Chapter two- Diagon Ally
Kurama's POV (A/N: I will trade POV throughout each chapter. Like one will be Hiei, two will be Kurama and Three will be Hiei again. Got it? Ok)
"Welcome to Diagon Ally!" I heard Mrs. Weasly say. I walked in with Hiei behind me. All I can say is WOW! I never expected it to look the way it did. Witches and Wizards walked along a long path with shops lining each side. People came in one shop and out the other. It was different.
"Uh, Mr. and Mrs. Weasly. Kurama and Hiei need first year things and I am not sure you would like to just sit and watch so I think we will head out on our own," Yara said. Mrs. Weasly said ok and set up a meeting point. Once that was done Yara grabbed Hiei's and my hands. She dragged us all the way down to the end of the path. Once there I saw a white colored building called Gringotts. I frowned and was pulled inside. Once there, Yara let us go and headed out to the last desk. Once there I watched as she changed her Japanese money into three different types of coins. Once done, she turned and walked out of the building. I followed and watched as Hiei stayed in stride with her. I frowned and watched as she turned into a wand shop called Olivanders. I followed and found myself in a room surrounded by walls covered in boxes.
"DEMONS!" I heard someone shout. I looked up to see a white haired old man looking us up and down. "Well, this is going to be hard." he cried. The man disappeared into the shop. We waited and he came back out with a wand. He passed it to Hiei. Hiei stood there looking at it. "Wave it around."
With that said, Hiei waved it. The wand then burst into flames and Hiei dropped the ashes. The man shrieked and ran back to find another. He came out with a new one and handed it to Hiei. The same thing happened again. For an hour I sat there watching as Hiei burnt all the wands he touched. Finally a wand fit.
"Oh, a dragon hair eleven inch! Next up please!" the man cried and turned to me. I frowned and stepped up. The man handed me a wand and I waved it around. I felt something but then the wand snapped. I gasped and looked at the broken shreds. The man frowned and mumbled something about picky demons. About an hour later I finally got a wand. It was a silver fox hair twelve inches. I liked it and it liked me.
Finally we left and headed to a robe shop. Once there, a woman got our sizes and told us to come back in an hour. Ours hand to be made then for our size. She had none that would fit us. We headed out and went to the bookstore. Hiei and I got our first to sixth year study books. Way to many books for me, I must say. After that Yara went and got cauldrons for us. Once that was over with, we headed back to the Leaky Cauldron. But on the way, I saw a pet shop.
"Hey, Yara. Can we go in here?" I asked and pointed to the shop.
"Sure why not," Yara said. So the three of us entered and separated. As I walked around I saw many different owls, frogs, snakes and other things. But when I rounded a corner I saw a fox. I smiled and then felt how much it hated the cage it was in. I frowned and walked over. It was a black fox and I could sense it was female. I turned to go get Yara but heard someone squeal with delight. It was Yara, she pushed past me and opened the cage and took the black fox out. I smiled and turned to walk away when I felt something climbing up to my shoulders. I turned and saw a sliver fox. I smiled and picked it up. I was lucky. It was a male fox. It grabbed the shirt and pulled its self over to my shoulder and lie down. I smiled and walked over to the cashier. Yara was already standing in line; I moved up to her and waited. Once at the counter the cashier cried out.
"THANK YOU!!! OH MY THANK YOU! Those two foxes where getting on my nerves. They escaped from their cages over and over. I have no idea how but they did. No surprise that they are brother and sister like you two," The woman said. Yara and I looked to each other in shock. How did she know that we were brother and sister?
"How did you know that?" Yara asked after a few seconds. The woman looked up.
"They seemed to freak out when brothers and sisters come in here. But none of them ever wanted the foxes. You are the first," The woman said. She turned to get two cages when I frowned.
"They don't like cages. Please, we will take them like this. Thank you for everything," I said. Yara and I put our money down and then walked away. We went to find Hiei only to find him at the door.
"Lets go get something to eat," He said. I smiled and we left the pet store. "Nice foxes, foxes."
"What?" Yara said. I smiled.
"You are foxes and you bought fixes so I said nice foxes, foxes," Hiei said. Yara and I laughed and we soon found a restaurant. We went in and sat down.
"WHAT NO TOFU!" Yara cried as she looked at the menu. I smiled and looked at the menu. I finally found something. We ordered and soon had our food out in front of us and we ate. Yara and I feed our foxes every now and then. I looked up at one point to find Hiei bringing his fork up to his white scarf. (A/N: Don't know what to call it.) From inside the scarf came a black head that ate the food on the fork and then backed into the scarf. Hiei frowned and began to eat again.
"So Hiei. When were you going to tell us about your hand-eye-coordination problem?" I asked. Hiei turned and looked at me.
"What?" He asked. I smiled and imitated him. He frowned and turned back to his lunch.
"So what did you name it?" I asked. Hiei's frown deepened and he looked away.
"Yakima," Hiei finally said.
"Nice name for what?" Yara asked. Hiei reached into his scarf and took out a small furry black thing. He put it on the table and I recognized it as a kitten.
"Oh, a kitten. I thought you hated them," I said remembering how Eiiakachi attacked Hiei at Kuwabara's house. (A/N: I killed that name. Please help me and tell me the spelling!) Hiei shrugged.
"She wouldn't let me go. I was forced to buy her," Hiei said simply. I smiled.
"How do you know it is a she?" I asked. Hiei blushed and turned a deep shade of red. Yara laughed.
"The woman at the counter told me," Hiei answered. I laughed. "So what are their names?"
"Huh? Oh, I haven't thought of one yet," I said and looked over to my fox.
"I am thinking of Kiki," Yara said. I smiled and looked to Hiei. Hiei shook his head.
"How about Koko?" I asked. I heard the fox growl and I laughed. "Don't like that?" I asked it. It shook its head no and looked up in thought.
