Chapter Fourteen:
Inuyasha huffed when his mate entered their bedroom wearing a formal haori and hakama while he was dressed in a woman's white kimono with Kouga's true form in the back. Because Inuyasha was the submissive in their relationship he had to dress the part and act the part. That didn't mean he had to like it though. Inuyasha groaned as he thought about his ball and how he acts the prefect brother and heir to the Western Lands. He hoped Sesshoumaru would mate soon and have an heir. Inuyasha hated the court, but now as the mate of Kouga he was still expect to attend.
"Ready to go koi?" Kouga asked holding out his hand to Inuyasha who was glaring at him. "We don't want to be late."
Inuyasha placed his hand in his mate's keeping the glare on his face. "Yeah, the sooner we go the sooner we can leave." They left their bedchamber.
They found Remus and Severus in the hall talking with Kagome about their kimonos. Severus was wearing a silk black kimono with Sesshoumaru's true form in the back and he wasn't happy about it. Remus was wearing a kimono like Inuyasha only his was red with Katsuya's true form on the back.
"Why am I wearing a woman's kimono?" Remus asked confused, he didn't understand why he was required to wear such a thing. Severus and Inuyasha were dressed the same.
"Because these over confident demons believe they own us." Unlike Remus, Severus knew why he was wearing his kimono and he was going to make sure that over grown dog paid for it. "And Sesshoumaru is not going to get away with this." The great Taiyoukai himself came into Severus' room and forced him to wear the damn kimono. And with Sesshoumaru being stronger of the two Severus had no choice being held down as he was at the time.
"What do you mean, Severus?" Remus turned to face Severus noticing that his eyes were full of rage.
"What he means is that my father and Sesshoumaru has placed a claim on you." Kouga said with his arm around Inuyasha and a smirk on his face. This was going to be an interesting night.
"A claim?" Remus didn't know much about the demon world so he didn't know what a claim meant.
"As a mate." Severus however read everything he could find about the demon world and did know what a claim meant. Severus wasn't about to mate anyone and not that stupid dog demon. They would have to return to the future soon there was no way around it.
"I don't even know your father." Remus couldn't believe this was happening to him, he only came here to see his best friend and Harry not to become a mate of a demon. He only met Katsuya once and that was all.
"My father likes you." Kouga could see that this werewolf was going to give his father a run for his money. And he was going to lean back and watch the show.
"We can worry about all of this later, we really need to get to the ball before Sesshoumaru and Sirius come looking for us." Kagome pleated she wanted to go to the ball and enjoy herself. She didn't get to dress up often and was going to enjoy herself to the fullest.
Severus smirked and took out his wand waving it over his head with a whispered word. Everyone watched as his appearance changed from the greasy haired man they knew. His hair became longer down past his shoulders and soft like silk not greasy at all. He was beautiful.
"You have vela blood." Remus was surprised at the best. Severus was beautiful without the glamour.
"Snapes come from the line of a different type of vela then the ones you've read about." Severus was very proud of his bloodline. "We are darker then the normal ones you've seen or read about. All males in my family are born vela the women are only pure blood witches. No one could figure out how it happens, it just does."
"As interesting as this is we need to go." Inuyasha said pulling Kouga behind him. "The last thing I need right now is an angry Sesshoumaru looking for me."

Inuyasha was right because the moment they entered the ballroom Sesshoumaru was waiting at the doorway with Katsuya and Slytherin at each side. Slytherin was amused by the shock Sesshoumaru tried to hide when he got a good look at Severus. It was easy to know who it was because the Potion Master's scent never changed. Sesshoumaru walked over to Severus and offered his arm. "Shall we?"
"No." Severus ignored the arm and entered the room walking over to the far corner followed by Slytherin and Inuyasha. The hanyou was laughing the whole time.
"Man that was good." Inuyasha said still chuckling in between words. "I have never seen anyone treat Sesshoumaru like that. You have guts Snape I'll respect you for that even if Sesshoumaru is going to tear them off."
"That's disgusting Inuyasha." Slytherin made a face. "Now matter how true."
"I'm not afraid of the dog." Severus knew the demon wouldn't hurt him no matter how much he insulted him. "I don't like being tricked."
