It was the middle of the afternoon, when a priest came up to the archery range where the child-priestess was practicing her skill. "Priestess Kikyo, there is someone here who wishes to speak with the Head Priestess, and I said I would have to ask her Second to be the one to meet with her."
"Very well." Kikyo states, as she eased the arrow out of the line, and placed it back in the quiver.
When she entered the hall, she found an older woman sitting in a chair going over a letter tsking the whole time.
"At least you have manners." Kikyo observed as she went and sat on another chair.
She turns and smiles at her "It a pleasure to meet you lady Priestess
Kikyo nods, "You wished to speak with the Second to the Head Priestess."
"No not really but since it's the same person yes it's about the letter my idiot partner gave you.
"I'm listening somewhat? As I have said before its a waste of my time." Kikyo responds, "I am not a witch."
"Yes, he told me as much but let me ask you this, why do you think you're not a witch? We both live in a world full of demons and spiritual magics."
"Witches are evil, and must be purified of their taint. Just as evil demons, and I have the power to do so." Kikyo answers, "Therefore, I am not a witch, because I am not evil."
"Witches are not evil any more than a normal human is at least western witch are i really don't know about eastern witches."
"You are foolish as the other." Kikyo states, "I am not a witch, I am a priestess, who is complete control of my power."
"Priestess Kikyo, Priestess Kikyo!" a young novice in training ran up, tripping on her robes. "They are back, Priestess!"
"Let me ask this would lady Maria would be friends with an evil being?" the older woman questions "Who is back?"
Kikyo stood up, without saying a word, she walked out to the courtyard, untied her hair. "Come, allow me to guide you, tragic souls."
Pomfrey followed her curious about what was happening.
"You can not do what I can." Kikyo states, as a soul collector deposited a soul into her waiting hands.
"i agree this is far from my skill"
Kikyo closed her eyes and purified the soul of the dead, before sending it upwards to the sky. "May you find your eternal rest, when I can not."
The medi-witch watch in amazement.
Kikyo purified soul after soul until the collectors didn't have any left.
"Simply amazing We were told of the power of the Priestesses but to see it."
"and you claim, I am a witch." Kikyo states, as she petted the collector, before sending it off.
"Yes, you are, if it wasn't so your name would not have been added to the roster of the school."
"Get out of my temple, and do not return. You are not welcome and neither are your kind." Kikyo demanded
"Enough Priestess." a voice states, as Sesshomaru and Maria walked into the temple grounds.
"Even Inuyasha listened better then these fools." Kikyo states
"As you wish." with that she left in the normal way.
"Freeze Poppy." Maria states
The medi-witch froze and turned to face the two demons.
"Have your kind truly gone mad in ten years?" Maria questions
Sesshomaru went and tended to the priestess, who had saved his ward from a member of the band of seven.
"No my lady it's just we never had to deal with a situation such as this."
"Then let me assure you, that Kikyo is not a witch, she is a priestess, as she has so claimed twice. The first time, she had come to us, and I wanted to strangle Severus with my own hands." Maria states "Since you will not listen to the words of a grown woman in the body of an eleven year old human."
"Then how is it the her name is in the roster for the school as well?"
"I was born to protect Harry Potter-Taisho." Kikyo answers. "I am a priestess, who is unable to be corrupted."
"Poppy, may I use you as a messenger?" Maria questions
'"But of course My lady."
"Tell Albus and Minerva that I request a meeting between us and them. If Kikyo consents to attend a meeting." Maria responds "and if Albus declines tell him, I said I will come and drag him out by his beard."
Poppy chuckles and agrees to deliver the message.
Kikyo nods, to Maria. "I will meet with them, but that doesn't mean I will be going to where I do not belong."
Poppy nods and heads out of the temple her shoulders shake with mirth.
"Kikyo, I hate to ask this of you, but to convince them, you need to come clean about what you really are, Priestess of Two Souls." Maria states
"Very well but only to the headmaster ."
"Kikyo, Minerva is the Headmaster's Second, so she must know as well." Maria replies
"Very well, I will inform her as well."
"We were coming to inform you about Harry's acceptance into Hogwarts, however this does pose a problem." Sesshomaru comments, "Come to the manor, and see Harry?"
Three hours later, Kikyo, Maria and Sesshomaru were sitting on the sofa, in Maria's office. Awaiting on the two in charge of Hogwarts. Kikyo stood up and went over to a bookshelf to see what there was to read. The book, she found was titled 'Demons in history by Maria Taisho' as she read the book, a servant came to the room "My Lord and Lady, your guests are here."
"See them to my office. Bring trays of dinner in here, I believe this is going to be a long meeting." Maria instructed
"Yes, my lady, it will be done."
Maria and Sesshomaru looked through the files on the desk, they were profiles of their child-subjects enrolled at Hogwarts.
The two magicals enter the room and bow to the two demons and the Priestess.
"Respectful as it is, you have no demon blood." Sesshomaru comments, before glaring at the servant to leave.
"Of course Lord Sesshomaru you wanted to see us about someone."
"Your acceptance letters were sent out as usual, but you have a priestess on your roll of future students." Maria answers
"Yes we now understand that and we were gonna to apologize to her and let her be."
