Naruto and Gaara were playing Wizards' Chess, the former losing. Akatsuki sighed and decided to go and walk around, maybe visit Hagrid.

She bid them farewell and changed into white jumpsuit with black collar, trimmings, and zipper before she grabbed her ehite Slytherin cloak with hood. She quickly slipped from the common room only to to bump into McGonegiel.

"Ms Jinchuuriki, where to you think your going?" Minerva asked sternly, Akatsuki halted

Cursing under her breath for not teleporting to her destination. She looked to her side to see Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Malfoy. She composed herself and pushed up her glasses.

"Good evening, Professor. My reasoning for not being in bed at this hour is that I couldn't sleep. Nightmares Memories. Slytherin Dormitory is located under Hogwarts and its cold there, not that the temperature bother me for a bit. I was heading to the kitchen when I saw the lights on Hagrid's hut is on, signifying he is still awake." Akatsuki half lied smoothly, McGonegiel stared at the Jinchuuriki

"I suppose you will come out if this lightly but you still serve detention with these four" McGonegiel said, motioning the four behind her

"I understand, Professor" Akatsuki nodded as Filrch showed up

They head towards Hagrid's hut, with Filtch telling them about the past detention, intent on scaring them.

"You'll be serving detention with Hagrid tonight" Filtch informed them

"Good evening, Hagrid San.......are you alright?" Akatsuki asked

"No" Hagrid sniffed

"Tsk. You guys have a job to do inside the dark forest tonight" Filtch added

"Pull yourself together!" Filtch yelled in annoyance

"What happened?" Akatsuki asked

"Dumbledore sent Norbert away to leave with the colony. He's my new dragon, a baby dragon" Hahrid sighed sadly, Akatsuki sighed and shook her head

"I see. Its a good thing then, Hagrid san. That way, he would be able to socialized with them and not aliened when he would meet them in the future. Worry not. Dragons may be fearsome creatures but they are loyal, specially to the people they first saw after hatching. He'll remember you" Akatsuki stated

"Thank you. I needed that" Hagrid said gratefully

"Alright then. Let's go. We have a job to do at the Dark Forest" Akatsuki clapped her hands

"'The Dark Forest'?! I thought that was a joke! Its forbidden to all students and teachers! Irs dangerous there!" Malfoy protested

"Actually, its not that dangerous others made it out to be. They just call it that for humans to not harm the inhibitors in there. Its a forest where a lot of magical creatures lived. Some are pleasant and some are not. You just have to know where your stepping and you'll be fine. They don't usually attack if you don't make the first move" Akatsuki read out loud from a 4th year book of 'Magical Creatures And Where To Find Them'

"Spare us the lecture, Jinchuuriki" Ron sighed

"Come on now. Thanks for pointing that out Akatsuki" Hagrid said and lead the way

"Hey.....Hagrid. If were going in there with you carrying those, I think its suitable for us to armed ourselves with wands?" Akatsuli suggested

"Not a bad idea" Hagrid agreed

"....and can I borrow this?" Akatsuki motioned the rusty sword to the side of Hagrid's house

"Its rusty and could fell apart. I don't want you to hurt yourself and its pretty heavy" Hagrid said as Akatsuki walked towards the sword and effortlessly picked it up

"Its nice." She said as swiped her hand over it, changing the rusty blade into a sharp one using her chakra, the sword look good as new.

"How did you do that?" Hermione asked in atonishment

"Trade secret" Akatsuki smirked and grabbed its sheath and placed it on her back and sheared the sword

Akatsuki shrugged and followed them inside. As they walked in deeper, Akatsuki looked more relax that ever. Smiling at the feeling of thrill running in her veins like how she felt when she's back home. Suddenly she stopped and sniffed the air. Blood.

"What's wrong?" Hagrid asked

"Follow me" Akatsuki motioned and she swiftly avoided the plants, stomps, and boulders and made a Beeline towards the source

The others had to ran after her to keep up. She stopped beside a fallen tree. Examining the puddle on silver sticky like liquid.

"Good job, Akatsuki. A puddle of Unicorn blood. You have a good nose to sniff it out" Hagrid praised

"Its not that hard for me to sniff it out. The scent of Unicorn blood is far more pleasant than human blood. Plus, the spell I put on my nose wore off" Akatsumi said, lying at the last part

"Alright. As you can see....this is unicorn blood. I found one dead a few weeks ago" Hagrid said

"This one is hurt by somebody. So its our job to find the poor beast" Hagrid finished

"I see" Akatsuki nodded

"Ron and Hermione, you both come with me. The three of you will be paired up" Hagrid said

"Fine. But we'll get Fang" Malfoy sneered

"Fine. Just so you know, he's a bloody coward" Hagrid informed him making Malfoy's face fell

"Alright let's go" Akatsuki said and head to another direction

"And leave the lamp to Hagrid. We won't be needing it" Akatsuki added

"What?!" Draco hissed but followed

The three of them depart from Hagrid. Fang, Malfoy, and Harry followed after Akatsuki.

"Wait till my father hears about this" Malfoy growled

"Shut up. I can't have you broadcasting our current location. I don't know about the two of you but I left my wand back to the castle. Reason why I took thus sword with me. And I don't think you two have a large knowledge of spells in your arsenal" Akatsuki hissed making them shut up

After a few minutes of walking, they heard howls or grunts that sent the three to look back nervously. Akatsuki kept walking until the scent of blood reached her nose. She turned to the left and found a black hooded figure, drinking the blood of a dead unicorn. Fang growled, catching the two's attention.

"What is it Fang?" Harry asked before he turned to where Akatsuki was looking at.

"......AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Draco screamed in terror.

"Wait. Stop and don't make any sudden movements. We already caught its attention." Akatsuki said and gripped Malfoy's arm when he was about to run for it

"Fang. Get Hagrid. You two stay here with me. If this was responsible for the Unicorn's death then we cannot have him doing it to another unicorn. I need you two here to work together and fire any offensive spells you know." Akatsuki informed them and unsheathed her sword before pushing the two back behind her

"....ack!" Harry gripped on his scar that is burning

"What do we do now?!" Malfoy hissed as the figure grew closer

"We attack. Ice Style: Crescent Moon!" Akatsuki yelled and swopped her sword horizontally, creating a blue arc of ice that heads to the figure that dodged the attack narrowly

"....not experiencing in hand to hand combat with magic. Let's use that as an advantage" Akatsuki murmured before tossing her sword in the air and moved through hand seals

"Celestial Slash!" She jump up and caught her sword before sending a horrizontal slash, the attack had cut off several trees.

This caused the figure to flee as a centaur arrived to witness Akatsuki taken down 10 over grown threes with one move.

"Your kind is truly remarkable, Akatsuki. But please, next time. Try not to cause devastating blows" The Centaur said, Akatsuki nodded

"I appologies. Battle mode kicked in" Akatsuki sheathed her sword

She walked over the dead unicorn
She sighed and grabbed a vile from her pocket and stored the remaining blood she could get and sealed it with a few strands of unicorn hair. She stood up just in time for Hagrid to show up.

"Well done. Our job is over. Let's go. The sunrise is almost up" Hagrid said

"Yeah we should. We have crossed the territory of the Centaur" Akaktsuki said

"Alright. Let's go"
