Chapter 14
Confessions
'Where are we?' I had asked. He had covered my eyes at the looks of it a random part of the castle. I could feel his warm breath on my human neck, and was happy to know, the no demonic side of me screamed at me to turn around and kill him.
He opened his hands over my eyes. I didn't understand how this room could exist.
Roses were everywhere, windows the showed the moon and stars, and a beautiful mirror. I walked up to the mirror, I looked at it shocked.
I was there. But Harry, who was on the other side of the room at a large balcony, was standing beside me with his arm on my shoulder. He, we looked happy. I looked over, he wasn't actually standing there. Along with Harry was my friends, and sister and family all smiling. And the last person in the back was…'Kiyoto'.
I swirled in my own memory, to remember him. Kikyo's son. Though she had never had a mate the magic had been so powerful, that when my mother got pregnant, the bonds between her and Kikyo played their part. The day Kagome had me and Kayla, Kiyoto and Kazumitsu were born.
They matched Kayla and I. Because my mother shared Kikyo's soul, Kiyoto and I theoretically shared one as well…
But he was angry. He rarely smiled. He saw that I was his, by right. I had agreed at the time, but what he would do if he found out my new feelings…
A hand came wrapping around mine, I stupidly thought it was Kiyoto. But this hand was soft, and gentle and warm. The opposite of Kiyoto's.
'That mirror shows what ever we want. The deepest of what we want.' Harry whispered, 'I see my family all standing around me. And other things.' He laughed. Pulling me towards the window.
Suddenly I realized where I was, a friend of mine I had met when he was traveling told me ' Hey! This is the unknowable Room! A house elf told me about it.' Thinking of the funny little house elf.
'Really? Could that house elf by chance be named Dobby?' Harry asked slyly. I smiled. I missed the little house elf, but Dobby was his name. so I nodded.
'Dobby was traveling around America for the summer looking for temporary work about two years back. I needed help with a job so I offered him 50 dollars a day.' I nodded with a smile. ' He cried for an hour saying it was to much, and that five dollars was all he would take. ' I laughed at the memory ' He was a great help. I miss him.'
We stood there for a moment just looking at the stars. 'Okay, I'm still worried you've finally snapped.' I said mock-scared, Harry laughed loudly. It echoed gently around the room.
' Yeah, I just thought that Ron seeing you half naked was enough, I didn't want him to walk in on a conversation he had no right to be a part of. Besides maybe while we're gone he and Hermione will make up, or him and Lavender will make out..' He sighed. I knew he was concerned about Ron and Hermione getting together and how he didn't want Lavender to be with Ron anymore. I rubbed him arm closest to me.
'Maybe' I said. A gentle smile crossed Harry' face. He seemed to be deliberating on something. 'What?' I asked gently. I looked in the window the reflected Harry and I like ghosts, still see through able to see through us. I saw the window-Harry's eyes shift to me. I looked back at him. Even now his eyes shocked and excited me. I knew the look in his eyes and what they were saying. Even though I wasn't demon at the moment it worried me.
' You'll change you're mind when I'm half demon Harry. ' I said pulling away slightly. Remembering what every single doubt my demonic side had about him.
Rain start to drip down again the window, somehow it was even more beautiful raining then the stars being out.
'No I won't. No matter what you tell yourself.' Harry said strongly. Taking my hand 'Come on InuYasha, think. If I didn't want to be around you as a half demon would I be with you every single time you were? Actually, would I have been your friend at all if I cared?' Harry asked menacingly. I knew what he as getting at, and I didn't like to play games.
'Are you always attracted to dangerous girls? Or is The Chosen One have a death wish?' I asked laughing.
His face whitened. Looking away from me his eyes glazed over. Crap, I screwed up. 'I'm sorry.' I whispered, and hugged him. He hugged me back. But never like this.
I pressed against him with no room to spare, his arms locking arms on my waist and back. Blushing I pulled my face away from the side of his head. His eyes were closed, ' what's wrong?' going forehead to forehead.
He smiled, but gently, as if he found it ironic ' I feel like I couldn't wake up tomorrow, I know it sounds stupid. Considering I'm saying it to the greatest fight of all time.' He chuckled at himself.
