I Finally See

Chapter 11: A Visit from Big Sister

By Bored-Is-My-Favorite-Word

Harry walked with Inuyasha through the woods grumbling under his breath slightly, "I don't get it, why are we patrolling through the woods? Nothing serious seems to be happening."

Inuyasha looked at him to reply, "I don't know, Kaede just said that she feels something's amiss and I've come to learn to trust that old woman's predictions." Although his face showed how bored he truthfully was as he gazed lazily over the foliage. Miroku and Sango were looking around the outer village perimeters. Kagome stood guard at the village along with Shippou.

"I'm going to check up in the tree, 'k?" he said before leaping through the branches not giving him a chance to answer. Harry didn't know if it was just a cat thing but he had always loved climbing trees and he found himself frequently doing it now that he was in a time full of them. He reached the top of the particularly tall tree and crouched on one branch while holding another. It was slightly chilly but he ignored it in favor of scaling the landscape. He didn't see anything out of the ordinary but he did sense something coming this way. It wasn't traveling very fast but it had a cloud of death surrounding it that made Harry's hair stick up.

Harry stood up and jumped down from the branch getting the familiar feeling of freefalling before he lightly landed on another branch and proceeded to jump the rest of the way down. He landed next to Inuyasha in a crouch and he stood from his position next to the tree.

"Something's coming; the old hag was right about that. However I don't think it's a demon, it feels like death and graveyards, anyone you know?" he asked when he saw Inuyasha's face paling.

"Kikyo," he stated simply making Harry turn to him looking confused before his face clouded over in comprehension. They stayed quiet for a second before Harry nudged him making him look down at him.

"So you going to go talk to her and explain?" he questioned and Inuyasha looked down at him in surprise, obviously he had been expecting some anger. Harry gave him a smirk, "Don't worry so much, I trust you not to do anything with her."

Inuyasha grinned at his statement thankfulness shining through his eyes. He gave a mischievous look to Harry, "Maybe you could give me something to keep you in mind throughout the meeting?" he hinted.

Harry gave him a puzzled look before it dawned on him what Inuyasha was hinting at. He gave Inuyasha a smile and dragged him down by the collar of his shirt so he reached Harry's height. His breath ghosted over Inuyasha's lips and Inuyasha's eyes started to lower. He spoke to Inuyasha then, "She touches you, and I ant sleeping in the same room as you for two weeks and Kikyo will be graveyard dust under my feet."

Inuyasha blinked before watching gob smacked as Harry laughed and pushed him away and started to walk back towards the hut. "I expect you back within the hour or I am coming after you," he said lightly before he squeaked when he felt the dog demon turn him around and plant a heated kiss on his lips making Harry melt against him.

Inuyasha pulled away leaning his head against Harry's, "Within the hour," he said before he took off running in Kikyo's direction.

Harry scowled after him, "Damn you Inuyasha, why do you always have to ruin my cool exits!" he shouted after him huffing in annoyance. He then turned his tail twitching slightly as he hopped through the trees back to the village.

He landed on the ground outside the village and casually strolled over to where Sango and Miroku were, just in time to see them trying to see how far they could stick each others tongue down the others throat.

"Ew! You have stained my virgin eyes!" Harry screamed dramatically covering his eyes as the two broke apart blushing like crazy.

Miroku recovered quickly though, "Harry? What are you doing, aren't you and Inuyasha supposed to be patrolling the forest?"

"Aren't you supposed to be patrolling the villages' borders?" Harry retorted smirking as they blushed, "That's what I thought Mister. Besides we found out what was causing the disturbance and dog boy is dealing with it," he said nonchalantly.

"What is it, some demons?" asked Sango readying her Hiraikotsu, Harry shook his head at them watching as they relaxed.

"It was Kikyo," he said calmly and watched slightly amused as they both tensed up before they started hailing him with questions.

"You mean you just let him go?!"

