Chapter 6

On the Run and the Demons way

Air filling in my lungs again,

A scream.

Suffocating again.

Harry's hand slipping out of mine.

These were the last things I remember before I passed out.

I was awoken to a glittering gold and green sparks behind my eyes. Also, my sensitive nose picked up the sweet smell of grass, the earth, and the burn of rich wood.

As I was slowly awoken I felt something wrapping itself in my arms clinging onto me as if it's life depended on it.

'Yasha-Bella…' Inusuke whimpered reinforcing his grip.

Ah, another nickname. This one had been my mothers idea. When I was little she had have me a black ribbon with a bell on it so she would know where I was. Every step I took the bell tinkled. My mother always laughed and said 'Here comes my Yasha-Bell!' And so my father, trying to make it less ridiculous called me "Yasha-Bella." For special moments, not the everyday Yashie.

'It's okay Sukie. I'm here.' I hugged him back. It felt good to have a small piece of my family here. My little brother who was connected to the life I had once.

After awhile I became aware of a gurgled cry. Looking up I saw Harry passed out with a locket in in his hand, Hermione kneeling over Ron, and…

My stomach lurched. Ron's arm was covered in blood, but no skin.

'Hermione what?' I couldn't finish, or take my eyes off of Ron's arm.

'Splinched.'

Not knowing what that meant I shook Harry awake as I dragged my brother away.

As soon as we were in the forest out of site of the other, we both threw up.

'Where.. Ga.. Are we?' InuSuke choked out, he was on his hands and knees, heaving.

I shook my head. I knew this was going to happen it always did. Demons shouldn't Apperate. They get sick, badly. I tried and hid it from Ron , Hermione, and Harry up as soon as I walked to the bathroom Harry caught me and demanded I don't take shifts spying on the Ministry.

After about an hour of pure hell, we slowly walked to where the others were. Stunned to find a tent had been constructed. A tiny tent.

Crouching in I saw the last thing I'd expected to find.

It looked like a house made of cloth. Arm chairs, a wooden table a fire. A lingering smell of cats…

Hermione smiled running over to hug disgusting, throw up smelling me without even crinkling her nose.

'We need to… Wash.' I choked back another heave as InuSuke walked over to one free set of bunk beds hit the bottom bunk and was asleep in seconds.

I leaned on Hermione as I tried to get into the impossible but still there bathroom.

After Hermione's help of helping me undress and dress ( to my extreme embarrassment ) I crawled into my bunk bed.

'Holy crow!' I shouted. I was so cold could have been a popsicle.

Pulling out Dumbledore's wand I tried to warm the tent with a command not a spell

'Warm up the tent.'

Suddenly sparks flew out of the tip and everything was warm and comfortable.

Laughing in amazement I rolled over closing my eyes.

'Yashie?' a voice disconnected in the dark to the person.

' Harry?'

'Can you come here?' He sounded awkward.

Sigh… I wanted to sleep so I could feel better in the morning. But it was Harry. 'Sure.' I jumped down from my bunk bed and sprung for his flipping in the air so I landed laying down beside him. 'You rang?'

He laughed and patted my face. 'You know you look great in the moonlight.'

I rolled my eyes. He was ever that figurative. He was trying to make me less mad when He revealed his secret. ' Skip the crap and tell me what it is Harry.'

Harry laughed pulling something out under his pillow, a file.

Looking guilty he opened it, and there was my face. It was scratched, and soot was all down one side of my cheek.

INUYASHA KURAMI NO TAISHO HIGURASHI

Blood Status: Unknown, but Mother daughter of Dumbledore, Father known legendary "Half-breed" . Known member of "The Order of the Phoenix."

Family: Father (Half-breed) , Mother (Half Blood), twin sister, younger brother.

NB: Has been dominated by Undesirable No. 1

Security Status: UNKNOWN. Possibly with Undesirable No. 1. Known Akuma hantā and Purinsesu.

My jaw dropped. Hunter and Princess.

'What does that mean?' Harry asked crinkling his nose with curiosity.

'Uh… Hunter and… Priestess.' I invented wildly. It was true, kinda. I had some training but I was far from a "Priestess."

'Cool… what happened to your hair?'

I rolled my eyes, he just totally dismissed something important and was curious about something as trivial like my ruined short uneven hair. I brushed my hand through the long and short parts. 'It was either my brother or my hair. I just moved a little to slow to get my hair out of the way.' I laughed and a book flew at m from across the room. 'Go to sleep InuSuke!' There was a grumble and a snort as he turned himself away from us.

I looked back at Harry. His full lips stretched into a grin. ' I could fix it.' he joked, like he didn't expect me to consider it.

Stupid kid knew nothing about domination.

'You're the only one who can' still light but serious at the same time. 'You're the only one who can change me. Or make me leave you.' I frowned at him as the pain of that picture hit me.

