Chapter III

Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat at the Gryffindor table eating there dinner, they hadn't seen Kyoko sense they arrived at Hogwarts.

"What do you think happened to Kyoko?" asked Hermione; she wanted to talk more with Kyoko about demons and angels, and something she knew nothing about was a challenge for her.

"Probably, talking to Dumbledore or something." said Ron, "What do you think of her?" Ron asked

"I think she's amazing, I meen did you see what she did to Malfoy?" said the amazed Harry, it gave Harry such a worm feeling when Malfoy was forced to apologise to them.

"You know her father is real famous, he killed Lord Bishamon sixty years ago, and is so powerful Voldemort wouldn't fight him he even chickened out on one when Takahashi challenged him to a duel." Said the ever so proud Hermione on all the knowledge she knew about Kyoko's father.

"Who is Lord Bishamon?" asked Harry, in his years at Hogwarts he had never heard of Lord Bishamon not even whispers or rumours

"Sixty years ago in Japan, there was a very powerful, very evil wizard, he cursed hundreds of wizards and witches all over the world. Finely in a duel against Kyoko's father Lord Bishamon fell. They say his spirit still lives and if anyone was to speak of him in disrespect, his spirit will come back to curse the entire family." Ron swallowed hard and paled

"Where do you learn this stuff?" asked Harry, Hermione raised her head high with a large smile

"You would be surprised what you could learn when you spend your time studying." Ron rolled his eyes and Harry shook his head.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione entered the Gryffindor doom room, and there was Kagome sitting in one of the armchairs watching the fire, they wouldn't have known it was Kagome if it wasn't for Kirara playing with her ball on the ground.

"Isn't that Kyoko's cat?" asked Harry pointing at the playing feline.

"Sure is." Said Kagome pocking her head out from behind the chair

"Kyoko how did you get in?" asked Hermione, Kagome got up and started to head to the girl's dormitory.

"Dumbledore let me in." Kagome headed up to the dormitory with Kirara following her, and for the first time Harry really looked at Kirara, he had always assumed her to be a kitten with a fluffy tail.

"Your cat has two tails!" exclaimed Harry, he had never seen a cat with two tails before none of them have, and Kagome stopped and looked back at the trio.

"Of course she dose, Kirara is a demon after all." And Kagome walked off to go to sleep, Ron, Harry and Hermione just starred at the spot she once stood, but soon the shock wore off and the trio went to sleep.

Early the next morning Kagome was up and eating breakfast before most of the students woke up and was heading out the main hall when Harry, Hermione, and Ron were entering.

"Good morning, sleep well?" asked the ever-cheerful Kagome; she had to act like a fourteen year-old-student with out a care in the world. So she would just have to act like herself and hope none of the students caught on.

"How can you be so cheerful this early?" asked the sleepy Ron, robbing the grogginess out of his eyes.

'I met up with InuYasha this morning and watched the sunrise.' Kagome thought but she could tell them that

"It's seven o'clock; don't tell me you three just woke up?" Asked Kagome she couldn't imagine not waking up before six.

"Well I must be going." Kagome happily walked off toward Dumbledore's office, Kagome was happy to be in Hogwarts it reminded her of her school years back in Shinsei Na Shikon Miko. Kagome arrived at Dumbledore's office he had given her the password last night to everything, he assumed she would need them, it would cause to mush suspicion if Professor McGonagall brought her to his office every time he need to see her.

"Welcome Miss Higurashi, Ihope you didn't have any trouble getting in?" questioned Dumbledore.

"No, the password you gave me worked perfectly thank you." smiled Kagome, she immediately liked Dumbledore, even though they only met briefly last night but his aura told her he was a good man that could be trusted. InuYasha was sitting in the windowsill

"So tell me how do you plain to handle the demons?" asked Dumbledore getting strait to business.

"Firstly, how many demons have attacked Hogwarts?" asked Kagome

"Just one, a centipede demon I believe from my observation, it would attack and we would try to fight it off, but end up slowing it down." Said Dumbledore

"How did you stop it before?" Asked InuYasha rudely

"After it destroyed something it would leave."

"Like what?" asked Kagome

"The dormitories mostly, it started attacking two weeks ago."

"Just before school starts interesting. By the size of the forest surrounding this place I'm not surprised, you must have hundreds of demons in there." Said Kagome over looking the forbidden forest

"Have you ever been attacked before?" asked Kagome,

"This is the first."

"Then they must have just moved in, it would be foolish for me to go tracking threw the woods looking for one centipede demon. I might never find it or worse it might attack while I was gone, my best bet is to wait until it comes to the school then attack it before it can. But first I have Defence against the Dark Arts in twenty minuets." Kagome sat in the very back of the class, from the moment she sat down she could smell werewolf threw out the entire classroom and faintly threw out the school.

