LL A.K: Hello!
Falcon: We're back from moving.
LL A.K.: It was only five blocks… --;
Falcon: But the computer was only recently hooked up.
LL A.K.: We added two OCs from you lovely people.
Falcon: They're poorly mentioned at the time, but, they're there.
LL A.K.: Here's our responses!
Dreizen: Exactly! Hooray to Touya, Rinku, and Jin!
Fire Sidoni: No Cartoon Network? That really sucks, ne? You have a little brother that learned too much from it too? COOL! No, it's not. You're right.
Gilluin: All reviews, late or otherwise, are accepted. As for the Yusuke and Kuwabara coming in… still thinking about it.
Bloody Cross: ALL CAPS! YAY!
Sniper and Jin obsesser: No problem!
Makota: Did you hear that, LL A.K.? Diablo reminds Makota of you! Cool… I think. And sick is good when you despise one of your teachers!
Sesshoumaru01: Um, is it Hagrid? I have no clue, to be honest. I heard it was something else on J.K.'s website, unless she changed it.
Samuraiduck27: Wait no more!
Kurosaisei: Happy late birthday, Hiei! He only drinks coffee? Wow. I hope Hagiri's still okay… thanks for correcting my spelling! After reading a couple hundred fics you kinda get confused on how to spell Shuuichi. ;
Mihi-kun: The only one you'll ever like? Cool! An honor, really.
Angelkitsune: PRAISE! COOL! As for the Touya thing, YAY!
Wind Kitty: Someone had too much sugar… As for the pic, a certain someone (coughchriscough) still has it, and has yet to scan it. I'll get it to you eventually!
Icy Tears: Sorry for the confusion, he insulted Harry so that he could see if Sirius would get ticked off and do something about it. He has strange logic…
Flower Girl: I read your fic, but couldn't review (sorry) I don't have internet at home right now, so I have to read at school, and I couldn't type when we were supposed to be looking at a presentation, so, yeah. Good story!
Deceptigirl: Yep, I updated!
Roguricephoenix: Yes, I do have mind-controlling powers that make sure you have a sugarhigh when you read my stuff. I was considering making it mandatory… Oh, well. Here's some pocky, I don't need it. (hands over pocky)
Random person you apologized to because Leelee flamed you: No prob.
Falcon: People are cool.
LL A.K.: At least, the ones who review.
Falcon: Want me to say it?
LL A.K.: No, let the Ominous Disclaimer Voice That Comes From Nowhere say it!
Ominous Disclaimer Voice That Comes From Nowhere: Long Live Asato Kido and Falcon-sama do not own YuYu Hakusho or Harry Potter, but are willing to trade their right to vote, because sadly, J.K. Rowling isn't an American citizen and can't be elected.
LL A.K.: How about Justin Cook?
Falcon: Hmmm……Blackmail?
LL A.K.: Blackmail.
Falcon: Read, NOW!

Hiei and Mitarai had done well hiding the three demons so far, although narrowly avoiding Filch and Mrs. Norris, managing to hide behind statues and armor. There was one big problem, though.
They didn't know where Gryffindor Tower was.
"'Ey, lil' guy, thought ya knew your way 'round here!" Jin said in his 'just-drank-fifty-gallons-of-red-bull-then-topped-it-off-with-eighty-pounds-of-sugar' manner. "Sure don't seem like it, goin' in circles, and we been 'round past that door twice!" Then, a long piece of steel was at Jin's throat.
"Well, if you're so smart, Shinobi, lead the way." Hiei growled, and moved the sword back to its sheath.
"HEY!" The group turned around. It was that girl with the bush-for-hair, what was her name again? "Mitarai, Hiei, you guys can't be down here!"
"Hermione, we need some help." Mitarai said, "You see, there's"—
"And who are these three? I've never seen them before!" She looked at Jin, his ears were way too big and pointy and he had a fang, along with… a horn? "Oh, my… what on earth?"
"We'll explain when we're somewhere safer." Hiei muttered, "Where's Gryffindor Tower?" He demanded.
"Right here." She said, pointing at the portrait they passed countless times. "But you can't come in there! You're Slytherin!"
