Do You See ...The Winding Road?

Ch.1: The Way It Is

It was a cloudless night. Stars were shining brightly with the full moon directly overhead. The city was flooded with light polls and traffic lights. It seemed as though everyone was riding home because the streets were full. A car tried to beat the traffic light by speeding up but it didn't make it. A truck rammed into it causing a big disturbance. Others on the upcoming traffic seemed to have no way out but to crash right smack into the crash adding more to the devastation. Yells of the horror, and screams from the victims could be heard. Yet up on top of a few story building two men watched as the people below them panicked, going ever which way.

"They look and act like ants don't they," laughed one of the two men.

"Sure do. They run away when danger is near leaving others behind just to save their own hide. No honor... no honor at all."

"Well, what do you expect from those humans, those muggles, even those wizards and demons. They are truly blind... Heh no matter soon, very soon they will finally be forced to open their eyes."

"That's right. ...Here," He tossed the other a square picture with handwriting on the back of it. "I want you to keep an eye on him for me...and..."

The other looked surprised, "But... he's..."

"Yeah," the other nodded, "He's..."

"My Lord, my lord. I'm sorry to disturb your rest but everything is going according to plan, all is well my lord and master."

Lord Voldemort sighed out of frustration. He had just regained his full strength a few days ago. He already knew his plan would work; he has been through it a hundred times already. What he wanted right now was to be left alone so he could go back to remembering his final night with his closest companion, partner, and friend. He turned to Wormtail, the one that just spoke.

"Good. Now leave." Wormtail did as he was told. Once Voldemort knew for sure that he was gone, he whispered. "Soon..." He held a sheet of paper and a square photo with writing on the back.

The sky was a bright blue with hardly and clouds out. The sun was directly about the city, indicating it was about noon. The city was alive with people. Cars, trucks, vans all packed the highways trying to go someplace to eat for their lunch break. At Sarayashiki Junior High all the students were doing pretty much the same thing, well almost all of them. The only exception was a 14-year-old boy who looked to be asleep on the ruff of the school. He has been there for quite awhile.

Yusuke Urameshi was lying on his back eyes close and a small content smile plastered on his face. For him days like these were the best. No missions from Koenma, no demon chasing... yeah, Yusuke sighed, this was the life. Well, a life part of him wishes for, the other part well... lets just say likes to fight. Yusuke could have stayed like that all day. He would have to, if it weren't for a certain blue hair death reaper that came floating down to him a few hours later.

"Yusuke, Yusuke wake up!"

"Huh oh Botan what is it? Can it wait tell later I'm trying to fall asleep here."

"Grrrr... Yusuke!! This is important!!"

That woke Yusuke up. "What is it Botan."

"Koenma. You know that he's been really stressed out about something, right." Yusuke nodded remembering that a few days ago when he went to go visit Koenma He was walking up and down his office mumbling to himself. He didn't even get mad when Yusuke had called him a toddler. "Well just a few moments ago a visitor came by. I don't know what they were talking about he had closed his office door. Then out of no where he opened it up looking startled and told me to go find you and the others. Hiei and Kurama are already there. I just need you and Kuwabara. So hurry it up! We need to find him."

"Well, lets see, it's about uh...one," just then the bell rang, school was out. "Uh hahaha I guess I OVER slept."

"Ghaaa! Then where can we find him."

"Don't know."

"Grrr! Yusuke!" Botan looked like she was going to beat him to a bloody pulp.

"Ahh Botan! Don't worry. Don't worry! He's probably just walking home. If we leave now we may be able to catch him before he gets there." Yusuke said backing away from her, arms flying out in front of him.

"Well what are you waiting for lets go!" She grabbed Yusukes' arm and flew off the roof to the school grounds below. She practically drags him all the way to Kuwabara. Botan was going really fast, so fast that when she and Yusuke turned a corner—BAM! Yusuke had jut crashed into someone.

"Damn it BOTAN! Look where you're going!"

"Hey, Urameshi!! Get OFF!"

"Huh oh."

"Geez Urameshi you should look where you're going!! Crashing into people is not polite."

"What! I-It wasn't MY fault! Botan! Grr!"

"Ha ha Sorry Kuwabara. It was my fault. It's because—OH yea! Spirit World! I need to take the both of you there so come on."

"Huh why?"

"Koenma will explain once we're there. So let's go!" With that Botan grabbed both of their hands and dragged them into an ally there she went to one side stretched out her hands in front of her. She started to type on an invisible keyboard. After about a minute a door appeared. Once opened there below them were the many ogars running around with huge stacks of paper. "Well Yusuke get going!" Yusuke sighed then started to walk to the opened door. Then it hit her she forgot to warn Yusuke....

