Hey, guys! I know it's been awhile since I last updated and I'm sorry. But here's the next chapter.
There's a bit of a surprise at the end and I'd really like some input on where you think I should go with that idea.
If it should happen or not. Newayz...
Sit back, relax, and enjoy
Chapter 13
"So, what the hell happened out there?"
"I do not know, Inuyasha."
"Well, I want some damn answers, and I want them NOW!!!"
"Would you please shut up, baka. Do you want her to wake up?"
"YES!!"
"Mr. Takahasi! If you are not quiet this instant, I shall have you removed from this infirmary."
So, that's where I am. Inuai thought to herself. She tried to open her eyes, but quickly thought better of that idea as she was almost blinded by the harsh bright white of the Hospital Wing. The small groan that escaped from her alerted those around the room to the fact that she was now awake.
"Inuai, what happened?" a gentle voice asked above her.
"Ummm... I did something that was, in reality, very stupid, but at the time, I thought it was the right thing to do." Inuai said meekly while looking up at her mate.
"And what was so stupid?" Legolas asked patiently.
"I, uh, summoned So'unga to me." Everyone's eyes widen fractionally as they looked down at the young hanyou. "I really didn't know it was a bad thing when I did it, honest! I was just trying to protect myself and the students!"
"I know, you don't have to defend yourself." Legolas said reassuringly. "Poppy, is she free to go?"
"Yes, just make sure that she rests." the mediwitch said primly.
"You're suppose to be resting, love." Legolas admonished lovingly.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Inuai bit out. At the hurt look on her mate's face, she quickly changed her tone. "I'm sorry, really I am. It's just that I have too much going on to sit still."
"Mrs. Greenleaf?" came a voice from the fireplace. Inuai turned around to see the face of the headmaster in the flames."What can I do for you, Headmaster?" Inuai asked politely.
"It seems as though you have a couple of visitors in my office." Dumbledore said kindly. "I believe they said their names are Vikirnoff and Natalya." he elaborated at the hanyou's confused look.
"I'll be right there!" Inuai called excitedly as she ran from the room. Legolas quickly rose and followed his mate out, intent on making her rest per Pomfrey's orders.
"So what you're telling me, is that the vampires are aligning themselves with Voldemort, but the Carpathians are not?" Dumbledore asked quizzically.
"Yes, sir." Inuai said, clearly exasperated by the headmaster's lack of understanding.
"I still don't see your point, Mrs. Greenleaf."
"ARGH!!! Never mind!" Inuai growled, her eyes briefly flashing red before she turned and stormed out the door. If he didn't understand what she had explained to him twice, it was his own damn fault!
"Inuai?" asked a tentative voice, the hanyou, still very much in her thoughts, turned and pinned the intruder (in her mind) to the wall. She let out a gasp before releasing the man's neck.
"Oh, Kami, Moony! I'm so sorry!"
"It's okay, Pads. I'm fine. Besides," the werewolf chuckled, "I'd forgotten how good your reflexes are."
"Very funny, Moony." Inuai replied sarcastically. "Say, what are you doing after supper tonight?"
"Nothing that cant' be changed."
"Good, come to my rooms after dinner and bring Harry with you." And with that the hanyou turned and left.
Everyone in the Great Hall looked up to see a small black and white owl come flying in at dinner. All trying to figure out what was going on as it wasn't time for post owls. Presently, the owl came to rest in front of Harry. He took the parchment from the bird before giving it a piece of bacon from his plate.
"Who's it from, Harry?" Hermione asked her friend as the boy in question opened the parchment.
Mr. Potter,
Your presence is requested in my quarters this evening.
Mr. Lupin will accompanying you.
I.G.
"It's from Professor Greenleaf." Harry said a bit shocked.
"What's she want, mate?" Ron asked around a mouthful of food.
"I don't know, but I will soon, cuz here comes Moony."
"Hey, Harry!" Moony greeted the young boy cheerfully. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah, I'll see you guys later." Harry said as he got up to follow Remus. "So, what's going on, Moony?"
"I know about as much as you do, cub. So, I guess we'll find out together." Remus on the door to Inuai's rooms before stepping back to wait.
"Don't you know the password?" Harry asked confused.
"Yes, but I can never pronounce it correctly." the werewolf replied sheepishly as the door opened and the two were ushered in by a raven-haired young woman.
