Chapter Five: The First Murder

HIEI'S POV

"Herbology?" I said. Kurama looked down to me and I looked up to him.

"What about it?" Kurama asked. I frowned.

"Two kitsune surrounded by plants. Not a good idea!" I informed him.

"Oh don't worry! It can't be that bad," Yara said as we entered the Herbology area. Kurama and Yara stopped in place and looked at all the plants. I frowned.

"Not that bad eh?" I asked as I took another step forward. Kurama and Yara passed me and I watched as each plant leaned into the path to grab some of the two's energy. But they retreated as I walked past. Being a fire demon I could burn them with just a slight touch of my hand covered in my energy. But if I powered up slightly then all the plants could burn. I laughed at the plants intelligent. It was higher then even Kuwabara's. (A/N: Sorry, I don't like Kuwabara!)

"Well, hello class!" called a voice. I looked up and saw a professor. I guessed it was Sprout and watched as she walked around each of us. As she walked she paused at Kurama, Yara and myself. Once done she walked back up to me. "I can't allow you to touch a single plant."

I smiled and shook my head ok. She then turned to Kurama and Yara. She watched them for a second and that was when I noticed all the plants were at an ark over me, trying to reach Yara and Kurama. I laughed slightly at them and walked over to a corner. There I leaned up against the wall and watched as the plants near me moved as far away from me.

"Class, do you notice anything strange?" Professor Sprout asked. The class shook their head yes. I laughed slightly and reached out to one of the plants. It was a fire wood plant that leaned close to me. "Can you tell me what is going on?"

Hands went up as I touched the plant. It shook slightly at my touch then seemed to relax and enjoyed my caressing it. I looked and watched as Professor Sprout called on Hermione. She then explained the entire situation. 'Hello Cap'n Obvious.' I thought to myself and looked to Kurama and Yara. They two looked like they were sweat dropping. I smiled and turned to the students. I caressed the fire plant some more and looked around to see if I could name the different names. I failed with only... Zero names. I looked up to see some of the students were watching me. I glared at each and hoped they would look away but it didn't work. I growled deep in my throat.

"Hiei!" snapped Professor Sprout. I looked to her. "Didn't I tell you not to touch anything?"

"No, you said you couldn't allow it. Plus this is a fire plant. It wanted some of my energy," I explained. She growled lightly and glared at me. I watched as she turned back to the class and I watched as each kid began to work with a certain plant. Almost all of them were failing. I turned to Kurama and Yara watching as they were one of the only ones to be doing whatever successfully. That was when I looked across the room and noticed a small plant pocking out of the soil. I stared at it hard and then noticed what it was. "Death tree." I muttered. Kurama looked over and saw what I was staring at.

"Excuse me! Professor Sprout? Why do you have a Death Tree growing in here?" Kurama asked nicely. Sprout looked up and looked over to the plant. It had grow larger in the past few seconds.

"So that is what it is," Sprout responded. I almost fell over. I turned to glare at her when I notice Kurama slowly walking over to it. I watched as when he got closer it grew. It looked around the room then seemed to notice me. I growled lightly and watched as it dived for me. I went to move but saw a blur of sliver and stopped. Kurama had transformed and began to try and gain control over it. He was failing badly. Yara slowly walked over. She was trying hard not to get caught on one of the plants mouths. But with it constantly moving it looked pretty hard. Even with her flexibility she got hit with some acid saliva. I frowned as the smell of burning skin filled the air. I slowly began to move out of the corner. What a mistake that was. I had moved right underneath one of the mouths The acid saliva dropped on my head causing a huge head ache. Lucky for me I was still able to get away. But my head hurt.

"Out of here!" I snapped at the stunned witches and wizards. They turned their attention to me. "GET OUT!" I hollered. The students shook their heads yes then took off. Professor Sprout followed them and I swore I heard her yell for someone to go get Dumbledore. I growled and turned to the two kitsunes. "Hurry up."

"W... We... We are... Trying!" Kurama growled as he continued to try and turn the Death Tree back to a seed. I turned around and looked at the door. 'They can't come in. A FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!' I thought. With that I rushed over a created a fire. I watched as the plants around the door moved as far away as possible. I grabbed the pots and began to move all of them from the door. 'Don't need these guys to catch on fire!' After I moved ten plants I found I was done. I walked back to the fire and found that it slowly was dying. I began to put my energy back into the fire and watched as it grew.

