The next day, Kikyo returned to the manor, to find Harry excited about going to a school for people with magical talent.
"Hey Kikyo-chan, Momma told me you're coming as well but why you're a priestess not that i care having a friend come with me make me feel better so your coming with us to the shopping area?" he said this with out talking a breath.
"First off, you're English. Stop using Japanese suffixes." Kikyo replies, "Secondly, apparently, I was accepted as well to this Hogwarts. Which thinks I am a witch, which I am not."
Harry sighs "Yes I'm English but i also was raise Japanese style and as to the rest it's just their mistake but think of it this way you might learn something new anyway if the school fit you of course.
"No, you weren't you raised as a demon." Kikyo retorts
"They are both Japanese anyway if you don't like it, i won't do it again?" Harry smiles "You still didn't say if you're coming with us."
"You do not seem to understand, they are not Japanese, they lived in Japan yes, but it was a territory to them, they do not hold with nationality." Kikyo replies "and sadly, I am going with you."
"why don't you want to go this will be fun."
"I was raised in a cloistered temple, which no one ventured out aside from myself. Shopping isn't fun for me." Kikyo replies
"Don't think of it as a shopping trip think of it as your first step to a new world."
"My world is just fine. I do not belong anywhere." Kikyo replies
"Are you two done arguing? I've been standing here for like five minutes." Maria questions
"We are not arguing Momma I learned better than that with her and we're ready to go right."
"Sounds like it to me." Maria answers "And Kikyo has a point, Sesshomaru and I are Dog Demons, that is all we are." she felt a tug at her pants leg, and found Keiko there looking up at her with puppy dog eyes.
Harry smiles, knowing she was gonna ask to come as well." Can Keiko as well please."
Maria rolled her eyes, and bent to pick up the toddler, "How did you manage to get away from your father?"
"Me genius." Keiko answers
Harry snickers Kikyo shakes her head "So can she please I promise I'll keep an eye on her as well."
"Fine." Maria looked up at the open window where Sesshomaru was looking out. "I'm taking Keiko with me."
Sesshomaru looked at her and smiles with a wave. as everyone piles in to the car and Harry puts his little sister in her car seat.
Maria drove until she reached the section of London that she hadn't be to in years, where the Leaky cauldron was located.
Harry sat in the back playing with Keiko and looking out the window every once in a while.
Maria paralleled parked, and shut off the engine. "Well, let's start this trip."
"Okay lets go as he grabs Keiko and puts her down and hold her hand "You ready as well Kei?"
Maria got out and went around, picking up Keiko. "I don't think I want her to walk around the places we're going."
Harry nods and follows her to the building "He stares at it confused and rubbing his eyes.
"What?" Maria questions as she held open the door.
"Nothing it just felt like i was seeing two different things at the same time."
"You were." Kikyo answers, "There is a magical barrier around this place, one to repel non-magical humans."
'Cool I hope to learn magic like that, think how much help that could be to the guards, it could be."
"The guard doesn't need help unless its to keep you out." Maria answers as she kept the eleven year old's close to her, when her silvery hair got attention, as she switched off her enchantment.
"Mom, I didn't right now i mean when I'm older and can serve like some of my friends want to."
"Plans and ideas change." Maria replies, as she growled at each person trying to get to her son.
"Well for now its my goals to be a guard and help protect Alison and Yasha."
"They do not need or want protection." Maria answers "That only makes them seem weak and useless."
Harry just nods and follows her through the back door with a lost look.
Maria used her pointed claw to tap a code into the brick wall.
"Wow this is wild its better than the market back home so where to first?"
"Gringotts, the wizarding bank. I have an appointment with the Head Goblin there." Maria answers
Harry nods at just looks around staying close to his mother.
Kikyo was being assaulted on all sides by scent, sound and sight, and spiritual senses as well.
"Kikyo, do you need a break? I'm sure they might have something you can use." Harry asked with concern.
