DMU: I posted a new chapter for chapter 9 so you all should go and read it. Due to lack of an idea, the argument section is going to be left blank.
DA: nuh uh! We have plenty of ideas. You just don't want to type one.
DMU raises skeptical brow: Oh yea. Name one.
DA:….
DMU: Thought so.
DA: Wait a minute!! (pulls Hiei in from other room) Hiei give her an idea.
Hiei: Hn.
DA: That's a great idea lets play Russian Rollette with this fully loaded gun. (Holds up super soaker water gun.) Oops. Wrong one. (brings out hand gun.)
DMU rolls eyes: How about not. That's a waste of time.
DA: Well lets vote on it then.
DMU: All in favor of not dieing raise your hands. (Sango, Hiei, Kurama, Kagome, Sesshoumaru, Jade, and DMU all raise their hands.)
DA: All in favor of playing a fun game of Russian Rullette raise your hands. (Alex, DA, and Elie, who appeared out of no where, all raised their hands.)
DMU: Your our numbered. We win. No argument. Lets get on with the story.

In a café the narrator was sitting.
"Yea I'll take a coffee with two sugars and…" Narrator looks at readers and poofs back into narrator box place.
Hello everyone. Sorry about the inconvenience. It was suppose to be my coffee break. Stupid authoresses and there no break policy. Mumble…mumble. Anyway I won't take my frustrations out on you great readers. This is week six. I'll just get right to the point.
-/- Sixth Week. Monday. Transfigurations class. -/-
"Today we are going to be practicing turning others heads into other objects." McGonagall said. The class groaned. "Now, now. We've been practicing since last week. You will all do fine." She turned her back on the class. "I hope" she mumbled.
"Come on Yusuke." Hermione said trying to get Yusuke to stay still long enough for her to practice. "I won't mess up."
"Keh." Yusuke said crossing his arms, closing his eyes, and staying still. Hermione snuck a glance at Keiko, who was partnered up with Kurama. Keiko pushed her head in Yusuke's direction and Hermione nodded and put her hand on her necklace. Keiko did also. After a second, Hermione took her hand off her necklace, nodding her head. She smiled, almost evilly, at Yusuke.
"This will only take a second." Hermione said sweetly. She swung her wand and said the magic word. ( Man that was stupid) But, before the spell was finished a pink light came from another direction and hit Yusuke in the head. There was a cloud of smoke around Yusuke's head and he was trying to bat it away with his hands. When the smoke cleared everyone, well some more than others, were relieved to find that he was unchanged.
"What the hell did you do?" Yusuke yelled. POP! Yusuke looked around for the cause of the popping sound. He didn't find anything. 'Must have been my imagination.' He turned back to everyone else and saw that everyone was staring at him. Most in amusement and others in shock. "What are you staring at?" Yusuke asked/yelled. POP! 'There's that stupid popping sound again.' Yusuke looked around again and, not finding anything, looked back at everyone. Kurama was holding out one of the mirrors from around the class.
"You might want to look at your head." Kurama said, still staring at Yusuke's head.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Yusuke asked/yelled again, holding the mirror so he could see his head. His mouth dropped. There, on his head, were two, POP, make that three neon pink flowers. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?" Yusuke screamed. POP! Another one grew. Yusuke dropped the mirror and yanked one of the flowers out. POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! Five more grew in its place. Yusuke growled and started ripping them out left and right, while cursing the whole time. For every one he pulled out five more grew in its place and every time he yelled one more would grow. In about five minutes Yusuke was exhausted (that shows how hard he was working) and he now had a bouquet of neon pink flowers growing out of his head.
"I don't think it wise to pull any more of those out and you should keep your voice down Yusuke." Kurama said as he and McGonagall studied Yusuke's new attachment. Kuwabara was in the back ground, on the floor, laughing his head off. Yusuke growled at him.
"You keep laughing and I'm gunna beat the living hell out of you." Yusuke said threateningly. POP! POP! "DAMN IT!" POP!
"I guess that goes for threatening people also."
"I found something." McGonagall said, pulling on something. It seemed to be a card. Kurama looked over her shoulder and read it before she could hide it.
Where? Where? Who? Who? Wow wee that's number two.
