Harry Potter and The Best Defense

Chapter 1

Yuuske sighed and rose from his bed. The last month had been a hassle. After earning the basics of this wizarding world, Kurama had rushed them to Diagon Alley to grab books and their school supplies. It was torture for Yuuske and Hiei to learn how to speak English and try to cram five years of wizarding school into their heads.

Luckily, for Yuuske, it was August 31st and tomorrow they would be put to the test.

Hiei felt the same way. He just couldn't understand why these ningen learned all of this stuff, then not even try to kill each other. Besides, Hiei had once said, these "spells" were weak and the Killing Spell Adarva Kedeva was just a mere dot compared to his power. And these wizards thought they were better than normal humans were, it would come to a big surprise when they found out about demons then.

Yuuske was startled out of his thoughts when his mirror starting ranting at him. "Will you get up you lazy bum! Jeesh, I can't believe I'm your reflection."

Yuuske growled at the offending mirror and quickly got dressed. He would love to go back home, to Japan or the Makai, anyplace that doesn't have talking mirrors, beds, etc.

He headed downstairs to find Kurama and Hiei already there.

Hiei glared at him when he sat down, "Finally you're up Yuuske. Did you plan to sleep through the whole morning, ferret?"

Yuuske growled at the use of the dreaded nickname, "Shut up, Hiei. I've already faced my reflection telling me that. I'm a little short tempered right now."

Kurama sighed and set down his cup, "Since today's our last day here, why don't we go and browse around for the day. I don't think you would want to study today, and anyway I think you've learned everything."

This statement was greeted by enthusiastic agreement. By now, they had totally forgotten about the other two people who were supposed to be with them, and they were heading towards them as they spoke.

Yuuske, Kurama, and Hiei walked down the now familiar streets, stopping occasionally at a store. They soon came to a pet shop.

Kurama jumped when a silver, fox/wolf/cat came dashing out of the store, it's owner chasing after it. This animal was odd, it was a lot larger than a normal cat, reaching to about knee height. it has what looked like super soft silver fur with a golden star burst on its head. The things eyes were golden and it's tail was as log as it's body, and quite bushy. The store owner was screaming at it, her words along the lines of I've had it with you.

The large fox/wolf/cat scampered behind Kurama, hiding behind the youko.

The shop owner stopped when she saw that the animal was happily rubbing itself against Kurama's legs. She quickly walked up to him, and surprisingly grasped Kurama's hands. "He seems to like you. Will you please take him. Free of charge too. This thing's a hassle and all it causes is chaos in here."

Kurama blinked and smiled slightly, "Sure I'll be glad to take him off your hands."

The woman smiled and rained thanks on him. Suddenly there was a crash from inside and two black owls, one with red eyes the other with gold flew out. They seemed to be chasing each other in anger.

The red eyed bird flew out and perched itself on Hiei's head, it's body blending in perfectly with Hiei's deep black hair. Hiei growled and tried to get the bird off of his head, but his efforts were in vain. "This thing is as bad as Norkie." he murmured to himself.

Yuuske had just started to laugh at him when the other bird came to perch on his shoulder, glaring at the other owl.

The shopkeeper seemed to be deliriously happy. She rushed up to Hiei and Yuuske, begging for them to take the birds.

They eventually agreed, just to get the shopkeeper from annoying them.

When they neared the end of Diagon Alley, Yuuske, who was walking in front, bumped into someone, knocking them both over. Yuuske looked up, ready to tell who ever it was to watch where they were going, when he recognized who it was.

"Jin? Touya? What are you doing here?!" he practically screamed at the two.

Kurama and Hiei were thinking along the same lines, but thought that they shouldn't agree and that it was best to keep quiet.

Jin blinked at Yuuske, "Ya mean you don't know? Why we're the two who are supposed to be accompanying you three to that Hogwarts place."

Yuuske blinked in confusion, then his eyes lit up in remembrance. "You two are going with us?" He asked to make sure.

Jin ad Touya nodded yes in reply to that question.

Touya sighed, "You don't know how hard it was to cram three years worth of knowledge into Jin's head. It was a hassle all right."

Kurama nodded knowingly, "I had it just as hard as you did. I had to do the same with Yuuske and Hiei."

