Chapter Fifteen: Battle Wounds, Mischievous Plans, and Apologies

Kagome watched as Sesshomaru and Sango got into their fighting stances. "Class, what you're about to see will hopefully be fake and the two of them won't be hurt too bad..." Hermione, Harry, and Ron looked from Kagome's worried face to the two about to battle and crossed their fingers, praying that at least Sango would be fine. The battlefield was a different story.

"I promise I'll go easy on you," Sango said, aiming her prized Hiraikotsu at Sesshomaru. "I'd hate to see your pride crushed when you lose with all these witnesses around."

"Don't be so full of yourself, that's always my half-brothers undoing," Sesshomaru replied has he pulled tensusaiga from its sheath.

"Ya, well there's the difference," Sango whispered as she raised her weapon. "You'll soon learn that!" She yelled as she let the large boomerang bone fly towards him. Sesshomaru dodged it easily and smirked.

"Is that the best you-" but Sesshomaru found that he was unable to finish his sentence due to the fact that something large and hard connected with the back of his skull. The force of the object forced him to drop to his knees.

"Weak huh?" Sesshomaru was shocked; he figured that since it was a mock battle, she wouldn't dare hit him, hence the reason tensusaiga was being used. Sesshomaru slowly rose and reached back to feel the bump left behind. As soon as he brought his fingers to the bump, a warm liquid met him. Blood. His blood.

"My dear exterminator," Sesshomaru stated calmly, "if you wanted a real fight, you should've told me." Suddenly Tensusaiga was replaced with Tokijin and pointed in her direction.

I could feel it. I could almost touch the evil aura that now surrounded their battle. Sango must've really hit Sesshomaru, which would mean...

"NO!" Kagome cried out. He's using Tokijin I know it.

Sango turned at Kagome's voice. Turning back to Sesshomaru she saw him swing the sword at her. The power of the sword alone nearly knocked her off of her feet. The power of the sword cut her skin in numerous places, even though the sword never touched her. Just like what happened to Inu Yasha. Sango thought. The amount of blood that came from the cuts shocked her. They were small, but the blood, there was too much. One more blow like that could seriously injure her. "No," she heard her self mutter, "I refuse to lose to him," Sango said louder as she stood up using Hiraikotsu for support.

Hermione grabbed Ron's hand. "Did you see that? The power of that blade, that sword must be the legendary Tensusaiga!" She said to the two.

"Professor Kagome looks upset," Harry observed, nodding in Kagome's direction. "I wonder if she's encountered the sword before." Ron nodded, his face white as he stared at the battle.

"She's bleeding really bad. Do you think she'll be alright?" Ron asked. Harry and Hermione shrugged and continued to watch the battle, hoping that Sango would be all right.

Sango's bleeding a lot. Kagome thought uncomfortably. She can't take much more of his attacks. "Sesshomaru! Stop this now!" Kagome yelled. In a few seconds she found her self running towards the two, determined to brake up the battle.

Sesshomaru thought he heard Kagome, but quickly dismissed it. His feelings for the human were interfering with his battle strategies. "Pity you didn't put up a better fight. Is it because your dear monk isn't here to protect you?" He realized he had struck a nerve. The girl's eyes were closed, trying to block out his words. He could sense her weakness; she was about to give up. One more swing from the sword should do it. Rising his sword once more he quickly brought it down. One less member of their group to worry about.

"Kagome!" The name brought his surroundings back to him. He wasn't in Feudal Era Japan, he was in a school, Hogwarts to be exact, teaching Defense Against Dark Arts with Kagome. Looking at Sango, expecting to see her on the ground, he saw Sango holding Kagome and crying. He had sliced Kagome. She had interfered with the battle.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione gasped at the scene before them. Sesshomaru had brought down the sword, but Kagome had jumped in front of Sango. She received the blow that was meant for Sango. She collapsed to the ground as soon as the blade had been sheathed. Sango dropped and held Kagome close.

"Let's go help," Harry said. Hermione and Ron nodded quickly. Sometimes playing the hero was a good thing. They didn't want a good Professor to die.

Sesshomaru sensed the three students approach them.

"Back off," he growled at them. The students stopped for a moment, before the girl rolled her eyes and stepped forward.

"We can't heal the wounds you guys, but we can get her back up the castle," she told the two boys.

"Good, Madam Pomfrey will have her fixed up in no time at all!"

"Ya Harry, you should know," the red haired boy joked with Harry.

"Shove it Ron. Do you know the incantation 'Mione?" The girl nodded and with a quick flip of the wrist, Kagome was floating in the air as if she were on a stretcher.

"Follow me um, Ms. Sango?" Sango looked up and slowly got up as well. She used her weapon to balance herself and limped up the hill with them. The boy named Harry remained and looked up at him, glaring. The boy dared to glare at him!

"Why did you attack her?" He asked. Sesshomaru was amused at his boldness, He could hurt him, kill him so easily.

"My senses were clouded, I was determined to end that exterminator's life." The boy's, Harry's, eyes widened.

"But that woman was Professor Kagome's friend, sir!" Harry yelled. He looked so mad, as if it hurt him as well.

"Kagome and I have just recently became friends. Some grudges are harder to rid of." Harry looked down. Sesshomaru looked up at the students still there. "Class dismissed!"

Hermione floated Kagome to the hospital wing, while Ron help Sango make her way up the numerous staircases.

"If only they made more shortcuts," Sango muttered through gritted teeth. Ron chuckled.

"I agree, there should definitely be more of those." Sango smiled at Ron.

"Well it's a good thing we're there now huh?" Hermione said happily as she opened the doors. Madam Pomfrey came over quickly and made a few 'tsks' at them as she looked over Sango and Kagome.

