A/N: O_O I have been gone from writting for a VERY long time and for that I apologise! This though, I'm greatly pround of. The end of the chapter is my favorite, but I loved it all. Gosh I'm getting full of myself, I really would rather know what you think. Sorry once again that It took SO long, but here it is and I hope you all enjoy! ^___^

DISCLAIMER! : I do not own either Magical Harry potter or the kickass Naruto (because I fail at life =P) lo

The sudden pull from behind the naval and suddenly they were sent hurdling, through what the four of them could only guess was time-space. The ability to tell which way was up and which way was down was lost almost instantly and would only return minutes- or was it only moments?- later, when they were suddenly pulled, in a direction that soon became down as the ground began to materialized below.

It wasn't just falling from the sky, other wise the four ninjas would have had no problem landing safely but there seemed to be some sort of force pushing downward that appeared set on making the task impossible. Even Kakashi had landed in a crouched down position, having to use both hands to keep balance so you can only imagine how well the younger ninja faired.

Sakura, with the sudden realization that she was plunging head first toward the ground at an alarming rate, twisted the best she could to straighted out and land feet first before she ran out of time. She did, but with only a few feet to spare before her feet made contact and when they did the force pushing down didn't just cease, but rather continued and force her to the ground completely and caused her to slide on her side a few feet. Momentarily she was at a loss for breath because the impact, but this being a sensation frequently encountered in fights back home, she quickly recovered.

With a grunt of annoyance she sat up, looking around at her companions and watched as Naruto was bent over, his back to her, whilst she was left to imagine he was losing the lunch he had decided to scarf down before they left; that thought made her cringe as disgust washed over her face. With a slight shake of her head, she lifted her arm and looked at the side of her tank-top, instantly regretting wearing white for there was now dirt as well as grass stains streaked down from her shoulder to her waist.

Making her way to stand, Sakura suddenly felt an hand grip on her arm, aiding her to her feet. This caused her to stop momentarily and glance up at her aid. Looking up she saw the steely cool face of Sasuke, not sparing a look in her direction but rather continued to look straight ahead.

When she made it to her feet she brushed off her usual black shorts with her hands when she heard his voice, "You alright?" His voice came out as flat as usual but was taken aback slightly when she realized that he had turned his head and was looking down at her; he had at least a good 4 to 5 inches on her.

"Yeah... I'm alright. I can't say the same for my shirt." She says a hint of annoyance returning to her voice as she stole another glance at the new stains. "... And it was new too." she added defeated under her breath. Sasuke at hearing this, shook his head ever so slightly at her childishness, going unnoticed by Sakura, before it feel back to its normal hard expression as soon as he heard Kakashi call for there attention.

"Alright you three," he says as they begin to walk toward them. "We're to meet our client, Albus Dumbledore, at The Leaking the Cauldron. According to the letter it shouldn't be too far from where we are now, that is if we are where we're supposed to be." He peers around with his single viable eye; the sharingan covered by an eye patch. "Assuming that we are, I think that it would be best we move out." The three teens nodded in response as Kakashi turned to leave.

The three began to follow suit, but Sakura paused in her stride for a moment to look around at her surroundings. It really was a dreary place they'd landed in. A small plot of land that someone may have planned on building upon at one point, but that was long ago. Now, there was the single tree that didn't seem to be fairing to well, light here was limited by the tall, overbearing, crammed together buildings that had been built up around it. The fact that the sky was overcast really wasn't helping to make this not such a dismal scene in the young girls mind.

"Sakura-chan!" she heard Naruto exclaim from behind her. Turning, she realized that Naruto stood with Sasuke and Kakashi at the opening to the only entrance to this desolate square. The opening being a small alley that no more then two people could walk down side by side due to it's narrowness. When he gave a wave in her direction signaling her to get moving, she took one last look around the square before walking off toward her team, a small smile played on her lips despite the saddening backdrop.

As her pace picked up, her usual knee-high combat boots left a single print in the soft ground before stepping onto the stone that lead into the alley.

Walking down the side streets of London, Kakashi observed the people who passed them ever so often. He was coming to the same conclusion that the other ninja were, these people were what the wizards refer to as 'muggles'. This revelation had caused him to think back on the fact that they may have indeed somehow showed up in the wrong place, but he kept this thought to himself.

They did not ask anyone for directions, even after they had been walking for sometime. Rather they allowed instinct guide them to there destination. The less people that noticed them the better.

After walking a few more streets Kakashi finally noticed a small sign hanging out from a door around 50 meters ahead that read 'The Leaky Cauldron'. Looking over his shoulder slightly, catching Sasuke's eye, he motioned his head forward to signal that there destination was up ahead. Sasuke then turned to Sakura and Naruto, looking them both in the eyes for a few moments and they to were a where they were almost there.

Albus Dumbledore sat back in the corner of the small inn that was referred to as The Leaky Cauldron. He had a small cup of tea in front off him, and sat casually reading the latest edition of The Daily Prophet. Taking a sip from the small cup, he didn't appear disgruntled by what was being said, but rather he appeared to be reading just to read.

Suddenly the sound of the inn door opening near the empty bar and he glanced gingerly over the top of the paper, a small smile on his face as he observed the new visitors. He took extra time to watch how they carried themselves, then he set the paper down and proceeded to stand. 'Yes... They're defiantly ninja.' he thought, feeling there eyes on him immediately.

