Hey people thanks for reading! Today in class the teacher was using her Elmo projector and one of the kids mentioned he took one of those orange cones home with him that are being used in construction at school and she started writing a note reminder for her to call the school officer about it and the officer's name looked like Snape almost except for the ending. Anyway Here's Chapter eight (P.S. If you want to hear more about the cone story you'll have to keep reading)

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Harry Potter, Nanoha ask my classmate if he stole the rights though.


It was just a small meeting

That changed two people's lives

One wanting to love

The other

Ashamed of their self

Yoru No Ko Begins Now


Airport exit-

"Finally I thought we'd never get off that plane it was turned from a forty-five minute flight to a ten hour flight. We're never taking magical airline flights again." Shiki said grumpily walking over to the luggage pick up. Furious she grabbed her bags the second they came around and went off towards an electronic screen, without Snape.

When he got over to her with his bag she was typing in multiple codes for what looked like a vehicle transport service. "I should let you know I don't drive." Shiki not even looking up from her work said "So, what does that have to do with anything?" Snape groaned. "There is a legal age you have to be you know." Shiki just reached inside her pocket and held out a card with a strange language similar to English. "What's this?"

"Special Permission I get from work. The laws here don't apply to me by the way." Shiki said pulling away the card to have it scanned by the machine. Finishing the transaction a receipt printed up and she started walking towards the vehicle retrieval area.

"You're not even twelve!" He hissed but this didn't faze her as showed her receipt to the clerk and put on a tight leather jacket that zipped up with a turtleneck collar. The man then came back with a red motorcycle. "A motorcycle, are you serious?" He hissed again.

"Yes 1991 Honda hawk, got it before it was out on market as a gift." Shiki said with a smirk. At this point Snape seemed to realize something. "Wait, you've already been introduced to the magic world." At this Shiki chuckled. "No, I just put in some random numbers in and got some guy's motorcycle, yes I already knew about magic, just didn't know about Hogwarts, Bye!"

By the time his brain caught up she had driven off without him, now he was irritated.


The Leaky Cauldron-

Snape walked in and spotted Shiki was calmly sipping tea ignoring the leering men. "You left me there, I had to walk here." Shiki closed her eyes and took another sip. "Did I now?"

"Yes, you did." Snape said twitching. "Hm." Shiki didn't look up. "Are you ignoring me? You are."

"So who do you work for?" Snape asked. "You don't need to know." Shiki sent him a glare. "What I do is none of your business."

"Well I'm sure you're not a ninja or your team would've gone after Danzo when he took you. Is it some secret magic government I'm not aware of?" He spoke quietly. "Anything to do with that other accident you said you had a year ago." Shiki's head snapped up at the end of that. "How?" She demanded. "The spa, you told that woman, who told me. She had concerns for your health."

"I'll be going to the bathroom." Shiki said getting up. When she entered she pulled out her cell phone that she got from TSAB. Opening it she put it to her ear.

"Hello." Shiki answered. "Shiki, thank god! Where are you? Are you okay? "

"I'm fine Amy, how did you know I was gone?" Shiki asked. "Chrono had some time off and decided to check in with you. Your apartment is a mess."

"A visitor from you guys and I'm not home to greet my guest, how rude." Shiki said sarcastically. "I'm sorry but you know that we have a major case going on right now. You still haven't answered by other question."

"I know, just really ticked off right now. Anyway I'm in England, London." Shiki said flushing the toilet. "London? Are you in the bathroom?"

"Yeah, doing something right now had to pretend I was going to the bathroom to talk to you." Shiki said turning on the faucet. "You're not involved in a case right now are you?" Amy nearly freaked out on her. "No, I've might found something on my past, I don't have anything conclusive yet, I'm being careful. This Snape is really getting on my nerve; a 45 minute flight should not end up being 10 hours. So I made him walk and took my motorcycle."

"And that's why you're the White devil."Amy snickered."Yeah, White devil has to go; I'll try contacting one of you later, tell my students not to slack off."With that she hung up and left the bathroom.

"Take you long enough?" Snape asked. "Well I am a woman we take our time." Shiki replied.

"So where are we going?" Shiki asked as Snape led her to the back of the leaky cauldron. "To get your school supplies for Hogwarts of course." She followed him into an empty brick room.