"Yusuke watch out for that first—" Bang! Too late.

Yusuke, in the form of trying to stop him from falling flung his arms all around. It had caught an innocent and surprised Kurama. Caught off guard he grabbed hold of Yusuke to steady himself but since Yusuke was already falling that didn't help much. Then end result had Kurama and Yusuke in a very awkward position.

"Owww. That hurt." Yusuke said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh sorry Yusuke. You surprised me," Kurama said as he got off him.

"Its ok Kurama," Yusuke moaned as he got up and dusted himself off. So far since he woke up his day has been louse. Twice now he crashed into people. "Now BOTAN, on the other hand," he said now glaring at her.

"Oh Yusuke, I really was trying to warn you this time," Botan giggled, trying to rid the image that just took place. Yet try as she might she couldn't but that was ok having Yusuke around always seemed to break the tension, any tension. It was just something about him that told you 'It's ok now. Everything will be fine.' Botan sighed; yes that is exactly how he is. He may act tough and all, but in the end he has a good heart.

"Well, if you all are finished, Koenma has something important to tell us," Hiei, somehow got into the room without the others knowing, was standing out on the door frame arms crossed. The others didn't even notice his presence.

"Oh right! Come on now we have to hurry," Botan said. She led them through the maze halls and right in front of Koenmas' office. His door was ajar. There were two people there, Koenma and the other, who Botan knew was the one who came just a few hours ago. Botan cleared her throat. Koenma smiled at her.

"Botan did you find everyone?" Botan nodded. "Good, everyone in my office." Once everyone was in He closed and locked the door. "Alright everyone," Koenma said looking at all of them closely. "This is a very god friend of mine, Professor Dumbledore."

The addressed man stood up and nodded. He was a very old mad with a long white beard and half moon spectacles on top of his nose. There was something in his eyes that Yusuke couldn't put his finger on. It was like wisdom and ignorance, obligation and duty, devotion and neglect. He was going to say something but Koenma started talking once again.

"He is the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Hogwarts..." Yusuke said aloud. That... that name sounds familiar.

"School?" Hiei asked confused. But it seems he wasn't the only one for Kuwabara and Kurama added, "Witchcraft," "Wizardry."

"Yes," said Koenma the idea of magic and witchcraft had no effect on him, as if he knew and expected such things.

"But is that possible, magic and all? There are no such things. No there couldn't be such things around." Kuwabara asked.

"Kuwabara, you know there are demons, ghosts, spirits and Maki world, how can't you not believe this. Even just consider it," Yusuke said.

"WELL, how can YOU believe this so FAST!" Kuwabara said sort of offended.

"Think about it. It sounds reasonable especially through all the weird things that have happened to me." And, Yusuke thought, that letter I read when I was little. It talked about that school... Hogwarts and a boy...what did they call him? Oh yeah, 'the boy who lived'. I don't know who he is or why they called him that but...

"Yusuke is right," Kurama's voice startled Yusuke out of his thoughts. "It does sound pretty reasonable. At the very least we should let the Headmaster tell us why he's here."

Dumbledore smiled and stood up. "Thank you Kurama. I will tell you why I have come."

"HEY how did you know his name!" Kuwabara spoke up once again.

"Because I told him," Koenma said, "He also knows that you're spirit detectives and about your missions. He also knows information, which will help him on his mission, and in telling him such he will also give us detail information on your new mission."

"So does he know about our personal bio?" Hiei asked

"Yes."

"What!" replied Hiei much harsher than he expected to.

"It is essential that he knows everything, for on your new mission you all will risk everything."

With those words... everyone in the room grew quiet. The room itself grew tense and cold, even though the windows or air conditioner wasn't on. Nobody, not one of them spoke for several minutes. This is the way it is. The way it's always is. Loosing everything, or gaining everything. Yusuke sighed inwardly then spoke up deciding to break the uncomfortable silence in the air.

"When do we leave for our next mission Koenma? Are we going to go to this school? That would be cool. A new way to beat you Kuwabara, and no way you can win," Yusuke smirked.

"Yeah right Urameshi! You beat me, HA! Even at this so called magic school."

"Humph!! I'll like to see you try!"

"Alright come on then let's fight right now!"

"Fine I'll show you!"

"Hey now's not the time to fight you guys," Kurama tried to reason with them. "Maybe after words, but not right now!"

"Hmmm... Just let them be." Hiei said slightly amused. He liked to see the big idiot make a fool of himself.

Botan giggled knowing full well that Yusuke said the magic words as always to break the tension. Yet it doesn't matter what Yusuke says for it won't erase the words that Koenma uttered. After this little fight they'll have to come back to reality. But, Botan thought, even for a short time of bliss after those strong changing words it's worth it.
