InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Harry Potter with Inuyasha and the Lost Kingdom ❯ The Christmas Ball ( Chapter 16 )

The Christmas Ball

 

“Well, it's the day we've all been waiting for” Sango said, “the ball!” “Okay, I get dibs on hair” Aease said. “Fine then, I'm doing the eyes” Lyra said. “I get the nails” Jhanie said. “I'll do the face” Hermione said. “I'll do the lips” Kagome said. “And I'll just go around taking pictures” Sango said as she held up her digital camera. “Well then, let's get started!” Aease said as Sango snapped a picture.

Meanwhile in the boys' dormitory: “Nice robes Ron,” Harry said. “Yeah, they're much better last year” Fred smirked. “Yeah,” Ron said, “they're a little less traditional than last year don't you think?” “What are you guys talking about?” asked InuYasha. “Oh well last year we had something called a Yule Ball and Ron had the most hideous dress robes ever” George explained. “Oh and remember when Professor McGonagall was teaching us how to ballroom dance and you had to dance with her?” Harry asked laughing. “I wouldn't be laughing Harry, you probably will have to ballroom dance with Jhanie, and I can tell she's way more experienced then you” Ron said. “OoOoOoO… Harry, you gonna take that?” asked Fred. “Hey, it's better than dancing with Professor McGonagall as the first girl you've ever danced with.” Harry said. They all started laughing except for Ron.

“Lyra! Hold still!” Aease said. “Suck it in!” Jhanie said. Aease was trying to zip up Lyra's dress. It was red and gold, the Gryffindor colors. The dress was red with a spiral of gold going around the dress. It was tube dress that went up to her ankles.

Lyra took one huge breath in and Aease zipped up the dress. Lyra breathed out, “thank god” she said. “Oh yeah, thank god but don't thank me” Aease muttered. “Thanks Aease,” Lyra said. Jhanie picked up her dress and looked at it up and down. “What part do my legs come out and which end does my head come out?” Jhanie asked. “Ha ha, very funny” Sango said as she snapped a picture of Jhanie holding up her dress and looking at it as if she was looking at her Astronomy homework. “No, I'm serious” Jhanie said. “Oh come on” Hermione said. “First of all, you're holding the dress upside down” she said turning the dress. “There you go. Your head comes out here” Hermione said pointing at the top, “and your legs come out down here”, she pointed at the bottom. “Okay,” Jhanie shrugged as she went to the bathroom to put her dress on.

“I don't know why she's so confused. It's really easy” Hermione said. “I still think I should have gone for the jeans and the T-shirt” Jhanie called from the bathroom. Finally, after what seemed like an hour, Jhanie came out of the bathroom. “Hey can someone help me with the zipper?” she asked. They all turned around. The dress was sleeveless and a little low, it was knee length, baby blue (Jhanie's favorite color), and with traces of silver in random places. “Whoa, you look amazing” Aease said. “Harry is so gonna fall in love with you even more when he sees you in this dress” Hermione said. “Is that even possible?” asked Lyra. Jhanie narrowed her eyes at Lyra who stuck her tongue out in return. Aease zippered Jhanie without any problems and went back to setting up the place where she was going to do everyone's hair.

“I don't get it” said Jhanie, “Aease, how do you change so quickly?” “Simple,” Aease replied, “I'm not wearing a dress.” “Hmmm… I guess you're right” Jhanie agreed. Aease wasn't the type to wear dresses, even to a ball. Although she did decide to wear something a little fancy. She had knee-length black skirt that looked like she was floating when she walked in it. She wore a dark purple top the had lots of glitter randomly spread out. “Yep, that's `cause we don't need to get all dressed up to get our guys” Sango said. Sango was wearing black velvet pants and a red tube top. “I wouldn't be surprised if they left you soon” said Jhanie who was putting on silver bangles and diamond earrings. “You'd be surprised if you saw the stuff I see” she added acting serious. Sango and Aeases' faces became serious. “You don't mean that do you?” asked Sango worriedly. Jhanie just smiled mysteriously and knocked on the bathroom door. “Hey Kags, you okay in there?” she called. “Yeah, I'm fine, I'm coming out” Kags said. A couple of minutes later Kagome came out. She was wearing an olive green dress with spaghetti straps that went down to her ankles. “You look, ah-mazing!” Jhanie said. “Thanks” Kagome said quietly. “What's wrong?” asked Hermione. “It's just that I don't know George that well. And well, what if after tonight, he doesn't like me?” Kags asked anxiously. “Don't worry, when George looks at you his eyes get all big and googly” Jhanie assured. “It's kind of scary actually.” Kags laughed, “yeah, I guess you're right” she said. “Of course I am” Jhanie replied.

