CHAPTER 2

A seven-year-old Harry whistled a soft tune as he made breakfast. Whistling always calmed Harry down when something big was on his mind especially when he was Gohan. Harry's mind was swamped with a little dread and some excitement at what is going to happen in a few days... The World's Martial Arts Tournament.

A lot has happened in the past six years. In appearance the merge hadn't changed Harry much from before Voldemort's attack. It was the accident when he turned two that changed his appearance. The merge let him keep Lily's green eyes; the only difference was that his unkempt black hair he inherited from James seemed to defy gravity even more.

Harry knew that having two names would be very confusing to not only him but to anyone else who might find out his secret. Since people only know of him as Harry he decided to just stick with that name. Why cause unnecessary problems over a name anyway. Half of Harry's blood came from Lily and James. The other half changed into saiyan blood or at least that is what Harry hypothesized because his tail had grown back a week before his 2nd birthday.

Luckily it grew back when he was alone so he was able to hide it. Sadly it didn't take much effort to hide it from Lily and James since they have been ignoring him in favor of Jonas ever since he could walk properly. Which was a month after Voldemort's attack. Also during that month, Harry had overheard a conversation between James and Lily. Apparently Peter Pettigrew, a trusted friend, betrayed the Potter's and gave out their location to Voldemort. Peter was captured by Aurors and was placed in Azcaban, a wizard jail. It is said that the slimy rat was still alive. Harry found out about the marauders, their anigmous forms and a lot of other secrets from his father.

Harry frowned he wasn't one to hate people, but people like Peter sicken him. Betraying ones friends just to save ones own hide is low. Luckily his father is dedicated and loyal to his friends unless said friends betray or hurt him and his family. If one had his father as an enemy they better sleep with their eyes open because Harry's father is ruthless when it comes to protecting what is precious to him.

Harry eyes softened as he thought of his father. His father has been there for him through thick and thin. He was there when everyone else ignored him. Gave Harry attention and comforted Harry when he was lonely or scared. He did everything a father would or should do for their child. Harry felt safe and secure whenever he was around his father.

The thing he loved best about his father is that Harry didn't have to keep any secrets from him. Harry told his father everything after the incident that occurred when Harry turned two. Instead of being shunned or sent to a mental hospital his father understood…of course that could have been because Supreme Kai decided to meet his father face to face. Heh his father almost peed his pants when he realized who he was talking to him.

Speaking of his father, Harry could hear soft shuffling of feet coming down the stairs and into the kitchen. Harry knew that his father was trying to sneak up on him and it would have probably worked if Harry were a normal kid. Alas young Harry wasn't normal or even fully human for that matter.

"Morning Dad!" Harry stated cheerfully not even glancing behind him. Harry heard his father sigh in defeat and could only imagine the look on his father's face at being caught again.

Harry felt his father ruffle his hair with a grin. "Good morning cub, one of these days I will get you."

Harry just rolled his eyes, "Whatever you say Moony."

Yes Remus is his father. Remus adopted Harry when Harry was two. James and Lily wanted to get rid of Harry for various reasons. As a front they told the wizarding world that it is too difficult to give the right amount of attention to Jonas and to take care of another child at the same time. Sadly most of the wizarding world were fools so they accepted the reason without a second thought. Some went as far as giving ideas to the Potters on how to get rid of Harry.

The real reasons why the Potters were willing to get rid of Harry made Remus's blood boil. The Potters found out about Harry's ability to talk to snakes and about the incident. Both had caused the Potters to believe that Harry was an evil dark wizard in the making. To Remus that was bloody ridiculous accusing their own son of being a dark wizard just because he has abilities deemed as dark. It wasn't like Harry asked to be a parselmouth or the incident to occur. Add on to the fact he was only TWO at the time.

The day the Potters found out about Harry's ability to talk to snakes was a few days before Harry turned two. Lily found Harry in the family garden…talking to a snake. With fear in her eyes at the prospect of having a dark wizard as her child she got James. Together they punished Harry by locking him in his room for the night without supper and forbade him from talking to snakes.

