Chapter Eleven:


Sirius smiled as he checked on Harry in his room, the hanyou was sleeping peacefully a small smile on his face. He sighed and closed the door and smiled when he saw Kagome's worried face. She knew it had to be hard for Sirius losing his best friends and now his Godson, but Kagome knew Inuyasha wouldn't keep Tetsuya away from the human, he wasn't that cruel. She smiled and hugged Sirius around the waist shocking the man.

"You looked like you need a hug." Kagome pulled back blushing.

Sirius chuckled when he saw the blush, he grinned and wrapped an arm around her shoulders walking her away from Tetsuya's room and making their way to the garden. "Thanks, I did need that hug."

"Are you alright, Sirius?" Kagome asked sitting down on the bench with Sirius sitting down next to her. It was a beautiful night with the moon shinning down on the garden making the small pond glitter in the light.

"Yes, I'll be fine, it's just hard seeing Tetsuya knowing he's the son of my best friends and yet now he's the son of Inuyasha. It's like I lost him." Sirius rubbed a hand down his face, he tried to keep the sadness from his voice as he spoke. "I can only hope Inuyasha will allow me to tell Tetsuya about his human parents when he gets older."

Kagome placed a hand on the wizard's shoulder knowing he needed comfort. "Inuyasha won't hide Tetsuya's past from him and neither will he keep your godson from you Sirius. Inuyasha knows how it feels to have no one and he isn't going to let that happen to you or Tetsuya."

Sirius felt better hearing that from Kagome since she knew Inuyasha better then he did, and he was glad to see Harry safe and away from the Death Eaters and Dumbledore. True he did respect the Headmaster, but he wasn't foolish enough to trust Harry to him. Dumbledore's only thought now is to destroy Voldemort any way he can even if he had to use a small boy like Harry. "Tetsuya is happy here and even if Voldemort finds a way back to the living I'm sure Slytherin and Gryffindor will help us fight him."

"You're going to have to return to England, aren't you?" Kagome asked knowing Sirius only came to check up on his godson, she didn't know what he planned to do next.

"Snape and I have to return and find Pettigrew and prove that I'm innocent. Voldemort might be gone for now, but his Death Eaters can and will still cause chaos." As much as Sirius would have liked to stay here, he couldn't and he needed to talk to Remus and make sure his friend knew what happened

"I'm afraid for you, Sirius." Kagome was very worried, thinking about what could happen when they left, and she would never know since their world was such a big secret.

Sirius was touched by the way Kagome was so worried about him. The only people that ever worried about him were James, Lily, and Remus, not even his own family cared what happened to him. To them he was nothing but a disappointment, a Gryffindor. "There's no need to be I'll be careful."

Kagome leaned in and gave Sirius a small peck on the lips surprising the wizard. "You promise?"

Sirius' eyes soften and he nodded. "I promise."

Severus spotted Kagome and Black in the garden talking so he turned around and went back inside the castle. He didn't want to bother them knowing they needed some time to themselves before they had to return to their time. Severus sighed a little jealous of Black and how lucky he was to gain a friend like Kagome, unlike him. He was always alone even as a child. The only who ever cared about him was his mother, and she was killed by the Dark Lord because she refused to join his Death Eaters. The reason he became a spy was to revenge his mother and make the Dark Lord pay for the pain he had caused. Severus knew he might not live long, not with the Death Eaters knowing he was a spy. Knowing Lucius he would be the one to make the kill. Lucius hated him and Severus hated the Malfoy since they were both students. Should Severus live, then he could only hope Dumbledore would allow him to teach at Hogwarts.

" I know you're there." Severus glared at the shadows. "Come out and face me."

Sesshoumaru stepped out from the darkness a small smirk on his face. The Taiyoukai was dressed in a black yukata and he had his hair tied in a long ponytail. "It's a little late to be out, don't you think human?"

"I'm not some child to go to bed early. I happen to like the night time." Severus sneered at the demon not caring if he was his host. "Now is you excuse me I'm going to my room."

