CHAPTER 4

Harry knew something was off. He knew that Yuki had left him, he didn't know how he knew, but he did. He knew that if something were to attack him right now and he couldn't handle it she wouldn't be able to make it in time save him. That fact alone would have been enough to set him on edge, but that coupled with his bad premonition pretty much made him paranoid to no end. He was jumping when first years gasped, then let out a sigh when they pointed to his scar. He was `eep'ing when people came up behind him. Worst of all, he was jumping when Hermione or Ron touched him.
He just knew something horrible was going to visit Hogwarts. And, judging from the looks on their faces, Ron and Hermione knew it too. Harry finally managed to smooth frayed nerves when the Sorting Hat began to sing. There was just something relaxing about the deep tenure that the mystical hat emitted. He let out a longsuffering sigh and smiled reassuringly at Ron.
"I bet its nothing. We are safe at Hogwarts."
Hermione snorted at Ron's remark.
"I don't remember ever being safe here."
Harry gaped at her.
"What do you mean?"
She turned in her seat next to him so she could face him. While she was turning she had closed her eyes in the patented Hermione isn't-it-obvious-by-now looks. When she opened her eyes and mouth to talk but nothing came out save for a strangled sob. Harry gave her a questioning look. He was more than a little concerned, the last time she had gone that pale was in the girls bathroom when that mountain troll tried to….
Harry's thoughts screeched to halt when he heard the hollow roar he was all to familiar with. Turning slowly he was greeted by an exceptionally large mountain troll filling the doorway to the Great Hall. The troll bellowed again and turned its beady black eyes around the room. Finally its gaze fell on the far table of Gryfindors(sp?). The first years, who were too scared to move, let alone cast the proper spell.
Without so much as a whisper of a thought to his own safety he rose. He walked calmly into the isle and looked the monster in the face. The troll's eyes immediately followed his every move, like a predator. Harry swallowed, but showed no sign of backing down. Suddenly the troll charged him, the tree trunk it was using as a club raised above its head. His hand flew to the pocket where he kept his wand and instantly remembered it was on the table to his left. Harry was about to make a mad dash when he saw the troll fall forward and land face first on the milky tiled floor. Standing on his back was a growling Yuki.
For the first time Harry was actually afraid of her. Her clawed hands where clenched into fists, her fangs and claws elongated. Her eyes had bled red, so the only color that wasn't crimson was her pupil, a small slice of black in a sea of bloody scarlet. She was tense and her upper lip had curled back into a snarl. The rumbling was coming from her chest again, a sound he had come to associate with anger.
She jumped nimbly off the troll's neck and landed in front of him, her face a mask of barely contained rage.
"WHAT THE FUCK?! I cant believe you just fucking did that! What the fuck were you thinking? How the fuck you put yourself in a situation like that? I thought you were way the fuck smarter than that? FUCKING KAMI! WHY DID I HAVE TO GET THE STUPID ONE?"
Harry flinched at each `fuck' and was looking down at the ground in shame. He half-heartedly mumbled an answer.
"Iwastryingtosavethefirstyears.theyweretoscaredtomove,soihadto. icouldntletthemdie." (I was trying to save the first years. They were to scared to move, so I had to. I couldn't let them die)
She sneered and continued to berate him.
"Save them hmm? Couldn't let them die hmm? WELL NEXT TIME DO! Your life more important than theirs! Will they….no, never mind. Just go, get away from me…Away!"
Harry raised his eyes to apologize and gasped. He paled and tried to warn her but it was to late. The stump/club came with crushing force, knocking Yuki into the far wall. Harry watched it as if it were in slow motion. Yuki's face scrunched up as if she were annoyed and she flew across the room. He watched as she gracefully flipped and bounced lithely off the wall she was supposed to be crashing in too. She frowned as she flew closer then brought her right hand up and shot a ball of black flames at the troll. Its scream slowly reached his ears and seemed to go on forever in perfect agony. Finally the flames completely devoured his form and Yuki landed softly before him, after several flips to slow herself down.
As soon as her feet touched the ground Harry seemed to come back into himself. He shook his head and looked at Yuki who was glaring at pile of ash that was once the troll. Suddenly she turned on him and spoke in a threatening voice.

"Don't think you're off the hook. If you ever do that again I will personally rip out your entrails and strangle you with them."
Harry took an involuntary step back and laughed nervously.
"Ehe…ya ok."
Suddenly groaned, making Yuki lose her threatening façade.
"Shit, what is it?"
Harry shook his head, telling her he was fine, then turned to the silent teacher's table.

