I wish I did, but I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Harry Potter.


Hogsmade weekend steadily drew nearer and nearer, and before he knew it, Kurama found himself walking with his Hogwarts friends in the small village.

The kitsune tried to enjoy the trip, but it was difficult for him more than other students. Not only was he continuing to turn down more girls to the Halloween Dance (to Hermione's delightment), he still had no idea when or where he was going to confront Harry about his powers. He had to do it that day of course, or else Genkai would probably lecture him to death.

'Here it goes,' he thought. "Harry, do you think we could discuss something later, alone? It's... about the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

"Uh... sure," Harry shrugged. He looked at Ron and Hermione. "Is that okay with you guys?"

"Yeah," they answered. With that out of the way, for even a little while, the fox felt more at ease, and was able to finally enjoy the trip.

"Let's go get a bite to eat," he suggested. "Are there any specific places?"

"The Three Broomsticks has the best drinks," Ron offered. Everyone agreed and made their way to the building not far ahead.


"Special event my foot," Hermione grumbled. "I really shouldn't trust that... that bug woman about jack squat."

"Aw, come on Hermione, cheer up a bit," Ron grinned widely. "In fact, I'd say this is the best thing that Skeeter woman's ever said." He took a gigantic swallow of butterbeer. "You only get an all-you-can-eat-butterbeer-buffet once, you know!" He'd already started on his fourth.

"Kurama, Harry, go ahead and talk together privately," Hermione told them. "I'll wait here with Ron until you get back. By the looks of it, we'll be here a long while." She rolled her eyes as she watched Ron go off for a fifth butterbeer.

"Thanks Hermione," Harry said. Kurama thought about protesting, about not telling Potter all of his secrets, but the boy had already left the building.


They walked about five minutes when Kurama stopped.

"Here," he said, motioning towards the right.

Harry stared, confused. To their right was a solid brick wall. The fox gave no explanation and walked to -and through- the wall. Reluctantly, the wizard followed. When he stepped through the wall, he found himself in a small alley, occupied by himself, Kurama, and three boys he had no clue of who they were.

"Kurama, tell me the truth," Harry said suddenly, ignoring the extra boys.

"What do you mean?" the demon asked dumbly.

"You know bloody well what I mean," he retorted, his eyes narrowing. "I want to know why you're at Hogwarts, and why you were talking about me to the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

"How did you-"

Harry pulled out what seemed to be an over-stretched, floppy ear. "Extendable Ears," he explained. "Ron's brothers gave me a pair." His face was dead serious by now. "Are you going to tell me or not?"

Kurama looked at the dirt ground for a moment, then stared confidently at the boy. "You will probably have trouble believing me," he began, "but I'm a fox demon, or a 'fox transformer' as your Care for Magical Creatures teacher would say."

He turned to the three boys. "These are my partners- Yusuke Urameshi, Kazuma Kuwabara, and Hiei. Hiei's a fire demon, and we were sent here to protect your school."

"Nice ta meet'cha," Yusuke smiled opitimistically. "Your school's awesome. Hate the homework and quills though. Useless stuff."

Kurama went on with explaining Demon World, Human World, and Spirit World. He also explained each of the different energies beings possess. That brought him to Harry's case.

"I was talking to Genkai a while ago because I'm afraid I made a terrible mistake," said Kurama. "You have demon energy in you because I tried to help you counter the truth serum." Kuwabara made a cheap comment about how hard countering the potion was, but no one was listening to him. "You'll have demonic powers, and because I was at fault by allowing this situation to take cover, it will be my duty to make sure that you can handle those powers."

"You're joking, right?" Harry asked nervously. "This can't be real. I just got used to magic; I can't absorb all this stuff like a sponge. Demons don't even exsist."

"He's too weak anyway," Hiei muttered, "he wouldn't last two seconds against even the easiest demons. You shouldn't even bother trying to convince him."

"Harry," Kurama said. Harry felt as if he were speaking to Dumbledore; the fox wasn't raising his tone, or pleading; he was just trying to get his friend to understand. "I want you to focus your thought into your right hand."

Obediantly, Harry Potter did as he was told. To his surprise, he saw a blue light form in his palm. "This... this is demon energy?"

"Darn tootin'," Kuwabara shouted.

"I'm not lying Harry," Kurama explained as the light faded away. "You'll have to learn to control your demon side, or else it could take control of your body and shatter your soul." He looked at his friend. "Will you trust me?"

Harry looked at the other guys, then at his friend. "Yeah, I guess I do," he gulped. "But what am I supposed to tell Hermione or Ron?"

"Nothing," everyone said.

"Welcome to the team," Yusuke grinned. "If ya make it past the training anyways."

"Sounds like a plan," Harry nodded. He smiled humorously. "I'll bet you a Galleon that Ron's puking tonight from too many butterbeers."

"It's a bet," said Kurama, returning the smile.

"Who's Ron?" asked Kuwabara.
