Chapter two- Bonding Part 1.
Severus didn't know why he was drawn to the well in the middle of the forest. But every night he could feel the magic that seem to ooze out of it call to him, whispering his name over and over, until he finally came to stand by the well. Evey night was the same. He would go to bed early, would wake up around midnight and then spend hours sitting beside the well. Almost falling asleep as its magic flowed through him. It always calmed him, sitting beside the well seemed to be the happiest he had ever felt in his miserable life and he didn't know why. Tonight was no different. Severus sat with his back to the well, staring up at the night sky. After the battle of Hogwarts, in which he had almost died, he had moved out here to be alone. Harry stopped by once a fortnight to make sure he was still alive, and made sure he had everything he needed. He would never say it to his face but he found the times he spent with Harry nice. He had grown to realise that the boy wasn't his father, he was his own person. He smiled softly. For the first time in his life he felt somewhat happy. Standing up, he placed a hand on the edge of the well, feeling its magic surround him, filling him, calming him. He didn't know why this happened or how, but he didn't care, he found he needed it.
"Till tomorrow my well." He turned and walked out of the forest in the direction of his home. Checking the time he found it was already 2am, like it was every other night. Taking off the robe that he wore to keep warm in the cool night air, he slipped back into bed and drifted into a peaceful slumber, the feel of the magic of the well still calming him.
-Inside the well-
Little did Severus know that just beyond the well was a parallel world, filled with demons and humans and magic. Hidden within Inuyasha's forest the same well sat, however instead of Severus sitting beside it, it was none other than the demon prince Sesshomaru. The same magic that called Severus to the well also called Sesshomaru. Although he would always make sure he was never seen at the well, he would come every night and sit beside it, feeling its magic fill him with peace. He was all alone ever since Rin had died. A sickness that spread through the land had claimed her early one morning. Although she was human, Sesshomaru had loved her, like the daughter he would never have. He said never for one reason. All demons had mates. He had looked his whole life for his and had never found him. He had thought Rin could be his mate but they had only had a paternal relationship, which he didn't mind, she brought joy to his life. His father had told him all about mating and finding his mate. He talked about the magic that would connect the two, and how it would feel. He couldn't believe the day when he had first felt the magic coming from the well. It was like his father had describe to him. The mating magic. He knew what it was instantly, well his instincts did. He watched as the first rays of light shone over the tops of the trees to illuminate his figure still sitting beside the well. His golden eyes shone in the sunlight while the long flowing white hair that lay over his shoulders, framed his face and became a shade whiter in the light. Standing, he pulls his royal kimono back into its rightful place. Placing a hand on the edge of the well, he smiled softly feeling the magic spike, filling him with the feel of happiness. Hearing rustling in the distance he moved away from the well, heading home to do his royal duties for that day. He just wished he could find out why he felt so drawn to the well, and why the magic felt so right to him.
-Back at Severus' House-
Today was the day that Harry would visit. As usual, Severus waited for him in his lab, watching over one of the many potions he was making that day. He had taken over the making of Remus's wolfsbane potion, the werewolf having asked Severus himself, seeing as he didn't trust the wizard that made it normally.
"Sev, are you in your lab?" Called a voice that Severus knew was Harry's.
"Where else would I be Potter?" He answered snarkly. He heard Harry's laughter as the young man walked through the house, coming to the door of the lab and leaning one of the wood panelling of the opening. Severus looked up to see Harry still in his Ministry robes. "Couldn't take the time to change Potter?" Harry looked down at himself, and seemed to be surprised for a second before smiling.
"I came straight over, plus what's wrong with my robes, there decent?" Harry asked posing in a way to show them off better. "And it's Harry." He added with a smile, moving to stand on the other side of the bench Severus was working at. Harry placed the bag that he had been carrying on the counter top, pulling out all the ingredients he had brought over for Severus, marking off each one from the order slip beside him. Severus cast a freezing spell on the potion and set it aside before checking over the ingredients and putting them away, happy that he had received his whole shipment.
"Did you want some tea Harry?" Severus asked as he put the last of the ingredients away on the shelf. Turing around, he saw Harry pounder the invitation before nodding and smiling up at the man. Nodding in return Severus walked out of the potions lab and into the kitchen. He waved his hand in the direction of the teapot, hearing it begin boiling. Walking over to his cupboards he pulled out the tea leaves that he had recently cultivated. He knew Harry preferred a more stronger tasting tea. They both did. Severus didn't have house elves, he felt they got in his way, so he let magic almost run the small household. He watched as the tea started to make itself and smiled. He was glad that he had come across the spell the enabled his house to do this. Harry had already made himself comfortable at the small table that situated in the middle of the kitchen. Severus made his way over to the table and took the only other remaining chair. Harry looked up at Severus and saw the perplexed look on his face.
"Sooo you figured anything out about the well right?" Severus shook his head sadly. Harry was the only person he had told about the well and what happened every night. He didn't know why he did, but he did. It was good to have someone to talk about it too however.
"No I have not. There is nothing in any books that state as to why the well is there. Some say it doesn't even exist. Others say that only the worthy can see it. But every night is the same, I am called over and over again, night after night to that well with no answers." Severus said frustrated. He wanted, no needed answers. He couldn't continue like this, he needed to know why he was drawn to that well.
