KH: New chapter. Sorry but I was grounded so I couldn't work on my stories. That is why I am late.
Hiei: Baka.
Kurama: Stop it Hiei.
KH: Oh well. Well, here is the next chapter!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chapter Eight: Poor Hiei, Yara, and Kuroune? What is going on?
Kurama's POV. Gryffindor common room.
"I feel so bad," I said as Yara held me in her arms. She sighed deeply against me.
"I know, but it is for the best Kurama. If he is really doing all these murders, well. He must be stopped," Yara said to me. I felt something wet drop on my head. I sighed as well and backed off of her. She looked down at me with a tear stained face. I frowned and looked away.
"How can you say that about your boyfriend?" I asked. I heard her sigh again and felt bad. 'It must be horrible for her. I mean, Hiei was only a friend to me but... Yara and Hiei were boyfriend and girlfriend!' I thought.
"Well, its just... I don't know. I have sort of gotten use to it. After Youko died Youka would go for any guy she meet up with. Most she either killed, or they were killed themselves. She got use to the losses and I guess it passed onto me after which she died. Plus, I had all those problems back in my own life. I sort of became an emotionless bitch," she responded. I sighed and looked up to her.
"Your not an emotionless bitch. Your perfect for Hiei. You two get along great! You must be together!" I said in shock. After which I looked in to eyes and found the normal sight had disappeared and was replaced with no emotion at all.
"YOU WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND YOU BASTARD!" Yara cried as she suddenly pushed me onto the ground and took off out of the common room. I cried out in shock and watched her.
"Yara!" I finally called. After a few seconds of silence, I chased after her. It took me awhile but I found her in the hospital wing with Yukina.
"Yara, what is wrong?" Yukina asked. Yara said nothing but just grabbed Yukina by the throat. I watched in horror as Yara threw the female koorime across the room. After Yukina landed on the floor, Yara advanced. I couldn't take it, I rushed in.
"YARA, STOP!" I shouted as I cut into her path. Yara continued to advance. I frowned and went to call out again, but she picked up speed and caught me. I gasped as her cold figures wrapped around my neck and squeezed tight. Her eyes were still filled with no emotion at all. I could feel my green eyes digging into her and finding nothing. It was like she lost her soul.
"YARA," Yukina cried out as she rushed over and grabbed Yara's arm. My sister's face turned to Yukina's. I watched as Yara's other arm raised into the air and hit Yukina across the face. Yukina fell to the ground crying out in pain and landing with a thud. I turned to Yara's face and watched as her eyes quickly changed to that of horror. She let go of me and I fell next to Yukina.
"NO! I didn't! I was... No!" Yara said as she fell to her knees and became a blubbering mess. Yukina looked up and watched Yara for a second before turning to watch me. We traded glances and then turned back to watch Yara cry.
"What happened?" I asked her. She looked up and watched as I began to slowly rub my neck.
"I was talking to you when I was pulled into my thoughts. I couldn't get out and watched as you died all over again. The memory repeated over and over! Oh Kurama!" Yara said as she fell into my arms. Yukina turned back to me and I shrugged my shoulders.
"Do you know what you did to us?" Yukina asked Yara. I felt her head move to say no. I sighed and turned to Yukina. "Did you see a shadow like figure?"
"No, I saw nothing but the memory of Youko dying!" Yara said. I frowned and got up while holding Yara.
"We must get to Dumbledore," I said. Yara pulled out of my arms and watched me.
"NO! He'll throw me in the dungeons like Hiei!" Yara said in panic. I sighed.
"He must know that this is happening to other people. Once he does he can let Hiei go," I explained but at this point noise blossomed outside the hospital wing. In came Dumbledore, the nurse, Snape, and Lupin, who was holding the body of another student. After which came in Kuroune with blood all over his hands.
"Kuroune!" Yara cried. Kuroune looked up and I spotted sadness in his eyes.
"I didn't do it," was all he said. That was when Dumbledore walked over.
"What are you doing in here?" He asked Yara and myself as Yukina ran over to the body. I frowned and turned to Yara. She kept her mouth shut along with myself. That was when Yukina came back over.
