Chapter 11enjoy

Kurama ran around the corner nearly colliding into a group of Ravenclaws who were huddled around a girl with a pink puffball in her hand. He waved a quick apology before darting into the nearest classroom. Kurama prayed, and he was never one to do it often, that his pursuers were in too much of a hurry to check classrooms. He left the door open a crack to get a glimpse of the hall. A few seconds passed before a horde of girls zoomed around the corner, their determined faces turned changed to horror as they spotted the Ravenclaws a second too late. He winced as the crash flattened many of the students and scattered their belongings.

"My Pygmy!" Cried the Ravenclaw girl

"Ah! Watch it." Said another as his rainbow ink shattered the floor.

The group of girls tried to sort themselves out, wiping the ink of their faces and straightening their ruffled hair and robes. They didn't even offer to help the Ravenclaws' who were busy collecting their textbooks, and bits of parchment, which were ruined by the ink that covered the hallway. A few students nearby glared at the girls who ignored them.

"Where did he go?" Panted a brown haired 3rd year.

"Dunno."

"Geez, he can run fast. We should have just gotten a net." Said a mousey-faced girl.

"As if that would work! We should've just immobilized him." Said a blond sixth year.

"Hey did you see a tall red haired boy with green eyes go by here." Said the blond haired girl to the Ravenclaws.

They stared at the girls in disbelief and did not give any kind of response.

"C'mon were losing him!" Squeaked the brown haired girl.

The blond haired girl growled in frustration and ran out of Kuramas sight and the rest of the group followed her. He heard a few of them talking about getting a net to catch him next time as though her were some kind of fish. As if he would ever let them catch him. When he was sure they were gone, he exited the classroom and bent down to catch the pink puffball that had flown near the door. It emitted a few cute squeaks as he petted its soft fur and danced on his hand.

"Thank-you." He said handing the puffball back to its owner.

"Well at least you didn't crash into us," she said, "some girls around here are crazy. You should watch out for the ones with love potions."

"I think I saw Mildred in there too. Hate to be you around Valentine's Day." Said a boy beside her.

Kurama shuddered. "I'll keep that in mind."

After he made sure they were well off, he headed in the opposite direction of the girls towards the library. All of this had started a few weeks after he had become friends with Blaise; a relationship he was seriously considering on rethinking as his troubles grew. Namely because a few weeks ago he had also started getting a few love letters from girls he hadn't even met. He took the chance of opening one and was startled by the outrageous declarations of love and destiny. To be polite he didn't through them away immediately but rather kept them in trunk under one of his robes. That was his first mistake. Blaise, who had somehow known he received the letters, dug into his trunk, recorded all the names of the girls, and responded to them in kind.

He wasn't even aware of any of these transactions because Blaise told the girls to have them delivered straight to his dorm room. One day he'd forgotten in his textbook for Transfiguration and discovered an owl resting on Blaises bed. He found a dozen letters addressed to him on Blaises' bed and he nearly had a fit when he opened them to discover Blaises' prank.

He finished the last letter signed: Endearing and lovingly yours, Romilda Vane. This explained why a few of the girls tried to corner him during breaks, and also the constant lash batting he'd gotten from Romilda. He had actually earned a few slaps from girls who called him a "cold bastard" after he stopped them from kissing them. They had also taken to stalking and chasing him, he guessed a few of them had found out about the rest of the girls Blaise had written to, and plotted their revenge or whatever scorned women felt like doing. Kurama crushed the paper in his hands as the door opened.

"Hey we're really late, and that McGonagall already hates Slytherins as it is. What's the hold up?" Said the soon to be dead Blaise.

Kurama threw the paper ball hitting Blaise directly in the middle of his forehead. Blaise yelped and rubbed his forehead.

"What the heck are you-"

Then Blaise noticed the bed Kurama was on, the opened letters and the paper ball on the ground. Blaise smiled weakly at him before muttering.

"Oh crap."

Kurama grinned chillingly as he continued to crush the letters in his hand. The black boy backed away slowly towards the door he had entered from.

"So," He started and Blaise froze, "care to explain while you can still breathe."

"W-elllll I thought it would be nice if you had a few friends… I mean it's sad to just to have you spend all your time with me and the Potty gang. You need to get out and have a few girls under your belt."

"Like you?" Kurama mocked.

