Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Best Defense ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 4 )

Hi! It's me, Yo-ma! I am soooo sorry for not updating for awhile. My Computer broke down! Luckily, I managed to fix it in time for winter break. I've been working on this chapter for a few days, so I'd like some reviews please!

Here's some answers for the people who reviewed:

Blaque Mydnight: To tell the truth, I have never read your story. I did contact you about it, but you never replied. Are you dropping it or something? Tell me please!

Chris: I did write less this chapter, its only nine pages instead of 14. But I like long stories, so if I do write less a chapter, I'll have way to many chapters. It would confuse me. I'll keep to writing about nine pages per chapter. Thanks for the compliment though, I dreamed of this one night. It was odd though, since I didn't know about HP/YYH Crossovers then.

smilez: Thanks! Here's your update!

Morrisa: Thanks for the pocky! Kurama and Hiei are mine for a month! *Smirks Evilly* I can't wait to have fun with them.

Blueberrychoco; tomboy101; Clow Angel; rinkurocks; Snape's lover; Hogwarts, a history girl; SlytherinIceQueen; MistressCoCoLoVer; Maximum Poofy-Confused Queen: Thanks for your support, it helped a lot! I love all of you reviewers!

Monarth: Well, here's their reaction to the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class! I agree, I can barely find any fanfics with Jin and Touya in there. *Sniffles*

Chronicles Bailey: Sorry! Kurama and Hiei are disturbed again. I promise that there will be some action between the two later though!

Wildfire's Flames: Thanks for the Review! I loved writing the Potions class, though it took a few minutes to think of good questions.

blank: Well here's your update. I forgot to put this in the story, but Jin has a ward over his horn and ears, to hide them from humans. My mistake!

black kaze kitsune: *eating cyber cookie* Thanks for your encouragement! *Whispers* I was helped by my computer, the truth is I can't spell very well. Don't tell anyone though. ^_^

Zaeria: You're the only one who has read another one of my stories. I'm so happy! Hiei's going to unleash the black dragon on a demon, sometime soon. I couldn't hurt an innocent human. Well, I could, but I don't think Kurama would let him. I'll send you a copy of Reunion, since I think it was taken off of Fanfiction.Net! *Pouts* And yes, Harry does have a thing for Draco. There's more of that in this chapter. *Smiles* Kurama's playing matchmaker!

Amethyst Bubble: Yea! Draco/Harry will be a pairing! And so is Shishi and Suzuki, you almost never see them in YYH stories so I decided to put them in mine.

ShiTiger: You're another one who's read more than one of my stories! Thank you so much!

Foxflame and Almightly Neko-chan: Thank you for reviewing! Here's the next chapter, I hope you can give me good ideas! (You'll see what I mean at the end!)

Harry Potter and the Best Defense

Chapter 3

The next day Yuusuke was shaken awake by a frantic Kurama.

"You're going to be late for breakfast!" Kurama yelled at him.

Yuusuke just turned over and pulled the blanket over his head. "Leave me alone." he murmured into the pillow.

"Fine then, I'll just go get Hiei to come in here." Kurama stood and was about to leave when Yuusuke suddenly bolted up, the blanket flying off of him.

"I'm up already!" Yuusuke screamed as he jumped out of bed. he quickly began get dressed as Kurama exited the room.

Kurama walked down to the Gryffindor common room, where the others were waiting.

That was cheap. Youko murmured to Kurama.

You would of done the exact same thing. Kurama replied.

True. Youko said before cutting their connection again/

Kurama smiled at his friends as he walked towards them. "Yuusuke will be down in a minute." he informed them.

Kurama then walked over to stand behind Hiei, laying a hand on his shoulder.

Another second or so later, Yuusuke ran down the steps. "Hurry! We're going to miss breakfast."

Harry, Ron and Hermonie couldn't help but laugh at Yuusuke's antics.

"Hn. Idiot. If you had looked at the time you would have seen that we are early for breakfast, not the other way around." Hiei said to Yuusuke.

Yuusuke rounded on Kurama, his eyes narrowing.

Kurama smiled nervously, "It was their idea." he pointed to Jin and Touya.

Touya smiled slightly, "We wanted to tell you something."

"What?" Yuusuke nearly growled, he wasn't in a very good mood at the moment.

"Jin and I found out who the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is going to be."

"Who?!" Hermonie jumped in.

Ron turned to Harry, "She seems a little enthusiastic about a new teacher."

Harry smiled at his best friend. "A little too enthusiastic."

"It's Shishi!" Jin yelled happily. "He and Suzuki arrived late last night!"

Kurama smiled slightly, "This will be interesting."

"Who's Shishi and Suzuki?" Harry asked Jin, curious.

"Friends of ours from Japan." Jin replied.

"Oh."

Later, they were sitting around the breakfast table, when the great hall doors opened and Shishiwakumaru came striding into the room. Whispers quickly spread around the hall, wondering who this newcomer was spread around the hall.