The Death Trap
The class went silent.
"Yusuke. Come with me." McGonagall said. "The rest of you are to read chapter nine in your text books. (Do they have text books for her class?) With that Yusuke and McGonagall left the room. Everyone else started reading and no one seemed to notice the absence of certain isolation girls.
-/- Sixth week. Wednesday. Outside boys bath room.-/-
Here we find ourselves with Draco and a dressed up Alex standing outside the boys bathrooms.
"What do you mean?" Alex said in a voice deeper than her normal one. "I am a boy." Draco rolled his eyes.
"I'm not stupid." Draco said simply.
"Well you must be." Alex said. "I have the way too baggy pants, the short messy hair, and I'm dumber then a doornail so I must be a male." (No offence men.) Alex said in her deep voice.
"If you're a guy than why do you have boobs?" Draco asked. "Guy's don't have those."
"Haven't you ever heard of man-boobs?" Alex said. Draco shook his head. "It is heard of in large men and sadly I am fat." Alex looked down in mock sadness.
"Men don't care about their weight." Draco said triumphantly.
"Well then I don't care." Alex said. "Because I am 100 man. So let me in."
"I just got this new skirt." A girl said to another girl as they walked by. Alex spun around.
"Wow I have that same skirt." Alex squealed. "Aren't they the cute…." Alex stopped talking and looked at the smirking Draco. "Umm…I mean I like that skirt on you babe." Alex said in her low voice again. "You should wear it shorter. Heh heh." Alex turned back to Draco. "See I'm a guy. Let me in."
"No. You only want in so that you can mock Yusuke and we're not allowing that." Draco said.
"What are you guys like a gang now or something?" Alex asked. "I'm a cool guy. Can I join the gang?"
"Yes we are and no you can't." Draco said walking backwards into the lavatory. "So beat it, you can't come in." With that Draco shut the door in Alex's face.
"Fine." Alex called through the door as she took her boy disguise off. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a walkie-talkie. The boys laughed at her through the window in the door.
"Like were afraid of a walkie-talkie." They laughed. Alex smirked.
"You shouldn't be afraid of the talkie but of who's on the other end." Alex brought the talkie to her lips. "Jaaaaade." Alex said into the talkie. The guys stopped laughing and listened.
"What?" A voice said from the other side.
"I'm having a problem in part 4 of sector 9." Alex smiled at the confused looks of the boys. "Could you get down here?"
"Sure." Jade said. "Killer out."
"Fairy out." Alex said. She smiled at the door.
"Like we're afraid of one girl when there's eight of us in here." Draco said snobbishly.(Just so there's no confusion Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, Kuwabara, Draco, Harry, Ron, Crabbe, and Goyle are all the guys in the room.) Alex stayed quiet. A couple of minutes later Jade came walking down the hall. She didn't look too happy.
"What's the trouble?" Jade asked coldly. Alex pointed top the door and put on a pouty face. Jade rolled her eyes. "I had to stop reading for this." Jade started to walk away.
"But they said they weren't afraid of a weak girl." Alex said just as the boys started sneering inside the bathroom about her walking away. Jade stopped walking and turned around. She stood in front of the door.
"Just try and blast it down." Draco said snidely. "We've all put jinxes on the door. There's no way magic could get this door down." Jade smirked.
"Look at this." Jade said as she studied the door. "A bunch of boys locking themselves in a bathroom to get away from a girl." She said shaking her head. She took the walkie talkie from Alex. "Killer to Firefly." Jade said. There was fuzz for a second and then a voice came over the talkie.
"Firefly here." Someone said. "What do you need?"
"We have a level A-10 issue in part 4 of sector 9." Jade said looking at the door. "You available?" Jade asked.
"Yea." The person said from the talkie. "Be right there." Jade threw the talkie to Alex. After a couple seconds footsteps were heard coming toward them. Soon Sango came into view. "Sorry it took so long to answer I wasn't expecting you to call on the talkie. I though you would of uses the…"
"Yes. Yes." Alex cut in, making the guys slightly suspicious of what Alex didn't want Sango to say. "We know. We just had guests." Sango looked from the door to Jade and back to the boys. "So we gotta get that down?" She asked toward Jade. Jade nodded. They both stood back and look at the door.