"We're not." She turned to look at one of the strangers, it was the one with sea green strands of hair in his face. "If the rules only apply to the other groups, than how can you refuse people who take no part in it?"
"That's charming." Hiei snorted, "'Stay here, we'll go in with the eccentric human.'" He mocked.
"I'm not eccen—wait, did you say 'human'?" Hiei's face remained expressionless. "I'll get the others, meet us near Dumbledore's office."
Mitarai nodded, and the five walked off.
"Wonder why th' lass said 'chocolate chip'." Jin thought aloud. "Maybe she's hungry, but that's sorta strange, isn't it?"
Hiei smirked, the idiot had a purpose after all.
They finally got to the gargoyle statue that hid Dumbledore's office, after causing a vase to hit Malfoy in the head, of course.
FIVE MINUTES AGO…
"Who's 'Peroxide Man' over there?" Touya asked, looking down the hall at Malfoy.
"Captain Peroxide." Mitarai corrected. "Just your everyday egomaniac, nothing special."
Rinku smirked, pulled out a yoyo, and flicked his wrist, sending the yoyo towards a vase that was sitting on a shelf above Malfoy.
CRASH!
PRESENT TIME…
"So…why would you hide your office behind a statue?" Rinku said to himself. "Oh, well, humans are weird."
"It's funny that you can say that, since you look just like a human." Mitarai said emptily.
"Shut up, what do you know about anything?"
"It's an eight letter word!" Only one person would say something like that, and he walked up to them, along with Asato, Hagiri, Kurama, Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Kaitou. "I know lots of stuff about anything!"
"Will you be quiet?" Asato grumbled, "We aren't supposed to be out of the rooms, if we get caught, it's your fault."
Yana blinked. "No… it's their fault, whoever they are." He pointed at the three new demons. His eyes looked up, as if thinking about something. "Let's see… Touya, Jin, and Rinku, right?"
"How does he know that?" Rinku asked, to which Touya responded, "Another psychic."
"Oh." He then snapped. "HEY WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO GO THROUGH MY HEAD I SHOULD KICK YOUR ASS RIGHT NOW!"
"Calm down, kid," Yana patted Rinku on the head, causing him to grow angrier. "I didn't go through your head." He jerked a thumb at Hiei. "I already went through his!"
"Hn."
Hagiri looked bored. "So, will someone remind me why we're here?" He looked at a neighboring statue. It had eyes made of onyx. That would make a good projectile…
Hermione walked up to the gargoyle statue. "Feviotawh." And with that, the statue came to life and jumped out of the way, showing the door. They all walked in, after Ron pinned his ear to the door.
"Professor," Harry spoke, since he was the one on close terms with Dumbledore. "Are you in here?"
They looked around the huge room, no sign of him.
"Weird." Asato muttered.
Yana turned a chair backwards and sat on it. "Probably left to get a haircut. Oh, well." He rested his head on his hand and began to snore.
"Idiot." Hiei snorted.
"Be nice, Hiei."
"Bite me."
"No."
"Good."
"Confused?"
"Not at all, Fox."
"You were yesterday."
"Well, it is not yesterday."
"Am I frustrating you yet, Hiei?"
"You possess an intriguing mind."
"And yet, I haven't developed the habit of setting animals on fire for my own enjoyment."
"You find that intriguing?"
"Quite."
"What the hell are they talking about?" Rinku asked, watching Kurama and Hiei (who never looked at each other once.)
Yana, who 'woke up', looked at them. "Demons are weird."
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?" Rinku yelled, knocking over a chair.
"Nothing!"
"Albus, we have a prob"- They all turned around, it was McGonagall. "What are you all doing here?" He eyes locked dead-on to Harry.
"Well, to be honest, we aren't exactly filled in, either." Harry said. "Hiei and Mitarai came looking for us, along with them." He indicated Rinku, Touya, and Jin.
"Where did you three come from?" She demanded.
"I came from a wee lil' island not too far of the coast o'"—
"Jin, shut up." Touya snapped. "We somehow were sucked through a portal, a tear in the dimensions; and ended up here."
"But," She looked at Touya's eyes; they seemed so hollow and soulless. "Portals aren't able to work on Hogwarts grounds! How did you get here!?"
