Albus, James and Lily all appeared with a thud in a half lit alleyway in Tokyo as they had used a port-key to travel the distance between Britain and Japan. There was a furious yet nearly silent argument between the 3 of them as they decided on how to blend in with a muggles. Lily won in the end and she transfigured their clothes to something more appropriate. James had his dark blue robes into a pair of jeans and a button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows in the same color as his robes. For Albus she had gone with a more old fashioned 3 piece suit in a grey pinstripe but with a brightly colored red shirt to appease the headmasters love of bright colors. Finally for herself she was dressed in a pale green summer dress with delicately embroidered flowers in a darker green thread.

They quickly exited their small alleyway into the bright sunlight and as soon as the spots cleared they all stopped and stared. Everywhere they looked were towering building made a shining dark glass and there were so many people! Hundreds of people seemed to be walking at a fast pace all speaking into or staring at small objects with glowing screens.

"What are those squares that everyone has Lils?" James asked in a hushed whisper as they finally began moving following Albus who was using the point me spell to locate the Mikage Shrine. The Four-Point Spell (Point Me) is a spell that causes the caster's wand to behave as if it were a compass and point North.

Lily gritted her teeth and scowled deeply before finally admitting that she didn't know what they were.

"How can you not know?!" James hissed at her. "Aren't you from the muggle world?" He pointed out cruelly, a hint of mocking and scorn about her heritage in his tone.

Lily, stung by his words, snipped out " Well excuse me for not knowing every advance the muggles have made due to not being allowed i the muggle world for more than a decade!" All this was said with mounting tension in their little group as she and James continued to argue while Albus did his best not to intervene as it was not his place.

They followed the point me spell all throughout the city leaving the modern sleek buildings behind for more traditional Japanese style building and more and more greenery as they came closer and closer to what appeared to be a small forest in the north-west corner of the city.

"Why is the bloody shrine so far away from where the port-key dropped us?" James groused as he used yet another cooling charm to fight off the stifling heat of the wooded area. Next to him Lily was doing the exact same thing. Albus seemed to be the only on unaffected which earned him some resentful looks from his former students.

"We needed to make sure to be a good distance away just to be safe my dear boy. The Japanese mages and gods use very powerful protections on all of the shrines in their country. You do not want to attempt breaching them unless you wish to die a most painful death but enough of those depressing thoughts because I do believe we have arrived." This was stated as Albus came to a stop at the base of a long and steep flight of stairs.

"You've got to be BLOODY joking!" James groaned taking a leaf from his sons book with the language. "Why are there so many steps?!" was what followed his previous statement. There was a distinct whine in his tone.

"Not as fit as you used to be James dear?" Lily cooed in an overly sweet saccharine tone with a slightly smug tone to her voice as well. Lily always seemed to get pleasure from pointing out his faults. Her chief one being his lack of fitness due to him not pursuing quidditch as a professional career.

"Well you're one to talk." He gritted out through clenched teeth. "You've gotten a bit thicker since our Hogwarts days." As he said this he eyed her waist and hips which were both wider than they used to be from childbirth. Lily was by no means heavy but if she was going to point out his faults then he was going to poke at hers.

She gasped and looked a bit hurt for a moment before her temper took over and her face began to turn red. Just as she opened her mouth to start screaming at James Albus decided he should diffuse the situation before it got any worse.

"Now there is no need for that. I am aware that the climate is not ideal but we must argue with each other like this. Things said in anger are impossible to take back after all.: He stated with a firm look at the both of them. They both looked contritely at their shoes much like small children before mumbling half-hearted apologies to each other.

"Wonderful! Now that we have cleared our heads let us be off." Albus said cheerfully as he started up stairs at a a brisk pace. Lily and James both gave a long sigh before following after the elderly man. After all if he could climb these stairs then they definitely could!

They slowly climbed the stairs for what seemed like hours as Albus chattered on about the shrine and what type it was. Apparently it was a Shintai shrine that possessed a jeweled mirror said to house and earth god from local legend. It had been entrusted to the keeper of the shrine to protect and cherish. The shrine was very popular among the locals which is what prompted Albus to pause and cast the muggle repelling charm, Repello Muggletum, to keep them away. It worked in such a way by causing any muggle who came into contact with it to suddenly remember and urgent appointments or errands that they needed to do right away.

