Chapter 4

Phoenix grinned. He could see himself and this guy as family. Hiei looked at the kid thinking something along the lines of, 'Kami help us all if this kid goes evil.'

"I'd love to have a family, one that I can trust, that is." Phoenix said, a grin opening his face up. Yuskue grinned back.

"GREAT!" Yuskue practically screamed. "Now I've got to fhdfedfhgfrhjhrgfjrhvd" Yuskue ran around speaking so fast it was untranslatable. Leaving everyone's eyes spinning.

Phoenix could like having a brother like this. A family that wouldn't use him or hate him for no reason sounded nice.

"I would love that, but on one condition." Yuskue looked at him waiting for the condition. "You'll have to take me with you when you go and put them in their place." Yuskue's grin got wider, becoming almost a shit-eating one. Phoenix gave a similar if not more evil grin.

"ALRIGHT!" Yuskue yelled. "Let's go talk to mom and get her to do the paperwork to adopt you." Phoenix sighed contentedly. He was going to like this family a lot more than the, now pleasantly dubbed, 'Bastard old-farts'.

And now Dumbledore

He snarled. How could this have happened? How could his wards allow the boy out, when they were meant to keep him from escaping the Dursley's? How could they let him out without the permission of the Dursley's? He would not be allowed until the start of the years at Hogwarts! His school was to have been the most FAMOUS school, but now… All of this because of one troublesome boy. He would find this boy, and force him to go to his school.

On with phoenixes!

Yuskue had left about an hour ago, going to find his mom and drag her up to Genkai's, drag her, that is, if she didn't come willingly (they doubt she wouldn't come). A loud thumping sound came from the direction of the stairs outside. Phoenix practically flew outside, standing there waiting for his soon-to-be-big-brother.

When Yuskue came into view he had a woman on his back. The look on her face was one of expectation. When Yuskue let her down, she caught sight of Phoenix.

"Yuskue is this little red-head the one who needs a family?" The woman, probably Yuskue's mother, asked. Phoenix's eyes widened. What did she mean, red-head?
