Eliew-Thank you for correcting my mistakes. I like it when people read my stories and have something constructive to say. For the most part, you're right. My head is writing the story as I type it and sometimes my head goes faster than my fingers can type. I truly do need a Beta, but no one wants to help me so…I hope these changes and spelling corrections meet with your approval. LOL! 

Means Japanese

Yusuke was surprised. Normally, he'd be bored very quickly during a mission if they weren't fighting, but as he, Genkai, and Kurama continued to buy his and Kurama's school supplies, he found himself very interested still.

"You know, if our schools were as interesting as the wizarding school is, I don't think I would have tried to skip so many times." He announced with a sheepish grin as they entered another shop. This one was called Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands Since 382 B.C. When they got inside they saw row after row and column after column of black and white boxes.

Kurama smiled at him and said, "Yes, this does seem to be a place that could eternally hold your interest. Perhaps we should have had a mission like this earlier?"

Yusuke frowned with a teasing glint in his eyes as he stuck his tongue out at the fox. Genkai rolled her eyes and sat down.

Before they could ask her what was going on, an old man with pure white hair and silvery eyes appeared behind Yusuke and said, "It has been some time since I've seen a demon as powerful as you."

Yusuke and Kurama jumped a good two feet into the air and both readied their weapons.

Genkai chuckled and said, "Calm down, he's Mr. Ollivander."

"You mean, he's the wand maker!" shouted Yusuke with wide eyes as he added in a demanding tone, "I didn't even feel him! How'd he do that?"

Mr. Ollivander looked at him and said, "I learned a few tricks from a few demon friends of mine. You look like my oldest friend. I heard he died a couple years back. Perhaps you knew him, Raizen, was his name."

Yusuke paled slightly and confirmed, "Lord Raizen of the Toushin?"

"Yes, that was he. Why do you look so much like him?"

Yusuke cleared his throat and answered, "He was my father."

Mr. Ollivander blinked and said, "Oh, well then, let's get you some wands. Prince Ko-Enma sent me a letter and some special supplies to make you your wands. As I was asked, I've made these wands especially for the two of you. I'm interested to see how these elements interact with one another. Which one of you wishes to go first?"

Kurama saw how pale his friend was still and volunteered, "I shall."

"Ah, you are a Kitsune (Fox Demon). Very well then, this one belongs to you. It is ten and a half inches, made of Rose Wood, and a silver hair from the most powerful Silver Kitsune in history-Youko Kurama."

He handed the wand to the shocked young man. Kurama mindlessly took it.

Mr. Ollivander waited for a moment and said, "Well go on, and give it a wave."

Kurama blinked and did as he was told. A silver light with hint of green light and rose petals appeared as he felt a warmth-not unlike his own Youki (Demon energy)- spread through him.

"Very nice, that shall be seven galleons."

Yusuke stepped forward and waited as Mr. Ollivander handed him a wand and said, "This is eleven and a half inches, Sakura wood, with the tail feather of a blue phoenix-this is a very powerful mix since I thought blue phoenixes, the most noble and most powerful of all Phoenixes, were extinct. Go on, and give it a wave."

Yusuke took a deep breath and waved the wand. It glowed blue and warmth spread through him that made him smile. Also tiny little bursts of blue light exploded in the air that looked like fireworks.

"Bravo! I must see what else you two can do later. But for now, that'll be seven galleons as well."

As they paid for the custom made wands, the three exited the shop and Genkai said, "Our last stop is the pet shop for our owls. Let's hurry up and go back to you-know-where."

Very quickly the three bought their owls. Genkai's was black with a white spot on its chest. Yusuke's was white and had a hint of black feathers and Kurama's was golden with deep brown feathers. The owl's names were Kuro (Black), Gin (Silver), and Shuuichi, named after Kurama's little brother back in Japan.

They quickly made it back to Head Quarters and Yusuke said as they settled into the Library, "Let's make a deal Grandma. If we work extra hard on our revisions, can we have a few hours off tomorrow to explore on our own?"

Genkai frowned slightly and as Hermione, Ron, and Ginny entered said, "Let's see how well your revisions go first, nitwit."

Genkai looked at the four student's and said, "You may stay too if you wish. This revision will probably help you too, but you must remain quite. My student's must translate three different languages for revisions and need to concentrate. Understand? And you girl, with the brown hair, who are you?"

Hermione, who had just recently arrived, sat up straighter and said, "My name is Hermione Granger Professor Genkai. I arrived a few hours ago while you and your students were in Diagon Alley. I would like to sit in and review as well if I could. I promise not to make to much noise."

Genkai snorted slightly and said, "Just Master Genkai, girl; none of that professor stuff. Very well then, just make sure you are quiet. Okay you two, what's the spell for levitation?"

Kurama and Yusuke glanced at one another as Yusuke said; "The Japanese word is lift so in English it is lift."

Kurama nodded and said, "Then in Latin it should be Leviosa so…Wingardium Leviosa should be the levitation spell."

