A man with red eyes spoke to the shadows. "I want you to kill Harry Potter and Dumbledore."
A hand moved to a sword hilt, a hoarse, deep voice echoing around the room. "Yes, master. And any others?"
"Kill them as well."
The shadows moved, revealing a man with silver hair and dog ears. He bowed, and then melted back into the shadows.
"Good luck… Inuyasha."
Sand Village ((I forgot the name, please remind me))>
Temari walked around the street corner and nearly bumped into two figures. "Oh. Sorry. Kagome, Gaara, you're wanted at the HQ."
The girl nodded. Gaara just grunted. Temari stepped away from them nervously. Kagome and Gaara were the only real masters of the sand. And they were at their most deadly around sand. It made sense, though. Masters of the sand would be their most deadly around sand. 'Makes sense that they're irritable. They just got back from the Chunin ninja selection.'
Kagome wore an identical outfit to Gaara's ((during the prelims of the third part of the Chunin exams)); except the gourd-thing on her back was black and her clothes were green. Out of her scarf popped the head of a small blue-furred fox. Her sand-symbol headband was wound around the middle of the gourd.Kagome muttered, "Let's go, Gaara."
Gaara stalked off, following Kagome.
Konoha Village>
"What do you mean, I have a sister?" Sasuke Uchiha was surprised.
Tsunadenodded. "Yes, you do. She's a sand ninja, and was on Gaara's team. She uses the same style as he does."
It took Sasuke several moments to take in this information. "So, that was her. Kagome, right?"
"Just Kagome. She claims that she doesn't have a last name."
"But surely, you didn't call me here just to tell me about her."
"No. I didn't. I have a special mission for you and Kagome and Gaara. To the far east of here, is a school. It teaches witches and wizards. The head master of the school, Professor Dumbledore, asked me if I would provide a few ninja for protecting the school and one of his students."Tsunade leaned forward over her desk. "If you go, you'll have to stay the whole year."
"…When will I leave?"
"The sand ninja will arrive within the next few hours. It should give you enough time to pack. You might want to bring more than a few extra weapons. You won't be able to return here for quite a while."
Several hours later>
Sasuke returned to Tsunade'soffice carrying a duffel bag filled with his stuff. He entered the house and walked up to the office. Sasuke opened the doors, and walked into the room. The first person he saw was Gaara. He stood in front of Kagome, and glared at Sasuke.
Kagome also turned and glared at Sasuke. "Nice to see you, Uchiha."
"Settle down."
Kagome's black hair flicked around as she faced the blonde-haired woman. "We only listen to you because we were ordered to by the Kazekage. If we could have, we would have left a long time ago."
"Well, we might as well not waste anymore time here. I'll send you."
Gaara spoke, his eyes not leaving Sasuke's face, "You just need to send your ninja. Kagome and I can move ourselves through the sand. We just need the location."
"O-okay. The school is in England. It's called Hogwarts. You're supposed to protect a boy named Harry Potter."
A second later, two sand devils swirled around Kagome and Gaara, and they disappeared in the sand.
Tsunade sent Sasuke immediately after.
Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, September 1st, 4:00 PM>
Professor Dumbledore opened his arms and (tried to) greeted the three young ninja warmly, "Hello, you must be the young ninja from the west. Welcome to Hogwarts."
All three scowled. The blue fox perched on Kagome's shoulder growled. "Listen here, otuo-san, none of us want to be here. Neither Gaara or I," Kagome gestured to Gaara, "want to be friends with your students. On a good day, you'll be lucky if one of us doesn't kill someone just out of sheer annoyance. But, unfortunately, Gaara and I were the only ones skilled enough to take on the job, and really, the Uchiha is only here as an ambassador from Konoha."
Dumbledore's surprise disappeared within a second, "Oh, well, then. But I would still prefer it if you would attend the welcoming feast in two hours."
Sasuke muttered, "Stealth would be best."
"Yes, but I am afraid, that, without an introduction, several of my students would think that you were Death Eaters. You do know about them, right?"
The blue fox jumped and landed on the ground, and then snarled viciously at Dumbledore, waving his three tails.
"Yuki, that's enough. We do know about them. Yuki was orphaned when Death Eaters used his parents for target practice. His parents were eight-tailed youkos with power over snow and ice."
