Blood was everywhere. The metallic scent of rust and salt rose into the air, hovering with the Angels of Death that remained to carry off the unfortunate and stupid whom would die today.
And that delicious scent called his true-self forward.
Malikai…
The beginning of the battle started with a fierce bang, the forces of Good and Evil- more like Those of the Light and others Drenched in Darkness and Blood, crashing into each other with the light of magic and death rising immediately.
Harry had remained in the Castle to watch from the Astronomy tower, arms wrapped around himself to keep his powers from lashing out. His family was down there.
Powerful nineteen-year-old Hermione and her strategizing eighteen-year-old husband Ron. The Light was vastly under manned, but much more powerful and skilled, with people like Dumbledore, Minerva, and even the crackpot Trelawney was a force to be reckoned when she had her wand in hand.
"Love." He turned slightly. A man seemingly made of shadows swiftly came to him, pulling the smaller back into his embrace, resting his chin on Harry's shoulder.
"Are you ready for this?" the soft baritone voice questioned.
"I've been ready since I turned Seventeen." Harry answered, tilting his head slightly when a tongue swept against his neck. "The question is are they ready for this." He could see his family, each one a beacon in his mind, fighting until Voldemort showed himself, and then he could end it all.
Then teeth found his pulse and he found it hard to concentrate as hands slowly slithered under his clothing making even breathing go to the back seat of his thoughts
"Relax Malikai." That voice dark whispered. Harry did, slowly. Then a dark evil magic sparked into the air, and the two men locked eyes. Harry closed his eyes, lacing their fingers together as screams rose into the air.
"It's time. Let's go."
He was there, right in front of him, his prey. The Dark Lord stood at the clearing before the Forbidden Forest, cursing a witch to insanity using the Cruciatus curse. Speeding forward, he let the changes over take him.
Malikai Alihandrios!
Ears pointed slightly, claws formed, his eyes started to swirl with silver, and pure power surged through his veins. His new wand, thirteen inches of blood soaked holly, the core a single strand of his and his mate's hair wrapped together flew into his hand. Then he saw whom it was screaming shrilly, writhing on the ground.
Hermione. Family to his demonic mind, the Basilisk in his soul hissed-sister!
Fury sparked his demon awake and the shadows under Hermione swallowed her whole, cutting the spell apart and it transporting her away as he slammed into Voldemort from behind with a snarl, tearing skin from the Dark Lord's back.
The man screamed, and a spell burned against Harry's skin, causing him to leap off the snake man, and land, skidding two yards away, throwing spells as he did. A light blue shield sucked them up as Voldemort turned eyes wide. Harry smirked, standing tall.
He was an even 5'9, lithe and slightly muscular, the tight black long fishnet sleeved shirt doing nothing to hide that fact. With simple trousers and a black sleeveless robe closed at the waist alone, barefoot, he didn't seem like a threat, bare of any weapons except his wands…until you looked into his eyes. The Darkness and Death he now craved made those inhuman orbs glow near sinisterly.
"Hello Tommy-boy." Harry purred, his narrowed eyes flashing as he let his head tilt to the side, the Basilisk filling the air with venom. Without pause he shot an 'accio' out aimed at Voldemort's right lung and the man easily shook it off, throwing bone shattering curses out. Harry dodged most of them, yet one slammed into his right wrist and his wand went flying.
Harry simply raised the limb letting his youki wrap around his wrist; the gold-green-black energy bright as it healed the wound before Voldemort could say a word. Voldemort stared, and was slow to react as Harry ran forward, but dodged the kick to his face.
He missed the next five punches, then Harry grabbed the hand holding the yew wand, and jabbed his own into Voldemort's stomach.
"And here is your death-" Harry started mockingly, "Tom Marvolo Riddle, Heir of Slytherin. The power know you not?" Harry let Voldemort feel his hand moving then gripped inside the Dark Lord ripping his intestines out "I am a Demon, a Kitsune of the highest class save the Silver Kitsunes who are the children born of the Lady Goddess Inari herself." He grinned sadistically a sinister light in his eyes "I am a Shadow Kitsune, my ancestors were created in the wake of the Silver's first walk on this Earth, their Light created my Darkness." He grinned, his fangs visibly starling Voldemort as he started to try to get away.
Harry crushed the hand holding the yew wand, and then let go to grip Voldemort's left forearm, claws sinking into the flesh.
