"Battle Against the Dark Hearts"

By Night Youkai

Chapter 11

Kagome was reluctant to leave the injured, yet grouchy Hanyou, but Inuyasha yelled.

"Get out Wench! I'm fine! Go eat! I'll see you in potions!" with loving endearments like that how could she not do as he asked. She walked between her armed guards to breakfast. All the while silently cursing the rude Hanyou for kicking her out of their room.

' Kick me out will you? I'll show you once your all healed I'm going to sit you till you reach china!'

As the entered the hall and proceeded to their table, Harry noticed Dumbeldore out of the corner of his eye. Dumbledore's face showed a brief moment of shock and surprise to see the hanyou did not escort his most guarded treasure to breakfast, but quickly recovered that twinkle in his eye. Kagome sat quietly fuming as she at her breakfast but soon the anger gave way to worry over her stubborn mate. She wondered if she should just skip today and take care of him. Then she thought the better of it, as she knew she would just be thrown out of the room again.

After Breakfast Kagome was once again between her to guards down to the dreaded dungeons, now joined by Hermione. Snape was not a favorite teacher of the Gryffindors house and without Inuyasha there to keep Snape away Ron and Harry feared for their house points. When they entered the class Kagome parted from the trio and head back to her seat in the back where she would wait for Inuyasha. When she reached her seat she was surprised to find Malfoy seating in Inuyasha's seat.

"Morning Draco May I sit down?"

"Sure Kagome you look nice to day." He smiled as she sat next to him. He knew this was her usual seat as well as the demon's. But the demon had yet to show him this morning. When he saw the griffin-dorks as her escort he new this was his chance to get close. They were much of a threat and now that they were in potions he had the home advantage. Draco wasn't lying when he said she looked nice Kagome was so beautiful she could make a school uniform look like a ball gown.

"Thank you Draco." She smiled sweetly as she got her thing prepared for the day's lessons. Never noticing the blush in the pale Slytherins face. Snape Choose this time to stalk into the dungeon with robes flaring around him. Once at his desk he scanned around the room making a mental note of who was in attendance. When his eyes landed on Kagome and Malfoy he felt that Christmas had come early. With the Hanyou gone down went house points.

"I see Mr. Inuyasha decided he to take vacation from class to day. Is he too good that he feels that he can miss this important test the will reflect on half of your term grade?" he glared at Malfoy, but gave the impression he was glaring at Kagome, because if he look directly at Kagome he won't be able to pull it off. She made him feel like he should be nice and give house points to everyone including Longbottom.

"Bang!" before Kagome could answer the class door bust open and the force cause it to break into splinters the students close to the door duct in time before being showed with wood. Snape's head shot up at and watch Inuyasha stroll in.

'Damn that is the four time this week he broke my door.'

"Now I know you weren't about to bother Kagome with your stupid questions Snapie or it would be a fringe on or deal. You wouldn't want that would you Youkai law said ' A deal broke is a broken neck'. Oh and sorry I'm late you know those wild parties in the dark forest can really take it out of a guy. " Inuyasha watched as the professor pale at hi words but he seemed to get the underlined hidden means of both his statements.

" Take your seat Mr. Inuyasha so we can begin some time before Christmas." Inuyasha nodded briefly and headed to his seat in the back. Snape watch him walk with confidence to the back of the class. He notice the Hanyou seemed to be dripping blood from his right arm yet acted unaffected by it. Snape continued to observer the demon teen as he scared Malfoy out of his seat and gave a reassuring smile to the worried heart apparition.

' It seems the demon has more to lose in this war than expected. I'll have to inform the headmaster of his latest adventures.'

"Well that was a fun day." Groaned Inuyasha as he fell face first a to the bed.

"Yes it was. I especially like the part when I had to clean a pint of your blood after Transfigurations!" Inuyasha could hear the sarcasm dripping from every word. Kagome slammed her books down on the table causing his dog- ears to flatten against his head. "You should never have gotten out of bed Inuyasha! You wounds haven't heal, and the keep reopening from your recklessness!"

"Oi Wench! Stop yelling I can hear ya just fine! Besides why are you complaining I'm resting now aren't I? So quit your Bitching!"

"No I won't! Gods, Inuyasha if you weren't injured right now I would say 'it' over and over till you got it through that thick stubborn-ass-head of yours That I CARE! I . . ."

"Are we interrupting?" ask Ron who was standing in the door way with Harry and Hermione. The strained silence was killing them till hermione broke tension by smacking Ron up side the head. "Ow! Hey what'd I do?"