"Actually, Minerva, only certain portals are protected against." Dumbledore walked in the room, carrying a HUGE book, purple-red, and looked somewhat familiar. He sat in his chair and put the book on his desk. "I was looking up the incident occurring in Japan, and it seems that there is a demon there that is strong enough to create its own dimensions, and rip others open."
"Mr. Itsuki." Mitarai gasped.
Hagiri looked at his friend curiously. "What about him?"
"I knew that black hole looked familiar! It was just like the one in Demon's Door! Mr. Itsuki created the portal!"
Dumbledore and McGonagall both had stunned looks on their faces. "You know who is responsible for the happenings in Japan?"
Hiei scoffed to himself. "Know them? They work for him."
"Hiei!" Kurama said warningly.
Dumbledore's eyes widened. "You do realize that ten Muggles were killed by demons that managed to escape."
"So?" Hagiri smirked. "Humans die, this just… speeds up the process."
"Demons are extremely dangerous! And you want to set them free to kill everyone?!" Hermione blurted. (Forgot she was there, didn't you?)
Kurama merely suppressed a grin when he spoke. "Are they all that bad?"
"Yes! Apparently, you haven't read much about them, but I have! They're all deadly in their own way, toxic blood, giant fangs, eat their own young, and they all kill for fun!"
Hiei smirked. "Hey, Kurama, I'm bored, wanna have some fun?"
The only ones who found this funny were Jin and Touya (he hid it well, but he thought it was funny).
"That's not all!" Hermione said hotly. "There are many that look just like humans and some even control the elements! They're a bunch of monsters."
"Jeez, stereotypes are a real pain here." Rinku muttered, arms behind his head.
Dumbledore cleared his throat. "No matter, the Japanese wizards are taking care of it and I will have the spells protecting the school reinforced. We need to have the students leave the school for a while, though."
"We should send them to Diagon Alley."
"I suppose that should do, Minerva. Please make arrangements for tomorrow." Dumbledore smiled. "And there's the Hogsmeade visit next week."
She nodded and left the office.
"But Professor," Harry said, "They don't have forms!" He pointed at the psychics and demons.
Dumbledore chuckled. "Don't worry; they have already been taken care of." He opened a drawer and pulled out forms, three from Genkai, two from Sensui, one from Shiori Minamino, and one from Koenma.
"See, don't worry about us kid!" Yana grinned. "We were covered the whole time."
"But we just got those."
"Wha- oh, shut up, Kido."
"What about them?" Mitarai asked, indicating the three who looked quite misplaced.
"I'll have Ollivander meet you all at Hogsmeade, you can get wands there, until then, we'll just have to sort you, won't we?" He smiled. "Hat, if you would be so kind."
The hat sitting on a shelf woke up with a start. "Hmm? What? Oh, more of them. Headmaster, how do you expect me to think up next years' song when you keep interrupting my thoughts?"
"I apologize, but we continue to have these instances."
"Very well, then." The hat then started grumbling. "First the transfers, then the two 'overseers', now these three…"
Even though it was ritualistic to have McGonagall to handle the sorting hat, Dumbledore took care of it, for it was a 'special case'.
123456789012345678901234567890
"So, is th' Hufflepuff thing th' they were talkin' 'bout any good?" Jin asked, adjusting the hat he was given to hide his horn and the fact that his ears were huge.
Hiei snorted. "Their mascot is a badger and their colors are the same as a bug."
"Not to mention there's a bunch of crybabies in there." Yana pointed out. "Captain Peroxide said one of the third-years was fat, she hasn't eaten all week and has been crying a river into the halls."
Kaitou raised a brow. "How do you know what goes on in Hufflepuff?"
Yana grinned widely.
"Ugh." Asato rolled his eyes. "You could at least tell me the passwords too, you know!"
Touya took one quick glimpse at Kurama, eager to change the subject.. "Ravenclaw. That's where the smart ones go, correct?"
"Yes, but I'm afraid I'm in Gryffindor, Kaitou's the only one in Ravenclaw."
"Welcome to the club." Kaitou said blankly. "Stay away from that girl, Cho."
Coughbitchcough.
"What's that, Kido?"
"Wasn't talking about you, so what's it matter?" Asato looked at Rinku. "So, another Slytherin. That's three Slytherin, two Ravenclaw, one Hufflepuff, and four Gryffindor. Do we have enough people here?!"
