Chapter 5, The Student Of Four Houses
******************************************************************
Before you read anything I want you all to know that this chapter would have been out this morning but something freaky was happening with ff.net..AGAIN
*******************************************************************
Authors Note: I would like to address the fact that I've gotten a lot of scorn because of the way that I've portrayed Inuyasha in this story.
Well I'm sorry I really do like Inuyasha BUT this IS NOT an Inu/ Kag fic so I had to find some way to get rid of Inu and to force Kagome to leave and I would NEVER kill Inuyasha THAT WOULD KILL ME which leaves me with making him a jerk.
So if hate what I've done so much THEN DON'T READ IT.
Theirs enough Inu/ Kag fics out there already after a while you get bored of reading the same thing.
Also I've decided that this will no longer be a Harry/ Kagome fic (*runs away screaming at the angry glares*) this will now be (thanks to someone's idea in a review they didn't sign any sort of name but THANKS YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE..well at least I hope you do o.O) a Midnight/ Kagome fic Buwahahahaha I've been thinking about this all weekend and while it sounds retarded now I think this is gonna be REALLY cool SO STAY TUNED!!!
One last thing while this might be kinda funky, the way I'm gonna ask my beta reader (E.L.E.G.A.N.T. (sorry I spelled that wrong earlier)) to check over my stories is that when ever I add a new chapter I should be updating the last chapter with the proper punctuation/ grammar/ spelling/ everything else I do wrong.
It will be working this way because I write these chapters in the middle of the night and I post them as soon as there done because of the fact that I always forget and put it off if I don't post them right them..that or they get deleted (*glares at her brothers*).
So you now have a choice you can read the chapters as there posted or you can read them 1 to 2 to 3 days later after they've been gone over and reposted.
Thanks,
Hinoke

***On The Hogwarts Express***
****Kagome's Point Of View****
A few hours later I woke up feeling stiff from sleeping on the train bench.
As I sat up I looked out the window and realized that it was dark.
--"Wow I most of been really tired"-- I thought.
Just then someone knocked on the door to my compartment.
A girl with a badge that had a P on it opened the door.
"We'll be arriving at Hogwarts in 10 minutes" she said,
"You'll be wanting to put your robes on"
After that she closed the door.
Listening I could hear her knocking on the compartment next to mine.
I shrugged and stood up.
Midnight was lying on the bench across from mine looking at me.
I smiled and reached down to pet him (IF ONLY YOU KNEW!!!) straightening back up I walked over to my trunk and flipped it open.
After a little bit of digging I finally came across my robes.
Pulling them out I looked at them wondering what color would end up lining the edges.
Would it be the maroon of Gryffindor, or maybe the green of Slytherin?
Shaking my head I tried to ignore any thoughts of being placed in a house and concentrate on getting dressed.
(And for all you perves out there she's putting the robes on OVER her clothes she's NOT stripping in front of midnight GET YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER PEOPLE!!!)
A few minutes later I was dressed and ready.
--"Just in time"--I thought as the train pulled to a stop.
Picking up midnight for comfort I walked out of my compartment and got off the train.
Once I got outside I ended up being caught up in a swarm of kids.
Looking up I saw two different lanterns.
Holding one of the lanterns was a giant man who's face seemed to be almost completely covered in wild unbrushed hair.
"FIRST YEARS THIS WAY"
He called in a load deep rumbling voice.
I took a hesitant step in that direction
--Was I a first year? -- I thought.
I was about to walk over to the giant of a man when suddenly from the direction of the other lantern I heard a voice call
"KAGOME, KAGOME HIGURASHI"
Looking up I walked over towards the second lantern.
Holding it up was a severe looking woman with glasses and a tight bun.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi" I said.
The woman looked me up and down.
"very well" she said "come with me".
*******************************************************************
(CRACKERS I JUST SPILLED JUICE EVERYWHERE !!! *bangs her head against the wall* BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!)
**Outside The Great Hall**
**Still Kagome's Point Of View**
I nervously looked at the door.
The door that happened to be the only thing that separated me from the fate of my future.
Hearing voices and shuffling feet I turned around to see a group of about twenty, eleven year olds.
Leading the group was the severe looking woman - Professor McGonagall.
