Lady Kaiki: Gracias!

Review, please.

Love, Keta

Chapter 13: Even Though We Part…

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart

I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask,

I want to exorcise the demons from your past,

I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

(Undisclosed Desires by Muse)

Voldemort's POV

Harriel's great big green eyes glow brightly as he clings to me. "I don't want to go back."

"But you need to go back to school. Then you can see your friends and make Dumbledore's life miserable for me."

"Well when you put it like that," he murmurs. "I'll go, but I'll still miss you."

"I know, Harriel. Now don't be so put out."

"What will you do to cheer me up?"

"There's a whole cheesecake in the fridge."

"Cheesecake!"

I roll my eyes. "You're so strange."

Harriel's POV

I wave goodbye to my family and stalk up to the castle. Fawkes clangs against my side, comforting to me once again. He whispers words of encouragement up until I open the doors to the loud clamor that rivals the sound during a baseball game in Hueco Mundo. "Umm… hello everyone," I say in an attempt to break the tense silence.

"Harry!" Hermione shrieks, jumping up to run over and hug me.

She stops at my held up hand and I pull Fawkes, sheath and all away from his bonds and set him on the floor. "Now you can hug me. I just want to make sure you don't accidently hurt yourself on my zanpactou." She looks confused but hugs me anyhow. "Anyone else want a hug?"

'I think you should snuff out the candles to freak everyone out.'

"That would be stupid," I growl in Japanese at my sword. "It would be much better to make their flames bigger. Like this." I smile darkly and flick my hand, delighting in the warmth that radiates from that. "And that my dear friend is how you make fire better. You know I don't know why you refuse to be free moving right now. You are as bad as Rosiel and Muramasa." He trills out a chuckle, making me scowl. "Fawkes, get your ass out here now!"

My sclera turn black as I summon him to me, and he appears. I take up my female friend's arm, noticing that she's tense and it sort of makes me feel happy inside for my inner hollow rejoices in the pain and fear of others.

"Harry, my boy," Dumbledore calls out as he stands, "where did you go?!"

My reiatsu unconsciously lashes out and my nails become talons. "Do not call me that!" I shriek and the glassware in the hall shatters. Hermione falls down beside me, mouth open and eyes unseeing but my inner hollow doesn't care. "My name is Harriel, Harriel Murcielago! You all turned your backs on me and left me to die! I'm an arrancar now! Not your stupid pet. Now let me be!" My reiatsu lowers and I drop down to help my female friend. "I'm very sorry, Mione. My hollow half just overpowers the shinigami in me sometimes."

"It's okay…" she whispers after catching her breath.

"Can you stand?"

"I don't know."

"I'll take you then." I glance behind me at Fawkes' sword form on the ground. "As awkward as it sounds, can you grab yourself for me, Fawkes?" He trills a yes. "Thank you. Now let's get you set down, Mione."

I take her over to the Gryffindor table and set her down next to Ron before turning to walk back out. "Aren't you going to eat?" Neville asks.

"Nah. I ate a whole cheesecake before I came here. And it was good~! Oh, god damn it! I'm turning into my siblings! All Father save me!"

"All Father?" Ron inquires.

"God. My siblings, Ulquiorra, Ketakoshka, Muramasa and Violetta's grandfather. I'm from a family of angels now. Well, Angels and Demons if you count our cousin Sebastian and Aunt Martina who fell in love with Sebby's father. Oh, well. I'm going to go. Bye, bye!"
