Forever Darkness, Forever Lonely
I don't have a lot to say for this one. I guess the only reason I wrote this was because it seems to be quite popular, these kinds of fics, so I'm trying it out myself.
Okay, there might be a bit of HermioneX Kurama, but it's part of the dramatic scene P Kurama will NOT be with Hermione as the final pairing. And I just might have yaoi... so tempting... haha!
Okay, I think it's a bit late for Quidditch, but I've been trying to find who is still in it from the fifth book. Can someone or some people tell me it? I'll appreciate it.

"I won't. You're probably tired," Kurama's voice was caring, "Go to sleep..."
Hiei bit his lips and nodded. The fire demon flitted to his bed.
"Good night, Hiei," Kurama said, making his way to his own bed.
"'Night K'rama."
Kurama smiled and slowly went back to sleep.
Chapter Seven: Letter
The next morning, Kurama was woken up by a tapping sound. He slowly opened his eyes and found the source of it. An owl was tapping on the window, a letter tied to its legs. The fox frowned. Who would be sending him s letter? Was it his friends? Koenma? Kurama slowly got out of bed and walked over to the window. He opened it and the owl quietly flew in. The owl was snow white. Kurama recognized it as Hedwig. How odd for Harry to send him something in the morning and not just tell him when he went down for breakfast. Kurama pushed the thoughts aside for a moment and untied the letter from the owl. The animal gave a small hoot before flying away. Kurama frowned again and opened the letter.
Dear Youko Kurama,
I'm very sure you're surprised on why I'm sending you this and how I know your true name. Well, that isn't quite as important right now. What is important is that two of your precious friends are in my possession right now. In order to save them, you will have to do the following:
Send back a letter on everything you know about Makai, Reikai, and demons
Capture Granger and the Weasley
Don't tell anyone about this letter
Kill your friend Jaganshi
I will know if you are doing this. I will be watching your every move. You will have a time limit of one month to complete all four tasks. One mistake and the heads of your friends are mine. Send your letters back with Hedwig.
Varry
Kurama frown deepened when he finished reading the letter. Tarry? Did Harry misspell his name or was it someone else who was using Hedwig? How strange...
"What's wrong, fox?" the voice snapped Kurama out of his train of thoughts.
"It's nothing, Hiei. Go back to sleep, it's still early," Kurama stated.
"Hn, no. Something is troubling you. Tell me what it is," Hiei crossed his arms.
Kurama sighed. "It's nothing Hiei. You don't have to worry about it."
Hiei's anger was starting to rise, but he quickly suppressed it, not wanting to repeat what had happened. "Kurama, you know I worry about you, and that I don't want you to get hurt."
"I know, Hiei," Kurama said, "But there's nothing I can't handle."
Hiei frowned. "Alright, Kurama, but if anything happens and you don't tell me about it. I'll be there for you, but after it's over, I'll kill you myself for lying to me."
Kurama laughed and nodded at Hiei.
Soon, the two demons were making their way down to breakfast. They sat themselves near Harry, Ron, and Hermione. From where the demons were sitting, they could feel a dark energy radiating off of one of them, they just couldn't pinpoint who it was just yet. Though, every once in a while, Harry sent Kurama odd looks that didn't quite fit the Gryffindor seeker's features. The glances didn't go unnoticed by the fox; he sent a quick message to Hiei through their telepathic bond. Hiei grunted in response and told him to stay alert at all times. Kurama nodded at Hiei and continued to eat his breakfast.
After breakfast, Harry was heard someone calling out to him, he turned around and saw Professor McGonagall walking towards him. He stopped and asked if anything was wrong.
"No, Harry," the head mistress said. "I just wanted to tell you that, the Quidditch tryouts are tomorrow. You have received a letter saying that you are the Quidditch captain this year, no?"
"I have, Professor," Harry answered.
"Good, I want you to choose who you think is best in the tryouts," McGonagall stated. "Now off to class with you."
