Responding to Ferret Queen Rose: I'll look at the chapters and see what I can do, thank you for pointing that them out for me, and for reviewing.
Chapter 1
Ding! Ding!
Yusuke popped right out of his seat, ready to bounce out of the lecture hall. It was quite funny actually because he never really attended classes in his high school years. Always spending the majority of his time jumping around the three worlds and still got into college, hopefully getting some sort of degree. It's not like he cares, but it was more like some girl he called 'girlfriend' that nagged him to get into a decent college and get some decent degree so that they can both get married and get jobs to support themselves. You can say he is quite exasperated. He's a spirit detective for Heaven's sake, not that he can be a 'normal' human being with a 'normal' life. He just can't get that thought through the thick skull of his girlfriend and childhood friend, Keiko. Sighing again, he left the school, and out onto the street heading to where he usually works after school, or in other words help out since he is rarely being paid, at the curry shop that Keiko's parents owned.
"Oi, need any help old man?" Yusuke asked as he entered the shop.
"Sure thing Yusuke, you can help me chop all those ingredients into little pieces, and maybe help Keiko do some cleaning when she comes back," Keiko's dad announced, but before Yusuke got going on his assignments given by his 'boss', the telephone rang.
"I'll go get it old man!" Yusuke shouted, overjoyed that he didn't have to start working yet, and hoping that this would get him out of there as soon as possible.
"Hello, Curry Parlor (Don't know the name of the place, sorry!), Yusuke's speaking," said Yusuke timidly as he wouldn't want to scare any of the customers away. Keiko's dad would probably send him away. Again not that he cares, but one thing he does care about is his stomach, and going home with an empty stomach is not exactly appealing at the moment. Besides all his mom ever does is bum around and spends every penny they got on boozes, which equals to no food in fridge. He sighs again. He noticed that he had been sighing a lot for the past few years since his return from his jumping sprees.
"Hello, Yusuke?" a familiar voice echoed through the phone.
"Kurama?"
"Is that really you? You don't sound like Yusuke! What have you done to him?" screamed panicky Kurama.
"What do you mean? And what exactly do you want? I hope you just didn't phone me to insult me!" replied Yusuke madly.
"Never mind, and no, I didn't phone you to criticize you. You didn't sound like your usual self for a second and I was just worried. Anyways what are you doing over at Keiko's?"
"What do you really want Kurama? I know you all too well." Yusuke resumed being his rough self again, noting that he's not going to scare anybody away, equaling food for his stomach.
"Oh, er…I was going to ask if I could borrow you for some time that's all," Kurama said on the other side of the phone, stuttering, struggling to keep calm, a blush that's rarely on his face appeared. He hadn't seen Yusuke nor heard from him for the last couple of years since his return, and just hearing his voice being so timid just makes him blush. He had never realized that Yusuke could be such a timid person, let alone speak timidly, yet this tone of his was just way too attracting for the red-head. To put it simply, he was quite shocked.
"WHAT! KURAMA, I AM NOT SOME KIND OF OBJECT THAT YOU CAN BORROW! I AM A BEING, AND I DON'T LIKE BEING BORROWED THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" yelled Yusuke, while on the other side of the line, Kurama was blasted several feet away from his receiver, and crashed into a wall.
Okay… for a second he did sound attracting, maybe I was just dreaming, thought the fox. He was still pondering, crawling back to where he dropped his receiver, when Yusuke yelled again through the phone, blowing his thoughts away.
"OKAY, SO WHAT DO YOU WANT FOX-BOY? I AM QUITE BUSY YOU KNOW! I NEED TO WORK!" Not that he was going to admit it, but he rather talk on the phone than chop vegetables or grabbing a broom and start cleaning the floor, but Kurama doesn't need to know that, and his 'boss' was surely going to kick him out if he had heard.
Kurama was shocked once again, Yusuke's busy? How could that be? He rarely gets himself busy, let alone works!
"SPEAK UP FOX! IF YOU DON'T THEN I'M LEAVING!"
Now that caught the red-head's attention and he remembered what his reason was to call upon his rash headed friend.
"We are meeting at Genkai's place in an hour, can you make it?"
"Wait, I have to ask, I'll be right back!" Yusuke answered, turning his head to Keiko's father, covering his left hand over the receiver while his right is holding it and shouted, "Hey old man, I can't help out today, a friend in need, you think you can give me a break?"
