Chapter 12
The Heart Remberes what the Mind can not
Draco awakened in the Hospital wing of Hogwarts. "Good your awake." professor Mcgonigal stated worriedly. "What happened?" Draco moaned painfuly. "i don't know but you where quite beaten up." Madam pumfry camy bustling in with many bottles of potion and bandages. "NO!" Kagome ran in the room hiting the bandages potions rught out of madam pumfry's grasp, the content of the bottles spiled and made a combinded puttle of potion that bagan to bubble. "What are you doing her mrs, higurashi?" Madam pumfry scolded as she clened up the mess. "he can't be treated with that!" Kagome ran to draco's side and began bandageing him with the madicinal herbes Kaede gave to her the day before. "what are you doing?" Madam pumfry scolded. "I'm helping him. the person who attacked him was a demon an and he was angry at draco and he nearly killed him. medicinal herbes are the only thing that can help." Kagome stated as she bandaged Draco.
'You have much explaining to do." McGonigal stated. "i know." Kagome whispered. "I..I killed her...I killed her." Draco wrasped, his voice chracking and broken. "You didn't harm anyone." Madam pumfry stated as though he where over reacting. "It'll be ok." Kagome comforted. she put her hand on his head, the Shikon-No-Tama clutched in her other hand. It's for the best, Draco. Kagome thought sadly, a tear streeming down her cheek. Draco fell back on the pillow. he was asleep. "My baby!" a woman with long blond hair came running tward Draco's bed. "It's ok he's just fainted." McGonigal stated, she put a hand on the woman's shoulder. "excuse me? but do you know a Nanako Higurashi?" the woman asked. "Yes she's my sister." Kagome replied. "Draco has been mentioning her a lot latly. he mentioned that she used the Name Tikara but still, i think she was his firs love. it's so sweet." Mrs. Malfoay wispered quietly to kagome in an atempt not wake Draco. "can you introduce me to her?" Mrs. Malfoay asked kindly. Kagome then hesitated. "um i uh don't think...she isn't able to, she...she is out of town." Kagome made an excuse. "oh i see." Mrs. Malfoay whispered disapointedly.
Now all there's only harry and the rest of the school to erase, i'm just going to be the new girl, Sango higrashi. kagome thought calmly. Kagome came upon a worried and distressed harry. "Is everything okay?" Harry askd worriedly. Kagome sighed "yes...um harry..." Kagome got closer to harry and huged him, knowing it was the last time she would ever huged him like this. "what is it kagome?" Harry pulled away and then looked at her worriedly, his hands still on kagome's shoulders. Kagome kissed him, tears in her eyes. "now i know somethings wrong." harry stated as he gave kagome a gentle smile. "pleas forgive me." Kagome whispered. "What?" Harry asked puzzled. Kagome then put her hand on his head and erased his memmory, harry keeled over into kagome's arms. she put him in a big arm chair. "I'm sorry harry." Kagome whispered as she whiped vigerously at her tears that would't stop pouring from her eyes..
it was the end of the winter brake, kagome had erased all memmery of anything having to do with Nanako or the feudal era, and even the fact that her name was kagome, everyone only knew her as Sango Higurashi. She saw the normal life of Harry, Ron and even Harmione. Harmione was truly a kind and spart girl, not the jelous person she had first thought to be.she always acted odd around her and harry but he dindn't rember anything nore than anyone else. it hurt, her sister was now dead she missed harry and his company, she couldn't even stand the jolt she felt when he looked at her or when they crossed paths. Things in general where hard for kagome and it seemed like her nomal life, with the exception of magic and the use of wants.
I've noticed that Draco was mean and crule before he met Nanako and i, but then I did catch a glips of his old self at the train station on the first day we came her, but he changed after Nanako apalogized and now that she's dead, it seems he's averted back to that cold hearted person. i guess that Nanako changed him, just as she changed Sesshomaru's cold unloving heart to the man he is. Kagome thought to herself as she looked at Harry and the others she sat alon and quiet, studied in the library and trying to stop the pain from stabing her and practly killing her, she wondered why harry wasn't as happy as she had seen him when he was with her. Did he miss her at all? No it couldn't be possible, after all she did erase his memmory, but then, the heart remembers what the mind can not, you cant fool your heart. Did she do Harry wrong by making him forget about her? Kgome contipated this, as she chew on the tip of her quill. He'll eventualy get over it...but do i want him to forget me? kagome felt the pain return. No, she didn't want him to forget about her, if she wanted him to get over her, he wanted him to do it of him own acord, she made him forget and that meant that he never, in his mind at least, that their relationship never existed and so he didn't realy know her and couldn't judg if he'de want to leav her or not. It truly did hurt.