Kikyo wanted to punched Harry in the face. "No, You do not have my senses there is darkness here. A lot of it."
"Ow ow Kikyo, that hurts just because I heal fast don't mean that don't hurt."
"Harry got a booboo" Keiko giggles as the group enters the bank.
Maria rolled her eyes, but she agreed with Kikyo, Harry deserved the punch.
Harry was still rubbing his nose as Maria steps up to the counter "Yes my lady how may i be of service to you?" The goblin asked.
"I want to speak with the Head Goblin." Maria states
"Of course, My Lady. I'll take you to his office tight now."
Maria nods
They are lead to a rear office and asked to have a seat while the goblin walks to the next room.
Maria continues to stand, she wasn't going to sit, because she was not going to lower herself to be treated as anything other then a equal.
A few minutes later an older goblin walks in dressed in a fine suit he bows to Maria and Kikyo. "My lady and Priestess, you honor me this day, please have a seat while I have some tea brought in." He snaps his fingers and a clerk enters the room.
"No tea, we're not here for a visit." Maria states
The goblin just smiles "Very well then what business can we facilitate for you."
"Should have done this ten years ago, but I want to open James and Lily Potters' Last Will in Testament, and the Trust Vault of the Potters moved into my own Vault."
"Very well then this will take a moment and we will issue a new key to the vaults to you in a matter of minutes will there be anything else you need? "
"Don't let anyone into the vaults unless its myself of those baring the mark of the Royal Family of the Demonic Realm." Maria answers
"Yes, it shall be done." He looks over several papers that appeared on his desk. "Lady Maria, it seems that there is a debt owed to the potters from lady potters sister what would you like done with it?"
"Which sister?" Maria questions "Because she had two of them, one swore by demonic law and custom and the other by birth?"
"Her birth sister and her husband. "
"What is this debt?" Maria asks
"Her home and a 'gift' of a dowry to be repaid by the fifth year of their first born." He passed the papers over to her so that she could read them.
"Jealousy just rewarded. I want copies of these papers, I will have fun with this, I do not like Petunia and I dislike her husband even more, since he is a lousy businessman, and I should know, my mate and I own the company he works for as well."
"Of course my lady." Just then a clerk walks in and hands the goblin a set of keys and a ledger and a large envelope to him.
"Last thing, I wish to make a withdraw but I will not be going down that stupid roller coaster you goblins invented to scare the crap out of the magicals."
He just chuckles and calls the front "How much will you be needing."
Maria named a figure of galleons.
"The galleons will be at the front counter ready for you when you leave." The group stood and left the office and picked up the bag of galleons and head out to the alley.
Maria lead Harry and Kikyo around the alley and went to the stores stopping in the Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.
Maria and Kikyo sat while Harry was getting measured for his school robes.
While Madam Malkin gathered the cloth another boy was there "Are you going to Hogwarts as well ,I have mother picking up my books and father getting my potions supplies then were off to look at brooms, do you play quidditch?"
"No." Harry answers "Yes, to Hogwarts."
"So do you know what house your gonna be in, I know I'm gonna be in Slytherin." he look over at where Kikyo was sitting. "Look at that girl, she must be a muggle born that poor girl, her type shouldn't even be allowed here." the sneer clear on his face.
"Considering Kikyo is the first Priestess to be invited to join a school for wizards and witches, I would watch your tongue." Harry retorts
The boy snorts "You think i care what jumped up title she gives herself, and how do you even know her name?"
"Because I am a Prince of the Demonic Realm." Harry answers
The boy was about to answer when the assistant said he was done. the boy left the shop giving Kikyo the stink-eye as he passed her.
Kikyo noticed and didn't favor a respond, because the boy was untried and untested, he would soon learn that power came in different forms.
Once Harry was done his looked as if he was a full demon, he would have transformed right there and bit the boy in half.
When Harry was being fitted, screams of terror and spell casting was heard from the outside of the shop.
