So, many fics yet so little time. What am I talking about? I got loads of it HA!
I really didn't think that Harry would be so interested in his real parents; usually the adopted kid would get mad at the parents, right? I think?
WARNING: Hm…marriage talks between two males (Nothing wrong with it!)
Disclaimer: Do NOT own Inuyasha nor do I own Harry Potter!
Trees blew from the slight rush of the wind as Harry stood on a small hill looking around at the current surroundings that had captured his interest. If he ever thought the world of witches and wizards were a magical place, this world was certainly sitting next to it as a beautiful place. Butterflies flew in from all directions and some, landing on his shoulder and resting for a bit before flying off again.
Inuyasha, the young man who was also part demon, had been stretching out his arms and legs as well as cracking his neck from side to side. Looking at him now, Harry began to get curious thoughts as to why the man would go through all the trouble of bringing him there when he had such an unenthusiastic tone in his voice for every word.
"Is that you, young demon?" The sudden voice caught Inuyasha and Harry off guard. An old woman with an eye patch wearing a miko outfit began walking up to the two of them.
Harry looked to Inuyasha for guidance, wondering just who was the old lady. The said demon seemed to know her for he was smiling at her not like with his friends or teachers. Was she the one he kept referring to as lady Kaede? Would she be able to send him home?
The old lady stopped and took one look at Inuyasha and then at Harry. Her eyes widened and she rubbed them to get a better look at the young boy who had ventured back with Inuyasha.
"This can't be the young cub from way back then. I must say, you've grown quite a bit, haven't you?" Lady Kaede smiled pleasantly at Harry but gave Inuyasha a stern look.
"Now what granny; he's home for good, you should rest easy." Inuyasha replied and blinked a few times before receiving a powerful blow to the skull by the old woman's hand.
"At such crucial times, you bring him back when his fathers told me not to let him come back home until it was safe!" Lady Kaede scolded Inuyasha and looked back at Harry with concern.
"Wait! It wasn't his fault, I wanted to come. Sorry." Harry had no idea why he was apologizing but if it would calm the old lady down, he was hoping it would work.
But that aside, why had he gotten so defensive about seeing Inuyasha get hurt? Or the fact that the young demon was getting scolded for something he didn't decide? If there was a connection, Harry was hoping on finding it.
"You probably have many questions to ask. Inuyasha, straighten up and show your mate where my house is! Go!" Inuyasha scowled at the old woman but did as he was told and pushed Harry in the direction of a small but plentiful village.
Lady Kaede looked up at the sky and slanted her eyes. A dark day was brewing quicker then before and she knew that if the young half demon was to survive in this ill world, she would have to perform a certain ritual that consisted of having the demon's parents close by.
As lady Kaede entered the small home, she was surprised to see that the young half demon, Harry had been sitting quietly whereas Inuyasha was scouting out all of her food and was robbing her blind of her nutritional goods. Perhaps the boy would be a good influence on Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, you are familiar with the current situation, are you not?" The said man's ears twitched at the word 'situation' and he instantly snapped into a serious mode.
"Yeah…that war with the Tora demons. What about it?" Harry could tell that the old woman was obviously hoping that Inuyasha knew a bit more than that and waited patiently for her to tell the story.
"Rumor has it that your father, is asking for help from Sesshomaru." Inuyasha looked shocked to hear this.
"My father is? Are the Tora demons really that powerful?" The old woman lowered her head sadly and closed her eyes.
"So it may seem. At this very moment, a war is stirring somewhere close by and it seems that soon enough, no where in this world will be safe from the hands of those demons. And now…young Kana-Hoshi is now amidst in this madness." As much as Harry was confused, Inuyasha did not seem quite puzzled at the name, 'Kana-Hoshi'. Who was this person?
Lady Kaede let out a sigh after an awkward silence and began the long story.
"Twenty years ago, Inuyasha's father was settling a dispute among the Tora demons and the Shishi demons. It looked to be peaceful after some time and Naraku, who was of the Shishi demon tribe, took an interest in one of the demons from the Tora demon tribe. But Bankotsu was not born a demon or as a half demon. So he found the courage to use Koga, a demon of the wolf tribe, as a source for power so that his son or daughter would be at least strong in some way, shape or form. But he was purely human and acquired the capability to feel compassion for humans and demons alike. And that was how Kana-Hoshi was born.
You see, young Inuyasha, the boy who sits across from you right now, his true name is Kana-Hoshi. He is from three tribes, but…that is where the war all took place. The Tora demons looked down on Bankotsu for having sought out the power of a wolf demon and wished to see Bankotsu dead. They did not approve of accepting help from anyone much less other demons. They attacked the village that Kana-Hoshi had been born in and devoured any humans who got in their way."
The old woman took a breather to see if either of them was following her. She had both of their complete attention. She continued.
"As a result, the demons of the Shishi tribe heard of their own kind being in danger and rushed to help, but the Tora demons had much more power then the Shishi tribe were led to believe and so, Bankotsu took Naraku and his young infant, Kana-Hoshi, to your father's lands, Inuyasha. There, Bankotsu and your father were able to come to terms with each other and fought along side each other along with the wolf demons, against the Tora tribe. But even with your father's strength, they did not appear to be equally matched against the Tora demons.
Kikyo, my elder sister, was chosen as the care taker for Kana-Hoshi and was told to send the baby away from this world altogether. Naraku was devastated having to give his child away to people he didn't know but Kikyo reassured both of them that the child would be safe.
I am not sure who told you, Inuyasha, but why they told you to get Kana-Hoshi back is something I want you to answer for me."
Harry felt lost in his own past. Was this Koga demon just a tool for his father then? He looked over at Inuyasha to see if he was just as lost as he was but Inuyasha did not look confused nor did he look like he was interested but something in the man's eyes told Harry that he was planning something.
"So my old man knew his father, huh? Guess that means you're a liger demon if you come from both the tribes. And another thing, granny, you're really bad for telling old tales, grandma. You forget that it was my mother who set me up with Kana-Hoshi? I already knew that was his name since the day we met at my mother's." Harry could see the young demon was pouting.
"Don't be wise with me, Inuyasha. I remember that part quite well. But you must know, Inuyasha that it was my sister who gave her life to protect that child whom you travel with now." Inuyasha instantly piped down and allowed the old lady to speak again.
"Kana-Hoshi, you will stay with me here in the village while Inuyasha goes to fetch for Naraku and Bankotsu. They must be terribly worried by now. I'm sure they've sensed your presence." Harry complied with this and there was a terrible atmosphere in the room.
"So you're telling me to leave my mate here in the hands of an old woman? Are you out of your mind? Kana-Hoshi's coming with me!" Inuyasha stood up abruptly and began pulling Harry's arm ferociously, pulling him out the door.
Lady Kaede heaved a sigh of relief and began making a cup of tea for herself. She knew what the young boy wanted and had been wondering about since his arrival but she had made an oath with Kana-Hoshi's father and mother stating she would do everything she could to protect him from harm. Kaede knew that the boy wanted to go back home and what better way to stop a question then by getting rid of the questioning person? She made up a lie in knowing full well that Inuyasha would surely cave in. All so that Harry would not ask about getting out of an arranged marriage.
'Good luck, Inuyasha.' The old woman took a sip of her tea and smiled at the very thought of Inuyasha's patience.
A/N: Wow! So Bankotsu knew Inuyasha's father! Just so you guys know, in case you don't know, Tora means tiger in Japanese and Shishi means lion. I know what you must think, 'poor Koga! Being a tool?' NO, WRONG! Koga is more than just a tool and it will all be explained in the next chapter! So unless you want more I suggest you review!