"Umm…"

"Did Draco help you?"

"NO! No, I mean he knew but-"

In a split second, he was in front of Blaise who nearly fell but Kurama caught the front of his robes.

"Did you have a good laugh then?"

"Kinda but I-"

Kurama growled and Blaise shut up when he saw the silver eyes staring at him... Vaguely Kurama wondered why he was even letting this affect him. Usually he would just ignore stuff like this and take it in strides. He was too old to be bothered by this sort of childish behaviour, or so he thought, so why was he acting like it did affect him. He looked Blaise in the eye, this insufferable, arrogant and egotistical boy who was looking at him fearfully. Finally, he blinked his eyes going back to normal, and he let go of Blaise who fell onto the floor with a thump.

"Later." He said grabbing his Transfiguration books though it looked like he would earn a detention now anyway.

"Kurama wait up."

Kurama stomped down the stairs and was at the porthole before Blaise caught his arm. Something was wrong, he thought, something was making his mood become unstable but he couldn't figures out what it could be. This behaviour, he knew, wasn't normal. So he took a breath and removed Blaises hand.

"Alright," He said turning towards Blaise, "if you want me to speak to you again then go to all those girls and tell them you wrote to them."

"What! Half those girls were anonymous."

Kurama laughed. "Then you have your worked cut out for you don't you."

Blaise gaped and then he shook his head. "Well at least that's not as bad as Draco, he told me to lick the toilet bowls clean when I put up his underwear all over Pansy's room."

"Did you actually do it?"

"No comment."

Kurama laughed.

Blaise was able to find all the girls and explain everything to them all, which surprised Kurama immensely. Unfortunately, it didn't do much to improve his situation; the girls who had written him seemed to view the new situation as some kind of challenge. In addition, they were more determined than ever to make him fall in love with them. Or maybe they just didn't believe Blaise and took it as a reason to punish him. Whatever their mind they had united to chase him until he was caught, maybe all year by the looks of it.

That infernal Blaise had barely given him any warning before the girls had snuck up on him in the library! He had only noticed Blaise grinning rather widely before he looked behind him and had seen a bunch of girls trying to sneak up on him from behind one of the plants. He quickly manipulated the plant to wrap around most of them and ran off until he came to his current situation.

"Aw, it's not fair. I've been here much longer than you have and my club isn't even half the size of yours." Whined Blaise.

"Well it's your own fault."

"Ah but I already told them about my letters, so you're more popular than you think."

Kurama had never really been around a human so narcissistic, sure there were a few demons like that annoying clown from the dark tournament, but just not many humans. Blaise had proven nothing but friendly to him, even after the incident with Draco and the whole letter ordeal. Half of the Slytherins ignored him nowadays while the other half just somewhat silently despised him. The latter half had tried to avenge Draco a few weeks back by hiding his books or using magic to make his food rotten. In potions, they made his potion explode all over him and Snape who had been inspecting it. Luckily, the potion they had been brewing was only a sleeping potion, someone had to go get McGonagall to reverse it and even though he had tried to explain it was not his fault; Snape had given even more detentions on top of his current ones. He would be in detention until Halloween. Everything had stopped after Blaise had talked to Draco, which was one of the main reasons he was so lenient with the whole letter thing.

"Blaise you can't borrow my notes for a month."

"What?" Blaise yelled, several of the second years who were still watching; jumped, "Aw c'mon it's not like I set them on you."

"Technically you did, and you didn't warn me they were there either and I don't consider laughing yourself into hysterics while I run for my life. A warning." Said Kurama.

When one of the Ravenclaws giggled, Blaise turned on them. "Get out of here."

The Ravenclaws backed off at that, looking a little hurt. The boy who had been directly in front of him, frowned and walked away.

"Do you have to do that?" Kurama said.

"Do what?"

"Nothing lets go outside."

He didn't know why he'd bother to ask. He knew Blaise had a kind of cruel streak to anyone not in Slytherin. As much as he'd grown to like Blaise, he really couldn't stand the prejudice the Slytherins had towards other people. Especially the house vs. house bits, but more annoying than that was the whole full blood vs. mud blood thing. Hermione explained most of that to him when he had heard Draco talking about mud bloods in general.

"What do you wanna do?"

"I don't know, but it's a nice day we should walk around."

