Chapter 2

Suffering in the Might of Magic

'Son of a Bitch!' I gasped gripping my head. I didn't remember what happened. All I knew was that I am now in a strange white room with white clothing, and short butchered black hair.

Closing my eyes I tried to remember what had happened. There was a man, yes a big man. And Mad-eye laying dead on the ground. Poor Mad-eye. Then there was a women. A toad women standing over me. She gripped me by the back of my hair. And cut it off with a blade conjured from her wand.

My hand moved through my short hair. It wasn't to bad. It had grown passed my ears already. It was red. How odd.

Then there was a 'tsk' and the toad women raised her wand to my head.

'The bitch cursed me!' I screamed to the walls.

There was a tapping behind me, a spun around automatically.

A small boy in wizards robes was tapping on glass and pointing at me. I growled and a blonde witch standing beside him scurried away dragging her son along.

'Tsk, Tsk, Tsk.' A voice came from a white door nearly invisible against the white wall. It was the toad women. ' Such roughness, like an animal.' She assessed sweetly. ' Half-breeds are just… disgusting.'

I growled at her, as two giant men grabbed me by the arms and pulled my arms back. The was a metal click, I couldn't move my arms anymore. 'What the eff are you doing!' I screamed as I kicked the smaller one under the chin. They quickly pushed me down into a wheel chair and strapped me in. I couldn't move my legs. A straight jacket.

'There.' the bigger of the two men gurgled. 'all nice and secure.' I screamed and spat in his face. His fist rocket forward.

The side of my face exploded. Or so it felt, I was gasping for air and the toad women wheeled me to my unknown destination.

No one spoke to her as she wheeled a screaming me through the halls. She wheeled me passed her door, "Dolores Umbridge."

We passed the boy again. This time he waved and smiled, I smiled back, trying to make the little boy feel better. I could hear him whisper to his mom. ' Mommy, help her!'

The mothers glared at me. 'No Josh, she's a demon she's not worth saving.' My face dropped, and head looked forward. Just like I did when I was a child when I got tripped by that boy into that pot…

In the center of the busiest hall lay a chamber made of glass. Where a bed with thick metal bands where the feet and arms went shinning in the muted light of green fires and candle light.

I understood.

I was being made the example of where a half-breed belonged.

They rolled me into the chamber where Pius, Rufus must have been out, was waiting for me.

'Ah, darling. What a beautiful specimen. You will be a perfect mate.' He whispered hooking my chin with his fingers.

'Your what?' I asked denying what it meant.

The Future Minister of Magic smiled. ' I. Pius, will break you half-demon. I will become your master.' He smiled at the word, I looked down at Harry's choker. 'No no. Don't look for it, I left it where your dominator could find it.' He drew closer has he continued. 'Once you are broken you will mate me. Be my partner so I can rule for thousands of years. You'll make pretty babies that will help me control the world with the Immortal Dark Lord forever.' He puffed out proudly. ' You are very lucky. The Dark Lord wanted me to kill you. But I convinced him you have more, entertaining uses.' He kissed me as a sign of owning. I bit his lip trying to take it off, I didn't succeed, but I drew a lot of blood.

'Get that bitch hooked up!' Pius shouted. I smiled a dark smile as he dragged me into the bed,

'You'll never break me you bastard. I belong to the Chosen One.' I sneered at him. Around me was metal clicks as metal kept me in place.

As they attached a mask to my mouth and my nose he swept over to me. 'You won't be saying that for long. And it's not that you have a choice in it anyways.' he greedily gripped my chest. I growled and shrieked trying to break through my prison

Laughing terribly, he moved to end of the room staring at me with hungry eyes.

Umbridge giggle excitedly. 'Let's see how you take to ice.' And slowly she turned a knobbed on a gas can.

I screamed as gas so cold spread to my throat. Ice slowly spread to my lungs, then to my arms, my stomach, to my knees. Then my feet. And finally I felt a cold chill in my brain.

' Let's see how long it takes you to willingly go into my bed.' Pius whispered through the fog. 'Dolores. I want this girl to forget everything. Her past, her friends, her family. Even her name.' I heard him smile through his words.

'What is her name Minister?' Dolores cooed.

