"Battle Against the Dark Hearts"

By Night Youkai

Chapter 5

"Ron! Harry! Look it's Kagome and she's with the demon." Whispered Hermione as she took her seat next to Ron. The whole class turned to see Kagome and the fierce hanyou take their seats in the back of the class. Murmured whispers circled the class about the two. The hanyou's hearing was picking up every word said about them, but Inuyasha resisted the urge to slash them to pieces for their idiotic. This was for Kagome he would only put up with this human world for her.

" I wonder why he's here? I thought he live in the dark forest?" asked Ron.

"Well we seem to have a new student.' Sneered Snape as he entered the dungeon.

"That's right Snapie I thought to see if you suck as a teacher as you do a thief." Snapped Inuyasha. They stood there staring at one another neither one backing down.

"I can deduct points from you house and give you detention." Growled Snape.

Inuyasha walked up to Snape so they were no face to face. "You could, but then again I live in the dark forest and I could strike you down for the hell of it. So I'll tell you what you give me an oral exam right now. If I don't get 8 out of 10 right then I'll take a month worth of detention and the house would lose 5 points. If I pass you leave me and Kagome alone for the rest of the term and the Gryffindors get 15 points form you. What do you say?" Snape thought about the deal the hanyou had set on the table. It was true the demon could strike him down without a second thought, yet he was making deals.

'It would seem that girl has opened his heart to tame the beast inside. He has great power but does he have the knowledge to control that power?' after a moment lost in thought he arose to the challenge. " Alright it's a deal starting now. Where do you fine gilly weed?"

" The Azkaban swap."

"What's the most important ingredient in a sleeping draft

"Wolf bane."

"Where do you fine Isis root?"

"12 feet below the surface in the Amazon forest."

"What is the purpose of the kiss of death rose?"

"To render a person into a death like sleep."

"Name the three ingredients for a dream potion."

"Ash of phoenix, petal of the lily, and a drop of the dreamers blood."

"What is the cure for the death draft? I phoenix tear mix with a serpents blood

"How long does a violet shadow potion last?"

"Three hours on a human six hours on me."

"What is the violet shadow potion's purpose?"

"To separate soul from it's body leaving the user between worlds as a ghost."

"What is the Sarawshi root used for?"

"To suppress the will of the werewolf so the user stays human."

"Last Question Mr. Inuyasha. How long does it take to properly brew a potion of ageless time?" Inuyasha smirked at the question. 'So the old man was in to sustaining his youthful looks.'

"A year and 45 days. The potion last 20 years." The class was silent. Hermione was in shock she didn't even know half of those answers. Snape was really impressed, but he did show it.

"15 points to Gryffindors." He growled out and went back to his desk and Inuyasha returned to Kagome.

*****

By lunch time the whole school was talking about the potions showdown, even the teachers much to Snape's displeasure. Dumbeldore made the announcement that Inuyasha was now a new student and was sorted into Gryffindors much to everyone's surprise. Being a demon they he was thought evil and belonged in Slytherin. During lunch Harry kept staring at the door hoping Kagome would come in and he could say sorry, but she never came.

"I' don't think Kagome is ever going to for give you Harry. That demon seems to be very important to her, like a pet or something."

"Ron you don't get it. That Demon has a name and he's not a pet. He could kill you with one swipe of his claws and not even blink." Snapped Hermione. " But Ron is right Harry. That guy Inuyasha is important to her. If you want to say you're sorry to Kagome your going to have to apologize to him first."

"I know, but something tell me he's trouble."

"Well if you don't trust him then keep an Eye on him. If Kagome and you make up then you can be close to protecting her." Harry thought what Ron and Hermione had said. Kagome was a go friend and he did care for her. He didn't want to see her get hurt. He gave a heavy sigh he knew what he had to do. He made up his mind to apologize during dinner and hopefully the demon wouldn't kill him this time.

*****

In the great hall he waited for them to come to dinner but they came. It seemed as though the disappeared they we're on a hunger strike. As the days passed none saw them except for classes. What was really weird was the demon was the top student in all classes. It's was three weeks before Ron got a tip from his brothers Fred and George that Kagome and the demon have been eating in the kitchens. Harry sighed at the news. If this kept up he would never get to apologize. They were real good at hiding themselves he couldn't count how many times how he almost caught up with to them only to have them disappear around the corner.

"Well it's now or never." Harry slipped into the kitchen and saw the house elves bustling around getting things ready for the evening meal. Suddenly a house elf came running up to him.

"Harry potter sir."

"Hello Dobby can you tell me where Kagome and her friend is?"

"Oh yes sir. They are at the table by the fire sir. Would Harry potter like dinner here as well?" the elf was only too happy to please.

" No thanks, maybe next time." The elf left to continue helping with dinner as Harry made his way to the fire. As he got closer he could hear them talking.

"Kagome you don't have to eat here with me. You should go and be with your other friends."

"Don't be silly Inuyasha I like it here with you. You're my friend I won't leave you to be alone again."

"What about your other friends? You haven't seen them in weeks and it's making you unhappy." Inuyasha wanted her to be happy cause she was meant to be happy not carry the sad emptiness of being alone.

"Well if they were my friends they would not have spied on me or ripped up my note. And you would have stayed in the forest till you were ready to come out."

"I really am sorry Kagome I didn't mean to hurt you or your friend." Kagome was startled by the new voice and turned to face it. Inuyasha shot out of his chair and stared down the intruder. " I know sorry won't change things but I'd like to try and be friends."

"Feh!" Inuyasha folded his arms and stared at the boy with the lightening scar. "I don't trust him." Kagome sighed and looked at the annoyed hanyou.

"You don't trust anybody Inuyasha."

"I trust you." He said quietly and she blushed.

"Harry is here to say he's sorry at lest here him out." Inuyasha could feel his heart wrench with her pain. She liked to be with him; which was true but she missed her other friends and he couldn't hold her to him selfishly. Deep down he wanted her to be happy. " Alright Kagome." He walked over to Harry and gave him a knife and held out his arm.

"What is this for?" asked a nervous Harry.

"Youkai tradition. Like for like. You invade his home he invade yours, but he crossed the line when he tried to kill you. So now you have to slash his arm and then all will be forgiven."

"I can't hit him!"

" You have to or it's not forgiven."

"Alright." Harry closed his eyes and slashed at Inuyasha's arm. Harry opened one eye to see if he was still alive. Inuyasha snorted at the young wizard and glanced at the shallow cut, it was already healing it's self. In seconds it was gone with no scar.

"Kagome it's meal time why don't you go to the great hall with potter here."

"Inuyasha are you coming with us?"

"Naw. No youkai allowed at the table." He chuckled "Don't worry about me I know you miss your friends. Go on I'll see you later." She wanted to argue but she knew he wouldn't back down and she did miss her friends. She sighed in defeat " alright I'll go" she gave him a quick hug before leaving the kitchen. Harry started to follow Kagome but was yanked back by a clawed hand on his collar. He was turn around and was face to face with a very pissed demon.

"You're a liar! You're not one bit sorry. I don't trust you any more then you trust me. I'm doing this for Kagome. Just one warning. Hurt her in anyway and a slash you in to pieces got it?" Inuyasha didn't wait for an answer he dropped Harry and went back to the fire.