Yuki hissed faintly at Dumbledore once more, then climbed up Kagome's leg and clung to her pants. I don't like him, Kagome. He smells of…blood. Not directly, but as though he touched someone who had killed recently.
"Hush, Yuki. Where are our rooms, otuo?"
"Ah. I was planning on putting you with the students. But I can prepare separate rooms for you."
Gaara finally decided to speak, "I wish to share a room with Kagome."
An hour and a half later, Kagome and Gaara's room>
"We should go, Gaara."
Gaara sat up from lying on his bed.
Kagome stood by the door, Yuki at her feet, and waited as Gaara pulled his gourd on over his shoulders. They left the room, closing and then sealing the door with sand from their gourds, so only they could enter the room.
Yuki jumped up onto the gourd on Kagome's back as they walked. I smell a kitsune. He's silver with three tails, but he has the power of five.
"Where is he at, Yuki?" Gaara looked at her curiously, even though he knew that Yuki could speak to her.
In the Great Hall, with a fire demon and a battle demon, both males.
"On guard, Gaara. There are three demons in the Great Hall." Kagome and Gaara uncorked the gourds as a precaution. The sand wrapped around them like another scarf.
The Great Hall doors were open. Sasuke entered just in front of Kagome and Gaara.
Poor fool, he didn't even notice us.
Gaara had heard Yuki. Poor fool, indeed
Well, boys, let's go.
Yuki bristled as they entered the Hall. That's them. The kitsune is the tallest, the battle demon is the one with the long hair and blue marks.
The silver kitsune sniffed the air and looked at them. They smelled like a strange mixture of sand and blood. The girl had a snow kitsune perched on her shoulder.
Kurama muttered to Yusuke and Hiei "Three ninja. Two carry the power of the sand. Watch them, they're stronger then the other. There's a snow kitsune with them, too."
Dumbledore turned and greeted Kagome and Gaara and Sasuke. "Oh, these three will be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers."
Yuki landed on the floor and hid behind Kagome's legs. A second later, in a puff of blue smoke, a boy looking to be about thirteen was hugging Kagome's legs. He wore dark blue Capri's, his tail swaying gently. He wore black fingerless gloves, and an unbuttoned button-up shirt the same light blue color as his tail and his fox ears. His blue hair hung down to his shoeless feet.
Kagome fingered the tips of Yuki's ears. What's wrong?
"I want to meet the kitsune. He reminds me of Papa."
Kurama tipped his ears forward, curious, but unable to hear the words.
Kagome patted Yuki's head. "Go on, then."
Yuki detached himself from Kagome's legs and shuffled over to stand in front of Kurama. He looked up and smiled. Kurama knelt down. "What's your name, little one?"
"Yuki, sir. What's your name?"
"My name is Youko Kurama."
"Youko Kurama?" Yuki threw himself forward, nearly knocking Kurama down. "You're my uncle! My momma was part silver kitsune! She said that she had a brother named Youko Kurama."
Yuki snarled as a blue-tattoedhand approached his face. The hand stopped. Yuki quickly wriggled out of Kurama's grasp and scampered over to Gaara, this time.
Kagome simmered with unseen and unheard anger at the man who had tried to touch Yuki. The sand wrapping around her body formed a whip. She caught the handle as it uncoiled as it fell through the air.
Gaara's sand also activated, wrapping Kagome up so she couldn't move. "Calm yourself, Kagome. You are not going to do that now. Students are coming."
Her whip dissolved, and Gaara let her go.
Dumbledore glanced quickly around. Oh, yes, this was going to be an interesting year. "Yes, well, why don't we all have a seat, and introductions can be made later. The feast is about to start."
Sasuke hadn't said a word the whole time. But his hand had gone to his shurikan holster.

Lady Inari: This is just chapter one, but I don't know when the next will be up. Probably as soon as Luney pushes me to do it. Please fill in the blanks, my oh-so-lovely (sarcasm, people, sarcasm) beta.
Anime-Luney: Please, ignore Lady Inari. I think she might have had too many cookies when she thought up this story. Don't worry, if you're confused by what's going on, I think it will be explained later….Hopefully.
Lady Inari: Hopefully
