A New Life

A/N: I decided to bring Remus into the fic and I plan to pair him up with Katsuya. Shippo will be paired up with Konohamaru.

Chapter Eight:


Katsuya gave a sigh of relief when he saw Sesshoumaru approach the gates with three humans following behind the Taiyoukai. "Where have you been, Sesshoumaru?"

"I had business to attend too, Katsuya." Sesshoumaru stopped in front of the wolf demon. "Where is my brother and nephew?"

"In the garden with my son." Katsuya was pleased at how close Kouga and Inuyasha has been getting. Soon they will become mates and he would get grandpups. "Slytherin and his mate Gryffindor arrived while you where away."

"Slytherin?" Severus turned his attention to Katsuya, he wondered if this Slytherin was one of the four founders of Hogwarts. "Salazar Slytherin?"

Katsuya studied the tall human; he reeked of magic like Gryffindor and Slytherin. "Yes, the snake demon Lord of the Eastern Lands."

"You don't think it's two of the four founders do you, Snape?" Sirius wouldn't believe it because there was no way Godric Gryffindor would become the mate of a demonic Slytherin. It was all a misunderstanding.

Severus smirked; he read some of the old books about Salazar Slytherin in the Headmaster's office. Slytherin was indeed a snake demon and he did take Gryffindor as his mate. And it was around this time when both Slytherin and Gryffindor disappeared from the Wizardry World. "It is them, Black. "It is them, Black." Severus looked up at Sesshoumaru. "I would like to meet them after we see your brother and Tetsuya."

Sesshoumaru nodded once. "After you are settled in. I'll have Jaken show you to your rooms."

"Here I am Sesshoumaru-sama!" Severus and Sirius watched as a small green creature ran up to the Taiyoukai. Severus guessed the creature to be some type of frog demon or an imp. If it had big ears it could have passed as a house elf.

"Jaken show my guests to rooms in the Southern wing of the castle." Sesshoumaru ordered.

The Southern Wing is where Sesshoumaru's room is located and where he places that he considers family and friends. Rin and her husband Kohaku have a room as does Katsuya and his son Kouga. Konohamaru and Inuyasha with his son Tetsuya also have rooms in the Southern wing. Jaken was confused as too why Sesshoumaru-sama wanted these humans so close to him. The miko he could understand since she was a friend of Inuyasha. The other two didn't make any sense.

"Follow me." Jaken lead the humans into the castle.

Katsuya after watching the humans leave turned his attention to his host. "What's with the humans, Sesshoumaru?"

"The smaller male was Tetsuya's human parents best friend he wishes to see the pup." Sesshoumaru watched, as Katsuya's eyes narrowed, like him the wolf was protective over the pup.

"Does he plan to take, Tetsuya?" Katsuya would kill the human before he let that happen. Tetsuya was apart of his pack and his son cared for the pup. It would break Kouga's heart if something happened to Tetsuya and Katsuya would not let that happen.

"No, he only wants to visit with Tetsuya." Sesshoumaru didn't trust the human, but he knew the human called Snape would keep the other in check.

Katsuya hoped the Taiyoukai knew what he was doing. "We better tell Kouga and Inuyasha about their new guests."

Sesshoumaru didn't answer only made his way to the huge garden located in the back. They found Inuyasha, Kouga, and Kohaku sitting on a blanket watching Shippo chase Tetsuya around. Rin was napping in her husband's lap and Konohamaru was leaning against a tree reading a book. Sesshoumaru had a healer ready in case Rin went into labor. She didn't have long to go. Sesshoumaru sat near his brother while Katsuya sat next to his son.

"Something the matter, father?" Kouga knew that look on his father's face.

"The miko from the future has arrived with two other humans." Sesshoumaru began before Inuyasha cut him off.

"Kagome is here?" Inuyasha was glad to be able to see his friend again after so long, but he was afraid to lose Kouga's attention. The wolf demon has become a friend to him and Tetsuya. More then a friend Tetsuya was becoming very close to Kouga. Inuyasha's demon blood tells him the wolf demon is his true mate.

"The two males she brought with her knew Tetsuya's blood parents." Katsuya filled in before Sesshoumaru could.

"They're not taking him." Kouga growled his eyes flashing red.

