Chapter Ten
Harry could hardly believe were he was, crammed into a self-made tiny bedroom at one Hatake Kakashi's apartment. The strange gray haired man who wore a mask was now in charge of him; he didn't really know what to think of the man. He wore what seemed to be the standard ninja ware with the head-band covering one eye and always seemed to be reading a small orange book. Harry had caught a few words from it and had blushed scarlet. Sometimes he hated his luck, now he was stuck with a pervert.
Flashback
"I, Harry James Potter, swear an Unbreakable Vow to never intentionally cause harm to Konohagakure no Sato or it's allied countries, nor to any of it's people; unless in the case of self-defense. So mote it be.""So mote it be." Tsunade echoed, showing her agreement. The second the words left her mouth a ribbon of flame circled their clasped hands, sealing the vow. The witness, the only other person with active magic in the village, jumped slightly; not really expecting the flame's.
Lee had been warned, but the last hour had been a confusing discussion about him he hadn't really been apart of. The conversation hadn't started out about him of course; no it had started out with Potter-san explaining a world of magic. I child's dream, you could say, or nightmare; depending on what part of the story he was on.
Ever since that day in the forest his life had been confusing, the strange not chakra seemed to enjoy making appearances when he lest wanted it to. In the last week he had had things hurled at him, disappeared and reappeared in places more than a mile away, his favorite cup he had accidentally broken had repaired its self, and of course the Neji incident. And that was only naming the most startling things, it was the less noticeable things that almost made him think he was going crazy; he would have sworn that that door had been locked.
"Is that agreeable with you?" Lee snapped out of Memory Lane.
"Hai Hokage-sama." Lee's head snapped to the window at the sound of his sensei's Eternal Rival. "I can have Pakkun watch him if I need to leave for a mission." Hatake Kakashi said without looking up from his book. Lee remembered from when he was a fresh Gennin, thinking that there was no way this man could ever match up to his sensei. When he had first voiced his thought his sensei had been quick to disillusion him, saying Kakashi took underneath the underneath to a whole different level. He hadn't taken his sensei's words to heart until witnessing them fight side by side during the Sound-Sand invasion.
"Gai-sensei, are you in agreement with Lee's new lesson times?"
"Hai Hokage-sama, I don't see a problem with the time. As Lee's team leader I request permission to over see these lessons." Gai's speech lacked it's usual flavor.
"Permission granted." It was only a small comfort to Lee, who felt like his whole ninja way was crumbling before him. It had been his goal since the forming of Team Gai to prove that he didn't need anything but taijutsu to be a great shinobi. Now he was going to be learning magic, he wasn't at all happy with it.
"Now Potter-san, I would like to know what you will be teaching my student." Gai said, with some of his usual exuberance. Harry thought for a moment before answering.
"Before I can set any sort of lesson plan, I need to confirm my theory of chakra and magic. Working with Anko's seal has given me an idea, I just need to see if it applies to other shinobi arts." Harry was certain of his theory, it was based on the theory of muggles performing magic like acts when under extreme stress.
"How do you plan to confirm your theory?" Tsunade's voice held an undercurrent of suspicion.
"I would need to see chakra in use." At Tsunades look of displeasure he quickly added. "Only something basic, something taught to beginners to chakra use. It could also explain why Lee unconsciously sealed away his magic." Harry relaxed slightly when the suspicion faded some what.
"I'll have you talk with one of our academy instructors." She paused, "Umino Iruka should do nicely." Tsunade took a quick look around the room. "If that's everything," collectively they nodded. "Your dismissed, Potter-san I want you back here at noon tomorrow to meet with Iruka-sensei. Kakashi-sensei, I expect him to be here on time tomorrow."
Kakashi only looked up briefly from his book, before motioning for Harry to follow him. Harry hesitated for a moment before following. He had wanted to talk to Lee about lessons, but he had looked upset enough about the whole thing. With a mental sigh, Harry made his way to his new temporary home.
It had been a simple matter to set up a room that had been a closet when he first stepped into the apartment. The slight widening of Kakashi's eye had kept Harry amused for a good few hours. When he had first asked Kakashi if he had an unused closet and then proceeded to expand the inside, Kakashi had walked around his apartment to see were the space had come from. When Harry had added a window like the one's found at the Ministry, his host had looked at the façade of the building for a new window.