"How could you do that, Kikyo is evil!"

"Do you not know how Kagome's going to feel when she hears Inuyasha went skipping off with that tramp?"

Before the last one Harry had just been amused but that one made his eyes narrow and his hair stand on in. He hissed at Sango his youkai swirling around him in possessiveness.

"She shall feel as you would feel nothing more or less. She does not own Inuyasha so he is allowed to do whatever he wants. Furthermore her and Inuyasha are not in a relationship and never shall be if I have anything to say about it!" he snarled at the stunned humans, "Inuyasha is MY Intended and to even suggest that Kagome is his makes me laugh!"

Sango looked confused while Miroku was shocked. Sure he had suggested to Inuyasha that the two had been flirting but he didn't think this would happen.

"Intended? What's an Intended?" Sango wandered but Miroku had locked eyes with the panther demon studying him intently. Harry wasn't backing down and his emerald eyes blazed at him his magic surrounding them in a haze. (Think Danny Phantom's evil eyes.)

"I see…" whispered Miroku finally breaking their gaze unnerved by the others stare.

"Miroku what's going on?" Sango questioned hesitantly her hands tightening to her hiraikotsu.

"I would think you would know what an intended is Sango, you have been studying demons your entire life," Miroku replied dodging the question.

"Miroku," she growled dangerously showing that his dodge was not appreciated.

"Go ahead Miroku tell her, she'll find out soon enough after all," Harry said continuing to stare the other down. Miroku took a deep breath and answered Sango readying for the impending fireworks.

"An Intended is what demons refer to as someone they could see as being their mate. Like a fiancé of sorts," he said. Sango looked at him blankly before turning to Harry in anger.

"What?! How could you, Kagome loves Inuyasha, they were made for each other!" she yelled.

"Wrong," Harry replied tilting his head a slight smirk working his face. "Kagome is the same age as me, we are only sixteen, and neither of us even knows what love is. At least not the kind you are talking about. Inuyasha chose me to be his Intended, not Kagome. You and her are just going to have to except that," he finished.

His answer was her hiraikotsu sailing towards him, which he nimbly jumped over. He unsheathed his fans and ran towards Sango before positioning one fan at her neck and the other behind him ready for use.

"I don't want to fight you Sango, the only one who can challenge this claim is Kagome and Kikyo and that is more out of politeness then anything. Inuyasha propositioned me," he stated and her eyes widened at that, "and I accepted."

"Why? Why would Inuyasha do that, he barely knows you!" she shouted her voice quivering with her frustration.

Harry shrugged, "I don't pretend to understand how his mind works. He asked me to be his Intended, he gave me his reasons, which you do not need to know, and I deemed it satisfactory. Myoga, who is Inuyasha's guardian accepted this, there is nothing you can do to change what has already happened." His eyes finally softened as he lowered his fans. "Contrary to what you might be thinking I am not out to get Kagome, I do feel sorry that she cannot be with Inuyasha, but she cannot hold on to these delusions that they will be together. Kagome needs a kind caring boyfriend who will treat her like the girl she is. Likewise Inuyasha needs someone who isn't going to resort to violence if he's being moody. Kagome and Inuyasha would never make it; they're too much a like for it to last in a healthy relationship. Both have short tempers leading to them arguing a lot and making both of them miserable."

Sango calmed down and looked at Harry for a second before letting loose a sigh and nodding, "I believe you, it's just this is going to crush her."

Harry sighed as well, "Better now then later."

With Inuyasha

Inuyasha sped through the treetops following the smell of graveyard soil and death. He was thinking of best ways to break the news to Kikyo, and so far he was getting nothing.

"Man what a time to have my brain stop working," he mumbled before he bursted from the woods. Kikyo stood there in her familiar garb and her soul collectors hovering around her.

"Inuyasha," she said tilting her head a bit in greeting. Inuyasha nodded to her in response.

"Kikyo, we need to talk," he replied and she looked slightly curious and nodded.

