The Forgotten Son
The Bladers had been at Hogwarts for a week now and it was going well, but right now Kai was pissed-off; Tyson and Rei were bickering for some unknown reason and he was trying to get ready to go to the secret Defence Against the Dark Arts class that Harry was teaching and he couldn't think of where he put his note book, you can weren't even tell what they were arguing about by what they were yelling; they were just insulting each other!
"Pussy!"
"Pig!"
"Shitty kitty!"
"Wart-hog!"
Kai couldn't take it anymore! They hadn't been getting along since the little fist fight they had back at the Dojo and Kai had been hoping that they would learn from their mistakes and get over whatever they were fighting about, but apparently not. Groaning, Kai pulled himself from his chair abruptly and stormed out there lounge and down towards the Room of Requirements snarling silently in annoyance 'What's with those two! Their always fighting about something nowadays! They've been like this for over a week now! All they do now is bicker about the smallest things! What the fuck is wrong with them!' he thought as he was walking into the room of requirement.
When he looked around he sough that most of the Gryffindor's were there! The last time he was here there was like only twenty at the most!
Some of the Gryffindor's saw him enter the room and new he was a Slytherin, scolding, some of the braver teens started to walk over to him "What the bloody hell are you doing here Slytherin?" one yelled shoving Kai haarshly.
Kai's hardly moved from the hit and an eyebrow twitched at the nerve of them "I'm here to learn defective spells, isn't it obvious?" Kai stated calmly looking up at the Gryffindor and taking a couple steps back, Shit, He hated being short for his age!
There was a growing crowd now and the three Gryffindor's seemed angry at the smart-ass comment; they pulled out there wands but before they could cast a spell the whites of Kai's eyes turned a pitch black and he made a movement like he was backhanding someone but instead of hitting the Gryffindor's he hit the air just in front of them. As he made the movement a powerful heat wave sent them all flying back into the crowd.
Kai's eyes quickly turned back to normal and panting lightly 'Man! What just happened?' he thought and looked up to see everyone staring at him with wide eyes and open mouths.
Ron blinked dumbly while Hermione looked like she had just been about ready to jump into the fight when Kai had made his move; stunning her "Dude…that was so COOL!" the red-head yelled punching his fist into the air.
And with that statement everyone ran up to Kai and began asking how and what he did, well not the guys he knocked across the room, but that was to be expected. Kai backed away looking a little unnerved by the attention "I don't know what I did, all I know is that the first thing in my mind was to do…well what I did when they pulled out there wands" he told them trying to get them to give up and leave him alone.
After a long time trying to convince them that he didn't know what it was they left him alone.
Harry was walking around the room helping everyone with there Patronus Charms, everyone's patronus's were taking the shape of animals; they were utterly beautiful. Luna Lovegood, who Kai had met in the library one time, had a rabbit shaped Patronus and even Kai had to admit it was kinda cute.
It took Harry a while to get around the group before he notice that Kai seemed to be have trouble with this particular spell "Kai, you have to concentrate" he said putting a hand on the short teens tense shoulder. Blinking in surprise Kai looked over his shoulder at the other; he hadn't even notice him, before looking down to hide his eyes.
"I am concentrating, its just I'm having trouble thinking of a happy memory" he whispered so only Harry could hear him.
Harry frowned and tilted his head to try and see Kai's face "Kai.. All you have to do is think of the happiest moment in your life" he said slowly "Just think through your memory and find it" after saying this Harry stepped back and took his hand away from his shoulder so he could concentrate.
Sighing, Kai closed his eyes and tilted his head back before taking a deep breath and exhaled heavily. After a minute his red-eyes suddenly snapped open "Expecto Patronus!" he yell and at the end of his wand a golden light flew out and formed the shape of a large phoenix.
The room was filled with a blinding golden light, everyone stared in awe as the light died down to see the Blader on his hands and knees gasping for air.
Harry looked down at him with his mouth open in shock "Wow…Kai… Man, that's the second time today you've done something like that" he stated with an encouraging smile while helping Kai back up to his feet.
