"Sometimes you have to leave before you end up never doing what you have to,"-My mother to me.
Chapter Sixteen:
I gave a faint sigh as I looked back at the castle as the new day dawned. Luna, Hermione, and Hannah stood with me as we stared at the castle. We were leaving early so we wouldn't be tempted to stay. I am unashamed to say that I almost decided not to do this because of last night. Damn Law and his ways of distracting me. I close my eyes just as I heard, "KAILEARA!"
I chuckle softly as Hermione murmured, "Looks like Luffy was trying to find you."
"Seems like it," I murmur as I watch every room in the castle light up, "We should go before they come here,"
Everyone nodded and grabbed the portkey that would take us to Gringotts. I watched as a few trees fell down and Kiyo muttered, "Luffy is like a cannon ball,"
"But that's why we love him," Yukina muttered as a few more trees fell.
"Let's go," I murmur before shouting, "SEE YOU ALL COME THE HOLIDAYS!" I then whisper, "Gringotts, Diagon,"
I grimace as I was whisked away just as Luffy charged into the clearing with many others on his tail. I managed to stand my ground, but cursed harshly as I waited for the room to stop spinning. I took a deep breath just as the goblins at the front nodded to me. I walk inside with the others following and we headed to the nearest teller since the bank was actually empty. The goblin's attention was on me the moment I approached and he asked, "How may I help you Kaileara?"
"We wish to gather a few things from our vaults before we head to Hogwarts," I then began to smirk, "Is the thing I asked for ready?"
The goblin gave a bloodthirsty grin as he chuckled, "Yes Lord Rookfang made it clear that it was to be finished today. It will be here when you come back up."
"Thank you," I murmur before Griphook appeared to take us to our vaults.
Hermione spoke up as we walked towards the minecarts, "Kai? What exactly did the goblins do for you?"
"I may or may not have been planning something for a long time," I felt my cheshire grin slide onto my face, "Let's just say it will be something awesome,"
Hannah and Hermione shuddered as Luna hummed softly. I had a soft spot for her and didn't make her go on hell runs. She usually went on them for fun because I gave me hounds and various other beasts a warning of not to bite her. She was amazing my cub and I will do anything to protect her. A chuckle sounded from the depths of my mind as Bahamut murmured, "You act much like Mer did with his students...Only he was a sadist."
I gave the great dragon a mental middle finger with a mental grin before paying attention to my surroundings. The ride of the mine carts were awesome! I let out a whoop and shouted for it to go faster. The goblin chuckled and did as I asked before we slowed to a stop at Hermione vault. She had been pissed off when she found out that I had made one for her, but I got her off my back by telling her that it was nonrefundable and she was one of my best friends. The books she used to try and beat her anger into my head still hurt dammit! Oh and that was before she learned Haki...I really hate teaching her that. I shook off my mental berating as we stopped at the Abbot family vault. Hannah went inside and gathered a bunch of money, a few books, and a few pieces of jewelry. Luna's vault was up next and I went inside with her. I whistled at the mass amounts of books, gold, treasures, wands, and various other odds and ends. She giggled and I went over to a few of the book shelves. Luna followed soon after and we picked out a shit load of books that I sealed up in a scroll. We headed deeper into the bank and the others gathered around me because it was turning freezing cold. The goblin ignored it because the goblin species has thick temperature resistant skin that's second only to dwarves. It comes from their rather unique relationship with Hephaestus...and Ares...bloodthirsty fuckers. I bit back a grin as I unwrapped them from me causing whines as I stepped out of the cart once we reached my vault. The vaults for all my clans had been merged except for the founders and the Evans for obvious reasons. I heard gasps behind me, but ignore it as I stared at the vault doors that glittered in the flames of the nearby torches. Yukina mutter, "Fuck."
