AN: So you won't flame me I will now warn you that some stuff at the beginning of the story will be similar to yllom21's story, Strange Magic. My plot will be totally different but something small and unimportant things will be similar to hers because they couldn't be helped. On with the story.

Unexpected Youth
Chapter 6
To say that Snape was just angry would probably win you the award for biggest understatement of the year. Severus Snape wasn't just livid or irate; he was infuriated to the highest burning temperature; and all because of him.
Inuyasha Takashi.
That boy is going to pay for what he has done. He stole the teaching position that he has been after right from under his nose and has also pulled the most juvenile trick in history! He knows Takashi was the one to pull it! Who could be that infantile as to do something as childish as poor slime on someone but a kid who looks like he had barely left school himself? And the way he looked at him with that smug grin when it happened. As if to say that he was better than him!
That was so ridiculous that Snape could almost laugh. Almost.
But how he did it was the question. How did he do it so quickly? There was no possible way that he had known of the Weasley home before Dumbledore told him of the location. How could he have had the time to set such a trap without anyone noticing him wandering around the house causing trouble? Everyone said that he had been outside the entire time. And how did he know that he would sit in that exact seat. There was no way that Snape was that predictable, especially to a bloody, empty-headed, pretty boy that he had only known for a week or so.
How dammit! How!
Snape was going to figure it out whether it took him all year to. He couldn't let something like this happen again to him. He wouldn't allow it! He'd be damned if he did! He just needed to use a little legilimency to see how Takashi does his little parlor tricks.
And Takashi will pay for what he has done to him!

Inuyasha had to say that the British Ministry had to be the most fickle ministry in the entire world. Inuyasha had been told by Tonks that for about an entire year since Voldemort had been revived that the Minister had blatantly ignored the warnings and signs and had instead had done everything in his power to make that he had the wizarding world support by ridiculing the very people who gave him the warning. Though he kept his comments to himself with great effort, he still couldn't believe that not only the Minister but also the people that followed him could be that stupid. Inuyasha knew with the utmost confidence that if this had happened to Japan, the Minister would have at least made preparations even if he hadn't believe that a dark lord had come back. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
Minister Fudge was just that: pure horse manure!
And here he was: in the idiotic Ministry; here to sign some immigration papers so that he could, apparently, live here legally. He had hadn't even admitted into the stupid building yet and he was already irritated enough to rip someone's head off. He hated being still for long amounts of time and right then, being in a huge line; a very slow-moving long line he might add, didn't help matters anymore than they should have. He didn't even have Kilala with him to keep him company since "pets aren't allowed in the ministry." What bullshit!
The scenery was alright, but to his opinion, it was totally played out, The golden statue obviously told the social levels of each part of the British wizarding world. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at seeing that a wizard was the most important in the sculpture. Inuyasha couldn't stand people who thought wizards were the most important thing on this bloody planet and were pretty much the only thing that was worth saving except for the muggles (mostly). He's heard many people say that any person or thing with the blood of anything not human was automatically below the average full human wizard. One time someone tried to talk to him about that; seeming to be trying to convince him that human wizards were the best above all else. Let's just say that by the end of the day; the guy had sported a black eye.
About thirty minutes (that to Inuyasha seemed like thirty hours) later he walked to the main desk. The guard, without even looking at him, stuck out an opened hand, seeming to waiting for Inuyasha to give him something. Inuyasha looked at it for a second, before saying in an annoyed tone, "Excuse me?" 'If I have to pay this guy to get into the ministry, I am so out of here. Screw the law!'
"Wand." The guard said in a bored tone, still looking at the newspaper that was laid out in front of him on the desk. 'Well that's professional.' Inuyasha couldn't help but think sarcastically.
Nonetheless, with a flick of his wrist, his wand flew into his hand from the holster that was hidden in his right sleeve. 'That's why Dumbledore told me to be sure to bring my wand.' He usually didn't carry it; no need. But Dumbledore told him to bring it for "security measures".
The guard, never taking his eyes off the stupid newspaper, took his wand and put it on some kind of weight that was to his immediate left. A few seconds later a "ding" sound rung from it and a paper came out. The guard ripped it out and read it. "Rosewood. 11 ½ inches. Griffin feather?" he said, seeming to make sure that the machine was correct.
"Yup." Inuyasha said in agitation, eager to get the hell out of here as soon as possible.