"Harry! don't you know that that was Patronus at a gold level!" Hermione screamed as she ran over with her hands in the air.
"What's the difference?" Ron asked dumbly and Hermione gave him a dirty look.
"Are you that thick? There are two levels to the Patronus charm; silver and gold. The only wizard who every made it to the gold level was Merlin him self!" she yelled at him. Kai blinked silently before raising his hand up slightly "Its true I didn't know that either" he said uncaring "It may not be that common knowledge"
Hermione opened her mouth to object but was interrupted by the sound of a loud boom which echoed around the large room. Everyone quickly turned to the source of the sound to see a small hole in one of the brick walls. Harry and Kai gave each other a worried glance before heading over to the hole and peeking through it. One the other side was Professor Umbridge standing proudly with a smug smirk upon her face, around her was a large group of Slytherin's and that creepy old caretaker that Kai never bothered to get the name of.
Umbridge pointed her wand at the wall once again and Kai quickly took action by tackling the shocked Gryffindor away from the wall just as it was blown to bits and crumbled to the ground.
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?" Harry bellowed quickly from his place on the floor "RUN!"
In that one order the group made a scramble for the exit as the dust began to clear, Umbridge smiled sweetly at their attempt "Get them" she ordered quickly in her high voice.
Slytherin's with her descended upon them in a flash, a tall ginger Slytherin grabbed Harry and Kai by the scruff of their vests before they had a chance to get away and hulled them to their feet. A couple of the club members were able to escape to room, but that didn't stop Umbridge's men to run after them.
Draco smirked beside the teacher, scanning the chaotic room in a delighted manner as his house mates subdued the rebels. He grinned as he looked around the room at the captured members of the Defence Group before stopping dead as he spotting the salt-haired Blader being held along with Potter. His mouth dropped open before slamming shut and his eyes narrowed dangerously at the sight. Storming up to the salt-haired teen the blond grabbed his old room mates arm almost so tight it would break "What are doing here?" he hissed in Kai's ear.
Kai merely glared defiantly at Draco; unhappy about the man-handling "Like I told them; I'm here to learn defensive spells" he whispered back with a smirk that made Draco growl and yank Kai from the other Slytherin's hold and down the hall behind Umbridge, the others following behind them with their captives.

The Headmasters office was full of people Kai noted as he and Harry were dragged into the room. Umbridge had wanted the groups leader and the traitor Slytherin with her during the meeting.
In the office Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk, his expression serene and the tips of his long fingers where placed together. Professor McGonagall stood beside him in a rigid posture, her expression was tense and serious.
By the fire place someone who Kai recognised as Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic, was looking surprisingly pleased with the situation. Two other men were in the room which the teen didn't recognise were by the door in a guarding manner; one was a stern-looking, dark-skinned man and a man with short wiry hair.
"Well, well, well" Fudge smirked as he saw Harry "What do we have here?" he asked before glancing at the exchange student.
"He was apprehended during the raid" Umbridge in a pleased voice.
"And who is this?" the Minister asked, staring at Kai with interest. Kai merely glared at him hatefully; he HATED people staring at him.
"This is the boy who started his year, Kai Hiwatari; the one from Japan" Umbridge explained, ticking the Blader off as she miss pronounced his last name "He was the only Slytherin present at their little 'meetings', I thought maybe valuable to the investigation"
"Ah!" Fudge nodded in understanding motioning for Umbridge to continue.
Smirking, she pulled a sheet of parchment from her pocket and presented it to the Minister "I've been watching them for weeks now, and see what I found during the raid; 'Dumbledore's army', proof of what I've been telling you right from the start, that the Dark Lord is not back, but that this is a way for Dumbledore to take control of the Ministry" Umbridge announced and waves the sign-up sheet slightly in excitement.
"That's not true!" Harry called defending headmaster and mentor "He had nothing to do with it, it was me!"
"Its very kind of you to shield me Mr. Potter, but as it has been pointed out that the parchment says 'Dumbledore's army' not Potter's, I formed this organization and I alone am responsible for its activities" Dumbledore stated calmly, protecting his student from blame.