Blaise snickered, "Your so fruity sometimes, ahh but that's what I like about I guess."

"Fruity?"

"Girly I guess, hey your not really going to ban me from your notes are you?" Blaise said.

Kurama felt himself bristle a bit at the 'girly' comment. It hadn't been the first time he had been called but he still never got used to it. It was mostly due to his long hair and his pride would not allow him to cut it anyway.

"Yes."

Blaise moaned mournfully as they walked outdoors. It was the afternoon and there were some other students enjoying the day by sitting around and laughing. He noticed a Gryffindor called Neville who sometimes hung around with Harry, pacing near one of the greenhouses. Curious, he watched Neville glance inside for someone, when he saw Kurama watching him he jumped and ran off.

"Hey you know those Psycho girls actually have a name for the fan club? I can't remember what it is but I bet it's the crimson flowers or something like that."

Kurama's brow twitched. That was all he needed to give Yusuke the ability to tease him for months. If he was lucky, Yusuke would never ever hear about it but then that was unlikely.

How am I supposed to be covert with a bunch of girls following me? Maybe I should dye my hair, wear contacts, change my name, and re-enter the school in a different house.

He smiled at the thought but quickly shot it down. It would be too much of a nuisance to reintroduce himself to everyone again and say he was really Kurama. Though he could always use the bit of potion, he had gotten from Suzuka to change into Youko and potentially kill them all. He smiled wider at that.

"Who's that on the field?" Said Kurama, changing the subject.

"The Gryffindors. I can see their abysmal flying techniques from here. Draco said they were doing their tryouts early this year."

"I forgot Yusuke said he was going to try out for that," Said Kurama ignoring Blaises tone, "let's go have a look at it."

"Nothing better to do I guess."

As they neared the field, they saw Slytherins there watching the Gryffindor team. They were all taunting the team at the top of their lungs. Kurama spotted Yusuke dodging a black ball, and trying to hit it with a small bat in the air.

"I think Potty's playing captain this year." Said Blaise pointing to Harry on the ground talking to Ron.

Yusuke noticed him and waved. Unfortunately, the black ball took the opening opportunity to smack Yusuke in the jaw, almost knocking him off his broom. With a cry of anger, Yusuke swung the bat at the ball with such force that when it hit, it sent the ball skyrocketing to the other end of the field knocking against the school wall. A few peoples' jaw dropped, including Blaise.

"Holy crap."

"I guess that's one way of putting it." Said Kurama, delighting in Blaises' astonishment.

"Did you know he was that strong?" Blaise paused. "Stupid question…why didn't you tell me he was that strong?"

Kurama shrugged, "I didn't think it was important."

"He could kill me! Especially if he finds out about that rumor about him being a gorilla faced idiot who got into this school by beating up Dumble…."

Blaise trailed off as he saw Yusuke flew down toward them. He quickly replaced his indifferent mask into an uneasy smile. Kurama chuckled, that could be a useful bit of information for later.

"Did you see that Kurama! I whipped that ball out of the park!" Bounced Yusuke from the broom nearly crashing into him. "Sorry still getting used to this thing."

"Yes you'll definitely make the team now." Said Kurama.

"Yeah! I was a little bummed with the whole flying a broom thing until Harry and Ron convinced me to try it. You should too and then we can compete!"

"No, I don't think flying will appeal to me like it does to you." Said Kurama.

Yusuke shrugged and hopped onto his broom again. He hovered a few feet above the ground so he a foot above Kurama and Blaise.

"Is it much different from Botan's paddle?" Asked Kurama looking up.

"Hell yeah! I'm controlling it and not holding on for dear life, and I bet I can outrun her on it too!" Yusuke said proudly.

Yusuke did a flip in the air and twirled to face Blaise, who continued to smile shakily eyeing the distance.

"Is he alright?" Said Yusuke turning towards him.

"Mild case of shock I think, anyway where did you get that broom from?"

"Yusuke get back here other people wanna try out you know!" Yelled Ron.

"I'm borrowing it from the school, I'll catch up with you later Kurama" Said Yusuke before he flew off towards Ron and Harry.

Kurama gave Blaise a small slap on the back, which made the boy jump slightly.

"Come on lets go work on our homework." He said turning toward the castle.

"Hah! I knew you wouldn't hold out for long." Said Blaise triumphantly following him.

