I don't own anything, but my imagination. I have placed up a new story KHR x Naruto crossover; I guess you could say it's different as it not like what I normally write. It is a Sasuke X Female Tsuna.
Zabuza is still in the lead. However, the end result is not here yet guys as the end is a long way from here….
*Ryoma would say* Mada, Mada Dane….
Haku has snake contract and Harry speak snake-Had to give them something in common -XD!
I have no BETA; I'm currently doing things on my own. In plus with my schedule I don't think a BETA will stick around. So, with that I hope you lovely readers don't mind in helping me out!
Last time: The invasion took place. Because of Orochimaru's sick meddling, Sasuke's in deep waters with Haku and especially Zabuza. His mission was terminated temporarily (which is still is) and Zabuza and Haku accepted their missions and proceeded to leave Konoha.
Now on to chapter …12!
"Well then, let's go."
Snape along with the guards and Zabuza and Haku disappeared in a swirl of smoke. When they reappeared it was on a desert street and the guards nodded towards their two fellow ninjas before leaving, Snape in their hands.
"Come on, we're not too far away. If we stick to the alleys," Snape started, but he stopped as he knew the two would get the message. "Just let me handle the introductions."
Zabuza shrugged placing a hand on Haku's shoulders gliding her along with him.
Harry couldn't have been more excited. He was leaving tomorrow! He was just in his room when he heard a knock at the door, but who would that be?
He heard Vernon's heavy footsteps even from down the stairs.
Vernon stood turning a shade of purple that looked extremely unhealthy. "What do you want, again? And, who are these freaks with you?"
He didn't care who the two behind were, but...he'd be damned if the freaks were coming in!
"A moment," Snape coolly answered.
"Fine," Vernon growled. "Come in before someone sees."
A few minutes later the Dursley's sat in the living area with the guest while Vernon stormed upstairs.
"Come on boy," that freak of a teachers here for you," Harry didn't know why, or maybe he did. Snape was his only contact at the moment.
Vernon grumbled in front of him and he followed behind. The family and Harry sat on the couch.
Not, even ten minutes and the Dursley's and Harry still stared as if Snape grew a second head. "W-What…?"
The magnificent bird (Riri white gyrfalcon) as Vernon blandly made known sat perched on the girl's shoulders tilting its head sideways. The elder teen/man was tall, spiky brown hair, tanned skinned, bandana over mouth, small beady brown eyes; wearing black with something wrapped in bandages behind his back and metal plate facing sideways on his head. On his wrist were two black arm bracelets, but they were not ordinary ones.
The girl's appearance was androgynous; wearing what was most likely a dark mesh green kimono with dark turtle neck underneath, matching pants and sandals covering her forehead was the same metal plate. However, her eyes…. her eyes were bright green emeralds.
"I won't repeat myself," Snape said sneering.
Petunia looked as though she was going to blow. No way was that girl her niece!
"Hump... Doesn't mean we have to believe you," Dudley said crossing his arms as he was no longer staring –He felt disgusted he was about to flirt with a 'freak'!
Snape pitched the bridge of his nose. Kami these people were infuriating. "Potter, aren't going to step out of the gutter?"
Harry blushed he wasn't in the gutter. He- he just couldn't believe it! Not, to mention that he now owed Snape some type of courtesy-Well, damn he thought sourly.
"Uh… Hi."
Snape didn't know whether to laugh, face palm, scream, or do all three. The boy was hopeless. Meanwhile Dudley snickered.
"Hahaha~ that's it!" Seeing Dudley happy the elder Dursley's did nothing.
"So," Vernon finally spoke his voice somber as if he was restraining himself from kicking them out. "Do they speak English, or are you going to speak for them?"
Snape sighed. He couldn't issue harm sadly. 'Breathe, Snape. Breathe.'- "Why don't you ask them and find out," he said snidely restraining from pitching the bridge of nose again.
No one opened their mouths, but Petunia had something to say. "Why suddenly show up now? And at our house no less! Do you know how bloody irritating it was for –She gestured to the boy Harry and Snape- "These people –'your kind, freaks'- bothered us because they were searching for you! WE even told them that after we dumped you off you were adopted. "
Petunia huffed and Vernon nodded in agreement with his wife. Dudley just watched with a gleam his eyes; although a part of his mind had sick thoughts he shrugged them off- there was no point in thinking on what if's if she did stay.
