"I'm back Remus!" called Sirius as he entered the house. It was actually a fairly large house though it was abandoned beforehand so Remus and Sirius had just fixed it up. They had both refused to live at Grimmauld Place where everyone believed Harry was guilty, so they stayed here.

Remus walked downstairs to see that Sirius had placed himself at the kitchen table. He seemed to be deep in thought. "How did it go?" Remus asked grimly.

Sirius turned to look at his friend. A sad smile graced his lips as he looked at him. "Don't look so grim Moony. It went fine; Harry's fine."

Remus looked shocked. "Sirius, you did go to Azkaban right? Where the Dementors are guarding the prisoners?"

Sirius sighed. He nodded his head toward the other chair around the table and Remus sat down.

"It may sound weird, even crazy, but Harry was fine. The person in the cell beside him seems to be saving his life."

"How?" asked a flabbergasted Remus.

"It seems as though she can create barriers. And they're pure and invisible so it protects both her and Harry. Though I think it is connected to her life force because she seemed weak."

"A girl?"

"Yeah a girl. Though the only known female supporters of Voldemort are Narcissia Malfoy and my dear cousin." Sirius spat out the last few words.

"So it is unknown as to who it is."

"Yes, though she reminded me of someone."

"What did she look like?" Remus asked, curious to see who this girl may be.

"Well, from what I could tell, she had brown eyes that reminded me of cinnamon and defiantly black hair though it seemed to be very long. Almost down to her thighs. And… Remus… her name was Kagome." Silence met Sirius' remark.

Remus' head fell into his hands for a minute before he raised his head. "We don't know if it was her Padfoot. For all we know, it's just some random girl."

"Yeah some other girl who looks exactly like a grown up version of the one year old Kagome we knew; has the same name and she's the right age. Her birthday is even in September Moony!"

"But it can't be her… can it?" Remus asked quietly.

"It just might be. Besides, I promised I wouldn't go back until they are free. Both of them."

Remus looked at Sirius. Slowly a smirk crept up on his face. "See this is why I don't send you on missions, Padfoot. You always come back with more work to do," said Remus.

It took Sirius a few minutes to realize he had been insulted and by that time Remus was out of his reach. But that didn't stop Sirius. He leapt up from the chair.

"Remus, you get back here right now so I can kill you!"

"So why would I go over there if you're going to kill me?" said Remus as he put the table between them for safety.

"Get back here!" Sirius yelled as he started to chase Remus out of the room. It was just like when they were kids when Remus would insult Sirius then waited for him to catch on, and then run around the room trying to stay away from him.

Three Years Later:

"Padfoot?"

"Hmm, five more minutes…"

"Padfoot, wake up."

"Hmm go away…"

"Fine, I'll go get Harry and Kagome myself then." That got him out of bed. Sirius was so fast that Remus - who had enhanced senses because he was a werewolf - couldn't see him. Sirius threw on some robes then rushed out his bedroom door. Five seconds later his head was back, poking around the doorframe.

"Come on Moony, you're taking forever."

Remus sighed at his friend's antics but left the room just the same. There was no telling how long a person could survive being in Sirius' room with what might be growing under the piles of his clothes.

Remus walked down the stars to the front door, which he saw was open with Sirius waiting outside tapping his foot waiting for Remus. Remus went out the door then turned around and locked the door with his key. Sirius rolled his eyes at his friend's muggle ways but didn't comment.

Both men looked at each other before then apparating away. They arrived on seashore, which an island could be made out in the distance from. They went over to a store only visible to wizards and bought a portkey over to the island (instead of a boat) after showing the required information.

When Remus and Sirius showed up on the island, two aurors were waiting for them and took their portkey before leading them inside the prison fortress of Azkaban.

The aurors led them down deep into the ground to the cells that belonged to Harry and Kagome. It was very unlike Sirius' visit three years ago.

Even with the help of Kagome's barrier, the Dementors seemed to have been able to get to them still.

Sirius and Remus quickly went into the cells as the aurors opened them. Sirius went to Harry and Remus went to Kagome.

"Harry, are you alright?" said Sirius rushing over to his godson who sat with his back against the cell wall with his knees drawn up in front of him. Harry looked up at Sirius with blank eyes. When he saw Sirius, some emotion – was it happiness? – drifted into his eyes.

"Sirius? You're back?" said Harry's weak voice.

"Of course kid. Do you think I would forget about you?"

A small, sad smile crept up on Harry's face. "Never."

"Good, now let's get you and Kagome out of here."

In the other cell, Remus walked in. he could see that Kagome was lying on the cot barely conscious. He went over to her and gently picked her up as though she were a young child with her head leaning against his chest and her feet dangling in the air as Remus had his arm under her knees for support.

Kagome could feel herself being moved and she looked up into a pair of deep brown eyes. Immediately she knew she could trust this person and let herself fall into unconsciousness.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Once back at Remus' house, Remus carried Kagome upstairs into one of his three spare bedrooms (the house was meant for 5 people). He placed her in bed as he heard Sirius help bring Harry up the stairs and bring him to another empty room. Remus checked to make sure Kagome was fine before going over to the room as well.

Harry was still awake and he seemed to refuse to get into the bed.

"I want to see Kagome first."

"You can see her tomorrow Harry. Now get into bed," said Sirius.

"Not until I see – "

"You won't be able to talk to her Harry. She is either asleep or unconscious," interrupted Remus as he leant against the doorframe.

"Is she alright?" Harry asked, genuinely concerned.

"As far as I can tell, yes. Though she is completely exhausted." Harry sighed then sat down on the bed and leaned his head against the headboard on the bed with his eyes closed. He almost looked like he had gone to sleep. Sirius moved to get him more comfortable but stopped when Harry spoke those his eyes were still closed.

"I'm not asleep yet Sirius. I can move myself just fine."

"Oh. Alright." Harry opened his eyes and looked at the two men that had saved his and his friends life.

"Thank you two so much. It was horrible there," Harry said as he moved to get underneath the blankets.

Sirius and Remus looked at each other and Sirius nodded to Remus. He sighed then spoke. "Harry, what happened? When Sirius was last there, he said a barrier had kept you safe but now you look terrible."

Harry shot a glance at Remus. "I would tell you Moony, but I think I should wait for Kagome… and after I got some rest," he said with a smirk.

"Oh how stupid of me. Of course Harry get some rest first."

"Thanks Moony. Then I promise I will tell you exactly what happened." Then Harry was in bed and the two men left to give their best friend's son some rest.

Author's Note: I am so very sorry it took me so long to update! But I have now! and this isn't just one chapter, but two combined into one. I hope that makes some people happy. As for this story it will be continued, just it will take longer to update because I prefer to write my two other stories. But I will update it and hopefully and most likely, the wait for the next chapter will not be as long.

Next Chapter: Harry tells Sirius and Remus about his and Kagome's imprisonment at Azkaban and Remus reveals why he and Sirius are so interested in who Kagome is.