--"So that's where she went"--I thought.
Professor McGonagall brought the group to a stop in front of a door all of the kids where giving me, almost scared looks.
A younger boy with blonde hair and big green eyes raised his hand.
"Yes" asked the professor.
"U-u-umm" he stuttered
"Is this going to be a t-t-test?"
"A-a-are we going to have to defeat this girl to enter the h-h-hall and join a h-h-house" He asked pointing at me.
"Of course not!" professor McGonagall snapped.
"She is also here waiting to be sorted into a house, the same as you".
The boy gulped and shrank back, then let out a sigh of relief.
Watching this I started to chuckle, that is until the professor turned to look at me.
"Kagome" She said
"I will be leading this group of first years into the great hall."
"I want you to stay here until they are all sorted."
" I will call your name when it's time for you to enter."
And with that she looked over her shoulder called "follow me", opened the door and walked into the great hall.
I was watching the younger kid's file out through the door when I saw the boy that had asked if they would have to fight me.
As he walked past me I put a hand on his shoulder and smiled "good luck" I said and winked.
He gave me a nervous smile
"You too" he said before walking through the door to what ever awaited him.
The last first year walked past and pulled the doorknob to close the door.
Maybe it was nerves or maybe the kid just wasn't paying attention, because they failed to close the door all the way.
Sneaking over to the door I looked out the crack between the door and the door frame.
Feeling something nudge my foot I looked down and saw midnight also watching out the crack in the door.
Shaking my head I looked back through the crack.
Professor McGonagall was holding up a piece parchment.
"Iein McAlester" she called.
The little boy from earlier nervously stepped forward and walked over to a stool with an old patched hat place on it.
Picking up the hat he put it on his head.
My jaw dropped as one of the rips on the hat opened up like a mouth and it started to talk "Hmm where to place, where to place you" It said.
"I think it will have to be.. GRYFFINDOR !!!"
The Gryffindor table started cheering and clapping as Iein pulled off the hat and walked over to his new house.
**********************************************************************
Fifteen minutes later found me leaning up against a wall with my eyes closed.
I jumped when something suddenly stepped on my foot.
I looked down to see midnight tapping my foot with his paw.
After seeing that he had my attention he walked back to the door.
I followed him and looked out the crack to see that the last student had just been sorted.
I gulped and listened as Professor McGonagall started to talk.
"Before we eat," she said.
"We have one more student that needs to be sorted."
"Now this student isn't a regular student, for while it is her first year at Hogwarts she will be starting as a 7th year."
After that comment whispering broke out all over the hall, Professor McGonagall raised her voice "QUITE" she boomed.
"Now as I was saying she will be starting as a 7th year. She will also be taking private lessons with professor Dumbledore,"
"Kagome Higurashi" Professor McGonagall called.
Taking in a deep breath I opened the door and walked into the great hall.
As soon as I entered the whispering started up, even louder then last time.
"She most be really powerful to be starting as a 7th year"
"I know and to think she's having PRIVATE lessons with Dumbledore she most be some sort of freak of nature"
"I don't care how much of a freak she is look at how pretty she is!".
I tried to block out what they were all saying as I walked up to the stool picked up the hat sat down and stuck the hat on my head.
"So what have we here?" asked a little voice inside my head.
"Well it seems-" then suddenly the voice cut off.
After about 10 seconds of quite the hat suddenly started screaming a loud ear-piercing scream.
I yanked the hat off my head and dropped it while hastily standing up.
Just as suddenly as it had started screaming it stopped.
But started up again by shouting,
"THIS GIRL IS IN DANGER! BOTH SHE AND HER POWER ARE SEEKED BY THE DARKEST OF LORDS, LORD-"
The hat was cut off as it suddenly burst into flames.
The hall was so shocked and silent, that everyone caught the last whispered words of the withering sorting hat.
"keep her safe...one of the students of four houses".
And with those last words the hat turned to ash's.
************************************************************************
***Still Kagomes Point Of View***
Feeling drained and confused I kneeled down on the ground.
I listened as the erie silence that had hung over the hall was suddenly broken by everyone talking at the same time.
Blocking it out I rested my head against my knee.
Foot steps approached where I was kneeling on the ground but they suddenly stopped.
