KoorimeHiei Here! Kurama and Hiei convinced me to work on this some more.
Kurama: She is great at this suffering thing!
Hiei: I wonder why.
KH: I could tell you my life story. But that would take about a few months to explain. Well, on with the story! Not my life! Hogwarts! Hee hee.

Chapter seven: Hiei, why are you listening in on Youko's and Shuuichi's conversation?
Hiei's POV
"DO you think that they are gone?" Kuroune asked me. I turned and watched the bat demon. After which I threw out my senses and found the two had left.
"Yes. They are gone. What is this all about?" I asked him. Kuroune turned to me. I watched his face as it began to well up into tears.
"You wouldn't understand Hiei. Trust me," he told me. I growled in response.
"DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND!" I shouted at the half dead youkai. Kuroune watched me and then sighed. I turned and went to leave when he caught me.
"Look, the reason I really said that was because... It is an extremely long story that I don't like repeating. I was just making up an excuse. I'm sorry Hiei. I'm just so use to talking to someone with no emotion at all," Kuroune explained. I chocked my head to one side and watched the tall youkai.
"Dou iu imi desu ka?" I asked. (A/N: That means: what does it mean. But I want it to say what do you mean. I hope you get the idea.)
"Wakarimasen," Kuroune said. (A/N: I don't understand, in the translation. I like Japanese!)
"Never mind," I told him as a knock came on the door. We turned and watched the door.
"Kuroune Wa irasshaimasu ka?" called a voice. I recognized it and walked over to the door. (A/N: Kuroune Wa irasshaimasu ka means: is Kuroune there. Hee hee. More Japanese!)
"One moment," called Kuroune. He turned to me and mouthed who is that. I smiled and opened the door. On the other side was a teen about age 16 with slick black hair. Next to him stood the oaf and then...
"YUKINA!" I screeched. Yukina turned to me.
"ANI!" she called as she ran up and hugged me. (A/N: Ani is older brother.)
"Imooto," I said smiling. Yukina backed away from me and smiled as she grabbed Kuwabara's hand. (A/N: Imooto is younger sister. DON'T ARGUE WITH THE AUTHORESS! I DID RESEARCH! I KNOW ALL THESE JAPANESE WORDS! Also, if you review and tell me your email address, I might mail the list to you! Hee hee.)
"Brother and sister?" Kuroune asked behind us. I growled slightly at his intrusion but nodded just the same. Kuroune mouthed and oh and then turned to the detective and the oaf.
"Yusuke and Kuwabara!" Yusuke said as he stuck out a hand. Kuroune looked at the hand and then up to Yusuke.
"Do you not remember me?" Kuroune asked. Yusuke tilted his head to one side and then seemed to remember.
"KUROUNE!" he said with a laugh. "What were the chances of meeting you here?"
"Uh, who knows? I for sure don't! But why are you here? Is it because of the first murder?" Kuroune asked the detective. Yusuke nodded and the two began to talk when I felt something pull on my mind and suddenly it was ripped from my body and shot across the grounds to the Forbidden forest and into Youko's mind, along with Shuuichi's. When I looked around all I could see was a never-ending field of red roses. In the center was Youko and Shuuichi. They were talking.
"Shuuichi, I am sorry!" Youko said to the teen.
"You don't understand Youko!" Shuuichi shouted. I frowned at the conflict between the two souls and waited.
"Shuuichi, the past is the past! I can't change how I was like then! But now I am changed. You and your mother changed me. Please, believe that," Youko called as he walked around Shuuichi, who kept on turning to keep his eyes out of the kitsune's gaze. Finally he stopped and turned to face the kitsune. His fist was raised in the air and came down. It opened up but missed the kitsune.
"Youko, you are a ruthless killer. I am just an innocent human being that you kill at any second if you wanted to. Why not do it now? Hun? KILL ME YOUKO!" Shuuichi shouted. I watched in amazement as Youko Kurama slowly walked up to the distressed teen and the two hugged.
