Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ A Grim's Promise ❯ Chapter Seven ( Chapter 8 )

Disclaimer: I don't own the Harry Potter books or Yu Yu Hakusho

Summary: Two years before his death a powerful psychic made Sirius a promise. Now Genkai and Yusuke travel to London to keep it and throw the British magical community for a loop.

Warnings: Swearing and Yukina is probably OOC a bit. But I seriously don't think anyone could live with Genkai with out learning something. Even if it is just Keiko's almighty slap.

A/N: The last scene in Britain takes place around midnight and the scene with Yukina is around nine in the morning. There is a nine hour time difference between Japan and Britain.

A Grim's Promise

Chapter Seven

July 4th, Japan

Shizuru took a drag off her cigarette as she looked at the bird sitting at the kitchen table. She had seen some strange things in the past few years, but an owl carrying a newspaper was kind of cute. Weird, but cute. The owl hooted impatiently and ruffled its wings. "Relax bird. Kazuma should be down here in a minute."

The owl hooted happily and flew over to Kuwabara when he stomped into the kitchen grumbling. He gently put some bronze coins into the small pouch on the owl's leg when it dropped the paper in his hand. He sat down at the table and unrolled the paper, scanning it for something.

Shizuru watched the owl fly out the window before sitting at the table across from her brother. "You going to tell me what that was about?"

"Kurama can't have it sent to his house so he had it sent here. Someone's coming to stay at Genkai's and we're trying to figure out who." Kuwabara turned the front page and began scanning the next page.

"Have you asked Genkai?" Shizuru asked.

"Not there. She left with Yusuke."

Shizuru took another drag from her cigarette. "Yukina or Keiko might know something."

Kuwabara shook his head as he flipped to a new page. "Keiko doesn't know. Yusuke never told her. And Yukina does know but she won't tell us anything other than it has to do with some dog. Kurama said the dog was actually a wizard taking the shape of an animal." He gripped the paper a little tighter in frustration. "And shorty knows what's going on too. He's the one who told Kurama it was a wizard. Other than that no one is telling us anything."

Shizuru ground out her cigarette. "When do they come back?"

"Tomorrow."

"Let me see if I understand this. Genkai and Yusuke went somewhere to get someone and Yukina and Hiei won't tell you who it is. And Genkai and Yusuke come back tomorrow." Kuwabara grunted an affirmative as he turned the page. "Why don't you two wait until tomorrow to find out?"

"Because we want to know now." Kuwabara's eyes widened as he read an article. "Man, I knew that lady pissed him off but he didn't have to go do that. Shit. He's going to be in so much trouble if Koenma finds out about this." He dropped the paper as he stood up. "I've got to call Kurama. Be back in a sec." He ran from the room, looking for the phone.

Shizuru picked up the paper and looked over the article her brother had just finished reading. She smiled slightly as she read it and listened to her brother yell into the phone. Only Kurama would be that vindictive.

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

"Thank you," Kurama said to the waitress behind the counter. He took his coffee from her and stepped away from the counter. He dodged a few other early students as he stepped out of the coffee shop. He had another twenty minutes before his class started so he decided to take the long way. As he was walking slowly through the small courtyard his cell phone started ringing. Switching his coffee to his left hand, Kurama pulled his phone from his pocket. He smiled when he saw Kuwabara's name on the ID screen. Maybe getting that paper delivered had been a good idea after all.

"Good Morning Kuwabara."

"Don't you `good morning' me Kurama. You had your roses tie that woman to her ceiling. The cops found her hanging above her toilet! And that was after your plants had tossed her around her apartment for a few hours." Kurama pulled the phone away from his ear wincing.

"No need to yell Kuwabara. And I didn't ask them to do it. The plants did it all on their own." Kurama took a sip of his coffee, making a mental note to buy more of those vines to study. They had picked up on more of his disgust than he had thought.

"Yeah right. You're the only person I know who can order plants to do things like that!"

Kurama rolled his eyes. "All I did was tell them to make her life a little difficult."