Just like it had started the noise also suddenly stopped.
Looking up I saw midnight standing in front of me.
What really surprised me about this was that midnight was glowing.
He was glowing the same color of dark blue as his eyes and the tip of his tail.
The glowing blue light surrounded him then grew outward to the point that it formed a circular barrier between the two of us.
When Professor McGonagall pulled out her wand and said a spell that sounded like it supposed was to break the barrier it simply bounced off.
She gasped
"How is that possible" she seemed to ask know one in general.
Professor Dumbledore stepped up and kneeled down so that he was closer to the eye level of midnight.
"Please release your barrier"
Dumbledore said
"We have no intention on hurting her, infact we hope to help her."
Midnight looked at Dumbledore for a full minute before slowly letting the glowing barrier drop.
"Thank you" said Dumbledore.
He then looked past midnight, and at me.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
I nodded and stood up "I'm fine" I said.
He nodded "for now I ask that you go sit down at the Gryffindor table"
"Ok" I said, I then looked down "midnight are you coming?" I asked
Midnight nodded and followed me as I walked towards the Gryffindor table.
As I walked towards the assigned table everybody's eyes and conversations followed me.
Looking for an empty seat I saw someone wave me over.
Looking closer I realized it was Ginny from Diagon Alley.
Relieved to see a familiar face I quickly walked to where she was sitting.
Ginny smiled as I sat down next to her "well you certainly have the school excited" she said.
"That Ginny would be the understatement of a life time"
Said a older boy with red hair sitting across from her.
Ginny rolled her eyes at him "oh by the way Kagome" she said,
"this is my older annoying brother Ron".
Ron stuck out his hand,
"It's a pleasure to meet you" he said.
"Well Ginny arn't you going to introduce us to?" asked a girl with brown bushy hair that was sitting on the other side of Ginny.
I watched as Ginny blushed "of course" she said.
"Kagome this is Hermione Granger" she said as she pointed at the girl with the bushy hair.
"And this" she said pointing to a boy sitting across from Hermione "is Harry Potter".
I looked at him, he had black hair and dark green eyes (Ha in my story he has contacts!!!).
He smiled "it's nice to meet you" he said as he stuck out his hand.
I smiled back "same here" I said as I took his hand.
Midnight who was sitting on the bench next to me growled.
Surprised I dropped Harry's hand and looked down to see why he was growling.
Looking back at me midnight just blinked.
I shuck my head and shrugged my shoulders then went back to talking with the four friends.
***************************************************************************
15 minutes later Dumbledore stood up and clapped his hands.
Startled I looked up from my conversation I was having with Harry about some odd sport name Qudditch.
"If I may have your attention" started Dumbledore
"I will give you some information one what has just transpired here, knowing that if I don't tell you you'll find out anyways"
He seemed to be looking at Harry when he said that.
"This mainly has to do with the legend of The Student Of Four Houses"
"As I'm sure you all know this school was founded by four of the greatest wizards and witches in history, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw"
"Now what you don't know is that the four founders were constantly bickering as to what qualities they wanted in students attending their school"
"Gryffindor wanted those that were brave of heart and spirit"
"Hufflepuff only wanted those who where kind and pure through and through"
"Slytherin wanted all there students to be young witches and wizards with a thirst for power and a want to prove themselves"
"And Ravenclaw insisted that the only students worth taking in were those with a mind and willingness to learn"
"The frightening went on for years until a wizard by the name of Adolph Limoges came along"
"Adolph Limoges was the greatest physic to ever live and was also a very intelligent man."
"So upon hearing of the massive problem he decided to put an end to it"
"Arriving at Hogwarts Adolph gathered the four founders and told them two things,"
"The first was one that changed Hogwarts forever,"
"He told them to spilt the school into four different houses"
"Each of the four governing their own house and choosing their students accordingly"
"There for making sure that all the qualities important in the wizarding world would still be in the school."
"The second thing he told them was something that COULD change Hogwarts forever"
"He told them that someday there would be two students who attend their school,"
"Two students with a great power, a power great enough to change the world to there own pleasure be that good or evil"
"These students he told them of would be not of one house but all the houses."
"They would have combined in them all the qualities that each of the different founders looked so hard to find in there students"
"He said that when these two students attended Hogwarts that times would change and the balance of evil in the world would drastically tip."
