Harry sat bolt up right in bed sweat covered his entire body. That was become a frequent but annoying thing at night. These dreams seemed to be getting worse, ever since he had returned from the Higurashi shrine he had been having dreams of him committing suicide. Granted he had slipped in to a pretty deep depression since Christmas day but he never thought of killing himself, so why were these dreams haunting him.
Sighing Harry flopped back onto his bed, looking over at his bedside clock he groaned and pulled his pillow over his face.
* It's only 3:00 in the bloody morning, there is no way in hell that I will get back to sleep. *
Flopping over several more times Harry sat up letting out an irritated sigh. This was just not his year. Throwing the covers off Harry let his bare feet hit the cold flag stone floor. If that didn't wake you up instantly he didn't know what would.
Not bothering to throw his bathrobe over his naked chest he made his way out of the boys dormitories. The night was a raging storm, thunder and lightning clashed while rain beaded on the windows of the old castle. Harry was surprised that the old glass hadn't shattered under the intense force of the rain. It looked as if hell had let lose and was trying to destroy the castle. Shaking his head Harry continued his trek out of the common room.
All was silent in the halls, well that was if you didn't count the driving rain that was trying to creak the windows and crush the castle. What he meant by silent was there were not teachers lurking in the halls, which surprised him greatly.
* Now where the hell are you? * Harry thought to him self. He had come down to talk to Sesshomaru; he always seemed to be floating around the castle these days. "Doesn't he have a kingdom to rule or something?"
"Actually I lost my kingdom when the English came and claimed the land as their own." Harry nearly jumped out of his skin. Whirling around he came face to face with the youkai he has been looking for. "Jezze Sesshomaru don't do that to me." A small grin tilted Sesshomaru lips before they became a frown of curiosity.
"Nani?"
A smile once again tilted Sesshomaru's lips upwards. He reached up above Harry's head. A strange sensation filled Harry as Sesshomaru's soft fingers grasped something that was attached to his head. A sharp pain fallowed as Sesshomaru tugged on said new object.
"Ow! What the hell?"
Sesshomaru gave a low chuckle, and tugged again.
"It looks as though you have finally stopped transforming. You have your ears back."
Harry's eyes widened. "Nani?" sure enough when he reached up himself there were the fury appendages. Concentrating Harry was able to flick the furry things. A grin lit his features.
"I forgot what it was like having them." He was moving them so much and so fast that Sesshomaru felt himself getting dizzy. The ears suddenly stopped and came to face Sesshomaru. Harry looked down at the source of the noise that he had heard.
"Who's that letter going to?" Harry asked spying the slightly crumpled envelope in Sesshomaru's had. Wait a second he had two arms. "And when did your arm regrow?"
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and gave him a look that said, "you now just noticed that, I see you really pay attention to your surroundings"
"Oh shut up, no I just happen to notice it." Harry admitted sheepishly. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and continued his trek up to the owlery.
"To answer your question my ever observant brother, my arm had regrown by the final fight, but as I see then you didn't really pay attention to your surrounding. And as to the letter, it is a letter to my son, he is in the American Wizarding School right now and I promised that I would write him."
Harry froze and stared up at his brother. Sesshomaru stopped and stared at Harry with a questioning eyebrow raised.
"You have a son... as in you had sex with a girl." Sesshomaru rolled his eyes again and came to stand in front of his brother.
"No I sprinkled fairy dust on her and poof I had a son." He accented his point with his arm movements. His hand suddenly came down on the top of Harry's head. "Of course I did BAKA! How else do you create a pup." Sesshomaru turned and walked down the hall all the time muttering to himself.
Harry absently rubbed his head where a giant goose egg was forming.
"Hey wait up!"
Sesshomaru didn't slow his pace as he felt Harry run up beside him.
"You're going to wake the entire castle if you continue to shout like that. I do not believe that you want your professors to realize that you are out of bed well after curfew. That and I don't think your professor Snape would really like to be sent back to the hospital wing, it seems he has been there quiet a few times these last couple months." The last part was said with a huge grin across his usually emotionless features.