"Um Headmaster Dumbledoor? This is Yuki Neko."
Yuki cleared her throat and elbowed him in the ribs>
"Oh don't make me say that!"
"It's important, wouldn't you tell people you were a wizard from Hogwallops?"
Harry shook his head and smiled at her.
"Hogwarts, and yes…I guess. But only under the right circumstances, and this isn't one of them!"
She snorted and turned her back on him.
"Fine then, if you are going to be that way. I, personally, thought you were better than looking down on other peoples cultures and back grounds…but I guess I was wrong."
Harry's mouth dropped open. He sputtered for a few seconds then turned to the teachers and said in a loud voice so everyone in the Great Hall could hear.
"This is Yuki Neko, a cat demon thief and assassin, who just happens to be very good at what she does. She is my `bodyguard' for the time being, and I was hoping she could stay with me. It would make her job that much easier."
Dumbledoor rose and bowed to her.
"It would be an honor to have someone of youkai lineage staying in Hogwarts. I am Albus Dumbledoor, the Head Master here. I will happily allow you to say in Gryfindor."
At this Yuki snorted and turned her back on the teachers.
"Like you could have stopped me."
From behind her a greasy black haired man rose to his feet, cheeks flushed with anger.
"You will show more respect to the Headmaster, demon!"
His sneering voice seemed to rub against her senses in all the wrong ways. In an instant she was by his side, her tail swinging lazily behind her. Her stance was relaxed and her voice held no malice, only her eyes belied her anger. They had returned to their natural state when she was yelling at Harry, but were tinting pink again.

"You, human, will learn your place."
Dumbledoor rose to placate the demon the look she sent his way made his knees go out. Most of the students were shocked that this small blue woman had power over their unconquerable headmaster, and those that weren't were frightened. Terrified, more like. All of the first years wanted to run and hide in the dorms, except they didn't know were they were or how to enter. The second year's faith in Dumbledoor had been shaken but not lost. And all others were simply amazed that she had sent him to his knees (or the equivalent) with just a look. The only ones who thought of Snape's welfare were the teachers and a few of the more kindhearted students.
Harry took a step forward only to take two steps back when Yuki turned her fierce stare on him. The first thing that came to mind was stand down stupid, I don't want to die. Taking his own good advice he slowly backed away to his seat at the Gryfindor table.
Yuki was impressed. First the old man then the boy, maybe these new age humans weren't as dull as their ancestors. Getting back to the matter at hand she brought her tail up to wrap loosely around the greasy man's neck.
"You are on the bottom of the food chain. Humans are lower than low. They are even below filthy half-breeds. And you, my pitiful excuse for a man, are on the lowest rung of the lowest link. Demons on the other hand are second only to the gods. So if I ever hear you speaking down to any demons or their human friends, I will tear off your limbs one by one leaving only your torso and ears so you can hear every scream uttered because of your vile appearance. Have we come to an understanding? Hmm?"
Snape swallowed hard, his Adam's apple hitting the cool jewelry adorning her tail. Slowly he nodded.
Yuki smirked mentally. Now to make him love and hate you at the same time. Leisurely she leaned in, rubbing her breasts on his arm and back. She leaned in and purred in his ear, the rumbling from her chest only adding to his attraction. She whispered in his ear, her lips lightly brushing it.
"Don't think you are safe here."
Yuki could feel his anger coming off of him in waves. She smirked and let her tail slide down his back, causing his emotions to spike. As she was walking back to Harry's side she put a seductive swing into her hips, and let her magic spread out. She felt the eyes of every male in the large room on her curves. She smiled brightly at Harry when she sat down opposite him at the table, next to Ron.
"Hello boys."
Her voice was soft and lilting. It drew in more people the more magic she used. Smirking mentally she rose and left while they were still dazed from her spell. Yuki chuckled to herself; she hadn't used that spell in a long while. When was the last time? Yuki smiled gently then scowled as the memories flickered across her vision.
Ah yes, I remember. He was the last, I never expected to use it again…mind tricks tend to stir unpleasant recollections. It would be about now wouldn't it…hmm what is the year?
Yuki cut off her rambling thoughts and stuck her head into the room she was going to look at before the incident with the oni. Her eyes widened slightly as she saw someone she never thought would have survived.
