Chapter Forty-Nine
We all sat on the train as we watched the castle fade into the distance. A part of me was saddened at the fact I would probably never set another foot on those grounds, but another was happy to have finally put another piece of my past to rest. I leaned against the sun warmed seat and closed my eyes as the last bit of the castle faded into the distance to not be seen by those that occupied the compartment again. Kiyo curled up in my lap while Yukina rested in the seat next to me. I heard the ruffle of clothes before Tracy asked, "Why did we take the train?"
"I felt sentimental," I answered as I yawned lightly, "It's our last train ride from Hogwarts; A place that we are unlikely to see again. I decided why not take the train if it's our last chance to,"
"We're going to portkey from the train station aren't we?" Hermione asked causing me to nod.
"What about our parent's who are going to be waiting for us?" Daphne asked causing me to crack open an eye to look at her, "You do remember that our parents won't be happy with our choice in companions,"
"So what?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow, "Queen we're best friends, crew-mates, and Nakama. Our parents don't matter when it comes to who we're with,"I yawned lightly, "Mind telling me why it's bothering you? You don't usually care about this stuff,"
She sighed and leaned back into her seat, "I know Kai, but is it wrong of me to be worried? I'm only human after all."
I sighed in return and nodded slightly, "I suppose you're right," I smiled slightly as I fully opened my eyes, "But you must remember that I will protect you. You are also stronger than they think you are. Trust in yourself and in your Nakama, Queen," She began to smile, "We will forever protect you from what will do you the most harm."
"You're right," I smirk at her, "I should remember that after everything,"
"If you ever forget, we'll remind you," Tracy chimed in with a grin, "We're Nakama after all,"
A few hours later
I yawned as I stepped off the train. Everyone looked at the crowded train platform before looking at me. I ran a hand tiredly through my hair and answered their unspoken question, "If something happens and you can't make it to the bank in three hours, portkey to the island regardless of anything that happens."
"Yes Captain," They chorused before heading off to their families.
I watched them go before heading towards the entrance to the platform. I felt the eyes of the families of the students focus on me and burn at my back. I ignored them since they were of no consequence. I slid through the entrance with ease and walked through the crowded station without getting any odd looks. It would be odd had I not activated the misdirection seal hidden amid my clothes. I yawned again as I exited the station and made my way through the city of London to the Leaky Cauldron. It had been a long time since I had seen it and it hadn't changed a bit. A boring thing to happen if you asked me. Places like this should change a bit or else they would be boring. With that in mind, I smirked and began to prank the city. Kiyo shook her head as Yukina chuckled from my side. Kiyo laid her head on my own and asked, "Is this necessary?"
"Yes," Was my simple answer.
"Why?" She asked in return.
"I'm bored and this place is too boring," I sent a tripping spell towards a pair of people in the middle of a dense crowd causing a domino effect, "It's a city that hasn't changed since I was last here when cities always change as time goes on. I'm going to make it change a bit,"
"Ooh," Yukina stopped Kiyo from speaking, "Turn a building bright neon green and another bright neon blue!"
I hummed before doing it to two large buildings with people walking in and out of them dressed up in suits. Shouting ensued as I did the same to a few other buildings only in diffrent colors. I then turned a few random objects and maybe a car or two into a few animals. Kiyo whacked me on the head with a tail and hissed, "Kai please stop. They are already freaked out enough by the weather."
"But it's fun," I pouted causing her to growl and sighed, "Fine I'll stop, but I ain't reversing anything,"
Kiyo snorted and settled down. Yukina looked like she wanted to argue, but knew we would find better things to amuse ourselves if only because of my luck. I yawned once again and frowned as I realized how tired I was. I shouldn't be this tired since I spent most of the train ride sleeping, so something must be wrong. Kiyo must have sensed it since she merged with me. Yukina looked at me, "What's wrong?"
"I feel tired, yet I shouldn't," I answered with a deep frown, "Let's hurry to the bank,"
She nodded and moved closer to me as I began to move faster. It was as I did so that I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye that a newbie at assassination and tracking would make. I could see small glimpses of the one following me and devised that it was a wizard either half-blood or Muggle-born. The reason being that they actually blended in fairly well and didn't look too out of place. The person following me had light brown hair and a curious pair of green eyes. The person was a male and wore a deep black wand holster on his right arm. He had a runners body and cat-like grace that belonged to a predator. Yukina must have also noticed since she commented under her breath, "Newbie assassin that's most likely a half-blood. Animagus from the scent of panther on him."
"Magic?" She snorted lightly at the softly spoken question.
"Medium sized core with potential to grow," I hummed in response, "Voldemort?"
"No," My eyes narrowed in thought, "I doubt he would stoop so low just yet. Perhaps the ministry or another government that believes us to be a threat,"
"Interesting notion," She smirked lightly, "We gonna capture him?"
"Of course," I began to move towards an alley way and speak louder, "Let's go somewhere less crowded,"
I sent out my aura lightly and felt the man pause for a moment before he resumed his path. I entered the alley and immediately began to carve a few seals into the walls to make it easier to capture the man. I know that putting the magic cancelling rune in the mix would be a bit of a hindrance, but I had my devil fruit and natural ability to work off of. Once I finished, I leaned against the wall and applied a quick illusion using one of the Sakkaku-Sakkaku no mi's visionary illusion abilities. The Sakkaku-Sakkaku no mi is the devil fruit Law's elder sister had and was quite useful when magic was beyond my reach. Yukina looked at me and leaned against the bricks, "So we'll be relying on devil fruit and natural ability?"