Sakura watched as the old man from the corner got up and began toward them. As she looked at him, there seemed to be an air of wisdom to him, like he knew more then you would ever imagine one person could. The mere thought of it made him think back on what she could remember of the late Third Hokage. There was definatly a parallel going on there.

"Well... I'm guessing your here to protect a certain Harry Potter?" Dumbledore inquired, already knowing the answer.

"Albus Dumbledore?" Kakashi asked, searching for a final confirmation.

"That is correct. It is good to see you all have arrived in one piece. Now I may I ask for an introduction?"

Kakashi nodded in response, "I'm Kakashi Hatake, I will be the one who will be watching from afar and sort out the mission details. This is Naruto Uzumaki, " he said nodding toward Naruto, who was wearing a welcoming grin upon his face. "Sasuke Uchiha," Sasuke gave a curt nod but his face remained the same. "And Sakura Haruno."

"Sir." She says with a slight bow, a small smile upon her delicate as she did so.

"These three will be the ones attending school along side Harry, if that is still the plan?"

"Miss Haruno," she looked toward the elder wizard, "how old are you three?" She seemed a bit confused at first, but answered once she put it together in her head.

"We're all seventeen, sir."

"Ah, well then things will continue as originally planned. Now, its quite late. I took the liberty of arranging rooms for you already. I got two rooms, not sure how many of you would get sent so I made sure one room hand multiple beds in case there were more of you. It seems I made a fair guess on my part." Then he smiled once more, a small twinkle in his eye as he looked over the young ninja before him. "Room 14 and 15." he says handing one key to Kakashi and the other to Sakura. "Now Mr. Hatake, do you wish to cover more of the mission in detail now?"

"Yes."

"Then lets head to a more secure location, come with me. You three may retire to your room, Mr. Hatake will fill you in in the morning. Goodnight." he said with a curt nod of his own before walking out of the room, Kakashi following after.

Later That Night

Sakura lied awake in her bed staring blankly at the ceiling above. She was on the right side of the room, Sasuke got the middle and Naruto was snoring on the far side of the room from her. Rubbing her eye's once more with her hands she sighed, she had no time it was and had absolutely no desire to search for a clock. After all, she hadn't noticed one in there room earlier.

She knew that she better get at least a bit of shut eye before the sun rose and Kakashi was at the door ready to brief them on what he discussed with Dumbledore the night before. He was never punctual except for on important missions, and was for sure that this was one of those based off his demeanor when he met the client.

But sleep wished not to visit her this night. Instead her mind kept floating back to that bleak square of land that they had arrived on. It was strange really, she had always seemed to be a bright person, she'd seen a lot of bad things in her time and been through a lot of things personally but normally had a mostly cheery disposition, even if it was just a guise to keep others from worrying, so to feel so draw to a so obviously dismal place was strange. It almost seemed like it was a comfort... 'That's it...' she thought, 'I really need to get some sleep..'

It had no more then a few moments after she had rolled over for the umpteenth time in an attempt to get comfortable, when she heard stirring from a neighboring bed.

"What are you doing up?" The male asked, his eyes falling on her wide awake face.

"Couldn't sleep..." she replied, her eyes staring at the ceiling once more.

"You okay?" He inquired at the look on her face, not even he could miss the look of agitation that washed over her face momentarily, even in the dark.

"Yeah... Just got a lot on my mind. That and for some reason, no matter how I lay on this damn bed I can't seem to get comfortable." she says, her voice barely a whisper. Then the room fell back to quiet for a few before he spoke once more.

"About what?" he asked through the silence, a few moments later he got a confused reply.

"What 'about what'?" she asked back, skirting around the topic.

"What are you thinking?" he said trying to get to the point.

Sakura glared at him slightly, "You're sure asking a lot of questions, aren't you?" He rolled his eyes slightly at this, a gesture that went unnoticed in the dark. Then she looked away, "Besides it's stupid anyways." When her eyes met his again he gave her a look that conveyed 'you should continue anyways'. With a sigh of defeat she continued, "Fine. I just keep seeing that lot that we landed in, inside my head. It's really odd, it won't leave me alone."

"Mhm..." He replied respectively, allowing her to continue.

"I don't know, maybe I hit my head when I landed or something," with that she laughed slightly. "I know that it was just an forgotten lot, real creepy at that, but I felt... comfortable? I don't know it was just so strange... You know? I just want to be able to sleep." Then the room feel silent again for a short while.

"Hmm... Maybe you should distract yourself from thinking about it." He says, relaxing back into his bed.

"And how do you suppose I do that?" Her tone disbelieving.

"Try to think about something thats been able to distract you from almost anything before and maybe it will keep your mind off that lot long enough to sleep." Sakura didn't reply right away like he had expected, he'd expected some sort of disbelieving retort again.

Sakura began to think back on what he'd just advised for her, then suddenly his face began to float into her mind and she tried to crush it, 'No... No... Not..' she thought, and in that moment she was thankful that the room was as dark as it was, for she began to feel heat rising to her cheeks and could feel his eyes on her face.

"O-okay, I'll give it a try..." she says turning her back to him, looking like she was trying to get comfortable.

Turning over on his own bed, "Goodnight, Sakura."

"Night, Sasuke-kun..." She replies, her mind no longer on that dreaded lot.
