Here I am, so the day is saved...not!

I can't believe...that this was the last regular day of school. I cannot believe it. It seems like only yesterday I walked into mrs. eubank's classroom for class introductions! Now, I'm going to become a freshman! O_O

I'm still not so sure about high school. <_<

In Art today, we played Pictionary. I had a couple of accurate guesses, but none of my team members noticed my ideas. And THAT'S why I hate socializing! ><

Me~ Um, hello?

*everyone ignores me and goes on witht their business*

Me~ Hello?

*chattering*

Me~ HELLO?!

*chattering*

Me~ I have officially become the Invisible Girl at our school. O_O

We were doing our last round when the bell suddenly rang. Oh well.

In Tennis, I played against Kirby and won, 6-1. ^_^

In Science, we reviewed. I got good grades on all my reviews, so that's good. ^_^

In Pre-Algebra, we did clickers for reviewing. I only missed ONE problem! One! XD

In English, we studied over our reviews and turned in my textbooks. I'll miss you, English textbook and History textbook. I won't see another copy of those until Kogatana comes home and brings it with him. T__T

In Computer Lit. we were taking a quiz on TechConnect, reviewing for the exam tommorow, and I ALMOST finished, until I tried turning to the next question and got a board message. T_T
Lots of other guys were having the same sort of problem, so our teacher said that maybe she should rethink about having the quiz on TechConnect tommorow, although I'd rather take it online than on a sheet of paper.

In American History, we reviewed and studied.

Yeah, today was pretty much Review Day here.

Heh...I was thinking about the newest episode of Naruto Shippuden...the way parts of Naruto were slowly appearing out of him, *snickers* Sasuke first as half of his face, Sakura out of his belly/stomach, Kakashi out of his shoulder, and Gaara out of his hand. The preview of it was funny, as Naruto was a 'patient'...

Nurse~ The next patient is Uzumaki Naruto-san.

Naruto~ Doc, you gotta help me! My body's--

Nurse~ Doctor, look at this!

Doctor~ Oh dear, you've got a serious dry skin problem.

Naruto~ No, not that!

Doctor~ Wow, that's the biggest wart I've ever seen!

Naruto~ What about this?!

Doctor~ Judging by the shape and texture, it looks like a huge carbuncle!

Naruto~ What do I do, doc?

Doctor~ You can relax, the baby’s doing fine!

Naruto~ Eh?

Nurse~ Congratulations!

Naruto~ But, but I’m a guy!

Heh heh…I kept on looking at that for 5 minutes. XD

Oh yeah, I loved the way Neji sounded when Tenten asked him who Hinata’s younger sister was.

Audience~ THREE, TWO, ONE…!

*Ding!*

Neji~ Hyuuga…Hinaba-san.

Me~ He sounded real hesitant there, didn’t he, Tenten?

Tenten~ He sure did! ^_^

Neji~ Did not! ><

Me~ And you call yourself a Hyuuga, not even knowing your future leader’s younger sister, let alone your younger cousin! XD

Neji~ …I am not ashamed. ><

I just loved the intro to the Naruto ‘lost episode.’ I’m putting it up right now! XD

Heh...I had no idea they'd use that for the intro at all! I thought they wouldn't do it at all... ^_^;

Well, I was just wandering around on Deviant-art, when I discovered that they put a Team Kakashi dress up game (Heh heh...uh, how that has that been here? ^_^;)

Here's the link, in case you're interested, and tell me what you think. Me, I think it's cute. :P

I think that's it...

Well, here's chapter 3! ^_^

Bye!

Chapter 3

“Come in.” Dumbledore spoke, looking up from his book.

Kakashi stood at the door, hands in his standard ANBU jacket. He looked unsure, though at the same time bristling with excitement.

Dumbledore raised one silver eyebrow. “Yes, Kakashi?”

Kakashi cleared his throat and took out his wand. It was a fine thing, made of supple holly, 12 inches, and with a core of dragon heartstring.

“Ano…Dumbledore-sensei…I am curious as to what the use of this stick is…”

Dumbledore smiled, blue eyes twinkling. “Perhaps it is time for you to learn…”

A while later, Kakashi stared disapprovingly at the three brats in front of him. Steel wire was wrapped around the three, one end of the wire was tied to one of the kunai he had thrown at them, and the other end was wrapped around his finger. They all looked scared, tied together like that. All three were staring, transfixed in horror at the armored figure in front of them.

Kakashi blinked, tightening the wire. The porcelain mask on his face looked demonic as it reflected the lights from a nearby torch. He had heard them even before he had seen them. The little brats were noisy, as they had walked downstairs seemingly confident that there was no guard at the entrance to the Gryffindor Common Room.