"I could never kill you Shuuichi! I could most likely never kill another being for what you and your mother have taught me. Nothing could change that. Unless you died and I went into a killers' body. But I truly doubt that that would happen. You are part of me and I a part of you. We would never be able to live life without each other. Shuuichi! You are like my younger brother and I can never leave you," Youko said as they slowly began to split. That was when someone first noticed me.
"HIEI?" Shuuichi called as I walked forward.
"How did you get here?" Youko asked as he began to protect Shuuichi. I shrugged and stopped walking.
"I have no idea. One minute I was talking to Kuroune, Yusuke, Kuwabara and Yukina, and then. I am here listening to you two talk," I said as I watched the two. Neither said a thing and we just stood there waiting. As I was standing, I felt the wind blow a few times and ruffle my hair. It was about this time that I felt a furry thing moving against my neck. I looked down and dug in for the thing, only to pull out my black kitten Yakima. She meowed and licked my nose while Youko began to laugh.
"THE TOUGH FORBIDDEN CHILD HAS A LITTLE KITTEN!!!!!!!! THIS IS PUUUUUUUUUURFECT!" He cried out in laughter. I frowned along with Shuuichi and turned away.
"So what if I do, it doesn't matter does it?" I asked. Youko watched me and then burst back into laughter. I sighed and then remembered what the two were talking about. "But what is worse is, the legendary Youko Kurama sucking up to a human."
Youko stopped laughing and glared hard at me. But before he could say a thing I felt something wrong. I was shot back out of Youko's and Shuuichi's conversation only to be revived in front of Yukina.
"Are you alright?" she asked me. I looked around and noticed I had fallen on the ground.
"What happened?" I asked. Yukina frowned.
"You don't remember?" she asked. I shook my head no. "You suddenly attacked Yusuke and Kuwabara. If it wasn't for myself and Kuroune the two most likely would have died."
"I HATE YOU SHRIMP!" Kuwabara called from behind Yukina. I frowned.
"I didn't do it! I was talking to Youko and Shuuichi!" I answered. That was when Youko and Youka entered.
"HIEI! WHY THE FRIG WERE YOU IN MY HEAD?" Youko hollered at me as he broke the door. I cringed at the noise and looked away. "Don't look away from me! Tell me now!"
"But, how is that possible?" Yukina asked interrupting Youko from making another holler at me. I sighed in relief.
"Nani?" Youka asked.
"Hiei just attacked Yusuke and Kuwabara, how could he have been in your head?" Yukina asked. I looked back and forth between everyone and spotted a shadow disappear through the window. 'The shadow has something to do with this. I just know it.' I thought to my self.
"It was a possession," Kuroune said in such a tone that everyone had to look at him.
"Nani?" Yusuke asked. I turned and spotted him sitting behind Kuroune. He looked horrible. Scratches covered his face and arms. I cringed at the though of doing that to him but looked at my hands. They were covered in blood. Their blood.
"No," I whispered. But before anyone could turn and ask me what I said, I took off. 'Run. Must run harder! They are going to catch you!' it echoed through my thoughts. I followed the thought and ran harder and harder till I fell in the dirt. There I waited and finally fell asleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Next day...
"Hiei! Hiei, where are you?" called a voice. Slowly I opened my eyes.
"Kurama?" I muttered. But the voices passed away. I frowned and went to move when I found I was covered in plants. "KURAMA!" I hollered in shock and jumped up. The effort made a sharp pain in my head and surprised me. I fell to my knees and began to cry. 'I attacked Yusuke and Kuwabara. What if it had been Yukina? No! Yara? Or anyone else? This can't be happening!' I thought as I cried.
"Hiei," called a voice behind me. It was feminine and surprised me. It didn't sound like Yukina's. 'Who are you?' I thought to myself as I cried harder.
"ANI!" I heard cried out. 'YUKINA' I thought as I turned and spotted her. She was bounding toward me with joy. I frowned and took off. Fast into the trees and waited.
"Where did he go?" cried the other girl as she jumped to her feet and looked around.
"Ani, where are you? Hiei, please come out! The entire school is looking for you," Yukina said. She sounded as though she was close to tears. (A/N: I know I am crying!) I sighed and went to run away when a near by vine caught me ankle. I looked down and saw it was most likely controlled by Yara or Kurama. In this case it was Kurama.
