Konohagakure no Sato few weeks after when Minato and Izanami renter back to the village (A/N: this chapter is based off Ultranumb By Kushinada Uzumaki, What if? By finnie200, and His Dark Lady By: I Appear Missing )

After their honeymoon Izanami started in the process of training a new recruit to take her place as the Neko ANBU. Uzuki Yūgao, one of Kushina Uzumaki's former student. Who wanted to join the ANBU. once her training under Kushina was over. Izanami had finally decided to resign from ANBU and become a jōnin.

If she recalled correctly, Yūgao had been a skilled ANBU captain, trained under Kakashi and Kushina for years, and was one of Konoha's best Kenjutsu masters. rumor says that Yūgao is engaged to Gekkō Hayate.

Still, it would be another month or two before she could retire from ANBU, and finish readying Yūgao for her new duties as Cat.

Minato also supported her decision to leave ANBU, especially now that Izanami can go back to studying and master, all the arts of magic. And see to her lovely garden and zoo. Izanami thought as she heard."Sensei, sorry I'm late," Yūgao began, looking down shamefully. "I sharpening my katana, and I lost track of time."

Izanami looked at her student, a slight frown on her face, coming from her thoughts with a start. She hadn't even noticed Yūgao was late, though only by five minutes. "Try to keep better track of the time, Yūgao, but it's alright. I've seen worse, believe me," she said, thinking of how often one of Minato students, Obito would be late for everything, the importance was what determined how long of a wait it would be.

Yūgao nodded, and Izanami smiled and drew out her own katana. That was personally crafted with her magic and using Goblin Steel to make the blade but secretly coating it with basilisk Venom making her sword one of the deadliest blades that ever been made. lucky she used a charm that nullified the venom for the time being whenever she sparse with her students.

"Now, let's see if the time spent sharpening your sword was worth it," Izanami said, and Yūgao brought out her own katana and fell into a stance.

It was Yūgao to make the first move, moving at impressive speeds towards Izanami. "Good, Yūgao, but you have to be a little freer when it comes to water jutsu," Izanami told her, remembering what Minato had told her of the water affinity.

Yūgao breathed heavily, and Izanami once more went through the hand seals.

"Watch again," she told Yūgao. "Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu (Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique)!"

She molded her chakra and magic together, as the water from the lake rose up once again. Yūgao watched with attention, but her gaze was drawn to her sensei when she heard a soft gasp, as Izanami begin to sway. Someone not trained to catch the small details wouldn't have noticed.

The water dragon splashed back into the lake as Izanami began to fall, losing consciousness on the way down.

"Sensei!"

Time Skip

Izanami woke to the white walls, floors, and everything else that came with being in a hospital. She groaned, hating being cooped up in a hospital.

"I see you're awake," Tsunade said, amused at Izanami's continued dislike of hospitals. "You had your student worried, Izanami-chan."

"Sorry, is Yūgao okay?" she asked.

"She was here until a few minutes ago. She had to go meet up with Hayate, she said she'd come back later to see you," she said. "Now...how are you feeling?"

"Fine," Izanami said, sitting up.

"Good. Minato will be here soon, I imagine," she said. "But until then, I do have to talk to you."

"Okay," Izanami-chan said, and Tsunade nodded, looking at the clipboard she held.

"I don't know if you're aware of this, Izanami-chan, considering you haven't come in I doubt you do...but you're pregnant." When Izanami heard that news her eyes widen as her whole world stop she… was pregnant, she was going to be a mother.

Several seconds later she was interrupted from her thoughts by the entrance of one worried Minato Namikaze.

"Izanami-chan!" Minato exclaimed, practically jumping onto the bed in order to hug his lovely wife.

"You're alright," Minato muttered to himself as if seeing her alive and well kept him from completely losing it.

Izanami smiled at her husband and said. "I'm sorry for worrying you Minato-kun, but I do have news though."

"I'll leave you two alone," Tsunade said. "I'll talk to you about scheduling another appointment later."

Minato glanced at Tsunade and Izanami, wondering what the other blonde woman meant. Pulling over a chair, Minato sat at his wife bedside, taking her free hand into his own.

"So, what's the news?" he asked and Izanami bit her lip.

"Well...I don't know how to say this, so I'll just say it, I'm pregnant."

Minato's eyes grew several sizes, so much so Izanami feared they may pop out of his head. She'd never seen him so surprised.

Minato finally grinned, as he leaned closer to his beautiful wife and pulled her into a deep passionate kiss.

"We're going to have a baby?" he asked, and Izanami nodded.

