AN: Hello people! Thank you so much to all my reviewers for your wonderful comments! I hope you like this chappie! Here you go!

I would reply, but apparently that's not supposed to happen…..

By the way, if anyone was wondering why it looked like I reviewed myself, blame it on my friend! She was over, I was logged in, she read my story, had the genius idea to review, and now, I'm stuck with a comment written by "myself"…..well then……

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Last Time:

Yusuke rubbed his eyes, gradually waking up. "Huh, who's the kid?"

The boy blinked, "Nice to meet you all," he repeated, "My name is Harry Potter"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Harry Potter just had one of the strangest days of his life. Today was the first day of Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, and he was quite happy to start school. However, when he got on the Hogwarts Express, strange things started to happen.

First, his two best friends, Ron and Hermione, had to go to the prefect's compartment, and told Harry they'll find him soon, so to save them a seat.

So, being the nice guy that he was, he searched through the train for an empty compartment.

Most of the compartments were either full, or filled with Slytherins. On the way, he also met Neville, Ginny, Dean, and some of his fellow Gryffindors.

"Hey Harry! Wanna sit with us?" Neville waved. "We have one seat left!"

"Thanks, Neville, but I gotta look for an empty compartment for both Ron and Hermione as well as me." Harry told Neville.

"Oh. Well, good luck!"

Harry waved goodbye to everyone and left. He looked and looked but could not find a compartment with enough room for three people. Looks like we got on the train a little late, he thought. Finally, he got to the last compartment on the train. It was silent except for the loud snoring coming form the room. Deciding that this was his last chance, he opened the door.

When he did, he felt two pairs of eyes staring at him instantly. One pair of brilliant green eyes and another pair of ruby red eyes looked at him. Studying him. Glaring at him. Harry gulped, wishing that he had sat with Neville.

But, it turned out the redhead, introduced as Shuuichi, was very nice, as opposed to his two friends. The one who woke up and had called him a kid was named Yusuke, and the other, Hiei, was still glaring at him with a sword gripped in his hand, making him look murderous.

Still, Shuuichi would stop his friend is he wanted to try something. Right?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Meanwhile, Kurama, Hiei, and Yusuke were having a telepathic argument.

So this is the ningen we are to help. Hiei surveyed Harry with a critical eye.

No wonder he would fail. Looks pretty weak to me. Yusuke shook his head. I wonder how he was supposed to beat this Voldemort dude. Unless Voldemort is just as weak.

Hiei! Yusuke! Don't just shake your head, or stare at him. He'll get suspicious. Hiei, your stare will probably scare him, too. Besides. Don't judge someone by appearance. Look at Hiei. He may be short, but very powerful. Kurama lectured, keeping his eyes fixed on his book the entire time.

Having felt that he needn't explain anymore to the other two, Kurama raised his head to give a kind look to Harry.

"So, Harry, are you going to Hogwarts alone?" Kurama questioned, still with a kind smile on his face.

Harry hastened to reply. "Um, my friends are prefects, so they have to meet in a specific place and then monitor the train." He suddenly was alarmed by another thought. "They said they would meet me later on. Would it be okay if they sat here too?"

Kurama chuckled at the worried look on his face. He had seen Harry suddenly send an almost scared glance to Hiei before asking about his friends. He must thing that Hiei would kill them or something. He's probably correct in thinking that way too. Had Hiei been on this train alone, most, or all of the passengers would be seriously injured, or dead.

Just then, the compartment door slammed open, revealing an irritated looking girl with very frizzy brown hair. Behind her a nervous looking boy, with red hair and freckles was trying to say something to the girl.

"C'mon Hermione, calm down." Ron looked around the compartment. "See! There he is! Calm-"

Ron looked around the compartment again, stopping at Hiei. "Dude, is that a sword?"

"Ron, stop acting foolish! Of course that's not a real sword!" Hermione looked at Hiei. "Swords or other weapons aren't allowed in school."

Before Hermione had a chance to speak to Hiei again, Kurama interrupted.

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Shuuichi Minamino, we are transfer students from Japan, and you are?" Kurama got up to shake their hand."

