Chapter Nine

Like all kunoichi, and their shinobi counterparts, Anko woke up instantly. And within seconds, she was glaring at Harry with as much killer intent to make S-class nin think twice. However Harry didn't react like most would as he blushed, ducked his head, and his hand came up to flatten his bangs over his forehead.

Shocked, the killer intent abruptly stopped, and Harry realized just exactly what he was doing. He was a little embarrassed to admit he felt like he was back at Hogwarts and caught wondering after dark; he blamed Snape. The silence settling into the room didn't help matters. That is until Anko remembered she was tied to a chair and the prisoner was armed and sitting across from her.

"So you think taking me as a hostage is going to help you." she snapped, starting to leak killer intent once again. "If you think this is-"

"Hold it a minute, your not a hostage!" Harry said quickly. He didn't want anyone to have the wrong idea.

"Then what the hell are the ropes for!" Anko yelled, she was really starting to get pissed. Harry blinked, he really had thought it was obvious.

"Those are so you don't hurt me. I really don't want to know what your idea of fun is." All at once her anger left her, mortification taking it's place. She was going to be hearing about this for weeks, there was no way her co-workers weren't watching, hell the Hokage might even be in the surveillance room right now.

Meanwhile, in the surveillance room, a slightly drunk Tsunade was laughing her ass off while Ibiki allowed himself a smirk. The snickers of the Chuunins manning the monitors were mostly subdued; after all if Anko found out they were laughing at her… well lets just say they didn't want to know Anko's idea of fun either.

Although they were laughing at a comrade, it was a welcome relief from the last hour of worry. When Anko had first been knocked unconscious, it had been a mad scramble to get her out of there. When all of their efforts had failed Ibiki had been willing to knock down the entire wall; it didn't help matters when Tsunade had been willing to be the one to do the honors. The only thing to stop them was the mention that knocking down the wall would bring the roof down on their heads; it being a support for the entire building an all.

"Could you please stop trying to flash me your cleavage!!" The annoyed voice coming from the speakers snapped everyone's attention to the screen. "I'll have you know I find nothing attractive about them." It was apparent what Anko had been trying to do, but like the first time around Harry had no interest in them. "If anything I'm embarrassed about your extreme lack of modesty."

Anko was stunned for a moment, her cleavage had made hard ass missing-nin pass out from blood loss more than once. The only time it didn't was that one time in Wind, but that guy had been… Anko's thought process halted and a wicked grin found it's way onto her face. "Oh Harry-chan, you should have told me in the first place, I would have called Ibiki back in so you could watch him strut his man goods." Harry, who had been blushing lightly from his mini-rant, turned bright red.

"No not Ibiki," Anko said with an expression of deep thought. "How about Gai then? I heard that you mmh-" Anko suddenly found she couldn't open her mouth, and with renewed anger started glaring at Harry again. Who she found to be sliding his wand into the holster he had returned on his forearm with as much dignity he could muster.

"I believe Anko-san, we are here to discuss how I ended up in that forest and what happened to Rock Lee, nether of which has anything to do with my sexual preferences." Harry said, face still red as a tomato. "But before I can really do that, I have to convince you of the existence of magic." At Anko's snort Harry looked back at her from where he had been looking determinedly somewhere off to his left.

His lips formed in a thin line, he removed his wand from it's holster saying, "That chair is rather uncomfortable, isn't it. Maybe I could…" Harry trailed off, idly giving his wand a wave and murmuring a few works. "There that should work. I'm famished, how about you?"

Anko opened her eyes, having closed them when Harry had first pulled out his wand, and stared. On the table before her was a tea set and a plate of dango, she also noted that the chair she was sitting on was no longer the unforgiving wooden torture device it once was. She wondered briefly if it was possible to steal it for her apartment, she was sure she could get it past Ibiki if she planned it right.

"I'm not quite sure what these are," Harry said, hold a skewer of dumplings in front of his face. "All I used was a spell to conjure a snack that works mostly by cravings. Must have been an impulse left over from Lee." She watched as Harry bit off one, chewed slowly and swallowed, and smiled before looking form the snack to her. "By all means, help yourself."

Anko realized she was no longer tied to the chair, and was half way across the table when she was jerked but, ropes securing her to the chair once again. Dumbfounded, she looked back at Harry; who was calmly sipping his tea, pinkie extended and legs crossed at the knee. "Now now Anko-san, there is no need to attack me. The ropes will be gone when you relax and stop trying to assault me." The look Anko shot him could have melted the skin of his bones.

Harry, who looked calm as you please, set his tea cup down and waved his wand again; releasing the spell keeping Anko silent. "Now Anko-san, tell me what I need to do to convince you, and anyone else who is watching, that I am indeed an honest to Merlin, Wizard. Magic potions, and wand included."