"Inuai's been expecting you, she'll be right down." she said smiling brightly.
"Thank you, Miss..."
"Call me Kagome." she smiled as she shook both boys hands. "I'm Inuai's sister-in-law. At least, that makes the most sense to us humans."
"I see you didn't use the password again, Moony." Inuai teased as she came down from the upper levels of the tower.
"You know it can't say it right, Pads." Remus bit back playfully. Inuai merely laughed as she shooed the rest of her family out of the common area. As soon as everyone was out of the room, Inuai put up the most complex silencing charm she knew. "Ok, it must be pretty serious for you to use that particular charm." Moony commented somberly.
"Well, I don't need anyone else to hear this, especially Dumbledore." Inuai said. "Now, why don't we sit down, and I'll explain everything." Remus and Harry looked at each other quizzically before sitting on the couch. "Dobby!"
"Yes, Missus Greenleaf, ma'am." the little house elf squeaked.
"Dobby, what have I told you to call me?"
"Dobby is sorry, Padsy."
"That's alright, Dobby. Would you mind getting us some tea and sake, please?" Inuai asked sweetly.
"Right away, Padsy!" and with that the house elf disappeared only to pop in a second later with the requested items. "Anything else Dobby can get for you, Padsy?"
"No, Dobby. That'll be all. Thank you."
"Inuai, please tell me that the sake isn't for you." Remus pleaded softly, slightly shocked that the pregnant hanyou had had it brought up.
"No, Remus." Inuai replied. "That's for Sesshomaru whenever he decides to get his tailed butt down here!" she ended in a yell.
"Must you always screech like that?" the tai-youkai commented with amusement in his voice. He knew it hurt her ears just as much when she did that.
"Good, now we can start." Inuai glared at Sesshomaru, miffed that he had kept them waiting. "I've got something that I want to try out that will take three different aspects of our world to accomplish." she started slowly. "This has never been done before so, I don't want to get your hopes up if it doesn't work." The hanyou looked seriously at Remus and Harry.
"What are you going to try, Pads?" Remus asked carefully as Harry nodded his head wondering the same thing.
"I want to get Sirius out of the Veil." the hanyou said softly but with determination shining brightly in her eyes.
"WHAT!!??" Harry and Remus asked at the same time, thinking of what that could mean. For Harry, it meant a home and never seeing the Dursleys ever again. For Remus, it would mean having part of his past back. A part that he missed dearly.
"So, how's this supposed to work?" Harry asked tentatively.
"Well, I have a rough outline right now, but by the time this needs to be done, it'll be ready." Inuai said softly. "At least, I hope it will."
"So, how long until it needs to be done?" Remus asked as everyone looked toward the sheepish looking hanyou.
"Halloween. At least, that's what all my calculations say." Inuai looked up at Remus. "Which means that you won't be able to be there to help, Moony. I'm sorry."
"What do you mean, I won't be able to help?" Remus bit out. "A pack of rabid werewolves wouldn't keep me away!"
"That may be, Moony, but one single full moon will keep you away that night." Inuai said apologetically.
"You mean?"
"I'm sorry, Moony. If I could do it any other night I would! You know I would!" Inuai cried out to her distraught friend. A couple of tears leaked out of her eyes. She knew how much this was going to kill her friend. She just wished with all her heart that she could move the night of the full moon for him or cure his lycanthropy.
"You know what? It'll be okay." Remus said calmly, shocking everyone present. "If it means getting Sirius back, I'll stay far away so no one gets hurt."
"Thank you, Moony." Inuai said wiping away the few tears that had leaked out.
"I'm just curious why you asked me to come if you already knew that I wouldn't be able to be there?"
"I need you to help Harry." Inuai said flatly.
"Me?" Harry asked.
"Yes, Harry, you. I need three different people to get this to work. A demon, an elf, and a wizard." Inuai explained. "While I have all three heritages in me, I cannot say all the spells at the same time."
"Oh." Harry didn't expect to help in the spell, but he decided he would learn part in it and make it perfect. The group talked for about an hour longer before Remus left to escort Harry back to Gryffindor Tower.
Blanket Disclaimerfor A Hanyou's Life:
I don't own anything you recognize. If I did, my daughter would probably be a spoiled brat.
So, let me know what you think about Sirius by hitting that little button down there.
If you don't, I'll do my own thing whether you like it or not.
So there!!!
Cheers!!!!!!