The other three objected to this. "It couldn't have been that hard!" they all cried out, scaring some of the witches and wizards passing them.

Kurama and Touya looked at each other, bursting out laughing. "It was ten times harder than you think it was!" They both said in union.

The other three continued to grumble as they walked back to the Leaky Caldron.

The next day was rushed. Hiei and Yuuske had forgotten to pack the night before, thus they only succeeded to stuff everything in their suitcases. It didn't help that Kuro-chan, Kurama's cat, kept on rummaging through the suitcases. Also, to add with the confusion, Shinagami and Raizen, Shinagami was Hiei's and Raizen was Yuuske's, were chasing each other in the air, and preventing Jin from floating with out chancing getting badly scratched.

They somehow managed to get to King's Cross-Station on time. The problem was when they got there. According to their ticket numbers they should board the train at Platform nine and three-quarters. There wasn't such a platform.

They wouldn't have made it if Hiei hadn't seen a few kids go through a wall in-between platform ten and platform nine.

They passed through the wall and arrived at platform nine and three-quarters. The group of five soon boarded the train, getting the last cart.

Kurama sighed and settled down into his seat. It was finally time to relax. the others did the same, all of them tired from the day so far.

Kuro-chan walked up to him, and curled up on his lap, purring gently. Hiei glared at it, for it had taken his usual spot.

Yuuske sighed, "Wake me up when we get there, guys. I'm in the need of much sleep."

Touya sighed, "Sure, sure, as long as we're still awake by then."

They all then settled down to get much needed rest.

Harry, Ron, and Hermonie sighed in annoyance. Someone had locked the last car off, refusing them their usual place in this train. Harry sat down in the second to last cart, as Hermonie and Ron did the same.

"Hey, Harry. Did you know that we're getting exchange students this year? I heard they come from Japan." Hermonie asked Harry.

Ron sat up straight in his chair, "Exchange students?" he questioned.

Hermonie nodded her head, "Yes, and guess what, they exchanged with Gryffindors."

"What year?" Harry asked her.

"Why fifth-years of course, it seems that we're going to have to get to know them, they'll be in most of our classes."

"We have to share our dormitories with new students, they're going to be a hassle." Harry murmured, his year had not gone well so far. He had to spend the whole summer with the Dursleys and only managed to get one letter from Sirius and Remus.

Ron also grumbled about this, "They're going to be bullied too. I hope the teachers don't expect us to help them."

Hermonie sighed, "Be nice to them you guys. They're going to be going to a new school and won't know anyone but the other exchange students."

"Yeah, and they'll probably not understand a word of English too." Ron grumbled.

"We might as well try to be their friends. Anyway I heard that in Japan that there are a lot of street gangs. If that's true they could probably take care of themselves." Harry supplied.

Ron and Hermonie nodded in agreement and their conversation drifted off onto another subject.

Harry, Ron and Hermonie settled into their seats at Gryffindor's table. There was five empty seats next to them though, two next to them and three across. They only half paid attention to Professor Dumbledore as he went through the sorting ceremony and the rules. They did pay attention to the next part though.

"Gryffindors, I hope you have noticed that five of your classmates are not with you right now. This is because they are currently in Japan." Dumbledore announced.

This announcement sent curious whispers throughout the Great Hall.

Dumbledore held his hand up for silence. "In truth this is because we are doing an exchange program with one of Japan's wizarding schools. As some of you might have already guessed, five Japanese wizards are here to take the place of our five missing fifth years."

Dumbledore motioned towards the double doors across from him. All of the students turned in their seats to see the new comers.

They walked in through the doors in a single file line, each wearing the Hogwarts uniform, a simple black robe.

The first one had black hair slicked back with some kind of gel, and his brown eyes were hard. He walked with a swagger, of one that was extremely strong. But his walk wasn't one of exaggeration. You could clearly see that he had survived many battles. It was Yuuske, although Harry and his friends didn't know it at that time.

The second one was short, there was no other way to describe him. He seem aloof from the others, even though h was near the middle of the line. His hair stood up straight oddly, and had a white star-burst in front. It seemed to be tied back by a white headband. His small red eyes seemed to be harder than the leader's, and also showed experience from many battles. He walked though, not with the swagger and heaviness of usual fighters. This person walked with a deadly grace and spring that told anyone that he was as fast as he was strong. That was Hiei, of course.

