Rain entered the girls dormitory before her other roommates. She walked to her trunk, which sat on a bed and opened it, staring at the sheathed weapon laying on top. The magical sheath made it appear as a simple dagger till it was pulled out. Once pulled out, the blade was a marvel to behold. One side glowing red, radiating intense heat, the other side, pale blue, radiating intense cold. The weapon had sat for so long, no one able to claim it till she came along. Only a child of both fire and ice could claim this weapon. No one else could touch it. She sighed and picked up the dagger, leaving it sheathedhe ehe examined it for a long silent moment and with one hand, grasped the handle, ready to unsheath it when she heard footsteps on the stairs.

With beyond human speed she slid it under her pillow and then was back in front of her open trunk when the door opened. Hermione and two other girls entered. She didn't really remember their names, but figured it was unimportant. She could learn them later.

She pulled out a picture, a group photo and smiled at it. Hermione came up behind hed lod looked over heouldoulder at the group. Rain stood next to a guy about an inch taller on her left, with black hair with an odd white star burst effect in the front, and a red headed fellow on her right. She had her arm linked with the red head who was smiling down at her. "Who are they?"

Rain frowned at the picture and then started at the top. "This is Yusuke, his girlfriend Kayko. Next to him is Kuwabara, a complete moron. Beside Kuwabara is my sister, Yukina, who also happens to be the baka's girlfriend. This is my brother Hiei and this is my best friend, Kurama." She smiled at the picture, looking at Kurama.

Hermione looked at it a bit more closely, looking at Rain's siblings. "You have both of their hair." Rain nodded and set the picture on the small stand next to her bed. "Yes, we also have the same eyes." Hermione blinked and looked at Rain and Hiei. "Why do you both wear bandana's on your foreheads?" she asked.

Rain's head shot up "Just something we both do, I guess. I have a funny scar on my forehead that I want to keep covered, Hiei just thinks it looks cool I guess."

Hermione laughed "Oh come on, it's not like we don't see a funny scar every day, look at Harry's. Your's can't be that bad." Rain just turned away going "Hn." and set about unpacking.

Hermione sighed and turned to her own bed, to unpack. It seemed that Rain had a great group of friend in Japan. She looked to her new roommate and noticed that Lavender and Parvati kept their distance from the new girl, as if she made them nervous. Rain now sat on her bed, writing. She wrote for a long time, the quill scratching on the paper and then stood and folded it up, writing something on the front in Japanese. She laid it down on the stand and closed the curtains around her bed and sighed at the dark of her environment.

With a sigh, she slipped the headband off, opening her Jagan wearily. It would watch out tonight while she slept, alerting her to any problems. It would also close if someone approached her bed, leaving a thin line slighty above the space between her eyebrows. She dozed off to sleep.

The night passed quietly. Rain woke with the morning light anippeipped her headband back on before rising and grabbing her school robes and uniform. She slipped her 'dagger' into the pile of clothes before slipping off silently towards the bathroom to shower and dress. She was first in and using her super fast speed, she showered and dressed in record time, slipping the dagger on, under her robe. She then stood at the mirror, washing her face, her headband back off. She didn't hear the approaching footsteps over the water and looked up in shock as Hermione walked in, staring at her in the mirror.

Hermione frowned at her new friend. "Hmmmm, Rain, the scar doesn't seem to be that bad. The one right here?" Hermione pointed to the spot on her own forehead where the jagan was closed. Rain frowned and nodded, dunked her head and washed the soap off her face before quickly drying it. She then slipped the headband back on, gathered her nightgown and towel and with a quick nod to Hermione, slipped off, back to their room.

She walked in as Parvati and Lavender were talking "She's a bit quiet. And short. I don't know, does she even know how to write English?" A small laugh from the door had them both turning around in shock. "Yes, I know how to write in English and as for being short, well, blame that on genetics." She gave them both a quick smile, and then dropped her clothes on her bed, grabbed the letter, gave the two opened mouth girls a quick wave and was off. The two girls turned red, looked at each other uneasily and hurried getting dressed.


Rain slipped up to the owlery. She walked to her snow owl, Blaze. She cooed softly to him and Blaze opened his eyes. "Hello lovely. I need you to take this letter to Kurama for me, can you do that?" Blaze gaze a small nod, stuck his leg out and waited while Rain tied it on. "Wait for a reply from him before you return, please." This whole exchange was spoken in Japanese and when she turned around, she was met with the curious stare of Harry. "Oh, good morning, Harry." she switched to English.

Harry smiled and then looked to his own owl, Hedwig as she fluttered down and he tied his own letter to her "Hello Rain. Is that Japanese you spoke to your owl?" At Rain's nod he grinned "Cool." Hedwig took off after Harry muttered "Take that to Remus" and he looked at Rain as she watched Hedwig take off. "Well, ready to go to breakfast?" Rain simply nodded and led the way.


Schedules were given out at breakfast. She noticed she had quite a few classes with Slytherin. She smiled 'Hmmmm, that yummy Draco might be in those classes.' With ease she slipped unnoticed into his mind and looked through him at his schedule, grinning to herself when she saw they had some classes together. Potions and Study of Magical Creatures amongst them. She slipped out of his mind quickly and ate, half listening to her friends chatter.

Finally the bell rang for the first class and they were off. She smiled to herself, this was going to be great.

A few weeks later....

The first few weeks of schood cod come and gone. Things were progressing normally, classes were done, homework assigned. She quickly found out that Potions was not much fun, even if Malfoy was in there. Gods, but that Professor just wanted to make the demon nature within her come out and play in the most wicked of ways. She still wore her sword, and it took all her willpower to not pull it out and make shish-ka-bob's of the man. He was such a jerk.

However, after the second class, she had started messing with his head. Using her demon voice, she spoke into his head during class. The first time had been absolutely hilarious. He had been yelling at Harry for something. She couldn't remember what, but it was making her see red. Finally she had slipped into his mind and had said in the most menancing tone her demon voice could muster "You will be slowly tortured soon, Severus." He had blinked slowly, stood up to his full height and looked around, his face going white.

Rain had sat there, her face expressionless. He had backed up into the desk looked at the sea of faces and had suddenly said "Class dismissed." before running out of the room. She had snickered softly and stood up, gathering her stuff and headed out the door. She constantly would call to him, even when not in the same room, sending him little messages. Mostly just things to mess with his mind "I'm watching you, Severus". God, it sent her into a fit of giggles most of the time. She had almost gotten detention when she had burst out laughing in McGonagals class. Opps.

Typically though, she found the classes extremely interesting. She would write to Kurama nightly about the lessons she had learned and sent him a letter once a week. She also wrote to her brother and sister, as well as to Yusuke and the others in Japan, but mostly to Kurama.

On the third day she had gotten a reply to the letter that she had sent him. It had been simple and straight to the point. "Hiei will freak out, Rain." was all it had said. She had sighed and shoved it in her pocket, ignoring the questioning looks of her friends.


It was now a Friday night, she sat in the Gryffindor common room, listening to Ron and Harry tell her about Hogsmead, where they would be visiting tomorrow for the first time this year. They had all seem pretty surprised that they were being allowed to Hogsmeade this early, usually they couldn't go till around Halloween, but were not questioning the decision too much. Rain was curious about the wizarding town and looking forward to it. She had sent a letter 3 days ago to Kurama, telling him that they would be visiting Hogsmead. She had promised to send him a detailed letter of the town and knew he would like that. He had such an inquisitive mind.
