LL A.K.: Hello, everybody!
Falcon: What up?
LL A.K.: The special thank you's because we are incapable of checking our email, that's 'what up!'
: I greatly appreciate your report, mysterious one! The fic, 'Voodoo Magic' did leech a ridiculous amount of stuff from my first and I think second chapter. But it's gone now.
Rogueicephoenix: HI! Thanks for reviewing again! I was gonna ask if I could be on your C2, but I looked at it, and I was already there! So, to show my appreciation, I put YSUtS and Trick Questions on mine! I'll put more stuff on it later.
Wind Kitty: I read your YYHHP! Too cool, so you better update soon! (Please ignore the Botan/Hiei pleas, though, I find it strange) Read chapter four, too! Can I put you on my C2, since I know how to operate it (somewhat)?
Falcon: Now, a snippet from 'Just Lose It'!
LL A.K.: (turns music on and starts singing) Excuse me miss, I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I'm feeling a just a little stressed out from work, could you punch me in the stomach and pull my hair? Spit on me, maybe gouge my eyes out?
Falcon: Yeah!
LL A.K.: Hooray! Chapter five! (Cheers in background) Pardon us, we feel like singing!
Falcon: The world shall rejoice, for we rock!
LL A.K.: What she said!
Falcon: We don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, or Harry Potter, but we are willing to become part-time assassins for the ownership of Asato, Hagiri, and Remus Lupin.

Harry was walking down the stairs that led to and from Gryffindor Tower, wondering where Ron and Hermione could possibly run off to, and didn't tell him. He ignored the fact that the transfers were gone, but that was to be expected, they hadn't been snooping through the school for the last five years and currently working on this year. They had a lot of catching up to do, so they may have been at the library (though with Asato's yelling and Yana's wisecracks, they would be kicked out in a matter of seconds). However, as long as Ron was with Hermione alone, he couldn't get away with anything, but he should at least track them down.
He entered the Great Hall, knowing that since it was after breakfast, several students would be in there doing homework with friends who weren't in the same houses, talking about projects that had already been assigned. Of course, there were a few playing wizard's chess, including Ron, being watched by Hermione, Asato, Yana, Mitarai, and even a slightly interested Hagiri. He strained to see who Ron was playing, but gave up and walked right up to them. He saw that it was none other than the Ravenclaw transfer, Harry couldn't remember his name.
"Hey guys." Harry said, but was immediately met by Ron's 'shh!'
"I'm trying to concentrate." Ron hissed. Harry couldn't help but grin slightly.
"Ron, you're the king of wizard's chess, why would you need to concentrate?"
Asato smirked. "So, he's the king, eh? Lousy kingdom."
"Your highness is about to be dethroned." Yana added, and pointed at the piles of remains of each player's chess pieces. Ron's white pieces were piled up to where they could topple over at any second, and Kaitou seemed to suffer only four casualties.
"It's amazing." Hermione said breathlessly. "It's like he knows every move Ron makes before even Ron knows it."
"I thought you said this game was barbaric." Ron grumbled, and muttered, "Knight to C-7." The knight moved obediently.
"Yes, but it's finally caught my attention." Hermione said, leaning in a little more towards the board.
"Queen to C-7." Kaitou said in a bored tone, arms crossed. The queen, as usual, got out of her chair and proceeded to clobber the knight until it shattered, which helped Hagiri's amused smirk arise even more.
"Great." Ron muttered, watching the pieces that were still unharmed carry the knight off the board and onto the pile. "It's only because"—
"Because you foolishly left your pawns and knights where they could be easily destroyed." Kaitou straightened his glasses, for what seemed the ten billionth time since arriving at the train station. "You've never had an actual challenge, and so much ego-stroking has caused you to grow arrogant over time, so when you do begin to lose, your mind panics and you become too frustrated to think properly."
"What?"
"You suck at chess." Yana said flatly, and received a glare from Ron.
"Did anyone ever tell you that you're a jerk?" Ron scowled.
Yana nodded his head vigorously. "Just about everybody I know has told me that."
"Yana, you're a jerk." Mitarai chimed.
"Now everybody has told me." He grinned.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at the transfers like they were some strange alien thing; like a computer or something. Harry was beginning to worry about his dream even more. The more he thought about it, the less he understood what a psychic even was.
LATER OUTSIDE THE CASTLE...
Were they capable of telekinesis and mind-reading? Wasn't that all Muggles that called themselves psychics capable of doing? Or was that a pointless dream that was really 'just a dream?' Harry continued contemplating these things while walking out towards the lake out of boredom, still thinking, until he tripped.
