Chapter Three-The Train
Hiei's POV
Kurama and I went downstairs to find Harry was hanging all over a man that looked similar to him. Kurama was smiling. But his eyes showed something that I haven't seen in a long time. 'What was it? Jealousy? What?'
"Something you aren't telling me Kurama?" I asked quietly. Kurama looked down to me.
"I saw Kourone," Kurama answered.
"Oh," I said. Yara then walked up to us.
"Nice job," Yara said. Kurama smiled. I turned from their talk and watched Harry hug his godfather over and over. I scowled and thought how could that man take it. Suddenly he walked up to me.
"This is for you," he said as he handed me something. I noticed it was a letter. I frowned and looked up to him.
"Thanks," I said simply. I turned and walked back up stairs to my room. Kurama followed but I ignored him. I sat down and read the outside.
Hiei Wherever. London, England.
I frowned as I noticed it was Yukina's handwriting. 'Why would she want to send a letter to me?' I opened it and began to read again.
Dear Hiei,
I have finally learned who my brother is! I wanted you to be the first to know. I won't tell you though. I want to tell you when you get back. I can't wait till then. Please get this mission over with right! I am so going to miss you!
Yukina ^_____^
I frowned and looked up. Kurama was staring at me. I growled. Then Yakima walked up and sat on my lap. I smiled slightly. I watched as Kuraro walked over and sat down at Kurama's feet. Then Kiki entered the room followed by Yara. She came and sat down on the bed beside Kurama.
"What is up?" she asked.
"Yukina found out who her brother is," I replied. Yara smiled.
"Finally, the girl gets it!" she cried out. I frowned.
"Well, what else?" Kurama asked.
"Nothing," I said. I got up and walked downstairs. The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. Everyone cleaned different rooms. We all ate, and then we cleaned. We ate some more then went to bed. The next morning, I woke up early and went onto the roof. I sat there for about three minutes when Yara came up and joined me. It was still dark and the stars shined bright.
"Something wrong?" Yara asked. I looked over to her slowly.
"No, just couldn't sleep," I answered. "How about you?"
"I have been having this weird nightmare."
"What happens in it?"
"Well, it starts out that we go to Hogwarts then murders are committed all around the school. Dumbledore blames you, Kurama and myself. We are sent to death and Harry is the one killing us. But then he turns into this creature. I know I have seen it before but I just can't place who it is. They kill you then Kurama. And when it is my turn the creature turns into my.. My mom. Then all goes black and a voice calls out. He says 'Remember, remember who you were. Who you are and why you live. Remember.' Then I wake up."
"Oh. Is that all?"
"Yeah, just about. Wow, is it beautiful out?"
I look to the sky. The lights are shining and making it light out. I turn to Yara and see her face reflect the light of the stars. I smiled and leaned closer to her. She looks over and we move closer and closer till.
"What are you two doing?" cried a voice behind us. Yara and I back away from each other. I look back and see Ginny Weasly crawling over to us. I frown deeply.
"Nothing Ginny. What are you doing?" I asked.
"I couldn't sleep. I had a bad dream. Plus daddy and mommy aren't in bed," Ginny said. I looked to Yara for a second and she looked at me.
"What do you mean?" Yara asked.
"I mean that none of the adults were in bed. I checked every room," Ginny responded with tears forming in her eyes.
"Don't worry Ginny. They probably just decided to have a meeting," I said. Yara frowned and walked over to Ginny.
"Here, we'll help you find them," Yara said. With that she turned to me with an evil glare. I winched and shook my head yes as Ginny looked up into my face.
"Ok, lets go then," Ginny, said. The two walked over to the window we came through and left me sitting on the roof. I waited a few more seconds before taking my bandana off and searching the house. I searched for about a minute when I found a door covered with concealment magic. I smiled as I thought of how many they had on it. I looked around the door and studied the surroundings so I could find it with out the use of my jagan. I began to walk to the window when I heard something. I turned around but saw nothing. I frowned and turned to enter the house when I heard another noise. This time I spun around fast and ran to the edge of the house only to look over the edge. On the lawn, was a shadow? I tried to get a better view of it when the thing looked up and ran away. I moaned and walked into the house. I easily found Yara and Ginny. I showed them to the room where Ginny knocked on the door/wall. Once touched the door was reviled and someone opened it. Three hands reached out from inside the room and pulled us in with them. Inside I saw that Sirius was holding me, Mrs. Weasly was holding Ginny, and Kurama was holding Yara. I frowned and glared at Kurama.
"Quite! Don't say a word. Someone else is here," I heard a man whisper. I turned a saw Remus Lupin with a finger to his lips. I frowned as my thoughts lead me back to the shadow on the lawn. 'Who was that?' I thought.
"Who is here?" Harry whispered, suddenly making him self-known.
"We think that it is You-Know-Who," Sirius whispered as he let me go.
"How tall is this Voldemort character?" I asked. Everyone turned to me. I frowned as I remembered no one likes the name Voldemort.
"About this tall," Harry said as he raised his hand up to a certain height. My frowned deepened.
"This guy is not him. It is someone else," I said.
"No, we are sure it is him!" Mrs. Weasly said with a hint of panic in her voice.
"I saw this creature and it is to tall to be this guy," I explained to them. They all frowned when my Jagan went ballistic. I held up my hand to hold off all talk for until it stopped. I turned and watched the door along with Kurama and Yara. We edged a little closer to the door and got into a fighting stance. I sensed the wizards and witches taking out their wands and holding them at the ready. We waited and waited. Seconds past and in each my Jagan was getting worse. I growled as I thought of who this person could be. We waited some more and then heard steps outside the door. They stopped in front of the door.
"I think they are here," I heard a familiar voice say. I frowned and got slowly out of my stance. Kurama and Yara joined me as the recognized the voice also.
"Are you sure, last time we got attacked by a bird thing," called a second voice.
