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.

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.
Chapter Eight: Tryouts, Dreams, Problems
Ron and Hermione looked at Kurama in confusion. "Kurama? Did Harry just call you Kurama?" Ron was the first to ask.
"Isn't that fox demon thief called Youko Kurama?" Hermione added.
"Ah, yes, well. Kurama the nickname my friends gave me when I stole their ice cream one day in the park," Kurama lied. How did Harry know about his other name? He hasn't mentioned it to anyone.
"Oh. How come you told Harry and not us about your nickname?" Hermione had a tint of jealousy in her voice.
"I was going to tell you after classes today," Kurama casually stated.
Hermione and Ron gave Kurama a doubtful look, before shrugging it off. The day went on quite uneventful. Finally, the time for the Quidditch tryouts finally came, so Hermione, Ron, Kurama, and Hiei made their way to the field. They saw Harry looking quite thoughtful about something ad decided to ask what was wrong.
"Oi! Harry!" Ron shouted as they ran over to the boy- who- lived. Harry looked up and wave at them. A smile plastered on his face.
They waited for a while for students to come out to the Quidditch field. Soon, they started trying out for chaser. A girl name Rozanne Flourine was up first. She was a second year. Rozanne was fast, but her catches were a bit off. Next was Ginny Weasley. Since Harry had his spot back in the team, she decided to try out for chaser. She was also fast and could easily slip past people. Her throw wasn't very strong, but her catch was firm. After Ginny was a black haired girl named Evelyn Huskshiski. Evelyn was quite good. She caught every throw that was aimed at her and scored eight of the ten goals. Evelyn had an average speed, but her overall was quite good. More people went for the tryouts to be chaser. Soon, it was Kurama's turn.
The fox mounted his broom and did his trick. His catch was perfect; he didn't miss a single one. Kurama's throws were strong, but he kept his demon strength in check. His speed was tremendous! After he was done, a few more people tried out for the chaser position.
Next were the beaters. The first to try out was a Japanese girl. She was in her third year. Her name was Mimiru Akatsuki; she had black hair and dark brown eyes. She shot up into the air and was brilliant! She didn't miss a single shot. Next up was a short chubby boy with a rosy face and small eyes. His name was Alex Randerson, a fourth year. He was slow, but when he hits the ball, it goes flying! That is only if he actually hits it. He had hit only three out of the ten shots that were given to him. It took a while until it was Hiei's turn to try out for beater. The fire demon was fast and accurate, but his hits were hard and the ball flew a few miles out of the field.
When the tryouts were over, Harry needed some time to decide who should be on the team, so he took his notes and things with him to the Gryffindor common room after he told everyone that the results will be out by tomorrow.
"Who should I choose to be in the Quidditch team?" Harry muttered quietly to himself. "Now I know how Oliver Wood had felt when he was to choose players for the team." He flipped through the small pile of papers, looking at each of their speed, accuracy, and strength. "It's either they're good at only one or the other." He went to the paper with Kurama's name on it. "Perfect!" He flipped through a few more and has finally decided after three hours.
Harry gave a tired yawn and began to stand, but suddenly heard something in his head. "Go to Kurama." The boy- who- lived felt strange, he didn't really know who Kurama was, but his feet knew exactly where to go. His thoughts were fuzzy and before he knew it, he was in front of the door of Kurama and Hiei's. Harry felt that he didn't have any control over his body anymore and began to panic, but he could do nothing about it. His mind was screaming for himself to stop what he was doing, but it was all in vain.
Harry's body slowly opened the door, making sure that it didn't squeak. He quietly creep toward Kurama's sleeping form. Before he knew it, a sword was held against his neck.
"What do you think you're doing here?" a low and deadly voice pierced through the silent air.
"With a knife no less," the smooth and silky voice of Kurama followed the low and deadly one of Hiei's.
Before Harry knew it, he had his body in control again. He would've looked around, but Harry was too afraid to have his head chopped off by Hiei's katana to do so. "I- I really don't know." Hiei and Kurama gave him a doubtful look. "I'm serious! One moment I was collecting my notes from the Quidditch tryouts, the next, I'm here! I didn't even know I was holding a knife. I couldn't control my body, please believe me!"
Hiei didn't seem to believe him, but Kurama looked thoughtful. "No control over your body?" Harry nodded. "That's quite odd. Has anything like this happened to you before?" Harry gave a hesitant nod. "It was the time after class wasn't it?" Harry gave another nod. "That's the reason you called me Kurama instead of Shuichi, wasn't it?" Another nod from Harry, he was too afraid to speak at the moment. "Do you know if anyone is possessing you at those moments?" Harry thought for a second before shaking his head.
"But his voice sounds very familiar and it brings a chill down my spine," Harry responded for the first time in a quite a while.