The guard, finally glancing at Inuyasha as he returned his wand, eyes widened at Inuyasha looks. He immediately recovered and garnered a look that Inuyasha thinks he thought was flirtatious. It really just made him look happily constipated. "Hey toots… How about you and I go out sometime? I'm free on Saturday. Just give me your fl-"
"If you want to live, I suggest you don't finish that sentence." Inuyasha said menacingly as he leaned over the desk, grabbed the man by his shirt, and pulled him towards his face. The man kept the same infuriating attitude.
"Aahh. Playing hard to ge-" Inuyasha didn't let him finish that sentence neither and cuffed him hard in the back of the head. He walked off with a yelled "I'm a guy you jackass!" to which the man (and a few witches and wizards who saw the exchange) just stared after him with his hand clutching his throbbing head.
Inuyasha grumbled a wide vocabulary of curse words as he entered the elevator. He then heard a surprised voice say, "Inuyasha? What are you doing here?" He turned around to see Tonks carrying a few folders in her hands. 'Ah. Paper work detail. I remember that status.' He smiled fondly as he stepped closer to her. "Hey Tonks. I'm here to sign some immigration papers. What are you doing?"
"Me? I have to get these to the misuse of magic department on level six. Need any help?"
"You wouldn't happen to know where the Foreign Affairs Department is, would you?"
"Oh yeah I do…um… I believe it's on level five." She answered eagerly, appearing to be very excited that she got something right. Inuyasha looked at the meter on the door which already said five and the doors opened.
'That was quick.' He thought as he rushed out a "Thanks Tonks." and hurried out of the elevator.

Rikku was working under one of the ministry tanks. They had said that during a practice run it broke down. She was the best mechanic in the ministry so of course they wanted her to fix it. It was better than doing paper work for now. As she worked, her mind couldn't help but wander to other subjects. A subject actually; a black haired, lilac eyed subject.
It's been a month since he left and she was already missing him. But could you blame her? They had been inseparable from the day they met; the dynamic duo; the gruesome twosome for as long as she could remember. She couldn't think of a moment where they hadn't been together: at work; on missions; hanging out; shopping (usually for her); playing blitzball…
She stopped when she noticed that she screwed the wrong thing in by mistake. She sighed as she corrected the problem and continued. "Just nine more months and then he'll come back, like he always does." She mumbled to herself.
"Ya know, talking to one's self is the first sign of insanity." A gruff voice said in front of where she was working on the underside of the tank. Rikku in surprise momentarily forgot she was under it and hit her head as she tried to sit up. "Owie!." She whined as she rolled out form under it and rubbed her already red forehead. She looked up in frustration at who caused her to get a headache. It was her father, Cid.
She stood up in hurry to salute to him. Even though it was her father, he was still the minister; she still had to show respect.
"Hello father." she said uniformly.
"Don't talk to your old man that way. No one's even in the room." He said irritated. "And put your hand down for pity's sake." He snorted a little at her clothing. She wasn't wearing her uniform, but a blue mechanic suit that was only worn to her waist, the sleeves of it tied in front of her, a black formfitting tank top, white gloves, and a red bandana to hold back her hair than her usually head band. She doesn't and has never been the girly type. She always loved to get down and dirty.
She put her hand down and said tiredly, "Sorry dad." She was about to continue her work when Cid grabbed her arm to stop her. "I need to talk to you. Come on."
"But Dad, I have to finish this." She pointed at the tank behind her.
"You can do it later and if anyone says anything about it tell me… I'll handle them. Now come on. I want to talk to my daughter."
Rikku breathed deeply, put the screwdriver she was holding back in her tool box, and slowly walked towards her father. Cid weaved his arm around her slim waist and lugged her outside of the room.
He led her outside and sat her with him on the front steps of the ministry. The ministry is on an island near Tokyo; a small island where most of the ministry is submerged underwater. It is hidden with warding spells used for only muggle. Only witches and wizards could see the island and ministry. Most people get there by a hidden transporter than travels underwater to the second level of the ministry, or just apparation or floo powder. The top level, not covered by water and island, was surrounded by beach and then goes to the water surrounding it. Rikku just looked at her hands on her knees while Cid looked out to the open sea. The sun was soon setting below the sea's horizon, signaling the end of another day.
'Another day without him.' Rikku couldn't help but think. Her face couldn't help but crumple slightly at that thought.
She was drawn out of her self-pity by her father's sudden words. "You miss him, don't you?"