Kuwabara scoffed. "And that would explain why she is currently being fined two hundred Galleons because she broke some law on experimental breeding and another three hundred Galleons for damages! The plants spread through out her apartment building and attacked the other residents. They wrecked a lot of the building in the process." Kurama chuckled. "It's not funny fox boy! And what the hell is a Galleon anyways?"

"It's wizarding money Kuwabara. I'm not exactly sure of the exchange rate to Yen. It's not too large of a fine though." Kurama took another sip of his coffee as he sat down on the steps outside the building his class was in, putting his bag down next to him. "At least not for the law she's accused of breaking."

"Yeah well, this counts as you breaking a law. What am I going to do if Koenma finds out about this?" Kuwabara groaned into the phone. "I don't want to have to arrest one of my friends."

Kurama snorted softly, waiting for some other students walk by before speaking again. "Not even Koenma is that stupid Kuwabara. That woman insulted my mother. He knows I don't tolerate that from anyone. Now enough about that. Is there anything in that paper about any British wizards?" He could hear the sound of paper rustling as Kuwabara flipped through the newspaper.

"Well, there's one article in the back. It's about some guys named Black, Lupin and Potter."

Kurama smiled triumphantly. He knew Black was involved with this. "Are you sure the names are Black, Lupin and Potter?" He pulled a note pad and pen from his bag and wrote down the new names. He tapped his pen against the pad, thinking. He knew he had heard the name Potter somewhere before.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"What is the story about?" It was quiet on the other end for a minute. "Any time now."

"Give me a minute, I'm reading it! Ah okay, this doesn't make any sense."

"Tell me and I'll explain Kuwabara." Kurama tucked the note pad back into his bag.

"Well, apparently this Black guy died and in his will he named a friend of his Potter's new godfather."

Kurama frowned; maybe Black wasn't involved after all. "What about that confuses you?"

"According to this it's a big deal because it's never been done before. This Lupin guy, that's Black's friend, is a werewolf. Kurama, do werewolves actually exist?"

"Yes Kuwabara, they do. They're quite common in America. They're a little rarer in Europe but that's because of the laws Europe has against them." Kurama sipped at his coffee trying to remember where he had heard the name Potter before. "Is there anything else?"

The line was quiet as Kuwabara scanned the rest of the article. "Um yeah. I think I found out who's staying at the temple."

Kurama tossed his coffee cup into the trashcan at the bottom of the steps. "How? It's not like that newspaper says renowned psychic Genkai is taking blah blah in to her home." The other teen was quiet. "Oh you have got to be kidding me! It doesn't really say that does it?"

"No, it doesn't say that but it does give a little back story about the reading of the will and who was there. I think that Potter kid is the one. It says here that Lupin couldn't be named Potter's guardian because he's a werewolf so Black chose someone else. It also says Genkai and her student were there."

Kurama looked up at the building. Ah, screw it. He could miss one day of class. "Kuwabara, do you mind if I come over? I want to take a look at that paper." He picked up his bag and began walking to the bus stop.

"You can if you want. But don't you have classes this morning?"

"I'm skipping."

Kuwabara laughed. "Yusuke's rubbing off on you huh? Better be careful, next thing you know Keiko's going to be dragging you around by your ear."

"Ha ha, very funny. I'll see you in thirty minutes." Kurama turned his phone off and put it back in his pocket. He played with the strap of his bag as he walked off the campus. Where had he heard the name Potter before?

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

Kurama stared at the newspaper spread out on the floor in Kuwabara's room. He and Kuwabara had torn the thing a part, looking for anymore articles about Black, Lupin or Potter. They had found a few letters to the paper discussing the werewolf and an article about werewolf laws in general. He was staring at one of the letters, reading it again. It was from a woman ranting about the despicable werewolf that had been given rights to the `boy who lived'. His eyes glanced up at the article about the will and then back again. How could he not have figured this out yesterday? All those reports about Black's arrest and escape had said he had been friends with the Potters and that he had attempted to kidnap his godson Harry after their deaths. Genkai had mentioned wizards when she had asked him to add plants to the barrier. And if you played around with it, Black's name even meant black dog. The clues had been right in front of him the whole time and he had missed it. But Kuwabara had opened a paper and figured it out in less than five minutes. Kurama had the urge to start screaming. This wasn't fair.

