Pen-Pen: Wa-rk. War rrk warrk ark wwaaarrk Arrkkk wa? (Ah-ya. Did you forget how perverted Hinata is?)
Steve: Nope, just don't care. (sees Hinata begining to stir.) Ah, so sleeping beauty awakes. Bwa ha ha ha!
Hinata: Er, (slowly moves away) How about we do the disclaimer?
Unit-01: Sounds good.
Pen-Pen: (Wark Wa WAAK arrk waark)
Hinata: Translation is "The author doesn't own Harry Potter or Naruto". He just owns this story, the plot and his insane plot-bunnies.

Kyubi is currently sitting down on her favorite chair enjoying one of her many mystery novels (in this case "The Hound of the Baskervilles"). Two hands suddenly block her eyes as she turns a page causing her to jump. A few seconds later the voice of her boyfriend reaches her ears. "Guess who?" A moment later he's on the ground nursing a bump she gave him when she whacked him with her book. "Itai! What was that for Kyubi-chan?" She mearly huffs indignitly.
"That was for scaring me. You know that sometimes I get so into a story that I ignore everything else!" She softly smiles as she feels Naruto hugging her from behind.
"Aw. I'm sorry Kyubi-chan… Can you ever forgive me?" Kyubi simply smirks.
"Hm, maybe. But you have to do something for me first." Kyubi the turns around and leans down before giving him a slow kiss. A few minutes later, she pulls away. "Well, I think that would do it." Finally noticing that Naruto is dressed up she can't help but feel curious (if your wondering, Naruto has on a black silk shirt with blue flames on the bottom, a black muscle shirt, and khaki pants). "What's the occasion Naruto-kun?" Naruto only chuckles.
"I'm taking a beautiful woman out on a date today." He blinks at how Kyubi responds.
"Really. Who is it. Hinata right? Of course, she has been after you for a while… not that I mind of course." Naruto begins to sweat-drop at his girlfriends forgetfulness.
'Did she really forget? Then again…' Sighing he simply points at her. "I'm taking my beautiful Yoko-Hime (Mystic fox princess) out today." Kyubi began to squeal and jump.
"You mean that's today?" Seeing Naruto nod she squeals again until a thought comes to her. "Oh no! I got to get ready!" And with that rushes off in front of a amused Naruto who shakes his head and sits down to read a newspaper while waiting… which isn't for long, for ten minutes later Kyubi rushes in and his breath hitches in his throat. For Kyubi is wearing red tank-top, black jeans, and has her hair done in a ponytail. She's also wearing a locket with a fox on it around her neck. Blushing somewhat demurely, Kyubi give him a soft smile. "Well? How do I look? Oh, wait!" She closes her eyes, before her ears and tails begin to glow. After a few moments her eyes open revealing that they now have a round pupil, not a slit one. Her tails are also gone with her ears those of a human. "Well?"
"If I thought that you were a princess before… now your simply a goddess." Naruto tells her breathlessly. Suddenly, Naruto jerks as he remembers something. He pulls out a vial filled with pills and is about to take one when he notices Kyubi staring. "Sorry Kyubi-chan, this is a surprise. Could you please close your eyes." Looking at him suspiciously, she nods and does so.
'I wonder what kind of surprise it is…' She listens closely as she hears Naruto swallow something, then a puffing sound. A few seconds later she feels two strong arms encircle her waist. She tenses until she hears a familiar, but deeper, voice.
"Mah, Kyubi-chan… No need to tense up, it's only me." Opening her eyes, she's greeted with the sight of a seventeen year old Naruto. She works her jaw for a bit until she can finally get a sound out.
"Naruto-kun? Is that really you?" Seeing the man before her nod she begins to poke and prod only to stop at his deep chuckle. "How?"
"Remember those pills Kyubi-chan?" She nods. "Well, their a special kind of magic pills that increase a persons age… temporarily of course." He hastens to add at the slight panicked look on her face. "I thought that for our date we should be closer in age, at least physically, so that you don't have to deal with any… problems." Her reply is to smack him in the chest. "Itai, that hurt Kyubi-chan." Naruto states with playful pout. Kyubi just smacks him again.
"You should know that I don't care what others think. There's only one who matters, and he's standing before me." she smiles at him, her whole face lighting up. "I do appreciate the thought though. Thanks." Kyubi them slips her arm into Naruto's as they begin to walk to the door. "So where are we going?" Naruto scratches his neck before answering.