"I am certain," said the first.
"I am not sure if I can trust you is all," called the second.
"Oh, shut up and blast this door down." I smiled as I thought of opening the door and having someone fall in when they try to ram their shoulder on it. I heard footsteps move away from the door.
"I am sorry, but I really don't trust you. Lets go search some more," said the second voice.
"I AM TELLING YOU..." began the first.
"Shut up! Do you want to get us killed?" growled the second voice. Then the two footsteps disappeared from the door. I smiled when I thought of where the two could be heading to next. I didn't dare search with my Jagan, but that was when I noticed. My Jagan still hurt and was getting worse. I turned to Kurama and Yara. We knew what we had to do. Someone had to get the other two. But it was too late. The presence was at the door.
"Come out pet," we heard. I recognized the voice and so did Kurama as I heard him gasp with fear. "I know you are in here my pet! Please come out!"
That was when a second presence made him self-known. His loud footsteps rang through the door into the room. I heard Harry gasp in pain and I turned to see him rubbing his scar.
"Come out or we will destroy this place!" I heard someone whisper. I rolled my eyes and watched the door carefully. 'I could try and send a thought to Yusuke and Kuwabara! But how can they help?' I thought frantically, knowing that sooner or later that door was going to have to open.
"Oh, my little pet, you remember what happened that day! The sliver hair, the tree, and me in its teeth. Oh, I remember it all! The three thousand minutes worth of death! You killed me my pet! But I have been reborn! And now I am after you!" called the voice. 'Karasu, how can he be alive?' I thought as I turned to see Kurama's face had paled to about three or four shades lighter than natural. He was white.
"Kurama," I said. His face slowly turned to look at me. Fear was everywhere. In his green eyes, paled face, tense muscles. There was no area with out fear written on it.
"Come out pet. Or do you want me to call you by name?" called the venomous voice of Karasu. I frowned and looked harder at Kurama. That was when Yara stepped forward. Everyone watched as her lips moved but no sound came out. But outside the door was a different matter.
"Come and get me Karasu!" the voice was exactly like Kurama's. I smiled and bowed in thanks to her. She smiled and threw her voice again to Karasu. "Come on, we can finish the match and this time no Death Tree allowed. How about it?"
With that one pair of footsteps walked away from the door. I smiled and hoped that Karasu was gone. But now we have to deal with the other. But it took me a minute to realize, Karasu stayed and his partner left.
"Oh, no more tricks my little foxes! Brother and sister together! How sweet, please come out and play!" Karasu called. I watched as all color fell from Yara's face as well. "And the fire brethren! How could I have forgotten you?"
I turned to the door and lightly growled. I stopped but the growling continued. I turned and saw Kiki and Kuraro. I smiled and looked up to Kurama and Yara. The color slowly leaked back into their faces as they saw my plan. Send Kiki and Kuraro out instead of them. Yara and Kurama walked over to the foxes and whispered something to them. The foxes seemed to agree for Kurama indicated for me to get the door. As I did I watched as all but Yara and Kurama moved out of the door's range. I opened the door and waited for the foxes to bolt out the door. They did and I slowly peaked out to see Karasu walking behind them. I smiled and turned back to the room, slowly pushing the door close. But before it could close all the way a hand shot into the slight and I recognized it as Karasu's. My eyes opened in shock as I pushed the door hard on his hand. Everyone heard his cry out in immense pain then watch as his hand slipped back out. But I knew Karasu better than that. I back away from the door just in time to miss the explosion. That was when everything seemed to stop. The shards flew into the room and landed on the ground with load plunks. Harry and the others gasped in fear as the door moved millimeter by millimeter open.
"I'm back," called Karasu once the door was fully opened. He was standing there in his normal black outfit and sliver mask. I cringed as his long slender fingers slowly moved through the air. He took a step forward and his cloak swung behind him. His long black hair laid in clumps framing his face. Behind him came a figure similar to him just wearing a robe and not a cloak. He was sending off very bad vibes.
"Voldemort," Harry growled. The man looked to Harry and cringed slightly.
"Your lucky I'm not here for you yet, boy!" Voldemort said. He turned to Yara, Kurama and myself.
"Told you I was right Urameshi! This was the room!" I heard some one call. It was Kuwabara.
"Wow, you were right! Man I should have listen to you," Yusuke said as he stepped into the room behind Voldemort with the oaf behind him. I growled as the two entered the room. "So glad we didn't miss the party!"
"Not yet, Yusuke. But almost, I was just going to get started!" Karasu called as he ran straight for the two. They dodged and watched as Karasu rammed himself into the wall. I smirked at him and watched Voldemort. He shouted something and aimed his wand at Kuwabara. I heard someone else yell a spell and then two different lights headed for Kuwabara. He had no idea what to do. Lucky for him the second spell fired was to defend him; it shot Voldemort's off course and into another wall. I turned and dived out the door near Karasu with Kurama and Yara behind me. Karasu growled and followed us with Yusuke and Kuwabara close on his tail. Voldemort was behind them and the others tried to follow behind him but they all lost us. Yusuke then seemed to remember the others and turned Kuwabara around. The two ran down to the witches and wizards to help while Kurama, Yara and myself got Karasu. While running, Yara and Kurama changed and soon we ended up on the roof. Once there, Youko and Youka turned to fight while I backed away. This was their fight, not mine.
Karasu entered the roof using the same window and was attacked by the two youkai. I smiled as Karasu went flying back and landed with a thud on the other side of the roof. Karasu got up and ran at the two with open palms. His nails skimmed Youka's arm and I watched as it blew up sending blood and skin everywhere. Now it was my fight also, no one attacks Yara without getting payback from me. I charged Karasu taking out my katana in the run and swung for Karasu but he was gone. I turned around and around looking for him; Youko and Youka were joining me. He was gone; we went inside to find Voldemort did the same to the others. I frowned, as I thought of the two of them in the same league together.
