Another Day…

Chapter 4

Kagome, Harry, and Souta jumped out of the car, grabbed their trunks and started heading towards the platform. "Bye mom!" Kagome called over her shoulder. "I'll see you next summer!"

"Kagome! Souta!" Mrs. Higurashi ran after her children as fast as she could with the Dursleys trailing slowly behind. After all she was their ride. She thought it would be best if the whole family saw the kids off. "I want to make sure you three get on board the train alright. Besides this is Souta's first year." Her son smiled up at her full of pride.

Vernon interruptedly cleared his throat and began to talk. "I do believe we will wait by the car. Come now Dudley, Petunia…"

"Vernon!" Mrs. Higurashi looked disapprovingly at Harry's uncle. "Don't you think you should see your own nephew off?"

"Don't worry about it." Harry put in. "They never have in the past."

"Well, he will this time!" With that said Mr. Dursley knew that if he didn't go there would be no more favor from his new boss. They all made their way through platform 9 ¾ without a problem, although the Dursleys found it a bit odd that they had to walk through a wall to get to the train. When they did make it through though, they were amazed by the sights they saw.

Hundreds of wizard's head stuck out of the window to wave goodbye to their parents and relatives. Cats and rats were scattering about the floor along with a lost toad, and owls were soaring overhead. Suddenly the whistle on the train blew.

Kagome and Souta ran towards their mother and gave her a big hug. Harry couldn't help but smile at the small family moment. He didn't get to see too many of them, and he never really experienced one himself. So it was a pretty nice sight to see.

The three students ran onto the train and began looking for compartments. While Harry and Kagome looked for an empty one, Souta came across some other first years that offered for him to sit with them and he happily accepted. Luckily for the couple of seventh years, they were able to find an empty compartment for themselves. As the train lurched forward and sped off towards Hogwarts, she couldn't help but wonder.

"Hey Harry, where are the others?" She asked with a yawn.

"Ron, Hermione, and Cho are all at their first Prefects meeting of the year. They won't be here for a while. You'd have plenty of time to take a nap."

She nodded, leaned back and closed her eyes. He smiled at the miko sitting next to him as her breathing began to soften. She was beginning to doze off. Harry then did the same by leaning back and closing his eyes. He wasn't tired but he was thinking. He was sort of reminiscing the past summer.

Everything that happened seemed to have brought Kagome and him closer together. All the training, the outings, and all the incidents helped him to shed new light on her for him. And with everything she had to go through in the feudal era that he learned about in her book, he also gained a high respect for her. He felt bad for all those times he was angry and arguing with her last year. Especially when he thought she was working for Voldemort when in fact she was fighting against him.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted when his left shoulder suddenly got a bit heavier. He opened his eyes to see Kagome's head resting on his shoulder. He slowly brushed the hair back that fell in front of her face. She then nuzzled into his neck to get more comfortable, causing the poor wizard to blush. He didn't mind that she was there. It was just a bit different that's all.

He slowly reached into his trunk and pulled out the book that Kagome gave him and opened the front cover. Inside was one of the photo stickers that he and Kagome had taken just the night before. Harry chuckled at the picture of himself. He looked like a blushing fool.

"You look so embarrassed."

Harry turned to look at a now awake Kagome lying on his shoulder. "I thought you were sleeping."

"I was, and then you started looking at this lovely picture."

"Yeah well you made me look like a fool."

"At least you have something to remember me by now!"

"What do you mean?" he asked. That was a little odd for her to say.

Kagome slowly sat up and began to stretch. "I might not always be around, you know. I am a miko fighting evil bad guys after all!" She let out a yawn.

"Don't be silly Kags." He shut the book and placed it back into his trunk. "You're going to be around forever." He smiled at her causing her to blush a deep crimson.

Suddenly the compartment door slid open to reveal a sleazy Malfoy. He grinned at the two other seventh years. "Well if it isn't the loser's carriage. How are you doing mudblood?"