"Does he always switch back to Japanese when he yells?" Touya asked.
"Yes."
"Oookaaay…"
123456789012345678901234567890
THE NEXT DAY…
"So, there are more transfers?" Parvati asked, eyes darting to the other tables.
"It's insane, more and more students popping up, I heard that two of the new ones were in seventh year, and the other is in fourth." Lavender added.
"I heard the new Ravenclaw was cute." A fifth year, Sapphire Crawford, whispered loudly to her friends.
"Forget him, the new beaters this year, Minamino and Hagiri." Parvati wolf-whistled. "They're the best looking guys here, hands-down."
"I dunno, Professor Diablo"—
"Professor Diablo?" Sapphire turned around. "His hair is so long! Not to mention the fact that it's blue!"
"So? The new Ravenclaw has blue and grey hair."
"It's sea green and silver!" Sapphire's blue eyes grew frustrated.
"Whatever."
Asato, Yana, Hagiri, and Kurama all looked at the girls with looks of pure confusion.
"So… do you always have this problem?" Asato asked, taking another bite of his bacon.
"Sadly, yes." Kurama sighed, and poured himself some more juice.
Hagiri just sat there with his arms crossed. "You poor thing, admired by so many, life must be harsh."
Kurama half-shrugged. "Well then, Sniper, what's it like to be completely ignored by everyone, disregarded by many and only a few people acknowledge your existence?"
"It's perfect, especially for world destruction."
Yana laughed, until the 'world destruction' part caught on. "Oh, it's not that funny."
"Uh-huh."
"Well, it's not."
"Riiiiiight."
"Heads up." Asato interrupted. Owls started pouring into the Great Hall, and flying to their respective owners. They saw the eagle owl land on Malfoy's plate, as Umi dropped a small package in Mitarai's lap, then soared over to Hagiri and dropped a slightly larger package. Sensha flew up to Yana and sat on his head, err, hair.
"Jeez, Sensha!" He picked up the owl and looked at his leg, sure enough, he was carrying a letter. "What's up? 'To the idiot with the hair', well, that's loving." He opened the letter and read it.
Yana,
What the hell are you doing over there!? We could use some help back here in your city! You know, since you're the guy who can turn into anyone he touches, slap Hiei in the back of the head and get your ass over here, we're freaking desperate! I would settle with Kuwabara, but that stupid 'code' of his would get lodged in your brain! I'll tell you what; try to get that stupid biker jerk and the blond crybaby to get Sensui to slow the portal down. Because even though it's a bunch of really weak demons, after the millionth one in a day, you start to get tired. My stupid finger has a freaking burn mark on it! Now I know how Hiei's arm feels. Here's what I need you psychics to do: Skip school, leave England, and turn into a bird or something and GET OVER HERE!
Seriously pissed off,
Yusuke
P.S.,
GIVE ME BACK MY DEMONS!
"Strange." Kurama said, looming over Yana's shoulder. "I can't seem to recall belonging to Yusuke, interesting…"
"With a voice like yours is it hard to be funny?" Yana stuffed the letter in his pocket.
"Not really. Why would Yusuke send the letter to you instead of Kido or Kaitou?"
"Because Kaitou would be too busy doing work and Kido would tear it up the second he recognized Yusuke's handwriting." Yana then turned to look at Hagiri, (who didn't have Hermione gaping at him for once). "Hey, what'd your dot-head pal send you?"
Hagiri's pink eyes moved to their corners to look at him, then returned to the package. He tore the paper off of the package and opened the small box. His eyes widened at the sight. It was… his gun. He immediately held the box under the table and pulled the note out from under it.
You and Mitarai have outlived your purpose. Make yourself useful one last time so I won't have to deal with you.
It was unmistakable; it was in Sensui's neat handwriting, in blood, but not so much as a greeting or signature. But there was no way… Mr. Sensui had no use for them? But, how could that be? They were the first of the psychics he came to, they were the most loyal, Doctor had his own agenda and Game Master would go along with whoever offered him an Xbox. How could he do this? He had abandoned everything for their purpose. He was judged based on it! That stupid hat had based its damn decision based on his loyalty to Sensui and destruction! How dare that tall, skinny bastard tell him to go and kill himself! He had the largest Territory out of all the psychics, he was his right-hand man, but he sends his own gun and says to shoot himself with it?!
