Wizard Hanyou

Here’s the next chapter, I’m actually not that impressed with the way this one came out but really its all in what you all think, so tell me please after you have read this chapter if I did any good thank you.

Thanks To:

Chrys – Glad you are enjoying the story I try my best, hope you enjoy this chapter as you did all the others. Glad I can keep up with all the wants for more updates for you all. Arigatou, Ja

hell's children – Heh you will find out as it goes along, though I can say this Kurama has not even met the Reikai Tantei yet.

Lemo – Glad you are happy so go enjoy another chapter

momoko – Glad you enjoyed both of the chapters and hopefully this one as well as well

Vampirezdarkgurl – Thank you so much I hope you enjoyed you holiday as much as I enjoyed mine.

Jaylynn – Hello again and thank you for the long review, I think your becoming my fav reviewer. I’m glad I did not gross you out too much but I was trying to bring up the aspects of Youko in Kurama. For when I looked into it there are a lot of comments on Youko being a killer more efficient than Hiei and that in the olden days that the Youko would kill without mercy.

That is where I was coming from because with being the boss of a band of thieves you would have to be an efficient killer and excellent at torture to not be overthrown by his own men if you think about it he coldly sent Yomi to his death without a thought after the other Youkai disobeyed him too many times.

I am also glad their meeting went well as it did but it still has to develop yet I mean they will have to find some way of keeping in contact (not that it going to be a problem in the future).

What plant did the Unicorn give? Can’t tell it will be a secret until it is used for its purpose. No Harry will not meet Yusuke in this chapter but he is briefly mentioned near the end and will be included in this story, all of the Reikai Tantei will as well so don’t worry about that, the chapter will come.

I myself are just going along with the flow. Glad you enjoyed my story and hope to see another long review in the future. Arigatou

firehedgehog – don’t worry this story has a mind of its own

Chudokan – Thank you for pointing out where I made a mistake makes it easier to put the right word in place. I had not even noticed lol, cheers! It was very informative and helpful.

Lol well the meeting of the Spirit Detectives will be inlayed to the story as Harry joined up with Kurama shortly before the actual accident that made him Spirit Detective.

It was to fit him in with the setting, so in reality Harry will meet up with Yusuke at Genkai’s, lol look at me giving away the plot, well hope you enjoy that little tibit to keep you going after this chapter.

Imber – Glad you enjoyed it, the action will sooner or later take place when my head gets round to it. I have no idea when that is but probably somewhere around Genkai’s tournament I think. Glad you think the same thing about Harry, for some reason I can’t see Harry as a normal Wizard or Ningen really. Thank You and I hope your Christmas went well.

I also want to say thank you to:
All the people who put my story in their favourites & story alert makes me feel really happy so many have enjoyed my story, though I enjoy reviews more people’s opinion’s count.

Chapter 5


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


Twirling the quill around that he had in his fingers, the brown feather bobbing up and down merrily he tapped it on the Ink stained wooden desk as he read through the letter he had put together.


Finally satisfied with the current letter he had produced, he dipped the quill into the black ink pot he had out at that moment and signed his name with a flourish. A smile flashed onto his face but concern was the most prominent after his most recent report from the sanctuary of Remus’s condition.


Folding up the letter he flicked his hand and an envelope slid into sight on the desk. Placing the letter inside it he closed the flap over and poured candle wax onto the join sealing the letter inside.


Getting his seal for the Potter house he stamped it down firmly making sure that the symbol was engraved on the wax as it dried.


Flipping it over he slid his wand out of its holster on his arm and mumbled the spell words for writing the address of the receiving party in red letters, showing it was most important.


Whistling he called Hedwig over to him, as she alighted on his arm he held up the envelope a stern look on his face.


“Hedwig, it is of most important you get to the sanctuary as soon as possible. I need them to read this letter before I arrive.” She hooted to show she understood what he was saying and snapped up the letter in her beak.


Stroking her feathers he opened the window and flinging out his arm sent her out into the rising sun. Yawning he turned back and groaned at seeing all the homework that had been piled onto him nearly every day


Snorting to himself he sat back down in his chair cracking his neck feeling ruffled, his ears lay back as he flumped on top of the table resting his head on his arms while his tail curled up around his legs.


