Souls reincarnate every 500 years. They start a new slate with no memories of their pasts, even if their soul's previous form and instincts remains. And Sarah Potter happened to be the reincarnation of a certain Black Crane. YYH X-Over


Commentation

At the arena...the biker's support was ENORMOUS as the demons called for Yusuke's death. The screen flashed 酎 VS 幽助.

'Its gonna be hard on Junior...' Sarah muttered with a frown while still working on Hiei's arm. She felt Chuu's energy levels and Yusuke is a level lower than he. In fact, he is a low C-Class while Yusuke is a mid-D. 'This guy is on a whole 'nother level.'

'He makes Zeru look weak in fact.' Hiei agreed as his hand now looked red but whole, as if he dunked his arm in boiling hot water and Sarah stopped healing him.

'Ah...I can't go on anymore...' she gasped in exhaustion shakily and almost swaying in dizziness. 'This is as far as I can go.' Hiei looked at his pinkish arm. It still stung slightly but not that much of a bother.

"She could restore my burnt hand had she been in full power...what healing skill." Hiei thought as he put his hand in his pockets. Next thing he knew, Sarah fainted and sank on her knees before falling sideways, prompting Hiei to catch her. '!'

'Sarah!' Remus cried from the spectator's area as he jumped off from there to pick her up.

'Take care of her for now, Remus-san. We can't leave the arena just yet and she can't leave our side either until the matches are over.' Kurama instructed as Remus carried his charge bridal style. 'Restoring Hiei's hand took almost the full brunt of her power. She'll probably sit the next round out and be replaced by Kuwabara.'

'That's good...I thought she can't take a break.' Remus sighed in relief as the last fight between Yusuke and Chuu began.

It started out comedic, of course...until it got serious and Yusuke got almost outclassed, if it wasn't for the fact that he had a harder head.

The next round will be in three days in announcement. And that night in Hogwarts, the Matches were broadcasted over dinner with the focus mostly on the POV of Sarah and her team, watched by the Faculty, Student Body, the Minister and the Heads of each Department in the Ministry with some Daily Prophet Reporters who were there to comment on the tournament. By the time the tournament is over, other matches by other teams are shown, and much more brutal than the first two teams that caused some others to throw up their dinner, as the best eight were picked. The screen blanked out with a black screen that showed translations and explanations in certain times of the fight.

It explained why Kurama and Hiei were called traitors-they were demons who work for Reikai who keep Ningenkai safe when humans are just food.

Even Energy Levels are displayed. Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, Kuwabara, Zeru and Rinku registered as high D-Class, Sarah at Low C-Class and Chuu, at a level higher than her-only the Faculty minus Lockhart knew of her true level-a High B.

The funniest thing was, even the thoughts of the combatants were audible. Yo Yos and Cat's Cradle were explained, and POV changes from Sarah to her team every now and then...and the wizards shuddered at the sheer ruthlessness and brutal methods displayed by three of Team Urameshi, while Yusuke ended things in a good ol' fashioned brawl. The Mastery of Flame and the Flames of Darkness are also explained.

Then a timer that read 2 DAYS AND 23:59 MINUTES TILL THE NEXT MATCH appeared.

'Hang on, there's no such thing as 23 on a clock!' Minister Cornelius Fudge blurted out. 'How're we supposed to know when the next match will start?'

'Well, if you read Ms. Potter's book, Muggles read clocks at digital form...well, for those middle-class and high-class muggles that is.' said Amelia Bones. 'Because to muggles, they run on a 24-hour timeline and 24 hours completes one day. one o'clock to us is thirteen o clock and 23 would mean eleven pm with 24 being midnight.' she explained. Fudge looked pink at this as the Muggleborns nodded.

'Well yeah, our digital clock reads that way.' said Dean Thomas to his best friend, Seamus Finnegan who looked baffled on the topic of muggle time.

'But for her to use magic without a wand so effortlessly...that and she uses her Spirit Power than actual Magic, she can't be detected by Underage Magic.' Mafalda Hopkirk commented thoughtfully. 'It's a feat no adult wizard can do unless they're extraordinarily powerful. Headmaster, we would like to know more about the Girl-who-Lived...'

'And if possible, we should have her married off to a prominent family in hopes to have children with the same powers.' Malfoy Sr. suggested and his implication was obvious. He wanted her to marry his son.

'I do not mind that suggestion but knowing Ms. Potter's temper, things will end in blood for suggesting such a thing, Lucius.' said Dumbledore in a serene expression as some adults blanched. 'She values her freedom of choice very much. If her choices were taken away...and she is more powerful than I...things will not end well.' Lucius Malfoy scowled at this. 'Let Sarah marry a man of her own choice in the near future.'

Back at the Hotel...

'...She's really out cold man.' said Yusuke as he put a hand on Sarah's forehead. 'She's cold too.'

'She drained her entire energy reserve to restore Hiei's burnt arm.' Kurama told him. 'It took a lot of power to restore it as far as she could. If we didn't have her, Hiei would most likely lose his right arm.' he said grimly. 'He can naturally regenerate after. Hiei, how long for your arm to completely heal?' he asked the shorter demon.

