Chapter eighteen: Detailed Chapter...
Kurama's POV
I stood next to Hiei in the front of the Great Hall. We had moved the tables out of the way so that way there would be more room. I couldn't believe it was already time to get this thing moving. Sighing deeply I listened for the voices of the other students. They were all waiting outside wondering what was going on. I could hear their questions and their fear. It was funny... I was just as fearful as them even though I knew what was going on.
"You ready for this fox?" Hiei asked from beside me. I nodded after a large gulp. Sighing, I watched as the doors of the Great Hall opened. Slowly students began to filter into the room. Fear covered their faces as they slowly moved around the Hall in wonderment. They most likely never had seen the Great Hall this empty. Each kid was use to at least four or five tables covering most of the floor. Looking deep into the crowd, I spotted Harry with Hermione and Ron. The three were as amazed and scared as everyone else. After about a thousand kids had entered the Great Hall, the teachers entered. I could tell no one was behind them because the noise didn't seem to grow louder as they entered. Smiling slightly, I waited for them to close the doors. Once done I cleared my throat loudly. Everyone immediately quieted down and turned to face Hiei and me.
"Hello everyone..." I said. My voice was loud, stiff, and calm as it rang deeply threw the hall. It reminded me of Dumbledore's voice when he spoke out to everyone. All eyes where watching me in a mix of emotions. Ranging from fear to wonderment, each had their original gaze. "You are brought here not to eat or celebrate anything... Today is a curse!"
The silence was broken by a spread of whispers. I frowned as many thought I was lying. Many had waved a hand at me saying I was joking. Most didn't believe. Some did and they watched me with interest. Nodding I went on to continue when I spotted Snape glaring at me. Frowning deeply I turned to Dumbledore. His eyes where clouded over showing that he was trying to hid his feelings. Taking a deep breath I decided to continue anyway.
"I know most won't believe me... But it is true... A curse of Demons and Wizards!" I shouted over the hall. A few more people waved a hand to dismiss me. Quickly I looked to Kuroune for reinforcement but he was looking at the ground. Biting my lip, I felt someone elbow me. Looking over I spotted Hiei.
"Want me to try?" He asked me silently. I shook my head no.
"I need to do this myself... But thanks for the offer. I know now I have someone on my side," I answered with a smile. Hiei nodded and faced back to the student body of Hogwarts. Taking another breath I looked out to the ground again. There was only about ten or twenty of the thousand watching me. "Believing me does not matter here! It is the truth and it will happen. This curse involves us all. Some more than others!" I called as I raised my hand up to Hermione. She understood and walked forward up to my other side. Harry and Ron moved to the front.
"Whether or not you are important does not matter! We are here together, to get through!" Hermione cried out. I nodded my head.
"This year has been hard... With murders of friends, possibly family," I said as a frog got caught in my throat. But an image of Yara's face full of life and joy urged me on. "We need to stand together to fight the curse of good and evil. I am here to open a portal to the Spirit World. There two forces will crash to come to this world!"
More whispers rang threw the hall. 'Inaru give me strength...' I thought as I watched the crowd. Suddenly Harry stepped forward and faced the crowd. Everyone quickly silenced for the boy-who-lived.
"Kurama is telling the truth! Every four years there is a curse that takes place!" Harry cried. I sighed and wondered how he knew. But then I saw it. Koenma standing behind the boy. 'Koenma?' I thought. The toddler turned with Harry and winked. 'He is controlling Harry so that people will believe me and give me support!' I thought with a smile. "The curse has a demon or two selected to go to a random wizard school. It chooses which is best for the curse and then choose the Evil and Good from Spirit World. Kurama is the demon!"
"I knew there was something freaky about him!" Draco called from the crowd. I frowned along with Hiei.
"Say that again and I will torch your body to hell!" Hiei snapped from beside me as he called upon a fireball. Calmly I reached over and lowered his hand. He watched me with an angry frown but when I mouthed that enough blood has been shed, he stopped. Nodding quickly I turned to Harry/Koenma. Harry was watching me with a frown. Koenma was nowhere to be seen.
