All characters here belong to the makers and producers of Yu Yu Hakusho and J.K. Rowlings respectively. I only own Raven and the storyline and since I make no money from this, don't sue me. I'm poor anyways. So sit back and enjoy and please review. As always, flames welcome as long as you are polite and give constructive criticism. I can't spell lol.
The five young ones sat in a circle with Genkai. Raven told the group about discovering she was a mage at the end of the 7th year of school. She explained that she was working as the magic equal of a scientist, a potions mistress. She didn't really go into detail about her work, but they didn't ask either. She then explained what apparating was, Genkai seemed to know this but the others were hanging onto her words.
She finished by saying that her old school Headmaster had come out of an apparate recently with a long slash on his leg. Genkai looked at her "You said you went to Hogwarts?"
At Raven's nod, Genkai frowned "Albus Dumbledore is a strong wizard, whatever was able to do that must be strong in magic as well as physically."
Raven gawked at her "How... How do you know who Dumbledore is?"
Genkai smiled "My child, I've been around a long time, as it turns out, Albus and I are old friends from a long time ago."
Raven nodded and then fell silent as the others started to talk to each other, she just listened, thinking on what could have been there to attack him. She looked up in confusion when all the others looked up and at the front door, alert. The four guys stood and moved towards the door. Hiei got their first and blinked "A black cloaked figure." He turned and looked at Raven who had stood at his words and was moving towards the door also. Kurama came to stand behind Hiei and frowned "And a large black dog."
Raven gasped and peered around Yusuke, who was in her way and frowned slightly, that dog looked familiar.
The young man stood staring at the temple. There were four guys standing in the doorway, glaring at him. Well, three were glaring, the tallest, a guy with orangish red hair was looking confused. He took another step forward, the hood of his cloak still up against the cold and the dog at his heels growled softly. He looked down and spoke low "It's ok Sirius, we are here for Dumbledore, I'm sure when we explain this they will relax."
He looked up again and saw to his surprise a small black haired woman peek around one of the guys. His mouth hung open in surprise at this and his hand came up, pushing down his hood, to reveal green eyes, black hair and a lightening shaped scar on his forehead.
Raven gasped in surprise as Harry pushed his hood back and was about to push past Yusuke when Hiei spoke low and threateningly. "If you want her, you will have to come through us. I am sick of your kind trying to kill her." Raven blinked at the protective words that came from Hiei's mouth and felt a warm thrill run through her at the words.
Kurama was reaching into his hair and Yusuke was now surrounded by a blue glow. Kuwabara had taken a step onto the porch, seeing his friends powering up, he cupped his hand and a sword made of spirit energy formed there. Hiei took off his everpresent headband and his Jagan opened to a deep purple color. Raven looked at her friends in shock, and spoke quickly.
"No, guys, it's ok." Kurama pushed her behind him. "We won't let him hurt you, Raven. We will protect you." With that the four guys launched off the porch, barely hearing Raven's scream behind them "NO, Don't do that."
Harry backed up as the four came at him in an attack formation. He blinked "what the?". He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked back and up to his godfather.
Sirius was mad. How dare they attack them. They had come in peace. And what was Raven doing with them?
The four were in shock as the dog became a man in similar robes. Genkai however stood next to a shocked Raven and muttered "You might want to stop them from hurting your friends." Raven nodded and finally moved off the porch. She caught Harry's eye and with a nod the two mages moved in opposite directions. They had fought as partners often enough to know the others routine. Kuwabara went down first, Raven having cast a "Stupefy" on him. Sirius got Yusuke with a Stupefy before Hiei took him down. Harry was pointing his wand at Kurama who had his rose whip out. Raven realized that this wasn't working how she wanted it to and took a chance, jumping in front of Harry, arms outspread.
Hiei had been coming straight at Harry and blinked in surprise as Raven was suddenly in the direct line of his attack. He blinked and wasn't able to stop in time, slamming into her. His arms circled around her, sheltering her body as much as possible, as they both tumbled to the ground.
Kurama stood back, realizing that Raven had just saved the two wizards. Oh crap. He called his rose whip back and stuck the seed in his hair, moving to his husband and their roommate, who were laying tangled together on the ground. Hiei was on top of Raven, his arms curled around her head, his face near hers. She opened her eyes, looking straight at him and sighed "Ummmm, Hiei, they aren't deatheaters."
He frowned and looked up at the two wizards who were looking suspiciously at Raven and Hiei before turning back to Raven. "Are you sure?" She smiled to him "Yes, that is Harry and Sirius, trust me, not deatheaters." He frowned "Mage Harry?" At her nod he groaned and rose off her, a quick look of disappoint flitted over her features, both Kurama and Hiei saw it, but no one else.
Harry heard these words and stopped his slow walk towards a down Raven and the other man, Hiei? He frowned at the word 'deatheaters' and looked up at Sirius who was frowning also. Sirius spoke low "Guess we know who Voldemort is going after now, don't we?" Harry nodded and looked back at Raven and the two men.
Not commenting, Kurama reached down to help her up as Hiei flitted over to Yusuke who was sitting up the stupefy wearing off. Hiei effortlessly pulled the spirit detective up and then Yusuke moved over to Kuwabara, helping him up. Raven was smiling up at Kurama and thanked him for his assistance.