"How about Kourone?" Yara asked. I looked over to her and she had a caring look in her eyes. I shook my head no.
"How about Fox?" Hiei asked. I laughed along with Yara.
"No way!" I said. Then it hit me. "Kuraro."
Everyone looked at me. Yara's look filled with fascination, Hiei had confusion filling his and the two foxes were with amazement. Kuraro cuddled up to me and I knew he liked it.
"So we have Yakima, Kiki and Kuraro?" Yara asked. I shook my head yes and we all smiled. "So, Hiei, Yakima, Kurama, Kuraro, Yara and Kiki. Is that everyone?"
"Yes," Hiei said with a small smirk on his face. "Are we done eating?"
In reply we each got up. I put the money down for our food and we left. We meet the Weaslys at the meeting point at the right time. Then our huge group entered the Leaky Cauldron. Once in there, Hiei, Yara and I headed up to our rooms. But Mr. Weasly stopped us for a second.
"Come back down with all your stuff. You are going to stay with us for until the train leaves for Hogwarts. Please be as fast as you can," He told us. We agreed and lucky for us, none of us unpacked. We added our things to the stuff we brought and went down stairs.
"Good, lets go!" Mrs. Weasly said. With that we all headed out. We left the Leaky Cauldron and headed toward a new street. We walked down it and headed to area with two houses. I looked at the numbers. One said eleven and the other said thirteen.
"Hn, stupid hiding place for a house," Hiei growled. I noticed what he meant when I cast out my senses and found magic laying all over the area between the two houses. I smiled and watched as Mr. Weasly walked forward and said something to the area. To our amazement a house appeared in the middle of the two. I frowned and we walked in. "Stupid parlor trick." I heard Hiei mumble.
Once inside I noticed Harry was frowning. I watched as he headed up the stairs and into one of the rooms. I frowned and looked around. There were heads and all sorts of junk lying all around.
"Ignore the mess. We are still trying to fix the place up. This place is old. There are strange things around every corner. For example: those curtains up there, They hide a picture of a woman and if you talk to loud you will wake her up and she screams. She is a nasty one. No one likes her all to much," Ron said.
"What is wrong with Harry?" I asked. Ron frowned.
"This is his godfather's house Last year there was a battle and he died. Harry watched it happen even. It hurts Harry a lot to be here. But we must keep him here to protect him," Ron answered.
"Oh, poor Harry. I feel so bad," I said looking up to the area Harry disappeared behind.
"Yeah. Poor Harry. Well, Hiei and you are staying with Harry and me. Yara is staying with Ginny and Hermione. I'll show you two to our room," Ron said. With that Ron ran up the stairs with Hiei and myself behind him. We pasted about five or six doors before stopping. Ron knocked on the door. It opened to show Harry standing there. I smiled and walked in behind Ron and Hiei. Inside there were four beds. Ron and Harry claimed two. I climbed into the one closest to the door and Hiei grabbed the windowsill.
"Don't you want a bed?" Harry asked. Hiei shook his head no and looked out the window.
"So, we have time before supper, who wants to play the learning game?" Ron asked. Hiei and I looked over to them in confusion. "It is where you find out as much as you can about your roommates before anyone else. We tally how many question are answered and whoever has the most wins. We stop when my mom calls supper."
"Ok!" We all said. Soon we found ourselves sitting in a circle. Ron was to go first.
"Right, Hiei. How old are you?" Ron asked. I almost laughed. H never answered that without a question.
"Why do you want to know?" He growled. Ron shook his yes.
"No, your suppose to answer!" He exclaimed. I laughed.
"He never answers that. Even I don't know," I said. Ron said oh and the game continued with Harry next.
"Kurama, why are you here?" Harry asked.
"I am here because I was invited to Hogwarts," I answered. Now it was my turn.
"Harry, what would you say if I could possibly let you talk to your godfather again?" I asked. Harry looked up in shock.
"YOU CAN'T! He is dead!" Harry cried.
"PAUSE!" Ron shouted and looked at me with a cold stare. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?"
"Exactly what I said. I could possibly let Harry talk to his godfather one last time," I said. I then felt Hiei's eyes lock onto me. I ignored it.
"You can't. Sirius is dead. I will never see him again," Harry said.
"Well, I have meet some very powerful creatures who have brought me to the Spirit World to see the dead," I said. The second that sentence escaped my mouth I knew Koenma would kill me. But I didn't care. This boy needed to see his godfather.
"You could go to jail for this," Hiei growled in my ear. I shook my head yes.
"Would you really do that for me?" Harry asked.
"I'll try. But I can't promise anything," I said.
"Ok, enough of this. Lets continue with the game," Ron said. I put a tally on my paper. "Hiei you turn."
"Ron, why did you want to play this game?" Hiei asked.
"Cause I wanted to know more about you and Kurama," Ron answered. Hiei put a mark on his paper. "My turn. Kurama, why did you ask about Harry earlier?"
"Because, I was worried about him for a second. I have seen people so upset over something that they went and killed themselves," I answered truthfully. I watched as Ron wrote on his paper.
"Kurama, why did your mom call you that?" Harry asked. I laughed.
"It's actually not my real name. My mom called me Shuuichi. But I liked Kurama better," I answered. Harry put a mark on his paper. "Ron, do you believe that I can get Harry to see his godfather again?"
"No, I don't. And please don't revert back to that subject," Ron answered. I put a tally down.
"Harry, what happened to your parents?" Hiei asked. I cringed and turned to glare at Hiei. It was a rude question.
"My parents were killed by a very powerful wizard named Voldemort. I was the only one to survive. Voldemort had attacked me also but something happened and he was drained of all energy. I then became the most famous among wizards," Harry said. I had seen Ron winched EVERY TIME Harry said Voldemort and I wondered why. Hiei and I looked to each other. We had no idea Harry was the most famous wizard. Hiei slowly put a tally down and Ron's turn came up.