Harry shook and glared. Those-
"Mm…" heads turned towards the soft hum. Harry looked in those eyes that belonged to his sister and saw…various emotions that flickered so fast he couldn't catch them. He and the onlookers watched as she patted the falcon's feather the other hand securely wrapped around the man- Was he man? Because he looked to be their age, but something just felt off.
"Thank you then," it was soft as she spoke towards the Dursley's who were taken aback. They weren't expecting that as an answer. Even Harry looked horrified. Was what Snape always said was true?
"She's happy in Japan, Potter. Much, much happier," that must be it. His head hung as he looked away, rubbing his neck awkwardly. His sister never really wanted to meet him. That stung, that stung worse than a bee's sting.
Vernon laughed out right. "Ahahahaha, what were you expecting, boy?" Vernon's laughter was cruel, so much so that Snape wondered if that's what the Dursley's been aiming for. To break the boy for worse than what Dumbledore – His thought stopped at the man's name being uttered in his mind. Dumbledore wanted this so he could control the boy! Snape felt like hurling; empty contents –
"Shut the hell up," Vernon stopped and the others turned towards the cold, snide, sultry voice.
"Listen hear Momrich- Vernon sputtered out in outrage. No one humiliates him in his own house.
"Momoichi."
"I don't care!" Vernon bellowed. Zabuza said, did nothing to deter the purple whale. "No one tells me to shut in my own house!"
Before, Vernon or anyone could do anything else; Riri screeched and flew off of Haku's shoulders.
"You damn girl, get that BIRD out of my house!"
His outburst had no effect on the ninjas as they just looked at him impassively.
"Calm down," Petunia said trying to sooth her husband's anger. A glare stops her in her tracks though.
"Look," Snape spoke treading carefully. "Let's just get this over with. Some of us have important business to take care of."
That seemed to do the trick as Vernon was heaving exhaling and inhaling deeply.
"Professor…?"
Snape let out a long sigh. "Ms. Haku do you mind?" As expected the girl looked towards her companion.
Zabuza inclined his head and he said something in Japanese. "Riri," Haku then called and the falcon soared pass landing back on her shoulders.
Snape nodded and the falcon was on his shoulders and he disappeared.
"Well at least one freaks gone," muttered Petunia.
"Boy," Vernon growled. "Hurry it up dinner will be ready soon," Harry knew that it took a lot for them, not to just kick the two out as it would as they would say 'attract neighbors'.
Zabuza grunted as Haku's warmth was removed from his person and she followed the scrawny boy upstairs.
Petunia went to do the cooking and Dudley sat next to his father like a good boy learning from the elder. Vernon happily told him of his job and Zabuza inwardly groaned he just hoped Haku was having better luck.
XXXx…
Harry didn't know how to feel. I mean how is one supposed to feel about it. You think that Snape would have at least told him beforehand, but then Blah! He should be happy, but…
"Uh…" Harry was fidgeting. Why in the world was he so nervous?! "I'll guess I'll go first."
Snape strode in as if he wasn't just at the Dursley's introducing them to Harry's long –lost-sister; "Severus."
With his head held high and his sneer marring his features, Snape dug in his robes. "I had orders from Haku's headmistress to give this letter to you," he handed a small envelop tapping it once with his wand towards Dumbledore who took it with a smile.
Dear Dumbledore-san,
I am Tsunade, and I have permitted Haku and her companion(s) to get to know her brother, Harry. I have permitted for them to attend Hogwarts however your advisor, Snape has been well informative and I thank him for I have better chance to warn you. TRY ANY tricks and you will find yourself in the most excruciating outcome. Now, my students are permitted to do as they please and do not separate them as they work well together and are very protected of each other.
We may be Japan's magic branch, but our magic's are all different however, do not pry in any attempt to figure out what I mean you will find out soon, but I must say that because our magic is whether troubling if overacted and has no systemic course (wild and unpredictable, controlled by emotions) then you can expect 'Confringo's' to fly.