Harry did what he was always told to do grab Keiko and hide somewhere away from the battle.
Kikyo and Maria looked at each other, and went out to see what the trouble was and if anything there was anything they can do about it. There was a demon who resembled a large bat, who had a terrified blond in his claws.
"I won't be able to attack with my sword, I might hit the human." Maria states
"Just catch the boy, I'll handle the demon as she knocks and raised her bow.
Kikyo fired her arrow, aim was true and hit the demon straight in the heart, before Maria could even catch the human child, a blur ran by and caught him.
Maria caught the scent of a half-demon, a child of one of the dog demons that joined their pack once Sesshomaru officially claimed his father's title.
"wheewww, Does this one smell you sure he's still alive? My lady" a young boy asked as he held the familiar blonde at arms length.
"You may put him down, young one." Maria orders, as two other blonde people rush forward, as excepted that they were his parents.
"with pleasure My lady." He did so and wen over to maria's side of the street and with a smile and a bow he greets her .
Maria racked her brain of the youngster's name, and came up blank.
"Aiden, ma'am, and its a very pleasurable to meet one such as you, dear Priestess." Aiden greets, bending over and kissing Kikyo's hand, which she took back and grimaced.
"One such as I should never be touched by your gender." Kikyo responds "I am the Sacred Priestess destined to be reborn as herself to learn from the past."
"Of course my Lady forgive my slip." he smiles and looks over at the whole situation "well i did say i wanted something exciting to happen this year at school." Aiden jokes.
Maria walked forward, "As by Wizarding Law, this boy owes Priestess Kikyo a life-debt."
The boy's father growled. "You are quite right, Lady Maria. so Draco come here, give your thanks and accept your debt to the Priestess."
Kikyo blinked and was sure this was Maria's way of interfering with the grand design.
Draco steps forward with a sour expression and bowed deeply. "I Draco Malfoy Accept the life debt and will gladly pay it off when the time comes even at the cost of my own life." he said the plead in a very monotone voice.
"I will decide how and when you will pay off your life-debt to me." Kikyo answers, she understood that part, she felt a type of magic making a magical deal between them.
He bows and walks back to his fathers side "thank you Lady priestess for saving my son." the man looks like an older version of his son his voice was oily and very refine.
Kikyo nods, but felt herself recoil from this man, there was dark aura around him. "You will fall from grace one day, and only then you will see you are in the wrong." she turned and continued with Maria with shopping.
Maria found her children hidden in the back of the store with harry holding his sleeping little sister "I swear Kei you could sleep through a earthquake." he laughs and holds her close.
"She gets that from me, your father learned the hard way never wake me up." Maria explains, as she took her sleeping pup in her arms.
Harry stood up and dusted his jeans "so can we finish please I'm getting hungry and i don't want anymore excitement." he asked politely.
Aiden followed as his mother was busy working, he always shopped alone. Maria accepted his company as he was close to Kikyo and Harry's age, and judging by his growth he was in his second year. "Mum's a witch, my dad was a demon, he died protecting mother and me from rogue death eaters, hotheads who aren't ready to give up the fight for pure-blood supremacy."
"So Aiden can you tell me about the school and teachers i should be weary of ?" Harry asked just talking in a normal way.
"And ruin the surprise of the school for you first years? No thanks." Aiden laughed
Harry just growls "Those are waste of air, this is one time I wish Mother and Father could follow the old rules with those jerks."
"There will come a time when demons and half-demons alike will fight for their freedom to be whoever and whatever they want." Aiden states, "Mother believes it and so do I." he then grinned "I just proved to you, that not all snakes are evil."
"I didn't think they were Mother made sure that i didn't judge anyone just by rumors and hear say."
They finished the shopping and began to head out back to the car and the manor.
Aiden watched the leave and walked along the path to home, he didn't live in the Demonic Realm, he lived in the wizarding world, until he was seventeen, then he would chose which side to be on and who to obey.
