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: Hello again. My apologies for not updating sooner, but the fic suffered from two serious diseases. Exam-itis and Reset-itis. What are these two diseases you ask?

Exam-itis: A condition that afflicts a fan fic when the author is busy with exams. It is most severe when said author is busy with exams in subjects they aren't particularly good at (i.e. CHEMISTRY).

Reset-itis: A condition that afflicts a fan fic when an author's computer is reset on them, wherein the resetter didn't bother to see if said author had a text file up, and therefore erased the first five pages or so of said fanfic. The condition is especially harmful when the fanfic is suffering from Exam-itis , which means the author doesn't have time to retype said five pages or so.

A few answers from the reviews:

In case anyone cares, I didn't even notice Kimi meant 'she who is without equal' until it was mentioned in a review – it was mostly a Japanese name I liked that I could easily spell. Maybe I should check meanings first.

As for Naruto and Sasuke not hanging out much, it's more of a Naruto is in Gryffindor and Sasuke is in Slytherin thing. You tend to spend most of your time with your housemates in Hogwarts, and Slytherins and Gryffindors don't exactly get along all that well in general. Doesn't mean there are not a few Slytherin/Gryffindor relationships out there, but on a general basis they hate each other, and said relationships and friendships are kept quiet.

Another note: I've decided to just keep both stories together and do several scenes, such as Kiba and Hermione's picnic and Hermione's birthday party as separate one shots if people want to read them. So review and let me know, alright?

That's it for now. On to Chapter Nine, the long awaited chapter of Kimi's past.


Chapter Nine: Kimi's Past

"How did you do that?" Sasuke bellowed again when Kimi didn't answer him. Kimi didn't move from her position on the ground, except to shift to a slightly more comfortable position for her head.

"Sasuke-kun, I'm tired and I have a headache. Let me sleep," Kimi mumbled before closing her eyes and starting to drift off.

"HOW? How did you pull me out of that illusion? How did you enrage him? How did you get the necklace? HOW?" Sasuke yelled. He reached down and shoved Kimi to the side, putting her on her back and making her look up at him. Her eyes were tired, but they had darkened to a darker lavender in irritation.

"Damn it Sasuke, let me SLEEP," Kimi snapped back. Sasuke reached down to her shoulders, grabbed them, and started shaking her.

Kimi, if you don't quit messing around and tell me, so help me I'll –"

"STUPIFY!"

Sasuke fell over on top of Kimi, who, true to her word, immediately fell asleep. Kiba looked over at Hermione, who was still pointing her wand at Sasuke.

"I…I thought he'd hurt her," Hermione explained, her voice shaking.

"It's OK, so did I," Kiba confessed.

"What's going on? Who were those men? Why do they want Harry? And why did you fight them like that? Why didn't you just take out your wand?" Hermione asked.

Kiba sighed. It looked like their cover was blown, and it wasn't even a month into the school year.

"You have to promise not to say anything Hermione," he said seriously. "Not to Harry, Ron, Ginny, ANYONE. Do you promise?"

"So long as you aren't here to hurt Harry…" Hermione trailed off.

"I promise we're not here to hurt Harry," Kiba replied gently.

"Then tell me. I promise."

"We aren't wizards, we are ninja. We use magic in a different way than you guys do, but ask Kimi later because she knows the specifics and I really don't. Anyway, there's an organization of nine very powerful, very evil ninja called the Akatsuki. They made a deal with your Lord Voldemort. Basically they've both been having problems with their respective quests to destroy their worlds. Voldemort agreed to send some Death Eaters to Japan to help them take us out, if they did him a favor in return," Kiba said.

"Kill Harry," Hermione replied, her face white.

"Uhhuh. Well, we don't want that, so we're here to protect him," Kiba finished up.

"Oh. I see. Well…um…are you only friends with us to protect him?" Hermione asked hesitantly.

"We were ordered to blend in as best as we could, but I didn't need to," Kiba said quietly. "I just kinda fell for you." He realized what he said and turned bright red, looking away from her.

"Kiba?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah?"

"About that question earlier? About being more than just friends? Yes."

"Yes what?" Kiba looked at her, confused. Hermione blushed and looked down.

"Yes, I want to be more than just friends with you," she replied. Kiba let out a whoop and jumped in the air. Or, he tried to, but being injured caused him to instead fall on the ground groaning in pain. Hermione immediately leapt over next to him and started muttering and waving her wand. Some of his injuries started glowing a blue color before closing up.

"That's the best I can do, we need to get you to the hospital wing. But first, let me heal up Akamaru some, and have him grab some potions for me. One's a calming draught, it'll have a symbol that looks like a CD on it, and a Pepper Up, that'll have a PU on it," Hermione said.

