Potter Meets a Demon Lord: Assassination Atempts, Europe, and Big Surprise
Harry wasn't having the best of days... Wait, scratch that. Harry was having the worst day. Going from totally embarrassed to utterly tired had it's effects on a poor human body. Warm up, that wasn't so bad. Twenty laps around the very large training grounds, it made you want to kill the person who put you in the situation in the first place. Speaking of which, the said person was being annoyingly cheerful this early morning.
"Two more laps, Harry and you can rest!" Harry soon found that Relena Greenwood was an utterly distasteful character when it came to training.
Though Harry didn't mind the stares from demons in the training grounds, but Harry did mind being scrutinized by the Demon Lord, who, by the way, was also the object of his nightly (and daily) fantasies. Sure, he didn't mind being forced to face the God-like demon in this totally degrading situation, but he did mind that he faced the demon in an earlier degrading situation then being forced to face him again.
What situation was that, you ask? Well, thanks to the ever reliable Relena Greenwood, demon bitchtress the great, Harry was lost wandering the castle in the early hours of dawn. You must know, waking a person up rudely with a deafening whistle then abandoning him to find the kitchens on his own was not a very nice thing to do. Not only that, if the said person had only been forgiving enough to point him to the right direction of the kitchens, then maybe he wouldn't have been in the very embarrassing situation that he had been in in the early hours of dawn.
Harry wandered the castle in great frustration. Not only was the castle very big, unfortunately, every corridor had to be the exact same replica of every other corridor in the castle. Though asking for directions should have been the easiest path to take, there hadn't been a chance to do so. So when Harry James Potter was at his wit's end, he randomly opened a door among the hundred other doors in the castle. Though there were a few hundreds to one chance that Harry would have picked a door that led to the room of a certain demon lord who was undressing at the time, Harry wasn't so lucky (it is different in another point a view though).
Harry didn't mind seeing the great Sesshoumaru half naked with his chest and abdomens showing but he did mind that it was inappropriate of him to walk in on the Lord of the Western Lands, undressing, who, by the way, would have ripped him apart in mere seconds. He could have gotten out of the situation easily if only he had the brains to apologize and explain. However, circumstances like these did not often arise so you can only imagine, unless you've walked in on a half naked God-like demon lord before, what Harry felt like when he saw those perfect muscles ripple with every movement the demon lord made. Yes, he blushed, he stammered, he choked on his own words, and he ran with whatever dignity, if he still had any, he had then. Of course, Harry didn't know that the demon was actually embarrassed too because like him, the demon lord actually had the same, if not more, intense attraction.
Fact is, Harry is human, he wasn't able to detect emotions and feeling of those around him like a very sexy full-blooded Taiyoukai with silver hair and golden eyes. He was only a boy filled with buckets of teenage hormones destined to save the world one day from a mad psycho bald guy who had a thing for snakes and anagrams. If he was a demon, able to sense emotions and whatnot, he would have known that the demon lord was actually very shocked and very aroused to see him with that cute blush of his. And, if he knew, he would have pounced on the demon right then and there just as the demon would have done so if given the chance to actually process what have happened while he was still in the presence of the demon lord. Oh well, you know life, it is not very un-sucky.
Harry swore for the hundredth time that hour. Two more laps to go and he will be able to embrace the sweet bliss of rest. Must run, step and step and step. One and a half lap to go. Harry could faintly hear some shouting in the distance... but then again, most of the demons in the training grounds were either shouting a battle cry or snarling. Harry was sure there had to be a record for time running around a training ground full of demons looking at you without melting. If looks could smother, Miharu/Relena Greenwood would be six feet under by now.
Harry was only vaguely aware of someone tackling him to the ground because of his current condition: completely drained and dizzy. A wave of vertigo hit him so hard as he was roughly shoved to the ground by strong slender arms. When Harry's vision cleared, he saw a single arrow embedded to the ground where he had been standing. Moments later, the arrow evaporated in a wisp of black vapor. Harry looked up at his savior who happened to be the one and only sex-god Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru growled angrily as he tried to ignore the heat creeping through his body as he held the smaller body against him, it also happened to fit in his frame perfectly, by the way. The person who the said body belonged to gulped as he saw the arrow evaporate. Sesshoumaru unconsciously held the boy tighter to him as he sensed the fear the boy was feeling.
Sesshoumaru stood up and parted from the boy painfully, afraid he might forever be held by the spell the sound of Harry's heartbeat wove. He checked the boy of injuries, regardless of the fact that he had already known the boy was unharmed. He wanted to make sure. Relena ran to them, Raiku going the other way, going after the one who had shot the arrow.
