Team Choza
Padfoot trotted back into the hospital room. He went and sat at the foot of Kakashi's bed, startling the teen ninjas.
"How does he do that?" asked Obito. Rin shrugged.
"Magic, you know!" exclaimed Kushina, then frowned as she heard three voices coming from the hallway.
"They should all be expelled!" snapped a female voice.
"Where I am from they would be praised for their bravery," snapped back a very mad Minato.
"And where is that? Who are you? Why are you here?" inquired the same woman.
"Professor Namikaze is here because I asked him to be. He will be taking over the defense against the dark arts position. He saved my students for which he has my gratitude. Now Dolores. You have tendered your resignation, so my students are none of your concern," replied a patient voice.
"I will leave after I check on my darling former students," said Dolores, sweetness covering the anger in her voice. She burst into the room a minute later.
"What is a dog doing in a hospital?!" she shouted, as Padfoot growled.
"He's my ninken. He stays with me," came the reply from a waking Kakashi.
"You should train him better! He's growling at me, a complete stranger!" fumed Umbridge.
"It's cause you are loud and I'm sleeping," said the teen before he rolled over and faced the wall.
"Well I never...Nurse that dog has to go!" demanded Umbridge. The wizards are drew back when a dark pressure started through out the room.
"I said my ninken stays with me." said Kakashi, facing her again, this time with both eyes open. Harry would later swear that the red eye started spinning. Umbridge whimpered.
"Kakashi Hatake you stop that!" snapped Kushina. The pressure vanished and the teen turned back to the wall, ignoring the room's other occupants. Umbridge turned and left very quickly and very quietly. The wizards noted she was very pale.
"I see everyone is awake. Professor Namikaze said he will be back in awhile, after he sorted out a few things. Now the question is what to do with everyone. Suggestions?" asked Dumbledore.
"For the time being shouldn't all the kids go back to Hogwarts?" asked Molly, referring to the fact that there was still about two months left of the school term and Hogwarts was still the safest place for the kids.
"Yes! We haven't even started exams!" said Hermione, earning a groan from Ron, Harry, and even Obito.
"But we just got here...we shouldn't have to take exams!" said Obito.
"Please tell me you read the mission request scroll we gave you..." said Rin, knowing he hadn't.
"Kakashi read it..." whined Obito.
"Just because you share a sharingan doesn't mean it works that way," stated Rin.
"You have to take the ones next year, not this year," explained Kushina.
"So we are gonna be students protecting students?" asked Obito.
"Yes. You were assigned to Ron, I was assigned to Hermione, Kakashi was assigned to Harry," explained Rin.
"We don't need babysitters. We are fine!" said Ron.
"Ron, we could have died tonight," said Ginny.
"Sirius would have died without their help," threw in Tonks.
"You kids don't think. You are reckless, always throwing yourselves into harm's way. We thought it was necessary," stated Molly. The wizard teens looked ashamed.
"Professor Namikaze has went and retrieved four more ninja to assist us. Now we must protect Miss Ginny, Miss Luna, and Mister Neville as well," said Dumbledore.
"I wonder who Sensei is getting," said Rin.
"Dynamic Entry!" shouted a green blur, launching itself at Kakashi's prone form.
"And that answers that question. Next?" said a very much awake Kakashi as he stood holding Maito Guy against the wall.
"Team Choza is not so bad," said Rin.
"No, Genma is not bad. The other two are questionable," said the Uchiha
"Could you let my teammate go, Kakashi? I believe he has calmed down a bit," said Genma as he appeared in the middle of the room.
Ebisu appeared a second later, then Minato appeared with a brown haired boy belonging to neither team.
"I believe this is everyone, Professor," said Minato as he did a mental head count.
"Very well. Due to Voldemort becoming bolder I have taken the liberty of hiring ninja to protect you six and the school. Professor Namikaze will be teaching defense against the dark arts and Miss Uzumaki will be assisting Hagrid with the care of magical creatures classes. The rest will be blending in with the student body as students and yet will still act as your bodyguards. Professor Namikaze if you will do the pairings?" said Dumbledore, taking a step towards Minato as the younger man pulled a scroll from his vest.
"Right. You will be grouped as follows: Kakashi and Tenzo will be with Harry Potter, Rin with Hermione Granger, Obito with Ronald Weasley, Genma with Ginny Weasley, Ebisu with Neville Longbottom, and Guy with Luna Lovegood. Any questions, comments, or concerns?" said Minato as he looked up from reading his scroll. Everyone with the exception of Kushina, Dumbledore, and Minato raised their hand.
"Of course," said Minato, resisting the urge to facepalm.