He tapped the wall in three spots and it opened a door way. She looked around as they walked in, it was filled with dozens of stores with crowds of people going in and out of them, or talking to friends. Shiki had never seen any magical community besides Mid-Childa which was more highly advanced, and they sold different types of magical supplies. But other than that it was comforting to be in a familiar looking place.

"Wait, how am I going to pay for this, Danzo has all my money." Shiki asked. "Don't worry we'll be going to the bank to get your money." Snape said as he gestured to the big building-GrinGotts- at the end of the street. "Wait you mean I have an account there?"

"Yes, it was set up years ago to keep the man Danzo from stealing your parents' money." Snape said as they entered through the doors. They walked over to a counter where she saw a goblin, she repeated over her head, writing in a large book.

"May I Help you?" The Goblin asked and Snape nudged her forward. "Um, Yes I'd like to withdrawal from my account." Shiki spoke.

"Name and Key?" He asked her looking expectantly. "Shiki Uzumaki and…" She paused unsure if she even had the key before she reached in back of her neck and unchained it from her choker. "Is this it?"

"Yes. It's good to know you're alright Miss Uzumaki." The Goblin said. "Follow me please." He said leading them to a cart which sped off once they were seated, going down several flights.

When it stopped Snape looked over at Shiki who had a green tint to her unusually pale skin. "I think i'm going to throw up." Shiki groaned. "There's a bucket over there." She didn't know who said it but she was thankful as she grabbed it and heaved into it.

Snape rushed over to her, rubbing her back. Slowly moving back into a sitting position, and groaned once more. "This was what I was trying to avoid on the flight here, so much for that."

Shakily, she stood up and got off. He handed her a bag to put money in as the goblin opened the safe with the key.

She was surprised at the amount of money in the huge safe which had been transferred into the magic British currency. Not knowing anything about the exchange rate she knocks the top of big piles in the bag until she decided it was good.

After the ride back up, the throwing up, and leaving of the bank, they headed to the book store. She was looking for a couple of books she had been pointed to when she felt her vision going hazy. She pressed her hand on the shelf to keep herself steady. Distantly she heard two people arguing and footsteps coming near hear. One of them bumped into her and she closed her eyes as she lost her balance but was caught by a pair of arms.

"-are you okay?" She opened her eyes and looked up, to see a red haired boy her age a few inches shorter. "Huh?"

"I said are you okay, you weren't responding for a couple of minutes." He said with a look of concern. She started to stand up and looked around. "Sorry about my siblings, they can sometime be reckless."

"It's okay, but now I can't remember why I was here. Stupid Short-term memory loss." Shiki said looking at the shelf. The red head bent down and grasped the fallen letter. Glancing at it he pulled three different books off the shelf and handed them to her.

"Here you go." He said handing them to her. "I'm Gaara Subaku by the way."

"You're a ninja, Suna most likely." Shiki stated and Gaara nodded in confirmation. "I guess you are as well?" He asked.

"Not yet, by December hopefully I'll be an official konoha ninja." Shiki said walking over to another book she needed. "So what's your name?" Gaara asked.

"Shiki Uzumaki." Shiki smiled towards him as she picked up the last of her books. "So who are you with?" Gaara asked her.

"With one of the teachers, now that I think of it, he is somewhere waiting for me." Shiki rubbed her head sheepishly. Gaara chuckled and took her over to the counter, and they found Snape there waiting. "Sorry, I kind of got lost, Gaara here helped me."

"Thank you Mr. Subaku, if you're wondering your siblings ran out of the store five minutes ago." Snape said.

"You're welcome, would you mind if I accompany you two?" Gaara asked. "We don't mind right, Snape." She said almost challenging him to defy her, which he was smart to avoid.

The two talked as they traveled to the different stores getting their different supplies, stopping in-between for lunch at a small café. Their next stop was at Madam Malkin's to have their robes done up.

"So you're a second year this year?" Shiki said as the three walked in. At that point Madam Malkin walked up front. "Ah, , you've hit a growth spurt this year." She smiled turning to Shiki. "And who is this lovely lady?"

"Shiki Uzumaki, . Nice to meet you." Shiki answered and the woman seemed surprised. "Miss Uzumaki, nice to meet you! Come I'll take your measurements first."