"Who was that other man?" Mrs. Weasly asked. I frowned.
"I want to wait to tell you that. Please, I can't," Kurama, said as him and Yara headed up to their rooms. I bid Yusuke and Kuwabara good-bye before heading up to bed myself. For the rest of the day everyone sat around talking or was cleaning one of the many rooms in the house. Finally that night Kurama and Yara were ready.
"Sorry, that was our evil cousin. He has always hated us and wanted us dead. During a certain night we were out and he attacked us. Lucky for us a man with silver hair came and saved us by using some type of plant that ate its victims. Karasu blamed Kurama and myself for his death and now he is out to kill us," Yara said as everyone looked back and forth from the three of us.
"Then what about Kurama saying, lets finish this fight?" Ginny asked.
"Oh, that was because Karasu wants..." Yara began.
"Hiei, wake up! Yara is going to be killed if you don't!" I heard someone whisper. I shot up and looked around. I was in my room that I shared with Ron, Harry, and Kurama. I turned all the way around and spied Kurama getting up. I growled and turned back forward.
"Sorry Hiei. But you were keeping everyone up when you moaned and tossed around. We need some sleep here also," Kurama explained. I was confused.
"You mean Karasu is still dead?" I asked. Kurama winched but shook his head yes. I smiled and looked up to the ceiling.
"What is wrong?" Kurama asked me.
"Bad dream is all," I mumbled. I turned and lay back down on the bed.
"Boys, time to get up! We have to get ready to go," We heard. I frowned and turned on my side to look at Kurama. Kurama simply smiled and turned to get his things. I looked around and saw that it was only Kurama and myself in the room. I smiled and took my bandana off. Kurama turned and watched as I put my things in my suitcase with my Jagan. He laughed and Yara entered the room.
"HIEI! Stop that!" Yara called and grabbed on of m shirts and threw it down on the ground. "What if one of them entered the room and saw that? OR your Jagan?"
"I would erase their memory of it and replace it with something else," I answered simply. Yara and Kurama both frowned at this. I smiled and got up. I walked over to the two of them and hugged them then returned to packing. I heard the two then turn and also pack. I smiled and thought about my nightmare. 'I don't have nightmares though.' I thought. 'So then why did I have one? Or is it a vision of the future?'
"Come on Hiei! We're all done. We have to get these downstairs and then in the car," Kurama called as he and Yara left the room. I finished my packing in seconds then went downstairs to only get stopped by Sirius.
"Be careful around Harry. He seems to like to get himself into trouble. Be extremely careful," Sirius said. Then Remus walked over.
"We will be at the school also so if you need help or think Harry is going to get in trouble please come to us. It is important," he said. I just stared t the two of them. Then Yara came to help me.
"Thanks but we can take care of our self," Yara said. I still stared and watched as they talked.
"I know but still. Be careful, there is suppose to be some demons at the school. We don't really trust them but Dumbledore does. Watch out for them," Sirius said. Yara smiled and looked over to me and I smirked back to her. Sirius and Remus looked at us strange.
"Don't worry about the demons. We can handle them," I said and with that walked away trying hard not to laugh at them.
"That was funny. Do you think they know we are the demons?" Yara asked after she caught up to me.
"I doubt it Yara. But it will be even funnier when we do tell them the truth," I answered. She laughed at the thought and I joined her. That was when Kurama walked up to us.
"What are you laughing about?" Kurama asked us. We began to laugh harder then stop.
"Sirius and Remus. They don't know yet and it is funny," Yara said. Kurama still looked confused so I told him exactly what happened and he laughed with Yara and myself. After about an hour we were all ready to go. Ron, Kurama, Yara, Harry, Hermione and myself scrunched up in the back seat and surprisingly fit. While Remus, Sirius, Mr. Weasly, and Ginny sat in another car. Mrs. Weasly drove ours with a mystery character sat next to her. The two never talked and I couldn't get a good view of the man. Finally after about an hour or so the two cars stopped at a train station. Mrs. Weasly handed us tickets for the train and I read the platform name. It was Nine and Three Quarters. I frowned and looked up to Yara.
"It is between platforms nine and ten. Just wait and see. Spells litter this entire station and you'll be able to find it easily. Trust me," Yara said as she joined the Weaslys in unloading the cars. I frowned and looked for the mystery character. I found him in a matter of seconds. He was talking to Sirius and Remus but had a perfect view of Kurama. Then I knew. I walked up to him and stood there for a second.
"Kourone?" I asked. He looked down to me and smiled.
"Hiei, right?" he asked. I shook my head yes. His smile brightened. "The Forbidden Child?"
"Yes, and how did you know?" I growled. I hated when people or demons knew about me before I even meat them. He smiled and turned to Kurama. "Oh, him."
"Yes, Kurama and a mix of Yusuke. The two seem to think you are a real jerk but can be a softy at times," Kourone said. I frowned and looked over to Kurama who was standing with Yara. The two were talking to the twins and seemed to like something. "You care for her don't you?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about," I growled and looked over to Sirius and Remus. Kourone got the hint and stopped.
"So, how do you know each other?" Remus asked. I frowned and looked over to Kurama and Yara. Remus followed my gaze and laughed.
"How did they know him?" Sirius asked as he pointed to Kourone who had left us and went to Kurama and Yara. The three shared a big hug and then talked.
"They were partners for a long time," I said.
"Oh, in what?" Remus asked. I frowned and looked over to him.
"Thievery," I simply stated. The two eyes open wide and looked over to the three.
"Is that true?" Remus asked. I smiled and shook my head yes. That was when something came to Sirius.
"You guys are the demons!" he cried. I smiled and turned over to Kurama, Yara and Kourone. I turned back to Remus and Sirius to see they had taken a step away from me.