They finally reached the top after around a half an hours climb they finally reached the top of the stairs with all of them wheezing a bit from the exertion. They had reached a small clearing with a stone pathway leading to a simple wooden building with a wrap around porch and a short flight of stairs leading to sliding doors. They cautiously made their way forward with their wands aloft for any potential danger or protective charms. They reached to doors with no issue but Albus still stopped them and for several minutes was waving his wand in a complicated matter and muttering a long phrase in Latin. Finally he seemed satisfied and opened the doors, motioning for them to enter.

The inside of the shrine was much less opulent than they expected. It was one room with the exception of a closed off corner, a bathroom they supposed, a simple kitchenette with a low table and sitting pillows. A round bed was also in on of the corners. Lily and James exchanged glances and smirked. If their estranged child lived in this kind of poverty then it would be easy to trick him back to England with them.

Albus also seemed displeased with the accommodations as he had a slight frown marring his face. He raised his wand one more and with a casual flick of the wrist transfigured the low table and floor pillows into a small round ornate table and the floor pillows into a matching armchair and love seat. Another flick of his wrist had a full English tea preparing itself before gently settling down on the table. With a satisfied smile he settled himself into the armchair while motioning for them to take the love seat. He sat back with a satisfied smile while serving tea in preparation for the upcoming wait.

"Albus..." Lily began quietly after a few minutes of silence. "What if he doesn't want to come with us? You said it yourself that submissive wizards are incredibly powerful. We may not be able to force him." She said in a worried tone as she expressed the thought that had been niggling in the back of her head for quite a while.

"Not to worry my dear Lily even if young Harry does not agree to come willingly I will be able to bind his magic enough that he will not be able to resist coming back to England and sacrifice himself for The Greater Good." Albus explained the obscure binding spell he had unearthed from his book collection. It came from an ancient Japanese scroll. When performed properly it created 'chains' out of the caster sown magic to bind and restrict the magic of the target. The only catch was that the caster needed to be magically stronger than the target. The three of them were not worried about that however as Albus was the strongest wizard that the magical world had seen for quite some time. He was the defeater of Grindlewald! It was simply not possible for a fourteen year old boy to be stronger than him.

*Scene Change*

Hadrian and Tomoe had finished their dinner in record time and had simply used a transportation spell to return to the shrine borders hidden by trees. They watched in silence as the old wizard waved his wand before determining it safe to enter which brought a smirk to Tomoes face. Intruders were never safe. Harry made to enter the shrine proper but Tomoe held him back with a finger help against his lips.

Harry nodded and they both crept silently towards the shrine. They heard the low murmur of voices inside. Harry looked at Tomoe to make sure he could hear, receiving a nod from him, before willing his hearing to enhance before they both seated themselves in front of the doors to listen to the conversations going on inside.

Tomoe looked absolutely furious when the old wizard explained the binding spell. Angry enough for his claws and fangs to lengthen even more and his eyes to turn blood red. Apparently angry enough to transform. Sensing the change in his familiar Harry quickly turned to him and pressed their lips together. Pushing all the calming feelings he could through their bond to stop him from transforming and ripping the mortals inside to shreds for their impudence and disrespect.

Soon after Tomoe did calm down enough to retract the extra length from his claws and fangs as well as reign in his youkai. Despite that they still sat in silence for several minutes with Tomoes arms wrapped tightly around Harry so they could truly calm down and not destroy the humans who were arrogant enough to take up residence in their home.

Harry slowly unwound Tomoes arms from his waist and stood up dusting off his dress before turning to Tomoe expectantly. He understood completely and moved to her other side and nodded with a smile before sliding open the door to omit him to the shrine. Harry stepped through with a calm face and a regal air about him. Tomoe followed silently, his face completely void of emotion, and slid the door shut behind him fully aware of the three sets of eyes fixed upon them.

Albus seemed to be the first one to come of of the slight stupor the three of them had gone into. Immediately he was standing up with his patented grandfatherly smile on his face and his eyes twinkling merrily.

"Harry my boy! I'm so pleased we finally found you." He exclaimed merrily with Lily and James coming up next to him and nodding fervently with fixed smiles upon their faces.

"Really? And who are you exactly?" Harry asked frostily. "Why have you entered my home and even changed my possessions from their original state?" Harry was being petty at this point he knew but he couldn't bring himself to care as they had first abandoned him as a child and now had plans to try and bind him to them.

Well if they though that then they were in for one hell of a ride. He may not act like it very often preferring to simply let bygones be bygones. It took too much effort to be upset over things that happened over a decade ago. This, however, was a different matter entirely. He was Hadrian Potter, a god first and foremost, he would not stand for this and they would learn this very soon.