After finding none Kakashi had badgered Harry with questions. It had been amusing for a while watching the aloof man acting like a little kid. So Harry had answered his questions, throwing in a few sarcastic remarks about showing up on time. Harry had been quite startled during the meeting when Kakashi had shown up in a swirl of leaves right in front of him. He had been explaining the workings of an Unbreakable Vow, and the only thing that had stopped Harry from stunning the man had been Gai's hand on his shoulder. Good thing too, because these people still didn't trust him; Harry was only thankful they didn't ask for his wand.
End Flashback
Harry's musings of the last five hours of his life where cut off when there was a knock on Kakashi's door, followed by:
"Oh, Harry-chaaaaaaaan." With a sigh Harry left his futon, he had a feeling Anko wasn't some one you wanted to ignore.
"Hello, Anko-san." Harry said, leaning on the doorframe arms crossed. Anko just blinked at him before turning to Kakashi.
"Isn't that your closet." At his nod, a grin spread across her face and she snickered. "Now now Harry-chan, I though you were already out of the closet." Harry rolled his eyes.
"Really clever of you to remember, Anko-san, but I believe I've already made it clear that my preferences were something not to discuss." Harry looked at her over his recovered glasses. "Unless of course you want me to use that clever little charm I used last time you brought it up?" Anko pouted before brightening up.
"Come on Harry-chan, I'm taking you out drinking!" She said while grabbing his arm, and tugging him towards the door.
"Why?" Harry's voice was flat.
"To celebrate you being allowed to stay in Konoha of course!" The tugging on his arm became more insistent.
"I don't think I'm allowed to go any where without-" Harry cut himself off. Standing by the door was Kakashi, sandals on and reading his book. Damn, he had been hoping to use him as an excuse not to go. He had never been a big drinker, and Anko didn't strike him as some one who drank sparsely.
Realizing it would be pointless to put up an argument, Harry sighed. Taking his arm back from Anko, saying "Just let me grab something." and walking back into his closet room. It wasn't long before he was back to following Anko and Kakashi out the door, stopping only to slip on his boots.
The night was a bright one, with an almost full moon and not a cloud in sight. Harry looked around himself, absorbing the clearly different culture. He almost felt like he had on his eleventh birthday, thrust into a strange world. But he was smarter than he had been at eleven, and planned to find out as much as he could about daily life in this Hidden Village.
"So Harry-chan, what did you have to grab?" Anko asked while wrapping her arms around his shoulders, speaking directly into his ear. Harry blushed, some rather intimate parts of her anatomy were pressed against his back. The trespass of his personal space was something else he was sure he would have to get used to with Anko.
"A sobering/hangover potion. If I end up passed out in an ally somewhere I don't want to try and find Kakashi's apartment with a hangover." He answered while shrugging her off. He couldn't remember all of the times he had been called because some drunk with issues decided to curse people. Thank Merlin drunk wizards had terrible aim, he knew basic healing but anything serious and the poor bastard who got in the way would have had to be flooed to St. Mungo's.
"Kakashi-kun, Harry-chan doesn't trust us." Anko whined. Kakashi just shrugged, never looking away from his book.
"It's not that I don't trust you, I just don't trust who ever else might be there." he wasn't joking either. "By the way, where are we going." Harry was a little bewildered. They had already passed several bars, all of which seemed like likely places Anko would haunt.
"The Rusty Kunai." Kakashi spoke up for the first time. "It's a shinobi bar." Harry blinked, and asked without thinking:
"What's the difference?"
"Their insurance." Anko's cheerful voice said. Harry detected a sadist undertone and wondered if it was to late to flee back to his closet. It was; as it appeared they where there.
The building in front of him was filled with both shinobi and kunoichi, all of them in different states of drunkenness. As Anko pulled him under the little cloth flaps that served as a divider to the bar and the street, almost every one turned their head to them. Most of them looked away after a glance, but a group in the back called out greetings. And as Anko dragged him to their table, Kakashi slinking in behind them, Harry resigned himself to a long night.
