Harry Potter and the Dragon's Breath

Makai Goddess Ookami

Ookami: w00t. The first chapter that is only partly related to the original story. There won't be many of these at first, but eventually they'll melt in.

Kuronue: She was procrastinating, trying to decide how to work in all the demons/apparitions.

Ookami: That too...

"So what are we going exactly?" Botan asked, arms folded into her kimono sleeves.

"Well, for starter's you are going to the airport, I have passports and tickets here," Koenma said, holding them in front of him, "and then you will be taking a train to London. (We couldn't get a direct flight.) After that, there will be someone to take you to The Leaky Cauldron."

"What, no magic portals?" Yusuke asked sarcastically.

"No, we couldn't afford to keep them open this month," Koenma replied.

Whether he was joking or not, no one was sure. Koenma stopped in a large room with a pentagram like thing in the floor. The others entered, and he gestured for them to stand in the center.

"Do not worry about money, your guide will know how to get it," Koenma explained, "And we will explain to your parents where you went. Don't worry, I've got May-Lin and here apprentice on it." He stopped to think. "You've got about a week till school starts, so be sure to get all of your shopping down as soon as you can."

"Okay," Kurama nodded, "I'll keep an eye on them so they don't do anything stupid."

Who he was talking about didn't need to be said. Yusuke and Hiei glared at Kurama, but he smiled softly in Koenma's direction. The demi-god bowed his head.

"I'm sorry for having to ask you too do this. I'm losing control on the mortal and demon realms," he waved a hand and the pentagram on the floor lit up, "Demons may be able to come at you. I'm doing my best to keep it from so, but with my father gone for so long, people are losing faith in him. There are not many still loyal, most have gone renegade."

"What do you mean?" Yusuke asked.

Koenma didn't reply. The floor shone brightly and the four teens turned young had disappeared. Silently, he turned and left the room to return to his office where May-Lin and a black haired male stood, waiting quietly.

"Are you ready, May-Lin?" Koenma asked.

"Yes," she nodded.

"I don't know how their parents will take it," Koenma said slowly, but they should have all gathered at Kurama's house."

"Yes, Koenma-Sama," she bowed.

"And the other male-?"

"I shall inform him," May-Lin said, looking up.

"Well, if you two are ready?"

May-Lin looked at her dark haired apprentice who nodded. She looked to Koenma and nodded and he handed them both pendants which they slipped around their necks. Any inhuman look they might have had was gone. Well, hidden by a spell.

"Good luck," Koenma said.

"Thank you, Koenma-Sama," May-Lin bowed. She glared at her apprentice.

"Yeah, thanks Koenma-Sama," the male sneered.

If Koenma cared, he didn't comment. He watched silently as May-Lin and her apprentice left the room, to alert the families to their children's disappearances.

XxXxX

Kurama, Yusuke, Botan and Hiei sat quietly on the crowded train. There wasn't really much they could say to each other. Not in public, anyways. Classified information, that kind of thing. Not that any adults would have believed them.

Though they did fell extremely out of place in their kimonos. Koenma seemed to forget the fact that they usually wore jeans and tank tops in most places. As far as Yusuke could tell, he just liked seeing people dress up. He glared at a girl who was eyeing his Kimono and calling it girly.

Botan, Yusuke noticed, seemed to be enjoying all the comments about her and her kimono being called 'cute'. She constantly had a wide smile plastered onto her face. She didn't seem to want to be quiet, and was talking constantly to a half awake looking Hiei who was resisting the urge to strangle her.

Kurama, on the other hand, was reading. That didn't surprise him though. What did surprise him was the fact he had a book. When did he have time to pick it up, and where did he get it? Yusuke sighed, softly, whether because it was a 'world may never know' or out of boredom he wasn't sure.

But he was definitely bored. Stuck in a plane for about seven hours (he wasn't sure, he had fallen asleep) and now he had been on a train for an hour. And he still had half an hour to go.

Then I'm a week closer to school.

Yusuke cursed, and punched his seat, before returning to glaring at people who looked at him. Another half hour, he told himself, he could wait another half hour.

Ookami: Oh, yeah! Koenma's problem will be explained later, when he has contact with them. And the other male shall be explained too.

Kuronue: (smirk) she's infatuated with May-Lin's apprentice.

Ookami: I am not infatuated! Oh yeah, we'll learn about him soon too.

Kuronue:Is there anything we learn for sure in this chapter?

Ookami: Not really...