"Thanks Hermione," Kiba replied. Hermione transfigured a leaf into a small bag, used some spells to heal Akamaru, and Kiba sent him on his way before grabbing Hermione and hugging her. Hermione started to shake, and finally everything that happened caught up with her, and she started to cry. Kiba held her until her tears subsided and her shaking stopped. It was dark out by this point, and Kiba held up his wand, whispering "Lumos."

The light that came out of it was horribly bright, and made Hermione cry out in pain as the light hit her eyes. Kiba winced and willed the amount of Chakra that was going into the wand to lessen, dimming the light enough so they could see clearly without being blinded. Just as Hermione was going to ask how he did that, Akamaru returned with the potions.

"Here, lets make a fire before we wake them up," Hermione said. "I think we might be here for a little while." Kiba agreed, and went off gathering sticks. Hermione waved her wand over the small pile Kiba grabbed and a blue bell flame shot out of it and sat burning merrily on the sticks.

"It doesn't need sustenance," Hermione explained to Kiba as he started to go get more sticks. He nodded, and Hermione walked over to Sasuke and Kimi, who were still laying motionless. She rolled Sasuke off Kimi before opening his mouth and tipping the calming draught down his throat.

"What does that do?" asked Kiba from next to the fire.

"It'll calm him down, so when he wakes up he won't freak out again," Hermione explained. "The other potion, the Pepper Up, will do the opposite, it will make Kimi alert. Has some interesting side effects though. Ennervate!" The last word was a reviving spell she shot at Sasuke, causing him to stir.


Blaise bounced over to Pansy, Daphne, and Hinata who were all having a conversation in the corner.

"Have you guys seen Sasuke or Kimi?" he asked.

"Last I saw they were heading out for Herbology. It was their turn to feed the plant," Daphne replied.

"Don't worry about it, I'm sure they're fine," added Pansy.

"You're right. They're probably off snogging somewhere. Well, Draco's off somewhere too. What are you lovely ladies up to?"

Hinata glanced over at the door, hoping to catch Shino's eye, but Shino wasn't in the room. She couldn't get away, so she sighed and hoped that nothing was the matter, as she knew they weren't snogging somewhere, before turning her attention to Pansy screeching at Blaise for some comment of his or another.


"So where's the know it all anyway?" Ron sneered as he looked around the room.

"Mate, can't you forgive her already? I don't know why you've been tearing into her so much," Harry replied, exasperated. He was waiting for Naruto to get back from the library and distract Ron so he could get to the one underground passage they were going to use for Hermione's party to finish getting every thing set up down there. However, Naruto had to finish an essay for Slughorn, and until he got back, Harry didn't have a way of getting away from Ron without hurting him.

"No, I can't! What's her problem, anyways? She's always off with that Kiba guy. Are British Wizards just not good enough for her? First Vikky, now this guy!"

"Ron, are you jealous?" asked Harry, amused.

"What would I have to be jealous over?" Ron sneered, but his eyes were wide, and his ears were turning red, just like they always did when he was under pressure.

"Oh, I don't know, the fact that Hermione's probably dating Kiba?"

"SHE'S WHAT?" Ron yelled.

"Calm down Ron. It's been inevitable. If you'd been paying attention instead of acting like an arse you would've realized," Harry replied. Ron didn't answer, instead he got up and went upstairs just as Naruto walked in the door.

"All done!" he said happily before seeing Ron. "Erm, did I miss something?"

"Just Ron finding out how close Kiba and Hermione are, it was bound to happen sometime," Harry replied. "Want to come help me decorate that room for Hermione?

"Sure!"


Sasuke stirred before waking up. The first thing he remembered was the fight with Itachi. Anger coursed through his veins as he remembered that Itachi had gotten him again with the hallucination, but he found himself surprisingly calm and clear headed. He paled a little when he realized how he treated Kimi, but shrugged it off as he looked at the sleeping girl.

"You feeling better Sasuke? Sorry I stunned you, I thought you'd hurt her," Hermione said calmly.

"Yeah. What did you do?"

"Used a calming draught. Now I'm going to use a Pepper Up Potion on Kimi here." Hermione turned to Kimi and nudged her until she woke up.

"Uuug…Hermione? Let me sleep," Kimi grumbled.

"Kimi, just take this for me. There you go," Hermione replied as Kimi started drinking the potion. She was immediately more alert, and smoke started spouting from her ears, making her hair fly up. Kiba burst out laughing, and even Sasuke couldn't help but quietly chuckle at the girl, with her long hair flying out away from her ears with the smoke.