"Hiei, come out. I have caught you," he cried in a proud manor. I grunted and threw out my energy burning the vine in seconds. Kurama winched slightly at the death of the plant but spotted me. I took off before the kitsune could throw another plant at me and only fell into Dumbledore at the beginning of the entrance of the clearing.
"Ah, Hiei. Come with me," he said as he carried me baby style away to his office.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At night. Shadow's POV.
"Master, Hiei is doing everything as planed," I cried with hast. I didn't very much care for masters style of things. But sadly I had to go with it so he could live. The other already did.
"Good, right on time. Voldemort, you know what to do," cried the voice of my master. I turned and watched as the wizard wrench nodded his head. I frowned and turned back to the ball which showed my master. His jet black hair hung in groups down his face. The sliver mask made it hard to make out his features but he needed it. The violet eyes locked on with Voldemort and held. His black vampire outfit reminded me so much of his last battle. I will make that kitsune pay. First, I'll get his friend, the sister. An anyone else!
"Yes Master Karasu," Voldemort said as he went to disappear but master held out a hand to stop the wizard.
"Don't fail me," master said as Voldemort again nodded his head and took off. I sighed and watched my master. He turned onto me.
"You have done well Shadow. Now, get Hiei so messed up that he wants to kill himself. Make him do the next murder," Karasu said with an evil smile. I nodded.
"Which creature my master?" I asked. Karasu showed a picture of the Gryffindor boy who snapped at them in the common room later the night after the first murder. I smiled.
"They are expecting him to die next. Lets let it go through. Make sure there is loads of blood and a semi quick murder. We don't want him to be stopped or stop it himself," my master said with an evil smile. I nodded again and went to leave but stopped.
"Were should I send him when I take over?" I asked as I turned back. Karasu smiled.
"Send him to his worst nightmare," master said in a evil way. I smiled and nodded, disappearing while doing so.
"Yes, my master," I muttered just before disappearing.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hiei's POV. After Dumbledore caught him...
"What now," I growled as Dumbledore dropped me in a chair in his office. The old wizard said nothing, just watched me. I growled and began to look around. Nothing had really changed from the last time I had been in. But most of the pictures where there. I sighed as I spotted mostly they looked like Dumbledore. "You a relative to these guys or something?"
"No, we just happen to look very much alike. Now would you like to tell me what happened?" Dumbledore asked. I looked over and frowned. I had no idea what he was talking about. "When you attacked Yusuke and Kuwabara. What was going through your head. According to Koenma, you are all friends."
"First off, I have no friends. Second off, I was in Youko Kurama's and Shuuichi Minamino's mind. Just ask him. And third off, I don't remember a thing of attacking Yusuke and Kuwabara. I awoke to Yukina calling out my name," I growled. Suddenly a drink appeared on Dumbledore's desk. I frowned and looked at it.
"Take the drink Hiei," Dumbledore said. I looked up and watched him. Slowly I reached out and grabbed the glass. I waited for a reaction but none came. Slowly I turned from Dumbledore to the drink. I tried to watch the two but failed so I studied the cup and liquid inside it. The liquid was a greenish blue, which reminded me a lot of Yukina. I sniffed the contents and coughed slightly at the gases coming off the liquid.
"What is this stuff?" I growled. Dumbledore said nothing. Slowly I took a sip. It was horrendous. I spit the contents out and onto the ground.
"Ok, Hiei. I think you should head to the hospital wing. Yukina is waiting for you outside my office," Dumbledore said as he stood. I went to stand also but fell back into the chair. My legs were too weak. I looked up and watched as my vision came in and out. I gasped and tried to talk but found nothing worked correctly. Dumbledore slowly walked over and picked me up off the chair. I began to feel dizzy and rocked my head back and forth with the man's movements. It didn't help but only made everything worse. I felt my eyes close and snapped them open, only to have them try and close on me again. For a few minutes I had this fight with my eyes till Dumbledore closed them for me. I moaned and passed out in the man's arms as he began to talk to someone.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Reader's POV (A/N: I know that I am changing all different POVs, but I need to for the story so just follow along as best you can.) Hospital wing.