"Kikyo you were the first person I ever loved, you treated me better then scum and I will forever appreciate you for this. However I don't love you anymore, you have changed from the kind woman I knew and I can't have a relationship with you." He said before taking a breath and looking at her.

She was impassive staring right at him, "My reincarnation, are you in love with her?" she asked looking surprisingly accepting.

If she was surprised when he shook his head then she didn't show it, "I love Kagome, but more like the little sister you want to protect. We could never have a stable relationship even if we tried."

Kikyo was nodding along and sat down on the ground lightly patting the ground in front of her. Inuyasha hesitantly sat down.

"Explain," she demanded and Inuyasha explained. He told her everything about Harry, except about his magic and past because that was his personal information. When he was done with his story she looked thoughtful before standing up and walking towards the forest.

"I wish to meet this Harry you speak so fondly of," she said. Inuyasha looked surprised and rose walking next to her.

"Why?" he asked suspiciously looking ready to attack her. Kikyo looked over at him and for the first time since she was reborn gave a small smile to him that had a slightly mischievous gleam to them.

"If my reincarnation is like your little sister that must mean I am like your older sister. It is the job of all older siblings to scrutinize potential in laws."

Inuyasha was left to stare at her dumbfounded as she calmly walked through the woods before he scrambled to catch up with her.

Scene Change

Harry looked up when the hut door opened and jumped up when he saw Inuyasha walk in.

"So how did it go?" he asked walking over to him. He narrowed his eyes when he saw Inuyasha looking at him nervously.

"Well that depends…" Inuyasha said he was ignoring Miroku and Sango who were looking at them curiously.

"Why do I not like the sound of that?" Harry asked. Inuyasha grabbed his arm and lead him outside where Harry saw a woman in priestess garb scrutinizing him. She was definitely beautiful, but the smell of death around her instantly put Harry off. Also the snake things flying around her helped. He wondered if he would be able to speak to them, deciding not to ponder that thought he focused on the dilemma he was now in.

"You must be Harry Potter," Kikyo said looking him over.

Harry chuckled nervously, "Yeah that would be me, and you must be Kikyo."

Kikyo nodded, "I am, I noticed you are not Japanese."

Harry nodded as well, "I'm from Britain, I'm still kind of learning Japanese. Not to sound rude or anything but what is it you wanted?" He was nervous looking at the priestess, he had no idea what was going on. Inuyasha stared helplessly at him looking as confused as he felt.

Kikyo smiled, shocking Miroku and Sango who stood at the door. "I came to meet the one who finally captured Inuyasha's interest."

Harry grinned nervously, "Well it was pretty unintentional actually." Inuyasha snorted beside him and Harry elbowed him lightly making him wince. "You are not helping!" he hissed at the dog demon who shrugged lightly. Harry looked to Kikyo giving an apologetic look, "One second I need to talk to Inuyasha, we'll be right back."

Harry dragged Inuyasha away from them and spun to give him a glare, "What the hell is this?!" he asked him looking frazzled.

"How the hell am I supposed to know?! One minute we're sitting on the ground with me explaining everything to her the next she's walking out of the forest saying how it was a big sisters job to judge future in-laws!" he said looking frazzled himself.

Harry calmed down when he saw how confused Inuyasha was and rested his hands on the others shoulders calming him down, "Okay calm down, tell me what happened."

Inuyasha explained how the meeting with Kikyo went and Harry nodded along with what he was saying. Finally Inuyasha was done and Harry looked more like his usual laid back self and nodded.

"I get what's going on, don't worry Inuyasha there's nothing wrong going on. She's just judging to see whether I'm worthy enough to be your Intended," he said reassuringly.

"I'm sorry," Inuyasha said his ears flattening, "All these people are giving you a hard time over this."

Harry looked at him before rolling his eyes. He grabbed his head and jerked it down so that Harry could kiss him on the lips. Inuyasha automatically wrapped his arms around his waist pulling him closer before Harry broke away.

