I don't own anything, but my imagination. I have placed up a new story KHR x Naruto crossover; check it out if you please.

Zabuza is still in the lead. However, the end result is not here yet guys….*Ryoma would say* Mada, Mada Dane….

I have no BETA; remember guys? So, I'll need your help! Hopefully, this chapter doesn't have so many, but I am still editing the last chapter.

Each house corresponds to an element. Gryffindor (fire), Hufflepuff (earth), Ravenclaw (air), and Slytherin (Water)

Last time: I know I rushed it a little last chapter so I'll try not to do so in the future. I kind of got stuck, so I put two days afterwards and school starting-D! However, last time introductions were made and two days the order, Hermione, Ron nor Harry learned virtually nothing, but the fact that their speed is phenomenal. That's not all Harry learned though –Haku can perform wand-less magic! Now what will happen now?

Now on to chapter …14!

The compartment doors slid open again revealing Ron and Hermione who didn't look all too happy.

The compartment magically gave space for them to sit. Ron place Pigwidgeon next to Hedwig, plopping next to his best friend. "I'm starving," he said grabbing a chocolate frog from the trolley that passed before they arrived.

Hermione sat across next to Neville looking at Haku and her friend. However, she then looked at Harry talking about House perfects whilst Ron closed his eyes leaning back; chewing on the frog's head.

"And guess who's a Slytherin perfect?" Ron said with his eyes still closed.

"Malfoy," Harry groaned in annoyance, misery, irritation-

"Who is this Malfoy a rival?" Haku asked softly breaking Harry's frustration.

Harry nodded, well that was close to it, but he was an enemy.

It was Ron who finally opened his eyes who explained who Draco, Malfoy was.

"That's not all," Hermione cut in rather viciously. "That cow Pansy Parkinson is one too! How in the world she became a perfect it's beyond me. She's thicker than a concussed troll."

Ron snickered. Harry shook his head in disbelief. Zabuza whistled lowly. That was whether harsh coming from the girl who didn't stand with them that well, but...

"I can't wait to give Malfoy's mates a good punishing," Ron said with a gleam.

"Ron, don't abuse your power!" Hermione said sharply.

Ron snorted, "And he won't. Yeah, I'm just going to get his mates before he jumps mine."

"Revenge is sweet however," everyone excluding Luna who went back to her magazine turned towards Haku. "It is only sweet for so long."

Zabuza snorted loudly looking highly amused. "We still have to take ours."

Haku frowned slightly, "I understand Zabuza-san, but these kids revenge is nothing compared to the scale in which we measure."

Zabuza chuckled placing a hand over her shoulders squeezing.

Harry sighed, "Guys can you lighten up?"

Haku glanced from Zabuza turning her gaze back to them, "Sorry it was personal."

Harry nodded, Ron shrugged, Neville looked confused, Luna was listening with interest, Ginny looked out of place, but Hermione was the only one who narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

"I won't abuse my power," Ron piped up. "Just will make Goyle write lines…" He made a pained concentrated face and placed a hand in the air as if he was writing on paper. "I…must... not…. Look… like…..a baboon's …backside…"

Everyone laughed well; Haku and Zabuza chuckled with amusement. The loud laughing woke up Hedwig and she hooted disapprovingly.

Harry whipped his tears and smiled apologetically at his animal friend. He then noticed the dropped magazine, "can I have a look at this?"

Luna nodded still rolling with laughter.

Harry leaned back and read the magazine. "What is that?" Haku asked softly looking over as well.

It was a newsletter type of magazine that contained various types of news.

Harry stared as if he heard a joke, or because the information was audibly ludicrous!

"Anything good in there?" Ron asked.

Harry shook his head and handed the magazine back to Luna.

"No of course not," Hermione answered. "The Quibbler is rubbish."

"Excuse me," Luna said her voice no longer sounding dreamy. "My father's the editor."

Hermione was embarrassed and Harry was just glad he gave it back before she would turn on him for what he didn't know. Ron just shook his head; whilst Haku and Zabuza turned to look towards the wall or out the window.

The compartment doors open for a third time.

Harry looked anywhere, but at the smirking Draco who stood in-between his cronies, Grabbe and Golye.