"Sir, there is a fire on the other side!" called a voice from the other side of the door. I smiled. But then I heard some muttering and the fire began to die on me. 'DAME!!!!!!!!!!!' I thought. I put more energy into the fire. "It is still there!"

The muttering came again and the fire began to die. I growled and began to put more energy into the fire but heard a familiar chant from out side. 'NOOOOO!' I thought as I noticed what it was. I felt my energy being drained and growled as the fire finally died. I collapsed onto the ground as Dumbledore followed by McGonagall, Snape, Sprout, and Kuroune enter the room. Kuroune saw the Death Tree and then me on the ground breathing heavily.

"Sorry," he muttered as he walked past trying hard to get in front of the other professors. I smiled as he got in front of them and forced them back. "Don't go near that! Go back out there and wait!"

"But the two students!" McGonagall said as she took another step forward. Kuroune pushed her back.

"Don't worry! They can handle them selves!" Kuroune said as he began to push the professors out of the room. He came back on and knelt by my side. "Sorry, but Dumbledore forced me."

"How did you know the Koorime chant?" I wheezed out. He looked down at me.

"I did learn some things in the Spirit world child," Kuroune said as he looked up to Yara and Kurama. Finally the two finished and the professors entered the room just in time to see the two pass out followed soon by me.

HOSPITAL WING

I woke to find myself in a white room. I sat up to see I was lying on a white bed with white sheets. 'Was is it with white in this room?' I asked myself. I looked around and saw Yara and Kurama sitting on two other beds. I frowned and looked around again only to see the burning color of white. 'Way to much white for me.' I mumble in my head and laid back down. After a few minutes I heard foot steps. I sat up and looked over to see a woman walking up to me holding chocolate. I frowned at the brownish colored food and turned to Kurama and Yara to find they just woke up. I smiled and thought of how coincidental that was.

"Eat this!" snapped the woman as she shoved the melting food into my hands. I frowned and watched as she gave it to Yara and Kurama also. "Eat it!"

I looked up to the woman and she glared at me. I frowned and slowly brought a small piece up to my mouth. I dropped it in and watched as she smirked and walked away. That was when the taste hit me. The warm feeling. The taste was like heaven had opened it doors to me. I sunk down in my bed a little and savored the melting chocolate for as long as possible. The rich taste of pure sugar, the heavenly feeling it gave me. 'So this is what it tastes like!' I thought to myself. I began to sink lower and lower in my bed as I added more of the chocolate heaven in my mouth. 'It fells so good! It fells so right!' I said in thought. 'Heaven has opened it doors to me! Oh this is good!' Suddenly I was interrupted from my savoring from laughter. I opened my closed eyes and saw both Yara and Kurama were staring and laughing at me. I swallowed my heavenly chocolate and glared at them.

"What?" I asked angrily. Yara shook her head no. While Kurama put his hands up in defense.

"Nothing Hiei, nothing," he told me. I growled and looked around for more of my heavenly chocolate. (A/N: I'm getting hungry! How about all of you? Oh and I got this from the third Harry Potter book. Harry always had to have some chocolate after an encounter with the dementors. So I decided to do the same! So I must say, J.K. Rowling had this idea first and I am borrowing it from her!)

"Where is that?" I growled when I didn't spot any chocolate. Kurama laughed slightly and turned my attention to him.

"What never had chocolate before?" Kurama asked me. I growled deep in my throat.

"So what if I didn't?" I asked. He laughed and Yara joined him. I growled again and glared at the two. "I want more,' I said in a silent pout. Kurama's head jerked up.

"Are you pouting?" Kurama asked me. I growled and shook my head no. It didn't work.

"Hiei was pouting!" Yara said with a laugh. Kurama joined in her laughter and I glared at the two some more. I began to send millions upon millions of death threats to them but they still laughed.

"Glad to see you are all alright!" I heard someone say behind me. I turned, hand still in the air in the shape of a fist, and spotted Dumbledore, Kuroune, and McGonagall. I growled and turned away.

"Yeah, we are fine. Just used up all of our spirit energy," Kurama explained. I growled lightly that I didn't hoping no one heard. To bad.

"I am really sorry about that Hiei," I heard Kuroune say. I ignored him as best as I could. It failed.

"I just want to know who you heard it from so I can kill him or her," I snapped.

