Unexpected Chances
Decisions
Sirius looked at the teenaged looking ruler in front of him. He could have the chance to not only aid the Wizard community but some of the Ningenkai; take the dead to Reikai, a job that few were offered, or both.
He looked at the ruler of Reikai, "Can I have some time to think about it," he then had a slight thought about what -sama meant, it must have been an honorific that was placed. He had heard about them somewhere, probably from Remus' talking when they were in school. It must have meant lord. "Koenma-sama?" the end was mostly a question.
"Yes, you may. I'll have someone escort you to a room." Koenma said, he evidently did not have a problem with it as soon that being he had seen was in the room now. "Escort Mr. Black to a private chamber room." Koenma ordered. The thing nodded. (A/N: I don't know Jorge's name in Japanese so he will be called Jorge.)
"Follow me Mr. Black." His accent was extraordinarily thick; Sirius had some trouble understanding it but followed. "My name is Jorge." So it had a name…
"Black, Sirius Black." He introduced; no need to be rude.
After being escorted down the place, he thanks the being, now known to be an oni. He smiled a bit; he here now had a chance so few had. He looked at the mirror and frowned a bit. His hair was disheveled, it was knotted in some places and he was covered in dust and other material from the time he spent outdoors. He had met the prince and ruler of Reiki like this!
He was now surprised that he hadn't yelled at someone to get him out to properly outfitted him. Though he supposed he must have had different situations so maybe he had seen worse. Sighing he pulled at the tangles in his hair. There was a light knock coming from the door that was the entrance to the room.
"Come in."
A small redhead, a shade that could have rivaled the Weasleys, entered. She was carrying a couple of clothes, though they looked traditional Japanese. "We thought you might want a pair of clean clothes." She offered them to him. He bent down a bit and picked them up. "My name is Hinageshi." She bowed; he had no idea how to bow properly so he just smiled.
"My name is Sirius Black. Are you a ferry guide?" he asked.
She nodded. "There is a bathroom back here." She pulled back a section of the only paper like looking wall. He thought it had been merely décor. He followed her in to a small hallway. It was normal looking, well muggle looking for him. There were two doors. "This is the bath room." She pointed to the far end, the she pointed to a small side door. "And this is a closet, though since your clothes are dirty you won't be using them. Some one will come get your clothes if you leave them on the bed." She said.
"Thank you." She smiled and left. Looking at the clothing in his hands, Sirius opened the door to the bathroom. It was modest, the walls were a light red, there was a counter with a sink to wash hands and underneath was a door. He opened it and found supplies under it, a couple of normal band-aids, some alcohol, couple of bars soap, bottles of shampoo, and toilet paper. He looked at the small shower, but the there was a bigger bath next to it.
He undressed, wrapped a towel around his waist, and folded his clothes as best as he could then lay them on the bed. He looked at the extra clothes; maybe he should have asked how to put them on…
He decided to clean off first so he took a shower be sure to get as clean as possible. After he dried off and looked at the clothes, after much trying he managed to get them on properly.
He looked at himself after he had gotten in the main room. He hoped he got it right, he had worn the things that looked like really big pants (at first he thought it was a skirt) over the kimono thing (to him). (A hakama is the pants thing, it's wide and sometimes doesn't have legs but it's worn over the kimono. I think…) The top part was a dark blue while the bottom was black.
He sighed and looked around properly over the room, there the door leading out in the bottom right corner, a bed in the same wall but it was in the corner. A large mirror was held next to the sliding wall and there was a television on a shelf out of the wall. There were at least two chairs in the room. He sighed and returned to the bathroom, he started combing the tangles in his hair. A few minutes later it was decent enough, he found himself wanting to tie it back so grabbing his wand he transfigured a piece of toilet paper into strip of cloth. He loosely tied his hair back with this. Shrugging he went and sat down on a chair.
So he came here to think it over and there wasn't anything else he could do so started thinking which would be best….
Harry Potter closed his eyes and again tried to go to sleep. He found himself with the image of Sirius falling through the veil. He choked down a sob; he sat up and hugged his knees close to his chest. His mind was reeling through the times he had with Sirius, he tried to stop them but they seemed to keep going on their own accord. He let out a silent sob.
Does everyone I have close to a parent leave me? He thought, his parents died when he was still a baby, Sirius had filled that void for a while, now he too was gone. Is Remus next? He shook his head, he wouldn't let anything happen to Remus. He won't leave me. Sirius whey did YOU leave me? Couldn't you have stayed away? It was my fault, now you're dead because of it! Please come back…I miss you Padfoot. With those thoughts he drifted into a dreamless rest.
Sirius sat down he was lost in thought when he was startled by hearing a faint. Please come back…I miss you Padfoot. Harry, that was Harry, he knew his voice anywhere. That is when his mind made his decision, he would go back to his godson but he wouldn't go without something that could help him. His godson would not come to Reikai before his time.
With those thoughts he walked into the hallway and asked where he could find Koenma.
Sirius walked down after getting directions, he had someone tell Koenma that he had made his decision. He walked in after being told Koenma would see him.
Koenma sat at his desk stamping papers. "Ah, Black-san, have a seat." A chair was in front of the desk. He sat down. "Give me a moment." He read through a couple of papers and stamped them with something. "Alright, I'm surprised you've made your decision so fast. Might I ask why?" He was in his toddler form but for some reason he didn't seem to think this odd.
"I… I heard Harry, he said, `Please come back' and `I miss you Padfoot.' Padfoot is a nickname of mine." Koenma nodded and looked at him; he motioned for him to continue. "I have to ask though; if I learned to train my Reiki and be a guide would I still be able to go back to Earth?"
"Of course, you'd be required to hunt low level demons every once in a while depending on the level of your Reiki and escort some sprits but we wouldn't deny you the right to live a semi-normal life."
"Then I'd like to know how long those would take?" He would not want to be away from Harry a long time.
"It depends on your progress. I'm confident you'd be able to progress fairly well. Being a ferry guide would be easier than training your Reiki but it all depends on how much time you devote to your training." Then he'd train hard.
"Then I'd like to know when can training start?" Koenma smiled.
*Sorry I've been working on my HPBtVS crossover and I didn't know how to put this. Hope you enjoyed it."