Now this wasn't the main reason for them to put Harry up for adoption, no it was the incident that was the final straw. Remus remembered that night very well. It was the night Harry was kidnapped and changed. It was also the night Remus promised to protect his cub to the best of his abilities. It was the night he learned the truth about Harry and that dreadful night a year before.

FLASHBACK

It was when Harry and Jonas turned two. The Potters decided to have a birthday bash in the park and later that night set off some muggle fireworks. Sad thing was almost everyone that came only brought a present for Jonas and forgot about little Harry. The only people that seemed to remember were Remus, Sirius, and Hagrid. Not even James and Lily seemed to have remembered.

Even though the three were giving Harry attention, they eventually were pulled into conversations with other adults or were saying Happy Birthday to Jonas. This left Harry to wander off deeper into the park and away from the festivity. Harry wanted to find a quiet place to relax and plan his training regime for the future. Since he was going to get the bracelet tonight from Supreme Kai.

Harry realized a year ago, that even though he had all the power from when he died. Actually Harry had felt that he was stronger in ki than before, his body was still that of a baby. He needed to retrain his body to be able to use his ki without damaging his body. In the past year, Harry learned how to walk properly and began to build up his endurance by running. But that's all he could do in terms of physical strength until he got the bracelet.

So Harry decided to train his mind during that year. All that training Piccolo gave him helped a lot. His mental shields and other abilities were getting stronger by each passing day.

Harry was brought out of his thoughts when he came into a clearing. He looked around and spotted nobody. Content with that he went over to a tree and sat down lost in thought.

Remus started saying goodbye to everyone since the sun was starting to go down. As much as he would have loved to watch the fireworks it was going to be a full moon tonight. He was about finished saying his goodbyes the last being to Harry when he noticed Harry wasn't around.

With a worried frown Remus asked around if anyone saw Harry and was given a negative. Remus began to panic and ran over to his best friend. Sirius was attempting to flirt with a beautiful young woman when Remus came over and started shaking Sirius's shoulders hysterically.

"Remus what are you still doing here? I thought you were leaving?" Sirius asked confused.

"I was but…I can't find Harry!" Remus nearly screamed.

"What? Where is he?" Sirius demanded. Now he knew why Remus was being so frantic. Remus cared for Harry deeply and tried to be there for Harry like a father. Which Harry needed considering his own blood father ignores him. Sirius growled at that thought. He loves James like a brother but Sirius is really disappointed in the way James and Lily were acting towards Harry.

"I don't know that's why I am asking you."

Sirius grabbed a hold of Remus's arms firmly and gently removed them from his shoulders. He didn't need Remus to shake him like a rag doll not because Sirius was afraid to lose brain cells but because it looks rather embarrassing in front of the woman he is trying to whew.

Standing Sirius guided Remus away from the party but not before giving the girl he was flirting with a wink. The girl just rolled her eyes at Sirius.

"Remus you know Harry better than anyone. Where do you think he might go?" Sirius asked.

Remus thought for a second before his face brightened in realization. "Harry isn't one for crowds so he must of found somewhere else to go."

Sirius nodded to a path that leads further into the park. "Let's go this way and quickly before the sun goes down."

Remus nodded and followed. A few minutes later they came into a clearing and let out a sigh of relief. Harry was sitting calmly beneath a tree on the opposite side of the clearing from where they were. What made Sirius and Remus stop in shock was a little bird that was comfortably perched on Harry's shoulder and a squirrel that was sitting beside Harry near his right hand.

"Harry." Remus said with a wave as he and Sirius made their way to Harry. Harry looked up and smiled warmly, he muttered something to the bird and squirrel that made them scurry off. Harry then stood and calmly dusted himself off and was about to walk towards Remus and Sirius when he was suddenly hit in the side by a spell. The last thing Harry saw before blacking out were the shocked and fearful faces of Sirius and Remus that screamed out his name simultaneously.

Remus and Sirius watched in horror as the spell hit Harry. A figure covered in a hood sprang out from the bushes where the spell was cast from and grabbed Harry before dashing off.

"Harry!" screamed out Remus about to run after the hooded figure. Sirius grabbed his arm forcing him to stop his pursuit. "Let go Padfoot." Growled Remus. "I need to go save Harry."

