I only claim onto Rain and the story line.


The Kenshingumi and Rain followed Professor Dumbledore down to the great hall. The rest of the school was gathered there, all talking about Rain's third eye. The hall grew deathly quiet when the newcomers entered behind the headmaster. A collective gasp echo'd through the hall at the sight of Rain's still open Jagan. They all followed the headmaster's progress to the front and the whole school was riveted on him.

Dumbledore smiled to him students "We have some guests staying with us due to a problem down in the dungeons earlier today. They are a group of friends from Japan and are from the past. They do not speak english, but we will settle that soon enough with charmed items to translate their words." Rain had been translating all this to her friends.

Dumbledore smiled to Rain and she sighed, putting on an emotionless mask and he spoke again "Ok, I am sure you all know that Ms. Jaganashi has a third eye in the middle of her forehead. While it is true that she is currently living in Japan and transferred from there, she is in actuality an apparition from what is called the spirit world. She draws on spiritual magic as well as wand magic. As for why this was not known to you before, well it is because it was her wish for it to not be known. As for the third eye, known as a Jagan, she will have to explain that to you at her leasure."

He looked to Rain who just nodded and then he spoke again "Ok, well, we will allow the Kenshin group to sit where they please, but I am sure that will be with Gryffindor with Ms. Jaganashi." She translated and Kenshin nodded. Dumbledore spoke low to Rain before they left to take their seats "I will have the charms for you later today."

Rain nodded "Thank you Professor." and moved down the steps, having the Kenshingumi follow her. She sat down next to Harry, Yahiko sitting next to her, Sanosuke on the otherside of Yahiko. Kaoru sat across from her, next to Ron, Kenshin next to Kaoru, followed by Misao and Aoshi.

Rain made quick introductions to Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Harry but conversation was stilted amongst her new friends and old friends till those charms arrived. She smiled apologetically to her wizard friends "Do you mind if I converse with them right now?" Harry shook his head no and she smiled gratefully. She looked at Yahiko and Sanosuke as they yelled with glee at the food that appeared. Kenshin just raised an eyebrow and Aoshi and Misao frowned at it.

Kaoru was piling food onto her plate when Yahiko spoke up with a mouthful of food. "Geez, Kaoru, why can't you cook this well." Rain, Misao and Kaoru immediately yelled "YAHIKO" who meerly laughed with Sanosuke.

Rain leaned close to Yahiko "Yahiko, you are such a brat. You should be nicer to your teacher." He frowned at her "That ugly girl?" Rain bonked him on the head and the rest of the group laughed. Misao was laughing so hard that food came out of her mouth. Sano and Kenshin both yelped and moved away. Yahiko started to laugh at her "Hey, Weasel Girl, you need some manners." She yelled and stood up, trying to jump the table to get to Yahiko "WEASEL GIRL?" Aoshi and Kenshin were holding her back. "Now, now Miss Misao, you shouldn't go after Yahiko, that you shouldn't" Kenshin was saying when the group heard hysterical laughter.

They all looked over to see Rain laughing behind her hand, her eyes merrily twinkling at them. Kaoru noticed the looks of surprise on Rain's other friends and looked puzzled. They were looking at Rain as if she never laughed. The Rain they knew was so carefree and funny that her laughing like this was nothing new.

Yahiko frowned at her "What's so funny, baka?" Rain shook her head and tried to catch her breath "Oh nothing, I just haven't heard this type of ranting in a long time, please remember that. I forgot how funny you guys are is all."

Kenshin regarded her as she tried to compose herself. He had also noticed the looks her other friends were giving and wondered about the underlying sadness in her eyes, even when she was laughing at them. His face switched for a moment from the rurouni to the real Kenshin before going back to the rurouni. Kaoru saw this and looked at Rain before returning to her food, still listening to the others around the table.

Lunch passed with many bursts of laughter from the Kenshingumi. The rest of the school spent most of their lunch hour watching the goings of at the end of the Gryffindor table. The rest of the students stood and were filling out of the great hall, towards class when Dumbledore approached with a small box. "These are the charms" he said. Small simple rings were in the box and he passed them out. Once slipped onto a finger, they would magically shrink to fit the wearer. Suddenly the Kenshingumi could understand and speak english. They could still speak Japanese to talk to each other, but this would allow them to speak in English and understand it also.

Dumbledore smiled after they all had the rings on "Are they working?" Kenshin nodded "They work fine, that they do." Dumbledore got a confused look on his face until Rain leaned over "They work, he always talks like that." Kenshin just went "oro?"

Dumbledore nodded "Well, Ms. Jaganashi, you have the rest of the afternoon off from classes to get your friends settled into their rooms. If you will all follow me."

