I wish I did, but I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Harry Potter.
"You haven't changed much at all," Genkai pointed out to the headmaster of Hogwarts, "even if your grammer's more developed. But that still doesn't mean you aren't as sly as always."
"I will have to say the same to you," the old wizard responded. He looked over to Kurama and Hiei and said, "Kurama, Hiei, as you may well know, there has always been at least one of Lord Koenma's re-cruits on staff here at Hogwarts School. When Botan told me this back when she was on duty here, I spoke with Koenma and promised never to tell anyone about this operation. Once I became Hogwarts' headmaster, Koenma would kindly tell me the names of every human or demon he sent here.
"When I turned around to find that you had disappeared from the Chamber of Secrets, I asked Genkai to summon the people you see before you today. That way I would have extra help when I came through the portal."
"What about him?" Hiei demanded to know, jerking his head to EnLaur. "Why is he here?"
"I've been on staff here since my fourth year," Whitney explained. "I work for the Spirit World. I'm a licensed spirit detective, like your teammate Yusuke Urameshi."
"Why didn't he help us with this mission then, might I ask," Kurama commented. "If he is a spirit detective, we could havve really used his help."
Suddenly Koenma groaned. "Before you went to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, Yusuke told me that if I have anyone try to help you five out, he'll, punch my face in until even my own father couldn't recognize me, as he put it so nicely."
"So he never informed me about you, and vice versa," Whitney finished.
"I figured that Team Urameshi and the most famous boy in the Wizarding World would be enough," Koenma added in defense.
"We were enough," Hiei glared. After all, he was right. They'd defeated Lord Voldemort without any outside help, and it was plain fact as clear as day.
"Excellant," Albus Dumbledore interrupted cheerily. "I suggest we now Apparate ourselves back to Hogwarts, how about it? Botan, Genkai, Koenma, Whitney, if you would be so kind-"
"Mmm..." Harry groaned.
"His wounds are just about back to normal!" Botan announced. "He's got something special, you know, to take so many beatings from the same person."
"Pitiful," the fire demon stated, "Potter is a disgrace to the demon bloodline. I hardly stabbed him, and look how long it takes this oni to recover. He'd never survive fighting with us."
"I would have to disagree with you, Hiei," the fox demon smiled, glad that his wizard friend was going to be fine. "Harry hasn't had his powers for even a year yet and he's already adapted at an extraordinary rate, even by my standards."
The boy's eyes opened some. "I guess you did it, Kurama," he grinned. "Nice job."
"We will now leave for the school," proclaimed Dumbledore. Genkai, Koenma, Whitney EnLaur, Botan, and the professor took hold of one of the five boys.
"Hold on tight," Dumbledore told Kurama. There was an unpleasant feeling of having little-to-no air, and the lungs of the fox demon felt as if they would burst. But before that happened they found themselves safely back in Hogwarts' Hospital Wing.
"My goodness!" exclaimed Madam Profery, seeing Harry and the Urameshi Team. "Professor Dumbledore-"
"I'm afraid these boys need some attention," the headmaster put in strongly. "Mr. Hiei and Mr. Shuichi mainly need rest and quiet, as will Mr. Potter. Professor Genkai and myself will take care of the other young men."
"Yes... Yes, of course," she replied shakily. "Boys, if you will please follow me, I will have you asleep in a nice, fluffy bed in no time." Botan helped Harry up, and Hiei went himself. Kurama, on the other hand, lagged behind.
"Sir, I-"
"Get some rest now," the old man said," you very much deserve some. I'll gladly speak with you more after you've recovered more."
"Yes, sir," Kurama nodded, then went with Madam Profery to his own bed next to the others. He was given a sleeping potion to drink; he was asleep before his head even hit the pillow.
Kurama opened his eyes, then had to shut them immediately. The sun filled the room, so it took the demon a couple of seconds to get comfortable. When he did, he sat himself upright and took a look around. Hiei and Harry were were still asleep, and it was no wonder either; Kurama still felt as if he could use another three days of hard sleep. But what surprised him the most was Hermione- she had fallen asleep by Kurama's bedside. He hesitated a moment, but then reached over and gently shook the young witch.
"Good morning, Hermione," he said soothingly.
Hermione rubbed her eyes. "Oh, Kurama!" she exclaimed after a yawn, "Are you alright? Professor Dumbledore told Ron and I that some students were hurt, so we came right up to see you. Ron left a little while ago to grab lunch; it's half past one."