"Like I would waist my time killing you," I said playfully and walked over to the other demons. Once there Kuraro and Kiki walked up and jumped onto their master's shoulders. Kourone smiled and petted the two. Finally after waiting we went into the station, Kurama, Kourone and I had our mouths drop at how many spells the station was littered with.
"Told you," Yara said as she closed her eyes and followed after the others. I frowned and followed but not before I heard Kourone mumble 'Scaredy wizards' or something. I smiled and choked back a laugh. AS we walked through the station I watched as the spells increased. At about platforms nine and ten I wanted to be blind. The light shining off the spells was too much. I saw the door and rushed through before anyone could say anything. Kourone followed me and then Kurama. The three of us took seconds to get through and then Yara came. She was laughing hard at the three of us.
"What?" I growled.
"They way the three of you ran through the door. It was funny," Yara said.
"Isn't that bright for you?" Kourone asked. Yara smiled.
"After going to the school for so long and finding other places with more spells has just made me get use to it. I'm sorry. I should have warned you about that," Yara said. That was when I noticed the rest were staring at us.
"What happened?" Mrs. Weasly asked.
"Uh, there are so many spells in that station that it was too bright for my eyes," I said. Kurama and Kourone agreed with me.
"You can see the spells?" Remus asked amazed. I frowned and shook my head yes.
"Can't you all?" Kourone asked as he stared at them. They all shook their heads no and the subject was dropped when the whistle blew.
"Go to the back, there should be compartments there. Come on, hurry! The train is going to leave soon," Mrs. Weasly called as she pulled Ginny to the back compartments of the train. Once there we entered. There were no open areas in it. We moved to the next one, same thing happened there also. We walked through about five or six compartments before finding two open areas. I took one with Yara, Kurama, Kourone, Harry, Ron and Hermione. We sat down and watched as the others passed to the next room. I watched as when Sirius passed that his face fell and then all color drained form his face. I guess it was because Harry was with a room full of demons and the fact that he can be with him in the same room. It took about five minutes in the room when I felt something stir in my scarf. I jumped slightly and reached in to take out Yakima. I smiled as she stretched out on my hand then jumped over to Hedwig and Pig. I laughed as she tried to swat at the owls and failed. That was when Kiki walked over and picked her up. Yara went to scold Kiki but suddenly stopped and everyone watched as Kiki began to give Yakima a tongue bath. Yara smiled and looked up to me. I was smiling and then turned to look out the window.
"So, have you been sorted?" Hermione asked. She surprised me and I turned to her.
"What do you mean?" Kurama asked.
"It means have you been sorted into one of the four houses. The answer would be no," Yara said. Then she turned to Kourone. "How did you come back?"
"Koenma decided you might need more help and gave me a body. So now I am here," Kourone answered.
"What are you going to do at Hogwarts?" Ron asked taking the words right out of my mouth. Kourone smiled.
"I am the new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher," he said proudly. I heard Ron moan.
"I am so sorry for you!" Ron said. Kourone looked at him confused. "No one stays in that place for more than a year. We get a new teacher every time. The only one I thought would stay didn't. And that was Lupin."
"Oh, no! Lupin and Black are teaching History! Binns left for this year. Said that demons were to dangerous to be trusted," Kourone said with a smiled. That was when all color faded from Harry and Ron. The two turned to Kurama and myself. Kurama laughed.
"Don't worry. We are supposed to be here to protect and not kill. But I would rather kill," I said venomously. Harry and Ron moved slightly away form me and I smiled. That was when a trolley pulled up. Harry bought tons of food and spread it out on around the room. I looked at a small blue package. Ron looked up at this point.
"It is safe, go ahead and try it!" Ron said. I didn't notice his evil smile as he turned to Harry so I opened the package. Inside was a blackish brown thing that jumped the second it was free. But before it could get to far away I snatched it out of thin air. Ron and Harry looked at me in shock.
"How did you do that?" Hermione asked. I looked over.
"A good catch," I muttered as I threw the creature in my mouth. Yara had grabbed a box that said Bearty Botts Every Flavor Jell Beans. She had reached in and took one out. It was a yellowish green color with light green spots on it. Ron and Harry began to snort a little and I wondered why. But before I could finish my thought Yara had run over to the window and spit the bean out.
"THAT WAS GROSS!" She shouted. AT this Ron and Harry went into loud fits of laughter.
"THAT WAS BUGGAR!" Ron said through his fits of laughter. I saw a brownish color bean with darker brown spots. I picked it up and watched as Harry and Ron's gases fixed onto me. I examined it and then looked up to Ron. I faked the throw in my mouth and began to moan as if the bean was good. Ron and Harry's mouth dropped. Lucky for me I spied a second bean like the one I held. I quickly grabbed it and shoved the beans into the two mouths. Then closed them. Rona and Harry began to chew and soon found out what I put in their mouths.
The two also ran for the window and spit the beans out. Yara, Kurama, Kourone, Hermione and myself laughed at the two as they turned and sat back down.
"Do you know what bean flavor that was?" Harry growled. I shock my head no. "It was vomit!"
I began to laugh harder and then heard Yara.
"You deserve it after what you did to me!" Yara cried as she laughed also. Through the rest of the train ride we told embarrassing and funny stories about ourselves and after about an hour Sirius walked in.
"We are almost at Hogwarts. I suggest you change into your robes," He told us. Everyone changed and in a matter of minutes we where at Hogwarts.
"Firs' Years!" I heard someone call. I then noticed it was Hagrid. He looked over to Kurama and myself. He waved his hand telling us to come over. We did and found we had to go with him. We needed to get sorted. I frowned but followed orders. Next thing I knew. I was sitting on a boat that lead me closer and closer to a huge castle.

