Hey everyone sorry for the slow update, but a lot of things have been happening over the summer one is that my grandfather is very, very ill with cancer so that slowed my lack of being able to work on my story along with a virus on my old computer, luckily it's being fixed so I should be able to update more often. Hopefully, anyway Voldemort, can you please do the disclaimers?

---Chapter 25---
---Karaoke and a Dark Lord---
Harry and Draco walked downstairs in their muggle outfits. Harry was wearing leather pants, a black tank top, a netting shirt over that, his long black over coat over that, and he had black eyeliner on again also. Draco was dressed in black leather pants, a silver sleeveless shirt with the Slytherin crest on it, and a black jacket. The two headed downstairs and saw the others, minus Genkai, dressed and ready to go.
"Are you not going, Genkai-sensei?" Harry asked, he had gotten in the habit of calling her that after he had heard Rose and Kurama call her by the name a lot.
"No scar-head," Genkai said using the nickname she had given Harry, "I will not be, I'm too old to be heard singing, besides I have my own karaoke machine here that I can use without you lot making fun of me."
"That's only Yusuke, Genkai-sensei," Rose said entering the room. She was wearing a black dress with a red phoenix and green snake swirling around the dress the phoenix design's head was on her right shoulder and the snake on her left shoulder. "Alright shall we head out?"
"Yea, let's hurry before the late night traffic starts," Kagome said and turned to Shippou and Rin, "You two behave for Genkai and Jaken ok?"
"Yes mom!" The two said and Kagome smiled at them. The group headed out, got in the limo that Sesshoumaru had called, and soon they all arrived at a karaoke bar called Shinobi Kashou Sakaba.
"What's that mean?"Harry asked.
"It means Ninja Song Bar, a couple of my friends work here, actually this whole district is basically an undercover place for ninja to maintain a normal life while still carrying out missions," Rose said and led the way into the bar. The group was greeted by a few of the workers as they made their way to a large booth and all sat there. Yusuke was selected to go up first to sing by Botan to whom he glared at before walking over to the karaoke machine and choosing a song.
"Hey Rose," Harry said and Rose turned her head to her brother from watching Yusuke sing.
"Yes?" Rose said.
"I wanted to ask you something but I kept forgetting to ask you with all the training going on."
"Well ask away."
"Did Botan and Adrien have a relationship or something going on, because she seemed really affected by his death like you."
"Not exactly, Botan has known Adrien and I for a long time, but the reason she was affected as much as me is because Botan is the Grim Reaper, so she had to guide Adrien to the Spirit World."
"Oh I see," Harry said as Yusuke walked back over and looked at the three magic users.
"Hey I got an idea, since Blondie and Harry are new, they should sing and since we haven't heard Rose sing in a long time she should sing too," Yusuke said and Rose stared wide eyed at him.
"I dislike you right now Yusuke," Rose said sending a small glare at Yusuke who smiled back at her.
"Alright Blondie you're up first."
Draco looked at Rose who nodded that he had to do and he got up and walked over to the karaoke machine and began searching for a song before he nodded and got ready to sing. He smirked as country music began playing and Rose's jaw dropped as did the others in the group who knew what the song was. Rose shook her head as a smile broke out across her face and began giggling at Draco trying to hold in her laughter.
"I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry
I don't want to learn the hard way
Baby, hello, oh, no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's impossible
This kiss, this kiss Unstoppable
This kiss, this kiss
Cinderella said to Snow White
How does love get so off course
All I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby, I'm forever yours
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's unthinkable
This kiss, this kiss Unsinkable
This kiss, this kiss
You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let's let every thing slide
You got me floating, you got me flying
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's subliminal
This kiss, this kiss It's Criminal
This kiss, this kiss " Draco sang and Harry's mouth was almost literally dropped to the floor as Draco finished. He was quite good but no one expected him to sing that of all things. He got a standing ovation from the crowd and walked back over to the group
"What in the world was that about?" Yusuke asked not using any self restrain to block his laughter.
"I figured Harry and Rose could use some cheering up and what better way than that," Draco said and then tapped Harry's shoulder. "Alright your turn, show us what a brave Gryffindor can do, since Dumble-dork won't let you use the sorting hat and change into Slytherin."
"Yeah, what a freakazoid," Harry said and the two broke out laughing.
"Oh my demons and demonesses, someone help us, I've created two British teenagers that act like Americans," Rose said and everyone broke out laughing. Harry walked up to the karaoke machine and looked through the songs. He finally decided on one and waited as it loaded.