Harry rushed off to rejoin his friends and they chatted quietly on their way to Defense Against the Dark Arts. Many of the seats were taken and they were forced to sit separate from each other. Harry sat with Neville. Hermione with Pansy. Ron with Dean. Hiei with Blaise and Kurama with Draco.
'I wonder who the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is,' Harry thought. 'They never told us in the feast we had in the beginning of the year.' Harry heard someone come in and a few gasps were heard from around the classroom. Harry looked up and stifled a gasp himself.
"Ah, I'm so glad to be here again! I know I'm late, but I wanted to be sure I was ready." It was Remus Lupin! "Well, let's get started! Please turn to page 349 in the book How to Defend Against Demons. Rustle of pages filled the room as the students found the page Lupin was talking about. "Good, now, the picture in the book is of one of the most famous and dangerous demon thief in the demon world called Makai." A few gasps were heard as the students read the caption underneath it. "It was over a thousand years old and was feared by many. His name was Youko Kurama. He was a silver fox demon, very rare. Sadly, he died when a bounty hunter shot him."
Kurama was starting to get nervous. 'This is not good. Why are they studying demons now? Especially when it's our first year here.'
'Don't worry, fox,' Hiei's voice rang in Kurama's head. 'They would know anything as long as you use your human name.'
'Alright.'
"Now, please turn to the next page," Professor Lupin continued. "This is a picture of Youko Kurama's partner in crime, Kuronue. He was a bat demon I believe... He died on one of their theft. He had died before Youko Kurama has." "There is also Yomi, Youko Kurama's second. He was stubborn and didn't like to follow orders. Youko Kurama realized this and decided to send a demon to kill him while Yomi had once again disobeyed his orders. Yomi was left blind by the end of the battle."
Whispers filled the room when Lupin finished telling them about the bandits.
"Now, please flip to page 590 and lets of Miss Granger read what that page says," Lupin instructed.
Hermione took a deep breath and stood up. "There are three worlds, excluding the wizarding world, Makai, the demon world, Ningenkai, the human world, and Reikai, the spirit world. The Makai was thought to be a legend by humans, wizards and muggles alike. The Reikai makes sure everything is in tact and that demons aren't freely roaming Ningenkai." "In Reikai, there are Spirit Detectives who help keep the three worlds at peace." "Long before that, the three worlds worked together and demons, spirits, humans, and gods lived together in harmony, but everything was ruined when a demon by the name of Troddam Melovior decided he hah had enough of the dull life. And so, he gathered as many demons as he could and rebelled against Reikai and killed many humans in Ningenkai. For three thousand years, Ningenkai, Reikai, and Ningenkai were at war. It finally ended when King Enma finally got impatient and destroyed all living things in Makai and Ningenkai. Later, King Enma rebuilt all living things and created a barrier between Makai and Ningenkai. That was how the world we live in is as it is today." Hermione quietly sat back down, not believing what she had just read.
"Alright, five points for Gryffindor for reading that passage so well," Lupin said. "Now that you have heard of how it really was in the past. I want you to learn how to defend yourself against demons because they are real." "The first spell is for making a shield. You will not be using a wand for this. All you need to do is concentrate hard. The magic is in you, not in the wand. The wand only helps you control your magic. Now flick your wrist gently and imagine a shield in your head."
Everyone except Kurama and Hiei failed to form the shield.
"Very good, Mr. Minamino, Mr, Jaganshi. Ten points each to Gryffindor," Professor Lupin said. "Now, continue on as I write your homework on the board."
Once he turned around, many Gryffindors asked for Kurama and Hiei's help. The Slytherins were too stubborn and had too much pride, so didn't want any help from them.
"Umm, yes well. It was probably beginner's luck," Kurama sweat dropped at the large amount of students gathering around him. They didn't do to Hiei because the fire demon was glaring at anyone and everyone who even looked at him, except Kurama.
"Please, Shuuichi?" Hermione was the closest to Kurama. "I would really appreciate it."
