Harry Potter was excited. He had spent the last six years learning how to speak Japanese. He spoke it quit fluently now, though he did have problems every now and then but it was okay, Keiko would help him. He looked at her smiling; she smiled back. Harry did as he was told and braced himself for landing in Japan.

Yusuke was furious. Keiko was taking her sweet little time. She had been going to this boarding school for six years now. He didn't like it. She could have gone to one closer. That way he could see her everyone in a while. Not to mention he hadn't had anyone help him with his homework! Course he hadn't done any for a year now. He was busy being a spirit detective. "Yusuke, I think I see her." Kuwabara yelled. Hiei was busy scowling at the blundering idiot to look for Keiko. And Kurama went to check to see what time her plane was suppose to land.

Yusuke looked in the direction Kuwabara was looking. "That's not her! She doesn't have that long of hair."

"Hey Yusuke do you think her friend is cute?" Kuwabara asked. Yusuke didn't know he just knew she was bringing a friend who was having family problems. Not to mention he wasn't interested.

Hiei suddenly snapped to attention looking at where a flight was just unloading. He saw Keiko and her friend then smirked. "I didn't know you swung that way Kuwabara."

"What are you talking about?" Kuwabara yelled.

Hiei nodded at Kurama when he walked up then said. "Well there is Keiko and her friend." He pointed them out. Then laughed when Kuwabara's jaw dropped. Keiko's friend wasn't a girl. Keiko's friend was a boy. He was as tall as Kurama Hiei noticed. His hair was as black as his own as well, Hiei saw it then a jagged scar the shape of a lightning bolt.

"I don't trust this guy," Kuwabara said. "He gives me the goose bumps." Hiei agreed there was a lot of power coming from Keiko's friend.

Harry looked nervously at a group of teens that just sat there and starred at them. Calm green eyes met his own. He trusted that guy. Or was it a girl. He smiled when he thought of Ginny. He was teenager reminded him of her, of all the Weasley's with his or her red hair. The short one with black hair was glaring at him. And the tallest with red hair - Harry smiled Fred and George had just had their hair cut almost that short - was gapping at him. "Keiko please do not tell me that those are the guy's that we are looking for." He pointed in the direction he didn't want to go.

"Actually Harry that is exactly who I was looking for. How did you know?" Keiko smiled. "Yusuke!"

The boy with slicked back black hair looked in their direction, smiled, and waved. Keiko walked over calmly although Harry knew she was happy to see her boyfriend again. He groaned lightly thinking about Ginny. "It is about time you got her Keiko, I was just getting ready to leave." The boy stated bluntly.

Harry chuckled softly when Keiko whacked the guy over the head. "It's nice to see you too Yusuke." She said roughly looking down at the pile on the floor. She turned back and smiled at Harry. "Harry I want you to meet Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei." Keiko pointed to each as she said their respective name, then pointing to the boy still on the ground - though now sitting up - and added. "And that pile of nothing is Yusuke."

"Hi, it's nice to meet you." Harry spoke not daring to meet eyes with the boy about a head shorter than him.

"It's nice to meet you too Harry." Kurama said smiling. "I'm afraid Keiko didn't tell us much about you. She just said that you were having some family problems."

"Yea," Harry rubbed his neck feeling embarrassed. "I live with my aunt, uncle, and cousin. They don't exactly like me. They actually think that I'm, well, that I'm a freak or something."

"Which he isn't, he is just as special as you Yusuke." Yusuke glared at her. He had finally gotten up off the ground.

"Whatever, let's get going. The boys and I have to meet up with Boton." Keiko nodded in understanding. They got their luggage and left. Not noticing as a boy with slicked back blond hair and his father stepped off a different plane.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~

Yusuke watched as Harry's eyes opened in excitement when he saw all the different sights. He didn't trust this boy, there was power radiating off of him. Power that he didn't trust. "So Harry you said you lived with you aunt and uncle. Why are you not living with your parents." Yusuke regretted trying to make discussion with this boy, and then regretted it even more when Keiko japed him in the ribs and Kurama shot him a glare.

Harry's eyes had filled with pain; Yusuke didn't miss the single tear that fell. He was stunned though when his eyes suddenly filled with hatred. "They were murdered when I was only one. He tried to kill me two but didn't succeed, but I have a remembrance of the night though." He pointed to his scar.

Hiei nodded. "He has tried to kill you several times since hasn't he?" Harry nodded. "But what is it about him that scared you? You have escaped him time and time again."

Harry was stunned, how did he know all this. "Yes, though I have barley escaped every time." Hiei nodded. Harry didn't trust this guy; there was just something about him.

Keiko glared at Hiei. "Kurama, how is your mother doing?"

Harry was thankful for the change of subject. Kurama shrugged. "I have kind of been avoiding her. Since the last fight, she has not exactly been wanting me to hang out with Yusuke, of course she can't stop me from hanging with Hiei." He chuckled softly. "You know how he just pops up."

Hiei smirked. "I do what I want, I wont let some ningen stop me." Harry was just about to ask why Hiei said no human could stop him but the car stopped and they all got out. Hiei and Kurama collected the luggage as Yusuke paid their transportation. Hedwig hoowed softly, she had finally woken up. "I just have one last question Harry, why do you have an howl in the cage?"