"Ready?" Sango asked. Jade nodded.
They both brought their legs up and kicked the door three times in the same spot really fast. Cracks formed were their feet had hit and it slowly stared to cover over the rest of the door. Once the door was covered Jade flicked it with her finger and the whole thing fell to the ground in a bunch of pieces.
"Pathetic." Jade said as the dust cleared. The guys were all standing back away from the door with shock on their faces. Jade turned to Alex. "I gathered you can handle it from here." She said as she and Sango walked away.
"See…" Alex said happily as she walked past all the shocked guys to the stall Yusuke was hiding in. "You should of just let me come in in the first place and you wouldn't of invoked Jade's wrath." Alex opened the stall door and looked at Yusuke. She took out a camera and took a couple of pictures, then she burst up laughing. "Oh that is rich." She said as she walked out of the bathroom.
-/- Sixth week. Thursday. Halls. -/-
"Darn it." Kagome said as she dropped yet another book. 'Where did Sango disappear too?' She silently asked herself. She bent down and tried to grab the book she had drooped without dropped the ten other, really thick, books. "When I need her help she up and disappears." She mumbled to her self. She place the other books down and placed the dropped one on the top and then attempted to pick the stack back up. "Ok…carefully…" Kagome said, picking up the books slowly.
"Do you need any help Kagome?" A voice asked from behind her. Kagome, not expecting the voice, started, dropped the books, and attempted to turn around. Sadly she didn't see the books under her foot, which decided to be an evil little book and jump out form under Kagome's foot, pulling her foot with it. Kagome was sent falling and she braced her self for the impact, and the embarrassment about to fall on her…ok moving along. When she didn't feel herself meet the floor, like she has done so many times before, I mean it man, they are like close buddies, anywho…, she slowly opened her eyes, which she closed some time during the commotion, (Do you think that's why she fell? Hm?) and her eyes met emerald green, speckled with gold.
"Um…heh heh…" Kagome stuttered, rubbing the back of her head. "Hey Kurama."
"Hello Kagome." He said again. "I didn't mean to startle you." He said with a charming smile. Kagome blushed at, one, his smile, two, how close they were, and three, how the more Kurama's eyes got speked with gold, the closer his arm around her waist pulled her to him.
"It's ok." Kagome managed to breathed out. "Um…. I don't think I'm going to be falling again anytime soon." She said, her cheeks getting redder. Kurama smiled again and pulled her up so that they were standing instead of being in the dip type stance.
"So do you need any help?" Kurama asked again. Kagome smiled sheepishly and looked at the loads of books she had.
"If it's not too much trouble." She said, starting to pick up her books.
"It's not trouble at all." Kurama said bending down to help her. When they got all the book up, Kurama carrying seven and Kagome carrying four, they started head back to the isolation room. "Can I ask why you have so many books?" Kurama asked. Kagome smiled sheepishly.
"We all have a lot of homework back at the room but the others had other things to go do so I volunteered to go and get the books that we all needed." Kagome explained. "I was hoping Sango was at the library so that she could help me carry them back but she not there either."
"Either?" Kurama questioned.
"Yea." Kagome said with a thoughtful look on her face. "She told me she had to go do something but she wouldn't tell me what." By this time the two had reached the isolation door and Kagome was about to say the password what she stopped and looked back at Kurama. "You wouldn't…"
"I wouldn't dream of it." Kurama said smiling again. (Wow. These two smile a lot.) Kagome nodded and turned back to the door.
'They never said we couldn't have non-isolation people in here.' Kagome thought. "Dark Count" Kagome said. There were a bunch of clicks on the other side and soon the door opened. The two walked into a, very empty, common room.
"That's a very odd password." Kurama said. "For the professors to make I mean." He added when he saw Kagome's questioning look.
"The professors didn't put it there." Kagome said. "Some how Jade changed it and I think Alex picked the new one." Kurama nodded in understanding.
"Where should I put these?" Kurama asked, taking in the sights of their dorm.
"Let's just put them on the coffee table." Kagome said placing hers down. Kurama followed her example. "That way they can all get their book when they get back." Kagome said sitting on the couch. Kurama stood looking around.