“Okay, who's first to get the hair done?” asked Aease. “Me!!!!” screamed Hermione as she ran over the where Aease was. “Relax Hermione, don't rip your dress just by running over here to get your hair done” Aease said. “Sorry” Hermione said. Hermione was wearing a peach dress that had ruffles as sleeves and went down to her ankles. She sat down and Aease started on her hair. “While Aease is doing the hair, does anyone want their nails done?” asked Jhanie. “Sure” Lyra said. “Okay,” Jhanie said while she put Lyra's hands to soak in the warm water. “What color do you want and what designs do you want me to do?” “Umm… I want red nail polish, with gold tips.” Lyra replied. “And what shape do you want your nails to be?” Jhanie asked. “Square” Lyra said. “I see you're taking the red and gold theme to an extreme” Jhanie said. Lyra grinned, “you bet.”

By the time Aease was finished with Hermione's hair, Jhanie had finished filing, scrubbing, and putting on Lyra's nail polish. They decided to switch, Hermione chose to wear light pink nail polish to match her dress. Hermione was one of Aease's best work. Her hair was tied in bun and there was a ringlet of curls on each side of her face hanging in front of it. She looked amazing. Finally everyone was finished with their nails and there hair except for Jhanie and Aease. They hadn't been able to do anything. “Here,” Aease said, “I'll do your nails and then your hair so your nails can dry. Then you can do my nails and my hair.” “Okay,” said Jhanie, she was way too tired to do her own nails.

“What color and design do you want?” Aease asked. “French manicure, square shaped nails. I'll save you from asking the questions” Jhanie replied. Aease smiled, once she was done with Jhanie's nails, she was completely satisfied. “Alright, let's do your hair” Aease said. “What am I gonna do with all this?” she muttered to herself. “Having trouble?” teased Jhanie. “Got it!” Aease suddenly screamed. Fifteen minutes later Aease was done. “Go look” she said, obviously pleased with her work. “Later” Jhanie said. “Now we do your nails and hair.” “Do I need to ask the colors you want?” Jhanie asked. Aease grinned, “nope”. By the time Jhanie was done with Aease's hair everyone else was done with their make up and everything else. Sango was still going around taking pictures, which was getting kind of irritating now.

“Hey, now I know you guys wanna do my make up” Jhanie said. “Okay, you did do a great job on our nails, so I guess we could do your make up” Kags said. “Oh, and I get nothing for doing your amazing hair?” Aease pouted. “We'll do you next” Lyra said. “Fine,” Aease said.

In the boys' dormitory: “What time does the ball start?” asked George. “In thirty minutes” replied Sesshomaru. “You guys ready?” asked InuYasha. “Almost” Harry said. “Accio” he said. A corsage floated into his hand. “You got her a corsage?” asked Ron in amazement. “Yep” replied Harry. “How come you didn't tell me that?” asked Ron. “Hey, you've gotta find your own way to charm Hermione” Harry said. “Oh well thanks, some friend” Ron grimaced. “Don't feel bad Ron, it's not our fault that Harry is totally whipped” Fred teased. “You didn't get anything for Angelina, did you?” InuYasha smirked. Fred opened his mouth “… no” he finally said. They all started laughing.

Back with the girls: “Ow! Lyra!!! Stop poking me in the eye with that thing!” yelled Jhanie. “I'm glad I have Kags and Sango helping me here, it sounds like you've got a lot of pain going on over there” Aease said laughing. “Well beauty equals pain” Hermione said. “True” Lyra said, “now hold still.” Lyra finally got the eyeliner on Jhanie when someone knocked on the door. “Who could that be?” asked Kags. “Gee, I wonder, it's the guys duh!” Sango said. All the girls turned to Sango and stared. “What? It's a quarter to six” she said. There was a big rush as a all the girls ran to get their shoes on and put the final touches. Sango was enjoying this and took many pictures of all the girls freaking out.

