Chapter 21

Iris

Kagome stood up and shouted, 'Midoriko!'

Midoriko paid no attention to Kagome but moved towards Harry and touched his lighting bolt scar.

' You are the Third demon of Phoenix, The Third owner of Shikon Mate, The first man who could sense the Shikon no' Tama…'

She walked into the center of the Great Hall and past the doors. Harry looked at Kagome as she got up and followed her, Harry did. And behind him he saw every single person follow him.

Midoriko stopped in the middle of the courtyard and spoke in a normal tone, but it rung out through the castle. ' Clear the stairs.'

Everybody who was on the stairs ran to fan out against the walls of the courtyard. Midoriko turned around looking at Harry again.

'… You are also the third to destroy Naraku. He is not dead, your children are meant for that…'

Harry shook his head. 'I won't have children. My mate died.'

Midoriko nodded. ' I know, she was the Prime Shikon Holder. The only one worthy of it.'

She walked to Harry again. ' You are also the one who broke the cycle a third time. The First was Kikyo dying before her lover did. The second was Kagome marrying her mate. Tonight was that you did not trying and die to move on with InuYasha, you died for the world. And that is why I saved you from death.'

Harry's eyes grew big. 'You saved me?'

'Oh yes.' Midoriko smiled a glowing smile. 'Right before Voldemort tried to kill you I separated Voldemort's piece of soul away from yours. Though Harry, many people have ask you for many favours. I must ask you for one more.'

Harry rolled his eyes. 'You wouldn't be the first one.'

Midoriko's musical laugh gave Harry chills. 'No I suppose your right,' Her face got apologetic. ' You must be the third person to wish on the jewel. If you are of the right, it will purify and set all my Shikon's, including InuYasha's, soul free.'

Harry looked at her with a question dancing in his eyes. She understood. ' Yes, I can revive her. But it will take all my energy because of her being my Shikon Holder and your wish. But I can tell you, as something as selfish as reviving a loved one just so you can have them back will not be the right wish.'

Harry nodded and a tiny smile pulled on his face. 'Plus InuYasha would kick my ass for wasting it on her and our baby. Okay,' He knew what he had to wish. He had been the cause of a lot of loss today, and this was is shot to correct it, if he couldn't feel the joy of his loved one return he would happily give it to the others. ' I wish that everyone on the Resistance who died would come back to life.'

Midoriko's armour broke and she smiled. 'You were correct Harry Potter. The wish is not important. It's the reasons why you wished it. Not out of duty, or greed like Kikyo and Kagome. You wished upon empathy and generosity!'

The small jewel around Midoriko's neck shattered and a blast came from it.

A hundred lights like stars drifted down to the earth and as soon as they touched the ground they shattered and faded into a person. Lupin and Tonks gripped each other, while Fred Weasley ran to his family and surrounded himself with hugs, and Lavender Brown walked over to her best friend and cried in her arms.

A hundred other people ran into the arms of their love ones as the sun burst over the trees shinning light on Harry's sad smile.

Midoriko beamed at Harry, and Fred stepped forward.

'Someone up there told me to tell you this mate.' Fred smiled. ' Though I'm going to look like a prat saying it.'

Everyone laughed.

Fred sighed. ' And I'd give up forever to touch you, cause I know that you feel me somehow.'

Everyone laughed again, except Hermione who smiled and stood up and stood beside Fred and whispered ' You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be.'

Kayla stood up, she looked so much like InuYasha his heart ached. ' And I don't want to go home right now.'

Everyone started humming "Iris" together, InuYasha's last gift to Harry, he smiled at the sun, in silent thank you.

'What will you do now that your free?'

Harry's lips moved without his permission and he wondered if Midoriko would be upset.. Or mad. But she beamed at him.

'I think I'll rest. I've been fighting those demons for centuries' She looked thoughtfully at the doors of Hogwarts, Harry did not look at what he stared at. 'Heaven seems like a good place to rest, besides…' She giggled. 'I can take the place of someone with unfinished business.'

Someone behind him spoke, a voice with folds of velvet. A voice of a symphony in all respects. Everyone in the courtyard fell silent. 'Heaven is a very good place to rest Miko. You'll like it.'

Harry heard the whoosh of flames as his phoenix wings burst into existence, loosing control at the sound of her voice.

She nodded and glowed with a golden light. It shined brighter then even before. 'Goodbye Harry Potter, Thank you.' When it faded, Midoriko was gone.

Harry stared at the sun making the morning turn pink, he was listening to familiar foot steps. Ones that could not be real. The breathing that had stopped along with a heart the belonged to his world.

There was a moment of silence, no one spoke. But after that moment warm arms hugged his chest from behind.

Harry leaned back into these arms turning slowly to face his angel.

InuYasha smiled up at him.

She was wearing her white outfit, with real angel wings on her back, more beautiful then his red wings. They glistened white in the morning sun. Her t-shirt stretched out for her medium bump.

Her eyes were black and her hair a thick white. Tears rolling down her face. Her lips parted in speech.