Kagome smiled at him which took him for a slight surprise. "I'm fine Malfoy. I'd ask how you are but I can see you're still as ass hole-ish as ever."

Draco frowned. "You better watch your mouth girl. I don't think you'd like it if you suddenly had an accident."

She slowly got up. "On the contrary I believe you should watch your mouth. I suppose you don't recall what happened last year on the way to Hogwarts."

His frown suddenly turned into a malicious smile. "Oh I recall alright. But I've been taking lessons. So you're no match for me now."

Kagome smiled and thrust an arm at him. He quickly blocked it with his own arm. She grinned. "Not bad. Not bad at all." Suddenly she got a lot faster. As she began punching and kicking, it was easily noticeable that Draco was beginning to have a hard time. And by the time she stopped, he was panting in exhaustion while she stood unphased.

She leaned forward towards him. "I'm quite proud of you Draco. You're actually developing some bite to go with that nasty bark of yours." He took a step back in response to her leaning forward but lowered his arms. She smiled. "You only have one problem." She quickly raised her hand and flicked him gently on the nose. "You let your guard down. Never do that when in the presence of the enemy." With a wink she turned around and sat back down in her seat.

Malfoy suddenly began stumbling for words. He didn't know what to say. Not even an insult. A blush suddenly formed on his cheeks. Harry could tell he was embarrassed. He then turned and stomped out of the compartment.

They both laughed as the door shut. But just as it shut, the door opened once more. Ron, Hermione and Cho all stood at the door. As Cho knocked Kagome out of the way to sit by Harry, Hermione and Ron sat on the other side. "What's so funny?" Ron asked with a licorice rope hanging out of his mouth.

"Kagome embarrassed Draco and actually made him blush." Harry answered still chuckling.

Ron's mouth hung open. "Bloody Hell! And I missed it? I always do!" He sat back in a slump as if pouting. "What did that git try and do anyway?"

By now Kagome was up and sitting on the other side of Harry. "He thought that I wouldn't be able to beat him up or threaten him this year."

Hermione started laughing. "With all that training you had in the feudal era? No way!"

"What's a feudal era?" Ron asked curiously.

"Come on Ronald. Didn't you read Kagome's book over the summer?"

"I read it." Cho interrupted. "That was the fakest thing I've ever seen in my life."

Kagome felt her anger rise further then it already was. "You know Cho," she started sweetly; "I think the same thing every time I see you."

"What?" She replied in a tone that everyone in the compartment wasn't used to based on the look on their faces.

"You heard exactly what I said." She said stretching out on the bench unaffected by the usually innocent Cho suddenly gone sour. "I absolutely can't stand you. But because you are Harry's girlfriend I shall be civil towards you. However," she glanced over at Cho. "I do know you are up to something and I will figure out what it is. I just hope I won't be too late."

Cho suddenly shifted gears in the argument. "Harry! Do you hear what she's saying? Make her stop."

"I can't make her do anything Cho. If she's enduring you, can't you endure her?" Harry asked sincerely. For once he wasn't immediately jumping to his girlfriend's side. Kagome was just important to her after all.

Cho got even angrier and Kagome could have sworn she heard a small growl come from her. But then Cho made the argument personal. "Well at least the man I love isn't in love with a dead girl."

"You know what?" Kagome quickly stood up. "I don't have to listen to this. It takes two to argue, so I'm out. You can argue with yourself."

Kagome moved towards the compartment door. She was clearly distracted for when she slid open the door, she ran smack into someone trying to make their way in. And before she could register who it was she collided with, two arms wrapped around her.

"Kagome! As soon as I heard from a member of my pack that you were attending this place I just had to come!"

Kagome looked up at the youkai in front of her. He looked exactly the same except a little more excited with his tail swishing happily back and forth. She sighed. "Kouga, you can't just come to the school and stay there. You have to go there to learn magic."