It was double potions the next day and it was as bad as it could be, snape seemed to have extrem pleasre in tormenting Harry, he tried but found he couln't bring kagome to the point of exasperation, sh gave him bottle after bottle of complicated potins that he had asighned to her, he tried to find an excuse for taking points from the girl but found non, she was doing everything right, and these where potions that where even complicated fr an auror but to kagome they where like making chocolate milk. even though kagome was depresed as is, snape didn't manage to make her sad expretion into an expretion of compleat misery, her features didn't waver. he gave her asignment after asignment and all she did was nod and do what she was asked to do. It looked that the only one that was getting exasperated was Snape, the grifindoores where having great pleasure out of seeing Snape yelling at kagome, but she just blinked as though he didn't exiset.
Why do i feel somethings missing? Harry questioned himself as he saw kagome stiring the potion in th seat that she was ocuping in front of him. Kagome was dong rather well in this particular potion Stape asighned the entire class, well at least beter than harry or Ron, harmione was atempting to help them but they didn't understnad a word she was saying, she used too many japanese words that refered to ingreedianc, Harry and Ron couldn't even tell the diference form a kikiyo flower from a myosei plant. "The flower is the kikiyo and the other is the myosei." Kagome pointed to each plant that lay before Harry and Ron, being as she was done with her poton and had already bottled it and given it to snape, who was equaly serprised to find someone other than Harmione could get such a complecated potion, there where other ingrediance such as vampire fang inu-youkai blood and the silver hair of a youkai-okami. (wolf demon) "how would you know? and who asked you?" harmione snarled. "I know because i've made this before and i live in japan, and i'm japanese." kagome told Harmione over a loud whisper. "Harmione it works." Ron stated as harry apllied Kagome's instructions to his and ron's concoction.
"Myabe so but you two could have gotten in big trouble." harmione pointed out. "Stop worrying." Ron waved her worry off after thier potions lesson, kagome had already tacken off and harry couldn't help but look for her. "You trying to break your neck potter? it woud be a good inprove ment" Draco came up sneering, his cold gray eyes looking over the golden trio. "Get lost Draco!" Harmione ordered. "Fat chance Granger." Draco commented coldy as he pased between Harry and Ron, bumping Harry as he came out from Snapes classroom. why do i feel like draco was...actualy nice to me? Nice? come on harry don't be stuped. harry scolding himself for ever thinking Draco was nice to harry or anyone else for that matter, but he had a strange feeling that draco was nice...once upon a time.
For some reson, Harry had a strange longing and eurge to protect, hold, and even kiss kagome, but he didn't understand why, he didn't even realy know the girl, or did he? she always did look at him strangly, like she knew something he didn't. He couldn't read into evryone's feelings by looking into their eyes like he did kagome, he could even tell her fack smile from her real smile and either one was rare enough to see, he felt the effect when she gave someone or even him her false smile, he didn't feel the warm and fuzzy feeling that felt so familer when he pictured the true smile that kagome would give when she was happy, now though she gave him and only him apologetic smiles and sad smiles, like she lost someting. was what he remembered or though of a memmory?
"Sango!" Harry ran to kagome who was waling back from Care of Magical creatures, her fac was sad and painful. "yes?" Kgome turned and gave him her most convincing fack smile. "is everything ok?" Harry put his hand on kagome's shoudner, she pulled out of his reach, acting as though she had just been burned by his touch. "I...Im fine harry, thank you for asking." Kagome's cracing voice came to harry as a lie, she gave him her most convincing smile, she wasn't ok she was hurting inside, just as she had been ever sense that day her sister was killed. Harry sow through her phony smile. "Don't do that to me." harry stated warningly, giveing her a stern face. "W...what?" The corner of kagome's mouth was twitching vigerously. he doesn't see though me does he. i know i'm not fine, fine but..." Kagome tought to herself as her mind rased to make an answer to Harry's statement.
