Potter Meets a Demon Lord: The Untitled Chapter
Sesshoumaru watched the setting sun in one of the towers in his castle. The tower he stood at didn't have too much of a good view but he chose that particular tower for a reason and that reason was Harry James Potter. You would think that Harry James Potter didn't have a connection to a tower with a bad view but the great Demon Lord Sesshoumaru was at that particular tower because of the teenage boy, believe it or not. Sesshoumaru was trying to stay away from the boy as much as possible. According to the Demoness Miharu's explanation, he was only attracted to the boy because of his magic and he didn't like that one bit. He tried to tell himself that it wasn't possible for him to take a human for a mate for it was disgraceful to his demon heritage. Even though the said human was in fact a powerful wizard destined to save the world one day and was now the ruler of the eastern lands, he couldn't possibly even consider the though of having him for a mate.
But of course, we all know that he has been considering it the moment he laid eyes on the golden boy of the wizarding world. Going back to the original subject at hand, he was trying to stay away from the boy because he had foolishly decided that distancing himself from the boy would help in calm his jumbled feelings. You know what they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder but we know that it means "hornier".
Sesshoumaru knew that his aversion wouldn't last long. With the assassination attempts and his promise to help the teenage boy and, Sesshoumaru suspected, the two scheming demons. Raiku himself seemed distant and listened to Miharu solely. This confused him greatly. Raiku was a very powerful demon and a formidable opponent yet he seemed only concerned about the demoness. He recalled that the general had mentioned that he was a faithful servant of the demoness. There were only two options in which someone that powerful would submit to anyone. Either he owes a great debt to the demoness or the demoness had forcibly bonded him to her. Sesshoumaru had thought the first was a more reasonable option.
The fading rays daylight illuminated Sesshoumaru's form in an ethereal light, making him seem like an angel to whoever looked upon him. No one was there to witness the beautiful sight though and only the shadows that danced seemed to have the privilege of being in the presence of the god-like demon. When the sun goes down, Miharu would have been gone for half a day then.
"Why would you leave in the most critical of times?" Sesshoumaru had addressed the aggravating demoness who was asking for his leave.
"I have to settle down the uproars in the Eastern lands and plead my case to the council." The demoness would have been believable if it were not the mischievous glint in her eyes that stated she was up to something.
"What about the boy?" Sesshoumaru knew he wouldn't be able to say Harry's name without some consequence and therefore opted for the option of calling him "boy".
"I will leave Raiku with him so you will not have to worry about taking care of him. We would not wish to inconvenience you of course." The tone of voice Miharu used set Sesshoumaru slightly on edge. That tone of voice, he knew, was akin to amusement and something that Sesshoumaru had used himself sometimes.
"What about the lessons you have promised for my ward and I?" Sesshoumaru stared at her indifferently.
"I will have Harry teach you both the basics while I am gone. I know it will take a little bit of time to learn it all and a week or two should be enough time." Sesshoumaru's alarms went off blaring like a siren in a terrorist attack.
'So that is what you are planning! What exactly is your agenda here, demoness?' Sesshoumaru couldn't fully figure out the demoness but he knew for certain that her nature was that of a cross between a snake and a cat...or maybe a fun-loving dog.
Before Sesshoumaru could respond, someone came storming up to them. His heart started pounding immediately as the "boy" stomped angrily to their direction, wearing something akin to a sneer and a glare. His messy dark locks fell around his flushed face, making him look absolutely adorable.
"What do you think you are doing? You lie to me then now you abandon me?" His glare became harder, which Miharu didn't think possible, as he spoke in Japanese.
Sesshoumaru could feel Harry's magic whipping out like long tails, making the atmosphere seem tense and dangerous. He could slightly make out a green tint on his forehead.
"Why Harry, I got the notion that you weren't speaking to me." Relena grinned bemusedly at the bristling boy.
"What the hell are you planning? Are you doing all this to torment me?" His two last words came with a hint of desperation.
"I'm sorry I lied Harry but I couldn't contact anyone in the future because of the rumor's circulating about the dark lord. With my power, don't you think it would be dangerous for me to contact anyone in case they are followers?" Miharu tried to reason.
Harry did not reply but remained looking quite annoyed. "When are you coming back?"
"In a week or so. As long as it takes to settle down the riots." Miharu smiled reassuringly.
"What do you want me to do till then?" Harry still looked slightly miffed.
"I want you to train Rin and Lord Sesshoumaru with the basic wandless magic I taught you. I know you haven't fully mastered the wandless magic so I'll give you this." Miharu gave Harry a leather-bound book. "That contains how I managed wandless magic by myself. It took me years to master the basics because there was no one there to train me. There are instructions to how to do it step by step. I'm sure you can manage."
With the brief explanation, she transformed into her youkai form, alerting everyone in the training grounds in the process. Her youkai form was indeed magnificent and terrifying at the same time. She turned into a thirty feet black dragon with red markings. Her wingspan must have been at least fifty feet wide. With a terrible gust of wind that almost blew Harry away, she was off.
"She can be a little dramatic at times." This comment came from Raiku who looked at the event like an everyday occurrence and Sesshoumaru didn't have a doubt in his mind, it really did happen everyday.
Sesshoumaru walked in on Harry and Rin playing in the room. His thoughts melted away as his vision was filled with the endearing scene Harry and Rin made. Rin looked as happy as when she was with him but her grin grew wider when she caught sight of Sesshoumaru standing on the doorway.
