Hey people! I'd just like to say thanks to all of my readers and reviewers, you guys are great! I have an important question for you guys and it's at the bottom of this. Sorry about the wait, but "I got lost on the road of life." U (Kakashi, from the Anime Naruto) I hope you enjoy this chapter I spent a lot of time on this one…
And to my anonymous review, just wait and see… I've had that planed into this for a while…

Harry Potter yawned as he walked into the great hall, Ron and Hermione by his side. The hall itself was pretty much filled, with everyone from the four houses and the teachers talking and eating breakfast before the first day of lessons. A few students looked up and waved to the Golden Trio. They grinned back and headed over to the Gryffindor table. Harry was about to sit down at his normal spot when he noticed one of the new students.
Koenma sat a few feet away by himself, wearing the same sort of thing as the day before. He was reading a newspaper, a cup of steaming coffee in his hand, a half-eaten bowl of oatmeal before him.
"Hey guys," Harry said, "Why don't we go sit with Koenma this morning? Get to know him better, what do you say?"
"I think we should," Hermione replied as Ron nodded.
"Koenma," Harry called over. "It is ok if we sit with you?" Koenma looked up and nodded, placing the paper in his bag. The trio sat down near him and Harry grinned. "Hello, my name's Harry. Harry Potter. These are my friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger."
"Hello, my name's Koenma Daioh. It is nice to meet you," he answered. The four talked for a while, discovering that they all had the same schedule. Ron was listening to Hermione and Koenma discuss one of the textbooks when he suddenly interrupted them.
"Hey Koenma, where's the other two, Yusuke and Kagome?" he inquired, looking around. "They're not here."
"Oh, them?" Koenma asked. "They're probably just waking up," he informed them flatly, as if this was normal for everyone. Hermione's eyes widened considerably.
"But we have only 10 minutes until Double Potions!" she exclaimed.
"Bloody Hell!" Ron and Harry half-yelled at the same time. Koenma chuckled to himself.
"Don't worry, they'll be at class on time," he assured them.

Kagome's eyes fluttered open and she yawned, feeling comfortable in Yusuke's arms. She could feel his warm breath on her hair, and from that knew he was still asleep. It was times like this that made her wonder how she had ever been able to sleep without him. She smiled as the Toushin growled at some enemy from the world of dreams and pulled her closer. She sighed sadly, knowing that they couldn't stay like this forever like she wanted. They had to get up and get to class.
"Yusuke, time to wake up," she whispered. Yusuke cracked an eye open again and looked at her.
"I don't want to," he replied. "You're too hold-able an' I'm too comfortable," he murmured, his nose still buried in her dark hair. "By the way, you smell really good… like the air in the summer while it's raining." Kagome just looked at him.
"I do?"
"Yeah, you do."
"You know, we should really get up now."
"Why? I already said I don't want to," Yusuke whined.
"Cause we have to. As much as I don't want to as well."
"Damnit." And with that final word from Yusuke, the pair got up and changed quickly, grabbing books, quills, and parchment before hurriedly stuffing it all into their school bags. A few minutes later found them coming down the main staircase from the Tower just when Koenma, Harry, and co. emerged from the Great Hall. The group of six then descended the stairs and wove their way through the underground passages towards the dungeon classroom of Potions. Koenma kept glancing over at Yusuke uneasily.
"Yusuke, are you ok?" Harry inquired, seeing that the fellow Gryffindor was paling steadily, his face taking on a greenish tinge when they were about 10 feet from the classroom door. Kagome had taken out a white embroidered handkerchief and was holding it over her nose, looking sick.
"I figured this would happen," Yusuke managed to get out while trying desperately not to breathe. "Koenma, we're going to Grandma's class, she knew this would happen…" Yusuke grabbed Kagome's hand and they hurried back up to ground level, then up the main stairs to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the first floor. Genkai sighed when the door burst open, scaring a few of the First Years. The only class she could extensively teach were the Seventh Years, the rest were too young to learn most of the details so she only had to add in notes from time to time. Lupin stopped in his lecture and looked up, slightly annoyed.
"So it happened, did it?" she questioned, already knowing the answer. When Yusuke nodded, she put down her cup of tea and beckoned them over. "Yusuke, I want five laps around the lake. Run it, and get back here. Kagome, two laps. That ought to keep you both busy. Report back to me, then go to Transfiguration. After that it's lunch, and then DADA. You have 30 seconds until I should see you out at the lake. Go." They were gone faster than you could blink, and her instructions left the class and Lupin staring. "Forgive the interruption Remus, I had anticipated this happening." She turned to the eleven year olds. "Get back to work."
-:-:-:- Down by the Lake -:-:-:-
Yusuke took a deep breath and grinned, walking backwards so he could still talk to Kagome.
"Air!" he exclaimed, "I thought I was going to die! Again! How anyone can stand that is beyond me…" Yusuke shook his head, arms crossed.
"They can't smell like we can 'Ske-koi. They probably don't smell it anywhere near as much. I'm never going anywhere close to there again." Kagome declared. She gazed out over the lake and sniffed the air. "It smells pretty here."
"It's probably because of the mountains and the lake, not to mention we're away from a lot of the pollution that usually stinks something awful. Well, if I've got to do five laps I'd better get going. See yah!" Yusuke stated. He waved and ran off.
A few hours later found Koenma, Harry, and co. sitting at the house table when Kagome and Yusuke walked in, a couple of minutes late. They had all been in Transfiguration together, but the Trio had not had a chance to talk to the pair. Yusuke sat next to Koenma, with Kagome between the two. The lot of them sat and ate their lunch, until there were about 5 minutes left until DADA. That's precisely when Hermione decided to break the uneasy silence.
"Why couldn't you two come to Potions?" she wanted to know. A glance passed between the two demons.
"Well we couldn't come because… well, you see we're…" Yusuke began, but stopped before he said something stupid and blew their cover. Kagome picked it up from there.
"We're allergic to some of the things used in that class. It was an allergic reaction," Kagome lied quickly. She breathed a small sigh of relief when Hermione nodded, albeit warily, and looked like she believed what Kagome had made up. Kagome took a look around the emptying hall and grabbed her books. "We'd better get going, there's no way in hell I'd voluntarily be late for Grandma's class," she commented, standing up. Yusuke nodded and shuddered at the thought of an angry Genkai. They all then stood and made their way to their first DADA class of the year.
Ok! Sorry about the wait, life (what little bit I have) got in my way. Now the important question… Do you want to see Hiei and Kurama in this story? I have a thing planned out involving them, except for the fact that it calls for an OC for Hiei, like Alexandra is for Koenma. Please leave me a review telling me what you think. And, just a thought, my OCs are NOT Mary-sues. They have credible back-stories, reasons, and powers, and they have their weaknesses too. I think if you give them the chance, you'll really like them. Thank you!