Not being able to go out as much due to all the work he had piled on to him he was getting more and more exhausted.


As he used plants to replenish a good portion of his energy but with staying indoors away from most but the suffering indoor plants made him slowly drain himself to the point his health was suffering.


Whining out loud and sounding like a mutt he lifted his head his ears drooping as he pulled the first lot towards himself. He opened a new bottle of ink and readied his quill to do the dreaded work when…


…the phone rang. Dumbfounded for a few minutes he stared at the telephone that was across the other side of the living room of the apartment.


Watching it ring again, he sprang out of his seat dropping the quill, racing across the room to get to the phone and picked it up not wanting the other person to put down their receiver with receiving no reply in the normal amount of time.


“Hello? Potter speaking.” He sat down next to the wall his tail swishing back and forth across the ground


“Harry, it is Minamino Shuichi, we spoke to each other a couple of days ago.” Ranking his mind back he finally came across the memory of that time in the alley when the other had helped him.


“Kurama, I am so sorry for not contacting you myself. I’ve been doing a lot of work from the school to catch up for my missing lessons of about 3 years.” His ears lay against this head; they still had not talked about what had happened that day


“It is alright really Harry. I have actually called up to ask a request of you?” Tilting his head his curiosity came to the forefront of his mind.


“You’ve got my attention Kurama, especially calling me a few minutes after the sun had just risen.” Manipulating the rose seed in his hair he made it grow and hold the phone to his ear


“Hmm I did not wake you up did I? If this is so I apologize, it was not my intention at all.” Giving a slight smirk at Kurama’s apologetic tone he let go of the phone and the roots held it in place perfectly


“No no its fine. I’ve been up for over 4 hours now, around 1 this morning.” Crossing the room he slid back into place, looking warily over the work he had to complete, sighing silently he picked up the quill


“Sleeping troubles?” dipping the quill into the ink he slid the first text book over to him and began to read over the questions he had to do


“No just my normal habits. Now what’s this favor you want to ask of me?” Reaching for the quill he was about to write the answer to the first question when he stopped at Kurama’s answer the ink hovering dangerously over the paper from the tip of the quill


“I was wandering if you would come to visit my mother with me at the hospital?” Placing the quill down on the desk ink staining it even more he reached up and grabbed the phone, his whole concentration now on the conversation at hand


“Are… Are you sure I mean… you don’t even know me too well.” He was shocked at the amount of trust that the other was investing in him


“Do not worry. I know enough and trust you.” Narrowing his eyes a little bit of suspicion circled in his gut, what did the other know, it was something that he was nervous about and wanted to ask, but he kept to himself because for some reason trusted the other from the other day when he saved his life.


“Yeh I’ll come with you to see your mother, but first I have to get these piles of work done…” Looking at the pile he groaned in his mind as he shifted the book in front of him away from the growing ink stain


“If you want, I could come down to give you a hand with reading through your work when you have completed each piece to make the time pass by much quicker than on your own.”


“Well if you’re sure Kurama?” He was surprised that Kurama was readily giving his help and also making his own plan in his mind to finally get that talk they needed to out the way


“I would not say so if I were not. I will be at your apartment door in about half an hour’s time.” Sitting upright Harry narrowed his eyes as he moved to his window before shaking his head, whatever Youkai had been on his balcony had gone for the moment.


“Alright Kurama see you soon.” Opening the glass doors he let the wind of the morning rush in refreshing the room.


“Hai, Ja.”


“Ja Ne.” Turning off the cordless he looked at it hanging in his hand eyes dark.


How long had it been now? Over a year since he had been chased by wizards who wanted his blood, to see his dead body on the floor for being something he had no choice from birth.


Twisting his lips into a grimace he went to put he phone down and then turning around went to put away his Wizarding items. It would not do for Kurama to find them he mused as he held his cloak for many questions he would have to answer.


