Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter figures Or any of the Soul Calibur II Names. The only thing I posses, is a creative mind, a computer, and a hell of a lot of free time on my hands. What I'm really trying to say is, don't sue me, I don't have any money to give you, and you be better off sueing McDonalds like the rest of them.
Pairings : none at the current time, but there will be, I'm planning a pairing of hermione and Ron and Someone with harry, but don't quote me on it yet, I'm not sure if I will or not
the only death( I plan) should be Voldemorte, just because I can't have the main character snuffing it, he's too important, and cute for that matter

A Bird And A Sword
Harry couldn't tell whether or not he wanted to live anymore... being under the control of the death eaters wasn't something he wanted to be doing, yet he really had no choice. A teenage boy against at least fifteen grown wizards was not exactly a fair game, but then again, nothing was fair in the world of Voldemorte supporters, at least that's what his body was telling him.
"What are you smirking at? Is this just another game to the great Harry Potter!" yelled Bellatrix Lestrange as she yanked on the rope that was tied to his hands. His body gave a jolt and in a second he was laying on the ground, his shoulder in intense pain.
"Way to go Bella, you've dislocated his shoulder" said another random death eater kicking Harry in the side. He wheezed and curled up, trying to mutter a spell to take away the pain, but alas, they'd taken his wand as well.
"ENOUGH!" yelled a high cruel voice. Suddenly the brutal blows to his body stopped, and all that hurt was his shoulder and the cut, shaped like a check mark, across his cheek.
"Did I not instruct you to watch over him? I want him alive you imbeciles" said the voice, a strong pair of arms flipping Harry over onto his back, causing him to cry in pain as his dislocated arm smacked the ground hard. He looked up into the blood red eyes of his adversary, Voldemorte.
The Dark lord stared down at the 16 year old underneath him. He laughed when the pained look transformed into one of pure hatred and loathing.
" I'm surprised you have enough strength to even glare at me Potter, but no matter, you will not soon enough.. The dark lord does not let his chances slip by so easily" the man said laughing cruelly as he stepped away from Harry. The boy stared back at him through his bruised eye. What in the bloody hell was this man talking about? Suddenly, Voldemorte turned around and pointed his wand at Harry.
"CRUCIO!" he yelled. Harry's eyes immediately began to water as he screamed in pain, the curse traveling through his veins and his senses. If he'd been sent to a muggle hospital, at least he now knew what it felt like when they yelled CLEAR!. His vision began to blur as tears streamed out of them. He looked up to the sky, knowing that this was going to be his end, and miraculously he saw a black phoenix, soaring in circles around the group of laughing death eaters. Instantly the memory of his last Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson came to his mind.
"Normally the black phoenix is a death omen, but only to those with weak hearts. In other's it's a sign of salvation, and hope. Whether that person be dying or in extreme pain, the black phoenix is the one that chooses it's master, and it will stand beside it, until it's master's dying days and then some"
Harry felt tears running down his face as he looked up to the phoenix again. 'Please, somebody help me... I don't want to die.. I want to live' he prayed silently, letting out another scream as the curse was absorbed by his body once again.
The nest thing that happened confused everyone within the area. Harry's scar began to glow an illuminated black color, and phoenix song rang through the clearing in the forest. Voldemorte looked up to see the black phoenix beginning to enlarge, becoming the size of a teenage dragon. He blinked and looked down to Potter and gasped.
"Kill the bird!" he yelled as the death eater's raised their wands, trying to shoot down the magnificent animal. All attempts were worthless however, as the bird just swerved around the jets of light and dived. The death eaters took cover and watched in fear as the Phoenix gently picked Harry up in one of it's taloned legs, and took off. Voldemorte screamed in agony of defeat, Harry Potter, had slipped through his hands once again. Thousands of Miles away in the castle of Hogwarts, three people sat bolt right up in their beds all screaming the same thing..."HARRY!"
He could feel the pain in his body, tens of thousands of bolts of energy coursing through his veins. He wanted to be dead, he wanted to meet his parents.. He just wanted to die. But somehow a voice kept calling out to him, soothingly, lovingly, and he found himself opening his eyes to a blinding white room. When his eyes focused he saw a woman standing in front of him smiling.
"Hello Harry, have a nice rest?" the woman asked as he sat up slowly, only to have her push him back down.
