All Yu Yu Hakusho Characters belong to the makers and producers of such show, I have no ownership of them. All Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowlings, again I have no ownership. Rurouni Kenshin Chracter belong to the makers and producers of the show and I have no claim on them. I only claim onto Rain and the story line.


(A/N It was brought to my attention on Fanfiction that Hiei is a twin (Yukina) not a triplet. Yes, I know this. However, I am using artistic license and making them triplets here for my own purposes. Trust me, this has a purpose.)

The following weeks went slowly after Kurama left. The light in Rain's eyes that had started to appear had faded. She went through the motions, but her heart was torn. She had not sent a letter to Kurama that first week, but had continued the next. They were strictly about her lessons and she never mentioned anything personal.

Reading them, Kurama felt his heartbreak. He had driven her away with his actions. He looked out his window, not noticing Hiei frowning at him from doorway before the small demon left the room.

Hiei was not happy with Kurama. Even from this distance, he could feel Rain's pain and conon. on. He knew it had to do something with Kurama, but the fox was just as miserable as Rain. He sighed 'Hmmm, I should do something to help them. I can't stand them being this miserable.' He frowned and walked downstairs, thinking.

At Hogwarts:


Rain, Harry and Hermione made their way to transfiguration, after breakfast. It was late October. Halloween was later this week and the school wavinaving a party. Costumes were encouraged. Harry and Hermione were talking about what they were going to go as, but Rain was silent, something was making her uneasy this morning. She couldn't figure it out, more like a premonition of something that would be happening later. She tamped it down as she walked into Transfiguration and sat next to Harry. They were in the front of the class, farthest table from the door.

Deep in the dungeons, Professor Snape was teaching a class of second years. It was a simple potion, one suppose to cure drowsiness. However the class moron, a slytherin much to his chagrin, was not paying attention and added about three wrong ingredients before Snape moved towards him. The boy was about to add powered unicorn horn to potion when Snape saw the deep red color. The potion is suppose to be green. He called out for the boy to stop, but a few drops of of the powered unicorn horn hit the potion causing an immediate reaction. A thick smoke rose from the potion and in his panic, the boy knocked over the cauldron, it spilling on the floor. The smoke spread through the room, students moving in confusion to get away from the potion. When the smoke cleared a group of six people stood, staring around the dungeon in confusion. The pulled a tight circle behind a short red headed man with a cross shaped scar on his left cheek.


The had had been standing in the middle of the Kamiya Dojo. Aoshi and Misao were leaving for Kyoto, having helped their friends, humorously called the Kenshin group, with a recent battle. Saying their good byes, Kenshin was talking with Aoshi while Misao and Kaoru hugged good bye. Yahiko was joking with Sano, having already said good bye to Misao and Aoshi. The suddenly blinked and stances changed to readiness when a thick fog covered them, rising from the ground. In a blink of an eye, the wind carried the fog away, leaving an empty courtyard at the Kamiya Dojo.

The fog cleared and they blinked, looking at the dark dungeon. A tall man in blacbes bes stood before children, about Yahiko's age, also dressed in black. Cauldron's bubbled on the tables. The children seemed frightened and who they assumed was the teacher of these children, kept them behind him. He spoke low in a threatening tone "Who are you?" Kenshin, not understanding English, dropped to a crouch, his hand going to the hilt of his reverse blade sword. Sano popped his knuckles, Yahiko pulled his wooden sword out and Kaoru readied herself, not having her wooden sword. Small daggers appeared in Misao's hands and Aoshi pulled his weapons.


Five floors above the dungeon, Rain sat in class, taking notes while Professor McGonagal talked. Suddenly her head shot up. She had felt a few fighter's chi she had not felt in over a hundred years. It took her only a second to recognize it before she cried out loudly, in surprise, "Kenshin" McGonagal stopped talking and looked at Rain as she stood and ran for the door, her fingers whipping off the head band as she ran. Her jagan was already open, a few students screamed at the sight of the third eye on her forehead as she ran out the door. She moved with beyond human like speed, jumping down from staircase to staircase, her hand pulling her 'dagger' from it's sheathe. Dumbledore came running down the hall, seeing her jump to that floor, heading towards the dungeons. A wicked sword in her hands, one side glowing blue, the other red. Her jagan was open and glowing a dark blue.

He followed her, although she was quickly out of sight.

Kenshin frowned at the teacher as he spoke in English again "Who are you?" Kenshin's frown deepened and he growled low "Why did you bring us here?" Snape frowned 'Was this man speaking Japanese?'

He was about to speak again when a flash of black shot in front of him and stopped. Rain stood before her potions teacher, a deadly looking sword held in front of her, ready for an attack, a third eye open on her forehead, glowing a dark blue. He saw the samurai's eyes widen and the man spoke to Rain.

The newcomers stared in shock at the small woman before them. "Rain? What are you doing here?" Kenshin asked, his voice shocked. He dropped his threatening stance a bit, as did the others. Yahiko spoke up "We just left you at the clinic with Megumi." Rain shook her head at her old friends. "This is the future for you. It is 2003 now. This is a school for witches and wizards in England." Kaoru's eyes widened "Witches and Wizards?" At Rain's nod, Kaoru looked to Kenshin "Kenshin?" Kenshin studied his friend. "If this is the future, how are you so young still. Were you taken with us?" Rain shook her head "You know what I am guys, I don't age. I've lived the years since then." She frowned softly and looked at them "It's good to see you."

Sano spoke up "How did we get here though?" Rain blinked and then turned to Snape, who was still behind her, slipping her sword back into it's sheath, the Kenshin group doing the same.