Snape refrain from snickering at that part. He remembered how the fifth actually joked along with one of her men; -Shikamaru was his name- about sparks and fireworks.
As I said our magic is different from yours and not all of Japan's magic community uses wands. I am letting you know because I am one of the few headmistresses that do not require students to use such weapons. Do not pry once more I must warn you of that, and finally far most if ANYTHING happens to my students you. Will. Regret. It. Dearly. No sane-crazed hiding location, no magic tricks, will help you escape once you are found and magical England will lose us as supporters.
P.S. Do hope you understand and respect our communities' wishes.
Sincerely,
Headmistress, Tsunade.
Dumbledore took a breath, "Ah, I would like to meet this, Lady-Tsunade. She sounds like such an eccentric woman."
Snape snorted. He didn't know the half of it. "You better heed to the headmistress warning, Albus. I fear what would happen if you didn't."
Dumbledore waved it off with a twinkle in his eyes. "You did well, Severus my boy. Perhaps-A pause; "A reward would do for such accomplishments." Dumbledore stroked his beard as he said that and Snape never –I take that back – wanted to gag.
Why did the old man have to word things so disgustingly?
"A reward for such trouble isn't needed," Snape sneered out.
Dumbledore frown slightly mockingly, "Nonsense, my boy. As they say: consequences reward punishment while good deeds reward prizes."
What the (censored)?! He was sick, very, very sick!
Snape waltz around and turned to storm out of the headmaster's office quickly as possible. He needed to head back to the Dursley's, or head to his next assignment –
"Wait, Severus." Snape didn't even bother to turn around. "I have changed my plans you will escort both Harry and his sister Ms. Haku and her companion(s) to the HQ's tomorrow instead."
"Hn," was the only answer Snape gave before bolting out of the creep's office.
"I guess you already know my name." Harry was racking his brain at what he should tell his sister. Should he tell of his exploits? His friends, godfather? What?
"Well," Harry started again smiling sheepishly. "Hogwarts is really amazing. I mean you'll love it. You are going right? I mean you don't –I'm not going to force you to be –
Haku hand rose and her eyes twirled. She was muffling her laughter-Harry wanted to glare, but... "Calm down, Harry-Kun. Take it slowly."
Harry sighed she was right and ran a hand through his messy hair. Harry wanted to glare again as he was kind of envious. He bet that her hair didn't bother her as much as it did him!
"Yeah, ok. Uh… let's see it's your choice, but really the school-There's nothing to describe the wonders of it. I have two best friends Ron and Hermione. They're a little on the eccentric side, -That was mildly putting it as those two were quite something- "but they're really great friends."
Haku listened and frankly she didn't know what to say. How was one that had no friends, but comrades in arms supposed to refute to that? She guessed that because they were precious they were friends, but she inwardly frowned. What of Zabuza and Sasuke-Kun?
Haku froze slightly as the teen came to mind. Why? She knew he cared for her in his own twisted way, but what he said to her on the roof of the hospital kind of warrant a distance plague.
"So, my fist year..."Oh, he was talking again.
Haku blinked. "A troll..?" She questioned. Snape told her of such incident that he and the teachers came across during that year.
"Yeah that was just the beginning though during my second year..." Harry trailed off debating whether or not he should tell her.
"Uh... yeah, this teacher he was such a fake it was terrible! He had everyone under his arm-Lockhart was his name and he," Harry groaned at that memory that man was pain in the rear.
"Mm…"Haku hums as if she could picture that like a painting. "Must have been fun. I can image such a thing, but I must say I wouldn't have last long with such antics being schemed just to keep the spot light."
Harry looked up from rubbing his temples and blinked. She spoke with a slight accent, but it was hardly noticeable. They must have English as a second course, or something-"What about you? What did you do at your magic school….uh..?"
"The Akademī, "Haku said with a chuckle. " I have stayed for a few months before; I traveled many places with, Zabuza-san." Of course that was partially true as it wasn't a lie. Haku was thirteen when she went into the hunter-nin, or Oinin (Tracker ninja) association for the village, Kirigakure.