She blinked at the blunt question before looking away from her father, "I don't know wh-"
"Don't play dumb, kitty. You know who exactly who I'm talking about." He said gruffly.
A few tears fell from her face at the name that her father and brothers called her. Her father hadn't called her that since she was ten, when she joined the ministry. She sniffled and brought a sleeve to her eyes to staunch the tears, but they didn't seem to want to stop now that they had started. Cid put an arm around her shoulders and held her close to his side. He certainly wasn't the expert at calming a distraught girl since Rikku was his only daughter out of ten children.
"I do miss him, papa. I miss Inuyasha." She mumbled miserably.
Cid rubbed her back soothingly. "I know, kitty, I know. I knew you would miss him the most; you two were like fraternal twins and as close as chopsticks. I miss him too. Hell, most of the ministry misses the little squirt. But like he said, he'll come back."
Rikku got off her father rubbed her eyes and sniffled. "I know. But it doesn't stop me from missing him." She remembered saying that same thing to him the night before he left. Her words were even truer now that he was gone.
"Well, you're just going to have to suck it up and be an adult about it." He said plainly. Cid grunted as he stood. Rikku winced when she heard bones popping into place. "Well," he started, "I'm going back in. You comin'?"
"I'll be there." She said distractedly as she looked at the setting sun. Cid stared at her with a indiscernible expression before turning and walking back inside. Rikku just sat in silence and watched as the sun disappeared below the sea. When it could no longer be seen by her eyes and the sky darkened further she stood up and walked back inside as well.

"I'm telling you he was the one who did it!" Severus said for the thousandth time with only the heads of houses and Dumbledore in the room. They just stared at him uninterestedly and drank tea.
Dumbledore sighed tiredly. Severus had been going on like this almost the entire day; going on about how Inuyasha was behind the slime prank. Dumbledore had told Severus that he knew who was behind the prank, but when he didn't tell Severus the person's identity for their well-being (he knew that if Severus found out it had been Harry and Mr. Weasley that caused it, they wouldn't live past the first day of school) Severus assumed that it had been Inuyasha and therefore would not let go of his anger towards him. Now here he was in the staff room mumbling irritably to himself on how he was going to plot his "revenge" while Minerva, Filius, Pomona, and Dumbledore simply sat, drinking tea and watching him seethe with light amusement.
"For the last time, Severus, I told you Inuyasha was not the behind it." Dumbledore said tiredly.
"Where is Inuyasha anyway, Albus?" Minerva asked curiously, taking another swig from her Earl Grey.
"Oh. I believe right now he's at the ministry to sign his immigration papers." He replied, smiling slightly as he remembered the disgruntled face Inuyasha had made when Dumbledore told him he had to do that. They were once confronted by another growled statement from the irate potions master.
"But Albus!" Severus started. Minerva groaned in annoyance.
"Severus, get over it! It's over! Inuyasha didn't do it, so let it go!" she all but yelled.
Severus glared at her. "I have, woman! But there's something I just don't get."
Filius ran a hand down his face. "And what would that be Severus?" he asked jadedly.
"How did he know?" Severus asked curiously.
"How did he know what?" Pomona asked, putting down her cup and looking at Severus inquiringly.
"He knew that it was going to happen." He replied slowly.
"What do you mean?" Dumbledore said curiously as he shared a weird look with Minerva.
"Takashi knew that that was going to happen. He told me to move to a different seat. I didn't listen to him because I just thought he was being a conceited brat, but he had been right. How did he know?" he asked again.
"You mean he told you that it was going to happen? How could that be? He couldn't have known about it. Everyone had seen him outside. He never went inside the house." She looked at Albus for an answer to this, that for once he didn't have. How could he have known that it was going to happen? There's no way he had to have known. But he did and that's what's bizarre.
"When did this happen, Severus?" Dumbledore asked interestedly. He really didn't know that much about Inuyasha no matter how much they spoke to each other.
"It happened before you saw us speaking during the meeting. Like I said, He had told me to move to another seat."
They sat in silence at this news, trying to think of a logical explanation for it; but came up with only one.
"There is no kind Divinational Art that is that reliable so it can't be that, right."
"We don't know that for sure, Minerva. We'll just keep a small eye on him for a solution to this mystery." Dumbledore said and the teachers who were present (except for Snape) nodded their heads in conformity.

