AN: revised fall 2013

It was a bright, unusually warm day in early spring and the occupants of the Western Palace were determined to take advantage of that fact. The servants had opened up various windows in an effort to air out the massive, ancient fortifications. The gardeners were seen flitting throughout the various gardens; both those designed for pure function, such as the vegetable and herb plots, and those laid out with an eye toward relaxation and enjoyment, like the water gardens and the meditation corner. The only garden that saw no sign of the hired help was the private, enclosed garden just off of the lord's chambers that the lords Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had gifted to their new mate. Shortly after his arrival to the two lords' ancestral home, Harry had informed them that he enjoyed gardening, as he found it to be extremely relaxing, at which point the two doting mates had arranged for the partner of their new triad to be the one solely in charge of the bit of greenery just outside of their suite.

Currently, said lords were also taking advantage of the fine day to escape the castle and relax in the private garden. Sesshomaru could be found sitting at a small table, paper work from his numerous businesses spread out over the surface and held down by the various small and priceless works of art that the demon lord preferred to use as paperweights. Knowing that there was no one to see him that would be shocked or scandalized by his behavior, Sesshomaru released a tiny sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose. Letting his head loll back as his hand fell away from his face, he then tilted his head slightly off to the side. Sesshomaru felt his stress and minor irritation from dealing with idiots fall away as he beheld the corner of the garden his eyes lit upon.

Inuyasha and Harry had spread out a woven, alpaca fur throw under one of the many cherry trees that could be found though out the garden and were closely supervising the newest additions to the Inu clan. Inuyasha had been delivered of their pups just a week ago and had gifted his Alpha with three pups: two identical girls with their bearers ears and the raven-wing hair of his human form along with a boy that had Sesshomaru's own crescent moon marking faintly gleaming on his brow and the matching coloration of his sire. The three pups were strong and healthy, just like the previous litters Inuyasha birthed and would be introduced to the court and the rest of their siblings during the naming ceremony that would be held once the pups were one moon phase old. Just as Inuyasha was governed by the moon, so too were his pups it turned out. There was no difference for if the pups were full-demon or three-quarters demon blooded, they were all born as pups and stayed like that for the first 28 days.

Watching his mates laughing together as they gently played with the tiny pups, Sesshomaru could feel arousal gently beginning to rise in him. He was unable to help himself in that regard. The three little ones that he had sired upon Inuyasha and the ripe swell of Harry's body, who was due to give birth at any time, was proof to his virility and his mates fertility. And the acts that caused such proof were infinitely pleasurable. His Betas, obviously sensing something along their mate bond, shot matching smirks over at him before turning their attention back to the pups as they squirmed and whimpered in a puppy pile.