"Hiei, just got some truth potion," Yukina told Kurama as they watched over the small youkai's body. It would shudder and turn ever now and then but nothing to serious. No muttering, nothing.
"Shouldn't he be talking then?" Kurama asked. At this point an old man walked in. It was Dumbledore. Behind him held Kuroune and Snape.
"Not yet. It takes a few minutes, sometimes hours to kick in," Snape called. Kurama turned and glared at the teacher before facing the sleeping form on the bed.
"Kurama, stop staring at Yukina and Botan," Hiei suddenly muttered. Kurama blushed bright red as Yukina turned and giggled. "That oaf can never have my sister!"
"Hey," called a voice. Kurama looked up and spotted Yusuke and Kuwabara. "Did we come at the right time?"
"Just started talking," Yukina said with a giggle, forcing Kurama to blush again. Dumbledore turned to Snape and the potion's teacher turned and left. Kuroune left a few seconds later.
"I'll trust you all to tell me what he says. Some things might be private," Dumbledore said with a nod and left.
"Yusuke, you can fight!" Hiei called as he turned in the bed. Kurama laughed slightly as Yusuke turned and watched.
"He's telling the truth right?" Kuwabara asked. Kurama nodded and watched as Yusuke frowned.
"Kuwabara, get away! You smell as bad as a monkey's ass," Hiei murmured. Kuwabara blushed as Kurama went to try and experiment.
"How do you know what that smells like?" Kurama asked. Hiei muttered something. "What?"
"I had one stuffed in my face," Hiei snapped clearly. The group laughed and thought of what else to ask. That was right about when Yara walked in.
"How's he doing?" she asked. Kurama nodded ok and she sat next to him. Yusuke looked up and watched as Kurama wrapped his arm around her shoulders and watch Hiei closely.
"How am I suppose to know how I got here?" Hiei snapped like in Kurama's vision.
"What do you mean Hiei?" Kurama asked breaking the uneasy silence that had begun to creep its way in.
"I was talking to people and was then thrown to your thoughts!" Hiei cried and he swatted the air in mid turn. Yusuke and Kuwabara tried to hold back a laugh.
"Did you see anything while coming into my mind?" Kurama asked. Hiei went to shake his head no but stopped.
"Yes, a black shadow or something. It was there for the first murder also!" Hiei called lightly. Kurama nodded and looked up to Yusuke and Kuwabara.
"Go get Dumbledore," Kurama said. Yusuke and Kuwabara nodded and took off. But just as they went off Hiei opened his eyes. Yukina gasped and watched as Hiei pulled himself out of the bed.
"He wasn't suppose to wake up yet!" Yukina called. Kurama jumped from the bed and pushed Yusuke and Kuwabara out of the room. Yara followed Hiei while Yukina sat on the bed calling out the same sentence over and over. Yusuke and Kuwabara took off while Hiei walked out of the hospital wing. Kurama and Yara followed until Hiei took off at top speed, away.
"Now what?" Yara asked her brother and waited. Kurama shrugged and looked at the area where Hiei had been once before.
"What happened?" Dumbledore cried as he rushed up behind the two. Yara sighed as did Kurama.
"He took off," Kurama said with a deep sigh. Dumbledore nodded.
"He wasn't suppose to wake up but he must be strong cause of the Jagan eye," Dumbledore said. Kurama nodded in agreement and the three waited. AS they waited a scream began to echo through the halls searching for a big pair of ears to hear it. It found Kurama's and Yara's. The duo turned and began to head in the direction of the scream with Dumbledore on their heels. After a minute they found the source. Around a corner sat Hiei and a body. Hiei sat on his legs crying. Black tear gems scattered the floor like a maze and covered the body. Kurama looked hard and noticed it was the young boy from the Gryffindor common room. He was the one who called them murderers.
"I didn't! I didn't! I was trapped in a memory!" Hiei muttered to himself and shook from crying. Kurama slowly walked thought he maze of blood and gems and finally reaching Hiei. Slowly Kurama laid a hand on Hiei shoulder and watched as the fire youkai jumped. Hiei turned and spotted Kurama. Slowly the youkai laid his own hand on the poor teen's. Kurama gasped in shock as he noticed it was covered in blood. Quickly the kitsune pulled back.