"So, Kurama. Are you full wizard, half, or have muggle parents?" Ron asked. I frowned. I had no idea how to answer. "Muggles are non magical people."
"Uh, I am not a wizard at all," I admitted. Hiei turned to glare at me. "I am a fox demon. My parents don't know that I am going to Hogwarts. They think I am going to a collage in London."
Ron looked at me in horror. Harry was doing the same. Hiei was just glaring at me. Kuraro had walked over to me in the mean time and lie on my lap. Yakima's head pocked out from under Hiei's scarf and also looked at me.
"ARE YOU KIDIDING?" Ron shouted. I shook my head no.
"I transform into my demon forms on sickle on full moons," I told him.
"Can you do it now?" Harry asked. I shook my head yes.
"Want me to?" I asked. All of them said no. And the game continued with Ron adding a small tally.
"So, Hiei. Same question.
"I am also a demon. I am a half fire half ice demon," Hiei responded. No one said anything for a minute. Then Harry put a tally on his paper.
"So, Harry. How did you become friends with Ron, Hermione and Yara?" I asked him.
"Ron and I meet on the train and talked for the entire train ride. Hermione just added to the picture cause she was a little nosy and soon we became friends. Yara joined our group in the second year when she helped Rona and I out a few times." Harry said. I knew he was hiding something. But I was going to wait. I added a tally and waited for my next turn.
"Harry, what did you do in your first year? And tell me everything," Hiei said.
"Well, I went to class, ate and slept all year. Found out a little more about me. That was it," Harry said. But I could sense he was hiding something.
"And," Hiei said. Harry gulped.
"I made sure Voldemort didn't get the Sorcerers Stone," Harry answered. Again Ron winced.
"Ok, my turn. Kurama, how old are you?" Ron asked. I smiled.
"Sorry but I never say my age," I answered. Ron frowned and turned to Harry.
"Hiei, what is under your scarf?" Harry asked.
"A kitten," Hiei responded.
"Ron, why do you wince at the name Voldemort?" I asked.
"You-Know-Who is the most feared wizard of all. Harry says his name and I don't cause I am afraid of him. If you know anything you would also say You-Know-Who or He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named," Ron answered with a shudder.
"The fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself!" Harry cried. Ron ignored him and Hiei began his turn.
"So, Harry, do you have any relatives?" Hiei asked.
"Yes. I have an aunt, uncle and cousin. They are really mean though," Harry responded.
"Hiei do you have relatives?" Ron asked.
"Yes, a twin sister. Her name is Yukina," Hiei said.
"Kurama, do you have relatives?" Harry asked.
"Human, I have my mom and brother. Demon I have Yara," I said.
"BOYS SUPPER!!!!" We heard. It was Mrs. Weasly. We looked down and tallied out questions/answers. Ron lost by two while Harry, Hiei and I tied. Before we went down stairs Hiei and I stopped Ron and Harry.
"Don't tell anyone what you found out in this game. It is important," I said. The two agreed and we walked down stairs for supper. Once there, I sat on the end with Yara next to. Hiei was on the other side of her. Across from me was Harry then Ron and Hermione. Next to Hiei were Fred and George then Mr. and Mrs. Weasly. Across from them were Ginny, and a few men. I didn't learn their names. Supper was great! It was the best thing I ever had in a long time.
"That was great Mrs. Weasly!" I said once done.
"Why thank you Kurama. Now sorry but all kids must go up to bed," Mrs. Weasly answered. I frowned but all the kids left. Once out of the room I watched as Fred, George, Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione took something out.
"Extendable ears!" Fred said quietly. I smiled thinking of what else these kids had. George offered us each an ear and we accepted. Harry taught us how to use it and soon all of us were listening in on the adults' conversation.
"What is going on out there Dumbledore?" we heard someone ask.
"Not much I'm afraid. There are no clues to Voldemort's where a bouts. No Death Eaters have been seen for sometime now. I am sorry," I heard a male voice say.
"It is ok. So there have been no signs, but that does not make it ok for us to relax and think You-Know-Who won't attack again. We must be careful, understand?" I heard. I sighed this is boring. I thought. We listened in for a few more minutes before we all headed off to bed. Instead of going to bed I decided to talk to Koenma about Harry's godfather. I waited an hour to make sure everyone was asleep. Once certain I got out of bed and called Botan.
"Yes, Kurama?" Botan asked.
"I need to see Koenma! Can you bring me to the Spirit World?" I asked her. She shook her head yes. I watched as she produced her oar and made room for me to sit. I took the seat and she took off. I hung on for dear life and I mean that. Botan was crazy! She dived turned and dipped so suddenly that I could have been thrown off in a second if not for holding onto Botan. Finally we made it. Botan brought me to Koenma's office and then left. I opened the doors and entered.
"Yes, Kurama? What is bothering you?" Koenma asked upon me entering the room.
"I was wondering if I could let Harry talk to his godfather one last time," I replied. Koenma opened a folder.
"Sirius Black is still alive. He is just so far away that no witch or wizard can find him," Koenma said as he slammed the folder close.
"Does that mean he is in the Demon World?" I asked. Koenma shook his head yes. "Sir, may I go get him?"
"No, I will send Yusuke and Kuwabara to get Sirius. You just keep Harry entertained for now," Koenma answered as he called Botan in. Botan entered. "Botan, please go get Yusuke and Kuwabara. I have a mission for them."
"Yes, Koenma sir," Botan answered. With that she turned and left.
"May I stay and help explain why this is important?" I asked. Koenma looked over to me.
"No need. I was going to tell them to get him anyway. This just gives me reason to go get him faster. Don't worry Kurama. Sirius will come to the house. Yusuke and Kuwabara will help him," Koenma said. I frowned.
"You mean that Yusuke and Kuwabara are going to be part of the mission now?" I asked calmly.
"No, they will drop Sirius off in the middle of the night and then leave. In the morning everyone will wake up, go downstairs and see Sirius," Koenma responded. I smiled.