Chuckling quietly to himself, Sesshomaru allowed his mind to wander back in his memories.

~~~~~Flashback~~~~~

It had ended up taking the majority of the day to get through Harry's story. There had been a few short breaks, the first being when Sesshomaru, realizing that Harry's tale was going to be rather a long one, ordered a drink cart. They had then taken a short break for lunch, eaten in the solarium again, before resettling themselves back in the library. Harry only finished telling his life's story just after the three of them had finished supper and were once again settled around the crackling fire in their over-sized chairs. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were amazed and looked at their new mate in wonder as he sipped at the cup of hot chocolate he had requested. The two demons had been excellent listeners and only interrupted when truly shocked by the information Harry had given them.

"I really hate to ask this of you," Harry said as he lowered his cup.

"Please," Sesshomaru interjected. "Ask us for whatever it is you can think of. If it is within our power to give you, it shall be done."

"Oh, it's not like that. It's just that it involves me doing something I never wanted to do after coming of age," Harry said with a grimace. "I have to go back to the Dursley's house because I really need to get all of my things."

"That will not be a problem," Sesshomaru said as he rose from his seat. "If you will wait here for just a moment, I will go and retrieve the items we brought out of that place."

Harry gave the departing demon lord a confused look before turning his attention to Inuyasha. Inuyasha, correctly interpreting the wordless question, spoke up.

"He and I sniffed out anything that had strong traces of your scent on it. We found some disgusting rags that might be called clothing if someone was desperate that we left behind. We'll take you out shopping in the near future and make sure that you have much better things to wear. The only other thing we found that had a high concentration of your scent was under a loose floorboard in the room we found you in. It was an odd little pouch that neither of us could open."

"Perfect!" Harry exclaimed. "That's all that I wanted to grab from there anyway! If you two got it for me, then that means that I never have to go back."

Sesshomaru had just entered the room in time to hear Harry's declaration. His eyes glowed with the pleasure of knowing that he had done well by his Beta. Before Harry knew it, Sess had swooped down over him and captured his lips, playing with them as he savored the taste of the petite male. Sesshomaru was pleased when, after a gentle nibble on the other's lower lip, Harry released a gasp. A gasp that Sesshomaru was quick to take advantage of as he plunged his tongue into Harry's mouth and proceeded to map out the orifice for the first time without the effects of Harry's heat befuddling him. It was absolute bliss that only improved when tiny, delicate hands fisted themselves tightly into Sesshomaru's silver hair. Only when it became necessary to get in a breath deeper than the quickly snatched ones they had been grabbing did Sesshomaru reluctantly remove his lips from a Harry that was moaning into his mouth and attacking Sess' mouth with an equal fervor.

Sesshomaru thought that he had not seen such an attractive sight such as the one before him since he had first mated his half-brother. Harry was flushed, and after seeing Harry in the bathroom that morning, Sess knew that that enticing color was spread down far past what could be seen at the moment. He was also out of breath as he leaned back in his chair and panted, with his eyelids partially lowered over lust-hazed eyes.

"Forgive me, I did not mean to do such," Sesshomaru said as he withdrew. "I will have to plead forgiveness as my demonic instincts are still rather close to the forefront from the long heat cycle and they briefly surged as the pleasure of knowing that I had done well by my new mate flooded me."

"That's okay," Harry said dazedly. "Wait, that's not okay."

Seeing that Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were both about to speak up, Harry held up one of the tiny, delicate hands that he still had yet to get used too.

"It's more than fine that you snogged the life out of me. We're mates now, according to what you've told me and what Neville talked to me about, that's what mates do. So that's what I meant by okay. What's not okay is the fact that you thought that you had to apologize for doing so."

"You are quite kind and understanding, Harry," Sesshomaru said as he re-took his chair. "I had thought to try and hold out on any...intimacies, until we had had a chance to get to know one another much better. I do not wish to put you under any pressure or discomfort. Mating may take place in the 'here and now', if you will, because of our natures as demons, but unless the mates have known each other beforehand, it is normal to pull back slightly afterwards until the newly mated are more familiar with one another."

"That's makes a lot of sense and is very considerate of you. Both of you," Harry said with a nod of his head towards Inuyasha. "But please, don't hold yourselves back on my account."

Harry blushed a bit before continuing.

"I rather like being touched by those who care for me and if you can snog like that, why would I object? It was rather brilliant," Harry then cleared his throat and tried to ignore the heated stares Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were shooting him, before continuing on. "I was told that you have my things?"

"Certainly," Sesshomaru said as he handed over the strange little pouch.

"Marvelous! Now I can show you some of the things I was talking about!"

~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~

'That had certainly been an eye opening night,' Sesshomaru thought to himself. 'I thought for a while that I would never see Inuyasha again, just hear his voice as he squealed to himself in glee while wearing Harry's cloak and playing with some of the wizarding tricks that Harry had in his shrunken trunk. And wasn't that an interesting meeting when Harry was finally able to get to Diagon Alley to see the goblins and his friends, the Weasley twins.

~~~~~Flashback~~~~~

"I cannot believe the sheer nerve of that man!" Harry hissed in agitation, his eyes narrowed in extreme displeasure as he gestured wildly from his place in front of Gringott's Bank, where Harry had just finished dealing with all of the paperwork that entailed the claiming of his Lordships, as well as the paperwork that put Inuyasha and Sesshomaru on his Potter accounts in the wizarding world. The goblins had indeed confirmed the suspicion that Harry was also now the Lord Sytherin by conquest and that had also been a nightmare of paperwork, far worse than that of the Potter Lordship as the Slytherin one hadn't been properly managed for centuries. While they were at the bank, Harry had also been sworn in as the Heir of the House of Black, which was fortunately all there was to it as it was the Head of House's duty to ensure that all of the paperwork was properly dealt with. Sirius had done so and left everything at the bank so that whenever Harry was able to get in, the whole ordeal could be dealt with right then, regardless of if Sirius had been cleared yet, or if he was still involved with either the courts or the mind healers.