After she took her measurements, Madam Malkins asked her to try on some dresses she had. She didn't really want to try them on but it didn't help that Gaara and Professor Snape were encouraging it. In the end she ending up with several outfits and hour later she didn't really need and some stalkers who wouldn't leave the store.

Her eye twitching, she walked to the middle of the room and stopped. Clenching her fist, she sucked in a big breath. "OUT! IF YOU EVEN THINK OF FOLLOWING ME YOU'LL REGRET IT!"

All the Stalkers at that point ran out of the shop before she even finished. "I needed that."

Grabbing her bags she looked at her two companions who had frozen in their spot. "Hey, we don't have all day, get your stuff and let's go." They at that point rushed out of the store to follow.

"Where to next?" Gaara asked looking at her list as he was now finished with his shopping. "I'll get my wand next." Shiki said spotting it on the list. "Then we need to go to Ollivander's Wand Shop." Gaara said leading the way.

When they entered the shop, Mr. Ollivander greeted them. "Ah Gaara, break your wand again? Who's this lovely lady, did your father remarry finally?" He asked.

"No, i'm a first year coming to Hogwarts. Why is everyone assuming I'm involved with older men?" Shiki fumed.

"I would answer but you may end up strangling me." Gaara said. "Like that's even possible." Snape muttered and received a Gaara Death Glare©.

"Well come on now let's get you a wand." Mr. Ollivander gestured her to come forward. "Which is your wand hand?" Shiki then held out her left hand. "Ah, left handed I see very rare to sell a left hander wand, everyone is always right handed."

He left and came back moments later pulling out a wooden wand from the box he held. "Dark Maple 9 ½ inches and Dragon Heartstring Core." Taking a hold of it she waved it and didn't feel the familiar pull of magic and set it down. "Let's try another shall we."

"Olive 10 Inches and Ice Core." Ollivander handed her next and still it did nothing. Frowning he went to the back and started rifling through the boxes, and the sound of boxes being riffled got further away till the store was silent. "Do you thing he gave up?" Shiki said tapping her fingers on the front desk. It was moments later she heard a shout right next to her. "This is the one!"

She stumbled back in surprised before straightening herself and picked up the wand. "Ebony wood 11 ¾ and Quartz Crystal Point Core." This time when she waved the wand something happened.

She felt it tug on her linker core gently and found herself surrounded by inky blackness almost floating in it and she heard something a deep voice calling but when she blinked she was back at the shop almost as nothing had happened.

"My, such a beautiful display of colors, I've never seen anything so marvelous. Could you please try that again it was so beautiful. " exclaimed, unaware of her confusion. Shiki slowly nodded and wave it once more.

A calming and sweet silvery wave of rainbow washed over the shop mystifying them. "The first uses of a new wand are always so exciting; this may be the best by far!"

"Can I purchase my wand now?" She asked Ollivander nodded and set the wand back in the box and exchanged it for the needed money. He nearly forgot to ask her name and called out to her as she left.

"Wait what's your name." Shiki looked up and said. "Shiki Uzumaki." And with that she left with Ollivander standing there shocked.


Pet Shop-

"Do you see any you like?" Gaara asked Shiki as she walked through the pet store, rubbing at her throat which was becoming sore from the yelling earlier. "I don't think I feel comfortable with a pet, i'm I live by myself and with my memory I'll probably freak out not knowing why it's there."

"It's okay, It's getting late and we should head back, your father will be wondering where you are you should go too." Snape said.

Saying their goodbyes they parted promising to meet up at the train station.


Subaku's Hotel Room-

"Gaara your home. Where have you been?" His father said looking up from the book he was reading. "Your siblings came back without you."

"I was spending some time with a new found friend." Gaara answered his father pouring himself something to drink.

"I find that highly un-ugh! Temari why did you do that!" Kankuro yelled at his older sister for punching him before he could finish.

"You were being rude! Gaara can find friends no matter how unsocial he is." Temari chided him. Their father smirked in amusement watching. "You two go to bed you've got a long day ahead of your selves. Hogwarts starts tomorrow you know." Their father said shooing the two off to bed.

"This is going to be a long night." Gaara muttered. "Yeah but you're going to have to suffer on your own tonight, I'm not an insomniac, i'm going to bed." His father stretched and went to bed.