Hermonie turned to Touya. "Is that Shishi?" she asked, her eyes glued to him, unlike other girls. They still seemed to be more interested with Kurama, much to Hiei's dissatisfaction.

Touya nodded. "That's Shishi."

Hermonie could only stare. Ron noticed this, and shot a jealous glare at Shishiwakumaru.

Shishi quickly walked to the teacher's table, sitting down at the vacant chair. Shocked whispers ran throughout the hall. He's our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher!

Professor Dumbledore stood and motioned for silence. "Students, I would like for you to meet your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. His name is Professor Shishiwakumaru, he's from Japan." With that said, he sat down and began to eat his breakfast again.

"I wonder where Suzuki's going to be staying." Yuusuke murmured as he went back to eating.

"In Shishi's room of course!" Jin told him, a big smile plastered across his face. "I don't think they could last a year apart." he told Yuusuke, his voice lower so the other students wouldn't hear.

Yuusuke stared at him in shock for a moment. "You mean.." he gasped out.

Jin nodded, laughing slightly at Yuusuke's shock. Yuusuke groaned and buried his head in his hands.

"You mean what?" Kurama asked as he tuned into their conversation.

Yuusuke turned to the kitsune. "Did you know that Shishi and Suzuki are..."

"Of course I knew those two were together. So did Hiei, in fact, he figured it out before I did." Kurama answered the unanswered question.

"Am I the only one who is totally clueless about these things!" Yuusuke loudly said.

"You're clueless about what?" Harry asked.

Yuusuke forced a smile, "Nothing really." he answered.

They spent the rest of the day sitting through their classes, hoping that they would end. Kurama, Touya and Hermonie were the only ones who were even listening to the teacher, let's not count how many students were taking notes.

Finally, Charms ended. Jin hurriedly walked to the Defense Against the Dark Arts room, followed by Kurama, Hiei, Touya and Yuusuke.

They quickly arrived, throwing the door open. Shishi was sitting at his desk, flipping through a large textbook.

He looked up as they came in. "Hello. It's good to see you guys again." He said to them.

"What are you doing here, Shishi?" Yuusuke asked him, instead of reply.

"Koenma asked me and Suzuki to come here." Shishi answered. "He said you'd need all of the help you could get."

Yuusuke was about to reply when Harry, Ron and Hermonie came through the door.

"Hello." The three humans said to their new professor.

Shishi gave Yuusuke and the others a look that plainly said that they would talk later and answered the three newcomers. "Hello. It's good to see some students wanting to come early to class. Now if you would please take some seats."

During the next few minutes, students began to pour into the classroom. Slytherins glared at Gryffindors, who glared right back. The only people who didn't show the other house their contempt for the other house was Harry, Ron, Hermonie and Neville.

Neville was to scared to do something like that while Hermonie was ignoring them, being one of the few mature kids in the class. Ron was glancing at Hermonie, a very nervous expression on his face. Harry, on the other hand, was staring at Draco and failing miserably to be inconspicuous about it.

Draco was with some of his Slytherin friends, cruelly making fun of a smaller Gryffindor. Crabbe and Golye were standing on each side of the smaller boy, shielding him from Shishi's view.

They continued to taunt him, until another Gryffindor managed to save him from the torture.

Suddenly Shishi stood up. "Settle down now." Shishiwakumaru told them as he stood. "As Professor Dumbledore told you, I am Professor Shishiwakumaru. If you would like to call me something easier to pronounce, call me Professor Shishi. Now get out your textbooks. Let's start the lesson."

The lesson continued. Most of it was book work, but Shishi assured the class that they would be doing hands on activities soon.

As the lesson ended, Shishi walked up to Kurama. "Tonight after dinner in this room. We'll talk then." Shishi whispered.

Kurama nodded in understanding and quickly departed.

Yuusuke quickly ate his dinner, Jin and Ron right behind him. They were having an eating contest, much to Hermonie's objection. Kurama and Hiei watched with amusement, while Touya pretended to ignore them.

It was only a few minutes later when Yuusuke sat back, the winner of the match. Jin and Ron looked a little disappointed, but they were way to full to do anything.

"Wow. I didn't know you guys could eat that much!" Harry said.

The three boys had completely cleared the table around them of every scrap of food, and Yuusuke was still nibbling on some unidentifiable meat.

"It's a talent." Yuusuke replied. "Pure talent."

"Well I hope you enjoyed making fools of yourselves." Hermonie scuffed. "Everyone around us was staring."

Jin smiled, unfazed by the slight insult. "Like I care. If its fun, who cares what other people think."

"I would normally agree with Jin, but I think he and Yuusuke took it too far this time." Touya murmured to Kurama, who readily agreed.

"Hn. Do what you wish." was Hiei's only comment.

Kurama was looking for a scrap of some type of food, when he saw Draco Malfoy get up from his table and leave the great hall.

Kurama stood, "I have to go." he told his friends, "I have to go to the library for a second."

The others accepted his excuse and continued to talk. Hiei, though, glanced up at Kurama in question.

