A/N: Konnichiwa! Sry if I spelt that wrong. Do you like that I've put in a little Japanese? I'm just starting to memorize terms. One thing I can't get out of my head that I read in a fanfic "Oi baba" (hey grandma) which was Yusuke talking to Genkai. But you don't care about that. You just want to read the fic! So let's get to the fic, please R&R!
Chapter Two: Diagon Ally
Again, Yusuke felt that fast flying feeling. Finally, I'll be able to sit and watch TV at home he thought. But where they landed wasn't quite his living room. Yusuke felt the flying feeling stop, but still was unable to stay standing. When he opened his eyes, Botan and Kurama were standing above him while Kuwabara was on the ground with him.
Yusuke stood up and looked to his left and right. He was inside of a building filled with books. He saw a long ally leading in both directions outside on the street. Reading one of the book titles, Yusuke said,
"Magical Drafts and Potions, what a nice title. Where are we, Botan?" He looked over to Botan who seemed to be reading her list.
"We're in a store called Flourish and Blotts, our first stop to get our school books. Come along now, we'll find what we need and be on our way to the next store in a few minutes." Botan stepped to the front desk, and began to talk to the wizard standing there. After about twenty minutes, they each had their books along with a cauldron each and had paid for them.
"Has anyone seem Hiei yet?" Asked Kurama, paying for his new belongings. Kuwabara and Botan shrugged while Yusuke seemed to be ignoring him. "Yusuke, what are you looking at?" He asked, walking over to the front window where Yusuke was.
"Look at all those birds and bats and cats and wow that's a lot of animals." At the word 'cats' Kuwabara had come running over to the window. After staring for a second he ran out the doorway saying,
"Next stop, pets!" The other three followed him into the shop. The sound they heard upon entering made Yusuke cover his ears for a second and Botan cringe. Kurama seemed not to notice the noise at all. "Man, look at all the kitties! Here kitty kitty, here kitty kitty." Kuwabara had run straight to where the cats were, and began trying to coax one of them to come to him. At the moment, they all seemed very afraid of him.
"I'll be right back, I'm going to ask if these are all the animals they have." Said Kurama, walking towards a person who looked to be the manager. Yusuke and Botan walked over to where all the owls and bats were perching.
"A bat, wouldn't that be a cool pet. I think that's what I'll get, a vampire bat. What do you think, Botan?" Yusuke said with a grin on his face. Botan cringed, but decided not to answer. Instead, she began to look at all the owls.
"Ooohhh, look at this one. It's a.. barn. owl. Cool! I think I'll get a barn owl." She grabbed a cage, putting it up to the barn owl. The owl calmly stepped into the cage and turned around to face the doorway, which Botan quickly closed.
As Yusuke continued to look at the bats, Kurama was talking to the worker at the front desk. "So you are 100% positive that you don't have any foxes here?" he asked, praying that the worker had just forgotten to look somewhere.
"Mister, for the one hundredth time! We don't have foxes. We only have owls, bats, cats and toads. " Kurama sighed, and the worker stepped over to Kuwabara who was ready to buy his cat while Kurama walked over to Yusuke by the bats.
"Well, they don't have any foxes so I'm going to get my pet else were. You thinking about getting a bat?" Yusuke nodded, and stepped towards the bats a little more. Next thing he knew, he had grabbed a bat and it was now shrieking in his hands. He quickly stepped over to the front desk, cutting in front of Botan in line.
"Oi, Yusuke-chan! What do you think you're doing?" Botan said before she saw the bat in Yusuke's hands. Then she stepped to the side with her owl to let them by.
"I want this bat." Said Yusuke, throwing a bunch of sickles and knuts. "And a cage." The worker took the money he needed, then pushed the rest back to Yusuke. "Thanks." Said Yusuke, grabbing a cage and stuffing the bat into it. Finally, the shrieking stopped, everyone except for Kurama paid for a pet, and the four of them left the shop.
"So where to next, Botan-chan?" Kuwabara asked, trying to cuddle a cat that obviously didn't want to be cuddled. Botan stopped in the middle of the ally, and looked at her list of stuff needed.
"Well, we still need our robes and wands and stuff like scales and a telescope and a. glass ball? Oh well, come on it seems we have a lot more shopping to do!" and with that she bounded off into the nearest store.
An hour later, and Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama and Botan were at their last stop on their list. The four were standing in front of a store that read:
Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.
Kurama, who didn't seem to notice the dreary look that covered the whole shop, stepped towards the door and opened it up for the others. Yusuke walked in, followed by Botan and lastly Kuwabara. Kurama entered the building, shutting the door behind him.
"Good afternoon," said a soft voice. Kuwabara jumped. Yusuke, who had sat down, must have jumped too because there was a loud bang and he got quickly off the chair. Botan looked back to see the chair lying on the floor on its side.
An old man was standing before the, his wide, pale eyes shining like moons through the gloom of the shop.