Keiko's father narrowed his eyes at him, he knew that Yusuke was famous for sneaking away from work since he was sometimes on the receiving end of this treatment, but he nodded anyway, "Sure, but you'll have to chop all those vegetables and meat first before you leave, and I'll tell Keiko that you can't help clean up today, deal?"
"Deal!" Yusuke said happily, at least one less chore to do is better than none, and turning back to the phone, he quickly replied, "Sure Kurama!"
"Okay then, I drop by Keiko's to pick you up in a couple of minutes, then we'll head to Kuwabara's before going to the train station, okay?"
"Sure," with that Yusuke quickly place the receiver back onto its cradle and rushed into the kitchen. Putting on his apron, he began chopping the food, and before he knew it, Kurama already arrived. However, he still have a few pounds of food to chop.
"There's a pretty red-head waiting for you outside, Yusuke," the old man said in a teasing voice, popping his head into the kitchen, glancing that Yusuke still have a couple pounds of food to chop before he can leave, he quickly retreated back into the lobby and informed the red-head of this. The fox was quite amused and even smirked at seeing Yusuke working so hard. He, being the nice person he always is, dismissed it and even offered to lend a hand. In less than fifteen minutes, both of them were walking down the path, heading towards Kuwabara's.
"I didn't know you are working for Keiko's father?" said Kurama, pretending to be innocent.
"Shut up fox-boy! I had to or else I'll get no food!" grumbled Yusuke, and fortunately for him, they had arrived at their orange-haired friend's house at the moment, cutting off his friend's teasing.
They collected Kuwabara and in less than an hour, had gotten to Genkai's temple. To Hiei's dismay, they were still a couple of minutes late as he had spoken in his welcoming statement.
"You're late again, slowpokes!" (Typical Hiei huh? )
Yusuke rushed over to the fire demon and gave him a big bear hug, "There's my favorite three-eyed demon!"
Kurama can't help but chuckle at the scene the two made, especially when Hiei made a face and try to detach himself from the rash headed detective. Kuwabara, on the other hand, ran into the temple shouting his lungs out for his all-time love, Yukina, leaving a very MAD Hiei scrambling out of the detective's arms and trailing after him. Well now, that leaves Yusuke, who sweat-dropped, and Kurama, outside with the red-head still chuckling his head off.
Finally, being very pissed at his teasing friend, Yusuke retorted, glaring at him, "That's not very funny Kurama," and with that he stomped into the temple thinking of some kind of revenge.
o.O.o
"So you're saying that Grandma here got hired as some teacher at some stupid school all the way in England!" Yusuke said, waving his arms in the air like a maniac.
"That's seem to summarize the whole thing Yusuke," commented Kurama, tapping his chin with his right index finger, nodding.
"But what's that got to do with me and this stupid meeting? And didn't I say that I am no longer a spirit detective. I quited!" asked a very annoyed Yusuke.
"You dimwit! Shut up and let Koenma finish!" Genkai curled her hand into a fist and drove it into his skull, in which earned him a big bump on top of his head. And with Kuwabara being as annoying as ever, teasing him while he tries to nurse it.
"You OLD HAG! YOU NEEDN'T HIT ME THAT HARD!"
"Idiot," Hiei muttered.
"What did you say shorty?" Yusuke suddenly stood up and glared at Hiei intensely, while he just rolled his eyes at his place, having his sword next to him, leaning against the wall in a corner of the room.
"You should learn to listen Yusuke!" retorted Genkai, then turning to Koenma, "now Koenma, could you please repeat what you had said earlier before we were so rudely interrupted."
Her eyes piercing into Yusuke's, making him shiver violently, shutting him up whatever he was going to say.
Grandma is so scary! Yusuke thought as he sat rigid, still shivering from the piercing glaze which he had received. Mental note, never make Grandma loose her temper EVER!
"Oh yes, Genkai," Koenma pipped up, cutting into Yusuke's thoughts, "thank you! As it is, there is something suspicious going on in England as large amount of demons had been sighted across that area, mostly D-class and lower C-class. Normally, I would have just sent you over there and take care of them, but there had been no portals open between the Makai and Negenkai in our records. It seems that they just popped out of nowhere," stated Koenma as he walked back and forth in circles in front of the gang, hands behind his back, mumbling all the way.
His speech was met with silence...
"You sure there were no records of the portals opening?" Kurama spoke up, breaking the muted conversation.
"Yes, Kurama, in fact, we've been through all the records at least 100 times now, and still nothing showed up," answered Koenma exasperated, sitting down at last, picked up his tea and start sipping the way Genkai does.
Botan, who was sitting quietly the whole time, nodded, and added her two cents.
