I'm soooo sorry this has taken so long! I have chapter eight done, but I'm stuck on chapter nine! E-mail me ideas for what you what to happen in the story to ladyakasha@hotmail.com. I'm going to be in California for another week or so, but then I'll be home to work more!
I don't own the characters, just Schotego Durrlenz, and the idea of Setsuna being Harry's mom (I think)

Chapter 7 "Oops?" Part 2
Sirius looked Severus in the eye."What do you mean 'Lily is still alive'? She died when Voldemort attacked their house!"
"No, Brother, Lily did not die. She is really Pluto."
Sirius choked. "You mean I'm godfather to the heir of the Meiou Family? From Chronus himself?"
Severus rolled his eyes. "You're the brother-in-law to the daughter of Selene, uncle of the current Tsuki no Hime, and your freaking out because you're the godfather of the next Toki no Kaushisha? Baka."
Sirius glared at Severus. "Well, your try believing that your best friend's wife is dead for the past fifteen years, then you find out she's really alive and the Hime of Pluto no less!"
Severus stifled a laugh. 'You don't even know the half of it...' he thought.(he he, my version of foreshadowing. ^^)
'Father of Time, Ancestor of mine, heir to your throne! Save me, Chronus!' (*apologizes for the cheesy-ness*) Harry thought desperately.
Nothing happened.
'Toki no... Toki no... Erm, Toki no Kaushisha! Help me!'
Setsuna materialized beside him. Her two words summed it up nicely, " Oh, shit!"
Harry blinked. "Mum? Help, please!"
Setsuna nodded and crossed her staff in front of them. In a commanding voice she spoke, "Schotego Durrlenz, as the daughter of Chronus and the Goddess of Pluto, as the Guardian of the Time Gates, and Immortal, I command you to return whence you came."
"Immortal.. You know the law," the Hunter growled out. "Any mortal found on my hunting grounds is mine."
Setsuna's stance straightened, considering her next words. "Any true mortal, yes, but he is not a true mortal. No, not at all. This boy is the son of myself and the Son of Fate and Destiny. His bloodlines grant him Immortality."
"No, Immortal, it does not. An Immortal and a God do not beget an Immortal, but a God. Those are within my grasp, as you well know." The Hunter motioned with his claws. At the movement, Harry collapsed to his knees, grabbing at his head. "Already, the chibi ouji falls into my power." ( I just realized Harry is awfully quite during that exchanged... one would think he would have more to say since they were arguing about whether he got to live or not...)
"You can't have him! You may be not be bound by time, but you should remember what will happen if he dies!"
The Hunter made a half-chuckling-half-growling noise. "Who said anything about killing him? Why would I kill someone who I worked so hard to protect fourteen years ago, while you, his mother, did nothing but watch?"
Setsuna clenched her hands around her staff, surprised at the hot tears running down her face. She didn't want it to be true. Yes, she had known some outside force would save her son, but this monster? It was almost unspeakable.
He continued on, "I may be more inclined to the Nega Verse, but grant them the power of eternity? Of infinity? Nay, that would be my own death sentence. By saving the child, I fulfilled an ancient prophecy:
Mark of the Darkness
Seer through the night
Heir of Fate, Child of Time
Silver to Emerald, glimmering orbs
Inverse images, adversaries on sight
Both marked for life, eternity, and more.
Murderer for evil, distorted by power
Ill fated forever and nigh
Tri souls merged one, in the twinkling of an eye
Death, Dark, and Time, Binded for Life."
The Hunter looked at the boy on his knees, clutching at his scar. "To save his life, I had to Bind him to myself in order to protect all life."
Setsuna lowered her staff, "It seems I have misjudged you. However, my son it still withering on the floor, why?"
"The Binding is being completed, 'Tri souls merged one.' That night I also saved another. Now, they are being binded to another, and since they are both binded to me, they are more the just what they were born as, they are more immortal then the Immortals."
"'More immortal then the Immortals'?"
"Time will show you." The Hunter said cryptically, smiling at the irony.
Harry was seeing the life of another pass before his eyes. Pain and agony. Harry felt every last bit of the pain that he had felt. From the first time he had scraped his knee to the time his father had beaten him and locked him in the cellar for two days, Harru lived every second, every scream, every smirk, every scathing comment, and every thought. He knew that the boy was feeling the exact thin- reliving another's experiences. After a few seconds of shaking, the memory of getting his scar invaded his mind. Then, after a few seconds that stretched for an eternity, a new set of memories were given to both boys. They were the memories of a being whose life had spanned for several thousand millennia, and yet had many more to fo. Both boys now knew every prophecy written, including the one concerning them. They knew the truth about the Hunter, the real reason he had saved them as infants, and the reason why Voldemort had attacked Harry.
So many new things now filled Harry's mind, he thought it would explode.
Setsuna watched her son tremble, in a tight compact ball.
"You spoke of a prophecy. What is its origin?"
The Hunter gestured to the air with a paw. "Does it really matter? It was given and is in effect."
"Tell me, dammit! You have waited so long for him, tell me your source!" (O.O violent Setsuna...)
"Oh, little Immortal, do you think I would discredit them?" Setsuna tensed. "My, my, it seems you do! Very well, Keeper, you shall know the one who gave the prophecy." The Hunter gestured with his paw again and a stream of images flew through her mind.
An infant. A new mother, her arms going slack. Nearly dropping the child. Words flowed from the woman's lips- the prophecy.
The scene changed to Setsuna herself, watching her mother being killed, not paying attention to the strands of time.
Back to the woman and child. Setsuna recognized the woman now, Goddess Saturn: Hotaru's mother. The Goddess let the child slip from her grasp, as she collapsed, the words repeating.
Setsuna found herself ridged. She wasn't on Saturn, she was on Meiou-sei: her home.
The Guardian of Time sank to her knees and pulled Harry into her arms. "My son, my poor boy..." with the images that had come was the knowledge of what impact it had on Harry.
"Sets? What in the Ten Worlds am I doing here?"
Setsuna looked up, and into wide, familiar eyes. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at the Gates?
"Ummm.. Yeah, I thought so too..."
Harry started to stir and he cracked one eye open. "Daddy?"
Cliffy! MWHAHAHAH! Is it someone who just looks like his 'Daddy' or is it really him? You'll just have to see!
... I'm evil aren't I?
