I only claim onto Rain and the story line.

(A/N Ok, here is part two of this whole getting ready for the party. Starting with Kurama's POV. Hope you enjoy).

Hiei had been gone for the day, he didn't know where he was, but it was boring sitting there at 12 Grimmauld Place alone. He didn't really go on any patrols for the order, being a demon and such. His one job was to find out who the demon or demons were that had joined with Lord Voldemort. He sighed and walked to the window of his room opening it up and almost got knocked over as a certain fire demon came through it. "Hiei"

"Hn. Any luck finding out who it is?"

Kurama sighed "No, no luck." Hiei nodded and walked to his bedroom. "Well,ad tad the urge to visit my sister and some interesting things are happening at Hogwarts."

There was a knock on the door before Kurama could begin to question Hiei. Molly Weasely stuck her head in the door at Kurama's "Come". She looked to them "We just got word from Dumbledore about an incident that happened today. Come downstairs so we can let everyone know."

Kurama nodded and stood. He was followed out the door and down the hall by Hiei. They passed the picture of Siriumothmother and Hiei grinned. The first time the woman had yelled, he had gotten right in her face, formed fire in his hand and threatened her. She had been quiet ever since. The rest of the Order (except Kurama) were a bit shocked at this, but thankful of the results, no matter how unorthodox the method.

Everyone gred red around the table to discuss what had happened. Dumbledore's letter had reported the arrival of the Kenshingumi and their willingness to help protect Harry while they were staying at Hogwarts. It also reported that they were old friends of Rain. Kurama looked stunned by this, as did everyone else, except Hiei. Hiei just grunted "If my sister trusts them, then maybe we should too." He turned and flitted off.

After giving a small apologetic smile, Kurama followed his best friend.

Arriving back in his bedroom, Kurama frowned at Hiei. Hiei just looked at him "The one called Sano seems a bit chummy with Rain. I wonder if they had a thing going on in Rain's past." With those words, Hiei picked up a book and pretended to start reading. Kurama was so stunned by Hiei's words that he didn't notice that Hiei's activities were false.


A day passed and they got an owl from Rain, asking for some odd type of clothing for her wizard friends. Hiei got Kurama into going with him, mainly to get him out of the house, but also because Kurama could find these items easier then Hiei. They spent the day out of the house, getting the four "flower child" outfits for the wizards and then sent them as soon as they got back to the house.

Kurama had finally admitted he would be attending the party, but he said nothing else on the matter, not even what his outfit would be. Finally it was the day of the party, Halloween. Kurama left in time to make it to Hogwarts in time and was greated by Dumbledore who was walking the grounds, moving back to the castle. He smiled to the kitsune "Hello again. Glad to see you could make it to our party."

Kurama smiled to him. He was wearing his white fighting outfit tonight. Dumbledore led him into the castle and to the great hall. The party was already in full swing, but Kurama's presence was still noticed by the girls of Hogwarts.. He also realized who was raising his senses since he had arrived at Hogwarts. Rain had gone to the party in demon form. People were moving around her as if they didn't want to get close, except for Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and six others who he could only guess were the Kenshingumi. Rain had her arippeipped through a tall man's. He wore all white with a red sash tied around his forehead. The large group was laughing. Kurama frowned, jealous.

Turning Kurama slipped out into the hallway and saw it was empty. Fine, she wants to go as Arctic Fire? Then he could go as Yoko. He transformed.

In the hall Rain felt Kurama's spirit energy go up and spoke just as he entered again, her eyes now on the doorway "Oh no."

All the others looked up as a tall man with silver hair and pale skin entered. He wore a silver outfit that looked like pants and a shirt, but flowed off him as if it were a part of him. Fox ears sat on top of his head and five tails hung down to the floor behind him. He gave Rain a very unShuuichi like smirk and walked over to them. By now the others had seen this man and once again, the girls were taken with this new form, although they didn't know it was Kurama.

The Kenshingumi did not know this was Kurama. She had not told them what his demon form looked like and this new person did not have red hair. Kurama let the Yoko take over as he arrived in front of Sanosuke and Rain. "I think you should take your hands off her now" his voice was soft and deadly. Everyone in the great hall stopped talking, it became deadly silent. Rain was looking up in surprise at seeing Yoko Kurama and frowned as Kenshin spoke up behind them. "You will not threaten one of my friends, that you won't."

Sanosuke was now cracking his fists and the look on Yoko's face was very familiar to Rain. It was the one that he had before he destroyed half of Yusuke's neighborhood.

Sanosuke took a punch at Yoko and Dumbledore, realizing what had happened, started to herd all the children and teachers out the door, realizing that w Rai Rain hadn't fully transformed, Kurama hnd tnd this would not be pretty.

Rain spoke softly to the others "Stay back, I didn't realize he would transform if I did." With that she moved off after Yoko, Sanosuke and Kenshin, drawing her sword. The blade raged with fon oon one side, ice on the other. The effects of the sword were more intense iis fis form.

Kenshin and Sano were approaching an enraged Yoko. Rain moved swiftly, coming up behind Kenshin, having to stop the faster of the two. She didn't want anyone to get hurt here. She lept with a simple attack which Kenshin swung around and blocked. She held her pose, loo at at him "Leave him alone, Kenshin, I will stop this." Kenshin looked thoughtfully at the now fighting Sanosuke and the fox. "That is Kurama?" he guessed. At her nod he turned and walked back to the others, leaving Rain to stop the enraged demon fox.

