Hikuya: Hey, how is everyone? I feel good. I feel HAPPY!!!!
Bob, my left hand squirrel: Lovely. She'll be bouncing off the walls for days.
Hikuya: Silence Bob!! They have no need for your untruthful…sayings!
Yusuke: Even if they're true?
Hikuya: Whips out a metal baseball bat anybody ELSE want to say something?
All: Shake heads
Hikuya: Gooood…..Now then. Who volunteers to do the disclaimer?
All but Yoh: Step backwards
Hikuya: YOH!! So good of you to volunteer. Now do the disclaimer.
Yoh: Sighs Fine. Hikuya don't own anything other than her OCs and the plot line. Can I go sleep now?
Hikuya: Yup! Enjoy the nap! Hey, wait, you show up in this chapter! Get back here!! chasing after Yoh
Chapter two: Meet the Friends
The week passed uneventfully. Yusuke skipped class, Kuwabara tried to beat Yusuke up and failed miserably, Kurama went to school and got chased by fangirls, and Hiei sat and slept in trees. Friday arrived without any major problems.
The four were walking down the street towards Hikoromaru's home when they heard a lot of shouting. They ran down the rest of the sidewalk and the gate automatically opened. They were running down the driveway, when something dove out of the sky like a bullet, aimed straight for them.
The object was coming so fast that they didn't have time to jump to the side, when the object came to a screeching halt two inches from them. The "object" was Kazeko, perched on a broomstick.
"Hello!!! Hiko's inside if you want him! But you'll hafta wait for a little bit, he's gotta take me to the train station first. I get to go back to school today! WHEEEE!!!" Kazeko informed them as she did little loop de loops in the air.
"Ya know, this is the first time I've ever seen anyone HAPPY to go back to school. It's kinda weird." Kuwabara stated. Kazeko just smiled.
"But Hogwarts isn't just ANY school; it's the best school to learn witchcraft and wizardry in the world!! And on the weekends we get to go to Hogsmeade!! Oh, they have the BEST stuff there! Zonko's Joke Shop, and Honeydukes has wonderful candy. And since there are so many ghosts at the castle, I can keep my shaman skills intact! Kinda, since everyone there can see the castle ghosts. But that's okay! I have one special class to help me train as a shaman. And I'm on my house Quidditch team! I got on my second year o' course. But just you wait! One day I'm gonna be representing the Japan Toyohashi Tengu's. I'll be the best Seeker the wizarding world has ever seen! Even better than Harry Potter!! Oh dear, I'm rambling again. I have to go pack up my broomstick! I have to take extra care since THIS is a Firebolt, one of the best brooms on the line! I just got it for my birthday in May. I was soooo HAPPY!!!! Right, off I go then!" And she zoomed back down the drive.
The boys stood there blinking for a minute or two, before slowly making their way down the drive. When they finally reached the front doorway there was clearly a flurry of activity. Kazeko was dragging a large rolling case out the door, followed closely by her brother who was holding a cage with a large white and black owl in it. He was yelling at her for riding her broom when she should have been packing it, and how she was going to miss the train. It was then he spotted the four onlookers.
"Eh heh….you kind of caught us at a bad time. Sorry things are such a mess, we were just about to leave. Kaze, where's Kree, you know you have to keep him with you at all times. It's for your own good." Hikoromaru said. Kazeko sighed and replied to her brother.
"Yes, I know where Kree is! He is up there! And if I simply MUST have him with me all the time, I'll call him down." She then raised two fingers to her lips and blew a strange whistle. A small blur flew down out of the sky and perched on her shoulder.
The blur turned out to be a small dragon. It was light purple with black fur on its' back. It was long and serpent like with four small feet showing claws. Folded on its' back were two small, leathery wings of the same color as the rest of its' body. The dragon draped around her neck like a scarf and eyed the strangers. The most interesting thing about this beast, was that its' eyes were the exact same endless black that its' mistress has. "Everyone, this is Kree, my familiar. He's a mix of east and west, much like I am. He can breathe fire too, isn't that neat?" She smiled happily. The boys blinked rapidly in response.
"How did you come across a dragon? I thought them all to be extinct." Kurama asked.
"No, that's just what it seems like. Once everyone started to hunt the dragons, they pretended to die out, but have really gone into hiding. There are dragons all around you, even if you can't see them. They don't show themselves to many people. I just know how to call them. It's a talent." She smiled proudly.
Once again there was some noise, only this time from behind them. They turned and there were three people coming up the drive. Kazeko waved and ran towards them, dropping her case as she went.
"Hey everybody!! You almost didn't make it in time to see me off!!" She shouted as she was quickly bombarded by the strange new comers.
"Didn't think you were going to leave without saying goodbye, did you?" A boy about her age asked. He had a little shorter than shoulder length hair, wooden sandals, and a pair of headphones situated behind his ears. Kazeko just grinned at him.
"Of course not, Yoh! I'd never leave without saying goodbye to my closest friends in the world! That would be rude of me!!" The only other girl in the group huffed in annoyance.
"I would simply have to come find you if you just left, and when I found you, it wouldn't be pretty." She stated simply. She had long blond hair, a red bandanna, wooden sandals, a knee length dress, and some prayer beads around her neck. The shortest in the group just shook his head and sighed.
"It won't be the same without you around here, you know. Who's gonna help us cheer on Yoh during his shaman fights? And it's just going to be so boring." This boy was about 4' 2" and also had blond hair. He was wearing a loose, hooded, striped long sleeve shirt, some shorts, and tennis shoes.