Kouga grinned showing his sharp fangs. "Of course I was invited. As of today I am your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

"As am I."

Kagome gasped. "Lord Sesshoumaru?"

He looked down on her with no emotion. He definitely didn't look like the same Sesshoumaru. He was actually wearing a suit and held back his long, silver hair in a low pony tail over his shoulder. No claws, fangs, pointed ears, or giant fluffy like tail was even showing. Other then his silver colored hair you wouldn't even notice he was a demon. "The one and only. Do you have a problem miko?"

"Yeah actually I do." She finally decided to pry Kouga's arms off of her. "How do I know you two aren't going to turn and kill all us humans at the school?"

"Just because the real world doesn't know of our existence and just because we aren't 'mainstream', doesn't mean we haven't blended into your human world for hundreds of years now."

"Wait a minute." The conversation was interrupted by Ron. It seems the rest of the compartment was completely forgotten about until now. "You mean those two are demons?"

Kagome sighed. "Unfortunately." This comment received a glare from the great demon lord. "They're a lot more powerful then Shippo." She was certain she heard Ron gulp with this news.

The whole compartment suddenly grew still except for Kouga's constant show of affection. He was now nuzzling into her neck. She could practically feel all the stares she was receiving. Luckily, Hermione broke the silence.

"Well guys I think we are almost to Hogwarts. So let's go tell everyone to get their robes on." Hermione and Ron hurriedly made their way out of the compartment. Cho leaned over and gave Harry a quick kiss before leaving the compartment. Kagome glared at Cho as she left.

"Kouga." Sesshoumaru decided to speak again. "We must gather our things."

"But I want to stay here with Kagome!" Kouga whined. He gave Kagome another tight hug and rested his head gently on her head.

Sesshoumaru gave his new partner a cold look. "Wolf, do not defy me." With that he made his way out of the compartment and seemed to float down the hallway.

Kouga released Kagome and crossed his arms. He started out after the demon lord but made sure to throw in his own comeback. "Mangy mutt."

Now only Harry and Kagome remained. The two slowly pulled out their robes and put them on. "So," Harry started, "Are they the Kouga and Sesshoumaru from your book?"

"Yeah and they're still the same demons I knew 500 years ago." They finished putting on their robes and sat down next to each other. Harry glanced over at Kagome. This didn't go unnoticed be her. She raised an eyebrow. "What?"

Harry blushed in embarrassment. "You didn't mention in your book that you were so close to Kouga."

Kagome stared at Harry. Suddenly she burst out laughing and Harry just blushed a darker shade of red. "You're not seriously accusing me of having an affair with one of the teachers again are you?"

"No! Of course not! It's just…" Harry lowered his head. "You're the only one who hasn't said anything about a current relationship. I along with the rest of the wizarding world know about your past love life, but you never talk about if you like someone now."

"It doesn't really matter." She said in a regular voice with a smile on her face.

Harry immediately looked up and leaned into her. "It matters to me Kags! We're best friends after all. You can tell me anything at all."

"I'm sorry Harry. It's different this time." It was different this time. How could she possibly tell him that she was head over heels in love with…? "I just can't."

Harry leaned in closer this time. "Please Kagome. Give me some sort of hint." He began to give her the puppy dog face with sad eyes.

Kagome giggled. "Counterfeit sad looks all you want. They won't affect me. Besides, you're super dense if you don't know who I like."

Harry frowned. "Now that's not very nice. Even if I should know you like, you should be friend enough to tell me."

"You'll avoid me if I tell you."

"I will not. I'll stay by your side forever."

Harry looked up and smiled at her once again. With his words and her feelings, Kagome lost control of herself. For the second time since she had known the boy-who-lived, Kagome closed what little space there was between him and met her lips with his. Warmth seemed to flood through her body. When she pulled away she could see that Harry's face was just as red as hers probably was and he was staring at her with wide eyes. Hopefully he got the picture by now. But she decided to tell him just in case.

"I love you Harry."