Don't worry. I just have to tell someone something. I'll meet you and the others in the Defense Against the Dark Arts room. Kurama thought to his lover.

Hiei accepted this and turned his attention back to the others conversation.

Draco Malfoy was not in a very good mood. His usual enjoyments of taunting Gryffindors and thinking about the days when he would be a Death Eater were not very enjoying anymore.

Instead, whenever he closed his eyes, he would pop up. I am Not gay! Draco thought frantically. And even if I was, I wouldn't be attracted to him.

His conscious seemed to disagree with him. Every time Draco closed his eyes his face would pop up within his vision.

The heir to the Malfoy fortune was starting to get seriously annoyed.

To make things worse, one of he transfer students had appeared in front of him. It was the red headed one, Kurama is his name if I remember right.

"What do you want?" Draco sneered, giving Kurama his best stare.

Kurama was totally unaffected by it. "I just wanted to confirm something."

"What?" Draco asked, clearly suspicious of him. He had not talked to any of the exchange students yet, so he had no idea what would anger any of them.

"Your feelings about a certain someone. I can see the pain and denial in your eyes every time you look at him."

"I feel nothing for anyone." Draco replied, feeling dread creep into him. If he really knows what I think he knows, my reputation could be ruined!

"Your eyes tell me differently. You can't hide that from me."

Draco sneered. "Even if I did feel something for him, you have no proof."

Kurama couldn't help but smile, his eyes flashing gold. Youko was restless tonight, but the full moon hadn't risen yet.

"You just gave yourself away." Kurama told him. "You just said, 'Even if I did feel something for him', so you have to know who I'm talking about."

Draco let out a string of curses that might of rivaled Hiei's. "What do you plan to do with this knowledge?" he hissed at the redhead.

Kurama smirked, "You'll find out soon enough." He then turned and walked away, turning a corner so he was away from Draco's sight.

Draco stood there for a moment in shock. He quickly got over it though, and raced forward to stop Kurama. He turned the next corner, only to be met with an empty hallway.

Cursing under his breath, Draco Malfoy made his way down the Slytherin Common room. He better not tell anyone. Draco thought. Imagine what they'd say, Draco Malfoy has a crush on Harry Potter!

Kurama walked down towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts room, the smirk still on his face.

That was all you there, wasn't it? He thought to Youko.

Of course, Youko replied, I'm usually out and roaming the park at this time. Luckily for you, the moon still hasn't fully risen yet.

Be good for now, Youko. You'll get your chance to roam the forest after we talk to Shishi. Kurama told his other half.

Fine, but only if Hiei comes with us. Youko said. I haven't had any in days!

Kurama couldn't help but chuckle at his other half. Is that all you ever think about? he teased him.

No. Youko replied. It's just on my mind at the moment. Besides, if it was, you'd find yourself in control of this body a lot less.

Kurama gave Youko a mental whap over the head.

Youko was about to retort when they arrived in front of the classroom door.

Kurama opened it, to find that Yuusuke and the others were already there, waiting for him.

Yuusuke smiled at him, "You're late for once Kurama! The Apocalypse is coming!" he said sarcastically.

"I had to do something. Besides I'm technically not late, since when Shishi said to come after dinner, he never mentioned a specific time."

Touya and Shishi laughed slightly at this, while Yuusuke tried not to look embarrassed.

Kurama sat down next to Hiei, and across from Shishi and Suzuki. "Now can you tell us why Koenma sent you two here?" Kurama asked them.

"For back up." Suzuki simply replied. "Just in case you need any help."

Jin blinked in confusion. "Why would we need help? This mission is extremely easy so far."

"I don't know. Koenma worries way to much, so I guess he sent us here as an extra precaution." Shishi told them.

Hiei frowned, "Idiotic baby. we can take care of ourselves."

Kurama raced through the Forbidden Forest. A wicked smirk was on his face, and his eyes were flecked with gold. His hair was streaked with silver, and two fox ears were on top of his head.

He suddenly stopped and turned, going back the way he came. There was a slight explosion of smoke and Youko emerged. He threw himself forward, tackling a dark figure who was running towards him.

Hiei was quite surprised to find himself suddenly on the ground with a very horny Youko on top of him. Suddenly their lips seemed to be devouring each others, hands moving to the others clothes.

There was a rustle in the surrounding trees. The two youkai stopped what they were doing to look up and into the trees.

"Who's there?" Youko asked, his eyes narrowing.

The answer was a deep chuckle, nothing more.

To be continued...

How did you like that? Sorry I left it at a cliffhanger, but I had to. I had my reasons, and here they are:

1. To torture all of you people.

2. Because I'm having second thoughts on who the 'figure in the shadows' should be.

I originally planned him to be Kuronue, but I don't know about it. I seem to have too many characters in this story already. So, I NEED YOUR HELP! Should he be Kuronue? And if not, who should it be? Also, should I have something like the TriWizard Tournament in this fic or should they just try to get through the school year?

PLEASE REVIEW AND GIVE ME YOUR IDEAS! I'm in desperate need of them!