"What is it, Malfoy?" Harry spoke before the now perfect could open his mouth.

"Manners Potter or I'll have to give you a detention," drawled Malfoy. "You see unlike you, I'm a perfect-

He stopped once seeing two new faces. "Who are you two? I've never seen you before. Where are you from? Never mind all new students are supposed to be in uniform, I'll make sure-

Haku stood and her light blue kimono draped around her perfectly. She walked towards the Malfoy with a focused emotionless face. "I am Haku, Harry-Kun's sister from Japan. A pleasure to meet you," she extended her hand in a shake. Harry idly noted that she had green/blue painted nails.

Malfoy looked flabbergasted and Ron and others laughed at his expression.

Malfoy smiled charming, extending his own hand. "A pleasure as well. If you need any help I'm sure am willing to assist. The name's Draco Malfoy," he interlaced their hands. "I'm sure you wouldn't want to hang out with a brother th-

Haku squeezed tightly to the point where she was going to break his hand. She tilted her head as he squirmed to get his hand free not wanting to scream in front of some losers.

Harry and the others stared wide eyed at the same time Draco looked back up, but the Slytherin gulped wanting to step back or maybe get lost and never encounter the girl again. She was smiling and all, but it was off and her eyes looked distant and emotionless with hidden anger/ angst.

Malfoy bit his lip. Grabbe and Golye were moving, but..."Move and I'll break his hand. My mood isn't one to push," it was cold extremely so that Harry and the other occupants shivered slightly.

As much as he was enjoying the spectacle Haku was seriously going to break the boy's hand. "Haku enough," it was like usual and Haku released Malfoy's hand.

"Watch it, Potter, I'll be dogging you carefully," and with his composure slightly back he stormed out, his cronies behind him.

When Harry Ron, Luna, Neville, and Ginny blinked Haku was sitting in her friends lap comfortably with her head resting on his chest. Her eyes were closed as he soothed the angered companion.

"Whoa," Ron breathed. "That was so cool!" obvious to his two friends nervous glances.

When darkness fell over, lamps lit up the carriages and Luna placed away her Quibbler magazine.

"We'd better change," suggested Hermione at last. She and Ron fixed their perfect badge. "Haku ...

"I thought it would be obvious by now, Granger-Chan, but we do not have uniforms."

Hermione looked slightly embarrassed as well as interested, her curious suspicion hidden.

"So, you wear everyday clothing," Ron butted in before Hermione could say a word.

"Yes, our school is lenient in a lot of things just so long as we pay attention to our education."

Ron's eyes widen in disbelief, but then Hermione gestured for him to follow her as they had to head out to patrol the carriages.

Harry with Hedwig followed by Haku who carried Pigwidgeon followed him along with Zabuza and Ginny.

Once outside the jostled crowds a flap of white –silverish wings soared pass and Riri sat perched on her mistress shoulders. Haku stroked the feathers with her free hand. As they continued to walk along the hustle, Harry was panicking slightly. He couldn't find his first friend…Hagrid.

Standing outside Hogsmeade station on the washed-up road Harry stopped.

Haku tilted her head Snape-san didn't tell of fleshless horses. Well, maybe because the information on Voldemort, the fact that she had a brother or how the wizarding world work was more important than fleshless horses pulling carriages.

Black coats hung loosely over their skeletal bones, their heads were dragon-like and their eyes were pupil-less white staring. Black feathery wings spread on both sides as they stood stock still.

"Pig..?" Ron muttered beside him and Harry jumped pointing to his sister who held the cage towards the Weasley. "Thanks."

"I swear," Hermione panted as she stopped in front of them. "Malfoy's fouler than ever now that he's a perfect. He already started picking on the first years- Where's Crookshanks..?"

Ginny has him," Harry supplied looking for the fourth-year...there she is."

Ginny was panting as she ran towards the group holding a squirming cat.

Hermione and Ron with Ginny went on ahead. "Reckon what are those things..?"

Ron stopped turning over his shoulders.

"Come on mate, we need to hurry before," Harry repeated his question.

"Ron shrugged, "I don't see anything, mate."