Once they all got home the servants gathers all of the purchases and brought them to the manor and Harry carried the sleeping child to her room."
"Well that was kinda fun except for the Jerk and the rouge but i really hope for a quite year." Harry states
"Good luck with that." Kikyo answers, as she went to the guest wing, because she was staying here for a ride to the train station, she looked at her meager purchases, the one thing was missing from her own list was a wand, because none of them chose her.
Harry heads up to his room and showers and goes to find Remus and Sirius and tells them what happened.
Sirius was horrified, and he wanted to go to Kikyo, but he didn't dare until she was ready.
Kikyo was laying on the bed, with her eyes closed as she thought about things. She focused on the letter, and sat straight up as the names connected 'Black.' she got up and went to where the important staff members of the Royal family lived such as tutors and advisers, which Sirius and Remus were now.
Harry was sitting in the room with them talking and a quill drawing a map of some kind at the same time.
Kikyo burst into the room, her eyes intent, "You." she was looking at Sirius.
His head snapped up and faced her "Yes Kikyo?"
"Are..my...father." Kikyo finished "Now I know why your aura is similar to my own."
He stood with a sigh "Yes I am, I knew since i first saw you your the exact copy of your mother Linda" he wipes his eye "I wanted to grab you right then and there and hug you but cooler heads won.'
"Then you would be disowned, no man may touch me." Kikyo replies "I am Sacred, I am not suppose to be touched by man."
"Yes I know that now but still i just wish Linda would have told me about you."
"Would that have changed anything, I am still a priestess. Always have been one even in my past lives." Kikyo answers
"no that's why i never pushed the fact but still may i officially place your name in the book of black as my daughter?"
"No." Kikyo answers "I know my own fate and that does not include being an Heiress to a Noble Family of Darkness."
With a sad sigh he drops the matter, they talked till dinner.
Sirius looked at Sesshomaru, who nods at the informal request to speak after dinner.
Sesshomaru met Sirius in the parlor, and handed out a glass of brandy. "I find the taste good enough for one such as I."
"Thank you my lord.' he took the glass and had sip " My Lord can you tell me about Kikyo's past life as much as you can tell me?'
"Kikyo was a village priestess, her powers of purification was known throughout the lands, tended the ill, kept demons away from the villages in her keeping, she found and tended to a bandit by the name of Onigumo, who gave up his soul to be devoured by demons thus Naraku was born. She was tasked to protect and keep the Jewel of four Souls pure. But before then, Kikyo met a half-breed named InuYasha, she didn't slay him because of his human blood. As fate would have it, they fell in love."
The two talked well into the night with Sesshomaru telling him all he remembers of the girls past.
"She believes she is fated to die again and again to atone for her past?" Sirius questions
"Yes, she is." Sesshomaru says "And she is to guide and protect Harry as well."
"Fate can always be changed. I did some rather bad things, when I was the walking dead." Kikyo states, as she walked in, "Auras sleeping are rather hard to read then auras when they are awake."
"Well then I hope your fate changes for the best and that you get your final reward."
"I tried to take the only man I ever allowed myself to love to hell with me, I tried to kill my own reincarnation because of the fact, my former love and her were growing closer." Kikyo admits, she then smiled tenderly "I had the pleasure of dying peacefully in his arms for the second time. Only to find myself here in the future."
"Yes can slowly understand that now i hope this will be the last time you're put through this."
"I doubt that." Kikyo replies, "I went from being one of the walking dead, to being something that is neither human, demon, or priestess. I am born of two with magical powers that I do not share."
"Yes Kikyo, you are in a unique position as both a child/adult and a priestess but just know you do have people to help in any way they can."
"How can you possibly be of any help, when you call my charge by his birth father's name?" Kikyo questions, "he is not James, he's more Sesshomaru's son then James' right now."
"I know he's My Lords son but he's still my brother's son as well and I'm not trying to argue with you about that.