"For good or for evil depended on the school and if they managed to keep these two students out of the clutch's of evil."
"And hence goes the legend, also it appears that one of the students of four houses has appeared."
*****************************************************************
(Just be glade that I'm not ending the chapter there.ON WITH THE STORY..if I don't fall asleep -.-')
I sat there looking at Dumbledore.
--"Am I really that important?"-- I thought,
-- And if I am where's the second student of four houses??? --.
I snapped out of my thoughts as Dumbledore started talking again.
"Since Kagome is a student of four houses you can all think of her as a member of your house, though I would like her to stay in the Gryffindor chambers"
"Also on a happier note" Dumbledore started up again
"The ministry of magic has decided that young wizards and witches should be exposed to more magical sports"
"Which is why we have restarted a school archery team, this team will be made up of members from all the different houses and will compete against other schools."
"Also starting this year all students year 2 and up, are required to try out for the quidditch team,"
"NOW LETS EAT!"
As he sat down food appeared on all the plates and the other students dug in.
*****************************************************************
After the dinner I followed my new friends up to the Gryffindor common room.
"You'll be staying in the same room as I'm in" Hermione said after they had said good night to the guys.
I nodded and followed Hermione as we walked up the stairs towards are room.
Once we got to the top of the stairs Hermione turned to open a door, inside where six beds with velvet drapes.
I found the bed with my trunk in front of it and collapsed.
While closing my eyes and saying goodnight to Hermione and midnight I thought about how pathetic it was that this was the second night in a row that I was falling asleep in my clothes...
*****************************************************************
*****Kagome's Dream*****
I was once again in the room where I had talked to Naraku.
Looking around I saw I was alone except for midnight..
. "--MIDNIGHT! What was he doing here--" I shouted.
Midnight just looked at me then looked at the door, he started to growl when Naraku walked in.
He looked at me "Kagome my dear" he said "I wasn't specking you so soon" "what a pleasant surprise".
Midnight growled louder causing Naraku to look over at him.
"How did you get here?" Naraku asked midnight.
"Well I certainly know how your leaving" Naraku said.
When he threatening started to walk towards midnight, midnight started to glow blue again.
For the second time that night I ended up surrounded by midnight's glowing blue barrier.
Naraku looked surprise, but he then started to laugh.
"I would find your antics almost funny Jesse, but only if they weren't keeping me from Kagome."
I looked at Naraku
"Why did you call him Jesse?" I asked.
Naraku smirked "someday you just might find out."
He then attacked Jesse's barrier, only to not be able to penetrate.
Naraku looked at midnight
"Well it seems that you have learned how to use your powers as a fox."
"But we really cannot have that so I will have to return you back to your other form."
I looked back in forth between Naraku and midnight confused as to what was happening.
Naraku suddenly started a chant then blasted an intense bright power at midnight.
When the light cleared the barrier was gone and standing in midnight's place was a boy who looked to be about 19.
His medium length hair was black to the point that it tented blue.
"--The blue tent certainly highlight's his blue eyes--" I thought,
"--Infact he's eyes are almost the same color as mine--".
Shaking my head I looked at him again and took note of his height.
He had to be at least 6'2 and he was built as well.
Looking back at Naraku I saw him walking towards me.
Before I could run he walked up to me and chanted a few words.
When he was done I couldn't move anything but my eyes.
Looking over at..Jesse was it?
I noticed that he was having the same problem.
Naraku laughed "you see Jesse you are now once again helpless."
I watched as Jesse's eyes seemed to burn a whole into Narakus face.
I turned my attention back to Naraku as he grabbed my face.
Naraku wasn't even looking at me, he was keeping all his attention on Jesse.
Finally turning his attention back to me Naraku smiled again.
"I have good news for you Kagome" he said.
"Now that I've gotten rid of that little obstacle" he nodded his head in Jesse's direction.
"I can tell you why I brought you here."
He took a step closer to me.
"You see you have power and I want that power, along with that power I want you as well, which I have decided to make you my queen."
He then crushed his lips to mine.
I tried to struggle out of his hold but I still couldn't move.
I had just about given up hope when something happened that Naraku hadn't counted on.