"Perhaps …" Haku answered tilting her head looking at the horses thoughtfully. "They represent death." How, right she was-an accurate deduction and they were called thestrals, horses that indeed represented a form of death.

With a small shriek Riri was off her shoulders flying about.

Harry blanched even if a part of him was happy someone other than him could see the horses.

Ron shrugged and followed Hermione who was long gone.

"Don't worry," said a dreamy voice and Harry turned towards Luna. "I can see them too."

She disappeared in the carriage and Harry didn't want to believe what Haku said, nor didn't he know whether to be happy or think that he was going insane that he was seeing hallucinations.

The gang sat together once more just as they did on the train. Haku sat in Zabuza's lap looking out the window while he just sat bored looking at nothing in particular; as a seeming muggle-village passed along the roads and soon grimy lit like the night – darkness and trees appeared into view. However, the school they could see far through the distance.

The castle looked fit for a warlord or a daimyo. The carriages halted to a stop at the front stone steps that led to the front gates of the school.

As they exited with jostled students Harry c thought about Haku's proclamation of the horses. Could that be the reason why no one could see them?

"Come on, mate. Let's go in," Ron said breaking him of his musings.

The entrance hall was ablaze with floating torches and student's eager footsteps as they turned towards the right heading for the Great Hall.

Immediately McGonagall walked up to their group. "I need the two new ones to come with me," she said sternly turning around leading the two who followed behind.

Harry turned to his friends who just shrugged heading into the Great Hall. However, when they got there the hall was empty saved for the hundreds of students and ghost, as well as the latten's that lit up the hall nicely.

"Don't you think it's strange," Harry muttered as he glanced at the empty teacher's table.

Hermione nodded.

Dumbledore couldn't be happier. He sat in chair as his office filled with teachers. McGonagall opening the doors entering; behind her was two people. However, many wanted to know why they were here and just who were they?

As they looked on curiously; including towards Zabuza whose mask covered the lower portion of his face and bandages which were clearly hiding something of importance.

Dumbledore stood, "Now then we are here to welcome Haliene Potter and her friend," he gestured to the two standing beside Minerva.

Many gasped and whispered excitedly.

"You mean to tell me you found the girl?" one woman who wore bright neon pink asked sweetly with a smile, but it seems it was sour just like her tone.

"Ay, yes" Dumbledore nodded outstretching his hand. "It is fine time too I must say. Harry boy was getting worried something happened to you, we've looked all over Japan, but alas it is vast. Haliene –

"Haku," Haku finally answered not once extending her hand out. This man was telling on half-truths it seemed.

"Pardon, me. I should have calculated that you'd no longer go by the name your mother has given you," he said smiling grandfatherly looking sadden.

"Can you tell your friend to remove his bandana? You see I'm afraid that we do not trust those who hide-

"It is improbable. I cannot –you have read our headmistress letter, yes?" Haku asked changing the subject. For all she cared Zabuza didn't need to remove his mask, he looked good in her opinion.

Dumbledore frowned stroking his bread; "Yes, yes I have." Oh, he remembered the letter alright. Apparently he had no true jurisdiction on them, but just maybe… He then turned towards one of his employee's. "Have anyone of you seen Severus?"

At receiving no's he sighed showing his old age. "That boy..." he muttered. "Alright then, Ms. Haku you and your friend are here to be sorted. I have decided that one of you will surface and would like to be placed into the same house as the other?"

Haku nodded.

"Now, hold on, Albus!" the same plunk woman who wore neon pink shrieked. "That is against ministry policy! I will-

"Now, Dolores calm down. I'm sure this isn't important enough to have the ministry involved."

Dolores looked ready to blow and Dumbledore eyes twinkled. "Now if one of you would be so kind as to sit in the stool- he pointed the stool where an old rusted hat was perched on. "I can hat you two settled."

Haku strode over and sat gracefully in the chair. It was graceful the teachers and Dumbledore admitted. McGonagall placed the hat over Haku's head.

"MERLIN!"

Some jumped at the furious shout that left the hat's frail old brimmed lips. Dumbledore and some were started and the headmaster looked at Haku's friend with an eyebrow raised.

