Happy Easter everyone! Well here's a new chapter. Hope you like it. And remember to review when you're done please.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Howl's Moving Castle.
All Hinata could do was stare in shock as the giant castle slowly made it's way to her. "You Turniphead! That's Naruto's Moving!" Hinata yelled at him.
Once the castle passed by her she noticed a door. "Is that the way in?" She asked herself. After a moment of thought Hinata ran after it. Once she got to the door with some effort, from trying to get up to it while running, she made it inside. "I'll be going in now; it's nice and warm in there." Hinata said to the walking scarecrow. "And thank you. Even if you are my least favorite vegetable!"
Once safely inside Hinata looked around. The place was a mess of books, bottles, and cobwebs. "They call this a castle?" Hinata said incredulously. "This place is dump."
She soon found a chair by the fireplace and sat in it after adding a few more logs to the fire. Just as she was about to fall asleep the fire grew two eyeballs and a mouth. "I got to hand it to you lady that is one nasty spell you got on you." It said.
Hinata was shocked. "The fire spoke" She whispered to herself in awe. "Are you Naruto?" she asked.
"No." It said. "I'm an extremely powerful fire demon named Kyuubi!" He said puffing himself out for dramatic affect.
"If you're a fire demon, than you can help me break my spell." Hinata said hopefully.
"I might. But what do I get in return?" Kyuubi asked. "How about this. If you help me break this thing I'm in with Naruto, than I can easily break the spell that's on you."
"If you're a demon, how do I know I can trust you?" Hinata asked not liking where this was heading.
"I don't know. Demons don't make promises." Kyuubi said stretching his fiery arms.
"Than go find somebody else." Hinata said almost falling asleep.
"Come on!" Kyuubi insisted. "You should feel sorry for me! Naruto works me to the bone and treats me like his slave and it really burns me up! You have to keep the rooms warm and the water hot and not to mention moving the castle. You ever try moving a castle before?" Kyuubi said trying to get a sympathy factor going for him.
"Alright." Hinata said trying to get him to be quiet so she could get some shut eye. "It's a bargain." She said falling asleep at last.
The next day Hinata was awakened by a nock at the door. She then heard someone coming down the stairs and acted like she was asleep, not wanting explain how she got in.
"Who's this old lady?" She heard a little kid say in her ear.
But then there was another knock at the door and she heard Kyuubi say "It's the Porthaven door."
She chose this to be the right time to get up. The person at the door was what looked like the mayor handing a small person a note saying "All witches and wizards are to report to the palace. The time for war is upon us." And with that they left.
The person that answered the door turned out to be a little boy. "And what do you think you're doing here grandma?" He asked a little annoyed.
"Oh. Kyuubi let me in." Hinata said thinking on her feet.
"I did not. She just wandered in here from the Wastes." Kyuubi said defending himself.
"The Wastes?" The kid asked. "And how do we know she's not a witch?" he started eyeing her warily.
"Do you think I'd let a witch in here?" Kyuubi said but was interrupted by another knock at the door. "It's the Porthaven door again." He said.
"It must be a customer." The kid said pulling the hood of his cloak over his head and doing a hand sign and transforming into an old man. He then made his way down the steps and opened the door to reveal a little girl. "Yes my child?"
"My mother sent me here to pick up a spell." She said and stepped into the house to wait.
Hinata went to the window to look outside and noticed she wasn't in the Wastes anymore.
"Excuse me mam, but are you a witch too?" The little girl asked looking at her.
"Yes I am." Hinata said trying to amuse the girl. "I'm the scariest witch of them all!" She said in a scary voice for dramatic affect.
The boy came back a few seconds later with a bag and handed it to the girl saying "Dust your ship with this powder and the winds will favor it."
The girl paid for the powder and left. Once the door was closed the boy glared at her and said "Stop telling lies to our customers." He said.
"What about you?" Hinata said looking at the boy with a challenging look.
"I have to." He said dispelling the spell he had on him and pulling his hood down. "I'm practicing my magic."
There was another knock at the door and Kyuubi said "It's the Kingsbury door."
The boy did the spell again and turned the dial on the to a different color and opened the door. This time the door revealed a man dressed in a uniform asking "Is the great wizard master Pendragon at home?"
"No, but I speak for him in his absence." He said.
"We are here to inform him that all witches and wizards are to report to the palace immediately." The man said handing him a letter and walking back to his car.
Curious, Hinata walked towards the door and looked outside. "This is the royal city." She said in shock about the fact that they changed cities without moving.
"Move it grandma or you'll lose your nose." The boy said.
Once back inside the boy walked over to the table. He grabbed a loaf of bread and a hunk of cheese from the draw on the table. Hinata followed him and pulled a closed tray towards her. "Wouldn't you want some bacon an eggs, instead of that?" she asked pulling out a basket of eggs and putting the bacon on top of them.
"Yeah, but we can't use the fire." The boy said. "We can't use the fire without Naruto-sensei here."
"It's OK. I can cook." Hinata said grabbing a skillet off the rack and setting the basket on a chair.
"It doesn't matter if you can cook." He said. "Kyuubi only listens to Naruto-sensei."
"Yeah." Kyuubi said sticking out his fiery tong. "I'm not taking any orders from you."
"Oh be quiet." Hinata said. "How would you like a bucket of cold water in your face or perhaps I should tell Naruto about our bargain." She said dangerously.
"Oh stingy. I NEVER SHOULD HAVE LET HER IN HER!" Kyuubi yelled only to have a skillet hitting him on top of his head as Hinata started making breakfast.
"That's a good fire." Hinata said taking a strip of bacon from the plate and putting it on the frying pan to cook.
"Here's another curse; may all your bacon burn" Kyuubi said in a scary voice.
Just then the door opened and a man in an orange jacket came walking in.