'Hi Harry.'

A smile etched upon Harry's face warm and true as he cradled her face in his hand. 'Hey InuYasha.'

They kissed gently at first careful not to break each other, but as soon as InuYasha wrapped her arms around his neck his heart soared and begged for entrance into her mouth. It didn't matter to him that there was hundred's of people watching them. In his hand InuYasha's Elder wand glowed, and sparks flew out and suddenly blasting their song.

I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am

Though the song ended for everyone else it did not for InuYasha and Harry, the memories in their minds were flowing being corrected as they flew by:

InuYasha after she got poisoned along with Katie Bell, dancing alone in the Hospital Wing.

"I smiled looking back at his wonderfully un-ugly beautiful face 'I'll go to Slughorn's party with you'

Harry smiled, and momentarily closed his eyes putting his nose to mine. I felt his lips quiver being centimetres from mine. Wondering what would happen if I removed the space, and if he accepted that, what would happen…

A metal picture came to me, the fact that if I let him even kiss me he could, would die. His lips moved the smallest way towards mine and just as he was about to removed the space…"

This time InuYasha did not say walk away but kissed Harry first his heart glowing with happiness that his crush accepted him.

Harry And InuYasha in The Unknowable Room.

"I pressed against him with no room to spare, his arms locking arms on my waist and back. Blushing I pulled my face away from the side of his head. His eyes were closed, ' what's wrong?' going forehead to forehead.

He smiled, but gently, as if he found it ironic ' I feel like I couldn't wake up tomorrow, I know it sounds stupid. Considering I'm saying it to the greatest fighter of all time.' He chuckled at himself.

I closed my eyes, he thought he was stupid. I opened my eyes again, he was struggling to say something. 'InuYasha…'"

Instead of her pushing him away he told her he loved her, and gave his heart to her. Which she accepted and was grateful.

And Finally King Cross.

"Harry smiled and turned to leave. I didn't move, half hoping he would leave without noticing.

He got ten steps before he did.

He turned to me with a surprised look holding his hand out form mine. 'Aren't you coming InuYasha? We've got a battle to finish.'"

She held out her hand and smiled, and they walked back to the land of the living to be happy.

As they kissed Feathers from her angel wings and his phoenix wings fell off scattering to the wind, soon they and no wings and human InuYasha and demon Harry stood there, their heads spinning.

When their kiss finally broke he went nose to nose with her a tear of sheer joy. 'How?' He whispered it filled with love and joy.

InuYasha smiled. 'You made the right wish and released my soul from Midoriko. And she gave me her life force.'

Harry smiled and heard a slight whirling sound coming from above. They put their ands out and Harry tucked away one of his items quickly while InuYasha examined hers.

In her palm was her original demon stone, it was it's original red but at the touch of her skin it glowed bright gold. She had chanced since it's owner touched it.

In his was his phoenix wand sealed and unbroken.

The item in his leather pants pocket was his mother's engagement ring.

'Well aren't you going to smash it to get your half-demon powers back?' Harry asked rubbing her cheek not realizing everybody got bored and moved to the Great Hall, they were alone in the court yard.

'We have to go to the Great Hall.' She explained. 'You need to be in the main point of magic for it to work.'

He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and set off. Half way up the stairs he remembered something.

'Whoa! Stop!' Harry pulled her to a freeze.

'What? What's wrong?' she said looking around in a panic.

Harry laughed and picked her up and dropped her on the step above him. ' I've wanted to do this since I figured it out.'

Harry dropped down to his knees and kissed InuYasha and Harry's baby through her skin. 'You kid are super lucky. You got close to some dangerous stuff already and if you do that when your out of there you're going to see how dangerous your parents can be.'

InuYasha:

I laughed relieved. I wanted to be as close to Harry as possible but his touching our baby through my skin was something special.

But I so badly wanted to know what was with the gold in my jewel.

'So are we going to get to the great Hall or what? I bet Fred and George are ripping this place to shreds.'

Harry sighed but nodded getting my reason as we walked into the Great Hall.

Somebody had put the tables back in, but no one was sitting in houses. They were all fumbled together student, parent, ghost, and goblin all together at last.

I raised my jewel over my head and everyone fell silent as I walked into the middle of the circle and smashed my jewel on the ground.

Well, I didn't burst into flame like my Phoenix Demon Transformation did. It as more of a breath, as gold swirls circled around me. As I glowed gold.

I looked at Harry and smiled as I glowed a bright gold, then closed my eyes again as I felt myself transform into how I was supposed to look, how I was born to look.

After it was over I looked at the first thing reflective. Water on the ground and gasped.

'Daddy!' I gasped as he jumped in front of me.

I never understood why I had black eyes till now. My mothers was green and my fathers was gold, so it was always off. I realized now that it was the colouring of Midoriko. And once that was removed I saw my eyes for the first time.

I looked at Harry my gold eyes burning with happiness.

He stroked my cheek beaming. ' Their just like I dreamed they would be.'

He kissed me quickly and I whispered 'everything's so perfect.'
