SIRUIS BLACK AND THE EIGHTH SWORD OF THE MIST
By A Writer Wannabee
His death changed everything.
The wizarding world cleared his name.
Harry vowed revenge against Snape.
But those were not the biggest change of all.
Join Sirius Black as he tries to learn the power the Dark Lord knows not.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
CHAPTER FIVE: POOF
Sirius stretched his arms. Finally, after being surrounded by walls, he was able, to experience sunshine once more.
'Ah, nothing beats fresh air in the morning,' he thought as he inhaled deeply.
#Snape-san.#
He winced at the name.
'What a great way to ruin my day.'
Until now he didn't know what possessed to use that name. He could have used Harry's, Moody's or even Dumbledore's. But no he has to choose the slimy git's name. At least when he does something wrong it would be accredited to his name.
He knew that can't give his real name. They might alert the ministry but he doubts that. No one seems to know that wizards exist.
'But they sure know how to use magic.'
Since he was free to roam the village, he took the opportunity to study their culture. He was skeptical when the leader said that he was in a community of ninjas. In his opinion, they were just very eccentric Muggles. But when his "bodyguard" came in a "POOF", he was convinced. After the tour, he concluded that ninja could be considered as wizards. They use hand signs instead of the usual stick and hand swishing.
'Wandless magic is sure handy when facing Deatheaters.'
There another reason to hide his name. And besides if the wizarding community has communication with the Muggle government, it's safe to assume that ninjas have one.
Then his "bodyguard" cleared his throat.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
The man spaced out again. He was always like this. Actually the man reminded Sasuke someone from his past, a certain someone with same eye color but with a lighter shade of hair.
Yes, Severus Snape was very Narutish. He himself had a first-hand experience to prove that.
'This is not good. Why does this man brings backs those memories? Have to concentrate. This mission serves also training for my ambition.'
He cleared his throat.
#What does Chicken-rime want?#
He glared at the man. Snape was certainly getting on his nerves. Especially now he had a gist of how the English language works. It was better during the first week. All he sounds that coming from the older man's mouth could be considered as noise. But during the second week, each noise began to form a meaning in his mind.
#You start move now me want to come back early.#
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
Sirius almost laughed at what the boy said. Speaking and understanding a language is entirely two different things. In reality he was impressed that the boy can use certain words in a month's time. Usually he wouldn't miss the opportunity to tease the boy but today is important. He never thought that he will be allowed to go out of the village. He can tell that the snake-like guy doesn't trust him at all. It doesn't bother him though because the feeling was mutual. He still felt like a prisoner like his stay at Grimmauld Place. He could feel that everyone was watching and observing him. He even had a "bodyguard" to "protect" him, like he was born yesterday. He bet that the boy report to Oro – whatever his name was, everyday. But at least his not locked up in a creepy old house.
#Fine,# he snorted.
No matter what happens, his plan must push through.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
#Ah that was good!#
Sasuke was beginning to get suspicious. Could it be? Impossible, no one can hold a henge that long. Your charka reserves will be depleted. But as far as he can remember the guy has the biggest charka reserves he had known.
#What was that again?#
#Ramen,# he replied.
#Ah, it was an excellent cuisine. Never tried pasta like that before.#
This man is so much like Naruto. Severus had just eaten three bowls of ramen. Normally Naruto will stop at ten but it's still a big similarity. Not to mention his charge was good at pranks too. Snape tricked several elite ninjas of the village when they insulted him. Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
'If he is then I must dispose of him.'
But Naruto knows that the Sharingan can see through a genjutsu. Come to think of it, he never used those eyes on the man. But the language? Naruto must have picked it up somewhere. But Snape was smart because he never let his guard down despite his attitude which made this mission harder. And Naruto might be the densest in Rookie Nine but he is definitely improving. It had been almost three years.
There was only one way to find out.
