Chapter Twenty-Nine:
I got nods and when it was time threw the doors open. With a quick burst of magic, the hall was plunged into darkness. I nodded to the others and we tossed in the Flashers. They exploded into showers of light like silent fireworks causing gasps to ring through the air. With a nod to the others, we rushed inside with magic flaring. Each of us had balls of magic floating about us in a flurry of colors. Luna, Draco, Susan, and I slammed our palms onto the floor causing loud cracks to sound through the air. Our magic exploded outwards to create illusions of our house animals. They roared, hissed, cawed, or snarl. Loud bangs and pops rang out from behind the four of us as the others made use of their magic. All four of us rose and linked hands as we shouted, "Who are we?"
"HOGWARTS!" Was shouted back at us by the other students.
"WHAT DO WE STAND FOR?!" We shouted back at them.
"UNITY BETWEEN THE FOUR MAIN ELEMENTS!" They called back.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" We shouted at the snake house.
"SLYTHERIN!" They replied.
"WHO ARE YOU?" We shouted at the ravens.
"RAVENCLAW!" They replied.
"WHO ARE YOU?" We shouted at the badgers.
"HUFFLEPUFF," They shouted back at us.
"WHO ARE YOU?" We asked the lions.
"GRYFFINDOR!" They roared.
"WHAT ARE WE?!" We asked them.
"WE ARE THE HOUSES OF HOGWARTS! WE ARE FAMILY!" Was shouted causing a smile to appear on my face.
"WHAT ARE WE HERE TO DO?" Draco shouted at them.
"LEARN MAGIC AND PROTECT OUR OWN!" Was the reply.
"WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO?" Susan shouted.
"PROTECT ALL OF OUR FAMILY!" Was the reply.
"HOW LONG WILL YOU DO IT?" Luna asked them.
"FOR AS LONG AS HOGWARTS STANDS TALL, SO SHALL WE HER CHILDREN!" Was the reply.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" I shouted at them.
"HOGWARTS. THE CHILDREN OF HOGWARTS!" They all replied and stood up.
As one, we all turned to the head table and bowed to our Professors. The lights flared back on and cheers rang through the hall. We headed to our seats and I leaned against Luffy as I sat down. He grinned at me, "Awesome display."
"I could have done more, but sometimes simplicity is best," I murmur softly as Dumbledore stood up once more, "And here comes the old coot,"
Luffy grinned as Dumbledore stood and smiled stiffly at all of us, "Thank you all for..."
I began to feel sleepy and chalked it up to the days events as well as spending last night working on some new sealing maps. When dinner was finally started, I began to eat, but noticed my appetite was less than it should be. I felt a burst of confusion over it, but pushed it off as I yawned sleepily. Luffy looked at me in confusion and asked, "Are you alright Kai?"
I began to nod, "Yeah. Just not feeling hungry. I think I need to go get some rest."
"You sure?" He asked causing me to nod only to pause and shake my head, "What-"
I felt confusion fill me when I couldn't hear the rest of his question. He looked at me for a few moments and I mimed that I couldn't hear him. His eyes widened and I saw him turn to Mihawk. I tore my eyes away from the two when my hand began to burn and saw my marks glowing darkly. Pain burst along my marks and my magic seemed to be trying to claw it's way to my stomach. I barely felt a hand on my shoulder as the pain intensified to the point of unbearability. I tried to say something, but nothing came out as the pain slowly began to grow even more. MY devil fruit energy and my haki seemed to have joined my magic in it's quest to claw it's way to my stomach. My vision swam with black as my view of the world seemed to be shifting backwards. The last thing I saw was Mihawks hawk-like eyes before the darkness claimed me.
Sometime later
The only thing I felt when I woke was the aftershocks of pain coming from my marks. I blearily opened my eyes and found myself staring at the ceiling of the infirmary at One Piece castle. I stared at the ceiling for who knows how long until I heard the door open. I turned my head and saw Hannah walk in. She paused and her eyes widened before she turned to Greve, "Go tell the others. She's awake."
The badger took off faster than most would think. Hannah made her way over to me and I croak out, "What happened?"
I barely managed to keep from coughing from my dry throat. Hannah gave me some water and answered my question, "Someone tried to give you a love potion and a loyalty spell."
"W-what?" I choke out causing her to nod, "Who the hell would-" I cut myself off as my eyes narrowed, "Dumbledore,"
"Yup," She nodded causing me to growl softly, "You've been out for a week thanks to that,"
"Damn it," I grimace at the bad taste in my mouth, "Did they do the champion selections?"
"Yup," Hannah confirmed causing me to grimace, "It's between Fleur Delacour, Viktor Krum, Cedric Diggory, and you,"
"Damn it," I curse with a growl, "How bad did everyone react?"
