapped up and he grinned as his Sensai tossed the box of pocky at him. He immediately opened the box and pulled out a single pocky and ate it, with a blissful smile.

"Oh and Gaki… You may want to take your time. You only have one box." Sarika said with a evil smile.

Ruishi turned and glared at her. "Why didn't you grab more Pocky?" He asked.

"Because, I only had room for one box… My sake was taking up the rest of the room."

Ruishi glared at his sensai and sighed… He knew it wouldn't work. "So where to first?" Ruishi asked.

"The bank of course. We need money in order to purchase the things you need."

Ruishi shook his head and sighed. "I make a brilliant guess and say that the rather large building in the end is the bank."

Sarika nodded, "Gringots, goblin bank."

The two walked toward the bank in a comfortable silence as they watched their surroundings. It couldn't hurt to be a bit paranoid. Once they reached the bank they stepped in, ignoring the sign on the door. Spells could be written and they did not want to be ensnared.

It was hard for them not to stand and gape at the inside of the building, once they were inside. It was like most banks except it had gold and silver decorations running the entire lodge. It also was a lot larger than an average bank in the soukai.

"Wow." Ruishi breathed as his sensai agreed with a "Pretty."

They walked up to the counter. The goblin looked at them. "What can I do for you?" The goblin asked not looking very pleased with his job.

"Where here for money for the gaki here." Sarika said nodding down at Ruishi. Ruishi responded with a glare.

"Your name?"

"Harry Potter."

You could hear a pin drop in the silence.

"Do you have your key?"

Ruishi looked up at Sarika. "Do you have it?"

"And why would I have your key?"

"I thought Uahara told everything you needed?"

"Well, Uahara did mention a key… but he didn't know where it was…"

"You two are horrible when it comes to organizing aren't you?"

Sarika merely glared at her subordinate as the goblin watched in amusement. "Watch what you say Gaki. I might not be so kind when we train." It was said harshly but with amusement.

The goblin coughed lightly and the two turned toward with twin grins on their faces.

"Ahh, sorry." Ruishi said with a light glare directed at his sensai. "My sensai dosen't know where my key is."

The goblin frowned as he looked through the paper work on his desk. "It says here that you were supposed to have you key owled to you as soon as you got your Hogworts letter."

"I have not gotten my key yet."

The goblin muttered softly under his.

"I take it that the old man has my key?" Ruishi asked softly, furious with the old man. (Cookies to who ever can guess who it is….)

The goblin nodded, "Griphook!" He yelled before turring back to Ruishi. "Griphook is the Potter's accoutant manager. He will sort out any wrongs committed to you."

Griphook walked up.

"Take these two to the Potter acoutant room."

"That wont be nessisary, Ruishi can go by himself. I however will need to get to the shinigami valt."

This caused both golblins to stop in fear. "Th…The Shinigami valt?" The teller asked.

"Yes…" Sarika sighed. "The valt of death, the doomesay valt, or my favorit, the grim reeper valt."

The fear written on the two goblin's faces was quite amusing. "D…Do you have a Zanbatou?" The teller asked.

"Of course, but it is hard to get to in a gigia. Ruishi will you show these goblins your Zanbaktou?"

Ruishi nodded and reached for a small blade on his side. He pulled it from it's sheath and smiled. "This." He said nodding at the small dagger, "Is Shining Phenoix. She is my Zanbaktou. She's fire based."

The two goblins looked at each other before looking at the two shinigami in front of them. They were grinning, but their eyes were dark. The same dark as other warriors. Of those who have seen death and suffering. Griphook then nodded and motioned the two Shinigami to follow him.

The cart ride was amusing as the entire time was spent with the two shinigami daring each other to do more and more suicidal things. The most memorial was when Ruishi dared Sarika to run in front of the cart as it sped down the track. She did, jumping off the cart and takingoff down the track. Griphook had yelled at Sarika when they met up at the Potter valt.

"Relax." Was her response. "We do things like that all the time."

That made the goblin mumble under his breath about suicidal shinigami trying to give him a heart attack. Ruishi had sat and laughed as the goblin and his sensai glared at each other.

It had not taken them much longer to get the money and letters from the two valts and head back to the surface. With the two shinigami talking furiously in Japanese.

They left Gringots still speaking in Japanese. Now it was time to shop.
