YYF14: Okay, I'm really sorry that I haven't updated in a while, and that this chapter isn't very long, but I've been getting writer's block on this story 'cause I'm working on others, and I've been busy with doctor appointments and such. Check ups, of course. I'm not sick. Oh, and me and my brothers caught a mouse a few days ago! It was really cute, and we took it outside, but it ended up dying. Aw... Anyway, I'll try to get back on track with this story, and I might post some other stories at the same time. I got to see the Pirates of the Caribbean movies 1 and 2, and now I'm writing a crossover with that and YYH. Well, I guess I should stop talking now. Hope you guys like this chapter!
-Tuesday, September 30-
The students received their new schedules at breakfast, and the Gryffindors were disappointed to find that they were having many of their classes with the Slytherins.
"So, what's the first class we have today?" Yusuke asked Harry. He and Koenma again had the same classes as Harry and Ron, which they were grateful for. At least they would be with their friends to share the agony of learning with the Slytherins.
"Um… Care of Magical Creatures," Harry said, reading off of his list.
"Okay. Outside, then!"
As the group waited for Hagrid to arrive, Ron started a conversation about demons with Yusuke.
"Are there any other demons here besides you, Yusuke?"
"You mean in this world? Yeah, there's a lot. But don't worry, most of 'em are good. If they're not, that's what me and my friends are for. When Koenma finds a bad demon, he sends the four of us out to take care of it. Two of my friends are demons, actually."
As he continued to talk, Malfoy, who had been listening, smirked. There was a demon at school? If he told his father, and his father brought it up to the school governors, he could get the two annoying kids into deep trouble.
"So… you're a demon?" he drawled lazily, coming into their view. Yusuke growled.
"Shut up, Malfoy."
"Why should I? The rest of the class deserves to know. Y'know, we should be learning about you in this class, not normal creatures."
"You saying I'm not normal?"
"It seems that demons aren't very intelligent."
Koenma took a step towards Malfoy, but Yusuke held him back.
"Don't, Koenma. He's not worth it."
Malfoy laughed. "So demons are stupid and gay! Oh, what a wonderful combination!"
Yusuke could feel his face burn, and he saw Koenma blushing as well. He hadn't told his friends about him and Koenma, but now it seemed he'd have to. Well, if he was going to tell anyway, he might as well get rid of his anger.
"I'm not gay," he said heatedly. He saw Koenma's expression sadden slightly, so he quickly added, "I just happen to not like a girl."
By now, half the class was listening in and watching. Malfoy scowled.
"Prove it, then," he snapped. "Prove you like him and you're not just being an idiot."
-Yusuke, you're not serious.-
-Sure I am, K-chan. Just don't make it too deep.-
Yusuke kissed Koenma gently, evoking startled gasps from the other students. Suddenly, Koenma deepened it unconsciously, and Yusuke blinked.
-K-chan… I told you not to- aw, hell, give 'em a show!-
Koenma hesitated for a moment and pulled back. He wasn't sure if Yusuke was going to like what he asked for. The week before, Yusuke had gotten embarrassed after they did the same thing he was asking him to do now.
-C'mon, K-chan, you got me started, now finish it!-
-Yusuke, look at the others. I don't think they took this well.-
Yusuke first looked at his friends, who had shocked expressions on their faces. His gaze slowly traveled over the other students, who all had some kind of shocked or disgusted look on their face. Malfoy was one of the disgusted, but he also looked amused.
"Well, that proved that," he remarked. "Is your friend a demon, too? If he's with you, he probably is. How else would he like you?"
Koenma glared at him. "I'm not a demon," he said, trying to stay calm. "But I'm not human, either. And who needs a stupid human tradition to validate love?" (A:N: I took this line from the author Chrissy Sky from Mediaminer. org. Not an exact quote, but she made the basis of it, and I liked it.)
Thankfully, Hagrid came out of his hut then, ready to start the class. The tension still lingered in the air, though, and Yusuke spent half his time glaring at Malfoy. All they were doing in the class was learning about unicorns from what their books had in them, as it seemed that they weren't allowed to have unicorns on school grounds.
-----
The next class was Defense Against the Dark Arts. During the whole class, in which Genkai lectured them on demons, no one came near Yusuke or Koenma. Not even their friends.
After the class, Yusuke ran to catch up with Harry.
"Harry, I know it's weird, but why're you guys ignoring us?"
Harry didn't respond, and Yusuke stopped to wait for Koenma.
"I don't think they're going to help us anymore," Yusuke muttered. He took out his schedule and looked at it. "Potions. Just great. Now Malfoy gets to torture us."
"Just c'mon, Yusuke," Koenma said softly. "We'll deal with it when it happens."
The two headed toward the classroom, highly convinced that it wouldn't be a pleasant hour they were about to endure.
YYF14: Well, even thought it was a short chapter, I hope you guys liked it, and I really will try to get one up soon. The next class will be fun to write, so it might not take me as long. See you guys later, and review if you wish!