He grinned and kissed Izanami briefly once again.

Izanami was allowed to leave the same day, and the small family returned home.

Yūgao had come back to visit her, and Izanami had told her she was fine. She didn't want to publicly announce her pregnancy, she would admit she was a bit frightened on how the enemy Shinobi Villages will take the news of her pregnancy.

The next day she was placed off active duty by her own husband the Hokage, though she would finish up Yūgao's training, though with a less active role, and more of a teaching through words. It wouldn't take but a week or two more, Yūgao was pretty much ready to take her place as the Neko ANBU.

On the third day when she met Yūgao for training she told her student that she was pregnant. That this would be her last mission of sorts until after she had the baby, and she felt ready to return to duty. Though Minato had offered to let her retire as plenty of kunoichis in her situation chose to do.

She didn't want to retire though, so being placed off active duty was fine with her. Exactly two weeks after she found out she was pregnant. she presented their ANBU mask to Yūgao, a bright smile on her face.

"You've been a great student, Yūgao. You'll be fine in ANBU."

Yūgao smiled as she held the mask in her hands. "Thank you, Sensei."

"Report to the Hokage, and he'll set the rest up for you," Izanami said, and Yūgao nodded.

The purple haired girl said a quick goodbye and left to report to the Hokage.

"Kakashi will make sure she settles into ANBU okay," a familiar voice said coming up behind her.

Izanami looked up and behind her to find Minato, dressed in his typical Hokage uniform. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she smiled.

"Thanks, love," she said. "Come on, let's go home. so I can prepare dinner."

Minato nodded. "Sure, let's go home."

Grabbing his hand after he'd pulled away from her, the two left the training ground for the Namikaze compound. For once both Izanami and Minato, who both had their own ghost in their pasts, we're looking forward to the future. But when both Izanami and Minato came back to the Namikaze compound only to be shocked not to find they're lovely compound they called home but it seems to be replaced by a very gorgeous an ancient looking Castle. There was this sensation that went through Izanami as the wards had welcomed her, the magic singing through her blood, rejoicing that she had come to add her own magic to them.

And to its heiress, the castle surrounded by the Trees of the village like something out of her dreams and books, despite its isolated and fortified appearance it was so beautiful. a group of Shinobi's appeared next to the Hokage only to gape in shock seeing the gorgeous castle that's now taking place of the Namikaze compound. the group consists of Kakashi Hatake, Sakumo Hatake, Obito Uchiha, Tsunade Senju, Jiraiya and Orochimaru of the sannin, along with the former sandaime Hokage.

walking up to the gate Izanami noticed a piece of parchment sticking on the side of the gate with her name written beautifully on it. Taking the piece of parchment and begin to read out loud its contents.

To my lovely descendant,

I have Grant you one of the oldest and ancient castles of the family line, The Gryffindor Castle. That was supposed to be given to you on your 16th birthday. But due to the difference of this world in the current world, I used to reside in it took a long time for the castle to find you so now the castle is available to you and your family and those who you deem worthy to enter the castle no one will ever harm you while once you reside in this Castle. Also, I made Ensure that all the house elves that served in the family line now reside in this Castle. Due to the fact they need magic to feed and continue to live they need to bond with their Master. Since you are the current head of the family they will be bonded to you and your family soon to come. no one will ever harm you while once you reside in this Castle. Also, I made Ensure that all the house elves that served in the family line now reside in this Castle. Due to the fact they need magic to feed and continue to live they need to bond with their Master since you are the current head of the family they will be bonded to you and your family soon to come. Also, all the knowledge that's left behind in the family's libraries are now open to you and your family and all the ancient artifacts that you may find in this Castle are yours and your families alone. Also, be warned my descendant that several of the artifacts have been stolen from this castle by a man who thinks it's for the greater good. all you have to do is say the incantation all the properties that belong to the Potter, Peverell, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, to return to the rightful owner and all the artifacts will be flying towards you. until the next time, my descendant let the magic flow freely through you Morgana Lefay.

Once done reading everyone in the group looked at Izanami in shock as she walked over to a pillar and saw ruby on it. Izanami cut her finger with kunai and placed her blood on the ruby. As the door swung open there was the immediate sound of excited chatter. Izanami groaned, "The house elves are rather excited, I think they have been a bit lonely." Izanami said as she looked at the group of Shinobi's that even includes her husband.

As they passed through the arch the group of shinobis could all see about maybe 20 or 30 elves hopping around and almost vibrating with excitement. Once the group had been spied, the small elves nearly froze and Izanami was sure that one of them had all but fainted with excitement.

