Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter and Yu Yu Hakusho they would probably we spiritual predecessors to Xenosaga and Xenogears.

AN: So these won't always come this often but I really was bored and procrastinating writing my social essays for school. I am so tired and struggling with writer's block but I know that I won't read stories under 10K words so I'm trying to get to that ASAP.

Last Time

"My son is proof enough." She was trying so hard to be strong. Shiori knew her son why hiding something from her but she doubted this was his only secret. Why couldn't he tell her these things? Why was she always left in the dark?

The door opened and feet could be heard down the hall. "Mother I'm home!"

Chapter 3: Questions

Shiori's POV

"Welcome home! Cookies are cooling and ice cream is in the deep freeze." I yelled out to my son. It has been a while since Hiei came over. When I first met him I thought he was a child. He doesn't act like it. It's rude to ask so I always assumed he was just short for his age.

"Thanks. Hiei and I are going to the garden for a bit. If you need us come talk to us." My son called his voice sounding like he was talking to a fox. He really likes foxes.

Soon after Hiei walked in holding the bag I gave Shuichi. "My sister liked the bread. She is very thankful." Hiei mumbled softly. He is so different than both my sons but he is like a son to me. Normally I wouldn't make this much food but Hiei stopped coming over so I worried.

Standing up I walked over slowly and grab the bag as Hiei holded it out. "Thank you for bringing my bag back." Sending him a warm smile with a soft voice. Backing up my the phone went off across the room. "The cookies are on the cooling rack and the icecream is in the freezer feel free to have as many as you want. Let me just go get this phone and deal with a visitor in the other room."

Third Person

Shiori soon ran after the phone and walked back into the dining room. Hiei strut marched past Ishida like he wasn't there. Ishida on the other hand was staring at him in shock. Was this really normal? If only to shock Ishida even more Hiei walked up to Shiori.

"Can you pull down a plate for me I don't want to climb on your counters."

She just hurried over to the china cabinet and pulled out a serving plate along with a bowl. "I melted some chocolate to dip your cookies in used these." She soon returned to her conversation with whoever was on the phone. Ishida jaw was on the ground, figuratively anyway. Hiei smirked at him as he walked to the kitchen. Quickly loading the plate with cookies and the melted chocolate he walked into the living room and out a sliding glass door to the back.

"Can you call back later. I have a guest over." Shiori tried to explain to the person on the phone for the 3rd time in a row. Finally after a guaranty to call them back the person said good bye and hung up. She quickly returned to the table and brought some tea with her. She really hated when people called when people were visiting.

"Sorry. This is Dragon Pearls green tea. It's one of my favourite." She boasted confidently. "I'm really sorry for the wait. My sister in law tends to call at the worst times."

"No worries. Life happens and I was also an unexpected visitor." Ishida chimed right before he took a sip of his tea. It was very good tea, not something that he would buy, but very good.

"Now I do have questions." Shiori got right to the point knowing that her son would want answers too. "How much does this cost?"

"Free but you will have to buy your own school supplies. If you can't afford everything we are willing to help."

"Where is it?"

"Minami Iwo Jima, a small island that's said to be abandoned but is actually where our school resides."

"When does school end?"

"Well school hours are from 9 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon then if they choose astronomy that class is from 8:30 to 10 in the night. All students from age 11 and up stay at the school"

That last question made Shiori think of something, something so important that she was blind till now. "Why did you wait 10 years to contact us? Why didn't you send for us?" Ishida knew that they may ask this and even though he could lie it was best not to specially if they were friends with demons. He didn't want that to come bite him in the butt.

"Well our school has the smallest student base of the international wizard schools." He explained making sure to word this very softly. "Most family with wizard children here in Japan teach their own kids or send them to special temples ran by wizards to be trained by them." He pulled out a map from his briefcase and opened it up. "These temples…" He pointed to a couple including Genkai's. "...are all ran by people with the abilities to control magic. Your son has visited these one…" Points at Genkai's temple and a temple to Inari. "...and our magical systems thought he was learning magic there."