"I asked to talk with them is all," Yukina said. Dumbledore nodded and turned back over to Kuroune.
"You have killed this young student, what do you have to say for yourself?" he asked my old partner. Yusuke then entered the wing.
"It's not their fault," He said. Behind him came Kuwabara, Hiei and then Koenma.
"What do you mean?" Dumbledore asked the teen.
"They are being possessed by a shadow demon. This creature is making them kill the students and hoping that it will end up getting rid of the few it takes over. He is hoping to send them all to the spirit world jail. But that won't happen. I had set up a trap in Yara, Kurama and Kuroune. Both Yara and Kuroune were hit. Each at the same time. Kuroune with a wizard spell and Yara was possessed. So that means Hiei had one of the same things happen to him," Koenma explained. Dumbledore nodded and turned to Kuroune and then back to Koenma.
"But how can we stop them from killing?" Dumbledore asked. Koenma shrugged. I frowned and looked up.
"I guess you have to lock us up," I said. Yara and Hiei turned to me. I frowned but ignored their gazes. Dumbledore nodded in agreement.
"I think that is about the only thing we can do. Same for you Kuroune," Dumbledore said with a sigh. I frowned and felt my eyes tear up.
"NO, if you do that then the students would panic and inform their parents! We are lucky that none have told about the first murder as of yet, never mind the second and now this one! We have been searching letter after letter for this. And if we make all of these kids disappear, well. We might have to stop letting the kids contact their parents and then no vacations," Lupin cried. Dumbledore nodded his head again.
"I know you have a point but what else are we to do?" Dumbledore asked. I thought but couldn't come up with a thing. That was when Kuwabara spoke up.
"You could have a guard follow them around," he said. I looked over to him in surprise.
"Great thinking!" Dumbledore said as he patted Kuwabara on the back. I stood in shock along with everyone else who knew Kuwabara at his comment. Koenma then cleared his throat and caught the attention of everyone.
"Wouldn't the students still get nerves?" Koenma asked. Dumbledore nodded. That was when I came up with an idea.
"Have everyone walk around in groups! No one can walk alone. Each person must be as fast as every in each group and just as strong. No one will really be able to say anything about that," I said. Dumbledore nodded along with Kuroune and mostly everyone else but Lupin.
"But, they would wonder why," he said. I sighed and began to think of something else. Silence filled the room for awhile. After a minute I became feed up with the spies that were hiding so I decided to call out to them. (Hiei: What spies?) (KH: I'll explain later.)
"COME OUT YOU GUYS!" I snapped loudly. Everyone turned to me. But nothing moved.
"What was that for Kurama?" Yusuke asked. I turned toward the door and watched out of the corner of my eyes as everyone followed my gaze. That was when Hermione, Ron and Harry stepped into the doorway.
"How did you know?" Ron asked me. I frowned and turned away.
"What do we do now professor?" I asked Dumbledore. He said nothing. Everyone waited and waited.
"I am not so sure that we can do what you said before now. I think you all might have to be locked up. We can erase everyone's memory of this. It would be easier. I am sorry, either we kick you out or throw you in the dungeons," Dumbledore said with a long sigh. I frowned and looked down at the ground. 'He is right. He will have to do that.' I thought with a loud sigh.
Shadow's POV
"Good work. But we want them to stay in the castle and have free roam. Attack with some of the students now. If they believe that anyone can attack it will be easier," said my master. I nodded and turned to the wizard fool. I could tell he was about to say something stupid.
"But I thought you wanted the demons out of the castle," he said. I sighed at the fact that I was right. My master also sighed.
"Voldemort, I want them out, but I need them to last till Christmas. See they play a big role then and I need them to do it. SO let them stay in the castle. We will also slow on the killings. They will stay in that school, even I have to lock down the entire school myself!" my master shouted. I smiled and turned to Voldemort once more. He was shaking in fear. I smiled and almost laughed but stopped when I sensed someone watching me. It was my master.
"May I do anything else my master?" I asked worriedly. He nodded.
"GET GOING!" He shouted. Voldemort and I jumped high in the air and then turned to leave. "Don't fail me, or you will die."
