From Demons to Dementors

“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…”

“Naraku!” Lupin growled at the picture. Kagome nodded slowly, ignoring the confused looks she was getting.

“yes, Naraku, my mate” she spat the last word. Lupin met her eyes remembering his first meeting with Naraku.

“wait? Who is naraku and what do you mean by mate?” Surius seemed to be pushing back his confusion so that he could get answers like a member of The Order should.

“Naraku was a half demon who, in the feudal era, strove to become the most powerful demon in Japan…and let me tell you he came quite close” she smirked in remembrance.

“again with demons? Your sure they exist? And why don't we have any information on them” Sirius was very interested in this new information, as was the rest of The Order. Mad eye moody grunted in agreement from the corner of the room.

“yes, demons at one point in time did exist, in fact they strived, over populating the humans for many years. There are very few demons left these days, even fewer with full demon blood in their veins. Demons, as a race, are very reclusive beings, they have worked hard for thousands of years to remain invisible to human history” kagome took another drag on her pipe, keeping the suspended image alive.

“if they are such a big secret then why is it that you know so much about demons?” mr.weasly asked curiously. Kagome shrugged as if that was answer enough

“I have lived around demons my entire life, I suppose I am like the team mascot” she snorted, kagome could swear she could hear laughing in her head.

“I noticed you didn't say anything about what being naraku's mate meant” lupin pointed out. Kagome couldn't help but shudder.

“a mate is a demon term, it's meaning is hard to understand for humans…” she paused trying to find the words to describe it

“it's like a marriage but so much more…being a mate is like sharing your soul with someone…demons mate for life, there is no such thing as divorce, a mate is like your other half, without it you can't breathe… there is no second chances…even death wont separate you” kagome ended with a whisper, her eyes had gone far away and a sad look had settled on her face. The room was quiet, stagnant with emotion.

“why? Why would you want to be a mate to such a horrible demon” harry looked hurt, almost betrayed. Kagome took a deep breath and let it go slowly with a hiss of almost pain. Lupin closed his eyes, he knew how, he had heard how from the demons very own lips…and it made him sick!

“sometimes…sometimes harry, things don't go as planned….sometimes…people don't get happy endings…and sometimes…we have to sacrifice ourselves for the people we love” kagome sad softly to the boy.

“but...why?” harry whispered sadly. Kagome looked at the other occupants in the room, they all had sad looks, some even had a tear or two.

“because harry, as long as my family was safe and alive, it was worth it” kagome ran her hand through her hair impatiently and softly puffed on her pipe. The smoke image shifted and resettled, drawing the quiet attention of everyone in the room.

“this was the day I killed naraku” kagome looked at the image of a younger her.

Kagome stood next to her mate on a cliff overlooking a field of thousands upon thousands of men. Behind her were her only two allies on this side of the war, they both had a slight quirk in their lips, they could taste it too...freedom was near.

“who are they?” someone in the room asked, kagome was too focused on the past to identify voices

“kagura the wind witch and kanna the void demon, unwilling slaves of naraku” kagome answered almost automatically

“there are so many soldiers…” mrs.weasly gasped in amazement.

“yes, they did take some time to kill” Kagome chuckled, mrs.weasly now gasped in horror. Taking a closer look at the smoky image, they could now see just what kind of state the men were in.

“there all dead…” moody's eye was now sat quite still.

“indeed, this was a war after all. Like most wars there were two opposing side, on this side..” kagome pointed to her self

“there was me, naraku, kagura, and kanna. And on the other side of things…” kagome let her hand sweep past the miles of dead men to land on a silver speck at the far end of the image.

“there was my friends, the ones that weren't dead already…kikyo, shippo, ginta, kirrara, sesshomaru, koga and jaken” kagome blew more smoke into the image to change it, it now zoomed in to show her old friends…what was left of them.

“it's her…” mr.weasly pointed to the miko clad kikyo.

“in the flesh…well sort of” kagome could stop herself from making that joke, she laughed much to the dismay of her mental partner.

“the miko kikyo, my incarnation and the light of my days” she snickered at herself, confusing the already confused audience.

“now lets fast-forward to the educational part of this war” kagome once again changed the picture. It cleared, showing it was well past sunset and that much had come to pass.

In the center of the bloodied field stood a worse for wear kagome and her ever present shadow, naraku. Standing not too far away was the proud demon lord, sesshomaru , also sporting a decent amount of injuries. The others were nowhere to be seen and were presumed dead or dying.

“kagome, I am sorry” sesshomaru grunted, lifting his sword one last time.

“I know” kagome also raised her swords

“do you forgive me?” his eyes begged hers to understand

“only if you forgive me first” her eyes were tired and the light had long since died

“are you ready for the end kagome?” sesshomaru stood his full impressive height, adjusting his stance for one last battle

“it will never be the end for me sesshomaru, we both know that” kagome ripped off her outer kimono, leaving her in blood soaked and torn pants and a dirtied breast band. Sesshomaru followed suit, shrugging out of his once elegant silk shirt.

“farewell…”

Kagome and sesshomaru charged, the sound of metal meeting metal filled the field, the smell of spilled blood filled their senses and taste of soon to be rain was in the air. Naraku laughed loud, he had won, the demon lord would not be able to kill kagome, he had won…he laughed.

This was the last one, the last time he would be able to raise his sword, the war had gone on for 3 straight days, 3 days of nonstop fighting…it was no wonder the humans died soon after the 2nd day. He wasn't sure if he would be able to make it out of this war alive, either way he was bringing kagome with him. He wouldn't have it any other way.

This was the last one, the last time she would be able to move, 3 days of endless fighting had taken its toll on the miko. How many had she killed today? The faces seemed to blur together, only a few stood out…those few would haunt her for the rest of her miserable life…miroku….sango….kaede...

“I'm so sorry”

Miko and demon charged…the laughing stopped…blood poured…life ended…and the rain started