I hummed in agreement as I stared at the door for a few moments longer to take it all in. Doors the color of obsidian decorated in gold, silver, bronze, and a pearl colored metal that made my hands itch the longer I stared at it. The door held the potter house symbol on the top of it. The Peverell house symbol on the bottom of it. The Ashferd clan symbol rested in the middle of the door. They symbols were as follows:
Potter: A large golden colored deer with a bronze wand crossed over a silver sword between its antlers.
Peverell: The symbol of the Hollows in the pearl metal with a ringer of gold shaped like flames surrounding it.
Ashferd: A howling wolf in silver with the four main symbols of the moon over it's head, a lunar flower tree at it's back, a wolf pup curled up at the howling wolfs side, and a swirling wave in the background of it all. The symbols of the moon were in silver and outlines in gold. The lunar flower tree was completely made out of silver. The wolf pup was made of bronze. The swirling wave was made of a sapphire colored metal that again made my hand twitch with want.
I took a deep breath to steady myself before I walked forward. I placed my hand in the center of the door and felt the prick of blood before the door opened without a sound. The chill left the air as heat seemed to billow out of the now open doors. Gasps were heard from all but Yukina, Kiyo and I. The Vault had piles of gold, silver, bronze, and various other treasures all on the left side of the room. On the right side of the room, bookcases towered overhead with various books that I had taken the time to copy and put the originals in the library back on the island. In the center of the room weapons, wands, and various other things laid on raised pedestals. I ignore it all as I head to the very back of the room where a statue was set up. The statue was of the very being that had founded the clan that I truly belong to...The founder of the Ashferd clan, Romulus the wild wolf of the north and his partner Kiya the beastal angel. I fell to my knees before the statue made of metals so mixed their origin couldn't be discovered. Yukina and Kiyo follow my lead, so together we bow before the statue. A hush fell around us as we bowed our heads and a humming filled the air as my energies rose up. I murmur, "Lord Romulus the blessing of the first wolf is needed for what we are about to do. Lady Kiya the blessing of the first partner is needed. Our hearts, minds, bodies, and souls are about to begin a journey that will be full of pain, bloodshed, happiness, pleasure, and many other things we cannot describe. We ask of you to bless us for what we shall do, for the strength to do as we must, for the hope of the future, and for all that is and will be. We ask this of you as all others before us have come to ask. Please give us this blessing so that we may go upon our journey with clear minds and hearts. Please watch over our pack as we bound forth to do our duty."
I felt incredibly cold suddenly, but ignored it as I kept my head bowed. Only when I felt a warm hand under my chin, I look up. A glowing woman bathed in silver and blue looked upon me. By her side stood a wolf bathed in black and gold. The two stared at me and the woman spoke, "Ashferd D. Lunar Kaileara you have come before us seeking not glory or fame, but a blessing for you to make it through your duty and to protect your pack."
"Explain to us," The wolf growled deeply in his chest, "Why we should allow this of you?"
I steeled myself and growled in the language of the wolves, a language in which no lie could be told, "Because I only wish for this to end, I wish to stand tall when I feel weak, I wish of this so that I may protect my pack, my Nakama! I will do anything to protect them and this is the best way to do it. I ask for no more and no less. Do as you wish to me, but please give my pack this protection. My duty may be calling, but I cannot leave my pack defenceless. Do as you wish to me for I care not of my fate," I then bow my head and show my neck, "But please give my pack protection."
A long silence enveloped me before a deep chuckle sounded through the air. I felt my body relax as Romulus spoke, "I give you my blessing and the protection for your pack. It has been too long since one such as you have called upon our very spirits."
"Aye it has my wolf," Kiya murmured softly causing me to look up at her as she looked down at me with eyes that showed so many things, "I will ask of you nothing other than to bear the name of our clan with pride,"
I nodded as she let go of my chin, "I will lady Kiya."