The Future Minster didn't answer for a long time. 'The wife of the Minister should be something self explanatory, hmmm?' He meant it as a question to himself. 'Breeanna. Her name, is Breeanna.'

Dolores and Pius left the room, leaving me to my chilly thoughts.

Hours and Hours I spent in my own cold hell.

The last thing I thought about before I drifted off, was Harry.

' I don't need a room like this anymore.' His eyes closed in grieving. Pain Twisting in his body was unbearable.

'I love you!' A second voice rang after he turned around and took a step towards the door 'Please please don't leave….'

'Mate me…'

I felt terrible regret, I had lost my chance.

'Good morning Breeanna.' Pius played her long red hair.

Breeanna merely blinked blankly. 'Today is the day you've been here forever. Where's you're Chosen One now?'

Again, nothing.

He removed her mask and said. 'And what have we learned in this month Breeanna?'

Her voice came out weak and rough. ' I live only to serve you master.' She stared blankly into space.

Pius smiled. Breeanna lay doing nothing at all. I felt nothing but chill anymore . No sense of being. Breeanna only served her master.

'Good.' While a broad, black man standing there disgusted. Kingsley.

A little, pink haired women beside him looked so sad. Tonks!

And a small red headed man who's glasses were lopsided and hair was retreating. Mr. Weasley.

Tonks whispered something to the tall man, though Breeanna did not care. She was quite used to it. They three old faces walked away reluctantly. And Cold Death renewed.

'Hey, InuYasha. Wake up.' A deep cold voice spoke.

How disorientating. I could have swore I was alone.

'Think she's okay? InuYasha honey your safe.' Came a motherly voice.

'Look at her Rin I don't think she's safe in her own head.' Came a angry squeaky voice. 'I mean look at her irises. Their all blue and smoky.' This was all so odd. My eye's were closed. But there was no one else but me around. Why did I think it was me anyway? My name is Breeanna, I am….

I moment of shock rushed through me. Who was I? where was I from? Who was I before being strapped to the Cold? There was a sound, almost like screaming. Blinking, I discovered I had eyes.

There was a man with long white hair ripping the metal that bounded me to the table, and with the metal giving another scream both my arms where free.

A women with black hair tied up into a bun sat me up. 'Not bad for a prison eh!' She giggled, hugging me. It felt right, though I had no idea who she was.

After my feet were free the white haired man swooped me up, an alarm sounded. They had caught him.

Guards swarmed in. The white haired man actually laughed, 'Die weaklings.' and I blade swished through the air, while at the same moment the twenty guards dropped to the floor.

The white haired man was suddenly moving, faster then I've seen anyone run, my hair flew in all directions.

A fire burst out in the hall, and a toad man wobbled near him 'It's done master.' The white haired man nodded silently and jumped out of the glass ceiling, shattering it.

I saw my bed, my glass cage flying away out of sight as the women flew behind him on a two headed dragon.

I was still very confused.

The moment the white haired man and I stopped was the moment he whispered 'Hold your breath.' and he spun on the spot.

I felt like I was being compacted all of the sudden. I couldn't breathe. Just like the Cold didn't allow me to sometimes, when finally thought I was going to suffocate, I smelled the fresh country air.

We walked for a good hour, it was passed midnight, and I was so tired. Slowly, I drifted off into the night sky…

I was jerked awake by a small fall. A delicate pink blush painting the sky. I must have slept for hours.

I looked up at the white haired man. He had been silent all the way through the trip, and nothing now as we walked through a small forest. His eyes were so gold.

It hit me. 'Sesshomaru?' I gasped disbelieving. I knew him. Didn't quite know how, but something made fear rack through me.

Sesshomaru frowned with his eyes narrowing. 'Feel lucky I owe your mother for raising Rin.' And looked at the women running beside him. He didn't look at her in a lovers way. It was more of a daughters way.

I remembered Rin too. She was practically was my big sister for a long time. She caught my upside-down glance and beamed.

The Burrow slowly came into sight, as did a rush of excitement. Laughing I wiggled out of Shesshomaru's arms and ran towards the metal rusty gate.

