Maria sees her pup in pain and want to reach out to him but the priestess stops her with but a look.
After a few seconds, Kikyo let her hand drop away.
Harry laid on the floor crying and huddled in a ball whimpering like a lost pup.
Kikyo stroked Harry's hair. "You're such a wimp. I wasn't hurting you."
"Am not that hurt dammit all, Kikyo worst than when i had that spill in potions." Harry frowned his eyes still closed as he tries to stand.
"Considering its been ten years of having that thing living inside you, and you were resisting the entire time. Next time, don't resist. I am trying to help you." Kikyo states
"I didn't you know me better, sis." He said without even thinking about it.
"I'm not part of your family, Harry. I sensed you were resisting." Kikyo replies, as she stood up, she turned and left the room, heading out of the estate.
"Kikyo, yes, you are, my third sister even is you don't think so." He mutters as he turns to his mother. "Momma, I'm sorry."
"For what?" Maria questions, "As for Kikyo, she already has her family, and sadly, we are not them."
"For not being strong like you and poppa." He looks over to the door. "Why can't we be apart of it."
"Because she was raised differently, she isn't a demon, she isn't a witch, she doesn't process magic as you do, her power comes from her spirit, she is a Priestess, her family is the Temple and those within it." Maria replies, "She treats us with respect and we treat her with respect in return because if she wanted she could destroy us. Midoriko and the other Kikyo was and still is that powerful."
"Okay momma, let get some get rest lets head out."
"You get some rest, I have to attend to your father." Maria replies, as she walked out of the room.
Sirius went over and picked up Harry, who was still having trouble standing. "Come on, let's get you to bed."
"I'm fine, i can stand up." He takes few steps and nearly falls over.
"Sure, you are." Remus mused as he took Harry's other side, Noriko watched silently.
Harry just looks green in the face as he tries to be like his father. Harry fusses for a bit and continues down the hall to his room.
Yasha was waiting in Harry's room, with a tray of sweets.
Harry walked in and saw the tray "Okay Ya-Kun, what's the bribe for." Harry makes his way over to his bed for once not even going for his favorite fudge bars.
"No reason, everyone else is making time for you, to confide your pre-teen woes, so I might as well share in the Family Bonding." Yasha replies, as he lounged across the love seat, seeing as most of their friends didn't want to sit on the bed hanging out, they had chairs or sofas in the bedrooms.
"I'm sorry, Ya-Kun, I'm being a jerk to you, I heard Kikyo tell momma that a piece of soul is in me from when Voldemort killed my parents and she started to see if she could purify it." Harry flexed his shoulders to loosen them again.
Yasha sat up and went over to Harry, he sat down and began massaging Harry's shoulders. "I guessed as much."
Harry sighed in relief as Yasha worked his shoulder muscles."You know Yasha if you ever decide to give up being the Heir, you could get work as a physical therapist."
"No thanks. I like my place in life. Being Father and Mother's right hand isn't so bad, I just have to figure out what needs the Heir's touch and what can be done right now or can wait until later. Now Council Sessions, I won't have full voting rights under after I finish schooling, However, I can sit in on them now, and give Mother, my own concerns and opinions and they are busy trying to get me to start courting a female..." Yasha replies
"Well there is that tengu girl that likes you." Harry jokes as he leans forward from Yasha's massage.
"Which I can safely attest that she is now engaged to someone else and not happy about it. But it will make their line stronger. I would want someone, who is my equal in intelligence, someone, who I can hold a conversation with, and not having to search for an exit." Yasha replies, "I wouldn't mind a human as a spouse."
Harry thinks "Well if she was older, i would mione would be great match for you."
Yasha shrugged before he stopped rubbing his brother's shoulders. "Who knows, I'm not that much older then you, dork."
"Thanks bro you always know how to undo my muscles even after Sara fun with me." Harry replies, "Well your older than her she's like twelve maybe thirteen."
"Father's older then mother and they make it work out..." Yasha replies, "And I'm fourteen."
"Well maybe this summer i can introduce you two huh?" He reaches for the fudge bar.
Yasha nods, before snatching a fudge bar himself. "I'm in for a long night."
"Why is that, bro? School is starting up again in a matter of days for you and i know you have all your work done shaming both me and Ron, I must add." He jokes.
"No, my first act as Heir is to hold a special Council Session with each of the Oldest members of the tribes, that will take over for their parents with me as Prime Ruler, someday." Yasha answers
"Oh wow thats gonna be rough since most of them don't really care for each other if i remember." Harry shudder from the memory.