"Those tied to your magic? Die." His youki and magic flashed, and the words 'Morsmordre' edged into the white flesh flashed blood red, before turning black as screams rose into the air.
"Your Death Eaters are dead, and dying." The left hand sunk back into the inhuman flesh right underneath his ribcage "And now you will be too."
Harry raised his hand, using his venom to sink the appendage deeper and deeper into Voldemort's chest before a clawed finger touched still beating muscles. He grinned darkly, ivory fangs flashing before using a surge of magic to grip Voldemort's heart and pull it from his chest, his other hand ripping the Dark Lords right arm out the socket as he turned away, then forced the still beating heart down Voldemort's throat.
Malikai Alihandrios Callistus!!
"It's not nice is it? The taste of your own revolting blood?!" Voldemort collapsed and Harry stood, backing away from him, pulling his third wand, a twin of the other, from its place, to touch the blooded chest.
"Burn in hell. Jyuilus." The soul-stealing curse sunk into the ruined chest, and started to slowly tear what was left of Voldemort's soul apart as Harry backed away, letting out a hysterical laugh, curling over to clutch his arms.
It was over, finally, completely over. Voldemort existed no more, his death eaters dead or slowly dying, tortured by the dark mark, his magic dragging them to death.
The Basilisk inside him hissed angrily and his magic created a black hole at his back, swallowing five spells; three Avada Kedavra, one Jyuilus the soul stealing spell, that he created which only three others beside himself knew, and one that slowly stripped the skin, muscles and nerves from your bones. He turned slowly, his Basilisk hissing in fury, shadows started to form at his feet in his anger, and Hyui, his familiar of three years, a magical python basilisk hybrid, tattooed onto his shoulder detached himself, pocking a head out of his sleeve.
You aren't strong enough to be awake. Hyui didn't reply, and Harry soon forgot about him as he saw whose wands were pointed at him.
Albus stood to his right. Grandfather. The Soul Stealer.
Tonks was behind him. Cousin. Avada Kedavra.
Ron was to his left. Brother. Avada Kedavra.
Hermione was beside Ron, their hands intertwined. Sister. The Peeler, a spell she'd almost died to if he hadn't saved her, like he had saved her earlier.
Ginny in front of him, a satisfied glint in her eyes as her mouth twisted into a smirk…Voldemort's smirk. Sister. Avada Kedavra.
They all were armed aimed at him. His only family left, save few, he had.
"Guys?" He ventured, mind going numb. "I-I don't understand why are-" Then he saw Kingsley, and everything shut down as shadows and pure fury raced through his veins, creating the Black Flames of his magical inheritance on his arms. The big black man had Severus in a chokehold; wand pointed to his neck. Severus was nearly limp, a single hand gripped the about his neck arm to help him be able to even breathe. Blood poured from his temple and side.
"What- are you doing?" Albus threw another Jyuilus and Harry could only watch it come. Not hearing three warnings, or the cold laugh echoing in his ears
Good bye, Master. Before he could move, Hyui jumped in the spell's path, his body flashing a sickening gray and gold as he fell to the ground, where the seven foot long Japanese Hybrid writhed, growing back to his true form of nearly 20 yards, before he fell still. Harry felt something in his mind snap, his familiar was gone. Two more curses where thrown his way and two bodies appeared at his sides, pulling him behind them.
"Good bye My Lord, my little brother." One red haired twin started,
"Remember, this is the way we wanted to go, right?" The other let out a pure smile, no regret in his eyes as green blew his brother's life away and his body hit the ground.
"Do not throw yourself away! You understand me?" He commanded, hands gripping Harry's arms as the other spell hit, and his skin stared to peel away. The twin grimaced closing his eyes as blood started to pour down his back, instantly painting it a vivid red and black
"We choose this, always remember that!" He had to stop to grit his teeth against the pain then looked back up, raising his wand to his chest.
"B-but Fred-!" The twin's smile made his voice die out.
"We give our powers to you. This life, this magic, our souls, are yours." He and his fallen brother glowed pure white, and then the twin spoke again
"Avada Kedavra." He fell beside his brother, and Harry fell to his knees.
"Malikai!!" The voice snapped him awake, and he blurred out of sight, pulling his mate away from Kingsley's hands, laying the barely breathing man next to the twins as he stood.
"Give me one good reason why I should let you all live." He growled out, hands clenching as his nails hardened, turning dark silver as they grew longer.