'Wait!' yelled Rin. Holding up Dumbledore's and my phoenix wand. 'You had these in your pocket!' I patted my pockets in my white clothing, but I wasn't wearing it. I was wearing red silky dress, glittering in the morning sun. and my hair ( which had returned to black) tied up into a delicate bun with small braded the connected to the sides of my bangs wrapping around my head into the bun. 'Hope you don't mind that I changed you. Your parents wouldn't have recognized you with all that blood and white!' Rin laughed as she twirled on the spot. Always the happy one.

Blushing Scarlet from my chin to my hair line and took my wands. Pointing Dumbledore's at the gate I whispered 'Alohamora!' and it flew open.

Someone screamed just then and a red haired plump women flew outside still holding a pan of bacon that she had obviously been cooking before she saw me.

'YASHIE!' Three voices called in unison. I knew those voices.

'InuSuke! Mom! DAD!' I screamed back running to meet my family in the middle. InuSuke made it to me first gripping me around my waist.

'Big sister! I thought…' his eyes were watery and I kissed him on the cheek.

'It'll take a lot more then a fall to kill me.' I said this proudly. InuYasha flaming into existence again, though I was still quite fuzzy around the edges of my memory.

'Took you long enough.' a red haired man ran over hugging my waist for my father was crushing me in his arms.

As soon as my father let go My mom, Hermione, Shi, Steph, and Mitch were trying to hug some part of me. Their daughter, their friend and their leader.

After everyone had screamed something in my ear and hugged some part of me, I noticed a man. Not a boy. But a shocked man in the door way.

Harry had changed, I was suddenly frightened. Had he changed to the point were he was a so different he did not want me. My eyes drifted to his hand, were there was the gleam of my choker.

I was home.

I moved slowly, trying not to terrify him. He mirrored me, as f unsure that I was real.

One more step, slowly moving forward. I could see the deadness in his eyes slowly disappearing and joy restoring itself.

Two more steps, Fast walking. I could see the shadow of facial hair on his face, his perfect stomach under his frumpy shirt. How his legs curved with every step working together in perfect harmony.

Three more steps, almost to him and almost in a run. I could smell him. Hear his heart pumping in fright of joy, the smell of warm blood in his veins. And the smell of cherry blossoms, night air, chocolate. Something I had mistaked as one smell in the love potion…

I was in his arms, that wrapped around me, cold to my skin. His hands touched my face, I felt the pulse through his hands. My heart pounded with happiness. 'Yashie?' his voice was silk to my sensitive ears. I didn't answer his question, every partial in my body was alive.

Kissing him I felt the soft brush of his lips, the sweet taste of his breath…

Had this only been 30 seconds? Felt like days, the happiest days. My mind was so efficient now.

I looked passed his head and through the door, there was a clock that showed the date and the time. It was July 31. Harry's Seventeenth birthday.

'Harry…' I smiled pulling back. I put on my choker gracefully, in complete bliss of the reunion, I felt the latch disappear.

Everyone would not let Harry have all of me. Body smashed into me, holding me in a grip. Not the grip of the straight jacket I had been wearing, but in happiness. I felt loved.

I felt my hand get pulled as Harry motioned into the house. We'd discuss my escape. If we had time.

My ready bed in the Weasley's broom closet, waited for us. Harry, suddenly jumping on it sat on the bed arms wide towards me. Smiling a snuggled closer into his chest.

I had never realized how the slant of light came in through the window. Interesting that I could see so clearly. I thought my half demon eyes were good, but my eyes now were excellent!

Suddenly I was on my back, Harry laying on top of me smiling a bright white smile. I feasted on his face, so much even half demons miss.

'I-' I began but he put a finger over my mouth, he wasn't wearing his glasses. I distantly remembered fixing his eyes, so his green eyes glowed unaffected.

'Shh, We can talk later.' His breath was warm, his smell so beautiful.

I was secretly pleased to not that there was no screaming in my head, for there was no human nor, demon side to argue. There was me, only me.

His lips touched mine as his hands cradled my waist. His hand manoeuvred now to my knee suddenly hitching it to the back of his legs. I realized what he was doing. And I froze without any sign of moving.

'Crap.' He whispered moving his head to a pillow beside my head.

'You think you could trick…' My face reddened with embarrassment for not catching on sooner.

He smiled closing his eyes. 'It was a hope that one you would have changed your mind, or you were to dazed from the Ministry to notice…' He looked utterly ashamed of himself, I could tell it was not thought through, acting on a whim.