"Have you recently made any enemies that are powerful enough to possess you?" Kurama inquired.
Harry's eyes widened. "Voldemort!"
"Voldemort?" Kurama said. "Do tell me who his person is."
"Well, Voldemort is an evil wizard who was suppose to die a few years back. He has a group of Death Eaters who are wrapped around his fingers. Voldemort had killed my parents and tried to kill me also, but somehow the spell backfired. Every since, he's been after me! I don't believe this time he's actually using me!"
"I see..." Kurama said, thoughtfully.
"Hn, look kid. You have to give us more information than that," Hiei said for the first time after he sheathed his katana. "Tell us what happened the past several years."
Harry bit his lips, not really wanting to relive the past five years of complete chaos and horror. "Well, the first year, he tried to get a stone that will let you live forever, or as long as you have it. He was kind of fused with the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. The second year, the Chamber of Secrets was reopened and Voldemort took Ron's sister, Ginny. Voldemort's real name was really Tom Marvolo Riddle. The third year, Voldemort didn't appear, but my godfather did. Although, we didn't exactly have a very good introduction, he was too busy trying to run away from dementors and we didn't know he was my godfather back then. The fourth year we have a triwizard tournament, which happens every fifty years, I think. I was mysteriously chosen, but when me and Cedric Diggory, a Hufflepuff student, grabbed the trophy together, it transported us to a graveyard. That was where Voldemort got his body back. I told Dumbledore and he tried to tell the minister that Voldemort was back, but no one believed him. Last year..." Harry frowned, remembering what happened the past year. "Everything was fine until I started having dreams of Voldemort's emotions and actions. It frightened me. One night, he sent me a dream of Sirius Black, my godfather, captured in the Department of Mysterious. I told me friends and we decided to try and save Sirius. I tried to tell Snape, but he was too angry at me. When we got to the Department of Mysteries, that is when we realized that Sirius wasn't captured!" Harry close his eyes and took a deep breath before reopening them.
"When we realized too late that it was actually a trap, Death Eaters started firing curses and hexes and us," Harry continued. "It was chaotic! Just when we thought we were going to die, Sirius, Lupin, Moody, Tonks, and Dumbledore appeared and saved us, but not before Sirius was pushed into a veil. That's how he died... It was all my fault! I shouldn't of acted so rash..."
There was a moment of silence after he finished.
Kurama sighed slightly. "I'm sorry about your loss, but are you sure he's gone? There is more to the world we live in than you know. Just like the non- magic people, they don't know there is magic around. There just might be something that wizards and muggle don't know. You remember the class in Defense Against the Dark Arts don't you? There is a demon world and spirit world somewhere. You shouldn't give up."
"Thanks for trying to give me hope, but Professor Lupin said that he was gone..." Harry looked down at the floor, not really wanting to remember what happened the past year.
"Hn, then Lupin is a fool," Hiei grunted. "There is so much more to find out and learn. But a human like you wouldn't know anything like that, now would you? All you do is soak up all the lies in the world and think everything is bad as it is. You know nothing of the things happening outside."
Harry gritted his teeth. "Well! What do you want me to do? I'm only, but a teenager trying to stay alive! It's hard enough for me as it is! Why can't you show at least a little bit of sympathy for me!"
"Hn, because you don't deserve it. You don't know what other people has gone through and so you assume that you're the only one that feels pain. Sure a psychotic wizard is after you, but demons has roam Ningenkai for so long! Many people have suffered much more than you could every imagine! They lose there families right in front of their eyes. There families betray you! Demons taking you hostage! Greedy humans taking what you treasure the most! Have you suffered any of that? Sure you're lost your parents, but you've never seen them die in front of your very eyes!" Hiei growled. Kurama put his hand of the fire demon's shoulder, trying to calm him down.
Harry kept quiet, pondering about what Hiei had just said. Then, a question popped in his head. "How come you know so much about demons?"
Kurama sighed again. This has become quite troublesome and he was beginning to grow tired and impatient. "Listen, people in your world doesn't know about demons, doesn't mean we don't. All will be clear soon enough." Just as he finished, a cold voice rang in his head. 'I'm watching you... always... Remember, you have one month...' Kurama shivered after hearing this.
Hiei looked at the Kurama. 'Hn, something wrong, fox?' He spoke through the telepathic link. Kurama looked at him and shook his head. Harry, who hardly know anything about Hiei and Kurama, looked at them with confusion, but one part of him knew what was happening. The part that he had no control over.
'Hiei, do you think maybe... Something much more powerful than we have ever thought is about to strike?' Kurama inquired.
'Hn, what gave you that idea?' Hiei grunted.
'I'm not quite sure, but everything seems so odd. It doesn't seem natural. I know we're only been here for a short period of time, but this feeling is unnerving and strange. Especially when Harry's around.' Hiei gave Kurama a look.