"Uh, you okay there, Hagiri?" Lavender asked, looking at how his face turned ten shades paler.
He didn't say anything. He crammed the gun into his pocket and stood up and walked to the Slytherin table.
"How many times must I tell you to stay away from here?" Malfoy said in an almost bored tone.
"Like I give a damn what you think." Hagiri growled, then muttered something in Japanese.
"What did you say, Mudblood?" Malfoy stood up, along with several others. Mitarai looked at Hagiri with worry.
"'Death Print Bull's-Eyes.'" Mitarai repeated, only in English. "Sniper, what's going on?"
"Did you open the package?" He said after a moment.
"No. Why, what's in it?"
Hagiri pulled out the note and handed it to Mitarai, who read it at least five times.
"Why's he doing this?" Mitarai said with a slight tremble. "I mean, he's got what, seven personalities, right? Maybe one of them was just ticked off." He said it like he was trying to convince himself.
"What the bloody hell are you talking about?" Malfoy interrupted.
"It's none of your concern." Hagiri snapped, and a glass suddenly slammed into Malfoy's chest on its own, and broke, cutting him.
"Agh!" He clutched his chest, and when he moved his hand away there was blood on it. He pulled out his wand and pointed it at Hagiri. "How did you do that!?" He demanded, but Hagiri just looked at the wand.
"Threatening me with a stick is meaningless. I'm extremely pissed off right now so I suggest you back off."
"Ah-hem."
Oh god, not her.
"Are we having problems finding your seat, Mr. Hagiri?" Norom's sickening grin was matched up against Hagiri's scowl.
"Well, if you won't talk, Mr. Malfoy should." She turned to Malfoy, who stuffed his wand into his pocket. "What was this boy doing over here?"
"Trying to start a fight, as usual." Malfoy formed a malicious smirk on his face. "And he threw a glass at me!" He showed that he was bleeding, and the blood was coming out a little more rapidly.
"He didn't throw anything at you!" Mitarai countered.
"Then you did?" Norom's smile looked more twisted.
Mitarai clenched his teeth, unable to say anything.
"Just as I thought." She looked at Hagiri. "You should know where your priorities lie and abandon all ties to Slytherin, so your little friend won't betray you, he isn't even able to defend you." She smirked and turned her beady black eyes to her son, Joseph. "Sweetie, you aren't friends with these... people, are you?"
"Of course not! I'm friends with Malfoy!" He said proudly, and Malfoy muttered, 'don't push your luck.'
"That's a good boy." She said in an annoying 'talking-to-your-neighbors-dog-in-a-stupid-voice' way.
"Sea Man, let's get out of here." Hagiri said, eerily calm.
"Okay." He stood up.
Norom noticed. "Where do you think you're going?"
"They needed help with their essays." Norom turned around, it was Professor Diablo.
"Oh, really? I wasn't notified that you had assigned essays." She sneered.
"Well, you were busy with Trelawney, so I took care of it. Yep, ten inches about Patronuses! How far are you two, again?"
Mitarai fought back a smile. "I've got six, I'm running out of ideas."
"Five." Hagiri said flatly, although he found this teacher amusing.
"Aha! See Helga, no point in getting upset, and I'll even give them detention for harming Mr. Malfoy." He grinned.
After a moment, she agreed. "Very well." And with that, she went back to her seat.
"Ugly frog." Diablo muttered, then, back to his cheerful tone, "See you two at five tomorrow."
"Um, okay."
"Whatever."
Professor Diablo's grey eyes swerved over towards Norom. "Stay out of her way, she's close to getting her sisters' job in its entirety, power to override teacher decisions, cancel all teams and clubs, including quidditch. Be careful guys." He walked off towards the teachers' table, and sat down next to Professor Phoenix, who immediately whispered something that caused Diablo's eyes to widen. Then, they both stood up and left swiftly, receiving concerned looks from Professor Sprout and Dumbledore, but a look of malice from Snape.