"Any sane person would ask why an eleven year old is still awake at this time of night." Kikyo states, as she turned and walked out of the room, heading to the courtyard.
Sirius looks over at at Sesshomaru "Did she just call us Nuts?"
"You maybe, but I am going to watch her with the spirits." Sesshomaru answers, as he walked out of the room. He turned back "You coming?"
"Yes I am this will be nice to see."
The two went out to the courtyard, and Sirius gapped at the sight of a hundred spirit orbs, surrounding Kikyo, who danced among them, as she played with the spirits.
Sirius shook his head just to make sure he was seeing right "that is both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.
"Those are not spirits of adults." Sesshomaru realized as Kikyo took a spirit in her hands and spun around with it, before the orb floated upward to the star filled sky.
"and why hasn't she gone around the bend."
"You mean why she hasn't gone crazy by what she does?" Sesshomaru questions
"Yes I've known senior Aurors that couldn't handle seeing this and not at the least need a drink.
"She is not them, she has always been of two worlds, the living and the dead, her power comes from her spirit. She rivals her past self, Kagome-San, and even Midoriko, because she has the powers of both of her former lives."
"That i have to take your word even Shippo never went far in to the priestess' power and the wizards never studied to much either."
"There many different types of priestesses." Kikyo answered as she sent the last child-orb off.
"Yes I do remember that much from my lessons but i really think they should have put more study into it."
"Everyone of the Order wouldn't leave to teach of such to wizards and witches, who are our natural enemies." Kikyo replies
"I didn't say they should I'm just saying that wizards should."
"Two of Hogwarts staff members were convinced that I am a witch, I am not, as proof that no wand ever chose me." Kikyo replies, "Your kind do not listen to anyone other then their peers."
"Sadly yes your right to many of us choose to live in isolation and till now i was like that as well."
Before they knew it, it was September 1st, the manor was busy for very early in the morning, servants were rushing to get the Young Master's truck ready along with a few other items that were going with him, such as his Royal crest he would wear on the inside of his robes. Harry himself was now nervous about going to a boarding school away from home.
"Harry, hurry your rear up." Maria called as she seen that the servants put the last trunk in the car.
"Coming just getting my boots on."
Kikyo was already by Maria, seething.
Harry ran down the stairs and flew in to his seat in the car hair still wet from trying to fix it once more.
The driver was ordered to King's Cross Station.
Once at the train station everyone got out and got two trolleys to carry their trunks and bags.
Maria lead the way, until she came to Platforms 9 and 10.
Harry stared at the wall. "Mom, you sure this is the spot?"
"Yes, come on, you two." Maria states, "Aim directly at the center of the pillar."
Harry nods and runs into pillar with Kikyo following once through harry saw the train and his jaw dropped.
"See, and you thought I was going mad in my old age." Maria laughed
"Mom, you going mad has nothing to do with age." harry jokes. "It putting up with five unruly pups."
"Oi mate keep it moving others got to get through."
Maria turned and snarled "Show some respect for your elders, boy."
A red head set of twin saw her and paled "Y-y-yes Ma'am."
Kikyo looked at the two and then ignored them, and headed to put her trunk, with the others being loaded up on the train.
They were followed by another red headed boy and Maria caught a familiar scent off the red heads.
"Molly." Maria greets as she seen the mother of this brood of red hair children.
The red head matron looks up and smiles "Lady Maria, its so good to see you once more, are you here to teach once more?"
"No, just dropping off my son and his friend." Maria answers, "Perhaps, after we discharge our parental duties, we're go catch up, have lunch?"
"Oh that will be wonderful we still haven't thanked you for the help you gave those years back."
The two youngest redheads look at the two and gave a wave and then turn to harry and Kikyo and smile.
"No need, We were and still are on the same side, but I have to see to my son." Maria states, as she walked over to Harry, "Let's go, young ones."
"Okay i want to find a good seat not to near the rear."
