Description: AU Naruto/HP Crossover. When Voldemort looks east for allies, the east decides to send guards for Harry Potter. What happens when Chakra meets magic? And what happens when someone that knows both comes into the picture?
Disclaimer: I'm putting this here and saying it once: I don't own Harry Potter, I don't own Naruto. Anything that comes from either series is not mine, including spells, characters, some bits of plotline I took from HBP, Jutsu, and anything else I'm missing that first appeared in either Naruto or the Harry Potter Book Series. Anything that looks to be new and different, however, IS mine, and should be treated accordingly.
Disclaimer 2: Like I said, this is completely AU. For the Naruto Fans, I took the characters right after Naruto went off for the Fifth and learned Rasegan (I butchered the spelling of that, I know) and I made them 16. Also, I decided that I want the Hogwarts Students to have robes in their house colors. There was another Fan Fic that did that (don't remember where) but I decided I liked it, so I'm tailoring the robes in the same factor. The other big one is that I'm ignoring what JK did with Blaise Zabini and playing with him on my own. There will be other small things I probably change, just keep in mind this is AU and go with it, K:) Also, in response to any questions about ships, I divulge none of them. :-D
A/N: I seem to find myself unable to stop with this story at the moment. I, of course, blame all of you. The current stats of this story stand at 2 C2 Groups, 21 people have this as a Favorite, and 27 people have it on alert, plus 21 reviews and over 3000 total hits. I know some stories probably have a lot more, but it's enough to keep me wanting to keep on typing. There's going to be a bit of time jumping in this chapter, as I want to start with the morning after the party and Ino's reactions, but then I want to move on. I want to hit Halloween soon, and with try outs, Hermione's birthday, and a little bit of action in general, there's so much to get done. And I hope to get a bunch of it, if not all of it, done in this chapter.
I say 'I Hope' because I write out these Authors Notes before I actually start on the chapter itself. So yeah. Who's up for Chapter Eight?
Chapter Eight: How did you do that?
Ino was in that world between sleep and awake when she heard a click and saw a flash. She didn't want to move, she was so comfortable and warm. The next thing her tired mind registered was a soft breathing.
She opened her eyes.
She wasn't in her dorm room, like she expected. Instead, she was in the common room, lying on a couch, apparently using two sets of robes as a blanket. But then what was her pillow?
She finally sat up, despite not wanting to, and saw Naruto, still wearing the clothes from last night, sitting right where her head had rested a moment ago. Memories crashed into her head, memories of a dance, a few hot stabs of jealousy, a lot of fire whisky, Naruto finding her drunk and not taking advantage, but instead carrying her first to a bathroom and then apparently here. Her cheeks burned as she realized she was covered in his robe as well as hers, and she sat up too fast, irritating her head. That's when Naruto decided to wake up. Ino cried out and fell off the couch.
"Ino? You OK?" Naruto asked, still apparently sleepy, yet concerned nonetheless.
Ino didn't answer; she snatched the robes and ran towards the girls dormitories.
"Ino?" Naruto called, now confused.
"Erm, um…" Ino stopped, two steps up the stairs.
"Um?" Naruto looked very confused, though his cheeks were a little red too.
"Um…thanks. For last night," she mumbled. She winced, her head was absolutely killing her.
"It wasn't a problem…" Naruto's voice trailed away as Ino dashed up the stairs.
"You might want to get changed, mate." Naruto turned around to see an amused Seamus standing behind him.
"Seamus? Why are girls so hard to understand?" Naruto asked. Seamus laughed as the boys went upstairs.
"Harry, you know we should do it," Kiba was saying. It had been two days since the party, and it was the first chance Kiba had to talk to Harry without both Ron and Hermione near him. Ron was out at the Quiddich pitch practicing, as Harry was holding try outs for the house team the next weekend. Hermione was off somewhere memorizing Juliet's part to Romeo and Juliet.