These people were really trying to piss Inuyasha off. Who the fuck cares what his mother's middle name is?! He certainly didn't. In fact he didn't even know. Knowing what his mother's middle name was wasn't exactly what he was yearning to learn at seven years old. And here comes another new stupid question: What is your life's ambition? What information could they possibly get out of that if he answered that? Not really seeing the point of answering it, he wrote "N/A" on the line and went to the next. He had been working on this an hour and forty five minutes and already he wanted to pull his hair-out in madness. This was really getting irritating. And it wasn't just because of the stupid questions either. It was also because they were completely random. The question didn't even go together to give you an indication they are separated into some sort of order. It was like some had just sat down and wrote down questions that just came from the top of the dome. He tore his way down the paper as he wrote and wrote until he reached two questions that stopped him in his tracks.
345. What wizard blood do you have? Pureblood; half-blood; muggleborn; etc?
346. Are you fully human? If not, what is your species?
Okay, those are reasonable questions. Most ministries have to ask that to insure the safety of its citizens. The problem was they answer he knew he was going to have it give would bring a whole lot of problems.
You see, Inuyasha has another secret other being a seer. A secret that he only had the courage to tell Rikku about. A secret that he has tried to enclose since the day he was born.
He was a demon.
Dog demon actually but that's just a small detail.
But to speak the truth he hadn't always been a full demon. He had once been a half-demon. You see it happened along time ago… when he was fourteen and was doing a shift in his personal lab…
FlashbackHalf-demon Inuyasha was experimenting on trying to make a new potion by using melted copper and tin as main ingredients. He wasn't sure what the potion would be used for, but it was worth a try.
At that moment, when he was pouring a tad more copper in the mixture, a fellow scientist, Kagome Higurashi, bursts through his door, making a loud noise in the silent lab as it hit the wall beside it that startled Inuyasha and nearly made him spill the melted copper all over the floor.
"Inuyasha!" she yelled in desperate panic.
Once he balanced the heated copper back on the burner with a sigh of relief, Inuyasha turned towards Kagome with heated irritation. "Kagome! What the hell have I told you about doing that! I almost spilled copper magma all over the floor and it would have burned through the floor and damaged the hull. Have you forgotten that we are underwater! Do you want to drown!?" he shouted in frustration.
Kagome squeaked in fear before collecting her wits. "I'm sorry Inuyasha… it's just that... well…" Kagome said nervously as she tried to phrase whatever she needed to say at that moment. Inuyasha still didn't understand her… she was older than him by a year in yet she was still intimidated by him. He was even shorter than her! His rank usually doesn't mean that much to other teenagers if he was younger and shorter than them but she was different for some reason.
"What do you want!? I have to finish this experiment." He said as he pointed toward the bubbling concoction behind him which was a thick dark red hue in color.
Kagome walked briskly over to him and took his arm before trying to drag him out of the lab. "Come on! We need to hurry! Something's happening in lab six!" she said grunted earnestly as she pulled in vain on his arm, but Inuyasha wouldn't move an inch.
"What? What's going on! Where's the fire?" he asked.
"It's Mahiko, Tubinowa, and Ranaka! They're trying to combine alchemical, spiritual, and magical energy into one thing by using components from each kind. I tried to tell them that it was dangerous to try such a thing without any calculations, but they wouldn't listen to me! You have to stop them!"
"Those idiots are always trying something stupid. Why won't Cid just give them the boot already!" he tugged out of Kagome's grasp and speeded out of his lab and down the hallway to lab six. It was quite a run since he was lab twenty-five. Kagome ran after him but Inuyasha didn't slow down for her to catch up.
He skidded in front of the white door that looked like his lab door. Inuyasha had his own lab which Rikku decided to decorate its door with an over-decked design of his name on the front since it was his own lab for personal experiments. But most of the other scientists shared a lab. He looked at the plain door that had a simple gold "5" on the front. He put his hand on the door carefully as Kagome walked behind him, apprehension racking both of their bodies.
Turning the knob, he looked at Kagome. "Kagome, go to Minister Cid's office and tell him what's going on. Maybe now he'll fire them." He whispered.
Kagome nodded quickly and ran the rest of the length of the hallway to the lift at the end. Inuyasha saw her press a button on the inside, the doors close, and the lift rise. He opened the door once he couldn't see the lift anymore. He cautiously peeked his head inside the lab, looking around and seeing several bubbling potions until he spotted them.
Ranaka, Mahiko, Tubinowa were gathered in a circle around a giant cauldron that hung in the center of the lab from a thick silver chain strung from the low ceiling.
