"Battle Against the Dark Hearts"
By Night Youkai
Chapter 3
In the days fallowing the full moon Kagome learned how Harry faced off against Lord Voldemort. Poor Harry was still in the hospital wing, but Ron had minor cuts so he only had to stay the night and was released the next day. Harry was now wake and receiving visitors, all wanting to know what happened in the dungeon.
"So Harry how are you feeling today?" Smile Kagome as she arranged the flowers she had brought him.
"Better but everyone is so . . . ." he was frustrated with the constant questions no body truly understood how he felt.
"Nosy?" her smile relived his tension and anger.
"Yeah. I'm surprise you haven't asked me any questions since you first visited me."
"Well it's your story to tell. If you want to tell it to someone that's fine if you don't well that's fine too. No one should force you to do anything you don't want to do. Beside I can tell you didn't like talking about it, so I didn't ask. I don't like to cause my friends pain and can feel that you have had more then you should. So no more of this sad stuff did I tell you that Fred slipped a puffer cream puff to Snap and he looked like a puffer fish for 10 minutes." Kagome sat in the chair beside his bed and started to talk of the funny things the happen happened in his absence. He sat there amazed. She understood and treated him as just a friend and not the boy who lived. He thought that only Ron and Hermione would be his only friends he could trust to understand him for who he was. Maybe he was wrong; maybe he had one more now. They sat and chatted of going home and what they had planned for the summer. She promised to write and hoped he would write back. Then she soon left him to rest knowing he was better now the dark shadows were not haunting him now.
*****
During dinner of their last night of the year Kagome sat with her fellow Gryffindors celebrating there winning of the house cup over Slytherin. She thought she couldn't wait to tell Inuyasha everything that's happen on her next visit under the full moon.
"Full Moon!" shouted Kagome as she jumped up out of her seat. Everyone was silent and shocked at her sudden outburst. She didn't notice everyone staring at her as she ran from the hall.
"What did she mean? It's the night of the new moon. Full moon is in two weeks." Asked Hermione as they all stared at the swinging door.
*****
Kagome raced to the dark forest as fast as she could. It was hard to see, but she had to find him. "Inuyasha! Please come out!"
"Why are you here wench It's not the full moon." Inuyasha kept himself hidden be hind a tree.
"I know that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I won't be here for the full moon. Inuyasha will you stop hiding behind that tree so I can talk to you face to face."
"No!" Kagome sweat dropped then sighed as she pulled out her wand.
"If you don't come out I'll light up this whole forest."
"Fine you stupid wench! You won't like what you see."
"What are you talking abo. . ." she gasped in shock as he slipped out from be hind the tree and into the light of her lantern. His long slivery hair was now midnight black and his amber eyes were a beautiful violet color. His hands were no longer clawed and his puppy ears, which she loved so much, were gone, as human ears had taken their place.
"Told you wouldn't like it. I'm a hanyou, which means I'm half youkai and half human. On the night of the new moon I become full human." Inuyasha lowered his head and stood there waiting for the screams of fear and shouts of rejection.
" You know." She lifted his head and looking to his eyes and smiled. " You're kind of cute as a human but I have to say I like your dog ears better." He was shacked. No one had ever accepted him so easily besides his family and he thought no one ever would. "Any way I came to tell you I'm leaving tomorrow for the summer but I'll be back in September." Inuyasha was snapped out of his stupor when she said she was leaving. He didn't want her to leave. He liked having her around not that he would ever admit it. He knew he couldn't stop her but she said she would be back. That little bit of hope would keep his heart warm till she returned.
"How long is that?" He snarled trying to hide his pain with rudeness.
" Two moon cycles. I'll leave a note on one of the trees once I get back alright?"
"Put a drop of blood on it so I can find it. You'd better head back it's getting late. Kagome gave him a quick hug and whispered, " I'll miss you." in his ear before running back to the castle.
'She's gone and I am alone once again. This is going to be the longest summer ever.' He thought as he slowly and sadly made his way back to his home in the loneliness of the forest.

The great hall was decorated for the welcome feast of the New Year. Kagome sat next to the Hermione while Ron and Harry sat on her other side. She was so glad to be back at school with her fellow Gryffindors, but she especially glad to be close to the hanyou of the dark forest. Summer felt like forever with out him. But she wrote to him and once in a while he wrote back 'Feh' note. (The letter always said one word. Feh) It felt like yesterday when she was standing with the first years waiting to be sort by the sorting hat. Kagome smiled wistful thought. This was her sixth year at Hogwarts and the start of a brand new adventure. With the sorting hat ceremony done Professor Dumbeldore stood up to make his usual announcements when. . .
"CRASH!" The main door went flying off their hinges.
