this as been redone so the spelling and stuff shouldn't be that bad you will have to tell me.

I own nothing I sold my soul to the God, he gave me a good deal to.

Shadow of darkness.

CH1

There was a knock on the door at 12:54. When Dumbledore said that this guard would be arriving at 12:54 they thought that he should have just said around one in the afternoon but at precisely 12:54 there was the guard.

He was shorter than expected at just five feet and four inches. He wore a black cloak, with a hood that hid his face and the only thing one could see besides the cloak was a sword, the handle poking over his left shoulder. He gave the impression of death, he even smelt like it. He was a sight which none of the wizards had expected, one would have thought that the guard would be a wizard but the sword said otherwise.

"I am Fox, Dumbledore-san asked me for my assistance for this year."

"Do come in Mr. Fox. I will show you to your bed room. Then I suppose you will be hungry so I will make you a light lunch if you wish," a plump red headed witch offered.

"Thank you Mrs. Weasley, I would appreciate it," the witch was shocked that he already knew her name.

...

Fox came in to the kitchen where he was joined by Harry Potter, a boy of fifteen years. Harry has messy black hair with piercing green eyes; he was often told he had his mother's eyes. As Fox entered the room Harry noticed two things about him. One thing was that Fox had a hot body… that is to say, fit and heath body and two he was limping.

Also in the room were Ronald Weasley (his friends call him Ron) and his sister Ginny, Sirius Black (Harry's Godfather) and Hermione Granger. Ron Weasley was a tall and lanky boy with flaming red hair and subtle blue eyes. He was the tallest in the trio of himself Harry and Hermione. Ginny looked like her brother in that she had flaming red hair but her eyes were a soft brown. She was around fourteen so she wasn't yet tall but she was getting there. Sirius Black was also a tall man in his mid thirties. It was only two years ago he had escaped from Azkaban, a wizard prison. He still had the sunken look but he looked a lot healthier. Hermione Granger was a short know it all. Her hair was always messy and her two front teeth were slightly larger than the rest in her mouth. Even though she was an insufferable know-it-all she still had two good friends in Harry and Ron. They were the only people in number twelve Grimmauld Place at the moment, as well as Mrs. Weasley.

Fox had removed his cloak and it was apparent that he was wearing black tight leather trousers, a long sleeved fish net shirt, which showed off his muscled body, and black arm warmers that had metal plates on them to protect his forearms. The sword remained where it was while, a now visible, white mask of a Fox where his face was supposed to be.

The Fox looked as though it was grinning manically. His blond hair was pulled back in to a tight pony tail, which had something metal tied in to the bottom, which was at hip level. Fox-san came and sat by Harry and once again Harry was the only one to notice a slight twitch of pain as he sat down. Mrs. Weasley laid a sandwich in front of him.

"Thank you," Fox said.

"Bloody hell he's got longer hair than you Hermione!" Ron blurted out.

"Ronald!" Mrs. Weasley said as she slapped him around the back of the head.

"It is okay Mrs. Weasley. I get it a lot," Fox-san said as he sat and looked at his meal. He realized that to eat it the other must see his face. He hesitated before slowly reaching up with his hands and unclipping his mask.

This revealed a young face which could be no old then fifteen and had six scars on his face that looked like whiskers. Harry was sure that the scars were a mark of torture, there was no other explanation for someone getting marks like that for they were so precise, they were not jagged like they should be. He also had fangs, which was not right, and they were at least an inch long. His pupil's weren't completely round either and the rest of his eyes had a yellowish tint. He was also, to Harry, the meaning of the word cute.

Everyone in the room, apart from Harry who was almost drooling, decided that Fox was far too young for being a guard. He seemed too young to kill a person and this poor child was probably going to be killed by something he probably only found out about a few days ago. Mrs. Weasley was horrified that someone would ask a child to fight and give his life for anything. Though the weirdest thing about him was not that he was so young, but the fact that there were no other marks on him except the six scars on his cheeks.