I closed my eyes, he thought he was stupid. I opened my eyes again, he was struggling to say something. 'InuYasha…'
'No!' I screamed pulling away from him, 'No! no! NO! Don't say what I think you're going to say Harry! Don't do it! I can't say it back! I just CAN'T! please…'I dropped to the floor. I knew what he was going to say. I'm never falling into the trap of love…
He kneeled in front me forcing me to look at him in his beautiful green eyes.' Why not?' He said in a gentle, light voice.
I melted. How the hell could this happen! 'I'm… scared…' I mumbled ' about what would happen when I'm half demon again.'
Harry shrugged. 'Doesn't matter.' I blinked the sat up leaning forward so he leaned back.
'You don't care if you die!' I bellowed. 'Or I leave you because I don't want you anymore!' I shook with anger at myself.
'I can think of worse ways to go…' He trailed off. I walked over to the shelves of numerous human items I did not know. On the middle shelf right before my eyes I saw it, the unknowable room gave us what we needed. Did I need this?
It had black beads like my fathers domination necklace. Only this one looked like a choker, and there was only ten beads, the rest was just silver chain.
Storing it in my pocket I turned back to Harry. Who was looking out of the window looking hurt but with a smile ' I guess I knew the chances of this, Hermione guessed and told me why I couldn't be with you. I just didn't think I'd care if you said no.' He looked like he thought himself a complete idiot and turned to walk out. Head hung low. A feeling of terrifying grief washed over me.
'What are you doing?' I asked in a high pitched voice.
Harry turned back to me halfway across the room and said with a smile so big his eyes were closed ' I don't need a room like this anymore.' And turned to walk out.
'I love you!' A second voice rang after he turned around ad took a step towards the door 'Please please don't leave.'
My body got very cold then very hot. I'm sure Harry could feel the heat coming off my face. I stood there stunned at the realisation that I had just said…Hot tears stung my face.
Harry spun around to see my scarlet face glowing. 'What? What did you say?' His green eyes grew wide. I didn't answer I was glued to the spot.
He walked toward me then stopped, wiping a tear away with his fingers. Then brushed the same hand on his lips deep in thought. There was a bright blush on his face, but he looked cool and collected ' Oh.' was all he said.
I felt myself heat up with fear, anger and, stupidity. I gripped the necklace that I thought I would have to put on. I stood there with my head held high, thinking off all the things I wanted t say, some of them the most gushiest things I could think of and others the meanest. I shut my eyes so he wouldn't have to see the wave of rejection.
There was a soft feeling on my lips the next moment. It was warm and gentle, but somehow possessing. Harry's hot breath begged for entrance. Opening my lips a fraction I felt his arms grab me by the waist, being gentle I pushed ever so slightly back.
Feeling his hot breath was exhilarating. I had never kissed anyone before, other then family. But I didn't think that I would ever feel somebody's tongue race across their bottom lip. I shook, the animal within me, which I thought was part of my demonic ways, screamed never to let go.
We were on the ground all of the sudden. The cold stone was no awakening from my dream. I grabbed his head, I felt him smile. He must have known about the animal screaming at me somehow, I'd have to thank a certain bushy haired girl…
My breath got rigid, his mouth opened more, only to happy to comply. Then we fought for dominance. I giggled internally at Ron, and how I had yelled at him for doing this in front of people with Lavender. But this was defiantly more private. Because un like him, I was defiantly restraining myself.
Gripping Harry's back I reluctantly pulled away. With a moan Harry opened his eyes and looked as sad as I felt. Maybe I looked that way too, But I had to get him to do something first.
'Put this on me.' I said pulling out the necklace ' Hermione must have told you what this is.' I smirked.
His face heated up. 'I don't want to be your dominator! I just want to be with you.' I laughed as I shove the necklace in his hand.
'Same thing, you don't have to use the "Sit" spell, I'm just showing people I'm committed.' With his reluctant eyes never taken off of me he connected the latch around my neck and it melted away, seamlessly around my neck. With a smile he kissed the necklace, and then met my lips again, but this time it was so soft and sweet I could of melt, then gently he pulled away and whispered in my ear ' I love you too.'
I crawled into bed silently, it was past midnight and everyone was asleep, well everyone except for-
'What took you so long?' asked Hermione, who was sitting in bed looking at me with a smile, though tear tracks down her face. ' Were you with Harry?' He added raising an eyebrow.