Thank you all my reviewers! I really need the encouragement. Sorry it took so long but I have about three other stories and now school has stared up! I hate school. So updating will be slow. Thanks for your patients (right word?). Well thanks to you all! Got to go!
KoorimeHiei out.
Hiei's POV
Kurama and I went downstairs to find Harry was hanging all over a man that looked similar to him. Kurama was smiling. But his eyes showed something that I haven't seen in a long time. 'What was it? Jealousy? What?'
"Something you aren't telling me Kurama?" I asked quietly. Kurama looked down to me.
"I saw Kourone," Kurama answered.
"Oh," I said. Yara then walked up to us.
"Nice job," Yara said. Kurama smiled. I turned from their talk and watched Harry hug his godfather over and over. I scowled and thought how could that man take it. Suddenly he walked up to me.
"This is for you," he said as he handed me something. I noticed it was a letter. I frowned and looked up to him.
"Thanks," I said simply. I turned and walked back up stairs to my room. Kurama followed but I ignored him. I sat down and read the outside.
Hiei Wherever. London, England.
I frowned as I noticed it was Yukina's handwriting. 'Why would she want to send a letter to me?' I opened it and began to read again.
Dear Hiei,
I have finally learned who my brother is! I wanted you to be the first to know. I won't tell you though. I want to tell you when you get back. I can't wait till then. Please get this mission over with right! I am so going to miss you!
Yukina ^_____^
I frowned and looked up. Kurama was staring at me. I growled. Then Yakima walked up and sat on my lap. I smiled slightly. I watched as Kuraro walked over and sat down at Kurama's feet. Then Kiki entered the room followed by Yara. She came and sat down on the bed beside Kurama.
"What is up?" she asked.
"Yukina found out who her brother is," I replied. Yara smiled.
"Finally, the girl gets it!" she cried out. I frowned.
"Well, what else?" Kurama asked.
"Nothing," I said. I got up and walked downstairs. The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. Everyone cleaned different rooms. We all ate, and then we cleaned. We ate some more then went to bed. The next morning, I woke up early and went onto the roof. I sat there for about three minutes when Yara came up and joined me. It was still dark and the stars shined bright.
"Something wrong?" Yara asked. I looked over to her slowly.
"No, just couldn't sleep," I answered. "How about you?"
"I have been having this weird nightmare."
"What happens in it?"
"Well, it starts out that we go to Hogwarts then murders are committed all around the school. Dumbledore blames you, Kurama and myself. We are sent to death and Harry is the one killing us. But then he turns into this creature. I know I have seen it before but I just can't place who it is. They kill you then Kurama. And when it is my turn the creature turns into my.. My mom. Then all goes black and a voice calls out. He says 'Remember, remember who you were. Who you are and why you live. Remember.' Then I wake up."
"Oh. Is that all?"
"Yeah, just about. Wow, is it beautiful out?"
I look to the sky. The lights are shining and making it light out. I turn to Yara and see her face reflect the light of the stars. I smiled and leaned closer to her. She looks over and we move closer and closer till.
"What are you two doing?" cried a voice behind us. Yara and I back away from each other. I look back and see Ginny Weasly crawling over to us. I frown deeply.
"Nothing Ginny. What are you doing?" I asked.
"I couldn't sleep. I had a bad dream. Plus daddy and mommy aren't in bed," Ginny said. I looked to Yara for a second and she looked at me.
"What do you mean?" Yara asked.
"I mean that none of the adults were in bed. I checked every room," Ginny responded with tears forming in her eyes.
"Don't worry Ginny. They probably just decided to have a meeting," I said. Yara frowned and walked over to Ginny.
"Here, we'll help you find them," Yara said. With that she turned to me with an evil glare. I winched and shook my head yes as Ginny looked up into my face.
"Ok, lets go then," Ginny, said. The two walked over to the window we came through and left me sitting on the roof. I waited a few more seconds before taking my bandana off and searching the house. I searched for about a minute when I found a door covered with concealment magic. I smiled as I thought of how many they had on it. I looked around the door and studied the surroundings so I could find it with out the use of my jagan. I began to walk to the window when I heard something. I turned around but saw nothing. I frowned and turned to enter the house when I heard another noise. This time I spun around fast and ran to the edge of the house only to look over the edge. On the lawn, was a shadow? I tried to get a better view of it when the thing looked up and ran away. I moaned and walked into the house. I easily found Yara and Ginny. I showed them to the room where Ginny knocked on the door/wall. Once touched the door was reviled and someone opened it. Three hands reached out from inside the room and pulled us in with them. Inside I saw that Sirius was holding me, Mrs. Weasly was holding Ginny, and Kurama was holding Yara. I frowned and glared at Kurama.
"Quite! Don't say a word. Someone else is here," I heard a man whisper. I turned a saw Remus Lupin with a finger to his lips. I frowned as my thoughts lead me back to the shadow on the lawn. 'Who was that?' I thought.
"Who is here?" Harry whispered, suddenly making him self-known.
"We think that it is You-Know-Who," Sirius whispered as he let me go.
"How tall is this Voldemort character?" I asked. Everyone turned to me. I frowned as I remembered no one likes the name Voldemort.
"About this tall," Harry said as he raised his hand up to a certain height. My frowned deepened.
"This guy is not him. It is someone else," I said.
"No, we are sure it is him!" Mrs. Weasly said with a hint of panic in her voice.
"I saw this creature and it is to tall to be this guy," I explained to them. They all frowned when my Jagan went ballistic. I held up my hand to hold off all talk for until it stopped. I turned and watched the door along with Kurama and Yara. We edged a little closer to the door and got into a fighting stance. I sensed the wizards and witches taking out their wands and holding them at the ready. We waited and waited. Seconds past and in each my Jagan was getting worse. I growled as I thought of who this person could be. We waited some more and then heard steps outside the door. They stopped in front of the door.
