Chapter twenty-one: The Lying Reality!

Hiei's POV

"SHOW ME WHERE THE BODY OF HIEI IS!" Karasu screamed once Kurama blacked out. I growled angrily at first but slowly turned to face Karasu. Close to telling the truth, I found a lie hidden deep in my mind.

"I have no idea where Hiei landed," I lied in hopes that he would believe me. His eyes darkened in anger. A frown appeared on my face. Crap, he truly knows. It must have been what Kurama was trying to tell me before Karasu shocked him.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?" Karasu suddenly screamed. I jumped slightly along with Hermione but that was when I felt another presence behind me. Sighing, I looked over to the demon. It was the right hand man I had seen earlier.

"I wanted to tell you that the slaves are trying to fight the forest creatures in hopes of escaping," the demon said in a cowardly voice. Karasu growled and nodded.

"I'll be right there. Collect as many demons as you can to stop them," Karasu said as he turned his back on the demon, Hermione, and myself. With that, the other demon took off. "I wonder if you think I believe you are lying to me Joe."

"Sir?" I asked trying hard to play my part. Hermione again went to move, so I kicked her in the side. "Stop it," I growled darkly at her. My eyes even darkened, it seemed to scare her.

"About the Hiei thing. According to what I have seen from the humans and from Hiei's friend and my pet, Hiei is dead. So, Joe, while I am gone. Please put that little wench with the other humans in the cage," Karasu called as he tossed something at me. Quickly catching it, I found a golden key. When I looked up, Karasu was walking over to me.

"What should I do after? Come help you my lord? Namely in hopes of getting attacked and possible injured enough for the other humans to believe my lie?" I asked. Karasu looked over to me and stopped inches before Hermione.

"No. Stay here and make sure none of the humans sneak in," Karasu growled before going to leave.

"But sir! Then they would never believe me!" I cried, really getting into my part. It surprised me how easy it was to act this way. But at this point it didn't matter.

"Your right. I'll go get the next demon I see to take your place when you are done," Karasu said as he walked out the door and into the hall. I waited a few more minutes before untying Hermione.

"Why didn't you just stay in control here?" Hermione asked angrily as she got off the floor. I was already heading to the cages.

"Cause, Karasu would have known I was lying. Now, you guys are all going to have to pummel me to make it seem as though the others came in to save you guys, and caught me by surprise," I called as I opened the cage door. Lupin was the first one out and quickly turned to help Dumbledore. He was injured on the side. "I'll get Kurama, he can heal you guys later. And Hermione... Change the portal back. But open it for Kurama."

"What do you mean?" Hermione asked as she rushed over to help me get Kurama unchained.

"We have to make it seem like you guys lost trust in me and I have to earn it back. Other wise Karasu will know it was a trick. With me in his army, I can find out every plan he has against you. I then can find you in a secret area designed to be hard to find, and to allow only us through. Then I can tell you all the plans. It works like that," I said as I got Kurama's arms free. He dropped to the floor making me wince. Quickly handing the keys to Hermione, I turned around and watched as Sirius helped Snape come through the cage door. "Your going to have to hurry. You still have to beat me up, then make a really quick get a way!"

"We have no map to find all the demons with!" Lupin called. "Unless Hermione has one."

"No!" Hermione called as she released the last chain on Kurama's legs. Slowly the red head began to look up. I ignored it. "Hiei! We forgot a map!"

"I can tell you where all the demons are," I said as my Jagan began to glow. Hermione gasped lightly at the now shinning area on my bandana. "Can we proceed with the beating?"

"Sure," Sirius called with a huge smile on his face. I watched as he walked over and punch me square in the nose. Trying not to call out in pain, I gasped as I heard a crack. Sirius stopped. "Oh man. Didn't mean to hit that hard!"

"It's good, I need more," I grumbled as Sirius readied another blow. He got me right on the left cheek and sent me to the ground. "Good! MORE!" I snapped angrily as Hermione joined and kicked me hard in the back of the leg once I had gotten up. Falling back to the floor, I heard something. Looking over, I spotted some of the other kids from the Gryffindor house watching. Harry was among them. I was about to tell them it wasn't what it looked like when Sirius got a good wake into my gut. That'll leave a bruise. I thought as I looked back over to Harry. He seemed a little surprised but didn't say anything.

