Youkai no jinchuuriki Chapter 2: Eight years later, a Harry Potter + Naruto Crossover fanfic

[Disclaimer: I only own Kiri.

Welcome back, my faithful readers. Ireally hope that you review, it helps a lot to know what you think about this...]

~eight years later~

Kiri shot up on her bed as a bucket of ice cold water was dropped on her. She cursed loudly, as she was already aware that she's overslept. Ever since Harry left for Hogwarts, life was different at Privet Drive, 4. The Dursleys kept telling people that he was sent to a school for people with criminal tendencies and all the time Kiri felt like shouting out the truth, but none the less she understood that there were things normal people weren't supposed to know about and magic was one of them.

Sesshoumaru was proud of his student, though he would probably never admit it, even under torture. Most of the time he spent in his human form and when they went out people often asked if they were related and that made Kiri wonder about something she's been too busy to think about – her parents. Yet there was no suitable time to ask. When she woke up, she had only 15 minutes to get ready and when the training was over, she was too tired to think straight. Still when Sesshoumaru-shishou, as she now called him, declared that it was time to pay Dumbledore a visit, she knew it was the right moment.

- Ano, Sesshoumaru-shishou…

- Yes, Kiri? What is it?

- I've meant to ask you… who were my parents?

- What? You mean you don't know?

- No…

- Oh, God… I'm sorry, I thought they'd have at least the decency to tell you… Your father was a great man and the greatest hero of Konoha, he's also the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato.

- Wow… a hokage… makes sense… I think I'll try to become one too. What about my mother?

- Uzumaki Kushina was her name. She was a refugee from the Whirlpool hidden village that was destroyed in the Rock-Leaf was I told you about.

- The one during which my father was named the 'Yellow Flash of Konoha'?

- Yes, that's right. You also have a cousin.

- A cousin? Really? Who is he?

- Uzumaki Naruto, the vessel of the Kyubii, it's a secret that the villagers were forbidden to talk about.

- So he doesn't know?

- No, and you will not tell him either if you value your life. Now we must go. There isn't much time left. We have to do this and then we're off for Konoha, we have to make it in time for the gen-nin exams.

- Hay!!!

It was the middle of May and with the Dementors right outside the borders of Hogwarts, it was not very comfortable. Still Albus Dumbledore was sulking for an entirely different reason. It has been almost three years and he was still depressed because his plan backfired. He was unsure why the girl didn't come to Hogwarts, but Harry said that she showed no signs of magic and he believed his 'golden boy', who was actually not so golden, not that Dumbledore knew about it. Thus he was shocked when two figures appeared in front of him in a cloud of smoke. The headmaster of Hogwarts was perfectly aware, that only ninja were able to pass through anti-apparition wards, so he wondered, what were shinobi doing at Hogwarts. When the cloud disappeared, the old man quietly gasped, as his heart raced. There was the girl he stole from Konoha and the man next to her… he had no idea who he was, but the power he felt was simply too much for him to stand.

- Who are you? What do you want here?

- Only one thing. Answers.

- Oh? But I don't even know either of you.

- Really? This is Namikaze Kiri, I am Sesshoumaru no Inu. You stole us from Konoha 13 years ago. We'd like to know what gave you the idea that you had any right to do that?

- They didn't need her like we did, they would have killed her.

- Maybe, but you have no way of knowing that for sure.

- Well… it was for the greater good…

- Or for your own profit?

- A jinchuuriki is a powerful being…

- Know this, that if I hear of you one more time, I won't just kill you, I'll help Voldemort destroy you.

- You wouldn't…

- Do you want to find out?

- Not exactly…

- Then we understand each other.

- But… what if we require your help?

- Konoha doesn't help its' enemies and you've made yourself such when you kidnapped the daughter of the Fourth Hokage.

- The daughter of the fourth? No, it can't be.

- But it is. Now there is no more to say. We're leaving.

Hours later the headmaster of Hogwarts was still sitting in the same position, trying to figure out what went wrong, why did the girl decline the Hogwarts invitation, how did she find out about the demon sealed in her? After all he had no knowledge about shinobi seals and their properties. Shivers ran up his spines when he recalled the cold golden eyes of the youkai, Sesshoumaru and the blazing eyes of the girl. He vowed to never again get involved with ninja.