"That is a nice way to return home," I said. Koenma laughed.
"You better go. Have fun," Koenma called as I left his office. I walked around the Spirit World while waiting for Botan. As I walked around I saw a familiar sight. It was Kourone, my long lost partner.
"Kourone?" I called. He turned.
"Kurama?" He answered. I shook my head yes. He smiled and ran up to embrace me. But he stopped just before reaching me. "How did you die?" He asked.
"I didn't. I am working for the Spirit World. My mission right now forced me to come and ask Koenma's permission to do something. And now I am wait for a ferry girl to return and bring me back to the Human world," I responded. He laughed.
"The famous youkai thief is working for the Spirit world and is mingling with humans. Wow, have you changed!" Kourone said. I laughed and he joined me. It sounded like old times. I loved it.
"Well, I am half human Kourone. After you died, I became recless. It cost me. I was shot and with my last bit of energy I went to the human world and went into an unborn human child. I had planed to rest for eleven years and then leave. I was a jerk when I was younger, a real brat. But then the human mother protected me even though she got hurt. It changed my outlook on life. I have stayed in this body ever since. But someone found out that Youko Kurama still lived and went in search. He found me, but at the wrong time. My human mother was sick and in need of help. This demon wanted my help to steal the ancient artifacts. One was a mirror that gave wishes out to people on full moons. I was going to get that. I did but what happened was that a Spirit detective caught me. The price for asking a wish on this mirror was a life. But this Spirit Detective felt bad for me and dealt with the pain also. Either the mirror could not choose who would die or he took half of each of us, I will never know. But thanks to this detective I was still alive. But the detective still had to get the last member of our group of three. I decided to help. And the next thing I knew, the man and I were given a choice. Help this Spirit detective or go to Spirit World jail for life. We decided to help the detective. Soon one mission was to go to the Dark Tournament. We went and while there one enemy had an item called the Idon box. (A/N: I can't spell!) Its power was to change any one who inhaled the gas from it into a child. But, this man didn't know his opponent was actually two people. Youko Kurama and Shuuichi Minamino. So the box changed me back to Youko form. The man died, but not from my hands. Later as I was thinking the team leader came up to me and gave me the liquid form of the gas. I took it ad used it in the final match. And ever since I could change back and forth. (A/N: I might have messed that up for I haven't been able to see the rest of the Dark Tournament series. All I know is that Kurama has to fight Karasu. Please tell me if I am wrong!)" I told Kourone. He laughed.
"Kurama! Nice story. Oh, your ride is here!" He called. I turned and saw Botan leading Yusuke and Kuwabara away.
"That is the Spirit Detective," I said. Kourone looked over to me.
"You mean Yusuke Urameshi?" Kourone asked. I shook my head yes. "Oh, sorry. I thought you made that story up!"
"No, that is what really happened! Why didn't you believe me?" I asked. Kourone shrugged his shoulders.
"It's just that Yusuke is suppose to be a powerful human. And there are no other human spirit detectives and the fact that you meet him was hard for me to believe. And then, you helping is even harder. Sorry friend," Kourone said. I frowned. I watched as Yusuke turned and saw me.
"Hey, Kurama. Having fun?" Yusuke called. I heard Kourone's mouth drop behind me and I laughed slightly.
"Yes, Yusuke. They are ok," I answered. He walked away from Botan and came up to Kourone and myself.
"Who is this?" Yusuke asked. Kourone was unable to answer.
"This is Kourone," I told Yusuke.
"You mean your old partner?" Yusuke asked, as he looked Kourone over. I laughed.
"Have you heard of other Kourones?" I asked. He laughed and said no.
"He knows about me?" Kourone finally asked.
"Yes, Kurama won't really ever shut up about you. Sometimes on missions that take place in the Demon world Kurama would sneak off to the area you died and just sit and think," Yusuke replied.
"You have been spying on my?" I growled playfully. Yusuke laughed.
"No Hiei has. He just told Kuwabara and myself!" Yusuke said.
"You best go see Koenma," I said finally. Yusuke agreed and left. I said goodbye to Kourone and then left myself. Once back in the Human world and the house I was staying in I slowly got up the stairs and into bed. I was tired. I needed rest bad. After what seemed like hours, I finally feel asleep. But it felt like a minute later that someone was trying to wake me up. I felt myself rock back and forth. I heard someone shout my name. I didn't want to get up. There was whispering then…
"Yara's dead," I heard whispered in my ear. I shot straight up and turned. Hiei was leaning close to my bed and was smiling.
"YOU JERK!" I screamed and lunged for him. Hiei backed away in time and I missed. I rolled out of the bed and landed on the floor looking up at Hiei. "Never say that to me again," I growled.
"It's the only way to get you up," Hiei responded. With that I looked around and saw Ron watching us.
"Man, you are hard to wake Kurama. Maybe I should have asked each of you how to wake you up without dying!" Ron said with a laugh. I growled lightly and got up to brush myself off. That was when Harry ran into the room and wrapped his arms around my waist knocking me over with his body weight.
"THANK YOU KURAMA!!!" Harry cried. He let go and ran back out of the room. The three of us waited a moment listening to Harry rush down the stairs tripping at least three or four times.
"What did you do now fox?" Hiei asked looking at me. I got back up and smiled.
"I went and saw Koenma last night," I said. Hiei and Ron gave me each a strange glance. "Harry got his permission but it was longer than one last talk."
"WHAT?" Ron called as he ran out of the room and downstairs.
"What happened?" Hiei growled.
"I went and asked Koenma if Harry could talk to his godfather one last time. But Koenma said that he didn't die. Only went to the Demon world. Yusuke and Kuwabara had to get him and bring him here. I guess they found him pretty fast," I said. I heard Hiei sigh. "Lets go down and say hi."
"Fine," Hiei growled. And with that we went down stairs.