"Ow." He muttered, cursing under his breath as he got back up to see what he tripped on, and froze when he saw the spotted black and brown pattern.
"Blackjack." He breathed, debating on whether it was out of relief or fear.
"Have we met?" The anaconda asked curiously.
It just dawned on Harry he said the name in Parseltongue. "No, I just saw you in a dream I had."
"Interesssting..." The snake moved over some for Harry to sit on the grass next to him. "To appear in the dream of one who speaksss our language... are you sure it wassn't a nightmare?"
"Pretty sure." Harry had to consider it for a moment, though, since when did he have dream/visions that didn't involve Voldemort? "Blackjack, does Hagiri have a mark on his left arm?"
"A mark?" The snake sounded honestly puzzled.
"It's a skull with a snake crawling out of it."
"No, he does not. Sssorry to disssapoint you." Blackjack yawned, opening his mouth wide, and allowing Harry to see the pinkish inside of his mouth, along with many pointed teeth. "Isss that all, He-Who-Tripsss-On-Sssnakesss?"
"My name's Harry, and I'm sorry about that."
"Well, then, Harry, I ssshall be going now, there'sss a ratsss nessst near the lake..." Blackjack jerked his head towards the lake. "Alssso a good place for a nap..." He slithered off quietly.
Harry shook his head slightly. At least Hagiri wasn't a Death Eater.
123456789012345678901234567890
"You sure you want to go through with this?" Hagiri whispered.
"I've been planning it all week, of course I am." Mitarai whispered back, clenching his knife. They were standing behind a tree near the lake, and were watching Harry leave, after apparently talking to Blackjack. They were back-to-back, watching opposite sides. They could see Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, and some other Slytherin coming in their direction, but they wouldn't be there for about two minutes.
"So, he really talks to snakes." Both psychics looked up, and saw Asato looking down at them. "I thought Yana made that up."
"Apparently, he didn't, now go away." Hagiri flicked some dice at Asato. Would that punk ever go away?! As if answering his question, Asato jumped down and landed next to them. Obviously, he wouldn't be going anywhere, sadly.
"You two cult members gonna go recruit?" Asato asked, ignoring Hagiri.
"Don't you have detention? I thought Norom postponed it for today!" Hagiri growled, why wouldn't he leave!?
"So, who're you guys after?"
"Your boyfriend, now scram!"
Mitarai's eyes moved back and fourth between them. Who would win this game of, 'How Many Times Can You Change the Subject,' the blond punk, or the street biker?
"Anyone ever tell you how stupid you are?!" Asato fumed.
"At least I'm smarter than you look, teme." The Sniper seethed, Mitarai could've sworn he saw steam coming out of his ears. "But that's not saying much, now is it?"
Apparently, the game didn't last long.
"Why don't you just take that dice of yours and sh"—
"GYYYAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" They all froze, and instantly recognized the scream as Malfoy's.
They ran from behind the tree towards the cry, not because they wanted to save him, but they mostly wanted to thank whatever scared and/or killed him. When they got up the hill, they froze at the sight of about twenty hooded figures swarming around Malfoy and his entourage.
"Please, don't hurt me! Take them, but don't hurt me!" He begged. "Wait until Father hears about you all, he'll torture you until you beg to die!" The panic in his tone was too obvious.
"About time something came after him." Hagiri said with a satisfied smirk in his face, not noticing the fear on Mitarai's face.
"We need to save them." He ran back towards the lake, clutching his knife.
"What the hell are you talking about, Sea Man?!" Hagiri demanded, chasing after him, along with Asato.
"Raptor's down there! He's the only decent one out of the group, I need to save him, at least!" He slashed his left arm, leaving a large gash that started gushing blood out into the lake. He watched as the water started to shimmer a silvery-red color.
Hagiri looked at Mitarai with sheer anger. "What does it matter, they're all humans, we agreed that they all deserve to die!"
"They can suffer when the tunnel is complete." A large amount of water that had changed color now started to grow close together and shot up, beginning to form a humanoid creature with a skeletal face. "Come on, let's go!" Mitarai ran back to the hill, along with the monster that he had just created, which was towering over him, roughly twenty-five feet tall. He froze to look at Hagiri for a moment. "Please, Hagiri, just this once."
The black-haired boy glared at the water monster for a minute, as if wanting to blame it for everything that ever went wrong in his life. "Fine. Yana, go get your little friends and that Harry kid."
