A/N: The third chapter for this story, so Hermione and Yamato's parents were mafia who are working undercover as dentists back in England, and both brother and sister are the distant cousins of both Dino Cavallone and Tsuna Sawada. For KHR fans, the mafia will not make any appearance in this chapter because our heroes are still in Konoha. And I had no idea of who should I pair Hermione with but in my mind I already had a number of people. Harry and Ron are out, and no not the Slytherin's prince.

Important Note: There's some slightly changes in the characters, Naruto and Sakura are both 15 year-old while Sai is 17, making him as same age as the Golden Trio, but there's no changes in Yamato and Kakashi so in my story they are slightly younger than the manga/anime, sorry for the last minute changes. So there are some slightly small changes in each chapter but don't worry, just a small part which mostly concern about their age but didn't change the concept of the stories and the rest of the part are still the same, sorry for the trouble.

Warning: May contains some vulgar language and swearing, though may be in the upcoming chapter but still want to inform, for your own safety.

Disclaimers: If I had the right of all three, I might make this into a movie hahaha

Chapter 3: The Story of the Golden Trio

Hermione, Harry and Ron look around the surrounding area as they approach the hospital in Konoha. Yamato wants each and every one of them to have a medical check-up to make sure that they did not have any hidden injury or whatsoever that none of them are aware off and also to help them gain their energy back. At first, both Harry and Ron had refused and even giving Yamato lame excuses that they were both alright but Yamato refused to hear any of those and Harry and Ron unable to brush him away, in fact he managed to scare them off easily and even threaten them to thrown them inside of his self-made wooden jail if they refused to listen to his advice. Harry and Ron may be stubborn as much as Hermione but after seeing her didn't have the guts to opposed him the two of them gave up, knowing that Hermione who is lot stubborn and scary compared to them didn't dare to opposed Yamato meaning that her older brother is lot scarier than she is.

The three of them had arrived at the hospital with Yamato right behind them. The rest members of Team Kakashi are having some training at the moment. They enter the hospital and greeted by one of the nurse on duty as Yamato approaches her.

"Good afternoon, is there anything I can do for you?" The nurse greeted him as she eyed the three teenagers and smiled at them.

"Good afternoon, I come here to send these three for some medical check-up to see if there's any hidden injury or such and if you can give anything since that they had been using a lot of energy lately and did not have enough rest," Yamato spoke on their behalf as Hermione, Harry and Ron stood behind him and glanced around the hospital as many people are glancing towards them as they wanted to see for themselves the three strangers that suddenly appeared in Konoha. The three of them slightly felt uncomfortable as they did not like too many attentions.

"Ah…I see, aren't they the…never mind, please follow me," the nurse was about to asked but she changed her mind and indicated them to follow her.

Yamato nods his head and follow the nurse as the Golden Trio follows closely from behind. The nurse brings them to one of the empty room which has four empty beds and indicates that the three of them to lie at any of the empty bed as she wants to have them checked up immediately. Harry and Ron choose their empty bed. Yamato stands next to the bed where Hermione had choose and lie down while waiting for the nurse who had exit the room to get some medical equipment for their medical check-up. Harry stand and walk from his bed towards the window and looks at the scenery outside while Ron lie on his bed looking at the ceiling while Hermione begins to read a book while waiting.

"How long do we have to wait?" Harry suddenly asked as he still looked at the outside scenery while Yamato, Hermione and Ron turned their attention to him.

Hermione cannot find the answer for him while Ron doesn't have a clue of what to say. Yamato know that this is hard for them when they are currently on an important mission but their conditions did not allowed them to do any heavy movement at the moment and from what Hermione had said to him during their conversation last night, he had been thinking about the problem that they had faced and he really wanted to help but did not sure if they, especially Harry and Ron, would willing to accept it since Harry had insisted that they should not linger here much longer since they still on their mission but Yamato know what is the best for them. He had no problem with Hermione but it is Harry and Ron that he wasn't sure of. He had been thinking about this the whole morning and he had made up his mind, now it is time to tell them what is been playing in his mind.

