Crystal: Hello all, and welcome to my first Yu Yu Hakusho fic! Now, I do not own YYH, and I do not own Harry Potter, and anyone who died in either are alive now, I'm not mentioning names. The term 'Jumi' comes from the game 'Legend of Mana' by Squaresoft, so it doesn't belong to me either. The only character in my use is Oracle, who is a Jumi, all others belong to Squaresoft.

Crystal: Anyway, I would like to dedicate this whole story to the author Siora. I used only three ideas from her story, which you fill find under my favorites list. I used the fact that the team was going to 'protect' someone at Hogwarts, and then something that has to do with demons, but I can not say without giving away the whole plot line. And, I used the idea for them to stay at Grimmauld Place. So, here is the next chapter.

~*~*~

The week following was extremely quiet among everyone, put as Wednesday wound, a new and exciting announcement reached peoples ears.

"Quidditch tryouts?" Yusuke asked. Oracle nodded.

"They have this game here, like that human sport basketball, but it's played on brooms. I've seen it played a few times, and they need about five new players this year" Oracle said. "I think I'm going to try out for chaser, since I've played a few times over summer when I could" Oracle said. "Are any of you going to try?" Oracle asked.

"Hmm, brooms huh? I think that won't be too different from my oar" Botan said.

"We can both be chasers" Oracle smiled.

"Aren't you two getting a bit ahead of yourself?" Yukina asked. They shook their heads.

"Oh, has anyone seen Hiei lately?" Oracle asked, as she noticed her favorite demon missing.

"I haven't seen him since dinner" Kurama said. Oracle's eyes faded a little.

"Is he mad at me for something?" Oracle asked everyone.

"I don't see why he would be mad at you" Yukina pointed out. "You didn't do anything wrong" she said. Oracle didn't seem as excited as she had been over the Quidditch tryouts, and sunk into her chair.

"So" Botan began, "Anyone else going to be trying out for the team?" She asked, hopping to take Oracle's, and everyone else's, minds of Hiei.

"I will" a voice said as the portrait opened and shut. Speak of the devil she thought.

"Hi Hiei" Yukina greeted as he took a seat. Oracle, who by now had her head tucked on top of her knees with her hands over, didn't flinch or move.

"What position?" Botan asked.

"I think maybe a beater. Getting to hit people with things sounds like fun" he said.

"Typical" Yusuke muttered.

"Are you sure there's no more to it then that?" Kurama asked, looking at the apparition. He froze a bit, not noticeable to anyone except Kurama.

"No…" he muttered, looking into the flames of the crackling fire. Oracle had uncurled herself from her ball, and stood, catching the groups' attention.

"If you'll excuse me" she said softly, disappearing up the girls' stairs. A loud slam from a door was heard, and everyone turned to look at Hiei.

"Why are you so mad at her?" Yukina asked.

"I'm not mad at her" Hiei said, not moving his gaze from the fire.

"Then why are you being so cold to her?" Kurama asked.

"I'm not" Hiei said, a prickling feeling running through his body all of a sudden.

"Yes you are" Yusuke said. "She's worried…"

"About what?" Hiei snapped.

"That you've changed" Botan said.

"Girls, for all of this to be easier, maybe we should tell you something" Kurama began to speak up.

"Kurama…" Yusuke said in warning, but the fox didn't listen. They had a right to know.

"That day when you went to get your dresses for the balls and such, we…heard your conversation" Kurama said. The two girls' eyes widened, and they turned to Hiei.

"So that's what this is about?" Botan asked. "I don't find anything wrong with what she said, nothing that would affect you!" she screeched.

"Shh" Yusuke said, listening as a door opened a bit.

"Botan?" it was Oracle, and her voice was hoarse and cloudy. She had been crying again.

"I'm fine" Botan said in a cheery voice, and the door shut again.

"Look what you're doing to her" Yukina said.

"If she gets so upset over little things like that, then we were not meant to be" Hiei said. Botan looked at him, standing in rage.

SLAP.