A grin crawled upon Asato's face. "I'll be right back." The blond's form quickly changed into a much shorter person, and vanished in a black blur.
"He thinks he can fool me." Sniper rolled his eyes and pulled out as many marbles as he could hold without them falling out of his palm. "I'm not that stupid."
"Only because you saw Asato in the tower window." Mitarai said, and snapped his fingers. "Kill the ones in the hoods." He said to the monster, who charged towards the crowd. Hagiri flicked the marbles at the hooded figures, hitting several in the back of their heads, and others where their eyes should be.
Should be.
The ones he hit all turned in his direction, completely unaffected and annoyed. They started to float over towards him when Mitarai's monster punched one and sent it crashing into another. Now, they seemed to decide to split the job: seven on the Slytherin, eight after the monster, and five after Hagiri.
"Hey, idiots!" Hagiri called to the Slytherin. "Ever heard of 'defending yourselves?'"
It was Millicent who answered, "I- I don't know how to form a Patronus!" She sobbed, terrified.
"What the hell's a Patronus?" He asked himself as he ran out of the way of one of the 'hoods', and quickly dashed to the left, dodging another, but barely.
"The boy's mother, the impact of the crash caused her brain to begin bleeding, and her lungs were punctured. She didn't make it."
A funeral, he stood there, watching the adults around him cry from around the casket. He wanted nothing more than to cry. He wanted to feel emotional pain, but he couldn't. Why couldn't he cry? The doctor's voice echoed in his head, but no feeling was held with it. Even his soul seemed empty, it questioned nothing, not even 'why did she die' or 'why couldn't it have been me?' He accepted it all too quickly, accepted no emotion even though he wanted to. He didn't consider 'at least she's with dad' or anything like that. Did he even have a soul?
"No, please, stop." He begged, clutching his head and falling to his knees, the marbles fell to the ground in front of him. Why did it hurt? What was happening? He could barely hear the footsteps rushing to him.
"Hagiri, are you okay?" A distant voice asked, it sounded too much like that doctor.
"Expecto Patronum!" A boys' voice said, and a light could be seen, even through his closed eyes. Suddenly, the memory came to an abrupt halt, and he opened his eyes, a giant stag, elk, whatever, was destroying the things that were near him. He stood back up, and figured out that the voice had belonged to Harry. He looked at the others, Yana, Asato, Kaitou, Ron, and Hermione. Ron and Hermione had just pulled their wands out.
"Hey, stupid, I asked if you were okay." Asato let out a snort.
"Apparently, I am."
"H-Harry," Ron quivered. "W-What's that?" He pointed at the giant semi-clear human-shape creature.
"I have no idea. But we," He paused, did he have to say it? "We need to get the dementors away from the Slytherins." He ran down the hill, and the stag ran ahead of him, plowing through the other dementors.
"Crap, there's more of them!" Yana gulped as a ridiculous amount of dementors came floating to them from the forest and various other directions. "Do you people ever check the woods out?!" He punched one of the dementors as hard as he could, and it nearly crashed into Ron, when the stag hit it.
"Hermione, a little help!" Harry said through gritted teeth.
"Expecto Patronum!" She said, and a small puff of smoke came from her wand. "Oh come on, work, why d- AAH!!" she cried out, a dementor got scarily close to her, but then dropped to the ground suddenly. She stared wide-eyed at the wand that was sticking halfway out of its neck. Black blood started coming slowly out of the dementor.
"HURRY UP!" Hagiri growled, pulling what was evidently his wand out of the dementor, and ran off into a dense group of dementors.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" She cried out, much louder than the last attempt, and instead of smoke, a silver otter appeared and seemed to smile at the sight of the dementors. It rushed up to them and began biting at the ones that were closest and chasing after the others. "Wait, get the blue thing!" She shouted at it.
"NO!" Asato yelled at her, "Are you blind, it's on our side!" He was standing by the otter, which wasn't moving. She looked at the monster, sure enough, it was attacking the dementors.
"Sorry." She said, "Continue, then!" Asato moved away from the otter, and it continued its game of tag. "Why does it have to be so playful?" She asked herself.
"Just be glad you can make one!" Ron muttered, and fired a green light from his wand that hit a dementor in its chest. Kaitou wrinkled his nose in frustration. His power was basically useless, the damn things couldn't talk! But then again, there was that other side effect...
A chill ran up Harry's spine suddenly. He froze and regretted it as a dementor came rushing up to him and was about to 'kiss' him when it was somehow flung into the air.
