HPX 3

oops. i forgot to spell check this. oh well. i'm not doing it now. it's can't be that horrible. and if it is, i don't care. sorry.

Jordan: yeah, I wonder who sent that letter. I think it only said it was from Dumbledore. Really it's from Goku, I just put HPxOver to throw people off. Sorry, that was mean. Why am I so mean to people in this? My other story isn't anywhere near this rude. To be honest that last sentence confused me. Mind writing it again? Do you have an account w/ fanfiction? I like to read people's bios and see who's reading my stories. I never know when I'll run into a good story either. Yeah, I'm weird. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I'll give you more if you give me more. Deal?

CHG: I'll tell you something along the lines of what my teacher told me when I tried to ask her to sponsor an anime club: wow, that's really cool… no. to tell you the truth, that was such a good idea that I almost used it, but I have other plans for Kuronue. ..wink wink.. mind if I put it somewhere else? That would be pretty funny, and besides, right about now the shock would probably kill Kurama, and I know that you don't want that (more bio reading, am I obsessed?). yes, we love jin (we being… I'm not exactly who talks to me at night .). I'm glad you like the accent. Personally, I don't think its as strong as some people portray it, so I'm glad it didn't seem too subtle.

Sessho-luver: short sweet and simple. Thanks. Please keep reading.

Here's the deal people: I'll up date when I update. That doesn't mean I'll take forever. Weekly or bi weekly, like I've been doing. If there's a hiatus, you'll know. BTW: I don't know how well this site likes my computer at home, so I don't know how often I'll be able to update this over the summer.

There, I've almost completely resisted the urge to horrible and cruel to people. I just have to deal with so many freaking retards, and now I can't take German b/c university students get freaking preference. OK. No more ranting. Here's your shfucking (I like that word, I just learned it today) chapter.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((start chapter three)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

"Who said that?"

"I did."

"No, who agreed with Touya?"

"That would be me."

They all turned to the doorway where Koenma in teen form came striding into the kitchen.

"I was with you all morning and you didn't even bother to mention this!" Yuusuke was too pissed for shock.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know it they would take it." Koenma didn't look sorry at all. "They don't know who you really are, and I want it to stay that way."

"Who exactly are 'they'?" Touya bluntly voiced everyone's thoughts.

"Wizards: humans who have managed to manipulate their energy in the form of spells."

"And why are we going?" Yuusuke was ready for murder.

"Some one known as the Dark Lord Voldemort threatens the balance between the three worlds. Everything you need to know about your mission and your cover is here." He dropped an two-inch-think monster of a manilla folder on the table. "That has some of the basic class objectives and material lists in it as well. You can copy those over with your responses."

"They're supposed to take the job!" Keiko was livid.

"Yes. Don't worry Keiko, everything will be fine."

"It's not him I'm worried about. It's those kids. Yuusuke couldn't teach a dog to eat breakfast!"

"Hey!"

"I think he can handle this."

Yuusuke picked up his list of objectives. "you really want me to teach them Reiki?"

"They already know about their energy and how to use it. You may as well teach them to do it properly. That tell you haw to deliver it." Koenma informed, nodding at the paper. "You may tell them about the other worlds, but they are not to know that you are involved with them."

"And what about this?" Kurama held up Kuronue's letter. He'd found his voice but still looked pale and didn't seem like he would be able to support himself standing.

"Oh, my," Koenma stared at the letter, "Now where would they have gotten… oh. I'll set this strait." Koenma snatched the letter from Kurama. The Fox's hand stayed outstretched for a bit as though he were stunned by the letter's sudden absence, but it soon began to tremble and he brought it down.

"I'd better take care of Hiei's too. I'll be able to find him faster." Keiko handed the last onopened letter and looked at Kurama with concern. "It's all there, guys, so read up. After your mission is stated and a little background on the wizarding world, it's divided into sections on each of your topics." He whistled lightly. A sturdy hawk-owl fluttered into the room and landed on the table nearly giving the skittish Fox a heart attack. "This is Lirin. She will serve as your owl, collectively. She will bring your responses to the school and serve any other communication needs you might have to and from the wizarding realm. She's a very smart animal. Just tell her who or where to go to and she'll find it if it's out there."

Lirin nipped affectionately at Kurama's fingers as if trying to calm the Fox and apologize for startling him, but he was already back in a daze. She chirped apologetically. Kurama snapped out of it and, tickling the back of her head, cooed softly, "It's OK."

"Well, that's it, and I'm off." Koenma announced and strode back out the door, the crew left with nothing but to stare at his back.

"I suppose we should see what this says." Touya picked up the briefing section and began to read aloud.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((end chapter three))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

OK. Here's how the language thing goes. Everyone knows English. Yuusuke, Keiko, Kuwabara, and Kurama went to school and Japanese high schools tend to teach English (we'll give Yuusuke the benefit of the doubt). Touya (I think) is supposed to be British of origin (or at least he is now) and Jin is supposed to be Irish; they speak English too. Hiei knows English because he's smart, been around for over three hundred years and picked it up some how. If you don't like that explanation, Kurama made him learn it. Kuronue knows everything. Enough said. The letters are written in English. Everyone here is speaking Japanese and they do until they get to the school or are talking to someone who is English. If it really matters, the mission background thingy is all in Japanese.

Note: "Meister" German- Master. Don't ask. I just decided that Kuronue was German of some sort.

So that's it. Like I said, I don't know how oftern I'll be able to update over the summer, but I'll try. All else fails, I'll type everything up and update it all the first chance I get. This is going to be a very boring summer.

I also had a breakthrough with my ALATIL story so this one isn't as frustrating. I'm even close to naming it, if I decide to do what I'm thinking of. All will be well.

Liebe sie von Doomschneider.