Yusuke took out his wand, pointed it at a chair and said, "Wingardium Leviosa!" The chair floated easily into the air.

For the next six hours, Genkai drilled Yusuke and Kurama endlessly on any and all things she could think of that was related to the Western Wizarding World. Hermione, Ron, and Ginny were tired by the third hour and were amazed that Yusuke and Kurama could still focus!

As Dumbledore arrived, Genkai glanced up at him and said, "Okay, we're done for now, but first I want you two to tell me about and what is needed to make the Viritasirum Potion."

Yusuke groaned as he held his head. He had a headache. Kurama closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He too was in pain, but this was the last revision for today.

"Viritasirum or the Truth Potion was invented in 1345 A.D. by a man named Lord Bellion Virita in Italy. He wanted a way to make sure that his council was loyal to only him. So, he spent ten years perfecting a potion that would force the drinker to tell only the truth. The only antidote is called Loquorsirum or the Potion of Speech. It makes the person speak normally again."

Yusuke growled and said, "Thank you, now I have the hard part…to make the potion you need a full month to brew it. The main ingredient is the blood of a willing unicorn. This makes the potion very valuable and hard to make since unicorns are hardly ever willing to offer their blood to anyone. First, you set up your cauldron and fire setting it a standard warmth temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit. You need a half a cauldron of water-heat for one-day straight starting at six in the morning to six in the morning the next day. By the second day you should have a forth a cauldron of water. Then you add five eyes of newts all the while stirring in a clockwise fashion. Once that sets for five minutes-one minute for every eye added- you add half the vial of unicorns blood. You must let it sit in the sun and moonlight for a full week to the minute. On the second week you add five scales of an Opal-Eye dragon, ten bat wings, and Barley leaves cut up into fine strips of equal size (One inch). Once everything has been added, stir the cauldron one hundred times in a clockwise fashion and then one hundred times more in a counter-clockwise fashion followed by fifty stirs clockwise and counter-clockwise (alternating the stirs clock/counter/clock/counter). When this is finished, wait another week, and add the last half of the unicorn's blood. Stir and heat at one hundred degrees Fahrenheit. On the last week, you need to add, three hairs from a unicorn, ten tears from a phoenix, and let it sit for one week OFF the fire. At the end of the month, poor it into safe vials, and placed somewhere cool so it will remain potent for a long time."

When he was finished, he opened his eyes and demanded hotly, "NOW can we go an eat Grandma!"

She smiled slightly and said, "Yes idiot, fox, go an eat. I expect you to be up early tomorrow. We still have a lot of revisions to go through and if you're lucky I might help alleviate that headache you two have."

The two groaned but got up and silently exited the Library where Dumbledore and the three students were watching in amazement.

Hermione couldn't believe it. Those two knew more about potions, charms, and defensive spells, enchantments, curses, and counters than even she did. They even knew the history of each and every one made!

She glanced at Genkai and asked softly, "Will we be made to know information like this, this term, at Hogwarts?"

Genkai snorted and said, "I don't expect you all to know everything about your magics. It's been much to long and you all think magic is just something to wave around and have fun with. I WILL expect you to know everything about Defensive spells, curses, blocks, and muggle means of protection. I WON'T make this and easy class. But, if you work hard, TRY, and not make me mad, this year will be a lot easier for the lot of you."

With that she exited the room.

Ron looked at Dumbledore and asked hotly, "Just WHAT have you gotten us into THIS time!"

Hiei was silently shifting from tree to tree. He was nothing but a black blur to most demons or a shadow that was seen from the corner of their eye. When they went to investigate, he was no longed there. He had been tracking Black Hawk for five hours now and was growing annoyed. He seemed to be pushing his group to arrive somewhere within the Toushin lands quickly. It was like he knew someone was after him. After another hour of playing hide and go seek with Black Hawks' guards, they stopped and Hiei settled himself into a tree. He was careful to mask his scent and aura. It wouldn't do for them to realize he was here and scatter to the four winds. He needed to find Black-san fast and get to London. According to Ge-Orge-san, since Voldemort had close to three hundred C and D Class demons, Voldemort was slowing down recruitment now.

After waiting another five minutes, Black Hawk stormed out of his tent dragging a man with graying black hair and grayish blue eyes. His skin was shallow with sickness and his eyes were almost hollow with despair. Hiei felt concerned for this wizard who had been horribly betrayed by his remaining family. Once Genkai-sama (Lady Genkai), Yusuke-kun (friend Yusuke), and Kurama-kun (friend Kurama) left for London, Ko-Enma had went even deeper into Black-san's family history to explain just why Black was fighting against his cousin to begin with. He felt a certain kinship with the betrayed wizard because Black's family accosted him because he didn't believe in PUREBLOOD and didn't support a madman known as Voldemort. In a way, it was like him and his family history. He was sent to his death because his mother, Hina, mated with a Hi-no-Youkai (Fire Demon) and had him-a BOY and a FIRE DEMON, a Forbidden Child. Hiei's eyes narrowed, Black-san's life force was fading. He had to work fast.