"I think they are here," I heard a familiar voice say. I frowned and got slowly out of my stance. Kurama and Yara joined me as the recognized the voice also.
"Are you sure, last time we got attacked by a bird thing," called a second voice.
"I am certain," said the first.
"I am not sure if I can trust you is all," called the second.
"Oh, shut up and blast this door down." I smiled as I thought of opening the door and having someone fall in when they try to ram their shoulder on it. I heard footsteps move away from the door.
"I am sorry, but I really don't trust you. Lets go search some more," said the second voice.
"I AM TELLING YOU..." began the first.
"Shut up! Do you want to get us killed?" growled the second voice. Then the two footsteps disappeared from the door. I smiled when I thought of where the two could be heading to next. I didn't dare search with my Jagan, but that was when I noticed. My Jagan still hurt and was getting worse. I turned to Kurama and Yara. We knew what we had to do. Someone had to get the other two. But it was too late. The presence was at the door.
"Come out pet," we heard. I recognized the voice and so did Kurama as I heard him gasp with fear. "I know you are in here my pet! Please come out!"
That was when a second presence made him self-known. His loud footsteps rang through the door into the room. I heard Harry gasp in pain and I turned to see him rubbing his scar.
"Come out or we will destroy this place!" I heard someone whisper. I rolled my eyes and watched the door carefully. 'I could try and send a thought to Yusuke and Kuwabara! But how can they help?' I thought frantically, knowing that sooner or later that door was going to have to open.
"Oh, my little pet, you remember what happened that day! The sliver hair, the tree, and me in its teeth. Oh, I remember it all! The three thousand minutes worth of death! You killed me my pet! But I have been reborn! And now I am after you!" called the voice. 'Karasu, how can he be alive?' I thought as I turned to see Kurama's face had paled to about three or four shades lighter than natural. He was white.
"Kurama," I said. His face slowly turned to look at me. Fear was everywhere. In his green eyes, paled face, tense muscles. There was no area with out fear written on it.
"Come out pet. Or do you want me to call you by name?" called the venomous voice of Karasu. I frowned and looked harder at Kurama. That was when Yara stepped forward. Everyone watched as her lips moved but no sound came out. But outside the door was a different matter.
"Come and get me Karasu!" the voice was exactly like Kurama's. I smiled and bowed in thanks to her. She smiled and threw her voice again to Karasu. "Come on, we can finish the match and this time no Death Tree allowed. How about it?"
With that one pair of footsteps walked away from the door. I smiled and hoped that Karasu was gone. But now we have to deal with the other. But it took me a minute to realize, Karasu stayed and his partner left.
"Oh, no more tricks my little foxes! Brother and sister together! How sweet, please come out and play!" Karasu called. I watched as all color fell from Yara's face as well. "And the fire brethren! How could I have forgotten you?"
I turned to the door and lightly growled. I stopped but the growling continued. I turned and saw Kiki and Kuraro. I smiled and looked up to Kurama and Yara. The color slowly leaked back into their faces as they saw my plan. Send Kiki and Kuraro out instead of them. Yara and Kurama walked over to the foxes and whispered something to them. The foxes seemed to agree for Kurama indicated for me to get the door. As I did I watched as all but Yara and Kurama moved out of the door's range. I opened the door and waited for the foxes to bolt out the door. They did and I slowly peaked out to see Karasu walking behind them. I smiled and turned back to the room, slowly pushing the door close. But before it could close all the way a hand shot into the slight and I recognized it as Karasu's. My eyes opened in shock as I pushed the door hard on his hand. Everyone heard his cry out in immense pain then watch as his hand slipped back out. But I knew Karasu better than that. I back away from the door just in time to miss the explosion. That was when everything seemed to stop. The shards flew into the room and landed on the ground with load plunks. Harry and the others gasped in fear as the door moved millimeter by millimeter open.
"I'm back," called Karasu once the door was fully opened. He was standing there in his normal black outfit and sliver mask. I cringed as his long slender fingers slowly moved through the air. He took a step forward and his cloak swung behind him. His long black hair laid in clumps framing his face. Behind him came a figure similar to him just wearing a robe and not a cloak. He was sending off very bad vibes.
"Voldemort," Harry growled. The man looked to Harry and cringed slightly.
"Your lucky I'm not here for you yet, boy!" Voldemort said. He turned to Yara, Kurama and myself.
"Told you I was right Urameshi! This was the room!" I heard some one call. It was Kuwabara.
"Wow, you were right! Man I should have listen to you," Yusuke said as he stepped into the room behind Voldemort with the oaf behind him. I growled as the two entered the room. "So glad we didn't miss the party!"
"Not yet, Yusuke. But almost, I was just going to get started!" Karasu called as he ran straight for the two. They dodged and watched as Karasu rammed himself into the wall. I smirked at him and watched Voldemort. He shouted something and aimed his wand at Kuwabara. I heard someone else yell a spell and then two different lights headed for Kuwabara. He had no idea what to do. Lucky for him the second spell fired was to defend him; it shot Voldemort's off course and into another wall. I turned and dived out the door near Karasu with Kurama and Yara behind me. Karasu growled and followed us with Yusuke and Kuwabara close on his tail. Voldemort was behind them and the others tried to follow behind him but they all lost us. Yusuke then seemed to remember the others and turned Kuwabara around. The two ran down to the witches and wizards to help while Kurama, Yara and myself got Karasu. While running, Yara and Kurama changed and soon we ended up on the roof. Once there, Youko and Youka turned to fight while I backed away. This was their fight, not mine.
Karasu entered the roof using the same window and was attacked by the two youkai. I smiled as Karasu went flying back and landed with a thud on the other side of the roof. Karasu got up and ran at the two with open palms. His nails skimmed Youka's arm and I watched as it blew up sending blood and skin everywhere. Now it was my fight also, no one attacks Yara without getting payback from me. I charged Karasu taking out my katana in the run and swung for Karasu but he was gone. I turned around and around looking for him; Youko and Youka were joining me. He was gone; we went inside to find Voldemort did the same to the others. I frowned, as I thought of the two of them in the same league together.
