Chapter seventeen: Karasu or Yara?

Hiei's POV

I walked with Kurama threw the hallways. It has been ten days after he had woken up from the hospital. Sighing deeply I turned to Kurama. He seemed to have something on his mind. Turning away, I heard someone take a breath. It was Kurama.

"You know, it is sort of funny. I get attention after fighting a fight I didn't want to fight." Kurama suddenly said. I almost face vaulted. 'What does he mean?' I thought.

"Your point?" I growled. He simply laughed.

"Just funny my young friend," he answered. I rolled my eyes and replied with a simple 'Hn' and turned away. "We can only hope." Kurama suddenly whispered. I turned to him and saw his eyes closed in deep thought. I growled and turned away, not wanted to interfere. But I did wonder what he meant by 'We can only hope.'

"Kurama! Hiei! There you are! The Gryffindors are having a party for someone's birthday! Come on!" called another Gryffindor. Kurama nodded and began to take off with the teen but noticed me not following.

"Coming?" Kurama asked I shook my head no and watched as he nodded and took off. Quickly I flitted to the library. Hermione was sitting there waiting for me already. For the past month or so Hermione has been teaching me as much as possible about humans.

"Your late," she muttered silently. I pushed my hair back so that it looked like Kurama's and put on an innocent look. Hermione laughed slightly at my strange impression of the fox and soon moved on. "Ok, today I am thinking of testing you on what you have learned on American History... Ready?"

"Sure... Wait, written or oral?" I asked. I didn't know how to write. Kurama was still teaching me how to do it in Japanese. He doesn't even know al of English yet so I have to wait.

"Oral I guess." Hermione answered. I nodded and waited for the first question. "When was World War I?"

"It began in 1914 but America only came in at year 1917 and it ended 1918."

"When did the War of 1812 end?"

"In 1814 but the last battle was in January of 1815."

"When was the Constitution signed?"

"1789."

"Name the first sixteen presidents in order.

"1- Washington. 2- John Adams. 3- Jefferson. 4- Madison. 5- Munroe. 6- John Quincy Adams. 7- Jackson. 8- Van Burien. 9- Harrison. 10- Tyler. 11- Polk. 12- Taylor. 13- Fillmore. 14- Pierce. 15- Buchanan. 16- Lincoln."

"How about.... Who was the President during World War one?"

"Wilson."

"That is it for now. You learn quick..." Hermione said. (A/N: This is from my memory so please don't get mad if I messed something up. I am not looking on the internet for these things...) I smiled slightly and nodded. I was about to respond when I heard someone. It was Harry and Ron. Looking to Hermione, I could tell she didn't like the way this was going. I was about to leave when Kurama waked in behind the two.

"So this is what you two do at night?" Kurama asked jokingly. I growled and went to storm away when Kurama grabbed my arm. "It's almost time." he whispered. By the time I had turned to question him, he was already talking to Hermione, Harry and Ron. I growled and walked over. Kurama was talking to Hermione about what she has taught me so far so that he can take over for the summer.

"Do you like making me the center of attention?" I asked the half fox. He turned to me and smiled. That was his only answer. I already wanted to kill him but this made it worse. Growling I wondered if I should bring up what he meant in front of...

"Yes I meant the curse," Kurama said threw the middle of his conversation with the three teens. I growled and went to leave when I realized what he meant.

"You mean Yara is coming back?" I asked quickly. Kurama nodded but then seemed to realize something.

"Either her or Karasu..." Kurama sighed. I frowned and watched Kurama. He had already gone back to the conversation with Harry, Hermione and Ron.

"So where is this going to take place?" Harry suddenly asked. This surprised Kurama to no end and he paused.

"I don't know... I guess someone has to tell me sooner or later," Kurama said with a smile. I snorted and walked out of the library with Ron, Hermione and Harry at me tail. Kurama was still standing at the tables thought he was waiting for one of us to come back. Once in the hallway Harry grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side with Ron and Hermione.

"Let me go," I growled. Harry shook his head no and turned to Hermione.

"We are going to wait for Kurama to leave and we need your help to go in to the restricted area of the library," Hermione said. I raised an eyebrow as I looked the three over.

"Why not ask for Sirius's or Lupin's help?" I asked. Ron snorted.

"No way! After what has happened to them, I think they have a few other things on their minds," Ron said. Looking back to the library entrance, I spotted Kurama walking out. Frowning, I felt Harry pull on my arm as him and Hermione began to follow the wall over to the entrance. Knowing that Kurama fox ears could possibly hear us, I pulled Harry back and put a finger to my lips. Harry looked at me with a confused face but once I pointed to my ears and mouthed good hearing he seemed to understand. Once Kurama was really gone did I let Harry drag me back into the library.

"Why go into the restricted area anyway? What do you want?" I asked after I found myself standing outside of a locked area. I really didn't want to go in.

"We want a book that can help explain the curse," Hermione said. I frowned.

"There wouldn't be a book in there that would. Wizards don't know of the demon world so they wouldn't know of the curse," I snapped. Hermione paled for a moment but soon got over it.

"Ok then... We don't have to go into the restricted area then..." Ron muttered from behind me. I frowned and took off at a walk. Harry, Hermione and Ron followed. 'It's almost time...' echoed into my head once more and I decided to find Kurama. In my search, I could tell Harry, Hermione, and Ron were following.

"Will you stop following?" I finally snapped when I spotted Kurama further down the hall talking to Koenma. I didn't want the others to see the toddler floating in mid air talking to Kurama.

"But... We uh... Wanted to uh... Talk to you?" Harry said as he looked at his friends. I frowned and wondered why they really where following.

"What about?" I growled.

"Uh....." Harry began.

"The curse!" Hermione offered. I frowned.

"Why do you want to know so much about it?" I asked.

"Cause we are involved in it," Ron offered as well. I growled.

"No..." I snapped.

"Please?" Hermione said. I frowned deeply and turned to face them for I had been watching Kurama and Koenma.

"You will see what happens sooner or later..." I snapped to them. Watching the three, I spotted their faces change to fear. "What?"

"Spying?" called a voice behind me. I spun quickly to see Kurama standing behind me.

"Kurama!" I squeaked in a extremely high pitched voice.

"So?" Kurama asked me. I shook my head no and then nodded it slightly to the three behind me and mouthed toddler. He nodded. "Sure..."

"Kurama!" I cried as he put a finger to my lips. I almost screamed in surprise.

"I know... In an hour... GH," Kurama said as he walked away. I frowned and spotted Harry, Hermione, and Ron give me a look.

"I'M HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW!" I shouted at them in hopes of getting them off my back. It worked. 'In an hour... GH...' echoed into my head. 'GH?' I wondered. 'GREAT HALL!' I thought with a small nod. Quickly I took off and lost the three stranglers in only a few minutes. It wasn't long before I had headed to the Great Hall to watch Kurama over. But then I spotted others heading to the Great Hall as well. 'SHIT! SUPPER!' I thought as I took off at a fast speed to try and get there first. Lucky for me Kurama and I were the only ones there.

"Finally!" Kurama growled. I frowned.

"You know it is supper time?" I asked him. He nodded. "Then why do it now?"

"Koenma said everyone in Hogwarts had to be here. Help me move the tables. Dumbledore knows about it so don't worry! He is waiting outside making sure everyone comes in at once," Kurama said as he pushed the Slytheran table into the wall where is disappeared. I nodded and kicked the other three tables into a wall. "Now we wait...."
