The Heir of the Western Lands
Prologue
Author notes: I know I shouldn't start a new story with my other two still in production, but when you have ideas, you can ignore them or use them. I decided to take one of my other challenges and to make something new with it. This fiction will be updated quite slowly as the other two will have priority. This one will be a side project when my muse decides to take a stroll in a new universe. Of course, the story will be AU for both the Inuyasha' verse and the Potter verse, but isn't almost always the case with Fan fiction? Now, let's get this show started.
Last updated: May 23, 2017
Hanyō Harry challenge.
What if ''The power he knows not'' mentioned in the prophecy was Inu youkai (dog demon) blood? What if Lily was not just a regular muggleborn witch, but an Inu youkai from The House of The West? It would mean that Harry is an Inu hanyō (half-demon). Imagine the results!
Requirements:
- Lily Evans was adopted after been found by the Evans parents when she was a just a baby. Okay.
- Lily's biological mother and father are full blooded Inu youkai. The father stayed behind to fight but the mother is the one who fled from Japan because of a schism or an attempted rebellion in the House of the West, but was grievously, maybe even mortally injured in escaping with her infant daughter. No problem.
- Lily is related to Sesshomaru in some way through her biological mother. (She can be his daughter, illegitimate or not, a niece or whatever, as long as there is a close blood relationship.) Yep, Lily will be his daughter.
- Sesshomaru is still alive, powerful, kicking and the current Inu No Taisho (The Dog General). Yep!
- Lily's biological mother put a spell on her daughter with her last breath (If fatally injured) to make her looks human and it fools even Dumbledore till her powers emerge when she hit puberty. Feasible, youki can be channelled through a specially crafted wand.
- Sometime in her life, Lily come on her powers and is able to shift her appearance at will. In both human and Inu youkai form, she must keep her red hair. Yep, redheads are the best lol XD
- James must be on the secret and does not care that his son is a hanyō and his wife is a youkai. He loves them. Of course!
- Harry must inherit The Tetsusaïga when Lord Sesshomaru deems him ready if Inuyasha in no longer alive. If he is, have Totosai forge him his own sword when he is deemed old enough. No problem, I'll make a choice soon.
- Harry must inherit the Potter family magic and be a wizard; it will mesh well with his demonic powers. Yup, a well rounded little mage our Harry will be!
- Harry's hair must still be black, hidden by glamour's to hide his half blooded nature or not. (When he uses the Tetsusaïga and channel his demonic power in it for a wind Scar or an Adamant Barrage, the glamour's can fail.) Sure!
- In both of his forms, human or hanyō, Harry's eyes are a strange mix of killing curse green and gold like others who have Inu youkai blood in their veins. That'll be cool.
- Because of his wizard's blood, Harry must age like a regular human till he's ''Of age''. By then he will age more slowly like a regular hanyō. Yeah, wouldn't want to stay a preteen for three centuries.
Forbidden:
- Evil! Albus Dumbledore. It won't fit well in the story. He can be manipulative, a bit dotty in old age, but he is still working for the Light. Not sure which Dumbledore I will use.
- Harry working with Voldemort. It's ridiculous, why would he work with his parents' murderer? As if.
- M/M relationships. Yeah, I'm not homophobic, but I prefer my partners to be of the feminine gender.
-Martyr! Harry. I really am tired of all the angst that comes with martyrdom. If the wizards are unable to dispose of the horcrux in Harry's scar, someone in the Youkai community must be able to do something about it. There's a few ways I could see how to go about it.
- Weasleys Bashing. I read too much of those recently. They all have their flaws and even Percy and Ron can redeem themselves. We all have our stupid moments. Right, nobody is perfect.
Recommended:
- Sesshomaru learns of the fate of the lost members of his court after the rebellion is stomped and retrieves Harry from the Dursleys after a bad episode of accidental magic or when his youki canceled his hiding charm. Nope, won't have to wait that long for a family reunion.
- Harry attending Hogwarts for a while. Yep, if only to kill time and to make the teachers go crazy. XD
- Hermione's having Priestess powers. Not sure who will get Shinto priestess powers, but somebody will.
- Harry's having a few ''dog'' moments, like crouching on the ground when sitting or nose on the ground for following a trail scent. Hell yeah, it will be hilarious!
- Hermione putting subjugation beads on Harry's neck to curb his reckless behavior. Not sure if it will be her, but it's a strong possibility.
- Sometime at Hogwarts, Draco goes too far and Harry really loses his temper. He must use his hanyō strength to haul Malfoy by the neck and made him piss himself by growling and blasting him with killer intent. For once, the good guy doesn't get caught and Draco's story is not believed. Of course, the little ponce needs to learn he isn't the top dog in school.