She placed her hand on my forehead and heat flowed through me. I almost cried out as Romulus placed his nose over my heart and even more heat flowed over me. I struggled to remain in my bowed position as the same feeling echoed through my bond to Kiyo and Yukina. We held in our cries and soon the heat decreased before flowing into the core of my being. I shuddered softly and barely heard as Kiya murmured, "Be swift in your fight young one, it will be hard, but if you hold your Nakama in mind, body, and soul all shall prevail."
"Regret nothing," Romulus growled deeply in his chest, "Kill all who stand in your way of protecting your pack. Leave none behind as you run like the wind. You are a wolf and nothing shall change that,"
A deep howl filled the air as a humming sound mixed with it. I slowly rose from my bowed position as the sound echoed through the air for a while. I shook off my shock and Yukina muttered, "Well damn...looks like I owe Shang a buck."
A laugh burst from my throat faster than I could stop it. I felt immense relief fill me and was soon joined by Kiyo and Yukina. We soon stopped though chuckles bubbled up randomly. We stood up and gathered everything we needed before walking out of the vault. The door shut behind us and we walked to the cart without a word. The ride back up was silent as my Nakama and the goblin took in all that had transpired. I knew I would be questioned later, but for now it was fine. I took a deep breath and leaned back against the hard seat of the cart until we reached the surface. I felt amusement fill me as Rookfang stood in the middle of the bank as a few wizard and witches milled about. I felt their curious eyes, but ignore it as I spoke softly, "Greetings Rookfang. I assume you have what I requested?"
"Indeed," He said before handing me a box, "Everything is inside. I hope you have fun this year Kaileara,"
"Oh I will," I gave a bloodthirsty grin that caused many to shiver, "We must be going,"
"May the fates, the damned, and the spirits watch over you," Rookfang murmured and I gave him a nod.
"And may they watch over you as well," I murmur and we left the bank.
We were silent as we made our way through the alley before heading towards the train station. We had about an hour before we had to be at the station due to the amount of time it took to visit the vaults. I hailed the night bus and we payed before sitting down. Luna took a seat next to me as Hannah and Hermione took a seat across from me. I leaned against the seat as Kiyo curled around my shoulder. Each of my companions looked at me in blatant curiosity that made me sigh as Yukina muttered, "Guys stop looking at us like that. We'll give you an explanation later."
They nodded though the look in Hermione's eyes told me it wouldn't be a subject I 'accidentally' forget about. I gave a small sigh as Hannah asked, "So Kai...what do you think Hogwarts is going to be like?"
"I dunno," I shrug as I had been wondering that same since I found out the founders were alive, "It'll be interesting. Dumbledore will probably be a normal professor or something. All in all it will be diffrent,"
"Haven't you been contacted by the founders yet?" Hermione asked causing me to shake my head.
"Nope. I'm actually glad they haven't," I allowed a smirk to appear on my face, "It allowed me to focus on what was needed rather than some idiocy," I held up a hand as Hermione looked ready to disagree, "I will admit that it would be nice to get to know them, but since everyone came to the island we've been busy. I didn't have time to do much other than send a letter through the goblins to the founders,"
"What did you tell them?" Hermione asked causing me to grin.
"I merely told them about what happened during my years of Hogwarts schooling," I shrug lightly at the surprise on their faces, "I also gave them ideas I had about the curriculum and other such things," I then give them a soft smile, "I want to give the young ones a chance to have fun at school, a better chance at survival, and perhaps a chance to make friends in places that would seem impossible," My mind went back to when I befriended my Nakama, "After all it's not impossible, we did it,"
"Yeah," Hannah murmured with a soft smile, "We managed it and kept our friendship for years...even when your sadism got bad,"
I chuckle softly as two of my three companions shuddered. Luna just giggled and I laid my head on the back of the seat until it was time to get off. We all got off the bus and headed inside the train station. I felt particularly happy when all three looked at me in surprise when they found themselves De-aged to 14. I chuckle softly and did the same to myself as I said, "Bonney showed me how she does it. It's a really useful power."
"Damn it feels weird," Hannah muttered as she shook herself, "How long does it last?"