Sighing I sat up, regretting I would have to have this conversation. 'Okay look. Not only is that totally an asshole move It wouldn't have worked anyway. Even right now it wouldn't have worked.' I looked him in the miracle of his eyes and added gently ' Harry, I'm still fuzzy. I have to be in complete need of having you as my mate. My father mated my mother because of the joy that she hadn't died. I know that right now there is not rush. Not yet anyway, I have my one breath, the one to save one person. If worst come to worst. I'll use that. Then maybe then if we make it out of this, in a couple years, if you want to still be my mate, then I'll take you. Not till then though.' He had no idea how long I had thought about this.

He looked at me in confusion, slowly I saw it twist and morph, into rejection and pain. 'You don't want me.' He said blankly. Wasn't a question, or an accusation. Just a state of fact.

I shrieked, again very bird like and stood up. 'Your kidding right? You think this is what this is about? If feeling was the main problem I would have mated you long ago! It's because it's stupid before I know that you aren't going to die in my arms! Grrr!' I felt myself shake with anger. He just couldn't wrap his human head around it.

'You think I would be stupid enough to just roll over and die! I'd fight every last step! Till my last breath!'

'And that stupidity of not knowing when to run is what makes you so stupid!' I yelled picturing all the times he has had to save my butt from trouble.

'Well if you feel that, then I guess I have my answer!' His green eyes glistened with anger. Storming out of my room, he slammed the door behind him.

I sat on my bed in my own guest bedroom for a long time in the Weasley's broom closet. ( which my mothers spell had sustained and remained a roomy guest house…) Finally I rose and got into a pair of tight brown leather pants and a red tank top as the men in the house helped set up for Harry's birthday dinner.

Walking downstairs I looked at myself. Over my choker was the gold and green necklace Harry gave me for Christmas.

'Yashie dear?' Ms. Weasley called from the kitchen. I stood there shocked, not knowing what to expect. 'Could you come here for a second, dear?' The was something in her tone, it frightened me.

Walking in slowly I walked to her side, out of the corner of her eyes she looked at me and said 'Will you please help me ice the cake, dear?' She asked shoving a spreading knife into my hand.

'Sure…' I slowly picked up a lump of gold butter cream and spread it on the beach ball like cake.

'So, it seems Hermione, Ron, and Harry think you all are abandoning your education.' She accused lightly still not looking at me.

'Well yeah, I guess we are. I mean, Harry has to. And me being the insane one I have to be near him, but Hermione and Ron don't have to come with us-'

'I don't see why you have two have to leave either.' cut Ms. Weasley off. She finally looked at me, her eyes red and splotchy. ' Yashie, Harry said there was something Dumbledore left him to do, and that you have to be where he is. But I think he misunderstood he can-'

'He didn't misunderstand. Everything Dumbledore told him he told me. It's time that I come straight with you Molly.' I put my arm on her, telling her the truth, well part of it. 'This can only be done by Harry, and me.' I closed my eyes thinking about how I wanted him to stay safe, to not go. 'But he, we have to do this! And we're not going to put anyone else in more danger!' I gripped her, determined to make her understand.

'She patted my cheek and smiled weakly. 'Protect Ron. And Harry.' It was like the last night Dumbledore died. She spoke with such confidence in me. Strong and kind…

The sun began to get as everyone sat down for Harry's dinner. Smiling, I landed up sitting beside Hagrid. We talked animals and the care for them, and with every moment the giant smiled at me.

Huh. I smiled at myself. It's been almost a year since I sat in Hogwarts beside Hagrid, trying to ignore him and thinking that he was a big idiot. But now, changing over this year made my head spin. I wondered suddenly, if I was the same person somewhere. Strong headed, stubborn, childish. Cold hearted… like my father when he was with Kikyo. Was I the InuYasha of the next generation?

I smiled at myself as I knew the answer to that question.

I may be InuYasha. But Harry was my Kagome.

He had changed me. Made me into someone that could feel something. Think of someone else. Smile. He showed e how to love.

Suddenly my whole world blossomed as I realized the truth. Dominating, and Mating. Were not something that was a burden on a demon.

It was to tell that person you love them, You need them, and you would rather die them be with them.

'Yashie? You okay? You look like ya' gonna cry.' Hagrid mumbled nervously. I looked at him.

