^______________^

**********************************************

Got to hurry, got to hurry, got to hurry, got to hurry, got to hurry............. Kagome chanted in her head as she ran through the busy station.

Her last week at home had been interesting to say the least. Her entire family were complete maniacs in excitment for her going to Hogwarts. During the chaos she had managed to do two things:

One being to find Sesshoumaru and have an fiery debate as to WHY he decided not to give her the interesting bit of useful information about him being her teacher for the the next YEAR was irrelevent to him.. and the fact the possesive wolf demon from five hundred years ago was still alive... and he KNEW about it.

Second being she went to the fuedal era to tell her friends of her happenings. Things had gone smoothly.. with the aid of twenty sits or so, to get everybody in agreement. Kagome had even found an way to bring Shippou with her through the well since she could very well leave him ALONE for the next year with an violent hanyou. She figured he could come along to Hogwarts for the letter she had received had said she could bring any animal with her as an pet. She didn't think of Shippou as an pet, but as her son, but he still WAS a fox, thus an animal. So he was absoulutely qualified to come.

Or so she told herself.

She doubted that any other students had an walking talking fox for an companion who had an mother-son relation with it for that matter.

Sighing she saw the wall for the 9 3/4 platform nearing as she took off at a run straight for it. Shippou sqeaked in surpise as they hit it, but no impact came instead they stood in an unseen boarding platform with an red steam engine to the right.

"What was that mama?" He asked still breathing shallowly.

Kagome smiled at him slightly as she heading for the train.

"Magic portal. Don't be afriad and remember and what I told you."

"Okay.." he mumbled as he grasped on to her shoulder with his eyes closed. Tossing an leaf on his head there was an small 'pop' before an tiny fox layed alert on her shouder no trace of an remotly human like apperance on him.

With an small secret smile she loaded her things aboard and walked down the aisle looking for her three friends' compartment.

As she went she saw appreciative looks of the male population following her and she faught down the need to blush as Shippou sniggered on her shoulder.

Shaking her head and grasping the necklace hidden under her shirt for reassurance Kagome glanced around looking for numbers to her friends' compartment.

********************************************

Draco sat in his compartment staring out the window, his expression unreadable.

Crabbe and Goyle had yet to get here so he was left alone in blissful silence that he couldn't be more glad for. The only downside was it left to much time for thoughts.

Thoughts of an particular woman named Kagome.

It had been three long weeks since he'd left and there wasn't one single DAY that he hadn't had an fleeting thought of her during that time. Draco had figured that with her gone it would ebb and dull his longing for her, only he couldn't have been more wrong. If anything... it had grown MORE if possible.

Letting out an undignified snort he pulled out an letter he had recieved from her last week.

Glancing at it and the neatly written scrawl and the faint fragrance of jasmine that was Kagome hung lightly on it, it immediately conjuring up an image of her in his mind.

The paper had been read so many times by him the edges were worn and finger marks were evident all over it.

He smirked as he played the words over in his memory, the lines memorized.

~~

Hi Draco!

How have you been? I can't believe summer break is almost over...! It was wonderful though don't you think? Last week I was shopping for school supplies and I ran in to some old friends too! We spent the day together and I met some rather new, interesting people that will be going to my new school! Well I hope you are doing well and don't let your nagging mother get you down to much! Will you write me back whenever you can? Well until next time, Bye!

With Love,

-Kagome

P.S. The necklace you gave me is beautiful and I'm wearing it everyday! It reminds me of you while your away!

~~

Letting his smirk fade slightly he thought back to the memories he had made this summer.

Draco was beginning to doubt what his father had told him over the years about muggles not deserving to learn magic.

Kagome represented everything he was suppose to despised..

So why could he not hate her?

Not hate her for her muggle blood? For being kind hearted and loving? for being.... being allowed to be whatever she wished ot be...?

He could not imagine to ever calling her an mudblood or anything of the sort. No matter how much he was taught in his childhood...

he loved her, as she did him... was that enough to change his entire world?

Draco shook his head his mouth rising to one of an sneer as he gazed out at the busy boarding docks where the students waved goodbye to family.

He shouldn't even be thinking aobut this. He wouldn't see her again for at least another year.. if even that early.

This year was going to be the same as any other.

He would go back to fighting Potter and his annoying friends, playing Quidditch and making every one else's life an living hell like his.

