Kagome's pov

 

I waited until I heard the Order members chanting before I charged at Naraku. Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Koga followed me while Rin, Kikyo, and Kagura prepared to set up the barrier to prevent others from falling in. It was a full out assault, sword attack after sword attack, arrow after arrow followed by screams from all who fought against the demon. Naraku was taunting us, stating he would win. I could hear the same from Voldemort toward Harry.

 

Shaking my head I knew I had to focus. As I started my `Star of light', Sesshomaru followed my example with a `dragon strike' and Inuyasha did another `wind scar'. Though it didn't do much, I knew we couldn't stop attacking. I could hear cries from Death Eaters and Order members as they were hit or yelled in triumph as they killed the competition away. I turned my head toward Naraku as a blast of energy flew out from all directions, throwing us backwards at least ten feet. Crouched on one knee I knew we had to do something or he would win. Quickly as I could I started to do my `shards of blade' when I was hit from the side.

 

I turned to see Lucius Malfoy standing five feet away, wand pointed at me. I knew if I moved I was dead. From the corner of my eye, I could see that Kagura saw me and was on the way to help.

 

“Years of planning will not be wasted because of you. Draco will follow his lord, and he will take my place when the time is right. The dark will win.” I scoffed as I shook my head. The Death Eater stared at me as if I was nothing more that a bug in his precious house.

 

“Why is it that everyone thinks the dark is better, in the dark you can't see the ones you love…and you can't see what's in front of you.” Lucius turned only to have his head cut of by Kagura. I nodded my thanks as the portal started to open. I ran to my spot in front of Naraku as Sesshomaru was on the left, Inuyasha on the right, and Koga behind. We only had one shot.

 

As the portal opened, we all sensed that dreadful feeling like last time, but unlike last time we were ready. As the barrier went up I could feel all eyes, enemy and friend, were on us to see our plan.

 

“This is the end Naraku.”

 

“You will suffer for all those you've killed.”

 

“No more will you be allowed to run free and terrorize people as you wish.”

 

“And now we end this in Hell!” I yelled as the portal opened even farther. Inuyasha shot of an `Adamant Barrage' to hold Naraku down as Koga shoved one of the crystal spikes deep into Naraku's chest. Sesshomaru shot of another `dragon strike' which only hit the adamant crystals charging them making it harder for Naraku to get out. While they were doing this, I was preparing for another `miko energy' but this time I was using all of the energy I could get, even the energy form the sacred souls.

 

As I charged myself with the energy I started to glow a bright pink, which clashed with the blue color for the sacred souls. I had closed my eyes to focus completely on charging the energy. I cold hear Naraku complaining about not being able to move and how we couldn't be so much stronger than he remembered. As I reached the peak of my energy I released it all toward Naraku, not bothering to wonder if Koga got out of the way. As my energy crashed into Naraku, the portal beneath us opened completely and latched onto the strongest energy source, me and Naraku himself. The cries and screams of thousands of demons was heard as the bustard was purified, leaving only a shell of what was left.

 

As the energy started to fade, I heard Rin and Kikyo chanting to close the portal as another yell was heard across the distance as I let the darkness great me with open arms.

 

Draco's pov

 

I couldn't believe it. She cut off the connection. I looked at Harry, but the Gryffindor only had eyes for Voldemort who in turn was watching him. It was as if someone had shot off a muggle gun, when everyone rushed onto the battle field to fight regardless of the agreement. I decided to help clear the field for Harry, as I had to believe Kagome would be okay with her old friends.

 

I started taking out Death Eaters left and right, not caring if it was a light or dark spell I was using. The only thing I cared about was if Harry could defeat Voldemort. I tried not to wonder what the order members were doing, the ones that seemed to be chanting, but that the seemed to need protection. People seemed to fall left and right, had Kagome seen this before in the past? Shaking that thought I felt a great deal of energy swell inside of me, as if I had the power to do anything, where was this energy coming form?