"What the"-
"Don't ask, just move!" Mitarai ran past him and up to Kaitou. "Call it off, we can't fight if you have it up!"
"I did it to save Harry, calm down." Kaitou said in typical monotone.
The chill left as quickly as it came, and the stag and otter continued bashing through the dementors.
"Well, well, well, Mr. Potter." A voice said coldly. Harry quickly turned around, and saw Lucius Malfoy, who was sneering. "I see you have more little friends. I consider it a good thing, though, it means you have much more to lose..." He sneered.
"Why are they attacking the Slytherins? If you forgot, your son's one of them!" Harry's grip on his wand tightened.
"My son? My son?! That foul little brat has nerve to call himself my son!" Lucius growled, "He dared to try and stop me from attending a meeting with the Dark Lord! He's afraid that I was going to offer him as the sacrifice!" He laughed. "He's a pathetic excuse for my bloodline, the black sheep, the one not willing to die for the cause!" Harry looked around, all the dementors had vanished. "If he isn't going to die for our purpose, then he will die as a traitor! Heh, he's probably already dead!"
Harry's eyes swiftly shifted over to where the group of Slytherin were. They were all moving, some crying, others shuddering, but they were all alive. But there was one problem, Malfoy wasn't there. He took one quick unnoticed glimpse behind Lucius and saw Asato, along with Yana. The two crept closer to Lucius quietly, closer, closer...
"No, don't!" Harry held up his wand, "He'll kill you!" Lucius turned around quickly, and froze.
"What?!" He demanded, "What the hell is this, Potter?!"
Asato had a sickening grin on his face, like he was another person suddenly, but Harry knew what it truly was, it was the same sneer that Dudley bore when he was kicking him in the stomach. That expression just said that Asato had his share of inflicting pain.
"Luci, hi." He pulled out his wand and pressed it long-ways against Lucius' throat. "Funny, I've never met you, but I feel the need to kick your ass, interesting, right?"
Lucius fought to speak. "W-What," Cough. "Do you want?"
"All the info you have in that head of yours." Asato pushed the wand harder. "Yana, go ahead." Yana walked up to them and put his hand on Lucius' head. "I don't like feeling left out of things, Lucius, if you are hiding anything from the Dark Lord, you will suffer the consequences for it. He doesn't trust you anymore, he thinks you're against him. I am supposed to kill you after I get the information, but, I have a little more faith in you." He paused when Yana removed his hand. "Run, now." He moved his foot away.
Lucius obeyed, and took off into the forest. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all looked at Asato incredulously. The blond's sneer quickly changed into a typical smirk. "How stupid can you get?" He asked Yana, since the others were in varied places that weren't as close. " 'Look out, Lucius, Voldemort's after you,' who the hell would fall for that?"
"Them." A stiffened Yana muttered, pointing at Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who all had their wands pointing at the psychics.
"Great. And I still need to go to my detention." Asato grumbled.
DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE...
"Get in." Harry commanded after saying the password (he 'overheard' it while walking around the school, for some reason, no one seemed to 'notice' him). The two wizards and witch had their wands to the others' backs.
"Fine, just don't rush me." Yana sad, bending his back oddly so that Hermione's wand wasn't touching it. They all walked in and saw Dumbledore sitting at his desk, and Professor McGonagall was standing near where the sorting hat was placed, and the one chair was occupied also.
"Professors, sorry to interrupt, but there was a huge dementor attack near the lake." Harry's hair was ruffled up even more than usual, and his bangs were unintentionally showing his scar clearly. "Malfoy's father was there, he planned the attack to go after his own son!"
Dumbledore looked at him intently.
"And why is it that you hold these five at wandpoint?" He asked, as if he was asking about the weather.
"They know something about You-Know-Who, professor!" Ron spoke, "Asato threatened to turn Lucius in!"
"Don't you idiots see a plan when it's right in front of you!?" Asato yelled, "I was tricking him so he would get scared and leave!"
McGonagall looked at the figure in the chair. Harry couldn't see them, since the back to the chair was so high. Her eyes then returned to Harry. "Does he have the mark?"
Now Harry felt real stupid. "Um, no."
"Then why don't you check?"
Asato didn't give Harry the chance to touch him. He pulled up his sleeve and showed them his arm, there was no mark, just scars. "See? Now don't you feel stupid?"
Yes, I do. Harry thought. He, Ron, and Hermione put their wands down and all muttered 'sorry'.
