A/N: So another chapter in the same day yay!

Ari gets to see Teddy in this one and there is lots of tears and growling going on in this chapter.

Disclaimer: Don't look at me I don't own anything

Ari felt giddy as she finally touched down in England, it was like the thrill you get from getting away with a lie or skipping school for the first time, she felt like dancing or jumping up and down. She grinned as she walked into the magical transportation section of Heathrow airport, she stepped into the fireplace and called out her destination.

To say Andromeda Tonks was surprised to see Ari would be an understatement, as soon as she saw who was standing in her fireplace she dropped the cup of tea from her hands and burst out in a fit of tears. She grabbed the young witch and hugged her fiercely; Ari couldn't help the few tears that escaped her either.

"I'm so sorry." Ari said.

"Don't you dare," Andy said harshly. "You leave without a trace for months and then you came back and say I'm sorry. You left Ari, you never even said goodbye to Teddy he looked for you Ari, he cried for you."

"I needed to leave Andy, I just needed to do something for myself for a change." Ari said softly. "I was sick of having to be the hero all the time."

"I know, I understand." Andy whispered hugging the upset girl again. "Go see Teddy, he's upstairs. I will contact Ron and Hermione."

Ari made her way upstairs and into to Teddy's room and smiled at the sight that greeted her. Teddy was playing with some building blocks, chatting away to himself but when he saw Ari he called out her name and attempted to walk over to her. Ari immediately picked him up and twirled him around listening to him squeal in excitement.

"Ari left?" Teddy asked when Ari stopped twirling him.

"I went on an extended holiday to a place called Japan." Ari told him.

"Pan?" Teddy asked curiously.

"Yup, Japan it's a long way from here." Ari told as she set him back down on the floor and played with his blocks.

"Ari back good?" Teddy asked handing Ari another block.

"I don't know Teddy." Ari said sadly.

"Ari happy pan?" Teddy asked quietly.

Ari contemplated in answering that question, was she happy in the feudal era? The face of the Daiyoukai she had begun to care deeply for and the little brown haired girl that accompanied him swam to the forefront of her mind. "Yeah, I'm very happy there."

"Den Ari back pan." Teddy said nodding. Ari burst into tears and pulled the little boy close, Teddy just patted her head and cooed comfortingly. He didn't know why Ari was crying after all if she was happy in this pan place the she should go back right? But he would miss her so very much.

"Oh Teddy, let's just focus on now okay?" Ari said after she had calmed down and at Teddy's 'kay' she took him downstairs where her best friends awaited her. She took a deep breath before opening the door to the living room, she was bracing herself for the arguing to come though she hoped that with Teddy present it would be kept to a dull roar.

"Arianna Lily Potter Black Gryffindor you have a lot of explaining to do." Hermione said as soon as she opened the door. Ari sighed and sat down on a chair, she got herself and Teddy comfortable and began her tale suddenly feeling like a million years had passed since the last time she saw her friends.

OoO

Back in the feudal era, about fifteen minutes after Ari had left, Inuyasha was still very confused about his encounter with Ari, in fact he wondered briefly if he had dreamt it. Shaking his head he continued his not so patient wait for Kagome to return although he had a feeling they would now be waiting until Ari returned from wherever it was in the future she had gone to. Inuyasha felt his hackles rise as his ears picked up the loud growl that could only have come from one demon, groaning Inuyasha thought back to what Ari had said before disappearing.

"If Sesshoumaru asks I wasn't here."

Damn it all to hell he just knew he in for a round of fighting with Sesshoumaru and sure enough as soon as the Daiyoukai landed Inuyasha was pressed against a tree a hand round his neck, a hand that was glowing a suspicious green.

"Where is she?" Sesshoumaru growled out his tinted in pink.

"I don't know who you're talkin' 'bout." Inuyasha ground out.

"Ari where is she? Do not think to lie to this one halfbreed I can smell her scent." Sesshoumaru sneered at Inuyasha and when he received no reply he through Inuyasha into the trees in the opposite clearing.

Sesshoumaru pulled out Tokijin and jumped out of the way of the incoming Wind Scar. Inuyasha jumped out from the trees and the two swords clashed heatedly, Inuyasha jumped back and once again used the Wind Scar. Sesshoumaru growled jumped out of the way, he fuelled his youki into Tokijin he unleashed the attack on Inuyasha who barely got out of the way in time. Sesshoumaru moved forwards fast and had Inuyasha pinned to the floor his claws glowing green as his poison dripped from them. Inuyasha however almost groaned when he smelt a familiar scent now coming from the well. Of all the times she could've returned she just had to pick now.