"Now everyone, these are the house elves from my family lines. We have Teasel who was not only mine and my "twin brother" nanny elf along with my "father's"; Polo is in charge of the kitchens; Whiskey was my grandfather's Charles Potter valet elf, as well as my no, go for nothing father's; Lommy is in charge of the rest of the house and Noddy is the garden and estates' elf. Now, everyone, I'm lady Izanami Le Fay, Peverell, Potter, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Namikaze and this my husband Minato Namikaze, Kakashi Hatake, Sakumo Hatake, Obito Uchiha, Tsunade Senju, Jiraiya and Orochimaru of the sannin, along with the former sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen."

The hall was the center of the site, a double height structure that spanned the entire width of the building with large windows down its two long sides. At either end were two large blocks of buildings, at one end the kitchens, stables and service end, whilst the other was the rooms for the family. Walking into the hall the group could see the door into these high quarters behind the table that had been raised on a dais, above the entrance end of the large room there was a large minstrels gallery. The room was decorated with carved wooden panels and tapestries.

"I hope we're not planning to eat in here on a day-to-day basis," Minato asked as he ran his fingers along one of the three long oak tables that ran up to the raised dais table. Izanami smiled as she agreed, "When there are only two of us and a baby coming along the way eating here it would seem a bit formal don't you think Minato-kun." Izanami asked her now blushing husband.

"Besides this room would have had to be able to fit all the village clans, all their allies, their guests and their servants if needed. It was also built so that if the enemy ever discovered the academy Hogwarts, the school could be temporarily evacuated here from what I read in one of my families old journals," Izanami said

"Really?" Kakashi asked with surprise.

"That was the plan. They were all so worried that a school of defenseless children being found if the wards or seals ever failed.

By this time Teasel had reappeared, without any tears in her eyes and looking rather embarrassed about her and her companions behavior.

"Does Master Namikaze and the Mistress want a tour?" She asked carefully pulling her ear down bashfully.

Izanami smiled, "Yes please, you know it far better than us. But please you can call me Izanami if you want."

Teasel hopped slightly, "This is being the main quarters." Heading towards the left-hand door she pushed it open, "This is the study for the Chatelaine." She pushed open the other door too, "And this is the study for the Steward."

"What is a 'Chatelaine'?" Orochimaru asked as he looked at the elf.

"Someone who is in charge of the house. It can be the lady of the house or it can be someone appointed by the Lord and Lady. Between the Steward and the Chatelaine the house is run properly."

Everyone nodded carefully as they looked into the rooms and saw the large desks and multiple books and shelves.

The tour continued in this manner with the group shown the formal and informal dining rooms, the solar, Morning Room, studies for the Lord and Lady, the bedrooms and dressing rooms as well as many other rooms of varied purpose but each beautifully decorated and furnished.

"What's that door?" Izanami asked, pointing at a small oak door that she had not noticed earlier.

The rest of the party all looked around, mystified by her question, Minato looked at his wife, "Izanami, we can't see a door, it may be that only you can see it as only you are a member of the family."

"Oh... Can I open it?"

Here Teasel cleared her throat carefully, "Mistress Izanami? That is being the door to the library and vaults. Only you are being able to go in but you can give permission if you wanted."

"Thank you Teasel!" Izanami said as she reached out a hand to the wooden latch on the door, flicking it up she pushed gently and the wood swung open.

Stepping into the darkness, Izanami flinched as the fire from torches on the wall sprung up.

"Holy mother of fucking Kami."

No other thoughts came to Izanami's head as she stared around, staggered by the size of it and the sheer amount of objects which occupied the room. There were piles of things everywhere. Objects that glinted due to the expensive materials they were made from were everywhere. Gold, silver, platinum, even metals that Izanami could not recognize. There were swords of all sizes, scabbards decorated with rare materials, shields, even staffs which would have been common at the time of the Founders and even later. Grandiose looking furniture and chairs in which some of the greatest wizards could have sat at. There was even a large pile of coins, which were neither galleons nor sickles or even knuts. There were grand statues in all corners, made of marble and such materials.

It was marvelous.

In the middle of it, all was an enormous Round Table. "Obviously not King Arthur's one, as it is rather plain, surprisingly."

The table was crafted rather well, yet it was not as splendid as the various objects throughout the room. On the table though, was a host of different items which entranced Izanami immediately and she dove forward to look at them. At the corner, Izanami was at there were many wands piled together that were all covered in dust.

