What better way to twist plots of well lain-out story lines than a less than thought out fan fiction? Ha ha!

When a good book series and a popular anime/manga series collide, what can come of it but a crossover?! Is it cool or what?! (or are you bored to tears of crossovers??)

Kakashi stared down at the letter he held limply in his hand. Having read it five times over, he knew it by heart, and yet he still couldn't quite believe it. What was Hokage-san thinking?

Kakashi-san, it began, in the smooth handwriting that was the Third's.

Kakashi-san,

It is unexpected, but I require your services. A good friend of mine has sent in a request. He has asked for a guard to protect the school he is headmaster at. We go far back, and I hate not to help him. I would be glad if you accept, but I can find a replacement if it is not your desire to go. The school is far off. You'd need to learn a new language.

Please reply,

Sarutobi

A mission? To a 'far off' school? Kakashi was trained to battle, not to guard some boarding school. Especially one he had no clue it existed.

But, he thought, sighing, what else was there to do? His eyes flickered down to the P.S. that had been added.

I forget to mention, but I'm sending two ninja on this mission. You'd have company!

Company. There was an idea…

"Eh," Kakashi grunted, getting a pen and piece of paper. At his desk, he scrawled out a quick letter.

Hokage-san,

I agree.

Kakashi

The Third Hokage had a nice office, thank you very much. The comfortable seat behind the roomy desk in the large room kept him content as he did the one thing that killed the mood; paperwork. His mentors had often let slip a groan or two, but they never whined. Out loud, at any rate.

A knock at his door jerked him from nostalgia. Donning his favorite pipe, he called, "Come in,"

The door opened to reveal Kakashi, in his black ANBU uniform jacket. Alongside him, stood Genma.

"Ah," Sarutobi said happily. "Come in, you two, sit down."

As usual, a senbon hung out of Genma's mouth as he and his comrade each sat down in on the firm armchairs in front of their Hokage's desk.

"You each received a notice," The Third began, "concerning the guarding of my colleague's school."

They nodded at the same time.

"It is different than most schools, where you learn neither academics nor skills required to be a shinobi."

He puffed at his pipe.

"It is a school of magic and sorcery. Wizards and witches from age eleven to seventeen attend it. In recent times, a powerful wizard has risen to power for a second time. He has targeted a student whom he despises entirely. Dumbledore-san has asked for our help."

He eyed the two ANBU carefully.

"By accepting this mission, you'll be away from home for a year. Are you sure about your decisions?"

"Yes," Kakashi said.

"Yup," Genma said.

The Sandaime nodded. "Good. Kakashi, you may go."

As Kakashi stood, his Hokage tossed him a thick envelope.

"It has details," He explained. He waved. "Goodbye."

He waited until Kakashi had shut the door behind him to stare intently at Genma. The brunette shifted slightly.

"I have a favor to ask, Genma."

"Sir?"

Sarutobi leaned back in his chair.

"Kakashi has had a rough time his whole life. Can you make sure nothing happens that may cause him to do something…drastic?"

Genma nodded, adding a salute with a slightly crooked smirk.

"Thank you. Here-"

He tossed Genma an envelope like the one he had given Kakashi.

"Be prepared, Genma."