I nodded and took off faster. Sometimes my master scared me. I had no idea why, but he just did. After sighing a few times I took off for the Hogwarts school...
Kurama's POV Next day...
"Kurama get up, we have classes," I heard. Moaning I opened my eyes and spotted Hiei standing above me. Blinking a few times, I found it wasn't a fake vision.
"Hiei?" I asked. He nodded and smiled slightly. I sat up and surveyed the room. Upon finding nothing, I turned back to Hiei. "Off to what class first?" I asked him. He looked at me.
"Breakfast?" he said questionably. I smiled and laughed at him.
"Ok then, the Great Hall!" I called. After a few minutes we headed in to the Great Hall. No one was there. I frowned and turned to Hiei. He turned to me. Neither of us knew what was going on. That was when we heard voices behind us and running footsteps. I turned along with Hiei to spot Yusuke and Kuwabara running our way.
"There you two are! We have been looking everywhere for you guys! Well, come on, there has been another... Well, you should just see it!" Yusuke said through gasps of breath. Hiei and I nodded and soon the four of us were running down hallway after hall way, in search of the sight. Right, left, right, straight, straight, left, right, straight, and soon on till we almost ran into some other students.
"OUT OF OUR WAY!" Kuwabara cried. The students moved and showed a girls body. I stared at it hard and then gasped. I knew who it was! I shook my head no along with Hiei. I couldn't believe who it was. Slowly Yukina came over to us.
"She isn't dead yet, but she is in a coma. I'm sorry," Yukina said. I looked at the body of my sister and was extremely close to tears. Hiei had already took off cause he didn't want people to know he was crying. On the other side of the opening stood Kuroune. He had tears rolling freely down his face. After a few minutes I watched as a student walked over to me. I looked up and saw that it was Hermione.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I was being controlled by something! I didn't want to attack her," she began but I turned and left. Quickly I ran through the halls, I ran and ran. Soon I ended out side. I looked around and saw the Forbidden Forest. Quickly I rushed inside and laid on a tree. Hiei was in a near by tree. We waited for the other to talk. I really didn't want to start a conversation about Yara. And I was guessing that neither did Hiei. Slowly I looked up and spotted Hiei on the same branch. He was a little farther ahead.
"So," he said. His face looked wet and his pockets bulged with small circles. I smiled slightly.
"Going to get rid of the evidence?" I asked jokingly. Hiei turned down to look at the pockets and smiled.
"No, I was going to save them to show..." he began but stopped. I knew he was going to say to show Yara what he did for her. I smiled.
"It's ok, you can say it. I'm just glad that she hasn't died yet," I said finally. Hiei nodded and turned to the castle. I followed his gaze up to the hospital wing. Slowly I felt my eyes dropped from the window and spun to look at Hiei. Clunk, clunk. I watched Hiei and spotted black tear gems were falling from his eyes and dropped to the ground. It hit a few branches on the way and made the clunking noise. I sighed and looked up to Hiei with tears glazing over my sight. (A/N: Oh, god I am crying over here!)
"Should we get back to the castle?" Hiei asked. I looked over and nodded yes. So we jumped out of the trees and headed up to the castle. Once there we found out that all Defense Against Dark Art classes were cancelled for the day. I sighed and headed over to Kuroune's office with Hiei, he wasn't there.
"There is no way I am going to the hospital wing yet," I said and headed off for my first class. Hiei didn't come right away and I couldn't blame him at all. After a minute we ended outside the door to our Transfiguration class. Dumbledore stood in the way.
"You two have the day off from school to calm down. Go were ever you like," Dumbledore told us. I smiled and nodded thanks and left. Hiei on the other hand grunted and disappeared. I began to guess were he took off to. I couldn't and soon gave up... I began to wander aimlessly around the school. After a minute, I came into view of Yusuke.
"Kurama, come to the hospital wing with me," Yusuke said. I looked up with sad green eyes and shook my head no. Yusuke sighed and began to walk away.