"He insulted me." Sesshoumaru said his amber eyes like glaciers.
"Don't let it bother you he insults everyone." Sirius smiled in amusement, this was going to be fun seeing Snape and the Taiyoukai battle. "That man can hurt anyone with only one word. I think he's very proud of that fact."
"Severus has always been hurt and he insults people to keep them from getting close." Remus glared at Sirius to remind him he was one of the biggest bullies of them all when it came to Snape. True Remus didn't help his friends prank the Slytherin, but he didn't stop them either. He was just as guilty and he knew it.
"We should enjoy the night." Sirius offered his arm to Kagome who took it with a smile. "Tomorrow we have to head back to the future."
"We have to try and clear your and Severus' names." Remus knew it wasn't going to be easy not with Dumbledore now against them. The old wizard wanted Harry Potter and that wasn't going to happen now not with Harry in the protection of the dog demons and wolves. Harry was safe and that's just what Remus wanted.
Sesshoumaru didn't like the thought of Severus leaving not knowing if he would return. He was going to have stopped them from going. "Surely it's safer to stay here?"
"Yes, it is, but we are needed back home." Sirius couldn't let the Death Eaters get away with what they done or the Dark Lord. If Snape was right then the Dark Lord will return and he was going to be there when it happened. "Tetsuya is protected here and that's all I care about, but the rest of us still have to fight and protect our world."
"The dog is right." Severus said having heard everything as he joined the others. "We have a duty in protecting the Wizardry World. Black, Lupin, and I are the only ones that know what's really going on. Dumbledore only cares about being the hero and he will search for Tetsuya."
"Its not he can find Tetsuya here and even if he does there is no way Dumbledore is getting him." Inuyasha's eyes flashed red at the thought of anyone taking his son away from him.
"Let's worry about the future later." Shippo could see how Katsuya and Sesshoumaru were getting angry at the thought of Severus and Remus leaving. "Lets have fun right now."
"I agree with the fox." Sirius didn't want to worry about anything tonight he only wanted to have fun and spend time with his Godson and friends. Sirius held out a hand to Kagome. "Would you like to dance?"
"Yes, I would." Kagome took Sirius' hand with a smile as the wizard led her away from the others.
"Come on, Inuyasha." Kouga grabbed Inuyasha's hand and pulled him away towards the dancing with the hanyou fighting every step of the way.
Konohamaru smiled at Shippo and held out a hand which the fox demon took with a small smile and blush. Slytherin had already left to find his mate and Katsuya had dragged Remus away to dance leaving Sesshoumaru and Severus alone. Sesshoumaru knew Severus wasn't much for crowds. "Would you like to go out to the gardens? They are beautiful this time of night."
"Yes, thank you." Severus was more then happy to get away from the ballroom even if he had to go with Sesshoumaru. The dog demon was the lesser evil.
"This way." Sesshoumaru lead the way around the dancing demons to the back of the room and the double doors that lead outside to the main garden. The demon was glad to see no one besides them were outside.
Severus had to admit that Sesshoumaru had a beautiful garden with many different and colorful flowers. He sat down on a small bench beside a white rose bush. "You have a very beautiful garden, Lord Sesshoumaru."
"Thank you." Sesshoumaru was very proud of his castle and his lands. His mother built this garden and it was Rin's favorite place in the whole castle. "Why do you want to return when there is nothing there for you in the future."
"Because I have too." It was hard to explain as to why Severus felt the need to return to the future when it held nothing but pain for him. "I still owe Dumbledore even if I do hate him. I will be needed to spy once again when the Dark Lord returns."
Sesshoumaru was used to getting his way and this time it looked like he wasn't. Perhaps he should let the wizard go and find another to be his mate. Sesshoumaru knew there were many fine full blood demons here in his castle that would love to become his and the wizard was human and didn't want anything to do with him. "Very well I'll withdraw my claim."
"I see." Severus didn't know why, but he felt hurt when the demon took back his claim. Really he shouldn't have been surprised. No one has ever wanted him for long. "You have changed your mind very quickly."
"I need a mate that will listen to my every command and stay at my side. You have your war in the future and must return to it. This is for the best." Sesshoumaru left leaving Severus alone in the garden. Severus sighed and forced his mask back on his face not knowing it even dropped before. He hated to admit it, but he was flattered that the Taiyoukai chose him as mate and was hoping Sesshoumaru would fight with him. Severus was wrong.