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


Couple of Hours later on the way to the Hospital…


“Kurama? I have a question that has been tugging on my curiosity.” Tilting his head slightly he looked at the others face which had a slight frown on their lips


“Hai? What is this question you have for me?” He totally turned his head to regard the other


“Well how did you know I was in trouble back at the alleyway a couple of days ago?” Narrowing his eyes slightly he let a slight smile tilt his lips at the corners giving him a mysterious look


“That day I had gotten out of the Hospital quite late and crossing past the alleyway I caught the distress in your Youkai and went to investigate.” He glanced over to gauge the others reaction to the answer he had given


“Basically it was mostly by luck you were there at the same time I was attacked?” Harry’s voice was questioning but at the same time not really surprised about the answer he had gotten


“Makes sense I suppose.” A chuckle tumbled from his lips as he allowed himself to genially enjoy the others presence. Turning to the street towards the hospital He took his hands out of his pockets as they got close to the building.


“I can’t stay long Kurama. I have an appointment to get to for tonight and will not be around for about a week, its going to be hell.” Hearing the slight chuckle from the other he pointed a hand in the redhead’s direction not caring his image of being untouchable was being wreaked.


“Don’t you laugh at me Kurama, imagine having to be among people who hated you just to sort out a problem that will take ages due to the people being stubborn asses who just want to make a bigger salary.” Kurama gave a vague humming sound as he pushed open the door of the hospital and lead Harry towards the stairs.


Going through the door of the stairwell he watched Kurama turn to him his expression serious


“Now remember Harry. Refer to me as Shuichi in front of my mother please, for she does not know of my Demon side or anything other than I am her son. I am sure you understand.” Looking away from Kurama’s gaze his eyes went slightly hazy as he brought up the only thing he could remember of his mother.


Her scent was embedded in his mind as that was the first thing a Youkai embedded into his mind what the scent of his/her parents were and it never left them throughout the years.


Looking back a Kurama who looked concerned he sighed as he rubbed at the base of his neck


“My mother is dead, as is my father but yes I do understand about your situation.” He saw sorrow creasing the others forehead and held up his hand forestalling the apology that was coming


“Don’t apologise lets just go see your mother.” Kurama nodded as he began to lead Harry up the stairs.


After a slightly long walk they soon got to room 501 and opening the door went inside. The room was lit up with natural light and the only bed in the room was covered by a screen.


Following after Kurama they soon came upon a brown-haired woman who slowly pushed herself up a beautiful smile overtaking her features as she regarded Kurama and then Harry.


“Shuichi so nice of you to visit me and you have brought someone with you.” Immediately Kurama jumped to his mother’s side not wanting her to over tax herself and make herself any more ill by accident


“Hai mother. This is Harry he is a friend of mine who came along with me today.” She turned her head towards Harry and he was immediately struck at this is what it would feel like if he had a mother of his own worrying over him, it was a comforting feeling to say the least.


“I am very pleased to meet you Harry I am Shiori, Shuichi’s mother.” Harry gave a true smile not being able to help himself; she was so warm toward him it made him want to melt.


“As am I Mrs Minamino, as am I.” feeling overwhelmed he bowed at the waist, told Kurama he would wait outside the room and collapsed on one of the plastic chairs outside the room.


Drawing his legs up to his chest he curled his arms around them while laying his head on his knees, is that what it felt like to have a mothers love directed at you? It was so strange but inside he was pining away for love like that from his own mother but she was dead as was his father.


Closing his eyes he buried his face in his knees as a few tears of morning slipped from his eyes and landed on his trousers.


About half an hour later he felt a hand touch his shoulder, lifting his dry face he looked up at Kurama’s concerned face. Giving a small smile he stood up with the help of the other and dusted himself down


“I have to get going Kurama or I will be late.” He saw the others face flash with what looked like sadness before it was gone like it had never been


“Hai of course, I will walk you back you your apartment before taking my leave.” Nodding both of them began moving towards the stairs out of the hospital


“Arigatou Kurama”


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


Back at the apartment…


Leaving Kurama at the door with a polite goodbye he rushed into the apartment panic running through his systems and felt relief at seeing that Hedwig had arrived.