The bundle of energy squealed and jumped into his arms happily. Though he looked indifferent, he cared for Rin and was happy she still was happiest when he was there. Sesshoumaru turned to Harry who was smiling at the heart-warming picture. He almost missed the slight sadness that was present in his emerald eyes. He wished he could wipe that sadness away.
Unable to understand his own feelings, he brushed his thoughts away and concentrated on Rin's almost discernible babbling.
"Sesshoumaru-sama! Rin-chan is happy you came! Harry and Rin were playing while we were waiting for you. Harry-onii said that I should behave and listen when the lesson starts because it is important for me to learn." Sesshoumaru saw one of the rare occasions when Rin was serious. He was somewhat glad that Rin listened to Harry.
"Shall we begin?" Sesshoumaru turned to Harry indifferently though he couldn't help memorizing every detail on the boy's face.
"Of course." The boy said a little nervously.
Harry sat on one of the cushions on the floor while Rin and Sesshoumaru followed suit. There was a candle in front each of them.
"We're suppose to start with a simple one but before we do any magic, we have to meditate and find our center first. So we have to sit comfortably and close our eyes." Harry's voice rang out and soothed Sesshoumaru.
"When we close our eyes, we try to relax and find our core where our magic rests." Harry's voice drifted off as they each breathed in and out.
Sesshoumaru relaxed and calmed himself. He stayed like this for what seemed like forever until a vision of a small ball of light came to him. Without thinking about it, he opened his eyes and waved his hand in front of the candle. The wick burst in flames and burned steadily. He looked to Rin and Harry. Harry had already lit his own candle while Rin's aura calmed and reached around the room.
"Gather your magic to you, Rin and focus it to you like wrapping a cloak around you." Rin did as she was told without opening her eyes or moving from her position.
"Now imagine yourself using your magic to light the candle." Suddenly, the candle was lit without Rin moving.
Rin opened her eyes and smiled happily at her candle. She beamed at Harry and Sesshoumaru.
"Rin did it!" Rin clapped happily.
Sesshoumaru frowned. Why had he needed to wave his hand in front of the candle when Rin only willed it. He related this concern to Harry who had said that the book stated that they all had different ways to apply magic. He theorized that Sesshoumaru was more of a hands-on person. Sesshoumaru agreed to this, realizing he always tried to handle situations himself. Harry had said that he did the same as Sesshoumaru.
"I remember whenever I tried solving things by myself I broke about a hundred school rules." Harry laughed, remembering his previous misadventures with his friends.
They moved on the levitating and simple charms. None of them had too much trouble moving through the lesson except Rin, who had a hard time trying to concentrate, being that she was a jittery person. Harry had been very patient with her and helped her through the lessons easily like a natural teacher. Soon, they finished the first stage after a few hours had gone by. It only seemed like minutes to Sesshoumaru as he spent time with the boy.
"That's all for today. We'll continue tomorrow. It says here that we should take time to process what we learned and take things slow. This way, we won't forget what we learned. We'll have a brief summary of what we did tomorrow." Harry explained. "Now Rin, with this new found power, I want you to take care and not use it unless it's an emergency. You are privileged to be able to do this while most witches and wizards are taught when they turn eleven. I hope you will take responsibility for your knowledge and not burn the castle down or levitate Jacken off a cliff or something." Harry grinned at the little girl.
Rin nodded seriously and promised. Sesshoumaru smiled slightly at Harry, being that he could teach Rin in fun ways without taking away the seriousness of the situation.
"I should meet with Akito-san and Raiku-san for my next lesson. With your leave, Sesshoumaru-sama." Harry said nervously at Sesshoumaru.
"Rin, go find Jacken, I have to speak to your Harry-oniisan." Sesshoumaru gave a small smile to Rin who nodded obediently and bounced off out the room.
"Is there something wrong?" Harry asked the demon lord nervously.
"Harry-san, you need not address me so formally. You are the ruler of the Eastern Lands now and we are equal." Sesshoumaru surprised himself by saying what he thought he said. "Sesshoumaru-san is fine."
"Of course. Sesshoumaru-san. " Harry looked down on the ground as he blushed deeper and deeper by the second. After a seconds thought he looked up the demon and added, "Would you mind just calling me Harry? I'm not used to hearing my name with prefixes."
"Of course but I'm going to have to ask you to call me Sesshoumaru. And I would like to thank you for being patient with Rin. I know she could be a little aggravating at times." Sesshoumaru held back a snicker at Harry's flushed face.
"Oh, it's not a problem at all. I enjoy her company." Some of Harry's nervousness dissipated immediately.
Sesshoumaru nodded briefly. "Dinner will be in an hour. I'm sure Rin will be pleased to have you and your companions with us."
"I- we would be glad to join you." Sesshoumaru didn't miss the blunder and smirked confidently at the boy who tried to hide his embarrassment.
"You?" Sesshoumaru stepped closed to Harry. Harry was speechless as his feet refused to move from the spot. Sesshoumaru cupped his chin and forced him to look into his golden orbs. He took pleasure in Harry's widened eyes and his flushed cheeks. His lips were slightly ajar as he tried to find words to say.
Sesshoumaru caressed Harry's cheek with his thumb, enjoying the feel of his soft skin. He ran his thumb on Harry's moist lips drowning in ecstasy as Harry's eyes fluttered close in the sweet sensation. He fully intended to kiss the boy but something held Sesshoumaru back. He dropped his hand to his side and strode away with a devious smirk at the boy who opened his eyes on the unexpected gesture. With an air of purpose, he strode away, firm with his resolve.
