The Sorting Hat



~Kurama's POV~

We're almost there. "Kagome." I called, getting her attention from Winter. "We're almost

there, and we're suppose to change into our robes."

"Thanks for reminding me." stated Kagome as she grabbed her robes to go change in the

ladies room. (I'm not sure where they change, but she is not changing in front of Kurama.)

Winter was trailing behind Kagome protectively, as if Kagome would be attacked any moment. I

grabbed my robes and went the other way to go change too. Yoko was following me too, I am

confused as to why though.

After changing, we sat back down in our compartment, and once again the foxes curled

themselves up in our laps. After a few more quiet moments, the train stopped. We all filed down

the train, holding our foxes in our arms, so as to not lose them in the crowd.

"First Years!" screamed a tall, large man with a messy beard and hair. A rush of first years

raced to the big man. While the others went in a different directions. Not really thinking about

what I was doing, I grabbed Kagome's hand, afraid I would lose her in the crowd.

~Kagome's POV~

I was scared when someone grabbed my hand, but I relaxed when I noticed it was

Kurama. We followed the giant though a narrow path, filled with thick trees. I didn't know why,

but I had a feeling that Kurama loved it. We finally stopped at the edge of a great black lake, if

you looked up, you could see a castle with many towers. In the lake, there were many small

boats.

"Four to a boat!" hollered the giant. Kurama and I got into a boat, with Yoko around

Kurama's neck. Winter was wrapped around my feet, I bent down and rubbed behind her ears.

When the boat shifted, we looked up to see Harry and Ron.

"Hey Kagome." stated Harry. "You guys don't mind, do you?"

"No." I replied with a smile. I could see Ron blush even in the dark, though I'm not quite

sure why. "Um, Kurama." I nudged Kurama. "This is Harry, and Ron."

"Nice to meet you." stated Kurama.

"Your bloody beautiful." gasped Ron without thinking.

"Bloody?" I asked.

"It's one of Ron's favorite words." explained Harry. "She is pretty." defended Harry.

"She?" I asked, I looked at Kurama. I could tell he felt embarrassed and uneasy. "Harry,

Ron."

"Yes?" asked Ron still a bit nervous from complimenting Kurama, if you can call it that.

"Well, you see." I started. "Kurama is not a she."

"Which would make her a it?" asked Ron confused.

"No." Harry sighed. "Do you mean he?"

I nodded my head, and immediately Ron and Harry apologized to Kurama. "It's okay."

stated Kurama. "It happens a lot at my old school."

"Is that a fox?" asked Ron, pointing to the things curled around Kurama's neck.

"Yes." I replied for Kurama.

"He doesn't eat humans, does he?" asked Ron, backing into Harry.

"No." I replied again. "Winter and Yoko wouldn't eat humans, at least it never happened

before. Ron seemed to relax a bit, but not much.

We soon stopped talking when the boat started moving when the giant yelled. "Forward."

~Kagome's POV~

After we left the boat, we walked up the stone steps of Hogwarts to the oak doors. I

spotted Draco looking at me with that look again. Then suddenly the doors swung open. "This is

Professor McGonagall." cried he giant. Slowly we followed her though the castle, when she

stopped in front of another door.

"Welcome to Hogwarts." stated Professor McGonagall. "There are four houses,

Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. While you are here, the houses you are sorted

into will be like your family. Triumphs will earn you house points, and rule breaking will cost

them. At the end of the year, the house with the most points win the house cup. The sorting

ceremony will begin shortly."

Then she disappeared behind the doors. As soon as the door closed, I felt a pair of hands

wrap around me. It was a boy with long white hair, but definitely not Sesshoumaru. "Kikyou." he

whispered.

"I'm not Kikyou, so please let go." I ground out.

"Don't lie to me Kikyou, are you mad at me for not telling you? I know I was wron.."

started the boy.

"She is not Kikyou." stated both Kurama and Sesshoumaru. Before we could argue any

further, the door swung open, and we walked in.

There in the middle of the aisle sat a hat on a stool, which suddenly started moving, and

then began singing.

I am the sorting hat.

I will put you where you ought to be.

I might be ugly,

But never judge on what you see.

You might be in Gryffindor,

Where the brave and daring dwell.

You might belong in Hufflepuff,

Where they are loyal and patient.



Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,

Where those who are of wit and learning.

Or perhaps in Slytherin,

Where they are cunning, and will do all to achieve their goal.



Just put me on.

Your in safe hands.

I will sort you into your house.

For I am a thinking cap. (Okay, so I changed some and deleted quite a bit.)

Everyone clapped, then Professor McGonagall called. "Granger, Hermione." She walked

up and put the hat on. After a while, the hat called. "GRYFFINDOR!" Everyone at Gryffindor

clapped their hands.

"Higurashi, Kagome." I slowly walked up the aisle, with boys whisling to me and

whispering about me, but I wasn't paying attention. I slipped the hat on and thought I want to be

in the same house my father was in, though I don't know where he was.