They had also found out that Fudge had been dipping his hands rather freely into the donated funds that had been set aside for the care of the orphans from the first rise of Voldemort. That wouldn't have made much of a difference to Harry, since he was sure that he wouldn't have seen any benefit to himself if the Dursley's had been given money to aid in raising him, but Harry had to wonder if that money would have made a difference to any of the other war orphans. Harry did find himself greatfull that Fudge had been unsuccessful in his many attempts to gain access to any of the Potter vaults as they had gone into lock down until a new Potter Lord was able to claim the main vaults, leaving only the school vault open which was closely monitored by the goblins. He had also tried to gain access to the Black vaults, but was equally unsuccessful as only one with Black blood could even enter them. Harry was only able to do so thanks to his paternal Grandmother, Dorea Potter nee Black.

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha quickly, but casually, moved in front of their mate, ensuring him some seblance of privacy from the stares and curiosity of the shoppers in Diagon Alley. Their currently blond-haired, blue-eyed mate was seemingly oblivious as he continued ranting, but proved that he knew what his mates were doing as he lowered his volume.

"Once we had gotten through our...um, "morning after" discussion," Harry blushed and calmed down at the thought of what led up to that discussion. "I was able to focus on the nagging thought that I had forgotten something. I wasn't able to figure out what it was I was missing though until the goblins mentioned that I had a mail re-direct ward cast on me."

"I remember that bit," Inuyasha brightly said. "What does that mean though? Your bankers didn't go into that much detail about it."

"Wizards deliver our mail via owl post. The owls know how to find anyone. I'm not sure how they are able to do that, but I can personally attest to their determination to do their job. When they were trying to deliver my Hogwarts letter, my Uncle and Aunt wouldn't let them do their job and finish the delivery of my letter. My Uncle went out one morning to see every tree, fence, or anything that would work as a perch absolutely covered in owls. That's what they do if they can't deliver immediately: they wait. A re-direct ward meant that any owl sent to me that brushed up against the ward, wouldn't wait for me to be able to get my mail. The owl would instead be convinced that it had to deliver the mail it was carrying to whoever, or wherever, the ward bespelled them to go to. The goblins told me that the ward cast on me, sent any and all mail to Fudge, and had been doing so in some form for the entire time since that Halloween night. The only thing he did recently was to tighten the ward so that no owls could get through, including the ones that were from people I personally knew or were official documents."

Sesshomaru, currently looking as he did when he saw to the Dursley's arrest, closed in on Harry as he became increasingly agitated again. Wrapping his arms tightly around the tiny Beta, Sesshomaru slightly, and gradually, increased his aura until he felt Harry go lax in his arms and begin to nuzzle against his chest.

"It will be well, little one. We will see to this," Sesshomaru murmured into Harry's hair.

"Actually," Sesshomaru could vaguely hear Harry as he spoke into his chest. "That might be done sooner, rather than later, depending on the next stop I've got planned."

"Come on," Harry said as he pulled away and looked up at his Alpha. "We need to see some friends of mine."

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha allowed Harry to grab one hand from each of them and pull them along behind him as he made his way through the shopping crowds. They were fascinated by the window displays and both were equally glad that Harry apparently knew exactly where they were going as well as hoping to spend some time in the alley visiting the various shops and buying things. Harry, accurately guessing some of what was flowing through their minds because of how the resistance increased as they went past certain shops, spoke up.

"You know, I really don't intend to take all day taking care of my business. I'm sure that there will be some time to spend getting in some actual shopping. I want to hit the book store, the owl emporium, and quidditch supplies. If you've seen any stores that have jumped out at you as I've dragged you past, just remember which ones they are and we'll come back to them. Alright? And here we are."

Harry halted in front of the most odd looking store that the demon brothers had ever seen. It was three stories tall, painted blue with bright orange trim, and had a two story mannikin standing in the front bay windows and extending through the windows' roof where the head popped out, tipping his hat so that the passers-by could see under it, revealing that it had a rodent sitting on its head. It was also clear to see that regardless of the buildings exterior, it was wildly popular, if the witches and wizards streaming in and out of the door were anything to go off of.