"When the three of you are good, healthy and strong enough, then you may leave, but for now I want the three of you to listen to me. Hermione had told me about the three of you, your current mission and she even had told me about the problems that the three of you had faced while on the run," Yamato spoke as both Harry and Ron stared at Hermione and they did not believed that she had told him about them and their mission. But Yamato is a determine kind of person and his determination can't be simply brush off.

"Don't blame her for what she had told me about all these, I need to know what kind of danger that my sister had been facing and trust me, I'm not a very tolerant person when my family is threaten with danger and no one is going to like it when I'm angry. She had told me about these Horcruxes and the one on your possession and how it has been effected the three of you when you wore it, the two of you may say that this is not my problem to worry about but there's actually a way to prevent it from trying to manipulate you, and all you have to do is to agree to let me train you while the three of you are here, and you want to I can teach you some self-defence so that you are able to look after yourself when you are able to continue your mission," Yamato said as two of the Golden Trio stared at him in disbelieved. Harry and Ron did not speak a word and even Hermione did not know what to say to her older and only brother. She felt slightly guilty for not referring to them earlier about it. She mouthed sorry to them, as Harry take a deep breath, not knowing what else to say.

"You can actually do that, just to help us?" Ron asked, breaking the silent among them and this had Harry to stare at him.

"Yes," Yamato only answer when the door opened and the nurse had returns with some medical equipment.

"Alright then, it is time for your check-up, so the three of you please lie down on your bed for I will begin to check on you one by one," the nurse said as Harry returned to his bed and Yamato left the room.

While the nurse begins to check on Hermione, Harry asks Ron about what Yamato had said earlier.

"Ron, do you think that we really need to, you know, accept his offer, no offence though Hermione," Harry spoke as he still did not want to involve other people in their problems.

"Harry, do you not hear what he had said, maybe this is our only chance so that we can and able to help ourselves. Think about it mate, the locket had badly affected us, especially the two of us, and because of that we often fought or argued, we never did that before while in school. Maybe we should grab this chance that being offered to us, we may be wizards, and witch, but that doesn't make us perfect in everything, and if Yamato had offered to help us I don't think that he is lying or joking about it, because if Hermione believes in her brother so why shouldn't we. He may be a muggle Harry, but he may know something that we don't," Ron spoke and for the first time both Harry and Hermione are amazed with him, never though that he will speak truthfully about it. Ron's words had Harry to think deeply and though he did not wanted to but he admitted that Ron was right about this.

"Wow Ron, never thought that I would hear you speak like that, since when you had become clever?" Hermione asked as she slightly smiles at him while the nurse who is slightly confused of what they are saying, ignored it and continued her work as she write something on her report.

"Well, I guess that I had learnt something while on the run and after meeting with your brother, even though we just met him," Ron replied, he felt glad of himself.

"Thank you, for believing in my brother," Hermione thanked him, Ron beamed and Harry could only smiles, couldn't agree more.

"No problem Hermione, besides you and Harry are like my own siblings too, and definitely you want me to believe you as well as I want to you to believe in me too, right?" Ron spoke again, and both Harry and Hermione know that he is right about it.

"Ron, there's one more thing. Why do you said that only the two of us are often being affected badly by the Horcrux, how do you can tell that?" Harry asked him as he still confused with it.

"Well, it is obvious, isn't it," Ron spoke as clearly as he remembered it.

None of them had realized that Yamato is standing just outside their room, smiling as he heard it.

xoxoxo

It was almost evening that when the nurse released them as Yamato waited for them outside the hospital and they were greeted by Kakashi and the rest of the team who had just finished with their training.