"I'd hate to say it," Kurama started. "but this room's better than the Slytherin common room is." Kagome nodded.
"Yea. But don't tell anyone. Wouldn't want everyone in here." Kagome said. "You can sit down you know. Nothings gunna bite you."
"Except dear sweet Kagome there." Someone said from the stairs. They looked and saw Jade coming down with yet another book in her hands. This one was labeled 'How to Bring About the Apocalypse.' "Watch out for that girl," Jade said motioning to Kagome. "She only looks sweet and innocent." Jade stepped to the side as a book went flying past the place her head was only a second ago, still not looking up from her book.
"That is not true." Kagome said, standing and putting her hands on her hip. Kurama was sitting on the couch, watching the encounter with amusement. "So where are you heading?" Kagome asked, trying to change the subject. Jade sighed and looked up from her book.
"Apparently the ass…I mean Snape got tired of me correcting him in class today so I have to go an hour early to detention." Jade sighed as though she was about to die. Kagome smiled evilly.
"Are you afraid that Sango won't be there to protect you from the big-bad-wolf?" Kagome asked. Kurama at this point was giving them both questioning looks.
"No I can handle wolfs on my own." Jade said putting her face back into her book. "It's perverts that I can't deal with." Kagome nodded.
"Are you calling Professor Snape a pervert?" Kurama asked. Jade gave him a withered look.
"No, I'm calling him a saint." Jade said sarcasticly. "Here's your sign." Jade said holding out a sign on a with rope. On the sigh was written, "I'm stupid." Kurama looked at her questioningly as Kagome tried to keep from laughing. (For your info I don't own the signs. To those of you that knew what I meant by the sign, YOU SO TOTALLY ROCK!!! To those of you that don't you definitely have to listen to Bill Engvall(sp?)) Kagome stopped laughing.
"Have fun at your detention." Kagome said cheerfully.
"Yea right." Jade said walking toward the door. "Now don't have too much fun you two." Jade said winking at Kagome.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Kagome shrieked.
"Think for a second Kagome," Jade said. "a teen boy and a teen girl alone in a room. What do you think will happen?" She asked. Kagome turned red.
"Will you leave already!" Kagome yelled throwing a pencil at Jade. Jade dodged it.
"Ok, ok." Jade said, still monotone. "I'll leave you two love birds alone." Kagome picked up another book and Jade ran out the door, still reading her book. Kagome lowered the book. Jade popped her head back in. "Try not to make too much noise, these walls aren't completely sound proof you know." With that the door closed and a shoe hit against it. Kagome sat down again, missing a shoe, not looking at the amused Kurama.
"Does that sort of thing happen all the time?" Kurama asked. Kagome's face got redder and she mumbled a short 'no' in response, still not looking at Kurama. They sat in silence. Though not an uncomfortable one. Well it wasn't uncomfortable for Kurama. For Kagome though….
'I can't believe she said that!' Kagome yelled in her head. 'When she gets back I'm gunna…'
"Kagome are you ok?" Kurama asked, knocking Kagome out of her daze. She looked over to Kurama and found that he was now sitting right next to her on the couch, and, sadly, Kagome was up against the side of the couch so she had no where else to go.
"Y-yeah…I'm f-fine…" Kagome stuttered. 'My face is gunna be permanently red after tonight.' Kagome thought. Kurama smiled at her answer, but didn't make a move to back away. Kagome looked around the room. "I…uh… have to get my work done. I didn't get much sleep last night so I wasn't paying attention in class, and since Jade left then there's no one else to help so I better get to work." Kagome babbled. 'Great now I'm so nervous that I'm babbled. Way to go Kagome.' Kagome berated herself. She looked at Kurama and saw him smiling at her.
"I could help you." He said. "It's no trouble at all." He continued when he saw that she was about to argue. She nodded her head and started getting her homework out.
'Great! It's a great way to be alone with the goddess and to get to know her... alone.' Youko said in Kurama's head. 'Did I mention that we are ALONE!' Kurama sighed as Youko started doing a mental victory dance.