"Shut up you two," Kimi grumbled.

"I already know about your mission, but Kimi, I have a question? Why can you use both magic and ninja moves?" asked Hermione. Sasuke and Kimi glared at Kiba, who put up his hands as if to ward them off.

"After what happened I didn't have a choice!" he said defensively.

"I want to know that too," Sasuke said, "and maybe you can tell me what you did to Itachi, why he doesn't like you, and how you got me this necklace for my birthday. Oh, and thanks for the present."

Kiba and Hermione looked at him strangely as everyone settled around Hermione's fire. Sasuke opened his shirt and showed them the necklace that he'd been wearing ever since he'd received it back on his birthday, when all of this began.

"Well, lets get comfortable, this might take a while," Kimi replied, conjuring blankets for people to sit on and putting cushioning charms on them so the ground would be more comfortable. The four teenagers huddled around Hermione's fire for light, and Hermione cast warming charms on the area to keep the chill from the night away from them. Hermione pulled a picnic basket out of her pocket, and waving her wand took the shrinking charm off. Luckily she wasn't sure what Kiba liked to eat when she wanted to surprise him with this food, so there was easily enough Chavetta style chicken, salad, and pumpkin juice to go around. The teenagers started to eat, and as they ate, Kimi told them her story.

"My story started here in England about seventeen years ago. Voldemort was powerful, families were being destroyed left and right. One of these families was my mother's. Her name was Rebecca Oswald. She was a muggle born witch, and as Voldemort is opposed to that type of thing, some death eaters ended up killing her family. Mom was devastated, she couldn't stand being in the country. She didn't care anymore, all she knew was that she wanted to get away from England. So she apaperated as far as she could, her destination that she gave herself was 'overseas'."

"But that's horrible!" Hermione gasped. "She could've wound up over an ocean, and she could've drowned!"

"She realized. She didn't care if she died," Kimi replied. "Well, she didn't end up over an ocean. Instead, she ended up on a beach in Japan, over in the Sound country. She was weak, after all, she'd appaperated thousands of miles away. She would've died if my father, a jounin from the Sound Village didn't find her. But he did, he took care of her, and the two of them ended up getting married and having a child.

"We lived happily enough until the Sound was influenced by a man named Ochimaru. He wanted to destroy the hidden village of the Leaf, Kohona, in the Fire Country. My father objected to this. Ochimaru was probably going to kill him, so he grabbed me when I was still a genin and we ran away to hide in the fire nation. Father, Mother, and I helped a lot, we stopped groups on ninja from the sound country from reinforcing their allies during the Chunin exam a while back. It was all we could do.

"In the mean time, my mother was teaching my father and I how to use magic. She got us wands from somewhere. As we weren't part of a village anymore, father didn't have to go on any missions, so he spent his time teaching me jutsu. He wasn't much of a combat fighter, he was interested in the human mind, and so am I. Psychology is an amazingly interesting subject, and it can be applied to so many different things."

Kimi paused to eat some of her food, and Hermione let out a small squeal.

"Oh, it IS so interesting! The intricacies, what parts of the mind control what things, why people think what they think, why people do what they do, instinct, it's so complex! I've tried learning some of it on my own over the summer, but you can only get so far without a teacher." Kimi looked at the bushy haired girl and smiled as she prattled on and on about Kimi's favorite subject while the purple haired girl had a chance to eat.

"But what good is psychology in combat?" Sasuke asked. Kimi swallowed and looked at him.

"The beauty of psychology is that it can be used to heal and to hurt. There's a bunch of mental disorders out there, wounds in the mind that can't be healed by normal means. Psychologists study not only how to heal them, but how they're inflicted. Also, if you know the way someone's mind works, you can know what they're planning, and have a easier time figuring out how to thwart it."

"Is that how you broke Itachi's hold on me?" asked Sasuke.

"Let me finish my story Sasuke-kun," replied Kimi. He nodded and she continued.

"My mother died when I was fourteen. When she did, she contacted a friend of hers from England, who traveled to Japan to see her before she died. She couldn't treat my mom, but she could teach me everything she knew about magic, including Occlumency, the art of clearing ones mind and being immune to it's opposite Legimency, which is a way that you could put a little bit of your mind into someone else's mind and ruffle through it. This knowledge helped me with genjutsu, or illusionary attacks. It helped me not only be very very adept at creating them, but also very adept at destroying them, and breaking them. One day, not so long ago, I went on a journey to test myself. I went to find every genjutsu there ever was so I could see if I could beat it, or break it. One day, I ran into Itachi."