'N-Yes' I changed my answer in mid sentence because she'd just ask Harry in the morning. 'We went to the unknowable room and talked.' I said nodding, I didn't have to tell her everything, what I said wasn't a lie.
'Huh. Oh, your mother made an announcement about Demonica, We going to have a ball. Formal. Oh! I haven't been in a ball since the Yule Ball!' She finished blushing at the memory's. I smiled. Demonica was a party holiday. With dancing and music, and a hero opens the ball with is dance partner, the hero who helped that time… I smiled, those parties were crazy, and now it'd be even better with someone to go with…
' Hogsmeades is next weekend! We'll go shopping for dresses!' Squealed Hermione. Oh great, Shopping.
I was walking down the dark street human, trench coat and converses, when I suddenly caught something in the corner of my eye. I screamed and ran for it, somehow knowing what it was.
I hit a dead end. Banging on the brick walls I heard a gentle laugh. Spinning around I saw them, Kiyoto and Kousei
. Somehow both more beautiful, dark circles laid under the blue and brown eyes. ' She loved him…' Said Kousei in a distant voice. My back pressed farther into the wall, 'But she was mine…' said Kiyoto.
'He loves me!' I screamed at him, shaking. Kiyoto smiled gently.
'He loves you not…' Kousei said purred, 'Kagome was intended for my father Koga you are mine, now…'
I screamed as they walked towards me. Kousei disappeared, I felt a slash around me, suddenly I was mostly naked my clothing in shreds, as Kiyoto said 'sit' and I found myself smash unable to move on the ground, even though I was Harry's. They laughed as the leaned down to me. Pain erupted at the pit stomach, screaming I wanted them to stop and never letting go of my arms and legs. Holding me still I couldn't escape the sick things they were doing to me.
'InuYasha! What do you think?' Hermione asked. Bring me back from my dream, waking me up from my nightmare instantly. I was leaning on the wall using leather jacket as a pillow.
'Umm… That's the one.' I said dully, I was so bored and she wanted me to try stuff out next.
'You've said that for the last five dresses!' Hermione exclaimed. I was alone with her Kayla disappeared before we left and Steph was sick, so Shi was with her.
'Because you looked great in all of them.' I smiled that was a good friend thing to say. ' Who are you going with anyway?' I asked as I put on my jacket.
Hermione stood straight ' Dumbledore is inviting the school's that took part in the TriWizard Tournament. One of my friends is taking me. You're right I think this is it.' Nodding she scurried into the change room, sky blue silk following her trail. 'Who are you going with?' she said as she changed.
I took a relaxed stance ' My boyfriend.' I smiled Harry and I never told anyone that we were together, but instead took our alone times with glee.
'You have a boyfriend!' Hermione's head popped out from on top of the changing room door, 'Who?' She said raising an eyebrow.
I shook my head 'You'll find out at the Demonica.' I pulled the one dress I knew I wanted and tried it on to show her, silky gold, strapless, ivory beading on the top.
'Merlin's beard that's it!' Hermione jumped up. The tailor took twenty minutes to tailor our gowns, then we trudged up to the Three Broomsticks where Harry Ron and Mitch were all sitting drinking.
'How's it going?' asked Harry, I groaned. 'That bad huh?' He smirked. I rolled my eyes, Every single girl that walked in seemed to have a dress, And every single girl seemed to be talking about who they wanted to bring, I was so busy looking around I didn't even notice a pretty girl with long hair come up and talk to Harry.
'Hey Harry… umm.. The Demonica Dance is coming up.' Said the girl, 'I was wondering if you wanted to go….with me…' The girl blushed, Harry didn't. I was visited by the urge to grab her by the neck and throw her across the pub.
Harry smiled gratefully ' Sorry Cho, I'm already going with my girlfriend.' I smiled evilly. ha,ha I thought. Pretending to laugh at Ron's stupid joke I maybe laughed a little to wildly.
As the week went on towards girls upon girls were asking Harry out testing my patience, finally Friday I landed up getting my revenge. Tripping Romilda Vane down a small stair case, when I was stuck in the crowd. I walked off with Hermione's glares following me.