"Sometimes everthing seems outta my reach
No matter how hard I try
Sometimes I feel like nothing at all inside
With everything that I try to hold on to
Just seem to slip away
And though I fall it keeps calling me back againBut I keep looking
I'll find myself
I keep searchin to find the real me
Who am I tell me
Where do I come from
Who am I tell me
Cause its like I dont fit in at all
Sometimes I feel like runnin away
And leaving it all behind
And try to a place where I belong
If I keep lookin,
I'll find myself
I keep searchin to find the real me
Who am I tell me
Where do I come from
Who am I tell me
Cause its like I dont fit in at all
(am I)
am I
(am I)
Who am
I know
That I can do anything
Who am I
I know
That I can be anything
Who am I
I know
That I can do anything thing (anything thing)
Who am I
I know
that I can be anything
Who am I
I know
Yes I can be anything
Yes I can be anything at all." Harry sang. Everyone in the group clapped as Harry walked back over to the group with a smile.
"What a song, that almost describes you I think," Rose said with a thoughtful look. She smiled at Harry who laughed a little as he saw Yusuke shove Rose in the direction of the karoake machine. She hit him upside the head and walked over and looked through the songs as Harry sat back down.
"Nice choice of song Harry," Draco said.
"Thanks I have no clue what you were thinking with yours though." Harry said and Draco just smirked and shrugged. The two wizards turned their attention to Rose as she had finally chosen a song and was waiting as a slow tune began to play.
"I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes yea
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark
Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide yea
They're swept away and nothing is what it seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams
Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye
And there are voices that want to be heard.
So much to mention but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic, the beauty that's been
When love was wilder than the wind.
Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why,
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.
Listen to your heart mhmmmmm
I don't know where your going and I don't know why
Listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye." Rose sang and everyone was stunned.
"Whoa..." Harry and Draco said as Rose walked back over.
"I didn't know you could sing Rose," Harry said and she smiled sadly back at him.
"I used to sing a lot, I just stopped after what happened," Rose said and Harry nodded in understanding and that she sang when Adrien was still there but she had stopped when he died. An uneasy silence set before Kuwabara went up and sang "It's Raining Men" to make everyone break out in laughter, minus Hiei.
The night went on with everyone going up and singing and Kuwabara and Yusuke going up and embarrassing themselves by singing and dancing to "I Like to Move It", but it was a good night and the only one drunk was Chu, but that wasn't unusual. As the group headed back to Genkai's temple a fox ran out of the forest next to them and began circling the group and moving between and around everyones legs.
"Hey isn't that your fox Rose?" Yusuke asked and Rose nodded and the fox named Kit was circling around Harry's legs and rubbing against him like a cat.
"Kurama, can you find out what Kit wants to tell us?" Rose asked and Kurama nodded as Kit jumped into Harry's arms and settled there. Kurama and Kit chatted with a few yips, growls, and barks as the group continued on their way before Kurama turned to the three magic users.
"Kit said that Kuragari has struck in various places around the world where a few major criminals have turned up dead in their jail cells or dead on the streets." Kurama said.
"He's extracting his evil..."
Harry and Draco along with Yusuke and Kuwabara looked at Rose confused and she sighed.
"While Kuragari was sealed up his evil leaked out remember, it's gotten into a few select people over the centuries, mostly evil world leaders and such. His evil would locate a strong of amount of hate and resentment and dig it's way into said person like an annoying bug and plant itself inside them. From there Kuragari was able to work in little amounts his vast amount of evil around the world and over time. I think we should get back to England..."
"When?" Harry and Draco asked.
"Tonight."
------
It was almost 2 in the morning when Harry, Draco, and Rose exited a hotel in Hogsmeade. The three along with Kuro made their way back up to Hogwarts when a sound in the Forbidden Forest drew their attention. The three quickly got into magic defense positions when a centaur stepped out of the forest.
"Firenze?" Harry asked.
"Harry Potter, I was looking for you, someone needs your help, he is deep in the forest with Aragog and his clan of spiders. There is serpent with him demanding to know where you are." Firenze said. The three looked at each other with questioning and and astonished looks.
"You don't think it could be him do you?" Draco asked.
"It couldn't be, he's strong," Harry said.
"Only one way to find out," Rose said and turned to Firenze. "Please lead us to the one who is hurt."
Firenze nodded and began making his way back through the forest with Harry, Draco, Rose, and Kuro behind him. They soon came to a part of the forest that Harry recognized from his 2nd year at Hogwarts when he and Ron had driven Mr. Weasley's car through the forest to escape Aragog and his children. As they entered the spider nest they could make out a cobra circling a body lying on the ground unmoving as Aragog sat a few feet away to keep his children at bay. The three walked closer and gaped at who they saw.
"It's Voldemort!" All three magic users exclaimed in shock.