Jesse let out a roar of anger and managed to break Naraku's hold on him.
Before I even had time to blink Jesse pulled out a sword that I hadn't seen was attached to his waist and ran Naraku through.
The image of Naraku flickered, before disappearing to only leave behind a piece of wood, which had been cut in half.
"Kuso" It said,
"It was only a puppet."
Jesse nodded then turned to look at me.
"Kagome are you ok?" he asked with concern thick in his voice.
I smiled weakly,
"About as ok as anyone else would be if they had seen their pet fox turn into a guy, then end up being told by the guy that they hate most that their going to be his queen."
Jesse chuckled
"Well I can still turn into a fox if that would make you feel better."
I suddenly looked at Jesse a lot closer then gasped,
"Your a kitsune arn't you?"
Jesse nodded,
"Anyways I don't know about you but I want to get out of here" He said
"I can share that feeling" I said.
"Ok then take my hand" said Jesse.
Curious I took his hand and watched as he started to glow blue...
*****End Dream*****
I bolted up into a sitting position.
Shaking I looked around only to see the drapes of my bed, realizing that I was still at Hogwarts and that it had just been a bad dream I relaxed.
Smiling I shook my head,
"--Midnight turning into a cute guy, how could that be anything but a dream--".
Yawning I lay back down turning onto my side to go to sleep.
I slowly closed my eyes only to then suddenly open them.
Gasping I looked into Jesse's eyes as he leaned against the wall breathing heavily.

"She most be really powerful to be starting as a 7th year"
"I know and to think she's having PRIVATE lessons with Dumbledore she most be some sort of freak of nature"
"I don't care how much of a freak she is look at how pretty she is!".
I tried to block out what they were all saying as I walked up to the stool picked up the hat sat down and stuck the hat on my head.
"So what have we here?" asked a little voice inside my head.
"Well it seems-" then suddenly the voice cut off.
After about 10 seconds of quite the hat suddenly started screaming a loud ear-piercing scream.
I yanked the hat off my head and dropped it while hastily standing up.
Just as suddenly as it had started screaming it stopped.
But started up again by shouting,
"THIS GIRL IS IN DANGER! BOTH SHE AND HER POWER ARE SEEKED BY THE DARKEST OF LORDS, LORD-"
The hat was cut off as it suddenly burst into flames.
The hall was so shocked and silent, that everyone caught the last whispered words of the withering sorting hat.
"keep her safe...one of the students of four houses".
And with those last words the hat turned to ash's.
************************************************************************
***Still Kagomes Point Of View***
Feeling drained and confused I kneeled down on the ground.
I listened as the erie silence that had hung over the hall was suddenly broken by everyone talking at the same time.
Blocking it out I rested my head against my knee.
Foot steps approached where I was kneeling on the ground but they suddenly stopped.
Just like it had started the noise also suddenly stopped.
Looking up I saw midnight standing in front of me.
What really surprised me about this was that midnight was glowing.
He was glowing the same color of dark blue as his eyes and the tip of his tail.
The glowing blue light surrounded him then grew outward to the point that it formed a circular barrier between the two of us.
When Professor McGonagall pulled out her wand and said a spell that sounded like it supposed was to break the barrier it simply bounced off.
She gasped
"How is that possible" she seemed to ask know one in general.
Professor Dumbledore stepped up and kneeled down so that he was closer to the eye level of midnight.
"Please release your barrier"
Dumbledore said
"We have no intention on hurting her, infact we hope to help her."
Midnight looked at Dumbledore for a full minute before slowly letting the glowing barrier drop.
"Thank you" said Dumbledore.
He then looked past midnight, and at me.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
I nodded and stood up "I'm fine" I said.
He nodded "for now I ask that you go sit down at the Gryffindor table"
"Ok" I said, I then looked down "midnight are you coming?" I asked
Midnight nodded and followed me as I walked towards the Gryffindor table.
As I walked towards the assigned table everybody's eyes and conversations followed me.
Looking for an empty seat I saw someone wave me over.
Looking closer I realized it was Ginny from Diagon Alley.
Relieved to see a familiar face I quickly walked to where she was sitting.
Ginny smiled as I sat down next to her "well you certainly have the school excited" she said.