"Yup," She grinned largely, "You can scare him if you wish. For now though, transform into your hawk form and get above,"
"Fine," She grumbled softly before doing as I asked.
She quickly flew off in a whirl of white feathers once her snow-hawk form stabilized. I grabbed one of the daggers I had in a hidden all over my body from it's sheath on my right thigh. A moment passed before the man entered the alley with his wand raised. He walked slowly while surveying the area warily. Once he moved past me, I detached myself from the wall and moved to the center of the alley path. I dropped the illusion as I said, "You know," He jumped and whirled around, "You're the first assassin that's come after me since I came back...Well other than the Death Munchers the ol' Snake face sends after me," I tapped the flat of the daggers blade against my thigh, "Tell me who sent you."
"Why would I do that?" He sneered at me though the unmistakable scent of fear flowed around him.
I chuckled softly causing him to stiffen, "You really are stupid aren't you?"
"I am not!" He growled in anger causing me to let out a laugh.
"Oh sweet, little, idiotic boy," I moved behind him causing him to whirl around once more, "You are stupid for the simple reason of not knowing just what you're up against," I smiled a feral smile, "Didn't your mother tell you not to tempt a wolf? It always ends badly,"
"You don't seem so tough," He said while gesturing to me, "You're small,"
"Small I maybe," I acknowledge, "But I am by no means weak," I offered him a raised eyebrow, "Do you really think I'm weak? I did kill Dumbledore with ease,"
"A lie," He said causing my eyes to narrow in slight anger, "A great wizard like him would never fall to someone like you,"
A burning sensation build around the base of my spine and around the top of my head. I could feel the temperature drop as the man began to sweat. Fear became clear in his eyes as my form slowly began to change. I spoke and realized that Tundra was close to taking over which was unusual, "Someone like me? Boy you do not know just who you are messing with," My tail and ears appeared first, "I am many things, but weak is not one of them," My dagger fell to the ground and buried itself where it had struck, "I may have looked like a child, but I took out my fair share of people that made me angry," My hands morphed into paws, "Do you remember the Death Eaters that were in the ministry last fall?" He began to pale, "Oh so you do."
"You did that?!" He near shouted making me glad for the silencing seals I had scratched into the wall.
"Yes," My legs and feet morphed into a powerful set of back legs with paws that held wickedly sharp claws, "I and the one I call mate did that to them. They didn't answer my questions, so they got that in return," My arms turned into front legs as the rest of my body save for my head transformed into that of my frost wolf form, "You shall suffer the same fate if you do not tell me what I want to know,"
"Reducto!" He shouted while pointing his wand at me only for nothing to happen.
My head transformed and I chuckled as I moved forward with my tail swishing behind me, "Foolish little boy, your magic cannot help you. It became sealed the moment you entered the alley."
"How did you do that?!" He pointed at me, "Y-you're t-t-the Black Wolf of the Frost!"
I grinned darkly as I continued to stalk forward as clouds gathered above and I felt Yukina land behind me, "Oh this ain't magic. I have more power than any of you idiots know," Yukina shifted into her wolf form as the air rippled and snow began to fall, "So the stupid little boys knows what I am," I chuckled as the scent of fear increased and the man fell back as I stood over him, "Now tell me what I want to know."
"The ministry of magic!" He squeaked causing me to snort.
"Fudge is that scared?" I asked as Yukina snorted from my side.
"You have to admit you are scary," She reminded me causing me to huff lightly.
"It's annoying that weak idiots like him send people like this idiotic little boy after me," I moved lightly to the side as the man dove towards me, "I wish the idiot would at least make it publicly known that he wants me dead,"
"If he did that, he would have to admit you are powerful enough to be a threat," I moved again as the man dove towards me with my dagger in hand, "He would also have to ruin the image of that the country had of you. It would be disastrous for the ministry since the magical communities believe that you are their savior,"
I snorted and shook my head as I swished my tail causing chains of ice to shoot from the ground. The chains grabbed the man and tied him up while I rolled my eyes, "I know and it's boring that the government always does that. It seems that every government is like that for beings it cannot control."
"What are we going to do with him?" Yukina nodded to the idiot I had tied up.
I hummed as I walked over to him and grabbed my dagger with my teeth. I then flung it to the side so that it buried itself into the wall. I looked him in the eye as I moved close enough that if I turned my head just enough, I could open my jaws and tear his neck to shreds. Tundra was prancing around in my mind at the thought of killing what she deemed as prey for the the first time in a long time. I however moved my head upward and spoke in his ear, "Tell all who you see what happened here and give a message to the ministry for me: I will not be felled by the likes of you. Others have come before and failed, so what makes you think you can do better?" I chuckled deeply, "I am a wolf and you all are sheep. Once the snake is gone, I shall leave you to rot. If another wolf comes along, good luck you pathetic sheep. I won't be your hero."
I moved away from him and began to walk away. My form returned to my human one and Tundra pouted in my mind. Yukina walked at my side as we left the alley just as the ice began to melt. She spoke as we walked, "Is it safe to leave that dagger?"
"It is a warning," I smiled faintly at her concern, "And a promise. If they try anything, I shall kill them all save for the innocents. Black shall have their blood and I shall hunt them with happiness," I look at her from the corner of my eye, "Don't concern yourself with those fools. They are sheep with one or two predators among them," I smirked as I closed my eyes, "Besides, it will be interesting to see how they react,"
She was silent for a while which was a small surprise, but it quickly faded as she said, "You know, Law really does bring out your sadistic side," She paused before grinning at me, "I really like it!"
I let out a laugh and nodded in agreement, "I do too."
