Disclaimer: I have recently come into an enormous, stupendous inheritance, and now own HP and YYH!!!! Mwahahahahahahaha, bow down to me mortals!!!!!! Yeah right, I don't own anything.
Possible OOCness: yeah, that's still a weakness of mine.
Chapter Two
"But, we don't know anything about your culture!" Harry yelped, wide eyed at the fact that they would be switching with their Japanese counterparts.
"Don't worry about that! I have it all taken care of," Koenma stated, too confidently for comfort.
"Oh? And what is going to happen? We go to sleep one night and wake up the next morning with all the knowledge needed to make the transition?" Hermione asked sarcastically.
"Ummm...something like that," Koenma replied. Everyone sweat dropped.
The Next Day
"Alright, we have two days left. We'll use this time to further prepare you for the transition," Koenma stated, "Now, to decide who you're switching with."
"Umm, sir, I didn't receive any new information," Harry asked uncertainly.
"Yeah, I didn't either!" Kuwabara exclaimed as if he didn't know before.
"That's because you two aren't switching with anyone. I'd be far to suspicious if the boy who lived started acting differently, and this situation requires tact, something that you Kuwabara just aren't capable of."
"WHAT?!?! You accuse me of having no tact, but assign Urameshi to this?!"
"Are you saying I have no tact?!"
"Yeah, that's what I..."
"I'm sure that there's another reason for Kuwabara not joining us," Kurama neatly intervened, again. Kuwabara looked pointedly at Koenma.
"Well," Koenma cleared his throat nervously and wondered just who he would be leaving his paperwork to, "it also has to do with the fact that Yusuke's just stronger. But you're also needed to tackle the cases that come when the others are in England," Koenma added the last part hurriedly, seeing as Kuwabara seemed eager to prove his worth by pounding Koenma into a pulp.
"Oh yeah, big whoopdeedoo1."
"Well, if we're all done with the who-goes-where debate, I'd like to get this whole ordeal over with," Hiei snapped.
"Severus, have you chosen who would replace you?" Koenma asked a previously ignored figure standing next to a potted plant. Harry's, Ron's and Hermione's eyes widened.
"I have," Snape glanced quickly around the room. "I believe Hiei would do the job nicely."
"Why are you being replaced," Ron asked completely oblivious to the glares he was receiving from Hermione and Harry.
"Not that it's any business of yours, but since Shuichi is probably dying to know, Koenma," here Snape glared at Koenma, "doesn't seem to trust me."
"Oh, it's not that, it's just that..." Koenma was nervously twisting his sash.
"Just that what?"
"Umm, Severus?" Koenma said uncertainly.
"Yes, dear cousin mine?" Snape added the last part with poisoned honey coated sweetness.
"Well, you're not going to like it, but someone has to make supervise Ron and Hermione, and you would be perfect for the job, since you already know what's going on so..."
"WHAT?!" Yusuke, Kuwabara, Harry, Hermione, Ron and Snape yelled/yelped/shrieked.
"I'm NOT babysitting those brats. This is the first sabbatical that I'm allowed to take, and it is not only nine years early but also coincides with the war..." Snape's ranting was drowned out by the others' repeated question.
"Wait. You're related to Koenma?!" Harry, Ron and Hermione asked simultaneously, so astounded by the news that they forgot to whom they were speaking to.
"You're related to the grease ball here? I don't see the family resemblance," Yusuke told Koenma while the three wizards were being lectured by Snape.
"Yes, well, he's my cousin."
"How many times removed?" Kuwabara asked.
"I don't even want to think about my family tree, it gives me a headache!"
"So, what is the Potion's Master the god of?" Kurama asked, earning everyone's attention.
"Would you like to tell them, or should I?" Koenma asked Snape, clearly taking pleasure from the unadulterated look of horror and anger being sent his way. Maybe not so much the anger, but definitely the horror.
"I would prefer it if you didn't tell them anything."
"Hey! Now that's not very nice! As the people who're going to be taking your place, we should at least know! It could important to our mission!" Yusuke said with a false tone of hurt in his voice.
"Very well; Hiei, would you follow me so we can begin our discussion into the different aspects of my job." It wasn't phrased as a question. Hiei sent the man...god, his patented I-shall-immolate-you-and-watch-with-enjoyment-as-your-eyeballs-liquefy glare. Snape merely sent Hiei a bored look, which on any other occasion would've enraged its victim.
A few seconds after the two left Koenma's office, Yusuke said, "Well I think they're gonna hit off well." Hermione rolled her eyes, Kurama gave a little smile, Harry and Ron outright grinned, and Koenma buried his head in his arms, knowing full well that after Hiei and Snape were through with him...
"Ogre, should I die, you are to nominate the trained monkey aka Yusuke Urameshi to be the official stamper."
"WHAT?!"
A/N: Yeah, Snape is probably OOC because, he just is. So there! ::sticks tongue out:: Anywho, I was attempting to write four pages, but my brain just wasn't functioning correctly. Goodnight. Oh, and I know that realistically, a god most likely wouldn't be working at a school, but whatever.
Hey! Whaddya know, it's the elusive fourth page! Heh!
1: Yes, any 'woopdeedoo's you see are property of Samantha. ::bows:: thank you.
R&R!
Oh! And if anyone can spare the time to hazard a guess as to whom Snape's parent's are, I'd love to here your ideas. You won't get anything but the warm fuzzy feelings at the pit of your stomach. Well, actually, I've never experienced them in my life...and warm fuzzies don't, in anyway, shape or form, pertain to knowledge, but whatever!