So? How about more? I think not. You'll have to wait! Ha Ha! Please review!

Kurama's POV (A/N: I will trade POV throughout each chapter. Like one will be Hiei, two will be Kurama and Three will be Hiei again. Got it? Ok)
"Welcome to Diagon Ally!" I heard Mrs. Weasly say. I walked in with Hiei behind me. All I can say is WOW! I never expected it to look the way it did. Witches and Wizards walked along a long path with shops lining each side. People came in one shop and out the other. It was different.
"Uh, Mr. and Mrs. Weasly. Kurama and Hiei need first year things and I am not sure you would like to just sit and watch so I think we will head out on our own," Yara said. Mrs. Weasly said ok and set up a meeting point. Once that was done Yara grabbed Hiei's and my hands. She dragged us all the way down to the end of the path. Once there I saw a white colored building called Gringotts. I frowned and was pulled inside. Once there, Yara let us go and headed out to the last desk. Once there I watched as she changed her Japanese money into three different types of coins. Once done, she turned and walked out of the building. I followed and watched as Hiei stayed in stride with her. I frowned and watched as she turned into a wand shop called Olivanders. I followed and found myself in a room surrounded by walls covered in boxes.
"DEMONS!" I heard someone shout. I looked up to see a white haired old man looking us up and down. "Well, this is going to be hard." he cried. The man disappeared into the shop. We waited and he came back out with a wand. He passed it to Hiei. Hiei stood there looking at it. "Wave it around."
With that said, Hiei waved it. The wand then burst into flames and Hiei dropped the ashes. The man shrieked and ran back to find another. He came out with a new one and handed it to Hiei. The same thing happened again. For an hour I sat there watching as Hiei burnt all the wands he touched. Finally a wand fit.
"Oh, a dragon hair eleven inch! Next up please!" the man cried and turned to me. I frowned and stepped up. The man handed me a wand and I waved it around. I felt something but then the wand snapped. I gasped and looked at the broken shreds. The man frowned and mumbled something about picky demons. About an hour later I finally got a wand. It was a silver fox hair twelve inches. I liked it and it liked me.
Finally we left and headed to a robe shop. Once there, a woman got our sizes and told us to come back in an hour. Ours hand to be made then for our size. She had none that would fit us. We headed out and went to the bookstore. Hiei and I got our first to sixth year study books. Way to many books for me, I must say. After that Yara went and got cauldrons for us. Once that was over with, we headed back to the Leaky Cauldron. But on the way, I saw a pet shop.
"Hey, Yara. Can we go in here?" I asked and pointed to the shop.
"Sure why not," Yara said. So the three of us entered and separated. As I walked around I saw many different owls, frogs, snakes and other things. But when I rounded a corner I saw a fox. I smiled and then felt how much it hated the cage it was in. I frowned and walked over. It was a black fox and I could sense it was female. I turned to go get Yara but heard someone squeal with delight. It was Yara, she pushed past me and opened the cage and took the black fox out. I smiled and turned to walk away when I felt something climbing up to my shoulders. I turned and saw a sliver fox. I smiled and picked it up. I was lucky. It was a male fox. It grabbed the shirt and pulled its self over to my shoulder and lie down. I smiled and walked over to the cashier. Yara was already standing in line; I moved up to her and waited. Once at the counter the cashier cried out.
"THANK YOU!!! OH MY THANK YOU! Those two foxes where getting on my nerves. They escaped from their cages over and over. I have no idea how but they did. No surprise that they are brother and sister like you two," The woman said. Yara and I looked to each other in shock. How did she know that we were brother and sister?
"How did you know that?" Yara asked after a few seconds. The woman looked up.
"They seemed to freak out when brothers and sisters come in here. But none of them ever wanted the foxes. You are the first," The woman said. She turned to get two cages when I frowned.
"They don't like cages. Please, we will take them like this. Thank you for everything," I said. Yara and I put our money down and then walked away. We went to find Hiei only to find him at the door.
"Lets go get something to eat," He said. I smiled and we left the pet store. "Nice foxes, foxes."
"What?" Yara said. I smiled.
"You are foxes and you bought fixes so I said nice foxes, foxes," Hiei said. Yara and I laughed and we soon found a restaurant. We went in and sat down.
"WHAT NO TOFU!" Yara cried as she looked at the menu. I smiled and looked at the menu. I finally found something. We ordered and soon had our food out in front of us and we ate. Yara and I feed our foxes every now and then. I looked up at one point to find Hiei bringing his fork up to his white scarf. (A/N: Don't know what to call it.) From inside the scarf came a black head that ate the food on the fork and then backed into the scarf. Hiei frowned and began to eat again.
"So Hiei. When were you going to tell us about your hand-eye-coordination problem?" I asked. Hiei turned and looked at me.
"What?" He asked. I smiled and imitated him. He frowned and turned back to his lunch.
"So what did you name it?" I asked. Hiei's frown deepened and he looked away.
"Yakima," Hiei finally said.
"Nice name for what?" Yara asked. Hiei reached into his scarf and took out a small furry black thing. He put it on the table and I recognized it as a kitten.
"Oh, a kitten. I thought you hated them," I said remembering how Eiiakachi attacked Hiei at Kuwabara's house. (A/N: I killed that name. Please help me and tell me the spelling!) Hiei shrugged.
"She wouldn't let me go. I was forced to buy her," Hiei said simply. I smiled.
"How do you know it is a she?" I asked. Hiei blushed and turned a deep shade of red. Yara laughed.
"The woman at the counter told me," Hiei answered. I laughed. "So what are their names?"
"Huh? Oh, I haven't thought of one yet," I said and looked over to my fox.
"I am thinking of Kiki," Yara said. I smiled and looked to Hiei. Hiei shook his head.
"How about Koko?" I asked. I heard the fox growl and I laughed. "Don't like that?" I asked it. It shook its head no and looked up in thought.