"Brace yourselves," Harry said as he released his hold on the their hands and moved to enter the shop. "I knew that the twins were brilliant, and fully expected their shop to take off, but I really had no idea that it would be this popular."

And with that, Harry lead them into the whirling maelstrom that was Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. It took a look of effort, but they finally reached the counter. Seeing that it was currently being manned by employees, Lee Jordan being the only one that Harry recognized off hand, Harry lead the way further back into the depths of the store. Finally reaching the back wall, Harry pressed his hands against a bright purple door that was lacking a handle and stated, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" as he ignored the dazed expression on Inuyasha's face and the blank mask that Sesshomaru was currently displaying. Harry reached back, grabbed ahold of both of his mates, and pulled them through the door after him as he marched forward.

"Oi! Fred and George! You in here?" Harry called out.

"HARRIKINS!" came the exited yell as two identical, red-haired males came flying down a set of stairs that lined up against the room's far wall.

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were released from Harry's grip when he was swept up by the two unknown males, both of them jabbering on at high speeds as they held up the petite Kitsune and spun him around. Sesshomaru, not liking the fact that strange males were manhandling his delicate, adorable Beta, stepped forward with a growl and snagged Harry out of mid-air, shoving him into Inuyasha's arms, before stepping in front of his two Beta's.

"Whoa! Hold on there, big guy. We don't mean any harm to our little Harrikins. We're just excited to see him. It's been a while and we had some news to share with him. Although, judging by the arm candy he came in with, Harry has some news for us. Also, we know that you don't like all the attention that you normally get, and we know that it will be worse than normal since you offed the great ugly, but what's with the Malfoy features and get up?"

Harry peeked around Sesshomaru, snickering lightly at the dazed expressions on his mates' faces. The way the twins spoke was always a lesson in confusion the first time someone heard them, and for some people it was a matter of confusion for everytime they heard them, and Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were no exception. Harry, having spent a bit more time with them, was now used to the way that the two seemed to share one mind and easily picked up and followed their speech.

"I guess I'll answer the bit about the arm candy first, since that is the reason I look like this. But how did you know it was me?" Harry asked as he reached up and pulled out an emerald stud from his ear, placing it in the pocket of the suit Harry had picked, then shrunk, from those offered by Sesshomaru as he was the one insisting on wearing the things since they were going to be attending to business in a bank.

"Simple Harry-dear, only one other person knows what that door's password is. Our secret investor! Not even out workers are allowed in our inventing room. They have to summon us via two way mirror if they need us up front." Fred and George said before conjuring enough chairs for everyone to sit down. "Now please, grab a seat and lets get down to the good stuff. We have some stuff to tell you about too, Harrikins."

Seeing that the red-headed twins were making no further move towards Harry, and seeing as well that Harry trusted them enough to remove his demon glamour, Sesshomaru moved forward and took a chair, gesturing for his mates to do the same. Not that Harry was allowed to have his own chair, since Inuyasha wordlessly refused to release his armful and simply puled Harry down onto his lap. It was easy to tell that Harry had zero objections to this as he immediately drew up his feet and twisted until he was completely seated on Inuyasha's lap.

Once he had gotten comfortable, Harry launched into a complete explanation of what occurred on his birthday and the three weeks following, including what he knew of his two mates. The leers that the mates were gifted with by the red-haired duo were truly alarming when Harry filled them in, in the vaguest possible way, of what occurred during his heat. Harry concluded his little information bomb with, "And I know that at some point, both of you will need to speak to Sesshomaru and Inuyasha to give them the whole ''If you hurt Harry, we'll hurt you" speech. I'll make sure to absent myself later for you to do that, as well as giving you some time to ask questions *COUGHinterrogateCOUGH*, but right now, I would like to hear about what I asked you to do."

Fred and George shared a look and began to gesture slightly at each other, which was truly alarming to Harry as the gestures grew in intensity.

"What did you two do?" Harry asked in alarm, causing their heads to whip around.

"Um... well, you know how you asked us to keep an eye on Fudge and his gang of idiots? And find some way of stopping him and discrediting him if he got out of hand? Well, funny thing about that..."