"I detect a falsehood on your part." Kikyo spoke up.
But then Minerva asked "we could ask her to be a guest speaker."
Kikyo laughed "Why would I ever agree to that, when no one would listen to me?"
"Even an old fool as I am can see the need to widen our children knowledge. " Dumbledore said while giving a charming smile.
"Even your staff members didn't listen to me, all you see is the outer shell and not the woman beneath, I am not a child. I maybe physically eleven years of age, but I am not my mind is at the age of eighteen, which was a full grown woman in the Feudal Era." Kikyo replies, "And your smile does nothing to me."
Maria passed the files. "I am thinking of recalling these students as well. Since you're so blind in your ways."
"Now lady maria surely there is no need to go this far and we can come to an agreement." He was looking less sure of himself now.
"I don't see how it is unfair, these students are being ridiculed for not being fully magical, so why would I allow such a being to face the same ridicule?" Maria questions
Kikyo stood up and put the book aside, she went and read over the files. "Is Harry attending?"
"We were waiting to receive his response but we hope so." McGonagall says sincerely.
Sesshomaru looks over at his mate for her answer on that question.
"You do know I am the one raising him?" Maria questions "It is my decision to allow him to go or not. As well as Sirius, but that lout wants to turn my boy into a mini-James. I will not have that." she turned to Kikyo, "Why do you ask?"
"If you decide to let Harry attend this school, which I do not believe exists, I will attend as well only on my terms." Kikyo answers
"We can also improve the environment for these students as well and for all future students especially since most seem to go to Gryffindor and Ravenclaw?"
McGonagall looks over at the headmaster as if to tell him something but won't voice in front of others.
"Only thing that will change about that school is when you step down as Headmaster and allow someone who will put the staff members in their place in charge." Maria answers
Dumbledore was deep in thought knowing that this was a possibility he still didn't want to lose the support of the demons and definitely not lose the last heir to the Potter name.
"If you think you will use someone taught by demons, to future your plans for some 'great destiny.' You will not have to worry about retiring, they will be planning a funeral." Maria promised
"No my lady all i wish is for there for there to a continuous working relationship between us?"
Kikyo was getting a little annoyed at being ignored, "Old Timers!"
They all turn to face her curious as to what she wants.
"You wish for a bridge between demons and your kind, do you not?" why not use me as that bridge. Since I am already a being with two souls." Kikyo answers
"Lady Kikyo, that is a wonderful idea." the witch agreed to this plan.
"Two Souls? How is one born with two souls?" Dumbledore questions
Kikyo grins, and closed her eyes and began to pray the four adults in the room, seen the transparent spirits that reside in the body of the current priestess named after Kikyo. "I was resurrected from death, by a demon but when I died for a second time, my soul that is Kikyo merged with the creator of the Shikon No Tama, Midoriko to be reborn again."
The two magicals saw this and was in awe "This is amazing, how could this be? I thought the jewel of four souls was just an old wives' tale."
"No, it was real and I guarded it. Before my first death. I am the original Kikyo, reborn and yet I am Midoriko as well." Kikyo answers
There was a knock on the door "My Lady, your dinner is here." The servant smiled as the food was brought in "Master Harry picked the meal today he said to make it special for everyone/"
The servants set trays in front of everyone and without a word left the room.
Sesshomaru and Maria shared a nervous expression.
Minerva saw this and asked "Why such a nervous look?"
"We don't allow the children to pick the meals..." Sesshomaru explains
"Well I'm sure then we might avoid this then as it might be not as we expect it."
Kikyo went and picked up a tray and looked at its contents. She saw it was made of Harry's favorites foods and what appears to be several stuffed buns.
"Heartattack on a plate." Kikyo muttered to which the demons just smirked.
"Well it doesn't look to bad but I'm afraid to know whats in the buns?" McGonagall eyed the plate warily.
"Pork, what did you think we would serve cat?" Maria questions
"No, I just never really like stuffed buns since i was a young lady."
"You never had them Japanese style." Kikyo answers, as she broke it in half and ate a half.
"Minerva, you are young compare to us." Maria commented as she didn't eat the meal. Since demons rarely ate.
"True and i would be very rude not to at least try them " she took one and bit into it while Dumbledore ate with gusto. "Your right on that point." she hummed at the taste "Oh My these are quite good."
Maria watched them, as she heard scratching at the door, she pressed her lips not to growl at Keiko, who was three years of age, and a full terror. She then heard a soft growl and foot steps of Alison walking away from the door.
"Really got to housebreak that pup." Sesshomaru muttered
"I haven't housebroke you." Maria retorted
Sesshomaru just smiles and squeezed her hand in affection.
Kikyo was surprised when no one asked what her terms were concerning going to a school in a world that wasn't hers.
After a few minutes "Now lady priestess, what do you need for you're coming to our school."
"I will not conform to your school, I will not attend classes where the instructor is a bully, I will practice my faith openly without question, and I will defend myself if need be, and I will have my bow and quiver of arrows with me." Kikyo states, "I will not attend where I sense evil."
"Very well, I see no problem of that."
"Agreed." Kikyo states
DarkPriestess66: This Kikyo does not live in Japan, she lives in a secluded temple in England, she was named after the original Kikyo.