"I just snuck to Hogsmeade though; we could've picked up everything last time. Besides, we've never had a party for her," Harry said. He was trying to finish work on his Herbology essay, and Kiba wasn't helping.
"But that means she's past due. Come on, she deserves it, at least let me borrow the cloak if you won't come and help," Kiba begged. Harry stopped writing for a second and thought about it. She had always been there for him. And he had been spending more time with Ron, since he was alone and Hermione had Kiba. It really wasn't a bad idea…
Plus he felt a nudge at his leg, and when he looked down he almost burst out laughing. There, with the cutest, saddest look on his face, was Akamaru.
"Get Naruto to distract Ron, wait until I'm done with my essay, and we'll start planning," Harry finally said.
Kiba let out a jubilant whoop and ran up to the dorm room to find Naruto, leaving a chuckling Harry to finish his essay on the care of asphodel.
The evening of Friday, September 16th was an unusually warm one. Sasuke, however, wasn't pleased to be outside as a part of it. In fact, he would rather that he was very far away from it. It wasn't the company, as he was with Kimi, oh no. It was the fact that they had just gotten finished taking care of the Venomous Tentacula for the evening, harvesting some of its venom and feeding it. Professor Sprout had split the sixth year NEWT Herbology class into pairs, and assigned them each nights to take care of the dangerous, biting plant.
"I hate that plant." Sasuke declared as the two ninja left the greenhouse.
"Just because it bit you that one time," Kimi said with a snicker.
"Twice. It bit me twice. And I'm not allowed to burn it," Sasuke grumbled.
"You know, I've been bit by it a few times, and I don't hate it," Kimi replied.
"You didn't get bit in the bu-"
Where exactly Sasuke was bit remained unknown, however, as his complaint was cut off by the sound of a scream.
"It's a great night outside, don't you think Hermione?" asked Kiba. Hermione smiled at the boy, he was cute when he was all nervous like this. Kiba had dragged her away from her book that night, and now she was happy that he did. Ron kept shooting glares at the two of them, and poor Harry had gotten so frustrated with his two friends not speaking that he stomped off to the library, followed shortly by an irritated Ino.
"It's absolutely gorgeous Kiba. Now, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?" Hermione answered. Kiba stopped walking. Akamaru was chasing something in the grass, and Hermione couldn't help but notice how beautiful the place they were was. It was dusk, so the orange color from the setting sun was reflecting off the water of the lake. The Forbidden Forest was behind them.
Kiba looked at her and his mouth went dry. The sun reflecting off her brown hair and casting shadows on her face painted an absolutely gorgeous picture. So gorgeous, in fact, that he didn't even notice the clicking sound coming from behind him.
"Er…Hermione? You like being friends with me, right?" asked Kiba, clearly shuffling his feet nervously.
"Well, of course. Why would you think otherwise?" Hermione asked, confused.
"Doyouwanttobemorethanjustfriendswithme?"
"Kiba, I didn't quite catch that," Hermione said, even more confused.
Kiba sighed and took a deep breath before beginning to repeat himself.
"Do you want to be more than just friends with me?" he asked. Hermione's eyes were wide, a smile on her face. Before she said anything though, her eyes widened and her face paled, before she let out a scream.
"I think she'd rather be friends with us."
Kiba spun around to see two people in long dark robes with a red design on them that were wearing wide brimmed straw hats. Akamaru jumped next to Kiba and started growling. Kiba grabbed Hermione's arm and pulled her directly behind him.
"I think not," Kiba growled. He picked up Akamaru and fed him a few food pills before popping some into his own mouth. Akamaru grew and turned red before stepping in front of Hermione with a growl.
"Aw, you're going to fight me?" the other man cooed.
"If you don't get away from us, we'll take you. Right, Akamaru?"
Akamaru barked in assent.