“What are you doing in there?” asked George knocking again. “Its sounds like you've got a stampede of wild animals in there” Ron said. After about ten minutes Aease opened the door. “Yeah sorry about that,” she said “we kinda lost track of time.” “That's okay,” InuYasha said as he moved toward Aease and put an arm around her. The rest of the girls were watching behind Aease. Lyra nudged Jhanie who bit her lip to stop herself from going into a laughing fit. “Hey Kagome, you look awesome” George said. Awesome? Thought Kagome, is that all he can say? Sango walked over to Miroku and he put his arm around her. Lyra stepped out and Sesshy's jaw dropped. “Close your mouth man” InuYasha said. Sesshy closed his mouth and said, “You look… oh screw the words, they can't even describe how you look.” Lyra giggled and Jhanie rolled her eyes, it was so gross watching her brothers act this way with her best friends. Hermione stepped out of the room and Ron just stared, “What?” asked Hermione. “Stop drooling fool” Harry said to Ron. “You look… and that dress is just… and your hair is so…” Ron couldn't think of anything to say, he was completely tongue tied. “Awww isn't that cute, Ron's tongue tied” Jhanie said as she stepped out. “Hey Jhanie -” Harry started. He looked at Jhanie and started sweating, which was kind of gross. “You look…” Harry said trying to find the right words, “beautiful” he finally said. “Beautiful, why didn't I think of that?” Ron muttered. “Thanks” Jhanie said, “you look pretty handsome yourself.” Harry was wearing black dress robes with a blue bow and had a bag in his hand. “I got you something,” Harry continued. He pulled out a plastic box from the bag and opened it. “You got me a corsage!” Jhanie said surprised, she did not see this one coming. Lyra and Aease were grinning as Harry put the corsage on Jhanie's left wrist.

“Hey Fred, where's Angelina?” asked Kags. “Oh, she's gonna meet us there” Fred replied. “Should we go?” asked Ron holding out his arm for Hermione to take. “Let's go” she said as she took Ron's arm. Aease and Lyra caught up with Jhanie, “OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO…” Lyra said, “First a corsage, what's next an engagement ring?” asked Aease. “Very funny you guys” Jhanie replied. “You know, out of all the guys I have to say, you got the one with the best charm” Lyra said. “Shhh” Aease said, “Don't want Sesshy to over here you.” “He won't care” Lyra assured. “Trust me, he will” Jhanie said.

At the ball Parvati Patil and her sister Padma were talking “I wonder who Hermione's going with” Padma said to Parvati. “I think she's going Harry” Parvati said. “No, I think he's going with Cho Chang” Padma said. “Then who?” asked Parvati. “Whoever it is, you can bet he plays Quidditch” Padma said, they went of giggling in the corner.

The group entered as “Every Time We Touch” by Cascada came on. “Oh my god I love this song!” Sango said. “Same!” Jhanie said. “So, what are we going to do first?” asked Aease. “I don't know, what do you want to do?” asked InuYasha. Aease was about to say dance but knowing InuYasha that was probably not going to happen anytime soon so instead she said “let's get some punch.”Lyra and Jhanie joined her, Sango, Miroku, Kags, George, Hermione, and Ron decided to dance and Fred just wandered helplessly for Angelina wondering if he got stood up.

“Look at Sango and Miroku” Aease said watching the couple dance. “Do you think they'll ever break up?” asked Lyra. “Not for good” Jhanie replied. They all knew Sango and Miroku since they were ten. Even then it was obvious they liked each other. Three years later they finally got together.

“Looks like they're having fun over there” Aease said staring at Ron and Hermione. “We can go you know” Jhanie said. “What are we going to do about your brothers?” asked Lyra. “You don't have drag them on to the dance floor with you” Jhanie replied. It was freaky enough to see her brothers with her friends. But seeing them dance? That was beyond awkward.