Maria went and watched the two board the train, she hugged and kissed Harry, she looked at Kikyo, with a silent exchange that they both understood.
Harry gave a hug and with a wave "See you at holidays and I'll write when we get settled, okay mom."
Maria nods, "You better write to me about everything, and I mean if your teachers are jerks, I am your mother, and I will be there to ensure you get the best education, possible."
Harry nods with a slight blush, he went to the sit down by the window fiddling with a chain he made at that week, he met Kikyo. He sighed as he looked out the window as the train started to head out.
Kikyo sat on the other bench seat, looking out the window, her thoughts were her own.
They sat for a few minutes when the door opened to their compartment and Harry heard a familiar voice "Hey Harry glad i found ya." Aiden called with a wide smile.
Another second later, the red haired boy from before peaked here, "Can I sit here, everywhere is full?"
"Sure Plenty of room I was just heading back to my friends just checking up on Harry here." Aiden answers, as he left to go sit with his own friends, who were not in his House.
"Hi I'm Ron its nice to meet you."
"Hello I'm Harry and this is Kikyo." Harry said remembering his lessons in manners for his mother.
Kikyo looked and deemed Ron not worth her attention, so far. She returned to looking out the window.
The two boys began to talk of things boys normally talk about and wondering about the classes " So Kikyo how do you think the classes are gonna be like?" Ron asked finally remembering she was there.
"Why are you asking me?" Kikyo questions, "I am not here to be a student in your sense of the word."
Ron looks at her confused "But your a witch to aren't you?"
"No, I am a priestess, I do not have magic, but spiritual power." Kikyo answers
"Huh a priestess?" his face scrunched up in thought "OH, My brother Bill told me about them, but why are you here?"
"Because your kind don't know a priestess from a hole in the ground." Kikyo replies, "I am here to serve as a guide and bodyguard."
Harry looks over at his friend "You know you never did explain that one to me?"
"To which?" Kikyo questions
"The guide part a guard i understand given who mom and dad are."
"'Who's your mom and dad?" Ron asked
"Let's just say, I was given insight on what is to come, and you need someone to guide you in the right path." Kikyo answers
"Which set of parents, I have two?" Harry questions.
"Well the one who dropped you off and your adopted?"
"Yes, I am adopted, more to the point, I was rescued, my birth-mother's sister, hates all things magic." Harry answers, "I am Harry Potter-Taisho, son to Sesshomaru and Maria Taisho of the Demonic Realm."
Ron's eyes goes wide "Mum told me about you, and what Lady Maria did at the Ministry." He gave a shudder at the memory "To think i used to play with that rat all the time."
"Mom does have a way with getting what she wants, if my birth parents were alive, I would think I would still known her as an aunt." Harry replies
Ron just nods "To right on that part Dad still talks about it." Ron's face darkens as he looks down.
"To which I am here to serve as a guard. Demons and humans alike will be after the part human son of the Lord and Lady." Kikyo states, "maybe I should have said that as well...to the Headmaster...nah."
"Part Human ?" The red head looks over at Harry.
"Yeah I was Blood Adopted by Mom and dad which made me part demon." Harry answers
"At least you don't have two souls." Kikyo commented as she looked at window.
Just then a bushy hair girl stuck her head in and asked "Pardon me Have any of you seen a toad hopping by here?"
Kikyo shook her head, "No."
"Nope sorry." Ron said Harry turns and said the same the girl saw the scar and her jaw dropped "Oh my goodness, you're Harry Potter, your famous there all kinds books written about you."
"Fictional Lies, I assure you." Harry replied "I didn't do anything except crap my Nappie and wonder why my mummy wasn't waking up to hold me, at a year old."
The girl looked shocked at the language Harry used then looks over at Ron and Kikyo. "Oh sorry I'm being rude my name is Hermione Granger." she put her hand out to shake.
"I am not to be touched." Kikyo states, as she looked down at the girl's hand. She turned her attention back to the window.