"I'll take him Itachi." The man to the left said before taking off his hat and tossing off his robes. He had spiky short gray hair and a blue-gray tinged skin tone. Hermione whimpered, staring at the three slits in each cheek bone that resembled gills. His eyes were cruel, and on his forehead he wore a dark blue band with a silver plate on it. The silver plate had what looked like four small, squiggly lines engraved in it, but was also broken right down the middle. He heaved out a huge blade and grinned at Kiba in a sadistic way.
"Just don't play too long Kisame," the shorter one replied in a tone that suggested he was bored.
"Like he'll last," Kisame snorted, before jumping to the left. A knife was stuck in a tree right where his head was not two seconds ago.
"We'll see who lasts. Akamaru, protect Hermione," Kiba ordered. Akamaru whined but moved to do as he said.
"Kiba, what's going on?" Hermione asked, voice quivering.
"We're here to kidnap you to get at your little Harry. We're ordered to kill him," the shorter one, Itachi replied.
"Over my dead body!" Kiba yelled.
"If that's what you want," Itachi said with a nod. At that moment Kiba launched himself at the smaller man, only to be blocked by Kisame's sword.
"I'm your opponent, dog boy."
And so the fight began. Kiba leapt at Kisame, aiming to take out his arm and make him drop the sword. Kisame spun around and slashed at Kiba. Kiba tried to dodge, but the blade shaved a bit off his arm, and seemed to take more than just flesh.
"My sword shaves you chakra just as well as it shaves your skin. Sure you don't want to run home, tail between your legs?" Kisame taunted. Kiba let loose another growl and jumped at him again.
Hermione stared in shock at the fight. The information she just learned hadn't sunk into her head yet, but she could tell that Kiba was losing. He could dodge most of this Kisame's attacks, but he couldn't do all that much damage on his own.
"While they're busy, I'll be taking you, Hermione Granger. Please come with me peacefully, so I don't have to bother hurting you," Itachi said.
"NO!" Hermione yelled, before picking up a rock and throwing it at him. Itachi easily dodged the rock, and made to grab her, only to be intercepted by Akamaru.
"Please. A dog as my opponent? I should be insulted," Itachi said.
"The dog is not your opponent, Itachi."
As soon as they heard Hermione scream Sasuke and Kimi ran towards the sound. They arrived just in time to see Kiba battling with Kisame, and Itachi walking towards Hermione. A hate like Kimi had never seen flared in Sasuke's eyes as he called out to his brother.
"The dog is not your opponent, Itachi."
"Sasuke. You as my opponent would be more insulting than the dog," Itachi replied. In a flash too quickly for Hermione to catch, Sasuke and Kimi were in front of her. Sasuke was holding six knives, three in each fist, and had his arms crossed in front of him. Kimi was next to him, wand in one hand, a knife identical to Sasuke's in the other.
"Akamaru, I have Kimi with me now. Go help Kiba," Hermione said. Akamaru looked at Kimi who nodded.
"I won't leave this spot," she said. Akamaru yipped and moved to go help his partner, who was losing badly without him. Kisame spun his blade at him and got a direct hit, knocking the wind out of the younger ninja. Kiba went down, gasping for air and in pain as the blade shaved into him and drained more chakra.
"Kiba, Kiba, Kiba. Can't you feel your chakra draining? No? Well then I suppose I should finish this," Kisame sneered. Kiba glared at him, and watched as the blade swung through the air, getting ready to slice him one last time. He was trying to will his hand to move towards his pocket where he kept his soldier pills. The sword sliced down towards him, until at the last second it was jerked to the side. Kiba managed to move his arm and grab a pill just as Akamaru landed in front of him. A glance towards Hermione told him that she was being guarded by Kimi, so he popped the pill into his mouth, and started his hand seals.
"NOW we can play," he growled with a grin. "Gujyuu Ninpou Shijayaju no Jutsu!"
"Aww, you and the little dog will be working together now? How precious," Kisame sneered. Kiba answered by giving Akamaru the signal for double fang destroyer.