"H-hi, nice to meet you, I'm Hermione Granger." She blushed when she saw him.

Kurama smiled sweetly, turning to Ron. "And you?"

"Wait, you're a guy, right?" Ron asked as he studied Kurama.

"Ron!" exclaimed Hermione. "Don't ask that, it's rude!"

"It's okay, easily mistaken." Kurama informed. "Yes, I assure you that I am male."

"Yo! I'm Urameshi-" Baka. Here you say your last name first. "Oh, I mean, I'm Yusuke Urameshi, number one punk. Nice to meet you."

Ron smiled as Hermione looked at Yusuke and smiled weakly. Both then looked at Hiei, expecting an introduction. When he ignored them both, Kurama sight and decided to help him out.

"This is our friend, Hiei Jaganshi. Hiei isn't very….social, but he's a really nice person if you get to know him."

At this, Yusuke burst out laughing and Hiei gave Kurama the strangest look.

Kurama sighed, thinking, What am I saying?

He smiled again at Hermione and Ron and sat down with Yusuke, who was clutching his stomach, still laughing, with tears coming out of his eyes.

"Be quiet, Yusuke! It's not that funny!" hissed Kurama.

"AHAHA -Really nice –HAHAHAHA -if you –HAHA –get to know him –AHAHAHAHAHA" breathed Yusuke, trying to calm down.

"Ignore him." Kurama told the Hogwarts trio. "He may act a bit stupid at times."

"Hey!"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Time on the train passed by quickly as Kurama and Hermione discussed topics on classes in Hogwarts while Ron and Harry played a game of wizard chess. Yusuke snored up a storm while Hiei sat on the windowsill, devouring the whole bunch of sweets from the candy cart that the lady pushed around.

"So what are these different houses I keep hearing about?" questioned Kurama curiously.

"Oh, you don't know? Well I guess I should tell you about it." Hermione said helpfully.

This got the attention of Hiei, who was hoping that if they knew more about this school. Then they could finish the case faster and go back to Japan.

He jumped off the windowsill, surprising everyone except Kurama, walked over to the sleeping Yusuke and…..kicked him.

"Huh? Wha-" Yusuke was quite confused. He felt a dull throb in his head and look at Hiei, one foot raised up in a kicking position. "You kicked me! Why didja kick me?"

"Hn." Hiei spoke for the first time, making Harry, Ron, and Hermione shocked at the deepness of his voice. Way too deep for his height. "Get up. We have to hear this information about the school." Turning to Hermione, "Talk girl." He ordered.

"Um…" Hermione looked confused for a second, before recovering and starting to talk. "At Hogwarts, there are four houses. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. The sorting hat sorts you into a house by your personality. Gryffindor is for the brave, Hufflepuff for the loyal, Ravenclaw for the smart, and Slytherin for the cunning. There's a rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin because of……problems."

After a while, when she started explaining the pointless, a telepathic conversation was gong on between the three Tantei.

Did you hear that? This sorting hat might put us in different houses, but it would be better if we three go to the same house as Harry Potter, acknowledged Kurama.

So how do we make sure we get put in the same house? Yusuke inquired.

You really are a dimwit. Hiei said scornfully.

Kurama couldn't help but chuckle at this, causing Harry and Ron to turn and stare. Hermione, thinking she had said something wrong, turned red.

Oops. Kurama thought guiltily. Then, going back on topic, he asked Hiei a question. What do you suggest, Hiei?

Am I the only one who knows how to think? Hiei complained. We could use blackmail, which would probably be most effective. Unless you could think of another way…he trailed off, daring anyone to laugh with a deadly glare.

Then it's settled. Blackmail it is. Kurama decided, with a barely noticeable smile on his face.

Just as that was decided, the door of the compartment slid open once again, revealing a tall, white-blond haired boy who seemed to be flanked by two other pudgy boys that somewhat resembled gorillas.

"Well," he sneered. "Isn't that nice. Potter and Weasel and their little girlfriend found some new freaks to hang out with. A short brat, a punk wannabe, and- " his eyes widened. "-the biggest freak of all! A guy, or girl? How about homo?" he mocked, with a sharp sting in his voice.

