Chapter 10
Fly, Yashie, Fly
'Papa!' I ran towards the sound of swears and broken cries of pain. My dad had seen us, and he knew what was going to happen, what his little girl agreed to.
My mother popped out of nowhere, grabbing my arms in front of me looking at me square in the eyes with warning on her face. ' Don't. He wants to be alone.'
I tried to shake her off all my energy sucking away with the shaking and tears that spilled over my eye lids. 'I-I- I have to go find him.' I sobbed trying to get out of my mothers arms. She pulled me to her chest letting me cry like a little girl.
'What were you thinking Yashie?' My mother asked looking at my pained face of hearing my father wail like that, knowing I caused it.
My mother groped my neck, I knew what she was looking for. She stopped at a point. Her breathing turned questioning.
'My darling? What's that?' my mother whispered shocked at some unsaid thing, I froze, scared of what she found.. She pushed me away and out of her kimono pulled out a digital camera. There was a snap and she showed me the back of my neck.
'That's impossible.'
It was glowing. Quite literally glowing. A blue cut, in the shape of a crescent moon and three four little stars. What was that?
'Let me see.' came the snuffled voice of my father. I held up my longish hair for him to see properly.
'That's impossible.' He whispered in awe.
'That's what I said!' I shrieked. It scared my to death. Suddenly there was a shout. From the house that belonged to Harry. My father was suddenly grasping nothing as I shot through the forest like a comet speeding towards a planet.
When I blasted into the house looking at Harry looking into a mirror and saw into another mirror which showed the back of his head. He had the exact same thing as me, only his was gold.
My father ran in behind be holding a old book that I recognized from the old Shikon no' Tama shrine.
My mother came in with a bunch of clothing in my completely endless bag, for we were leaving tomorrow.
My dad flipped through the pages looking for the sign that matched up with the one on my neck. My father stopped at a page. He put his elbow on the table and put his forehead in his palm, curling his long fingers around he head. 'Please… please tell me your not pregnant.'
I laughed, 'I'm a virgin.' Everyone laughed while Harry looked uneasy.
'Yashie… Kiyoto.'
I shrugged. ' You saved me from actually being raped. You walked close enough that he lost control his soul collectors, fearing you he took off.'
Everything was silence. Oops. I guess I never told them about that part of the journey.
'Kiyoto… rape…Yashie?' These word weren't supposed to be a sentence, just something out loud so my father and mother could understand my, and Harry's words.
'But he never actually.' My mother said strained. I saw tears welling up as she heard the words no mother could ever stand hearing.
'No.' I shook my head once at her. ' Harry found me just in time.'
My mother walked over and curled her arms around me leaning her head on my shoulder, trying to stop the tears from flowing.
My father went upstairs and grabbed Tetseiga. ' Dad! No!' I cried. I hated Kiyoto. I didn't want my father to kill him though.
'This isn't for me.' My father said blankly pulling out two daggers that Totosai had made for my mother when she mated my father. He trusted the daggers at InuSuke. He was not good with sword play, but he was amazing with those two daggers.
'This..' He shifted so Tetseiga laid in both his hands, out towards me. 'is for you.'
I shot up to his face. 'dad, I could never-'
'Yes you can, I don't need it. It will protect you.' He attached the hilt to my waist and tightened the straps. For some reason I felt like I was home.
Suddenly my niece. InuSuke's daughter came running in. She saw me and cried 'Aunty Yathie!'
I rolled my eyes, she still couldn't pronounce her "s". 'Hey there Akari!' I picked up the 6 month year old. Like I said before, kids who have demon blood were very, very smart.
She snuggled into my arms and I held her like a newborn. Rocking her automatically I looked down at the little Yasha girl in my arms. I looked over at Harry, he was fight a smile.
Suddenly I had a mental picture of holding a real newborn. Only a few minutes or hours old. Harry's child.
Gah! I mentally shook. I never wanted kids, and not for 200 years had I ever considered it. Why now? Because I actually had the opportunity?
'Father, what could that mark mean if I'm not… not…' I couldn't for out the word.
'It's either the perfect soul mates. Or there is something about your two's souls that are connected in a dark way.'
Harry struggled with sleeping that night, he tossed and turned and shouted, and whimpered something like 'not them. Please not them.'
I sat there debating, again. Mate or not to mate? Children or no children?
Then again you could still mate and not have children. My parents were proof of that. Maybe, hmmm… Maybe I was like my mother after InuSuke. Un-fertile.