"Due to the amount of energy I put into the process," My finger scratched at my cheek as I calculated it, "We'll be stuck like this for about the whole school year,"
"WHAT?!" The trio yelled causing many stares as we paused in the middle of the train station.
I gave them a dark look and dragged them through the gateway, "Be quiet you idiots," I then push them forward, "Go say goodbye to your families if they're here. I'm going to find us a compartment."
They nod and slid into the crowd. I slipped past everyone and went straight into the train. I marveled at the mass amount of spell work once I'm inside. I had never noticed it before, but then again I didn't have master Valkyrie as a teacher. A melancholy smile appeared on my face as I dimly wondered what she would say about being here. She would probably try to disassemble the fucking thing just to figure out how it all fit together. I shook my head and moved to the end of the train to find us a compartment. I found one and quickly began to make it big enough to fit all of us, make sure no one could see who we were, not be bothered by anyone other than the trolley lady, make sure it wouldn't collapse from the amount of magic used on it, and a bunch of privacy wards. I settle against one of the seats before growling and making all of them comfortable. I pause in what I was doing when I heard a faint chime. I quickly went through my pocket space and winced upon seeing that it was Andromeda's mirror. The mirror was a pale white color with black dogs running across the frame. It glowed slightly and I bit my lip as I wondered if I could avoid it before sighing. I would be in deeper shit if I didn't, so I answered it, "Hello-"
"KAILEARA YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Andromeda shouted causing me to wince at the volume, "WHY THE HELL DID YOU LEAVE BEFORE WE COULD SAY GOODBYE?"
I glared at her causing her to wince, "Andy never shout like that when I can fucking hear you."
"Sorry Kai," She gave me a sheepish smile as a bit of laughter could be heard, "But please answer my question,"
"I just," I grimace and sighed, "I...You guys...it's just..."
"Kai," She looked at me in concern, "Just tell us,"
"I didn't want to you guys to see us off because it would have made me want to stay," I sighed softly as I rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly, "Having you all around me after being separated for so long made me realize just how painful it is to be apart from you all. I left early because it would have made me stay..." I look away from her, "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to make you angry,"
It was silent for a little while before Andromeda spoke once more, "Kai...Why didn't you tell any of us?"
I took a deep breath before murmuring, "Because I just...I just thought it would be best if I didn't mention it."
"Kai..." Andromeda's voice was coated with amusement causing me to look at her, "You are always acting like this," She gave me a smile, "Just be careful alright,"
"I will," I promise and gave her a smirk, "You be careful as well. I need you to give me reports of anything happening while I'm gone,"
"No problem," She gave me a mock salute, "I was a spy for the fucking Revolution,"
I rolled my eyes and murmured, "Sure Andy," I chuckled at her mock scowl, "I'll see you guys later,"
"Yeah," She then gave a giant grin, "Give those bastards hell Kai,"
"Oh I will," I give an equal grin, "See ya later,"
"Bye!" Andromeda chirped and I chuckle.
The mirror disconnected and I put it away. The door opened and Hermione walked in with the others. I smiled at them only to see the twins missing. I scowl at that and ask, "Okay who is keeping the fucking twins?"
"Their mother," Hermione scowled darkly causing me to bite back a sigh, "What should we do?"
"We can do nothing yet," I shook my head sadly.
"Kai?" Draco asked causing me to look at him.
"Yes Draco?" I ask.
"Why do you look like Hermione, Hannah, Luna, and you look like you're 14?" He asked as the others nod.
"I used Bonney's power to turn us all to our 'correct' ages," I used air quotes, "Everyone will be going through the same so we have an easier time among the students at Hogwarts,"
"But we're mentally mature," Blaise scowled causing me to chuckle.
"We must do this whether we like it or not," I say causing him to scowl, "It is needed unfortunately,"
"Damn it," He groaned causing me to chuckle as I De-aged everyone, "How long will this last?"