"Maybe next time you won't jump to conclusions, Potter." The person in the chair turned around. It was an old woman with pinkish-grey hair, and was very short. "It's usually the first thing someone does before they get themselves killed."
"Master Genkai?" Asato gasped. "What're you doing here?" Harry noticed that Yana and Kaitou both had the same surprised expression.
"How many times do I have to tell you, Kido, don't question me." She muttered. "I'm here because of you fives' insolence. I told you not to use your powers but you did, multiple times, all of you." Her eyes wandered to Yana. "And you, you broke the rule twenty-six times."
"Okay, but who did I use it on?" Yana asked in a professional tone. Genkai handed him a list. His eyes scanned down it. "Wow." He dismissively handed it to Hagiri.
Big mistake.
"You are dead." Hagiri hissed in Japanese. "I told you not to lay a hand on me, SO YOU GO AND COPY ME WHILE I'M SLEEPING?!" Several books flew off of their shelves and attacked Yana.
"Jeez, come on!" Yana cried out, ducking down as his body shrunk over two feet and his hair grew black and spiked. He then disappeared in a black blur and reappeared near the bookcase. "Are you insane!?" He yelled in a voice that wasn't his own.
"Wha-what's going on, Professor?" Hermione asked, stunned by Yana's sudden transformation and apparating.
"They're psychics." Genkai explained. "Cocky ones, too. Each with their own ability, Asato manipulates shadows, Kaitou can take your soul if you say the wrong word, Mitarai makes monsters by mixing water with his own blood, Hagiri can make things chase people endlessly, and dumbass there," She jerked her head towards the short, black-hair, red/ purple-eyed Yana. "He can turn into anyone whose head he touches and gets their memories."
McGonagall's face contorted like she was trying to avoid being upset.
"But I thought that psychics could only predict the future and move things." Ron said.
"Stereotypes. It's nothing but mystical energy, usually. But their powers are unnatural." She paused as the door opened, and a tall, red haired boy- no, girl, err, person, walked in. The person looked at the new Yana and smiled.
"Using his agility again, Yanagisawa?"
"Hn." Yana grunted.
"That power is amazing, I admit."
"Where's Hiei?" Genkai asked.
"I still can't find him, but he'll show up eventually."
Ron let out a whimper. "He's got three eyes!" He pointed at Yana/Hiei, who smirked.
"Don't worry about that." Genkai said dismissively. "He doesn't matter."
"Gee, thanks, Master." Yana/Hiei muttered.
The redhead looked at him out of the corner of his eye. "That was one of the most awkward sounding things I have ever heard."
"Sorry, it will never happen again." He responded in McGonagall's voice.
"Oh, my word..." McGonagall gasped.
"Bloody hell!" Ron, of course.
Then, the door opened wide again, but no one was there. They all turned around when there was a crashing noise. Yana was on the floor, unconscious, and his previous identical stood over him.
"If he does that again, I kill him." The black-haired person's voice said, but it had a coldness that proved that Yana wasn't really using his abilities fully.
"Our apologies, Hiei, next time we will adhere to your unknown needs." The redhead fought back a smile. "I'm sorry." It seemed like he just figured out that Harry and his two friends were there. "My name's Suuichi Minamino, or Kurama, if you prefer. And that's Hiei"-
"Do not mention my last name, Fox."
"Jaganshi. We will be joining your year for surveillance purposes. I have been placed into Gryffindor, and Hiei will be in Slytherin."
"Answer this, Suuichi," Kaitou said to his once again fellow classmate, "Who will be surveying who?"

LL A.K.: All done for now!
Falcon: Writing this took all day!
LL A.K.: Well, the dementor fight until the end took all day.
Falcon: Whatever.
LL A.K.: Need we remind you all that there is no shounen-ai in this fic. Just because Mitarai wanted to save Raptor doesn't mean anything!
Falcon: And if you like Hiei/Kurama, not happening.
LL A.K.: We have a habit of hanging up on people while we're on the phone when they insist such things.
Falcon: And push the pervert button on AIM.
LL A.K.: Yep. We don't really approve of it.
Falcon: I just noticed something.
LL A.K.: What?
Falcon: Yana Copied Hagiri. That means two Hagiri! Yay!!!!!!!
LL A.K.: (sweatdrop) He Copied Asato too, you know.
Falcon: DON'T CARE! Two Hagiri, two Hagiri, two Hagiri......
LL A.K.: Update before I hurt Falcon-sama.