'Hagrid.' I smiled as he nodded. 'I can honestly say I've never been better in my life.' Harry who had been grouching in his seat across the table at me looked up suddenly, shocked. I looked at him ad smiled, finally realizing what any of the others I had been with or been told to marry failed to teach. We were, no matter what we were, were each others equals.

Suddenly there was voices around me and I couldn't help stare at the bliss and wonder on Harry's face as the Snitch cake dropped right in front of him.

The day of the sun that had risen shining on the new day where I was free again slipped into night. Today everything had a meaning. I wondered what the night was meant for…

Suddenly a Patronus of a golden retriever leaped in front of Molly. Speaking in Arthur's voice ' The Minister is with me.'

Suddenly there was a loud crack, and I felt a rush of panic. But I wasn't the only one. Hagrid ran into the field behind the Burrow and Tonks with Remus jumped over the fence. There stood Rufus.

'Sorry to intrude,' said Rufus who leaned on his walking stick. ' Especially as I can see that I'm gate crashing a party.' his eyes lingered on the cake. 'Many happy returns.' he smiled lingering on Harry.

A deep threatening growl came loudly to life from my chest.

His eyes flashed to mine. 'Lady Higurashi. I thought I'd never see you again.'

I stared coldly. 'I'm sure you didn't.' I sneered.

His eyes moved this time to Molly. 'I require a private word with Lady InuYasha Tashio Higurashi and Mr. Harry Potter.' Looked at Mr. Weasley. 'Also, Mr. Ronald Weasley and Miss. Hermione Granger.' Out of the corner of my eye I saw Steph, Mitch, and Shi trade looks. I remembered the argument about us staying together through the journey, the night before I left to get Harry. But it wasn't possible.

'You can take the Sitting Room.' Ms. Weasley spoke up. And in a flash, without even thinking about it. I was changed into my brown leather cat suit, hair in a high ponytail sitting in the Sitting Room and Rufus limped in with Hermione, Ron, and Harry. We all sat, side by side, on the couch.

'I have questions for you four, and I think it will be best if I ask individually. Lady Higurashi will you escort Mr. Potter and Miss. Granger out for a second?' His eyes flashed at me. I knew this tactic. A demonic aura was stronger on one person then spread over four. He wasn't catching anyone with that trick.

' Go to hell, together or nothing.' I said as I grabbed Harry's and Hermione's knee and pushed them down.

'Alright, together then.'

I was suddenly not listening to the next part, arguing around me and something of a will.

' "The Last Will and Testament of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore"… yes, here it is… "to Ronald Bilius Weasley, I leave my Deluminator, in hope that he will remember me when he uses it…"

" To Hermione Jean Granger, I leave my copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, In hope she will find it entertaining and instructive.

" To Harry James Potter, I leave the Snitch he caught in his first Quidditch match at Hogwarts, as a reminder of perseverance and skill" He said something else in his eyes and after a moment I could smell anger rising along with his voice and as he limped forward I smelled threat, I caught a glance of a pissed off Harry.

Suddenly I was in front of Harry crouched growling, lethally flashing red in my eyes to tell him not to take another limp.

Ms. Weasley stormed into the room. 'We thought we heard…' They caught a sight of us. ' Raised voices and growling.' They looked as Rufus and I straightened glaring to each other.

'Let me remind you where you're supposed to be Miss. Tashio.' He hissed. I growled again.

'I don't know what your talking about. Why don't you go ask Breeanna.' I hissed right back. His eyes went oddly blank.

Suddenly he pulled out the piece of parchment again and spoke in a professional voice.

' " To InuYasha Kurami no Tashio Higurashi, I leave this necklace that was your grand mothers to remind you of your heart, kindness, beauty, and your ability to do the right thing." '

Taking a necklace with a thick snake like chain with a Clear flat oval crystal the size of a large walnut.

Suddenly Rufus was gone with a large crack! Having Apperated right out of the Burrow.

I gripped the ordinary necklace by the jewel and I knew it was no ordinary necklace, it was a necklace that had magic the pulled at your power. I smirked having only seen the consuming magic in one other crystal, the crystal in this very room. The one around Harry's neck in fact.

It had the same power as the Shikon no Tama