"Erm, hello, we would like some." Botan said, a little nervous sounding.
"Some wands, correct?" Kuwabara nodded and the man continued. "Dumbledore told me the four of you would come. But where is your other friend? Dumbledore said there would be five."
"Hiei decided he would come at a later time." Said Kurama before anyone else could answer. Yusuke couldn't remember Hiei saying anything to them about coming later, but he wasn't going to bring it up.
"Ahh, I see. Well, are you all ready to get your wands?" The group nodded, and Kuwabara stepped forward. "Hello boy. Just a minute." And with that he stepped into the shadows of the back of the store. A couple minutes later, he came out. "Oak, eleven inches, unicorn hair. Try it out boy." He handed the wand over to Kuwabara.
Kuwabara had no idea what he was supposed to do. Recite some magic spell or something? He just stood still, staring at the wand. "Um. what am I supposed to do, sir?" He asked, looking at Ollivander.
"Wave it around boy, wave it around!" so Kuwabara waved the wand around, and to his amazement, a couple of boxes on one of the shelves flew off. Kuwabara dropped the wand, and stepped back saying "I didn't do it! I didn't do it!" Mr. Ollivander again stepped into the back of the store, and returned once again with a wand in hand.
"Here boy, try this. Willow, thirteen inches, rather bendy." Kuwabara gave the wand a swish, and nothing happened at first. Then he waved it around again, and a couple of orange sparks came out of the end of the wand. "Yup, that's the one for you. Here is the box, who's next?"
"Excuse me Mr. Ollivander-san, are you able to make wands right now?" Kurama spoke, stepping forward. Mr. Ollivander nodded in agreement, and Kurama reached back into his hair. He pulled out a long, silver hair and handed it to Mr. Ollivander.
"Hey, isn't that one of your." said Yusuke, but he was hit in the head with Botan's oar (which came out of nowhere, mind you). "Ow! What was that for, Botan?" Yusuke asked as Mr. Ollivander took the hair and walked to a door in the back of the shop. He entered the next room, and shut the door behind him.
"You baka! These people don't know about Yokai and Yoko and stuff! You can't just go telling everyone, they'll get scared!" Yusuke shrugged, and up righted the chair he had sat in previously. Then he sat down, leaning back.
Just then, Mr. Ollivander came out. "Rosewood, fourteen and a half inches, with that hair you gave me. Seems very good for charms I'd say. Try it out young man." As Kurama took the wand in his hand, Kuwabara whispered to Yusuke.
"Hey, how come he calls Kurama 'young man' but me 'boy?'" he asked. Yusuke shrugged, and closed his eyes trying to get some sleep. Kurama recited a spell, and swished the wand. Next thing, there were roses falling all over the room. Botan couldn't tell if Kurama had done an actual spell, or just used one of his attacks.
"Good job, young man. Here is the box, who's next?" Mr. Ollivander asked, looking at Botan and Yusuke.
Twenty minutes later, and everyone had gotten a wand. Yusuke's was Ebony, eight inches with a heartstring of a dragon. Botan had gotten a maple and phoenix feather, seven inches. They had all paid seven gallons each for their wands, and they were now walking back down the street.
"Well, I believe we all had a good day." Said Botan, skipping along in front of the others. Yusuke sighed and watched the sky.
"All of us except for Shorty. Where is he, anyway, Kurama?" Kuwabara asked looking at Kurama.
"I'm not quite sure, but it doesn't really matter. I know he will get his shopping done and meet us at the train station if we don't see him before then." Kurama said smoothly, holding tightly onto his wand in his pocket.
"Well, I guess we should get some sleep and get ready for Monday. Its only four days away, I want to learn as much as I can about this Harry guy." Said Yusuke, still watching the sky.
"Wow, Yusuke wants to learn something, that's a first." Said Botan, who had stopped skipping when people began to stare at her. Yusuke had an urge to punch her, but he decided against it.
"Yo como shee." Said Yusuke (A/N: I believe that means "oh shut up" in Japanese, tell me if it doesn't) Botan looked back at him furious. But she decided against hitting him with her oar, instead turning around and continuing to walk down the street.
A/N: Okay! Next chapter, we get to meet Harry and his friends! The train ride is next, and maybe getting sorted. We'll see. Please R&R!
*Yusuke appears* "Why are you always so nice?"
O.O Yusuke! Why are you here? Oh and I act nice because that's how I get people to read my stories!
Baka, you should just tell them they have to review, or I'll blow them to bits with my spirit gun.
O.O No Yusuke! That's mean! *Kurama appears* KURAMA! *attacks Kurama*
O.o Uh oh! Come on Yusuke, I'm just here to get you outta here! So let's go before this girl gets me! *Yusuke and Kurama disappear*
@#$%! I almost had him that time. Lol anyway, please R&R and I'll see you next chapter!