"I have a strong enemy in Spirit World... His name if Karasu. He is pretty strong on his own but if he gets threw... He will be twice the strength and there will be nothing we can do that can stop him from destroying the world. But I do have a loved one in Spirit World as well... You all have met her... Yara... If she comes threw than the world will be safe for until the curse comes back... I need your help in cheering for Yara! For she can easily get lost in the portal while Karasu knows where to go... Evil is born with the knowledge... Good is not... Because most aren't power hungry. So, who will help me?" I called. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Hiei, Kuroune, Sirius and Lupin where the only ones to raise their hands at first. I frowned at the small amount but waited. Sadly no one else raised their hands. "Please! It is either the world is destroyed or my sister!"
"Why should we believe you? What have you done for us?" called a Slytheran second year.
"WE ARE TRYING TO SAVE YOUR BLOODY LIFE!!!!!!!!!" Hiei screamed as he stepped forward. I frowned at his anger but let him go. He should have a chance to change their minds. "Look, if you don't call out to Yara then Karasu will get through! If Karasu gets threw... The world we be destroyed! DON'T YOU GET IT! THIS IS YOUR LIVES! YOUR FAMILY'S LIVES! EVERYONE YOU HAVE EVER KNOWN WILL DIE!!!!!!!!!!!"
"There is only one person with such a power! That is He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!" called a Ravenclaw third year.
"That guy? Voldemort you mean? I AM FIVE TIMES THE POWER OF THAT FOOL!" Hiei screamed at the Ravenclaw.
"YOU-KNOW-WHO IS STRONGER THAN YOU! SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES THEY ARE STRONGER THAN HIM IS A FOOL!" called a Hufflepuff in their seventh year from the back of the hall. Hiei growled and I sighed.
"Some one who does not trust me is truly a fool," Hiei growled deeply as his energy rose greatly. I frowned and stepped up before anything could happen.
"Voldemort is only a human... He is already at his limit of power while we demons are not. Both Hiei and I are A class demons. You are all the lowest class with Voldemort a little higher than you. But you must pass C class, B class, and A class to reach the highest... S class. Anyway, who will help?" I asked again. This time about ten more hands where raised. Sighing I looked slowly to the ground.
"WHAT ARE YOU FOOLS!?" Hiei screamed with Ron and Harry. I looked up in surprise.
"THEY COME HERE TELLING US THAT WE HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE SURE THE WORLD DOESN'T GET DESTROYED YET YOU ALL INGONORE IT? I know most of you want to be famous... But trust me... This will make you famous if you help! I promise a section of the school put up to say thanks to all who cry out for Kurama's sister Yara," Harry cried out to threw the hall. "Who will help now?"
At this point mostly all hands where raised. Only the Slytherans didn't have their hands raised. It was pretty interesting on how they all banded together in time of need... NOT! They only did it for fame... Oh well... Just as long as they help. With a nod I decided to get the portal open... Closing my eyes, I thought of what Koenma told me to say. But before I could really think about I began to say something.
"Et car men et tu na kem lat tera!" I cried. Taking in a large gulp of air, I began the second half. "Et ca toe me ka ha tera kel na rim te na hite lamana ne ka tare se ka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
In the middle of the room appeared a large black like hole. I repeated the saying again and prayed it would work. As the hole got large I noticed it seemed to be a dark hallway somewhere in Spirit World. When I closed my eyes I saw it. My head filled with a vision of running backward threw the portal, seeing pictures hanging off the sides like the side was a wall. Turning a corner, I found doors with names plates on them. I tried to read them but ran by to quickly. Rounding another corner I saw a light at the end with two people waiting. One was a dark figure with violet eyes. He seemed fatter but as I neared him his fat seemed to melt away and his power increase. Next to him was the most prettiest sight in the world. There stood a figure with shining black hair and brown eyes. She was definitely a hell of a lot thinner, if possible, than she had been the last time I saw her. A small light seemed to bounce off her body and I knew who they where. Karasu and Yara, each waiting for their time to run. I knew I was the signal to them but still I couldn't find myself to do anything. But after a moment I found they saw me. Each took off and I opened my eyes.
"Yara!!!!!!!!!" Hiei screamed from my side the second my eyes opened. Many where joining in on his screams as the crowd waited for someone to appear.
"THEY ARE COMING!" I cried over the Great Hall. New voices arose in the depths to call upon Yara. I smiled and turned to the portal. It had changed.