"Hey, don't worry Manta! I'll make sure to send you guys plenty of letters, and will try to keep an eye on things in the fights. I promise." Kazeko then remembered the four boys who had absolutely no clue what the flippin' ding dong she was rambling about. She twirled on the tip of one foot to face the Tantei.
"All right boys! To be quick, this is Yoh Asakura, his fiancé Anna Kyoyama. They're both shamans, only Anna is a special shaman, called an Itako. She can call spirits from anywhere, even heaven, which is pretty neat. Yoh can integrate with his spirit, Amidamaru, a 600 year old samurai ghost. Actually, he can integrate with any spirit really, but prefers Amidamaru. He is spiffyful. I like Amidamaru. And this is Manta Oyamada. He can just see spirits, but is a close friend of ours. They all go to Shinra Private Academy. I just hang out with them after they get out of school, and I'm actually around, which is only in the summer." She rambled yet again.
"She talks a lot, don't she?" Kuwabara said. The others nodded. Kazeko skipped back over, after giving all of her friends a hug. She grabbed the giant rolling case up again and nodded to her brother.
"Right then. I shall return shortly. It shouldn't take to long." Hikoromaru stated. He walked over to what looked like a fire place that was just put into the house for the heck of it, and took some strange looking powder out of it. He stepped into the fireplace, and dropped the powder while saying "Platform 9 and 3/4!". Flames appeared around him, and suddenly he was gone, along with the owl he had been holding. Kurama, who looked very confused, asked a very simple question.
"What was that?!" Kazeko smiled again as she stepped up to the fireplace, grabbing some powder herself while answering.
"It's just Floo Powder. It's much easier to use than a transportation spell, which I can't do yet, unfortunately. Bye!!" She yelled before repeating the same process as her brother. The three friends of Kazeko's turned and left, while the boys simply decided to wait for Hiko's return, which came about 10 minutes later.
"Sorry about that! Do come in now. My mother and other sister will be home soon, I'll introduce you then. Just, keep Hiei and Kurama towards the back, so they don't try to purify them. They're a little paranoid about demons I must warn you." He stated while walking back into the temple, house, thingamajig. Hiei and Kurama exchanged wary glances, before following their more mental capacity inhibited friends into the home of their new ally.
On the train….
"Hey guys! What's up?" Kazeko called into a compartment with three other people in it. They all smiled at her and dragged her onto the last open seat and shut the door. There was another girl and two guys.
"Kazeko!! It is SOOO good to see you again!!!" One girl squealed. She had ear length, very curly orange hair and bright blue eyes. She had a very thick Irish accent, which she tried to mask. You have met Jean Galeyard.
"Hey Jean, how was your summer? I missed you too! Now could you stop squeezing me? I can't breathe…" Kazeko gasped out, as she was starting to turn blue. Jean immediately released her and started to apologize. Kazeko waved it off, it didn't seem to faze her much. The other two tenants of the compartment started to laugh. Kazeko stuck her tongue out at them as their snickers started to die down.
"Anyway, my summer was fine. How about you Dex?" Kazeko asked of a fairly tall, slightly tubby boy with dark brown hair, and brown eyes. This is Dexter, aka Dex, O'hara.
"Hmm…..It was fine, especially since I got to go see the WORLD QUIDDITCH CUP!!!" He informed the group. Kazeko gasped as her eyes bugged out.
"No. Way. WHAT HAAAAPPEEEENED?!?!!?" she cried.
"Well, they were tied for the first part of the game, then the Chudley Cannons started to pull ahead. It was 50-30 when the snitch was sighted. Both seekers chased after it, but they lost it when the bludgers came their way. It was pretty much neck and neck the whole time, but the Cannon's seeker spotted the snitch and caught it after a 200 foot rise, then a 150 foot dive. The Cannon's won 320 to 110!!" Dex rambled off excitedly. Kazeko was leaning off of her chair, hanging on to every detail that he said.
"GO CANNON'S!!!! WOOT!!! But when I'm on the Tengu's, I'll be flying in the Quidditch cup, you just wait." Kazeko boasted.
"For some reason, I don't doubt that." The final person in the car said. The boy was about 5' 7-8", pretty skinny, with dirty blond hair and blue grey eyes. You can't really tell, they change. And this is Foster Covin, one of the beaters for the Ravenclaw team.
Together this group is one of the most intelligent, and most troublemaking, students in Hogwarts. They have all been inspired by the Weasley twins to make troublemaking an art, and they do it well.
"Well, it is true! I'm going to become a better seeker than Harry Potter EVER was!! Just you wait and see!" Kazeko declared. This has been her mantra ever since Kazeko was a small child. With that, the four friends discussed various events in the summer the rest of the time (some of which included younger siblings, small furry rodents, and various reptiles) ate the food that came on the cart, and changed into their Ravenclaw uniforms. The trip was uneventful and they soon came to their home away from home, Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Little was anyone aware, that the danger lurked close to this place, and many terrifying events would soon unfold, sending the Tantei into a world they have never seen before, or even dared to imagine….
Hikuya: How was THAT for a cliffhanger, eh?
Foster: Yup. I can see them hanging onto a cliff right now.
Hikuya: Bah…it isn't literal baka!!
Anna: I didn't make much of an appearance…that had BETTER change. I AM the future wife of the Shaman King after all.
Hikuya: n n;; Right Anna. Whatever you say….anyway, hope you liked it, please review, go read my other stories, blah, blah, blah, you know what to do. See you then!!
All: GOOD BYE!!!!
