Chapter 3
"Changes and Findings, Plus! The War Heats Up!"
Last Time
"Mother! Father!" shouted Percy, fearing the worst, when they didn't find them in the house.
"Out here!" yelled someone, the group ran outside to see the carnage.
"We don't know who, but somebody defeated them before we could move," said a Ravenclaw girl.
"The Dumbledore Army?" one Auror asked.
"Yes," was Dumbledore's reply.
"What happened?" asked Percy, seeing his family and Harry Potter safe.
"Don't know, but we're tracking those who did this, from the looks of it, only two people did this, but we only heard one voice, that of a young man, no older than 15 at best, but two sets of grunts, the second be at least 12 years old," Dumbledore stated and Percy wrote the report.
"Thomas! Take this back to Fudge and be quick about!" said Percy.
"YES SIR!" came Thomas's reply.
"WE'VE FOUND THEM!"
"TWO ALCHEMISTS!"
"IT'S THE SAME TWO FROM THAT NIGHT AT HOGWARTS!"
"PLEASE HELP MY BROTHER!" came a new voice.
"THE ELRIC BROTHERS!" shouted Snape

Reikai Palace, Reikai
"George! George! Where are you?" yelled a loud voice.
"Right Koenma sir!" said George, the Blue Ogre and Personal assistant of Prince Koenma of the Spirit World.
"George! A report has just arrived that Keiko's parents have returned to Tokyo, but at the same time Yusuke's mother had a transformation and killed a human. I've already talked with my father. The human was, thankfully, a Death Eater, that means that she won't be sent to jail, but you are to inform 1LT. Takuma Karasuma of Yusuke's 99th Company and have him bring her to Point Phoenix for pick up by Sukara. Okay," sated the no longer toddler, but young boy looking Prince of the Underworld.
"YES SIR!" George already knowing the gravity of the situation.
Somewhere in Tokyo, Japan
She ran along the back streets and alleys. She couldn't believe what she had just done. She had just killed somebody! Even if he had meant to kill her, there was still no excuse. She ran, and continued to run, but then, where would she run to.
She was at least safe. A terrible storm had forced everybody indoors and not even the common and most stupid of street scum would be out tonight, nor any homeless bagger. She could run and find a place to hide and some clothes to steal, maybe. Hers continued to tear and fly off her as she ran against the wind. They had been shredded by that man's attack and then again by her sudden transformation into a monster. Her hair had grown and now, as she stood still, was down to her feet and making it look like she wore a cape or something. Then there was at least another good three feet or so laying behind her on the ground.
She looked into a broken full size mirror and saw that she no longer had her clothes, as the last had been tore away by the winds and her running. She saw black tattoos all over her body. She had claws and fangs. Her ears had become pointed. She couldn't believe it was her she was looking at. Then she saw another person step out from the shadows. A young man wearing a military like hat, greenish blue uniform, sunglasses covering his eyes, average complexion, and a cane of some sort. He began to walked over to her.
'Is he blind?' she thought.
"Miss Urameshi, I am here to pick you up and take you to safety," he stated.
He came forward some more and then a couple of young women came from behind him and they both carried something. One with blue hair with orange streaks with a much tanned skin and wearing a bluish white uniform carried something that looked made of cloth. Her eyes were a light peach color, surprisingly. The other had fiery red hair, average brown eyes, light complexion, same uniform, but wore white gloves, but had a huge umbrella. She could tell that the red head and the man were normal people, but the other wasn't like them. How could she know this was her thought, but she felt the rain stop and soft, but durable cloth begin to cover her body. The winds had also died down.
"There you go milady Atusko. You are now dressed until we get you back to Point Phoenix were you can find very fine dresses awaiting you," said the blue/orange hair woman, no, girl finally came to Atusko Urameshi's mind from the sound of her voice.
"Then let us be off," said the male.
She followed the three, but notice that the weather seemed to just about die out wherever they went. Soon they came to an armored truck and the four entered, but a fifth appeared and the foul weather started up again. The fifth person wore some sort of black and grey armor that hid his or her entire being very well. She couldn't tell if the person was male or female. Hell she couldn't even smell'em.