Kurama gulped nervously. He remembered how be had an emotional breakdown yesterday and Hermione had convinced him to tell her what happened. Now, she probably thinks they're a couple or close to that. "Well, it's really just luck. I probably won't be able to do it again."
Many people walked away in disappointment when he said that, but Hermione stayed beside Kurama. Harry and Ron looked at their bushy- haired friend in slight disgust.
"So how were we suppose to flick our wrist?" Hermione was inching closer and closer to Kurama.
"Umm..." Kurama inched back. 'Help Hiei!' Hiei looked at him, then gave Hermione a death glare that made her immediately flinch away. 'Thank you! I owe you!'
"Hn," Hiei turned away from Kurama and looked out the window. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but we just couldn't say no to Kurama anymore. It was as if the fox's emerald green eyes knew how to manipulate him just by looking him. Kurama's voice was quite captivating. Hiei couldn't help but feel happy whenever he speaks or looks at him. The feeling was driving him nuts!
When class was finally over, Lupin reminded them that he would be testing them on the shield spell the next time they have Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Once they were out of the classroom, Hermione quickly attached herself to Kurama. "So Shuuichi, are you going to try out for Quidditch? I'm sure you'll be brilliant at it!"
Kurama tried to get away from her. "Ah, maybe. Though, I'm not quite sure if I would be good at it. I've never played it before."
"Are you serious, mate?" Ron practically shouted this out. "How can anyone not know what Quidditch is?"
"Well, you see. In Japan, we didn't have time for Quidditch. We're always busy with one thing or another." It wasn't exactly a lie. Koenma always give them missions and school has taken nearly half of his time.
"Blimey. Japan must have really strict professors," Ron said.
"You can say that." Kurama said, remembering how Genkai always overworked Yusuke. Kurama, then, looked over to Harry. "Is something wrong, Harry? You seem so quiet today."
"Yeah, mate. It anything wrong? It's not your- your scar is it?" Ron asked.
Harry looked at Ron with a look that didn't look quite right on his young features. "I'm fine Ron, why wouldn't I be? My scar isn't hurting at all. You shouldn't be worried all the time. I promised to report to Dumbledore whenever it hurts, remember?" For so odd reason, Harry didn't have the word "professor" in front of Dumbledore. It puzzled Kurama and Hermione. The perfect decided to speak what was on her mind.
"Harry? Why did you say Dumbledore instead of Professor Dumbledore?" Hermione inquired.
"I did?" Harry put on an innocent act. "Oops. Must've forgotten." This earned him a few suspicious glances from Hiei and Kurama. "Well, anyways. Kurama, Hiei, would you like to try out for Quidditch? It's tomorrow. Just go to the Quidditch field at three alright? Well, I've got to go now! See you guys later!" With that said, Harry ran down the hall and disappeared around the corner.
Sorry! I'm sooo sorry it took me so long to update and the chapter is so short! I'm having FSA testing for the rest of the week and next Monday! I also have the GUASS Contest to see if I can go to Challenge Math for High school! I didn't know it would be so busy before going to high school. I also had a bit of a writer's block. So once again, I'm sorry.
Because of the votes, the story will slant to yaoi for the moment.

Response:
Evene: Well, I get sick really easily... Ever since when I was a little kid, so yeah...I'm so sorry this chapter is probably the shortest of written for this story... Anyways! Thanks for reviewing!
(happy face that proabably didn't show): It won't be a problem as long as that's what majority wants.
spiritkitsune: sorry i can't count that as forty tallies, but you can vote again for this chapter. D
Queen of the Paperclips: It's not mean. I just wanted some twist, instead of immediate KuramaX Hiei, I thought I would put a bit of Hermione in there. There WILL be Hermione bashing, don't worry: ) I'm not quite sure about putting Yusuke in it, 'cause I'm not a very good writer, so I might mess up when I have too many main characters. Thanks for reviewing!
Crazy Hyper Lady: Well, that's probably true, but I would still do what the majority wants.
Phew! Thank you all for reviewing! I don't believe I would receive so many: )