123456789012345678901234567890
"He sent you your own weapon and told you to commit suicide?" Kaitou pushed up his glasses, looking at the two psychics who honestly looked near suicidal. They nodded.
"Gonna go through with it?" Yana asked, worried.
Hagiri looked at him through shadowed pink eyes. "No."
Hiei made a remark that sounded oddly like 'damn', which Kurama heard quite clearly.
"I thought you two were of his best."
"Not anymore." Mitarai laid down on the grass next to where Hagiri decided to sit. "Looks like the Five Psychics now."
"Or two, but that's a half-full, half-empty analogy thing, isn't it?" The others looked at Asato incredulously. "Okay, that's my deep thought of the year."
Touya, Jin, and Rinku simply looked at them all in puzzlement. One of the many punishments for being unable to get through the barrier; you have no clue what the humans and demons on the other side are talking about.
Hiei closed his two visible eyes, scanning the area for anything more interesting than the humans babbling on about Sensui and his 'merciless sacrifices'. Please, that's what you do, make sacrifices, and be merciless. If humans weren't the matter of the subject, there was no doubt in his mind that his own cruelty would be criticized. They were an annoying bunch, these humans, 'psychics', whatever, along with the 'witches' and 'wizards'. Please, they were all humans, they all bled the same way: easily. Frail bodies that were so easy to break, no weapons to be born with. But what was their reason for being top of their little food chain? They were smarter than the other animals and could make 'tools'. Gasp! Makai forbid that he should ever encounter one of these Neanderthals that had a pointed stick to cook fish with! He could never stand a chance, because they had sticks! Oh, wait a second, demons kill and/or eat humans! But they could never admit that something stronger exists, could they?
"Hey, Hiei, feel free to leave la-la land anytime now." Yana said, looking up at him. "We kinda have to go and do stuff."
Hiei looked at him for a moment. Yana tapped his own temple with a finger. "You know, class?"
"Hn." And with that, Hiei vanished.
"Whatever." Yana muttered, and ran after the others, who had already begun to walk off.
123456789012345678901234567890
EVERYONE'S FAVORITE CLASS, POTIONS!
"Today we will be going over a very complicated potion, some of my more intelligent students may have heard of it," Professor Snape sneered, looking at his beloved Slytherin. "The Curse Cure. When created properly the potion will remove things such as clumsiness," He glared at Neville. "And sheer insolence." His eyes darted towards Harry. "Instructions"- he flicked his wand.
"-Are on the board." Yana mocked, and then looked at the board. "Blood of sa-le-mend-er."
"Salamander, you numbskull." Hagiri said grumpily, after getting his ingredients out of the cupboard. "You know, ugly and slimy."
"But… I don't think Snape can fit in here." He looked over his cauldron, and suddenly found his head in it.
"Idiot." Asato grumbled, fist still lodged in Yana's skull.
"Excuse me."
Asato twitched. What now?
He turned around, it was some girl. He had noticed her before, (hard not to, she had silvery hair) but, didn't pay any attention to her.
"Um, Kaname, right?"
Wouldn't you know it, she was talking to Hagiri.
The said teen looked behind him. She forced a smile. "I was just wondering if you could help me out a bit, because I have no clue what's going on here."
Hagiri looked in her cauldron when Snape's back was turned. It was deep orange instead of pale blue. He snorted. "Too much of that powder." He smirked. "If you put too much of one ingredient, just put too much of everything else, that'll counter the effect, you'll just have a lot of potion."
She put her finger to her lips and said thoughtfully, "Why didn't I ever think of that? Of course! Thanks, I'm Silver Sumeragi, by the way."
Hagiri fought back a smile as hard as he could, but failed miserably. "Kaname Hagiri. But you know that."
As soon as Snape sauntered over to Harry to insult his, well, it was supposed to be a potion, (but looked more like grits,) Yana elbowed Hagiri.
"Looks like Hermione's got competition." He managed to get his head out of the cauldron. "You actually did something other than smirk or sneer."
"…And your point?"
"Mister 'damn all the humans' smiled at someone other than his little blondie." Asato threw his hands up in defeat. "That's it, the worlds' coming to an end."
"Once again, what's your point?" Hagiri was about to add on to his question, but Snape walked up to them.
