I don't own KHR, HP, Sherlock, or Ranma 1/2!
Quick Note: I had a busy but eventful break, but there won't be a chapter tomorrow. No internet connection where I'll be and I will probably be dealing with Sherlock (my dog) being very unhappy, which I will be getting the brunt of. Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas, if you celebrate it and if you don't that you enjoyed your Holiday. I also hope you have a Happy New Year, well, those of you on this side of the pond, where it's still the 31st. Also, not a lot of time left to type, sorry it's short. Cheers!
Shinigami: Exactly! Not sure how Amelia will pay her debt to Healer Tyler, but I'm beginning to get an inkling. Yes, Hannah is an orphan. I'm not sure if she was in the original or not, but I think it would have been a great point to help contribute to having Susan as her understanding bestie. House Abbott isn't quite as influential as other houses, like the Greengrass family, but it has it's own charm. I suppose we'll see if Draco has a contract waiting him in the wings, or not eventually. I think it's a good thing that Daniella gets a second chance at love, one that isn't after her title of the head of the Vongola, and not one of the potential suitors that Nono would approve of.
Guest: Not heard of that one; had to look it up. I don't think a paradox applies here, as Nana is changing the way things should go, and hoping it's for the best. However, the headache that this little mess she's dived into...
FANactic Writer: Yes, she will be much better than Luce, because she sees... Well, I won't spill that yet. Now you see the reason I was waiting to bring Luna in. I want her to be a part of this, because Luna seems to fit as a seer or oracle. After all, oracles have a bit of interpretation or misinterpretation, depending on who they were.
D C JoKeR H S: Glad you're still enjoying it! Ah, but Nono doesn't know about his Mama having a potential suitor, just yet. Tyler may end up there, but I'm still on the fence. It would be kind of funny to... Oopsie, almost gave everyone reading this a possible spoiler. Okay, on with the fic!
Gathering the Team: Part 3
Nana pondered what else she should focus on. The house that Healer Tyler was trying to help her rebuild kept slipping and changing back into a mass of colors and threads... Threads that made her curious as to where they would lead.
"Mrs. Yamamoto! FOCUS! If you do not, we'll be trapped in here for eternity!" Healer Tyler growled in annoyance, "Why can't you... URGH!" Tyler was highly frustrated, as they'd been at this for what felt like hours. She'd not had enough sleep and her patience was nearly gone, "Heaven above! Your family is the most troubling thing I've come across in a very long time."
"I am sorry, Healer Tyler. I am unsure, but I feel as though you should leave and take a rest. You clearly are running on fumes. If you stay much longer, I do fear for your safety in my mind," Nana tried to comfort the Healer, but when she saw the face of said Healer, it was with tired resignation.
"Fine. You're the seer after all, so I do believe that you are seeing more than I do. Will it help you if I leave?" Healer Tyler sighed.
"It might. You could consult Sherlock Holmes on Mind Palaces while waiting for Little Luna. She should be here shortly and for some reason, I'm sure she can help," Nana smiled slightly dreamily.
"Very well. Do your best to re-create your mind palace as it was," Healer Tyler sighed as she slowly withdrew from Nana's mind and popped back into her own head.
"How is she?" Tsuyoshi was white knuckled.
"Her mind is shattered. She's working on building what she calls a *mind palace* but asked me to discuss it further with a Mr. Sherlock Holmes?" Healer Tyler shrugged tiredly. "She also told me to rest before I lost myself in her mind."
"I'll see if I can get a hold of Sherlock. I do believe that they were on their way to pick up Ms. Granger and her family," Tsuyoshi nodded hopefully. "All isn't lost, is it?"
"If she can get anything she creates in her mind's image to stick around, she should be safe," Healer Tyler pinched the bridge of her nose as her eyes closed tiredly and and she almost passed out right on top of Nana, if not for Tsuyoshi's quick actions of sweeping her up and carrying her into the adjacent room and laying her on the bed.
"Is the healer all right?" Takashi blinked in confusion.
"She's just tired, Taka-kun," Tsuna reassured him. "Mama will be fine."
Meanwhile, at the airport...
"Hermione, I can't believe that you forgot to take your air-sickness medication," a prim woman that could only be Mrs. Granger sighed in exasperation.
"I would have rather a sleeping pill, mum," Hermione moaned nauseously.
"Ah! You must be the Grangers. We've been awaiting your arrival, this way please," a man in a suit indicated that they follow him.
"Who are you and why were you waiting for us?" Mr. Granger asked suspiciously.
"My name is Mycroft Holmes. I am a minor part of the British Government. Nothing is terribly wrong, but your daughter's presence has been requested," Mycroft explained quickly. "Oh, and I believe Miss Granger is familiar with our mutual young friend, Ronald Weasley. Ronald?"
"Sorry sir, coming!" Ron quickly caught up to Mycroft, "I lost Sherlock in the crowd, sir."
"Understandable. He'll meet us back at the vehicle. Grangers, do you have all of your belongings accounted for? Good. This way, please," Mycroft directed them out of the terminal and towards a medium black limo.
"Ron, what are you doing here?!" Hermione gaped at her red-headed friend.
"Harry sent us," Ron shrugged.
"Harry? Has something happened to him?!" Hermione gasped in horror.
"He's fine, but there's been some recent additions to his family tree," Mycroft informed her. "Now, hurry up. Spit spot."