"Who was that other man?" Mrs. Weasly asked. I frowned.
"I want to wait to tell you that. Please, I can't," Kurama, said as him and Yara headed up to their rooms. I bid Yusuke and Kuwabara good-bye before heading up to bed myself. For the rest of the day everyone sat around talking or was cleaning one of the many rooms in the house. Finally that night Kurama and Yara were ready.
"Sorry, that was our evil cousin. He has always hated us and wanted us dead. During a certain night we were out and he attacked us. Lucky for us a man with silver hair came and saved us by using some type of plant that ate its victims. Karasu blamed Kurama and myself for his death and now he is out to kill us," Yara said as everyone looked back and forth from the three of us.
"Then what about Kurama saying, lets finish this fight?" Ginny asked.
"Oh, that was because Karasu wants..." Yara began.
"Hiei, wake up! Yara is going to be killed if you don't!" I heard someone whisper. I shot up and looked around. I was in my room that I shared with Ron, Harry, and Kurama. I turned all the way around and spied Kurama getting up. I growled and turned back forward.
"Sorry Hiei. But you were keeping everyone up when you moaned and tossed around. We need some sleep here also," Kurama explained. I was confused.
"You mean Karasu is still dead?" I asked. Kurama winched but shook his head yes. I smiled and looked up to the ceiling.
"What is wrong?" Kurama asked me.
"Bad dream is all," I mumbled. I turned and lay back down on the bed.
"Boys, time to get up! We have to get ready to go," We heard. I frowned and turned on my side to look at Kurama. Kurama simply smiled and turned to get his things. I looked around and saw that it was only Kurama and myself in the room. I smiled and took my bandana off. Kurama turned and watched as I put my things in my suitcase with my Jagan. He laughed and Yara entered the room.
"HIEI! Stop that!" Yara called and grabbed on of m shirts and threw it down on the ground. "What if one of them entered the room and saw that? OR your Jagan?"
"I would erase their memory of it and replace it with something else," I answered simply. Yara and Kurama both frowned at this. I smiled and got up. I walked over to the two of them and hugged them then returned to packing. I heard the two then turn and also pack. I smiled and thought about my nightmare. 'I don't have nightmares though.' I thought. 'So then why did I have one? Or is it a vision of the future?'
"Come on Hiei! We're all done. We have to get these downstairs and then in the car," Kurama called as he and Yara left the room. I finished my packing in seconds then went downstairs to only get stopped by Sirius.
"Be careful around Harry. He seems to like to get himself into trouble. Be extremely careful," Sirius said. Then Remus walked over.
"We will be at the school also so if you need help or think Harry is going to get in trouble please come to us. It is important," he said. I just stared t the two of them. Then Yara came to help me.
"Thanks but we can take care of our self," Yara said. I still stared and watched as they talked.
"I know but still. Be careful, there is suppose to be some demons at the school. We don't really trust them but Dumbledore does. Watch out for them," Sirius said. Yara smiled and looked over to me and I smirked back to her. Sirius and Remus looked at us strange.
"Don't worry about the demons. We can handle them," I said and with that walked away trying hard not to laugh at them.
"That was funny. Do you think they know we are the demons?" Yara asked after she caught up to me.
"I doubt it Yara. But it will be even funnier when we do tell them the truth," I answered. She laughed at the thought and I joined her. That was when Kurama walked up to us.
"What are you laughing about?" Kurama asked us. We began to laugh harder then stop.
"Sirius and Remus. They don't know yet and it is funny," Yara said. Kurama still looked confused so I told him exactly what happened and he laughed with Yara and myself. After about an hour we were all ready to go. Ron, Kurama, Yara, Harry, Hermione and myself scrunched up in the back seat and surprisingly fit. While Remus, Sirius, Mr. Weasly, and Ginny sat in another car. Mrs. Weasly drove ours with a mystery character sat next to her. The two never talked and I couldn't get a good view of the man. Finally after about an hour or so the two cars stopped at a train station. Mrs. Weasly handed us tickets for the train and I read the platform name. It was Nine and Three Quarters. I frowned and looked up to Yara.
"It is between platforms nine and ten. Just wait and see. Spells litter this entire station and you'll be able to find it easily. Trust me," Yara said as she joined the Weaslys in unloading the cars. I frowned and looked for the mystery character. I found him in a matter of seconds. He was talking to Sirius and Remus but had a perfect view of Kurama. Then I knew. I walked up to him and stood there for a second.
"Kourone?" I asked. He looked down to me and smiled.
"Hiei, right?" he asked. I shook my head yes. His smile brightened. "The Forbidden Child?"
"Yes, and how did you know?" I growled. I hated when people or demons knew about me before I even meat them. He smiled and turned to Kurama. "Oh, him."
"Yes, Kurama and a mix of Yusuke. The two seem to think you are a real jerk but can be a softy at times," Kourone said. I frowned and looked over to Kurama who was standing with Yara. The two were talking to the twins and seemed to like something. "You care for her don't you?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about," I growled and looked over to Sirius and Remus. Kourone got the hint and stopped.
"So, how do you know each other?" Remus asked. I frowned and looked over to Kurama and Yara. Remus followed my gaze and laughed.
"How did they know him?" Sirius asked as he pointed to Kourone who had left us and went to Kurama and Yara. The three shared a big hug and then talked.
"They were partners for a long time," I said.
"Oh, in what?" Remus asked. I frowned and looked over to him.
"Thievery," I simply stated. The two eyes open wide and looked over to the three.
"Is that true?" Remus asked. I smiled and shook my head yes. That was when something came to Sirius.