Suddenly the sound of the door slid open and his two 'friends' walking in as they smirked in an rather disgusting way.

"Hey Malfoy did you hear?" Crabbe asked plopping down across from him.

Malfoy sent him an chilling look asking

"What?"

"We have an new student." Goyle said eagerly "She's hot...!"

Malfoy scowled at their stupidty.

"Have YOU seen her?" He aske snidely.

"Er.... no.." Crabbe said.

"Well then how do you know she's 'hot'?"

"Blaise told us." Goyle added

"Figures. That pervert WOULD notice an pretty girl wouldn't he?" Malfoy snorted.

"Um.... do you want to go check her out......?" Crabbe said nervously.

Malfoy waved his hand in dismissal turning his attention to the window again.

"No. Do whatever you want. I don't care."

Two smirks crossed the oafs faces before they left. Draco heard the lound 'thumps' of their receded footsteps.

Draco's hopes for an decent schoolyear were already plummeting beyond hope.

**************************************************

Kagome grinned in anticipation as she finally spotted the number she was looking for.

"Ah-hah! Here it is!" She cheered silently.

Whispers erupted behind her and she caught snipes and peices of them.

"... That's Harry Potter's compartment...!"

"Do you think she's already his girlfriend....?"

"..I wonder who she is.........?"

Kagome turned to look at them, fighting down the blush at being the center of attention. Instead, an bright smile was fixtated on to her face as she happily said

"Hello. May I help you with something?"

Surprised expressions met her eyes as they all ducked within their own booths not saying anything.

Rolling her eyes she turned back and slid the door open with an cheery

"Hello There!"

She glanced around the room and found Hermione look up from her book, while Ron and Harry halted their heated discussion on, you guessed it: Quidditch.

"Hi Kagome!" Ron and Harry piqued.

"Hello Kagome.." Hermione said as Kagome closed the door behind her so no prying ears could hear what they said.

When she looked back she noticed all three of them looking at her curiously. Or rather the thing lounging on her shoulder.

"Kagome... is that an fox?" Hermione said in somewhat surprised tones.

"Yes.... in an way..." Kagome said mischeiviously.

She looked over at her son/fox and winked.

The kitsune bobbed its' head and suddenly the familiar 'pop' sounded and Shippo sat there again smiling at them while waving ecstactically.

"Hi! I'm Shippou!" He said happily.

They all gaped as Ron stuttered

"W-what is it?!!!"

"It talks?!!" Harry said incredously.

Hermione tsked at his obvious rudeness.

"Well for one.. he's not an 'it' Harry...." Kagome said sitting down beside Hermione, where Shippou pounced down to settle in to her lap.

"Yeah! I'm an kitsune!" Shippou said looking up at her "Right mama?"

"Uh-huh." Then turning to her only friends she said before they could say anything "Shippou is my adopted son. He is an shapeshifting demon, also an fox. Thus an Kitsune. If that makes it easier to understand."

"Demons? Like in those history books on fuedal Japan?" Hermione asked, ever the bookworm, eyeing her the book in her grasp suscpciously.

Kagome nodded.

"But I heard they were rare. Do you know many Kagome?"

"And how?" Ron added.

"Well Kagome travels back in---oomph!!" Shippou started but his mouth was quickly covered by Kagome's dainty hand as she laughed lightly.

"He has QUITE an imagination..." Kagome said as she looked sharply at him "Don't you Shippou?"

He looked dispirited but nodded.

"Shippou and I actually know quite a lot of demons. An whole time's worth you could say.." Kagome continued winking at the kitsune who smiled back.

"Kouga and Sesshoumaru are amoung these numbers?" Hermione questioned gazing over the rim of the thick pages before her.

"Kouga? Sesshoumaru?" Shippou asked on alert.

Kagome coughed nervously as she blushed slightly catching the curiousity of the other three.

"Well.... you see Shippou.... Kouga and Sesshoumaru are going to be professors at Hogwarts... They're very nice now, well at least Sesshouamru is.. I don't know about Kouga.."

"Heeheheee..... They're.... professors AND old???!?!" Shippou laughed getting hilarious mental images.

Kagome smirked and said

"Yes but I suspect they haven't changed a lot since *ahem*.. then."

"What do you mean Kagome?" Harry asked.

"Well like I said. We're --old-- friends. I've known them for ages." She said while Shippou nodded his head jubilantly in agreement.