“Hey guys,” Jhanie said. “We're gonna go join Sango and Miroku. Wanna come?” “Uh, no thanks. We'll just stay here” Sesshomaru said. “Harry?” Jhanie asked. “I'll join you guys later” Harry replied.

The three of them walked onto the dance floor as “Fergalicious” blasted through the speakers. “I love this song!” Jhanie and Aease both exclaimed. “Lyra stared at them mortified. “How can you like this song?” she asked. “We just do” Aease replied. They started dancing as Sango and Miroku joined them.

“All right, we're gonna slow it down now” the D.J. said. Everyone except for InuYasha and Sesshomaru were relieved that they were going to slow it down a bit. They were all way too tired from dancing.

The D.J. played the song “She Will Be Loved”. Sango, Miroku, George, Kags, Hermione, Ron, Harry and Jhanie were already dancing. Aease was demanding that InuYasha dance at least once tonight. InuYasha figured that there was no way out of this one so he agreed.

“Please Sesshy?” Lyra begged. “This Sesshomaru does not dance” Sesshy replied. “Sesshomaru, you're my date to this ball. You are going to have to dance with me at least once” Lyra replied. Sesshomaru was taken aback. First of all, Lyra had never called him by his full name before. Second of all she had never been so controlling. Which made Sesshomaru like her even more. “One dance” he agreed. Lyra dragged him onto the dance floor.

“Ow! InuYasha! Stop stepping on my feet!” Aease said. Sesshy grinned, “Having trouble little bro?” “You're not doing so well yourself” Lyra teased. InuYasha laughed, “Ha! See, it's not only me.” “No, it's just the both of you. Now shut up and stop arguing over who's better at slow dancing” Jhanie snapped. Little did anyone know that two people were missing from the dance floor.

Ron and Hermione were outside walking on the school grounds. It was dark and was getting chilly. “Hey Ron” Hermione suddenly said. “Yeah?” he asked. “Why did you ask me to the dance?” she asked. “Ere… I don't know” Ron replied. Hermione came to a stop, and then turned around. “What do you mean you don't know?” she demanding. “I guess its `cause, you're the only one I could think of” Ron replied. Hermione punched him in the arm, hard. “Ow! What was that for?” Ron asked rubbing his arm. “You mean because I was the only one who you thought was easy enough!” Hermione said angrily. “No! That's not it” Ron said. “Oh sure Ron. Let me guess, you suddenly decided you like me. That you've actually felt something after all this time” Hermione said laughing. “You want the truth?” asked Ron. “Yes” Hermione said as she looked up. Maybe she was wrong after all, maybe Ron really did like her, she thought. Wrong. “Well… actually” Ron hesitated, trying to make up his mind whether to tell her the truth. “Harry and I, well we kind of made a pact that if… if… if I asked you to the ball… he'd ask Jhanie.” Bad move Ron, NEVER tell a girl that. Hermione punched him in the shoulder harder, trying to resist going for his jaw. Ron flinched; he knew he deserved the punch. “I can't believe I didn't see this coming sooner. I should have known that you never really liked me. The only reason you asked me because you desperately needed a date and you probably thought I was desperate too! Well, guess what Ron Weasley, I'm not desperate! I could have gotten anyone I wanted to!”

“Hermione, you really are missing the point of why we did this.”

“What point?” she asked, “to hurt two innocent girls? To think just because they might like you, you could go all player on them? To make a pact that if one of them didn't ask the girl then the other one wouldn't or dump the other girl?” Hermione had tears rolling down her cheeks.

