Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Year One ❯ The Effect of a Wall ( Chapter 2 )

Inside the Leaky Cauldron was full of life.

"Hello, miss! What can I do for you?" someone asked from behind the bar.

"Uh... Do you know how to get to Diagon Alley?" Kagome asked nervously.

"Diagon Alley, you say? You see that door over there? Go through there- Hey Hagrid, the usual?"

The man turned away, she had been totally forgotten in the arrival of a giant, it seemed.

"I guess I'll take the door." Kagome said to herself.

She went through the door to come face to face with a brick wall.

Kurama and Hiei went inside the Leaky Cauldron. They saw the girl asking a question of someone.

With their improved youkai hearing, they heard what was said.

"Diagon Alley, you say? You see that door over there? Go through there- Hey Hagrid, the usual?" the man asked, turning to someone behind the pair.

"Nope Tom, important-" Kurama and Hiei didn't catch the rest of the conversation as they followed the girl through the door and saw a brick wall.

*****

'Someone's following me.' Kagome thought as she stood facing the wall. She had the feeling someone was following her earlier, but had ignored it. She suddenly turned around and said.

"Why are you following me?"

*****

Kurama was shocked when he saw the brick wall. He looked over at Hiei to see if he was also, but of course, couldn't tell for Hiei's had on his stotic mask.

But Kurama jumped back in surprise when the girl in front of them suddenly turned around and asked why they were following her. Hiei just stood there, with no response.

"Why are you following me?" she asked again.

"Oh! Right. We were just following someone who seemed to know where they were going." Kurama said truthfully.

"Oh! Well I don't really know where I'm going so..." trailed Kagome.

"Then maybe we could try and find where to go together?" Kurama asked, hoping for another companion beside the silent fire apparition.

"Ok! I could use a companion right about now." said Kagome, glad that someone else had brought it up.

Kurama could visibly tell the relief in her eyes. 'She must be lonely.' he thought

"My name is Suichi Minamino, and this is Hiei." said Kurama.

"Oh! Forgive my manners. I'm Kagome Higurashi. Nice you me you Suichi, Hiei."

"Pleasure." said Kurama.

"Hn." was all Hiei said.

*Why do we need her companionship, Fox? She's just a ningen.* Hiei said to Kurama telepathically.

*So I can have someone that will carry on a conversation* Kurama answered.

*Hn* was all Hiei said.

*Exactly* Kurama said before Hiei closed their link. That earned Kurama a glare from Hiei.

"Shall we go?" asked Kurama, for the moment forgetting their predicament.

"Ah, how?" asked Kagome, looking again at the brick wall in front of them.
