WARNING: Same as last chapter

FEM!Harry. manipulative!dumbledore.

Homura asked the question that was on everyone's mind. "Hikage, why do you have a naked child with a scythe?"

"Found her," was Hikage's response

"Explain," Homura requested as she felt a headache coming.

"Came home from work," explained Hikage. "Found her here".

"You found her inside of our base?" asked Mirai, surprised. Getting a nod from the emotionless girl, Mirai started to panic. "If a little kid can find our base, what stopping Clandestine from doing the same thing?"

"Calm down," ordered Homura, her tone telling everyone that she was serious. "We don't know how long she've been in here, so we can't leave her at an orphanage. We also can't let her stay here because we wouldn't be able to afford another mouth to feed."

"She've isn't a word," toned in Haruka as she looked over the small child, frowning at the multiple bruises. "I wonder what happened"

"I noticed those too," said Hikage. Placing Rose onto the couch, Hikage moved back and let Haruka look at her. While she was a pervert and wasn't above using her teammate as guinea pigs, she was also the closest thing to a doctor that they had. "So what now?"

"I don't know," admitted Homura.

"Maybe we should ask the others for help?" suggested Yomi.

"You want to bring the others to our base?" asked Homura, surprised at such a suggestion.

"Do you have a better idea?" asked Yomi. Homura didn't answer her. She just sighed before walking out of the base. While leaving, she heard a strange conversation.

"These bandages?" asked Mirai.

"No, Those are the one that Homura wrap around her chest," answered Haruka.

"They look the same," pointed out Yomi. "How can you tell the difference?" there was a long period of silence before Yomi spoke again. "Good point". With a chuckle, Homura ran off to find the others.

The first group she got was the Hanzo Academy girls. Originally the plan was to only get Asuka, but the rest of them followed along. After promising to explain everything once they gather everyone, Homura and the Hanzo Shinobi split up. Asuka and her friends went to Gessen to get Yumi and the rest of her group while she went to her old school to get Miyabi and the other elites. As expected, Homura got a warm welcome from the other Clandestine Academy students. They were too weak to hurt her, so she ignored their attacks. "Why are you here?" asked Miyabi, curiosity in her tone.

"It's a long story," Homura said with a sigh. Blocking an attack from Miyabi, she continued. "Gather the rest of the elite and met me in front of Hanzo academy".

"Why do you need all of the elites?" asked Miyabi. While she didn't know the full story behind the 'crimson squad' expulsion, she was wary about trusting Homura.

"To be honest," Homura said, rubbing the back of her neck, "I don't need the rest of them, but knowing Asuka, she probably grabbed all of the Gessen's girls".

"And if we don't show up?"

"Then we go without you," said Homura with a shrug. "If I know what to do, I wouldn't be here".

"This is really important, isn't it?" asked Miyabi as she placed her weapon away.

"I'm taking a huge risk doing this," admitted Homura, following Miyabi's example and placing her weapons back into its sheath.

"Go ahead," said Miyabi as she turned back to the elite quarters. "It will take some time to get Murasaki out of her room".

"Remember, Hanzo academy," called out Homura before she left, stepping around the other shinobi she knocked out.

Homura wasn't surprised to find Asuka already back with the Gessen's girls. After greeting each other, she had to deal with having to explain to Yumi and the other that she'll explain when Miyabi showed up. As if she heard, Miyabi spoke up as she and the other Clandestine elites showed up. "Good thing I'm here then,"

"Follow me," Homura said before running off.

"So, what's going on?" asked Asuka. Taking a quick glance at the rest of the group, Homura saw that most of them were wondering the same thing.

"Long story short," said Homura before pausing. 'how am i suppose to explain this?' she decided to be blunt. "Hikage found a naked, ignored female child with a scythe sleeping inside the entrance of our base"

"WHAT?!" that was what she expected their reaction to be.

"Yeah, and we don't how long she've been there," said Homura. "We're at a lost as what to do".

"She've isn't a word," chimed in Yumi and Ikaruga at the same time.

"That isn't important," said Homura as she stopped in front as a cave. "In here". Homura didn't bother checking if the other followed her.

"When I said to get the others, I didn't mean every single one of them," said Yomi with a sigh.

"It wasn't the plan," said Homura. "How's the child?"

"She woke up," said Yomi, looking into another room. "Something happens to her".

"What make you say that?" asked Homura, aware that the the others, who were looking at their base, leaned in closer to hear her response. However, It was Hikage that answered the question.

"Her eyes," she said, "They were empty, dead".

"Can I see her?" asked ryobi. While she hoped it wasn't the case, it sounded similar to how she and ryona was when they got the news about their sister, only worse. Maybe the girl saw a family member die in front of her. It didn't explain the fact she was naked, but she didn't want to think about what that might imply. After glancing at Homura, Hikage nodded and pointed to the same room that Yomi did. With a quiet thanks, she walked into the room and saw Haruka checking on the girl. "Haruka?"

"Ryobi?" replied a surprised Haruka. "I didn't expect to see you here".

"Can I talk to her?" asked Ryobi. Haruka was surprised that Ryobi was acting so differently, but nodded before leaving. "hey, can i ask a question?"

The girl stared at her with the 'dead eyes' Hikage spoke about before nodding. "Can you tell me your name?"

"The people at school call me Rose Potter," said Rose, gripping the scythe closer to her body. "My relatives calls me Girl, Freak, Witch among other things."

"What do you mean by relatives?" said Ryobi, worried about the answer.

"My uncle, aunt and cousin," answered Rose.

"Did your parent do anything about them?"

"No," said Rose.

"Why not?"

"According to my relatives, they died in a car crash," said Rose, her body practically wrapped around the scythe.

"Okay, can you answer one more question?" Rose gave a small nod in response. "Did your relatives abuse you?"

the question caused Rose to freeze before shaking. She kept repeating the words, "I'm sorry, please stop" and other similar phrases.

"They're not here," said Ryobi, gently hugging the small child. "I'm going to talk to my friends now. I'll be back soon". Walking into the other room, Ryobi noticed that most of them was looking at her in surprise. "What?"

"I didn't expect you to act like that," said Imu. "I mean you're normally more...violent".

"Just because I'm a sadist doesn't mean I don't have a heart," said Ryobi, offended.

"So what did you learn?" asked Miyabi.

"Well..."

End of chapter two. Hope you enjoy this chapter. As I said to a person that reviewed this story, I don't have a set schedule. I followed more of a flash of inspiration style. If I have an idea, I write it down. Sometimes I have multiple ideas at once and take a while to update stories. Please don't be upset if I don't update for a while. I might have another chapter by tomorrow or it might take me until march. Thanks for everyone being so patient with me.