"I wonder who they belonged to…"

Izanami summoned a few of the coins from the massive pile and, after wandless magic, and transfigured one of the coins into a large, albeit reasonably sized bag. She cast a few charms on the bag, such as it increasing the space on the inside, yet not making the bag bottomless and also charming it so that all the objects placed inside would be unbreakable. Izanami grabbed all of the wands and quickly scanned over them, before carefully putting them into the bag. They were all very beautiful and of exceptional craftsmanship. They were all unique.

"I have to find out the specifics of these wands and who owned them. They just seem to hum with power."

After putting the wands away, Izanami looked at the next thing that caught her attention. On the table was a stack of portraits, which Izanami brought in front of her to look at closely. There were 11 in total, and the first one both shocked her and excited her immensely.

It was a portrait of Godric Gryffindor.

He stood tall and proud, his head cocked to one side, his long hair flowing and both of his hands on the hilt of the legendary Sword of Gryffindor. A sword created from pure silver, with numerous rubies set into it, and created by the Goblin King, Ragnok the First. The sword had numerous enchantments and was an item Izanami was hoping to find somewhere in the room.

though the portrait looked to be taken when Godric was in his prime.

Godric's maroon robes, nothing like the horrible red that made up half of the colors of Gryffindor House, covered his burly frame. His eyes seemed to be a plain brown, yet they screamed arrogance and one of his eyebrows were upturned as if he was looking in derision at Izanami.

What was surprising to Izanami was that he looked as French as he did British. He had so many distinct French features and it was impossible to deny that he was of French lineage. "How that would shock the British and please France, although it clearly shows the stupidity of the English. It's even in his surname…Gryffindor. Gryffin d 'or, meaning golden griffin in English. Oh, how, families like the Weasleys and Potters will rue that noble, great Godric Gryffindor was a frog!"

His portrait, to Izanami's delight, was a live one which was not activated. "The information I can glean from a founder will aid me greatly. Gryffindor was supposedly the greatest duelist of his era. I will have to activate him, yet much later."

Izanami shrunk Gryffindor's portrait to a very small size and placed him inside the bag, intending to return the portrait to its original size and activate it much later.

The next portrait was that of Helga Hufflepuff.

She had a kindly demeanor about her, with a gentle smile on her face. She was slightly plump, although you could not say she was fat as history depicted her to be. "She is rather gifted though, I don't think I've seen a woman as gifted as her", thought Izanami, looking at her chest. He was just glad that her portrait wasn't currently activated.

She had a light shade of red as her hair color. "Thankfully, it's nowhere near Weasley red. It's more the color of a Bones", thought Izanami, remembering reading about Amelia Bones, the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and her niece, Susan, who was a fourth year Hufflepuff seemed to possess. "

Hufflepuff wore earth brown robes which just seemed to emit warmth, and in her hands, she held the famed, yet lost Cup of Helga Hufflepuff. It was a small golden cup with two wonderfully crafted handles on each side, with Helga holding the cup with one of the handles, and her other hand supporting the cup by its base. There was a badger engraved onto the side and there was even a few jewels inset. The cup was rumored to have numerous magical properties, such as being able to rid any drink of poisons and contaminations, and even being able to turn water into wine. "My, wouldn't the muggles love to get their hands on this cup…they would think it was the bloody Holy Grail."

Although she was thought of being a Welsh witch, it was obvious Helga had Scandinavian ancestry from looking at her features. Her figure indicated to that, as did her name. "I mean, can you get more obvious.

Izanami shrunk her portrait and carefully placed it in the bag next to Gryffindor's portrait. "I wonder how he will respond to me; I am his heir also Slytherin and Ravenclaw's."

Rowena Ravenclaw was the next founder Izanami was faced with.

"Fuck is she gorgeous," Izanami thought as she started to feel self-conscious for a bit.

Izanami was dazzled by the elegant, yet austere beauty that was Rowena Ravenclaw. Like the other founders, she seemed to be in her prime in regards to age. Her dark raven hair flowed in front of her shoulders rather than behind. Her face had a slightly stern expression on it and her dark blue eyes, so similar to the color of her house, pulsed with wisdom and intellect.

Surprisingly, Rowena wore dark green and black robe, though they were nowhere near the color of Slytherin. "They do fit her rather snugly."

What really attracted Izanami's attention, was what sat atop her forehead.

"The diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw", she whispered out in wonder. "This is possibly the greatest Founder's item. It's said to actually enhance the wisdom of the wearer."

Rowena was the only founder so far that looked purely British, and history proved to be true with the knowledge that she was a Scottish witch.

Izanami shrunk her portrait and carefully put it in the bag.

The last, but not least, in Izanami's mind was the one she was most excited to see.