With that he led them to a set of quarters near the Gryffindor tower. He came to portrait of a young woman holding a rose. He spoke a word "Demon" to the portrait and the portrait entered. Rain gave a sharp look to Dumbledore, however, Sanosuke gasped and yelped "Witchcraft" followed by a round of groans and a smack from Kaoru who muttered "Well, honestly Sano. Of course it is." The Kenshingumi followed Dumbledore and Rain into the common room. The other stared in awe, but Rain thought the Gryffindor common room was much more impressive and didn't look that impressed.

Dumbledore smiled "Well, you may attend classes or stay here during the day. Rain, you will need to attend classes as usual, and sleep in your room, other then that you will be allowed to hang out here." He smiled to them and left them "See you at supper."


Yahiko, Misao and Sanosuke went off to inspect the rooms, Kaoru following close behind while Kenshin and Rain sat down. Aoshi stood nearby, looking suspiciously around the room. Kenshin looked at Rain "Some things have changed you since you last saw us, that they did." Rain sighed "Never able to hide things from you Kenshin." She stood and began to pace, Kenshin just watched her.

"I found my siblings. They are wonderful, everything I expected." she sighed. "Then what is wrong, Ms. Rain?"

Rain sighed and flopped down onto a chair "My brother's best friend. His name is Kurama. He is a fox spirit. I'm in love with him."

Aoshi grunted "Love" and walked off in search of Misao. Kenshin just looked at his friend "Something happened, did it not?" Rain nodded "He was here a few weeks back and ummmm I kissed him. I practically threw myself at him." she sighed "I think I scared him off."

Kenshin sighed, he was not use to dealing with Rain being this emotional, she was a demoness after all. "Would you like to go outside and spar?" Rain blinked and looked up at him "What?"

He shrugged "That always seemed to get your mind off of troubles before, come on, to you it has been a long time, that it has." Rain suddenly broke into a smile. "Yes, let's go spar. We can use the Quidditch field, it's not in use right now anyways."

The others had come into the common room and had heard this. Yahiko cheered "Yes, I love seeing your Demon ryu up against the Hiten Misturgi Ryu. Let's go." Rain just shook her head and the group headed outside towards the Quidditch field. They saw no on in the halls and had arrived on the field.

The others stood back as Kenshin and Rain faced each other. Kenshin dropped to a crouch, his hand hovering over his reverse blade sword. Rain's hand hovering over her sheathed "Dagger" ready to pull it from her sheath and show the blade of the sword it would become.

Suddenly her Jagan flared a dark blue and her head whipped up to look up into the stands. All turned and looked up and were surprised to notice a black clothed figure with a jagan on the top of one of the stands. Kenshin frowned and suddenly Rain smiled and waved at the figure "HIEI"

She looked to the Kenshingumi "Hiei is my brother" Yahiko, not having heard the news she found her brother, just muttered "You're brother?" At his words, Hiei flitted down to them, Sanosuke muttering under his breathe "Yeah, he's her brother all right." Hiei frowned at Rain "Who are these people, Rain?"

Rain smiled to Hiei, but he still saw the same misery in her eyes that was in Kurama's. "Hiei, this is the Kenshingumi, my good friends from the late 1800's. I have told you about them." Hiei frowned "How are they here?" Rain and the others quickly explained what was going on and Hiei nodded "This might help with our current mission." He nodded to her friends before turning to his sister. "I came to speak to you, Rain."

She sighed and looked to the Kenshingumi "Excuse us, ok?" with that, she grabbed Hiei and pulled him away from the others. "About Kurama?"

Hiei nodded "Yes, about Kurama". He was distressed to see Rain's eyes fill with tears, although she didn't cry. "He must hate me. I practically threw myself on him." Hiei shook his head "I usually don't interfere with these Ningen issues, but the baka kitsune is in love with you. He is miserable without you. He thinks you hate him."

Rain just stared open mouth at her brother "What? Kurama loves me?" Hiei nodded and she looked away "How do I show him how I feel?"

Hiei smiled 'Good, she was feeling the same. Now time to set the plan into motion.' "Kurama got an invitation to the Halloween dance from Professor Dumbledore. I can convince him to come, say you want to clear the air with him." Rain looked at her brother "Then what?"

Hiei smiled at her and pulled her close, whispering to her. The Kenshingumi saw Rain smile that evil smile that meant she was planning something and they all felt a bit nervous when she looked straight at them with the same devilish smile. Their unease grew when her brother grinned the same grin.

Kenshin muttered "I have a bad feeling about this, that I do."

(A/N there you go. Once ag I k I know Hiei is a twin, not a triplet, however I need him to be a triplet in this story for my purposes. Also, would my readers like to see a sparring session between Kenshin and Rain? I leave that up to you. If you do then I will get one together, using my own moves for Rain and Kenshin's moves. It will take some research to do, which is why I didn't include it in this chapter. Well, hope you enjoyed this installment.)