"I never said I'd give you my notes you know."

"Aww don't be like that." Whined Blaise trailing after him.


Meanwhile Draco sat in the bleachers, or at least he was until a minute ago, after Kurama and Blaise had left, he proceeded to make a swift exit. Seeing them together always angered him. Even his favourite sport of taunting the Gryffindors didn't cheer him up right now. He hurried down the steps hoping to get far enough before anyone followed him, namely Pansy who he wasn't in the mood to talk with.

It just bugged him every time he thought about Kurama and Yusuke, it wasn't just the fact they were from another country, he could just sense they were...different. Especially earlier with Yusuke hitting the ball from across the field like that, he swore he saw him glow for a second, or maybe he was just crazy. Blaise said he never saw anything out of the ordinary but he was starting to become less trustworthy as his friendship with Kurama grew. He'd thought maybe it would have ended after the whole letter prank Blaise and he had orchestrated but that didn't seem to affect Kurama in the least. At least that's what Blaise had said anyway, and then he had to go off saying he didn't want to do something like that again. The idiot was going soft. Then maybe getting close to Kurama would cease this curiosity about them and he would finally see them for the mundane people they were.

"Draco wait up."

Pansy must have noticed he was gone. Not caring what she would think he ran off into the school until he reached the common room. He spotted Kurama and Blaise doing homework in a secluded corner of the common room, maybe he would decide to join them today.


Hiei scowled. This stupid human school had shields to stop normal humans from entering; he'd gotten a little bit of a stinging feeling from passing through it but not any major difficulty. In short, the school's defences were pitiful. Whatever Kurama and Yusuke had been doing while they were for the last month wasn't anything special that was for sure.

"Teh, those idiots can never do anything without me."

It was dark as he stood on top of the school wall, there was hardly enough moonlight for anything to be visible, not that it was much of a problem. The castle was huge, he admitted, with a few dim lights creating a constellation across the schools walls. He took a step preparing to jump, and then something wrapped around his ankle. He quickly used a bit of fire burn it and he felt it slump against his foot, releasing him. He used a small bit of energy to create a small flame in his hand. The fiery light revealed the charred remnant of a long, green plant with large thorns.

"A vine."

No sooner were the words out of his mouth when the vine tightened on his ankle and suddenly he saw the whole wall come to life with vines surrounding him. He cursed loudly as the vines wrapped around his hips and chest, quickly he used fire to burn the vines, but they would just revive. He slashed the vines trying to surround his arms and the vines around his chest tightened in response, cutting off his air supply. Thorns lengthened to stab at pressure points in his legs making them useless.

Damn plants!

A multitude of vines sprang up from the wall to engulf him all at once. Twisting and tightening to what he imagined looked like a large cocoon. So there job was to immobilize and capture was it. Kurama really was getting too soft for his own good, he thought. He concentrated and focused an intense blaze of fire to surround the cocoon. He could smell the plants burning under the intense heat and the vines tightened around him as if it were trying to retreat into itself. The heat got hotter almost making he sweat and finally the plant went crazy. They unravelled around flinging towards the ground where he landed on his useless legs onto the grass. After a minute he dissapitated the flame, and the plant settled back onto the wall. However, a side of the wall was now stained black. Survival was the most important instinct to all creatures no matter what influenced them.

"Well I wondered how long you would keep me waiting. Are you allowing Kuwabara time with your sister then? Said the amused voice of the fox demon.

"Tch. That oaf wouldn't try anything unless he wanted a broken neck."

"I wouldn't count on that; some things are worth dying for after all."

Kurama came up behind him wearing the ridiculous wizard robes that looked like dresses that humans' females wore.

"Your defence on the wall if pitiful." Said Hiei.

"Oh?" Grinned Kurama playfully, "Well stand up and we can go discuss something better."

It was then he noticed the stinging feeling still in his legs, the thorns were still embedded on the pressure points in his legs. There wasn't much blood since it wasn't supposed to cause fatal injuries. Hiei was glad of the darkness as a blush quickly warmed his cheeks. The stupid fox knew very well that he couldn't move.

"It served its main purpose even though I knew the plant would give up when it was against a strong opponent. After all, it gave me all the time I need to get here."

