A/N: Wow! two chapters in one day, I am really inspired right now

I feel that the events in this chapter are a little rushed but I didn't know how else to pass the time.

Enjoy!

Kentarō Higurashi also known as Grandpa Higurashi stared at the owl in front of him wearily, the owl in question was an ordinary barn owl and was sitting on the open windowsill of the Higurashi shrine in Japan. Grandpa Higurashi tried to 'shoo' the owl away but the owl just blinked at him as if amused, Grandpa's eyes narrowed suspiciously as he reached into his sleeve and pulled out a sūtra, threw it at the owl and shouted 'demon be gone'.

"Grandpa what are you doing to that poor owl?" A young girl asked as she entered the room.

"Ah Kagome I see you've returned," Grandpa muttered distractedly. Kagome slowly approached the bird whilst her Grandpa watched on horrified. "No Kagome don't go near it, that's no ordinary owl."

"Just because it acts strangely doesn't mean it's a demon Grandpa." Kagome said as she tried to get the bird to hop onto her shoulder, the bird hooted in response to her actions and only stuck out its leg. "Hey look there is something attached to it."

Kagome pulled the letter attached to the owl off its leg carefully and unrolled the parchment paper scanning its content she held it out to Grandpa.

"It's addressed to you from a Lady Arianna Potter, it's also in English"

"Don't know her; she could be a demon trying to trick me." He said glancing around as if Arianna would suddenly pop out of the wall. "Read the letter out to me Kagome I seem to have misplaced my glasses."

"Alright," Kagome said.

"Dear Mr Kentarō Higurashi,

My name is Arianna Lily Potter and I am the granddaughter of Emily Evans whom I believe was your adopted sister..."

"Emily? Little Emi? I haven't seen her in a very long time." Grandpa said softly as his eyes took on a wistful look as if remembering the past.

"Grandpa stop interrupting." Kagome said annoyed. "Anyway where was I, oh here we are...

"I am not too sure if you know what happened to her when she returned to England so I will tell you. She fell in love with a man, Jack Evans they eventually got married and had two daughters called Petunia and Lily. I am the daughter of Lily whom married Lord James Potter, who are both now deceased. I do not know if you knew this but my Emily and Jack also died before I was born. As this happened before I was born I am unsure about the details and my aunt and I aren't on speaking terms so I am unable to ask her. I am writing to ask is it would be alright to come and visit you as I am keen to meet my adopted family not to mention that Japanese culture just fascinates me. If you would like me to visit please send an appropriate date with Shadow (the owl which you received this letter from). Oh and in case you were wondering I can speak Japanese, I just can't write it so I apologise for this letter being in English

With kind regards

Lady Arianna Potter

Lady of the houses of Potter, Black and Gryffindor"

"I want you to send a reply back and tell Lady Potter that she is most welcome to visit here and that she may come on the 23rd of October and may stay as long as she likes." Grandpa said with hint of sadness to his voice as he walked away to go tell Kagome's mother of their new guest.

"Okay so how do I attach the reply to the owl? Anybody going to tell me or do I have to figure that out on my own?" Kagome said the empty room listening to the hoot of the owl which seemed to say 'crazy human people'.

OoO

Arianna was in the waiting lounge of Heathrow Airport preparing for the eleven hour flight trip ahead of her. Hermione and Ron sat opposite her, the latter of the two staring in wonder at the muggle invention that was the airplane.

"Are you sure about this?" Hermione asked.

"It's not like I'm going to be gone forever Hermione. I just want to meet some of my family, besides I want to explore the world now that I don't have the threat of the dark lord over my head." Arianna said annoyed, she had explained this to them continuously and it was getting on her nerves.

"I know that, I'm just worried about being so far away. What about the remaining Death Eaters?" This remark only made Arianna sigh and roll her eyes.

"I will cross that bridge if and when it comes and not a moment before," Arianna said disgruntled. "Besides how will they know I'm in Japan? The only people I've told are those I trust."

"I'm just worried about you is all, I know you, and you can be very reckless especially when those closest to you are involved." Hermione glared at Arianna before standing and going over to the Costa coffee shop.

"Ignore her mate, you know how she gets." Ron said smiling at Arianna. "Besides you're the one that's leaving I have to remain behind and listen to her talk about how reckless you're being."

Arianna laughed along with Ron and were still laughing even when Hermione returned with three iced mochas. Hermione just smiled at her friend and boyfriend, shaking her head she handed them their drinks and sat down again. All three friends started a conversation in which there would be no arguments.

"Flight 256 to Tokyo is now boarding first class. Flight 256 to Tokyo."

Arianna approached the lady on the service desk and handed her the boarding pass and passport. Arianna turned to her friends hugged them and wished them goodbye; she walked down the walkway and into the plane where she was greeted by the hostess.

"Good morning Lady Potter, may help you find your seat?" The hostess smiled and took Arianna to her seat.

Arianna sat down and looked out the window, sighing she pulled out her IPod from her pocket and putting the earphones in she pressed play and her ears were filled with the sounds. She scrolled through her songs looking for another song to listen to, she decided on 'Once Upon A December' from the film Anastasia. She allowed her eyes to close as she mouthed the words to the song, she thought back to her decision to come to Japan. Whilst she was happy she would get to some of her family she was ecstatic that she would be escaping the magical world for awhile, she needed a break from being the girl-who-lived. Maybe she would like Japan so much she would stay, Arianna laughed at Hermione's reaction to hearing that, Hermione would go all the way to Japan and drag her back. Arianna slowly relaxed as the plane took off and levelled out in the sky, her last thought before she fell asleep was goodbye England, hello future.

