Kagome looked up at the pyramids, amazed at the size of them. Kagome smiled at Shippo, who said, "I doubt Grandma will let us go to the top."

Fred and George walked to either side of the younger twins, who were growing as a human would, though no one could figure out why. Shippo stood the same height as Ron, while Kagome was a few inches shorter. Shippo and Kagome stayed closer to Fred and George, learning from them as they also learned from the demons. Kagome missed her demonic family that lived in the Forbidden Forest, but wrote to them every week, while they replied. Ron wrote to Harry and Hermione, telling them about their trip.

As they traveled through Egypt with Bill as their guide, Kagome held onto George's hand while Shippo held onto Fred's hand. Ginny stuck by her mother, while Percy walked beside Bill, constantly asking questions, and Ron walked with the two twins. Molly wouldn't allow any of them to enter the Pyramids, since there were some curses that hadn't been broken yet in a few of the tunnels.

Once the summer was coming to an end the Weasley family headed back to London, to stay in Diagon Alley the night before heading to King's Cross Station. Kagome and Shippo went with Fred and George while Hermione and Ron went looking for Harry. After walking for several hours Kagome and Shippo hid in the shadows long enough for them to transform to their true forms, though they were the sizes of kittens. The two then rode on the elder twins' shoulders; Kagome on George and Shippo on Fred.

Once they finished getting their items for their year at Hogwarts, every one met back at the Leaky Cauldron. Kagome mewed a hello to Harry as she lay contently on George's shoulder. Harry smiled softly as he replied his own hello. That night Kagome wandered around quietly, as the others were finishing their packing. Kagome stopped when she saw Scabbers, Ron's rat, creeping around. Scabbers ran into Ron and Percy's room, so Kagome sat in her true form in the dark, waiting patiently.

Kagome suddenly heard a loud yelp from Ron before Percy yelled, "Scabbers! No!" Kagome watched as Scabbers ran out of the room, the door just barely open. Scabbers ran with his tail wrapped around a small stick, which Kagome quickly realized was either Ron or Percy's wand. Kagome quickly ran after the old rat, easily catching up and following Scabbers. Soon every one was following Scabbers, though he kept dodging them.

Kagome barely saw Crookshanks ahead of them, ready to pounce, Kagome smiled as much as she could in her animal form. Kagome yowled at the large Ginger Cat to pounce ahead of Scabbers. Though he didn't look happy, the large cat obliged and jumped, landing a foot from Scabbers, making the rat skid to a stop. Kagome quickly grabbed the wand in her mouth seconds before Scabbers took off in the other direction. Kagome handed the wand to Percy before walking over to Crookshanks and sitting in front of the large cat, though he was smaller than Kagome's true form.

Kagome looked Crookshanks in the eyes as she yowled softly her thanks. Crookshanks mewed his replied before walking over to Hermione, who picked him up. Soon every one was in bed, except Kagome sat at the window since she had already slept that week.

The next day every one rushed to get their trunks into the cars so they could hurry to the train station. At the station every one was saying good-bye to their family and hello to their friends, while trying to make sure every thing was on the train. Kagome placed Mushin, her Eagle Owl on the train with Hedwig ~Harry's owl~, and Hermes ~Percy's Owl~. Shippo hadn't gotten an owl yet.

While Kagome was in a compartment with Shippo, Fred, George, and Lee, she suddenly started to feel a dark presence as the lights went out. Kagome looked at Shippo, who was turning whiter by the second, "Shippo…"

Shippo looked at Kagome, as the others looked to where they thought she was, "Ka-Go-Me…" Shippo started to shake in his seat across from his twin, both sitting beside the window. Fred and George shared the seat with Shippo while Lee sat with Kagome.

Kagome quickly realized what was happening to the both of them, growling out softly, "I'm tired of losing parts of my soul." She then quickly placed a Miko Barrier around their compartment, concentrating completely on her task of protecting her friends, 'please let the others be okay.' She barely heard others around her in other compartments asking 'what's going on?'

After holding the barrier for a long time on her own, from such a large number of beings, Kagome felt one of the presences heading toward them in the hall, but stopped several feet away from the holy barrier. Once the beings began to leave Kagome dropped the barrier and began to fall forward as she fainted from loss of energy, only to be caught by Lee.

Kagome slowly woke as she lay on the seat with her head on Shippo's lap, "what… What Happened?"

Shippo stroked Kagome's hair as she use to do when he was her kit, "you used up quite a bit of energy protecting us from that creature. It was still cold in here, but by what I hear, not nearly as bad as the other compartments. Oh, here…" Shippo placed a small piece of chocolate in his twin's mouth, "a Professor stopped in and told me to give you a piece when you woke and to stop in his shared compartment to speak with him, he's at the last compartment."

Kagome slowly sat up as she slowly ate the chocolate, "thanks Shippo… The last I remember was falling."

Shippo nodded as George said, "yeah, Lee caught you. Prof. was surprised that none of us were affected by those things as much as any one else."

Fred nodded, "we didn't tell him that it was you that saved us." Kagome nodded as she ate another piece of chocolate.

Kagome stood slowly, "so he doesn't know that I only fainted from lost energy?" The others nodded. Kagome sighed softly, "Prof. Dumbledore will soon tell him what I am, so I might as well tell him now why I fainted." She began to walk out of the compartment, "I'll be right back." Kagome walked down the hall, careful not to move too quickly since she was still slightly weak.

Once at the end of the train Kagome knocked lightly on the door, soon the door opened to reveal Ron, "Kagome? What are you doing down here? What's wrong, you look as bad as Harry?"

Kagome smiled weakly, "I'll explain later. Is there a Prof. in here?" Ron nodded as he moved aside so she could walk in. "Professor?"

Lupin turned and looked straight at Kagome, "ah, glad you woke. How are you feeling?"

Kagome sat in the seat across from Lupin, next to Ginny, who was still shaking, "fine, I'm just a little tired right now." She cast a side glance at Neville, who was standing near the doorway.

Lupin nodded softly, "well, you can head back to your compartment, we'll be arriving soon." Kagome nodded before she left for her compartment, soon sitting between Shippo and Lee.

At Hogwarts Kagome walked toward the carriages with every one else, surprised at the creature that was pulling the carriage. Looking at Shippo, she saw that he could also see them. Kagome climbed into the carriage with Ron, Harry, and Hermione, while Shippo rode with Fred, George, and Prof. Lupin. Once the carriages stopped Kagome followed the others out.

The four head a snide voice saying, "you fainted, Potter? Is Longbottom telling the truth? You actually fainted?"

Draco blocked their path while Ron said, "shove off, Malfoy."

"Did you faint as well, Weasley?" said Draco loudly, "did the scary old dementor frighten you too, Weasley?"

"Is there a problem?" said a mild voice. Professor Lupin had just gotten out of the next carriage.

Kagome barely heard Draco say there was 'no problem' but she didn't hear anymore as she began to fall forward, not noticing it was toward Draco, Harry and Ron's biggest rival.

Draco quickly caught Kagome before any one else had a chance to move. Lupin walked over and easily picked Kagome up, though he appeared rather weak. Lupin had Harry, Ron, and Hermione follow, though Ron yelled, "if you hurt my niece when you caught her…" But stopped since he was in the presence of a Professor. As they walked away from each other, none realized the slight concern in Draco's eyes, though he quickly hid it so no Slytherin would see.