Not saying anything, he removed the thorns from his legs. His legs shook a little but you couldn't notice it because of the coat he wore. Poison too, the fox really did equip the plant with everything.

"Don't worry it isn't very strong."

"That might be a mistake." He said evilly.

"But then you would be dead and I couldn't question you. What use is that?"

Kurama always tried to have the last say and get the better of him. He swore they could continue like this forever if he let them.

"You should have known better than to just jump into this place while I'm guarding it." Kurama grabbed a vial from his pocket and handed it to Hiei. "Drink that and the poison will be gone before it circulates, or else you won't be able to move at all."

Hiei downed the blue liquid in one shot. It tasted vile, of course, like a rotten tomato and smelled like oil. He ignored the smirk on Kuramas face, as the taste didn't leave his mouth. He wondered if Kurama intentionally did it sometimes. Glancing up at the foxs smirk, he knew the sadistic idiot probably did.

The shakes soon stopped and he glared at Kurama.

"Hmm?" Said Kurama.

"…"

"You're Welcome."

"Let's go." He grumbled.

"I guess you'll just have to come to my dorm then and we can decide what to do tomorrow. It will be Sunday after all but I have detention with Snape again. I guess I'll just take a rain check."

"Enough with the inane chatter already and go."

"Hold on." Said Kurama taking out his wand from his sleeve. "Scorgify"

The blackened wall cleaned itself and returned to normal.

"Magic is useful for some things."

Then they wandered up the school not talking much of course. Hiei wasn't very impressed by the moving pictures and stairwells. However, the fox did get him to speak up again when he mentioned the safety of Yukina.

"Genkai is more than capable of the task."

"You would trust someone else with your precious sister?"

He didn't answer immediately as they turned a corner to a stairwell down to the dungeon.

"It was getting boring with Kuwabara I couldn't stand that carpet headed mongrel any longer."

"I'll take that as a 'yes'." Said Kurama teasingly.

"As if"

"Hiss"

Hiei turned at the sound and saw a raggedy cat staring at them from the top of the stairs before it bolted out of site.

"That's Filch's cat," Kurama explained, "she'll run along to alert her master of us."

"Heh, a cat for a lookout, this school's defences really is pathetic."

"The ones you can see at least."

Kurama stopped in front of a wall at a dead end.

"Gryffindors drool."

Then the wall moved revealing a portal to the common room.

"What kind of password is that?" He asked disdainfully.

Kurama shrugged. "Draco isn't very creative, but I swear if the Gryffindors knew where the entrance was they could get in after two guesses."

"Heh"

"Where are the pesky night walkers my sweet?" They heard from a distance accompanied by a soft purr.

"That's Filch now; we'd better get in then."

Hiei followed Kurama in the portal, which quickly closed behind them. His first impression of the Slytherin common room wasn't immediate dislike as he thought it would be. The colours were silver and green, which he didn't mind, and the furniture was a bit elegant he supposed. Not that he cared in the least though.

"You can sleep in here or any empty room you find. Just don't let the students see you."

"I'm not an idiot Kurama."

"I'll be up that stairwell for the boy's dormitory on the first door to the right."

He saw Kurama quickly cover a yawn. For a split second, he thought he sense, something off about the fox demon but then it was gone so fast he thought he had imagined it.

"I'll see you in the morning Hiei."

"Yeah."

Then Kurama was up the stairs. He would have been fine outside by a tree but he guessed Kurama had known how tired he was. He had left Japan a few days after Kurama and Yusuke, but since Koenma didn't want him to leave the country, he had restricted him from the use of portals. He swam, and ran all the way here for over a month. Human transportation was out of the question as far as he was concerned.

Hiei headed up the stairwell opposite to the one Kurama had taken; he silently peeked into a room that turned out to be empty. The covers on the bed were green and silver as was the rest of the dorm. Though there were frilly lace on the end of the bed sheets, he decided to ignore it though and fell asleep almost instantly.


There's another one here now. Stronger than the last few.

"What?" He said Harry sleepily.

Harry grumbled as looked at his watch on the nightstand. Readjusting his position so he could go to back to sleep.

We'll take care of it tomorrow the other two will know where it is.

Harry grumbled again as he heard Yusuke snored loudly.

I know I've been on Hiatus for a while……ok longer than a while but here's another chapter. Now that' Hiei is here things will get more exciting.

. Until next time!