Ranaka who had been working at the Minisry for about ten years was a small man in his late fifties, with short arms and no neck. He wore a handlebar moustache that didn't fit his face very well and had a few wisps of hair brushed over his head. He seemed to be holding a handful of pure white hair. On closer inspection, Inuyasha saw that it was unicorn hair.
Mahiko was thin man in his mid forties, barely holding any fat on any part on his body. For a scientist, his hands were almost always shaking. Inuyasha still wondered how he had become a scientist with such clumsy fingers. He had a red goatee and lank hair that was tied back. He was holding what looked to be bright red stone. Inuyasha's eyes widened at the sight of it. 'A Philosopher's Stone?' He thought shakily.
Last but not least, Tubinowa. With his round body, snow white beard and balding head in his late sixties, he looked like botched up Santa Claus. But unlike Father Christmas, Tubinowa hardly ever smirked let alone smile. He always had an everlasting grimace of disgust on his face and thought and spoke critically about everything. He was holding something that was the size of a pearl and was a beautiful soft pink.
Inuyasha eyes opened even wider when he realized what the object was. The Shikon Jewel, or The Jewel of Four Souls. He had studied the theory and legend of that object for three years. It was supposed to be in museum in top security. 'They had stolen it.' He thought warily. Of course they had the ability to steal it; the jewel had been in a muggle museum because muggles seemed to believe in spiritual energy more than wizards do. It would have been pie and cake for them to just waltz right and take it undetected. But stealing of course was illegal even if it was for an experiment, so that meant they would go to Kakara, the Japanese prison on a small island far in the Pacific. This was good news for Inuyasha, all of them despised his guts and Inuyasha returned the feelings fully. Inuyasha smiled knowingly before walking fully in to the lab. 'Might as well get this over with.' His smile turned into smug smirk.
"Okay you guys! Give it up! Put whatever you're holding down and put your hands up!" he said loudly, making the three men jump. They turned towards him with shock as Inuyasha just looked at them. As they moved Inuyasha got a better look of what was inside the cauldron. It was fizzing ominously and was a purple… meaning it was a merging potion. Anything thrown in its contents will merge together in a final equal transformation. 'Kagome was right. They really are trying to do this.' he thought shocked.
Mahiko was the next smirk after a few moments of silence and started to laugh insanely, and followed closely by the others.
"Why hello there, little brat. Here to join the party, are you?" he asked sardonically with a sickening smile on his face.
"Party?" Inuyasha mumbled as he looked at the small group suspiciously.
"Of course we're going to celebrate once we're finished. We are going to make history after all." Ranaka said mirroring Mahiko's smile.
"We are going to make the ultimate energy! With this power, our enemy will be all for the slaughter! No one would be to defeat us! Japan will conquer the entire world!" Tubinowa announced to an invisible crowd.
Inuyasha eyes widened at their proclamation, realizing that they have finally lost their minds! He made a forced smirk to hide how freaked out he was. "Yeah right! How do you even know if this will work? Have you made any research or calculations to get this outcome or are you stupidly winging it?!" he said loudly. At their silence, he took that as a yes. 'They couldn't be stupid enough to do this! They couldn't be!' Inuyasha thought nervously as a drop sweat fell down the side of face. He took his wand out of his holster (he still hadn't mastered the art of wandless magic yet) but didn't point it at them. "Come on, you guys… Just put the stuff down and step away from the cauldron. This is way too dangerous. And you're in enough trouble as it is for stealing the Shikon Jewel. You don't want anymore." He reasoned.
The mens' faces instantly changed to fury as they all glared at the young teenager. "Ha! As if we would listen to you! A mere child not even past his prime! You probably want us to leave so that you can do it for yourself and take the credit! You little brat, you don't deserve to be here with the professionals. You're with the big boys, kid, so how about you run off and play while you still can!" Tubinowa all but yelled as they all pull their wands out in case Inuyasha tried anything.
"Besides, it won't matter that we stole the jewel. When we create the most powerful substance in the world it won't matter much, will it." Ranaka said. They walked closer to the cauldron and were about to throw the objects in the think potion.
Inuyasha jumped in surprise and ran to stop them. "Stop! Don't do it!" he cried.
Mahiko was faster as he pointed his wand at the teen and yelled "Glacio!" a blue light came out of it tip and hit Inuyasha full in the stomach before he could create a shield. Inuyasha fell a few inches away where he had stopped and slid to the floor in complete paralysis. He couldn't move any part of his body and he helplessly watched as the men began to (in Inuyasha's opinion) commit suicide.
