The Elemental Fox COMPLETED

Chapter 2

Harry sat quietly within his cage, his tails swishing with a look on his face that was worthy of any Marauder. If those idiots had looked at Harry this moment they would have ran for the hills.

'It seems like I'm going on some sort of boat' Harry thought to himself as he heard the yells of sailors and the cries of seagulls.

"Mr. Gato are you sure we should do this?"

Hearing this Harry's ears swivelled on top of his head to the direction where the voice came from.

"Of course! Well make it so those idiots in Wave country will have bad weather then well make our move," the man, Harry thought this was 'Mr. Gato', said in what seemed to be a greedy voice.

"But how will we do that? Won't the animal run away?" Harry heard the same man ask 'Mr. Gato'.

"You idiot, did you forget about that collar I had placed on the creature?"

"Yeah...oh! It stops him from running away and makes him be at our control!" the man that Harry dubbed as 'the idiot' said.

Harry looked down at the collar that was around his neck, glad for once that he had been malnourished as a child.

Harry listened to Mr. Gato and the idiot for a bit until a load boat whistle was heard and he found himself being moved onto what felt and what he could see though the bars of his cage a large boat where he was placed to a corner on the deck and his cage strapped down with what appeared to be more ninja wearing masks stood guard over him.

Hearing some noise above him Harry looked up to see a male in what appeared to be a white oval mask with two red wiggle lines on it looking down into his cage. Harry watched as the male pulled out some of sandwiches out of his pocket, ripped a bit off and poked it through the bars for Harry to get at.

"Go on and eat Fox-san, we can't let something as beautiful as you die," the male said and Harry mused that the man's voice sounded oddly feminine "I haven't poisoned the food or anything."

Using his Gryffindor courage Harry nibbled on the sandwich (which was ham) and soon man had given him the whole sandwich and was stroking Harry the best he could though the bars.

"Mr. Gato told me that we would be working together for awhile so it's good that we get off on the right foot," the male in a kind tone as Harry finished the last of the sandwich off.

"You managed to tame the beast then?" Mr. Gato's voice said from behind them.

"Yes sir," the male said with a bow "I believe with our skills that we could work well together."

"So this is the fox then?" a new voice said.

Looking in the direction the new voice came from Harry saw a tall man that had a well muscled chest and bandages wrapped around his neck and lower part of his face, the man was only wearing trousers with what appeared to be the default foot wear, sandals, lots of hair that seemed to be in points that was pointing in every direction with a giant sword strapped to his back and what appeared to be arm warmers/protectors that ran from the tips of his fingers to his elbows.

"Yes Zabuza-sama, this is the fox though he will need a name," the male with the Eagle mask on said as he lifted the top of the cage open and lifted Harry out of the cage.

Making the most of this Harry stretched his body so his tails was flicking around the male's ankles and feet as his head rested on the males shoulder with his nose buried into the male's neck and taking in the smell of herbs and ice.

"Well are you going to take him with you? It seems that Wave country is already having bad weather and with my power it will soon fall," Gato said with greed dancing in his eyes "Through if you don't think the fox will be of any help I could always find some use for it."

Not liking the look that Gato was giving the fox that had wrapped itself around Haku and was happily purring as he got stroked Zabuza made up his mind quite quickly especially after seeing how happy that fox made his tool.

"The fox will be coming with us," Zabuza said gaining a look of gratitude from his tool "Through he will need a name."

Harry allowed the male, now known as Haku, lift his head up so they could see eye to eye after what seemed to be a long time Haku finally broke off and looked at Zabuza.

"His name will be Yuki," Haku said as he changed the newly named Yuki's body around so Yuki's body was lying comfortably on Haku's body but still allowed Haku to move about.

With a quick Justu Haku had changed the name tag from being blank to having 'Name: Yuki, Owners: Haku and Zabuza' upon it.

"Yuki huh?" Zabuza asked as they started to make their way down to their cabin "If I'm right it means snow right? But doesn't the fox have black fur not white?"

"I know," Haku said as he allowed Yuki to move his head around so he could watch everything they past "I didn't name him for the colour of his fur or anything."

Zabuza and Haku passed in their conversation as they did a justu to safely unlock their room and then entered.

"Oh and just what was the reason for naming the fox 'Yuki' for?" Zabuza asked as Haku replaced the justu one their door.

"Yuki is pure like the snow yet powerful like snow," Haku said with a smile at Zabuza as he walked out of the room and into their mini-kitchen to prepare them some food.

"Stupid kid and now we also have a stupid fox," Zabuza muttered as he entered the kitchen.
