I don't own Harry Potter or Hakkenden

-'Better keep an eye on him to see which he ends up being' Murasame told Shino. "By the way, we should only call each other by the names that we are more familiar with in private as to not confuse the other students at the school Shino," Ron said this in the way that remembered both Shino and Murasame of Sosuke when he was reprimanding Shino for getting in trouble. "That's true. I wonder why it is that you don't remember past the plague because you survived it." Shino left the 'In two different people' part unsaid. Shino just remembered the present that was left in the vault. Pulling it out he opened the card first. It read Dear Harry, Happy Birthday. We are so proud of you going to Hogwarts and learning Magic. We really hope that we will be there when you leave but there is the possibility that we won't be. If that is the case then no matter what happens and what house that you are put in we always love you. We really hope that if we aren't that Sirius or Remus are taking good care of you and that you don't live with you magic-hating aunt and uncle but the protection that will activate if we die might make it so that you have to. And no matter what people tell you, Sirius is innocent and Peter is the secret keeper and a rat animagus. If you don't know them Sirius black is a dog animagus and your godfather and Remus Lupin is your dad's friend and a werewolf. With Love your Mom and Dad. P.S. the present was your mom's idea. Opening the box next was a necklace. It had only one bead on it. A red bead with the symbol of devotion on it. Murasame recognized the bead at the same time as Ron did. "Isn't that the bead that you were born with?"

"Yeah. Maybe it is possible that I had it again when I was born." The-Boy-Who-Lived answered. "Maybe. By the way whose the bird." The redhead asked. "This is Murasame. He's a friend that I meet after the plague."

"Really. I remember that there was a legend that I heard I while I had been traveling before my mother had fallen sick about a demon sword by the same name." The two friends spent some of the train ride talking and filling each other in on what has been happening in their current lives. Each time that Ron tried to ask about what happened after the plague Harry shut him down saying that it would be better if he either remembers or never knows to say that it could be a blessing or a curse in designs that he did know what happened. At one point the kid that Harry had met in Diagon Ally showed up. This time though he introduced himself as Draco Malfoy with two kids that were introduced as Crabbe and Goyle. He and Ron got in a fight. 'Ya know one could very well be Ao and the other Sosuke with how they are going at each other.' Murasame said. 'I say that Ron is Ao.'

'Why' Harry asked. 'Because Draco said that he could show you the right kind. That could very easily be him warning you that he is Ao and he is trying to warn you about it.' Mursame explained. 'Ture but it could be the other way too. That Draco is Ao and Ron is Souske and Ao is trying to lure me into a trap.' The rest of the way was in silence. Shino was zoned out all the way to the castle. He zoned out until the Sorting hat started to sing "Oh you may not think I'm pretty,

But don't judge on what you see,

I'll eat myself if you can find

A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your bowlers black,

Your top hats sleek and tall,

For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat

And I can cap them all.

There's nothing hidden in your head

The Sorting Hat can't see,

So try me on and I will tell you

Where you ought to be.

You might belong in Gryffindor,

Where dwell the brave at heart,

Their daring, nerve, and chivalry

Set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff,

Where they are just and loyal,

Those patient Hufflepuffs are true

And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,

If you've a ready mind,

Where those of wit and learning,

Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin

You'll make your real friends,

Those cunning folks use any means

To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!

And don't get in a flap!

You're in safe hands (though I have none)

For I'm a Thinking Cap!" After the round of applause, Harry zoned out. Murasame, however, paid attention to what house Draco went into to see if that gave any indication as to who he was. It didn't. When Harry was called up people around the Great Hall started to talk and whisper to each other as to why there was a crow on his shoulder when he should be in a cage and why a crow of all things. "Well, what do we have here. Shino Inuzaka and the demon sword Murasame. Well well, this year might just be interesting. Now, where will you go? Smart from traveling, loyal to friends and family, courage from a want to protect and cunning picked up from a demon. None will budge where do you want to go?" a voice asked. Harry and Murasame figured out who it was. "Where would be best?" Harry asked. "Griffindor or Slytherin. Those traits are the strongest there is. Perhaps Griffindor. Ask Binns about the legend. Good Luck" The word Griffindor was yelled out loud. Harry removed the hat after he stopped talking and walked over. The two twins just smirked like they knew that it was going to happen and nodded their heads in his direction as an indication that they knew and went back to talking to the person next to them. Thinking about why everyone that knew who he was kept telling him to ask this professor Binns about the legend around him he didn't notice till Ron sat down next him that the sorting had ended and the food was on the table. After the speech by the headmaster that Murasame agreed must be color blind and insane and the feast they left for the tower led by the perfect. When the poltergeist showed up it freaked out when it saw Murasmae and left. Not that any of the students noticed this they were all ducking to avoid what was being thrown. The perfect that introduced himself as Percy Weasley told them the rules and things they went off to bed. 'Murasame why do you think that we keep being told to ask about the legend. Do you think that it is something bad? I'd hate for our story to make people think that we're bad people.' Shino asked laying on the bed and staring at the ceiling. 'I'm sure that it is nothing but a story. We know that. Draco got into Slytherin. That doesn't mean that he can't be Sosuke as our actions can make us different. It is possible that he is just ambitions to protect you and cunning comes into play when he needs to get you to listen. Go to sleep,.'

'Okay. Good night Murasame.'

'Good night, Shino.'

- In the Room of Requirement-

"So it's settled then Shino, Murasame, Sosuke, Ao, Shinobu, Nachi and Hamaji are here?" A voice asked. "Yes for the fifth time Kaname. They are here. The Map doesn't lie. Rio is keeping an eye on Sosuke and Nachi. You, me and Genpachi are in charge of the others. Dosetsu has been notified about what is happening." Kabongo said. "We need to keep an eye on Professor Quirrell. According to the Map Voldemort is with him. Ayane is keeping an eye on him too. Worst case scenario we wait till next year to have Keno and Daikaku's help with him." Genpachi said. "Let's head back. By the way, has he remembered who he is?" Kaname asked. "No, but a good hit to the head should solve that. Just need to eliminate that rat. I wonder if Murasame wants to help with that." And with that, they walked away. The secret kept safe.

Hi sorry for not updating in a while. I was busy. Then I lost my flash drive and couldn't access what I had written. But I'm back now. Can anyone guess who Sosuke, Ao, Shinou, Nachi, Hamaji, Kaname, Rio, Kabongo, Genpachi, Ayane, Keno and Daikaku are? Sosuke will be revealed next time cause I want to write what he experienced during this. A hint on Kaname, Genpachi, and Kabongo: figure out what map they are talking about. For the people that don't like the rat, he won't be there for long. Just till the third year. I will try to update each week or every other week. Thanks for reading.