"Har, you okay?" Relena checked the boy herself with a critical eye.
"F-fine, just tired and hungry." Harry said weakly, very disappointed that Sesshoumaru had decided to let go of him.
"Let's go inside immediately." Relena said seriously.
"I will alert the guards." Sesshoumaru strode away.
Relena pulled Harry to the castle, sickeningly fast due to her demon speed. She led, or dragged, Harry to an inside garden in the castle where a little girl was playing among the flowers. She was wearing a plain kimono with patterns on it and a pigtail on the side of her head. She waved frantically at Relena as she saw them approach. Relena smiled at the child warmly.
"Rin-chan, would you mind looking after Harry-kun for me?" Relena asked sweetly.
"Hai!" Rin jumped up and down frantically, spraying flower petals everywhere.
"Arigato Rin-chan!" Relena kissed the top of Rin's head who blushed and smiled meekly.
Relena rushed out of the garden, murmuring strong defensive spells on the walls and doors and a simple hiding charm. She walked out the door, leaving Harry and Rin alone in the beautiful garden.Relena bumped into Akito, mumbling incantations as she went.
"Miharu-sama, whe-" Akito didn't have any time to finish his sentence as Relena pushed him through the garden door then promptly left them.
"What was that?" Akito asked, turning to the two occupants who looked as bewildered as him.
"I have no idea." Harry said in a bewildered tone.
Harry and Akito sat down side by side in front of Rin who was talking a hundred miles per hour. She was a bouncy little girl who had a mouth as big as Europe.
"Slow down, kid!" Akito said, throwing Rin in the air then catching her again, making her giggle.
"I'm Rin-chan!" She said happily.
"Hi Rin-chan, I'm Harry." Harry smiled at the little girl.
"Hello, Harii-san! And who are you, onii-chan!" Rin bounced on Akito's lap.
"Akito, my name is Akito." Akito smiled also.
"What are you doing here, Rin-chan?" Harry asked.
"I'm playing here while Sesshoumaru-sama is out!" Rin smiled happily.
"Sesshoumaru? Do you like Sesshoumaru-sama?" Akito asked.
"Yes! Rin-chan love Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin bounced happily.
"Does he take care of you?" Akito asked curiously.
"Sesshoumaru-sama take care of Rin-chan!"
"But where is your mother and father?" Harry asked Rin who paused then started bouncing again.
"Rin-chan don't need kaa-san and tou-san anymore! They went to heaven and Rin-chan has Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin laughed happily, making Harry envious that Rin could be so happy without parents, putting aside the fact that Sesshoumaru gets to take care of her, of course.
Rin contented herself by running around picking flowers. Harry then came up with an idea and called Rin. Rin squealed in delight as flowers came out of Harry's wand when Harry muttered a small "Orchideous". They had a great time running around with Rin as they waited for Relena and the others come back.
"Did you find anything?" Relena asked Raiku as they stood outside the garden with Sesshoumaru.
"Nothing except that the demon was a Kage-youkai (1). The demon killed itself when I reached it." Raiku said stoically.
"Where did you put Harry?" Sesshoumaru tried not to let worry seep into his voice.
"Right here." Relena led them to the door, which, in Sesshoumaru's surprise, wasn't noticed. He then realized that a spell was put on it.
Harry was laughing near Akito and Rin, who were rolling around the ground, laughing right with him. Sesshoumaru felt a pang of jealousy as he saw Harry being so happy without him. He felt stupid for doing so.
"Harry." Relena came with a cheerful smile.
"What happened?" Harry asked, getting up, trying not to glance at Sesshoumaru.
"Demon killed itself before it was interrogated. We'll have to leave you with a guard at all times from now on, you'll have to be with one of us at all times." Relena sighed with Rin screaming in the background, jumping at Sesshoumaru.
"At all times?" Harry asked, blushing.
"Why, Harry? Are you embarrassed I'd leave you with him?" Relena asked Harry in English, winking suggestively.
"Wha-what? O-of course not!" Harry tried to sound indignant but he was too busy filling his face with more blood.
Sesshoumaru gave a low growl of impatience.
"Anyway, I think it's time we had breakfast." Relena announced. "Lord Sesshoumaru, would you care to join us?"
Sesshoumaru gave a curt nod.
The six of them sat outside on a porch overlooking a huge garden. They would have eaten very quietly if Rin were not there. She was happily eating her breakfast without caring for the sensitive ears of the demons present.
"Rin..." Sesshoumaru gave a small warning.