Next to them, Sasuke's hand was glowing blue with his chidori jutsu. While the fight between him and his brother was going better than it did four years ago, he was still clearly on the losing side. Though he was getting hurt, part of him was grateful that Kimi was staying out of it and guarding Hermione. After all, this was his vengeance. His fight.
"Poor little brother. Still can't hate me enough, can you?" Itachi taunted. While he was doing that, Sasuke feinted, as if to go at him with a kick. Itachi dodged, and Sasuke feinted again. Itachi dodged again, and this time Sasuke hit him with the chidori. Itachi dodged some of it, but there was a slice in his side, and blood started to flow. When Itachi landed and looked into Sasuke's hate filled eyes, this time he looked serious.
"I'm done playing now Sasuke. You like your vengeance? How about I give you a forty-eight hour reminder as to why you need to be so vengeful."
Sasuke found himself staring into his brother's eyes. Next thing he knew, he was a small child, running down the street, going home.
No. Not again! NOT AGAIN!
Sasuke screamed.
"One more time is all we have Akamaru," Kiba whispered. He and his dog were both tired. They hadn't managed to do more than nick their opponent, and it looked like Kisame was getting ready to finish it for real this time.
"Hermione, run," Kiba said as he began to black out. His biggest regret was that the last thing he would see is that weird shark scale sword descending on him.
"STUPEFY!"
As soon as Sasuke started screaming, Kimi was done. She looked over at Hermione and the two females nodded: It was time for back up. Hermione turned towards Kiba and Kisame, and Kimi stared directly into Sasuke's eyes.
"I hope this works," she muttered to herself. In theory it would, but until that moment she'd never had a chance to try it out.
"LEGILIMENS!" she cried out, pointing her wand at Sasuke.
"STUPEFY!" Hermione pointed her wand at that Kisame fellow, and dropped him from behind. She then ran over to Kiba and Akamaru. Kneeling next to the pair, she started employing every healing charm she could think of to start getting them patched up. After an enervate spell, Kiba woke up and groggily looked at her.
"Am I dead?" he asked. Hermione let out a laugh and the tears started to fall down her face.
"I'd certainly say so," she replied.
"And Kisame?"
"Stunned. Enervate." A wave of her wand and Akamaru was awake too. Kiba picked up the dog and gathered him to his chest.
"What about Itachi?" Kiba asked.
"I don't know. He said something about forty eight hours of reminding Sasuke why he needs to seek vengeance, and started staring at him. Sasuke screamed, and Kimi used Legilimency. Sasuke stopped screaming, but they haven't moved since."
'That's not good. Itachi is making Sasuke relive his worst memory again and again, and he's making it seem like it lasts two days. What's Legilimency?" Kiba asked, looking worriedly towards the group. It should have been done by now if it went normally.
"It's almost like mind reading. I don't know what effect it will have if Itachi's already messing with his mind though." Hermione had just finished her sentence when finally, someone moved.
Kimi found herself in a black and white world. Looking down at herself, she saw that she was still in color.
"Let's see how well this works," she said in an echoey voice. Her theory was that Itachi's jutsu completely took over Sasuke's mind. Because it completely took his mind over, she reasoned that if she tried to use an ability that would affect his thoughts and memories, i.e. his mind, she would be pulled into the jutsu instead. Now all that remained was to see if she could affect Itachi's trap. If she could, then everything should be fine. If she couldn't, she would be stuck watching Sasuke's family die over and over again. Cocking her head to the side, she heard a small boy crying.
"Sasuke-kun," she whispered. She ran over towards a black and white building, and found the boy crying inside.
"SASUKE-KUN!" she yelled. Kimi ran over to the boy and tried to pick him up, turn him away from the sight of his slaughtered family. Most unfortunately, her arms went right through him.
