I only claim onto Rain and the story line.


Rain burst into laughter at her brother's confession and stood away from the wall gavegave him a hug. "Thank you, Hiei. I need to go find him and apologize."

"No you don't, I'm right here." said Kurama's soft voice from behind her. Rain and Hiei both turned to stare at a still pale fox demon, whose green eyes shimmered with tears.

Hiei looked into Kurama's face and then Rain's and disappeared in a flof bof black. Rain looked up at Kurama's pale face and sighed. "I am sorry, Kurama." He nodded "I am as well, I guess I still haven't fully brought Yoko under control yet." Rain nodded "And Arcticfire still is trying to get out." He sighed and pulled her to him, smiling with relief as she snuggled into his embrace.

"We made quite a scene, didn't we?" Rain said softly. He chuckled low "Yes we did. Come on, let's take a walk." He took her hand and they started walking, just enjoying the growing dusk and each other.

Meanwhile, inside Hogwarts

Kenshin looked up from his spot in the Kenshingumi's common room as Hiei appeared. "Are they ok?" Hiei nodded "Yes, they are fine, their demon sides still had a bit of control is all." Kenshin nodded and Yusuke plopped down. "Man, it's going to be boring here at christmas time. We need to do something that will be fun." Sano nodded and then smiled "What if we have a fight?"

Yusuke looked at Sano "What?" Yahiko looked excited "You mean like sparring?" Sano nodded. Hiei grunted and Kenshin turned around and looked at the others. "That could be interesting. We need to do something, and it would be a good reason to keep up on our skills." Yusuke smiled "That could be fun, we could get a prize together and the winner could win it. No wand magic, just pure spirit magic and fighting techniques."

Kenshin smiled at him and Kaoru spoke up "What about the students that stay over for Christmas?" They all frowned "Well, we don't have to let them know this is for a prize, we could keep that amongst ourselves. It wouldn't be anything much, just a good christmas gift or something." Yahiko cheered. "We could do it to show the wizards that stay for christmas our skills. I think it's a great idea."

Hiei sighed and looked out the window, down at the grounds where Kurama and Rain were walking. "Rain won't be happy." Yusuke looked up "Why not?" "Baka, cause she won't be allowed to participate." Yusuke got a blank look on his face and then brightened "Oh right, cause of the kit. Well, how about she referree?"

Hiei nodded "That could work." Kenshin smiled at the growing excitement of the gathered friends. "Do you think your friend Kuwabara would want to join in?" Hiei grunted and answered for Yusuke "Yes, the baka ningen will most definately want to join in." Yusuke gave a rueful nod and Aoshi spoke for the first time. "Well, we would need to set some limits then. Spirit powers are stronger then our attacks" he gestured to the rest of the Kenshingumi, who nodded. Yusuke sd "d "That wouldn't be fair with the prize either." They all sighed "Well, we could do it without a prize to win, just something to keep our spirits and our strengths up." They all turned to look at Misao and Aoshi smiled at her.

The door opened and Kurama and Rain stepped through. "Hey g wha what's up?" he asked. The plan was quickly explained to the couple, who were delighted with it. Rain agreed to be the referree and said she would come up with the rules for the fight. They all nodded, knowing that she would be fair, and it was the best choice, as she knew the fighting styles of both groups. Nothing was said about the fight in the great room and all were relieved to see that Kurama and Rain once again seemed to have control.

Kurama got a thought though. "Wait, we should get permission to do this from Professor Dumbledore." They all nodded and Kenshin looked at Rain. "How about tomorrow, Miss Rain and I go and talk to Professor Dumbledore about the proposed tournament? We do want the remaining students staying over Christmas break to come and watch, right?" They all nodded. Pretty soon it was bedtime and Rain went to the Gryffindor tower to sleep, Kurama and Hiei staying with the Kenshingumi, while Yusuke went to his own room in the Gryffindor tower.

Hermione was up reading when Rain entered. She looked up at her friend with concern. "Are you ok?" Rain blinked, having not realized Hermione was awake and nodded. "Yes, Arcticfire was still a little in control. But I have her tamped back down tight. Same goes with Kurama. Yoko is the jealous type." Hermione nodded, remembering the Halloween party. "I never knew you were friends with Malfoy." Rain nodded "Well, we talk telepathically. I never meant to hide it from you guys, just never realized it was something that I should have told you about. He is a nice guy." Hermione smiled "I know."

Rain paused in the middle of changing for bed and looked at the wistful face of Hermione. ' 'Mione, do you have a crush on a certain Slytherin boy?' She didn't say it outloud because she knew that Lavender was still awake. Hermione looked shocked and then up at Rain before thinking back. 'Yeah, I have always thought he was cute and now that he has stopped being such a prat, well, I find myself falling for him.'

Rain burst into laughter and crawled into bed 'I could talk to him for you.' Hermione looked tempted and then shook her head 'No, it's ok. I am sure something will work itself out, whether we get together or not.'

Rain nodded and sighed "Ok then, good night Hermione. Good night Lavender." 'Mione and Rain burst into laughter and closed their curtains on the their beds as Lavender gave a startled gasp at being found out.

Pretty soon there will be a tournament. I have some stuff planned for the tournament. Hope you all enjoy it when it finally gets written and posted.

Ok, a year ago, i wrote a Star Wars/Harry Potter fanfiction. This is a completed fanfiction and I was wondering if you guys would be interested in reading it. All it will require is a bit of editting on my part, an hour of work at the most and will not take away from me posting updates on my stories. If you guys would like to read the Star Wars/Harry Potter fanfiction, then let me know in your reviews and I will post it all up in one shot, the whole story. Well, glad that you are all enjoying my story so far. Hope you continue to like it. Everqueen)

I am not ready to post them yet, but I have a few chapters down for a few new story lines and want to see if someone, or a few people would likebetabeta them and give me your opinion on them. If you would like to, send me an e-mail at shani_rah@hotmail.com. make the subject like "everqueen beta reader" or something like that so I don't deleate it on accident.)

(To all my reviewers. Thank you so much. I still haven't gotten around to individually thanking and commenting on each one yet, and once again today I just don't have time. Got 15 minutes till my son's therapists come over for his behavioral and ABA therapies. My children (and someone asked their names, Kathryn and Brandon) are both autistic. She gets her therapies from school, but he has therapists that come to the house and his Behavioral and ABA therapists come together, he also gets occupational and speech therapy as well. Well, time to get this posted. Please keep up with the reviews. It helps a great deal to know that my stories are being enjoyed by the masses. Till I write again, have a good week, my lovlies.)