“They expecting me girl?” She hooted an affirmative and cursing he rushed into his bedroom glad he had sorted out the documents he needed and the Wizard Battle Gear he had to wear.


Getting changed he use magic on the clothing making it easy to slip on and undoing his hair used magic to wrap his waist length hair into a braid even though it was hell on his ears that had been squashed underneath his tightly bound hair.


Slipping his holster onto his right arm hand secured it properly and made sure it worked and not get caught on his Battle Gear.


After securing several more items on his person, including a sword on his hip he picked up the documents and after grabbing a cloak ran out the door not checking no one was around to see him in such an unusual outfit


It was just his luck though he did not know it that Kurama had stayed around a lot longer worried and a tiny bit curious about Harry and why he was in such a hurry when said person rushed past him without noticing he was their.


Hurrying he soon got to the designated area and leaning on his knees with his hands he panted as he looked around.


Seeing the Portkey in the place specified he reached out and grabbed the old scrap of cloth and when the word ‘wolf’ left his mouth was taken to the sanctuary that he was going to meet the person he had received the distressing letter from.


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


Back at the apartment a week later…


Holding an arm around his stomach he straitened up hissing through his breath the many deep gashes in his body protesting to movement so soon. Gritting his teeth he unlocked the door and stumbled inside wanting to scream from the agony of betrayal that was slowly growing as time went by.


Dropping his cloak on the floor along with all of his weaponry as well as most of the dragon hide armour, the pain of the slashes on his skin lessened to some degree after the heaviness on his body had been taken off.


Going to the desk he finally sighed in relief as he let the documents drop onto the desk while he brushed his frazzled hair back and patted it down pain in every movement as his real ears lay against his head under the illusion.


Stretching he yawned, ignoring the bleeding of the various wounds on his body for it was not noticeable as his darkened clothing soaked it all up saving his from explanations and jogging towards the front door grabbing his leather coat as he darted out locking the apartment behind himself.


Looking up at the sky as he pulled on and buttoned his leather coat up to the top, he let the cloudless night give him peace for once as he wandered down past the shops looking around his throat parched, spying a place to get some tea from he moved over and went inside.


Coming out 5 minutes later he sipped at the warm liquid sighing in relief as it warmed him up totally. Walking along not really acknowledging where his feet were taking him when a pulse sounded in his ears and his whole body went numb for a second taking the pain with it.


The sound of liquid hitting the pavement drew his attention and he slowly looked down at his shaking fingers.


Lifting them up to his face he slowly closed his fingers and opened them flexing the muscle that did not want to move none of his previous pains remaining though he could still feel the wounds as plain as day.


Sighing out he closed his eyes and lifted his head, all at once a stream of energy was felt and he snapped open his eyes while looking in that direction.


Chocking back a gasp at the long pillar of light stretching to the sky’s he immediately began to run in that direction, recognising it from a few days ago when he had gone to see Kurama’s mother Shiori Minamino.


Getting to the building he raced inside glancing up only once to see the light disperse an urgency overtaking him. Running up the stairs he soon came to the floor he needed and he went out into the hall.


Slowing down into a quick walk until he got to the corridor he needed, slowing down he soon got to room 501 and opening the door stopped in the doorway at seeing Kurama standing next to his mother’s bedside.


“Shuichi…?” Harry saw the other lift his head and turn to look at him while still holding his mothers hand. Looking at Kurama he could see the other looked exhausted not only mentally but physically as well.


“What…?” Kurama sighed as his eyelids drooped a little making Harry alarmed, but ignoring his own tiredness he turned back to his mother, Harry stood indecisive for a second a slight confused look on his face


Then ganging a decision moved across the room and place a hand on Kurama’s shoulder giving his silent support to the tense Kitsune as they both settled to watch over Shiori for the rest of the night.


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


“Kurama?” Harry looked at the other who was shaking very slightly not really noticeable unless you were attuned to the movements like a Youkai


Kurama looked up at Harry’s concerned face tiredness, sadness, fear and a multitude of other emotions all making a stand under his nearly shattered controlled mask. Even his breathing was shaky as he looked back down at his shaking hands.