"I mean you don't have to give me a phony smile. it doesn't work on me. i don't know why but i think there is something wrong, you don't have to tell me, but i'd like to help if i can." Harry put both hands on kagome's shoulders. Kagome began to cry. she looked at her feet, trying to avoid his gaze and keep him from seing her cry but her soft sobs gave away her secrit, harry took kagome's chin in his warm hand and made her look at him, he whiped away a tear with his thumb, she looked into his emerald green eyes, and she felt him search her eyes for the cause of her pain, the pain that he ditected. You don't know how much you culd help if you remembered everything. IM SORRY HARRY BUT I CAN'T kagome began sobbing hearder, and thrust herself into Harry's arms. he huged her tight, easing the craving to do just what he was doing.
"are you sure your okay?" harry asked comfortingly, he refused to let her go until she was okay. a cold breez blew Kagome's raven hair into her face, he held her tighter, enjoying the warmth of her body, and not wantng to ever let go. "No." Kagome's muffled voice could be heard as a whisper. "can you tell me what's the mater?" Harry asked tenderly as he looked down at Kagome's snow covored hair. "Can we just go inside...i'll tell you when we get to the comon room." Kagome shvered at the cold breez that was blowing her hair into her eyes. harry tried to brush the wild strands of hair away from her pale face. Kagome had gotten up late, she had forgotten to gather up her warm robes, hat gloves, and a scarfe. "Sure, we can head inside, here." Harry took off his witer robes and threw them over kagome's cold body. "It may not be much but it's bettter that what you have." harry laughed as he led kagome back to the castle, he hadn't yet let go of kagome, he still had an arm over her shoulders, even though it was cold, he didn't feel it and he kept his arm around her till the had gon through the portrate hol and Kagome had returned his wam cloths.
"Thank you harry." Kagome whispered as she tried to warm herself compleatly, sitting before the fier. "it's hard to explane and i guess i should just say that i know you more than you think i do, i know how it is to...to be asked for more than you can give, i kow that we can beat Voldy face." Kagome laoughed a little, at the comment she had called the dark Lord. "Nice one. but why arn't you affrade of him?" harry alked colmly. "i don't fear him because...theres worse things that i could or should be affrade of, i have an enimy too. and because his attack my sisters dead, i don't fear this enimy, but he is a danger to be recognized. "And you can't say his name?" Harry wondored, she had the ordasity to make fun of the dark lord's name, but she couldn't say the name of her enimy. "no i can't and it's not because im affrade of him, It's because now isn't the time to tell you of everything that that devilish demon has done." kagome dug her nales int the rug that rested beneith her.
"what can you tell me?" Harry sat beside Kagome and put his arm around her comfortingly, kagome rested against his chest. "if i tell you...then you will be put in danger. i know you are a horible oclumez and so until we find a way to make you stronger i can't tell you." kagome laughed at the puzzled look on Harry's face. "how'de you know i was practicing ocluminzy?" harry didn't take his arm off kagome but looked quriously at her. "i've known sense the begining of the year...you told me, and you don't practice you just go to the lesson...the reason why you can't remember the reson for your doing thies things is because of me." Kagome no looked intenly into the fire, avoiding harry's intence gaze. "what do you mean? Doing what things?" harry's looke was pricless, the puzzled expretiong getting more intense and now he looked like inyasha atemping to figure out how to ride a bysicle.
"the reson for you constanly having your arm around me...and well i think you get it...i shouldn't have erased your memmory, but if i didn't...than The Dark Bastard would have had the advantage, and because Nanako's dead...we don't have the advantage we did before." Kagome looked at harry, hoping he woudn't think her crazy. "I see...was Dreco...ever...nice?" harry looked at kagome who smiled slightly. "yes. but now i see what he was like before now." Kgome gigled at what Nanako would do if she saw draco now.