'Tomorrow.'

'Ah, that's good...Sarah can recover in three days as well...she'll be sleeping for a long while.' Remus sighed softly. 'Let's leave her be for now.' and the men-and one woman-left her bedroom.

'Our next match is in three days, so we can rest easy.' said Kuwabara with a grin. Needless to say, Yusuke enjoyed that holiday as he was unlucky enough to heal slowly as the only healer was out cold. When the second day passed by, the grid of matches drawn by lots came out and what an arrangement.

'They sure did everything they can to make us meet Toguro...' Kuwabara choked as he looked at the grid with Yusuke. They are fighting second and third round on the same freaking day. 'NO ONE ASKED OUR OPINION!' elsewhere, Kurama just saw the grid posted and Hiei could care less. The only one who didn't know was still out cold on her bed.

On the third day...she woke up at three in the morning, fully rested. And felt terribly icky. 'Ugh...what happ...oh yeah...' she mused as she recalled being terribly sweaty from exhaustion after healing Hiei's arm to near perfect health before fainting. "And of course, they can't give me a shower..." she grumbled as she groggily got up. She looked at the calendar and stared in incredulousness as she saw it. Two days had gone by!

'I slept for two days...I guess I better make up for this.' she thought as she went for a thorough shower and washed her current dress, drying it up with magic, and put it back in her dresser, before combing her long hair with a huge comb created by her magic and had it comb her hair from the back. Of course, she was also very hungry. She ran down to the kitchen of the hotel to get cooking, and eat a lot.

In the end, she ended up downing a pot of miso soup that had plenty of seaweed and tofu cubes, fried rice with vegetables and meat, sour fish hotpot with vegetables and even ate ice cream until she was satisfied. She then proceeded to cook breakfast for the team...

Which is why Kurama and Hiei were surprised when they were up early to see Sarah putting quite a deluxe spread on the living room table. 'Ah, ohayo.'

'Ohayo...you must be fully recovered now then.' Kurama greeted as he sat down to have some of the 'deluxe breakfast' he knew he could only dream of having as he can't exactly have suspicious access to funds to be able to afford this, to his mother.

'Yeah...how's the tournament?' Sarah asked Kurama. 'I hope I didn't sleep through three rounds or anything...'

'Don't worry, we have a three-day break to recover.' Kurama reassured her. 'You can still get to fight.'

'Oh...but I'm sitting the Second Round out and fight in the Third. Kuwabara can take my place.' Sarah told them. 'I just woke up from a two-day hibernation and still out of it.'

'Sou ka...sorenishitemo...what a luxurious breakfast.' Kurama chuckled as he took what he liked, so did Hiei. 'Given my financial situation, I can't afford this.'

'You CAN afford this, and your only problem is your mother suspecting how the hell you afforded it.' Hiei snorted, with the redhead looking sheepish.

'E-ehhh how do you know these dishes?' Kurama asked Sarah, quickly avoiding the subject as he really didn't want the girl to know he's a thief. Hiei just snorted in amusement and just thought on how much the kitsune changed in character and personality since living in Ningenkai.

'Oh, Genkai-shihan had books and recipes about these luxurious dishes and I've been cooking them for almost a year when I trained under her. I'm eating high-class since and the best part is, it's cheap and always available because I myself cooked it!' Sarah chuckled. 'No need to spend on restaurants!'

'Ahhh then can I ask you to indulge us during our stay here?'

'Sure!'

Hiei sweatdropped. Since when does Kurama ask for things legally?

Apparently now. But while eating breakfast, two suspicious shadows appeared by their window.

'Ignore it.' Sarah drawled. 'They're insignificant.'

But the two shadows barged in, revealing to be lizard-men, forcing Kurama and Hiei to chase them out. 'Honestly! I said just leave them!' Sarah swore as she fixed the windows with a snap of fingers. 'Oh well, I'll save their portions.' and she conjured a bento box to put what they took in place and put in some more and put them away before changing into one of her furisodes as she intended on sitting out the first round, and styled her hair elaborately with skilled hands, held in place with decorative pins and ribbons. She even had light make-up on, looking like a doll.

Two hours later, Yusuke, Kuwabara, the mask and Remus woke up to see breakfast ready with some portions taken out. 'Oh, you ate some already?' Kuwabara asked her sleepily. They-save for the mask-were still so groggy none of them noticed anything.

'No. I woke up at three in the morning and raided the hotel kitchen before cooking all this.' Sarah told them as while she spoke, the kitchen staff were BAFFLED on how could the previously clean kitchen became a huge mess, and a chunk of the pantry went missing. 'Kurama and Hiei already ate before chasing away some morons that barged in not long ago.'

'Ah sou ka.' Remus smiled before he froze and blinked...and stared at his charge. 'Er why are you dressed up like a doll?'

'What? I'm sitting the second round out but fighting in the third.' Sarah drawled. 'I may have recovered but I'm still feeling out of it, OK?'

'Sure...but look at this.' said Yusuke as he showed her a grid of the matches and Sarah looked floored at the set-up. 'Everything's set just so we can get to fight Toguro, assuming we survive today!'