He looked down his giant nose and down at Kurama (who had been dead quiet the whole time) and his potion that was perfect. "I see Miss Granger is assisting others again, no doubt." He sneered. "Ten points from Gryffindor, thanks to Miss Granger, who refuses to let others fail on their own."
"But she didn't"—
"It's alright, Kido." Kurama muttered quietly. "I've been told he has habits of accusing her of such a thing all the time, but knowing Hiei, Slytherin's about to go downhill."
"Another five points for talking, Mr. Minamino." Snape growled, then looked at Kido's. "Hmm…" And turned to Hagiri and Yana. He made a quiet, uncharacteristic 'tch' sound, and walked over to Slytherin.
From what they could hear, Rinku's and Mitarai's were perfect, so was Malfoy's. Crabbe, Goyle, Millicent, Raptor, and Pansy's were all various sickening colors, and Hiei's…
"What do you mean you didn't make one?" He said it slowly, as if he himself was having difficulty taking it all in.
"I didn't make one." Hiei said bluntly, red eyes staring blankly at Snape as if he was a window to look through.
Snape twitched, but hid it well. "You didn't make one." He repeated. Then he flicked his wand at the inside of Hiei's cauldron, but nothing appeared.
"You think I put an invisibility charm on it?" Hiei scoffed. "Ridiculous."
"Indeed." Snape growled, then marched back to his desk. "Twelve inches on the usefulness of this potion, due next week." He said darkly as the bell rang.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione caught up to the transfers, who were well adjusted to jumping out of their seats immediately, as they headed towards Demonology.
"You didn't make a potion?" Hermione asked, incredulous.
"He didn't deduct points!" Ron snorted, "Ugly git. I wish I could knock 'em off." He looked at Hiei. "Let's see, bandannas aren't a part of the dress code, so a good twenty points could work…"
"If you could, Ron, I'd take points for you abusing your role as prefect." Hermione said, "How many times do I have to tell you"—
"It's too dangerous."
"Listen to Dumbledore."
"Eat before the match."
"Don't go in there."
"Do your homework."
"Be nice to Trelawney."
"Don't fall asleep in History of Magic."
"Don't abuse your position."
She looked at Ron and Harry. "I give up. Do as you please, I'll take no part."
After managing to get the statue out of the way of Professor Phoenix's door, (which was handled by Asato and Yana, since demons and other two psychics decided they didn't want to push it), they all walked into the coliseum-like classroom and sat down. They looked around and saw that Professor Phoenix wasn't in there.
"Wonder where he's at." Dean said thoughtfully, before turning to Seamus to point out his newest card of Phineas, a past headmaster.
"Does it really matter, we're supposed to go over… um…" Neville bit his lip, trying to remember.
"Elemental demons." Kurama said with a quick glance at Hiei, who looked away with a 'Hn.'
"Sounds tough." Yana said, flipping through an old issue of Shounen Jump he had brought with him. He elbowed Asato, who looked at the manga. "That looks painful."
"Yeah, but the guy's rubber, so technically, it shouldn't hurt him."
"I don't care what you made of, that hurts."
Yana turned the magazine at the angle Asato was looking at. "Oh, yeah. Ouch."
"Ah-hem."
Like out of a horror movie, everyone seemed to freeze and turn around slowly at the same time, and saw Mrs. Norom standing in the doorway.
"Hello children."
"Hello, Mrs. Norom." They had developed that painful drone when Umbridge was DADA teacher.
"Konnichiwa, onna." Asato, Yana, and Hagiri said, receiving reproachful looks from Mitarai and Kurama, but the same placid expression from Hiei.
She looked as if she considered asking what it meant, but decided not to, figuring it was a complement.
"That will do." She looked around the room. "And where might Professor Phoenix be? I have seen no sign of him or Professor Diablo."
Malfoy had apparently suggested something, because snickers started coming from their side of the room. Mitarai, Hiei, and the mute Raptor Nomed were the only ones who didn't find it funny.
"Well, I'm sure he won't mind me looking in his lesson plans, with me being the High Inquisitor." She used a sickening giggle like Umbridge's, and opened Phoenix's desk. She pulled out three books, one was called 'Demons: Man-eaters, or Misunderstood?' By Eve LePants. Another, 'Vampires, Werewolves, And Other Human-Turned-Demon Creatures' By Idon Givadam seemed to turn her face red with anger, and the last: 'Why Kill A Murderous Demon When He/She Can Be Your Friend?' By Eezi-Lee Fooled, just made her even more flustered.