"Thanks Yusuke," I muttered as I began to walk away. Yusuke must have stopped and turned around because I heard him say your welcome silently. I smiled slightly and headed off again. After a few minutes I decided to go to the school library. Once I got there and saw the book filled room I didn't feel like reading. Slowly I walked out of the room and headed down a few different corridors. I had no idea where I was going but could tell I was heading somewhere. Down hallway after hallway, I walked. As I walked I began to remember things that I had done with... 'God, I can't even think of her name anymore. I hope she stays alright.' I thought silently as I just noticed that I had walked past the same statue three times. I watched as a small door appeared over the statue. I smiled and entered the room. Inside was a forest similar to the Makai forest home that I was so use to. I smiled and felt that Youko really wanted out
"Ok, calm down," I told myself as I closed my eyes and transformed...
YOUKO'S POV
Quickly I scanned the forest and took off. Nothing could stop me from roaming free in this place. Nothing at all. I smiled evilly and decided to head home. Well to my home in the Makai! I took off and soon found the old bush my family lived behind. I smiled again and moved it, only to enter in after ward. Once I had sat on the usual area of my bed, I heard voices outside.
"Voldemort get back here!" called one voice.
"No Shadow, Karasu may do what he wants but I want them gone!" cried the second who I guessed was this Voldemort character. I growled at the name Karasu and wondered why Karasu would want to talk to a wizard and a guy named 'Shadow.'
"Master Karasu needs the demons in Hogwarts. They need to be able to release him and then test his new found strength. If they aren't there to show how strong he is, do you think people would be afraid of him?" asked Shadow.
"I guess not but I want that Potter boy! I want to kill him for what he did to me! For eleven years I had to hide because of that stupid child! And now look at where it got me! Potter needs to die, or I will have to," Voldemort said. I frowned and moved closer to the entrance of my home.
"Listen, we shouldn't talk about this here. Who knows who could be working as spies for Koenma. Koenma can then tell the demons at the school and all will be lost," Shadow snapped uneasily. I smiled and wondered if he knew that I was listening in on their conversation.
"I don't care about Karasu. All I care about is killing Harry Potter!" Voldemort cried out. I heard the two leave and slowly walked out of my home. 'So they are working with Karasu,' called Shuuichi. I nodded and imaged the field of roses. Shuuichi stood there waiting.
"So, Shadow was possessing Yara and Hiei. Voldemort was the wizard that put the spell on Kuroune and Hermione. Simple enough, no?" I asked to Shuuichi. He nodded to me.
"But why would Karasu want to do this?" Shuuichi asked. I frowned and thought about it. That was when I remembered.
"Every four years at Christmas a demon was invited to a wizarding school. If the demon's enemy had been killed and was still dead, then he would arise once again. If the enemy was alive, then it would become stronger," I said. Shuuichi looked up surprised.
"But, why would a demon fulfill this prophase? " Shuuichi asked. I nodded and thought about it.
"I don't know. No one ever lived through the process afterward. They were killed by their enemy and they never ever want to tell anyone what exactly happened," I explained. Shuuichi nodded and looked away.
"KITSUNE WERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" called a voice. I spun on my heals and looked all around. Shuuichi did the same. After a minute I found it was someone intruding on our mind. I smiled. 'I am in the Makai why?' I thought. I heard a growl in my head. "COME BACK." commanded the voice. By now I knew it was Hiei. "Something is wrong with Yara." he called silently. I gasped along with Shuuichi. Quickly we repelled each other and I took off through the Makai to find a portal. Quickly I ran though and ended up back in the hallway before. I smiled and turned. I looked at the statue again and decided to scratch a certain part, just so I could come back again. Quickly I rushed through the hallways to the hospital wing. Once there I entered.
"What is wrong?" I asked. Hiei looked up to me worried...

KH: All done here. Hope you like. Oh and I must ask, is it ok if I kill off Yara?
Hiei: NO!

Kuroune: That is my girlfriend!
Hiei: She is mine dead boy!
Kuroune: So what, you just can't kill off Yara!
KH: I don't know, I just don't think she goes well in this story. Well please review and tell me your answer to wither Yara lives or dies! Thanks Bye!