Kuwabara looked up from the paper at his friend worried. "Kurama, are you alright?"

Kurama looked up from the paper and smiled. It wasn't a good smile though. It was an `I'd like to hate you but I can't' smile. "I'm fine Kuwabara. I'm just upset."

"Why? We figured out who it is so what's the big deal?" Kuwabara shrugged, not noticing the scowl that briefly appeared on Kurama's face. "What I don't get is what's so special about this Potter kid. What does it mean when this lady calls him the `boy who lived'?"

Kurama rubbed his forehead sighing. "Kuwabara, do you remember how powerful Toguro was?"

"Yeah."

"When Potter was a baby there was a dark wizard named Voldemort. He was as powerful as Toguro was at the end of the Dark Tournament. No one survived when he decided to kill them. Potter was less than two years old when Voldemort went after him. Voldemort killed his parents but when he tried to kill him," Kurama tapped his finger on the letter, "he failed. Potter managed to reflect the attack Voldemort sent at him and it hit Voldemort instead." He looked at Kuwabara seriously. "He's considered the savoir of the wizarding world because he was the only one to ever beat Voldemort. He's also the only one to ever survive the man."

"You're joking right?" Kuwabara asked, laughing. He stopped laughing when Kurama just stared at him. "You're not joking. Damn." He frowned at the paper. "So is this kid as strong as Urameshi?"

Kurama shook his head. "No, he's not. Wizards develop their powers a lot slower than other humans and demons. He's probably developing his powers even slower because most of his energy was used reflecting that attack. Right now he's probably a C class but I'd say that by the time he's twenty five he'd rank as an A class. Right up there with Hiei and myself." He smiled. "I can't wait to meet him. I'd really like to see if I'm right."

Kuwabara looked at the kitsune oddly. "You're weird. You know that, right?"

"I am not weird. I'm just curious about his power level."

"Yeah, you're just curious about a kid who has the potential to one day be able to kick your ass." Kuwabara snorted. "Curiosity killed the cat Kurama."

Kurama calmly folded the paper back up. "It's a good thing I'm not a cat then." He put the paper in his bag and stood up. "I'm going to the temple to see if Yukina needs any help preparing for tomorrow. You want to come?"

Kuwabara smiled, forgetting all about the mystery guest. "Let me get my shoes and I'll meet you downstairs."

July 4th, Britain

Harry tried to ignore the hissing as he looked around the small parlor. The sounds Voldemort and Nagini made were not at all like the ones he made when he talked to his small snake. This sound was dark and frightening. Though it may have been the topic that bothered him more than the sound itself. They were gleefully discussing Bellatrix Lestrange's punishment. Harry shivered. No one, not even the woman who killed his godfather, deserved that. Harry was finally distracted from the sounds when the door to the parlor opened. He watched as Wormtail and another man, wearing a dark cloak with a hood that covered his face, entered the room. The two men walked slowly up to the throne-like chair Voldemort was in. Wormtail and the man bowed.

"I have brought him my Lord." Wormtail said. He stayed in bent over while the other man stood straight, looking Voldemort in the eye.

"Good, you may leave."

Harry turned to watch Wormtail leave the room and then turned back to the two men. He tried to get closer to see the strange man's face but the room started to fade. He tried not to leave but no matter what he did he couldn't hold on to the vision. As Harry's mind left Voldemort's he forgot about the vision and the strange man he had seen.

Yusuke and Genkai stood in the doorway of the bedroom, looking around the room. "I'm no Kuwabara but I know I felt something." Confused, Yusuke turned to look at Genkai. "You felt it too, right? I mean I felt him in here but there was something else."

Genkai nodded and looked at Harry, who was still asleep. "Look at his scar Yusuke. It's red. That may have been Voldemort's energy leaking through the link."

Yusuke walked over to Harry's bed and knelt down beside it to get a better look at the scar. The scar was fading back to its normal pale pink. "It's not red anymore." He turned his head to look at Genkai. "Should I wake him up?"

Genkai shook her head. "No; but stay in here in case he has another one. I'll have the house elves hold your breakfast until later." She went back to the small kitchen.

