Chapter 20

Nymphadora Tonks was asleep, snoring gently when the bucket of cold water came splashing over her, waking her up. A familiar giggle caused Tonks eyes to snap to the laughing form of Karai. The raven haired girl's wand was out, and with a small flick, the bucket fell down on top of Tonks' head. Tonks screamed with rage as she was tied up in the sheets that were wrapped around her.

"Sorry Nymphadora. It had to be done," said Karai with a laugh.

"Karai, you better get this bucket off my head or Sirius will have to pay for a bloody funeral!" yelled Tonks, as she started to pull herself out of the sheets.

"Who died?" Karai asked as she went back to her room. Tonks finally pulled herself free and read the clock in the room.

"It's four o'clock in the bloody morning!" she screamed.

"I have to train," called Karai. "And as Madam Bones said, You have to guard me."

"It's four in the morning Karai. Surely it can wait until later," Tonks groaned with a growl, as she cast a drying charm on her sheets and the nighty she was wearing.

"No, it can't. Anyway, you just want to get back to your wet dream of bouncing in Remus's lap," replied Karai with a grin. "Or it could have been a girl."

"I blame Sirius. He has now officially corrupted a teenage girl," muttered Tonks, as she slowly started to get dressed into her Auror robes.

"Cheer up Cousin. It could be fun. All you have to do is watch me," Karai said, dressing in the same tight fitting outfit that she turned up in last night. "Plus I need Aunt Sakura to get here soon. I've got no clothing available."

Hours later

Tonks yawned out of tiredness. Karai sat opposite her, digging into a plate of bacon, eggs and beans. The whispers surrounded the pair as the great hall reacted to the fact that the Girl-Who-Lived was dressed in unusual clothing.

"Well, little cousin. Seems like you are making gossip already," Tonks said, as she started to spread butter onto her toast.

"Nymphadora, I can't do anything to this. It's spell-proof and I've got nothing else," said Karai, before she drained a glass of milk.

"I know. But you are giving most of the guys a very nice view," whispered back Tonks.

"Been looking Dora?" replied Karai, causing the metamorph to turn red. Karai happily chuckled as she looked at the arrival of the French champion. The Veela sat down next to Karai and whispered, "I'm sorry about how you were forced to compete in this."

Karai then replied in French, "I'm sorry that I took away your moment of glory," causing Fleur's eyes to widen in shock.

"My father has cast support with the Americans. Your family should be here soon. Your aunt, Sakura, met with him hours ago," whispered Fleur.

"Who's your father?" Karai asked.

"He's the vice French president of our M.O.M," replied Fleur with pride. "He's a great man."

"I'm sure he is," Karai replied in English, Fleur nodded before she left to return to her school mates.

Tonks leaned in and asked. "What was that all about?"

"We've got another ally," Karai said, before sighing as the great hall got louder due to what they just saw between Karai and Fleur. "Bloody sheep," she swore before a small grin appeared.

"What are you up to now Karai?" Tonks asked warily, realizing the grin as one of mischief.

"Tonks, Could we give these sheep something to really talk about and throw another fake wrench into Dumbledore's plan?"

"What is it?" asked Tonks, looking nervous.

"Sorry," whispered Karai before she stood up and kissed Tonks hard on the lips, causing the hall to exploded with anger and disbelief. Karai titled her head so that she could kiss Tonks and watch Albus Dumbledore. Green eyes met sky blue and the message was clearly sent. Karai is going to ruin any plan he had for her. The twinkle seem to brighten as the game of control began.

The wind picked up as the portkey landed, dropping several people onto the hard stone floor. Sakura and Headmaster Donovan were the only one who arrived on their feet. Sakura glared at the foot soldiers she brought. All of them were magical and heavily trained in combat as well.

"Assemble as quickly as you can," Sakura ordered, causing the men to scramble to their feet. Remus stumbled out of the group and stood beside Donovan. The squad leader stepped forward and bowed in respect.

"My lady. The men are yours to command," he said. Sakura glanced up to her right to see the high walls of Hogwarts and the castle within.

