I only claim onto Rain and the story line.

We left off with our group of buddies planning a 'tournament' to break up the monotony of Christmas Break. Hermione had just confessed that she has a thing for Draco and Lavender was trying to listen to their conversation. And off we go.....

The next morning, after breakfast, Rain bid Kurama, Hiei and Yusuke good bye, watching them walk away with sad feelings. She sighed and walked towards the common room, seeing as it was Sunday. She heard footsteps on the stairs ahead of her and looked up to see Kenshin coming down them. She smiled at the samurai. "Hey Samurai Boy." He rolled his eyes and stopped next to her. " I was thinking we could go talk to Professor Dumbledore about the Tournament, that we could."

Rain gave a smile and nodded "Fine, no problem." They turned and went to Dumbledore's office. They guessed his password after a few tries and made their way to his door and knocked. They heard him say "enter" and walked in. He looked up expectantly and smiled. Rain and Kenshin told him of their idea of a tournament. Dumbledore thought it was a fine idea and they left with his approval.

Rain went to her room afterwards and settled onto her bed, while Kenshin went to his room and informed the rest of the Kenshingumi that they would be having the tournament.

Rain sighed and wrote a letter to Kurama, letting him know that ideaidea had been approved. The note was short and too the point and after she reread it, she realized it was kind of passionless, but she mearly shrugged and folded it, before going to the owlery and giving it to Blaze, who took off in a blast of wings and left. She returno tho the Gryffindor tower after peaking in at the Kenshingumi common room and seeing them crashed around it, in various positions of sleep. She shook her head and left them.

She smiled as she saw Harry, Ron and Hermione doing homework around the fire and walked to them, ignoring the curious stares of the others in the room. They looked up and smiled. Rain sat down across from them and Hermione passed her a set of notes. Rain sighed and set them down before going to get her own books. She returned and did her make up homework, using Hermione's notes to cover it. The rest of the afternoon was spent in silent companionship. Finally, homework was done and they all stood and stretched.

Thookeooked up as the Gryffindor door opened and Yahiko poked his head through. "HEY, is it supper time." Rain groaned at him and Ron shook his head "Not yet." Yahiko sighed and came into the room. Rain noticed other gryffindor's just stood back away from him and realized he hadn't been totally accepted by the others. She shook her head and he sat down next to her. "So, it was approved?"

Rain nodded, noticing the confused looks on the others faces. "Yes, Dumbledore thought it was a good idea, and since it will only be the Kenshingumi and Team Urameshi in the tournament and not regular students, he had no problem. Of course, students need to be careful watching my group fight, as we can be destructive to the audience." Yahiko nodded "I know, Yusuke told me about the Dark Tournament." Rain shook her head "Koenma showed me some footage of that, geez, I am glad I didn't go to that."

Harry spoke up "What's going on?" Yahiko looked excited "We are having a tournament during Christmas Break. My group will fight and match skills as will Rain's. It should be alot of fun." Rain smiled as Yahiko got a wicked look on his face. "I am going to fight Kaoru." Rain's eyebrows rose "Oh really? Says who?"

Yahiko frowned, remembering she was the referee "Well, if you say it is ok." Rain grinned at him. "We'll see." Ron looked at Rain "Who will you be fighting?" Rain was quiet as she said "I won't be fighting."

They all blinked and Ron's eyes moved to Rain's abdomen. She saw where his eyes were and sighed, resting her hand over her stomach. "Exactly. Anyways. There will be enough contestants fighting that I won't need to." She smiled "And with Kuwabara, Keiko and Yukina coming, as well as Hiei, Kurama and Yusuke, it should be one rowdy Christmas."

Harry grinned "With Yusuke around, yeah, rowdy is right." Rain grinned as she stood up "Well, Kuwabara is worse, trust me." Harry and Ron groaned "Oh great."

Supper was a happy affair, with the small group talking about the tournament. Most of the gryffindor table heard and the whole table was soon talking about it. Rain was having a conversation with Draco about it and was happy to hear him say he was staying for Christmas. She looked over at Hermione and sent her a telepathic message 'Hey, Draco is staying for Christmas.' Hermione looked up at Rain with interest, 'Really?'

Rain nodded and then grinned at Hermione's blush. Ron and Harry noticed the blush and looked to her. "What are you blushing about, Hermione?" Hermione shook her head and then gave Rain a quick glance as she burst into laughter. Harry turned to the demoness "Ooo, Do you know Rain?" At Rain's nod they both turned to her. She tried to sober up and shook her finger at them "But I wont' tell you, I'm sworn to secrecy. And a demon's word is her bond." A sharp gasp was heard and she looked at Neville "I thought you were an apparition?"

She sighed "Neville, a demon of good alignment is called an apparition." His face paled and she gave him a smile "I consider you a friend Neville, don't worry." He breathed a sigh of relief and she tossed a roll at him, causing everyone to laugh.

The rest of the semester continued much along the same manner. Harry and Ron figured out enough to know that Hermione had a crush on someone, but neither she nor Rain were talking. After having a conversation with Pavarti and Lavender, they realized that obviously only Rain and Hermione knew who the person was. Classes were finally finished and other students had left for home. All friends were in the great hall, finishing lunch, students having left that morning after breakfast.

They looked up as Dumbledore approached their table. "I do believe that our guests will be arriving before supper. Rain smiled to him and thanked him. Yahiko cheered, Yusuke was coming back, obviously they had become good friends.

They were on the Quidditch field, riding brooms when Harry looked down and yelled. "They are coming." All fliers landed and moved towards the group of newcomers. Leading them was Koenma, in teenage form, pacifier still in his mouth. Next to him was a girl with blue hair riding an oar and wearing a kimono.

Ron leaned over to Rain. "Is that an Oar?" Rain nodded "Yes, that is Boton. She's a ferry girl." "Ferry Girl?" Rain nodded "Yes, the Grim Reaper in this culture." Massive group gulp.

Behind Koenma and Boton was Kurama and Hiei. Next came Yukina and a tall man with orange hair, then came Yusuke and a smaller black haired girl. Rain whispered the names of the others. "The new guy is Kuwabara and the other girl is Keiko, Yusuke's girlfriend." They all nodded and then Kurama looked up and let out a yell and ran forward towards them.

Rain ran to him and he caught her in his arms, his mouth touching down on hers. Their friends, on both sides gave good natured groans and said as one "EWWWW" Yusuke yelled "Get a room." Keiko smacked the back of his head and Kaoru smiled at the act, thinking it looked familiar. Kurama smiled down at Rain and said loud enough for the others to hear "I think we will." She blushed bright red, almost the color of her demon form as her friends burst into laughter and both groups arrived to the couple, introductions starting.


(A/N and there you go. Longer then Ravens. Hope you liked it. Thanks for reading, I know it took awhile to get this chapter up. Glad you all stuck around and are still interested in this. Yes, this story will go all the way through the year. Second semester will be more interesting then first, trust me. And if Rain doesn't have her baby before this is over then I will do a prologue so you can know how that will turn out. Enjoy.

And now for the reviews....

Amy - Lord of the Rings, that would be interesting. i was thinking of starting a Yu Yu Hakusho, Lord of the Rings, Everquest story, but not sure what to do it about. But I don't know enough about Lord of the Rings toit yit yet, haven't read too much of their stories, just seen the movies and about halfway through the Fellowship of the Rings book.
