A/N: Well if you were wondering why I haven't updated in awhile and why this is pretty short…that would be because I only received 5 reviews while I had a lot more people favorite it…I mean really?

Anyways have you all been hearing about the Kony 2012 movie on you tube? If you haven't watched it yet you should! It's amazing what their doing!

PLEASE READ/REVIEW


The Sunset Shrine in Tokyo, Japan was renown for the peaceful aura it held and charms of protection against lingering spirits that were sold. Any one who had personally met one of the shrine keepers had become a denizen or a frequent guest to shrine, drawn back for the chance to speak with one of the kindhearted Higurashi's.

"You're closing the shrine for today?" an old visitor asked as Kagome placed a sign at the base of the shrine steps.

"Hai, I apologize for the inconvenience, however it will be open tomorrow, Furusawa-san…I'm afraid today we had an unexpected visit from some relatives," Kagome reassured as she bowed slightly to the elderly man.

"Ah, no need for such formalities, Kagome-chan! Be sure to let your old jii-chan know that he still owes me that youkai bone he promised!" Saku Furusawa called as he began shuffling off. "And be careful going up those steps! Wouldn't want you falling!"

"Hai! Arigato, Furusawa-san!" Kagome called out to his retreating figure before spreading out her aura to locate the steps.

Beginning her trek up the stairs Kagome began counting with a practiced patience. Losing her vision had many downsides, and when she had first lost it she had struggled relearning how to do certain things. It had been frustrating, always depending on everyone else and disappointment always coursed through her at the end of the day as she felt everyone else moving along in their lives. So one day she had her okaasan lead her to the base of the shrine steps and slowly walked up alone. It had taken her hours when as a child it had taken her a few minutes to race up the steps. Fear of being sightless, of not seeing what she was stepping on dissipated as she used memory to find her way up the steps. When she had finally reached the top her morale had increased to such a degree Kagome stepped right back into where life had left her.

"KAGOME!" the cry broke her concentration and her eyes shut as arms wrapped around her waist and the world around her blurred.

Almost relaxing into the sturdy arms Kagome bit her lip as she tried to keep up with the moving surroundings, her aura brushing against familiar plants but moving past so quickly she couldn't figure out where on the shrine she was.

"Shippo put me down please," Kagome murmured softly, knowing his ears would pick up the whisper.

"Ehh? No problem okaasan!" the cheerful kit replied and in a dizzying moment she was jerked to a stop.

Collecting herself as the kitsune placed her gently down Kagome's mind quickly created an image of her surroundings and her aura stretched out to feel a strong aura emitting from the middle of the area.

"Goshinboku," Kagome muttered in relief as she walked steadily towards the tree and crumpled down beneath it.

"Awww no hug!" Shippo demanded and Kagome could picture a pitiful puppy face on him.

"I already gave you a hug when you and Sesshomaru, interrupted my breakfast," Kagome replied tersely before sighing and patting the ground beside her.

Happily plopping down Shippo sprawled himself out and released the charm on his youkai features. Stretching his three tails he used one of them to tickle Kagome's nose and couldn't hold back a chuckle as the seemingly mature miko instantly latched onto it.

"Where did Fluffy-sama, disappear off to anyways?" Kagome wondered as she turned her eyes on Shippo, not noticing him flinch or the guilt that filled his aura.

"Uh-I think he went to look at the well," Shippo muttered looking away.

Tilting her head at the tone Shippo's voice had taken Kagome shrugged before untangling herself from Shippo's tails and pulling herself to her feet. "I think I'll go check on him."

"Okaasan, do you want me to help you?" Shippo immediately jumped to his feet, prepared and willing to dote upon her.

Kagome had to hold back a sigh and instead gently shook her head and pushed him towards the house, despite his short protest. "Souta's inside playing video games, he wanted a rematch and I can walk myself. If I fall I'm sure Sesshomaru will catch me."

Trying to give her best motherly glare even though she couldn't really tell if it was working Kagome gave him another shove to get him moving and smirked as she heard him muttering about strange, futuristic okaasans that would refuse the help of a son.

Wheeling herself in the direction of the well house Kagome counted the steps there and slid the shoji door open with ease. Stepping into the musty room a feeling of nostalgia swept over her and memories flashed through her mind.

"Your scent while it will remain forever within the well is fading, miko…you haven't been in this well house for well over a month," the cold voice swept over her as she felt warm breath by her ear and realized Sesshomaru was standing directly behind her.

"Sometimes it hurts to linger in the past, Fluffy-sama," Kagome murmured as she stepped away from Sesshomaru's looming form and towards the well she had cherished. "Especially when you're so close…but so far."

Regarding Kagome silently, Sesshomaru's eyes paused on her own eyes. They were a deep cerulean color and were as vibrant as ever. But a thin film seemed to lie over them making them appear dead, so unlike the emotion filled eyes he was used to.

"You will get your vision back, I assure you," he promised his own regenerated left hand clenching.

