Chapter Twelve - Kreacher/Kled's Mission

August 12, 1988, Azrael Black, 8 years old

- "Master Black, the first girl is already being taken to the church to be exorcised," - Kled warned me.

- "I understand. Prepare the traslador to the United States" - I told him, and he nodded.

It was interesting to know that one of the three girls I chose to become my three most loyal minions, was going to be taken to a church for exorcism, as far as I knew, Kled had mentioned to me that the matron of the orphanage had made that decision a week before after the girl started having episodes of accidental magic, which led her to think that she was possessed by a demon and as a result she was going to be taken to be exorcised.

It was then that I had told Kled to warn me when she was taken so that I could intervene in the course of that journey. Furthermore, it was a basic tactic used by Hiruzen Sarutobi to make the last valuable orphaned members loyal to their village, for example.

The first was Tsunade, after Nawaki died, she suspected Danzo or Hiruzen of causing that death and thus used Kato Dan to comfort her at her most fragile moment so that Tsunade would still have someone in the village to procreate the next Senju.

The second was Kushina, as a jinchuriki and Uzumaki should have anbu surveillance, but curiously that night she was kidnapped by "Kumo" which I suspect were normal or root anbus and so Minato saved her, so she had her Prince of Konoha who never helped her ever, not to mention she could defeat chunin or jounin of "Kumo" being a genin which I don't believe her and they made her loyal to Konoha.

The third was obviously Naruto and how the Hokage brainwashed him into wanting to be Hokage even though everyone treats him like shit.

Anyway, the point remained the same, it was to help those three girls that I put in those horrible situations so that their Prince Charming would appear and save them. I had already had a presence in them before, a meeting occasionally, I knew that they remembered me, they remembered the only person who smiled at them and gave them a helping hand in those critical moments. Though I suppose it is time for the first of the three to bring her home.

POV Kreacher

He had an important mission given to him by his Lord and master. A mission that, although he was more than proud to be given a mission that his master considered to be of great importance, the purpose of the mission displeased him greatly and the reason for that was summed up in one word. Muggle.

Why Master Black was so interested in those filthy, unmagical beings, he did not understand, but an order was an order, and all the more so if it took precedence. So with that said he went to Borgin and Burkes' shop, where they had already left an order for a translator to America, after all, even if he could use apparition, he couldn't get to another continent.

After getting the shuttle, which was no problem as Borgin had known him for a long time from running errands for the Black family, he arrived in America. His targets were three girls of 4 or 5 years old, depending on their birthday month of course.

Searching for them was difficult, his master gave him the locations of the cities where they lived, but he would have to search for them house by house. For his master to have that information, he had to pull out almost forgotten memories according to him that he got at some point on Wikipedia, he didn't know what that was, but it had taken its time until he started to tell him the names and cities of the girls.

The first was in McCombs, Mississippi. The girl's name was Britney Jean Spears, her age should be 4 years old since she was almost the end of the year, and her appearance was that of a girl with light brown eyes and blonde hair. No doubt it would be a long search, but compared to one who lived in New York and another in Houston, Texas, she would be the quickest to find.

It took a year and a few months to find the three girls, when the most difficult part of his mission was over, he continued to look for similar appearances of the girls with three orphan girls and exchange them. That was a little easier since looking for girls of their age and similar appearances was no big deal, although the most complicated part of that phase of the plan was to change the memories of the girls' parents and make the orphan girls take the place of their real daughters, and it was the same when he had to leave the girls at the orphanage and change the memories of the orphan girls at the orphanage.

By then, the third phase of the mission began, and without doubt, its most exciting part. It was the cruelty with which the girls would be treated, of course, he had to see to it that there were limits, his master gave him a list of things he should intervene in so that they would not happen to the girls, but he was still content to see how they were marginalized by others, beaten by other girls, hated by the orphanage caretakers, disowned by the people who saw them as orphans, dirty and worthless.

But as he said, he had to intervene on those occasions, such as when she was taken by a man with dubious interests in the girl. He had fun with that human, knocked the girl unconscious, and tore the man to pieces for the fun of it. And in that, he also added memories to the girl of what the man did to her, which was to insult her and give her a blow.

But sadly, his fun had to come to an end when Britney was being taken to church for an exorcism. The magical incidents began to happen months earlier when on her master's visit to the girl who gave her a delicious meal when she seemed to be starving, he saw how the girl looked at him as if her master was the only bright light in her whole world, and when she slept, her master fused one of the magical souls causing the girl to have magic as a result.

And then he had to inform his master of what was going to happen already knowing what he was going to do, and he also knew that he would soon do the same for the other two girls. Christina Maria Aguilera, 5, and Beyonce Giselle Knowles, 4.

POV Britney

She was very frightened, the matron, who was a nun, took her to two men who told her they were church fathers. She was terrified of what they were possibly going to do to her, she didn't have good experiences with older people, and they always hit her or called her names.

The only happy moments she could remember, of which there were only three, were when this child had appeared in her life.

The first time he found her near a restaurant where she was looking through the rubbish to eat, she was sitting there by the dumpster waiting for the leftovers to arrive, her hunger was great and she couldn't wait any longer. It was then that he approached her with a smile, he asked her for her name and what she was doing there alone in that place, although her answer came from the rumbling of her stomach rather than with words.

He didn't sneer or say horrible things to her, instead, he smiled at her, stroked her head, and invited her to eat at the same place where she expected leftovers.

Then she remembered that, although she got a lot of dirty looks from the people there, they didn't stop her when she went in with the boy and the woman who was his aunt if she remembered correctly. She couldn't remember ever having eaten so much and something so delicious, after that, she was dropped off at the orphanage, and he said goodbye and promised to see her again.

And so it happened, she waited and waited and waited until when she almost gave up hope, he appeared again like an angel who comes for the prayers of the faithful.

Now she was frightened and in great fear of what would happen to her. They took her to the basement of the church and put her in a room where they tied her up and started to pray, she started to tell them to let her go, to release her, but they flatly refused and that the demon inside her forced her to say that, just like when she was released with that strange power sometimes from the girls who beat her and were thrown around her. Then everything becomes worse when she uses that strange power to push the matron because she tries to gag her into silence.

I started praying to my guardian angel, to the boy who was always there to help me in the saddest and most painful moments of my life, I wanted him to get me out of this horrible place, I wanted his help - "PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE...!! AZRAEL!!!!" 

The whole place glowed, and I watched as the child who appeared in my life appeared here surrounded by a light as two huge black wings came out of the child's back.

While everything was silent the two fathers and the nun looked at the child in shock. I smiled and cried tears of joy as he appeared again, at the moment I needed him most, my guardian angel, my Azrael.

'Perfect timing' - I appeared behind the fathers and the nun, Kled used apparition and then lumus for the luminous effect as I deployed black wings - "Avada Kedavra" - I cast the green death ray at the matron as I looked at the two fathers who recoiled in shock and fear - "To do something so horrible to a child... your souls will be taken straight to hell" - As I said that, I ripped both their souls out in the most painful way possible, and they fell to the floor dead.

I easily untied the ropes with a spell and went over to her to hug her tightly, to which she responded with strength and tears.

- "You came... you came, Azrael" - She said in tears.

- "Yes, Britney. Now I'll take you home with me, no one else will hurt you there, I promise" - When I told her that, she cried even harder.

How did the shinobis of Naruto do this without feeling bad, even I feel bad for doing this to a girl and I'm a total bastard. I guess old-school shinobi training is tougher than what they showed in the anime, but I have to get used to it if I want to gather my little army of loyal servants. Anyway, time to move on.