"You've met him before?" asked Kiba.

"Yeah. Yeah I have," replied Kimi with a far away look on her face. "I challenged him to a fight, dared him to use his best genjutsu on me. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. Because of his unique ability to make time slow down in a person's mind, the battle seemed to take longer than it did. But I managed to use Legimency and break his illusion, and get into his mind. There I saw what he did to Sasuke's family, and I was so angry. So I broke the connection harshly and took the necklace from around his neck. I tried to get away, but Itachi recovered very quickly. He was enraged, no one had ever broken his attack before. In fact, I don't know if anyone who didn't have any type of Occlumency or Legilemancy training could have done what I did, though any wizard with said training should be able to do it. Needless to say, he didn't notice the necklace was gone. He was too busy doing his best to kill me, and have me suffer while I did it."

With that said, Kimi unclipped her robes and let them fall to the ground. She started unbuttoning her shirt, and couldn't help laughing when both Kiba and Sasuke turned red and looked away. Even Hermione looked scandalized.

"I'm not going to flash you. You can look, I promise."

The boys looked and their eyes widened. She was holding her shirt up over her chest, but she had shifted the top in a way so that her upper back was exposed to the light. From the back of her neck down there were criss crosses of white scars. Some were thick, some were thin, some bumpy, some smooth. Sasuke remembered the flash of white he'd seen on the day of the party, it was one of her scars. Once everyone had seen it, she pulled her top back up and buttoned it correctly.

"These scars are all down my body, except where I leave my skin visible. I almost died, but my father found me. He worked as hard as he could, but most of the scars wouldn't go away. After what I saw, I knew that I couldn't let him still be walking around, but it wasn't my place to kill him. Heck, I couldn't kill him. So I made my way to the Hidden Leaf Village he came from, to see if there was any word of the little brother. I dropped off the necklace to Sasuke, my information gathering told me that it was his birthday. Then I went to hide and sleep, when I saw a bunch of wizards appear in the clearing, to be met with by Itachi. He led them away, and I saw one of the village's jounin had seen the events, so I used a disillusionment charm and followed him back. I stayed where I was and I overheard the entire conversation between the Hokage and Dumbledore, and I over heard all of the plans. I already knew English from my mother, but I spied on the training, and made myself a uniform that matched with everyone else's. I followed them here, and when I got here I lagged behind, entering when I did so that the ninja couldn't kick me out without blowing their cover. I remembered what little my mother told us of Voldemort, and I knew that if Itachi was planning something it would be bad, so I decided to do my best to help stop it.

"And now, here we are," she said. A good amount of time had passed since her story began, the stars were out, and if it wasn't for the fire and the warming charms they would have been shivering in the cold.

"Is it hard to learn this Occlumency and Legilimency?" asked Sasuke.

"It's harder for some than others. You need to start with Occlumency. If you can do that right, most genjutsu won't work on you," replied Kimi. She yawned, and started blinking sleepily, trying to stay awake. The smoke had stopped pouring out of her ears, clearly the potion was wearing off.

"We should get back," Hermione said, noticing this. "I won't tell, I promise."

Sasuke nodded to her, and he and Kimi stood up. His mind was whirling with the new information. Hermione cleared up their site easily, and the four started walking back to the castle. About five steps into the walk, Kimi almost fell over she was so tired. The story and the fight had overtaxed her. Without a word, Sasuke picked the smaller girl up and started carrying her, and immediately she fell asleep.

When they got to the castle, Hermione tapped Sasuke on the head and Disillusioned him.

"Be careful, it's not foul proof, but it should help," Hermione warned.

"Thanks," Sasuke replied before walking down towards the dungeons. A shared glance between Hermione and Kiba later, and she Disillusioned them both. They walked back to Gryffindor Tower without incident, and shared a brief kiss before going to bed.

Sasuke, meanwhile, also got to the Slytherin dungeons without much of a problem. Once he got there, he saw that Hinata and Shino had waited up for them. Sasuke told them that he would tell them what happened in the morning, and gave Kimi greatfully to Hinata, who took her to bed.

Sasuke and Shino went to sleep without question, though Sasuke didn't drop off right away after changing into a pair of black silk pajama pants. Instead, he had dozens of questions in his mind, and they kept nagging him and keeping him awake. Finally, he got up, pressed his hand against the metal plate, and when he got back to bed was soon lulled to sleep by the sound of the crashing waves of the river.


Whew! That should answer most questions. Remember to vote on if you want to see a one shot of Hermione's party, the tryouts, and Kiba and Hermione's picnic. Lemme know in a review!