Yoko had pulled a seed out of his hair and his rose whip was now out. Sanosuke was just trying to avoid the deadly looking whip when he slipped on the a spilled drink on the floor, falling on his butt. Yoko pulled the whip back, ready to slash it. The whip came down and was blocked by Rain's sword. She had jumped with her lightening fast speed and arrived in front of Sanosuke, saving him. Yoko's head reared back. Even in this form, he still loved her.

He called his rose whip back into a rose and let it drop to the floor, at her feet. She had saved him, she chose this ningen. He looked at her for a long time, she looking back at him, her sword now sheathed. He looked down at Sanosuke, who was now standing and spoke low "You ever hurt her, you will have to answer to me." With that Yoko turned and started walking towards the door. Rain just blinked at his words and then reached down, picking up the rose. Kurama was almost to the door when he heard her speak. "Kurama?"

Sano blinked and looked at Rain as she studied the rose, "That is Kurama?" at her nod he frowned "opps". He stood up and followed Kurama who turned on him, still in Yoko form "Why do you follow me, ningen." He spoke low and threateningly. Sano bit back his nervousness and spoke lazily "Hey man, you have it all wrong. Rain and I are just really good friends. She has been a bit depressed we had noticed, so I decided to ask her to the dance just to cheer her up. Trust me, Rain and I have nothing going on between us. The woman I like is still back in Japan."

You hear Misao gasp in the background and Kaoru yell out "I knew it". Sanot sit sighs.

Yoko looks at this ningen before him "Truthfully?" Rain nods and comes around Sanosuke "Yes, Yoko, I don't have any feelings for Sano, other then friendship." Yoko looks down at red red skinned demon before him "Arcticfire." He takes the rose out of her hand and sticks it in her hair.

"What is your problem, Yoko?" she gazes into his eyes.

He frowns and looks at the others before looking back at her "I love you and I can't take this crap anymore. I am tired of the just fds gds game. Either you love me or you don't, but I am done living like this." his voice grows softer "I can't live a lie with you. You mean to much to me." Arcticfire looks at him expressionless, no longer Rain, "Is that all?"

Yoko frowns and a tear slips down his face and he turns to go. A very warm hand stops him from walking away. He turns and looks at Arcticfire holding his hand and then looks into her beautiful red eyes. A tear slips down her cheek and he reaches out and catches the resulting tear gem with a finger. "Don't cry, please, I can't stand to see you cry." Yoko's face is pained.

Arcticfire lets Rain take back over and she smiles to him "Then don't walk away from me again, that hurts to much." She steps in closer to him and pulls on his shirt to get him to bend over. His head comes down to her level and he hears her whisper "I love you" as her arms wrap around his neck, her head resting on his shoulder.

Yoko stands in shock and suddenly the redheaded human form is in his place, both arms wrapped around a now normal Rain. He pulls her closer to him and she lifts her head from his shoulder and their lips meet.

Kurama once again feels like he is drowning and his lips move over Rain's. She tasteo swo sweet. Suddenly they hear a few girls sigh and break apart, looking at the Kenshingumi and the wizards still there. Kaoru, Misao, Hermione and Ginny all have stars in their eyes, silly grins on their faces. The men, on the other hand, look very embarrassed to be there.

A soft chuckleld bld be heard coming from the rafters and all eyes turned to look up as Hiei lets his presence be known. "Hn, about damn time."

Kurama looked a bit shocked "Hiei?" Hiei flitted down onto the floor next to his sister and best friend. "Yep. Good, my plan worked. I was tired of you two moping."

A new voice sounded from behind Kurama and all gave a small jump "What is going on here, Ms. Jaganashi and Mr. Kurama?"

All turned to look at Dumbledore "Well, ummm, Professor." Rain started.

Kurama sighed and bowed his head "I am sorry, Professor Dumbledore. I saw Rain in her demon form and let mine out too. Guess I went farther in my transformation then she did." Dumbledore looked around the room "Well, my great hall is not harmed, so I g we we will continue the party, as long as all demons stay out of demon form."

Hiei, Kurama and Rain nodded and Dumbledore looked curiously at Hiei "You must be Mr. Jaganashi, am I right?" Hiei nodded to him and Dumbledore smiled "Well, you may stay as well then." He walked back to the door of the great hall "You may all come back in now, the problem is over."

Kurama, Rain and Hiei went over to their friends. Kurama apologized to Sanosuke for attng hng him. Sano just laughed "Hey, not like that was the first time I got into a fight." Kurama looked relieved he had been forgiven. The Kenshingumi, wizards and demons stood in a corner, talking and joking comfortably for the rest of the dance. No one bothered them. Finally the last dance was called, Kurama realized he and Rain had not danced at all and pulled her with him to the dance floor, gathering her into his arms.

Rain felt the blush grow from her neck to her cheek, but she mearly leaned against Kurama and let him hold her. Neither spoke during the dance, just enjoyed the feel of the other. The song ended much to soon and the new couple broke apart smiling. Hiei and Kurama followed the wizards and Kenshingumi, as well as Rain, back to the Kenshingumi's private common room. They continued to joke and talk for another hour. Kurama was sitting in a chair, Rain in his lap. Hiei was crouched on the windowsill. Yahiko was teasing Sanosuke mercilessly about Megumi. Kenshin and Kaoru were laughing and Aoshi was sitting silently while Misao fell asleep against his shoulder. The wizards had gone back to the Gryffindor tower awhile back.

Suddenly a new voice ded ded again. Aoshi and Kenshin tensed up, Misao waking slightly. Kaoru looked shocked and Yahiko and Sanosuke started to laugh at the pacifier in the teenager's mouth. However the three demon's stared in shock at the intruder, Kurama finally breaking their silence, being heard over Yahiko and Sanosuke's laughter. "Koenma?"