"Which is why I will be there." Alison states from the doorway, and she was dressed differently then normal. She wore something akin to the slayers outfit but somehow more tough, she had a sword at her side, and stiletto blades in her hair, and Harry was sure, she had a few daggers hidden as well.
"Wow sis thats a new look for you are you Yasha's muscle now." Harry asked looking envious of them both and sad as well.
"I'm a Peacekeeper, and I am itching for a fight." Alison states, as her golden eyes glittered with mischief, "Let's go, Princeling." she turned and walked out of the room, with Yasha following.
"I wish i could help to." Harry mutters then flops onto his bed to rest up and get ready to head beck to Hogwarts.
Sesshomaru was walking down the hall, he sensed something was amiss and went to investigate. He came into Harry's room. He crossed the room, and sat on the bed. "Your mother is better at this parenting thing then I am...and I feel I have somehow neglected my duties as a father while, Maria is overtaxed with rearing you and siblings and I'm just a bystander."
Harry looks up at him. "No poppa, you've been a great parent, I just I guess I beginning to think i don't fit in any more." The young wizard looks at his bed with a sad look on his face.
Sesshomaru's eyes widen by a faction, and his panic flooded into his aura.
Maria looked up from her sewing, and sensed Sesshomaru's aura and put away her sewing and went to see what was causing Sesshomaru's panic. Maria rushes into Harry's room her heart pounding in fear.
"Lord of Fluffiness! You frighten me again like that I swear you will be sleeping outside for the rest of our days!" Maria snarled, before taking in Harry's expression.
Harry didn't look up to her, he just sat looking at his blanket near tears. "Maria, I don't know what to do, Harry is so depressed." He whispers to her.
Maria went over and sat down on Harry's other side. "How are you feeling?"
"I just don't know momma I'm confused about everything i thought i had i under control but i starting to feel like i just don't fit in anymore. "
"Don't fit in, I know how that feels." Maria replies "Nothing is ever in control for an eleven year old, my darling."
"But everyone else seem to know what they want and where they fit in i mean i alway thought I'll be there with Yasha as a guard or something but he has Ali for that and I'm not even a full demon to even be any help." He sniffles "I mean even Dudley is getting better and I'm just a target for everyone."
"Ali's not a guard." Maria laughed, "She's knows more about the inner circles of our society then Yasha does, she's acting as his ears and eyes."
"Who cares if you're not a full demon, it wasn't a full demon who destroyed Naraku, it was a your uncle InuYasha." Sesshomaru states, "And I will be the one to admit it, I was and still am proud of that."
"I know poppa but i just." Harry growls in anger "oh i dont know what i mean right now I'm just confused and scared and i just want it all to stop." His aura flares out and cracks his window.
"Express your emotions through words not your aura, because I am not going to be repairing windows." Maria states
Harry thats a deep breath "I'm sorry momma it just i don't know what to say or do and I'm scared by that and then theres what Kikyo said and ali and Yasha and i just feel useless like im in the way."
"You're not in the way, I didn't have to take you into my home, and raise you as my own. I did so, because I wanted too. Lily name me your godmother because she was a brilliant witch, she was always asking me questions until finally, I revealed that I was the Lady of the Demonic Empire." Maria replies, "I miss her everyday."
"Don't let your emotions consume you, express them, talk them out. Kikyo's role as a Priestess is to try and cure problems, talk to her. Or ask her bout her previous lives and learn from her mistakes." Sesshomaru replies
"Yes poppa, yes momma and I'm sorry about how i was acting it just frustrating knowing you want to do something but you cant.
"Yes, now take your bath and into bed." Maria replies, "Ron is already passed out."
"Yes momma "he gets up and hugs them both as he gets ready to shower and go to sleep.
The following morning, a note was left on Ron and Harry's doors, asking them stay silent while walking the bedroom corridor, as Yasha and Alison were sleeping.
They both quickly and quietly get dressed and head to the kitchen to get breakfast.
"Well Ron this is our last day of freedom before its back to school.
"And you two have not finished your assignments for winter break." Maria announced as she walked into the kitchen and all the staff went to their knees in respect.
"Yes, we have, momma."
"Yes. we have, Maria ma'am."
Maria's eyebrow rose as she gave a look that said that she didn't believe them.
Harry sweat drops and then grabs Ron's arm and head off to the library.