A twinge of sadness hit the pit of my stomach. I didn't know why that was. Did I want something in me for 8- 10 months? Depending on how demonic it is. Did I really want to go through the pain my mother screamed about? I remembered InuSuke's birth. Gross. Did I want to let something feed from me?
I thought about those three things. Okay maybe holding the baby wasn't that bad. Weird considering there's a person inside you, but not bad. The other two were another thing though. Okay the feeding thing wasn't so bad. Suck up the embarrassing part, the thing would come out of me anyway. I shuttered. That would be the part I was scared about.
Okay, so visualize it Yashie. I thought against my own core will.
I visualized me, round with Harry's child. That wasn't so bad. I mean come on? Lots of women find that their favourite part.
I thought of Kayla. Last time she was in the news paper it had been announced that she was pregnant and mated to Draco Malfoy.
Not going to lie, I did throw up in my mouth as I thought about that.
That had been Seven months ago, considering the newspaper was right after we both left Hogwarts. The end of June, to the Beginning of January. She could have the kid any day now, if it's part demon.
Something hit me then. I was the last Yasha to have a child.
InuSuke's daughter snuggled up to me. Okay, I want kids. I admitted to myself with a roll of my eyes. Warmth flooding through my body.
That's when I realized though Harry was young I wanted them soon.
That's when my cell phone buzzed.
Kiki:
'Ugh. I'm huge!' Kayla whimpered. Though she smiled a little. That was something InuYasha would say, with her tongue sticking out.
It felt odd to smile. Looked weird too. Kayla angled herself to try to make her stomach look as small as possible. It was no use. Draco was out with the Dark Lord and here she was laying in the hospital bed, getting ready for a stupid C-section. The kid was stupid breach.
That time she laughed, reminding herself again of Yashie. She missed her sister, she wished she could have been here.
'If you have kids and I'm not there Kiki I'm never talking to you again.' Well that was Ironic, Kayla couldn't talk to her anyway.
But no one was here with her, and everyone seemed to be to busy, and it was agony not to see her sister, the white light. Kiki's little angry angel.
She picked up the little silver phone, deciding what to do. InuYasha could disguise herself. So she wouldn't get caught, no one would have to know.
She press 2 on her phone and the speed dial called.
Yashie:
Brown curly hair flying behind me I ran to room 302. Giving the name Malfoy, I was excited. Not about the baby. But having my sister with me, my real sister.
Kayla came into view then. As I, disguised stared at my dark hair demon. We stared at each other for a long time, Until Kayla, who was skinny, ran towards me with her arms open.
'Yasha-Bella!' She cried wrapping around my waist.
'Kiki- Twinkle!' I replied without thinking. She was here, I had heard her beautiful voice.
'I missed you!' I cried pulling away to see her face, her mating mark sparkled and he face was pale but it was her, really, truly her.
'So, where's the little monster?' I asked keeping her hand in mine.
She smiled, pointing across the glass to a little girl with blond hair. She was defiantly Kayla's daughter. Beautiful. But… Draco…. Again a little throw up, was there too in her blue eyes and her blonde hair. Under the name plate read Kira Yasha Malfoy.
'Yasha?' I whispered, questioning. Kayla smiled.
'No matter what happens sister, I thought there had to be a little piece of the Yasha clan in there.'
And with that we took off to a reconnecting conversation.
''''''''''''''*''''''''''''''
A few days later my mood did not decrease. Sure I was freezing my ass off every night in the tent, and Hermione had gone into depression about Ron. Sure, InuSuke left to take care of his wife and daughter. But even though we were enemies again. I had talked with my Kiki.
I woke up in Harry's bed alone. I smelled something warm, with something sweet. I rolled over on my back, looking up at the ceiling before I hopped down to see Harry and Hermione standing beside a small cake beaming. ' Happy 18th Birthday Yashie!' Hermione cried as Harry ran over to kiss me. Wow, I was really 201 years old.
We spent the day off. We were finding it difficult to get back into the Horcrux talk after so many days of peace, we Apperated close to London, setting up for the night there.
As a gift Hermione had sneaked into a laundry mat and washed all my clothes and sheets. She had no idea how happy I was for that.
It was a starry night out. I sat on a cliff top looking down at the beautiful city.
'Do you miss it?' Harry asked as he sat down beside me.
'Miss what?' I asked with a smile on my face, I felt so good tonight.
He touched my smile then kissed it quickly. ' All of it, the hectic pace of your life before me. Working out government issues and attending scandalous parties.'
