Chapter
3
"Now for you two…" He looked directly at them, taking a
deep breath he
continued. "Since you will be the newcomers
everyone will notice, I will ask
you too please not kill or
seriously maim anyone for asking you questions."
He eyed
Hiei.
Hiei scoffed, "I won't kill any damn ningen."
"Good. Now since this is the only meeting you'll
have until you are already
at Hogwarts, you'll only be told once
about your mission." He coughed.
"You guys will be known
to the entire school as demons, so that won't be a
secret. But
your objection will be a bit different than Yusuke's
and
Kuwabara's." He looked through the papers on his desk
until he found a
photo. Kurama and Hiei looked at the photo that
was being presented to them.
It was of a boy, no older than
16, with messy jet-black hair and round black
plastic glasses. On
his forehead was a scar in the shape of a lightning
bolt. The odd
thing was was that the picture was moving.
"It's moving." Kurama breathed.
"Yes… it's a wizard photograph. But
that's not the point, the boy inside the
photo is Harry Potter
and he is part of your mission."
"We're going to have to
baby-sit him then?" Hiei asked, dreading the
mission
already.
Koenma sighed irritably, "Yes and no.
Along with protecting the rest of the
students and the secret
mission I assigned to you, I want you to pay special
mind to this
boy. Keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't get into
any
trouble."
"Why do we have to pay special attention to this boy?" asked Kurama.
And Koenma explained. All the
tragedies that had occurred in Harry's life,
about Voldemort and
the prophecy, his friends and enemies at school, and his
home
life. He told them everything.
They talked about their mission
for what seemed like hours, but in reality
it wasn't.
"Kurama,
I'll need you to perform this mission in your youko form."
Koenma
stated.
Kurama looked surprised, as did Hiei.
"Why?"
"It will be better if you looked like a demon."
"Hiei doesn't look like a demon." Stated Kurama; Hiei growled.
"He acts like a demon you on
the other hand act human and look human. So you
might as well look
demonic if you can't be demonic."
"I can act like a
demon!" Whined Kurama, very out of character for the fox.
Hiei
and Koenma looked at him doubtfully.
"Kurama, I know you can
now turn into your demon form for as long as you
want so will you
just do what I ask!" He was shouting by the end.
"Fine!" Kurama shouted back.
"Can we leave now?" Asked Hiei impatiently,
"You understand your mission?"
The two demons nodded. "Good, then you are dismissed."
Hiei
flitted away like he always does and Kurama walked through the
doors,
his shoulders slightly sagging.
Inside the office
purple smoke engulfed Koenma, turning him back into his
toddler
form. "George!" He cried.
The door burst open to reveal a
blue orge, by the name of George, who was
panting like a hot dog.
"Y-yes, Koenma-sama?"
"I wanna go to bed George!"
cried Koenma like a little baby, "Tuck me in!"
He ordered
stomping out through the side door.
"Okay, Koenma-sama." George replied, following the prince through the door.

"Shu-chan, this is a
bit unexpected." Shiori said. She and her son were
sitting at
the kitchen table. Kurama had prepared tea for his mother, hoping
it
would calm her.
"It's only for a year. And I'll write to
you every week." He pleaded with
her, she had no idea how much
he'd rather stay at home, but of coarse he was
a great actor.
With those large, beautiful green eyes it was hard to say no
to
the boy.
"Where exactly will you be going though? I can't
have my son wandering
around aimlessly. You could get hurt or…
or…" She was imagining the awful
things that could happen to
him. She began to cry at the thought of it.
Kurama immediately got
up and put a comforting arm around his mother.
"Mother…
don't cry." He said soothingly. "I'll be traveling in
England.
Nothings going to happen to me." She calmed down…. A
little.
"I guess it will be alright. It is for your studies after all."
"Thank you, mother!" He hugged her, and ran
upstairs before another word
could be uttered. As soon as closed
the door he flopped, gracefully mind
you, onto his bed. He heard a
deep chuckling noise from the window, he
lifted his head to see
Hiei lounging on his windowsill; his boots, cloak and
katana
stacked in a neat pile on the floor.
The fox put his head back
down. "What's so funny?" He mumbled through the
pillow.
"You, fox." Hiei stated simply.
Kurama turned his body so he was
facing Hiei. "Hiei why are your sitting all
the way over there?"
He pouted slightly, patting the bed space next to him
invitingly.
"My firefly, come and lay with me. I'm so lonely without
you…"
Hiei blushed slightly but followed obediently.
Kurama wrapped his arms
lovingly around Hiei's small, but built
frame. Hiei in turn snuggled into
Kurama's chest, breathing in
his scent.
"At least will be together, ne?" He felt the
little koorime nod into his
chest. Kurama leaned in slightly so
his mouth was touching Hiei's ear, he
whispered
"I love you, my little firefly."
"I love you too, my Kitsune"
and with that Hiei drifted to sleep in his
lover's
arms.

Kuwabara
sat in his living room watching a movie with his older
sister,
Shizuru. He had told her a lie about where he would be
going for a year but
after many squabbles and hits the truth was
told.
"So, tomorrow you're leaving to go shop for your
things, huh?" Shizuru
asked, glancing at her brother before
returning to the movie.
"Yeah." Kuwabara answered though a mouth full of popcorn.
"Huh… do ya need money?"
"Nah,
Koenma says he'll pay for all the stuff…" He answered before
shoving
more popcorn into his mouth. Both of their attention
returned to the screen
as they heard a scream. A few more minutes
passed while neither said a word.
"Did you tell that Yukina
girl, that you'd be leaving?" Kuwabara jumped at
the mention
of the beautiful girls name. With sparkling eyes and a voice
full
of the utmost confidence, he said
"She said she'd write to me every day! "
"I doubt that lil' bro." Shizuru said
flatly. He slumped and fell back into
the couch, looking like he
was about to cry.
"She probably won't. I wouldn't even
write to myself every day." But with
new conviction he shouted
out, "But I'll write to her everyday!" streams of
tears
coming from his eyes, he calmed down and continued to watch the
film.
Shizuru lit her cigarette, taking it in slowly.
"You make sure to get me somethin', ok."
"Got it."