 

A pink light attacked my vision as Kagome started to literally life off the ground. As Naraku was dragged into the ground I saw Kagome start to fall into the strange portal that opened on the ground. I yelled her name as I ran to her but couldn't get past the barrier. I suddenly felt so angry at those who tried to kill Kagome and Harry that I lashed out at any Death Eater I could get near. A ringing sound started to fill my ears as I attacked Death Eater after Death Eater not caring if I was killed. Why did I feel like this? Where did all this anger come from? Why was I so hurt by the sight of Kagome passing out, I knew she was fine but why?

 

As I reached those of the inner circle, I battled my aunt Bellatrix I felt more anger flood though me. She tried to kill my mate's godfather. I knew she was taunting me, calling me widdle Draco but I couldn't hear it. Only the ringing that was getting louder by each spell I used.

 

Soon my uncles joined the battle and it was three on one but I still seemed to over power them. With power and strength I didn't know I possessed, I attacked both of my uncles at the same time, killing them both. My aunt screamed and started to take the battle more seriously but I didn't care. Spell after spell flew by me, some hitting some not, as I returned them back.

 

Before I knew it she was dead, and someone had grabbed me, pinning my arms at my side. I screamed, yelling and kicking at who held me from hurting those who hurt my mates. I didn't care what happened but the anger kept rising in me. And then all at once it was gone, and I felt so tired, more so than I ever have before. I felt as if I could sleep and never wake again. I could hear a woman's voice telling me to sleep, that everything would be okay. I felt a surge of power as I finally let sleep over come in a strangers arms.

 

Harry's pov

 

Spell after spell was thrown at me by Voldemort. He taunted me about Kagome and Draco, those he killed, that I would join my parents. I still didn't know how I would beat him. He was stronger, he knew more spells, he was better than me and yet despite that I still fought my hardest to win. Hermione, Ron, the Weasley family, Shippo, everyone was depending on me. Kagome and Draco knew that their futures were in my hands now.

 

I saw Draco unleash a surge of anger upon Death Eaters as he made his way toward me. I tried to think but the battle cries around me made it hard. Suddenly I was thrown down onto the ground. Voldemort laughed as he stated that this would be the final blow and the last of the Potter line would die with me. In thinking of my parents I knew what I needed to do. I thought of the sacrifice my parents made so I could live, of how Ron and Hermione would always stay by my side no matter how dangerous our adventures got, how the Weasley family seemed to adopt me into their family and lives for no reason other than I was like a brother and son, how Sirius loved me despite being apart for so long, how Shippo looked to me like a father, how Draco and Kagome loved me for who I was. It was like a huge flood of power came from these thoughts of my family and friends.

 

I thought of the happy times, of the sad times, times of fighting, and times of forgiveness, times of when we joked with the other Gryffindors, and times we helped the Slytherins. Standing up, I pointed my wand at Voldemort with a smile on my face. I now knew what Kagome meant. The power was in me, but it wasn't just love, but forgiveness. I needed to forgive those who wronged others.

 

Voldemort shot another killing curse at me but this time I didn't move, and the curse vanished before it even got near me. Shock ran through Voldemort as he tried again with no luck. I could feel this burning feeling through me and I knew it was Draco. I sent a wave of love toward him and soon felt him pass out from a magical overload. A white shield seemed to build around the tip of my wand as I stared at Voldemort. I gave a small smile and whispered something that only he could hear as the white shield charged at him. As soon as all the power left me, I slowly fell toward the ground, only staying conscious long enough to make sure he was gone.

 

“I forgive you Tom.”

 

As I opened my eyes I knew I wasn't on the battlefield or in the hospital wing. I was in some sort of white room with a couch and several chairs. That's when I noticed my parents, along with a few people I didn't know, and a young Tom Riddle. He motioned for me to spend time with them before we talked. I nodded my head and gave my mother a big hug.