"How can you be so cold about this? She let you into her heart, throwing away the danger, and now all of her sacrifice is going to a waist because something you heard made you think too much on the subject. You've never, ever had a problem with the way she deals with things. She has just learned to cry after fifty years, and you know how hard it is to learn to control emotions after that amount of time? It's hard, and you…you haven't mastered it yet" Botan turned on her heal, running up to Oracle's room, Yukina following.

Hiei heard as the door opened, and as Botan comforted Oracle. Her cries were heard from there, and then the door closed again. Hiei stood, not looking at anyone as he walked up to his room.

"You'd think the least he would do was comfort her himself" Yusuke said.

SMACK.

"Itai" Yusuke said, grabbing his head where Kurama had hit him.

~*~*~

"They heard us?" Oracle asked, her face red and flushed.

"Yep" Botan said, falling backwards on the bed.

"Ara iie" Oracle muttered.

"Is there anything in what you had said that could have made him upset?" Yukina asked.

"Ano…not that I can think of" Oracle said, looking at her hands.

"Maybe I can help" Botan and Yukina jumped back as Hiei appeared in the room.

"Where in the world did you come from?" Botan asked.

"My room" he answered simply. Botan and Yukina exchanged odd looks. "If you would leave" Hiei said to them, and they both stood, sending glances to Oracle who nodded. They shut the door behind them, but didn't leave.

Hiei sat down next to Oracle on her bed, and she turned to look at him. Their eyes locked, and he was taken aback with the sight of pain in her aqua orbs.

"You were going to explain why you've been ignoring me" Oracle said, trying to burst him out of any thoughts he had, and looking down at her lap.

"I haven't" he said.

"You're lying" Oracle said. "You've been doing this since after the robe shop in Hogsmeade. The only thing I've heard you say directed at me since then was 'nothing'" Oracle said. "What was with the look you gave me?" Oracle asked him.

"One of thought. You were interrupted right before saying something, and I knew that whatever word you said would affect me in one way or another. I've been keeping my distance, not wanting to catch a hint of whatever that word was. But, it has been nagging at the back of my mind since then, and now, more then anything, I want to know what it is" Hiei explained, his eyes focused strait at the wall. "Gomen…" he said.

"No need to be sorry" Oracle said, putting her hands over his clasped ones. He gave her a small smile. "So, we're on a good basses again?" Oracle asked.

"Hai" Hiei answered, and Oracle hugged his arm. He kissed her forehead, and she released his arm.

"So, what is your real reason for joining the Quidditch team? Or do you just really enjoy hurting people?" Oracle asked him with a smile.

"Well, my first reason I gave was real, but I guess protecting you is another reason" Hiei said.

"Good thing flying a broom is just as easy as using my wind to fly. It works extra well when you can control the wind, too" Oracle winked. He laughed a bit, making Oracle's smile widen.

~*~*~

"So, are any of you going to come and try out with us?" Oracle asked the other three as they walked down the corridors.

"We're going" Yukina said.

"But to play, or watch?" Botan asked.

"Actually, I think I might tryout" Yusuke said. (A/N Trust me, this is a good thing. Just think of all the Kurama/Yukina moments now. Am I right, or am I right?)

"Well, then we have two people there to cheer for us" Oracle said.

"But you haven't even made the team yet" Kurama said.

"SHHH, don't jinx it" Oracle said, making Yukina and Botan laugh. They walked into their common room, after giving the new password (Domina). "We have to grab our brooms, but we'll see you both down at the Quidditch pitch, ne?" Oracle asked. The couple nodded, before leaving the common room.

"Even going this fast, ahead of them, we won't beat Oracle and Hiei" Yukina said, as they reached the sixth floor.

"Yes, but it's a gift they both possess, and there's no way we could stop them if we wanted" Kurama pointed out.

"I suppose" Yukina said, kicking a wall slightly as she passed and they rounded on the fifth floor.

"I think that Gryffindor will win many matches this year in Quidditch" Kurama said, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Hmm, why is that?" Yukina asked.

"Well, if Botan is a chaser, then they will score many points in that way. If Oracle joins as well, she can control wind, a large advantage to the team. And with Hiei and Yusuke as Beaters, they have enough rage to knock anybody from the sky, especially if they try to hurt one of the girls" Kurama said.

"I guess your right about that" Yukina smiled up at him. They stepped into the entrance hall, and Kurama turned to Yukina.