"Thanks Grandma." Yusuke called to her. He stood up and walked over to his bed. He picked up his Gameboy as he sat down on his bed. He looked at Harry as he turned it on. From what Harry and Lupin had told them those visions of Voldemort didn't just end like that. They usually caused Harry to wake up either screaming or clutching his scar in pain. What could have caused the vision to end like that?

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

"So you don't remember anything?" Yusuke asked Harry.

Harry pushed his plate back shaking his head. "No I don't." He looked at Yusuke and Genkai curiously. "Are you sure I had a vision?"

Yusuke glared at him. "Are you calling me a liar?"

"No. But it could have just been a nightmare or something." Harry sat back in his chair and reached up to touch his scar briefly. "My scar doesn't hurt. It always hurts after a vision from Voldemort."

Genkai looked up from the paper she was reading. "Your scar turns red when the link to Voldemort is active, correct?" Harry nodded. "Then you had a vision." She went back to reading her paper.

"Ha! Grandma even agrees with me!"

Harry frowned. "But it doesn't make any sense. If I had a vision why don't I remember it?"

"Who knows?" Yusuke shrugged then smirked at Harry. "The important thing is that I'm right and you're wrong."

Harry stuck his tongue out and blew a raspberry at the other teen. "Whatever." He stood up. "I'm going to take a shower now in case Remus comes early. Could you keep Hana in here?" he asked Yusuke as he pushed his chair back under the table.

"What, you don't want the cat to see you naked?"

Harry gave Yusuke an odd look. "I could care less about that. It's just whenever she gets into the bathroom the hot water stops working. I'm beginning to think that she follows me in there on purpose." He glared at the kitten as he walked past her out of the kitchen.

Hana looked up her bowl and started to follow the teen out of the kitchen before Yusuke grabbed her. "So that's your fault huh?" She meowed and Yusuke got an evil grin on his face. Genkai rolled her eyes when Yusuke put the kitten back down and went to open the bedroom door for her. Any minute now.

"Yusuke, get your freaking cat out of here!"

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

Remus started snickering as soon as the door closed behind him. That had been hilarious. When he answered the door Yusuke had looked completely normal. Then he had turned around to show Remus where the bedroom was. That's when he had seen the long blue and gold feathers hanging out of a hole in the teen's pants. It had taken all his self control not to laugh until he was in the bedroom. It reminded him of the time James and Sirius had spiked Severus's pumpkin juice to give the man fox ears for a week.

Harry looked up from his book and smirked at Remus as he sat down next to him. "He still has his tail feathers huh?" Harry picked up the box of candies next him and handed it to the man. "Wingers and Tails, one of the twins' new inventions. I didn't think it would last this long."

"How did they manage to get a flavor that would grow a blue phoenix tail?" Remus asked as he looked at the box.

"I don't know, but it was a pain trying to find a way to get him to eat it." Harry put his book down. "I finally had to smash it up and stick it in his sandwich. I'm surprised he didn't spit it out, I think it was licorice flavor."

Remus handed him the box back. "Is that why you're hiding in here?"

"Oh yeah. He did not look happy when thing started growing." Harry reached down to grab his shoes off the floor. "We're still going right?"

Remus sighed. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Harry nodded as he tied his shoes. "Yeah, I want to go before I leave tonight." He hopped off the bed and grabbed a small bag. "Are we still taking a portkey?"

"Yes." Remus pulled a long black scarf from his pocket and unrolled it. "Just grab the other end and I'll activate it."

Harry eyed the scarf warily. Ever since the tournament he absolutely despised portkeys. He reached out and tightly gripped the end of the scarf. "I hate these things."

"Sorry, but it's the only way. Ready?" Remus asked, giving him a reassuring smile. At Harry's jerky nod he spoke the activation word. "Sphinx."

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

Harry knelt down in front of the headstone. He reached a hand out to trace the names there. "Hey Mum, Dad. Sorry I haven't come before but it wasn't exactly safe for me to be here. Still isn't really. It took me an hour to convince Remus to bring me." He pulled his hand back and opened the small bag he was carrying. He pulled out a small clear orb. Inside were two tiger lily blossoms and a small stag figurine. "I don't know when I'm going to be able to come back so I made this." He put it on the ground in front of the headstone and tucked the bag into his pocket. He was quiet for a minute before he reached up to touch his mother's name again. "I promise I won't waste your gift Mum." He looked up when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Come on Harry. We need to leave before someone else comes by." Remus said softly. He held out his hand to help him up.