"well that answred that." harry muttered. "I suppose it does." Kagome agreed. "what advantage did we have...you know, before your sister was killed?" harry loooked seriously at kagome. "well...she had this sward that could revive the dead and kill the living dead...so we thought sense voldy wart's curse reflected back to him when he tried to kill you, and he was revived only by using earth, blood and his roaming soule, give or tack a few ingrediance. there's not much difference from how kikyo was revived, using gravyard soul from kikyo's grave, and reserecting her by riping my sould apart. he is just part of the living dead." Kagome explained. "how could this kikiyo be revived, using your soul?" harry looked at kagome with a hint of cautiousness on his face. "i'm kikiyo's reincarnation." Kagome stated bitterly. That's all i can tell you...ok harry?" Kgome looked sadly at harry, pleading and hoping he would understand. "it's ok." Harry smiled and huged kagome to insure her that he didn't have any intention in leaving her side.
"Sango!" Harry yelled up the steps to kagome who was going to bed. "yes?" kagome looked down lovingly at harry. "i love you." his face was serious, he ment what he said and what kagome know was true. you can erase the memory of the mind but you can not erase the love a heart feels, and harry's love was as true and pure as inuyasha's. kagome smiled and jumped into harry's arms. "just know harry that...i love you too. and don't you ever forget that...i promis that what ever happenes i will alwys love you." Kagome looked deep into harry's eyes to make sure he knew the trouth. Harry's eyes widened in realization.
She realy does mean what she's saying!" Harry smiled and huged kagome tighter. "I know i could tell you that a million times and still it wouldn't be enough but...i love you so much. Don't worry and don't think your going to fight the dark marshmellow alone okay?" kagome smiled, as harry laughed at the dark evil marshmellow comment. "i know...and thank you for staying by me, i noticed you've been near me with out me realy noticing, each time i was hurt or depresed or...somthing, you where always close the person i love is you and somehow i know that i've loved you before now." Harry kissed kagome goodnight and went on reading the book that might help him in is battle against the dark arts, he had a new hope, he wasn't alone in his battle and he knew that no matter what was throne at her, kagome would always find a way to stand by his side. "Dark marshmellow. Dark marsmellow of fluffyness." harry laughed to himself, kagome felt no fear, accept for the ones she loved, and if she didn't fear death, then why should he, if they died together, than he would be happy solong as he died with kagome.
part 2
Draco walked down to the Slytherin dormitories, he had a strange feeling that he'de find something there, he didn't know why but he felt something was missing in his life, like he wanted more than anything but to be with someone, but who? and why did he have dreams of him being with a girl he couldn't even see her face clearly, but he knew he had strong feelings for her, he aslo remembered a little boy, a cut boy, his name was Ichiro...or something like that. there also was an older boy, or was he a man by the name of Kikiyokutsu, who was kikiyokutsu? and who was ichiro? they don't exist. I was never...in love, was i?" Draco asked himself thinking over his dream. once draco entered the Slytherin comon room he sat in one of the dark green leather chairs and looked intently into the fire demanding it of answeres.
He was shaken out of his thoughts by Pansy Parkinson, she as slinking her arms oround his neck, Draco had the eurge to yell at her, he did so but he didn't know why, he had always just wanted atention but now he wanted only to be alone. "Leav me alone you prat!" Draco bellowed. "but Dracypoo." Pansy whined. "Leave me alone!" Draco pushed Pansy away from him, draco felt torn for some reason he wanted to see the girl, and at the same time he didn't, he was the one...who killed her. Why would he kill someone he loved he remembered seeing a face that came at hem and then her eyes widen as blood spattered over his robes and her pale face. who ever she was, he wanted to see her, but felt fear, that if he did see her, he would feel eternal grief pain and guilt. But why? did he do something wrong?
Draco ran to his room, but he looked around, it wasn't his room, For one reason it had a japanese style sliding door and a futon on the wooden floor, he remembered something. He remembered something he said when he first awoke in the hospital wing. I killed her...i killed Nanako! Draco thught back He didn't understand...the girl in his dreams was that her name? did she realy exist? yes she did. Draco saw a small outfit, it looked familer, it belonged to Ichiro, the outfit was a paire of pagames that he remembered seing ichiro wearing one night, he remembered that ichiro cam into his room becaus he had a nightmare. "I killed Nanako." Draco whispered in realization. There was nothing he could do, she was gone, he dind't know why she died all he knew was that he was the one that killed her. but how did he kill her? he didn't want to remember, he couldn't remember even if he tried. he knew he remembered he loved her, and cared for ichiro, her son. but if he loved her than what reason did he have to for killing her, and takiing away ichiro's mother.