"You have blood on your hands," Kurama said with shock. Hiei jumped to his feet and turned to show blood spattered all over himself.
"I didn't... I didn't do it! I... I was er... In a memory! Please, believe me!" Hiei called as he rushed over and almost fell on some gems but didn't care. "Please, Kurama!"
"I.. I can't Hiei. You have the kid's blood on your hands and clothes! I'm sorry," Kurama said as he quickly turned and took off. Yara switched back and forth between the two and finally went after Kurama. Dumbledore stayed and watched Hiei. The koorime looked over to the old teacher and prayed for forgiveness but received none.
"I must call Koenma. In the mean time, you will be locked up in the dungeons," Dumbledore said as he turned and walked away. Hiei frowned and fell to his knees in despair. No one believed him anymore. Slowly the youkai walked down to the dungeons and locked himself in one with Snape's help. After a few minutes Hiei drifted into an uneasy sleep.

The effort made a sharp pain in my head and surprised me. I fell to my knees and began to cry. 'I attacked Yusuke and Kuwabara. What if it had been Yukina? No! Yara? Or anyone else?

"No, we just happen to look very much alike. Now would you like to tell me what happened?" Dumbledore asked. I looked over and frowned. I had no idea what he was talking about. "When you attacked Yusuke and Kuwabara. What was going through your head. According to Koenma, you are all friends."
"First off, I have no friends. Second off, I was in Youko Kurama's and Shuuichi Minamino's mind. Just ask him. And third off, I don't remember a thing of attacking Yusuke and Kuwabara. I awoke to Yukina calling out my name," I growled. Suddenly a drink appeared on Dumbledore's desk. I frowned and looked at it.
"Take the drink Hiei," Dumbledore said. I looked up and watched him. Slowly I reached out and grabbed the glass. I waited for a reaction but none came. Slowly I turned from Dumbledore to the drink. I tried to watch the two but failed so I studied the cup and liquid inside it. The liquid was a greenish blue, which reminded me a lot of Yukina. I sniffed the contents and coughed slightly at the gases coming off the liquid.
"What is this stuff?" I growled. Dumbledore said nothing. Slowly I took a sip. It was horrendous. I spit the contents out and onto the ground.
"Ok, Hiei. I think you should head to the hospital wing. Yukina is waiting for you outside my office," Dumbledore said as he stood. I went to stand also but fell back into the chair. My legs were too weak. I looked up and watched as my vision came in and out. I gasped and tried to talk but found nothing worked correctly. Dumbledore slowly walked over and picked me up off the chair. I began to feel dizzy and rocked my head back and forth with the man's movements. It didn't help but only made everything worse. I felt my eyes close and snapped them open, only to have them try and close on me again. For a few minutes I had this fight with my eyes till Dumbledore closed them for me. I moaned and passed out in the man's arms as he began to talk to someone.

Reader's POV (A/N: I know that I am changing all different POVs, but I need to for the story so just follow along as best you can.) Hospital wing.
"Hiei, just got some truth potion," Yukina told Kurama as they watched over the small youkai's body. It would shudder and turn ever now and then but nothing to serious. No muttering, nothing.
"Shouldn't he be talking then?" Kurama asked. At this point an old man walked in. It was Dumbledore. Behind him held Kuroune and Snape.
"Not yet. It takes a few minutes, sometimes hours to kick in," Snape called. Kurama turned and glared at the teacher before facing the sleeping form on the bed.
"Kurama, stop staring at Yukina and Botan," Hiei suddenly muttered. Kurama blushed bright red as Yukina turned and giggled. "That oaf can never have my sister!"
"Hey," called a voice. Kurama looked up and spotted Yusuke and Kuwabara. "Did we come at the right time?"
"Just started talking," Yukina said with a giggle, forcing Kurama to blush again. Dumbledore turned to Snape and the potion's teacher turned and left. Kuroune left a few seconds later.
"I'll trust you all to tell me what he says. Some things might be private," Dumbledore said with a nod and left.
