From demons to dementors

 

 

“this year will be very different” he smiled and patted his chest pocket where kagome's blood ball pulsed softly in time with his heart beat.

~that morning~

lupin was the first one to wake up, actually he never fell asleep in the first place. He couldn't rest his mind with all the unanswered questions floating around his head. He walked down the stairs, trying not to run and show his anxiousness to see kagome safe and sound. Thinking back on it he didn't know how it happened, but the cold and mysterious kagome had somehow wheedled her way into his heart, especially after last night, he grimaced thinking about it. Despite his friends warnings, he considered her an ally, a friend, if anything…a puzzle. He almost tripped on the last step when he saw kagome at the bottom landing, calmly, abet, seriously talking to mrs.black. she was drinking a steaming cup of something and muttering quietly to mrs.black, frowning. Mrs.black, seeing him, stopped the private conversation, knowing that kagome had already sensed him

“ka…kagome” he inwardly cursed his stuttering. She turned around and looked at him, raising an eyebrow in question.

“how are you? I mean…how are you feeling?” he blushed but under his pink cheeks was concern for his new friend. Kagome saw this and frowned

“fine” she said coldly and turned back to mrs.black

“I met kagura a long time ago, we weren't exactly the best of friends…but neither are we now” kagome ignored the aura of pain and confusion behind her

“four years before I died, I was in a café when we bumped into each other, I'm sure you can tell how that went, we soon became fast friends… oh how we loved to play with the men” mrs.black smiled wistfully. Kagome also smiled slightly, thinking of the poor boys that were unfortunate enough to walk past the windwitch and mrs.black. lupin who was obviously dismissed, stared for a few seconds before turning into the kitchen. Kagome could hear the stirrings up stairs, most of them would be awake soon. She bowed good bye to mrs.black and followed lupins path to the kitchen. She sat down across from him, setting her cup down and staring intently at lupins eyes. He stared right back at her.

“your not hurt?” lupin asked worriedly. Kagome shook her head

“tired but not dead” she took a sip of her drink. Lupin looked at it curiously

“herbs…medicine” she said eyeing the liquid with disdain.

“what…what happened?” he asked. Kagome closed her eyes

“an accident, one which you would be wise to forget” she opened her eyes, warning clearly written in them

“how? And why? I have so many questions” he wanted answers so badly. Kagome sighed.

“that's the problem with today, it used to be that you could kill whoever asked to many questions…oh well” lupin's eyes widened

“I was lazy, it wont happen again…I am sorry for what you had to witness” she added quietly. Lupin was speechless

“but who is he? Where'd he come from and where did he go? You killed him right?” he leaned forward in his chair. Kagome sighed again

“his name is Naraku and if you wish to live, I wouldn't repeat that name aloud…ever” she glared, inwardly wincing at the rate of which information was leaking form her loosened lips, then she turned her attention to her cup glaring and cursing the herb's side effects…she hated side effects

“as for where he came from and where he went to, it's none of your concern, all you need to know it that he is gone from here, and if you are lucky, you will never have to see his face again” she finished the medicine, throwing her head back as if it was a shot of strong alcohol, lupin frowned and could help but notice that she didn't confirm that that horrible man was dead, even though she has cut his throat. Then again, she too had fatal wounds and she didn't die but given her attitude about the subject, he didn't want to push it too much

“how are you still alive? Let alone standing?” he asked remembering the severity of her wounds last night, kagome shifted in her chair

“and what would you do? Rest? Sleep? Take the day off?” she scowled when he nodded

“you and your people are spoiled, almost begging for extinction” she shook her head

“I don't understand, when you are ill or injured, you have to rest and recover” lupin tried to defend his point

“I am not allowed such luxuries” she said coldly

“well why not?, who would know if you did?” lupin pushed, she frowned at him

“you insult my honor” she pushed the chair back and stood up

“if I rest, if I sleep, if I take the day off….you will know, and you will regret it…” she cut her self off, not wanting to tell him more, it would just stir up more questions, she hated questions.

“you will never fully understand my situation…questions about my life are frowned upon, I would stop before you loose something you might miss ” like your head she turned around and walked out of the kitchen. Lupin noticed her clenched hand, nails digging into her palms. The door closed softly behind her, he didn't follow, instead he reached into his pocket and fiddled with kagome's blood ball. Kagome, still on the other side of the door, sighed. The household would soon be awake and active. She flinched, thinking about all the questions…She hated questions. The front door swung open, kagome stared at it for a few seconds, contemplating a possible threat. Then she looked at the portrait of mrs.black, she was sitting down with a cup f tea trying to look innocent, mrs.black then turned her head and winked at kagome. Kagome smirked and walked out the door into the early morning mist. Lupin ran out of the kitchen when her heard the front door close, he looked at mrs.black, who scowled back at him, then he looked at the door, wondering why the magic alarm didn't go off when the door opened.