So you want to be in the same house as your father? asked the hat telepathically. Yes. Do

you know where he was? Yes, replied the hat. You are quite like your father, but also very

different. "SLYTHERIN!"

I slipped off the hat and walked to the Slytherin table, where everyone there was clapping.

What the hat mean, I am like father, yet very different? "Houshi, Miroku". (bare with me please.)

"HUFFLEPUFF." cried the hat.

"Malfoy, Draco"

"SLYTHERIN." the hat cried before he even slipped it on.

"Miko, Kikyou." I looked up, she really did look like me. I could see the boy who hugged

me jaw drop and gave me an apologizing and guilty look. While the other boys started hooting

again.

"SLYTHERIN!" yelled the hat immediately.

"Minamino, Shuichi." I glared at Kurama as he walked up. He gave me a look that said

he'll explain later. He told me his name was Kurama, then why did they call him Shuichi? Did he

lie to me? I could hear all the girl's sighing and whispering about how cute and handsome he is. I

couldn't argue with that.

"Another red head?" I could hear Draco snort. I glared at him, but he didn't seem to

notice.

"GRYFFINDOR!" the Gryffindor's cheered once again.

"Potter, Harry." Harry sat there for a long time, when the hat cried.

"GRYFFINDOR."

"Taija, Sango!" I quickly looked up. I was so surprised. Sango looked in my direction and

gave me a thumbs up and our code that we need to talk.

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Taisho, Sesshoumaru." Once again, the girls stated again. Kurama, I mean Shuichi, and

Sesshoumaru must be the two hottest and cutest guys in this school.

"SLYTHERIN!" I groaned, why him, and not Kurama? Oh well, life can't always go your

way. I was wrong, the only seat left was the one next to mine. He sat down, and we immediately

started a glaring contest.

"Taisho, Inuyasha." oh, so their brothers, and his name is Inuyasha. I'll remember that.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"WHAT!" screamed Inuyasha at the hat. Everybody went quite and stared at Inuyasha. "I

want to be with Kikyou! Why couldn't you make a switch with me and Sesshoumaru?!" The

professors came and pushed Inuyasha toward the Gryffindor table. Inuyasha was still ranting

something about a stupid hat who doesn't know anything as they continued.

I could tell the Gryffindor table wasn't happy about Inuyasha. They must have felt

insulted by his outburst of wanting to be in Slytherin instead of Gryffindor. "Weasly, Ron."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Finally the sorting was over, and we listened to the headmaster say, "Tuck in." Then we

started eating.

PLEASE read and review!

I WANT to KNOW if I should start a new fic. It's going to be a love story between Kagome and

Yoko Kurama. If three of you say yes, I'll start. Don't ask for much of a summary, because I

don't know it yet. The soap opera, which will be taken from, just started a week ago on KTSF at

9:00 pm. If you watch it, you got the point.

Review Responses:

Anime Fan: I agree there aren't much. So I am deciding wether or not to start another Kag/Kur.

What do you think?

Kag+Kur4ever: Sorry I couldn't put Kagome in Gryffindor! You'll find out why later on, more

like the end. It does seem Kag/Kur is winning.

The Youkai Nightmare: Yeah, I had to bother my cousin a lot to make her agree to start it for me.

Crimsonseer: thanks for joining, and please update soon! I hate to be left hanging.

Chihiro: Nice to hear you like my fic. So you like Kag/Kur pairings too?

SESSHOUMARUS_GIRL: Sorry, I can only count it as one! Please don't kill me! I'm just going

by majority vote!

Rured: I agree with that life isn't easy or some fairy tale. If Sess/Kag wins, then it will be as you

said. But if Kag/Kur wins, you can be sure I don't make things easy. Everyday for me life is hard,

so I wouldn't make theirs any easier. Well, I'll just have to wait for the vote to end first.

Sunstar: Okay, I promise I won't make it a Hermione/Sess or Sango/ Sess if Kag/Kur wins.

Michelle: Well, is this fast enough? I need a break in between so, I take a day off.

Mar: Is this enough for today? I hope so, because I'm tired.

Mizu: That would be scary! I think Cassandra is a beautiful name! Unlike mine. Yeah, I made the

sorting hat sing, but I changed a bit. I think.

CHA CHA girl: I promise I won't hook Sess to Hermione! Whatever the pairing ends up to be,

the other will still be a friend, a very good friend!

Dragonruler212: Nice thinking cousin! Yeah, and I watched it! It fits perfectly, sort of. I'll try it,

but I'll asked others first.

Choclate: Nice to meet my cousins friend. Well kinda met. I think I'll skip on the sashimi stuff,

but thanks for the offer.

Daisy: I take it you hate Sess/Kag pairings? You sound a lot like one of my friends, she despises

that pairing.

Umiko: Thanks for the support on Kag/Kur.

CrissyKitty: Yeah, it does, doesn't it. But that doesn't mean it's gonna be easy. Your lucky you

like both pairings.

DannyKen23: Thanks for the vote! It has been counted!