"May I join?" asked someone. I looked over and spotted Snape.

"The more the merrier. Come on, get some blood out," I growled darkly at him. Snape nodded and slapped me across the right cheek but let his nails drag along the skin, cutting it open. I smiled at the pain. Next thing I knew, the three had done enough damage for Karasu to believe that I was attacked. "Get out of here. Take the west wing to the third corridor and then down the right stairwell and up the North end. Follow that passage till you get to the house. I'll tell you telepathically if anything changes."

"You sure about that?" Hermione asked as she looked me over. I could only imagined what I looked like now.

"We've got a Marauders Map. No need for Hiei to use any telepathic energy," Harry suddenly called from the entrance to the Great Hall.

"HARRY!" Hermione called. Harry smiled as she rushed over.

"Listen, you have to go now! Karasu's other demon is coming to take my place!" I called anxious to get them all out. They nodded ok and went to leave. Hermione and Harry worked together in helping Kurama leave. Once they where gone, I dropped to the floor to make it seem as though I fell unconscious. Not even a minute later, the demon came in to relieve me of duty. What he saw was different. The cages empty, Kurama free, and me on the floor unconscious.

"What the!?" the demon said before rushing to my side and lifting me. "WHAT HAPPENED HERE?"

"They all ganged up on me," I replied really slowly. The demon growled and dropped me head first on the ground. I moaned in pain and watched as the demon turned to face me.

"You should have died," he snapped. I growled.

"They are only kids, they couldn't have killed me," I snapped angrily. The demon frowned. "I would have fought back, but I wanted to make it seem as though Karasu brainwashed me so they wouldn't think I was on your side, which I am. Sadly it didn't work. They know and I have lost the only way to kidnap them."

"Karasu will be angered," the demon growled.

"With me, or you? I believe it will be you, because you where slow in getting here. If you where earlier, this never would have happened. I mean, you could take on fifteen wizard kids at once, right?" I asked angered myself. The demon snorted and turned to leave. I jumped to my feet and followed. Next thing I knew we where outside watching Karasu stop the 'slaves' from fighting the forest creatures. It wasn't long before he spotted us. Upon being seen, he rushed over.

"What the hell are you doing out of the Great Hall!?" Karasu snapped angrily. The demon smiled slightly.

"This boy, has lost the prisoners. He says he was ambushed by them," the demon said waiting for Karasu to say something. Karasu slowly looked me over.

"And you where late for what reason?" Karasu asked when he spotted the nail marks that Snape had left on my skin. Then looked over my newly broken nose.

"I was running at top speed sir," the demon said in a fearful tone. Karasu caught onto the fear. He growled and held up a hand. Suddenly the demon burst into white flames and was devoured instantly.

"Weak fool. Couldn't even last longer than a second," Slowly Karasu turned to me. "I gather that you where still trying to keep your secret safe when they where beating you up."

"Yes sir. I was trying to make it seem as though you where so strong, you took over my body and forced me into taking the human female to you and act that way. It didn't truly work," I said in as sad a tone I could get. Watching Karasu, I saw him tilt his head slightly.

"Why are you eyes flickering red?" Karasu asked. I seemed surprised. Hermione! I called in thought. What I got was her shrieking slightly.

'Hiei? Is that you?' Hermione thought back.

'Yes it is! With the spell you did to change my hair color and eyes, was their a time limit?' I asked. Hermione gasped.

'There was! OH MY GOD! I am so sorry!' She thought back fearfully.

'It's ok... We can fix it later,' I called back and stopped the telepathic path to Hermione. "It must have been a curse one of the kids put on. I think they wanted to try and make me look like the one I am hiding out as. So I am turning into this Hiei character." I lied to Karasu. The demon nodded and looked back to the 'slaves.'

"GET BACK TO WORK!" He shouted at them. I watched silently as the 'slaves' rushed off to find their stations and get back to work. It was about then that I felt my hair perking back to it's normal spike. I growled and got a strange glance from Karasu.

"I don't like my hair spiked," I lied. Karasu nodded and turned away. I followed his gaze. There was nothing there.

"I wonder if you want to be my right hand demon. You seem to be smart," Karasu said. I smiled as though it was a great honor.

