AN: hi! Sorry this took so long! I have so many projects due. . .ahh. . .. I hate high school! Okies, for those of you who don't understand, Harry and Kurama are the same person.I will use both names interchangeably, but when Kurama is in Shuuichi's, Youko's, or kitsune form, I will use Kurama. . .Harry, is probably more when he's around or interacting with ppl who consider him "Harry". . .hope that clears up some confusion! ^^ For people that don't understand why Kurama, Hiei and Yusuke can speak English, I've decided that the A or S class youkai can hear one language, and know how to speak it. The weaker you are, the less you understand, so low A class would have a very strong accent and have trouble understanding and learning new languages, while high S class like Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke, Mukuro, and Yomi can understand and speak any language they hear fluently.

"That's two too many," Kurama muttered. Kurama looked worriedly between Draco and Dumbledore. Both were staring at them, one with plain curiosity, and one with slight suspicion. "Gomen, Hiei, I'll talk to you later. . . the Fighting Tree." Kurama said in rapid Japanese, shooting glances at Dumbledore and Draco. They both appeared to be slightly confused, which Kurama wasn't sure if he should be happy for. Hiei narrowed his eyes, but nodded, and walked calmly out the door.

Harry stared out after him, fighting to keep all emotion off his face. He was torn between running after him, and going back to his table. Finally, common sense won out, and he walked back to Gryffindor table, before sitting down between Ron and Hermione, seemingly oblivious to the entire occupants of the Hall who was staring at him. He looked up, and sighed exasperatedly. "What?" he asked, a hint of irritation entering his voice. "I was just hit by Yusuke's Rei Gun, which hurts a lot more that I let on, and then slapped by my best friend. I'm exhausted and hungry. Can I eat?" He asked gently, his voice never rising, sounding like the same collected Harry they've known, but to those who knew him well, the smile on his face was obviously forced. The chatter slowly rose again, but this time, almost everyone was talking about Harry Potter, and the two guests, especially, the one that had just left the Great Hall.

"Headmaster," McGonagall said softly.

"What is it, Minerva?" Dumbledore leaned towards his Deputy Headmistress.

"Harry's shield. Wasn't it strange? It should be impossible to create shields of different colors. Your shield is one color, and only one color your entire life," Minerva said in a low voice, looking strangely at the Boy-who-lived.

"And, and both shields were able to resist multiple curses and hexes. Only the one that formed first should have been that strong. Wait. . .he only said one spell, how was it that two shields formed? Is there something you're not telling us?" Snape hissed at Dumbledore, sneering at anyone who dared look at him.

Dumbledore slowly shook his head, staring at Harry. "Perhaps there is more to young Potter that we thought."

Harry sighed. Damn. He should have been more careful. He resisted the urge to let his head fall forward into his mashed potatoes, and looked around. Stormy green met soft grey, and Harry smiled softly. Belatedly, he remembered that Draco or Dumbledore might have understood what Harry meant when he told Hiei to meet him by the "Fighting Tree". Oh well, Draco doesn't have an invisibility cloak, and with Hiei's eyes, and his if he extends his youki, they will see anyone that comes near them. Besides, most people give the Willow a wide berth anyways. Dumbledore probably wouldn't give them the time of day. After all, he was just talking to an old friend. He gave Draco a reassuring smile, when he found himself the target of two pairs of lasers, one cobalt, and one chocolate.

"Harry. . ." growled Hermione uncharacteristically. "Who was that and what did he do to you?"

"And what did you guys say? What was Malfoy going on about?" Ron cut in.

"Uhh. . .is there anyway I can get out of this without answering you guys?" Harry asked timidly, chuckling nervously. He glanced around him. He was surrounded by the Gryffindors. Good tactic, but they left one place clear. He kept his eyes on that open spot, as he waited for an answer.

"Nope."

"Oh. Well. . .igottagoseeyouguyslater!" Rushing that out, he dashed towards the hole, making sure to stay in control of his speed to just slightly below human max, so that he didn't raise any suspicions.

"Harry!" The annoyed shout echoed out behind him as he dashed out the Hall, laughing merrily. The Gryffindors looked at each other, before Hermione broke the silence.

"Who knew Harry could run that fast?"