"Salazar Slytherin." The name escaped her mouth, with no reverence hidden.

Salazar was a tall, intimidating man with a sneer on his face as he looked on imperiously at Izanami. Salazar was extremely handsome with long black hair that seems soft as silk.

"Slytherin's Locket."

He wore emerald green and black robes, with hints of silver and his robes as a whole embodied the colors of Slytherin House. If there was anyone Izanami wanted to talk to, it was Salazar Slytherin. He was known as the most skilled wizard in Legilimency and a master of the Dark Arts. The knowledge she could gain from Slytherin would be priceless. "And I can even convince him that I'm his heir with the use of Parseltongue."

The background of the portrait, as is synonymous with all the other portraits, was a backdrop of Hogwarts. "It actually looks slightly smaller ", thought Izanami.

And the last five portraits were the three Peverell brothers and her grandparents Charles Potter and Dorea Potter Nee black and the last two portraits where of Merlin and Morgana Le Fay. Izanami shrunk the final portrait and put it into the bag. "I'll only activate them after once me and Minato and everyone is done exploring the castle, and then I will be able to have sufficient time to have a long conversation with all of them. Even Hufflepuff."

Izanami left the table with bag in hand,

After much wandering about, Izanami finally stopped at a small table which was near a massive mountain of objects. There were various things on the small table, such as two golden globes, candles, jars full of various potion ingredients which Izanami made a note to come back for at a later date and other assorted items.

What really caught Izanami's eye though, was a beautiful black box that rested on the table. It was the type of box that usually housed something valuable and special. It looked very old, yet was in immaculate condition. On the front of the box, was a picture of a raven, one that looked exactly like the one depicted with Ravenclaw house.

"This must belong to the Ravenclaw line", thought Izanami excitedly. Her hands eagerly darted forward and she brought the box closer to her. With trembling hands, she slowly opened the box, still shivering with anticipation.

Izanami gasped out loud.

Inside the box, was a beautiful purple cushion that was of satin. That was not what gained her attention, though.

Resting on the cushion, was it.

The Lost Diadem of Ravenclaw.

It was the most exquisite piece of jewelry, in Izanami's opinion.

A golden diadem, which was a much better color than the typical silver ones. It was not even the slightest bit garish, to Izanami's surprise. It had numerous small diamonds inset into it, except for the middle, in which a large oval-shaped blue sapphire acted as a link between the two halves of the diadem. Two other sapphires, one circular and the other oval-shaped, hung from the main one, yet dangled freely and were not supported by the diadem. Etched onto the diadem, on the front side at the bottom and in clear view for everyone to see, even if a person wore it, were the words 'Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure'. But Izanami can sense something dark within the diadem it was disgusting and dark that was even making her sick and the fact it's actually making her scar hurt. Closing the small box and placing it in a separate bag. fearing that the corrupted magic in the diadem would destroy the soul fragments of the portraits.

Walking back to the room that was clearly a library, book stacked upon a books, parchment on parchment whilst in the center of the room were two book stands, approaching the closest Izanami flicked it open gently to reveal a catalog of books. Stepping back carefully she moved over to the second, looking at the heavy leather bindings and catches Izanami laid a hand on the middle catch. There was a sudden stabbing pain in her index finger as soon as she touched it and looking down at her finger, the heiress could see a little bit of blood welling up from a cut that the book must have made. Hearing a click Izanami looked down to see that all three of the large locks had sprung open, cautiously opening the first page, she read the large words that emblazoned it, 'Grimore of Godric Gryffindor. Meanwhile, outside the room, all the Shinobis were having a minor panic attack for as soon as Izanami had stepped into the room she had apparently vanished into the wall as did the sound of her heartbeat and her scent.

Hiruzen turned to Teasel, "The castle won't hurt Izanami will it?"

"Oh, not at all. Magical buildings like this are semi-sentient to a degree, whilst they aren't exactly able to communicate, they are aware of their owners and any dangers. The castle would never hurt her."

"Minato-kun?" Izanami called excitedly as she emerged once more from the blank wall face five minutes later.

"Please don't scare me like that again!" Minato said as he approached his wife, hugging her up and checking she was alright, immediately picking up the smell of blood, "Why are you bleeding?"

"Oh, it isn't bad, see? I touched a book and it took a little of my blood."

There was silence for a minute as everyone's body stiffened at the idea of there being some sort of dark book within the house that may harm Izanami.

Jiraiya maintained his level headed persona, "What was the book called?"

'The book was called Grimoire of Godric Gryffindor, the founder of my family line?" Izanami said with a smile.