"Well, I was thinking that we could go to Nii-san's world. There's a country fair we could try. After that since you like shopping maybe a quick trip to Diagon alley and that flea market we sometimes go to followed by a quick meal. Then the movies!" Naruto exclaims excitedly causing Kyubi to giggle. "Finally… well, you'll have to wait and see. Hedwig!" Ignoring Kyubi's inquisitive face (as hard as it was) he stretches his arm out to allow Hedwig to land on it. Then in a blur of snow they vanish.
00000000 Outside a fair ground 0000000
Kyubi and Naruto arrive in a cloud of swirling snow a thicket of woods beside a road. From nearby a song is playing. Shaking his head Naruto turns to Kyubi who's staring at the nearby flora trying to figure out where they are. Turning to him she asks him where they are, to which her only answer is a deep chuckle. Taking a deep breath, Naruto sighs in the slightly crisp air. "Kami, I love spring." Watching Kyubi get annoyed with him brings a smile to his face causing Kyubi to huff.
"Well I'm glad someone's enjoying himself." Kyubi regains her smile as she feels his arm give her waist a quick squeeze.
"Sorry Kyubi-chan-" Kyubi interrupts him.
"No. Not Kyubi-chan. You know what your to call me here." His reply sends a shiver down her back as his arms encircle her waist.
"Sorry… Amakirr." With that he nuzzles the side of her neck sending shivers down her back. "You're just too cute when your angry." Kyubi just stutters a bit.
"Na… Naruto-kun, please! I can't think when you do that." Naruto chuckles a bit.
"Well I should hope not! Anyways, we should probably get moving. We have things to do after all… Regardless if I wouldn't mind doing this all day." And with that he lets her go before running (at a normal human speed) with Kyubi in pursuit. After a few minutes they reached the gate, almost out of breath, laughing. Some people noticed but only shook their heads at the sight of the young couple enjoying themselves.
Looking around, Kyubi puts her finger on her lip wondering where to go first. After a second she decides. "Um, can we go on the Farris wheel?" Getting his agreement they head on over. They spend the rest of the morning slowly making their way through before watching the rubber duck race. (AN: Yes this a real event. There's a version in Halifax where you make bets and proceeds go to charity.) Afterwards, they disappear before making their way to a flea market and Diagon alley, then the movies…
00000000000000000000 After the movies 00000000000000
Naruto and Kyubi are walking out of the theater arms around each others waists. Turning to Kyubi, Naruto decides to ask the question on his mind. "Amakirr?" After getting a non-comitive sound he continues. "So, did you enjoy our date?" In response she lays her head on his shoulder and sighs in happiness.
"Mm-hm! I especially enjoyed the movie." As she tells him this her hand makes it's way under his shirt causing him to growl. Naruto begins to nuzzle her.
"I'm glad you've enjoyed our date, Amakirr." He doesn't notice how when Kyubi leans into his shoulder her eyes grow slightly misty.
'Who would've thought it… The person I would fall in love with would be the very same one I was sealed into… The Fates have a strange sense of humour.' Kyubi's eyes begin to fill with unshed tears as her free hand slowly rubs her lower abdomen. 'And a cruel one at that…' Her head rises slightly as she feels the arms around her waist give her a slight squeeze.
"Amakirr? Is something the matter?" Needless to say Naruto is slightly shocked when Kyubi suddenly hugs him tightly, he becomes more so as he feels a wetness on his shirt. "Did I do something wrong?" He waves one of his hands slightly, the ring on his finger glowing as he casts the privacy charms. Kyubi quickly dispels the notion that Naruto did anything wrong.
"No. No, you didn't do anything, Naruto-kun. It's just… I'm so lucky to have you." Her next question, however, catches him off guard. "Naruto-kun? You know I love you right?" After a few seconds of blinking, Naruto gives her a weird look.
"Er, yeah. Of course I love you, you know that." He smiles at the slight upturn of her lips, before she becomes serious once more.
"I did. Now, what do you think of Hinata?" Seeing him about to answer she interrupts him. "Truthfully."
"Truthfully?" Seeing her nod, Naruto looks up at the sky. "Truthfully, she reminds me of you." He chuckles when he sees her cock her head to the side like the fox she is. "Like you she's beautiful, kind, generous, gentle, and generally pleasant to be around. I already know that one day she'll be a good wife and an even better mother. Why?" Seeing a sad smile form on her face, his eyes narrow in suspicion.
"That's good… Because I think that she would make a excellent second girlfriend for you." She bursts into a mass of giggle at how his eyes nearly pop out of his face.