"Yusuke, you can fight!" Hiei called as he turned in the bed. Kurama laughed slightly as Yusuke turned and watched.
"He's telling the truth right?" Kuwabara asked. Kurama nodded and watched as Yusuke frowned.
"Kuwabara, get away! You smell as bad as a monkey's ass," Hiei murmured. Kuwabara blushed as Kurama went to try and experiment.
"How do you know what that smells like?" Kurama asked. Hiei muttered something. "What?"
"I had one stuffed in my face," Hiei snapped clearly. The group laughed and thought of what else to ask. That was right about when Yara walked in.
"How's he doing?" she asked. Kurama nodded ok and she sat next to him. Yusuke looked up and watched as Kurama wrapped his arm around her shoulders and watch Hiei closely.
"How am I suppose to know how I got here?" Hiei snapped like in Kurama's vision.
"What do you mean Hiei?" Kurama asked breaking the uneasy silence that had begun to creep its way in.
"I was talking to people and was then thrown to your thoughts!" Hiei cried and he swatted the air in mid turn. Yusuke and Kuwabara tried to hold back a laugh.
"Did you see anything while coming into my mind?" Kurama asked. Hiei went to shake his head no but stopped.
"Yes, a black shadow or something. It was there for the first murder also!" Hiei called lightly. Kurama nodded and looked up to Yusuke and Kuwabara.
"Go get Dumbledore," Kurama said. Yusuke and Kuwabara nodded and took off. But just as they went off Hiei opened his eyes. Yukina gasped and watched as Hiei pulled himself out of the bed.
"He wasn't suppose to wake up yet!" Yukina called. Kurama jumped from the bed and pushed Yusuke and Kuwabara out of the room. Yara followed Hiei while Yukina sat on the bed calling out the same sentence over and over. Yusuke and Kuwabara took off while Hiei walked out of the hospital wing. Kurama and Yara followed until Hiei took off at top speed, away.
"Now what?" Yara asked her brother and waited. Kurama shrugged and looked at the area where Hiei had been once before.
"What happened?" Dumbledore cried as he rushed up behind the two. Yara sighed as did Kurama.
"He took off," Kurama said with a deep sigh. Dumbledore nodded.
"He wasn't suppose to wake up but he must be strong cause of the Jagan eye," Dumbledore said. Kurama nodded in agreement and the three waited. AS they waited a scream began to echo through the halls searching for a big pair of ears to hear it. It found Kurama's and Yara's. The duo turned and began to head in the direction of the scream with Dumbledore on their heels. After a minute they found the source. Around a corner sat Hiei and a body. Hiei sat on his legs crying. Black tear gems scattered the floor like a maze and covered the body. Kurama looked hard and noticed it was the young boy from the Gryffindor common room. He was the one who called them murderers.
"I didn't! I didn't! I was trapped in a memory!" Hiei muttered to himself and shook from crying. Kurama slowly walked thought he maze of blood and gems and finally reaching Hiei. Slowly Kurama laid a hand on Hiei shoulder and watched as the fire youkai jumped. Hiei turned and spotted Kurama. Slowly the youkai laid his own hand on the poor teen's. Kurama gasped in shock as he noticed it was covered in blood. Quickly the kitsune pulled back.
"You have blood on your hands," Kurama said with shock. Hiei jumped to his feet and turned to show blood spattered all over himself.
"I didn't... I didn't do it! I... I was er... In a memory! Please, believe me!" Hiei called as he rushed over and almost fell on some gems but didn't care. "Please, Kurama!"
"I.. I can't Hiei. You have the kid's blood on your hands and clothes! I'm sorry," Kurama said as he quickly turned and took off. Yara switched back and forth between the two and finally went after Kurama. Dumbledore stayed and watched Hiei. The koorime looked over to the old teacher and prayed for forgiveness but received none.
"I must call Koenma. In the mean time, you will be locked up in the dungeons," Dumbledore said as he turned and walked away. Hiei frowned and fell to his knees in despair. No one believed him anymore. Slowly the youkai walked down to the dungeons and locked himself in one with Snape's help. After a few minutes Hiei drifted into an uneasy sleep.