When Sesshoumaru announced that from now on he'll be in his dog form, Kiri wasn't very happy about it. Without even realizing it, she fell for her demon. She liked being around him, liked to train with him. Now was to become a member of a three-man gen-nin team under a jou-nin. She was excited to have friends, to get to know her cousin, but all the same She liked Sesshoumaru's human form.

Hayate and Genma who were on guard duty that day were pretty surprised to see a silver haired girl accompanied by a very huge white dog walk through the gates. She was definitely not from the village, though for some reason she seemed very familiar. Hayate called her over.

- Oi, come here, gaki!

- What? Is there something wrong?

- You can't just walk in like that.

- What should I do then. I don't really have a lot of time.

- Oh? You're in a hurry. Then, state your name and your business in the village.

- Ok, I'm Namikaze Kiri, age 13. Here to see the Hokage about becoming a leaf shinobi.

- Rank?

- About to become a gen-nin. I'd really like to make it to the exams.

- You're lucky. The exam starts tomorrow. The Hokage tower is over there, the big round one with the fire kanji on it. You can't miss it.

- Thank you. Good day to the two of you.

***

Kiri proceeded to the Hokage tower. The guard was right, the tower was indeed very hard to miss. She noticed that many of the villagers were staring at her as she went. She wondered what was wrong, yet didn't pay to it much, figuring they were curios about a newcomer.

The third Hokage of Konoha was staring at the portrait of a man who could only be Namikaze Minato, the fourth. Therefore he did notice the visitors at first. Kiri from her part saw her father's portrait for the first time, so she took her time studying it, before driving the attention to her.

- Hello, Hokage-sama, sorry for bothering you.

- Oh, no-no, it's ok. I believe you're not from around here. Can I help you with something?

- Yes, Hokage-sama, I believe you can. And also you have seen me, some 13 years ago. Watashi wa Namikaze Kiri, yoroshiku.

- Namikaze… Kiri… baka na…

- Why not?

- The child you speak of…

- The daughter of the fourth Hokage and the holder of the Sesshoumaru no Inu… yep, that's me. A man called Albus Dumbledore stole me the day father sealed Kyubii inside Naruto.

- Albus… no, it is impossible.

- He wanted to use me, or rather Sesshoumaru-shishou against lord Voldemort, he admitted it. Didn't even regret taking me away from home.

- So it really is you, but how do you know so much?

- Sesshoumaru told me about the events I mentioned and also taught me in the ways of ninja. So I am here to become a Konoha gen-nin.

- Well then, you'll have to take the exam tomorrow, classroom 3-D, then I'll assign you to a gen-nin team.

- Thank you, Hokage-sama.

As soon as she reached the place she was staying at, the huge dog became Sesshoumaru again. Seeing him Kiri smiled and hugged her youkai. At first he stiffened at the unexpected show of affection, but then the youkai chuckled lightly and hugged his sacrifice tenderly.

- Ok, as much as I like this, we should go over the material once again.

- Sesshoumaru-shishou, you're no fun.

- Yes, well, do you want to pass?

- But you already taught me all that stuff! You said that I would easily become a jou-nin or even a san-nin!

- What about the written test?

- It's about information gathering skills. I have the mental link to you.

- It may not always be enough!

- You're telling me that you won't help me?

- That's not what I meant.

- Then why should I worry?

- Well, what will happen if you're asked to do bunshin no jutsu.

- I can switch the seals and do cage bunshin instead.

- How the hell are you so sneaky?

- I learn from the best.

- You still have a way to go before you reach Kyubii, he's the best in that field?

- Right, could have guessed. After all he's a fox. Ok, let's revise. But then you'll help me with my shunshin.

- Ugh… this is getting troublesome. I'm so glad that you'll soon become a part of someone's team.

- What? You won't train me anymore?

- Come on, I can't teach you anything anymore. I've taught you all I know.

- Really? So am I as strong as you are?

- In jutsu knowledge, yes, but don't forget that experience is also worth a lot and there you'll never surpass me.

- By the way, just how old are you?

- Some 5000 give or take.

- Uso.

- Honto desu.

- You don't look like it.

That is only natural for my kind. Now I believe you were going to revise the material for tomorrow.