"How about Kourone?" Yara asked. I looked over to her and she had a caring look in her eyes. I shook my head no.
"How about Fox?" Hiei asked. I laughed along with Yara.
"No way!" I said. Then it hit me. "Kuraro."
Everyone looked at me. Yara's look filled with fascination, Hiei had confusion filling his and the two foxes were with amazement. Kuraro cuddled up to me and I knew he liked it.
"So we have Yakima, Kiki and Kuraro?" Yara asked. I shook my head yes and we all smiled. "So, Hiei, Yakima, Kurama, Kuraro, Yara and Kiki. Is that everyone?"
"Yes," Hiei said with a small smirk on his face. "Are we done eating?"
In reply we each got up. I put the money down for our food and we left. We meet the Weaslys at the meeting point at the right time. Then our huge group entered the Leaky Cauldron. Once in there, Hiei, Yara and I headed up to our rooms. But Mr. Weasly stopped us for a second.
"Come back down with all your stuff. You are going to stay with us for until the train leaves for Hogwarts. Please be as fast as you can," He told us. We agreed and lucky for us, none of us unpacked. We added our things to the stuff we brought and went down stairs.
"Good, lets go!" Mrs. Weasly said. With that we all headed out. We left the Leaky Cauldron and headed toward a new street. We walked down it and headed to area with two houses. I looked at the numbers. One said eleven and the other said thirteen.
"Hn, stupid hiding place for a house," Hiei growled. I noticed what he meant when I cast out my senses and found magic laying all over the area between the two houses. I smiled and watched as Mr. Weasly walked forward and said something to the area. To our amazement a house appeared in the middle of the two. I frowned and we walked in. "Stupid parlor trick." I heard Hiei mumble.
Once inside I noticed Harry was frowning. I watched as he headed up the stairs and into one of the rooms. I frowned and looked around. There were heads and all sorts of junk lying all around.
"Ignore the mess. We are still trying to fix the place up. This place is old. There are strange things around every corner. For example: those curtains up there, They hide a picture of a woman and if you talk to loud you will wake her up and she screams. She is a nasty one. No one likes her all to much," Ron said.
"What is wrong with Harry?" I asked. Ron frowned.
"This is his godfather's house Last year there was a battle and he died. Harry watched it happen even. It hurts Harry a lot to be here. But we must keep him here to protect him," Ron answered.
"Oh, poor Harry. I feel so bad," I said looking up to the area Harry disappeared behind.
"Yeah. Poor Harry. Well, Hiei and you are staying with Harry and me. Yara is staying with Ginny and Hermione. I'll show you two to our room," Ron said. With that Ron ran up the stairs with Hiei and myself behind him. We pasted about five or six doors before stopping. Ron knocked on the door. It opened to show Harry standing there. I smiled and walked in behind Ron and Hiei. Inside there were four beds. Ron and Harry claimed two. I climbed into the one closest to the door and Hiei grabbed the windowsill.
"Don't you want a bed?" Harry asked. Hiei shook his head no and looked out the window.
"So, we have time before supper, who wants to play the learning game?" Ron asked. Hiei and I looked over to them in confusion. "It is where you find out as much as you can about your roommates before anyone else. We tally how many question are answered and whoever has the most wins. We stop when my mom calls supper."
"Ok!" We all said. Soon we found ourselves sitting in a circle. Ron was to go first.
"Right, Hiei. How old are you?" Ron asked. I almost laughed. H never answered that without a question.
"Why do you want to know?" He growled. Ron shook his yes.
"No, your suppose to answer!" He exclaimed. I laughed.
"He never answers that. Even I don't know," I said. Ron said oh and the game continued with Harry next.
"Kurama, why are you here?" Harry asked.
"I am here because I was invited to Hogwarts," I answered. Now it was my turn.
"Harry, what would you say if I could possibly let you talk to your godfather again?" I asked. Harry looked up in shock.
"YOU CAN'T! He is dead!" Harry cried.
"PAUSE!" Ron shouted and looked at me with a cold stare. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?"
"Exactly what I said. I could possibly let Harry talk to his godfather one last time," I said. I then felt Hiei's eyes lock onto me. I ignored it.
"You can't. Sirius is dead. I will never see him again," Harry said.
"Well, I have meet some very powerful creatures who have brought me to the Spirit World to see the dead," I said. The second that sentence escaped my mouth I knew Koenma would kill me. But I didn't care. This boy needed to see his godfather.
"You could go to jail for this," Hiei growled in my ear. I shook my head yes.
"Would you really do that for me?" Harry asked.
"I'll try. But I can't promise anything," I said.
"Ok, enough of this. Lets continue with the game," Ron said. I put a tally on my paper. "Hiei you turn."
"Ron, why did you want to play this game?" Hiei asked.
"Cause I wanted to know more about you and Kurama," Ron answered. Hiei put a mark on his paper. "My turn. Kurama, why did you ask about Harry earlier?"
"Because, I was worried about him for a second. I have seen people so upset over something that they went and killed themselves," I answered truthfully. I watched as Ron wrote on his paper.
"Kurama, why did your mom call you that?" Harry asked. I laughed.
"It's actually not my real name. My mom called me Shuuichi. But I liked Kurama better," I answered. Harry put a mark on his paper. "Ron, do you believe that I can get Harry to see his godfather again?"
"No, I don't. And please don't revert back to that subject," Ron answered. I put a tally down.
"Harry, what happened to your parents?" Hiei asked. I cringed and turned to glare at Hiei. It was a rude question.
"My parents were killed by a very powerful wizard named Voldemort. I was the only one to survive. Voldemort had attacked me also but something happened and he was drained of all energy. I then became the most famous among wizards," Harry said. I had seen Ron winched EVERY TIME Harry said Voldemort and I wondered why. Hiei and I looked to each other. We had no idea Harry was the most famous wizard. Hiei slowly put a tally down and Ron's turn came up.