"We are the 99th Company of the Eastern Lands of one of the '4 Great Lords of Makai.' The lord we served has been informed of your impending arrival. He is rushing back from England to see you at the Reikai Palace. An escort by the name of Sakura will meet us at our base of Point Phoenix," stated the leader.
"What is happening to me and the man I killed?" she had broken down into tears and the two women beside, began to comfort her.
"A target that you eliminated for us. The man has many outstanding warrants for a very large number of capital offenses. Ranging from 1st Degree Murder to International Terrorism and even Treason in his homeland of the United Kingdom," stated the leader.
She looked up to him. For some reason she began to feel calm. He seemed to know what she was going through. He didn't answer her second questioned though, but he sighed and acknowledged her look as if she was his lord.
"You're a descendent from a Human/Demon line. In short, one side of your ancient family background is Demon and the other is Human, but that goes back about 500 years. Though you're not a half demon, more or less a tenth to a rough quarter demon. Still you will have all the demon abilities that your demon side has to offer give or take the factor of your human side," he answered.
She couldn't believe this! She was part Demon! That couldn't be! She was Human! Born, breed, and raised as a Human!
"Sir! Lady Sakura just got called to open a portal from the Reikai Palace to Point Phoenix, Sir!" called a young male driver wearing a helmet that covered the back of his head well, but the helmet was a dark blue with sea green lines.
"He's impatient as always, isn't he?" the leader asked.
"He's already there, chewing some of the troops out," came the reply.
After five minutes of being on the streets, the truck went off road for about another hour, then entered a compound of some sort. The truck came to a stop with in an old, but apparently well maintained garage. The Atusko saw the building begin to raise.
'No! We're on an elevator!' she thought.
"Arrival of recovery team is confirmed! All personal Ten-Hut!" boomed a female voice over a loud speaker.
The elevator stopped and the group exited the vehicle. Atusko looked all round her, clutching the cloak tightly. There were varying age men and women all around her, saluting her.
"Welcome to Point Phoenix, My Lady Urameshi," stated one of the men there.
"MOTHER!" came a loud short.
A group of soldiers parted as a young man ran through the ranks and tackled her. Atusko couldn't believe it! It was Yusuke, her son.
"My Lord Yusuke, might I suggest letting her dress first and then talking in the conference room," stated a man with teal-orange skin and nasty scar over his right eye. He also had fiery blue hair that was well groomed, though it was very short as well. His eyes were of a flaming blue color.
"I agree with Colonel Bloodwind, Yusuke," came a soft, male voice.
'Kurama?' she thought confused.
"Yeah I think your right. Come mother, I'll show you to your room for the time being, then I'll take you to our new home," he said with a sweet voice, the one he reserved for Keiko or Yukina, but the look he gave her, was a new one that not even Keiko ever got.
August 30th, 2002 C.E.
Dumbledore's Office, Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hogsmeade, Scotland
"Thank you for accepting this position Mrs. Minamano. We have lacked a replacement for Defense Against the Dark Arts for too long," stated Minister Fudge as he and Shori Minamano talked with Headmaster Dumbledore.
"It is my pleasure, I was quite surprised that my husband's last wife was also a witch. That our son would be attending Hogwarts this year," she said.
"Indeed! I was quite surprised to hear that your… OWW! Dumbledore!" shouted Fudge.
"Sorry, Fudge, but it felt like something bit me on the back of my leg," Dumbledore replied.
A knock at the door interrupted their discussion. Dumbledore had requested not to be disturbed, unless it was an emergency. So he called for who it was. It was Professor Snape. This had to be big.
"Enter Professor Snape," called Dumbledore.
He entered followed by a young man with black hair with a whit star burst in the middle. Dumbledore immediately rose and bowed Japanese style to the young man, Shori followed as well, and Fudge just looked back and forth confused, but then it clicked and he too rose and bowed.
"Lord Hiei? What do we owe the pleasure?" asked Fudge.
"Thomas Riddle's head," came the reply.
"Oh!" said Shori, recognizing Hiei.
"Hmm…. THE FOX'S MOTHER?" Hiei shouted shock and then mentally berated himself for allowing shock to register on his face and for him to shout shocked.
"What me?" Shori replied.