'Drop it until later.' was Kurama's only answer.
After a bit more of talking with Harry, Kurama told them that it was getting late, even though its a Saturday tomorrow, they should really get some sleep. And so, Harry left with a mind full of unanswered questions.
When Kurama fell asleep, a strange dream placed itself into the fox demon's head.
The air was strangely cold, it brought a chill down Kurama's spine. He looked around the area he was in and realized that he was in a cemetery. "That's odd..." Kurama said to himself. His eyes landed on a particular tombstone that had a snake curled around it.
In Memories of
Tom Riddle
Died 1909- 1955
Aged 46
Also His Beloved Wife
Marvolo Riddle
Died 1913- 1955
Aged 42
"Tom and Marvolo Riddle?" Kurama whispered to no one in particular, but a shadow lurking in the dark heard him.
"My parents were fools really," a cold voice pierced through the silent air. Kurama turned around a saw a man with red snake- like eyes, his face was face and void of all emotions. The man was wearing a emerald green robe with snake designs around it
"May I ask who you are?" the fox inquired with a raised eyebrow.
"Me? I am Lord Voldemort," the man said with a smirk.
"What are you? A wizard, or are you really a demon in disguise?" Kurama had an accusing tone in his voice.
Voldemort started chuckling. "You can say I am both. My body is of a wizard's, but my spirit is of a demon's. You can say I am similar to you."
Kurama stayed silent for a moment before asking another question. "Why did you bring me here? In my dream nonetheless. What do you want?"
"Me? I just want to make sure you do as I ask," Voldemort smirked. He snapped his fingers and a girl with aqua- coloured hair and crimson eyes that reminded Kurama so much of Hiei's appeared in front of him. Next to her was a familiar slick- haired teen with brown eyes. They were both unconscious, their faces were pale with hardly any colour in them.
"..." Kurama didn't know what to say, but questions swam in his head. 'How did they capture Yusuke! Why did he have to take Yukina? Why is he so determined to kill Harry!'
"Well?" The Dark Lord was becoming impatient by Kurama's silent treatment. "Are you going to do as I ask or are you going to let your little friends die here?"
Kurama shut his eyes tight, not wanting to decide between friends. Hiei was his best friends, but the fire demon would haunt him if he let Yukina die. "Give me some time... I'm give you an answer next week..." Kurama's voice was soft.
"Yes, yes, but before you go on to your dreams, I want you to tell me a some information about Makai," Voldemort stated. "My memories have been erased thanks to the damn demi- god, Koenma!"
Kurama took a deep breath and began to tell him about Makai, careful to leave out the important parts. When he was done, Kurama found himself in a beautiful field of roses. 'I guess this was what I was suppose to dream about...' He enjoyed it till his body began to wake up.
"Kurama!" Hiei's voice cut through Kurama's subconscious, waking him up almost immediately. It was still night.
"What's wrong, Hiei?" Kurama rubbed his eyes.
"Harry's scar is bleeding," Hiei grunted.
"Didn't think you would care," Kurama grinned at his fiery friend. Hiei grunted again. Kurama quickly got out of bed and went to the room Harry and Ron slept in. He found Harry holding his head in pain.
Harry looked up and saw Kurama. "You!" He pointed an accusing finger at the fox demon. "You work for Voldemort, don't you!" Kurama gave him a puzzled look. "I saw you talking to Voldemort in the cemetery! How could you! We trusted you!"
"I did no such thing," Kurama lied. "Even if I did speak with him, it doesn't mean that I work for him."
"The two of you were talking about killing Hiei and I!" Harry accused.
"Hn, when did you see or hear that?" Hiei grunted, not liking the fact that Harry was accusing his best friend.
Harry stayed silent for a moment, then he whispered, "In my dream..."
Hiei snorted. "A dream? You accuse Kurama because you had a dream? You insolent fool! Didn't you learn that dreams aren't always real?"
"But Harry's dreams has been quite accurate!" Ron argued. It's true, Harry had a few dreams where it was actually happening int he real world.
"That does not mean this dream is real," Hiei growled impatiently, the lack of sleep was starting to get to him.
"Well, if you don't believe Harry, then it's your problem!" Ron shouted at Hiei, who merely glared at him in return and left without a word.
Kurama sighed. "Harry, I swear to every god there is that I do not work for Voldemort, but you do not have to believe me. It is your decision. Good night, Harry. Ron." With that said, Kurama shut the door behind him as he left. How did it come to this? He never have thought that he would choose between friends like this. Never in his life, or lives.
The next morning was chaotic. Ron was furious that Hermione had chose to believe Kurama more than Harry. Another argument arisen between friends, but they managed to keep their anger at bay and decided to ignore each other.
Kurama sighed. How was he going to get rid of Hermione now? Even though Kurama hated to admit it, she was b...