A light pink surrounded the outside as though to hold it in the same spot. The middle was a deep, deep brown outlined in violet, standing for the two who where trying to return. Around the violet laid a dark green which turned to a lighter green then later to yellow. Color blots like black, red, yellow, orange, ivory gray, forest green, and sky blue littered the yellow outside. It stood for all who called out to Yara. I had also noticed some white which I knew was one of the teachers cause the duller the color, the older the person was. But I noticed Hiei's had been a deep black meaning he wasn't that old. My color was the outlining pink and green.
In the portal, some colors had formed shapes. For example, Hiei's black was easy to pick out cause it was in constant motion and was a dragon. Lupin's was a sky blue werewolf and Sirius's was a light green bear like dog. Harry had a bright red phoenix similar to Yusuke's Spirit phoenix while Ron had a brown otter/lizard thing. Hermione had a dark orange owl.
"Yara!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON!" Hiei screamed from my side. It was only a second or two later that I realized I wasn't shouting with everyone else. Quickly I began to shout my sister's name. That was about all I could do. But I guess Hiei thought that getting closer might help because before I knew it, he was sitting right at the edge of the portal screaming Yara's name at the top of his lungs. I smiled and quickly joined him.
"Yara! HURRY UP!" called a nearby Slytheran with pride. My smile deepened.
"Yara! COME ON GIRL!" called a Hufflepuff.
"Yara! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" screamed Draco from his corner in the room.
"Yara! Your brother is waiting!" yelled Dumbledore from the front hall.
"Yara! COME BACK TO THE LIVING!" Shouted Harry, Ron and Hermione all at once. Different voices began to combine and yell the same thing.
"Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara! Yara!" Everyone chanted together. It was only minutes after that a figure appeared at the last turn. It was Karasu, but Yara was only a second behind and seemed to be catching up.
"COME ON GIRL!" Screamed the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs at the same time. The Gryffindors had shouted 'COME ON Yara!' It was totally different from what the Slytherans said. They repeated Draco's version. 'GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!' When suddenly... Karasu and Yara stopped. I knew Yara saw the exit so I stopped shouting and soon everyone died off. But their colors still shone brightly in the portal.
"I think we may have a problem," Karasu called as he looked back at Yara. She smirked as her image began to flash from her human to demon form.
"Why go back Karasu? NO one is there for you," Yara called back. The two looked as though they where shouting and I realized how loud it must be in there. With our colored voices still ringing in the portal, it must be loud.
"I have people out there truly voting for me to come out," Karasu said as he shifted his gaze over to Draco and his goons. When I looked the three acted as though Karasu didn't know what he was saying. I frowned but turned back in time to see Yara finish muttering something. "What?"
"Nothing you fat bastard!" Yara called back. This got Karasu started and he lunged forward after Yara. In a matter of seconds, Karasu had reached her but Yara dodged the attack he had in store, just in time. But sadly she didn't she Karasu's leg come up and hit her side. She gasped in both pain and surprise that Karasu had done such a thing and that he had so much strength. It took her a minute to get over it but once she did, she was ready. Sadly, so was Karasu.
"Yara," I whispered lightly. She was busy fighting and hadn't heard me. I was sort of glad she hadn't, it might have lost her... Uh... Not life, but... Afterlife?
"GIVE UP!" Karasu screamed at Yara as he grabbed at her arm but only got her shirt. He growled in distaste and soon noticed something in my direction. It took me a second to figure out what it was. The portal had a time limit and it had just reached the limit and was closing. Karasu or Yara only had about ten seconds left. He rushed over with Yara at his back. Lucky for her, his hair was in reach. Pulling hard, Yara was able to rush forward but Karasu grabbed her wrist and whip-lashed himself back in front. I cried out in surprise to get Yara to run faster but... She couldn't. Then I got an idea.
"LOOK! A SHORTCUT!" I screamed while praying that Yara won't go for it. Karasu looked and slowed but Yara had looked as well. Luckily she didn't slow but she did plow right into Karasu and the two tumbled just below the portal. But just as it was about to close a flash of light came out to blind me before I spotted a hand of one of the two coming out. I wasn't able to see who it was because I had to turn away and after which there was a huge wind gust that sent me flying backward into a wall. Just before I blacked out I heard a window crash...
!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*
Oh, that is one evil cliffy.... O well! Sorry for the late update but I was waiting for someone to respond about something in one of my other stories. I also refuse to post on one story and not the others so you had to wait till I got the two chapters for Hiei Human done. Again sorry for the long wait, but blame it on an added character.... He/she didn't respond in time...