Inuyasha and Kouga had stepped out of the ballroom to get some air and they heard everything. Inuyasha was pissed at his brother for letting the wizard go. Severus was prefect for him. "Sesshoumaru can be so stupid at times."
"Sesshoumaru will come to his senses and realize more about Severus." Kouga grinned at his mate. "Sesshoumaru isn't the only demon interested in the Potions Master."
"Who?" Inuyasha wanted to know who would dare look at the human while he was Sesshoumaru's.
"You'll see." Kouga walked away laughing followed by his mate fuming.

Godric knew something was wrong the moment he saw his mate walk back into the ballroom. Five minutes ago Sesshoumaru had return, but there hadn't been any sign of Severus. Godric met up with his mate grabbing him by the arm and leading him out of the ballroom and up to their room. Once they were inside Godric shut the door and turned to glare at Salazar. "What's wrong, Salazar?"
"That stupid dog has taken back his claim on Severus." Salazar hissed in anger his eyes flashing red. "He is a fool."
"I'm sure Sesshoumaru has his reasons." Godric knew Salazar was protective of Severus because they were so much alike. "Why don't we ask him?"
"And what good is that going to do?" Salazar didn't understand the other Taiyoukai, it wasn't like Sesshoumaru to change his mind like that usually the dog demon always followed through with his plans. "Perhaps this is for the best since we have to worry about Tetsuya and when he comes of age. The prophecy will find him one way or the other."
"Don't you wonder about this Voldemort?" Godric thought long and hard about the evil wizard that's supposed to be his mate's heir. "We have no children as of yet and I like think that when we do they won't be evil."
Salazar had two other brother's one was his twin Talan and then there was their little brother Rylan. Now Rylan was pure evil and the little bastard believed he should be ruler of the Eastern lands. Salazar lost count of the times Rylan has tried to kill him and Talan to get control of his lands. "If Voldemort is from the Slytherin line then he's one of Rylan's."
Godric shivered at the thought of his younger brother in law. The Slytherin family disowned Rylan after he tried to kill Talan the first time, but that didn't stop the younger demon from trying. Rylan was power hungry and would do anything to get it even if it meant killing his brothers. "Rylan isn't here is he?"
"No, he is in Scotland however Talan is here." Salazar was very close to his twin and was the one that dragged the other snake demon here. "Talan seems to be interested in Severus."
Godric raised an eyebrow on that since he hadn't seen the other snake demon anywhere. He wondered is Sesshoumaru known Talan was here. "I haven't seen your twin."
"You know Talan prefers to be in the shadows." It was the truth Talan liked to watch from the shadows. Talan was the prefect spy and there were times Salazar would use his twin as a spy against an enemy.
"You can learn so many things from watching when nobody knows you're there." Godric jumped before he noticed Talan walked from where he was hiding. Godric glared at his mate's twin brother. Talan was different from Salazar with his long white hair and bright green eyes that glowed. They even acted different you would never know they were related. "By the way Salazar I believe you are right about this Voldemort being from Rylan's line. Have you seen the scar on the boy's forehead?"
"No, I haven't." Inuyasha was very protective of the child, as he should be. "Have you?"
"Yes, Kouga allowed me to have a look." Talan pulled down his hakama showing his bare shoulder and the mark of Slytherin snake demons, a bright green lighting bolt. "His scar is of our family mark. The boy also understands our snake language."
"A dog hanyou that can speak the snake language?" It just didn't make sense to Godric at all. "How can that be."
"That spell Snape did to Tetsuya did more then just change him to a dog hanyou. The boy has snake blood." Talan was impressed by the magic Snape did in order to protect Tetsuya. "Tetsuya is every special and will be very powerful with the right training. Voldemort won't have a chance against him, but when he is of age we will have to send him to the future and face his enemy."
"I believe dear brother that Tetsuya's parents, uncle, and godfather will have something to say about that." If it was up to them Tetsuya will never return to his time and face the prophecy.
Talan grinned showing his long fangs. "They won't have a choice Salazar. You can't run from you destiny."