"WHAT!?" After a few moments of hyperventilating, he restarts. "What!? Kyubi-chan I can't do that to you!" Kyubi's hug just gets tighter.
"Yes, yes you can." She looks up at him, her eyes pleading. "We both know that she cares for you deeply and because of how Harry set it up, if they activate the CRA for him, it also activates for you. And besides… She's like a little sister to me so I know that I can trust her. Even better, doing so can help protect her from those idiotic Hyuga elders." Naruto begins to scratch his head in confusion.
"What I still don't understand is why you want me to do this, Kyubi-chan." Shaking her head sadly, Kyubi sighs.
"It's because she can give you something I can't." Seeing his continued confusion a few tears escape her eyes. "She can give you a family… I can't."
"Huh? What are you talking about Kyubi-chan?" At his answer she steps slightly away from him, before looking him in the eyes.
"Naruto-kun, you forget, I'm sealed inside of you. I don't have an actual body anymore. This…" She moves her hands as if to reveal her body. "This is nothing more then an illusion. A simulation body made of magic and spiritual energy wrapped around a talisman. I.. I…" As she begins to breakdown, Naruto gathers her in his arms, and feel her relaxing in them as she continues. "I will never know the joy of having a kit of my own, the feeling of a new life taking shape within my body. You asked how could you do this? I ask how could I not allow you to do so. At least with Hinata you'll have kits of your own." Suddenly Kyubi finds herself drawn into a deep kiss, one in which she can FEEL the love and passion he holds for her surging through the link. Her eyes slowly drifts close as she adds her own. 'Naruto-kun…'
Slowly pulling away after a few moments, Naruto gently cups her cheek, smiling at how she leans into his touch before becoming serious once more. "Kyubi-chan, swear that one day you WILL be free of the seal. Even if I need to move Heaven and Earth," here his lips twitch. "Not to mention Hell, to do so. I will find a way." Kyubi looks at him with a grateful look before answering
"I know you will, Naruto-kun, I know. However, I also know that doing so will take years, if not decades. There's also a good chance that I may never be fully free. So please give Hinata and any other girls a chance. I want you to be happy with a big family." Looking into her eyes, Naruto can see how much this means to her.
"Okay, I'll… try. I can't do much else. Is that good enough?" Kyubi nods before burying her face in his shoulder.
"Yes, yes it is." Suddenly she begins to giggle as a thought strikes her. Seeing a confused expression on Naruto's face she smiles. "Besides, it's not as if I'm a stranger to such relationships after all." After thinking it over, Naruto remembers the stories Kyubi told him of when she was younger. Chuckling, he pokes her on the nose causing her to become cross-eyed.
"Now," he began "no more serious stuff, ok? Today is our day to enjoy." Scratching his chin in thought, he snaps his fingers. "Hey, I know! Since we have time how about we go visit Kit-neechan!?" Naruto exclaims only for Kyubi to poke him in the ribs.
"You only want to get some more books on the occult, admit it." Naruto simply shrugs.
"Sure, that's part of it. But we also haven't seen her in a bit." Seeing his girlfriend's pointed look he sighs. "Fine, my book on rituals just came in. But I also want to see her!" Naruto tells her with a pout, causing Kyubi to giggle for a bit until her head cocks to the side, looking like nothing more then a curious fox.
"You have to wonder though: where does she get the stuff from? I positive that most of them are EXTREMELY obscure. So how does she get her hands on them?" Naruto makes a non-comitive noise.
"Never asked, not about to either. In fact, I'm not so sure I want to know." Naruto begins to shake his head. "Besides, I need this book for some research I'm doing." Kyubi makes some pleading eyes and Naruto smiles at her. "Sorry Kyubi-chan, but the Puppy dog eyes no jutsu won't work this time. Not for this." Kyubi pouts before shooting him a glare.
"You know I will find out, right?" Kyubi scowls a bit before Naruto takes her chin in his hands and gives her a soft kiss.
"Please don't scowl, it doesn't look right on your beautiful face." Kyubi blushes heavily, not knowing that Narutois chuckling in his mind. 'Besides, you'll know soon enough Kyubi. You'll know soon enough.' After that he dispels his privacy charms and, together, they begin to make their way down the street.
000000000000 One hour Later 00000000000
Naruto and Kyubi are outside an old, Victorian style building with a sign declaring it to be a store with the name of "Misty Mysteries". Of particular note is the Pentagram on the sign with the eye of Horus in the center. Walking up, they enter causing a bell to chime. At the front desk a young women in Steam-punk clothes looks up (looks like a younger version of Natarle from Gundam Seed with long hair), and seeing who it is, smiles. Rushing over she envelops Naruto in a large hug before stepping away.
