A/N: ::glares at laptop:: Updates are going to be a bit sporadic for a while. My laptop's hard dirve died, so I'm using a friend's computer. Please, bare with me. I've gotta find a Win. 98 startup disk before I can even put my laptop back online. Damn old technology and hard drives.

Kurama will be in this chapter, for those of you who are wondering. There are some vague shonen-ai undertones. You have been warned, So don't you dare flame me about it. Sorry if I'm in a bad mood. I had a flyer dropped on my head during cheerleading, so I have one killer headache.

Arigatou gozimasu to all who reviewed. Also, does ANYONE know how to put things in Italics?

Here's the next chapter.

Day One (continued)

Damn that baby to the darkest of all hells. Hiei was more than just pissed off. All he had managed to find out from Koenma was to talk to Dumbledore. That's it. Shimatte, he could have just skipped the hassle and gone straight to Dumbeldore. But NOOO. He wanted to rip Koenma's lungs out and feed them to Kurama's Death Tree.

Speaking of the fox.

Kurama walked over to where Hiei sat fuming. He knew that there was something wrong with the koorime, as he was looking even more pissed off than usual. That was never a good sign. Carefully, the fox sat down next to Hiei.

"Hn."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Koenma is an ass."

"You're JUST figuring this out now? What did he do?"

Hiei closed his eyes. "He knows exactly what I need to do to bring Yukina back, but he won't tell me. Ahou."

"Perhaps he can't."

"Elaborate."

"Maybe he is bound to secrecy, like Botan is about certain death dates and the like. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he was. But surely he told you SOMETHING."

"Hn. He said to speak to Dumbledore."

"That's a start."

Kurama stood and Hiei opened his eyes to look at him. The fox gently smiled down at him.

"Whatever you do, I'm behind you a hundred percent of the way. I agree with you in disembowelling Koenma, but why don't we wait until this is over?"

"As you wish," Hiei stood next to him.

Kurama ruffled his hair fondly and replied, "Let's find Dumbledore."

~*~*~

He was in the study talking to Yusuke about past missions. When they entered, Yusuke stood and left, a faint smile playing across his face. Dumbledore gestured for them to sit and then rested his chin on his hands and listened as Hiei reaccounted all that Koenma had said.

When they finished, Dumbledore spoke. "There's not much I can do to help you. Personally, I don't know. But i do know where to look it up."

"Where then?" Hiei asked. His patience was growing thin.

"The Hogwarts Library has a vast record of all of the things of that sort. It may be in there, but it will require a bit of time and research."

"Let's do it then," Kurama replied.

Oh joy, thought Hiei. And just when he thought his day couldn't get any worse. Dumbledore was OFFERING to let Kurama into the Hogwarts library. That baka. They might never see Kurama again.

A/N: Meh. It's short, but it's existant. I almost didn't type it, but updates are officially every Thursday except game days.

Please review.
