The Japanese Baku: A mythological creature that feeds off of nightmares.


"Please...Haruhi...stop..." Harry whispered, his and her clothes stained from his blood. Haruhi's fangs had punctured his skin so deep, any movement she made caused him excruciating pain. She devoured every drop of his shimmering red blood that got close to her mouth.

Sudenly, he stopped shaking, his hand falling from her back and to the floor. His eyes were blank, his blood still dripping from the open wound. Haruhi froze, her eyes at Harry.

"No...no I killed...I killed him..." she whimpered, tears falling from her eyes. She held his hand and closed eyes ".. I killed him..."

Her sobs echoed though the dark room, which was starting to disintegrate into pitch black, along with Harry. She was the only one left, sand blowing from her fingers. A chilling feeling went through her spine, she could almost feel the goosebumps forming. She could see a full moon, and feel her bones beginning to shift. Her entire body was struck with pain, her hands forming into claws. She let out what she thought was a shriek, but sounded more like the howl of a wolf. She now found herself in the middle of the dark forest.

Every time she stepped forward with a paw, she saw another flash of Harry dying in her arms. She saw a couple walking together, hand in hand. She howled for help. They turned towards her, the man yelled and threw a stick at Haruhi, stabbing her in the neck. She let out another howl of pain, now infuriated. The woman ran behind a tree, shrieking.

She jumped the man, and clamped her mouth shut around his neck, ripping off his skin and spitting it at the nearest bush. She climbed off of him, panting angrily. All she wanted to do was to watch him suffer. The woman peeked from behind the tree, screaming and running to the man's side.

"No! He's dead! Why did this have to happen? You monster!" She sobbed. "You killed him!"

Haruhi froze. Her vision was distorted. "You monster! You killed him!" replayed in her head.

You killed him! You monster!

I couldn't have...I'm not a monster..

He's dead!

No...Stop! I...I couldn't...

He was trying to protect the world from monsters like you! MURDERER!

"NO!" Haruhi screamed at the top of her lungs, waking up from her nightmare. "I'M NOT!"

Her door slid open, Ranka ran at her and hugged her "Haruhi! What's wrong?"

"I didn't mean to.." she whimpered "He.. he threw the stick at me.. I just.. I just got so angry… and.. and Harry! Otou-san, I killed him too! I couldn't even help it.." she said through sobs.

"It's allright, Everybody's okay. Nobody's dead Haruhi it was just a bad dream." Ranka said assuringly and kissed her head "Just stay home today okay? You don't look so good after your…trip."

"Otou-san.."

"It's okay, Haruhi. All of us get scared when we find out the truth. Take it easy okay? I have to go to work soon." He said. He kissed her cheek and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Unless you want me to stay at home with you."

Haruhi didn't even refuse. She had enough sense to know that she couldn't go to school, she was a complete wreck now.

"You don't.. you don't have to stay…"

"Alright. I'll call Tadashi to stay with you."

"Otou-san.. no!"

"Not this time, Haruhi. He's the only one available now, even if he is irresponsible with school."

"That's.. that's not why.."

"Fine. I'll call Hisoka. It's about time you met him, anyway."

"I'm 15.. I should be able to stay home alone. I don't even know the dude."

"Hisoka it is then."


Harry tapped his pencil on the desk nervously. The clock was moving way too slow. His eyebrow twitched as he the minute hand didn't move after he had counted 60 seconds. He started to whisper spells under his breath, attempting to do magic without his wand. He spotted a kite on a bench from outside through the window and decided to give it a shot.

"Wingadium Leviosa." he muttered, his lips barely moving. The kite fidgeted a little, then was still. He rolled his eyes then stared at the clock once more, twitching as only 50 seconds had passed.

Finnally, after ten minutes of utter torture, the bell rang, releasing the students home or to after school activities. Harry sighed a shoved all the papers on his desk into his bag, and then raced towards the door.


"More tea?" Haruhi asked, holding the pot out to Hisoka. He nodded and gave his cup to her, and she poured some more tea in.

"It's good." He said simply, after taking a sip. Haruhi nodded. " Ranka-papa told me that you weren't feeling well... do you feel better now?"

"I was feeling fine in the first place, but thanks anyway." she said. "I appreciate you coming over, though."

"Oh.. ok. So how's school?" He asked, trying to make more conversation.

"Oh, apart from wanting to rip out everyone's throats? School's fine."

"We all go through the same thing. Well.. not all of us. Some of us are different, but you know what I mean."

Haruhi sighed, "Yeah. Yeah, I guess I do. I'm just waiting for the time where I wake up in a frantic mess.."

"Hah. Life's like that. Not really much we can do except face it, or kill ourselves." He said, taking another sip of our tea. Haruhi raised an eyebrow at him. "But.. but don't kill yourself!" He said.

"Have.. have you ever tried to… you know?"

"Let's not talk about that now." He said. "Everybody has their rough days. When all of this just gets overwhelming, and they just.. Yeah, let's not talk about that."

"Oh.. ok." Haruhi looked at the clock. "School should be out by now." She said. "Hey.. Onii-san?"

"Hmm?"

"What.. what are you? If you don't my my asking."

"Oh, me? I'm i'm sort of.. I'm a.. I'm.. I'm a Baku."

"A… a Baku."

"Yeah."

"So that's why Otou-san called you over here." A corner of Haruhi's mouth rose up into a smile. "He thought that you would be able to… So Baku's have a humanoid form too?"

"No..just me. It's the only upside to being in this family."


Harry opened the door to his apartment slowly. Hedwig was fast asleep in her cage, a letter still in her mouth. The address on the back was written in green ink, and the front of the envelope was signed RUBEUS HAGRID. Harry tore open the letter, startling Hedwig.

Harry,

Don't start screaming and jumping up with joy yet, because you're gonna get the bad news sooner or later. The good news, Dumbledore knows the Weasley twins are there and he wants you lot to go to Hogwarts sometime next week because you have to study at least a bit for your end-of-the-year exams.

The bad news, there's been talk around here that your being followed. Not Death Eaters or Ministry officials, but Dumbledore reckons their not to be messed with. You're in a foreign country, an unknown land. Bet it's probably to do with that new beauty you've got. Are you some kind of magnet for trouble?

Take care (and don't do something stupid!),

Hagrid

Harry set the letter down on the table slowly. He widened his eyes. Haruhi.. is.. Gryffindor's descendant?


Could you tell that this was mainly a filler? XD