Optional:
- Lily's alive. Yes.
- Sirius still free and part of the family. Of course he'll be there.
- Remus around and part of the family too. Interesting, a cursed wolf among dog demons! lol XD
- Peter captured and put in Azkaban after a fair trial. Yep!
Addendums: The full lycanthropic disease/curse can only be passed either by bite from a fully transformed lycanthrope or if you were born a werewolf. Only a pure human, magical or not, can be infected. Veelas, Goblins, Merpeople, etc, can't be infected. If the father is a werewolf, you have 30% chances that his offspring will be one. 100% if the father is transformed during the conception. If the mother is a werewolf, the child will be one too, due to the shared blood. A pregnant werewolf woman can shift at the full moon with no problem at all for the foetus until the fourth month of pregnancy.
From the fourth month to delivery, the woman needs to cast a stasis spell on her womb before the transformation and remove it as quickly as possible once human again or the baby could die in the metamorphosis or have its birth retarded if the stasis is not removed. If the woman is non-magical, she must be helped by a wizard or a witch or she'll lose the baby. Avoiding a transformation is not possible.
Also, Inu Youkais usually mate for life and in most cases, are monogamous. Also youkais can't interbreed with a different species of youkais. The exceptions are those species closely related, by example a Lion Youkai can breed with a Tiger Youkai and a Wolf Youkai can breed with an Inu Youkai. Kitsunes are only fertile with humans or other kitsunes.
She had managed to get away, but not unscathed, for she was gravely wounded. Those who wanted to defy her husband had done it shrewdly, going at it undercover, assembling money, supplies and followers, willing or not. There has been a magic wielding human who came, asking for support in ridding themselves of those his Lord and those of like mind, found unworthy of being gifted of magic. Her lord husband wanted nothing to do with an internal conflict in the hidden magical enclave in the distant land of Britannia. The man was offered hospitality for the night, he would be fed and watered and could break his fast in the morning, but after he would have to get himself out of her Lord Husband's lands.
The man did depart as commanded, but not before teaching her Lord Husband's enemies how to mold their youki (Demonic energy) to a simulacrum of wizard magic. There was a curse that took control of the mind, another one that felt like having hot holy knives piercing your bones. They never managed to make the one hit one kill spell, but youkais could kill quite easily without mimicking human magic.
She was a pure Inu Youkai, even if her hair was fire red and not silver white and her eyes were emerald green, not golden. It was her hair who first got her Lord Husband's attention and then her fighting prowess. Able to spar against him and hold her own and make him sweat for a victory. Not many could boast that, since the current Inu No Taisho was the strongest lord in many generations, having surpassed the previous one to hold the title. She did not came from a noteworthy clan, didn't have a special talent recognized by her pears otherwise of her unmatched control of her youki.
She wasn't even a noble, but he chose her as she chose him. The courtship was still done within the rules, but a few years later, they were married, quite in love and she proved to be quite fertile by baring him a healthy pup a few years into their union. In her mind it was almost a miracle that she did not end up pregnant sooner, with the stiff traditional stand form her Lord Husband against human contraception (Youkais can't catch STDs) and the fact that they were quite active in their bedroom chambers. She bore him a daughter, a princess for the Western Lands, who was born from her beloved Lord Husband Sesshomaru and her, their beautiful little flower.
Rirī was the name they gave her. But the extremists in the Court were getting bolder and bolder. They had managed to put under mind control the matron who was helping her tend to Rirī, who had inherited the demonic markings of her father and her red hair and not to forget her eyes, wanting to give an emotional blow to Sesshomaru-Sama, ordered the matron to slay the pup! Needless to say, the matron didn't make it and her Lord Husband decided at this precise moment when the matron's corpse was cooling on the floor, to smite the traitors. No more diplomacy after that stunt. Sesshomaru had learned patience, but it still had limits.
Harm coming to his family was the breaking point. Armed with his claws, his poison and his sword Bakusaiga, the House of the West descended into civil war! She had taken many a blows in her escape, managing to replicate, what was it called again? An international portkey but never having set foot outside of Japan, she left the destination to random. Blood loss was getting to her. Eriko managed to make it, stumbling to a human contraception. What was it again? Ah, a park. There were strange plastic inventions where the humans' pups could play. Humans, they were a weird bunch. At least they had ingenuity for them. Rirī was squirming; it was time to feed her.