Draco held the small pagamas to his chest. He felt somthing rub his leg, draco looked down to see..."Niruki!" Draco exclamed happly, he grabed the demon cat and huged her...so she was real...and alive everything was real...even the fact that Nanako was dead...she had died at his hand, and that was why sesshomaru nearly killed him. He wanted deaspretly to know the trouth but then would the trouth kill him?
though the time he spent with Nanako and Ichiro was shortlived, he knew there was nothing left for him, he didn't know where ichiro was and therefour asumed him dead as well, he would do what his father wished him to do no questions asked, It still hurt to know he killed a person and whats more to know he murdered a person he loved. Love? how could he steep so low as to shame his family neme? he no loner cared, he no longer cared what happened to him, what punishment he recieved, he no longer feared death.
The moon was full and shown bright in the dark midnight blue sky, it was in some ways calming to Draco, winter's breath blew draco's shoulder length hear wildly into his eyes, he tried despreatly to keep it back, he didn't unerstand why his sarouning's calmed him so. he tied up his hair and put on the maske he wore as the Black Knight, the hero of night was no longer good but tanted into darness. He had changed gratly in the past year, but now his perpous for living, gone, draco averted back to his old self, the self he tried to hide from nanako, the person that he no longer wanted to be.
"Draco." a man in a balck cloak came closer, his thin skelitinal hand imerged from the sleve and grabed draco's arm. "Yes my lord?" Draco replied calmly, ready for the pain, and punishment. "you where tricked by a priestass and so i shall not kill you but i will insure that when i re-establish your mark, that it is long and painful, it is to warn you from falling into a trap like that again and to insure that something like this does not happen again." the dark lord's hand grasped Draco's arm tightly in his long bony fingers, he put the tip of his want to Draco's arm and forced energy to go through it. Draco shriked in pain, a satisifying scream to all the other Death Daters that served under The Dark Lord. Niruki wasn't too far from the sceen, Nanako had wanted her to keep an eye on the chidren as well as draco, she would insure, even if Nanako was against it, that draco got all his memmory back, it was best for him to know the trouth. Kagome didn't want him to end up being miserable for the rest of his life like Kohaku did.
"What's happening? where am i? Nanko looked around her she was in a dark place, she saw Draco. "Draco!" Nanako ran to him in concern, he was hunched over on the ground. "I killed her...i killed her." Draco chaned miserably, his voice cracking and tears fell down his silver eyes. "Draco look in front of you!" Nanako camanded standing before him, he didn't look up, he just continued chanting. Didn't kagome erase his memmory? Nanako asked herself she was about to touch Draco's shoulder when buth of them where thrust into different saroundings, the dark mass of space that they where in changed and Draco and herself where now in a room that seemed to be a study that belonged to a big house, draco seemed to be fritened of the place, like it was somwhere he didn't want to be.Nanako didn't know why Draco would fear such a place.
Understandibly it had a few things that could be frightning to a child, such as the goblin heads on shelves and the books that had skulls ingraved in the bindings, but he was part of the magical sysioty, he knew there was nothing to fear, or at least in a place like this, it was like a haunted house, nothing to realy be affrade of, Nanako looked at Draco, he was staired intently at a his younger self, Draco had looked around five years old now. the boy was busying himself, writing the alphebet, the room he was in seemed to be an old lobrery that would be found in the midevil ages. "draco honny! it's time to go see your father!" a woman with pale blond haire came into the room. "I don't want to see daddy!" the little draco pouted. "oh sweetheart what's the matter?" Mrs. malfoay came to her son calmingly.