"Yo…so how's it going?" Naruto asked them as Yamato and the Golden Trio ready to leave the hospital. Harry and Ron are now able to speak their language thanks to Hermione even though they were kind of confused at first and feels funny too when speaking a foreign language for the first time of their life. It feels like they had eaten some of the product made by Fred and George for their joke shop that enables them to speak different languages though those two just intended to make a joke out of it.

"We are good, the nurse told us to take a lot of rest and eat a lot of healthy food for we did not have enough energy left in our body and did not allow us to leave the village until we are strong enough," Harry responded as Yamato ruffled Hermione's hair, lucky her that her hair is now more manageable than before. Hermione slightly blushed with her brother's action and she could hear Ron snicker quietly at her as he covered his mouth with his hand but Hermione knew that he is smirking at her.

"Well, you should listen to her for she is always right, now let's get something to eat," Yamato spoke as Naruto and Ron agreed with him immediately while Hermione and Harry begin to wonder if Naruto is Ron's long lost cousin for the two of them loved to eat.

The eight of them left the hospital area while Naruto explains to Ron what and where to find great food around Konoha. Yamato and Sakura could only sighed while Harry and Hermione tries not to laugh as Sai just smiled at both Naruto and Ron's behaviour but Kakashi had steal some glances at Hermione and when the brunette saw him he pretends to look away. Hermione could feel herself a little warm and a tint of blush appear in her face and tries to look at other direction but him. Kakashi tries to steal another glance at her when he noticed that Yamato is slightly staring at him. Kakashi tries to smirks behind his mask but at the same time he is slightly tremble, he usually be the one who is superior towards Yamato and had even bullied him uncountable of time but this time around he is the one who suddenly becomes timid for Yamato suddenly turned scary since his sister had appeared in Konoha yesterday and was very protective of her.

Yamato somewhat glares at his senior who seems tries to catch Hermione's attention, he guess that the books he often read had really affected him, gosh he really wanted to blame Jiraiya for giving Kakashi those books but there's no helping about it. He knows how Kakashi is really addicted to those books and he had the whole collection of the books. He then turned to Hermione as she slightly glanced at him and smile. Man, he never thought that his younger sister had changed so much, from the tomboyish with love of baggy clothes she had changed and become a feminine young woman and begin to attracts attentions from men, whether young or old, and his job as her older brother is now increased and he will not allow any men to come closer to her and he will beat those men even if some of them are his own senior.

"Oi…you guys, want to join us?" a voice called out for them as they are nearing the town and saw Shikamaru with his fellow teammates and Asuma waved at them as they are about to enter into a Yakiniku shop. This had got both Ron and Naruto's attention and the now inside their head they imagine the nice grilled meats with great smell and the tender, juicy taste of the grilled meat is just perfect and they could feel it melt in their mouth, while Hermione and Harry looked at each other, confirmed that Naruto is Ron's long lost cousin and surely Mrs Weasley is very happy to find out about it. But the two of them are yet to meet Chouji.

"Hey, want to join them, surely the three of you can meet some new friends here," Yamato spoke as Naruto looked at the three of them and smile as nodded his head fast, telling them to just agree with him. Ron instantly agree, Hermione and Harry looked at each other and wonder if it is okay for them though Hermione had no problem with it. Naruto and Ron looked at both Hermione and Harry with their puppy eyes.

"Can we join too, Yamato-senpai?" Sakura asked, she and Sai smiled at him and Kakashi just simply laugh. Yamato sighed as he glanced at both Hermione and Harry who are yet to respond.

"Well, seems that there's no harm in that, right Harry?" said Hermione, smiling a bit as Ron and Naruto punched the air happily and Harry nodded, slightly grinning. The eight of them then follows Shikamaru and his fellow teammates into the shop.

xoxoxo

Harry, Hermione and Ron are still trying to adjust themselves to sit the way those shinobi sit while eating, and luckily that they didn't have much problem with it.

