Enjoy, everyone who still reads this!
Kakashi was surprised that no one had questioned him about his ANBU mask yet. Either masks were normal or everybody trusted Hagrid enough to know that he was a good guy. Kakashi watched as everyone said hello to Hagrid or even stopped for a chat. Kakashi smirked under his mask; he loved it when he was right. Hagrid finished his last conversation and finally led Kakashi into another store. This one was labeled Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. Kakashi was ushered onto what looked like a changing room. He followed all of Madame Malkin's directions. He let her talk on and on while he gave her his famous eye crinkle to continue the conversation. Kakashi only responded when she asked, "How do the robes fit now?", or, "Is there anything else that needs to be fixed?" He didn't even complain when Madame Malkin pricked him with the sewing needles. He was the perfect shinobi. Kakashi figured that if he 'happily' complied to all of the shopkeepers' and Hagrid's requests then maybe he could get to this so called school and get this mission over with soon. After Madame Malkin finished with the robes Hagrid paid her and led Kakashi to the next store.
"Hagrid, how many more stores are going to go to?" Kakashi asked, starting to get annoyed. Hagrid gave a hearty laugh at Kakashi's tone.
"Jus' a few more stores Kerkashi." Hagrid opened the door and motioned for Kakashi to enter. The entire store was filled with books. There were books on hexes, transfiguration, death omens, and even predicting the future. How he would've loved to have the predicting the future book years ago. Kakashi just stood gazing at the collection of books the store had while Hagrid collected all of his school books.
"Here ya go Kerkashi." Hagrid handed the books for Kakashi to look at. Sure enough, predicting the future was one of the books Kakashi needed for the school year. He stared intently at the cover like it would his loved ones back. Hagrid noticed this and gave another hearty chuckle.
"Don' worry Kerkashi there will be enough time ter look a' yer books later." Kakashi has led out of the bookstore still clutching his book.
Hagrid left Kakashi at an ice cream parlour. Hagrid had said that he still had to get his present for Kakashi and left telling him to stay there and finish his ice cream. Kakashi didn't mind sitting alone. It left him the opportunity to actually look at the interesting world around him. His couldn't help reading the wanted poster on the wall next to him. It read,
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS WIZARD?
Approach with extreme caution! Do not use magic against this man!
It showed a moving, yes moving picture of a man screaming at the camera. At first glance the man looked angry and crazy. At second glance though, Kakashi saw the sorrow and loneness in his eyes. The man's eyes reminded him too much of his own. Sometimes Kakashi really hated how well he could read people sometimes.
Hagrid finally returned with what looked like a large bird cage. Hagrid was beaming as he trudged through the crowd of people to return to Kakashi. He placed the cage onto the table beamed at Kakashi again.
"I bought you yer very own owl. I figure' you would need one ter send letters back 'ome." Kakashi gave him an eye crinkled smile and thanked him. It was a great grey horned owl that stood with pride. It's golden eyes scanned Kakashi, sizing him up. Kakashi returned the bird's gaze and feed it one of the treats Hagrid gave him. It continued to glare at Kakashi until it quickly snatched the treat from his hand. It hooted it's thanks and ruffled it's feathers. Kakashi's shoulder's shook with laughter. The bird was just like him. It's impatient, glares, and it has grey feathers just like his hair.
"Whatcha gonna name 'im Kerkashi?" Kakashi thought for a moment until the perfect name popped into his head.
"Tomodachi."
"Tomodachi?" Hagrid asked, clearly confused.
"Yes, it means friend in Japanese." Kakashi turned back to the wanted poster and decided this might just be the right time to ask.
"Hagrid, who is that man?" Kakashi asked pointing at the poster.
"'Im? 'E's Sirius Black; a traitor an' a murderer." The look in Hagrid's eyes was full of hate and discontent.
"Professor Dumbledore will tell yeh more when we get ter Hogwarts though. Now if ya follow me I got a surprise for yeh."
Kakashi was angry, even more than usual. He was glaring daggers into the back of Hagrid's head. For some unknown reason Hagrid had thought that riding giant motorcycle through the air would be fun and of course Kakashi was dragged along. Hagrid had 'forgot' to tell him that it was a super-fast, FLYING motorcycle though and now Kakashi was hanging onto Hagrid for dear life. If only looks could kill.
Somehow Kakashi had managed to fall asleep on Hagrid's shoulder during the ride. A large *thud* had woken him up out of his dreamless sleep. Sleepily, he raised head up to see the motorcycle back on the ground. His head smacked back into Hagrid's shoulder when the motorcycle suddenly stopped. Hagrid quickly apologized as Kakashi tried to recollect himself. When he looked back up the building in front of him made his eyes widen. The school-no castle in front of him was huge! Hundreds of towers and spires surrounded a giant courtyard. A lake was seated at the right of the castle. In the moonlight the lake's crystal clear black surface looked so peaceful. A summer breeze blew through the night causing small ripples to appear on the lake's surface and the trees to rustle softly, ruining the peace.
"It's beautiful Hagrid." Kakashi whispered. He was still tired from his long day and all he wanted to do was lay in his bed surrounded by his nin-dogs. He advanced towards the gate but stopped waiting for Hagrid to catch up and lead the way. Hagrid's grin widened nevertheless and he strode forward leading Kakashi up to the castle.