"You two will be spending the night here for sure!" Sango almost protested but saw Hermione and Ron shake their heads quickly with anxious looks on their faces.

"Never argue with her," Ron warned, "you'll never win!" Just as Ron and Hermione were about to talk more, Madam Pomfrey ushered them out of the ward and turned to Sango.

"Lie down on a bed, yes that's good, and I'll go get a few potions for you." Sango sat/fell on a bed next to Kagome's and soon, small streaks of blood from her cuts soaked into the bed.

"What happened to you?" Sango turned to see another red-haired boy.

"Fighting. Well, it was supposed to be a mock fight but..." The boy nodded and reached out a hand.

"I'm George Weasley. You just met my brother. Ron. We also have Fred, I'm sure you've heard of him, and Ginny, I'm sure you'll meet her soon. Who are you?" Sango smiled, this was Fred's twin. Yes she had heard about them.

"I'm Sango, a friend of Kagome's. She asked me to come here to straighten out your twin." George laughed happily.

"Yes, he does need that." Sango chuckled at looked at his nose and arm. His nose had gauze on it and his arm was in a sling.

"What happened to you?" George looked down and sighed.

"Afraid a prank went the wrong way. Attempted to hex a bludger into attacking random Slytherins throughout the day. Backfired. Missed Fred but go me in the nose and arm." Sango's face must've had confusion written all over it because George then went into who the Slytherins were, why they were rivals, why there were pulling the prank, and then what quidditch was. Madam Pomfrey had already taken care of her half way through George's explanation of quidditch and was currently working on Kagome.

"Will she be okay?" Pomfrey looked up and smiled at her.

"Don't worry dear, she'll be alright, all the needs now is some bed rest, along with you and mister Weasley over there." George nodded and began faking sleep. Just as Sango was about to fall asleep, Sesshomaru burst in the hospital wing and rushed to Kagome's side.

"Professor visiting hours is over for now! You are to come back later!" Sesshomaru glared at her but listened.

"Fine, I'll be back in the morning," Sesshomaru said, marching out of the ward. Sango looked over to see George shaking his head.

"Poor demon. He doesn't stand a chance with Kagome." Sango cocked and eyebrow at him.

"What?" He questioned. "We're twins right? I'm dead sexy which means he must be as well. Sesshomaru, well, he isn't anywhere near as good looking as me! So Fred must also be better looking." Sango rolled her eyes at George's logic. He might have a point somewhere in there, but for now, she needed to figure out what to do. Kagome needed her help apparently. Did she have feelings for Sesshomaru? Hopefully not, because then her job would be a lot easier. Maybe...

"George?" The twin looked over at her. "Care to help me set up Kagome with Fred?" George broke out into a large smile.

"My dear lady, I was wondering how long it would take for you to ask!" Sango smiled and the two began planning.

"Do you think she'll wake up soon?"

"Shut up Ron, she's resting!"

"It's okay Hermione, she'll probably wake up now and wonder what we're doing here and then see Professor Sesshomaru and glare at him."

"Don't make me take away points from Gryffindor Potter."

Kagome slowly opened her eyes to see Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Sesshomaru standing around her bed. Looking past them, she saw Fred. She smiled, maybe he was visiting her!

"She's up!"

"Shush Ron!" Kagome smiled at them.

"Hey you guys, it's okay Hermione. Missed me Ron? It's been a whole....fifteen hours since you last saw me." Ron smiled and moved over so that Sango could see her.

"You okay Kag? Sesshomaru over there gave you a nice swipe." Kagome nodded and glanced over at Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru?" The demon lord bowed his head and muttered a couple words. George smiled two beds away, he was watching with mild interest.

"What was that? We didn't hear you Professor!" George said happily. Sesshomaru glared at him.

"I said five points from Gryffindor!" Sesshomaru growled. George paled and quickly turned towards Fred.

Kagome glared at him. "What did you really say." Sesshomaru sighed.

"I said, 'I'm sorry'." Kagome froze. The cold-hearted demon lord who cared about no one, apologized to her, a mere human. Sesshomaru looked at her then turned to leave. "We'll talk when you're out of here." Kagome nodded an watched Sesshomaru leave. Hermione suddenly started digging through her things and handed Kagome a two rolls of parchment.

"Here, it's class time even though we're having a free period because of well, you know. It's the assignment you gave us on how what Sesshomaru taught us." Ron and Harry also began digging through there things and handed her their homework. Kagome laughed.

"I would've accepted it tomorrow guys." Ron and Harry glared at Hermione, who had kept them up all night, forcing them to finish the paper because it was due the next day.

"Well, nice to see that you're recovering Professor, but I need to look up Potions ingredients for an essay," Hermione said, getting up to leave.

"That's alright. Thanks for the assignment, it'll help me stay busy and not be so bored in here!" Hermione nodded, gathered her things and left. Harry and Ron made a silent agreement and started gathering their items as well.

"We'd stay professor, but Hermione's in a good mood now and she'll be willing to help us on that essay!" Ron said, running towards the door. Kagome laughed and waved out Harry and Ron.

"So you feel better right?" Kagome turned towards Sango's voice and nodded.

"Yep, can't wait to get out tonight." Sango nodded.

"I know what you mean. Being stuck next to the twins of terror is a nightmare," Sango whispered. Kagome laughed and looked over at Fred and George...but mainly Fred. Sango noticed her stare.

"You really like Fred huh?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded.

"Ya. I just wish he'd tell me how he felt." Sango smiled wickedly.

"Good thing I can figure out any and everything huh?" Kagome looked over quickly.

"What do you know?" Sango put her finger tip to her nose and winked.

"More than you would ever guess."
