Chapter Two - London
"Now boys, don't get into too much trouble, alright?" Botan teased. Yusuke huffed. "Oh, and remember, they speak the language English in London? You'll find out you can already speak it, courtesy of Koenma's powers" she smiled while the three raised their eyebrows but they trusted her.
Keiko, Yukina, Botan, and even Kuwabara had come to bid the three demons good bye. The group of seven stood by the gate. They had started boarding and their seats had been called.
"You better write Yusuke," Keiko said while giving him a quick hug. When she pulled away, Yusuke was smiling warmly.
"No problem."
"Well, we better get a move on or we'll miss our flight," Kurama pointed out.
Hiei never said a word or looked back, but he seemed nervous since Yukina was standing beside him. He wondered if she would ever find out the truth.
They all said there last fare wells and the three headed onto the plane.
The flight was very long and their seats were separate. Yusuke was in the farthest seat back, stuck between a chubby couple who snored the whole flight. He spent the whole time grumbling about Koenma doing this on purpose or eating the plane food.
Hiei was on an aisle seat, he sat next to an annoying, little girl who kept bouncing around in her seat and trying to poke Hiei's hair with a fake, fairy wand. Mysteriously, that wand soon caught fire.
Kurama meanwhile had a window seat near the front of the plane. He was having a pleasant conversation with a middle-aged woman sitting next to him. They talked about everything from movies and books to politics and education.
Occasionally, there would be a peanut fight between the three. The stewardess dismissed their fun soon after, there were peanuts all over the cabin floor, even up Yusuke's nose. Hiei fingered his hidden kanta; he took orders from no one. But with a pleading look from Kurama, he huffed quietly and slipped his sword back under his robes.
From Japan to London, the flight was at least thirteen hours. By the end of the flight, all of them were stiff.
"So who are we supposed to be looking for?" Hiei asked Kurama. Yusuke looked over the crowd, as if expecting to see some one he knew.
"There is supposed to be a group of seven people, I think, picking us up. Five are red heads called the Weaslys and then there are two brunettes." Kurama looked up from a piece of paper, probably intructions from Koenma for when they got off the plane, and looked around. "Well, lets start looking."
Hiei nodded, "Right." The three split up. Kurama walked to the pick up area. Hiei went to the baggage claim, to get a better view he took a ride on the carousel (the thing that carries the bags around for people to pick up). While Yusuke headed to the food court.
They had been looking for awhile when Kurama spotted a mess of red hair, waiting by the windows that looked out to the grounds. Most of the family had their noses pressed against the glass to get a better look at the planes. But two brunettes were shaking their heads and laughing at the others.
Kurama quickly walked over to the group and stopped in front of a woman who looked like the mother. His language slipped into English when he spoke, "Hello there, you wouldn't be the Weaslys, would you?" So Botan was right.
The woman smiled and stuck out her hand, "Yes we are, my name's Molly Weasly. Are you one of the three we're supposed to pick up?"
Kurama shook her hand, "Yes, my name is Suuichi Minamino. The other two are looking for you. Yusuke is at the food court while Hiei is by the baggage claim."
"Don't be fooling yourself 'Suuichi', I'm right here." Hiei spoke. He was standing behind Kurama, no emotion on his face. Hiei's sudden appearance startled Mrs. Weasly. She yelped and fell head over heels over a seat behind her. Two twins by the windows were trying to hold in their laughter, but were failing miserably.
Mrs. Weasly collected her self and stood up. She gulped and turned to Hiei, "Hello, my name is -"
"Don't bother, I heard," Hiei interrupted. He was glanced over at the rest of the family.
"Oh! Where are my manners?" she said after realizing where Hiei was looking.
"Still on the floor," snickered the twins.
"This is my family. The two twins are Fred and George... or George and Fred. There is Ginny, Ron. And the these two," Mrs. Weasly pulled the two brunettes to the front "are Hermione Granger and Harry Potter."
"Hello" Kurama smiled.
"Hn" (if you don't know who said that then why are you reading this fic?)
There was an awkward silence and then Mrs. Weasly spoke again. "Well, we should go find your friend. Yusuke was his name, right?"
Kurama and Hiei both nodded.
It didn't take long to find Yusuke in the food court. He stood out among the crowd. He was the only one with a table piled with enough food to feed even the hungriest of saiyans (dbz).
After the repeating of introductions, the group left London Airport in a large, black car, courtesy of Dumbledore and the Ministry. It was a little squished so the twins got to sit in the trunk.
The Burrow wasn't far away, maybe half an hour. Which was good since Hiei, Kurama, and Yusuke were stiff enough from sitting such a long time on the plane.
The Weasly house was tall and looked unstable but it seemed to hold itself together somehow. The whole family filed into the house, the three demons coming in last.
Sitting at the table were four people the detectives have never seen. The closest was a man with bright red hair, probably the Weasly father. Next came a young woman with short bubble gum pink hair, she winked at Hiei whose cheeks turned slightly pink. The next man was hunched over a chair, he had a glass eye that landed on everyone in the room in turn but seemed to spend most of its time watching Hiei, Kurama, and Yusuke with keen interest and suspicion. And last (but not least) was a young man who had looked to have too many gray hairs for his age, but he had a kind smile.
"Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke. This is my husband Arthur Weasly," Mrs. Weasly said while walking over to the group. "Tonks," she nodded to the pink haired girl. "Mad Eye Moody," she continued, Moody's eye jumped around in its socket when the three turned to him. "And of course, Remus Lupin." Mrs. Weasly took a breath and turned back to them. "Everyone. This is Suuichi Minamino, Hiei Jaganshi, and Yusuke Urameshi."
"Boys, Hermione, Ginny. Do you think you could show them to their room?" They all nodded and motioned for the three to follow them. They gathered their trunks and walked out of the room to the stairs, and up they went, leaving the group of adults to themselves. They started whispering as soon as they left the room. They didn't realize was that all three detectives could hear every word they said (they didn't even need extendable ears).
"Those three. There is something different about them. Dumbledore says we can trust them but he said not to tell them anything about the Order. We weren't even supposed to bring them to Grimmauld Palace." Mr. Weasly began.
"Yes. And now none of the other children can go either. Me and Arthur have to stay here and watch over them." Mrs. Weasly said.
"I don't know what you're all talking about. I liked them. Especially the short one with spikey black hair. He had beautiful eyes... in a dangerous sort of way," Tonks said, she sighed dreamily. "If only he were older."
"I don't know how you ever became an Auror, Tonks" Moody growled. "You're falling for the enemy."
"Now Moody, you know they are not our enemy," Lupin spoke up, Tonks huffed and stuck her tongue out at Moody when he turned his back to her.
"I saw that," muttered Moody.
"I asked Dumbledore why were we supposed to watch them until school. Why couldn't they come with their families? He wouldn't answer. He just said to watch them and not ask too many questions." Mrs. Weasly said sadly. She sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
"Dumbledore won't even tell the rest of the Order about this; he never speaks of it in the meetings. But when he spoke to us it soundly like it was top priority." Mr. Weasly lowered his voice and gulped, "You don't think this anything to do with You-Know-Who, do you?"
The others looked at each other, Lupin shook his head slowly and spoke, "It can't be, he would have told us. This must be something else... right? It has to be."
"Well," Tonks said slowly, "I think we should trust Dumbledore and do as he says. That's all we can do, for now..." There was a hushed silence.
Moody stood up, followed by Lupin and Tonks. "We better leave, Molly, Arthur. We'll stop by and inform you on how things are going at the Order. Good day" Lupin nodded farewell and Tonks waved. And they were gone with a pop.
The three detectives looked at each other. What was the Order? Who is You-Know-Who? Whats going on?
Hermione and Ginny had left them already with a good bye; they headed up a different stairway. The twins soon left too. Only Ron and Harry were left.
The two boys lead them into a room on what seemed to be the top floor besides the attic. There was orange everywhere, orange posters. With books and magazines, a broom and a desk. There were five beds set out in the room; they made the room seem smaller than it was. Two beds were on one side of the room, they seemed to be Harry's and Ron's, littered with letters and cards. Then there were three empty beds on the other side of the room.
Hiei walked over to the bed closest to the window and silently claimed it by placing his trunk by the foot of it. Kurama took the one next to the door while Yusuke got the one between them.
"Mum said dinner would be ready in a few minutes. We're going to see Hermione and Ginny. See ya!" Ron said, then they both headed for the door. Ron walked out and at the door, Harry turned around and said good bye.
"That black haired boy, Harry, he has seen more then his share of tragedies. You can feel it in his presence." Kurama said carefully. Hiei was sitting in the windowsill (as usual), he didn't move. Yusuke blinked at Kurama from the spot on his bed.
Right then, a gray owl with a black chest and feather tips swung in past Hiei and landed on Ron's desk. It hooted and ruffled its feathers, tied to its leg was a letter. Yusuke got up from the bed to get it but Kurama beat him to it. On the envelope was written:
Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama
Highest Room
The Burrow
London
Kurama ripped open it open and read the letter aloud, but only loud enough for them to hear.
Dear Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama,
Dumbledore told me that you all just arrived. I hope things are going well. We're doing all we can to find out about this new threat. If we come up with something, I'll send word immediately. And that goes the same for you three, if something happens, mail me. Inside I have enclosed three keys to the wizard bank, Gringotts. You each have a separate vault and spending money for the year at Hogwarts. Dumbledore has also given you permission to attend Hogsmeade on the weekends.
Prince Koenma
PS: Remember what we talked about. Tell no one, staff nor student!
Kurama folded the letter up neatly and placed it in his trunk. A voice rang through the house, calling everyone to dinner. Yusuke jumped out of bed and practically fell down the stairs. Hiei left silently in a blink of an eye. Kurama was left in the room.
He gazed at the letter for a minute and tapped the trunk closed. But when he left the room, he didn't notice that the letter had flown out from the trunk and landed just by the side of Harry's bed.
Dinner was quiet. No one spoke. They just ate their meals quietly. Even Fred and George didn't pull a joke all dinner. The three demons only paid attention to their meals, but they could feel the constant flicker of eyes over at them.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were the first to finish. They excused themselves from the table and headed for the stairs. When they thought they were out of earshot, Hermione spoke.
"The adults seem worried. I don't know whats going on. Why aren't we staying at Grimmauld Palace? Why aren't your parents going off on the Order business?" she sighed in frustration.
They all came to Ron's room and walked in. But when Harry sat on his bed he saw the letter on the floor, he picked it up.
"What's that?" Ron asked. He and Hermione sat on either side of Harry and read the letter over his shoulder.