'So the good Professor is a werewolf, interesting.' Thought Kagome, she hadn't figured out if Lupen could tell she was a hanten, but then if he had been able too he would have known about her sister way before she came along. Lupen walked threw the middle of the students, giving his lecture and slowed when he reached the end and shared a rather odd look with Kagome, he stared at her has if studying her, Kagome smiled at the Professor who smiled back then returned to his speech. After class everyone was out in a hurry except Kagome who slowly took her time.

"Can I help you Professor?" asked Kagome with out even looking up from her books Lupen smiled at Kagome.

"Oh, I forgot my book!" exclaimed Harry rushing back to the classroom; he entered the classroom interrupting the discussion between Kagome and Professor Lupen.

"Saved by the student Professor." Said Kagome gathering the last of her books and leaving for her next class

"Is everything all right Professor?" asked Harry concerned for his friend,

"Nothing for you to worry about Harry, now hurry off to class." Said Lupen crossing his arms in his usual manner, Harry hurried off to class wondering about the conversation Kyoko and Lupen had. For a long time nothing happened Kagome got use to school she did not need to study she was graduated already she spent a lot of her time in the Forbidden Forest with InuYasha. She was wondering if the demons ever attacked the school and if this was some kind of plot by Tanahashi and Dumbledore for her to find her sister or get a vacation. Kagome spent the time she was in class or with InuYasha exploring the castle figuring out anywhere a demon could hide or sneak in, late Friday afternoon the centipede demon unexpectedly attacked. Taking Kagome's advice from the night she first arrived Dumbledore ordered all the students' back to their dormitories; Kagome had smelt the demon coming and hurried to get her sword and arrows.

'Thankfully all the children are rushing back to the dormitory's no one will notice one missing child.' Kagome had changed back to her real form when she reached the main door but forgot her trusty red cloak. A blue orb formed in Kagome's hand after leaving the castle, smashing it into the ground and formed a protective ice dome around the school. Kagome began to carefully search the grounds for the demon, she could smell it scent around the Gryffindor dormitory.

'Where is InuYasha I would figure he would have been chasing the demon the moment it got onto the grounds?" Kagome found the demon banging on the ice with is tail, and it had the upper body of a woman and a tail of a centipede. Kagome released a sacred arrow cutting off the lower left arm of the centipede, she snarled at Kagome.

"So they brought in the murderer Higurashi to deal with us demons, typical of the humans to trust their fates to a murderer." Hissed the demon her tail coiled so she stood ten feet in the air.

"I'm not the one that kills innocent people for the heck of it." spat Kagome the demon chuckled

"You say innocent, I say lunch." The demon lunged at Kagome, who jumped out of the way as fast as lightning and released another arrow just as quickly, this time taking off the demons middle right arm. The demon shrieked, snarling it started slither to the nearest lake with Kagome in hot pursuit, Kagome followed the demon until they reached the lake Kagome threw orb at the demon taking her remaining left arms, shrieking the demon stopped and faced Kagome. Again she lunged at Kagome but this time as Kagome jumped her avoid her, the demons tail wiped around and jabbed Kagome in her right side with two of it's legs and scratching two deep cuts on her left arm, when Kagome came back down she held her side trying to stop the blood from pouring out. The cuts on her arm weren't much better in a mater of minuets Kagome's arm was covered in blood. Laughing evilly the demon said.

"Your not so tuff Higurashi." She lunged again but Kagome didn't move a blue orb formed in her hand she threw it at the demon the moment it hit the demon she was turned into ice and she smashed into pieces. Still holding her side another orb formed in her hand only this one she threw into high into the air above the trees.

Sitting faithfully in a window sill in the main hall was Kirara the ice doom melting not long after Kagome began following the demon, once she saw Kagome's signal she knew what to do. Rushing to the hospital wing Kirara found some bandage, with the bandage safely in her mouth Kirara went to find a way out. She went to the main door first and Dumbledore was just shutting the door, Kirara ran up to Dumbledore who smiled.

"I understand." He opened the door and Kirara ran outside changing to her larger form then taking off into the air to help her mistress. Soon Kirara found Kagome who had collected some herbs to help heal her wounds and had mashed them into a paste with the help from a rock.

"Wonderful Kirara." Thanked Kagome placing the paste on her wounds it stung slightly then wrapping it Kagome thanked God for Kirara always there when she needs her. Mounting Kirara, Kagome looked at the bones of the demon she fought; she disintegrated after Kagome's ice melted. She and Kirara flew back up into the air although the demon that brought her there was now dead Kagome knew deep down that, her assignment was far from finished.

'But what happened to InuYasha why didn't he come, or more importantly where did he go?' thought Kagome she hadn't felt or smelt his scent anywhere near the school.