"Well… I can see that those pills worked for you." She laughs at what Naruto does next.
"Yup! But was there any doubt?" Naruto asks seriously while flexing his muscles. After a few more minutes Naruto relaxes. "So Kit? How have you been?" She shrugs.
"Not bad, not bad at all. Business, of course, has been slow. But then again when hasn't it?" She suddenly snaps her fingers. "Oh! Before I forget! Abby says hi." Kyubi shakes her head in amusement.
"Tell her we said hi as well." Reaching into her pocket, she pulls out a Rockstar energy drink (AN: don't own it.) omly for it to be quickly snatched by Kit.
"Myyy Precious." Seeing her two friends trying to hold in laughter, she childishly pouts. "Oh fine! Make fun of me." After a few seconds all three burst out laughing. After a bit they finally get their laughter under control. "So I suppose you're here for your book?" Naruto nods.
"Hmm-hm. You got it right?" Kit just snorts at him before opening the can and taking a drink from it. Afterwards she shoots him a nasty look.
" 'You got it, right?' (Snort) You sound as if you honestly thought I couldn't find it." Shrugging, she beckons them to follow her as she makes her way behind her desk, going through a curtain. "It's in the Vault of course. Can't leave a book like it out in the open, after all. Who knows who might take it." Naruto looks at Kyubi who just makes a 'You first' motion. Shaking his head he follows, Kyubi close behind.
"Thank Merlin that we're preferred customers, huh? Otherwise we would never even get a clue on how to even find these books." Naruto states while making his way into the basement before stopping behind Kit who's in front of a large iron door inscribed with glowing runes. Kit turns to look at Naruto.
"You wouldn't." Seeing Naruto's look she continues. "Naruto, I like you and your brother. THAT'S why you have preferred customer status. Besides, most wizards and witches are idiots." Suddenly an image of her parents being tortured and killed by a blond man in a mask while her four year-old self hid in the closet. "Though that may be a good thing, all things considered." She adds shuddering. Naruto places a comforting hand on her shoulder while Kyubi finds a piece of the wall facing away from them to be fascinating. Giving him a thankful smile, she chants a few words in an unknown language causing the door to open. Walking in they're greeted by the sight of many books, scrolls and other items.
Looking at some of them even Kyubi is creeped out. Seeing some of the titles she can't help but shiver: The art of Re-animation by Hebert West, Livre d'Eibon, Cultes des Goules (A copy of which Harry owns), and the Unaussprechlichen Kulten just to name a few. 'Hopefully most of these won't ever see the light of day… ever.' She also notices a glass display case full of enchanted amulets and protective charms as well as a obsidian knife that's giving off the feeling of blood lust. Her attention is drawn away from her examination by the sound of objects being moved and coughs. She smiles at the sight of a dust-covered, sneezing Kit holding a large book. Looking closer she can see that the book is in fact a group of bronze sheets bound together with leather.
"Here we (Achoo!) go! One second!" Taking a moment to blow her nose, she continues. "Sorry about that. Anyways, here's your book Naruto. The ιεροτελεστία του αρχαίος (Rites of the Ancients) . Oh! Before I forget, Harry's books also came in, now where were they…? After shuffling around some more (And disturbing even more dust) she finds what she's looking for. "AH HA! There we go! Here's one, the infamous Vér Varázslatok Utikönyve (Guide to the Magic of Blood) by the countess Erzsebet, better known as Elisabeth Bathory or the Blood Countess. Also, we have Libri of Extraho - rex rgis (Book of the Dragon-kings) and the Chyfareddau chan 'r Sarff (Spells of the Serpent) written sometime in the Tenth century by an unknown wizard. Anyways, will that be paper or plastic?" Naruto snorts at her slightly sarcastic tone.
"Sorry for ever doubting you me lady."Glancing around, his eyes fall upon an amulet. He smiles as he notices it to be an Eye of Horus. "I would also like that, please." Looking at where he's pointing, Kit nods.
"Gotcha. Anyways we should head back up so you can pay for your items." Nodding, Naruto and Kyubi make their way out and up the stairs as Kit whispers a few words causing the doors to shut once more. After talking for an half-hour, they leave since Row's already transported their percusses home. Noticing the dreamy look, Kyubi and Naruto just smiling having guessed why already. Kyubi then turns to him as they get on the street.