OoO

After collecting her luggage at Tokyo International Airport she made her way to the pickup spot where she had agreed to meet Mrs Higurashi. She removed her earphones and put her IPod away, scanning the crowd before her she noticed a sign with her name on it being held up by a young girl and made her way towards it. Mrs Higurashi noticed the English first.

"Konnichiwa, you must be Potter-sama," Mrs Higurashi smiled at Arianna's shy nod. "My name is Higurashi Kimiko but please call me Kimiko. These are my children Souta and Kagome."

"Thank you for having me, please call me Ari all my friends call me that. Oh and you don't need to add the honorific, it's not something I'm used to." Arianna said politely bowing.

"So Ari, what's England like? I want to go someday." Souta asked impatiently.

"Souta let the Ari get settled in before you bombard her with questions. Honestly we haven't even left the airport yet." Kagome said as Souta apologised.

They all got into the family car and drove to the Higurashi Shrine, Arianna was taking in all the sights around her and Kagome offered to take her to all the places she wanted to visit in Tokyo. Once they got to the shrine, Kimiko parked the car in the garage and Kagome led her into the living room.

"Just be thankful you didn't have to walk up all those steps." Kagome laughed as Arianna grimaced at the thought of all the steps that would await her every day.

"Grandpa, this is Potter Arianna, Ari this is my Grandpa Kentarō." Kagome said with a grin and motioned towards her Grandpa who sat on a chair in the middle of the room.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr Higurashi." Arianna said with a bow.

"There is no need to bow, my dear, and call me Grandpa everyone else does." Grandpa grinned at the nervous girl before him.

"Then you must call me Ari, Grandpa." Arianna smiled hesitantly.

"You look like my sister, she had eyes as green as yours. Emily was such a good girl but she always longed to go back to the place she was born."

"My mother had the same eye colour too; I'm always told I look like my father." Arianna glanced out the open window only to see a fast moving red object heading towards it. Arianna frowned and with a small twist in her wrist her wand was out and she had shot of a stunning spell as the red object landed inside the window. The stunner hit the object which fell to the floor with a thud.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted rushing over to the object on the floor which could now be identified as a teenage looking boy.

"You know him?" Arianna asked utterly confused.

"Yes, he's a friend, what did you do to him? What are you?" Kagome asked her terrified eyes boring into Arianna's.

"Let me just reverse the spell and then I will tell you everything." Arianna sighed, she had hoped to avoid this particular discussion until later but she had let the 'cat out the bag' on this one, with a finite incantatem and a flick of the wrist Inuyasha was up and yelling.

"What the hell was that and what the fuck are you?" He shouted.

"Sit down and stop shouting and I might tell you." Arianna replied calmly. "My name is Potter Arianna but you may call me Ari."

"I don't give a damn what your name is wench." Inuyasha grumbled sitting down.

"Inuyasha, be polite she is a Lady." Kagome insisted.

"Well to put it simply I am a witch, but my story is so much more than that. My story starts before my birth; it was very dark times in the Wizarding World. The Dark Lord Voldemort had risen to power and he gathered a strong mass of dark wizards behind, he was very good at that bringing people over to his side. He killed all those who opposed him magical and non-magical, women, men and children, anyone. Then a prophecy was made which went like this The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies... When I was born Voldemort chose me, fulfilling the prophecy when he tried to kill me when I was a baby. My parents died that night they tried to save me but my mother's sacrifice and her love for me allowed me to survive that night. That night I became the girl-who-lived because I did the impossible and survived the killing curse. I was sent to live with my aunt who had no magic and grew up not knowing about magic at all. My aunt and uncle were determined to keep me in the dark about it; they hated everything abnormal and well I pretty much the goddess of abnormal..." Arianna went on to tell them about Hogwarts, the return of the Dark Lord and the final battle and all about the Wizarding World.

"...When I found out about you guys I wanted to meet you but it was also an excuse to leave for awhile, I want to leave the girl-who-lived for now."

"Well, you are always welcome here." Kimiko said softly with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you that means so much to me. Oh and Inuyasha I'm sorry for using that spell on you I didn't mean it nastily, it was just a reflex." Arianna said looking at the golden eyed boy.

"Don't worry 'bout it." He said quietly.

"Well I told you what I am; it's only fair that you do the same. I mean the doggy ears are kind of a giveaway that you're not human." Arianna said motioning towards Inuyasha with her hand.

Kagome and Inuyasha shared a look and began to tell Arianna about the well, the shikon-no-tama, Naraku, the Inutaichi and Kagome's priestess powers. They were currently taking a well deserved break due to Arianna's arrival but Kagome would return tomorrow and they would once again journey around feudal Japan looking for jewel shards and a way to defeat Naraku.

"Awful things happen to those who meddle with time," Arianna started hesitantly. "So it's only fair that I come with you to even the odds a little. I mean I've taken down one crazy guy what's another to me?"

"But I thought you wanted a break from all that." Kagome said looking confused.

"I want a break from being famous in a prejudice world. Feudal Japan in uncharted territory to me, and I'm a Gryffindor, we're curious, foolish and brave by nature. Besides I'm not going to let a part of my family go somewhere dangerous when I could help."

"Leave it Kagome," Inuyasha intercepted quickly as Kagome opened her mouth to protest. "We need all the help we can get at the moment and a witch as powerful as Ari will be a valuable asset."

"Wow Inuyasha that actually sounded smart." Kagome looked so shocked that Arianna burst into a fit of uncontrollable giggles.

"Hey wench! What's that supposed to mean." Inuyasha looked so insulted that Arianna almost forgot to breathe amidst her giggles.

So did you feel it was rushed? I did
