Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Harry Potter.
Just to forwarn, I am not that fond of Kagome, she needs anger management.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to review. I am not thrilled with this chapter, so if you think of anything that needs to be fixed, let me know

After a slight temper tantrum that left the area around the stream rather decimated, Harry was able to calm down enough to think things through. He was in the feudal era of Japan, most of the legends that he had read and found interesting were from around this period in time, and his knowledge of the Wizarding World gave him the experience to realize that all myths and legends are based in fact. His new appearance lead him to the conclusion that he was now a yokai, which probably would have freaked him out if he was not used to unusual things did not happen to him on a regular basis, it also explained the aversion to humanity, not that he was fond of them even when he was a human. All in all he found the situation to be rather pleasant when compared to his previous happenings, especially since he now seemed to be able to use his larger magical core without a wand or an incantation.
His musings were interrupted when his stomach rumbled, he hadn't gotten breakfast after all and his dinner of two pieces of bread and an apple slice just was not cutting it. As if in answer to his stomach's prayers, a wonderful smell arose from only a short distance away, it was the smell of roast fish. He could also smell the people that the food belonged to, a small human child, an imp, and a very powerful, very dominate dog yokai. He knew that there was a good chance that they would not share but he was entirely too tired to go hunting, so he quickly but quietly made his way toward the lovely smell. When he was almost to the small clearing that they were camped in he slowed down and made sure to make enough noise that the group knew he was there since he was currently upwind.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lord Sesshomaru heard the light rustling of leaves and locked his eyes on the origin, when he saw the creator of the noise his mouth instantly watered. A beautiful Midnight Fox glided into the clearing, he was breathtaking, only slightly feminine, just enough to make it clear that he was a submissive. The power that rolled off of him was almost unbelievable, but even from this distance he could tell that he was not quite of age yet, but when he did come of age, hmmmm.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry almost blushed at the way the canine's eyes drank in his form, he almost felt as if the other demon was planning on eating him. "I don't mean to intrude upon your lunch, but I am quite hungry and I do not have energy to hunt. I would be more then willing to hunt dinner if you would share your lunch with me." He was rather nervous, he knew that he could hunt, physically, but he had no idea how.
Sesshomaru found himself blinking, something was wrong. "Where are your parents?" The young fox seemed to almost draw into himself.
"I have never met my parents, I was being taken care of by a family of humans but they are gone and I have not had a good meal in a good little while." Harry found himself ducking his head slightly, in truth, he had not had a full meal since the dinner before the last task at Hogwarts, the memories of Cedric and the stares and whispers from the other students kept him from really feeling hungry. His new yokai mindset helped though, it let him realize that he was not responsible for what happened to Cedric. The adults, especially the Headmaster were, they were the ones charged with the protection of the young and they failed to do their job.
Sesshomaru could tell that the youngling was not telling the entire truth but was not about to call him on it, yet anyway. "There is no reason for a youngling to bargain for food, you are more then welcome to share our food. Rin, Jakan, Ah-Un, and this Sesshomaru would be honored if you would travel with us until you find either your caretakers or someone else that you can stay with."
Normally Harry would have greatly disliked having to depend on someone else, but it felt almost instinctual to allow Sesshomaru to order him about. "Thank you, Lord Sesshomaru, my name is Anisuke." If it was not for the nature instincts of a yokai Harry, now Anisuke would have plainly shown his shock, where had that name come from? Oh well, it sounded a lot better then Harry.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sesshomaru found that having the young fox around was no trouble at all; even Jakan had fallen under the little one's spell. He was respectful and a bit shy around him, which was rather amusing when it resulted in a blush, and around Rin he was the perfect playmate, able to keep her interested for hours while teaching her things she would someday need to know, he would make an excellent mother…
It had been a week since Anisuke had joined Sesshomaru's group and everyday he found another facet of him that made him a better potential, and he was not the only one. Jakan had already started to try to impress the young man with stories of Sesshomaru's past battles, the demon was most certainly loyal, perhaps Sesshomaru would hit him a bit less, or at least a little softer, maybe.
Anisuke was happier then he had ever been, he didn't have to worry about anything, Sesshomaru took care of everything. He knew that something was bound to go wrong and soon, but he was going to enjoy this while it lasted.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Lord Sesshomaru-sama, Lord Sesshomaru-sama! Rin was playing in the flowers with Anisuke-chan and then the loud one in red came with his friends and Anisuke-chan sent me away, but he's still there and Rin is scared that they might hurt him!" Rin was really frantic, they were being so loud and the red one and the monk were looking at Anisuke-chan funny, and the girl that dressed funny was being really mean.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome looked the boy up and down with disgust, a boy shouldn't be so pretty, especially not a demon boy. "Who are the heck are you?!"
Inuyasha couldn't take his eyes off of the fox; he was gorgeous, not of age but still, wow! Something was off though; the boy almost seemed to be waiting on someone.
Anisuke was nervous, he knew that Rin would get Sesshomaru-sama, but the woman with the modern cloths looked ready to attack, he knew that she was a miko, and he wasn't quite sure what to do about it. He also knew that she would have had to go through the well too, which made sense, with it just sitting there and all, but why did she insist on wearing those cloths? In this era she looked like a woman of the wrong sort to put in nicely, and from the look on her face she knew what he was thinking.
How dare he look at her like that, like there was something wrong with her! He was the one that there was something wrong with! "Well, answer me, you filthy little demon!"
Anisuke could feel his temper heating up, how dare she, a human woman with such bad manners, insult him! "I am Anisuke though a woman of your standing should not speak that way to those of higher breeding." Anisuke may have known that those cloths were normal for the future, but she should at least have the intelligence to change them, she was inviting the insult and he was more then happy to oblige.
His comment made her flush a rather unattractive shade of red, while the other members of her group looked to be fighting down their amusement, they had been trying to tell her that what she wore was inappropriate but she wouldn't listen. Kagome was furious, how dare him! He was insinuating that she was a whore! "Listen here you little tramp, I am Kagome and I am a miko. You're just a filthy demon that doesn't even look like a proper boy; your parents should have drowned you as a child!" Kagome knew she had made a mistake when the very air around them stopped and the animals in the forest went quiet.