"Remove my cursed seal." Anko blurted out without thinking. She remembered years ago over hearing a med-nin say only magic would ever be able to get rid of it. It had been said sarcastically, and the med-nin had been punished by the Sandaime for saying it within her hearing range.

"Where was it placed?" Anko snapped out of memory lane at hearing him in right in front of her, and answered with out thinking, again.

"On my left side, were the neck meets the shoulder." As Harry moved the collar of her coat and studied the seal, she realized she was no longer tied. She bravely entertained the thought of attacking him but the phantom sensation of ropes stopped her.

Harry studied to seal carefully, the feelings coming off of it were in no way nice and fluffy. The quick diagnostic spell he used confirmed his suspicions. The Cursed Seal of Heaven was a basic seal by magic standards. Meaning the only thing sacrificed in it's creation was the magic, or chakra in this case, used to create it. His scans showed it had two main purposes; the first was similar to the Dark Mark, connecting the person to the creator. This one seemed to relay on close distance to work, no more than a mile or that function would be useless. The second was to leech and store chakra along with a compulsion to use it; this being dangerous because it had no set limit.

It was weak, relaying on the feelings of the bearer, and Anko's distain for it's creator seemed the only thing holding it back from removing all of her chakra. Also the fact that it was placed while she was still in her developing years added to it, the seal requiring maintenance for maximum effect. It would be a simple matter to remove, all he would have to do remove were it was latched onto her chakra.

"I can remove it Anko-san, but I warn you that it will just as painful as when it was applied. Also I'll need you to drink a potion so you don't go into shock once it's removed." Harry said stepping away from her to dig through his box of goodies. The potion he was talking about was used on those who had had a dark spell placed on them that suppressed their magic. Which had been a common practice with Dark Lords and their followers when it became their fancy to use muggleborns as slaves.

Anko felt a completely unwelcome surge of hope, but at the mention of a potion she felt her suspicions rising. "Why the hell should I believe you?" She said before she could stop herself.

"I have no idea, only that I haven't intentionally harmed any one since I got here. But if you don't take this potion now I'll have to force it down your throat once the magic stops. I really don't want to have to do that." Harry answered while holding the light blue potion out to her.

Anko looked from the potion to Harry's face, and swallowing her pride and training took the vial from him. Downing it in a single gulp, knowing that she would be yelled at by Ibiki later, Anko let her hope over rule all of her common sense.

The spell hit with hardly any warning, and Anko was about to make a comment about a lack of pain, when it hit her like a tsunami. The pain was intense and no nerve ending was spared. She vaguely realized she was screaming, and tears were running down her face. Then something snapped and the pain stopped.

Now curled up, not unlike years before, she felt lighter than she ever had been. Like she was waking up for the first time in years, her mind lifted from the fog that had clouded since that day in the Sea Country. She didn't need to ask if it had worked, she no longer felt the taint of her sensei eating away at her.

"Here, this should help with your throat." Harry said, holding up a lightly steaming cup of tea. Anko took it and sipped absentmindedly, he was right it did help. With her throat and snapping out of her daze. "So, do you believe me now." She nodded. "Good." And Harry started to explain.

"I ended up in that forest because my portkey was hit by an unknown dark curse. When Rock Lee and his team appeared my magic reacted to defend myself, he was unfortunate enough to have dormant magic. My magic reacted and tried to form something close to a mentor bond, something that shouldn't have happened." Harry paused, collecting his thoughts. Anko let him, still sipping calmly at her tea.

"According to Maito Gai, Lee's magic is no longer dormant." Anko nodded, having been filled in on the Neji incident. He was no longer unconscious, and nothing seemed to be wrong. He was just pissed that team practice was canceled until the Godaime figured out what was wrong with Lee. "I can't seal away Lee's magic, doing so would involve dark magic I refuse to touch."

"What can you do?" Anko asked lightly.

"I can teach him to control it. I imagine by now he thinks it's a curse, and this isn't going to be something easy to do."

"Lee isn't the only one you have to convince. You have to convince Hokage-sama you aren't a threat, and Gai-sensei to allow you to teach his student."

"I could swear an Unbreakable Vow not to harm Konoha or it's people."

"How is that going to help?" Anko asked, breaking the light tone the conversation had taken.

"The consequence for breaking it is death. If she believes me, what kind of security would I be under?" Harry asked, it was all business now.

"You would most likely become a ward to one of the Jounin, likely some one neutral. Your lesson's with Lee would be supervised." Harry nodded, he was expecting that much. "I should go talk to Hokage-sama, is the door still locked."

"Only from the outside." Anko nodded, her throat still slightly sore.

Her hand on the door knob she turned her head and said, "I'll see what I can do, but don't expect anything." Harry didn't say a word, back to calmly sipping his tea. Only the soft click of the door told him she had left.

A/N: Sorry for the long wait. My muse took a vacation. But he's back and asked that you vote in my poll for what animal Lee should be. Your input would be very helpful. Until next time, Happy Reading.