"So, Kurama. Are you full wizard, half, or have muggle parents?" Ron asked. I frowned. I had no idea how to answer. "Muggles are non magical people."
"Uh, I am not a wizard at all," I admitted. Hiei turned to glare at me. "I am a fox demon. My parents don't know that I am going to Hogwarts. They think I am going to a collage in London."
Ron looked at me in horror. Harry was doing the same. Hiei was just glaring at me. Kuraro had walked over to me in the mean time and lie on my lap. Yakima's head pocked out from under Hiei's scarf and also looked at me.
"ARE YOU KIDIDING?" Ron shouted. I shook my head no.
"I transform into my demon forms on sickle on full moons," I told him.
"Can you do it now?" Harry asked. I shook my head yes.
"Want me to?" I asked. All of them said no. And the game continued with Ron adding a small tally.
"So, Hiei. Same question.
"I am also a demon. I am a half fire half ice demon," Hiei responded. No one said anything for a minute. Then Harry put a tally on his paper.
"So, Harry. How did you become friends with Ron, Hermione and Yara?" I asked him.
"Ron and I meet on the train and talked for the entire train ride. Hermione just added to the picture cause she was a little nosy and soon we became friends. Yara joined our group in the second year when she helped Rona and I out a few times." Harry said. I knew he was hiding something. But I was going to wait. I added a tally and waited for my next turn.
"Harry, what did you do in your first year? And tell me everything," Hiei said.
"Well, I went to class, ate and slept all year. Found out a little more about me. That was it," Harry said. But I could sense he was hiding something.
"And," Hiei said. Harry gulped.
"I made sure Voldemort didn't get the Sorcerers Stone," Harry answered. Again Ron winced.
"Ok, my turn. Kurama, how old are you?" Ron asked. I smiled.
"Sorry but I never say my age," I answered. Ron frowned and turned to Harry.
"Hiei, what is under your scarf?" Harry asked.
"A kitten," Hiei responded.
"Ron, why do you wince at the name Voldemort?" I asked.
"You-Know-Who is the most feared wizard of all. Harry says his name and I don't cause I am afraid of him. If you know anything you would also say You-Know-Who or He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named," Ron answered with a shudder.
"The fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself!" Harry cried. Ron ignored him and Hiei began his turn.
"So, Harry, do you have any relatives?" Hiei asked.
"Yes. I have an aunt, uncle and cousin. They are really mean though," Harry responded.
"Hiei do you have relatives?" Ron asked.
"Yes, a twin sister. Her name is Yukina," Hiei said.
"Kurama, do you have relatives?" Harry asked.
"Human, I have my mom and brother. Demon I have Yara," I said.
"BOYS SUPPER!!!!" We heard. It was Mrs. Weasly. We looked down and tallied out questions/answers. Ron lost by two while Harry, Hiei and I tied. Before we went down stairs Hiei and I stopped Ron and Harry.
"Don't tell anyone what you found out in this game. It is important," I said. The two agreed and we walked down stairs for supper. Once there, I sat on the end with Yara next to. Hiei was on the other side of her. Across from me was Harry then Ron and Hermione. Next to Hiei were Fred and George then Mr. and Mrs. Weasly. Across from them were Ginny, and a few men. I didn't learn their names. Supper was great! It was the best thing I ever had in a long time.
"That was great Mrs. Weasly!" I said once done.
"Why thank you Kurama. Now sorry but all kids must go up to bed," Mrs. Weasly answered. I frowned but all the kids left. Once out of the room I watched as Fred, George, Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione took something out.
"Extendable ears!" Fred said quietly. I smiled thinking of what else these kids had. George offered us each an ear and we accepted. Harry taught us how to use it and soon all of us were listening in on the adults' conversation.
"What is going on out there Dumbledore?" we heard someone ask.
"Not much I'm afraid. There are no clues to Voldemort's where a bouts. No Death Eaters have been seen for sometime now. I am sorry," I heard a male voice say.
"It is ok. So there have been no signs, but that does not make it ok for us to relax and think You-Know-Who won't attack again. We must be careful, understand?" I heard. I sighed this is boring. I thought. We listened in for a few more minutes before we all headed off to bed. Instead of going to bed I decided to talk to Koenma about Harry's godfather. I waited an hour to make sure everyone was asleep. Once certain I got out of bed and called Botan.
"Yes, Kurama?" Botan asked.
"I need to see Koenma! Can you bring me to the Spirit World?" I asked her. She shook her head yes. I watched as she produced her oar and made room for me to sit. I took the seat and she took off. I hung on for dear life and I mean that. Botan was crazy! She dived turned and dipped so suddenly that I could have been thrown off in a second if not for holding onto Botan. Finally we made it. Botan brought me to Koenma's office and then left. I opened the doors and entered.
"Yes, Kurama? What is bothering you?" Koenma asked upon me entering the room.
"I was wondering if I could let Harry talk to his godfather one last time," I replied. Koenma opened a folder.
"Sirius Black is still alive. He is just so far away that no witch or wizard can find him," Koenma said as he slammed the folder close.
"Does that mean he is in the Demon World?" I asked. Koenma shook his head yes. "Sir, may I go get him?"
"No, I will send Yusuke and Kuwabara to get Sirius. You just keep Harry entertained for now," Koenma answered as he called Botan in. Botan entered. "Botan, please go get Yusuke and Kuwabara. I have a mission for them."
"Yes, Koenma sir," Botan answered. With that she turned and left.
"May I stay and help explain why this is important?" I asked. Koenma looked over to me.
"No need. I was going to tell them to get him anyway. This just gives me reason to go get him faster. Don't worry Kurama. Sirius will come to the house. Yusuke and Kuwabara will help him," Koenma said. I frowned.
"You mean that Yusuke and Kuwabara are going to be part of the mission now?" I asked calmly.
"No, they will drop Sirius off in the middle of the night and then leave. In the morning everyone will wake up, go downstairs and see Sirius," Koenma responded. I smiled.