Harry ginned at the thought. "Yeah true."
They had reached the owlery, and Harry watched silently as Sesshomaru attached his letter to a school owl. The two brothers stood in silence for several minutes after the owl had disappeared from their sight.
"What his name?"
Sesshomaru turned to around.
"What?"
"Your son, what's his name?" Sesshomaru blinked a couple times before turning back to staring out the window.
"Zerachiel."
Harry blinked a couple times. "Zerachiel?" that wasn't a very common name in Japan.
"His mother named him, his name was originally going to be Shinta, but it was her final wish that he be named Zerachiel."
Harry felt his chest tighten.
"She died." It wasn't a question. Sesshomaru bowed his head.
"Yes, shortly after she had given birth to him. It was her last wish."
An uncomfterble silence fell between the brothers.
"What's he like?" a small smile tilted Sesshomaru's lips.
"The complete opposite of me, he more like his mother. He's happy and cares for every living thing; you almost never see a frown on his face, his eyes are like a morning sunrise, they never lost the innocent look of a young child that had no problems and love for life, even though he has seen things that would have made a grown demon curl into themselves. He has a great need for knowledge, he is always wanting to learn and read, we had to build a library for him connected to his room. He had traveled to nearly all the different cultures of the earth and knows and understands their cultures. He lives life to the fullest and beyond that."
Harry couldn't help the smile the crept over his face at the love filled look on his brother's face.
"You love him don't you?"
Sesshomaru turned and gave a look 'here's you sign'
"Of course I do, he my life. You can't feel down around him, his personality is so up lifting and up beat."
"Are you sure he's your son, cause from what your describing doesn't sound like anything you could have raised. Being this Sesshomaru is cold and hides his emotions."
Sesshomaru turned to glare at Harry. "Youkai change Inuyasha, you are a prime example of that." Sesshomaru turned to look back out the window. He stared hard as a figure in dark robes limped across the grounds.
"Sesshomaru can I meet him some day."
Turning from the window Sesshomaru nodded.
"I'll bring him here someday. Now I think it is time you went to bed you do have classes tomorrow. I'll see you tomorrow at breakfast."
Harry nodded and disappeared from the owlery. Sesshomaru waited until he heard Harry's footsteps head up towards the Gryffindor common room, before taking off with inhuman speed for the dungeons.
~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
Severus Snape was not in the best of moods that night; he had had the cruciatus cast on him for five minutes and then gotten beaten by Crabbe and Goyle Sr. pain shot though his broken right leg as he took a step towards his room. Biting his lip as not to scream out, the metallic taste of his own blood filled his mouth. He thanked Kami that his robes were black so that anyone passing by would only think they were wet not soaked in his blood.
"Northern lands." He choked out the password, and watched as the painting sealing his rooms open painfully slow. Not bothering for them to open all the way he shoved his way though the door.
"Why do you keep returning to that monster, if you are just going to keep coming back in this condition."
Severus stopped and glared at the Demon Lord sitting on his couch.
"How did you get in here?"
Sesshomaru stood and strode over the Severus. He gently lifted the blood soaked robe from his shoulder and handed it to one of his personal servants.
"You know perfectly well how I got in here Akira I live here remember, now stop avoiding the question."
Severus sighed knowing there was no way he was going to get out of this.
"I go back because I find out valuable information about Voldemort. You know that he is as big a threat to our world as he is there's. I can handle the pain."
Sesshomaru turned back to Severus, his emotionless mask firmly in place, though his emotions were in turmoil deep down in him.
"Akira, you are my only cousin that is still in this world, and a fellow lord. We have spy's to do this job not us."
Severus shook his head. "There are no others that I would trust with finding out this information. No if you don't mind fluffy I'm going to go take a shower and change into something that is not covered in blood."
Sesshomaru growled at Severus retreating back.
"I never should have told you what Zerachiel calls me."
There was a snort of laughter from the bedroom.
"You're the baka who told me, so live with the consequences."