I nodded. ' That was who I was back then. It's not so much as I miss my old life. It's that my old self is far away. The angry one, the one who wanted to just be left alone to live and then to die. The one who didn't love anyone.'
Harry's face crumpled. ' And now?'
I smiled at his and pushed him down on his back. The city lights sparkled in his midnight black hair. Curling up beside him I whispered, as if it was a secret, even to be kept from the pretty lights. ' You love almost everyone you know, it's rubbed off on me. I love everyone.'
He smiled wrapping his arms around my waist. ' Yashie, You're right about the mating thing, I'm sorry I pushed it so hard. It's not the right time. I know that.'
'But I agree with you know. I want to have you every way possible. We shouldn't have to wait for the right time. The right time's forever.'
'Is it true that mates after their first time get pregnant?' Harry asked. ' Your mom told me.'
I nodded. ' A lot don't though, some genetic thing that makes demons slowly wear out. Some ancient lines have stopped already.'
Harry sat up scratching the back of his head laughing. 'Well we don't have to worry about that now. I want to give you your birthday present.'
He ran over and grabbed his broom stick, swinging over his leg. I smile. He was taking me for a ride.
I swung my leg over and grabbed onto his waist, it felt natural, like breathing.
We shot through the air. The starry night flew closer to us as we tried to meet it through the middle.
'Hide us!' I whispered to the pearl. Harry smiled at me, now we were invisible to everyone else.
'Fly, my Yashie, Fly.'
He shot down, I close my eyes with a scream. 'Don't close your eyes!' Harry said in a sing song voice.
He were suddenly close to water. I leaned down and touched the rippling water as we soared under the Tower Bridge.
The light's of the city was nothing compared to the light's in Harry's eyes.
'''''''''''''''''''''*''''''''''''''''''''''''
Harry held onto the broom with one hand, and the other around my waist as we dangled from the broom. It let us down slowly as our feet hit the ground gently. 'I love you.' Harry whispered.
'As I love you.'
Together we walked back into the tent where we could expect a grumpy Hermione.
Off in the distance, at Hogwarts, not so happy times were upon the two people Harry and I fought.
'No! NO!' Voldemort screamed as he closed then white marble again. 'It's not there! It's not there!'
Voldemort looked visibly shaken from where I stood. 'Trying to stop another prophecy again Tom?' Naraku whispered. Voldemort's face flooded with anger
'The prophecy was given today and it affects you as much as me!'
Naraku nodded, more interested then he let on. ' What is the new prophecy.'
'Very soon InuYasha Kurami no' Tashio Higurashi will be with child Naraku. If it's a girl she'll die if it's a boy it will be the construction of the ultimate family that will bring us down!'
Naraku's head lifted. ' so the three opinions. Kill her before she mates, kill her and the child. Or…' Naraku smiled. ' If it's a girl… well we might just make a new friend.'
Voldemort looked at him confused. ' Why do you say that?'
Naraku traced the lines of the hands on the old man in the casket. ' Only evil demons kill their own mothers. And those demons learn quickly. She'll kill Harry Potter and bring us Dumbledore's wand.'
'How will she do that?'
Naraku smiled. ' InuYasha Kurami no' Tashio Higurashi has Dumbledore's wand. She is the new owner.'
I sat up straight. I had fallen asleep against the tent. Harry's wand had snapped, we were unable to fix it. And Hermione was exhausted by guarding all day.
'INUYASHA!' Yelled Harry. Oh crap, he had seen that too.
I walked into the tent slowly. Harry was pacing the ground looking like he was in pain and exhausted. He looked quite demented.
'You have Dumbledore's wand.'
I nodded once.
'Meaning you've been using his wand for what Seven months?' Harry snapped.
'Half of the time yes.'
'Yet you never told me?'
'I didn't think it was necessary.'
He glared at me the red in his eyes making the green demonic. ' Oh yes. You having the strongest wizards wand and using it is not necessary silly me for thinking so.'
I rolled my eyes. ' Yes, you are quite silly for thinking that.'
'IT WAS SARCASUM!'
I nodded. 'I know that. But, if it helps I have something for you.' I pulled out my phoenix wand. It was from Fawks too. Though it was a little longer then Harry's. 'I'll use this one. You use mine. It should work fine.'
He took my wand and sparks flew out of the end. I knew it would work for him just a well as his worked. He gave me a look that indicated that he was trying, but failing to stay mad at me.
I ran over and hugged him. 'Let's go to bed. I'll be able to smell any of our enemies. '