"For most of the year," I say before remembering something, "Well unless we head back to the island,"
They sighed and I chuckled just as the twins ran into the room. They slammed the compartment door shut and sank into a seat next to Hermione. Hermione spoke, "What happened?"
"Mother wanted us to stop being friends with you," Fred scowled darkly causing me to sigh.
"She wanted us to push you towards Ron," George growled darkly causing me to scowl.
"Never going to happen," I snarl even as I De-aged the twins, "I hate that bitch and the troll," I then smirk at them, "Let's see how they deal with my soul bond to Law,"
"Oh man Mother's going to fucking flip," Fred smirked wolfish grin.
"Oh she's going to have kittens," George shouted causing me to chuckle, "She's going to have puppies too,"
"She'll have the whole barnyard!" Fred added causing all of us to laugh.
"Other than that," George said as he noticed everyone's states, "Why are we all...young?"
"We need to have an easier time at Hogwarts since it's the last year," I then give them a grin, "Let's have fun this year,"
Agreements were given and we began to plan for everything.
Time skip!
I felt an amused smirk form on my lips at the amount of people staring at me. I kept my marks visible as we left the train. Hagrid called out to the first years and looked among the students, but seemed disappointed. Ah yes, I haven't seen him since I came back. I settled into a lazy stance as I walked with my Nakama to the carriages. The thestrals seemed wary of me as I approached them, but I ignored it as I walked to the lead one of my chosen carriage and pulled an apple from my pocket. I held out the pure white apple and the lead thestral ate it. I chuckled softly and murmured, "Please get us to Hogwarts my friend."
The thestral nodded it's head and I got into the carriage with Luna, Hermione, and Hannah. We settled down together and Hermione asked, "Why did you give that thestral an apple?"
"It is better to give something minor when it can give you something major in the long run," I say with a shrug, "Thestrals are horses in the end and can fly as swiftly as the breeze. In one night, they can cover three quarters of the earth,"
"Damn," Hannah muttered as we slowly drew closer to the castle, "Makes you wonder what other amazing creatures are out there,"
"Thousands of diffrent beings," I murmur as I look out the window, "In an island deep within the north blue, a five thousand year old dragon made completely of frost and moonlight," I grin upon remembering it, "It is said to sleep within a cave so deep that nothing can reach it," I shook my head, "She's a very nice lady once she stops being cranky. I can summon her anytime I want, but usually choose not to,"
"How the hell did you meet her?" Hermione demanded causing me to chuckle.
"Let's just say it was when I still lived with that bastard," I grimace at remembering the fucker, "Let's just say it was one of the only nice things he did for me,"
"What's she like?" Hannah asked.
"Well after she stops being cranky," I chuckle upon remembering how much damage she did, "She's actually pretty nice and helped me out a lot," I smile softly, "She's the one that taught me about dragons,"
"Awesome," Hannah breathed.
"Can you teach us?" Hermione asked causing me to chuckle.
"Perhaps," I agree causing them to smile, "Now be ready,"
The carriage slowed to a stop and we all got out. I stare up at the castle as the wards reach out to me and embrace me like a mother welcoming her child home. I smile softly as my magic reached out and embraced the magic of the castle. The wards glowed brightly causing gasps from those around us and a giggle bubbled up in my throat as the warmth it brought me rushed over me. I shook myself as Yukina settled on my shoulder in her hawk form. Kiyo took a seat on my head causing me to roll my eyes. She murmured, "The magic that surrounds this place...it...it..."
"Feels like a mother watching over her children," I murmur causing her to nod, "The magic emanates from the very stone,"
Bahamut rose up in my mind and murmured, "Merlin's magic surrounds this place. It feels...,"
"As if you've come home or at least you've found a place to be close to him,"I murmur softly causing him to hum.
"Correct little one," He replied before giving a dragons smile, "When you enter the Great Hall, I shall rise up in your aura. We shall see if those brats remember me,"
I chuckle softly as we headed into the castle. Oh this was going to be fun!