"mommy why can't i play with toys?" the boy whined, Nanako now understood, Draco had been deprived of his child hood, she was in a memmory, but that still did't explan why draco in his present age was here, or why she was here for that matter. "He want's you to be a strong wizard Draco i'm sorry dear but that's how the family line is." Mrs Malfoay combed the little boy's hair and dresed him in navy blue robes. "come dear." the woman then took Draco's hand, and instructed him to grab a handful of flew powder, he did what he was told. "Now dear say Ministry of Magic very clearly and i'll fallow in a few seconds." after draco disapeared into the emerald green flames Draco's mother grabed a handfull of Flewpowder, and threw it into the fire, and in a few seconds disapeared as well
There saroundings blured and now she was in the ministry of magic, standing beside Draco who was reliving his life, he watched with a sad exprestion. "draco." Nanako put her hand on his arm, even though he didn't feel her, she heard a sharp intake of breath when her fingers tightened on his arm comfortingly. she had seen Lucus come out of a dark and dingy office, saw his mother leave for shopping and left her son with his father. "what do you do here daddy?" the young Draco asked. "It is secret." Lucous stated coldy. the little boy looked at his feet, he only looked up again when he heard his father speaking. "Weasly. Bring your son today too?" Lucous' vice was bitter and cold. "I dont' think young draco would do well being rased by a man who gives his son to the servents of He Who Must Not Be Named." Mr. weasly stated cold, scairing the little ron that was cowering behind his father. the young Draco tried to comfort Ron with a little smile but was pushed down by his father. "come Ronald, i don't want you to see this." Mr. weasly led his son to his office and closed the dorr berhind him.
"Don't ever engage in conversation or anything at all with that weasly child, he is not like us!" Lucous smacked his son several times befor the young Draco was able to get up again, he rubbed his swar cheeks and tried to keep his sobs quiet if he could help it, this was the reason for Draco not or never making contact with his father again. "just like when i was little." Nanako whispered as she held Draco's arm tighter, another sharp intake of breath came from draco, he put his hand where Nanako's rested comfortingly on his arm. she saw that his hand went through her's but she was still able to comfort him. I'm reliving my life again, but this time i don't feel alone. what is ths wamth i feel beside me, it's like she's standing right next to me, comforting me. Draco thought to himself as he held his hand on his onther arm where Nanako held tighter to his arm to let him know he wasn't alone this time.
The saroundings of the two bistandards changed again, and it seemed that Draco, in this memmory was a little bit older, about eight and atemting to get his mother's atention, but she continued to bustle around the big house as if Draco didn't exist. out of lonlyness and anger, he kicked one of the tables that had several orniments resting on top of it, the table topled over, and everything shattered, Draco's mother turned. "WHY WON'T YOU PAY ATENTION TO ME?' The little boy took off, running to the marble steps, his shews echoing through the large room, but before he reached the top step, his head calided with his father's chest. "What are you doing?" Lucous looked down at his son menicingly an unweilding hatred burned through his eyes. "I..i...was just..." the young boy was once again hit by his father, Draco fell down several steps, his lip bleading and finding he had several bruses and cut's on his arms and face. "You shape up and behave like a Malfoay, Draco or you'l find that your life will be very short lived."
Nanako lunged at the man who called himself a man, to do such a thing to his own child, not even sesshomaru would do such a cold thing. "YOU BASTARD! YOU DON'T EVEN CARE FOR DRACO! ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOURSELF, ALL HE WANTED WAS HIS PARENTS ATENTION!" Nanako tried to throw a punch at him but her hand went through his head and he walked through her, it was like she didn't even exist, but of course, this was Draco's memmory, she wouldn't meet him for at least six years later. the rest of Draco's memmory remained in a scimiler action, but as time passed She saw that draco eventualy became as cold as his father, there was a time when Draco looked about ten or so, that he ran a way for the time of about a week, he retuned to find that his parents dind't even realize he was gone, they just scolded him for not coming to meal times an hadn't even noticed how tatered and torn his robes where, draco took a warm bath and atempted to calm his nerves.
Nanako looked around the room they where in, Draco still transfixed to his younger crying self. Nanako looked to the little boy as well. "I just want to be loved by my mommy and daddy." He cried into his pillow. "i jsut want to be loved by anyone." he continued to sob. a growl was heard from outside, a kamera craled through the large window of Draco's room. was it real? or did it just appear to herself and Draco? Draco seemed to watch in horrer as his younger self was bing attacked by the huge beast like creature, it looked like a bear but with red eys and asid saliva driping from it's mouth. "Oh pleas let me help him!" Nanako squeezed her eyes shut, hoping that the outcome would be well. She huged Draco tight, he was still transfixed to the seen, he didn't blenk nor did he take a singl breath, he just staired wid eyed at his younger self.