"You guys are the demons!" he cried. I smiled and turned over to Kurama, Yara and Kourone. I turned back to Remus and Sirius to see they had taken a step away from me.
"Like I would waist my time killing you," I said playfully and walked over to the other demons. Once there Kuraro and Kiki walked up and jumped onto their master's shoulders. Kourone smiled and petted the two. Finally after waiting we went into the station, Kurama, Kourone and I had our mouths drop at how many spells the station was littered with.
"Told you," Yara said as she closed her eyes and followed after the others. I frowned and followed but not before I heard Kourone mumble 'Scaredy wizards' or something. I smiled and choked back a laugh. AS we walked through the station I watched as the spells increased. At about platforms nine and ten I wanted to be blind. The light shining off the spells was too much. I saw the door and rushed through before anyone could say anything. Kourone followed me and then Kurama. The three of us took seconds to get through and then Yara came. She was laughing hard at the three of us.
"What?" I growled.
"They way the three of you ran through the door. It was funny," Yara said.
"Isn't that bright for you?" Kourone asked. Yara smiled.
"After going to the school for so long and finding other places with more spells has just made me get use to it. I'm sorry. I should have warned you about that," Yara said. That was when I noticed the rest were staring at us.
"What happened?" Mrs. Weasly asked.
"Uh, there are so many spells in that station that it was too bright for my eyes," I said. Kurama and Kourone agreed with me.
"You can see the spells?" Remus asked amazed. I frowned and shook my head yes.
"Can't you all?" Kourone asked as he stared at them. They all shook their heads no and the subject was dropped when the whistle blew.
"Go to the back, there should be compartments there. Come on, hurry! The train is going to leave soon," Mrs. Weasly called as she pulled Ginny to the back compartments of the train. Once there we entered. There were no open areas in it. We moved to the next one, same thing happened there also. We walked through about five or six compartments before finding two open areas. I took one with Yara, Kurama, Kourone, Harry, Ron and Hermione. We sat down and watched as the others passed to the next room. I watched as when Sirius passed that his face fell and then all color drained form his face. I guess it was because Harry was with a room full of demons and the fact that he can be with him in the same room. It took about five minutes in the room when I felt something stir in my scarf. I jumped slightly and reached in to take out Yakima. I smiled as she stretched out on my hand then jumped over to Hedwig and Pig. I laughed as she tried to swat at the owls and failed. That was when Kiki walked over and picked her up. Yara went to scold Kiki but suddenly stopped and everyone watched as Kiki began to give Yakima a tongue bath. Yara smiled and looked up to me. I was smiling and then turned to look out the window.
"So, have you been sorted?" Hermione asked. She surprised me and I turned to her.
"What do you mean?" Kurama asked.
"It means have you been sorted into one of the four houses. The answer would be no," Yara said. Then she turned to Kourone. "How did you come back?"
"Koenma decided you might need more help and gave me a body. So now I am here," Kourone answered.
"What are you going to do at Hogwarts?" Ron asked taking the words right out of my mouth. Kourone smiled.
"I am the new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher," he said proudly. I heard Ron moan.
"I am so sorry for you!" Ron said. Kourone looked at him confused. "No one stays in that place for more than a year. We get a new teacher every time. The only one I thought would stay didn't. And that was Lupin."
"Oh, no! Lupin and Black are teaching History! Binns left for this year. Said that demons were to dangerous to be trusted," Kourone said with a smiled. That was when all color faded from Harry and Ron. The two turned to Kurama and myself. Kurama laughed.
"Don't worry. We are supposed to be here to protect and not kill. But I would rather kill," I said venomously. Harry and Ron moved slightly away form me and I smiled. That was when a trolley pulled up. Harry bought tons of food and spread it out on around the room. I looked at a small blue package. Ron looked up at this point.
"It is safe, go ahead and try it!" Ron said. I didn't notice his evil smile as he turned to Harry so I opened the package. Inside was a blackish brown thing that jumped the second it was free. But before it could get to far away I snatched it out of thin air. Ron and Harry looked at me in shock.
"How did you do that?" Hermione asked. I looked over.
"A good catch," I muttered as I threw the creature in my mouth. Yara had grabbed a box that said Bearty Botts Every Flavor Jell Beans. She had reached in and took one out. It was a yellowish green color with light green spots on it. Ron and Harry began to snort a little and I wondered why. But before I could finish my thought Yara had run over to the window and spit the bean out.
"THAT WAS GROSS!" She shouted. AT this Ron and Harry went into loud fits of laughter.
"THAT WAS BUGGAR!" Ron said through his fits of laughter. I saw a brownish color bean with darker brown spots. I picked it up and watched as Harry and Ron's gases fixed onto me. I examined it and then looked up to Ron. I faked the throw in my mouth and began to moan as if the bean was good. Ron and Harry's mouth dropped. Lucky for me I spied a second bean like the one I held. I quickly grabbed it and shoved the beans into the two mouths. Then closed them. Rona and Harry began to chew and soon found out what I put in their mouths.
The two also ran for the window and spit the beans out. Yara, Kurama, Kourone, Hermione and myself laughed at the two as they turned and sat back down.
"Do you know what bean flavor that was?" Harry growled. I shock my head no. "It was vomit!"
I began to laugh harder and then heard Yara.
"You deserve it after what you did to me!" Yara cried as she laughed also. Through the rest of the train ride we told embarrassing and funny stories about ourselves and after about an hour Sirius walked in.
"We are almost at Hogwarts. I suggest you change into your robes," He told us. Everyone changed and in a matter of minutes we where at Hogwarts.
"Firs' Years!" I heard someone call. I then noticed it was Hagrid. He looked over to Kurama and myself. He waved his hand telling us to come over. We did and found we had to go with him. We needed to get sorted. I frowned but followed orders. Next thing I knew. I was sitting on a boat that lead me closer and closer to a huge castle.