"Now are you going to act like your regular obnoxious dog like self or not?" he asked.

Inuyasha growled at him, "I wish you would stop calling me that."

Harry batted it away with a pfft, "It's a term of endearment you're stuck with it, sorry." Of course he was anything but, and it was clearly shown.

Inuyasha smirked at him smugly, "Well you wanted me to act like myself so I can't say I'm sorry for what I'm about to do."

Harry narrowed his eyes at him, "Inuyasha I swear if you-YAAHH!" He yelled when Inuyasha slung him over his shoulder and jauntily walked back to the hut and the others. Harry beated his back with his fists screaming curses and yelling threats.

"You put me down dog breath!" Harry screamed while Inuyasha laughed at him.

"Stop wiggling so much, all you're doing is hurting yourself," he commented the smirk never leaving his voice. Harry screamed in anger not letting up on his beating. They made it back to the others who were staring at them.

"Sorry Harry and I just needed to clarify some things," Inuyasha said to Kikyo not looking like he was going to put Harry down any time soon. If Kikyo weren't so impassive she would be sweat dropping along with Sango and Miroku.

Harry suddenly got a devious idea and stopped his struggling. Inuyasha was about to comment on this when a resounding slap echoed around them.

Everyone was quiet as they watched Inuyasha's face turn extremely red as he dropped Harry making him fall with an 'Umph!'

"W..what was that?!" he yelled at the panther demon who had a shit eating grin on his face as he picked himself up brushing the grass off of his shoulders.

Miroku was in the background trying to cover his laughter by coughing although he was hiding it horribly.

"What?" Harry asked innocently blinking at him although the grin hadn't left his face.

"THAT! What you just did you psychotic cat!" Inuyasha yelled flustered beyond belief. Kikyo was largely forgotten; right now it was an epic battle of wills between cat and dog.

"Um… could you be more specific, I do a lot of things that could piss you off," Harry replied.

Inuyasha rose a finger looking like he was about to yell before deflating his finger falling. His eyes narrowed and he 'fehed' turning away from the others and crossing his arms.

"Aw is the big bad doggy woggy upset?" Harry asked cooing at him. He bent backwards at an impossible angle when Inuyasha turned around swinging an arm at where his stomach was.

"Teach you to call me a dog!" Inuyasha snarled while Harry laughed jauntily jumping away from all of his hits.

"Didn't you want to talk to Harry?" Sango asked Kikyo obviously hesitantly.

Kikyo shook her head and positioned herself on the ground to watch the twos interaction, "No need, I can learn more about him just by watching him and Inuyasha interact."

Sango nodded in reluctant agreement, "I guess your right, I've learned more about Harry in the past weeks by watching him and Inuyasha then by actually talking to him."

"Did you just learn about this arrangement today?" she asked never taking her eyes off of the fighting couple.

Sango nodded her eyes also not leaving the couple. Finally Harry seemed to have had enough of the fighting.

Inuyasha's eyes widened when Harry suddenly leaned forward in the middle of one of his attacks and laid his lips on the others. It was a slow and sensual kiss that stopped him in his tracks as he paid all of his attention to the kiss. Harry slowly massaged his tongue against the others mouth lightly nipping his lips.

He finally pulled away when he saw he had the half demons complete attention.

Inuyasha was silent for a second before blushing, "I can't believe you just did that in front of them."

Harry smirked and tweaked his nose, "Aw poor Inu is embarrassed. Besides I figured if Kikyo wants to be your older sister then we should show her what she's getting herself into." He then walked back towards the hut leaving the spluttering dog demon behind. Sango was gaping at Harry, while Miroku was staring in awe.

Kikyo sidled up to Inuyasha and gave him a knowing look. She didn't comment on the action instead bestowing him with a simple, "I like him."

For some reason that made Inuyasha splutter even more.
