YYF14: Hey, peoples! The second YYH/HP is up! Well, it's not connected to the first one, but I don't care. Thanks, Nekosune, for your review on the last story. Now, I need to remember to do this- disclaimer- I don't own YYH, OR HP, all I own is the plotline, and I'm not even sure if I own that. Just kidding for the last part. ( D Yay, I can do a one eyed smiley! I think. Anyway, I hope you guys like the first chapter. It's long. And just saying, SOME things will be like last time, and some will not. Just saying that in case you recognize some things. Now, I'll shut up so you can read.


As the group was being shown in, Yusuke was deep in thought. Botan had taken him aside before they had left and told him something very strange.

----"Yusuke, I need to tell you something."

"Sure, Botan, what is it?" Botan was looking serious.

"It's about you and your bond with Koenma."

Yusuke blinked. "Okay, now I'm listening."

"Well… you've noticed that it seems to not work sometimes and all in all, it's very unreliable?"

Yusuke nodded. "Yeah, what's your point?"

"My point is, that it's not supposed to be like that. Since you two haven't completed the bond, it won't work all the way, and that might be important if it shuts down at a crucial time."

"So we just complete the bond. How hard can it be?" Botan suddenly blushed, and Yusuke narrowed his eyes.

"Botan, what exactly do we need to do?"

"You… you need to take him, Yusuke. With him willing."

Yusuke's eyes widened. "Botan- are you serious?"

"Yes, Yusuke. Very serious. And that's why, this school year, you'll have to try and help him get over his problems. If he isn't willing, or even worse, scared, when you try to complete the bond, it won't work, and you only get one try for it. If it doesn't work, then the bond is broken and you are not allowed to try and rebuild it. So basically, you have to make him able to openly express emotion before the school year is out, and then attempt to finish the bond back here."

Yusuke sighed. "This year'll be harder than I thought."----

"Dimwit, pay attention. I don't want you to run into anyone and make trouble in your first five seconds."

Yusuke looked up and realized that he was inside the building.

"Oh… Sorry, Genkai."

As the group continued down the hallway to their rooms, Koenma looked at Yusuke inquisitively.

"Are you okay, Yusuke?"

Yusuke nodded. "Yeah… just thinking."

"Well, that's new."

Yusuke gave Koenma a playful shove. "Hey, that's not nice."

"Boys, behave," Genkai said sternly. "Here are the rooms we'll be staying in until the school year begins. Now, dimwit, you and I have to get our English charms put on. Koenma, you can stay here."

As Yusuke was following Genkai back to the bar area where the owner was, he became lost in thought again. What if this school year didn't work out, and Koenma was still nervous about everything when time was up? No, he shouldn't think about that now. It would only make him nervous. Genkai glanced back at Yusuke, and frowned.

"What's wrong with you now?" she asked.

Yusuke hesitated. "Well… did you hear what Botan said to me before we left?"

"Yes. Once I realized it was something important, I figured I might as well pay attention."

"And?"

Genkai's expression softened.

"I know it worries you, Yusuke. It's going to be hard for both of you. It's a new concept for humans, this kind of thing, and it's going to be even harder on Koenma, because of what Sensui did to him. You're only slightly nervous, because it's new. You haven't had any past bad experiences, so it's hard to imagine what it's like for him."

"Do you have any advice?" Yusuke asked quietly.

"Just be careful, and take it one step at a time. If it seems that he's nervous about something, give him room to think it over. And don't tease him about anything. The stupidest thing in the world in my opinion is a god with little or no self esteem."

Yusuke laughed at that, but quickly turned serious again.

"Thanks, Genkai."

The two walked into the bar area, and the owner quickly caught sight of them and came over.

"You are the two who need the English charm, am I correct?" he asked.

Yusuke frowned. He hadn't understood a word of what the man had said. However, it seemed that Genkai had understood a few words. She nodded, and the man took what looked like a stick out of his pocket. Yusuke looked at him distrustfully, but the man laughed and said some words that Yusuke couldn't understand, and then tapped him on the head with the stick.

"What was that for?" Yusuke muttered angrily. "You could warn a guy before you do something like that."

