Next chapter, next chapter, repeat after me, there will be plot in the next chapter. Sigh That is the only thing that is getting me through this chapter. There will be plot in the next chapter. Well, okay, there is plot now, but there will be MORE plot in the next chapter.

Unless you couldn't tell, I really want to write the plot part of this story. But of course, I had to write what will lead up to the plot.

DISCLAIMERS: Like I have said in previous chapters, it's in the first chapter.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The three stepped into the office and took a seat, Dumbledore behind his desk, while Hiei and Kurama sat in front of the desk.

"The two of you have been causing trouble," Dumbledore said casually. "When I asked you to take the job, I don't recall telling you to cause trouble."

"Blame the teachers," Kurama said, still holding his fox in his arms and gently stroking its fur. "They made us mad."

"What exactly did you do in Herbology?"

"That depends, what did you hear?" Kurama replied.

"I heard that one of Professor Sprout's Fire Spitting Plants turned into a grass that she had never seen before and that a much larger Fire Spitting Plant grew out of nowhere."

With a small chuckle Kurama said, "That is somewhat true, however, there never was a true Spitfire in her greenhouse."

"Please explain."

"What she had was a Kawariyasui Konpon, which could also translate to Changeling Root. The Root has the ability, as its name suggests, to change into any plant imaginable. But with the large plants, however, it has to change into a smaller version of it. The Spitfire is a seven foot tall plant, but the Root can only grow up to three feet." Kurama leaned back in his chair and the only thing that kept him from putting his feet up on the desk was Hiei's look.

"You are such an arrogant Youko, Kurama. I have never met a Youko who was half as arrogant as you are."

"Why, thank you Hiei. That means a lot to me."

"So, where did the other plant come from?" Dumbledore asked.

"I grew it," Kurama said plainly.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Simple," Kurama said. "I tossed a seed into a corner that had sufficient soil, and then I sent out some of my energy to it and made it grow."

"Kurama, these people aren't going to understand with out a visual demonstration," Hiei said.

"Alright then, I'll show him."

Kurama had just pulled a seed out of his hair when the door to the office opened and all of the teachers that the two demons were going to have while at the school came in except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

"Thank you for coming," Dumbledore said nicely. "Kurama was just about to give us a demonstration of his powers."

"You said nothing about doing it in front of an audience," Kurama said. "But if you insist, I suppose I can grant that wish."

"Don't get arrogant, fox."

"Oh, Hiei, don't worry, I won't summon any powerful plants." Kurama then proceeded to grow a rose from the seed in his hand. "One of my favorite weapons is called the Rose Whip. As you can see, I start by growing a simple rose, and then," Kurama raised his rose a little and slowly began to transform the rose into a whip. "I'm doing this slowly for you, but when I'm in a fight, I can grow the whip in less than a second."

"What are you?" Professor Sprout asked in amazement.

"I am a Youko, a Spirit Fox, sometimes know as a Demon Fox," Kurama said. "I am the most feared thief in the Demon Realm, and even thought there had been rumors of my death, youkai everywhere still fear my name."

"Why do they fear you?" Professor Flitwick asked in his squeaky voice.

"Many years ago, I was a ruthless thief who would steal and kill for fun, but then something happened, I was injured, and I escaped into the Human world and a human body. Now I don't kill for fun anymore."

Hiei gave a sidelong glance at Kurama. "If it weren't for the fact that-" Hiei was interrupted by a whip wrapping around his face, covering his mouth.

"Hiei," Kurama said in Japanese, "that is none of their business. When I want them to know, I will tell them, but not until then, got it?"

Since Hiei still couldn't talk, he just nodded his head.

"Good."

The teachers looked from one to the other in confusion. They knew that Hiei had been about to tell them something, but they weren't sure what.

"Dumbledore, I'm confused," Sprout said. "He says he's a demon fox?"

"Yes," Dumbledore replied. "The two of them are demons, and very powerful."

"Why are demons here?" Professor Trelawney asked.

"To protect Harry," Kurama said. "Dumbledore asked us to protect the boy and his friends in the occasion that they were to do something stupid."

Hiei tugged lightly at the sleeve of Kurama's shirt, but Kurama didn't pay him any attention.

The teachers continued to talk to Kurama and Dumbledore, completely ignoring the short fire demon that still had a whip wrapped around his mouth.

Hiei was not happy with this at all. He started to slowly raise his body temperature, thinking that Kurama would notice him and untie the whip. His temperature rose higher and higher until the whip suddenly burst into flame and fell to the ground.

"Hiei, why did you do that?!" Kurama yelled.

"Hn, you didn't notice that you still had me tied up in that thing, that's why! I did it slowly, but you still didn't notice. I don't like being ignored, Kurama."

"Oh, Hiei, I'm sorry," Kurama said.

As the two demons continued to talk, the teachers were once again confused.

"Isn't he a fox too?" Sprout asked.

"No," Hiei said in response. "I am a fire demon, and you had better not forget it!"

"Hiei has size issues," Kurama said quietly. "Because he's so short, people tend to think he's weak. So Hiei has trained nearly every day of his life to become stronger. And he has mastered fire. Don't get him mad."

Dumbledore finished telling the other teachers about how they should treat the two, and not to let any of the other students know that they were demons.

After getting their word, Kurama and Hiei left the office tower and returned to the common room.

"Now they know about us," Kurama said. "I hope Koenma's not mad."

"You're the one who told," Hiei reminded.

"Yeah, yeah, I know."

I CAN FINALLY START ON THE PLOT!!! YEAH! PLOT, HERE I COME!!!

Ahem, yeah, I am very glad. But I had to shove out this horrible chapter. It's not anywhere near as good as I thought it would be, and I figured it out halfway through writing. It sucks. And I'm well aware of it. If you are only going to say, "It sucks!" in a review, then I don't want to hear it. Yeah, I like getting flames, however rare they are, but I know this chapter sucks. You don't have to remind me.

However, if you have a different reason, like you don't like any of the story, then you can do whatever you want, say whatever you want.

But if you have read this far, then I don't think you hate the story.

Oh, and another thing, I just couldn't bear to see the awful quality of this story, so I cut it off really early. Well, not early, but I made it shorter that usual.

Bye!!!!!