Naruto and Sakura had introduced them to Shikamaru, Chouji, Ino and Asuma and the four are gladly to meet them. Ron and Naruto sit side by side and Hermione choose to sit next to Sakura but surprisingly Kakashi sits on her other side, while Yamato sit across them next to Harry and had his eyes on his senior and beloved little sister while Sai choose to sit next to Sakura and Team Asuma sat on a different room next to theirs.

Hermione had transfigured hers, Harry and Ron's chopsticks into forks and knives since none of them knew how to eat with chopsticks. Naruto, Sakura, Sai and Kakashi are still amazed even though they had seen it yesterday when the three first arrived here.

As everyone begins to eat, Hermione and Harry noticed that Kakashi didn't removes his mask so that made the two best friends wonder how is Kakashi going to eat when he still got that mask attach covering his mouth. Hermione wanted to ask but she aware that her brother is looking at both her and Kakashi. She eyed Harry secretly and luckily that Harry got her covered. The copy nin realize that both Hermione and Harry are slightly glanced at him.

"Is there any problem?" He asked the both of them who looked slightly confused at the moment, which also had others' attention as well.

"No, we just wondering how are you going to eat with that mask still covering your mouth," Harry spoke as he looked at the grey-haired ninja. This had got not only the Golden Trio attention but almost all of them which include Naruto and Sakura as the two of them grinned evilly.

"Oh…I am, well, I usually…," Kakashi started as he really did not expect that they will ask that. Surely he hardly, or never, removes his mask in front of them.

"Yeah Kakashi-sensei, just removes that mask or we will eat your shares," Naruto said him as he grinned evilly at him. Kakashi could only glares at him as he and Sakura snickers quietly.

"Well, I had my own secret way of eating even without removing my mask," Kakashi spoke, making the Golden Trio to look at him confusedly or amused with his answer. Yamato just sighed, Sai smile though he was a little confused at first while Naruto and Sakura just glare at him.

"Okay, if that what you say though I'm still a bit confuse here," Harry replied back as he eyed Hermione and she just simply shrugged and continued to eat.

That night after taking some rest and having a nice shower, separately of course, Hermione and Yamato had a brother and sister's conversation and later they are joined by Harry and Ron who arrived with Kakashi since the two of them stayed at his place. Yamato may have heard about them from Hermione but Kakashi had no idea about them since Harry and Ron didn't tell him much about them or their mission.

The four of them begins to discuss about what Yamato had offered them earlier that day as Kakashi was a bit lost in their conversation since the four of them decided to speak in English. Yamato know that he should include Kakashi into this matter since Harry and Ron stayed at his place and he might as well give them a hand about it. He did not want to ask his sister to do this but since Harry and Ron did not know what the spell she had used on them to help them able to understand other's language, he had no choice about it. It's not that he did not want to speak in Japan but sometimes he wants to speak in his own native language especially when speaking with his own family member or those from his birth country. And because it is only Kakashi so he wants to be a little selfish.

"Hermione, could you please put the language, whatever it is, spell on him so that he will be able to join our conversation here," Yamato asked his sister as he pointed towards Kakashi. He had been on alert when Kakashi tries to start a conversation with her, he actually never against her having a conversation with him but since they had arrived here in Konoha Kakashi seems to show some interest in Hermione and he felt a little awkward about it since he is his senior and she is his little sister.

"Eh…why, what, wait, stop, what are you going to do to me? Stop, stop it," Kakashi asked panicky as he saw Hermione walked towards him and have that wand pointed at him while Yamato, Harry and Ron tried not to laugh but failed.

"Don't worry, I just want to put a spell on you so that you can understand our language," Hermione spoke nicely as Kakashi fidgeted and tried to cover himself with anything he could grab.

"Oi…oi…senpai, careful with my things here," Yamato spoke with a little warning though he still tried to stop himself from laughing. Harry and Ron had been laughing loudly they had end up coughing.

