Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Harry Potter and The King of Thieves ❯ Chapter Thirteen ( Chapter 13 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Yeah! Look, another update! I think I’m going to try and speed up the story a bit. I want it to be long, but I don’t want it to be fifty chapters.
Caught you off guard last chapter, didn’t I? Thought it was going to be a short chapter, right? Ha! Fooled you! Anyway, on with chapter 13!

The silver fox slipped through the corridors as quickly as his tired body could go. When he woke up this morning, he was too restless to stay in bed to rest. So reverting to his fox form, he decided to explore. The outside called to him, wanting him to come out. The fox obeyed his instincts to stumble upon several green houses with extraordinary and interesting plants. Their life energy made him feel strong as he entered one, which was unfortunately occupied by a group of children and one of the teachers he met the night before: Professor Sprout.
The plants intrigued him entirely, and the book the teacher was reading sounded quite interesting (only because it was about carnivorous plants; maybe a few more plants to add to his offense). He hid among an odd tree, probably a less brutal cousin of the death tree.
His curious eyes wandered from each of the students, examining them thoroughly. He laughed silently as one of the boys began to prod at the mouth of a rather dangerous makai plants.
Idiot boy.
I agree with you on that one.
The Youko stretched his ki towards the plant, soothing and calming it before it struck the boy. Instead of spitting its acidic and poisonous miasma, it snapped at the boy angrily. The teacher began to yell at him.
Why did you have to go and do that?
Oh be quiet. I did it so he wouldn’t get hurt.
You humans are annoying.
The fox made himself comfortable between the branches of the tree and watched the remainder of the session. When it was done, Kurama yawned widely and stood up to stretch. Opening a golden eye, he noticed one of the boys staring at him. He slouched behind the leaves and waited for him to look away.
“Hey, did you guys see that?” Two other children looked his way again. They shook their heads and Kurama smirked.
That boy with the glasses… He seems familiar. Have we met him before?
No, and I was going to ask you the same thing.
Deciding to get a better look at them, Kurama leapt from the bush and landed on the table before them. They stared in awe at him. His ears slumped against his head in pain. His fox form whimpered and ran off in a flash. His wounds were not even near to healed and they hurt like hell.
Not one of my brightest moves.
No, not really.
So, here he was, trying to find his way back through the castle to the wing where the hospital was in. He tried his best to dodge students and teachers and kept hidden most of the time. His padded feet pitter patted quietly through the halls.
“Lookie, lookie! A little doggy!” The hoarse voice startled Kurama slightly. Looking up, he saw an apparition floating upside down, cackling annoyingly.
“Oh! A little demon in the halls, a little demon in the halls!” He screamed loudly, trying to get someone’s attention. The fox growled lowly and ran down the hall, but the little bugger followed him close behind.
“Foxy loxy fur and whiskers! A demon in the halls!” Kurama turned the corner sharply which was a big mistake on his part. The wounds on his side ripped open and his already broken arm cracked loudly. With a yelp, he tumbled to the ground and shook in pain.
I’m just full of good ideas today. The loud calls from the little man stopped abruptly and the sound of a footsteps came to his ears. Maybe it was one of the people he met last night.
“Well, well, well, Kurama. It’s nice to see you, up and about.” The figure of Severus Snape leaned against the was and smirked down on the wounded animal. Kurama growled deeply and got to his feet shakily.
“Come now, it’s not good if you get lost.” With that, he walked away, leaving Kurama gaping. He stopped and turned around, sneering at him.
“Well?” Kurama looked around uneasily and followed the greasy teacher. He didn’t speak as he lead the fox back to the hospital. As they got to the oak doors, Snape turned to him.
“I would change back into that ridiculous disguise of yours. We wouldn’t want anyone to know of your… Secret.” Kurama glare, and began the somehow painful transformation back into his human state.
Do you ever remember this being painful?
Must be because of our lowered energy.
And soon, replacing the five tailed kitsunes was a gasping sixteen year old boy. Snape helped him up and allowed Kurama to lean on him for support. Just before he could open the doors, they swung open to reveal a rather stressed out Poppy.
“Oh, Snape! You found him!” She rushed and grabbed Kurama and helped him into bed.
“What were you thinking? It’s dangerous for a muggle like you to be wandering the corridors of this school! What if someone saw you? And look, you reopened your wounds!” Her chiding went on for the rest of the day before Kurama could get any rest.
She worries too much, but I do appreciate it.
Feh.
Madame Pomfrey then left the room and let Kurama regain the strength he lost. Taking this chance before she came back in to scold him once more, he quickly fell asleep.

“So, I wasn’t imagining it,” Ron sighed and sat down on a comfy chair in front of the fire. Harry and Hermione took their spot on a couch across from Ron. All three sat silent, staring at the glowing fire, Hermione was hard at work thinking. Her concentrated look turned to an astonished one, and she smiled brightly.
“That was it! It has to be!” Her smiled widened as Ron raised an eye brow.
“That was what? A five tailed dog? Maybe we should ask Hagrid-”
“No! That was a silver fox! The kind from Harry’s dreams! That animal we saw was its truest form.” The to boys looked nervously at each other.
“Is it the same one?” Hermione shrugged and her smile disappeared.
“I don’t know. If it were in a more humanlike form, we could tell. Though, was it just me, or was their blood on his fur?” A lump in Harry’s throat formed at the thought of it being the being from his dream. It was possible, but if it was, why was it here?
“We can’t jump to conclusions though,” Ron stated, trying to fill in the silence between them. Hermione smiled slyly.
“Why Ron, that’s the most intelligent thing you said to us since you got here. I must be rubbing off on you.” She giggled as Ron blushed wildly and made a disturbed, shocked face.
“Maybe we can ask Dumbledore?” Harry looked into the fire distantly. His brain was in a jumble again. Unanswered questions from before popped into his head and took up all his concentration space.
“Lets not talk about this anymore… I don’t feel like it.” Hermione patted Harry on the shoulder and gave him a smile.
“Don’t worry. If it makes you feel any better, we’re here for you and whatever might happen, we will stay here with you.” Ron smiled as well and nodded.
“I know.”

How was that? Yeah, it’s short, but you have to give me some props. I finished thisten hours after I posted last chapter. That's little considering I was sleeping those hours. Anyway, I am hoping I’ll get the next chapter up later on today. Why am I making such updates all of a sudden? Well, I got nothing to do, I’m going away this weekend for Easter and my sister and brother are hogging both ps2s.
Peace out, home dawgs.