"HERAKOTSU!" Nanako opened on eye to see...heself in her slayer's amer, she had just smached the Heraikotsu into thee kamera and it disinigrated as it was purified. "What's going on here?" Nanako whispered to herslf as she looked upon herself. "Are you okay draco?" nanako asked the still cowering nin year old who was backed up against the closed door that was opisit of the window. "Who...who are you." Draco squeeked. "Im a friend. i'm sorry i can't tell you my name right now but i can promis that i won't hurt you." Draco looke at the woman cautiously. "how do you now my name?" Draco asked as he looked into Nanako's brown eyes. "I know you...it's hard to explain but i'm from the future. i know you may not believe me but i wouldn't blame you if you didn't but you must trust that i came her to protect you. and tell you that you arn't alone in this world."
Nanako came close to Draco he looked up to her, frightened. "I wish you wheren't affrade of me." Nanako stated, hurt, as she put down the Heraikotsu beside her and kneeled, showing she wasn't about to harm him. "Why would you protect me?" Draco asked sadly, as though to say he didn't diserve it. "Why?" Nanako aked as though it where the most obvous thing in the word, not to mention a stuped question. "I protect you becaus i love you. don't ever think no one loves you Draco, because that would be an insault to me." Nanako laughed teasinly, her smile made him feel warm, a feeling he had not experienced sense he was so young, when his mother was able to show him the bit of love she had for him, that is to say before Lucous got involved. "why do you love me?" Draco asked, reminding her of ichiro, but also knowing that he would eventualy grow up to be the man that she would hopfuly have a romantic relationship with.
"your precious to me. and i know you'll grow up to be a great wizard, you protected me quite a few times in our sixth year, i ask for you to wate for me, to remember that i am here and will always be there for you, i will come back, and in the mean time, i want you to kow that there is...are people that love you." Nanako took draco's small hand in hers and put the necklace that he had given her for chrismas into his hand and closed his hand in her's, the wamth of her hand mad him understand, he would wate for her he knew that he would see her again, hopfuly in his first year. the crystal bear shined in the light of the moon, it's eyes twinkled in a promis that would someday be fulfiled.
"What do you want me to do with this?" Draco asked as he let Nanako put the necklace around his neck, she was so close, he could smell her scent, she smeled like cherry blossomes and snowdrops, her scent calmed him, he wanted her to stay, but she stood before him, he stood too, looking up into her gentle eyes. "i wnat you to return that to me when we meet again, you gave it to me this past cristmas in my time, and so i know you haven't forgotten the promes we made this night. promise me you won't forget that you are forever loved and promise that you won't ever forget me." Nanako huged draco tendrly. "I promis." Draco whispered he reterned the gestuer and kissed Nanako on the cheek, he didn't kow why but he know he would want to somday. "remember this Draco." Nanako whispered in his ear.
"Aishiteru." Nanako held draco tight for a moment longer. "what does that mean?" Draco asked inocently. "It means...i love you in japanese, youll find out when your older. goodbye Draco." Nanako picked up the herakotsu and jumped out the window, the navy blue sash on her wast blew in the wind as she jumped out of the fourth story window. Draco, not knowing exacty who she was leaned over the widow sill to see if she was allright and saw that she was just fine, she looked up, and waved goodbye, he returned the gesture. "Who are you?" He yelled, she jumped back up and gave him a happy smile. "I'm a demon slayer, but i can't tell y0u any more than that. i'll tell you the rest when the time comes." Nanako smiled and pecked Draco on the cheek, did a backflip and disapeared into the night.
"The memmory is changing abain." Nanako's startled voice cam in an echo. "Draco can't see me." Nanako thought as she looked at Draco's pale fac, his long hair becoming uravled, hair began to fall over his eyes. Nanako continued to look into the voide of darkess that would soon be another memmory of Draco's harsh past. "I don't get it...why do feel i'm not alone?" Draco looked up as though to ask the gods his question. No one answered him, he looked down again to see that he was in one of the compartments of the Hagwarts' Express, Crab and Goyl sitting beside him.
Draco was sitting near the window, it was raining and the drane seemed to be covered in darkness, there was no light ouside, just the cold. it seemed Draco was in deep thought, it took Crab about five minuts to snap Draco out of his thoughts. "Draco. Draco." crab's low voice came in loud Draco didn't hear him. "what is it carb." Draco asked bitterly through gritted teeth. "what do you think fifth yer's going to be like?" Goyl alked casualy. "I don't know nor do i care." Draco ansered bitterly, he took the necklace out from under his shirt, he wondered when the girl would come, would it be this year. the only reason why he stayed at Hagwarts was becaus he'd hope he would see the girl again and hopfuly find some answeres.