"Idiot." she muttered as she pushed passed the taller boys to the blushing teens. Kagome couldn't stop the heat from rising to her cheeks. Was she just about to shout out that she loved Inuyasha? Hard to hide you feeling to save the one you love when you are heart apparition. Now she would always wonder what he would have said if she did admit she love him, but now she'll never know.

Inuyasha thanked the gods in the skies that he still had his face still buried in the pillow. 'Was she about to say what I think she was going to say?'

*It's possible. *

'Not you again.'

* Yes it's me again. Now the question is what are you going to do about this almost confession? *

'Nothing. I mean we don't know what she was going to say and I'm glad those guys came in that way I don't say something stupid.'

* No your not you wanted to hear what she had to say*

' I did not!'

* That's real sad your lying to yourself you know*

' Why don't you leave go walk my youkai side or some thing?'

~ NO WALK! MATE! MATE! MATE! ~

* Great you woke him up. Fine we'll leave but we'll be back. *

' Thank the gods peace at last '

" Kagome we got an owl today from Professor Lupin. He has heard rumors of demons showing up more and more in both the wizarding and muggle world."

'Shit I forgot the humans were they were still here'

"The daily prophet hasn't been show any sign that the demons exist the ministry is keeping it all under wraps. The muggle papers are saying that they are gang related and the witnesses were too high or drunk to give a reliable statement. Also I haven't been able to find potions that have to duo with your tears as of yet."

" Of curse not you stupid human it would be under runes of the founders and history of magic's giant book of Potions by Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor! Last know location Vault 613 Gringotts bank registered to one Harry Potter." There was now an uncomfortable silence. As they all stared at the hanyou who still had his face buried in the pillow and still bleeding profusely.

"Uh well I guess were at a stand still as Harry can't get to London right now and Inuyasha is still recovering." Said nervously as Kagome got her healing herbs and potions.

"Uhh. Inuyasha how do you know I had the book I'm I didn't even know I had the book and I hate potions?" Harry asked slightly upset that even the hanyou knew more about him then he did.

"You know the bad thing about ghost and moving paintings the talk a lot. Not only that the book is list in the library as unattainable and the vault where it is. And with the magic you can create almost anything to obtain information in the wizarding world." Inuyasha sat up and removed his robes and shirt to a allow Kagome access to the reopened wounds.

"And how exactly did you do that?" asked hermione who was still miffed to be out smarted by a demon.

"Wizarding internet." Pointed to the laptop on his desk.

"Well Inuyasha since you so knowledgeable, would you mind telling us what happened Last night in the Dark forest?" she asked softy as she mixed the herb with the potion. Inuyasha really didn't want to worry her but then he when it would hurt her more if he didn't. He would do anything to keep his happy even if he didn't want to relive his near death experience.

"Well after you went to the feast I went to the dark forest on a rumor of a youkai with great power hiding in wait." As he began his tale he blushed to feel Kagome washing the blood from his chest with a warm washcloth. Kagome on the other hand wince when she saw the claw marks at ran across his chest. Part of her was upset he was so restless; as the other part was thanking the gods they were healing and not as deep as they were last night.

"Well I didn't trust the rumor but it was the only lead I had. So I went and scouted out the supposed hide out. Oi! Wench what the hell? That stings!"

"That means it's working and you won't get infected!"

"Feh whatever. Anyways I caught the scent of a wolf pack heavy in the air, which is weird because the wolves never travel this far form the mountains. As I got closer to the pack the scent of blood fill the air and there was a lot of it. When I reached the camp that's when everything went to hell from there."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~

There was no moon accept a small sliver barely giving off light but it didn't matter his hanyou sight could see perfectly in the everlasting darkest of his forest home. He watched as the wolves gathered around the small fire near the small lake. Inuyasha perched him self on the tallest tree so he could stay up wind and well concealed. He could believe the sight that played out be fore him.

Koga dear you shouldn't be so angry there was nothing you could do Naraku is all powerful."

"Kagura! You Bitch! You and Naraku will pay for the death of my pack!" The young youkai struggled against his confined but was strand by the dead that was once his pack.

"Don't make me laugh." The tall female youkai walked up to the restrained youkai and slapped him across the face. His guards force him to his knees and his face was visible in the dim firelight. "Listen here Kouga you are powerless to stop lord Naraku so just admit defeat and surrender you power sweet prince. The hanyou well soon be here and once my dance corpses make quick work of him I shall take you to meet Naraku." Kouga snarled at the wind demon as she waved her fan and made his fallen comrades rise and obey.