"Dornish, Shakelbelt, you will escort Dumbledore to Azkaban" the Minister smirked with horrid glee before giving Dumbledore dirty look as the men known as Dornish and Shakelbelt moved forwards.
"Ah, I thought that we might hit this little snag" Dumbledore said holding up a finger to pause their movements before he stood from his desk and confidently walked up some stairs that led up to a balcony behind his desk so he could look over the group. "You seem to be under the delusion that I will, what's the saying? Come quietly? Well I can tell you this; I have no intension of going to Azkaban" he smiled mockingly down at the shocked Minister and his cronies, earning Kai's respect in that single sentence, before winking at Harry.
"Enough of this! Take him!" Umbridge screeches in her shrill voice, but as soon as she ordered this Dumbledore's pet phoenix flew above him as the headmaster claped his hands above his head and they both burst into flames; disappearing in a flash of light.
"Wow" Kai muttered in shock, he could hand it to the man; he had style.
x-x-x-x-x
Once being realised by Umbridge, Kai headed straight back to his room.
Stepping into their dorm Kai gave his team a quickly summery of the evening and to say they were shocked was an understatment "Dumbledore's on the run?…" Daichi asked quietly, making Kai believe he was in a state of shock.
Kai nodded from his seat on one of the chair in the lounge "It would seem so, and it looks as though Umbridge is going to be placed in charge of the school now" Kai sighed tiredly; it had been a tough day "And on top of that, I have detention for being part of 'Dumbledore's army' and to think the only reason I went along with it was because I wanted to become stronger" Kai said with a small pout, the whole thing had really been a waist of time; he had already become stronger due to Dranzer's awakening.
"What do you think she'll do with us?" Max questioned in a worried manner.
"I don't know" Kai sighed, Umbride knew the rest of his team was here for 'privet lessons' and that would most likely make her suspicious of them, she was also known for her hate for mud-bloods, creatures and muggles "We're going to have to convince her that you all come from some sort of pure-blood wizarding families who base their magic around an element" Kai suggested "We'll come up with something later, but right now; I'm gonna get some sleep" he stated, pulling himself from the chair he had been seated in and heading into his bedroom before taking off his long sleeved top and baggy cargo-pants leaving him in only his black boxes.
After a moment there was a knock at his bedroom door making Kai look up in annoyance from his place on the double bed "Come-in" he called loud enough so the person could hear him.
The door opened and Rei nervously popped his head in; hearing the slight growl in the others voice. Stepping in fully, Rei slowly approached the teen as if he was approaching a wild animal before sitting next to him "Kai, are you okay? Something seems to be bothering you…other than the events of today" Rei asked in a soft and concerned voice.
Kai sigh and looked Rei in his eyes tiredly "I can't tell you what it is other then it has to do with my father".
Rei nodded slowly, not fully understanding the full meaning behind the others words, but decided to continue anyway "I'm not going to pressure you, but if need to talk I'm here" he smiling down at him. Kai smiled weakly back and nodded his head while rubbing his arm. Blinking at the unusual movement Rei leaned closer and looked carefully at the others thin arm. Around the bicep was a large purplish bruise in the shape of a hand, growling lowly at this Rei begane to feel himself fill with rage 'Someone hurt my mate!' his instincts screamed but he forested it back and tried to talk to Kai calmly; hoping to get some answers.
"K-Kai. Where did you get that bruise on your arm?" when this was asked Kai looked down at his arm in surprise; he really hadn't expected it to bruise, especially not that badly.
"It must be from when Malfoy grabbed me. To think a wimp like him has such a strong grip" Kai muttered in recollection, but said the last bit to himself.
Rei's eye twitched "N-next time we see this 'Malfoy' can you point him out to me?" he asked sweetly.
Kai nodded with an innocent, not really clicking onto what Rei wanted to do to the other Slytherin "Alright but can you leave now? I'm going bed" he asked while getting under the sheets, the Neko nodded silently and left the room swearing that when he sees this Malfoy guy he would get revenge for his mate.