Mahiko stowed his wand in his white coat pocket and smiled cockily. "Now that we don't have anymore interruptions, gentlemen, shall we?"
The other nodded in agreement and altogether they dropped the jewel, Philosopher's Stone, and unicorn hair at once into the brew. 'No!' yelled in his head as he fought as tried to fight the spell, but his efforts came to no avail.
At first nothing happened, potion just continued fizzing. Then the potion turned pearl white and instantly settled, the surface laying flat. It started to glow, meaning that the concoction was finished. The men all smiled at it and Inuyasha just stared at with shocked eyes from where he lay. 'It worked?' he thought in shock.
"We have done it! We have created the ultimate en-!" Tubinowa started to laugh out before he was stopped as the potion started shine even brighter. It had reached such caliber that the men had to shade their eyes.
Inuyasha watched on, unable to do anything but stare as his eyesight was clouded with eye-searing brightness. Tears of pain escape his eyes as his eyes burned from it. That's when he heard a cry of pain and silence as the as the power started to flood out of the cauldron and envelope the room. Inuyasha felt the ability to move which either meant that Mahiko was either unconscious or dead. He got up shakily on his hands and knees and looked towards the cauldron. His eyes widened and his face broke in a sweat when he saw the raw power that was separated in tendrils and was lashing around the room from the cauldron before rising form the cauldron and merging together in one big ball. The ball started to spin at an alarming rate before instantly stopping ominously. Inuyasha stood up and walked weakly to get out the room, feeling more than knowing that the thing was about to blow. Before he could get to the door, it exploded and Inuyasha got caught in the explosion. He was hit in the back, thrown through the lab stone wall and knocked against the hallway wall. He land on his side and rolled onto his back.
He could feel the magic flowing through him and he was in so much pain he couldn't bear it. No scream could properly describe the pain he was in. He was gagging on the sheer potency of raw magic. He started convulsing as he felt his power growing, his body changing, and his innards rearranging within him. He was so out of it he could barely register a being hanging above him yelling at him in a panic. Footsteps… more muffled words… jostling of his body… His body continued to burn through all this commotion. Something wet and hot fell out his mouth as he was settled onto something firm and then started moving. He started to pass out from the excruciating pain when he saw a blurry face with familiar blonde hair in his clouded eyesight…
End of Flashback
It only slightly surprised him to know once he woke up in the ministry infirmary that he had been asleep for four days. Mahiko, Ranaka, and Tubinowa had died instantly from the power that they had created. Rikku visited him everyday until he fully recovered and then drove him home. During the recovery he realized that he was stronger than before; had better eyesight and smelling sense than he remembered. When he got home and looked in the mirror after he took off the glamour necklace that his mother gave him when he was four that he looked… well… different.
He found marks on his body that weren't there before. They were all black except the blood red star that lay on his forehead. He had a black stripe on each of his cheeks, his wrists, his hips, and his ankles. His hair was as snow white as ever, if not a little longer by a few inches. His claws were sharper than before. His dog ears, that he had been raised to be proud of by his mother, stood as they always were. Gold eyes were still there. His face hadn't really changed either.
All in all, the transformation hadn't been all that life altering.
A day after finding this, he did a blood check and found, to his astonishment, that he was full demon! The enormous power must have absorbed into him and made him a demon. It wasn't that big of life-changer as he thought it would be. He still worked at the ministry normally after he had fully recovered, his hair had grown longer but that could easily be explained if anyone noticed. He told Rikku as soon as he came back to work and she was both ecstatic to have a friend who was just like her (Rikku and her family were demons as well; cat to be exact) and happy that Inuyasha could finally feel that he truly belonged (even he already did belong) somewhere even though he still had to continue to hide his heritage. Kilala was also a cat demon.
But back to the problem at hand… the question… He couldn't exactly lie about the question. Anti-Lying Spell. But maybe he didn't have to tell the truth… the whole truth at least. He could probably move around it. But how?
He read each question three times and when he noticed what he could say for each he smacked his forehead with the palm of his hand. 'Duh! For the first, I can write Pureblood because I technically am a pureblood demon. And for the second I can write Inuyasha! Inuyasha does mean dog-demon in Japanese so it isn't exactly lying if you don't write it in a language they will understand. I can't believe I thought of that for so long! I'm supposed to be a genius!' With those two questions answered he didn't have anymore dangerous questions to anwer so he finished the rest without a hitch. Thirty more minutes later he finally finished. He put it in a neat stack and looked around to see where to put it.