"Well she's my pet." Harry smiled. "Owls are smarter than birds." Harry looked around. Noticing the forest he grind.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~

Harry didn't have to wait long. The train ride plus the plane ride lasted all day. Everyone helped Keiko and him into there house then left. Harry pulled his Firebolt out of his trunk and opened the window. "Harry I almost forgot." Harry sighed as he turned to Keiko.

"Keiko, I was just going to go for a ride! Why did you have to come in now? Can't it wait for morning?"

"No, you have to be up early tomorrow morning, we are going shopping. So if you do go for a ride don't stay out to late." Shopping why shopping? Harry groaned then swung his legs out the window the slide down onto his Firebolt. "Good night Harry!"

"Good night Keiko!" He waved to her the zipped for the forest.

It felt great. He never was able to fly during the summer not unless he was visiting the Weasley's. Harry speed between the trees. This was great, he was a legal wizard, he could apperate, and he was miles away the Dursley's!

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~

Hiei was stunned. He hopped from tree to tree - following Keiko's new friend. He was flying on a broom! Harry suddenly stopped. He sat there and hovered for a moment. It was getting dark. The boy was probably having trouble seeing. Hiei didn't have that problem. He had his Jagan Eye to help him out. He watched the boy as he pull out a stick and whisper something that sounded like "Lumous!" What surprised him was that a small light came out of the stick. For once Hiei slipped up, for Hiei gasped.

Harry spun around; he saw a figure standing in a tree. "Who - Who are you? Show yourself!" Harry didn't trust this person. But they didn't answer. Harry rose to where the figure was standing but just as wand light hit this person they disappeared.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~

Hiei fled as soon as the light hit him. He didn't like this that human was flying! He decided he had to talk to someone. Hiei jumped from tree to tree then when he hit the edge for the forest he looked behind him; he wasn't being followed. Hiei jumped from the tree then ran. He had to talk someone; and that someone was Kurama.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~

"What?" Kurama asked groggily. Someone was shaking him. He didn't want to wake up, he wanted to bask in the beautiful field.

"Wake up Kurama! I need to talk to you now!" Kurama recognized that voice, but no, Hiei never is this urgent. "Kurama wake up now!"

So it was Hiei only he would be that rude and demanding. "What Hiei?" Kurama slowly sat up then looked at Hiei's worried face with sleepy eyes. Wait! Hiei doesn't get worried! Kurama snapped alert. "What's wrong Hiei?"

"That friend of Keiko's you know Harry." Kurama nodded. "Well I saw him in the forest. I mean you would to if you saw something like that. I mean I thought only Boton could -"

"Just spit it out would you!" Kurama snapped.

Hiei realized he had been rambling. But who wouldn't if they saw what he had seen. "Hn. Impatient are we?" He decided to take up his attitude again; it would help him tell Kurama after all.

"Well you did wake me up!" Kurama almost yelled that one sentence.

"I didn't realize you enjoyed your beauty sleep so much."

"Hiei cut the crap and tell me what is going on!" Kurama wasn't really this impatient, it was just that he hadn't had any sleep that last few night and now when he had actually fallen asleep Hiei comes and wakes him up to ramble and then give him attitude.

Hiei realized that Kurama wasn't in a good mood might as well get it over with. "Harry was flying."

Kurama just stared. "What do you mean flying."

"I mean like Boton does, except he wasn't on an oar it looked more like a broom. But there is more. He was able to light a stick by saying a simple word.

"Hmmm. I don't know what to say Hiei. Maybe we should talk to Keiko tomorrow. I volunteered to go shopping with Harry and Keiko, you can come along it you would like."

"Hn. I don't think so. You can talk to her. I would prefer not to." Kurama nodded.

"Can I go to sleep now?"

"Sorry I forgot you need your beauty sleep." Before Kurama could retaliate, Hiei had left. Kurama slammed the window closed and growled; Hiei had some nerve sometimes. Kurama got back in bed and tried to go back to sleep.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~

Harry had looked for the person that had seen him. But couldn't find him anywhere. He looked at the clock. "One O'clock! Keiko's going to kill me!" He groaned then decided to go to bed. He would tell Keiko what happened tomorrow while they were shopping. He groaned again, shopping!

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~

"Harry how late where you out last night!" Keiko demanded sick of how sluggish Harry was acting. Harry told her the story about what happened the night before. "Hmmm. I'll have to talk to Hiei." Harry was about to ask why when Keiko spoke up again. "Come on, we have to get to Kurama's he's going shopping again.

"But Keiko it doesn't take that long to get there. We can just Apperate!" Harry complained.

"Yes, but who knows what muggles would be around." Then Keiko thought of it. "But we can apperate nearby. I know just the place."

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~

Hiei almost fell out of the tree when he heard a couple sudden pops. He looked down and there stood Keiko and her friend both putting sticks away. No, wands, that is what they're called. Yes, he was sure of it Keiko's mind wouldn't lie. He watched as they slowly made their way towards Kurama's house.