Shiori was quite upset. Her son her baby was denied being taught because they thought he was learning elsewheres. Why wasn't she visited afterwards? Why was there no confirmation. "When did you find out he wasn't?" Her voice was more bitter and cold. She was pissed.

"Well I visited one of those temples about a year ago and they only had one student. The other one I visited a couple days ago to find he visited there but has never talked to anyone working there or shown any signs of magic." He tried to stay composed but she was giving him the 'you better give me a reason not to hurt you' glare. This really wasn't turning out well.

As they were talking another conversation was happening outside.

"Fox it turns out that mage is here talking to your mom." Hiei said bluntly as he stepped down the stairs of the deck. His hands were full with the cookies and melted chocolate. Kurama's face turned dark if only for a moment then turned back to its regular composed face. He wasn't happy but it could make explaining to his mother easier.

"Well it's not like I can stop it now."

"What about your last few months of school? Don't you care about it?" Hiei commented with a 'pissed off' tone to his voice. Kurama could pass all this classes in honour's as it is. He wouldn't even drop from the top spot. That however wasn't why he was pissy. Hiei would never admit it but life was boring when he wasn't near the fox.

"Well if mom wants me to go I might as well." Kurama retorted with a soft fluttering voice. "... That's not why you are upset."

"Shut up you stupid fox!" Hiei argued blushing. "I don't care about you! It's just it's boring without you here." His face went blank and was serious. His red eyes gave Kurama the 'really are you that stupid stare' combined with the 'why would I care about you' glare.

Kurama laughed as he grabbed a seed from his hair and continued to work in his garden. He knew better than you piss off Hiei. It's not a smart idea. Anyone who knew Hiei would tell you he is not to be messed with. For the next couple hours they say in silence, Kurama working on the garden and Hiei eating his cookies.

Soon after all the garden work was done and Hiei was done his cookies then went back up the deck and inside. Hiei ran past the table and put the trays in the sink. Kurama simply walked behind him.

"Shuichi…" Shori called to Kurama in a calm and kind voice. "Can you come sit down here? We need to talk."

"Yes mother." Was the answer Kurama gave to the beckoned call of his mother. He walked to the chair beside her and sat down. While Hiei and Kurama were outside Shiori and Ishida had came to the conclusion that Kurama needed to be immersed in magic and taught without limits. Normally this wouldn't be possible even in the magical world but…

"Mr Minamino your mother and I have been talking and you are going to be attending Mahoutokoro for the next 2 years. Since you are so far behind you will be staying at our school." Ishida stated calmly; he wasn't going to let Kurama intimidate him. "This coming year we will be sending all our students from the age 17 up to england for the Triwizard tournament." Kurama internally paled. Not another deadly tournament. Kurama however kept his appearances and didn't change his face. "Three other schools are involved. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the school we will be staying at also a rival in the tournament, Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, an all female school we will be competing against and Durmstrang Institute, the other school we will be competing against." Kurama felt the stress lighten. School's wouldn't host a deadly tournament, right?

"So we will be flying over and staying at the school for the full year? What about those who don't know english?" Kurama questioned Ishida. Shiori was smile would not leave her face. Her son was so considerate of the other students.

"All student who don't know english well will be given a translation device. However…" Kurama knew what was coming there was no way he could get his way out of this. "...you are fluent in english you will not need the device. Your mom was telling me about the exchange students you help."

"When do we go?" Kurama gave in there was no way he was sneaking his way out of this, not a moment late Hiei walked in the room and stood beside the table. He had left knowing that him being in the room would be awkward but he only stood outside the door waiting for Kurama.

"If Kurama's going I'm going." After Hiei's announcement it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

AN: Now after a couple of day's i'm done. Most likely going to try and post weekly but who knows at this point. Next chapter is going to be some more explanations and probably finally going to England. I tried to fix the plot hole of waiting 10 years to find kurama. Im just going to say this here before someone comments about it. Yes it weird why they wouldn't check to see if the kid had for sure been accepted by an temple but the wizarding world also didn't check to see where Harry was.
