Love y'all, sorry for the long wait! And it's kinda short...
When Harry woke up, he felt a surge of panic. First of all, he didn't know where he was. And secondly, all he could see was the dark, unfeeling grayness that was illuminated by the small lamp. Straining his ears, Harry could hear anxious muttering from a point beyond the walls he was enclosed in. Moving his hands, he discovered they were bound to the arms of a metal chair and his feet to the legs of the chair. Quenching his urge to panic, Harry tried to think of a reason why he was there and a way to get out. All he remembered was running into the blonde lady who wanted to kill him, then meeting the blonde pumpkin, and the pink girl who..pounded him on the head. Harry groaned loudly and he heard the conversation outside stop. When he froze, the conversation started back up again.
"Okay, plan..plan.." He mumbled looking around. He didn't have his wand…but earlier he had done some wandless magic. Sighing, he looked down sadly. Doing wandless magic really took his energy away, but he figured it would be fine. Closing his eyes, he concentrated on the locks and after thinking the spell, the clamps fell away and he stood up, wincing.
"What was that?" He heard a loud voice boom out and he froze. Hearing someone jiggle the door handle, Harry panicked. As soon as the door opened, he threw the dimly lit lamp towards the newcomer and hightailed out of there. He could hear shouts of surprise behind him, but he paid them no heed.
"GET HIM!" A loud voice commanded and Harry cursed when they all gave chase.
"Bloody hell!" He screamed as he ran outside the building. People passing by stopped and looked at him, chattering excitedly. He dodged them and ran for cover. "Treeeees!" He shouted breathlessly. He stumbled a bit, but once he reached the covers of the tree, he closed his eyes and shifted. In his place was a black panther with green eyes and a small scar. Harry let out a small growl and began running again. Finding a good, sturdy tree, he hopped on it and tried to blend in with the shadows.
"Where'd he go?" He heard his chasers ask from below the tree and resisted the urge to look down. They started arguing and finally, they left him. Sighing, Harry started changing back when a voice spoke next to his ear.
"Yo." Letting a yowl out, Harry fell off the tree and landed on his feet, teeth bared. The silver haired man waved one hand lazily and jumped down with him. "Saw you running away." Harry snarled at him and batted a clawed paw at the man. Kakashi let out a short chuckle before sitting down. "I have a compromise I want to make with you. You don't want to be contained and interrogated, right?" He waited for Harry's nod before continuing. "I'm curious about your fighting skills. Now, if you let me, I can convince the Hokage to let you stay with me." When Harry bared his teeth, Kakashi held up his hands. "You'll be able to do whatever you want provided you don't harm anyone. All I ask of you is to give me an hour of your time." Harry looked at the silver haired man uncertainly before shifting back.
"And what will I be doing?"
"All you'll be doing is sparring with me." Harry bit his lip and shook his head.
"What do you mean sparring?" Kakashi shrugged and leaned back passively.
"I just want to see what you can do, what your abilities are. I also want to see if you're a danger to the village."
"And if I was?" Harry held his breath as Kakashi looked up slowly. A terrifying smile lit up the silver haired man's face and he chuckled humorlessly.
"Then I'll take care of you."
Harry was bored. He had agreed to go with the crazy silver head but now he was regretting it. All his arrival did was bring up arguments. Harry had stopped listening when it kept repeating. "Hi!" Cursing, Harry fell sideways off of the chair. Looking up, he groaned when the bright hair blinded him.
"Naruto. What are you doing here?"
"I'm waiting for the verdict! Obaa-chan is arguing a lot with Danzo because he wants to cut you open and-"
"WHAT?" Harry screeched.
"I said obaa-chan is arguing with Danzo."
"I HEARD THAT! WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO CUT ME-"
"SHHHHH!" Naruto slapped a hand that smelled like chicken broth to Harry's mouth. "They think you're a criminal even though your name isn't in the book." Before Harry could ask about the book, the door flew open and the blonde woman waltz out.
"You're free to go! Kakashi!" The silverette looked up from his book and slowly stood up. "Take him away." Harry couldn't help but feel apprehensive as the man got closer.
"Why do I feel like I just sealed my doom?" He muttered. There was an odd twinkle in Kakashi's eye that reminded Harry of a certain professor he had before. "Yep, I was right."
"AHHHHH!" Harry shrieked as a Kakashi threw a pointy thing at him. Another Kakashi sent a blast of wind towards Harry and he shrieked again. "WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OF YOU?" Harry wailed as he tried to hide.
"You could fight back you know." The original Kakashi told the screaming wizard as he read a book. Kakashi nonchalantly turned the page and continued reading.
"I don't know how toooo!" Harry screamed as a knife embedded itself next to Harry's ear. "Hogwarts did NOT train me for this." He muttered before doing a backflip as a Kakashi tried to punch his head. When Harry landed on the clone, it disappeared. Thinking, Harry grinned and began running again. He saw the remaining two clones charge for him and at the last minute, he jumped up, causing the two to collide and vanish. "I DID IT!" He cheered, turning to grin at the man. Kakashi didn't look at him as he did some hand signs and three more popped up. "REALLY?"
"I won't stop until you use jutsus." Kakashi closed his book and stuck it back into his vest. He stared at Harry expectantly.
"For the last time, I don't know what jut- AHHHH!" Harry ducked as a fist sailed over his head. Cursing, he glared at the three clones. "Which spell, which spell?" He grumbled, racking his brain for a spell. "Got it! CONFRINGO!" Harry closed his eyes and waved his hand. A roar of flames latched onto the oncoming clones and they all disappeared. "Hap..pp..yy?" Harry groaned before falling down, his energy gone.
When Harry came to, a pair of brown eyes were staring into his. "What are you?"
"ARGH!" Harry gasped as he leapt back, falling off the bed as he did so. "You creeper!"
"Maaaaaaa." Kakashi stood up and sat down in the chair. The two of them stared at each other in silence before Harry broke it.
"What exactly do you want?"
"I want to study you."
"…That sounds really really weird." Harry looked away. "But why?"
"The Maho Clan." At Harry's blank stare, Kakashi sighed. "I think you might be part of that clan."
"Where are they?"
"Gone." Harry stared at Kakashi expectantly and the silver haired man groaned. "I suppose you want to hear the story right?" Harry nodded. "Well…you'll have to wait because it's time for my daily walk."
"WHAT?" Harry lunged at the chuckling man and as soon as his hands came into contact with Kakashi, the air around them thinned and Harry felt a familiar tingle going up his spine. "Not again." He groaned as the bedroom shifted around them.