"You see," she explained. "We start at early ages and once we have finished our education in our magic – Harry was awed, but why so early? Was so they could have their own lives and live with their families afterwards? "We don't necessary chose our paths right of the bat we have secondary schools to go to." Although, a genin team, or other squadron fulfilling missions wasn't exactly secondary schools, but maa, oh well. The boy didn't need to know anything else.
Silence reign and Harry took this as his queue to start again as Haku wasn't going to elaborate or say anything farther. "Well... third year was –
"BOY! GIRL! Come down for dinner!" Vernon yelled.
Dinner was silent and Harry sat awkwardly at the table. Suddenly Momoichi stood up and Haku followed. "It was a nice dinner, Mrs. Dursley," Haku spoke with a bow. "But, we must be heading towards the inn now."
Inn..? Oh, she must mean Hotel.
"Well, then, we shouldn't hold you," Petunia said all too happily.
Zabuza grunted his appearance may be that of a sixteen year old, but it was just to fool the damn wizards and it was the only way that he could stay with Haku like always- hence why he wore the black arm band like his companion wore her own.
All too happily was the Dursley's standing heading them out towards the doors of their home. However, just as they were about to open the door Snape came back in with a crack.
"You two are ready to head to the hotel? Potter," he said addressing Harry. "I'll be back tomorrow to pick you up; do be ready to leave when I arrive."
Snape nodded and Zabuza placed an arm around Haku whilst Riri, flew outside searching and waiting.
Harry although didn't get to talk for long he felt that he knew Haku a little. But, it wasn't a lot. He couldn't wait for tomorrow he had a feeling that he would see his sister again.
"Well, freak..." Dudley said, "Looks like your sister isn't a freak like you. Maybe mom and dad made the wrong choice."
"Shut up!"
Dudley had a smug look on his face and his parents just watched uninterested.
"Boy, do the dishes and make sure the house is clean," Petunia hissed.
Harry scowled, just one more day and he'll be gone.
"I assume that something happened with your third member," Snape queried as they walked in the darkness.
A shriek and Riri soared pass landing on Haku's shoulders once more chewing on what was most likely her meal.
Zabuza grunted as he still held Haku close.
They stopped in front of some old looking apartment complexes. Snape threw them a key, "top floor unused for a while. I'm sure it should surface for the night. Goodnight, I'll see you again tomorrow and inform you if the second completion. Speaking of such, Dumbledore has accepted without suspicion."
Snape was met with a nod and a grunt. "Well, then tomorrow then," and he Apparated out of the complexes.
Once settled Haku stretched and snuggled in the sleeping bag. Zabuza placed an arm around her protectively. "You seem as though you were having better luck."
Haku chuckled, " Forgive me that I couldn't prevent the Dursley –
"Its fine," Zabuza said his baritone chuckle resounding throughout the small room causing Haku to shiver a bit. "What about the boy?"
Haku caressed Zabuza's arm that held the arm band. "He is interesting to say the least, but he is that of what Snape-san proclaimed."
Zabuza grunted, "Hn."
"Do you think it will work with this, Voldemort?" Haku asked referring to Snape's mission.
Zabuza didn't answer, but he didn't have to for they would find out tomorrow.
XXXX…
"Ssssseverus…. Why do you show at this time, now?" The voice was serpentine.
Severus hunched on one knee and bowed. "I apologize milord, but I have good news to report."
Lestrange snorted whether un-lady like.
"Enough," the snake-man said sickling calm; "What is this good newsssss?"
Snape held no defiance in his eyes as he spoke. "I have recruited two new members however; they will only assist in the war as they will attend Hogwarts without suspicion."
"You idiot!" Lestrange hollered. "WE don't need brats to fight after all, that school just holds pansies."
"Bellatrix," it was a warning and the woman shut up immediately. "You have my interest, Severus- the man patted the head of a snake who hissed in approval. "Continue."
Snape did so willingly. "I would like to teach them while am I in their presence. They come from Japan, sir, - The snake man looked as if possible ready to grab Bellatrix and kiss her. What news was this? Allies for the war, of course it mattered not at the moment that he met them just so long as they could help him win the war they would soon take place.
"And just who are our helping hand?"