'Only about three times.' Kurama replied. 'And we're not here to do ANYTHING but homework'
'You know how homework is so boring that sometime people get distracted…' Youko said. 'And those distractions can lead to other things.' There was a suggestive tone to his voice. Kurama mentally rolled his eyes.
"Then we'll just have to make sure there are no distractions." Kurama mumbled out loud as he locked Youko in a mental closet.
"Did you say something?" Kagome asked, setting her work on the table. Kurama smiled.
"Nothing." He said.
"Just talking to yourself?" Kagome asked jokingly. Kurama smiled and nodded his head.
'She doesn't know how right she is.' Kurama thought.
"So let's get started." Kagome said opening her book. "I have to be somewhere in an hour."
"Alright then." Kurama opened his book, which appeared out of no-where, and they got started.
- Sixth week. Thursday. Dungeon halls. -/-
Jade was walking down in the dungeons, still reading her book, when a pair of very pale hands came out of an old, unused, dungeon Jade had just been passing and wrapped around Jade's mouth and stomach, pulling her into the room. Jade squirmed and tried to bite the person, but she couldn't get a good hold on them. When they were about halfway into the room the person stopped.
"If you promise not to run away I'll release you." A voice, eerily familiar but not able to be placed, whispered in Jade's ear. Jade stopped moving and considered for a second. She nodded and the hand let her go. She spun around fast and slapped the person in the face, before she even got a look at them.
"You creep." Jade snarled. "You made me drop my book." Jade said picking up her dropped book from by the now closed and locked door. She brushed it off and looked toward her "attacker". The person was rubbing their cheek.
"Ow. Did you have to hit so hard." The person said. "It's only a book."
"Yes I did.." Jade said flipping through the book. "It's a really good book and you made me lose my place." The person rolled their eyes. "What are you doing dragging me in here anyway?"
"I was looking for Alex and then I saw you."
"Why couldn't you just talk to me out there?" Jade asked with a sigh.
"I didn't want to be seen." The person said as if it was obvious. Jade rolled eyes.
"No, I haven't seen Alex but I am now late for a detention. Thank you very much."
"I'll talk to your teacher and explain why you were late." The person said. Jade gave him a sideways glare.
"That won't do any good seeing as how Snape only listens to Dumbledore, a few teachers, and his beloved Slytherin's." Jade said walking toward the door.
"Then it's a good thing we have a teacher and a Slytherin here." The person said. Jade stopped walking and look at him suspiciously.
"Teacher?" Jade asked. The person smirked.
"Apparently one of the teachers are leaving tomorrow on business so Dumbledore asked me to fill in for the rest of the year." Jade sighed in exasperation. "What's with the sigh?"
"With you here Alex is never gunna get any of her work done." The person made a face of mock surprise.
"You actually care about school work getting done!?" They gave Jade a suspicious look. "Where's the real Jade and who are you?" Jade glared.
"I didn't say it was school work." Jade said. "It's other work." The person nodded.
"I'll make sure she stays on task then." They said in a military type voice. Jade opened the door.
"I have to get there before he decides that I have to stay late too." Jade said walking down the hall. The person next to her.
"You don't sound too happy about that." The person said. "Do you two not get along or something?" Jade rolled her eyes.
"Well he's just so…" Jade stopped to think.
"Arrogant?" The person said.
"That too." Jade kept thinking.
"Annoying."
"Sometimes."
"Dark."
"Yes."
"Mysterious."
"Definitely."
"And you like him."
"Of course I do…" Jade stopped her self. She seemed to just realize what the person was saying and what she was about to say. "DON'T" Jade shouted. "Of course I don't." She turned her head away from the person and kept walking. The person walked up next to her. "Why are you still here?" Jade asked.
"I said I was going to explain things to your teacher." Jade scoffed.
"Good luck with that." Jade said. "I hope you still have your head when he's done with you."
"Sounds like you have a lot of faith in him." The person said, raising a brow at Jade. Jade pretended not to hear them and kept walking.
"I'm just saying it's a reverse battle of good verses evil from all those fairytales." Jade said. "Instead of "good" winning "evil" is gunna."
"So I represent the evil right?" The person asked. Jade shook her head.
"Nope. You're the "good"." Jade said patting the person on the shoulder. "And, not trying to be mean…oh wait yes I am, anyway, as I was saying, I'm rooting for evil to win. Just because evil should win."