The man in the middle had was as odd and dangerous seeming as the first two. He had the oddest eyes. They seemed pupil-less and were an ice blue in color. Your first impression of him was cold and merciless. He seemed one who could kill you without even blinking. This was of course Touya.

The second to last person in line had bright orange hair that stood out all over the place. He had the most trusting colbat blue eyes and a large grin was plastered to his face. He seemed to have a spring in his step and he walked lightly, as if walking on air. This was someone who you could trust. But, you could see well formed muscles under the robe he wore, which proved that he must be as strong as the others. That was Jin.

The last person made eyes goggle, for both boys and girls, mainly since you couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl. Either way he, or she, was gorgeous. Long rose red hair framed his/her face. It was long, nearly waist-length and was messy, but in an attractive way. Green eyes wandered through the crowd. It was such a green that put Harry's to shame. He/she had pale delicate skin. He/she was tall and walked with such a grace that he/she seemed to float while everyone else walked. Yet, there was a mysteriousness to him/her. He/she seemed to be as sly as a fox, and as smart as one too. You could see no muscles, so almost everyone in the Great Hall thought that he/she was the brains of all five, and was the one that the other four would protect. Some people, example Draco, didn't care if it was a boy or a girl, they wanted her/him either way. For you Kurama fans, you must of guessed it was him.

Harry and Ron couldn't help but stare at Kurama as he and the others walked towards Gryffindor's table. Hiei and Kurama sat next to Harry, Ron and Hermonie, unfortunately, Hermonie was the one who got to sit closest to them. Yuuske, Jin and Touya, sat across from Hiei and Kurama.

Dumbledore quickly finished his speech and dinner was started.

Hiei hated this. People were staring at Kurama and he hated it. He was his and no one else's. The worst part was that he couldn't show it since these people didn't tolerate homosexual relationships like the people in Japan. Another reason to hate this mission.

Kurama sighed to himself. He could fell eyes on him and Hiei's jealous rage. He hoped that Hiei could keep check on it.

Kurama turned to the three people next to him. Smiling at them gently he introduced himself in perfect English. "Hello, My name is Kurama Minamino. What's yours?"

Hermonie, taken aback by his perfect English and politeness had to reply. "Mine is Hermonie Granger." She turned to Harry and Ron. "This is Harry Potter and Ron Weasley."

They were surprised slightly when Kurama didn't stare at Harry or his scar. Instead he smiled at them, "These are my friends."

Yuuske smiled at them, "I'm Yuuske Urameshi."

Touya sighed, "Touya Ninjesta."

Jin smiled, "Jin Airena."

Hiei grumbled, "hn." he murmured, not bothering to be polite like the others.

Yuuske sighed, "This is Hiei Jagenshi. Don't mind him, he's like this to all of us."

Hermonie stared harshly at Hiei, who didn't seem to notice. how she despised rude people!

They spent the rest of the dinner talking. Harry and Ron, to their embarrassment, also found out that Kurama was a boy not a girl as they had presumed.

They also found out that the others were quite nice and seemed to have a wide sense of humor.

By the end of dinner they had all become close friends. Even Hiei began to talk with them when he noticed that Harry and Ron wouldn't try to get Kurama to date them anymore.

All in all it was perfect as the boys entered their dormitory room. Kurama looked around and found that Kuro-chan wasn't there, though.

They all undressed wearily and got into their separate beds. Yuuske, Harry and Ron didn't even bother to pull up the covers they were so tired.

Kurama sighed as he lay in bed, thinking to himself. Wondering how this mission would turn out since all they had to do was protect the student of this school.

It shouldn't be that hard, he though to himself.

I wouldn't count on it, Kurama. Youko countered. Wherever Yuuske and you guys go, trouble always follows. I wouldn't be so surprised if it is harder to keep ours and the others natures from your three new friends. Especially during the full and sickle moon.

That's true, youko. It probably would be a lot harder than expected. With that he fell asleep.

Now Review please. I would love it if you did.
