Protecting The Chosen One

Chapter Nine

By: Snow Phoenix-Dragon

For the fight there were very few close calls here and there, but other than that things were going good for those fighting against the proposed Dark Lord.

~ Naruto ~

I was fighting against this really big dude and just barely dodged out of the way of a curse he sent my way. Seeing as he was using all the curses that were supposed to be 'illegal' I decided to get my game up a notch. I borrowed some chakra from the Kyuba. I could tell that my eyes changed and that I know had fangs and my whiskers grew. I chuckled at the surprised look on the teme's face. Too bad he won't be giving any more of them.

I ran full speed towards him and ran straight into a stunning spell he sent my way. He was shocked that I didn't get stunned like I was supposed to. Smirking I brought upo my clawed right hand and brought it down on the man slicing him a bit. He stumbled back a bit and raised his wands, readying to cast another spell.

I took out my kunais and shuriken and threw it at him, all of them hitting him in all the vital areas, one of my shuriken got him in the heart. I grinned in triumph and went to deal with the next wizard coming my way.

~ Kiba ~

Akamaru and I did our jutsu where he and I looked a like. I was laughing as the guy we were fighting against was looking really confused.

"Wasn't that thing a a dog before?" he shouted.

My laughing ceased and I immediately had a frown grace my features.

No one called Akamaru, my best animal friend, a thing.

"Heh, for a follower of the 'Dark Lord' you sure are pathetic." I said. I knew I was getting a bit cocky, but I just wanted to provoke the guy a bit.

The man glared at me and shot a spell towards Akamaru, who dodged it like a true ninja. Getting bored with him Akamaru did our Fang Over Fang Jutsu. The man and a few other enemies were killed almost instantly.

"I forgot they aren't like us ninjas. Pathetic." I heard a poof and turned to see my overgrown dog grinning at me. He barked and I laughed.

"You're right, we are awesome."

~ Sai ~

I kept glancing at Ugly and saw that see seemed to be toying with her opponents and just mearly nodded my head. I was standing still waiting for the man to make a move.

When he didn't do a thing I sighed. These wizards were no fun, sparring against the Hokage would have been more action filled. I took out my drawing scroll and unrolled it, I took out my paintbrush and with quick fluid movements I created at least twenty animals. They were a mixture of a hawk, owl, rats, snakes, and different wild cats.

With a flick of my wrist they went charging at the eight or so enemies in front of me.

~ Sasuke ~

Instead of dodging the moves and waiting for my opponent to make the first move like the others were doing I did my Fireball Jutsu and the guy in front of my didn't dodge in time.

"The fangirls back home would have given me more of a fight." I muttered.

I looked over to see Sakura toying with her opponent and smirked. Usually people played with their food, no play with their opponent.

I then looked over at the dobe and noticed that he at least finished ten of the enemies and was grinning as he fought.

"There just taking this as a game."

"Hey kid, think you're so tough."

I turned to see one of the men wearing hooded cloaks, I think they were called Death Eaters, in front of me.

I smirked and raised my sword and charged it up with my chidori.

"Hn."

~ Shino ~

I let my bugs do all the damage and I finish them off personally. I think that wizards were much more weaker than the civillians back home. At least they knew how to dodge an attack.

I looked over at my team mates and saw that they were doing quite well. I smirked when I saw that Sakura-san was laughing as she danced around the five men around her.

I looked back at my opponent and saw him on the ground. Seein him in pain I decided to help him out a bit. With my kunai I struck his heart and fell limp, dead to the world.

~ Hinata ~

These people were easy to defeat compared to my younger sister. She could probably defeat them with one move!

At least I was on the winning end. I noticed Sakura-chan just messing with her opponents. I don't think that she even killed one yet. Then I looked around her area and saw at least ten bodies, dead, around her area. I knew she was the one to kill them because they all had her mark. The fangs around a bleeding silver cherry blossom.

Turning back to my opponent I dodge the killing curse that was aimed at me. I struck the man in his chest and wordlessly watched him fall to the ground with his eyes rolled back.

Wow, the ninja life sure does change a person.

Then I looked back to see that Sakura-chan had finished with her group and was walking over to me.

~ Normal ~

Once Sakura got over to Hinata she grinned.

"That was fun." the pinkette said.

