“Mr. Potter clearly knows who you-know-who is. The objection is baseless” Forswythe replied, not looking amused at all.

Grandmother Mito shivered as the tail retracted and went right back into my body.
“I will never understand how you manage to work with that thing” She said, and there was actual hate in her voice.
“The Kyuubi and I understand each other well” I said, an understatement. We ha...

I ignored the way she screamed in rage and rushed at me. Someone from her own side got a hold of her before she decided to commit suicide by Firebender. One of the more ridiculous ways to die. At least that was something.

“Drums” I commanded once we were in hearing range. The man beside me began to play, signaling to the other drummers on the other ships to begin to bang their own drums to the tune as well. The drums were to signal one of the oldest fire nation customs. It took three rounds, before w...

“Now we can go to school, kid” I said, standing back up and walking over to pick ups her school pack from Mito, and passing it over to her. Even with all the offers that Mito had refused, Kushina was still scheduled to graduate this year at the ripe old age of 9. Older than I was when I’d l...

“Good. So that means you agree with me that a person who lacked the dark mark would not be subject to the Act?”

“If only I could” I replied with a chuckle, leaning over to ruffle her hair. She slapped my hand away. Sadly, Toji had gotten to my little munchkin. For a blind kid, she cared about her appearance a bit too much.

“What can you tell us about Mr. Black’s escape?” He asked.

Dumbledore was wearing a set of maroon robes with stars all around them— stars that moved of their accord in some sort of intricate dance. If anyone had expected the man to wear something a bit less garish for opting as serious as an ICW meeting, then they would be sorely disappointed. His entr...

When I woke up, I was in a grassy field. I could tell that the grass went on for farther than the eye could see. I was naked, but that didn’t seem to matter. Nothing seemed to matter to this place. I spotted a hill, and I just knew that I had to crest it. I took off on a run, and n...