She turned on her heel and started to walk away. Before she could get more than a few feet something grabbed a hold of her wrist on her right hand. “Let me go Ron!” she said. But he didn't let go, instead, he pulled her closer towards him. He grabbed her other wrist. “Ron! Let me go!” Hermione screamed struggling to break free of Ron. But Ron just tightened his grip. “Hermione!” he said angrily. “Do you honestly think that all those things that you said are true? I know you're not desperate Hermione. That's why I asked you so soon. Honestly, why do you think I was so pissed off last year with you and Krum? Its because I was jealous Hermione, really jealous, which was why I was acting like such an asshole” Ron said. Bloody Hell! Ron thought, there he was behind a tree out on the Hogwarts' grounds at night spilling all his feelings he'd spent years building up. He was NOT going to let himself get crushed by Hermione. “Please, Ron” Hermione pleaded, “just please, let me go.” “No Hermione! What's going to happen if I let you go? You'll probably go back with Krum! I'm not letting that happen! I couldn't bear it!” Ron said, spilling all his feelings out. He came down to a whisper, “I'm not letting you go Hermione, never again.” He loosened his grip and pulled her closed. Hermione didn't have anymore energy to fight back. She let Ron pull her into his arms, and she suddenly felt weak. Ron let go of Hermione's wrists and tucked a strand of her hair behind her cheek. He looked deep into her eyes, lowered his head, his hand still rested light on her head, and kissed her gently on the lips. Once they pulled away from each other Ron took a hold of Hermione's hand. “Let's have the last dance” Ron said. They walked back to the Great Hall in silence. “Ron” Hermione said before they entered. “Yes?” he asked. “If you were so jealous of me and Krum, why didn't you tell me then?” she asked trying to sound like she wasn't accusing Ron of not liking her. Ron smiled sheepishly, “Well, I had convinced myself that… if I really did love you… than I would only want you to be happy… with whomever you were most happy with.” Ron put his arm around Hermione as they entered the Great Hall. Holy crap, did Ron just say he loved me? Hermione wondered, Ron is obsessed. She looked up at Ron who was searching for Harry and smiled, and I am too, she admitted to herself. She wanted to tell Ron that he was the person whom she was most happy with. But she didn't because Harry came running towards them, and this was something she didn't want to say in front of everyone, especially Harry.

“Where were you guys?” he asked. “We've been looking all over for you.” “Hey guys” Jhanie said as she approached them with Lyra. “Where were you?” she asked slowly noticing how furiously Hermione was blushing. “Where's Aease?” asked Hermione. “I don't know, probably somewhere in a corner making out with InuYasha” Jhanie said in disgust. “At least it's not open to the public today” Lyra mumbled to Jhanie, they broke into a fit of giggles. “Ron? Mind if we borrow Hermione for a while?” Jhanie asked. “Sure, mind if I take Harry?” asked Ron. “Go ahead,” Jhanie said.

“Okay, so what happened?” asked Jhanie. They were by the punch bowl with Lyra. “What do you mean what happened?” asked Hermione. “I know that look, and that look only comes when…” Jhanie gasped. “What?” asked Hermione and Lyra together. “He kissed you didn't he?!” Jhanie asked jumping up and down. “He totally did!” Lyra said. They were both staring at Hermione waiting for her to answer. “It amazes me how right you are” Hermione said in defeat. “Tell us exactly what happened” Lyra demanded. Hermione went into complete detail about what had happened outside behind the tree. Lyra and Jhanie occasionally interrupted with OoOoOoOoOoOs and Ahhhs and gasps. But other than that Hermione kept talking non-stop. “Hold on, so this was all some kind of dare?” Jhanie asked angrily. “Uh oh,” Lyra said. “Jhanie, Harry's my best friend and I know him really well and he wouldn't have agreed to the pact if he didn't actually like you” Hermione assured. “And plus he got you that amazing corsage” Lyra added pointing the fresh flowers that Jhanie wore on her left wrist. “Hmm… it looks expensive” Hermione said inspecting it. Jhanie laughed, “I guess you're right.” “Of course I am” Hermione said. “Now, what I'm confused about is if Ron really does love me.” “What exactly did he say again?” asked Lyra. “First I asked him that if he was so jealous of me and Krum why he didn't tell me. Then he said that he convinced himself that if he really loved me he would want me to be happy with who ever I wanted.” Hermione said. “Girl, love doesn't get anymore real than that” Jhanie said. “What do you mean?” Lyra asked before Hermione could reply. “He's putting your feelings and needs before his. It doesn't get any truer than that” Jhanie explained. “But what if he doesn't really mean what he said?” Hermione asked worriedly. “Guys can't come up with something like that unless they actually feel it” Jhanie explained. “Wow, he is crazy about you” Lyra said.

