Awesome, Awesome story, long too over 400,000 words but so worth the reading. This is one of the older stories I saved for reviewing based on someone's recommendation, can't remember who since it was more then a year ago. This story is a crossover between Harry Potter and Natsume Yujin-Cho. Let me say first I have never watched this anime and everything I know about it is from Wikipedia. This takes place after Takashi is an adult and in going through his grandmother's things he finds out he has relatives in England. Once he begins investigating he finds a prophecy that ties him and unknown relative together. After finding his cousin Harry he also finds that he is subject to another one in Britain pertaining to the Dark Lord.

 In finding him he also finds that 1) Harry has spirit energy and can see Youki, 2) he has magic and 3) his guardians are not suitable to raise a child with special needs. After meeting  Dumbledore, whom he is not impressed with, he does agree that Harry should learn about his heritage. While Takashi agrees that Harry needs to go to Hogwarts he makes some demands first. Harry will attend under his new name of Ryuu, he will continue any training, he will continue studying his mundane education with other proviso to be added as needed. Takashi dealt with everything as a teenager with little to no training and wishes for the opposite for Harry. He makes contact with the Japanese magical community and begins Harry's training early. Harry is under a disadvantage in that due to his fear of the Youki he has become a mute. He begins to gather friends and trainers that become family. Their is action galore and Hogwarts is not prepared for a Japanese Magical Samurai in training. The adventures are there but with a different take and the main characters are different enough to keep this story from being just a rewrite. No one finds out that he is Harry Potter until fourth year. There is a lot of Harry whumping due to Dumbledore's and Voldemort's manipulations as well as his own rushing into things. There are twists and turns and some real cliff hangers and parts that make you want to cry from the sheer pain. The ending is one hell of a twist and all I can say is that it will make you laugh and cry.

Dumbledore wanted a pawn, a martyr, a minion of the light to follow his orders; instead he got a strong wizard with a core of steel, someone willing to kill to protect those he loves, a samurai who know how to lead and when to follow. There a clashes of temperment and wills. But as long as he has his family, his familiars and his love Luna then he can do anything.

Why is this person not a professional writer. There are some parts that are weak with some grammar or editing problems but all in all a kick ass story.