Watching Kurama carefully he saw him visibly collect himself, gaining his famous control that he was known for.


“It was only a week… What happened?” He heard Kurama sigh while sitting back; looking up at the stars of the clear night he was surprised to feel the other lean against him and in himself it gave his Kitsune side a great comfort


Because it let you know that another of his kind was around, it was hard being on his own as Kitsunes were naturally sociable and cuddly creatures who enjoyed casual touches to reassure themselves that each member of their pack was around.


And it seemed with Kurama being another Kitsune; his own inner Kitsune of his Youkai side had picked the first of its pack or more commonly known as family, he was not sure of what role the other had yet though


“A couple of days after you left my mother got worse. I was beginning to despair that I would be able to help her…” I could feel my self relaxing due to the presence of Kurama and strangely enough I was not actually bothered about it to be quite honest


“My god if I had known that it was deteriorating that fast I would not have left a week ago.” Guilt passed through him at leaving his new friend and pack member behind, growling very softly in his chest, he felt the other shake his head at his guilt.


As he tried to apologise for his lack of tact a hand latched onto one of his real ears not his illusion created human ears and began to rub very softly


Almost immediately all feelings of guilt and anything else seemed to calm down as the comforting feeling he had been craving for months now finally eased all feelings somewhat to a manageable level


“Now that you have calmed down I will carry on.” He could feel the others slight amusement but ignored it for the most part as he was more interested in the words Kurama was speaking and the ear rub he was so enjoying.


“I made an alliance with two Youkai who wanted to steal artefacts of darkness from the Kings Vault in the Reikai.” He furrowed his eyebrows as it caught his attention fully


“What was it you were after?” He could feel inside he was not going to like the answer he was going to get


“The Forlorn Hope was my goal.” Eyes wide Harry scrambled up horror coursing through his being as he turned to face Kurama who had his head turned away as he averted his eyes as he sat up


“The Forlorn Hope…? You… What were you thinking Kurama? The only thing it brings is misery to the world by killing the one who makes the wish!” Harry’s hands were tugging on his braid, more frazzled than he ever remembered being


“I already knew that the Forlorn Hope took life in exchange for the wish that was to be made and I was ready to give everything for my mother.” His voice was saddened at this and sighing Harry squatted down in front of him hands dangling form his knees


“You could not have waited?” Kurama shook his head


“No but when I tried to use it a boy called Yusuke interfered and saved both myself and my mother.” Kurama sighed as he frowned very slightly pondering over the Ningen who had interfered with his decision, though something about him had drawn his attention in the first place.


Watching Kurama for a long second he then reached forward and clasped a hand on his shoulder in understanding drawing the others attention


With a sweet smile on Harry’s face he stood up holding his hand out for the other to take


He watched as Kurama looked at his hand and then up to his own face and with a decision made grabbed his hand as Harry pulled him to his feet


“At least your mother is better now. Come on, I’ll house you up at my apartment for a few days before the Reikai Guards come for you.” As he turned he saw Kurama give a slight smile, happiness for the first time showing in his sombre gaze.


“after all it will be hard enough having one of my pack in jail, I want to be close to you for at least tonight.” Looking over at Kurama’s face he saw a smile was truly on his face as he caught up to Harry’s quick pace and stopped beside him facing him.


“As are you to me as one of my own.” Looking over he saw acceptance and giving a real smile to the other held out his hand for the other to take


“I have a lot to reveal to you then Kurama if we are truly part of a pack, no matter how small it is.” Sliding his hand in Harry’s he nodded his head


“As do I Harry, as do I.” Turning they began to run, the first piece of the puzzle finally in place and as he looked back into the darkness of the park and saw a darkened figure watching him.


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


The figure watched the two of them run out of the park as they themselves began to move towards a clearing in the opposite direction smiling slightly.


Finally the first piece had slid into place after so much time and now he only had to wait patiently for every piece to fall firmly into where they belonged before the real final battle would begin and the Halfling would die bringing the fall of all three worlds along with him.
