A/N: Don't own either of them.

If I was in my right mind at the moment, the scenes before me would have made me shiver. If I were to show any weakness though I would never be able to go through with my mission. I had gotten a call from Dumbledore requesting for me to help. For some reason he asked me to help him save one person by the name of Draco Malfoy, so here I was willingly walking in to Malfoy Manor pledging myself to the dark lord so I could save said person. Dumbledore of course hadn't expected me to do what I was doing, but I found this to be the best possible way. I would infiltrate them and hopefully be able to help more than one person. He and Snape had given me a little on the back story of this person, but I still really wasn't sure why they wanted to save a boy who seemed beyond saving. Well that was before I laid my eyes on him. Like others in his family his hair was platinum blond, and his skin was pale. He stood off to the side of the main sitting room behind his father. His eyes remained trained on the floor, and it allowed me to look at him without incident. His hands were shoved in his pocket but you could still tell they were shaking. With every scream of their prisoners he flinched. As I got a better look I noticed his hair was matted down, and his skin was paler then it should have been. It was at this time I knew just why Dumbledore wished to save this boy. This boy was not cut out to be what his family name demanded he be. He was not taking pride in what the death eaters were trying to accomplish, so his father was trying to make him. They were forcing him in partaking in their actions, and along the way trying to break him. I could tell if I didn't do something soon, they would surely have their way.
ooOOoo
The next hour drug on as we waited for their master to come and see me. I could tell the second he entered the barrier. He was surprised that someone of my kind would wish to join him. I guess it was a good thing I was a good actress throughout this entire thing. I had all of them wrapped around my finger that was until they wished to mark me to show my allegiance. That took some creative thinking on my part to get out of.
"I wish I could my lord, but you see with my powers it will not happen. The mark will be purified before it can even touch my skin I'm afraid."
"I see my little miko, no matter we will find another way. Lucious."
"Yes my lord?"
"You wish to restore your family name am I correct?"
"More than anything my lord."
"Then it will be done. I overheard you speaking of how you wish your son was a man. I will have Kagome bed him, and in the process bonding her to him but more importantly us."
"Yes, my lord."
"My little miko, do you have experience in these areas?"
"But of course," I said while licking my lips, "he will be a man many times over by this time tomorrow."
At that point Lucious drug Draco off to be prepped, and I was a loud to get myself ready in one of their many bathrooms. The only thing I needed to do was take a deep breath and try to slow my speeding heart. I knew this was the perfect opportunity to speak with him, but it didn't change the fact that I wished to wash my mouth out with soap for the way I had been talking. Keeping up this façade was getting harder by the minute. With another deep breath I made my from the bathroom to a bedroom I assumed to be Draco's. His father was just walking out as I approached. He smiled brightly and allowed me to pass through the doorway. As soon as the door closed I locked it and put up a barrier so we would be free to talk without incident.
ooOOoo
Once the barrier was up and secure I turned around to get a better look of the silver and green room. I really wish I hadn't turned though, because the sight before me would haunt me for the rest of my days. Draco was tied to his bed with invisible restraints, and nothing but a thin sheet covering him. He did not struggle as I thought he would, so I figured that he had been immobilized. If that wasn't bad enough as my eyes travelled to his face I could see the tears that were leaking out of his eyes. All in all it was a pitiful sight, and not one anyone should have to be subject to. Hurriedly I made my way to him and used my own power to break his restraints and the immobilizer. I tried to speak to him, but he had passed out. It would seem that today's events had just been too much for him.
A few hours later and I wanted to wake him, but I could tell he needed the sleep. That was fixed though when he woke with a start. He looked around his room seemingly petrified, and he just stared at me. My heart went out to him because I knew well what it was like to wake up in a strange place, wondering what the heck had happened. I quickly gathered the clothes I had found for him and laid them on the bed next to him. His eyes never left me as I walked back to the chair I had been sitting in.
"Why don't you put those on, and then we can talk."
He tried to say something in response but his mouth wouldn't obey him. He started shaking again and tears threatened to fall as well. I wasn't sure really what to do, so I did the same thing I had done with friends in the past. I made my way back over to him and sat down on the bed next to him. I then took his head and pulled it to my chest and wrapped my arms around his still shaking form. I thought he would have resisted, but that fact that he didn't just showed once again how close they were to breaking him. I expanded my aura around us and used it to try and sooth him.
"It's alright, take a deep breath. You don't have to worry, nothing happened. You passed out a few hours ago and I've been sitting in the corner since."
With each word he seemed to calm down more and eventually stopped shaking all together. When that happened I moved away and handed him the clothes once again, all the while giving him an encouraging smile. I turned around to give him some privacy, and made my way back to the chair. On the table next to it I conjured up two mugs with hot chocolate in them. My mother had always made hot chocolate when me or my brother was down, so I figured it might help him.
When he was dressed he came over to me and I handed him the mug. He stared at the mug with the fluffy white stuff on top and gave me a questioning look.
"It is what the muggle's call hot chocolate. It is usually used during the winter months to warm someone up after being out in the cold, but it is also a good pick me up drink. My mother gave it to me as a child whenever I was down."
"I…I don't understand, why…"
"The answer is simple really. I could never…I could never take something so precious away from someone. Your first time especially is supposed to be with someone you love. I only went along with their little scheme because I could get some alone time with you."
"I am confused, you sound nothing like that girl from earlier."
"Lucky for me I have always been a good actress."
"Why exactly are you here then?"