(AN: I do not, under any circumstances dislike Kurama! After all, he's one of my favourite characters! Anyone remotely angry, forgive!)

Kurama's eyes widened at this unexpected insult, some hurt showing in his eyes. Yusuke stared at the boy with hatred burning in his fierce glare. Hiei, on the other hand, was not as restraining. Whipping his katana out of the sheath, he bared his unusually sharp canines at the boy after arriving from the window to the door within seconds.

"Apologize to Kurama NOW!" Hiei snarled, forgetting the improper use of name in his anger.

Alarm showed in Kurama's eyes before he rushed over, whispered a few words to Hiei, and led a still seething Hiei away form the pale boy, his face blank in shock.

After a few moments of silence, the boy regained his composure and threw a haughty glare at Hiei before saying, "You'll regret ever doing that to Draco Malfoy. I'll make sure of it." Turning away and slamming the sliding glass door behind him, he stalked off.

Hiei, who was still standing in the middle of the compartment, strode back over to the window, hopped onto the window, hopped onto the ledge and settled himself down. He gave a long look to Kurama, who was again seated beside Yusuke with his head leaned back, eyes closed, before closing his own eyes.

An uncomfortable silence settled over the room. Harry, Ron, Hermione were unsure of how he new students would act after getting mocked so brutally because of them. Glancing at the Tantei, the three all appeared to be sleeping, until Kurama voiced his thoughts out loud.

"Draco Malfoy." He said thoughtfully, emerald eyes snapping open, startling the three humans. (AN: Yusuke doesn't count!)

Yusuke snorted. "He's lucky," he informed the humans. "Lucky Shuuichi was there, or else his head would be rolling down the hall right now. Also lucky Shuuichi was in control or else he would have died of natural causes."

By now, both Kurama and Hiei were glaring at him.

Idiot! Hiei thought. Too much information!

Kurama looked worn out. Yes, Yusuke. That last part was really unnecessary. Now, please, you two, please keep the arguing down to a minimum. May I remind you that is why Yusuke is here and Kuwabara is not?

Hn.

Fine, Kurama. That little brat should learn to respect his elders though.

No worries. Kurama blinked in surprise at Yusuke's comment. An insult is not nearly enough to make us fail this mission. Both of you know that, and need to calm down.

Hermione looked at the three curiously. "Did Hiei call Shuuichi Kurama?"

"Yeah," Ron cut in. "And that sword really looked real. What was that?"

Kurama turned to the trio, quickly thinking up of excuses.

"You see, Kurama is a nickname, used by my friends, and that's not a sword, it's a katana."

Ron blinked, "So it's not real?"

"Well, it's not a real sword."

"Oh." Disappointed, Ron sat down again.

Yusuke was once again confused. But Kurama, that is real.

Kurama smirked. Yeah, a real katana, not a real sword.

"Oh." Three pairs of eyes turned to Yusuke.

"What? Can't a guy say oh anymore around here?"

"Hn. Idiot."

Now, Kurama quickly latched his hand on Yusuke's arm, successfully stopping Yusuke for running headfirst into Hiei.

"Why you little-"

"Oh look!" Harry pointed out the window. "We're here!"

The train came to a stop and everyone got their luggage and stepped off the Hogwarts Express, into the darkness of the night.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Well, here is where we part." Kurama waved to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. "We are supposed to go with the first years to get sorted."

"Good luck, you guys!" Hermione waved back. "See you later!"

"Firs' years over here!"

The trio walked over to the voice, seeing a giant of a man shouting out to the first years.

"Here we are. Let's wait with them until they leave for the school. Kurama looked around for anymore first years coming over. "Everyone here? Let's go" Hagrid lead everyone over to the lake, where small boats floated along with the water current. "No mor' than five to a boat!" Informed Hagrid.

The three Tantei stepped into the boat, joined by a nervous looking first year. "Ready? Go!" Hagrid pointed his pink umbrella in front of him, and the boats jerked forwards, taking them towards the giant and magnificent castle that was seen in the distance.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

When everyone got to the castle, a strict looking woman led them into the great hall.