'The Sharingan,'
But using it will be directly disobeying his order. Orochimaru strictly told him not let the towns people knew that he came from the Hidden Village of Sound. The town was a great place to gather information especially for a ninja like him. One slip might alert the Leaf Village. That the very reason he's not wearing his forehead protector.
But since when did he follow orders?
Before using the Copy Wheel Eye, Sasuke looked at the man then he realized that Severus Snape was gone.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
#I'm free at last.#
Sirius finally ditched his "bodyguard." True the boy was alert for his age but a Marauder will always be a Marauder.
'Looks I haven't lost my touch.'
He began looking for a deserted area. As soon as he's alone, he'll be apparating to England in no time.
'I can't wait to see Ha-'
#OUCH.#
Sirius collided with a girl around Chicken-rime's age.
#Are you alright?#
The girl looked at him as if he grown another head.
#I forgot lingual problems. Chicken-rime would be very useful now,# he muttered.
He offered his hand and helped the girl. When she was already standing, he bowed to show his apology. It was something he picked during his stay at Sound. The girl seemed to understand. She bowed at him too and left immediately.
'Now where was I? Oh yeah. England here I –'
#Where you go?#
#Oh…., Uchiha-sama where have you been I've been looking all over for you. How dare you leave me alone in this town? I might get lost.#
#You never call me Uchiha-sama before. What happen to Chicken-rime?#
#This town is great. I'm having a great time. How about some food?#
Sirius began walking to the nearest food stand. The vendor was waiting for his order. Unfortunately he can't speak Japanese and he didn't have any idea what was the merchandise.
"Two orders of dango," his bodyguard said.
That was not a good sign. The boy's voice made his hair stand. Not to mention he really looked pissed. Too pissed those eyes were actually…
#Hey, what happened to your eyes? Aren't they're supposed to be black?#
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
That question awakened Sasuke. He was staring everything in slow motion. He could even see Snape searching something his clothing.
Wait. He was still staring at Snape. Which means…?
#Where is it?# Severus muttered.
The vendor was asking his charge payment for the dango. It looks like Snape forgot about the eye color thing. Good. He doesn't like explaining.
Sasuke immediately turned off the Sharingan. What a waste of charka.
#Bloody hell, the wallet is stolen.#
#What wallet?#
#Your wallet.#
#What!#
#Ah yes your wallet. You see, you're good leader didn't give me any money so decided to borrows yours. How am I supposed to enjoy without funds? I nicked it when you were not looking. I thought you wouldn't notice. You got plenty of money. I was planning to return it today. Never thought it will be stolen from me.#
This was not happening. Is this how weak he has become? He went to Orochimaru for power yet this man, an untrained civilian, in front of him not only escaped him but also has stolen his money. He wouldn't even notice of the guy hadn't slipped. Then he remembered all the food he ate earlier that day.
#You.#
#Don't worry. We'll look for it. I know the girl I bumped into earlier.#
#Girl?#
#Yes, she was about your age. She will be easy to find she has this long orange hair. People around here have weird hair color first blue now orange. Is that even no-#
#Where she go?-
#She went that way. I suggest we split up. We have a greater chance in finding her separate- #
#No, you come with me.#
Then Sasuke grabbed Snape's left hand and ran to the direction where the older man pointed earlier.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
Now, he was dragged like some luggage.
#Would you slow down, my arm is getting hurt.#
No answer, instead Chicken-rime increased his speed. They only halted after entering an alley.
Sirius's arm was numb when the boy finally released the grip.
#You broke my arm,# he complained.
#Is that the girl?#
Sirius glared at Chicken-rime before looking at the direction the lad was pointing.
#Merlin's beard!#
Right in front of them was the very same girl he had bumped earlier. She was counting the money from the wallet.
'No wonder the boy found me.'
Suddenly Sirius found himself tied to a post.
#What is the bloody meaning of this?#
#Prevent you escape.#
#But tying me? That's ab-mmph?#
#For silence.#
POOF.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
Sirius struggled against the metallic strings.