"About the other day, when I was trying to tell you something" Kurama began, and Yukina nodded him on. "The thing is…I think I may" Kurama stopped as a large gust blew past him and out the door.

"What was that?" Yukina asked. Kurama shook his head.

"Can you guess?" Yukina thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Wait, what were you going to tell me?" Yukina asked, looking at Kurama.

"Um, nothing, forget it" Kurama said, and they walked out the door and onto the grounds. If things keep interrupting me, it must be some sort of sign. Either it means it's not the right time…or, she doesn't return my feelings. His stomach did a little flip, and he winced slightly at the thought. Sticking to the first would be of safer means to me, then to fret over the second. They reached the Quidditch pitch, walking into a stand and sitting next to other Gryffindor specters, as well as the other Jumi.

"Why are you all here?" Yukina asked.

"To see our little Oracle get chosen of course" Elazul said. The Dia sisters kicked him. "Itai…"

"Did any of you tryout?" Kurama asked.

"No point" Opal said. "We're leaving at the end of this year anyway, and Oracle decided she'd stay for the last year with you all. Then, she'll be coming home after that" Opal said.

"Hopefully, having learned things" Rubeun said, as Diana kicked him.

"Look, there they are" Sapphire said, looking down on the field.

Figures had just appeared, all holding brooms. Oracle and Botan were easy to spot with their bright hair, and Hiei and Yusuke were beside them. Where all of them had gotten brooms, Kurama didn't know, but for some reason, he thought that Botan's was her oar in disguise.

Ron and Harry were standing there as well, but they seemed to be the ones judging who got onto the team. There were about five other people that the group didn't know trying out as well.

The first person in the air was a guy with sandy brown hair, trying for beater. And…to put it simply…he sucked. Out of ten hits he got three. Not very pretty.

Next in the air was a red headed girl, which Kurama knew as Ron's younger sister, Ginny. She was trying out for chaser, and did fairly well.

And so it continued, and soon, it was Hiei in the air. He was on a completely black broom, so black it seemed that the wood just mixed into the smooth tail. In crimson on the side, it said 'Dragon's Flame'. Kurama and Yukina could only guess it was custom made.

Out of all the other beaters who had tried, he did a ten out of ten job, almost breaking a bludger with his bat. Yusuke was up next, his broom made of Mahogany. It was sleek and its tail blended into the wood like Hiei's. In gold letters, on the side, it read 'Spirit Glider.'

He did really well as well, nine out of ten, because not even him had as much fun out of hitting something with rage then Hiei. Yusuke explained later how Hiei had probably pictured the bludger as Kuwabara.

Finally, the girls had turns. Besides Ginny, they were the only other girls to try out, and first up was Oracle. Her broom was made out of Holly, but for some strange reason, it wasn't the dark brown it was supposed to be, but a soft, silvery brown. The tail was a white brown, with sheens of sea green in it. The name fit her quite well in fact. In sea green letters on the side, it said 'Wind Master'.

She completed the task with ease, no sense of her magic used, Rubeun had pointed out. She was actually laughing while doing the whole thing, as if it was a game. Well, it was a game, but that's not the point.

And, finally, Botan came about. Her broom, well, the wood of it, was exactly like that of her oar. The tail was sleek and black, with the words 'Spirit Keeper' on the side. Even if she was going for chaser.

But, unlike her usual self, she rode the broom in the appropriate way. She was even faster then she was usually, tying in skill with Oracle, in her first try.

And, to no surprise, all four of them made the team, as well as Ginny.

"This day, in no way, could get any better" Oracle smiled, as she spun on her toe.

"When's your guys first practice?" Kurama asked.

"Um, next week" Botan said.

"First game?" Yukina asked.

"Two weeks into December" Yusuke said.

"We'll be there to cheer you all on then" Yukina smiled. They stepped into the castle, beginning their way up the stairs to their common room. Pushing open the portrait, the first thing they noticed was a bright, red flyer sitting on the table.

"We really need a message board" Oracle muttered, walking towards the table, and picking up the paper. She let out a little scream.