"They're here to visit with Tetsuya, Kouga." Katsuya wanted to calm his son down.

Inuyasha laid a hand on Kouga's shoulder settling him down. "Tetsuya isn't going anywhere."

"They won't be able to take Tetsuya not with how protective you two are over the pup." Kohaku and Konohamaru had to keep Kouga from killing a rabbit demon for sneering at Tetsuya because of his human blood. Konohamaru forced the rabbit from the Western Lands with his life. He was lucky that Sesshoumaru wasn't home or the Taiyoukai would have torn the rabbit apart. He didn't take insults to his family very well.

Inuyasha grunted when Tetsuya threw himself into his lap. The pup has grown a lot because of his demon blood. He looked like he was four instead of one. Tetsuya could speak and soon Inuyasha would start his training.

"Papa, I made Shippo tired." Tetsuya giggled snuggling into his papa's fire rat robe.

"The pup doesn't know when to quit." Shippo flopped on his back.

Kouga smirked and ruffled Tetsuya's long hair being careful of his dog-ears. "He's going to be a force to be reckon with once he's trained."

Tetsuya beamed up at the wolf. "Yep, I'm real strong papa says so."

"That you are pup." Katsuya winked at him.

"I heard you guys talking about Kagome." Shippo asked sitting back up looking at Inuyasha.

"Kagome is here with two other humans." Kouga told Shippo leaning against the tree behind him.

"Really!" Shippo jumped up full of energy and ran to the castle. Konohamaru looked up from his book and smiled.

Inuyasha stood up with Tetsuya in his arms. "Let's get this over with." He walked to the castle at a much slower pace then the kitsune.

Kagome left her room having put up what little stuff she brought with her away. She fell on the ground when she was attacked by a blur.

"Kagome! I've missed you so much." Kagome was pulled into a hug. She smiled when she saw it was Shippo. The kitsune has grown so much since the last time she seen him. Shippo was now older no longer a child with his long red hair he wore down his back. He grown out of his fox feet and he had three fox tails swinging behind him. Kagome was proud of what she saw.

"I've missed you too, Shippo." Kagome hugged the kitsune back.

"Kagome are you alright?" Sirius left his room in time to see Kagome pushed to the floor. He glared at the demon.

Kagome nodded still smiling. "Oh, I'm fine Sirius-san. I want you to meet my friend Shippo. Shippo this is my new friend Sirius Black."

"It's nice to meet you Sirius-san." Shippo smiled at the human showing his fangs. He was glad to see that Kagome had a protector.

Sirius went to the room across from his and banged on the door loudly. "Hey Snape come out there is someone here you need to meet."

Severus yanked open the door and gave Black his best death glare. "Is there a reason as to why you've decided to try and knock my door down?"

"Sirius only wanted you to meet my friend Shippo, Snape." Kagome caught Snape's attention.

Severus nodded a greeting to the kitsune. "Severus Snape, pleasure I'm sure." He sneered.

This human was just full of laughs. Shippo frowned wondering why Kagome brought these men here and why Sesshoumaru allowed it. He noticed Inuyasha making his way to them with Tetsuya in his arms. Kouga and Sesshoumaru were at his side with Katsuya and Konohamaru walking behind them.

"It's good to see you, Kagome." Inuyasha's smile was sad as he looked at his old friend. "How have you been?"

"I've been good." Kagome noticed the kid in her friend's arms. "So that's your son Tetsuya?"

"Yeah, he is." Inuyasha looked down at his son with love in his gold eyes.

Sirius looked upon his godson he was different from the last time he saw him. Harry Potter the son of James and Lilly Potter was now Tetsuya the half-blood son of Inuyasha. Harry looked older and you could see how strong his demon blood was with his dog like ears. Still Harry's new appearance didn't change Sirius's feelings for the boy. "May I hold him?"

Inuyasha studied the human and noticed the love within the human's eyes. This man didn't want to take Tetsuya away he only wanted to love him and spend time with him. "Yes, you can."

Tetsuya blinked when his papa handed him over to the human. He touched the man's face. "I know you. You're Padfoot you used to bring my sweets."

Sirius felt tears in his eyes. Harry remembered him everything was going to be fine. Sirius was sure of it.