" Don't try to move, it hurts worse within your unconscious mind" she said as he relaxed onto the pillows.
"Where am I?" he asked as she smiled.
"Your mind palace.. It's really difficult to explain at this moment, but just know that this isn't death, just the unconscious state of your mind" she said, and he noticed the two colorful wings on her back.
"Who are you?" he asked as she smiled and sat next to the bed he was laying on.
" My name is Vivacity, and I am the essence of your life. When you were just born, Duration created me and my brother's and sisters..And well, the creator created her.. We control your life in some sense.. Like a conscience, without you knowing about it" she said as he looked at her.
"You control my life?" he asked
" Something to the point of that. I control your life, the things that happen when you are living, which means that I have more authority than most of my brothers and sisters. Take Validity for example, the essence of your strength.. He controls how you defend yourself with words, and physical actions" she said as he nodded.
"We're working overtime for you Harry, because Duration has more in store for you than you could imagine, that is why I am here talking to you now, I'm here to tell you that from the moment you wake up, you will be beginning a new life, putting the past behind you" she said
"But I don't want to forget my past! I've got friends, and family" he pleaded as she put a delicate pale finger over his lips.
"That's not quite what I meant. I only meant that you would begin a new journey, a journey that will lead you to the victory over your adversary, lead you to believe in what is within you, but you must take this concept to heart, don't lose sight of what you hold dear, otherwise you will lose it forever, and you cannot gain it back" she said as he thought for a second.
"So, as long as I don't forget about my family, my friends, and school, and wherever I belong, I'll be okay?" he asked as she smiled and kissed his forehead.
"You are a very smart young man, now, I'm going to let you wake up now, please remember what I have said" she reminded touching his eyes, blocking out the wonderful smell and feeling of being in that white room.
All of a sudden the pain returned to his body, causing him to jerk his eyes open and sit up, aggravating the pain much more.
"Iye! Lay back down! you're going to hurt yourself again!" said a female voice from his side as someone pushed him pack onto comfortable bedding.
"Where am I?"he asked, feeling a cold cloth on his forehead.
"You are in the wizarding Hisui village in Kyoto, Japan" said the voice as he turned his head.
"I'm, in Japan?" he asked as the female next to him nodded. He took a second to look her over. She had long brown hair tied off at different intervals. Around her forehead was a bandana with on Japanese symbol on it. Her clothing consisted of a blue and gold kimono, in which he saw a wand tucked into the belt.
"How did I end up here!" he questioned as the girl smiled
"The mighty Tori brought you here. You were very hurt. Your shoulder was dislocated, and the newly made scar of your cheek was bleeding. That's when I saw the scar upon your forehead and I knew who you were, Harry Potter" she said as he sighed.
"What's a..Tori? All I remember was seeing the black phoenix.. And then everything went blank" he said as the girl nodded pointing to a stand in the corner of the room.
"Tori, is bird in my language, the phoenix, as you call it dropped you off in the back of the dojo while my Haha oh I mean, my mother, was teaching her class..." she explained as the so called bird flew over to Harry's side. He reached a hand up and stroked the birds head.
"Thank you...Nightmare" he said naming the bird in an instant.
He then turned back to the girl who was dabbing things onto a wound on his arm.
"Can I ask you your name?" he asked as she smiled
" My name is Talim, and I am the daughter of the master of the Kali-Yuga style, Seung Mina. The fates have told us of your arrival, that a savior would come to train under our undying trust and save us all" she said as Harry smiled a bit
" I'm trying to save the world a bit at a time, but being caught by Voldemorte doesn't help any bit" he said as she smiled, pulling out her wand and tapping his wrist where bandages flew onto it and wrapped it up.
"You should be able to walk in no time, we've been instructed by the fates to care for you, train you... I suppose you have not finished your wizarding school yet?" she asked as he shook his head.
" All is well then, My older brother can teach you" she said as he nodded.
"Talim-chan! Sa ikimasho" yelled a woman's voice from out the door.
"Chotto Matte Kudasai Haha, I will return later, try to get some sleep, I can tell that you have not had it in a while." she stood and then looked down at him "When I come back, you can tell me all about yourself, and Hogwarts. I'd love to know what other schools are like" she said running from the room. Harry lay there staring after her until a soft crooning noise brought him back to life . He looked over to Nightmare who cocked his head to the side as if asking "are you alright?"