"Most are out for your blood and the ministry is trying to get their hands on you," She answered as the door was thrown open, "Excuse me for a moment," She turned and I watched as she stormed towards the large group of people that were trying to get past the wards on the infirmary, "What the hell do you all think you're doing?"
"Trying to see Kaileara," Luffy shouted from the front, "Let us in!"
"No," Hannah glared at them causing many to cower which increased as she poured some killing intent into her glare, "She is in a weakened state and having you idiots jump on her will most likely be bad for her health. I will let some of you see her, but not right now. Now get!"
The doors slammed shut and I heard the large crash of people hitting walls. Hannah snorted and moved away causing me to chuckle, "I give you an 8 for the getting them out of here, but a 9 for the glare."
She bowed lightly with a giggle, "Thank you," She then frowned, "How are you feeling?"
"Just aftershocks of pain," I answer causing her to nod and walk over to one of the cabinets, "Has anyone tried to kill the old man yet?"
"No though not from the lack of trying," Hannah looked at me in amusement as she handed me a potion that I downed without a sound even though it tasted like shit, "Your father figures, brothers, and all other males attached to you all tried to go to the school in order to kill the old idiot. The females all settled them down, but have pretty much vowed to make Dumbledore unable to have children in the most painful ways possible before sticking his dick up his own ass,"
"Awe they love me," I coo causing her to shake her head, "How long until I can get out of here?"
"You can go now, but I suggest plenty of bed rest," I nod at that assessment, "It means no sex,"
"I'll be just fine though Law might not be," Hannah and I shared a laugh over that, "Can I walk around or do I need help?"
"You should be able to walk to the bathroom and back, but anything other than that is a no," She answered causing me to nod.
"Can Mipsy get me to my room or do I have to go the non magical way?" She smiled at me for the suggestion.
"Magical is fine so long as you keep from using your own magic," She answered causing me to nod and Mipsy appeared.
"What can I do for you Mistress?" Mipsy asked causing me to smile at her.
"Hannah has given me the all clear to go to my room," I say causing the elf to nod, "I need you to get me up there before getting me something to eat that's easy on the stomach,"
"Of course," She grabbed my arm and teleported me onto my bed before popping out.
I sigh softly and leaned back against the pillows contently. I look around my room and saw that Kiyo wasn't there. I felt her presence inside of my magic and nodded to myself before opening my connection to Yukina. I found her sitting next to Law in the library. She perked up and murmured through our connection, "Kai?"
"Who else can use our connection?" I ask her causing her to grin.
"Where are you?" She demanded as Law looked at her in surprise.
"You can use the damned connection just tell Law he isn't allowed to touch me for a while," I say causing her to snort in amusement.
"We'll see how that works out," She sniggered and I rolled my eyes while cutting the connection.
Mipsy appeared and handed me some ramen. I smiled and ate my food before asking her, "Can you get a bath ready for me?"
"Of course," The elf agreed and headed into the bathroom.
Once the bath was ready, I moved to the edge of the bed. I slowly began to stand up and tried to ignore the pain that shot up through me as I moved. I waved Mipsy's concern off as I rose to my feet and slowly made my way to the bathroom. I stripped myself of my clothes before practically falling into the tub. I leaned back against the tub wall for a while before I began to clean myself. When I finished, I slowly maneuvered myself out of the tub and dried off before heading into my room. With a deep sigh, I pulled on the clothes my elf had set out for me and curled up in the middle of my bed. My last thought as I slowly fell asleep was that I would be killing Dumbledore if I saw him within the next week with a grin on my face. I would grin at my Nakama when asked why and say to hell with the plan. He's gone too far.
A few hours later
I woke up when I felt someone running their hands through my hair. I blearily open my eyes and found myself staring into gentle flickering brown. Eyes that I knew so well in once life and not so much in another. I felt a low whine leave my throat as she stopped causing her to giggle softly. I curled my body close to the warmth that she offered and she allowed it as we absorbed one another's presence. I finally spoke after a few moments, "I'm sorry for not contacting you. I'm sorry for everything that I did wrong. I'm sorry for dying before. I'm-"
"Hush," Her voice was as gentle and soothing as the crackling of a flame on a winters night, "You need not ask for forgiveness when it has already been given,"
Relief washed over me at those words and I curled closer to her. I felt lighter and better than I had in long time which always happened when I was in her presence. It was just something she caused when she appeared. I snuggled closer to her warmth and asked, "Am I in trouble?"
"No," She murmured causing me to feel relief, "You've finally allowed yourself to fall in love,"
"I couldn't stop myself," I murmured and pushed my face into her stomach, "He got through all the barriers I put up,"
"As he was meant to," She murmured softly, "You're pleased about it,"
I nodded and tried to burrow further against her, "I love him so much. I don't want anyone trying to take him away."
