Author's notes:

For all intents and purposes, god's of death from Britain are technically called 'Reapers' instead of 'Shinigami' (makes sense, different culture... different language, hence different name).

Oh, and just in case... this only applies to this chapter:

"-spoken Japanese-"

Disclaimer: Yanagi-sen and I are only borrowing the characters from Yami no Matsuei and Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter books to torment for a while... Don't look for Harry to be appearing at any time in this fanfiction.

Enter the Reaper.

Heavy boots echoed as Korin stepped into the room. Adjusting his gloves the pyro looked at the two Reapers. In his opinion, in all the different countries that he's been sent to... British Gods of the Dead were pretty low on the totem pole. Large amber eyes blinked, "-I am here to transport,-" Korin looked through his papers again for the name, "-Malfoy Draco-san?-"

The blond, who appeared not more than 17, looked over Korin with icy silver eyes. He glanced away again, his face oddly impassive. It was the other Reaper, an older gentleman who approached the shinigami. "-Ah yes, welcome to the British Office. I am Matthew Longbottom, this..." He gestured toward the blond. "-is Mr. Malfoy.-"

The shinigami bowed respectfully to Longbottom, "Itami Korin, it is a pleasure." He said switching to english... and sounding oddly enough more American than anything else.

"The pleasure is ours. I believe you have the necessary paperwork with you?"

"Hai... yes, I do." Korin looked at the other teen, "Malfoy-san are you prepared?"

The blond nodded, but didn't speak. Longbottom took the papers and looked over them, signing in several places and retaining a few of the copies. "We've done the translator spell, so he shouldn't have a problem with speaking or understanding your language. Is there anything else you need?"

"There is nothing else necessary." Turning towards Draco, Korin pulled out a small object that looked like an elaborate rubber stamp. "Malfoy-san, this is your Inkan. This will be your official signature on all documents from now on. Is that clear?"

"Yes." The blond took the small stamp. He turned it over in his hands, then it disappeared into the folds of the floor length black robe he wore.

Once more the blonde bowed to Draco, "I am Itami, you do not have to remember my name, this will probably be the only time we meet."

"Well met, Itami." He turned to the other Reaper, a look of distaste crossing his face. "Is there anything else?"

The man shook his head. "No."

Malfoy nodded and turned back to the shinigami. "Shall we leave then."

"Yes. You have everything?" The pyro extended a gloved hand towards the Reaper.

"Everything of importance..." He stepped closer.

Taking Draco's hand, the two are transported to Japan. "Welcome to Meifu, any questions will be directed to the one who will be your partner for the time being."

The young man's eyes stayed shut for a couple moments as he obviously steadied himself. He nodded and took a deep breath. "I thank you for your assistance."

Sakura petals swirled around the pair as amber eyes gave the young wizard a chilly look, "My job is not finished until you are delivered to the Secretary."

"Very well then." The Reaper's eyes were equally frosty though his face did not reflect any emotion at all.

Going up the stairs they were passed by an older brunette with violet eyes. Calling up after the man, Korin informs him that he should turn left and not right. The information is acknowledged with a quick nod and the brunette disappears to the left into the building. The pale blonde's sharp eyes dart back and forth, obviously noting things and filing them away for later thought. His floor-length robes drew stares, but he seemed to ignore them.

After passing several hallways, they finally go through what looks like an office filled with desks and a strange machine that is making even stranger noises as a girl with long hair stands next to it apparently waiting for it to do something. Moving to the other end of the room, the two come to a closed door and Korin gives a set of precise raps on the glass. "-Tatsumi-san, we are here.-"

"-Enter.-"

Opening the door, Korin showed Draco in, "Welcome to Hell."