"No…no, please stop, wait…wait." Kakashi is now panic as Hermione had approaches him with that wand in her hand and still pointed at him.

"Come on, I won't hurt you, I promise, you just feel a little tingling then you'll be fine, trust me," Hermione tries to smooth talking him but the effort seems to fail. She turned to her older brother in frustration.

Yamato now felt pity for his sister as she is trying hard to convince his fellow ninja member and senior.

"Kakashi-senpai, she will not hurt you, and she already promised you that," Yamato now tried to convinced the copy nin as Kakashi stared at him then to Hermione who is now smiling at him. What a beautiful smile she had. He looked back and forth between the siblings and could see that they are not joking about it.

"Ok…okay, just don't hurt or tried to change me into anything," Kakashi said with slightly nervous as he recalled the earlier event where Hermione had transfigured the chopsticks into forks and knives.

"I won't change you into anything, if I wanted to I already done it," Hermione replied as she stared at him yet at the same time she gave him a sincere smile. And Kakashi melt into that smile of hers.

"Okay then…I'm ready," told Kakashi as he closed his eyes. Hermione then cast the spell in a foreign language he had never heard off and at first he felt a tingling sensation on his throat when the feeling begins to fade and then he felt nothing.

"Okay, done," Hermione announced to him as Kakashi slowly opened his eyes and saw her smiling at him as he felt a little warm on his face. Harry and Ron beamed at him while Yamato looked at him and smile though he could sense that he is giving him a little warning as well.

"Right, now let's begin our discussion for tonight." Yamato called upon them as they gathered around the table. The Golden Trio looked at Kakashi who is at the moment still confused of what are they going to discuss for tonight. Yamato then glanced at his senior as he seems to be a bit lost at the moment. He then whispered something to his sister, asking for approval. She looked at him, then called both Harry and Ron and indicated them to come closer as Yamato asked for their approval as Kakashi still had no idea about them. Harry and Ron did not sure at first but then if they are going to ask for Kakashi's help then it left them no choice.

"Kakashi-senpai, I don't know if Harry and Ron or either one of them had told you about their current mission or problem or trouble that they had faced while on that mission. You know that Hermione, Harry and Ron suddenly appeared in Konoha yesterday and according to the ninja who had brought them, they suddenly appeared out of nowhere and end up here. For your information, these three are actually on the run and at the same time they are on a hunt, hunting down what they called as Horcrux, which is vital for them to get these things and destroys it," Yamato begins to inform Kakashi while the Golden Trio just sat and listened.

"Okay, they are running from what, and what is this Hor...Hor..?" Kakashi asked as he did not catch the pronunciation pretty clear.

"Horcrux, actually there are a few Horcruxes that we need to hunt down and destroys," Harry spoke as Hermione and Ron nodded their head. He then indicated to Yamato to continue.

"They are running from the Ministry, I know you are aware that they are not a bunch of normal people here, they are in fact witch and wizards. Hermione, my own sister, is a muggleborn because our parents are not from any magical family but her magic born within her. Harry is a half blood, his father is a pureblood wizard and his mother is just like Hermione, a muggleborn. But Ron is a pureblood wizard. They had their own world known as the Wizarding world and I've entered there once with my parents to send Hermione off when she was accepted in their prestigious school known as Hogwarts. The Wizarding world is hidden from muggles' eyes, those who are born normal without any magic, like me and you. I still remembered the old lady whom introduced herself as Professor Minerva McGonagall who came to our house to inform our parents about Hermione's power and did some magic to prove that she's not lying, but she was not aware of my present at that time because I had managed to hide myself completely from her view so she did not know that I was there listening and watching them," Yamato spoke as Harry, Ron and Kakashi stared at him in disbelieved. Hermione could only smirk because she knew about it.

"But why, are they doing anything wrong that they are hunted by the Ministry?" Kakashi asked as he really wanted to know what is actually happened.

