From Demons to Dementors

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! !!!”

“bloody hell!” surius jumped, frantically trying to figure out why his godson was screaming. He looked over to kagome concluding it was, in fact, her doing.

“what did you do to him!” he yelled at her. Kagome's eye was twitching as she tried hard not to strangle every male in sight. `Why me, why oh why oh why me? Why not someone else? Damn' kagome couldn't help but beg the heavens

“SILENCE!” kagome's normally quiet voice boomed across the room, effectively shutting the screaming child up. Harry looked around the room with wide eyes, finally landing on Sirius.

“Sirius!” harry cried, grabbing his godfathers arm and holding it as though it was the last drop of water on this earth.

“are you ok!?” the both asked at the same time, checking the other for any damage.

“I'm fine, what's going on? What happened?” Sirius hugged Harry tightly, glad that he seemed to be ok.

“you were possessed by a rather nasty demon mr.black” kagome cut in, wishing for them to cut down the lovey dovey drama as much as possible

“possessed? Demons?” Sirius was confused, the last thing he could remember was dosing off in the chair by the fire, hypnotized by the strange shadows the fire was producing.

“yes, a demon thought it could try to attack me, through you might I add, when my guard was down, needless to say it was too weak to do any real harm. You may just feel slightly confused for a few days, maybe a little drained of energy but that is all”

“what happened to the…to the demon?” Sirius asked, questioning the existence of demons and disliking the constant feeling of confusion that went with it.

“gone, it was just a small piece of a larger being…we will encounter him at a later date” kagome frowned at the thought.

“well what about Harry? What happened to him…and souta?” Sirius was lightheaded so he sat on the edge of the bed.

“we were attacked…” harry looked around the room for the one person he was both happy and scared to see. Green eyes met grey as harry jumped back in surprise.

“your back” he whispered.

“yeah I'm back” kagome almost felt sorry that her other self attacked the boy, but that was just his innocence calling out to her like a lost child.

“who attacked you! Was it voldermort!?” Sirius asked harry angrily.

“no, it was someone much stronger, and way more evil than voldermort” harry shuddered, remembering red eyes.

“you killed him right? He's dead now?” harry's eyes begged kagome to reassure him. Her eyes avoided his as she looked at souta sadly.

“he is gone” she said simply. lupin watched her very closely, now remembering a slightly similar conversation they had about death and its definition.

“what is going on! If it wasn't voldermort then who was it!!??” Sirius looked around for answers, frowning when all eyes turned to the new chick. Kagome looked to the ceiling for guidance before walking over to souta's bed.

“the one who attacked them was, in a sense, me” she said with a tired voice. Luckily no one yelled or tried to fight her so she could continue with the explanation that she so desperately did not wish to give.

“his name was…is…Naraku and he is a part of me” kagome sat beside souta and stroked his hair, not wishing to wake him up just yet and look at eyes filled with betrayal.

“but there was a time when we were separate entities…that time was long ago” she closed her eyes

`must I tell them?'

`yes…it is time to let others know what danger we carry inside us'

`but I haven't even told…'

`I know, I too am angry that these unfamiliar people must learn our secret before those we trust most…but it seems to be unavoidable'

`he is growing stronger'

`I know'

`it won't be much longer will it?'

`no'

Kagome opened her eyes and raised them to meet the speechless wizards.

“in a final act of desperation, I trapped Naraku's soul within my own, and for all intensive purposes, killing him to the outside world” kagome placed her hand over her heart.

“in times of war, people do some crazy things, it has been said `desperate times calls for desperate measures'. Sometimes your foe will be stronger than you, a lot stronger…but that does not mean they can't be defeated, just not killed. It's a small price to pay in normal circumstances, to give up yourself to save others but I was never a normal circumstance” she sighed in memory

“I was, and still am, familiar with the bonding and dividing of souls, I have on many occasions dealt with such matters, I suppose I am somewhat of an expert” she shrugged as if to offer no further explanation.

“it has long since been forgotten, these methods of bonding, you have probably never heard of such things. The last great war this world has seen was just about 500 years ago, many creatures died, along with a great number of techniques, this being one of them.”

“great war? Like world wars?” lupin asked confusedly. Kagome felt like stabbing him again, only this time in his head. As if sensing a long explanation, mrs.weasly conjured up some chairs for everyone to sit in. kagome politely refused, choosing instead to lean up against the wall closest to souta's bed.

“the great demon war” kagome reached into her haori and pulled out a long, elegant looking pipe, with what looked like symbols carved all around it. The pipe, lupin thought, suspiciously resembled an opium pipe, but chose to ask kagome about her smoking habits later. kagome carefully bit her finger, drawing blood, and squeezed it into the part that you would normally put tobacco, she then put the pipe to her lips and blew ever so softly.

“the wood of the goshinboku has many special properties, one of which is the ability to transcend time itself” she ended off in a whisper, smoke leaking from her lips like a lovers kiss. It was an unusual smoke, instead of dispersing in the air like normal, it gathered in the air and hung, heavy and thick.

“the last great demon war, the final fight against Naraku …Feudal Japan” kagome blew a large puff in the air and watched as it swirled around, changing colors and shifting until they could almost make out shapes.

“whaaa?” harry gasped as the foggy picture cleared, perfectly showing two people standing on top of a cliff overlooking thousands of thousands of what looked like soldiers.

“that's…” lupin eyes grew wide at the t.v like image.

“yes, that is me…500 years ago…and standing next to me is…”

 

AN- can you guess who? >_<