"That Ginny would be the understatement of a life time"
Said a older boy with red hair sitting across from her.
Ginny rolled her eyes at him "oh by the way Kagome" she said,
"this is my older annoying brother Ron".
Ron stuck out his hand,
"It's a pleasure to meet you" he said.
"Well Ginny arn't you going to introduce us to?" asked a girl with brown bushy hair that was sitting on the other side of Ginny.
I watched as Ginny blushed "of course" she said.
"Kagome this is Hermione Granger" she said as she pointed at the girl with the bushy hair.
"And this" she said pointing to a boy sitting across from Hermione "is Harry Potter".
I looked at him, he had black hair and dark green eyes (Ha in my story he has contacts!!!).
He smiled "it's nice to meet you" he said as he stuck out his hand.
I smiled back "same here" I said as I took his hand.
Midnight who was sitting on the bench next to me growled.
Surprised I dropped Harry's hand and looked down to see why he was growling.
Looking back at me midnight just blinked.
I shuck my head and shrugged my shoulders then went back to talking with the four friends.
***************************************************************************
15 minutes later Dumbledore stood up and clapped his hands.
Startled I looked up from my conversation I was having with Harry about some odd sport name Qudditch.
"If I may have your attention" started Dumbledore
"I will give you some information one what has just transpired here, knowing that if I don't tell you you'll find out anyways"
He seemed to be looking at Harry when he said that.
"This mainly has to do with the legend of The Student Of Four Houses"
"As I'm sure you all know this school was founded by four of the greatest wizards and witches in history, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw"
"Now what you don't know is that the four founders were constantly bickering as to what qualities they wanted in students attending their school"
"Gryffindor wanted those that were brave of heart and spirit"
"Hufflepuff only wanted those who where kind and pure through and through"
"Slytherin wanted all there students to be young witches and wizards with a thirst for power and a want to prove themselves"
"And Ravenclaw insisted that the only students worth taking in were those with a mind and willingness to learn"
"The frightening went on for years until a wizard by the name of Adolph Limoges came along"
"Adolph Limoges was the greatest physic to ever live and was also a very intelligent man."
"So upon hearing of the massive problem he decided to put an end to it"
"Arriving at Hogwarts Adolph gathered the four founders and told them two things,"
"The first was one that changed Hogwarts forever,"
"He told them to spilt the school into four different houses"
"Each of the four governing their own house and choosing their students accordingly"
"There for making sure that all the qualities important in the wizarding world would still be in the school."
"The second thing he told them was something that COULD change Hogwarts forever"
"He told them that someday there would be two students who attend their school,"
"Two students with a great power, a power great enough to change the world to there own pleasure be that good or evil"
"These students he told them of would be not of one house but all the houses."
"They would have combined in them all the qualities that each of the different founders looked so hard to find in there students"
"He said that when these two students attended Hogwarts that times would change and the balance of evil in the world would drastically tip."
"For good or for evil depended on the school and if they managed to keep these two students out of the clutch's of evil."
"And hence goes the legend, also it appears that one of the students of four houses has appeared."
*****************************************************************
(Just be glade that I'm not ending the chapter there.ON WITH THE STORY..if I don't fall asleep -.-')
I sat there looking at Dumbledore.
--"Am I really that important?"-- I thought,
-- And if I am where's the second student of four houses??? --.
I snapped out of my thoughts as Dumbledore started talking again.
"Since Kagome is a student of four houses you can all think of her as a member of your house, though I would like her to stay in the Gryffindor chambers"
"Also on a happier note" Dumbledore started up again
"The ministry of magic has decided that young wizards and witches should be exposed to more magical sports"
"Which is why we have restarted a school archery team, this team will be made up of members from all the different houses and will compete against other schools."
"Also starting this year all students year 2 and up, are required to try out for the quidditch team,"
"NOW LETS EAT!"
As he sat down food appeared on all the plates and the other students dug in.
*****************************************************************
After the dinner I followed my new friends up to the Gryffindor common room.
"You'll be staying in the same room as I'm in" Hermione said after they had said good night to the guys.
I nodded and followed Hermione as we walked up the stairs towards are room.
Once we got to the top of the stairs Hermione turned to open a door, inside where six beds with velvet drapes.
I found the bed with my trunk in front of it and collapsed.