 

“Oh my sweet little Harry, I'm so proud of you.” She held me at arms length. “Never think for one second we don't love you or that we've never watched over you.” She hugged me again before letting my dad have a go at me.

 

“I'm proud of you son, you were so brave for what you did.” I held them both as I cried. Dad then introduced the others as my grand parents from both sides. My mother's parents apologized several times for what my aunt did to me, but I didn't care. We talked about when I grew up, the friends I made and who I was with. We talked about my classes, and for the first time in my life, I felt as if I had had my family with me my entire life. Dad kept commenting on Draco. “I may not like the fact that he's a Malfoy, but I know you care for him deeply.”

 

Soon though, Tom came over and our happy moment was cut short. “Harry I know you have questions so I will answer them best I can. You were able to kill me the way you did because in all my years, I've never know love. But love wasn't enough. As a child I was never taught to forgive those you hurt me, but only to extract revenge. You on the other hand, were taught to take anything that was thrown at you with a polite nod and a smile, or to walk away. You learned later on in life to forgive those who tormented you. Those two things together was something I can't understand for I was never shown.

 

“When you thought of your friends, your parents, and your mates, you showed that love was powerful on its own. But when you thought of when you forgave the Slytherins and how Kagome forgave Kikyo and Inuyasha for what happened, you showed compassion. Those two together were stronger than any spell I ever learned.”

 

I knew I was still confused on many accounts but I knew what he was talking about. As I went to question him, I felt my body become light and I felt a bit dizzy. “Your waking up sweetie, remember that we love you and will always be with you.” Mother said as she hugged my goodbye. I hugged them all with tears in my eyes, even Tom and thanked him for bringing me to Kagome. Soon I felt the room go away and I slipped into darkness.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

When Harry woke up he heard several gasps as two sets of arms embraced him. Opening his eyes he saw Hermione and Ron pulling back as Molly Weasley replaced them. His glasses were placed upon his face by Sirius, who smiled at Harry and told him they won. Harry turned his head toward the left to see Draco still asleep, Kagome toward the right.

 

“What happened?”

 

“Well after Kagome passed out, Draco went into a rage ad just started killing Death Eaters. Then he faced his own aunt and uncles, who he killed, before he passed out. Then this white shield appeared, attacked Voldemort, and you both seemed to pass out. But when Voldemort's body was checked, he appeared to have no pulse. You did it my boy.” Dumbledore told him.

 

Harry looked around the room, the Weasley's were there, as well as his extended family and Kagome's. Everyone was looking at him to explain what happened. Harry told them of the conversation he had with Tom Riddle and his family. As he neared the end he heard and felt Draco waking up beside him. Draco moved into Harry's bed as he got a play by play telling by Ron of what happened after he passed out.

 

“But why isn't Kagome up yet? I mean Harry and I are so…?” Draco asked looking at anyone for an answer.

 

“I can answer that.” Everyone looked toward Kagome's bed where a woman stood. She was dressed in an old warriors outfit that Harry was able to place from coming from Japan. She stood beside Kagome's bed lightly touching the young miko. “Midoriko” Harry looked Kikyo who had spoken before looking back at the woman. The woman looked down at Kagome before talking. “Kagome used the energy from the sacred souls along with her own and the boys. The reason Draco went into such a rage was because the left over power that channeled back into him was the rage of the souls. Harry on the other hand channeled the calmness that they would have possessed while in battle. Kagome also blocked the link between the three of you so if she died, you would not be dragged along.”

 

The old miko looked that Harry and Draco. “Right now, Kagome fights for a reason to wake up. But she cannot remember why she must fight. If you wish for her to live through the night, you must reconnect your souls together. By doing so you will awaken the reason within her.”

 

Harry looked at Draco who nodded. Both boys closed their eyes and focused on the link that bound the three of them together. Harry was the first to notice a little red cord and grasped onto it. Draco followed and together, they walked through the blackness of the void that held their precious lover. As they walked the red cord in their hand pulsed as if telling them to hurry.

