Yusuke was smiling his cocky grin. "So, how long have we been gone? Please, don't tell me you already defeated that demon."
Kuwabara shook his head and the rest of the group was still trying to get use to the idea that the three were back.
"Where were you four?" Everyone glanced at Genkai who had spoken and a soft shake was given between the others. "We will explain it later, but right now we think we know how to defeat this demon."
Raven and Hiei nodded and Yusuke pumped his hand into the air. "Yeah, we got back here as fast as we could cause I don't want to miss it." The group sighed as a whole, as it appeared they would get no straight answer out of the group that had just returned.
Dumbledore and Genkai both nodded, knowing that now was the time that they pull the demon from the apparate space. Apparently this story was going to have to wait till later.
"Well, we'll give you four time to rest and then we can go ahead with our plan." Raven shook her head "We are fully rested. What plan did you come up with?"
Genkai gave the four appraising looks and then nodded "If you say you are, fine. We decided to have all wizards here apparate in a gathered circle. You will leave from a place in the city, to here. we figured take Hiei and Kurama with you and they should easily grab the demon and pull it out into the open, where the Reiki Tentai can dispatch it."
The group nodded and plans were quickly set in motion. One by one, the group apparated into Kurama, Hiei and Raven's apartment. Hiei and Raven went first and Kurama and Harry would be last, to keep communications open between then. They were able to get Remus, Dumbledore and Snape apparated before Ron came through with a long claw mark on his leg, which Raven quickly healed with a Healten potion. Hiei sent a message to Kurama, who informed Sirius, Harry and Hermione that they would be walking. The group settled in for a wait in the apartment. Dumbledore once again tried to get the story out of Hiei and Raven, but the two were shut mouth about it.
Almost 30 minutes later, the rest of the group arrived and after a few last minute instructions, the group gathered in a circle, Harry and Raven on opposite ends, Snape and Dumbledore across from each other. The other four filled in places around the circle, which had Hiei and Kurama in the center. Both demons held onto a mage (Kurama on Raven and Hiei on Harry) and with a swish of wands, the group disappeared in a flash.
For the wizards, the apparate was instantaneous. For the demons', the time was slow enough for Kurama to use his rosewhip and loop it around the demon and pull it between himself and Hiei.
The wizards poofed into the room (Kayko and Shiori out of the room, for their safety). The wizards quickly scattered and Yusuke and Kuwabara quickly jumped into the fray, helping their friends subdue the demon.
For such an annoying pest that it had been to the wizards, the demon was dispatched fairly quickly and Koenma and Boton were able to take it into custody and return with it to spirit world and put it in jail.
Hours later a large crowd was gathered at the apartment of Kurama, Hiei and Raven again. The three were seated on one couch, the rest of the large group, both demon, human and wizard, gathered around, listening in shock to the story that the three and Yusuke told.
When they were over, Shiori and Yukina were hugging Raven, welcoming her to the family. Koenma was silent. "You left some things out."
Kurama nodded "Of course we did, it was the future, we couldn't reveal all to you, that would go against their Prime Directive. What you were told was just the main gist of it."
Kuwabara breathed out a sigh. "WOW, a space station, worm holes, aliens. That is awesome, like a sci fi show." The group burst out into laughter and the wizards had to have sci fi shows explained to them.
The group celebrated their victory and the return of their friends, and the marraige of Kurama, Hiei and Raven long into the night, filtering out slowly through out the evening. Finally, at almost 2 in the morning, Raven closed the door behind their last guests, Harry and Ron. She turned from locking the door to smile at the two men who stood at the opening on the hallway. "So, I take it you guys are ready for bed?"
They both nodded and Hiei smirked. "Last one to bed sleeps in the middle." She burst into laughter and they all trudged to bed, mainly cause they all wanted to sleep in the middle.
And they lived happily ever after... until Severus blew up on the potions lab and transformed himself into a cat. And demons once again tried to take over the ningenkai, but hey, what can you expect?
(A/N I really had thought this would have more chapters, but ah well. I do have a sequel planned for the time they were gone. Yes, they went to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. That will be a bit of a Fluff story. No danger really, just fun things. Other then Yusuke and Hiei fighting with Odo. LOL. Hope you enjoyed. Everqueen)