"You are not excused." Sesshoumaru was right in Severus' face almost nose to nose. The wizard didn't even see him move, the demon was just that fast. "I wish to get to know you."

Severus raised an eyebrow at that. "You wish to know me?" Sesshoumaru gave a small graceful nod. "Why?"

"You are an interesting human." Sesshoumaru said like that was supposed to explain everything. "I want to know more about your time and this enemy of yours, the one who killed Tetsuya's human parents."

"You want to know more about Voldemort." Severus flinched when he said the dark wizard's name, like so many others he hated to hear the sound of that name. "He's dead."

"For now." Sesshoumaru like Severus overheard the Miko and Black talking. "I want to know everything about the human that is a threat to my nephew."

Severus gave a harsh laugh. "The Dark Lord isn't a human, he's a monster."

"He has done something to you?" Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed he didn't like the thought of the dark wizard causing this human pain. "Tell me."

Severus didn't like to be ordered around and he proved that by walking past the dog demon and headed for his room only for Sesshoumaru to grab his arm and pull him back against a strong and firm chest. Severus snarled and tried to pull away from the demon. "Let me go now!"

"No." Sesshoumaru doesn't like it when someone disobeys him and this human was going to learn that lesson. "Now tell me what I want to know!"

"You are not my Master!" Severus had enough of people thinking they owned him. He had to serve the Dark Lord and Dumbledore and he knew once he returned to England Dumbledore would once again make him do something he didn't want to do. Severus narrowed his eyes at the tall demon. "I already have two Masters I do not need a third."

Sesshoumaru growled at the thought of others besides him owning this human. True he tried to make himself seem ugly, but Sesshoumaru was no fool he could see through the magic to see the real person. "You are a coward."

"I am not a coward." Severus faced death and the Dark Lord for years. He was no coward.

Sesshoumaru smirked. "You hide your looks with your magic. I can see through your glamour."

"It's an act to fool the Dark Lord." The Dark Lord liked young men and Severus seen what he did to Lucius when he wanted sex it wasn't a pretty site. Lucius being the bastard that he is enjoyed the pain. He used the glamour because he didn't want the attention of Voldemort. "I was a spy for the light."

"And now?" Sesshoumaru asked softly not taking his eyes off of the human wizard.

"I don't know." Severus didn't know what he was now that the Dark Lord's followers know he's a spy, he knew the minute he arrived back in England they would try and kill him.

This human so very different from the rest Sesshoumaru thought as he studied the man in his arms. He was strong and very powerful and was also very smart, he would make someone a fine mate. A wicked smile crossed Sesshoumaru's face. He is looking for a strong mate and he remembered Gryffindor saying wizards could have children with the right potion, which means Sesshoumaru, if he chose Snape as his mate, could still have heirs. Yes, this wizard will be his mate, it seemed to work for Slytherin.

"What are you doing?" Severus eyed the demon wryly as he spotted the wicked smile on his face. He didn't know the Taiyoukai very well, but he knew the demon wasn't one to smile. Sesshoumaru was up to something, something he was sure he wasn't going to like at all.

"You will be my mate." Sesshoumaru said simply.

"I'm what? Your what?" Severus managed to pull away from Sesshoumaru with wide black eyes. "Mate?"

"Yes." The human should be honored that this Sesshoumaru chose him to be his mate and Lady of the Western Lands.

Severus' eyes narrowed. "No." He turned to continued on his way to his room.

Sesshoumaru couldn't believe that this human dared to tell him no, he should be honored. He was about to stop the human from leaving him when he hard laughing coming down the hallway. "What do you want Konohamaru?"

"I was only doing my rounds, Lord Sesshoumaru." Konohamaru said smiling, it wasn't everyday you see Sesshoumaru showing emotion and the Taiyoukai was angry, very angry. "However I couldn't help but overhear you and Snape talking."

Sesshoumaru ignored his fellow dog demon and went to his chambers, he would deal with wizard tomorrow. He had chosen and Snape would become his mate, but first he would have to talk him into it.
