I don't own KHR, HP, or Ranma 1/2!

Quick Note: Sorry this is a bit later than I'd like getting out today; I had to do my co-workers job, plus mine and put out a few fires today on her jobs. Also, I apologize in advance if I misspell anything or goof up majorly, I'm operating on 4 hours of sleep. Insomnia is annoying.

HolyKnight5: Yeah, not a big fan of the movies, but the books were semi-decent, if you overlook that Bella was a stalker and Edward was too... Yeah, lots of physiological issues in that series. But these vamps don't sparkle, I kinda made them blow up, like in the Buffy and Angel series.

thunder18: I'm trying really hard to get this out today!

D C JoKeR H S: Glad you're enjoying it, and Squalo isn't going to... well, you'll see.

Koolkat1573: You read my foreshadowing very well; nice deduction.

The Dog-Man

Squalo scowled as he engaged the vampire swordsman, but it was only once they clashed that he saw a figure on four legs leaping towards them. It looked like a cross between a dog and a severely disfigured man, "The fuck is that? A hellhound?"

"No, Greyback is a werewolf," the vampire swordsman snarled as he turned his attention from their fight to the werewolf. "There are no children here for you to turn, you deranged mutt!"

"OWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" the were wolf howled as it charged the vampire swordsman in an attempt to get to Squalo.

Of course, the werewolf wanted to go directly though the vampire, and the vampire wasn't thrilled about having his fight intruded upon by another predator.

Squalo saw that the two were evenly matched, and knew that if they teamed up, he'd be in for a world of hurt or a death sentence. So, he did what every Varia Quality Assassin was taught to do when outmatched, vanish before they could!

Squalo soundlessly ran towards where Firenze had said the village was, while emitting his Flames to get rid of his scent. If he could confuse the vampire and the werewolf, then he might actually have a chance to get back to his boss and strangle him and Mammon.

It didn't take long for Andromeda to finish assisting her clients, and soon they were back in the Alley, via portkey, "Now, would you kindly mind informing me of where I'm to escort you all from here?"

"You have our thanks, Barrister Tonks, but we are able to handle it from here," Fon replied in his most pleasant voice.

"Young man, if I took everyone at their word, then I'd be in trouble. Also, I'd like to meet this guardian that my letter mentioned," Andromeda was a tough cookie, and she played hardball better than most people.

"Very well, but you will have to be blindfolded and your wand taken from you. It and you will be unharmed, but your wand will be in your reach at all times," Daniela instructed.

"As long as this is for the young man's safety..." Andromeda replied with a raise of her left eyebrow.

"It is," Chrome assured their barrister. "Are you aware that your cousin was framed?"

Andromeda frowned at the young teenager, "There is no evidence of this."

"But there is," Chrome smiled as she picked up a newspaper from the ground and handed the picture to Andromeda. "What was left at the crime scene?"

"A single finger and the bodies of a dozen muggles," Andromeda growled in annoyance.

"Now, look at this picture, on the shoulder of the youngest boy. Can you count the toes?" Chrome began to instill doubt in the barrister.

"Why would I look at the toes of a boy?" Andromeda huffed.

"Not the boy, the rat," Chrome's eyes glowed a bit purplish. "Were you aware that that rat has been living with the Weasley's for twelve years. That's quite longer than a rat's lifespan..."

"He was an animagus," Andromeda paled a bit. "Young lady, do you know what I can do with this information?"

"Yes and no. Be careful with how you approach this, if the rat gets wind, it could destroy your defense," Chrome's eyes were errily glowing purple.

Fon merely chuckled, before he tapped her on the head, "Go back, Mukuro. We'll be there soon enough. So, will you aid us, Lady Barrister?"

"It appears that I have no choice. Even if I was kicked out of the family, I still have a duty to Siri," Andromeda frowned as she allowed them to blindfold her and lead her into a motor vehicle. It wasn't a long ride, while being blindfolded, but she counted the turns and timed their trip. She would be able to escape this, if it was needed.

Meanwhile, back at the hotel...

"Was Hedwig supposed to return empty handed?" Harry questioned his Godfather.