“ummm, mrs.black, you would have happened to see…..” he flinched when she started to scream at him. Lupin heard a crash up stairs followed by multiple pairs of rushing footsteps. The house was awake and everyone was coming down the stairs, thanks to mrs.blacks early morning wake up call

“GOD DAMNIT!!” cursed Sirius as he thumped down the stairs, followed by harry and then everyone else

“SHUT UP!!!!” he yelled at his mother, causing her to scream louder

“what do we do? The curtains were destroyed in the fire?” harry yelled, plugging his ears

“I've got it covered, move aside” moody, the last one down the stairs, limped over, shoving everyone out of the way. He made his way to the front of the crowd and whipped out his wand. He glared at mrs.black and mumbled a few choice words, thrusting his wand towards the picture. Mrs.black stopped screaming, instead she was laughing, laughing at the confused and horrified faces of the wizards. Moody tried again…nothing. She smirked

“what's the matter? Can't bind me behind those horrible curtains?” she sang happily

“what!! Why didn't it work??!!” Sirius yelled, mrs.black jus smirked at him again

“it pays to be respectful to your superiors, in return, you might just receive a token, I like to stay in the favor of those who can help me, unlike you foolish men” she pointed to the corner of her picture, they all moved closer to look. At the bottom left of the picture there was a small, dark red, almost black crescent moon. Moody tried the spell again and they watched at the little tattoo glowed crimson. Sirius and lupin studied it. Lupin, thinking about what mrs.black had said, fiddling with the blood ball again. Sirius, thinking of the evil bitch kagome, and all the horrible ways he could kill her. Sirius frowned and touched the mark, black electricity ignited, wrapping around his hand and burning him, causing his skin to sizzle and smoke.

“AHHHHHH!!!!!!” he yelled, falling back, grasping his wounded hand. Mrs.black almost danced in glee

“I'm under HER protection now bastard” she smiled. Every one gathered around Sirius, trying to look at the damage. Sirius yelled at them to back off, they did so, reluctantly. He glared at his mothers portrait, the rest of them looked at the little moon fearfully.

“you shouldn't have pissed her off, especially since she is the only hope you brainless fools have” she grinned, loving her newfound freedom.

“what do you mean?” lupin, the ever diplomatic one stepped forward. Mrs.black looked at him, thoughtfully.

“ask him” she nodded to souta, who had been quiet through out the whole thing. He hung his head.

“I don't know” he said

“you know what this is” she smiled, souta slowly nodded his head. Hermione placed her hand in his.

“what is it souta?” lupin asked softly

“and what did It do to sirius?” harry added. Souta looked around, searching for his sister

“where is she?” he asked anyone. They all shrugged

“she is gone” mrs.black said simply

“WHAT!”

“she'll be back, go on and tell the poor fools what this mark means” mrs.black grinned evilly at them. Souta nodded again.

“it's a possession mark” he said

“a what?” ron asked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes

“a possession mark, it basically means that whatever has that mark, is under kagome's protection” he pulled down the neck of his shirt

“I have one too” he touched his shoulder and a little, red crescent moon glowed.

“what does it do?” lupin inspected souta's mark

“it's a warning, to those who understand it's meaning…at least that what kagome has told me” he said pulling his shirt back up.

“a warning?” tonks yawned wishing for a cup of tea to wake her up

“yeah, basically, any one who knows of kagome…and her past, knows what she is capable of…believe me, most beings know not to piss her off” souta shrugged as if that was answer enough.

“ok, but what did it do to Sirius?!” harry pointed to his godfather who was currently moaning and rubbing his hand.

“let me see” souta moved next to Sirius. Sirius held out his hand for souta's inspection.

“ahhhh” he hissed. Souta almost fell back in shock, his hand was red, red with irritated skin, most of it was just barely hanging on, there were black char marks running up and down his hand, some of his skin was still slightly sizzling, he almost threw up when he saw some of the skin bubble and pop.

“it's a purification burn” he said breathlessly. How can this be? Kagome's miko powers should only harm a demon!!! And Sirius is not a demon…what the hell is going on!!??

“it shouldn't have burned him” souta said desperately wishing kagome was there to answer his questions.

“what do you mean?” lupin asked, quietly trying to heal his friends hand and frowning when the magic didn't work.

“miko powers, holy powers cant harm humans…” souta trailed off when he saw sirius's glare. Lupin helped the wounded Sirius to his feet.

“well then why did he get burned?” harry asked, supporting sirius's other side.

“yes, tell us, why were you burned?” a sarcastic voice said from behind them.