"I will gladly accept, if you want me my lord," I answer. Karasu looked over with a huge grin on his face.

"You will be seeing many harsh images. You may even have to kill for me. Oh and, I will want you to get me more children and recapture my pet," Karasu informed me. I nodded and looked out over the 'slaves.' They where all lower class demons who where two weak to do anything but follow orders and die.

"I can handle the images. Nothing can be as bad as watching a demon rape a human at a very young age. As for the killing, and capturing those creatures. It will be a snitch," I said with a huge smirk on my face. Karasu nods.

"Perfect..."

REAL WORLD... KURAMA'S POV

Hiei had gotten more injures. Madam Pomfrey was still treating the broken nose when five claw or nail marks appeared on Hiei's cheek. It was around then that the injuries stopped. Yara, Hermione, Harry, Ron, and I seemed to be the most fearful for Hiei's life. Kuroune admitted he didn't care what happened to Hiei. Ron was the first to have been riled by this. Ever since, the two hadn't talked. And if one looked like he was about to talk, the looked like he was readying to come up with an argument.

"Kuroune, Sirius, Lupin, and Snape, you all have a teaching job in this school?" Dumbledore suddenly called out, breaking the long silence since we had heard Hiei's nose break. The four nodded yes and slowly got up. Soon it was only Dumbledore, Harry, Hermione, Madam Pomfrey, Ron, Yara, and myself left in the hospital wing with Hiei. "Harry, Hermione, Ron. I believe you have classes that you were not excused from. Yara and Kurama where extremely close to Hiei so they are excused. You are not. Off to class!"

"Yes sir," the three said in unison before they took off trailed by Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey. Once they where gone, I looked to Yara. Her face was covered in fear. Slowly looking away, I faced Hiei. He looked horrible. It was around then that Botan came back from Spirit World, she had left before Hiei had gotten his new injuries.

"Hey! Oh my! What happened?" Botan asked when she spotted Hiei.

"He must have gotten attacked in his dream world. It's nothing right about now. Madam Pomfrey will be back with bandages," Yara said to her. I sighed and walked over to one of the windows. "So, what are you here for?"

"Oh! Koenma wanted to let you know that... Uh... That... I FORGOT!" Botan responded breaking into tears. I turned and watched Yara rushed over and began to comfort her. Sighing, which I have done a lot of lately, I turned back outside and watched as the Gryffindor quidditch team rushed out onto the field and began to practice. It had ended out that Hiei, Yara and I weren't allowed on the team because Harry put a huge disadvantage to the other teams and three more teens as good as them wouldn't help the matter at all. (A/N: Right now I can't find anywhere if I canceled quidditch games or not, so lets say I didn't.)

"How can you forget?" Yara asked. Botan shook her head.

"I have no idea. WHAT WAS IT?" she screamed. I cringed and watched as Harry looked over on the field. Being a seeker, gave him the right to watch the other players instead of a snitch for practices. He never can practice with the snitch. Every now and then Harry would stop the others to help them with a play.

"Oh yeah! Yusuke and Kuwabara are looking for a certain demon that can enter the minds of the sleeping. It will be back up for if Hiei can't wake up on his own after a certain amount of time," Botan cried. (A/N: If you are one of the few or many who read the other chapter, it won't be the same demon. Trust me.)

"LORD KARASU!"

!#$%&()

Ok, now you have to review and tell me which chapter you like the best. Or which one you read...

Kurama: Can't they read both and then say they only read one in a review?

They could. If they wanted to. Oh, and I was going through and found this really confusing at times, so I am making a new story. Well, three new ones. One with Hiei going to Hogwarts, one with Kurama going as a teacher, and one where Yusuke and Kuwabara go to Hogwarts without Kurama and Hiei.

Hiei: Why do a Yusuke and Kuwabara only story?

There aren't that many with just them going to Hogwarts, so I am going to put them in one. I have seen a few Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei. Many Kurama and Hiei. A few just Kurama and a few just Hiei. But not many, or none, with Yusuke and Kuwabara. So I think it is time to start one. Even though I totally hate Kuwabara. But, trust me. It will be a long time before any of them appear on FanFiction.net. Cause I want them done before I began posting so I can read them over and make sure they make sense! K? Good.