"Oh... . well I was wondering...." Ron asked his ears going slightly red as he looked at Kagome "Everytime we've seen you.. I've never seen your wand..."

"Than'ts because I don't have one."

"WHAT??!!!!!" They yelled as Shippou cupped his hands over his sensitive ears.

"Well.. you could say I'm an special kind of witch. I don't need a wand to perform magic." She raised her hand her fingers spread wide apart. Concentrating on the power held within her, tiny flicks of blue embers grew on her fingertips licking the air and growing in size but not yet scortching her pale skin. "See?"

Hermione opened her mouth to respond when the doors suddenly flew open with an clatter as Kagome hid her hand; extinguishing the fires, as Shippou ducked behind her out of veiw.

She looked and saw an tall boy leaning halfway in from the hall eyes sparkling with mischeif.

"Hey Harry I heard some rumors--" His gaze suddenly fell on an innocently smiling Kagome and grinned "Well hello there."

"Hello." Kagome said cheerfully.

He looked over at Harry and said "Well I guess they ARE true then..!"

"What?" Ron said.

"An mysterious and beautiful maiden was hiding in your compartment." He turned to an blushing Kagome and said slyly "I'm Dean Thomas. And you might be...?"

"Kagome Higurashi... an new student this year." She said as to give SOME information on herself.

"I shall remember it always." He said while devoutly clasping an hand over her heart.

Everyone in the room snorted and started laughing; along with Dean himself.

"Well I must be going. I left Neville alone and that's NEVER a good idea no matter what."

The Gryffindors laughed, since Kagome didn't know who this 'Neville' was.

He left with an wink to her before sliding out probably to gloat and tell everybody his new peice of information on the so called 'mystery woman.'

Shippou snorted and muttered something along of lines "Looks like Kouga's gonna have some competetion.."

Kagome choked and blushed scarlet while her SON grinned devishly.

"Ssooo.. Hermione, what are you reading?" She asked trying to change the subject.

"'An history book on Japan's magic and legends.' Ever since you mentioned 'demons' and such at the Leaky cauldron, I became intrested and picked up an few books on it. Have you ever heard of the Shikon no Tama before Kagome? It's an interesting myth......"

All while saying thes Shippou and Kagome had become considerably pale.

She didn't know if she was allowed to tell them about her time travels. At least not until she had her grandfather's consent or a REALLY good reason.

"Um.. I do know the tale well enough... how much does the book say on it?" She asked hesitantly.

"Read for yourself." She said as she handed the book over opened to an page.

Kagome looked down at it as Shippou peered closely as well.

She read to herself, her face scrutching up in shock and horror at the same time.

All the names were changed and not the real ones while the few sketches were correct... right down to her school outfit.

The two page worth description of the story was barely accurate. it explained the tale of Kikyou and Inuyasha well enough but after that, she gulped, it could not be more wrong.

The book claimed Miroku was an respectable monk that NEVER ever took advantage of ANYONE. Inuyasha was sweet and gentle hanyou. Sango was a favorite amoung men and often followed the beck and call of their EVERY word. Shippou was the brave and gallant hero. While she, SHE was described as ... grrr.... Inuyasha would LOVE this all too much......... the shard detector and often stood off to the side in battles not to get hurt.

ARGH! If she ever found the author of this book she was going to strangle him...! You CAN NOT write a story if you DON'T know the truth!!!

She heard Shippou point and snort with surpressed laughter at an certain line. She read it and gaped in fury.

'..The shard detector Kame, was believed to be in love with an wolf demon who always refused her attentions.'

Which form of torture should she use first on this author?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!! This was the exact OPPOSITE of what they were all like!!!!!!

"What's wrong Kagome? You look mad.." Hermione pointed out softly.

Kagome snorted and handed the book over.

"I AM mad. This story is absolutely untrue!!!"

"How are so sure? Its not like you were THERE.." Ron pointed out. Shippou opened his mouth but closed it when he remembered his mother's rules.

"Well you se the tree Inu--- I mean Ashiku was pinned to.. the god tree? That same tree is on the grounds of the shrine I live at. I GREW UP with this legend."

"Oh...."

"Well Kagome... I'm really hooked by this... would you like to explain?" Hermione asked hoping to escape any possible violence.

Both Kagome and Shippou perked up by this.

"I'd be happy too!"