However, he was doing more than that, but he reeled back as soon as he bumped into some barriers. So, he couldn't invade their minds interesting, and if Zabuza felt Dumbledore's interference than he made no notion that he did and looked towards his companion.

The Hat was replaced on Haku's head.

The barriers of ice floated and acted like brick walls. The hat tried again hoping that he didn't encounter more barriers. The hat's brown seeing eyes watched as an ice barricade slowly dissolve into water only to form a puddle. However, the puddle seemed to evaporate and for a moment it looked like it would until it started to spike up forming into a human shape.

The hat which was a manifestation of invisible figures spoke, "Allows me freedom. I am to look inside your memories to know where you belong."

"You will not disclose it to anyone?"

"No," the Haku like image nodded after a minute and everything seemed too dissolve.

As if the hat could select an entrance an ice-doors appeared with various locks. Taking heed the doors were blurredly opened and whatever Haku wanted the hat to see appeared.

"Argh... You have a week!" a gruffly short man shouted before he disappeared followed by his guards.

"Kill them, I want them out of the way," the same man said as he gave out orders to the man with the clever.

"Let's go Haku."

Outside the hat was as silent as a mouse. Dumbledore thought that it was unusual. It never took this long for the hat to decide.

"Yes, Zabuza-san," Haku crouched low on a tree branch as she placed on a mask that strikingly resembled that of a death-eater, but wasn't that of a skull. Blurredly once the mask was on they moved and attacked.

Zabuza leaned against the tree trunk bleeding from his shoulder from one unlucky hit. "Come now, Zabuza –san we must take care of that."

"Your injured as well, Haku." The girl didn't glance down as her torn hakama pant leg.

"Your injury is more important, Zabuza-san."

Perhaps that was too much?

"Hm... the hat thought as it faded and ventured another memory. "You have the skills of a Slytherin… cunning sneaky; but not ambitious enough for yourself. With your knowledge you'd do well in Rvenclaw however… the hat paused as it ventured once more.

"Loyal lies well with Hufflepuff, but no, no… Gryffindor is where you're bravery... Oh, my, the famous Harry Potter's sister. Now, you have caused me quite a stir, I haven't had this much fun since the founders." The hat muttered sounding wishfully.

"Now, then shinobi where to put you…"

"Tell me Hat-san the headmaster, Dumbledore does he have a say in some of the house picking?"

The hat chuckled, "On special occasion yes, however, for the most part no."

Haku thought for a moment. "Then where does he have the most control?"

"All," the hat whispered like the wind as he thought long and hard.

Haku frowned slightly. That posed a problem however, "Hat-san what are the two choices?"

That hat hummed as it answered finally," Hufflepuff or both the rival houses. Best two out of three, I'll say."

So it wasn't just two houses as choices then? However, the hat was very much about to just go with her own elements which were wind and water, but.

Snape blinked several times. The mission was canceled. Did he..? "No, complications have surfaced and I'll be sending team nine to the Wave Country. However, once Kakashi returns which….

"I had made it just in time, Hokage-Sama. " Kakashi poof on in soaking wet from the rain with two boys' on each shoulder.

Tsunade nodded taking in the boys' conditions and scowled. "Bring them to the hospital, Shizune." The woman in question replied with a Hai, before Tsunade could say her next order. Patch to them and Kakashi," she stood up.

"You are in charge of Sasuke until I return. Do whatever it takes to keep him here." Tsunade looked at her Jōnin in an austere manner; showing just how serious the situation was.

Kakashi nodded mutely.

He wasn't going to let those two near each other if complications like that arose again.

"Let's go, Snape."

Severus nodded and they were gone.

CRACK!

That very sound startled Dumbledore and his staff however, it not only startled them, but the hat as well causing it to shout out a house in which he said was a choice, but was reluctant to yell out. Gryffindor!

Or, maybe it wasn't and the hat just went with Haku's main motive in life.

The hat was taken off her head, but McGonagall looked on just as the others at the newcomer that arrived with Snape.

"Severus you've made it! Splendid and who is-

"Princess Tsunade the headmistress of the Akademī," Snape coolly introduced the woman who radiated power.

Eyes widen. Why was the headmistress here?