"For you Sakura-chan. Considering you were messing with them." the midnight blue haired girl answered back.

"That's why it was so much fun. Oooh! Harry and Voldemort-teme are fighting. Let's go." the pinkette dragged her friend over to the middle of the destroyed Great Hall.

Everyone seemed to have gotten done with their match. The only fight left was Voldemort's and Harry's.

"So Potter. Which one of these people will be your next shield?" the snake wizard asked.

"No one. It's just you and me Voldemort."

"Go Harry! Beat Moldy-Voldy!" Sakura cheered along with Naruto and Kiba.

"Silence!" voldemort's voice boomed.

"Never!" Sakura announced.

Voldemort lifted his wand up and went to send a killing curse to the pinkette, but immediately changed it to a shielding spell since Harry shot a curse of his own to the snake man.

"So you are willing to die, Potter?" Voldemort smirked. "Then die you shall!"

Harry wasn't quick enough to dodge or protect himself from the killing curse as it shot towards him. Seeing this Sakura's face hardened.

~ Sakura ~

I saw that the boy wouldn't be able to move. He was stuck to the part of the floor he was standing on. Maybe that was why he didn't move around much. I looked over to see an unconscious Hermione with Ron holding her in his arms. I smiled, they make a cute couple. So did Harry and Ginny, and I wasn't gonna let anyone die tonight, except for Voldemort...and myself.

I ran in front of Harry ignoring the shouts of my friends and the boy himself. I freed him of his prison and pushed him out the way just as the green curse hit me. I flew back and I fell into darkness.

I remember the words the little five year old girl spoke to me that night as she was turning into ash. I remember it so clearly.

"In the future, when you fight against the Dark Lord himself, you will sacrifice yourself for the Potter boy. But think this through before you go and do it. You will be leaving loved ones behind and you will forever walk around as a ghost."

"Will I be able to communicate them as a ghost?"

"Yes, just like the ones at Hogwarts. But you will watch them get injured and you will not be able to do anything. That is what happened to those who have received the same fate as you have tonight."

"Are you trying to say that I will be a different type of ghost?"

"Yes. I don't know how, but you will. You are unlike any other I have met. And I'm only a little girl. Farewell Haruno Sakura of the Haruno clan. Good luck and I will hope to see you and the others emerge victorious." the young girl, now ashes, flew away into the wind.

"So this is my fate. I guess Neji was right about this whole fate and destiny ordeal. Too bad he couldn't see mine."

~ Normal ~

Harry couldn't believe his eyes. The pinkette, who came to know as one of his favorite teachers in his first year, his friend, dead. Just like all the others who had protected him before. Dead.

He hated that word, no, he despised it. But not as much as he despised the cackling man before him. Before Harry could do anything Voldemort shot the killing curse at him, this time it hit.

~ Harry ~

I'm walking in a foreign place. I see a man and a woman. The woman had red hair and green eyes. The man had black hair and brown eyes. (Don't know James Potter's eye color, sorry).

"Harry." the woman said.

"Hello Harry." the man smiled.

"Mom? Dad?" I choked out.

The man and woman smiled.

Harry ran into their arms and the three of them were in a group hug.

"Am I dead?"

"No Harry." James said.

"You are in a part of your mind. You have heard of a Horcrux from your pink haired friend?" Lily asked.

"Yes."

"Well, on that night, when Voldemort disappeared from trying to kill you he had the seventh part of his soul placed into you."

"I know. Sakura told me."

"Is that the girl with pink hair?" James asked.

"Yes, but it isn't is, it is was. Voldemort killed her."

"Oh, I'm sorry dear."

A chime was heard and Lily and James looked sadly at their son.

"Harry. When Voldemort hit you with the killing curse this time he killed of the Horcrux part of you. You are still alive, just in your mind." James said.

"And now you must return before he hurts your friends. We must go Harry. But remember, your father and I are proud of you. We love you. Take care."

Then the light came to Harry as his eyes fluttered open.

~ Normal ~

Looking around Harry saw Voldemort raise his wand to Hermione and the Weaslys. Without a moments hesitation he grabbed his wand and pointed it at the snake man's back.

"Avada Kadevra!"

A green light came out the tip of his wand and hit Voldemort in the back, instantly killing him.

Smiling at the shocked looks on the others faces he succumbed into the darkness once more, this time for rest.