"Head for the forest. Set up camp and be prepared. If I need back up, I'll send Karai or Remus with a message," She ordered. As the group rushed passed, Sakura turned to Donovan and Remus. "Let's go."

Karai was floating in mid air as Tonks hovered her over the lake. "What the hell was going through your bloody mind?" Tonks screamed at Karai. Her hair and eyes bright red in anger.

"I did warn you." replied Karai before she screamed as she went crashing down into the water because of Tonks' dropping her into the lake. The water rippled as Karai connected with the water before she sank under.

"Karai?" asked Tonks, edging her way into the water as there was no sign of the teenage girl. "KARAI!" she shouted, moving into the water, failing to notice the shadow that appeared in the water behind her. Seconds later, the water parted and Karai attached herself to Tonks' back causing her to fall face first into the water.

This resulted in a water fight that brought the attention from the students of Hogwarts, and they watched in stunned silence at the view of two rather hot women, fighting, in soaked clothes.

Dumbledore and his staff appeared inside minutes. "Miss Potter. Miss Tonks!" yelled Dumbledore.

"Yes, Dumb-as-a-Door," replied Karai as she separated away from Tonks and floated on the surface on the water.

"Get out. You are causing a scene," commanded Dumbledore.

"Ask me if I care," Karai said in boredom.

"What?" asked Dumbledore shocked at the question.

"Ask me if I Care?" repeated Karai.

"Do you care?" muttered Dumbledore, half to himself and half to Karai.

"Nope," Karai said, before she looked to the other side of the lake. "I wonder how long it would take me to swim there?" she muttered.

"It doesn't matter. You need to get out now!" Dumbledore ordered.

"You're not my headmaster, Dumbledore. I don't really care what you say," Karai evenly.

"I'm not your headmaster, I accept. But I am your Legal Magical Guardian!" shouted Dumbledore in fury.

"I believe you are mistaken Dumbledore," stated a cool sounding voice. Everyone looked to the side to see Sakura, Remus and Donovan. Sakura with her wand out and pointing directly at Dumbledore.

"Aunt Sakura," yelled Karai happily, as she struggled to her feet.

"Who are you?" asked Dumbledore, as Karai climbed out of the lake and ran over to Sakura, who cast a quick drying charm on the soaked girl, to give her a hug before moving on to Remus.

"I'm Akimoto Sakura or Mrs. Lupin. Take your pick," growled Sakura. "Now, why was my daughter kidnapped and brought over to this place?"

"Your daughter?" Dumbledore said, paling at the words before he tried to gain control of the situation. "I'm afraid that Ms. Potter's name came out of the Goblet. She must stay at Hogwarts and compete in the tournament."

"The Tri-Wizard is taking place? Dumbledore, I warned you not to go through with that," said Donovan as he stepped forward.

"It was in the spirit of magical co-operation," Dumbledore replied, clearly not happy to see Donovan.

"If you wanted Magical co-operation, your people must stop with the pure-blood ideal bull! It's has caused a civil war in your country and yet you carry on with it!" Donovan yelled. "Worst of all, my student, as a result of your arrogance, is now in a tournament with an unbelievably high death rate!"

"I'm sorry that has happened, but we have improved the tasks and made it completely safe. Harley must take part as the magical contract states," Dumbledore said.

"Okay then, first, her name is Karai, Oroku Karai if you want to get specific. Second, I want to see that contract," Sakura said, as she put her wand away. "By the way Dumbledore, I'm not happy with this. Expect anything, because you kidnapped my daughter. Don't try to sleep tonight," she muttered to Dumbledore so that only Sakura and Dumbledore could hear what was said.

"Aunt Sakura. I have private quarters thanks to Madam Bones and Tonks. Do you have any clothes?" asked Karai, as she detached herself from Remus.

"Yeah cub. We brought your clothes over with us," Remus said, before he noticed Tonks who was still soaking wet. "Tonks, What happened to you?"

"Your little princess there," Tonks growled as she cast a quick drying charm on her robes. Remus turned to face Karai who just tried to look innocent. Remus shook his head with a small smile, as the group set off up to the castle. All of the students were whispering around them as Karai was shielded from the Hogwarts students by the adults.