"You're a wolf and wolves are very possessive beings," She ran a hand through my hair, "It's only natural of you to feel this way,"
"What's going on? What is Zeus planning?" I ask her causing her to sigh.
"My brother wishes to have you under his control for the coming war and will do anything for that to happen," She answered slowly and I felt a flare of anger at the man for making my friend disappointed, "He will listen to no council on this. The Norse pantheon are not making any moves so far, but Odin has Heimdall's eyes upon this place. My brother has heard of your love for the pirate, but he doesn't believe it's true. He is going to have Aphrodite try to change both of your hearts,"
A fierce, angry growl left me at those words. My magic sparked violently under my skin causing pain to explode along the channels it flowed flowed through. Hestia soothed my anger with a soft hum and I growled under my breath as I murmured, "It will not work. He will kill us both before that happens."
"I know dear one," She murmured softly, "Your mother is working to circumvent his actions with the help of Hera, Eris, and many others. Even if they can not see who you truly are, they wish to allow you some kind of peace. In their hearts, the sparks of respect, friendship, and love grow stronger each day. They have seen the past you endured here and to some point back in the world you call home,"
"Do you believe that war will truly break out?" I ask softly even though I knew it would.
"Aye," She confirmed, "My brothers and many others will not stand by while their rule is threatened. They have been in power long enough that they couldn't bare to allow another to take control. Even if the spirits are supposed to be in charge, they will not go down without a fight," I felt her gaze on me and looked up to meet her eyes, "You already knew that answer and you've already chosen a side,"
"The spirits were there when I needed someone," I found myself looking not into the eyes of my friend, but into the fires inside of every hearth in the world, "They never abandoned me when the gods cast their gazes away. They looked at me with wisdom, kindness, love, and kinship when the gods looked at me with fear, hatred, anger, resentment, and scorn. They taught me with no restraint while Zeus would have had me kept in the dark until he needed me. They gave me the tools I needed to keep my Nakama safe and soothed my soul when it was being torn to shreds," I found my friends eyes filled with sorrow and knowledge, "I do not wish to fight you nor any I cared for, but if it comes down to it, I will side with the spirits. It is through them I gained my Nakama and through them I still breath,"
She smiled sadly and nodded, "I know dear one. I know. It makes me sad to see my family fight, but sometimes quarles are too strong for even my hearth to heal."
I smiled at her and laid my head on her shoulder, "Some fights must be done because the balance calls for it. I will try to spare those I know I can spare and look for those that I can, but even I know it's not possible to save them all," I bury my head into her neck, "Please be neutral in all of this. I don't think I could stand seeing you harmed."
"I'll try my best," She nodded and held me to her, "Your heart may seem to be covered in a barrier of ice as hard as diamonds, but it's just a front to not get hurt," I stiffened causing her to chuckle, "I know you don't like hearing that, so don't worry. I'll keep it a secret,"
I smiled into her neck and pulled away, "Thanks 'stia."
"It's no problem my dear one," She smiled before looking outside, "It seems my brother is calling for the council. I must be going,"
"Be careful," I warn her causing her to nod before remembering something in my stuff, "Wait a sec though,"
I opened my pocket-spaces and went to the one that held the item I wanted to give her. Once I located it, I pulled out the flame-like chest it rested inside and handed it to Hestia. She looked at it with a raised eyebrow and asked, "What is this?"
"Something I've been working with for a long time and have finally finished," I answered with a slight grin, "Open it later, but do not allow anyone to open the box. It is for your eyes alone the first time it is opened,"
"Will you give me a clue?" She asked with a spark of amusement glowing inside her eyes.
"You've been wanting one for a long time, but have found none that wish to bare the ages," I answer cryptically causing her to chuckle.
"I see then I shall be going and hopefully have time enough later to see your gift," She said and with one last hug, she disappeared in a burst of fire.
I leaned back in my bed as I dismissed my pocket space and allowed myself to go into a half aware state. Kiyo, Bahamut, and Black were working to fix the damage done to my body by those potions. I could feel the exasperated amusement flowing off all three over my actions with my pocket-spaces. It was a rather unique ability that is derived both off of my magic, my haki, and my devil fruit energy though it only needed a single type of energy that registered as mine to open. I dimly wondered how much power it would take to create a permanently anchored entrance for my Nakama to use if I got injured and only something inside of my pocket-space could heal said injury. It would take a lot of runic and seal work, but it was possible if I used those special crystals I found back during my two years with Law. I was started out of my thoughts by a hand touching my cheek. The jolt of pleasure coming from the mark that rested there told me it was Law. I leaned into his touch causing him to chuckle. I look up at him with slightly hazy eyes as he asked, "What are you thinking about Kaileara-ya?"
"Seal project," I answer softly, "Where have you been?"
"Library," He answered as he took a seat next to me causing me to curl up in his lap like a cat, "How are you feeling?"