To his dismay and irritation, there was no in or out box to put the form. 'Are these idiots just trying to make me stay here just to spite me?' He was contemplating just putting the damn form on the table and leaving he heard someone yell in a screeching voice that made his ears ring.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT! IT WILL NOT HAPPEN! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED IN BRITAIN!"
"Why not!" a gentle voice with a heavy French accent asked in desperation.
"YOU ARE A FILTHY HALF-BREED! I WILL NOT LET YOU INTO MY COUNTRY, DIRTYING UP OUR PEACEFUL SOCIETY! I AM DENYING YOU ENTRY!"
At those words Inuyasha was instantly angered. He had once been a half-demon as well and even though his mother had gone to certain matters so that he wouldn't be excluded in the human society, it still stung a little to hear the overall opinion of what people thought of half-breed. Just because he was now a full demon, didn't mean that he was going to turn his back on his kind. That would make him the worst of hypocrites. Just when he was about to stand, the door to his left burst open seconds after that announcement, making Inuyasha jump slightly. But looking at the woman that came through the door's face made give small yelp in surprise.
To put it slightly, the old woman looked like a frog. She had too big bug eyes that seemed to sticking out of her sockets as she breathed deeply in anger and glared at him. She had a bright pink robe with a tickle-me-pink bow in her stringy gray-brown hair.
"AND THAT GOES FOR YOU, TOO!" The woman poked a meaty finger in his chest.
"What did I do?" he asked as he pushed her offending finger from his stomach and noticed out of the corner of his eye that another witch with long, light blonde hair and blue eyes entered the room. She had tears in her eyes as she watched the argument that was conspiring between him and the woman.
"You're a half-breed! I can tell by just looking at you face that you're part veela, just like her!" the woman yelled and pointed at the girl behind her. The girl blushed and smiled at him before moving her eyes down to her feet.
Inuyasha looked at her as if she had lost her mind. "What? Where did that come from? I am not part veela!"
"You have to be! You haven't spared a glance at this half-breed since she walked in which means you're not affected. And the only way you can't be affected it by it is if you're female and a veela! And you're pretty enough to be one!"
Inuyasha didn't know how to respond to a statement like that except to say, "I don't know if I should be insulted or flattered." Inuyasha looked at the girl as if to ask a silent question to her before shaking his head and looking back at the disgusting lady. "Who the fuck cares what kind of blood she or anyone else has? I sure as hell don't!"
The girl looked slightly surprised but then gave him a small smile which Inuyasha returned. The woman, seeing the exchange between the two, twisted her face in utter disgust. "That's ridiculous! Everyone knows that those with the any kind of blood that is not fully human are disgusting creatures that should eradicated at the source. Mudbloods are bad enough!" She crossed the line on that one.
'My mother was a muggleborn, bitch!' he thought angrily.
"I don't know what century you come from but listen up! It's the 20th century and things change although some people don't! And about you not wanting to give us entry to Britain because we're prettier than you, well guess what everyone and their grandma is prettier than you so face the fucking facts, ya toad face bitch!" Inuyasha panted lightly at his outburst and inwardly berated himself for losing control like that but was kind of glad that he did. He calmed a bit before stating coldly, "By the way, denying us entry just because you don't want us to is illegal so if you don't want to go to jail, I suggest you stamp our forms… now!"
The woman was put in an outraged silence. She seemed to be arguing to herself. Then suddenly she stomped over to her desk, picked up an overly large stamp and stamped both of their forms hard before snatching them from their hands and slamming them on her desk.
"Get out!" she yelled and Inuyasha and the girl didn't have to be told twice. They walked out fairly quickly and made their way to the lift. The girl decided to break the silence that they had held for a few seconds. "Thank you for the help. I'm getting married soon in Britain and there was no way I was going give up getting entry. I'm Fleur Delacour by the way." She stuck out a delicate hand for him to shake to which Inuyasha did do. "Inuyasha Takashi. Nice to meet you."
Fleur gave him a charming smile and Inuyashsa felt that she was trying to use the thrall of veela magic to reel him in, but Inuyasha, being a demon, was immune to that sort of mind control so he simply smiled back and walked into the lift, to Fleur's great confusion and hidden frustration that her thrall for once didn't work.