"You can't if they are already dead," Kuroune responded. I growled.

"I can have Koenma bring him or her back then kill them," I shouted back. I heard Yara laugh and turned to face her. "What?"

"I don't think you would want to kill this being Hiei," Yara said. I growled.

"And why not?" I asked.

"It was actually Youka who told Kuroune," Kurama said. I turned and glared at him then to Yara.

"And how did you find out?" I asked Yara.

"Yukina," she answered simply. I growled and mentally noted to yell at Yukina.

"So, what happened?" Dumbledore asked. Kurama explained the entire thing to Dumbledore and soon we were let free from the hospital wing. (I found out that name later.) (A/N: That was from Hiei!) I began to roam the hallways at night and found some interesting things. Peeves, one of the few ghosts still left, was playing tricks on different people. A few times I sat and watched him silently through the entire night. Finally I decided to ask Peeves to play pranks on a certain professor. Peeves agreed, only after I burnt his butt a few times. (A/N: Yes Hiei's fire can burn the ghosts. The reason is because that his fire is mostly spirit energy and a ghost is a spiritual form.)

After a few weeks at Hogwarts found I was beginning to like it. I growled every time that one thought entered my mind. Today was suppose to be a 'Quidditch' tryouts. Kurama convinced me to try out for Beater. 'What ever the hell that is.' I thought. We were waiting outside with Yara. Kurama was also trying out for Beater and Yara was trying for Catcher. Each of us were giving brooms and were waiting with other kids. That was when Harry, Ginny, and Ron flue over.

"Can we have Yara come out," Harry asked. Yara jumped onto her broom and soon the four took off. Yara did everything correctly along with Kurama and myself after. Once done Harry informed us of when the results would be posted and everyone left. I stayed outside for a few minutes more watching the edge or the Forbidden Forest. 'Something is in there. What is it?' I asked myself. That was when I felt something on my shoulders. I looked up to see Yara standing above me.

"Can you feel it?" she asked me. I followed her gaze back to the forest.

"Yeah, that precisions isn't meant to be there. But what can we do about it right now?" I asked. She looked down at me and I looked up at her.

"Nothing but keep it in mind. I feel that it will reveal itself to the entire school soon," Yara said as she let go of me and headed over to Kurama. I turned and watched as Kurama wrapped his arm around her waist and then the two walked side by side up to the school. I growled and felt a hint of jealously run through my veins. 'I am not jealous. They are brother and sister!' I thought ferociously. I went to catch up when I head something behind me. I quickly turned but only saw a shadow move across the ground. I growled and looked up to the sky to see an owl.

"Stupid bird," I said as I rushed over to the closing door of the school. (A/N: This next sentence or two will be in a Hiei's and Reader's POV. I'll tell you when it is over.) But what I didn't know was that the owl's shadow split into two. One of the two shadows followed me all the way into the school and then left down a different hall way. (An: Ok it is over! Just a normal Hiei's POV. Sorry about that!)

"Hiei, what is wrong?" Kurama asked after I caught up to the two kitsunes. I ignored him and the three of us headed into the Great Hall for dinner. We were going to be late. We rounded a corner when I got the weird feeling again. I stopped and looked around. Yara and Kurama stopped along with me. "What is that?"

"I don't know," Yara answered Kurama. I shot forward with Yara and Kurama on my tail and soon we rounded a second corner to find a young Ravenclaw laying dead on the ground. I stood there in shock. Kurama and Yara joined me. That was when the hallways filled with kids talking. I frowned as in a matter of moments the three of us were surrounded by different houses. The talking stopped ad the hallway was in silence. Till suddenly a Hufflepuff screamed out.

"MURDERERS!!" screamed the Hufflepuff. I looked around and noticed the kids seemed to have backed away from us. That was when I noticed the shadow on one of the walls. I growled. 'What is that? I need to know but if I leave now and not explain myself then I will convince these terrified students that I am the murderer.' I thought. That was when I heard something. -'Hiei, try to erase their minds of this!'- I turned and noticed it was Kurama. I looked at the amount of students. '-There are to many!-' I thought in despair. I noticed Yara and Kurama's face fall. --'There must be something we can do!'-- Yara thought. I frowned and looked over to where the shadow had been seconds before. But it was gone. I frowned. That was when I saw the teachers. '-Oh dame.-' I thought.