"But Mooney its almost dark out by the time we find Harry the moon will be out. It will be better if you go back and tell the others and then go home. While you tell them I will go find Harry." Grabbing Remus shoulders reassuringly Sirius spoke softly, "Don't worry we'll get him back." Remus's head was bowed so Sirius couldn't see his face but he did feel Remus's shoulder sag.

Thinking that Remus understood Sirius was unprepared when Remus grabbed his wrists painfully. With a growl Remus glared at Sirius with tinted gold eyes. "I don't care if the moon comes out and I change. I don't care if some foolish person gets hurt or killed by me. All I care about is getting MY CUB BACK!" He shoved Sirius roughly to the ground. "YOU can go and get the others but I am going after the ignorant flesh bag that had the gall to kidnap my cub." Remus then turned and ran in the direction of the kidnapper leaving Sirius to sit on the ground in shock.

Sirius knew that Remus gets a little edgy and rude when it's close to a full moon but he usually controls his temper quite well so hardly anyone except close friends would notice.

But obviously Harry's kidnapping affected Remus enough for him to forgo keeping his temper in check and instead find Harry at all costs. Even if innocent bystanders are at risk. This is what shocked Sirius because usually the fear of someone getting hurt by his werewolf side causes Remus to make sure he was in a place where no one can be harmed.

With a sigh Sirius got up from the ground and ran to where the party was to get help. Though in his mind he knew that Remus would be able to find and hopefully save Harry on his own. Sirius gave a silent prayer to the poor idiot that had taken Harry. They were going to need it.

Remus sniffed the air and growled he was close. Remus looked around carefully the full moon was out; the chase had lead him out of the park boundaries and into the woods. The transformed Remus had only one thing on his mind getting his cub back at any cost! One of the good things about being a werewolf was his heightened sense. He was using his sense of smell to track down Harry's uniquely blended smell of monkey and human. There was also a familiar smell mixed with Harry's that sent Remus's wolf side mad.

The kidnapper was a werewolf.

Hold on cub I'm coming Remus thought with growl.

The kidnapping werewolf placed the feverish form of Harry on the floor of the cabin.

The werewolf that had captured Harry, hadn't been a werewolf very long when he had joined Voldemort. So Voldemort was able to sway the werewolf to his side because of the vulnerability caused by that fact. The werewolf wanted to turn Harry and then raise Harry to hate the Potters and then kill them. What he didn't expect was after biting Harry, A VERY enraged werewolf Remus barged in and at seeing the unconscious form of Harry sweating with what looked to be a fever and a pair of bite marks. Remus knew what had happened and killed the werewolf for daring to harm and turn HIS cub.

Yes HIS cub, werewolf Remus had become fond of Harry. There was just something about Harry that made the werewolf in Remus at peace. This caused the werewolf to become very protective of Harry because the werewolf loved the peaceful feeling he got when he was around Harry. Harry is his cub and NOTHING will harm Harry if werewolf Remus had anything to say about it.

After making sure the foolish werewolf was dead Remus went over to Harry who had begun to transform. Brown hair started to cover Harry's body and Harry's green eyes snapped open and started to become feral. Teeth began to sharpen and claws began to sprout. Harry's clothes started to rip and shred as this transformation occurred.

When it ended in its place was a chibi looking werewolf with feral green eyes. The feral look faded and in its place was a calculating look. Harry was able to control the transformation thanks to the memories of a training session Gohan had with Vegeta. Gohan had asked Vegeta how he was able to control his ape form without going berserk. Vegeta revealed that the person had to confront their inner beast and accept it. Then the beast and person will merge, therefore allowing control.

With that in mind werewolf Harry looked around. Then he looked up into the eyes of a werewolf who he knew was Remus just from his ki. Harry knew Remus would not hurt him because Remus had been more of a father figure the past year than James. Remus was always there for Harry taking care of him whenever Harry's parents ignore him. Which was becoming more frequent.

Harry lifted his furry arms up in a gesture that he wanted to be picked up. Remus immediately picked up the chibi werewolf and hugged Harry. Harry hugged back glad to have someone save him.

END FLASHBACK

They stayed in the cabin that night, curled up next to each other. That night Harry met not only the Supreme Kai in his mindscape but Remus as well. After some explaining from the Kai which just the mere thought of seeing a Kai made Remus almost wet himself, they found out a lot.