Harry was beginning to feel highly alarmed now as the two wouldn't meet his eyes as they hemmed and hawed. Taking a deep breath, knowing that whatever it was to make the terrible twosome act like this had to be huge, Harry drew strength from his mates and asked again.

"What did you do?"

"WekindamanagedtogetFudgebootedfromofficeandthenyo ugotelectedinalandslideinawriteinvote,

buteveryonewroteintosaythatyoushouldbeking. Thewizengamotisjustwaitingtoseeyoufirstbefore

confirmingyourwin,whichiswhythegoblinsdidn'ttellyo uwhenyoustoppedatthebank.

Pleasedon'tkillus?"

Harry shook his head in confusion as he tried to make some sense of the verbal assault that spewed from Fred and George. Giving it up after a moment or two, Harry shot an intense look at the two and tensely requested that they repeat the information again, in a more understandable manner.

After much starting and stopping on the twin's side of things, and with Harry poking, prodding, and threatening them all the way, it was finally revealed that thanks to the twin's efforts, not only had Fudge been booted out of office, but Harry was now the King of the wizarding world.

Harry reeled back in shock once the information settled in, Inuyasha reaching around tightly to steady the other half-breed.

"I-I-I...king? ME?! You...it...but," Harry stuttered out before the shock overloaded him, causing him to faint.

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru exchanged their own set of glances as Inuyasha re-settled a fainted savior of the wizarding world in his arms with a sigh.

"I suppose that we could just refer to him as the Lord of the East now. It would balance out your title nicely after all," Inuyasha blandly stated after a moment of thought. "You know, like bookends."

~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~

It had taken a lot of arguing on all sides, but in the end Harry was still the leader of the wizarding world. He did however refuse to be called a king and insisted that if he was going to be referred to as anything, it would be the title Inuyasha had suggested, "Lord of the East". The argument that had finally swayed the shocked and angry saviour, was the fact that the reason that there had been so many wizards trying to take over their world was because magic was trying to fill a position created by the unconscious desires of the numerous witches and wizards that wished for a final, ultimate authority that they could appeal to when they thought that they just weren't being heard by the government. Harry had been shocked to hear, privately from Dumbledore himself, that Dumbledore had once been one of the wizards that felt called upon to take control of their world and had plans that only fell apart due to an argument and a death, and that he wouldn't speak any more on the subject.

The whole Lord of the East/King of the Wizarding World thing was working out extremely well and involved very little work as it turned out. Just the fact that there was someone higher up the chain from the minister-elect Kinsgley Shacklebolt, who was checking up on him and could remove the man from office, had him determined to do a good job and not pass along any trouble to his boss. And since the minister was working hard to improve the lives of everyone in the British Isles that he had control over, there were very few of the residents of the Isles that petitioned to have an audience with the Lord of the East. It was also the same for the other wizarding communities around the world. Harry had the thought that in a few short years, Harry would be forgotten about in favor of his title of Ruler. It would just become a matter of fact piece of information that, of course, there was a ruler to ensure fairness and justice and all that stuff, and that magic would ensure that the fact of a ruler never disappeared. Thus letting everyone go on about their lives with very little fuss and inconvenience.

'Which was just as well,' Sesshomaru thought as he gave up on the paperwork and made his way over to his family after hearing a startled yell from Harry. As he lifted his panicking Beta into his arms, and felt the wetness that signaled Harry's waters had broken, Sesshomaru couldn't help but feel some sort of thankfulness to two of the most despicable beings he had ever met or heard of, Vernon Dursley and Bellatrix LeStrange. 'Who knew happiness was brought about by having someone steal massive amounts of money from you as well as having someone attempt to kill you in the most painful way they possibly could?'

Well, that's all folks! Thanks for following along with my story, that was only supposed to be pointless and smutty (darn plot bunnies keep hitting me about the head until I give in.) I never would have thought that I would have gotten such an amazing response to my first crossover and have been inspired to work harder on my other crossover, but not before I get my next Bleach fic out that will have featured interludes for the enjoyment of those who appreciate MPREG.

Thanks especially to those who took a moment or two to review. They

always inspire me and are my motivation to continue onto my next story.