"No your just rooting for your love interest." The person said. They ducked as Jade made a swing at their head.
"NO. I'M. NOT." Jade said through clenched teeth. She took a deep breathe and seemed to be counting to ten. "I'm rooting for the evil side to win."
"Oh so you would want this Voldamort person to win." The person looked back at Jade, who had stopped. She was pulling something out of her pocket. On closer inspection we find that it's a dagger. "I was just joking." The person said holding up his hands in defense. Jade put the dagger back and started walking again.
"We are talking about yours and Snape's fight." Jade said coldly. "NO others."
"I know." The person said simply. "From how you talk about this Snape guy he seems like a big jerk." Jade shrugged. The person looked at her out the corner of his eye. "And an asshole, a bastard, a creep, and probably annoying, bad hair, pale skin, and he probably has no fashion sense…"
"Alright!" Jade snapped slightly. "He's not that bad." She mumbled. The person jumped in front of her and pointed an accusing finger at her.
"HA! SO YOU DO LIKE HIM!" The person yelled. Jade looked the person up and down. She leaned forward and looked them in the eyes for a couple seconds.
"Your drunk." Jade stated with a roll of her eyes. "I didn't think you could get drunk." The person put their finger down.
"It was my daughters kind of twenty-first birthday today." The person said proudly. "Being the daddy's girl she is she wanted me to celebrate with her." The glare left Jade's face.
"Little Rin is twenty-one today?" Jade asked. The person nodded. "I'll have to wish her a happy birthday." Jade said. "That would the age of her human body right. By the way, how old is she in demon years now?" The person thought for a couple seconds.
"Five hundred and ten I do believe." The person said.
"She went with the whole slow human aging thing right?" Jade stated more than said. The person nodded. By this time they were standing in front of Snape's door. "You better leave. It's probably not a good idea to go in and explain things while your like that."
"Like what, Ms. Rose?" Someone asked from the door. Jade turned around, she had her back to the door, to find Snape standing there. Snape had his arms crossed and was glaring at the person so hard that if looks could kill he'd be long gone.
"Nothing." Jade said with a sigh. She turned to the other person who was glaring right back at Snape, apparently sobered up. "I'll give the message to Alex." Jade said and went to walk into the class but found that no one was following her. She turned back around and found the two guys still in a glaring contest. "Just like children." Jade mumbled as she walked in between them and pushed them apart. That seemed to knock them out of their dazes.
"I didn't catch your name." Snape said coldly.
"That's because I didn't give it." The other person said just as coldly. They both went into their glaring contest again. Jade rolled her eyes. She thought for a second.
"My boobs are big." Jade said casually, but loud enough to get their attention. Apparently that's what did the trick because to next second Snape was looking at Jade with his mouth almost touching the floor and his eyes as wide as saucers, he was holding the door frame for support. The other person was sitting on the floor, apparently not as sober as Jade thought he was, looking up at Jade shocked. "Now that I have your attention I would like to point out that you are both acting worse than two year olds. You are both, suppose to be, adults. So can you both, if it's in your ability, start acting like it." Jade crossed her arms over her chest, which kept grabbing both men's attention being as it was the topic a second ago, and glared at both of them. It took a couple seconds but eventually both the men composed themselves and were now standing in an akward tension.
"Severus Snape. Potions professor." Snape said as he extended his hand. The other guy grabbed Snape's hand.
"Sesshoumaru Taiyouki and as of tomorrow the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

DMU: There ya'll go.
DA: I still say we should of had an argument in the beginning.
DMU: We've been over this already. We didn't have one then and we still don't have one now. End of discussion.
DA: Of course we have one now.
DMU sighs in frustration: What is it this time?
DA: umm…. What about those blackmailers now a days huh? Bad news. (off to the side Alex was sitting with shifty eyes. For some unknown reason.)
DMU: That's nice and all but why don't you go over there and talk with Alex about blackmailers.
DA: That's right. We can't leave Alex out of all the arguments. (Walks over to Alex who slowly brings folder out of pocket. Glaring menacingly at DMU.)
DMU in kinda panicy voice: That's all the time we have so tata. And review.