"Well, good afternoon then," the kitsune chuckled. He looked at his hair: black. He would be able to change it to its original shade of red soon, but he was glad that he'd transformed back into a demon while he'd been asleep. Hermione would have found out-
'But she deserves to find out,' Kurama sighed sadly, knowing he was right.'She has just as much right to know as Harry and Ron, and I shan't delay it any longer.'
"Hermione," he began slowly.
"Is there something wrong?" Hermione asked, concerned, catching the seriousness of his voice.
"Yes. I... I need to show you something." He pushed back his blankets and got out of the bed.
"Kurama, maybe you should lie down and rest some more. You don't look that well."
"I'm fine, Hermione, I promise," he assured her kindly, in that soft, understanding tone of his. "I'll need you to follow me. This shouldn't take long." The witch nodded silently, and Kurama led the way downstairs, outside, and right to the edge of the woods.
"What are we here for?" Hermione asked.
"Watch," the demon stated. "Cyrus!"
The little dog transformer came jogging out of the woods in his human form. "Kurama! Hermione!" he shouted as if he'd not seen them in years. He hugged each of them, then boasted, "I've learneded lotsa new words, Kurama, and I can almost write my name right! I don't know how to do s's very good, though."
Kurama knelt down and rested his hand on the demon's head. "Well, we'll work on that," he smiled kindly. "But you're doing so well right now, Cyrus. I'll bet you'll be smarter than me in no time at all."
"You mean you taught him all that in less than a year?" Hermione exclaimed, eyes gleaming and clearly impressed.
"Yes. I told you there was something about Cyrus I wanted to show you before, right?" the fox demon retorted. He turned to the little dog transformer. "Cyrus, Hermione would like to see your new friend. Could you please get her for me?"
"Sure!" Cyrus transformed back into a little puppy and ran back off into the woods.
"Oh, Cyrus has a friend?" Hermione cooed. "Who could that be?"
Cyrus came back to the duo in his child form, holding hands with a centaur. She looked young, right about his age. Her hair went down to her shoulders, cutely blonde, and her bright blue eyes stared back weetly at the strangers before her.
"This is Aniz," Cyrus smile adorably. "She's my bestest friend in the whole wide world. Sometimes she spends the night behind Hagrid's home with me, and sometimes I'll spend the night in the forest with her family."
"Yeah, except my twin brother try to follow us everywhere," Aniz added. "Byres and Shawz always get in trouble." Cyrus and Aniz got caught up in the conversation, and they went off blissfully, chatting back into the woods.
"Kurama, what you did for Cyrus, that's so... wonderful," Hermione marveled. "Just imagine how much he'll know by the end of next year when you-"
"Hermione," Kurama interrupted gently. "Cyrus... he's a dog transformer, and his best friend is a centaur. They don't care about their species in the least."
"I know, that's what makes it so lovely-"
"I needed to show you that for a very important reason," he admitted. He looked Hermione straight in the face.
"Hermione, you are wonderful girl, and I really like you."
"So do I-"
"I won't be here next year. This is the only year I'm at Hogwarts. I'm a fox demon, also what you know as a fox transformer. I was on guard as a student this year to protect Hogwarts School against Lord Voldemort. We found him and were able to defeat him, for now. That's why Harry and I were transferred to the Hospital Wing."
Hermione looked at the groud and said nothing for a few minutes; Kurama didn't push her to say a thing. He knew that this was a lot to take in. And just like it took Harry time to understand the three worlds, Hermione needed time to understand him.
"Kurama. Shuichi Minamino." Hermione looked up. Her was stone hard, and hurt."Is that your name, or did you make it up?"
"I am Shuichi Minamino," the fox demon responded. "Many friends call me Kurama. They always have." The girl continued to glare. "Look, Hermione, I'm truly-" The young witch slapped Kurama on his right cheek; he stopped. He merely stared back at the girl, not knowing what to think.
Then she sighed. "You know, if you were going to be under cover, the correct thing to do would be to change your name, appearance, and style." Hermione laughed softly. "You rivaled be in every class I took with you, and you didn't do that?" Tears sparkled the tips of her eyelashes.
"You could have told me, you know," she continued. "I... I don't care if you're a transformer, or a secret agent, or anything. Everyone has or does something that makes them different from everyone else. I still love you, Kurama."
"Thank you, Hermione," the fox demon replied, "that means a lot."
AN: sorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorrySORRY! It's been forEVER since I last updated -when was it? November or December, I think- so I made it a little longer in hopes of making it up.