Smirking I let him wiggle his way closer to me. 'Not tonight. I want you right here… for now.' He sighed as he closed his eyes. I watched him as he slowly fell asleep, as I drifted off to sleep, his face lighting my minds world like the moon…

Laughter and chatter was everywhere. I could hear it outside as I looked at myself in the mirror. My princess tiara set upon my head and my veil connected to the top of my head. My white dress was tightly wrapped around my body till my waist and the silk flowed gently away from my body.

'Yasha-Bella.'

I turned to see my father and mother smiling in the door way. My mother beamed as she wiped away the tears from her face. My father held a white little box.

'We thought we'd give you your something new.' He smiled as he walked over gracefully and with one swift movement opened the box.

Inside was white gold necklace, the chain thin and beautiful with the stone inside a deep scarlet. The color my eyes used to be.

'Mom.. Dad it's….' The words hitched in my throat. I was not one to cry but boy did I want to now.

The music started my father giving me my flowers and taking my arm whispered in a broken voice. ' It's time.'

I walked out into the main room where Hermione in a scarlet dress, and Ron, in a tux walked down the isle. Then Steph and Mitch. And little Shi and an unknown boy as the ring barer and flower girl.

Then I was out the and the music changed.

There was Harry, his green eyes blazed with shock, then happiness, then bliss, then tears.

Everything went dark, now I was in a dark room, Voldemort pacing in front of me.

'I'm growing impatient Tom.' I whispered anger slithering through my calm mask of a face.

'I know! They are no where to be found! InuYasha and Harry Potter have been connected their bonds to each other a hundredfold since I tried to see in his head. But you can't see into hers either! They are too well protected by each other!' Voldemort hissed spitting in frustration.

Naraku leaned back in his chair anger filling him steadily. 'This isn't why you called me here is it Tom? To complain about your mistakes?'

Voldemort shot a glare of cold death at Naraku, who smiled twirling his fingers. 'No.' Voldemort snapped. 'I wanted you to know that there is a new prophecy.'

Naraku raise his eyebrows 'The one about Kayla and InuYasha?'

'No.'

'Explain yourself.'

'It's about Potter and InuYasha.'

Naraku leaned forward to listen intently to Voldemort. Voldemort smirked finally catching Naraku's attention.

'She's some sort of weapon. She has something that will make Harry strong then both of us could possibly imagine. A picture of Harry Potter after her purpose was given as well.' Tom Riddle flicked the picture at Naraku who flipped it over.

The boy had hair down to his neck which flicked out handsomely in different places, he had a well built strong, shirtless chest, the sword of Gryffindor in his right hand, also he had red eyes.

Red eyes.

Naraku stood up sharply and paced the length of the room.

That girl was given that colour of eyes because he marked her for death, he did not know why she had changed eye colour but he always suspected so that he could tell the one who had the power to destroy him. The power that her father never possessed.

What if she gave the boy that power? The boy who was not his problem the boy who had escaped the piece of scum that he now worked with… the scum that was holding him back.

Naraku let out a scream and his palm shot towards Voldemort's stomach. A high pitched shriek spread through the halls as Naraku pulled back his bloody hand. Out with them came four fake Shikon Shards, Naraku had been able to copy them to give limited power to his minions, the piece of dirt was no longer worthy of them.

He grabbed the snake like face under the chin. ' Be pleased that I am allowing you to keep that Demon jewel of InuYasha's.' He gripped the mans head more tightly causing the snake face to break into a moan, ' And if she come to retrieve her powers, you better damn lucky if you escape with it cause you'll be nothing but living dust without it.'

He through the human across the room who landed in front of the fireplace. Naraku turning his back on the failure stormed out to find a demon women who he could take out all his stress out on…

'Harry that looks really good!' Hermione chirped as the smell of mushrooms filled my nose.

I opened my eyes and took in the room. Inusuke still looked sick as he eyed the mushrooms. I knew why, we were meat eaters. Not vegetarians.

Ron was laying on the bed looking pissed as ever as Hermione stirred the billycan, making the room smell worse.

Harry was also in front of me with a pair of rusty scissors and a bright smile on his face.

I was sitting in a chair, huh, how long had I been awake and moving without knowing it?

'What's happening?' I asked sounding stupid.

Harry laughed as he gently dragged me to the small mirror on the wall. Showing my his handy work on my hair.

My hair was no longer un even but a sassy bobby cut that still hair a fair amount of length to it. My bangs were soft and framed my face nicely. 'Wow.' I snickered under my breath. ' I didn't know my boyfriend went to cosmology school.' Everyone gigged as Harry blushed a delicate red.

'I think you being my half-demon had something to do with it.' He shrugged as he pecked me gently. 'I think something else told me what to do.'

My smile erased. Something else. Like magic. Magic. A healer or a weapon.

Like me.

Hermione placed the mushrooms on the table as me and InuSuke choked back our gags.

Hermione looked at me angrily and snapped 'I know half-demons don't eat vegetables but if you two don't want to starve, eat!' Taking a mushroom she popped it in her mouth with obvious disgust.