" Gomenasai Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin shouted, not having been affected by the warning at all.
Harry laughed as Rin cutely ate her food messily. Sesshoumaru hoped he would hear that laugh again.
"I have never seen anyone eat as messily as Ron." Harry suddenly grew silent.
"Ron Weasley? Hmm... I believe I've met two of his brothers in Romania and Egypt. Bill and Charlie as I recall. One works with dragons and one with Gringotts." Relena tried to lighten his mood.
"You were in seventh year when you disappeared from Hogwarts, right?" Harry asked, trying to change the subject.
"Yes, It was near the first task. I presume Dumbledore kept my disappearance quiet? I never had many friends then. I was a loner." Relena said.
"For a loner, you certainly had a knack for trouble, like the Weasley twins." Harry grinned. "I believe the rumors that you were an evil scary pyromaniac helped in your reputation as a loner."
"Hey! I didn't mean to set fire on Snape's desk!" Relena stated indignantly.
"Or his pants, his robes, his office, or professor Trelawny's hair..." Harry counted off the incidents with his fingers.
"That witch was annoying me, stating I won't live to my eighteenth birthday! I suppose she's bragging about how right she was about that because of my disappearance!" Relena's eyes flashed a fiery red. "...darn witch, bragging about her phony inner eye..."
"You know, she actually gave a prophecy that came true. Not the gibberish she says all the time. It was about Wormtail and Voldemort."
"Wormtail?" Relena asked, confused.
"Peter Pettigrew."
"He's dead isn't he?"
"No, it turns out my godfather, Sirius Black, was innocent and Peter Pettigrew was the one who betrayed my parents."
"Really? Interesting, I was actually thinking of becoming an auror to hunt down followers of the dark lord, setting them on fire, no less." Relena grinned.
"Wait, what are you two talking about?" Raiku asked while Sesshoumaru just listened.
"Sirius Black is an innocent convict who escaped from a highly secure wizarding prison. He was charged with the murder of thirteen muggles and a wizard who turned out to be alive. He was imprisoned for twelve years until he was able to escape to hunt down the wizard who set him up, Peter Pettigrew."
"Why did he wait twelve years?" Raiku asked him strangely.
"He thought the wizard was dead until he saw a picture of Petter Pettigrew in a newspaper, a reading material that lists news on it. So he turned himself into a dog and escaped." Harry escaped.
"Wouldn't the people who saw the newspaper be alerted too?" Raiku asked.
"He was a rat then." Harry explained.
"What?" Raiku was bewildered.
"They are both an unregistered animagus!" Relena snapped her finger.
"Yeah, the three of them, including my father." Harry smiled faintly.
"Animagus?" Akito raised a brow.
"An animagus is someone who could turn turn him or herself into a specific animal at will without the aid of a wand." Relena explained.
"My father's form was a stag while my godfather's was a dog that has an uncanny similarity to a grim. A grim is a huge black dog that is taken as a death omen. Peter Pettigrew was a rat, literally and figuratively." Harry explained.
"What happened?" Relena asked eagerly.
"When my godfather escaped, he went to Hogwarts because the picture taken was actually a picture of the Weasleys."
"Oh, yeah, I saw that on the Daily Prophet. The wizarding news paper."
"He had been living as a rat with the Weasley for years. He saw that it was on Ron's shoulder so he guessed that Wormtail was at Hogwarts. You've heard about the fat lady, Ron and Sirius Black right?" Harry paused then continued as Relena nodded. "So he went after Wormtail, in the end, he escaped and went back to Voldemort."
"Then?" Relena asked, not satisfied with Harry's ending. "I read in the Internet that you had dragged out the dead body of Cedric Diggory by portkey in the final tast in the Triwizards Tournament. They keep saying that you were raving mad."
"Yeah, I- Wait a minute, did you say Internet?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, I found a way to connect to the Internet with a lop top I magically powered and a broken time turner. Can you believe that there actually is a wizard site created by a muggle born. Only wizards could view the site. There is a password required to enter the site. The password is always an answer to a magic related questions." Relena brushed it off nonchalantly.
"You have a time turner!" Harry asked incredulously.
"Hey! Don't look at me like that. It was my mom's and it was broken a long time ago. I tried to fix it when I got here but I couldn't! Not having the expertise for such a thing." Relena glared defensively.
"Why didn't you send a message to someone that you were stuck here in the past?" Harry accused.
Relena fell silent.
"You, want to be stuck here!" Harry's eyes widened in realization.
Relena sighed. "Me and my big mouth!"