Harry moved over towards her, a bit curious as to why she was here at Genkai's and who these people were. He stopped before her, Sirius right behind him. "Ummm, Raven?" Raven looked over at Harry and smiled to him "Are you ok, Harry? Sirius?" at their nods she sighed in relief. "Good".
Harry frowned at Kurama and then the others "Are you ok, Raven? He took you down pretty hard."
Raven looked to Hiei who had flitted back over to them "I'm fine Harry, he protected me." At Hiei's nod, Harry looked back to Raven "Ummmm, what are you doing here?"
Genkai came forward at this "I could ask you the same thing. You are the other mage I take it?" At Harry's nod, Genkai looked to Sirius "And who is this?"
Harry glanced over his shoulder "Sirius Black, my godfather." Raven was grinning at them both. Harry spoke again "Albus Dumbledore sent us to talk to you." Genkai raised an eyebrow "Due to the problem with attacks during your apparate?"
Both wizards looked shocked and nodded "How did you know?" Genkai smiled and nodded in Raven's direction "A mage already beat you here. Come in to the temple, let us talk about this.
Harry turned to follow Genkai into the temple, Sirius right behind him. Raven slipped next to Sirius and said with a wicked grin "Hi Snuffles." Sirius gave her a frown over the nickname they had used during their school days for him and muttered "Woof" she burst into giggles. Hiei and Kurama followed Sirius and Raven with Yusuke and Kuwabara bringing up the rear.
Once back inside the temple, seated in a circle again, Harry and Raven sat next to each other, Sirius on the other side of Harry. Kuwabara sat next to Sirius, although a little distance away. Genkai sat next to Kuwabara, Yusuke on her other side. Kurama sat on the other side of Raven, Hiei beside him, who sat next to Yusuke.
Harry and Sirius gave more information then Raven had, including the fact that not only had Dumbledore been attacked, but so had Fudge, the Minister of Magic of France and a man named Remus Lupin. Raven looked a bit upset at this last bit, but said nothing.
Hiei looked thoughtful "Could it be a demon?" All eyes turned to him and he shrugged "Just a thought." Raven shook her head "Only one way to find out." Harry grabbed her arm "No, Raven, that is too dangerous." She frowned at him "Well, we have to find out somehow." He frowned "Then I'm going with you." She glared at him "I don't need you to hold my hand, I know what I'm doing." Hiei frowned "How about if I go with you, if you can take me with you." Raven turned in shock to stare at him and he just looked calmly back.
Kurama frowned "That might work, Raven. It will take concentration on your part to Apparate right?" at her nod he nodded also "Ok, so Hiei will be on the look out. Plus being a demon himself (gasps of shock from Harry and Sirius at this) he should be able to identify it if it is a demon."
Raven frowned and looked at Hiei. "Well, if you are up to it, you will need to keep a sharp lookout and it might take a few trys to get whatever is there near us." Hiei nodded and both rose. She took his hand and led him outside with a word to the others "We'll be right back."
They stood outside the door and she looked at Hiei "OK, hold onto me." He nodded and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Is this good?" She nodded and looked up into his eyes and he dropped a quick kiss on her nose. She blinked to him and he blushed and muttered "Uhhh, good luck." She smiled and said softly, "Keep your eyes open" and suddenly she and Hiei disappeared from where they were.
Hiei kept his eyes open, all three of them, but saw nothing as they apparated into the circle. He sighed and looked at her "Hmmm, we should try again."
They did it three times more before he saw a flash of red. He blinked as they came out of the apparate and she looked at him "Well?" He nodded "Saw it that time. One more time, I want a good look at it. Come on, let's go farther away so I can get a longer time to see." With that he picked her up and darted out the door with her. The others had watched them come back with amusement each time. Kurama was smiling at the growing blush on Hiei's cheeks and the dazed look in Raven's. Harry was looking at Kurama and Kurama caught it and smiled. Yusuke and Kuwabara seemed a bit shocked that the demons were attracted to the female mage but said nothing. Genkai was thoughtful.
Five minutes later Hiei and Raven were back in their apartment. Raven was put on the ground and she looked up as Hiei wrapped his arms around her, and smiled to him. "Are you ready?" He looked thoughtful and spoke telepathically to Kurama "We are on our way back now." Kurama's soft voice came back "Ok, we are waiting." Hiei smiled "They know we are coming. Let's go." She nodded and in a blink they were gone.
Kurama had been talking to Harry about Raven coming to live with them, not saying anything about triples or their growing attraction to her. He explained what type of demon he was, and what type Hiei was. He was in the middle of explaining his relationship to Yusuke and Kuwabara, how they knew each other when he frowned and stopped talking in the middle of a sentence. He smiled
Kurama looked up at the others "They are coming back now." Harry frowned at him "How do you know that?" Yusuke grinned "Cause Kurama and Hiei are bonded." Suddenly with a loud pop, Raven and Hiei arrived back in their circle. Immediately upon their arrival, Raven started slipping to the ground, blood pouring out several long claw marks on her back. Hiei was holding onto her, sliding to the ground with her. Her eyes were wide with pain and he was murmering softly to her. He was untouched.
Kurama came forward and went to his knees at Raven's side. He frowned as he looked at the marks on her back. Harry and Sirius sat, stunned by the extent of the damage, while Genkai went to get bandages. Yusuke stood and Kuwabara followed him, going to get water to clean the wound. Injuries were nothing new to them and they had their routine.