Ron and Harry already had eaten three. InuSuke, grumbling to himself dragged himself off his bed and sat down, unwillingly putting a mushroom in his mouth.

Breathing through my mouth I didn't move. Honestly they were lucky I didn't throw up when InuSuke took a bite. Hermione, noticing I hadn't moved a muscle shoved my plate to Harry. Who had already finished his. ' Shove them down her throat if you have to.'

He grabbed a couple mushrooms and walked over to me. I snapped my mouth shut. I tried to get around the smell by concentrating on his. Incense burning, the forest, vanilla, the first rain in spring, the scent of the heat radiating of his body…

'Yashie, you got to eat something.' His silky voice reasoned.

Crap. Broke right through my happy place. I opened my eyes, Harry looked apologetic, Hermione looked furious, and InuSuke looked down right disgusted.

I looked at Hermione's terrifying gaze. 'If I hunt and get meat will you be mad?' InuSuke looked hopeful. It was nature for demons to hunt for their food.

Hermione's eyes narrowed 'No, I know you two can't function on what humans can.'

Smiling I nodded to InuSuke who leapt up and bolted, with inhuman speed out the tent door.

I followed, within a fraction of a second we were in the forest. My hair, when I had hunted before felt like it kept a drag with me. But now my hair just moved into a sleek style by the wind as I ran beside InuSuke.

'I guess we can't hunt bears considering the humans are eating it too.' He laughed, he sounded old all of the sudden. Like our dad.

I nodded as I raced toward a familiar scent. ' Dear will be normal enough for them to eat. We'll start off slow.'

There was the male deer. He was the largest. He would feed us the most. I took a side glance to InuSuke. He looked at the lake where the fish swam happily.

We were eating well tonight. I laughed silently at my joke as I let my demon self take shape.

I leapt forward toward the dear as buckled and took off sprinting back into the forest. Suddenly, I knew he was weak. He hate no mate, no children. He would have died alone anyway.

My perfect prey.

I caught up with it easily, wrapping my arms around it and snapping it's neck. He didn't even make it to the edge of the meadow where InuSuke was in the river throwing out all the largest salmon.

Dragging it I whistled and laid it down.

InuSuke jumped out soaking wet. He ran to the deer got on his knees and, with his teeth, ripped the skin off of the chest. His teeth locked onto the warm meat and his demon self feasted.

I understood, because suddenly I was hungry for flesh, not caring what flesh it was. Ripping off the back, InuSuke and I ate the raw parts humans could not eat.

About fifteen minutes late we had the remains of the deer, and InuSuke's fish cooking over a fire. It smelled delicious.

There was also a twitching part of me that was disgusted. Hunting was my fathers favourite game. But letting the monster take whatever you allowed it was his least favourite.

Some demons liked it though, we did not crave any specific kind of flesh only flesh itself. That was the reason a lot of demons and half-demons ate humans.

On our way back to the tent we followed the river to wash our selves off. The three in the tent did not need to see our bloody mouths.

I thought about every aspect of the demon life. Even as we sat down in the tent as the humans grabbed whatever we could from us, I thought.

Subconsciously, I made myself eat more humanlike. And went they were playing cards I made myself pretend to care that Harry was loosing by two rounds.

Finally, I thought about who and what I was when Harry was asleep in my arms. He looked so peaceful as I thought about what he wanted as well. I organized my thoughts too. Into Three categories.

First thought: Who I was.

Well that was an easy one. It didn't take nearly as long as the others, I was the new InuYasha Kurami no Tashio Higurashi. I was changed three times. By Naraku, Harry, and Dumbledore. Easy.

Second thought: What I was.

That was painful to think of. Was I a half demon or a full demon. I was a Full demon now? Okay easy to figure that out. Was I Dog or Phoenix? That was Harder to answer, and because I truly didn't know I moved on. I was to take over a queen someday for the western lands. But would I out live my father? I shuddered. I didn't want to answer that one. Okay, so if I didn't who would do that job? I knew that one. The head of the Army. InuSuke. He had a princess too. He seemed like the best choice.

My third thought? Well that was the fun one.

Should I mate Harry?

Sure I wanted to, but did I want to burden him with me? And probably, if the rules of mating applied, A child? It was an appealing thought having a daughter or son, but Harry did not know that. Would he rethink this if he knew?

Oh, me being the Princess to the western lands did not help either. Why did Sesshomaru have to not care about the western lands? Why did my father have to rule instead?

Oh yeah, sweet old daddy.

He would absolutely kill me. Then again, I have been able to beat him since I was 12.

I remembered something my mother had told me. "If you love them so much you want to mate them. Do it."

I had given her a smart -ass answer but now I thought about it seriously. Did I love Harry enough?

Yes.

My face flooded with colour. Okay, them mate him. A voice in my head taunted. I shook it off thinking clearly again.

Okay then when? I had no idea. The time would present itself. Not today. Maybe tomorrow…

I closed my eyes and rested my head on Harry's chest. Where one though repeated in y head.

Maybe tomorrow…