"So who's the amulet for,by the way?" Naruto chuckles at his curious girlfriend before answering her.
"It's for Hinata-chan. I figured that with her becoming a ninja she might be able to use some protection and I could tell that there's a mass of protective magic in it." After thinking it through, Kyubi nods.
"That's actually a good idea from you... for once." She laughs at her boyfriends shouts that he always has good ideas. After walking for an hour, they come across some stairs leading below street level. Naruto then turns towards Kyubi with a smile.
"Kyubi-chan, you can drop the disguise now." Seeing the disbelieving look, he shrugs. "Just trust me." After a few seconds she nods and does so. Smiling even more, Naruto offers her his hand before they both descend downwards. Reaching a door with a great deal of noise, they walk through. Beyond is the sight of various humans and non-humans enjoying themselves at a nightclub. Wide-eyed, Kyubi turns to Naruto.
"Wha… Where are we?" Her shock just causes Naruto's smile to become a huge grin before he answers her question.
"This is the surprise I hinted at earlier. Kyubi-chan welcome… To Club Freak, where being odd is actually considered quite normal." He's unable to get another word out as Kyubi drags him out to the dance floor almost knocking over a cat-girl…
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Pen-pen: Wa... Waarkk rk? (So... That's it?)
Steve:Yup. We're done for now.
Unit-01: I'm confused about one thing though...
Steve: Oh? And what's that?
Unit-01: I'm assuming that Kit is a muggle so that begs the question... Why is she in posession of magical items and scripts?
Hinata: Also why hasdn't the MoM gotten involved?
Steve: Simple really. Yes, Kit ,or Annabel as her name really is, is in fact a muggle. She's in posession of them BECAUSE she knows where and how to find them since she caters to a select cliental. As to why the MoM doesn't know about her... Well, I think the books proved they're idiots. Besides, the Vault is protected with sheets of Cold Iron, which is Anti-Magical in nature. Which explains why their Magical sensors (Or whatever they have) haven't detected anything.
Unit-01: What about the books? Some of them sound familiar.
Steve: They should. Some of them have been mentioned in popular culture. Since J.K's universe doesn't have many (if any) Grimoires, I took some from another. Some however are my own creation. (Addresses the readers) If you want to use them go ahead, I only ask that you give me credit. In fact I'll detail them below.
Pen-pen: Wark? Wark war rk Warrkkk ark? (Well? What are we waiting for?)
Grimoire Guide:
ιεροτελεστία του αρχαίος (Rites of the Ancients): An ancient text dating back to the time of Alexander the Great, it was written on sheets of bronze by one of Alexander's commanders. It had been believed lost in the destruction of the great library of Alexandria. Within are rituals dating back to Sumarian times, most of which have been lost in the sands of time and are unknown today. Considered to be the book from which scraps of translations have given birth to modern rituals. One of the rituals within are said to be a perfected version of that which the Horcrux creation ritual is but a pale shadow...
Vér Varázslatok Utikönyve (Guide to the Magic of Blood): This is a tome on blood magic written by Elisabeth Bathory after her imprisonment, but before her transformation into a Vampire after her death. It was thought lost, it was found however by a German Archeologist in 1864 (He later disappeared under mysterious circumstances). Within it's pages are rituals, spells, and alchemical mixtures created by using blood. It is in fact considered to be the foremost source of knowledge regarding Blood magic (Harry found out about it from Lily's research journals with included a few pages. It is believed that the knowledge within was givin to Blood Countess by a Vampire, perhaps a Nosferatu.
Libri of Extraho - rex rgis (Book of the Dragon-kings): A latin book penned during Roman times, it is in fact a translation of part of an even older book often times refered to as the Draconomicon. It is on the banned list of books of various magical goverments around the world because according to them it contains dark magic... Which, of course, isn't true. The real reason is that it contains a history. A history of a time when a race(s) of intelligent, spell-casting dragons had dominion over the world. In fact, they used wizards as servents and slaves, much like wizards use house-elves today. It also has a number of minor dragon magic spells within as well as a code leading the way to the Draconomicon's true location...
Chyfareddau chan 'r Sarff(Spells of the Serpent): A book of Parseltoungue magic written a thousand years ago, it is suspected that it was written by none other then Salazar Slytherin for it contains research notes as well as spells. Some of which are used to enhance bonded snake familiars. It's a large book bound in the hide of an unknown reptile with a serpent sigil embossed on it.
Steve: Well, that's all for now! Until next time sports fans!