Yamato didn't say anything at the moment as he turned his attention towards Harry since Hermione had told him about Harry being their leader so he had been thinking about this for a moment.

"Harry, I think that it is better if we hear this from the three of you so that we can understand what is actually happened pretty clear," Yamato spoke as the Golden Trio stared at him. Harry looked pretty much reluctant at the moment but Ron had nudged him on his arm and nodded his head.

"Well, Yamato had told you about our background so we put that aside. We are on the run from the Ministry because a Dark Wizard had risen in the Wizarding world and he and his loyal followers, the Death Eaters had hunted down muggleborns witches an wizards, like Hermione, because believed that they are a disgrace on the Wizarding society, the Death Eaters are from the pureblood witches and wizards, the purist who think that they are better than anyone else, but not all pureblood agree with their beliefs, like Ron and his family, in fact those who disagree with the Dark Wizard especially the purebloods are labelled as blood traitors. Now, they not only hunted the muggleborn witches or wizards but anyone who they think that the potential to bring them down. The Dark Wizard had split his soul into seven and put each one of it into seven items known as the Horcruxes, the ones that we are currently hunted down and tried to destroyed one by one, I had destroyed two while in school, one in our possession and we don't have any idea where to find the remaining four though we only knew about three of its but still had no idea about the last one. We are the most wanted person in the Wizarding world especially the Ministry because of what we had done to oppose them, especially on certain of them. None of them believed that the Dark Wizard had returned once, and because of that the Wizarding world are in turmoil. Now the Ministry is controlled by the Death Eaters and even the current Minister is also one of them, the previous Minister had been killed by them so that they are able to take control of the Wizarding society. Even our school had been controlled by the Death Eater, our previous Headmaster had been assassinated by one of the teacher who is now the new Headmaster and two Death Eaters had becomes the teachers in our school and they are the most prejudice wizard and witch ever. We are supposed to finish our seventh and final year in school this time around, but instead of returning back to school we choose to hunt down the Horcruxes." Harry spoke as Kakashi gasped and stared at them in disbelieved, he never thought that they are having such a hard time while Yamato eyed them with sympathy and anger towards the prejudice purist that put his sister and her best friends in misery.

"The Horcrux that in our possession can manipulated us, me and Ron are the worse to feels the effect, it can drives us to madness and anger toward each other. We never fought or argued badly while in school before but since we had this locket," Hermione put the locket on the table as Harry continues "we constantly fought and unable to think properly, Hermione somehow managed to block her mind from being manipulated but since we had to take turns wearing it sometimes she can felt the effect too when either Ron or myself wore it at that time because it makes us suddenly felt angry and we started to blames each other and things are very frustrated at that moment. We had tried many times to destroy it but all had failed and that is one of the reasons that had us fighting," Harry spoke in anger as he glared at the damn locket. Kakashi could sense anger comes from all of them includes Yamato and himself towards the locket, the one Horcrux that could turned anyone to madness.

"But why must the three of you? Why not anyone else to hunt these Horcruxes, isn't there any adult who can do it instead of the three of you?" Kakashi asked them.

"I've asked Hermione the same thing yesterday, I was surprise too when she told me about it," Yamato spoke as Hermione glanced at him. He slightly smiled at her and held her hand firmly, letting her know that he is there for her.

"It is because we are the only ones who knew about the existence of the Horcruxes, no one else does," Hermione responded as Harry and Ron nodded their head agreed with her.

"How come no one else knew about it?" Kakashi asked as he is eager to find out.

"It is because no one had been informed about this, I was told about this by our former Headmaster who had been assassinated before the end of our sixth year. The Dark Wizard, also known as Vold…."

"Harry stop, don't you dare to say his name," Ron suddenly spoke as he warned Harry not to continue.

"Why, why you can't say his name?" Yamato asked, Hermione never told him about this.

"Because his name is taboo," Hermione informed them.