Next Morning-

Shiki groaned as she awoke. It was four in the morning and she felt sick to her stomach. She walked over to the bathroom slowly and grabbed the handle turning it when she entered she went straight for the toilet and threw up.

She cringed at the Acid bile that rose up as she sat there holding her stomach as it was nausea. Slowly getting up she made it to the sink and turned on the water and washed her mouth out and slashing some water on her face to cool it.

Shiki grabbed a towel and dried her face before looking in the mirror. Her face showed exhaustion from the past few weeks which were starting to catch up with her. Nothing she ate was staying down and she felt very weak. It was now obvious that since the accident with the Gadget Drones that it had gotten worse. As a ninja, every though she was still academy, she should have been able to handle the ride but didn't.

That reminder her she needed to call Vita so she wouldn't worry. Picking her phone off the night stand where she had set it, she scrolled through her contact list and dialed the number.

"Hello, who are you?" Vita questioned as she picked up the phone from Hayate's House sounding slightly annoyed because she had to pick it up as it was her day off (Monday) and around one o'clock there meaning she had interrupted her video games.

"Vita, is that how you pick up the phone?" Shiki reprimanded her. She heard some choking, then sputtering and lastly stuttering. "You're not eating in the living room again are you?"

"Don't tell Hayate!" Vita exclaimed from the other end causing her to chuckle. "I won't if you spend the day with me until I have to take the train."

"Really! Where are you? How long can we hang out? Where you going that you'd need a train?" Vita asked thrilled to see her again. Shiki frowned Danzo had kept her from her friend since she'd come back to Konoha, what would they look like now?

"I'm In London, England, My train leaves at 11 am, my time and I'm going to someplace called Hogwarts." Shiki supplied Vita.

"The Witchcraft and Wizardry School, how'd you get an acceptance letter?" Vita asked. "They don't usually bother mages; we aren't exactly on speaking terms."

"I think it has something to do with my past, it's why i'm going to find out. Not too sure what will happen." Shiki said in the mist of changing her clothes. "Meet you on the edge of town fifteen minutes."

"Okay." With that they hung up. Shiki ran down the stairs quietly and went through the back to Diagon Alley. The shops were just opening and the last of the night shoppers were leaving so it was very crowded and she made to GrinGotts quickly and made a money exchange before heading back the leaky cauldron.

Making it outside, she put her keys in to the ignition of her motor cycle and sped off towards the edge of town arriving to Vita Waiting. She tossed her the other helmet, which Vita caught. "The shops should be opening soon want to get something to eat?"

"Yeah, you kind of made me ruin my lunch by doing a spit take." Vita grimaced at the thought of her soggy lunch, causing Shiki to chuckle at her pouting face.

"Alright, hold on tight." Shiki said speeding off back into town and glanced at her watch. '5:30 already.' She felt Vita tighten her grip a bit more and smiled gently.

After the two had eaten, then went shopping at different places mostly Goth related stores, or Victorian styled stores. Shiki and Vita even went to some Gothic Wizarding Stores. The two were now heading down town to the markets, when they stopped at a red light.

"The highlights really suit you Shiki, why didn't you color your hair sooner?" Vita asked the taller girl. "Getting your hair colored in Konoha is more expensive because we don't have the resources near us; we have to trade for them. I could barely afford just getting my bangs cut every once in a while, let alone color."

"Shiki why do you keep going back there, that man is basically abusing you and his control. If Fate knew you could live with us you would be safe and you could get better." Vita whispered hugging tightly. Shiki frowned as the light changed.

Vita was the only one of her friends that knew how Danzo treated her and that even when the test results came back negative that it wasn't just some cold. Vita had found her on the floor one day visiting when she was living in Uminari after Danzo had found out her location and punished her for running away. She was the only one who understood why she had pleaded to stay and live with them.

"Don't worry Vita; Hogwarts is safe he can't find me there. Just don't tell Fate or the others." Shiki said but Vita didn't respond as they came to another stop light. Glancing off to the side she saw a raven haired boy teasing another boy, who by the looks of it was related to him, as he got scolded by his mother, who looked pretty good for her age.

The light changed again and she sped into the market district to continue their shopping.