Genkai sent him a glare. "At least we can understand them now, dimwit."

"Whatever, Grandma."

"The charm worked," the man informed them, and Yusuke was surprised when he could understand what was said.

"Now, if you could leave me your names?"

"Genkai."

Yusuke stayed silent, but Genkai elbowed him.

"Tell him your name."

"…Yusuke."

The man thanked them, and Yusuke started to head back to the room. Once they had gotten back into the hallway, Genkai grabbed his arm.

"Why didn't you answer right away?" she asked.

"I don't like leaving my name with strangers," Yusuke mumbled, taking his arm out of Genkai's grasp.

"Tough. There'll be a lot more people than just him knowing your name by the time this year is over."

"Don't remind me," Yusuke muttered, entering his room.

"Yusuke? What's wrong?"

"Nothing, Koenma. I'm fine."

Koenma continued to watch him as he sat on one of the two beds.

"Are you sure? You know I can tell."

Lavender… yeah, he's worried about me.

"It's nothing big, Koenma. Just annoyed."

"At who?" The lavender color got darker.

"No, I'm not annoyed at you. It's just that I don't like leaving my name with strangers, and I had to tell that guy who did that English charm on us- and I've been speaking English this whole time, right?"

The color changed to an amused cerulean, and Koenma nodded.

"It was funny seeing you figure it out." Yusuke rolled his eyes.

"Whatever… well, what are we supposed to do now?"

Genkai entered their room, holding a piece of paper.

"I heard you two, and here, these are the supplies you'll need. You can start today and get the rest of the supplies later if you don't finish. The way to the stores is out back."

With that, she left, and Yusuke looked at the paper, confused.

"This is so weird… Well? D'you want to go start the list?" Yusuke asked. "We have all day, so it's not like we're pressed for time or anything."

Koenma nodded, and the two left the building, coming face-to-face with a wall.

"And how are we supposed to get past this?" Yusuke asked, annoyed.

"I don't know. Should we ask someone?"

"Well, we probably should, but I don't want to."

Koenma laughed softly. "Too proud?"

"Something like that. Hmm… let's try this…"

Yusuke focused his Spirit Energy into his finger, and started poking the wall in random places.

"There has to be a way to open this thing… Here!"

He stepped back from the wall, and it slowly turned into an archway. Both of the boys were impressed.

"Anyway, what do we need to do first?" Yusuke asked distractedly.

"I think we need to change our money," Koenma replied. "I was watching the other people, and it doesn't look like our money is the same."

The two boys entered the alley, and were instantly in awe of everything they saw. They eventually found their way to the bank, and entered.

"What… are those things?" Yusuke asked as they saw the goblins.

Koenma shook his head, putting the pacifier in his pocket. "I don't know, but I hope they're friendly."

"Well, would they work in a bank if they weren't?"

"…I dunno. Let's just be careful."

"Hmm… maybe you should put your headband on. Isn't it kinda embarrassing?"

The color turned to an embarrassed pale blue, and Koenma put his headband on. Yusuke then realized that that was something he could have said nicer. That was pointing out a problem blatantly.

"Sorry. I shouldn't have said that."

"Yusuke?"

Yusuke sighed. "What I said. I'm sorry. I could have said that better. Now," And here he brightened up, "Let's go get our money so we can go and get our stuff."

As he followed Yusuke to the counter, Koenma shook his head. He didn't understand why Yusuke was apologizing, but if he had caught something he had said without having another person point it out, then he was getting better at watching his mouth. That would probably help them out a lot this year, considering that they would be at a school.

When the two exited the bank, Yusuke took a look at the list again.

"Okay, looks like we need to get wands at a place called Ollivanders. So, where would that be?"

"I think I saw it on the way here, near the front," Koenma offered.

"Thanks. C'mon."


YYF14: Well, that was fun. One thought- when I was re-reading this, I realized it sounded like another story I've read. The one where Yusuke and Koenma do the "bonding ceremony" or something like that. I'm not trying to copy off of that, just saying. Anyway, I'll put up the next chapter later today. See you then, and review if you wish!