"if she doesn't come this year, i'm not coming back." Draco whispered, lightning stuck outside, causing the jeweled bear to glint briefly in the quick flash. "who'd you steal that from Draco?" Crab aked as he admired the tiny bear, it's eyes comforting draco in a promis that he'd hoped he could keep. "wouldn't you like to know, crab...i didn't steal it. somone gave it to me." Draco stated bitterly. "who gave it to you?" Crab asked with a mouth full of food and continued to stuff it with sweets and candies. "come on let's go torment Poty and weazlbee." Draco stood as he tucked the necklace under his robes and walked off, hoping to change the subject. "Potty! yes let's go torment potty." Crab and goyal laughed as they fallowed thir comrad as the left the compartment.
"Where am i?" Nanako looked around her, she was in darkness, and affrade, Draco wasn't with her anymore. she looked down to find that her feet where bare and soaked in water. Water? where was she? "where's Draco?" Nanako aked looking into the depths of the darness that sarounded her. "He awakened." Nanako turned to see Tsusokei. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM? WHAT DID YOU TO DO DRACO?" Nanako shook the wolf miko. "I did nothing, he simply awakened." Tsusokei replied calmy, Nanako was crying she cluthched to Tsusokei's horai to insure she couldn't get away. "what do you mean he awakened from a nightmare?" Nanako growled angrly. "i am saying he was reliving his past, and you wintised it." Tsusokei explaned still calmconsidering she was being nearly strangled by her reincarnation.
"Is that why i'm here?" Nanako asked as she reganed her temper. "yes." Tsusokei replied planly. "and just exactly where is here?" Nanako's earitated voice caught the attention of Tsusoke, the priestass grabed the girl's wrists and wrenched them off her."you are inside the Tsukiri jewel, our souls are becoming one you havn't pased on to the afterlife or even the workd between this world and the next." Tsusokei explaned the current situation Nanako was in. "You mean to tell me, that i'm dead?" Nanako shuttered. "yes." Tsusokei replied . "AND THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU?" Nanako questioned angrly. "Not nesesaraly, but our soul can now become hole, that's why Sesshomaru couldn't use Tensaiga." TsusokeI looked sympetheticly to Nanako,
"this is a way for you to live again..." Tsusokei was then interupted by Nanako finishing her scentence for the Hanyou miko. "i know our soul combinds into one and it will take till the next full moon to compleat the process." Nanako stated as though it where rutien, to know your dead and be reserected. "yes but our soul becoming one is only part of it. You must understand that if your body isn't healed or purified by the full moon it will then be nearly inposible to be revived." Tsusokei stated eurgently. "but that's only seven days from now!" Nanako yelled in outrage. "i know and your body was badly poisened, not to mention wounded." Tsusoke was quick in her explination.
"What your saying is...my body has to be distroyed and the jewel throne into the the coldrin on Horia island?" nanako asked sadly. "Yes but you must also understand that you cannot do this alone, there is a dark side that you somehow had dormint inside your body. somehow we must work together to purify this jewel and therefour distroying your body." Tsusokei took Nanako's hands in her own
. "you mean Kazuna has taken control of my body?" nanako asked bitterly. "yes unfortunitly so." Tsusoke replied focousing on the jewel. "if we purify the jewel and distroy my body won'd we distroy Kazuna?" Nanako had to yell her question, there was a strong powerful aura, challanging the power of the two priestasses. "she is why we must purify the body, distroying it.." Tsusokei began glowing as she held tight to Nanako's hands. "who will take the jewel to the coldren?" Nanako began to weaken. "that is somthing we must worry about when the time comes." Tsusoke replied telling Nanako to concintrate on defeating this dark aura that posesed her dead body.
Author's note

(author looking arount to three people who are on the computer reading the story..."wow tough crowd." ok i'm thinking of making a Zequal and i think it would be interesting. i havn't thought of the title yet but that's where Draco and Harry find out about Naraku and the next generation of youkai, hanyou, and wizards step up to defeat this enimy with their parents. there are a few twists to that too but hay what story doesn't have a few turns and roundabouts?