Meanwhile with Harry and Ron: “Okay where were you? You've been gone for half an hour! And would you wipe that stupid grin off your face you idiot! You look like someone just stuck novocain in your face!” Harry said. “Calm down mate” Ron said, “What's wrong with you.” “My-” Harry started. “Wait, no, I need to tell you something really important.” “But-” Harry tried, “Harry, as a friend, you need to know this” Ron said. “Okay fine” Harry said as he took a sip of punch. “I'm in love with Hermione!” Ron practically yelled. Harry choked on his drink on spat some of it out. “You okay there mate?” Ron asked as he tapped Harry's back. “I'm sorry; did you just say you're in love with Hermione?” Harry asked astonished. “Yes!” Ron said excitedly. “And I'm sure of it. And don't try to talk me out of it cause I've already told her.” “Ron, that's great and I'm really happy for you. But my scar is really hurting” Harry said. “What? Your scar is hurting? Why didn't you tell me that before?” Ron said. “I was trying to you idiot” Harry said as he smacked Ron across the head. “Ouch!” Ron said. Just then Jhanie ran over to Harry. “Harry,” she said urgently, “my jewel, its glowing bright red!” “Your jewel?” asked Harry confused. “I never told you about it?” asked Jhanie. “No” Harry replied, “Okay, well I'll give you all the details later. When my parents died all I could find was this jewel” she explained as she opened her locket to reveal a glowing red jewel. Ron reached out to touch it and quickly pulled his hand away, “Ouch!” he said. “It's hot!” “I've kept it with me ever since, it works kind of like your scar. When danger is near it glows” Jhanie said. “How's your scar?” Jhanie asked. “She knows about the scar?” Ron asked in amazement. “Yeah, one of the benefits of having a clairvoyant girlfriend” Harry replied. Girlfriend. Jhanie thought, I could get used to this. “Come on” Harry said. “We've got to get to Dumbledore and tell him what's happening.” “Shouldn't we go back to the common room and get our wands?” asked Jhanie. “Right” Harry said. “What can I do?” asked Ron hoping to get in on the action. “Get everyone together, get them to cover what you guys think are the most wanted and dangerous places in the school” Harry said. “What exactly are we protecting the school against?” asked Ron who sounded slightly nervous. “You know who” Harry said. “Talk to Lyra, Aease, or one of my brothers and they'll fill you in on what else you might be encountering” Jhanie said. “Okay” Ron said sounding very nervous.

Jhanie and Harry ran towards the exit of the Great Hall when Malfoy came in the way. “Jhanie” he said, “leaving so soon?” “Uh, yeah I'm not feeling too well” Jhanie replied. “How about one dance before you leave?” he asked. “No, I really should go” Jhanie said. “Come on” Malfoy insisted. “MALFOY! SHE DOES NOT WANT -” Harry started. “You stay out of this Potter!” Malfoy said. Jhanie looked at Harry, “Sorry” she said sadly. Harry was both confused and annoyed; would she really pick Malfoy over him? He thought. Jhanie went up to Malfoy, “FUCK” she kicked him in his right leg, “OFF” she said as she kicked him in the left leg. “MALFOY!” she yelled as she kicked him in the place that really hurts. “Come on” she said to Harry, “Let's go.” “Jhanie, that was amazing!” Harry said still surprised. “Thanks” Jhanie said, “Again sorry.” “For what?” asked Harry, “you've lost your only ally” Jhanie replied. “Its okay,” Harry said, “I was getting really annoyed watching him flirt with you anyway. Sooner or later I would have done something along those lines.” “Except with magic?” Jhanie asked reading Harry's mind. “Yeah” Harry replied. They reached the common room, “get your wand, fast” Harry instructed. They ran up to their dormitories, got their wands, and met again in the common room.

“My jewel has never glowed this much, well except for-” Jhanie was cut off by the sound of glass shattering. “Holy shit! What was that?” yelled Harry. He was thrown off his feet and scrambled around the floor to find his glasses. Mental Note: Get Harry contacts for Christmas.