Eriko bared her fangs in pain when she aggravated her wounds by moving and directing her energy trying to heal her wounds to protect her child from the cold, but parted her kimono's folds and latched her daughter to her left breast. It was quite cold; it was the beginning of February. Her daughter was born only a few weeks ago, on January 30th. It was the year 1960. She was so sad. She knew she wasn't long for this world; she had lost too much blood. But she would not pass away until her daughter was safe!
With her fabulous control of her youki, the Lady of the Western Lands crafted strong undetectable glamours and mystic bindings to make her look like a Caucasian human and for her daughter's already growing youki to express itself more similarly as human magic than anything demonic. The glamours would hold until she had her first menses and for the simulacrum of human magic, it would hold until her eighteen birthday. The modifications to let her grow up at human speed until her maturity where her youkai nature would take over were trickier and to delay their activations was no simple feat, but Eriko was quite the accomplished sorceress.
Too bad she couldn't heal herself now, she no longer had enough youki for that, but her daughter's safety came first. She could smell the presence of two humans coming near. She had to do something. She just had a few hours left on this world. She switched her daughter to her other breast and came across a middle aged couple. The man had crew cut red hair almost the same shade as Eriko and Rirī's and was pretty fit. He had the presence of a warrior or more likely a soldier of some sort. He also had vivid green eyes. The woman at his side was blue eyed and blonde haired, with fair skin compared to his tanned one.
She had no special bearing, more likely a civilian then. She revealed herself to them, breaking the magicals' law, something about a statute of secrecy. Not like she cared right now, she was dying and needed to entrust her Little Flower before joining her ancestors into the pure land. Needless to say, they were both surprised and a little bit scared at seeing a severely bleeding non human woman. Still holding her little angel in one hand since she was still latched to her breast, she rose her free one in the universal sign of surrender, even if the light of the street lamp was reflecting off her claws. In broken English she said with a pained but melodious voice
"Need...help. Baby. Dying me. Husband fighting. Escaped, Rirī safe must be..."
To show her good faith, she let them saw her babe-in-arms bundled into her blood stained kimono. The woman, Rose Evans nee Bernard, a mother herself, could understand a bit of what was going on. That strange woman had injured herself to death door to protect her child from something dangerous. Her blue eyes were full of sympathy and she turned to her husband, recently discharged with honor from the Royal Navy, who was eying the stranger with mistrust. He had navigated all around the world, seen incredible things, but never saw a woman like that, even in Japan. He could recognize her accent by the way she was massacring his first language.
Lieutenant Michael Evans didn't like the unknown. Unknown could equal dangerous. And dangerous could quite easily become mortal. It was why he was not letting his wife go near this strange woman, even if she was not hostile, clearly gravely wounded and with a child in her arms. He relented when he saw her stumble, and heard her beg again
"Please! Baby! Safe! Place safe for baby! Dying! Protecting Rirī! Hanshu no otto (lord husband), Sesshomaru-Sama! Find her… aru hi (one day)!"
Eriko was exhausted! The woman was a mother, she could smell it on her, and the man was her mate, the father of that woman's pup. He was guarding his mate against her, noble but pointless. She no longer had the strength to fight. Finally they relented after arguing. Both adults approached her, the woman tried to take the baby and the Youkai had to fight off her instincts to not reduce the human in pieces! But, for her daughter, she managed. The man took the she Youkai in his arms like a bride then both humans took the direction of their home, but she was too tired to do more than chuckle lightly and to say with humor in her voice
"No touching breasts. Married. Faithful. Husband no like sharing."
The Evans man answered in perfect Japanese after snorting in mirth
"Don't worry; I am also married and faithful. One woman is enough for me."
Emiko answered by a crooked grin. He was a good man. As much as she was already regretting that she wouldn't be there to see her daughter grow up, she was satisfied that they had been found by good people. Soon they were back at Michael and Rose's home, in Cokeworth. Rose was happy that Petunia, her one year old daughter, was at her grandmother's. She didn't want her beloved daughter to see so much blood.
In the end, they hadn't managed to save the non human woman whose name was Emiko. On her dying breath, she activated the spells she put on her daughter and tweaked them to make her look like the daughter of Michael and Rose Evans. She had also managed to convince them to take her in. When Emiko let out her last breath, Rirī of The House of The West became Lily Evans.
In Japan, Sesshomaru would search every centimetre square of the country, looking for his mate and pup, once the rebellion was crushed mercilessly. The Dog General would only find out what happened to his family eighteen years later, on a business trip in the United Kingdom. He would learn that his wife died of blood loss and was buried somewhere in the Sherwood Forest. He would also come face to face with his eighteen years old daughter when meeting one of his English contacts, Albus Dumbledore. Needless to say, even the great, terrible and powerful lord Sesshomaru needed to sit down to take it all in.