While closing my eyes and saying goodnight to Hermione and midnight I thought about how pathetic it was that this was the second night in a row that I was falling asleep in my clothes...
*****************************************************************
*****Kagome's Dream*****
I was once again in the room where I had talked to Naraku.
Looking around I saw I was alone except for midnight..
. "--MIDNIGHT! What was he doing here--" I shouted.
Midnight just looked at me then looked at the door, he started to growl when Naraku walked in.
He looked at me "Kagome my dear" he said "I wasn't specking you so soon" "what a pleasant surprise".
Midnight growled louder causing Naraku to look over at him.
"How did you get here?" Naraku asked midnight.
"Well I certainly know how your leaving" Naraku said.
When he threatening started to walk towards midnight, midnight started to glow blue again.
For the second time that night I ended up surrounded by midnight's glowing blue barrier.
Naraku looked surprise, but he then started to laugh.
"I would find your antics almost funny Jesse, but only if they weren't keeping me from Kagome."
I looked at Naraku
"Why did you call him Jesse?" I asked.
Naraku smirked "someday you just might find out."
He then attacked Jesse's barrier, only to not be able to penetrate.
Naraku looked at midnight
"Well it seems that you have learned how to use your powers as a fox."
"But we really cannot have that so I will have to return you back to your other form."
I looked back in forth between Naraku and midnight confused as to what was happening.
Naraku suddenly started a chant then blasted an intense bright power at midnight.
When the light cleared the barrier was gone and standing in midnight's place was a boy who looked to be about 19.
His medium length hair was black to the point that it tented blue.
"--The blue tent certainly highlight's his blue eyes--" I thought,
"--Infact he's eyes are almost the same color as mine--".
Shaking my head I looked at him again and took note of his height.
He had to be at least 6'2 and he was built as well.
Looking back at Naraku I saw him walking towards me.
Before I could run he walked up to me and chanted a few words.
When he was done I couldn't move anything but my eyes.
Looking over at..Jesse was it?
I noticed that he was having the same problem.
Naraku laughed "you see Jesse you are now once again helpless."
I watched as Jesse's eyes seemed to burn a whole into Narakus face.
I turned my attention back to Naraku as he grabbed my face.
Naraku wasn't even looking at me, he was keeping all his attention on Jesse.
Finally turning his attention back to me Naraku smiled again.
"I have good news for you Kagome" he said.
"Now that I've gotten rid of that little obstacle" he nodded his head in Jesse's direction.
"I can tell you why I brought you here."
He took a step closer to me.
"You see you have power and I want that power, along with that power I want you as well, which I have decided to make you my queen."
He then crushed his lips to mine.
I tried to struggle out of his hold but I still couldn't move.
I had just about given up hope when something happened that Naraku hadn't counted on.
Jesse let out a roar of anger and managed to break Naraku's hold on him.
Before I even had time to blink Jesse pulled out a sword that I hadn't seen was attached to his waist and ran Naraku through.
The image of Naraku flickered, before disappearing to only leave behind a piece of wood, which had been cut in half.
"Kuso" It said,
"It was only a puppet."
Jesse nodded then turned to look at me.
"Kagome are you ok?" he asked with concern thick in his voice.
I smiled weakly,
"About as ok as anyone else would be if they had seen their pet fox turn into a guy, then end up being told by the guy that they hate most that their going to be his queen."
Jesse chuckled
"Well I can still turn into a fox if that would make you feel better."
I suddenly looked at Jesse a lot closer then gasped,
"Your a kitsune arn't you?"
Jesse nodded,
"Anyways I don't know about you but I want to get out of here" He said
"I can share that feeling" I said.
"Ok then take my hand" said Jesse.
Curious I took his hand and watched as he started to glow blue...
*****End Dream*****
I bolted up into a sitting position.
Shaking I looked around only to see the drapes of my bed, realizing that I was still at Hogwarts and that it had just been a bad dream I relaxed.
Smiling I shook my head,
"--Midnight turning into a cute guy, how could that be anything but a dream--".
Yawning I lay back down turning onto my side to go to sleep.
I slowly closed my eyes only to then suddenly open them.
Gasping I looked into Jesse's eyes as he leaned against the wall breathing heavily.