She spoke softly in English "What happened, Professor. How did they end up in Hogwarts?"

Snape glared at the girl ahead of him, the energy around her snapped, almost tangible. He noticed Dumbledore in the doorway. "One of my snts nts didn't listen to directions. I am not sure what the ingredients he added are, but I didn't catch him in time. Then he spilled whatever potion he made and suddenly these people are standing there. Who the they, Ms. Jaganishi?"

She frowned "This is Himura Kenshin, an old friend from JapaThesThese are what I call the Kenshin group. Sanosuke, Yahiko, Kaoru, Misao and Aoshi, although Aoshi will say he isn't in the Kenshin group at all. Actually Misao and Aoshi are part of the Oniwaban group from Kyoto. They are from the past, as in about 1883 or so." Snape frowned "How do you know them so well if they lived over a hundred years ago." Rain sighed and looked to Dumbledore. "Well," said Dumbledore "seems this is going to complicate things. Might as well announce who you are. Would you and the 'Kenshin group' please follow me? I wish to talk to them in my office, and I need you to translate." Rain nodded and relayed Dumbledore's message to her friends, who nodded in agreement.

Rain fell into step beside Yahiko "Hey, shorty, nice robes." He said obnoxiously. She grinned at her friend "Hmmmm, at least I'm not the freak here, Yahiko. You brat." Yahiko growled "freak?" while Kaoru just laughed "Serves you right, Yahiko, being rude to her like that. You know she can kick your butt." Rain just laughed and Sano patted her on the head, him walking behind her "But she wouldn't cause she loves us." Rain giggled "You just like me cause I'm the best cook amongst you." Yahiko and Sano heartedly agreed. Kenshin just shook his head and spoke to Rain "Where are we going, Miss Rain?" Rain looked at the samurai and smiled "Professor Dumbledore's office, Kenshin. It's alright." Kenshin nodded and looked to Aoshi who was frowning at the moving pictures.

Misao noticed where Aoshi was looking at and yelped when a woman in a picture waved to her. Rain giggles as Yahiko also noticed and nearly jumped into her arms. "Brave warrior you are, little Yahiko." His outraged voice echoed down the hall "LITTLE?" She giggled and hid behind Kenshin who appeared flustered "Hey now, I didn't say it, that I didn't. Don't hide behind me, Miss Rain." The others laughed as Yahiko tried to get past Kenshin to Rain, all the while still moving down the hall after Professor Dumbledore.

Dumbledore listened to the friendly banter behind him. He couldn't understand them, but he heard the laughter in their voice as he led them through the halls, towards off office. It was good to see Rain smiling again, she had been very withdrawn since Kurama had left them. Rain once again giggled at the choice of his password. "Gummy bears."

She followed him, singing softly "Gummi Bears, bouncing here and there and everywhere, flying adventures that are beyond compare, they are the gummi bears, they are the gummi bears." Dumbledore looked at her, amused "What?" She shook her head "Muggle song from a tv show." He chuckled and led them in. Kenshin heard the amused laugh of the old man and relaxed a bit. Rain was comfortable with him, he must be ok. Kenshin trusted Rain, even though she was a demoness.

The girls took the three chairs before Professor DUmbledore's desk. Kenshin stood behind Kaoru's chair, Aoshi behind Misao's. Yahiko and Sanosuke leaned against the wall, both of them just looking at the room. Kenshin was looking at Fawke's, he smiled and spoke "You have an interesting bird , si, sir." Rain translated and Dumbledore nodded "Yes, he is a pheonix." (from now on all conversation will be automatically translated, i am just not going to write that she does so)

Kenshin looked to Rain and she smiled as Dumbledoreke. ke. He told the group of the threat they were facing. He assured them that Professor Snape would be working on a solution to get them back in their own time, but until then, they could stay here if they liked. Kenshin nodded to this and replied "We would be honored to stay here, Professor. Until the time of our return, we will lend you our services to help Ms. Rain protect this Harry Potter." Dumbledore gave them a wide smile "Wonderful. Well, I will arrange quarters for you at once."

He turned serious and looked to Rain. "Now, I don't blame you for your reaction to your friends arrival. However most of the school knows that you have the jagan now, even if they don't know what it is. How would you like to handle this?" Rain sighed "I think that we should just let it be known. We don't have to say demon, just say I work for the spirit world and the Jagan strengthens my abilities to protect those around me. Which it does. I don't think Demon would be a good word to have thrown out there though. Most good demons are also called Apparitions. I know ghosts are called the same thing, but that is what we refer to ourselves as. So, how about I am an Apparition from Spirit World, that would work.

Dumbledore looked thoughtful and then slowly nodded "Yes, that would probably be best. If it was known a demon was at the school, then parents would demand their children return home at once, but putting it the other way would not cause as much alarm, and it is technically true, you do consider Spirit World your home now, correct? Rain nodded.

He smiled "It's settled then. As for your Jagan, maybe have it open at the meal tonight, if you wish and then keep it closed most of the time after that. It can be slightly distracting. However we should tell the students as much as possible." Rain nodded again and then stood as Dumbledore did "Well, supper is about to start. Let us take our guests down to the great hall and introduce them. I can tell the students you are from spirit world also." Rain nodded and relayed the message to Kenshin who nodded, as did the others.


They made their way down to the great hall, Yahiko and Sanosuke were grinning at the thought of food. Misao, Kaoru and Rain were giggling as Yahiko and Sanosuke went on about how they could out eat each other. Aoshi and Kenshin were softly talking together, not having their conversation overheard. Dumbledore led the way, as before, and once again he smiled at the seemingly friendly banter going on behind him.