"I personally verify that Koenma did that, for I was the one who had to recheck them after he HAD already," she said while wiggling her right index finger at Kurama.
"So what Koenma is saying is that demons just appear out of nowhere?" Kuwabara asked, scratching his head, "But that doesn't make any sense, I mean how can they just suddenly appear?" he, then crossed his arms across his chest, eyes scrunched up, head positioned in thinking mode.
"The idiot can actually thinks! I'm amazed!" Hiei remarked as he stared at Kuwabara wide-eyed, mouth gaping in an o-shaped.
"Hiei..." warned Kurama as Kuwabara stood up getting ready for a fight, leaving everyone else to sweat drop, and Hiei was tempted to further his teasing.
"Yes Kuwabara," Koenma replied quickly cutting off any comments that Hiei was going to make, and now instead of glaring at Kuwabara, Koenma is on the receiving end of Hiei's death glare, giving off a shiver and a nervous chuckle he continued, hoping against hope that Hiei will forget his revenge. "But the most important thing is that the school that wanted to hire Genkai is not your average school. Apparently it's called Hogwarts, a school of wizardry and witchcraft. According to the information given, these wizards and witches hid themselves beneath the busy streets of England, separating themselves from the human world and creating their own universe. The brain hacking question now is how did they know about Genkai, who had no idea about their civilization, and what are their reasons to hire Genkai as a professor who can't teach magic?" Koenma said while staring at his cup of tea in his hands.
"I presume you would want us to go and investigate, right? But, we are no longer spirit detectives for the Rekai. So how are we, if we agree to do so, go around about it?" asked the ever pessimistic Kurama.
"No need to worry yourselves about that, I could always renew your certifications as Rekai's detectives anytime, that is, if granted permission from my father." Koenma looked up from his cup, a slight hesitation could be seen in his eyes as he nervously laughed at his last comment.
Everyone sweat-dropped at this, then reverted into anger, all stood up, glowering at him, and blew in front of his face, making him fall backwards, "YOU HAVEN'T EVEN ASKED HIM YET AND YOU EXPECT US TO AGREE! KOENMA!"
"Idiot!"
"STUPID TODDLER!"
"Now, now, now," said the now defeated Koenma, waving his hands in front of him, trying to calm down the angry mob that is staring at him intensely, "I am sure he will when he sees how this will affect the outcome of the human world, therefore once you get your certifications back, I want Yusuke and Kurama to go with Genkai as her students from Japan, since they were originally, and infiltrate their society, providing us with some useful information. Kuwabara and Hiei, I want you to stay behind and protect the others, for I know you might have some businesses to attend to."
"What makes you think I will work with this baka willingly?"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING BAKA? AND WHAT'S SO WRONG WITH WORKING WITH ME? AND BESIDES YOU THINK I WANT TO BE PARTNERED WITH YOU OF ALL PEOPLE?" Kuwabara exploded, then cringed when he remembered something of importance, "though I know Shizuru is going to kill me if I don't complete my studies and become a doctor."
"I highly doubt your intelligence level to even complete your studies," Hiei muttered making Yusuke laughed nonstop and Kurama to sigh and lecture him on his attitude. Luckly for Kuwabara, he was so interested in having a conversation with Yukina that he hadn't heard the comment at all.
o.O.o
Meanwhile on the other side of the globe, all the way in England, hidden within view of normal society lies a castle in which witches, wizards and any magical beings, attended school. An argument could be heard in one of the rooms occupied in the castle. Though luckily it was still Summer and no students will be around in order to eavesdrop on the conversation being held.
"Dumbledore, what were you thinking?"
"Calm down Minerva, I think this is for the best."
"But a muggle?"
"Though you might refer to her as a muggle, I highly doubt that she's a regular one at that."
"What makes you think so? And besides she could be a spy for You-know-who. How do we know we can trust her?"
"That's why I wanted to hire her. For one, she's currently residing in Japan where Voldemort had never ever been seen appearing anywhere near there, and two, I can bet that she had never even heard the name Voldemort let alone working for him, and three, she's very knowledgeable if my sources are correct. She would be excellent as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
"But how could a muggle have any knowledge of the Dark Arts? She would be teaching them the wrong things and that would make everything worse."
"Don't worry Minerva. We'll see, though I truly believe in her abilities to teach that particular class, and please don't announce this to anyone just yet. I wanted this to be a surprise." Dumbledore replied, eyes sparkling their normal shine, while Professor McGonagall just stared at him disbelievingly.
