Draco watched Severus from his seat in the office. "What's wrong? I mean...what happened that had her crashing into the yard on her broom?"
"...from what I saw, she and her father got into a fight over her joining the Dark Lord's cause and it ended with her killing her father."
"Killing her father?" Draco stressed the word as Lucius looked on curiously at Severus. A small smile forming on his lips at what he'd just heard.
"...yeah, killing. As in...he's dead, and she's now officially an orphan."
"Does...she not have any other relatives?"
Severus frowned, "Miss. Higurashi was already adopted once, both her parents had been supporters of the Dark Arts if I remember correctly, although their names escape me. The man who had adopted her was a muggle, and had diverse views of magic and often times fought with her on the subjects of her culture."
"Splendid. She will no doubt join the Malfoy family in the future anyways. Besides, if she hadn't killed him, I'm certain the Dark Lord would have."
Severus nodded, "...indeed." He looked at Draco curiously and noticed a look of relief present on his face. "If my services are no longer required, I will leave. She will be fine after she's rested for a couple days, if not sooner."
Draco never looked up to his godfathers retreating back as Lucius saw Severus out. He stood and made his way closer to Kagome, shaking his head, he sat down beside her on the floor and simply stared at her. Not sure what to think, he went with merely worrying over her safety, and hoping for her to wake up soon.

Eyes of a blue azure stared forward at the red haired man before her. She looked on with a sick feeling of twisted hatred. 'This is wrong...' she thought as the man stepped back from her fearfully as she raised her wand and pointed it at him. "You should have just stayed out of it. I might not have needed to kill you then. Oh well..."
"K-Kagome!"
She glanced back to see another man run into the house. He went for his wand and she fired the first shot, "Avada Kedavra!" She chuckled as he fell lifeless to the wood flooring of the house she stood in, his wand falling and rolling towards her. She kicked it aside before turning her attention back to her father. 'It's not real, but it feels...real...daddy, this must be a memory charm. A really good memory charm...right?' Her hand raised again, "Now...for you." Her eyes widened, 'NO! I DON'T WANT TO WATCH THIS!' The last word slipped past her lips, "-Kedavra!"
A thump sounded as her fathers body fell to the ground as death took him from her.
"No...NO...NOOOO!"
-x-x-x-
"NO! DADDY!"
Draco shot forward and had his arms around Kagome who was sitting straight up with tears tearing wet roads down her cheeks. Relentlessly, they showed no signs of stopping anytime soon. It was well past the afternoon, and thankfully, his father had a meeting that had suddenly come up. His mother was in the library reading in the silence of her own time. Needless to say, timing was certainly on his side. "Kagome, it's okay! It's...it's alright...you're safe."
"Daddy!"
"Shh, shhh~ hush. Not too loud. Say nothing."
Kagome frowned but understood. "Is he….did I?" Her questions, although incomplete, she knew he understood.
"I doubt it. It's you, the best I could think...a certain charm."
A shudder left her lips as she nodded weakly into his chest, "...a rather strong one...if I dare say so myself." She felt her wrecked tremors calm at the soothing circles his fingers were running along her back. "I know I didn't...I couldn't possibly, but it feels...so real..." those last two words fell in a cracked whisper from her lips as she continued crying in the safe and warm arms of her boyfriend.
"...try not to think about it Kagome. It was necessary and that's what you wanted. It worked better than you hopped, Severus couldn't tell it was fake...and...even you can hardly distinguish the truth from the implant."
Kagome nodded, "yeah..." she wiped her tears and took a deep breath. "It's perfect, really...I just need to let it settle for a few days before I...meet him."
Draco grimaced at the idea of meeting the Dark Lord, not particularly looking forward to that day, he turned his attention instead to the time he'd get to spend with his girlfriend...well, if the two of them found time around the Dark Lord...that is.
"Draco...dear?" Narcissa's voice called from down the hall, a soft padding of light footsteps called to their ears as she grew closer. "Has Kagome awoken?" She peered around the doorway and her eyes brightened immediately at the conscious Kagome held in her sons arms. "Oh, thank Merlin!" She moved towards the two kids, kneeling down before Kagome as she came up beside Draco. Her hand reaching out to the girls forehead and cheek in uncertain worry before she smiled at her. "You sure caused a stir, my dear."
Kagome blushed, "my sincerest apologies, Mrs. Malfoy."
"Nonsense, my heart was in a panic at the sight of you. I'm only thankful that you are alright now. Draco," she turned her eyes to her son, "take her upstairs and let her get some more sleep in."
"Um...I'd rather avoid sleep...for a bit longer. I...I'm not entirely fond of my dreams."
"No, Kagome...mother is right. I'll get you a Dreamless Sleep potion, but you should rest a while longer. You will surely need it."
Knowing a losing battle when she saw one, Kagome begrudgingly nodded and sighed as Draco lifted her and took her upstairs to the room she used while she stayed with the Malfoy's. Thankful for the potion, she knew that her visions of her father would at least cease for the night. That was something...that was time...that's all she needed...time…

Me: Here is chapter three, sadly, happy chapters are going to be far and few between in year four, five and six for Kagome. However, there are some fun and happy moments to be expected in Hogwarts at least...they simply...need to get to Hogwarts to experience those moments. Tell me what you think, nyan!