#Mmpphh.#
He just wounded himself, again. How dare the boy leave him like this? His hate for the boy had reached a new level. When he first met Chicken-rime, he had imagined the Sorting Hat screaming "SLYTEHRIN." Yes the boy was definitely belongs to that house.
After several tries, he gave up. He grimaced at his situation.
Alone.
Tied.
Gagged.
Wounded.
'Wait, I'm in a deserted alley. Perfect for appara-"
POOF.
'Why do these things happen to me?" he thought as he lowered his head in defeat.
'At least, I'll get out of these strings, what the?'
Chicken-rime came back with the orange haired girl.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
Sasuke pushed the girl farther into the alley.
"You… you're a …a… ninja."
"Good conclusion, now my wallet."
"You're one of them," the girl said ignoring his question.
"My wallet."
The girl raised the arm where she is holding a tiny black bag.
"Good," he said reaching for the item. But it never reached his palms.
The girl grabbed a kunai with a free hand then threw the pouch in his face. She grabbed one of his arms immediately after freeing her other hand before twisting the same limb around his back. He could feel the cold metal on his neck.
"Die," she said.
"So you're a ninja too."
"Shut up."
The girl pressed the knife harder on his neck. He began to feel his blood oozed from the wound.
"So you think you could kill me. How amusing. You're just digging your grave a little too early."
"You're not in a position to threaten me."
"You think so? I already saw an opening."
With great speed he raised his free arm and grabbed the hand with the kunai, then released his killing intent on her. This startled the girl. He took this opportunity to free his twisted arm through a powerful jerk. He turned around her neck and pressed her back to the wall.
"So how do you want to die?" he whispered in her ear.
The girl struggled against him. Sasuke could taste her fear as it reached new heights. This activated his curse seal. As it spreads to his body, he lifted the girl upward by the neck. The girl began to gasp for air, if it will be able to pass through her throat.
"Goodbye," he hissed as the tears fell from the girls eyes.
Sasuke or the girl didn't even notice the loud crack that pierced the air. But something did catch their attention.
BLAG.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
Sirius was now staring at the piece of wood he used on Chicken-rime. It was broke into pieces, yet the boy didn't flinched. He knew that intervening was not a good idea because he didn't understand what happened. But when the black leaf-like tattoos spread at the boy's body, he knew he had to do something. Then he realized that he was having hard time to breathe. He looked at the two. His "bodyguard" released the girl. She's currently breathing very fast.
"Snape-san."
That didn't sound good. The boy's atmosphere has completely changed. It used to arrogant and infuriating now it was deadly and dangerous. He gathered his courage and gave a signal to the girl to escape but it wasn't necessary she was already leaving the alley.
"And where are you going?"
It seemed like forever. None of them made a move. Suddenly, Sirius did something that he will consider as the bravest thing he did in his life for the coming years. He punched the boy.
#RUN.#
At first she was reluctant to leave him alone but after several seconds she said something in Japanese before running at the other direction.
'Finally she's safe.'
Abruptly, a hand gripped his neck. The boy had recovered from his surprise in Sirius attack.
"Tsk, playing hero. You should have taken the opportunity to escape."
Even though Black didn't understand anything, he knew that he'll die unless he does something, fast. He could no longer feel the ground on his feet.
#Can't (breathe) kill (puff) me (pant). Oro- (wheeze) creep (cough) wouldn't (hiss) be (gasp) happy.#
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
Sasuke slowly processed those words,
"SHIT."
Slowly the black tattoos receded as his curse seal deactivated. He blew it big time. Now everyone from this town knew that he was a ninja. Not just a ninja but a ninja from the Hidden Village of Sound. It will be impossible for him to gather information from this place anymore. Not to mention he almost failed his mission by killing its main objective. Subsequently, he realized that Severus was still struggling against his arm. He loosened his grip then pressed a muscle on the man's neck. He caught Snape, as the male fell unconscious. Then his hand formed familiar set of seals.
POOF.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