Kakashi proved them wrong. He had let them walk further, just until they were clear of the portrait hole, then he sent a wired kunai towards them, along with several other shurikens.

The result? Three trapped gakis, one he was supposed to protect, and the other two his friends. It was a shame too, he had hoped for better opponents, not three little gakis, one, a brown haired girl, even then had begun to sputter out an excuse.

“Save your excuses.” He began, cutting the brown haired girl off. “You don’t want to get killed, don’t walk around at night. I protect this school.” Kakashi narrowed his eyes, letting silence hang about a bit further. “All those who act suspiciously will be killed promptly and painfully. What are you three doing out here?”

The red haired boy, who had been staring at Kakashi in fear, slowly mumbled something about ‘visiting’ and ‘Hagrid’. The other two nodded their heads.

Kakashi blinked. Visiting Hagrid-san? In the middle of the night? Kakashi almost laughed. Those excuses were like Obito’s, lame and yet making sense.

“You three,” Kakashi began. “are nuisances to what I do. Tell me…” Kakashi murmured dangerously. “Any of you Gryffindors have a pair of trousers with holes in them?”

“That’s Fred and George!” The red haired boy yelled. The girl next to him nudged him sharply, and the boy’s mouth closed as he stared fearfully at Kakashi, realization kicking in.

Kakashi almost smiled. He settled for a small smirk and tilted his head slightly. “Fred and George? Do tell.”

The red haired boy looked sheepish.

Kakashi tugged on the steel wire. “Well, since I’ve caught you out of bed, I must report you to a…”

Here, the ANBU paused; seeming to listen only to something only he could hear. Quite suddenly, he cursed and shoved the three, still tied up together, away as a rain of kunai and shuriken descended from a broken window.

“Close your eyes, and whatever you do, DON’T OPEN THEM! You’ll regret it!” Kakashi hollered.

Kakashi bit back the cry of pain that he was holding as two shurikens hit him. Quickly, faster than the blink of an eye, he had taken out his own shurikens and threw them at his enemy. Twirling a kunai around his finger, he raced forward and seemingly vanished…only to appear behind the enemy, kunai around his throat.

As he slashed, however, the man turned into water. Kakashi cursed. Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu! Turning, he saw that the man had dashed towards Harry and the others. Without thinking, Kakashi ran after him and threw a kunai. It buried itself deep in the man’s leg, and the man fell down. Once the man was down, Kakashi leapt on him and slit the man’s throat without further notice. Blood splattered on the walls, on Kakashi and some even reached the children. The demonic mask had now become even more frightening, as there was now blood on it. There was a small gurgling sound. The man Kakashi had killed was trying to breathe. Kakashi, without any mercy, took a step forward and put pressure on the dying man’s throat with his sandaled foot. A small amount of blood had made it on Kakashi’s silver hair, and the ANBU reached up with a clean left hand and tried to wipe the blood off and failing.
Kakashi was alert again, and he dodged another set of shurikens. A second man clambered through the window, while his companion ran forward, intending to kill Kakashi with one stroke.

O-ushi, Usagi, Saru…
Ox, Hare, Monkey…

Lightning crackled in Kakashi’s hand, the sound it produced alike to the chirping of a thousand birds. Kakashi twirled the kunai in his other hand and ran forward, ducking the other ninja’s stroke and he then proceeded to slash this one upward, kunai cutting through flesh and muscle, blood spraying everywhere. Sidestepping to avoid the falling body, Kakashi made a mad dash to the one on the window.

Kakashi’s fist, cackling with lightning, cut through the second man’s abdomen, the fist cutting thorough flesh, blood and bone. More blood splattered on the ANBU.

“RAIKIRI!”

The second man seemed to writhe, seemingly trying to get Kakashi’s arm out of his body. There was a slight sound of someone gasping, and the other ninja fell forward, dead.

Kakashi tugged his arm out of the other ninja’s body and flicked the remnants of organs off his gloves.

A drop of blood, aided by gravity, fell off the tip of the Wolf mask and landed on the floor.

Hermione, Ron and Harry vomited. There was only the sound of blood dropping to the floor in little crimson beads.

Kakashi turned back to his captives. He cut the steel wire and nudged them with the hand that had the less amount of blood on it. Reaching a hand up to his mask, Kakashi spoke. “Look here.”

He tilted the mask to the right and opened his left eye. The three stared, transfixed on the blood red eye.

Sharingan.

The three tomoes rotated clockwise, luring the students into a sense of false security. Kakashi kept his left eye open as he spoke, the three students eyes had a glazed sort of look in them.