"That is a nice way to return home," I said. Koenma laughed.
"You better go. Have fun," Koenma called as I left his office. I walked around the Spirit World while waiting for Botan. As I walked around I saw a familiar sight. It was Kourone, my long lost partner.
"Kourone?" I called. He turned.
"Kurama?" He answered. I shook my head yes. He smiled and ran up to embrace me. But he stopped just before reaching me. "How did you die?" He asked.
"I didn't. I am working for the Spirit World. My mission right now forced me to come and ask Koenma's permission to do something. And now I am wait for a ferry girl to return and bring me back to the Human world," I responded. He laughed.
"The famous youkai thief is working for the Spirit world and is mingling with humans. Wow, have you changed!" Kourone said. I laughed and he joined me. It sounded like old times. I loved it.
"Well, I am half human Kourone. After you died, I became recless. It cost me. I was shot and with my last bit of energy I went to the human world and went into an unborn human child. I had planed to rest for eleven years and then leave. I was a jerk when I was younger, a real brat. But then the human mother protected me even though she got hurt. It changed my outlook on life. I have stayed in this body ever since. But someone found out that Youko Kurama still lived and went in search. He found me, but at the wrong time. My human mother was sick and in need of help. This demon wanted my help to steal the ancient artifacts. One was a mirror that gave wishes out to people on full moons. I was going to get that. I did but what happened was that a Spirit detective caught me. The price for asking a wish on this mirror was a life. But this Spirit Detective felt bad for me and dealt with the pain also. Either the mirror could not choose who would die or he took half of each of us, I will never know. But thanks to this detective I was still alive. But the detective still had to get the last member of our group of three. I decided to help. And the next thing I knew, the man and I were given a choice. Help this Spirit detective or go to Spirit World jail for life. We decided to help the detective. Soon one mission was to go to the Dark Tournament. We went and while there one enemy had an item called the Idon box. (A/N: I can't spell!) Its power was to change any one who inhaled the gas from it into a child. But, this man didn't know his opponent was actually two people. Youko Kurama and Shuuichi Minamino. So the box changed me back to Youko form. The man died, but not from my hands. Later as I was thinking the team leader came up to me and gave me the liquid form of the gas. I took it ad used it in the final match. And ever since I could change back and forth. (A/N: I might have messed that up for I haven't been able to see the rest of the Dark Tournament series. All I know is that Kurama has to fight Karasu. Please tell me if I am wrong!)" I told Kourone. He laughed.
"Kurama! Nice story. Oh, your ride is here!" He called. I turned and saw Botan leading Yusuke and Kuwabara away.
"That is the Spirit Detective," I said. Kourone looked over to me.
"You mean Yusuke Urameshi?" Kourone asked. I shook my head yes. "Oh, sorry. I thought you made that story up!"
"No, that is what really happened! Why didn't you believe me?" I asked. Kourone shrugged his shoulders.
"It's just that Yusuke is suppose to be a powerful human. And there are no other human spirit detectives and the fact that you meet him was hard for me to believe. And then, you helping is even harder. Sorry friend," Kourone said. I frowned. I watched as Yusuke turned and saw me.
"Hey, Kurama. Having fun?" Yusuke called. I heard Kourone's mouth drop behind me and I laughed slightly.
"Yes, Yusuke. They are ok," I answered. He walked away from Botan and came up to Kourone and myself.
"Who is this?" Yusuke asked. Kourone was unable to answer.
"This is Kourone," I told Yusuke.
"You mean your old partner?" Yusuke asked, as he looked Kourone over. I laughed.
"Have you heard of other Kourones?" I asked. He laughed and said no.
"He knows about me?" Kourone finally asked.
"Yes, Kurama won't really ever shut up about you. Sometimes on missions that take place in the Demon world Kurama would sneak off to the area you died and just sit and think," Yusuke replied.
"You have been spying on my?" I growled playfully. Yusuke laughed.
"No Hiei has. He just told Kuwabara and myself!" Yusuke said.
"You best go see Koenma," I said finally. Yusuke agreed and left. I said goodbye to Kourone and then left myself. Once back in the Human world and the house I was staying in I slowly got up the stairs and into bed. I was tired. I needed rest bad. After what seemed like hours, I finally feel asleep. But it felt like a minute later that someone was trying to wake me up. I felt myself rock back and forth. I heard someone shout my name. I didn't want to get up. There was whispering then…
"Yara's dead," I heard whispered in my ear. I shot straight up and turned. Hiei was leaning close to my bed and was smiling.
"YOU JERK!" I screamed and lunged for him. Hiei backed away in time and I missed. I rolled out of the bed and landed on the floor looking up at Hiei. "Never say that to me again," I growled.
"It's the only way to get you up," Hiei responded. With that I looked around and saw Ron watching us.
"Man, you are hard to wake Kurama. Maybe I should have asked each of you how to wake you up without dying!" Ron said with a laugh. I growled lightly and got up to brush myself off. That was when Harry ran into the room and wrapped his arms around my waist knocking me over with his body weight.
"THANK YOU KURAMA!!!" Harry cried. He let go and ran back out of the room. The three of us waited a moment listening to Harry rush down the stairs tripping at least three or four times.
"What did you do now fox?" Hiei asked looking at me. I got back up and smiled.
"I went and saw Koenma last night," I said. Hiei and Ron gave me each a strange glance. "Harry got his permission but it was longer than one last talk."
"WHAT?" Ron called as he ran out of the room and downstairs.
"What happened?" Hiei growled.
"I went and asked Koenma if Harry could talk to his godfather one last time. But Koenma said that he didn't die. Only went to the Demon world. Yusuke and Kuwabara had to get him and bring him here. I guess they found him pretty fast," I said. I heard Hiei sigh. "Lets go down and say hi."
"Fine," Hiei growled. And with that we went down stairs.