"Incarmun Inflamara!" Yelled the intruder. The doors burst into flames, disintegrating before they landed on any students. There was silence; no one dared to breath a word for fear of the red clad stranger. With his wand gripped tightly in his hand he stormed up to the head table.
"Listen Old man! I've had enough of your lame warning to the mindless idiot humans that stay here. Every year it's the same. You tell them 'The dark forest is forbidden.' Yet every year they constantly are coming in to my home Uninvited! I'm sick and tired of your pathetic humans coming in where they're not wanted and unwelcome. Right Snapie? If you ask me the cat got off easy." The stranger looked to be a boy of 16 or 17, he was also very powerful. He shifted his gaze from Dumbeldore to Snape to McGonagall back to Dumbeldore. This is your last chance to keep your castle in one piece. Keep your stupid humans away from the Dark Forest. Especially the kid with the GLASSES!"
" Who do you mean Inuyasha? Asked the smiling wizard? Dumbeldore knew whom he was talking about, but he had to test Inuyasha. His powers had grown greatly and he seemed to be in control but he had to be sure.
"Grrrr... That Guy! Wingardium Leviosa!" Inuyasha had lost it. He pointed his wand and with a swish and flick up went Harry Potter. Students and teachers were horrified. "I've had it with you! First it was detention then that car and the spiders. Then after that you and the dementors, then it was those stupid dragons and Years year it was you and the giant and that bitch from the ministry! Well I've had it with you! This is the last time you ever invade my Forest HOME!
"Esparate. . ." Suddenly a small hand gently landed on his arm. He breathed in the scent of wild strawberries. "Kagome" her name was a bear whisper on his lips. Kagome's heart was now opened and connecting with his. He felt alone betrayed angry and scared. He was lashing out because he was hurting from the pain of his suppressed emotions. Inuyasha glanced at Kagome and saw in her eyes the tears he refused to shed. He was hurting her and it made his heart clench in guilt. Inuyasha sighed in defeat and lowered his wand, releasing Harry from his spell. As Harry came crashing down Kagome took his clawed hands into her own relieving him of his wand from his right hand and a crumpled torn note he held tightly in his left fist.
"Wait for me out side please." She asked in a voice only he could hear.
"Feh," that was his answer for everything. "I'll Let you off with a warning, but the next time a human steps into my home I show no mercy!" then he stalked off growling at the fallen wizard on his way out. Once he was gone Kagome used his wand to repair the damage.
"Spella reveso dora reaper." once the doors were back in place she walked meekly to the head table placing the wand before professor Dumbeldore. "I'm sorry sir. Inuyasha is not usually like this. Please sir don't report him, he needs the forest." Pleaded Kagome.
"Don't worry child you may tell him, tomorrow morning he can pick his wand in my office. Please be so kind as to accompany Inuyasha, I doubt he'll come willingly."
" Yes sir." Kagome turned and started to head for the door stopping briefly at Harry, as Ron and Hermione now supported him. "I'll never forgive you for what you've done." Kagome left the great hall in search of her lonely hanyou.
*****
Kagome didn't have to look far for him. Inuyasha was standing at the bottom of the steps waiting for her. "Hey there long time no see." She smiled weakly.
"Feh. What ever where's my wand?"
"Professor Dumbeldore has it he wants you to come to his office tomorrow morning to retrieve it." Inuyasha suddenly felt ill.
"You mean in the daylight? I can't!"
"I know, but you need your wand. In two nights it's the new moon it's your only defense you have." Inuyasha's ears drooped and his face fell. It had been 15 years since he walked in the sunlight. He wasn't sure if he could do it. "Don't worry I'll be right beside you. Professor wants us both to see him. Even if he didn't I would never leave you to face the pain of the light alone." She caressed his cheek gently as she would to sooth a frighten child. Suddenly she felt herself being pulled into a furious hug by strong yet gentle arms. Kagome melted in to his arms as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Kagome please don't leave me." He pleaded. Her heart flutter at his whispered request.
"I won't leave you. I promise." And she held him tightly to reassure him of her promise. "Come on I'll walk you home. We have a big day tomorrow" pulling out of the hug she place her hand in his little did they know someone was watching them from the shadows.
A/N: well I wonder who luring from the shadows.
Inuyasha: shut up you know who it is.
N Y: -_- I was trying to get a dramatic puase.
Inuyasha: You dramatic that's a laugh.
N Y: why won't you go away? -_-' Inuyasha: I'm no longer a pup so I can do what ever I want. ^_^
N Y: * sigh* Kagome Inuyasha is bugging me.
Kagome: * Pulls out wand and points to inuyasha* Silenico
Inuyasha: * Mouth is moving but no words come out.* O_O
N Y: thanks
Kagome: no prob. ^_^