"But you're our age! How can you protect Harry?" inquired a surprised Ron.

"I am not a child. Not where I come from at least. In my own country I am counted as an adult. I may be fifteen but that is still an adult. The protection part is easier. I am not necessarily a Wizard. I am in fact a Ninja," Naruto told them confident their question would end there.

"Hahaha! Pull the other one why don't you! Ninja's haven't been around for hundreds of years!" Hermione remarked.

"Says the witch," Fox said to himself and sighed before continuing in a retort, "Oh, so I know who the smart arse is then! You are wrong Miss Granger. They were reported gone a long time ago yes, but we still live, in secret. So no you wouldn't know of my kind you silly little girl!" Hermione's mouth became an O with her shock and bemusement. She tried to think of a reply but her mouth opened and closed several times until she gave up.

"This is my life that I chose at six. The academy is free to all but only a few out of each year manage to pass to the gennin level."

"But aren't you scared that you'll die?" Hermione asked.

"If it for a good cause, then no. Death happens."

"Doesn't that upset you? Accepting you own death?" asked Ginny

"I accepted that I could die, death is a fact, it's just how and when, and I think I still have a couple years yet." This is where Hermione thought that she had him, he seemed all right but her brain told her he was to young, that he had not really been to war since the last war was a long time ago and he was a muggle so would not last against a wizard.

"I don't believe it, and if what you say is true it doesn't matter wizards have more power then muggles, so you can't possibly hope to win"

"She's right, you should go home and we can find someone else."

"Wizards are more powerful then muggles, yes but I can't remember saying I was a muggle"

"You're a wizard?" Questioned Ron in surprise, "but Dumbledore said you weren't one!"

"No, I am not a wizard. I am as I have said a Ninja, did you not listen? Wizards seem weak compared to us," Naruto said snidely.

"Are you saying I am weak?" Sirius violently stood up and drew his wand.

"No. I said seem weak. Wizards use magic for many things, but fighting is only a small part of it. Wizards are not meant for war. Ninjas use a type of Magic, called Chakra which is used only for fighting and nothing more. Saying that, I do have a wand and can do a lot with it, only I am not useless without it," Fox retorted.

"But Ninjas couldn't do magic!" chimed in Hermione who was starting to get aggravated.

"You're still using past tense," Hermione spun around to see Fox standing on the ceiling.

"How the hell did you get there?" Ron shouted.

"Training. I would call this a type of magic. Wouldn't you?" He then turned to Mrs. Weasley and said, "It was a lovely sandwich Mrs. Weasley. Now I know a lot about the wizarding world but not everything, so I will be in my room reading." At this Fox disappeared in a swirl of leaves. After the initial shock left them, there was silence.

"Harry you've been very quit since Fox-san arrived," Ginny said.

"I want to know," said Harry turning to the order members "what it is he is guarding, me or the school, and which bedroom is he in,"

"Well… you see he is guarding the school but the best way to guard something is to guard where it will most likely be attacked, so it will feel that he is guarding you more than anyone else and he's sharing a room with you and Ron." Ron groaned at that, and Harry did not seem to care but on the inside he was doing a happy dance. He was going to spend a year with a hot guy. Did he just think that? No it must be a mistake.

...

Later Harry and Ron went to bed as they came in Fox was putting a book away, they did not see the book that well but Harry managed to get a quick glance and noticed it was about the dark arts.

"So Fox-san, why don't you tell us about yourself?" Harry asked

"Please call me Naruto I am only Fox when working," Naruto said in an overly happy way, and so Harry, Ron and Naruto sat and talked to each other about themselves. Naruto left a lot out.

When they went to bed, Harry gave a little bit more attention to Naruto's body than was needed. This got him a knowing smirk from Naruto, so he hid under his sheets, which got him an odd look from Ron.

so there you go again, hope this is spelled better I cant tell since I cant spell to begin with.