"It is a pleasure, "Dumbledore smiled kindly as he bowed slightly, "To meet you. I have only had my imagination, but moving on... What brings you here to Hogwarts, my lady?"

Tsunade folded her arms over her grey sleeveless kimono blouse; "Charmed." She swiftly glanced at Haku and Zabuza who stood up straight.

"Snape-san," Tsunade barked not turning away from her students.

Snape nodded taking out his wand while Dumbledore and the others excluding Dolores who was holding her tongue watched on with raised brows, wandering just what was about to happen.

The onlookers didn't understand, but apparently it was major.

"What you'd reckon, Albus?" McGonagall asked.

Dumbledore looked thoughtful.

However, it was Snape who answered. "Do not worry she won't do anything unless pushed. However, instead of writing a letter to inform them of events she has decided to come in person mainly she wanted to see the boy."

Dumbledore's eyes twinkled, "Then bring him in,"

McGonagall sighed long and hard before nodding and exiting the headmaster's office.

XX…

"I came personally to see the boy myself if there is something wrong than he will come doing the summer. How is everything?"

"It is very different, my Lady. However, it is just as Snape-san said: "Unique, magically so, but yet, it has its faults."

Tsunade nodded, "As expected. I presume you have entered the house in which Hari is in."

Haku nodded once more.

"Good now then, on to business… Uchiha, Sasuke has nearly succeeded in leaving the village."

"And, what does this have to with us? Last time I remember his mission with us has been terminated," Zabuza growled out.

Tsunade nodded feeling a headache coming. "Indeed, but he has been behaving nothing out of the ordinary until two days ago." Tsunade paused slightly, before continuing. "He may have been persuaded by Oroichimaru, but he had another reason to leave."

XX…

Harry was confused and thought McGonagall was going to announce something terrible, but when she stopped in front of him ; he immediately thought that Dumbledore had requested him however, she gave no indication that he did so.

They entered the office and Harry was now officially nervous. What was going on?

"Potter, "Snape spoke up with deep sneer. " You are here to greet Haku's headmistress," he gestured to the blonde woman with ponytails dressed in a grass-green Haori – Harry grinned Haku was dressed in Gryffindor colors.

The force field was dropped, "We're discuss this later," the woman said turning towards the crowd with Haku and Zabuza on either side.

"Are you Hari Potter, boy?"

Her accent was rough on the edges, but Harry still understood and nodded.

"I am, Headmistress-

"Tsunade," Tsunade eyes harden as she studied the boy who flinched slightly. For a shinobi or Kunoichi it was easy to make half lies truths. "Dumbledore-san..."

"Yes, is there something wrong?"

"The medical infirmary allow me to do a check up on, Harry. After all," she looked from Harry to the headmaster. "Haku is his family and if a time comes when he wants to visit a record will already be made for him."

Dumbledore frowned, "I 'm afraid I don't understand, my lady."

It wouldn't happen unless he followed or if Tsunade found something drastic which she could clearly see the boy was quite unhealthy. However, because he wasn't to get involved his memory would be erased and... The contract would-

Harry could only gape. The headmistress was going to give a place to go to if he couldn't go to Hogwarts and near his sister to boot!

"I think you can understand once it sinks in," Tsunade stated evenly.

"Very well, I'll have Madame Pomfrey help you out."

Snape sneered that wouldn't do. Dumbledore must take her for a fool she knew from him that- Snape smirked. This was just too perfect! Tsunade was a genius.

"I'll bring you there. Come along," he drawled out.

Tsunade nodded and Haku, Zabuza and Harry followed suit.

"Lady-Tsunade-samaa?" Haku called softly.

"Don't fret, Haku it is just so we can have better information about the boy, nothing to null the contract."

Harry who walked in the middle of his sister and her friend was confused, but had the nagging feeling it was about him.

"Pomfrey," said woman looked up from her work peering at Snape.

"Please tell me there isn't a student ...

"No, the headmistress from Haku's school has come and wishes to use the nurse's office."

Pomfrey looked as though she wanted to hyperventilate. Was this going to be an inspection?!

"Of course," she gave snape a look and he nodded reassuringly.