"Everyone go to your House Dorms! NOW!" Dumbledore hollered. Each listened and turned to head to their dorms. Kurama, Yara and myself went to follow when Kuroune, Lupin and Black stopped us. "You are staying."

I frowned at the Professor but stopped. I stood still and waited. Yara and Kurama followed my lead. Once he was sure we wouldn't leave, Kuroune relaxed. That was when Kurama got the courage to speak.

"Why do we have to stay Professor?" he asked. I turned at his Kuwabara like question. Kurama said nothing.

"Because you are the only ones here that might know what happened here," McGonagall said. I frowned.

"We weren't here to see what happened. We were coming from Quidditch tryouts to come eat when we found the body like this," Yara said in a panicky voice. Dumbledore stared at us hard. He then turned to the body. That was when I noticed something. The body was moving slightly. I gasped lightly and felt all eyes turn on me.

"She is still alive," I whispered quietly. Everyone then looked to the body to see it slightly move up and fall as it took a breath. That was when I cast out my senses and found she was near death. Dumbledore rushed over to the body and handed it to McGonagall and told her something. Sadly at this time Peeves came over. I frowned.

"SHE'S DYING!" Peeves said in shock. All the teachers looked up to the ghost. I simply watched the body. After a few seconds I noticed the soul starting to slip out of the girls pursed lips. I growled and lunged forward with Kurama at my side. I snatched the girl right out of McGonagall's hands and laid her down for Kurama. Kurama put his hands over her and began to throw his energy into her to heal her. Yara came over to join when I felt something grip the back of my shirt and rip me away. I looked up to see it was Snape. Lupin had grabbed Yara and Black held Kurama. I growled. I watched as the soul departed further.

"Now you can't excuse them professor! They are the killers! They were even trying to kill her after they found that they didn't finish the job!" Snape called. I looked up to Kuroune and found his stare on me. I nodded my head to the girl. He slowly looked over and saw the soul departing. In a matter of seconds, no one will be able to save her. Kuroune gasped drawing all attention to him. He dived for the body and began to try and save the girl.

"LET THEM GO! I NEED THEIR HELP!" Kuroune hollered to the professors. Black and Lupin let go and the two kitsunes dived forward to help. But even the three of them were just about strong enough to hold the soul in place. They needed me to put the soul back. Only koorimes could do that! I turned and glared at Snape. "LET HIM GO SNAPE!"

Snape didn't let go. I glared more and looked down to see if I kicked back I had the perfect target to hit. I lifter my leg and kicked. Dead on. Snape gasped and dropped me as I dived for the girl. But Snape fell onto my legs trapping me. I growled and tried to move but Snape used all of his energy to hold me down. I looked up to see the soul just lift out of the girls mouth and disappear to the Spirit World. I laid there in shock. Kuroune, Kurama and Yara sat on their legs and sighed deeply. Snape got off me and looked around. That was when Peeves decided to make himself known again.

"YOU IDIOT! YOU JUST KILLED THAT GIRL!" Peeves shouted at Snape. Everyone turned to Peeves except me. I kept my glare on the girl's body.

"What are you talking about Peeves?" Lupin asked.

"Those four are demons and can see Spirit energy. They saw that the girl's spirit was leaving her body! One thing with Spirit energy is that you can hold a soul captive in a body for as long as you have your spirit energy. Koorimes are the only things that can force a soul to stay in a body. Hiei here happens to be half Koorime! He was trying to save the girl along with them!" Peeves snapped. I looked down the ground and felt the teachers stare switch to me.

"Is this true?" Professor Flitwick asked me. I nodded my head yes and turned over to the wall. No one said a thing for a moment. But then Dumbledore walked over and grabbed the Ravenclaw girl's body. He then turned to Kurama, Yara and myself.

"You three, Kuroune and Peeves, come to my office now. The rest of you go tell the students what has happened and then head to you own offices. Do nothing else. Go now!" Dumbledore said. The teachers left and the six of us headed to Dumbledore's office. Once there Dumbledore pointed to four chairs. "Sit."

We sat down and waited. Dumbledore laid the girls body on his desk and then headed into the back room. While he was in there I looked around. The room was filled with pictures of past Professors. Each was watching us closely. I frowned and looked up to see Dumbledore entered the room again and was waiting for someone. Suddenly there was a puff of smoke in front of us and inside stood Koenma is his teen form.

"Yes Dumbledore?" Koenma asked.