Growling Sesshomaru sat back down in front of the roaring fire. His mind lost in its thoughts.
Severus emerged sometime later dressed in a white pants, and a silver and ice blue tunic. His ice blue hair hung damply around his shoulders. White bangs covered his ice blue eyes and hid a silver crescent moon with a white snow flake between it's points. He looked at his cousin slightly concerned. He hadn't moved an inch since he had jumped in the shower.
"Sesshomaru?"
The dog demon blinked his golden eyes once and turned to face Severus.
"It's nice to see you in your true form for once instead of that greasy potions master you portray."
Severus sat down next to Sesshomaru while lazily rapping his tail around his middle.
"Did you discover anything at the meeting tonight or should I say dismourning."
Straight to the point as always. Sighing Severus nodded.
"It is him, when that baka wench for all who had died during that war to come back and have a second chance at life it brought him back as well."
"Before he was just a Hanyou with the Shikon Jewel as his power. Now he has the human magic on his side, along with more followers that can easily blend in with society. This will war will be a little more difficult to fight."
"We are on the winning side though so I don't have to many doubts."
"This battle in standing on a the edge of a double bladed sword, one wrong move and Voldemort will have the upper hand and the victory. This is a battle that must be planned out and extracted to the 'T' otherwise it will fail."
The two demon lords sat in silence for several minutes.
"What of the Prophesy, do you honestly think that your brothers reincarnation can defeat him?"
Sesshomaru sighed and looked back into the fire.
"That is a funny one, that prophesy."
"What ever do you mean by that Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru turned to face Severus.
"That same prophesy was made nearly 500 years ago by one of my seers. It told of a child that would be born from parents that had battled Naraku three times and escaped each time. The child would be born on the last day of the seventh month and would be marked as his equal. That same prophesy was made just before Harry was born. There is not one person but two that have to defeat Voldemort."
"Who is the second per...." Severus trailed off as his ice blue eyes grew to the size of dinner plates.
"Zerachiel." Sesshomaru nodded.
"Naraku left a crest shaped scar on my sons back that never fully healed, which it should have with his healing abilities. That is not it though."
Sesshomaru reached into his coat pocket and withdrew a very old looking piece of paper. Severus looked at it strangely before accepting it.
His eyes once again grew wide as he read over.
"That was made by my seer this summer, that is why I have come here."
Severus sighed and put his face into his hands. "Why can't that son of a bitch just die already."
Sesshomaru chuckled. "Language my dear Akira, you are still the lord of the northern lands."
Severus playfully punched Sesshomaru's arm.
"Don't remind me. So are we going to bring our sons here next year, I know that if one comes the other will to, they are conceted at the hips, I swear there almost as bad as potter and Weasley."
Sighing again Severus stood. "Well I'm going to crash for the night, think you could possibly take my sixth year Gryffindors and Slytherins for me tomorrow morning. I really don't feel like getting up that early to teach."
"Sure I will take over your class tomorrow, but you owe me big time."
Waving his hand while trying to suppress a yawn Severus muttered.
"Yeah, yeah, what ever I'll see you tomorrow. Make them do what you feel like having them do."
"Good night Akira."
"Night."
Sesshomaru continued to sit at the couch well into the morning. It wasn't until Severus wall clock struck 7:00 A.m. that he moved from his spot.
"Well might as well get set up." Throwing on a pair of silk pants and a white sleeveless tunic, which still had his family symbol in red on his left shoulder. He pulled on his yellow and blue sash so that the tunic would stay closed. Turning to the mirror he magically hid his marking except for the family birthmark on his forehead. With only one last thing to do he pulled his hair into a high ponytail on top his head with red ribbon.
"Well this should be an interesting morning."
~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~
next time: Sesshomaru is teaching potions, and Harry is told of the true prophesy, and the Quidditch match against Slytherins. And Harry discovers that Snape is his cousin.
Well what did you all think? As I said I'm sorry it took so long to update but I promise to update more. Well push that little button right down there and review...I really love them (