Harry was given his bracelet that night and Remus found out the truth. All three of them learned that Harry being bitten caused some unforeseen effects.

Never before had the Kai seen a hybrid be bitten by a werewolf let alone a saiyan hybrid. From what the Kai could sense and see the werewolf genes and the saiyan genes somehow merged. Instead of a monkey tail Harry now had a wolf tail. His hair turned brown but was still as spiky as ever and he retained Lily's green eyes. As the years passed from that day, Harry learned even more of the side effects. Silver didn't affect him, his senses were heightened in both forms(werewolf form more so), able to use ki in both forms without much problem, he only transforms if he looks at a full moon, and he can change how big he is at will in his werewolf form.

Harry took out plates from the cupboard and started to fill them up with tons of food. One plate had a noticeably bigger amount of food than the other. Harry walked over to the table where his father sat reading the paper. Placing the plate with less food in front of his father, he sat down and began munching on his own food.

Remus glanced up from reading the paper for a moment and shook his head. One thing that didn't change from the accident was Harry's appetite.

A FEW DAYS LATER

Laughter and smiles were heard and seen as people walked around the festival. Children ran around with carefree smiles. Adults smiling at the prospect of having a day off and the tournament that is afoot. Today is the World's Martial Arts Tournament.

Green eyes look out of scraggily brown hair to stare at a group of people. The group ignores or is oblivious to the stare as they continue to laugh and talk. Green eyes close and a sigh of sadness left the mouth of the owner. A hand was placed on the shoulder of the person with the green eyes. Said eyes followed the hand up until they were met with reassuring brown eyes.

"I know you can do this cub. Remember I am going to be right here with you."

Harry's green eyes softened and his body relaxed. With a small smile he murmured, "Thank you Remus."

Remus responded with a light squeeze to Harry's shoulder and then turned his attention to the group that caused his cub so much worry. If anyone in that group hurts his cub in any way they were going to regret it. Remus doesn't care if most of them in that group are stronger than him. Pay back doesn't have to always be a straight-forward fist fight, with a few choice words and a wave of his hand he can make them regret it.

Yes, Remus knew how to do wandless magic, as does Harry. These past five years Remus and Harry not only trained physically and mentally but also magically. Remus taught Harry about magic, while Harry taught Remus about ki and creating mental barriers to protect his mind. They both helped push each other to new limits. Harry was by far better than Remus in all three aspects but Remus didn't mind. Not to say Remus was weak, because he wasn't.

Compared to humans he is very strong. If Harry had to guess Remus could give the human z-fighters a run for their money. Remus is quite deadly with the mixture of magic and martial arts.

The training to get this strong was very difficult, some days Remus wanted to drop to the ground and just lay there for eternity but he never did. He continued until the given break times and he is glad he never gave up. Not only is he strong physically and magically. He can now control his werewolf form when he transforms because of his mental training.

The first thing he did, with Harry's guidance, was accepting his werewolf side and merging with it. That merge changed his appearance to what it is today. Remus's hair was still brown but his eyes have a golden tint to them. His face is nicely shaved. The greatest thing about the merge was that Remus's hair won't gray prematurely from the stress of being a werewolf since he can control it now.

As Remus glanced down at Harry again he sighed. Harry, he is starting to learn, is going to become the new reason Remus is going to gray prematurely. Remus knew Harry was going to get in loads of trouble in the times to come starting today.

Harry had his own set of thoughts when he looked at the group filled with his old family and friends when he was Gohan.

When Supreme Kai had contacted Harry about where Harry needed to be to help fight the evil wizard Babidi. Harry was expecting it to be at some hidden location or in the middle of nowhere. What he was told shocked him. Supreme Kai wanted him to go to a tournament and enter in the children division. Not just any tournament but the World's Martial Arts Tournament.

That meant that he will surely bump into his old friends and family (Said people were not far from him at the moment). There was a dreaded feeling that when he actually meets them it won't turn out pretty. Hopefully they will not recognize him not only because he was wearing the bracelet but also from his appearance.

Maybe he can complete this favor to the Kai without being revealed.

Harry snorted knowing his luck that won't happen.