"Well Nightmare, it looks like I have got a lot a head of me... I might as well.. Take Talim's..advice and.." he slowly slid his eyes shut, resting his hand on the bird's head, Talim had been correct...he was extremely famished.. Maybe a few hours couldn't hurt anything, and he surely thought that he deserved it.
The castle was still in an uproar, Harry Potter was missing and no one could find him… not to mention Sirius Black was extremely pissed.
"Can't we just send out parties to look for him? He can't be that far away? It's only been about a week!" he said as Remus Lupin rubbed his temples for the seventh time that hour.
"Sirius, we're doing everything in our possible power to find Harry, but you heard Dumbledore, he can't be found in any of the buildings that are currently holding death eaters, it's like he just disappeared" he said as Sirius flopped in a chair.
"Remus, I promised him that I was going to protect him, and that I wouldn't let anything happen to him, I've already broken that promise to him" he sighed.
" You really shouldn't be so hard on yourself" came a child's voice from the side of the room. The two men looked up at her and gasped. She looked to be only about ten years old, and she had soft rosy pink wings. Her red hair was pulled back into long pigtails and her emerald green eyes twinkled with love. In her hands she held a round globe like ball, image's swirling within the mists.
"Lily?"they asked as the little girl giggled.
"My name is Affection, I'm one of Master Harry's guardians" she said
"Guardians?"
"Yup! Every human being has guardians over the every day aspects of their lives, I control Harry's love and well, sexual life, when he's ready for it of course… and he doesn't blame you, but he misses you" she said as Sirius stood up
"Where is he? Where have the death eater's taken him?" he asked as she sighed
"Sorry, I'm not aloud to tell anyone, Future told me not to, but the death eaters didn't take him anywhere but to lord Voldemorte, the black phoenix however has taken him to a place of help, and safety" she said as they stood there
"Will we ever see him again? He's got to be alone out there by himself"Sirius said as she shook her head and the ball in her arms disappeared.
"Nope, he's okay but that's not why I appeared to you, the real reason is to give you this" she said as an sword and sheath appeared in her arms.
"What is that?"
"It's called the Soul Calibur, the sword that Merlin once fought with along side Excalibur and King Arthur.. it's the greatest magic weapon in the entire wizarding world, next to that of Soul Edge... and Muggle world now that I think about it" she said setting it in Sirius's hands.
"What are we supposed to do with a sword that we can't even wield" Remus asked as she smiled
" Have a tournament of course. You want Harry to return home, that's the key" she said in her child-like voice. They looked at her in confusion.
"Oh boy… listen this is how it goes. Harry is stuck in a place where they teach the martial art's , which means he's more than likely going to be interested" she said as they nodded " Right, so once he builds up his strength in both his magic and his physical self, then he'd be able to turn any weapon into…"
"A Magical device" Remus finished as she giggled and clapped.
"Good for you, Ok so if he as able to do that, he could beat any minor enemy, but that still leaves Voldemorte. But what if there was a weapon that every wizard in time was willing to get their hands on? Something that could be a threat to the earth, or an omen, depending on who's hands it lay" she said as Sirius Lit up
"The Soul Calibur!So you're saying that if we create a tournament, and the prize is the Soul Calibur, then both Voldemorte and Harry will be willing to compete for it!" he said as she nodded
" Use the sword as a fishing rod, you have to reel them in" she said as Sirius nodded.
"If it will bring me back my godson, by Merlin I will do it" he said as she waved her hand up and down.
"Then you get to it, I have to get back to my job now, have fun" she said and faded away. The two men looked at each other.
" She was really cute for a little girl, hard to believe that a child controls Harry's love and sex life... and that's just to funny to think about"Sirius said as they walked from the room.
"well if you think about it, Harry hasn't really matured enough to love anybody, I'm sure that as soon as he finds his true love, Affection will mature as well" he said as they walked toward Dumbledore's office.
Alright, there you have it, sorry the chapters are really short, I just have to find the right place to stop them and the places end up making it short. But, how did you like it? Good, Bad, in between? I'd really like it if you went and gave me a review. And Flames are welcome, I need good criticism .