Inuyasha jumped down from his perch and hid among the shrubbery. He took out the dead youkai as the walked bite lesson the numbers for the real battle. He had taken care of at least ten youkai any more and the youkai known as Kagura would become aware of his presence. There was no real way to plan an attack against the dead so he focused sights on the wind wielding youkai. She was the powerful youkai he heard about her scent was familiar she had to be one of Naraku's off spring. He had no choice but to walk in to the trap with his eye wide open.

"HEY! Were you looking for me?"

" Come on out Inuyasha, I've been waiting for you. Lord Naraku send is best." Smirked the youkai as she scanned darkness around her looking for the hanyou. Inuyasha appeared out of the forest and into the light of the fire with the Testsusaiga in hand. Kagura was slightly surprised at how young the heir to the western lands was. "Well we meet at last Inuyasha of the western lands. I am Kagura of the wind and your executioner. ATTACK!"

The Dead pack got up and surrounded the lone hanyou. He gripped the Testsusaiga with both hands as the closed in on him. At first on by one the dead attacked he slashed thought three be fore his sword was knock from his hand. 'SHIT!' suddenly he was under a dog pile dead wolves. 'Fuck I have to get out of here!' He threw the wolves off and let his youkai side take over.

~ GRRRR DIE DIE DIE! ~

* They can't die they' re already dead. *

~ DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE ~

* Why do I even bother? *
"IRON REVIVER SOUL STEALER!" Inuyasha stashed his way through the pack. Being dead they felt nothing and kept coming after him and slicing into his chest. "BLADES OF BLOOD!" His blood sliced through the youkai but it was not working. Kagura's power seemed to increase and the dead seemed to be getting stronger. He had to get the Testsusaiga. Inuyasha pulled out his wand and his them saw his opening. "EXSPETORSHI!" a huge thunder shack wave ran through the ground into the half of the dead youkai causing them to explode from the inside out. Inuyasha rolled and recovered the Testsusaiga.

"I've had it with you bitch! This ends now! KAZE NO KIZU!!!" the great blast from the mighty fang ripped thought the ground and into the remaining forces. Blood rained upon the battlefield Inuyasha's stood talk and proud showing no signed of weakening. He stared Kagura in the eye and flexed his claws getting the Testsusaiga ready for another strike.

She was stunned not even a full youkai had ever stood up and diminished her forces like this. Kagura was feeling fear run through her veins. ' How can a worthless half-breed have so much power? He destroyed 50 with one strike!' She needed back up and she needed it now but there was no one left. She waves her fan and. . .

" WIND DANCE!" she sent blades of the wind at in the already bleeding hanyou.

"AHHHHHHH!!!!" The blade of the wind sliced deep in to his raw flesh. The pain was unbearable his blood was draining and he was dying. 'Kagome . . . .'
"NO! I Will NOT DIE!" with a mighty swing he cut through the wind blades to where kagura once stood. He looked up to see flying away with the hostage wolf prince on a gaint feather.

"DAMN you BITCH! You tell Naraku I'm coming to claim what's mine! I'm sending him to hell in a hand basket!" Inuyasha fell to his knees once she was gone, still causing her and the youkai the caused his life such pain.

'My lord Inuyasha you are greatly injured. The scent of blood fills the forest this night. You have chased away the shadows but they will return." A white unicorn trotted over to the fallen hanyou and tried to offer comfort.

"Seiko take me to the castle. The lady Kagome awaits my return and I shall not fall her." The unicorn knelt down so he could mount her back with little stress.

'Hang on my lord we shall be there in know time.'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"And that's how I got back. Seiko could only bring me to the main doors I walked the rest of the way." Kagome had tears in her eyes as she finished tending his wounds. She tried to blink them back but it was on use. Little diamonds fell little rain upon the bed. Inuyasha hate to see his mate so sad. He gathered her in his arms a calmed her fears and let her feel that he came back of her.

Harry whisper to Ron ad Hermione that they should leave them alone and talk later. As they left he took on final look at the hanyou couple but following the others down to the great hall for dinner. There was the proof the Harry's heart could not deny. Kagome loved Inuyasha and Inuyasha returned that love and gave her the extra feelings and care he could not. He said I silent good-bye to the quest of claiming her heart and strength his new determination to guard his friend and protect his home. Even Inuyasha didn't trust him; Inuyasha proved he was to be trusted and admired for his straight and courage. Harry smile slightly at he battle yet to come. They would work together and they would not fail.

'If all goes well we'll end this war before it start.'