She tossed the books on the desk with a loud 'thump' and found a book that said 'lesson plans' on it. She opened it and flipped to the current date, "Elemental demons, discuss the different types and how their abilities work. Possibly mention common dislikes among the species." She closed it up. "Can anyone tell me what this man has gone over so far?"
Hermione's hand shot up, despite the hatred for Norom's bloodline.
"Yes, Pansy?" She said sweetly, ignoring Hermione.
"Professor Phoenix said that some demons can look like most people think they do, big and ugly with scaly skin and claws and dripping fangs." She smirked, looking smugly at Hermione for a moment. " And a few can even look like humans."
"True. Now, too bad demons don't exist anymore, because I'm sure this class would be more interesting if you had live specimens, correct?"
Rinku let out a loud snort, and Hiei's brows furrowed together and his lips formed a scowl.
"Yes, ma'am." Malfoy said eagerly. "But I'm sure some students couldn't handle dealing with them." He shot a glare at Neville, who flinched like someone said 'Voldemort'.
"Having fun questioning my students, Madame Norom?" They looked up, it was Professor Phoenix, looking rather disgruntled.
"I was simply making sure that the children find the material appropriate." She said sweetly.
"Uh-huh." He flicked his wand and the books that were sitting on the bookshelf flew to in front of each student. He looked at her with a silver brow raised. "Is there somewhere you have to be, Norom?"
"Actually, I thought I'd observe your class today." She cleared her throat. "You wouldn't have anything to drink, would you?"
He looked at her with a slight hint of revolt, but humored her. He pointed his wand at a roll of parchment and flicked it, turning it into a glass of tea. It hovered over to his desk (where she decided to sit).
"Thank you."
"Hm." He grunted in a dismissive reply. "Now, class, sorry I was late, but there was an incident with a ghost flooding the bathroom… wouldn't shut up, either, kept blubbering about how Professor Diablo was going to throw stuff at her."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione nodded in perfect understanding.
"So, enough about that. Today we are going to talk about elemental demons. Can anyone tell me what they think they are? Yes, Miss Granger?"
"Any kind of demon that is normally human in shape and can control and possibly produce a particular element, like wind, water, fire and ice."
"Very good. Five points to Gryffindor. Now, can someone tell me what the most dangerous elements are? Yes, you there."
"Light and darkness." Hagiri said, putting his hand down.
"Excellent, another five points. Now, another important question. Why is it that elemental demons look human at first glance?"
"Because they can." Malfoy huffed.
"Ah, sorry, Mr. Malfoy, but they can't just wake up one morning and say 'I think I want to look human.' It's because humans fear them. By blending in with the humans, they can survive and become more powerful than the others."
"But you told us that all of them were dead." Lavender said in a doubtful tone.
"That's what the Ministry told me to tell you. I don't believe it. If demons are dead, then how is there such a powerful outbreak in Japan right now? Wizards there have their hands full and several Muggles are dying from what they are declaring unknown diseases when it's really the powers of demons."
"But I don't get it." Silver said, raising her hand at the same time. "If people know demons are in Japan, then why is the Ministry denying it?"
"Because the people refuse to believe it. You see, humans, wizards and Muggles, have a built-in instinctive complex that makes them either fight to be the best and most powerful, or pretend they are and hope the true strong ones go away. Demons, on the other hand, kill until they are the best."
"Very interesting, Professor Phoenix." Norom said, standing up. "I think that's enough for me. Don't mind if I think this class I a total waste. Demons don't really exist anymore, you know."
"Like the Dark Lord?" Phoenix said lightly.
She turned around and met his gaze. "Exactly like the Dark Lord. Gone and never coming back. I shall return with your results soon Profess"—
CRASH!!!
The window smashed open, sending pieces in every direction.
"You're not going anywhere."
They all looked at the figure standing on the windowsill. He was mostly shadowed, but the long wild black hair and the limp body with orange hair that he was holding gave it away.
"Yusuke?"