End of Chapter! Here's the Omake! Roll the clip!
Omake: Meet up with disappointment
I sat against the mast of the Sunny. Luffy and the others were acting like idiots as usual causing me to chuckle. I blink when I heard the beats of wings. I hum softly and held out my arm. Yukina landed on my arm and held out her leg so I could take the letter attached. She jumped off and landed next to me while shifting back. Luffy looked up and exclaimed, "Yukina's back! Kai what did Traffy say?!"
I chuckle and say, "Luffy. I haven't even opened it yet. Give me a few moments."
He pouted and I chuckled before opening the letter. I decided to read it aloud:
Dear Kaileara-ya and Strawhat-ya,
I believe that it would be beneficial for us to meet up at the nearest island. I would like to further discuss the arrangement of our alliance.
Until we meet again,
Trafalgar Law.
I chuckle softly and Luffy shouted, "AWESOME!"
"Kaileara," Nami said causing me to look at her, "Which island will the Hearts pirates be on?"
I hum before looking over the letter. I turn it over and found it, "They'll be on the winter island of Yuki."
"We aren't that far," Nami mused causing me to nod.
Time skip
I flew overhead and landed in a crouch on the snow covered ground. Snow came down harshly and it made me smirk. Yukina chuckled and I shook my head as Kiyo muttered, "Always going ahead of everyone."
"Luffy knows I can find the best places to stock and stay at," I remind her with a grin, "Now lets find a place for us to stay before heading to a bar,"
She snorted and snuggled against me causing me to chuckle. Honestly it wasn't that cold, but of course everyone was going to disagree with me. I shook it off and headed towards the inns. I soon found the perfect one and headed to the bar nearest to the port. I entered the bar and Kiyo groaned, "Damn it's so cold outside."
I chuckle softly and shook my head, "Nah it's not that cold."
"Says the one that's a fucking heater," Kiyo growled causing me to snort as I head to counter.
"Not my fault," I retort before taking a seat, "Vodka please," I take Kiyo from my shoulder and set her on the counter, "My devil fruit and magic make my body temperature rise or did you forget that,"
She growled things under her breath and I snort just as I heard, "Kaileara?"
I pause before chuckling as I turn around to see the Hearts pirates staring at me. I shook my head, "Damn it looks like we keep meeting up randomly."
"What are you doing here?" Penguin asked causing me to give him an amused look.
"Awe does that mean you don't like me anymore?" I ask causing him to shake his head.
"No it's just-" He stopped himself as I chuckle, "You're just fucking with me,"
I shook my head in amusement, "No I'm doing that with your captain," Gasps and laughter explode around me, "In all honesty, I came ahead with Luffy's approval because I can find the best places to stay," I look around before noticing two people missing, "Where's Law and Bepo?"
"Book store," Shachi answered causing me to curse.
"Damn," I groan as I took a drink from my vodka, "I was hoping to spend some time with him before my brother comes along,"
Chuckles explode just as the door opened. Law walked inside with Bepo causing the room to fall silent. He paused and looked around before his eyes focus on me. I smirk at him as Bepo spotted me and in moments I was in the arms of a very happy polar bear. I smirk as I hugged him around the neck. Bepo murmured, "Kai you're here!"
I chuckle and nod, "Of course I'm here."
Bepo smiled and let me go as Law walked forward. He cupped my cheek as Bepo moved to the side. He stared down at me as he murmured, "I missed you."
"I know," I say with chuckle, "I missed you as well,"
He grabbed my hand and without another word led me outside. I smirk as Kiyo muttered, "Damn. They work fast."
I snort and Law muttered, "Ignore her. I want to have some fun before your brother arrives."
I felt the Sunny arrive and mutter, "Too late."
"DAMN IT," He growled causing me to snicker.
End of Omake
Well that's the end of the Omake. Review!