"Alright, the Dark Wizard, we called him as You-Know-Who, whose real name is Tom Riddle, began to create the Horcruxes when he was still a student in Hogwarts, involved himself in dark magic, our late Headmaster had told me about him and the history of his past, how his father had killed his mother because she is a muggleborn while his father was a proud pureblood who hated muggleborn and how the hatred towards muggles born in him. He had killed a fellow student while in school to prove of his dark magic and after he left school he slowly began to campaign among the proud purist to exterminate the muggleborns. Our late Headmaster had formed a secret society called the Order of the Phoenix with those who opposed him and his campaign and began to fight back but he and his loyal followers, the Death Eaters, were powerful and at the same time he had created the Horcruxes. There was a prophecy about him being killed by a boy and because of that many witches and wizards were attacked and killed." Harry spoke as Hermione and Ron could sense sadness in his voice and Yamato too realized about it and he remembered of what Hermione had told him about Harry's past.

"Since You-Know-Who was so powerful, people in the Wizarding world lived in fear by the time of his reign, my mother told me that she had lost two brothers, twins brothers, when they were fought against the Death Eaters, I wasn't born yet when they attacked our home and my parents had to hide my older brothers so that the Death Eaters won't find them. Harry had lost his parents, and another friend of ours, Neville, had his parents locked in St Mungo because they were crucioed by one of the Death Eater until they both lost their mind." Ron spoke when Harry didn't say anything, anger clearly shown in his face.

"What about the prophecy?" Kakashi asked, Yamato did not say a word about it and he let the teenagers to tell him themselves.

"The prophecy was about a boy who was born on certain year and time and he will be the one that will eventually kill and destroy him for good, and because of that Harry's parents were killed and our friend Neville had his parents to lost their mind and unable to be cured. Among the members of the Order there was a traitor who had gave out the location where Harry and his parents lived to the Dark Wizard, Harry was about a year old when You-Know-Who came to their house and killed his parents. Harry was supposed to die too along his parents that night but he survived," Ron spoke on Harry's behalf as Hermione held Harry's hand firmly.

"Why, what had happened?" Kakashi had his full interest in them now.

"Supposedly he was killed because You-Know-Who had used a killing curse on him but the curse rebounded back, hit the Dark Wizard instead and he was destroyed but not killed," Hermione explained to them as Kakashi began to formed the puzzle.

"Because of the Horcruxes?" he spoke, looking at them for confirmation.

"Yes, because he had split his soul and put it into different items that is why he was not killed but he had no physical body so no one know about him or of his whereabouts after that night since no one know that he was not yet been killed either except his loyal followers so for years they had been waiting for him to rise. And that is why Harry is known as The-Boy-Who-Lived, he was the one mentioned in the prophecy and the one that is wanted the most by the Dark Wizard himself," Hermione spoke as Harry glanced at her. He knew that Hermione always cared for him no matter what happened and she is the sister he never had.

"So, what happened now, apart from searching these Horcruxes and destroying it and at the same time being on a run?" Kakashi asked them.

"At the moment we are still thinking about how to destroys this one and since none of us, well me and Harry, had any idea how we wanted to learn how to block our mind from being manipulate by this bloody Horcrux, don't forget that it contained the You-Know-Who's soul," Ron responded.

"This thing really knows how to twist people's mind, and it is one bad news too. We can help you but it is you yourself that needed to be strong and be willing as well," Yamato said to them as he eyed Kakashi and the copy nin nodded his head.

"Yes, in order to learn how to block this thing from manipulating or tried to twist your mind, you must have enough energy because it can be very tiring and you really needed to focus all your energy to your mind when you had this with you," Kakashi spoke as Harry and Ron looked at them.

"Is it going to be an easy or hard one?" Ron asked as the two shinobi looked at him.

"If you want to know how hard it is, ask Hermione," Yamato said, making both the two wizards to turn to Hermione. She looked at them sheepishly.