Smiling gently Kagome simply nodded knowing it would be no good to argue. Shippo and Sesshomaru had already tried as hard as they could to find spells and charms and youkai cures that would restore her vision but were out of luck.

"You know I always took my vision for granted. And yet because I'm blind…I'm finally seeing the world," Kagome murmured as a beautiful smile broke across her face, making Sesshomaru's heart light.

"Hai," the taiyoukai replied, content to simply watch over the miko who had been a friend to all.

Placing her hand on the well Kagome turned away from Sesshomaru. "I always knew that you and Shippo would find me…but I never expected you to bring a whole other world along with you."

Sesshomaru wrinkled his nose at her words and let out a disgruntled sigh much to her amusement. "Magic, is a hindrance…they expect everything to happen so easily."

"For them, maybe it's simply being able to believe in something unseen," Kagome replied thoughtfully.

A moment passed and they were both lost in thought. The quiet peacefulness of the well's diluted magic comforting them.

"Are you sure you wish to do this…Hogwarts, is far from Japan, if you wished to immerse yourself in magic Japan has many magical schools with more traditional roots," Sesshomaru attempted to persuade her.

Letting out a deep sigh Kagome easily made her way back to the well house door. "I have already made my decision. I will be fine, after all I won't be completely alone. Ne? Kirara?"

"Mew," Kirara jumped from the rafters of the well house and landed on Kagome's shoulder, her twin tails wrapping around Kagome in a funny embrace.

"Hn. Foolish, miko."


Harry, Hermione, and Ron were huddled along with the rest of the Weasley children hoping to catch pieces of the Order's conversation as members began to file quietly into the hall. Fighting over the Extendable Ears the Golden Trio finally gained one and were able to hear the end of a conversation before Crookshanks snapped it off.

"Oh, Crookshanks!" Hermione bemoaned as Ron sighed in frustration.

Ducking back into Harry's and Ron's room the Golden Trio split paths with the twins and Ginny. They all silent for a moment before Harry began talking. "The 'girl will win the war…' What does that mean?"

"Sounds like bloody idiots…" Ron muttered only to be whacked over the head by Hermione.

"No Ronald, it sounds like a powerful witch will be joining the Order," Hermione spoke up with a roll of her eyes. "The real question is who?"

Harry stayed quiet as his best friends began bickering and he couldn't help as his mind wandered back to Kagome…she couldn't be the one who would be joining the Order of the Phoenix…would she?


"Wow…looks like a shithole," Shippo stated as the stepped out of a taxi on Grimmauld Place, luggage in hand.

"Shippo!" Kagome exclaimed reaching out to slap him.

Seeing Kagome was going to miss, Shippo moved a bit closer so she would make contact with his arm. "Ouch, okaasan! Don't you love me anymore!"

"Shush, Shippo," Kagome murmured as she thought of the house number she had been told before flying to England. "Is it there?"

"Hai, okaasan, come one, I'll help you up the steps," Shippo said as he took her arm and guided her up the steps before knocking on the door, having been given very specific instructions to not ring the bell.

Kagome waited patiently as she leaned against Shippo trustingly. Hearing the door sweep open Kagome straightened her back and bowed slightly. "I am Higurashi Kagome."

"You're-you're the girl!" a familiar voice cried out and Kagome tilted her head as she felt his aura, a small smirk rising to her lips as she did.

"How do you know Kagome boy," Shippo demanded heatedly only to be reined back as Kagome placed a firm hand on his shoulder.

"Harry Potter, pleasure to see you again…however, I do believe it is proper courtesy to welcome guests in," Kagome said with a wide smile as she felt his disbelief.

Poking her head out from the corner of the door Kirara 'mewed' up at her mistress much to Harry's surprise as he noticed the two tailed cat that was inside the house. "How did she-?"

"You'll have to excuse Kirara, she is very quick and prone to wandering," Kagome said pleasantly as she raised a brow. "Now, Harry…may we come in?"

"Of course you can Miss Higurashi as well as your companion," an old but deep voice rang out from behind them and Kagome hid a frown as she felt the aura behind her.

"Dumbledore, I assume, it was very kind of you to invite us," she murmured softly and stepped into the house with Shippo close behind when Harry moved. "But the reason why has yet to be determined."

"Why don't we take this conversation some where else, Miss Higurashi, perhaps the kitchen. I'm afraid we have many prying ears," Dumbledore said kindly as he glanced at a stunned Harry. "Oh and if you could please keep your voices down in the hallway…there are some sleeping residents…"

"Aah," Shippo glanced at the walls curiously before looking at Kirara. "Take us to the kitchen Kirara, that is if you know where it is."

The neko mewed her annoyance at the kitsune before stalking off, making sure her footsteps were loud enough for Kagome to follow.

"Professor Dumbledore," Harry snapped out of his daze as he grabbed the headmaster's arm. "Please could I just talk to you for a minute."

"No time Harry," Dumbledore muttered brushing the boy off as he strode after the Japanese guests.

Having heard the quick exchange of words Kagome frowned at the way he had treated Harry, confused by such callous words but even more so by the deep regret emanating from the old man.
