Kurama took the chance once he saw it. Harry was changing so he would speak to Keiko now. "Keiko can I speak with you?"

Keiko looked puzzled, at first glance, but then she seemed to realize something. "Hiei spoke to you didn't he."

It wasn't a question it was a statement. That threw Kurama off. "Yea, how did you know?"

"Because Harry mentioned something happening last night when he decided to go out and practice. He has try outs soon." Keiko smiled. "He wanted to try out for Chuddley Cannons, but their seeker isn't retiring yet. And since the Gambling Gremlin's Seeker is retiring after this season, Harry is going to try out. Personally I think he will make it."

"Keiko what are you talking about?" Kurama had let her ramble but he was lost.

Keiko blushed. "Sorry I just kind of - Harry you look great!" Keiko was glade Harry picked that time to come out of the dressing room.

"Thanks the pocket's are big enough too." Harry smiled then reached into his pocket. [That must be where that stick Hiei was talking about is.]

//Of course it is you fool. I also figured out it is a wand, not just a ordinary stick.\\

Kurama gasped. //What? How did you find that out?\\

//Hn. Keiko is an open book.\\ Kurama smiled at Hiei's gall. Yusuke would attempt to tarnish Hiei for that remark.

Keiko hadn't said anymore that day, but he knew something was going on, but it took until they started back to his house then he gained more questions. "Potter, what are you doing here?" A voice sneered from behind him. "I thought you spent enough time with the other mudblood, and that muggle- lover now you've followed this one home." Someone chuckled.

"Shove off Malfoy." Kurama could feel power radiating off Harry as he growled through his teeth. "Or you might regret bothering me at all."

"Threatening me I see. Well we will just see who is better. Just wait until I start playing for the Gambling Gremlins as their new seeker." He sneered.

"We will just see about that." Keiko said. Kurama took a double take, Keiko was getting mad!

"Shut up mudblood."

"Let's take this somewhere where I can deal with you." Harry stated. "Meet me in that forest, at midnight." Harry pointed towards the forest behind Kurama's house.

"Fine Potter I guess it is best to get you out of my way sooner or later." Malfoy was gone with a pop. Kurama could feel the remnants of his energy dissipating.

"Keiko," Keiko turned suddenly as if she just realized he was still there.

"Yea?"

"You have some explaining to do."

"I don't like it, I don't want * him * to try out for the team too!" Harry was still fuming. Keiko had told Kurama to call Yusuke and the gang. But he couldn't seem to forget what Malfoy said. So he sat there and yelled while they waited for Yusuke and Kuwabara to show up, Hiei had been waiting in Kurama's room and was not happy when he came home with Harry and Keiko.

"Harry, calm down. You are much better than him. Not to mention you have a Firebolt, he only has a Nimbus Two thousand and one." Harry nodded at this comment.

Kurama answered the door. He was still very lost. Hiei on the other hand. Was following quit well. He understood what Keiko was saying using simple mind tricks.

"Okay, we're here what is all of this about?" Yusuke said as soon as he plopped down on the bed next to Keiko while Kuwabara stood next to the door and Kurama leaned up against the wall next to the window where Hiei was perched.

"Alright please try to believe us." Keiko said slowly. She didn't want to tell them this but turns out she didn't have too.

"Yusuke, Lord Koenma needs you now." Hiei jumped from the windowsill before Harry could blink and was standing next to him yelling at Boton for sneaking up on him like that.

"But Boton this is the worse time!" Yusuke yelled at Boton as she hovered on her Oar outside Kurama's window.

"Sorry I just am here to get you. There is a stray demon in the forest. Koenma wanted to tell you what to except but knowing you. You will probably just jump in head first huh?" Boton seemed annoyed - then she saw Harry. "Oh, sorry, I didn't know you had company."

"It's okay Boton. I don't think any of this will really be all that new to Harry." Keiko said smiling. "Actually Him and I have to run off we have to prepare for his duel tonight."

"What do you mean we?" Harry said defensively just as Yusuke questioned, "What do you mean duel?"