"I need the necessaries. A notepad, equipment, and Haku stay along the rest of you excluding the boy wait outside."

Harry finally asked, "Is this all necessary?"

"Relax, Harry-Kun. It will be over quickly."

And, Harry who could see nothing without his glasses blinked as the process was harmless. "Alright I have everything, Haku send them in," Tsunade ordered as she handed Harry back his glasses.

Dumbledore sent the teachers to the Great Hall and McGonagall took the hat along with her and the stool.

Snape sneered, "Come one to the Great Hall," and the only ones who stood in the office were Dumbledore and Tsunade.

"Listen here, Dumbledore." All pretenses gone. "I also came to warn you since my letter might not surface. Pry and- Tsunade cracked her knuckles walking pass him towards his desk.

Crash!

She turned around just as the desk broke in half. Her eyes and voice cold, "You'll find yourself in worse condition than this desk."

Snape who ventured back inside the office nearly flinched. Oh, he definitely didn't forget their first encounter. He glanced at Dumbledore who was silent, before seeing to it that Tsunade was back in Fire Country.

"I'll take my leave once again," Snape bowed respectfully.

Tsunade didn't even acknowledge the position's master; she had important business to attend to now that she was back in Konoha.

"How are they?"

Snape disappeared towards the Great Hall. While Dumbledore fixed his desk with a smile, Tsunade was interesting, a person he could not read either, but what was the fun in that?

Oh, know the perils, read the signs, the warning history shows, for our Hogwarts is in danger from external, deadly foes

And we must unite inside her or we'll crumble from within I have told you, I have warned you... let the Sorting now begin

Dumbledore arrived in the Great Hall just as the Sorting Hat finished its yearly song. Harry was unable to tell his friends of what happened in the Headmaster's office, but it seemed at the moment in time as they stared for a few minutes at Haku's scarlet attire that was of the Gryffindor house they had enough of surprises for one night.

"Look the headmaster just walked in," Harry looked up towards the head's table and frowned once seeing Umbridge.

"What is the matter, Harry-Kun?" Haku asked softly.

Harry whispered, "That's Umbridge, she was the judge at my trial. Why is she here though?"

Hermione frowned, "She's here that can't be good. The ministry's dog doesn't belong here at Hogwarts!"

Ron snickered at Hermione's choice of words.

Hermione eyes narrowed coming to a conclusion.

"It appears so, Granger –san and when that happens ..." Haku trailed off purposely.

Dumbledore clapped his hands and stood. "Let the sorting begin!"

McGonagall restrain from rolling her eyes she didn't need to be told something so vainly obvious. "When I call your name come up the platform, sit on the stool to be sorted by the hat."

Scared looking first years stood in a straight line as they were being called and sorted into their houses.

Dumbledore then stood once more over them all. "Welcome newcomers, Dumbledore held his arms outstretched in greeting a smile on his lips, "Welcome! Old hands- I'll have plenty of time to speak, but for now. Dig in!"

Mounds of food appeared on every table and once bellies were filled, Dumbledore stood up clapping his hands once more. "As you all know the forbidden forest is off limits-And our older students must know that as well (Ron, Hermione, and Harry smirked).

Haku pursed her lips so they have ventured there before. She and Zabuza shared a glance they would go sometime.

Dumbledore continued his speech however, he stopped abruptly confusing the staff and students, but then...

Konoha…

To say Kakashi was pissed was an understatement he was furious. After the hokage returned and was deemed them fine, he was once again to watch over them. However, that wasn't why he was furious on no. He was furious at the Uchiha who was currently looking towards the empty wall.

"Sasuke talk now."

The teen finally turned around eyes ablaze. "And, what? It won't help me, Kakashi. I've screwed up. "

"You damn right you did brat," Tsunade appeared near the doorway with her arms crossed looking just as stubborn as the brooding Uchiha.

N' cut! Sorry no missions like I had promised, but what do you think? Snape will still be able to teach Haku. Well, more to come! What do you think will this benefit Dumbledore or Voldemort with Haku in Gryffindor? How is Harry's information valuable to Tsunade? And when will someone notice Zabuza's sword?!

Better yet, what will happen next?