Silence reigned and the man was about to pull out his wand, but…"The –Girl –Who-Lived and her companion(s)."
Snape was sure he heard a pen drop. Nah, maybe it was just his imagination, but the silence was deafening.
"WHAT?!"
Following Bellatrix outburst many death eaters and other allies of the 'Dark lord' muttered in whispers.
"I speak no lie milord," Snape spoke quieting the hall room down.
Voldemort held up his wand pointing towards Snape. For the first time the 'dark lord' didn't perform one of his curses. The man laughed with a hissy sound like silken water. Yes, the girl he could use to kill the boy! After all, the boy wouldn't dare attack the only family he had left, even if –Oh, this was perfect too perfect!
"You've done well, Ssseverus…"
The next morning, Snape strode in his dungeons picking up potions that lied around. Oh, he was trilled everything went smoothly and once he was done he had to report back to the fifth. Finishing up the last bit of cleaning Snape glanced at the time. Grabbing a scroll of parchment and quill /ink; he then threw some powder in his fireplace before mouthing 'Maple Street.'
Meanwhile Dumbledore had to go to the press after all he had an announcement to make.
"That is good news, Snape-san. The fifth will be pleased with the report; I'll have Riri send it." Snape nodded as he sat around the rectangular table, the quill writing everything he relayed to the two on the parchment.
Sure enough when the quill fell, Haku rolled it up and tied it to Riri. "Find the guards and take this to the fifth a.s.a.p."
With a shriek Riri flew out the open window and headed off.
Snape stood, "Let's get going."
XXX…
The Dursley's were trilled once the 'freak' was gone. "How are we getting there?" Harry asked and he regretted when Snape answered with Appparation.
The feeling of being torn apart by a twister quickly faded from Harry's mind as they stood in the familiar neighborhood Grimmauld Place, London.
Inside the house of number twelve-precisely the kitchen several people sat. They were waiting patiently, but a certain man by the name of Mad-Eye spoke. "Snape has returned with the boy and their not alone."
Sasuke brooded as he rapidly performed the hand seals. Damn it all! Oroichimaru was going to pay! How could be so stupid-?
Electricity crackled from his fingertips as a swirling current surrounded his hands.
So stupid to allow such filthy words to leave his mouth! Because of that sick lunatic he has to find a solution to fix his problem.
He charged forward the Chidori happily chirping through the air.
The only good news was that thanks to his temporary disposition he had a little time to think.
"Didn't I tell you to stop training," a sigh left Kakashi's mouth. "You're hard headed."
"Hasn't stopped me before," Sasuke coolly answered not looking at his sensei.
Kakashi let out an agitated sigh. "Listen Sasuke, I know for a fact that Oroichimaru had only a part in your actions. Because of what you did it will take a while and maybe not at all. You know Zabuza's chances are now spontaneous thanks to you."
A clank and a tree fell. Sasuke gritted his teeth. Did Kakashi honestly think he didn't know that already?!
"Then what do you suppose I do, huh?!"
Kakashi thought for a moment. "That I'm afraid I can't give you the answer to. You'll have to find out on your own," then with a poof he was gone.
Sasuke scowled. Oh, what help that was. (Censored) scarecrow! He figured that much from the beginning.
With instant transmission two guards appeared in the office with a beautiful gyrfalcon swooning by landing in front of the desk.
Tsunade unhook the report. She smirked very much pleased with the news. Both parties accepted without suspicion. Rolling the parchment back up Tsunade barked her orders, "Stay for a few minutes I have a new mission for Snape to take on. Second bring in Sasuke Uchiha."
N'cut! So much happened in this chap! What does Tsunade want Sasuke for? What will the reactions of the order be? Better yet, what will happen next? Companion(s) I purposely have it that way. Oh, the Dursley's meeting them was a onetime thing –personally it was a blow supposedly. Hope I got that across if not then ohwell. Tsunade had to be formal in her letter although she was itching to say 'brat'-XD!
'Stranger Magic' is where I got the idea to use the confringo joke. Let's see... Anything else…Mm… No, so-Oh, the black arm bands I'll explain it in next chapter.
Until next chapter; I'm out!