"Hey Inuyasha," Kagome said as she pulled herself over the top of the well. "I just had a very interesting conversation with Ari."

Kagome froze when she looked up and saw Sesshoumaru poised to do some serious damage on Inuyasha whom he had pinned to the ground. She left out a squeak and stumbled backwards when Sesshoumaru was suddenly in front of her.

"Where is she?" he snarled at the frightened human in front of him.

"Ari is...well she...I just..."

"Tell me." His voice was becoming less and less understandable the more his control lessened.

"She's down the well you bastard." Inuyasha shouted.

"Do not lie to me." Sesshoumaru said loudly.

"I'm not, Kagome and Ari both come from the future they use the well to do some weird time travel thing." Inuyasha said as Sesshoumaru walked to the well Kagome backed up what Inuyasha said. Sesshoumaru studied the well through red eyes and growled lightly, he stepped up and cautiously jumped down the well for nothing to happen. He landed at the bottom of the well and let loose an angry growl and jumped back up, he ordered Kagome to show him how it worked. After many unsuccessful tried Sesshoumaru finally gave up trying to reach Ari and resigned himself to await her return.

"I think it has something to with Ari not wanting you to go through the well," At the angry growl she received Kagome hastily reworded her sentence. "Ari knows you will be really angry at her and so she doesn't want that interfering with her time with her godson."

"She is mine." Was all Sesshoumaru said.

"What he's trying to say is that Ari disobeyed an order from the alpha of the pack. In a pack the alpha is the one on top and everyone in that pack has to do what the alpha says or face the consequences. Everyone in the pack belongs to the alpha, it's the alpha's duty to make sure his pack is cared for, he looks after them, protects them and makes sure they are happy." Inuyasha informed Kagome.

"Yes but what Sesshoumaru has to understand is that things are different in the future, for Ari especially." Kagome said and then turned to address Sesshoumaru. "Look Sesshoumaru in the future women have equal rights to men, we are not inferior and do not like to be told what to do. Being in this time means that Ari is out of her league and so fights harder to protect herself, she doesn't like the idea of someone protecting her because she doesn't want to be a burden."

"She would never be a burden to this Sesshoumaru." Sesshoumaru said not grasping the point Kagome was trying to make.

"Look at it this way, Ari was the alpha in her group. She was the one to protect and care for everyone which is why she is rebelling from you now."

"Then this one will make her to submit." Sesshoumaru growled out making Kagome want to face palm.

"Making her do anything she doesn't want to do will only make her resent and hate you and I'm pretty sure you don't want that. Look just don't give her too hard a time when she comes back, after all she was only going to see her family you can't fault her for that."

"She lied to this Sesshoumaru, if she had told the truth then I would've brought her here." Sesshoumaru said sneering at Kagome.

"Just leave it Kagome, when Ari gets back he will just get her to submit to him and things will go back to normal." Inuyasha said with a roll of his eyes.

"Well were not leaving here either." Kagome said.

OoO

"...So I jumped down the well and came back here." Ari said as she finished, Teddy had fallen asleep awhile ago and Andy had taken him upstairs whilst she continued her tale.

"It always happens to you doesn't it?" Ron said clearly amused. "Anyway we have news of our own, I asked Hermione to marry me."

"Really?" Ari asked excited. "Oh my tell me you said yes."

Hermione didn't say anything but just showed Ari her left hand and there on her ring finger stood an engagement ring. Ari hugged both Ron and Hermione crying once again, Ron retold the story of how he proposed and soon they were leaving.

"You go on ahead Ron I want to talk to Ari alone." Hermione said and upon seeing his reluctance she added "Girl talk." Ron immediately fled down the floo network.

"How serious are you about this Sesshoumaru guy?" Hermione asked getting straight to the point.

"What? I mean I guess were friends." Ari said uncertainly.

"Friends don't kiss each other as if their lives depended on it. Not to mention the fact that you couldn't keep that silly smile off your face whenever you talked about him and you blushed each time you said his name."

"He is my friend Hermione." Ari stated.

"Look I just don't want to see you get hurt. I'm going to leave now but make sure you check in with Mrs Weasley before you leave again." Hermione said as she stepped into the fire place and disappeared in a swirl of green flames.

Later that night saw Ari back in Potter Manor and now that she had time alone summoned Death to her. She watched as he appeared all in black and a depressed cloud hanging over his head Ari sighed at the display of dramatics.

"You've been ignoring me." Death pouted.

"I've been really busy and the time has flown, you're really going to enjoy the tale though." Ari began once again to recount her tale, maybe she should make it into a book then she wouldn't have to repeat herself. By the end of it Death was laughing so hard if he wasn't already dead he would have died from lack of air.