"I mean we, because Harry I'm going to be your second." Keiko said matter- of-factly.

Harry tried to have a staring contest with her - or so it appeared - then finally sighed. "Fine you can be my second. But it's not my fault of you get hurt!"

"I'm coming if Keiko's in danger." Yusuke spoke quickly.

"But you'll have no way of protecting yourself."

"I can protect myself just fine." Yusuke growled.

"This is all fun and all but Yusuke, you have a job to do." Boton said from the window.

"Right, let's go guys." The boys left, Hiei through the window the rest going downstairs to use the back door.

"Well let's go and wait for them at my house shall we." Keiko said as if this was normal, Harry shrugged, he couldn't find anything wrong with it. With that they apperated back to Keiko's for dinner.

"I don't understand, Boton said this demon was in the middle of the forest." Yusuke said.

"Demon's move, you didn't expect him to sit her twiddling his thumbs waiting for you to show and pretend you are going beat him up when in the end it will be I that does the slaying." Hiei retorted as if the answer was simple and Yusuke was to thick headed to figure it out.

"No, but I thought he would be around here!"

"Urameshi, I think I know where it is headed." Kuwabara said softly.

"Where?" Yusuke yelled over Hiei, "I didn't know you had the ability to think."

"He is headed that way." Kuwabara pointed. Yusuke started running top speed. He had to get there; he couldn't let that demon hurt Keiko.

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

Harry decided he wanted to go outside and rest. He had free rain. And after sixteen years, of being trapped and enslaved it felt good. To have an entire three months to himself. Keiko fallowed him out. She needed something to do. Harry saw something in the sky, he smiled Ron did say he was going to owl him. "Hey Keiko I think that is Pig. What do you think?"

Keiko blocked out the sun and looked up at it. "I think you're right." Harry got ready to catch Pig; the owl was just out of reach, Harry reached out to snatch it just as fire came in contact with his hand.

"What the crap?" Harry asked as he nursed his hand. It the fire had burnt it but not badly. Harry looked in the direction of which the flame had come from. He pulled out his wand.

"Harry what do you plan on doing?" Keiko asked looking at his wand.

"Stunning it what else do you expect me to do?" Harry shouted back.

"Let me help." Keiko said. She pulled out her wand as well. Then together they shouted, "Stupify!" The creature stumbled a bit then fell. Harry approached it, wand out. "Harry be careful." Keiko yelled, Harry didn't know how to deal with demons and this was a fire one, he could easily be hurt.

"I know what I'm doing Keiko." Harry said not taking his eyes off what was lying on the ground. The creature's skin was green; and it had three horns protruding from its head. And it looked like it had fangs. Harry didn't trust it. Harry was about to kick it when he heard something yelling.

"Harry get away! Don't go near it!" Yusuke yelled he was waving franticly. Harry was confused but the moment he looked up. The thing grabbed his ankle. It seemed as if it was having a hard time though. Yusuke had never seen any demon act as if it was half asleep. What was going on?

"Harry!" Keiko yelled. She had to think quickly. She couldn't figure out what to do. What spell would help Harry? She decided just to try and get it unconscious. "Stupify!" She yelled for the second time. The spell hit the demon right in the chest, the demon staggered, it dropped Harry, and then finally it fell to the ground. "Harry are you all right?" Keiko asked right away.

"Yea, just like when we were first years, remember when the troll was going after you and Hermione? All you had to do was think fast." Keiko remembered. She didn't like Hermione until not long after that night. But she didn't like what Ron had said to her. So she had taken Hermione dinner that was when they heard the troll. It had obviously followed the smell of the food, and didn't like the fact that someone was competition. Ron got knocked out quit quickly and that left her and Harry to fight it off while it chased after Hermione. She shivered, she didn't like the idea of that.

"Keiko what did you do to it." Yusuke asked, he looked at the two both holding their wands. Keiko's knuckles where white she was gripping her's to hard.

"Well remember how I have been going to that school in England."

"Yea," Yusuke didn't know where this was going.

"Well, it is for witches and wizards. Yusuke, I'm a witch."