All Harry heard was, “this is disturbing beyond reason.” “Jhanie, what's wrong?” Harry asked, “I can't find my glasses.” He felt something being put on his head. “That's better” Harry said. “Voldemort” Harry smiled warmly as if greeting him as an old friend. He looked at the girl standing on Voldemort's right who somehow resembled Kagome. “Kikyo” Jhanie said darkly. “Awwww, what's wrong Jhanie?” asked Kikyo. “Not happy to see me?” “Who would be?” Jhanie muttered. Kikyo slashed Jhanie across the face.

“Stop” Voldemort said. “And you must be Voldemort?” Jhanie asked. “Yes, I see you've heard of me” he said with a smirk. “What do you want?” Harry asked. “Let's see. There's something somewhere in the school that I plan on getting. Although, I think Kikyo here has some other plans to attend to” Voldemort said. “What do you want?” demanded Jhanie. “Well, of course to help Voldie here get what he wants. But also to take revenge on your brother” Kikyo replied. “Voldie?” Harry and Jhanie said together. Kikyo and Voldemort didn't respond.

“What do you want with InuYasha?” Jhanie asked. “I want my revenge” Kikyo said simply. “What revenge?” Jhanie asked through gritted teeth. “If anyone should be getting revenge it should be him. You pretended to be his friend and then went off with Naraku and betrayed him.”

“I did it because I love him” replied Kikyo. “You say betrayed him and you claim you love him!” Jhanie yelled. Both Harry and Voldemort were silent now. “I told you. I betrayed because I love him” Kikyo replied. “You almost killed him bitch!” Jhanie screamed.

Kikyo lashed out at Jhanie who quickly blocked it. “You can forget about your revenge on my brother. Even if you did love him, Aease is never going to give him up” Jhanie said. “Aease? Hmmm… the cheery one's cousin am I right? Ha!” Kikyo snorted. “You really think he's going to give me up for your little, younger, friend?”

“He already did” Jhanie replied. “Voldie, do that spell. The Abracadabra thing” Kikyo said. “I will not be ordered around. But since you've asked so nicely” Voldemort raised his wand. “No!” Harry screamed. “Avada Kadavra!” Voldemort shouted. Harry jumped in front of Jhanie. A blue force field formed around them. Just them Dumbledore stormed in. Kikyo and Voldemort disappeared.

“Are you alright?” he asked Jhanie and Harry. “I'm okay” Harry replied. Jhanie was lying unconsciously on the floor. Harry walked over to her and checked her pulse. “Is she alive?” Dumbledore asked worriedly. “Yes, she's just unconscious” Harry replied. Silence followed until Ron, Hermione, InuYasha, Aease, Lyra, Miroku, Sango, George, Fred, Angelina, Kags, and Sesshomaru came in. “What did you do to her?” InuYasha yelled at Harry. “I didn't do anything” Harry replied quietly. He could see why InuYasha was upset. Jhanie was his only and baby sister. “InuYasha” Aease gently said trying to hold him back.

“Harry,” Sesshomaru said. “What happened?” he asked staring straight at Jhanie. As usual, he showed no emotion. Harry explained how they ran up to get their wands, encountered Kikyo and Voldemort, and how Jhanie put the force field up. “The force field,” Aease whispered. “Is there something wrong with it?” asked Ron. “No,” Sango replied. “The force field that Jhanie used is the most powerful force field that a demon can have. It is the only force field that can keep out magic. Jhanie is the only one among us who has that kind of a force field. It could have drained all her stamina. She could have died.”

“Wouldn't being a witch have some sort of affect?” George asked. “I guess it does” Kags said. “But she's not dead is she?” Fred asked. “No, just unconscious” Dumbledore replied. “She's going to be okay right?” asked Lyra. “Of course she is. All we have to do is take her to Madame Pomfrey and she'll be fine in a week” Dumbledore assured. “I'll carry her down” Sesshomaru said. “I'll go with you” InuYasha replied. “We'll go too” Aease said. “No” InuYasha said sharply. It was late, he was tired, and his sister was unconscious. He didn't want anymore problems. InuYasha walked with Sesshomaru who was carrying Jhanie down to Madame Pomfrey. Harry walked with them and Dumbledore trying to keep a safe distance between him and InuYasha. Something told him until Jhanie got better they wouldn't be on such good terms.