Harry nodded and grabbed the hand to let Remus pull him up. He looked at the gravestone then at Remus. "Do you think we could come here again next summer?"

"We can." Remus put his arm around Harry's shoulders and began leading him away. "And if you're able to miss class you can come with me on Halloween."

"Thanks Remus."

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

Harry yawned as he sat his trunk down on the floor of the Apparition room. He then sat down on his trunk, still holding on to Hedwig's cage. He stroked her feathers through the bars, trying not to fall back asleep. "Why are we leaving in the middle of the night again?"

Yusuke grunted as he dropped his bag and Genkai's suitcase. He sat down on the floor next to the trunk, holding Hana in his lap. "Genkai said something about getting used to the time difference or something." He yawned. "I wasn't really listening." He looked at the door. "Where is the old hag anyways?"

Harry tried to remember but his sleep deprived brain wasn't cooperating. "I think she's talking with the manager about something."

Yusuke looked at his watch and scowled. "Well, she better hurry up. We've only got another seven hours before the guys get out of class and come to the temple for the night. I really want to get some more sleep before that happens." He looked at Harry and realized something was missing. "Where's the snake?" Harry pulled up his sleeve to show Yusuke the snake on his arm. It hissed irritably, causing Harry to snort. Yusuke blinked tiredly at the snake. "What did he say?"

"You don't want to know. It wasn't nice." Harry said pulling the sleeve back down.

They looked up when the door to the room opened and Genkai walked in. She walked over to them and pointed at Harry. "You move over." She pointed at Yusuke when Harry moved. "You pick that bag up and sit down on the trunk next to him." She picked up her suitcase and pulled a long feather quill out of her pocket. "Now you two hold hands like good little boys and Yusuke, you grab the other end of this. We only have another thirty seconds before it works."

Yusuke sighed as he grabbed the other teen's hand then the feather. "At least I'm not getting my ear yanked off this time."

Mr. Pierson sighed tiredly when he heard the loud pop come from the behind the closed doors. He began walking away from the room and towards his office. Now he just needed to send an owl to his new employer telling him that his godson had left safely and then he could finally go to bed for the night.

July 5th, Japan

Yukina smoothed the blankets out one last time before she stepped back to look at the room. She and Keiko had spent quite a bit of time setting it up but it had been fun, especially the shopping part. Yukina rarely left the temple grounds with out one of the guys with her but sneaking out that day with Keiko and Shizuru had been worth it. In her opinion the boys were too over protective. Yes, she didn't like violence but that didn't mean she couldn't protect her self. Over the years Keiko, Shizuru, Botan and even Genkai had shown her simple ways to protect herself. Although it was nice to know that Kazuma and Hiei would always be there if she needed them.

She smiled as she left the room, thinking of Kazuma. All that time and effort Kurama had put forth into finding out about Harry and Kazuma was the one who had figured it out. He hadn't realized just how big a blow it was to the kitsune's pride that he had figured it out. She giggled as she opened the door to wait outside for Genkai and the boys. Kurama's face when he admitted that he wasn't the one had been priceless. He had actually pouted. It had been a small one but she had definitely seen it. She couldn't wait until she told Genkai and Yusuke. She had a feeling that Yusuke was going to never let Kurama live this down.

Author's Notes and Review Responses

1) Kurama gave Kuwabara the money to give to the owl for the newspaper. At this point the only thing Kuwabara knows about wizards is that they use their spirit energy differently and that they tend to live separate from other people.

2) There was a reason I had Sirius have a reporter present for the reading. David Brown's job was to report about the reading of the will in the Daily Prophet. That way people like Amelia Bones would hear about it in case Dumbledore still tried to take Harry away from Genkai via the courts. It had the unintended side effect of causing a scandal when Brown reported about Remus being named Harry's new godfather. It's the first time a werewolf had ever been openly named as a primary care giver for a child or teenager. That's why the articles were found in a Japanese wizarding newspaper. And if you're wondering, Kurama didn't find out anything about this the day before because he wasn't looking at recent newspapers or events, but ones anywhere from two to twenty years old.