“You will not remember any of this incident, until time has seen fit for you to remember.” Kakashi intoned. With a snap, he closed his eye and flipped the mask back into place. The hypnotism technique had partially succeeded. They would see flashes of that memory, but until they saw fit to remember, they wouldn’t.

“Go. Teachers are coming.” Kakashi warned urgently. The three quickly complied, scrambling up as they fled.

Kakashi stared at the hidden passageway, where he knew, he could hear, the teachers were coming from.

“He saw us in the dark, it was as if he has eyes everywhere.” Hermione spoke. The half-giant was soaking wet; he had dove his head in the water barrel a while ago, to sober himself. Hagrid was about to shoo the three off when Hermione began talking about Kakashi.

The half giant blinked. “He did?” He asked, shocked. “Why, I was tha’ one ter escort ‘im here. But even then…” He trailed off. “Tha’ bloke felt funny.”

Harry sipped at the cup of tea Hagrid had offered him. “It was like…he didn’t belong here. For one, he didn’t have a wand.”

Ron nodded in agreement. “He creeped me out, the way he’s so heartless...imagine using steel wire on students!” Ron massaged his hand where the wire had held him bound.

Hermione sighed. “And Dumbledore hired him.”

Hagrid stood up and herded the three outside. “Now, don’t go an’ doubt Dumbledore. Why don’t ya ask him why he hired tha’ bloke?”

“Explain yourself!” McGonagall’s voice echoed in the blood-splattered hall, filled with rage. Kakashi stiffened, but kept silent. He merely rubbed off a bit of blood from his porcelain mask. Several other teachers, who had come in with the Deputy Headmistress, had immediately gagged upon seeing the mess Kakashi made.

“I found intruders. Had to deal with them.” The ANBU Wolf spoke gruffly. “I am not just any shinobi, McGonagall-san. I am ANBU. Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai. Assassination Tactics Special Squad.”

The usually stern looking witch’s face was now filled with anger. “But to do that in Hogwarts…!”

Kakashi cut her off with a raised hand. “If my services are no longer needed, I will go to Dumbledore-sensei to break my contract. I will receive my payment and your Potter boy will not be protected. But, if I should go, unpaid… My village… will slaughter this school and raze it to the ground.” Kakashi turned to stare at the body of the one he stepped on. “These men came for the boy.”

McGonagall seemed torn, but she finally spoke after a moment’s silence.

“…The contract is still…in effect.” She said. “But next time, if any of them are left alive, take them as prisoners.”

Kakashi nodded. “Hai. And, McGonagall-san…” Kakashi called out as Gryffindor’s head of House turned to leave. “Harry-kun went to visit Hagrid-san. Don’t worry about him.”

McGonagall nodded before leaving the scene.

Snape scowled. Kakashi scowled back, though it was unseen. The Potions Master stared at Kakashi with loathing for a moment before departing.

Kakashi took out the strange stick Dumbledore-sensei had given him. This stick was called a wand, if he could recall. The only difference was that ninjas had hand seals to use chakra/magic while wizards had their wands. Dumbledore had given him extra info upon his request, and now Kakashi knew a few spells too, no matter how weak.

For one, he would clean up. The movement Dumbledore-sensei told him to do was to swish and flick. He tried that without the words.

Was he swishing and flicking right? It seemed so. The ANBU decided to try it with words now.

Clearing his throat, Kakashi did the movement.

“Scourgify.”

Soapsuds emerged from the tip of the wand. The suds flowed up to the blood, and, to Kakashi’s mild amazement, cleaned up the splatter leaving the floor clean as if no one ever died.

So this was what it was like. Dumbledore-sensei had pointed out their likenesses. That chakra and magic were the same and that Kakashi could technically be a wizard himself, if he wanted to.

After casting Scourgify a bit more, to clean the blood off himself and his surroundings, Kakashi hauled the bodies outside to the courtyard and proceeded to burn the bodies with Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu.

Once he was sure he wasn’t being watched, Kakashi formed a seal with his hands and concentrated.

“Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!”

Four identical Kakashis appeared. The original Kakashi nodded in satisfaction. Dumbledore-sensei was right after all. Even after casting a spell, he could still do ninjutsu.

“Your task for tonight is to patrol the House entrances.” Kakashi began. His clones nodded and made a seal, except for one.

“Henge!”

A puff of smoke, and now Kakashi’s other clones had become his fellow ANBU. They stood in the moonlit courtyard, animal masks shining.

Hawk, Cat, Sheep and Wolf.

The Kage Bunshins scattered. Kakashi bit his thumb, summoned his nin-dogs again and gave them instructions to patrol the Castle as well.