"What is it?" Botan asked in excitement. She held up the flower. In large black letters, written clearly across the page, it read:

HOGWARTS KARAOKE

December 27, 2002

Great Hall

5:00pm-7:30pm

All students aroused to participate in this activity are asked to sign up with your name(s), house, song, and song artist in the Entrance Hall.

Please consider your will to participate, and we hope to see you at auditions.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

Headmaster

"I have to do this!" Oracle said, smiling. "And I already have the perfect song in mind!" She said, spinning on her toe.

"Oh, me too, me too" Botan smiled, putting her hands together and going all cat like.

"And Yusuke, you got a letter" Oracle said, tossing him an envelope.

"Who'd be writing to me?" Yusuke asked, grabbing the envelope and tearing it open. As he read the letter, his eyes continued to become wider and wider.

"What's wrong?" Kurama asked.

"Keiko…" Yusuke muttered.

"What's wrong with Keiko?" Botan and Yukina asked at the same time.

"She…she wants to visit me for the holidays. Here" Yusuke said.

"But, how will she be able to?" Hiei asked, crossing his arms and leaning against a wall.

"She said she had gotten permission, and will be here on the 14 of December" Yusuke said.

"Then, Koenma and Dumbledore must have given her permission. That's the day before we get out of school" Botan said.

"And the day of our Quidditch game" Oracle said.

"She'll be there that night" Yusuke said, flopping into a chair.

"What, not excited about seeing Keiko?" Botan asked, peering over him.

"No…actually, I'm pretty happy…just…thinking" he said with a smile.

"Oh, I have to write her and tell her about the contest, maybe Dumbledore would allow her to participate" Botan smiled, taking out some paper and beginning to write to Keiko.

"This sure will be an exciting Karaoke" Oracle smiled, as she sat down. "Are either of you guys gonna join?" She asked Kurama, Yukina, and Hiei.

"Hn" Hiei answered. Oracle smiled, completely knowing his answer.

"Possibly" Kurama said.

"I think so" Yukina said.

"Oh, I have the perfect song for you then!" Oracle said, pulling her over and whispering something in her ear. She blushed.

"Uh…maybe not" she muttered.

"Come on, it's not like their going to know it's them" Oracle said. Yukina sighed with a smile, and nodded.

"Alright" Yukina said. Oracle jumped, her hair, which was pulled into a ponytail, bouncing.

"Come Botan, we shall practice" she said dramatically with a slight giggle. Botan laughed, following the other girls up the stairs.  

~*~*~

Crystal: Another chapter done. Now, as you can see, I've decided this will be a Hiei/Oracle story. They have a lot in common, and Hiei will like her. I mean, she can fight for herself, and she likes to taunt Yusuke (or make his worst dreams…realities.) Yea, that's more like it.

Crystal: Now, my friend *DreamerStarM* said that a Yukina/Kurama coupling would be original, and I like original, so I'm going to lean towards that. Besides, Hiei would trust Yukina more with Kurama then with Kuwabara.

Crystal: So, now that that's all clear, I would just love some reviews and feedback. And the next chapter will be out ASAP, or as fast as I can type. 21 stories, I have a lot on my shoulders. I will get back to Prophecy of Eight soon, but, again; I am stuck in the depths of writers block for that story. Anyone know how to save me?

Crystal: I know all of you guys want Kurama/Yukina fluff, but I can't fit it in a lot with trying to work through the kinks in Oracle/Hiei coupling. Their relationship is a complex one, to tiptoe around the rules and keep things secret. Though most everyone knows. As we approach Christmas and New Years, the fluff between Kurama and Yukina increases, trust me. I have this whole story planned out, just little gaps I need to fill in. The ending, in fact, is all planned out in my head, and I might start leaving hints at the end of chapters. Maybe…just to get all of you ready.

Crystal: But I promise, the ending will not be sad. I cannot stand a sad ending, and if it is by any chance the plan in my head backfires and it turns to be sad, I WILL write a different sequel then the one planned. And also, I have a lot of songs planned out, but I need one for Ron and Draco. Ron's shouldn't be relationship wise, but Draco's should be about jealousy for Hiei, cause they both like Oracle. Look, I have a love triangle. How special. Thank you for your help guys!

See ya around…