"It can be very tiring at first but if you often do and slowly learn how to control your mind and energy then you had the good chance to be able to block the bloody thing from trying to enter into your mind," Hermione spoke as Yamato looked at her proudly.

"Okay, so when can we start?" Harry asked, it is obvious that he and Ron can't wait the learn it.

"Well, that will depends on your own body to decide since the three of you needs ample time to rest so we won't start pretty soon, and I think that you still need to gain back your loss energy so we won't start tomorrow, but I will see and tries to teach you basic thing about all these energy controls and then when the three of you are ready then we can start your training," Yamato spoke to them as Kakashi nodded his head.

"And what most important for now is that don't try to think of anything negative or bad, I know that the three of you are worried about what is happening there in the Wizarding world, but don't forget that your safety is your main priority, if you want to end all this then you had to make sure that you have strong will and believes in yourself," Kakashi told them. Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other before turned to the two shinobi and nodded their head.

"I think that we stop here for now because it is getting late and tomorrow Kakashi and I had some work to do. So Mia, tomorrow you are staying here and take a good rest and don't forget what the nurse had told you earlier, I will try to come home as early as I could and we can go and get something to eat together, okay?" Yamato said to Hermione as she slightly blushed at the mentioned of her nickname in front of Harry and Ron.

"Okay," her only responded as she could hear both Harry and Ron snickered quietly. She glared at them and that got the two boys to shut their mouth.

"And the two of you should listen to what Kakashi-senpai will tell you, if anything that you are unaware of please inform him and the two of you should also take a good rest and I don't want to hear any of you tries to escape or even tries to run away because I can called the whole shinobi here in Konoha and hunt you down," said Yamato as he even tried to scared them, making Hermione to smack his arm.

"Stop doing that," she pretended to be angry at him as both Ron and Harry snorted and Kakashi watched in amused. It is still hard for him to found out about Yamato having a younger sister, let alone being a witch and now had become sort of fugitive from their own society which is currently being controlled by a group of evil witches and wizards. He knew that they had only told them half of their story but he knew that he cannot pressure them too much just to get the complete information.

"Okay, okay, sorry," Yamato apologized to the two boys as he giggled.

As it is getting pretty late, Kakashi and the two boys have asked for permission to leave. The three of them wishes the Grangers' siblings goodnight and waves them goodbye.

Hermione put the locket back at the table as she goes to the bathroom to brush her teeth and clean her face before going to bed. As she came out from the bathroom she could see Yamato is standing next to her door waiting for her.

"Well, I'm proud that you have made the right decision," he spoke as Hermione stood next to him. Hermione could only smiles at him as she holds on his hand firmly.

"You know that after hearing what you had told me yesterday, I was so worried about you," he spoke again, making Hermione slightly winced.

"Why?"

"Because you are my only sister, and I don't want anything bad happen to you," Yamato spoke in a soft tone. Worriedness is clearly shown in his face.

"Yamato, I will be fine. Don't worry about me, I am capable of looking after myself, besides I had learnt about it from the best," Hermione assured him as a smile appeared in her face.

Yamato stared at her, at first he did not want to believe it but then he could see the confident in her eyes and know that she is telling him the truth. He nods his head, telling her that he trusted her. He gives her a hug and ruffled her hair then wishes her goodnight before the two siblings departs to their own room to take their rest for the night.

Here you go the third chapter for this story. Hope that all of you are going to like it and very sorry for any grammatical mistakes. This is one hard chapter to write but I enjoyed writing it. If any of you had any question or so about this chapter or this story feel free to send your PM to me anytime and I will try my best to answer it for you.

As for pairing for Hermione, I'm not sure whether to have one of the Weasley twins or Kakashi though it is pretty obvious that he tried to get her attention or anyone else in Naruto or KHR but it won't be the three mentioned above, definitely no way Hermione/Krum, urghhh…. No Hermione with any older men like Snape whatsoever because that disgust me.