Snape was in the corner rubbing his ears. The shout had been very loud. Though he had seen Professor Minamano wince, Dumbledore flinch, and Fudge was also rubbing his ears. Then he heard the second of the two come up the stairs, the young Lady Yukina.
"Brother! What was with that shout?" she said, but then stopped.
"Professor Snape! Is something wrong?" came a soft, almost feminine voice, but was most definitely male.
A young man with rose-red hair and emerald green eyes, wearing a white shirt and white pants with white shoes came around the corner and stopped dead in his tracks at what he saw. It was his mother.
"M-m-m-m-mother!" he cried and ran into her arms.
"Shuichi! My son!" she said.
"Huh, the fox now has another reason to stand and fight against the weakling Dark Lord," stated Hiei, once again mentally berating himself for being out of his style.
"Shuichi, why are you hear? And what's this about you fighting He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named?" Shori asked her son.
"Mother, I'm actually two people with in this body. The Demon Fox Thief, Yohko Kurama, and your son, Shuichi Minamano," he stated. "As for Thomas Riddle, I'm here to stop him. I used to be and somewhat still am, a Spirit Detective for the Spirit World. I'm also a Demon Lord. Currently one of the current '4 Lords of the Makai.'"
"Hiei too?" she asked.
"Yes, my brother is," said Yukina.
"I don't believe we've meet the young lady before Dumbledore," stated Fudge.
"I'm Lady Yukina, Lord Hiei's twin sister and Kurama's mate," she said.
"Mate? As in husband and wife," stated Fudge.
"Yes," said Yukina, blushing a bit.
"Shuichi!" cried Shori, "You've gone and gotten married without telling me!"
"I didn't tell my brother, nor my own mother," stated Yukina.
Everyone gave her and Kurama a look of disapprovement, but Hiei stepped in stating what they didn't know.
"Our father is dead, as for our mother," Hiei stopped for a moment, then continued, "Our mother would approve, but the rest of her village would not. Yukina is a full Koorime, while I'm half. It is very complicated, so don't ask."
"I'm aware of what Koorimes are," stated Snape.
"Same here, and we understand," said Dumbledore.
"I will not pry.This is one's personal business," said Fudge.
"I wouldn't ever try to hurt my daughter-in-law or son-in-law," stated Shori.
"Very well, now that's out of the way, your mother Lord Kurama is the new DADA Professor," stated Fudge.
"I see, I am here to deal with Thomas Riddle. He recently terrorized the Japanese people and even tried to kill Yusuke's mother. Needless to say, we've mobilized in our entirety now. Originally only a few troops would protect the British Wizardry Community, but now, the full weight of Muggle Authorities for the Supernatural, as well as both Demon and Spirit Worlds are throwing their full might behind this war. This is going to be very bloody war," stated Kurama.
Hospital Wing, Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, Scotland
"I-is he going to be fine," asked a young boy.
Madam Promfrey looked at the suit of armor that held a soul with in it. A soul of a young boy of the age of 12, which has seen an ungodly long life. She couldn't help but feel ashamed that she couldn't do anything, but sit back and watch the boy on the bed suffer.
"I don't… WHO ARE YOU?" she demanded of a group of intruders.
Alfonso "Armor" Elric jumped up and spun ready to defend his brother and Madam Promfrey. He moved immediately between the two, but a bright light blinded him and he felt himself get roughly knocked around for a little while. He heard Promfrey try and protect his brother, but she was down before the she could do anything. Then he heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed. Then the sword of it flying through the air, but then he heard the sound of it being re-sheathed.
"Let's go," came a call of a calm and confident man.
Alfonso got up and went to Madam Promfrey and found her getting up.
"Only a slight bump on the head," she said," But your brother."
"What about me," stated said boy, Edward "Fullmetal" Elric.
"B-b-b-b-brother!" Al yelled as he ran over to his side.
"Your better!" noted Promfrey.
"What happened?" Ed asked.
"The theory is that because we attempted Human Alchemy, the attack from that Death Eater mingled with any trace energy from the attempt and well, made you very ill," Al stated.
"Sorry to worry Al, I shouldn't have been that reckless, I knew and know better," Ed stated.
"Yes you should Fullmetal," came a new voice.
"C-c-c-c-c-colonel Mustang?" both brothers said shocked.