"Tired and a few after shocks of pain here or there," I answer as he chuckled at my action, "Kiyo, Bah, and Black are working together to fix the damage the old man caused,"
"Good," He ran a hand through my hair causing a small purr like growl to leave me, "You act so much like a cat even if you're a wolf,"
I glared at him sleepily causing him to chuckle. With a growl, I pushed him away and curled up on my side away from him, "Bastard."
He chuckled again, "You're only saying that because you know I'm right."
"Go fuck yourself," I growl in reply while making plans of punishing him, "I am not a fucking cat,"
"You aren't, but you act like one," He said before I felt his finger run along the marks on my arms teasingly, "I can think of so many ways to prove it to you, but I think a specific one would be enjoyable for both of us,"
I sent a weak shock of magic towards him only to hiss softly as pain coursed through me. I barely felt him pick me up and pull me into his lap as the pain swirled through my mind. He held me close and I clung to him as the pain ebbed away. I groan softly when it was over, "Please don't. You know what Hannah said. I can't have sex."
"I don't see why not," He muttered causing me to shake my head.
"My magic ever since I gained these marks," I wave a hand towards the marks on my arms, "Has become sentient. Whenever we have sex, my magic jumps at my skin and pretty much surrounds us. It acts as an amplifier of sorts and gives us more energy than normal unless it's a new moon or pretty damn close,"
"So it would harm you?" He asked with a slight tremor to his voice that caused me to shiver.
"Yes," I murmur softly, "It would do some damage,"
"I'm going to kill that old man the next time I see him," Law growled causing me to snort.
"I call dibs," I say causing him to scowl down at me, "Help me plan ways to kill Snape. He's probably the one to make the potions,"
Law smirked at that and we settle down to plot. With the contract I extracted from the Founders, I could do whatever I wanted to Dumbledore during the whole of the tournament. It never said I couldn't do anything against those connected to him. It only said I wasn't allowed to kill Dumbledore until after the end of the contract. It means that I only have to wait until Summer to kill the old man. It amused Law to no end when I pointed this fact out and considering the fact Snape belongs to Dumbledore means I can do whatever I want to the stupid man. It was a rather interesting tidbit I found out from Rookfang during my correspondents with the goblin. Apparently, Snape owed Dumbledore a servitude debt. Servitude debts are magics way of saying your a slave without actually being a slave debt. It means Snape belonged to Dumbledore and Dumbledore could do whatever the hell he wanted to the man since he was technically property. The only way for the dour man to be free was if Dumbledore released him from his debt. Dumbledore wouldn't even know he had a servitude debt due to the fact the knowledge fell into the deepest pits imaginable about 500 years ago. The goblins only knew about that debt was because they both lived very long lives and because they were the record keepers of the world. Most didn't know that about the children of war, but it made sense because they kept both money and objects unlike a muggle bank where you could only save money unless you got a safety deposit box. It was a rather interesting subject and Law found it amusing about the lack of sense the wizards here displayed. He chuckled and muttered, "I'm glad you aren't like the idiots here."
"I would be both boring and dead if I was," I murmured softly as I curled up against his side, "Makes me pleased with my choices in life,"
"I'm glad as well," He pulled me closer to him until I was laying on top of his chest, "Perhaps it's because of the inbreeding that caused this lack of sense,"
"Or maybe because they became lost after the spirits left," I shrugged, "It would make sense since they are sheeple and sheep naturally follow a leader. Without a leader, they will die due to not knowing what to do," He chuckled and I swat at him, "Don't laugh. I'm actually comfortable,"
"But I find this amusing," He mock-whined, "Can't I laugh if I'm amused?"
"I suppose, but I don't want to move," I grinned at him and he chuckled, "Stop moving!"
"Doing that would require for me to stop breathing," He replied causing me to mock-pout.
"Mipsy!" The elf appeared, "Please tell Bepo that I wish to use him as a pillow seeing as my current one won't sit still,"
Mipsy giggled and bowed before leaving. Law mock glared at me, "Always trying to steal my pillow."
"He's my pillow," I growl causing him to glare at me.
"Mine," He growled.
"Mine," I reply.
We continued this for a while before Bepo walked into the room. He looked around before finding us and walking over, "You wanted to use me as a pillow?"
"Yes since your idiot of a captain won't sit still like a good little boy," I say with a grin causing Law to scowl and Bepo to snicker.
"I am not a little boy!" He growled causing me to grin at him.
"You are," I reply with a Cheshire grin before moving away and grabbing Bepo's paw to pull him into bed with us, "Sleep,"
The bear complied and I curled against him. Law grumbled under his breath, but joined me none the less. We ended up falling asleep within moments from the softness of Bepo's fur, the relaxing sound of the bears breathing and the sea's waves crashing against the beach, the scent of the sea, and the soothing feeling of being in each others embrace.
End of chapter! Tell me what you think