"Because an old friend of mine asked me for help, and I was more than willing to give it."
"Dumbledore?"
"You catch on fast. Yes he asked me to help and I figured the best way to be of use was to infiltrate. When I told him this he was taken aback, but told me the manor would be the best place. Of course when it was decided I was coming here he asked me to check up on you as well."
"Why? I tried to kill him last year, and he is worried about me. He needs to get his priorities straight; there is no point in even trying to save me when there is nothing to save."
"So that would explain why you flinch every time someone screams? You can pretend all you want Draco, but you can't hide the truth from me. Dumbledore saw what was happening to you last year, and I only needed to take one look at you to see the truth. You are not like the others that share your namesake, and they know it. Instead of leaving you out of it, they are forcing you to become one of them."
"Shut up now! You have no idea what is going on, and have no right to judge. Even if you are right there is nothing anyone can do about it. My fate was decided the day I was born a Malfoy, and it was sealed the day the mark was branded on my arm. This is my destiny, and I have no choice but to accept it. If you try to interfere you will only end up dead."
"So that is it then? Have you really given up so easily? Is it that you are scared because you know nothing about the world outside of all this, or are you too weak to try and do something about it?"
"I am not scared, and I sure as hell am not weak! There is nothing I can do about it. This is all I have, and there is nowhere else for me to go."
"That is more like it."
"What are you talking about woman?"
"It is just nice to see the real Draco, and not the shaking cowering one from earlier. I was scared for a second that you were past the point of no return. Oh, and you have no need to worry, I am going to help you whether you like it or not."
"Why are you going through all of this just to help me, especially when I don't want your help?"
"Because it is about damn time that someone did. No one has ever given you a chance because of your name, and I intend to change that. Contrary to popular belief I see good in you, and a spark in your eye that I haven't seen in years. Now my question is will you allow me to help, or will I have to force it on you? Are you willing to go against all that you have ever known to maybe find happiness?"
He took a long while contemplating what he was going to do. I could see the struggle to do what he wanted, and the fight to not listen to what he had always been taught. Eventually his head raised and his eyes locked with mine. His eyes held hope, and a trust that I would help him get through this. It would not be easy for him, but I had high hopes.
ooOOoo
After our understanding we talked for many hours. He told me of his childhood and events leading up to today. I spoke of my childhood and my adventures in the past. He had been surprised to find that I could travel through time, and the trials I faced while I was there. As I was getting to what happened after Naraku I remembered something.
"Oh no…"
"What?"
"Do you remember what the dark lord said about when a wizard does it for the first time? Well they are bonded to the one they lost their virginity to. I've heard that when this happens any other witch or wizard can tell. What are we going to do? They will be able to tell that you are still a virgin…"
He stood up and walked to the window.
"They will know if we don't, which puts us back at square one."
"Do you really find me that repulsive, that you would never contemplate doing it with me?"
I was more than a little taken aback by his statement. He knew this was his only chance to freedom, and is now wishing he had never gotten his hopes up. I was not the skank I was pretending to be, but I also knew that if this didn't happen we were not going to get out of here alive. Slowly I made my way across to the room to him. He was once again staring out the window. Once to him I wrapped my arms around his abdomen and laid my head in the crook of his neck. He tensed at first, but gradually relaxed.
"I do not find you repulsive I assure you. I just wish it didn't have to be under these circumstances…"
"So you are attracted to me."
"After a shower maybe."
Those were the last words spoken as we did exactly what they wanted us to do, although it was not in the fashion they anticipated. Inuyasha was my only partner before, and our first time had been during the mating ceremony. With his death I never expected to be doing anything of the sort. We were both inexperienced, but it went surprisingly well. The thing that neither of us expected was feeling something during it. The last thing I remember was him pulling me close and pulling the comforter over our naked bodies. The sound of his heart lulled me to sleep, and that night was the first time either of us slept the entire night through in a long while.
ooOOoo
When morning came I found him once again in front of the window. Gathering up the comforter I walked to him and wrapped it around both of us, this house was freezing. We stood embracing one another for a long while before he spoke.
"What happens once we leave this room?"
"What do you wish to happen when we leave this room?"
"I know I am not the only one that felt something last night. I have to admit I am scared to question what it was if it will mean nothing once we leave the sanctuary of this room."
"It will only mean nothing if you decide it does. We both know it will not be easy, but I am willing to explore the possibilities if you are."
He said nothing, but spun me around and kissed me tenderly on the lips.
"If you don't mind me asking, how many lovers have you had?"
"Only Inuyasha, and I didn't expect to have others once he died."
"I don't know why this excites me, but it does."
"It should, because with everything I went through with him I never wanted to think about love again. He hurt me more times than I can remember, and my heart can't take it again."
"It would seem that we were broken in different ways, and yet here we are together."
"So it would seem. I suppose we should get dressed and leave the room…"
His arms wrapped tightly around my body and he kissed my forehead. What happened outside this room would not be easy, but I knew together we would overcome it.
Sometime later there was a knock on the door. I smiled at him and gave his hand one last squeeze before I dropped the barrier. He grasped the door knob and opened it to find his father. As we stepped through the threshold together our masks came on. Draco smirked and pulled me roughly to his side.
"Are you pleased father?"
"Oh my son, I am very pleased. Now that she is bonded to you we will bring honor back to our name."
We would indeed bring honor back to their name, but it wouldn't be in the way his father thought.
ooOOoo
A/N: Well I am very pleased with the way that turned out. Please tell me what you thought with that little button down there!