"We have to kill you because you're an abomination! A purely Dark Creature feeding off of death can not live amongst the Light." That was Hermione. Sweet, sweet Hermione, his older sister, the bookworm, the one who saved him so many times…
"After everything I've gone through just to save you!?" Harry yelled incredulously. His heart was starting to hurt, the beat stuttering. "I've shed blood, sweat, and tears to finally get to the day were I could end it all and you all still be alive, and now you want me dead??"
"Given how you fought here, you could easily kill us at anytime!" Ron spat. Kin Killer. That would before ever burned in his soul. "Do you really think we'd fall for that? You only want us to live so you have prey in the future! You are a demon! You live for blood!" The red head stood tall, chest bared in his self-importance. "We are only saving the world from the next Dark Lord." Harry let out a hollow laugh, finally just giving up. He could feel Fred and George's sacrifice now, their souls swirling about him, their life energy merging with his demonic core, their souls in his.
The next spell got so close it opened a line on Harry's cheek. His Kitsune side was reeling, screaming at the loss of his kin…maybe he should just die, do one last thing to make them happy.
Someone else decided first.
Just as he was raising his hand to his neck, a circle flashed to life around the four of them, blood red runes flouting in the air, white and blue light coming from out the ground
Wake up Kit. Now is not your time.
He didn't care, what mattered anymore? A Kitsune lived off of the love and affection they got from those they held dear, his own species needed love because of how deep they delved in the darkness, their loved ones were their light.
And now that light was fading, fading, soon to be gone completely with every shallow breath his mate took as his blood coated the ground.
Your mate can still live, if you leave this place.
And go where? He demanded, pulling Severus close. Nowhere is safe now.
The past.
Harry's eyes widened. But how-? The magic started to spiral, and the twin's bodies vanished into small lights, sinking into Harry's arms.
Then everything went black.
And he awoke to screams. Green eyes flew wide open and Harry scrambled to his feet looking around him frantically. Where was he? Where was-
A pale long fingered hand lay on the ground, wrist still bleeding sluggishly. Harry blinked, and then blinked again as a large blob of Darkness rolled close to him, a thin line pulled free from the center and snatched up the hand, pulling it into itself where it vanished.
"…Sev?" Everything was empty, quiet, cold. The blob seemed to laugh, then spat out two things.
A long ebony wand, then a gem, the exact color of Harry's emerald eyes.
They lied.
Those eyes turned silver and red.
Now everything is gone.
Harry James Potter, son of Lily Potter nee Evens and James Harold Potter died.
Malikai Alihandrios Callistus was born of shadows, darkness and soul shattering pain.
To all of those who could even understand it, a wordless scream of rage, sacrifice sorrow, and pure agony echoed from the South.
Then for the next thousand years, Malikai, the only living Shadow Kitsune, delved completely into the Darkness, and only knew madness.
In the West, young Johei RemidhiRe Inugumi no Kinyui, called InuJuyhi looked up from his studies as the West Heir, and his father glanced at him. Lord Remidhi raised an eyebrow.
"Kinyui?" The Inu Youkai quietly laid down his writing utensil at his birth name, the first time his honorable father had called him that since the time of his infancy over 50 years ago, to look out the window "What is it, son?" The boy's eyes were glazed.
"Pain…Father. Mindless pain, a loss of a soulmate…" The Ancient Dog Demon winced "Agony and rage…in the South." The boy blinked, then turned back to his papers "The South will be unchartable until this demon is subdued or it's mind rebuilds itself."
Seven hundred years later Lord Inugumi no Juyhi welcomed his only son Johei JuyhiRe Inugumi no Shuyui, who would one day be called Dog General, to the world.
A/N Notes for your pleasure
In the canon series of Inuyasha, they never give Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha's father a name, simply Inu No Taishou, or Dog General.
So I just took the Inu, as Inuyasha has, and made inugumi, or Dog God, so every special case in the Inu clan are graced with name of inugumi or for example like Juyhi:
Dog God Juyhi or God of the Dogs, Juyhi, as I like to think it seems. Their father will be referred to; depending on the amount of respect the one has for him at the moment:
Inu No Taishou: Dog General
InuTaishou: formal name without 'lord'
Lord Inugumi no Taishou: full formal name
Shuyui: His birth name, only people very close to him
Johei JuyhiRe Inugumi no Shuyui: full royal name