"Damn it," she muttered. "Come on Kimi, concentrate. Concentrate…relax…ocean waves crashing, float on the ocean waves…"
Kimi continued muttering this to herself, trying to clear her mind so she would have more control, and every few lines trying to touch the small child. He faded in and out three more times before she managed to catch him when he ran through the door and lifted him up. Quickly Kimi suppressed a feeling of triumph as she lifted up the boy and looked Sasuke in the eye.
"Sasuke-kun, do you want to see this?" she asked.
"No," Sasuke whimpered.
"Then you don't have to." She started to walk out, but was interrupted by a cry of rage. She spun around to see an irate Itachi standing behind her.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" he howled. The image around them shimmered as Itachi's anger started getting in the way of the calm he needed to maintain the illusion.
"Taking Sasuke-kun away from this memory," Kimi replied coolly. "What are you doing here?"
"I KILLED YOU! I'VE BEEN HUNTING DOWN THAT NECKLACE FOR YEARS NOW!" Itachi screamed. Kimi could feel him reasserting himself, and she knew that if she didn't find a way to enrage him quickly, he would still be able to run the illusion, and even if it didn't affect Sasuke as much with her there, it would still be terribly draining on her.
"I don't have your necklace," Kimi scoffed. That was when an idea formed. Quickly she undid the top bit of Sasuke's shirt, and revealed what was against his chest. There was a necklace. It was made up of several circles linked with golden chains. The red circles were actually the design of the Sharingan, the brothers' family blood line. It was also the necklace that symbolized the leader of the Uchiha clan.
"What's that then?" Itachi asked, a deadly ring to his voice.
"That's the present I got for Sasuke for his birthday back in June," Kimi replied calmly. Inside her head though, she was starting to slip. No matter how calm she was, the last time she did this to Itachi…
"He has no right to that necklace," Itachi said.
"You're just a weak murderer. Couldn't even get it the right way, you just had to kill everyone to show off this so called power of yours. Sasuke-kun is working to better your clan and make it great again. You did the opposite. You have no right to wear it," Kimi taunted.
Itachi let loose a cry of rage, and Kimi's eyes widened in fear. The small, trembling boy slid through her hands as the fear broke her calm barrier, and fell back to the floor.
Luckily for her, the illusion wasn't maintained for more than a moment as a rage broke through Itachi's own barrier. Kimi suddenly found herself, Sasuke, and Itachi outside again. She swayed on her feet, trying not to collapse as Itachi stormed over to her. One back hand later, and that resolve was gone, she was on the ground barely able to move. Her body was physically fine, disregarding the hit, but her mind was totally exhausted.
"I thought I taught you this lesson once, apparently I didn't teach it well enough," Itachi growled. Kimi closed her eyes, accepting her death with regret, when instead of dying she heard a howl of pain. Opening her eyes, she saw Itachi pull a knife out of his arm, and glare hatefully at his little brother.
"We're not finished yet Itachi," he growled, striding over. Itachi's eyes took in the situation, and seeing his team mate stunned, decided that retreating would be the better option.
"For now we are. Next time, I will kill you both." With that said, Itachi grabbed his partner and was gone.
"Are you guys alright?" Kimi turned her head to see Hermione, Kiba, and Akamaru making their way over to the two of them, but roughly found her head jerked back towards Sasuke. Kimi recoiled visibly when she saw his eyes, they were dancing with hate and madness.
"How did you do that?"
A/N: Stay tuned for Chapter Nine, where we get to find out about Kimi's past, why she knows magic, and what her ulterior motive was for inviting herself along on this mission was! And don't start with the "OMG SHES TOO POWERFUL" stuff, because I'm telling you right now that while a ninja couldn't have done what she did (at least not likely) Snape, Dumbledore, Draco Malfoy, Voldemort, and other various witches and wizards out there could have. For the hint as to why, check out the spell she used. (And that's a pretty big hint)
Oh, and there's a birthday party. Depending on what I have for time tomorrow I may end up doing this then, but otherwise I have a super busy week, so it might take a little while to update.