"Well you really know how to stick yourself into the thick of it don't you?" Death shook his head in mirth. "This is why I like you so much. It seems like you will have one very pissed off Daiyoukai when you return, I'm going to give you the best advice you will ever hear. Submit to him upon your return."

"What?" Ari asked.

"He's an alpha, the big boss man, the one calling the shots. It's in his nature to look for those in his pack. Look I know you don't like him saying you belong to him but it's not in the way you think it is. Demons don't act or think the way humans do, it's like they have two personalities one is the more logical and the other is more instinctual. It's Sesshoumaru's instincts that has named you part of his pack, under his care and thus you are his, also Inu demons really heavily on their instincts and so this type of behaviour is normal for him. He doesn't mean it the way you took it, he isn't saying you are an object that is to be owned he saying you are part of my pack so are my responsibility, though I think he wishes for a little bit more than being a normal member of the pack. Besides I think it's about time someone took care of you."

"I see and I will try to see things from his point of view," Ari stated. "Hey! What did you mean about him wanting me as more than a normal pack member?"

"Oh you are so innocent, you'll see when the time comes."

"So do you know what happened to me during the panther tribe event?"

"I do, the sword sensed you're desperation to protect Kagome and thus allowed to use part of its full potential. It basically told you how to use it and you being the clever girl you are listened, you know thinking on it you would have made a good inuyoukai with the way you rely on your instincts maybe that's why he chose you? Anyway back to the sword. Its more than just a normal sword as you well know but it has a lot of magical elements inside of it, I mean how many swords do you know can last thousands of years and not have a speck of rust on it. You have the ability to harness the swords true potential because it has chosen you as its successor. Godric Gryffindor was only the swords carrier not the true master of the sword."

"But the legends say..."

"Ah yes but that's because that's how Gryffindor wanted it to be. Gryffindor carried the sword after its master had died, he was never able to master the sword but it was foretold that someone from his line would be the next master of the sword."

"How come it says Godric Gryffindor on the blade then?" Ari asked.

"It's an illusion which will be broken once you master the blade." Death said with a smile.

"So how do I master it? And who was the previous master?"

"It would ruin the surprise if I told you and let's just say the previous master was a well known King." With that said Death disappeared his laughter ringing throughout the room.

OoO

It was a week later that Ari found herself before the well in the Higurashi Shrine plucking up the courage to jump over. She really didn't fancy meeting what awaited her on the other side of the well but summoning all her bravery she said a farewell to the future and jumped. She was halfway up the side of the well in the feudal era when a pale clawed hand reached down and yanked her out.

Ari found herself being pressed into the ground her hands above her head held by the hand of the Daiyoukai that was currently growling very loudly at her. Ari did what she shouldn't have done, she struggled and tried desperately to yank her hands out of his grip.

"Get off me you jerk." She shouted only to be met by a snarl as Sesshoumaru's face moved closer to her own; she noticed the red eyes and did a mental gulp, perhaps struggling wasn't the best idea she'd had.

"He wants you to submit you idiot." She heard Inuyasha shout.

"Well it would be nice if I knew how wouldn't it?" Ari shouted back.

"Well I dunno either, try baring your neck." Inuyasha advised.

Ari very slowly turned her head to the right baring her neck to the Daiyoukai above her and tried not to panic when his moved to her exposed and vulnerable throat. She jerked in surprise when she felt him bite where her shoulder met her neck a slight whimper escaped from Ari in pain even as he pulled away slightly and licked at the wound to ease the pain slightly. He removed his hand from hers and tilted her head back to face him, Ari watched as his eyes turned back to their normal gold.

"Don't ever disappear like that again." He whispered as he lowered his head and captured her lips in a desperate kiss. Ari eagerly responded opening her mouth when his tongue swept across her bottom lip, she moaned when he sucked and nibbled on her bottom lip before entering her mouth. She didn't put up a fight this and easily let him dominate the kiss only moaning when his hand moved from her chin to entangle in her hair, tilting her head slightly allowing him to deepen the kiss further. Ari wrapped her arms around his neck her own hands entangling in his soft silky hair, she teasingly massaged his scalp enticing a groan from the Daiyoukai as her tongue wrapped around his own in her mouth.

He pulled away shortly after and pressed a soft lingering kiss to her lips before burying his head in her neck breathing deeply allowing her calming scent to fill his senses.

A/N: Aww they made up isn't that sweet, how come when they kiss it's always in front of Inuyasha bless him.

So the sword of Gyffindor is something else entirely I wonder what it is? And how will Ari train with it?

Please review they really do make my day