"That means that she's accepted the case. Nice job, Prongslet!" Sirius grinned.

"The question was if she got there on time," Tsuyoshi stated calmly.

"Oi! Romy is good people! She is a brilliant barrister!" Sirius defended his cousin, only to be surprised as said cousin walked into the room.

The barrister's jaw dropped in shock, before she stormed up to him and glared, "Sirius Orion Black! What do you have to say for yourself?!"

"Um, hiya Romy?" Sirius shrunk away from his favorite cousin.

"Come here you idiot!" Andromeda pulled him into a forced hug, "Now, tell me how you escaped from Azkaban."

"Um..." Sirius stared at his cousin worriedly, "Are you okay, Romy?"

"I am perfectly well, cousin. Now, get to the point, before I decide you owe poor Nymphadora twelve years of toys," Andromeda ordered.

"Okay... So, I'm a dog animagus and I had to get to Harry because I saw that damn rat..." Sirius growled at the picture of said rat in the paper.

"I see. So, all we need to do is catch Pettigrew and arrange a re-trial for my cousin," Andromeda stated assured in her own assessment.

"Uh, Romy, I never got a trial. They just hauled me off to jail and left me there to rot," Sirius shrugged. "Dumbledore didn't even stand up for me."

"That's because he was part of the plot to get Harry away from you. There were a lot of people that Ripear mentioned, luckily, he likes me," Nana's eyes sparkled with mischief. "So, who wants to catch a rat and destroy it's false reputation?"

"Mama, can I get first crack at the rat, after Uncle Sirius?" Mukuro sneered as he thought about that damn rat. He'd gotten into Harry's head and had seen how the boy was treated. No cousin of his would deal with that type of treatment.

"Actually, the law gets him before Sirius, but I don't think they'll care too much if he's a bit banged up before he gets to court..." Nana shrugged. "Nightmares would be better. Make him more susceptible to telling the truth..."

"Is that okay with you, Uncle Sirius?" Mukuro asked hopefully.

"Sure, kid. But how you gonna get him to have nightmares?" Sirius blinked in confusion.

"I will walk his dreamscape," Mukuro chuckled evilly. "Would you like to assist me, dear sister?"

"But of course, brother mine," Chrome smirked. "After all, we can't have Uncle Puppy in jail."

"Do it," Tsuna agreed with his Mists. "Just don't over-do it."

"You got it, Tsuna," Chrome and Mukuro smiled as they saluted him in unison.

"Does this happen often?" Andromeda blinked at the twins and Tsuna in confusion.

"Every good day," Nana smiled happily.

"So, what happens on a bad day?" Sirius asked curiously.

"They destroy everything in their paths," Nana smiled. "Nana Yamamoto."

"Andromeda Tonks, Barrister and that idiot's cousin."

"Romy, the Goblins said she's my younger half-sister, by dad," Sirius informed his cousin.

"Proof?" Andromeda demanded.

"Will this suffice?" Tsuyoshi handed her the document that the goblins had given them, "I'm Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, Nana's husband."

Andromeda looked over the document, thoroughly, "Everything appears to be in order. Are you a witch?"

"Squib," Nana replied. "However, since you're family, we can tell you that we have our own brand of family magic. You may even have a touch of it. Both of you..."

"Does that include me?" Harry asked curiously.

"You definitely have it, little cousin," Nana frowned as her eyes glowed amber and she felt something was off with her newest charge. "What is behind his scar?"

"Behind it?" Andromeda asked uncertainly.

"There's something that's... It's like a parasite..." Nana mumbled, before turning to look at Sirius, "We're going to see the Goblins tomorrow and see if they can check over you and Harry. I want that scar to have special attention. It just feels wrong."

Harry looked at the rest of the adults worriedly, "Will it kill me?"

"We'll get it looked at tomorrow, but I don't think you're in any danger, right now," Nana replied. "Shamal, you want to give Harry a regular check-up? Harry, Shamal is our personal physician and he won't tell anyone but Sirius, Tsuyoshi, and myself anything without your express permission."

"Okay..." Harry twitched a bit nervously, but at least he'd get his first check-up by a muggle doctor. After all, how bad could it be?