3) Sirius is named for the Dog Star. It's a star in a constellation known as the Great Dog. So his name can be taken to mean dog black or black dog.

4) The orb that Harry made to hold the flowers is a preservation spell. It will keep the flowers fresh for roughly a year. If this scene feels rushed it was meant to be. Remus didn't want to stay around any longer than they had too. He was too worried about something happening.

5) I was playing around on the lexicon when I found this really interesting essay. It was about all the gifts Harry has ever received and the meanings behind them. One of the points it brought up was about the gift of life Lily gave Harry when she sacrificed herself in order to save him. It eventually sparked the idea of Harry visiting his parents' graves. If you've got the time you might want to go to the lexicon and read it.

Reviews:

Shessha's Crazy: Yusuke had it right in chapter three when he said Genkai was just trying to drive Kurama crazy by giving him a mystery. There's no other motive behind it. And it may not be nice to give Kurama headaches, but its fun!

kit-kat: Right now I'm still leaning towards Yusuke and Harry having a big brother/little brother friendship. Although Hana's secondary bond with Harry will have some uses somewhere else in the story. George was asking for a butt kicking but he doesn't know any better. Heck, if you go back through the story you'll see not even Harry knows that Yusuke's a demon yet. The only one who has a clue that Yusuke is more than he appears is Snape. Ah ages, okay. Yusuke is seventeen going on eighteen. Harry's fifteen, almost sixteen. Kuwabara is eighteen. Kurama's human form is eighteen going on nineteen. His Youko form's age is debatable. According to the English version of YYH he's three hundred but as far as I know the Japanese version never says. At least not according to the subtitles. I'm not even going to try to figure out Yukina and Hiei's ages because that would give me a migraine.

The Infamous Ducky: Thanks for the offer but I already have a beta. She just can't read anything I send her right now because her computer's on the fritz. Hopefully she can make it to a library soon and check her email there. I could really use her help finding all those little grammar mistakes I make.

demanicangel: I'm glad you like the story. I know that one was kind of obvious but I figured better safe than sorry.

Aura Black Chan: I like Mr. Olivade too. I needed someone incredibly stupid and Lockhart just appeared in my head. About Dumbledore, he's actually a very minor character in the story. He may make one or two more appearances before it's done but nothing major.

Birdy06: You really like them? I have some plans for them, especially the Wingers and Tails.

AMK: Yusuke named her that because he was going to give her to Yukina. He figured that it was girly enough that even Kuwabara wouldn't want to take Hana home.

Golden Rat: I'm going to try to work on that. But Genkai's going to be a little off around Harry for a while yet. She knows he's not in an emotionally stable state right now and is going to try not to push him.

Okaasan-7: Dumbledore is a very minor character. But I did sort of introduce the bad guy/girl this chapter. Whether he/she makes an appearance in this story or the sequel (if I decide to write one) is sort of up in the air at the moment.

Foxylilraven: Hana isn't going to be able to do that. Kind of wish she could but no. Hana is going to stay small, kitten sized actually. But there are some advantages to her being so small.

Cattibrie393: Dumbledore does come off as a scheming fool in the last chapter. But if you go back and reread the scene at the end of the will reading between Dumbledore and Remus you'll see that he truly believes that Harry is safest with the Dursleys. He feels that he's doing his best to protect him by trying to keep him there. That's the same reason he wants to train Harry. Unfortunately he's forgotten to meet those basic needs that all people require, like family and friends to support him. As my momma would say, he's missing the trees for the forest.

Okay, I think I got all the questions. At least I think I did. Thank you to everyone who reviewed and a special thank you to everyone who double checked Hana's name for me. Any Japanese I know comes from either fan fics or websites, which is kind of sad when I think about all the anime I watch. You'd think I'd pick something up by now. Also, I apologize to all the Kurama lovers who thought he'd get it. I couldn't help but let Kuwabara be the one. Thanks again for reviewing and like last time if you have any questions or comments leave it in a review and I'll answer.