"Hello, my name is Professor McGonagall and I will be your Deputy Headmistress and transfiguration teacher here at Hogwarts. Right now, you are going to get sorted to one of the four houses. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. While I go prepare for the sorting, I expect you to smarten up and get ready."

With that, the woman left the nervous first years fussing over their looks, girls smoothing down their wet clothes, and most of the boys looking unconcerned.

Hiei's clothes were already dry, and Yusuke was attempting to convince Hiei to dry his clothes for him, but to no avail. Kurama was smiling at Hiei's stubbornness. Kurama's own clothes were still a bit damp, but he didn't mind, as he was more interested in his surroundings.

The three members of the Reikai Tantei were soon attracting eyes and whispers. What were three new students doing here? They looked to be at least the age of the sixth years, except for the little one. Curious murmurs filled the hall as the students wondered about the strangers.

Professor McGonagall came marching back with a worn hat on a wooden three-legged stool. After being set down, the hat raised it's brim and began to sing.

I am called the Sorting Hat,

And sort you I will do,

But first I must tell a story of

Our history long and true.

Hogwarts worked in harmony

For several happy years

But discord crept among us

Feeding on our faults and fears.

The houses that, like pillars four,

Had once held up our school,

Now turned upon each other and,

Divided, sought to rule,

And for a while it seemed the school

Must meet an early end,

What with dueling and with fighting

And the clash of friend on friend

And at last there came a morning

When old Slytherin departed

And though the fighting then died down

He left us quite downhearted.

And never since the founders four

Were whittled down to three

Have the houses been united

As they were meant to be.

And now the Sorting Hat is here

And you all know the score:

I sort you into houses

Because that is what I'm for,

But this year I'll go further,

Listen closely to my song:

Though condemned I am to split you

Still I worry that it's wrong,

Though I must fulfill my duty

And must quarter every year

Still I worry whether Sorting

May not bring the end I fear

Oh, know the perils, read the signs,

The warning history shows,

For our Hogwarts is in danger

From external deadly foes

And we must unite within her

Or we'll crumble from within,

I have told you, I have warned you,

Let the sorting now begin…

(AN: if you noticed, this is the lyrics from the 5th book, that's because there are no lyrics in the 6th book! The hat re-sang the old song? Just pretend they haven't heard it before. By the way, I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER!)

With that, the hat fell silent once more. It seemed that the professor would call the student, the student would put on the hat, and the hat would put the student in the appropriate house. Slowly, the line of students in grew short, until only Hiei, Kurama, and Yusuke were left.

"Jaganshi, Hiei!"

If the hat doesn't listen, tell me. I can always burn it. Hiei thought with an evil grin.

Along with my hair. Kurama thought back. Let's hope we won't have to resort to that.

Hiei walked over, put the hat on, and immediately, the hat yelled Gryffindor in a very shaky voice. Kurama and Yusuke got the same treatment. Not very long after, they were seated beside Harry.

"That was a bit strange." Hermione commented. "The hat never put three people in the same house right after another. And it almost sounded nervous."

At this, the three Tantei looked at each other, the other two receiving a wink from Kurama.

Suddenly, food appeared on the platters, and Yusuke, Ron and Harry dug in without a word. Even Hermione was eating with gusto. Kurama and Hiei sat there, surveying the scene unfold before their eyes.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The dinner had ended, and all the students went to bed. Yusuke, Kurama, and Hiei chose beds very close to each other and the windowsill.

"Well, g'night." Yusuke said with a yawn.

"Good night." Kurama answered.

"Hn."

Kurama hopped onto his own bed, and settled himself down while Hiei got himself comfortable on the windowsill. While the two looked like they were asleep, it would be a while before their thoughts would settle. Each was wondering about both different and the same things. About the mission, their friends and family at home, but mostly, about the day that awaited them tomorrow……

TO BE CONTINUED...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This time, errors should be blamed on the fact that it's really late, and I'm next to dead typing this….plus the same factor as the last chapter………

Like it? Hate it? I won't know if you don't tell me! Just write something, anything!

Cya L8ter!