"Could I see the well Sev? Maybe I could use my amazing Aura skills and see what it is." Severus looked up at Harry with a blank face. Maybe Harry was right. What if he could shed some light on what the well was? Sighing, Severus pushed his tea to and stood.
"Maybe it will help, come along then." Harry smiled and followed Severus out of the door and along the path into the forest. If anyone had asked Severus how to get to the well he wouldn't be able to tell them, because he himself didn't know. He just followed the feeling in his gut and the feel of magic that surge through him the closer he got to the well. Pushing through the last grove of trees Harry got his first look at the mysterious well. Walking over to it, Harry ran his hands along the side of the well feeling the magic that flowed from it. Severus felt the magic spike as Harry touched the well and smiled softly. He walked over to the well and placed his hand beside Harry 's. Harry seems surprised by the way the magic spiked when Severus hand touched the wood rim.
"Sev, take your hand off the well and then put it back on would you?" Severus, confused for a moment, did as Harry requested. Harry immediately noticed the spike in magic and smiled. Severus was so clueless, Harry knew mating magic the second he felt it. It was the same magic that he bonded him with his partner. Circling the well he saw an inscription on the side. Pushing away the bushes the covered it, he saw that it was in another language. One that he, thankfully, spoke.
"The vel til að festa saman. Galdur frá þessum brunni skulu velja skuldabréf þeirra sem lifa á þessum skógi. Ætti þó skuldabréf vera á milli tveggja manna tengds relmes, A ákvörðun þarf að vera. Slík ákvörðun þarf að vera innan þriggja mánaða frá því að fyrsta vali á galdra, eða annars tengt par mun deyja." Harry said, making sure Severus could hear him. Upon hearing him Severus looked up and tried to identify the dialect, but couldn't. Seeing the look Harry chuckled and walked back around the well to stand beside him.
"Icelandic. You would be surprised how old the language actually is, and how many communities used it way back when." Severus nodded, and sat down beside the well, feeling the magic start to swim around him, wrapping his body in a mixture of happiness and security.
"But what does it mean?" Harry started to translate the words in his head as he sat beside Severus.
"It translates to: The well of bonding. Magic from this well shall choose the bonds of those that live within these woods. Should however a bond be made between two people of the connected relmes, A decision needs to be made. Such decision needs to be made within three months of the first choosing of the magic, or else the bonded pair will die." Harry felt Severus flinch beside him and smiled, bet that was confronting for him, Harry thought to himself. Little did he know that beside him Severus was having a small mental breakdown, small meaning huge life changing breakdown.
-In Inuyasha's forest-
As if like a movie on repeat, Sesshomaru had just received the same message from one of his many 'spiritual guiders' as they called themselves. He too was having a metal breakdown except his was shared with the whole of the castle. Chairs and tables were knocked over. Curtains was slashed, rugs were ripped apart. He couldn't believe that his mate had been so close and yet he was too stupid to figure it out. This is why I have never been able to find him here, he's from the future! Why oh why Gods did you curse me with such loneliness to only find out the information now? He thought to himself as he went to talk to his royal advisers. He found them lounging in the court room scoffing down their weight in food and wine. Pigs, he thought. Walking up to them, he cleared his throat, making the men look up at him.
"I have found my mate." He stated simply. The room erupted in applause, the men standing up and making their way over to congratulate their prince. "Yes, Yes." He said, holding up his hand to make them quite. "I must go and find him. I am leaving you all in charge. Do not disappoint me. If I come back and find that my kingdom is in ruin I will slaughter every single of you in front of your loved ones. Do you hear me?" He saw nods all round. Flicking his kimono around him he walked out of the court room and to his personal rooms, to get changed. When he says get changed he means into a more informal kimono, but that was just until he reached the mortal world he knew was connected to the well. He also packed a small carry bag that he put mortal cloths into. He had been to the other world a few times before, but only to collect his brother Inuyasha when he got into trouble. He knew that his kimono would attract attention, so he had a supply that Kagome he given him for the trips between worlds.
-1 hour later-
Sesshomaru landed in front of the well with ease, making sure that no one had spotted him during his jurney. He felt the magic from the well spike the second he touched down. Smiling he leaned over the side of the well and let himself free fall. He felt his whole body being encased in magic, as he was transported through to the other world. Before he knew it, he was staring at an overgrown forest and knew he was in the mortal world. Looking around to see if anyone was nearby, he changed out of his kimono and into the black skinny jeans and red turtle neck that he had in his bag. Grabbing a hair tie, he decided to tie his hair into a high pony-tail so that it wouldn't drag across the ground. Slinging his bag over his shoulder, he started to walk through the forest, already feeling the magic he knew was his mate's. He walked through the forest for about half an hour before he came across a small house. This was it, he knew it. His mate lived here. He could practically see the mating magic smothering the house. Not caring about who saw, Sesshomaru walked right up the door and knock loudly, hoping that his mate was inside. Just as soon as he knocked did the door open to reveal a tired looking Severus. Both men stared at each other, Severus having dropped the book he was holding to the ground. Sesshomaru couldn't help but let out a gasp at the site of his mate. He was beautiful, his pure black hair reached just under his shoulders. His dark eyes were round in confusion which made him seem cuter. He wore simple black pants with a white button down shirt, the top two buttons were open revealing a pale white chest. The more Sesshomaru looked at the man the more the blush that had made its way onto his face grew darker. He wanted to talk, but only one thing came to mind.
"My mate."
