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.
The wizards looked at Hiei and he sighed "Yusuke and I talked to Koenma, we have some information to share with you." They nodded and Hiei said again "Get Sirius and meet us at Genkai's."
The group split, Raven, Hiei and Kurama leaving the street back to the muggle world and the wizards going to round up Sirius before meeting them at Genkai's.
It was an hour later when the wizards finally showed up, Sirius with them. Genkai, Yusuke, Hiei, Kuwabara, Kurama and Raven were sitting outside, on the porch, watching the small drizzle that had started, talking amongst themselves when they heard soft popping sounds.
All heads looked up to see the assembled wizards in the group and Raven smiled as her friends immediately ran for the cover of the porch. The group moved into the temple and sat down in a large circle, all eyes turning to Yusuke and Hiei. Hiei sighed, not volunteering information freely and Yusuke shook his head and started.
"Well, we discussed the situation with Koenma and he also thinks, from Hiei's description, that the creature attacking wizards is a demon. We have been given the mission of coming up with a way to trap the creature, pull him from the place that you wizards go when you apparate and return him to the spirit world, if possible."
Kuwabara frowned "How are we suppose to capture the creature?" Harry looked thoughtful "I don't think we can capture him in the apparate, but if we could lure him out of that area, then it would be possible." All nodded to the mage, looking thoughtful. Kurama frowned as an unappeasing thought crossed his mind. "He goes after the strongest of you, right?" Nods from the wizards. "Is it possible for wizards to apparate together, as a group?" Harry and Raven exchanged looks and then nodded. Hiei was giving his husband a suspicious look now. "What are you getting at fox?"
Kurama sighed "Well, if a group of strong wizards apparated together as a group, would that not get the attention of the demon? And if we had a protection spell up around the group during the apparate, something that consisted of Reiki not wand magic, would that not cause the demon, if he was bloodlustful enough, to come out of the apparate space and attack the group of wizards?"
Raven looked thoughtful "That might work. We would probably need someone with us that could raise the shield and that person would have to go with us in the apparate, but it could be done." Hiei sighed "I could do the shield, but who would do the apparate?"
Kurama felt his heart sink as he heard Raven's sweet voice "It depends on the strength of the demon, but Harry and I should be amongst the ones to go." All eyes turned to the mages and Harry spoke slowly, thoughtfully "We should request Snape join us as well, then we would have to get some more powerful wizards also. I think we should send an owl to Albus and find out what he thinks of this." Raven nodded in agreement, as did all the wizards in the group.
Genkai spoke "Well, I think we are at an impass till we hear from Dumbledore. Until that point, we need to gather information on which wizards in Japan would be strong enough to help. We will wait till we hear from Albus before contacting them." Hermione nodded, realizing the meeting was done for now and stood "We should get started on that." They all nodded and the other wizards, minus Raven, stood and bowed to the Rekei Tentai and Genkai. "Raven knows how to get ahold of us. I will contact Albus with Hedwig and I will inform her as soon as I hear anything from him."
Yusuke nodded and after a quick glance at his companions, looked to the male mage "Why don't we have another meeting, here, two days from now at 3 in the afternoon?" Raven nodded "I have to work that day, but that will give me a chance to talk to Severus and I will have him accompany me to that meeting." All nodded, Ron frowning deeply at the thought of having to work with his former potions master. "Geez, Raven, I still don't know how you can work with him all the time, he's such a greasy git." The wizards all burst into laughter, although Raven tried to talk around her laughter "Come now, Ron, he bathe's now. And he is brilliant, even if he is a bit antisocial." Hermione gave an unladylike snort at that "Antisocial doesn't even begin to cover it."
Raven rolled her eyes good naturedly and after another round of good byes, the wizards left on that note. Raven sighed and looked at her new friends and housemates as they settled back down. Yusuke sighed "Well, I should go to tell the toddler the plan." They all nodded and Kurama looked at his watch "Oh my goodness, I didn't realize the time." They all nodded as they knew what Kurama was talking to his mother about that night. He stood, Hiei rising with him. Both men turned to look at Raven, who was gazing up at them. "Would you like to come, Raven?" Kurama looked hopeful. Raven saw the uncertainty in his eyes and nodded, rising with them. "Yes, I would love to come."
They all nodded and after a round of bows and plans to talk later, the three left. Raven walked between the couple, they each holding one of her hands. Kurama was silent the walk to his mother's, thinking. Hiei and Raven noticed his quietness and talked quietly together, Raven describing some of her work to Hiei and telling him about her antisocial collegue.
All too soon, in Kurama's mind, they were in front of his mother's door, ringing the bell. Shiori answered and appeared a bit nervous also, she seemed a bit surprised to see the three holding hands, but welcomed them in. They sat in the living room, the three sitting across from Shiori and Kurama took a deep breathe as he regarded his mother.
"Mom, I really hope that you will accept this news and me when I am done. Please realize I have never meant to hurt or lie to you." Shiori nodded, unsure and worried. Kurama took a deep breathe, felt Hiei and Raven both squeeze his hand in support and went ahead. "Mother, what do you know about demons?"
(A/N Wow, I wrote. It's been like a month, i'm so bad. Well, more then a month for this fiction, please forgive me, too much happening in my life right now and took away my desire to write. However, once I got started on this, it just flowed out of me. I would like to say the update will be soon, but with my husband still deployed and the move starting, as well as the holiday season almost upon us, well, I just don't know. I am sick right now and finally took a moment to sit, something I haven't done in awhile.
I would like to thank all my reviewers. Please know that I thank each and every one of you, but my roommate is trying to get me to get dressed so we can go for supper and I want to post this before we leave, so I can't do the individual thanks that I usually do. So, thanks and hopefully I will get back into writing. Ja ne! Everqueen)