 

The two wizards walked until they came upon what looked to be a walkway made out of stone, and there at the end was Kagome. Said miko was standing looked at something only she could see. Both boys ran up to her only to be blocked by a barrier. Draco started to pound on it and call out Kagome's name. Harry on the other hand just called out to Kagome.

 

`Kagome, please remember who we are, please remember all the times we've had with our friends. You promised us you would be safe.' Draco watched as Harry talked to Kagome through their minds. Kagome turned her head to the side before looking back. She smiled before turning toward the wizards and walking toward them. She passed right through the barrier and hugged both of them. `I missed you both.'

 

Harry opened his eyes first, he noticed that Midoriko was still standing beside Kagome as Draco walked over to Kagome's bed. They watched with worried eyes Kagome's breath suddenly went from calm and even to uneven. After a tense moment, her eyes opened. Several people cried in happiness as the young miko tried to sit up with Draco's help. Kagome looked at Midoriko before letting her eyes roam across the room from person to person. Finally she stopped at her two lovers.

 

“So, what'd I miss.”

 

Epilog

 

Kagome sighed as Draco wrapped his arms around her as the graduation ceremony ended. Kagome had watched her little brother as he walked across stage to gain his diploma. It had been a few years since the war ended and the three lovers had never been better. They had moved into Malfoy Manor, which now had a more lived in feel after Kagome allowed Kanna to live with them. Kanna had thanked them and after giving birth, moved on to be with her mate as most demons would. When Harry had asked about it, it was Rin who explained. “Some demons only take one mate their entire lives. If the male dies first and a demon, like Kanna, is pregnant than the instinct to simple die peacefully will be with held until such a time that they know their child is safe, then pass on. For Kanna, she knew Kagome would take care of her little girl.”

 

Kagome had cried for a while, the loss hit her harder than most, but then she took in little Kane, Kanna's little girl, and they raised her as their own. In addition, they also had twin boys two years later Seth and Jou, now four, and another little girl named Lilly now two.

 

Kagome stood up as Draco held Lilly in his arms while Sirius held Seth and Remus held Jou. Currently Kagome was five months pregnant with their fifth child, biologically their fourth, and loved every minute of it. Harry had accepted the job as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher when Remus had retired three years after they had graduated. Draco had followed his father footsteps and worked with the board of governors but was a lot more honest that Lucius was.

 

Kagome had become a stay at home mother, when she wasn't slaying demons that were in England. During the school year, the three and their children lived between their home and the school. The teachers loved their kids, all were well behaved and loved to learn. Sota wrapped his arms around Kagome as the two met. “I'm so proud of you.” The younger boy laughed as he accepted a hug from Draco before scoping up his little niece.

 

“And how is little Kane doing today?”

 

“Great uncle Sota, and Lilly flower is getting bigger everyday.” Sota laughed as he held Kane as the family waited for Harry to meet them. Albus was still teaching as headmaster of Hogwarts but his years were dwindling. Severus had told them, which Draco had confirmed, that next year the favored headmaster would retire. Kagome knew it was only time.

 

Kagome was pulled out of her thoughts as her uncle met up with them and headed toward the Entrance Hall. Kane was telling them about a prank Seth and Jou played on Draco. When Sota suggest playing one on Kagome, the twins replied that they would never play a trick on their mother. Kagome laughed at Sota pouted at the two which caused the others to laugh.

 

Kagome watched as her family, her two lovers and her children, as they laughed at something Jou said. Kagome thought back to the day she was standing at deaths door when Harry and Draco found her. Her father had shown up and apologized for what he had done. He was met by her grandfather who told her he was proud of her. Kagome smiled at them before turning and walking toward her future.

 

Kagome smiled at Lilly as the little girl motioned Draco to put her down. Kagome watched as her two year old walked as fast as she could toward her mother. Kagome leaned down to pick her up, making sure not to fall over. Kagome kissed Lilly on the check and walked toward her lovers. Life to her was perfect.
