Chapter 8: Enter the Koorime

When Ron and Hermione reached the Great Hall after looking for Harry in the common room they were surprised to see that he was already eating breakfast. Then they noticed who he was sitting with. They stormed up to Harry and Sakura just in time to catch the tail end of their conversation.

"Are you sure you're alright Sakura, you looked really pale last night when the professor brought you in." Harry asked while keeping a close eye on her. "Hai, 'arry-kun, I'm fine, I was just tired is all, and right now I'm hungry." Sakura smiled before returning to eating.

"Harry get away from her, she's a monster remember" Ron hissed in Harry's ear. Sakura, having heard what Ron said replied. "I don't care what you think, a monster is determined by what one does not what one is born as or made. Do you think Lupin is a monster because he is a werewolf. I can't change what I am, but I can make the best of it. Now if you don't mind I have divination next, are you coming Harry-kun?" "Sure, why not." Harry smiled and escorted her to the Divination classroom.

When they arrived Firenze told them to sit down on the grass and try to read the stars. Twenty minutes into the class Sakura asked Firenze to check what she was seeing. She pointed to a red star that was moving behind the planet Venus and two other stars. Firenze looked from her to the sky then back again and asked her what she saw.

"The war will end when the power of three in one awakens." Sakura stated while everyone else stared at her. "Yes that is what we have seen as well. Who has taught you how to read the skies child?" Firenze replied. "My Mother was teaching me, but she died so we never got to finish." Sakura told him, eyes lowered. "My child, what was your Mother, to know the ways of the skies?" He asked intently. Sakura looked up at him and replied, 'She was a youkai', just as the bell rang. Sakura and Harry filed out with the rest of the class. Ron followed them reluctantly to their next class, seeing as he also had Charms. They were the only ones in the hallway, or they thought they were.

"You think you're all high and mighty don't you." Malfoy sneered from behind them. Harry whipped around and glared at Malfoy, daring him to try anything. They were just about to start cursing each other when a voice called out of nowhere "Leave them alone".

"Oh I'm soo scared." Malfoy sneered. "Who is it hiding in the shadows for you Potter. They don't seem real brave to me. They won't even come out here where I can see them." "I'm right behind you baka ningen." The voice replied. Malfoy swung around to come face to face with a short guy (and I mean short) with foot high black and white hair. "Oh yah, and what are you going to do about it shrimp." Malfoy laughed. In reply he grabbed Malfoy by the neck and lifted him up off the ground. "If you ever harm Sakura or her friends there will be hell to pay." Dropping Malfoy on the ground he asked 'got it'. Malfoy stammered out a reply and quickly scampered off.

"You smell like Kurama, who are you?" Sakura asked, sniffing the air. "You will find out later. I will leave now." he replied, and with that he was gone.

"Who was that Sakura?" Harry asked in a daze. "I don't care as long as he's on our side." Ron replied "Oh so you like me now huh, well I know how we can find out." "How?"-Ron and Harry

"Kurama-kun's got some 'splainin to do."

They went to professor Kurama's room where he explained that it was Hiei that had helped them. Afterwards he escorted them to Charms telling Flitwick that they had been talking with him and left them to their class.