Kings Cross Station 10:15 Am-

Shiki with the help of Vita pulled the last of her stuff onto the trolley, from the side car they'd attached.

"What platform are we going to?" Vita asked Shiki as she pulled out the ticket she had received. "Nine and three quarters, obviously hidden seeing as it looks none existent from here."

They walked over towards the 9 & 10 platforms and Shiki observed the area while Vita used Graf Eisen to detect the illusion barrier. "It looks like we just walk through here." Vita said and the two pushed the cart through to the other side. "Whoa! Look at this place Shiki its amazing!" Vita said running around looking at all the things.

"Vita, come on help me load my stuff on to the train." Shiki called her back and Vita helped push the cart over towards the luggage train cart. "I'll take that Miss." One of the older students said as he pulled up the items. "Uh, thank you?" Shiki said confused at the look the student gave her. Vita sighed at her oblivious nature to flirting, yet she could pick out a pervert from a mile away.

"Gaara there you are!" Shiki smiled as she waved at the older boy. 'On second thought, who is this?' Vita looked at the fellow redhead, who turned at the sound of Shiki's voice.

"You look happier today, did something happen?" Gaara asked approaching her. "I just spent the morning with one of my friends I haven't seen in a while. Vita, where'd you go?" Shiki called.

"I'm here." Vita said walking up. "Who is he?" Vita said sending a glare toward him. Gaara intrigued by the look from the girl who looked about eight and said "Names Gaara. Is she your little sister?" Gaara inquired.

"No, were you not listening before, although I don't think she's happy you called her little, she's actually ten."Shiki said mouthing vertically challenged (read as short) and he nodded.

"We should be getting on the train." Gaara said glancing at the clock. "Nice to meet you." He bent down to shake hands with Vita but she turned her head. 'Or not.'

Bending down Shiki smiled at Vita. "I'll visit for Christmas, okay. Until then I want you to keep this." Shiki took off her Black Choker with silver Victorian cross pendant and put it around her neck. She hugged Vita asking her to store her motorcycle, and went on the train.

Five minutes later Shiki waved good-bye from the train to her.

Shiki sighed closing her eyes intending to rest when someone knocked on the door. Thinking it was Gaara she opened it to find a bush haired girl. "Have you seen a toad, a boy named Neville lost his?"

"No, um what time is it?" Shiki said glancing at the position of the sun. "Lunch time why do you ask?"

"No reason, hope Neville finds his toad." Shiki said closing the door and taking a seat. 'I thought we just left the station, how can it be twelve already.'

"Dear do you want anything from the trolley?" An old woman asked with a cart of sweets. Shiki spotted some fancy chocolates, which were about the only normal thing there and her weakness so she purchased some.

"Thank you." With that she looked out the window worriedly.


Asura Command Center-

"Vita, have you heard from Shiki recently." Lindy Harlaown asked her. "Huh, why?"

"It seems that according to Shiki's guardian someone's tricked her saying that they know something about her past and taken her away. We got in contact with her once but for some reason we can't now."

"No, I haven't been in contact with her; no one has, not since the accident." Vita said. "I see; I just hope she is safe, when we did contact her we couldn't locate her where she said she was."

When Vita was far enough away, she slammed her hand into the wall, anger present in her eyes. 'That Bastard he's using our resources to find her, I won't let that happen.'


TBC

Well I want your opinion on what should be done next Chapter!

For those who want to know the whole cone story here it is:

See one day my classmate walked into school with one of those orange cones on his head and he got yelled at to put it back. A week later we find out that he went back for it, put it in his locker, and towards the end of the day took it out put it on his head walked out of school with it, got on the bus with it, and walked home. At that point my math teacher tried calling the police officer (Name spelt Snaith) with he didn't answer. Then he said he would bring it in so he wouldn't get in trouble. Next day he was in the nurse's office sick, and the day after that he forgot.

Third day he was late to class, because he was being assigned detention for vulgar language during lunch, but he walks in with the cone on his head. Before that though we thought she called officer Snaith on him, but low and behold five minutes after he comes in Snaith comes in, and my math teacher keep the door open so we could see what happened sadly he got away.

During science I had to explain the whole incident to my science teacher too. Got to love advanced math.

Anyway Vote for the poll!

With Love

Penn-Chan!
