Punkwolfdemon: Hey, time for chapter two. I hope you like it. Well let's get on with it.

********************************************************************

Kagome walked into the room, surprised to find a dark, blue wolf sleeping on the carpet. "Where did Larka go?" She wondered. Kagome walked toward the closet with a bundle of clothes. She tripped over the edge of the rug by accident, landing with a crash on the floor.

When she opened her eyes, the blue wolf was standing up, looking at her intently. Kagome opened her mouth to scream, but closed it as a blue flame surrounded the wolf, a few seconds later, there stood Larka. "Who are you and why am I here?" She asked loudly.

"My name is Kagome. You are at Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Inuyasha's castle." Kagome plainly stated. "They both wish for you to stay here for a while and maybe live here permanently." Kagome said as she walked over to the closet, and started hanging up clothes.

Kagome turned to see Larka sitting on the carpet looking confused and lost. "Um Larka, would you like to tour the grounds?" Larka looked up at her in shock. "How, how do you know my name, and why do they want me here?!"

Kagome sat down on the bed and told her everything she knew. Then told her about all the people at the castle, including all of her friends. She told all about how Inuyasha and Sesshomaru came to rule the land together and all that had happened before that. When she had finished she go up to go, but turned and looked at Larka once more. Who was sitting on the balcony rail, absorbing all of this.

"Kagome?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think I am trustworthy?"

"What do you mean Larka?"

"Well, before this no one ever took me in or trusted me. So I've pretty much depended on myself since I was eight."

Kagome smiled warmly. "Larka, I think you may turn out to be one of my best friends." "There is everything you need to reside here now, in your room. If you need or want something else just ask me or one of my friends." Kagome turned to leave.

"Uh Kagome?"

"Hmm?"

"Thanks."

Kagome smiled again, then left, closing the door behind her.

***

Kagome walked down the hall, smiling to herself. "Larka is really nice from what I can tell, maybe a bit wary of people. But still, with friendship and maybe starting a new life, she'll turn out fine."

Kagome reached the dinning hall and turned down another hallway, heading toward her own bedroom, when Koga sped up looking excited and worried. "Um Koga, can I help you?"

"Yeah, how is she?"

"Who? Larka?"

"Yeah."

"She good, I think it's safe for everybody to meet her. She is up in her room now. But don't bother her.

"Ok, but can I meet her later?"

"Yeah, I think that'd be great."

"Good!" Koga runs down the hall, acting unusually happy. He had been rather depressed ever since his first girlfriend left him then got killed before he could win her back.

Koga headed towards his room, thinking about a certain wolf demon. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru had given him his own room, so he could stay here whenever he wanted to.

***

Larka explored the room again, taking note of all the things that had appeared since she had woken last. There was paper and many other things in the desk. The closet was full of clothes like Kagome had been wearing and then clothes that Larka had seen village women wear. She wandered into the bathroom, her nose intent on finding the sweet smell that had spread through out her room with the slight breeze. She noticed that there were many strange bottles and other things, then she found all the vases of different flowers. The scent growing intense as she got nearer them.

Larka decided to take a bath and change her clothes later. She wanted to meet everyone first. She followed Kagome's scent down to her room and found Kagome sitting outside on the balcony.

"Hey Kagome."

"Oh hey Larka. Whatcha up to?"

"Well I was wondering, could I meet the others now?"

"Yeah! That's a great idea!" Kagome jumped up full of enthusiasm .

"Let's go!" She cried and grabbed Larka's hand. Pulling her out the door and down the hall.

***

Several minutes later everyone had been gathered into the dining hall. They all looked around wondering what was going on. Then in walked Kagome, practically dragging a very shy Larka.

"I don't want to!!" Larka whispered, fear and shyness showing in her voice.

"But you said you wanted to earlier." Said Kagome dragging her forward.

"Yeah, before I realized there were so many people!" She practically screamed.

"Aw Larka don't worry!" Kagome smiled warmly, but kept her death grip on her.

Finally she dragged Larka into the dining hall. "Everybody this is Larka." Cried Kagome beaming, while holding a struggling and now blushing Larka by the wrist.

Sesshomaru stepped forward. "Hello, Larka. I am Lord Sesshomaru."

Larka managed timid smile and a nod.

Inuyasha then came forward. "Hi Larka, I'm Lord Inuyasha, but just call me Inuyasha please." A warm smile on his face, but a demon glint in his eye. If she remembered right, he was Kagome's mate.

A beautiful girl, holding a fox demon in her arms walked up. "Hi!" She said, full of energy. "My name's Sango and this is Shippo." She said holding up the little kitsune. "HI LARKA!" Yelled the little fox, then he leaped into Larka's arms. "I really hope you stay here Larka, you seem so nice.

A huge smile appeared on Larka's face and she spoke for the first time in front of everyone. "Thanks Shippo. I just might."

Then Miroku stepped forward. "Lady Larka, it is a pleasure to meet you." He said holding out his hand. Larka didn't take it, she used the fact that she was holding Shippo as an excuse. Something about this monk didn't seem right.

Sango and Larka went deep into conversation. Kagome watched them thinking, "Well that went way better then I thought it would." She walked over to Inuyasha to talk.

Several seconds later, a very LOUD scream was heard, coming from Larka. Followed by a bright blue light and then several loud noises.

"Miroku! I knew there was something funny about you! You pervert!" Roared Larka, who now held a black battle axe, she also had midnight blue wings and her outfit had gone completely midnight blue.

Everyone turned to stare at this strange event. Miroku was now cowering in the corner.

Larka calmed herself and transformed back to her normal form. Then walked out saying, "I'll be in my room if you need me." Acting like nothing had happened.

At this point Miroku fell over anime style, relief on his face. Sango had been holding in laughter, but she let it out and the hall rang with it.

Sesshomaru spoke up, speaking mainly to Kagome, "You see what I mean about her forms and powers?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The Koga sped in, "Did I miss something?"

"Um yeah, where were you? Larka just went back to her room after meeting everybody."

"WHAT?" Koga then fell over anime style. Everyone else sweat dropped.

"Hey wait a minute where's Nia and Rin?" said Miroku.

Everyone shook their head, no one knew.

***

Nia and Rin where skipping through the garden, unaware that they were suppose to be at the dining hall.

***

Back in her room, Larka sat on the bed breathing hard, trying to calm down. That perverted monk had stirred her fighting instincts and she had almost lost control.

"Maybe a nice bath would calm me." Said to herself and wandered towards the bathroom.

She turned on the water, letting fill the tub, while it was doing that she went into the closet. Looking at all the clothes to choose from.

((Kagome brought a lot of stuff from her era, back, so that's why they have stuff like the bathtub. Just thought you'd like to know. ^_^))

Larka found a dark blue skirt that went just above her knees, and a dark blue spaghetti top, that showed off her midsection. Larka took the clothes into the bathroom, closing the door slightly, she wanted the breeze to come in.

Larka got out of her regular clothes, intending to wash them later. She stepped into the tub letting the warm water sooth her injury and her emotions. She had added lavender bubble bath so she was completely hidden except for her head peeking above the bubbles. Larka dunked down wetting her hair, then came up and began to scrub vigorously, causing her hair to shine and glow in the after noon sunlight.

***

"I can't believe I missed her!" Koga yelled at him self, heading towards Larka's room. He wanted to introduce himself. But he warned himself not to scare her, he liked her a lot already, and that was because of her looks alone. He couldn't wait to get to know her personally.

Koga stopped at her bedroom door, finding it open ever so slightly he opened it quietly and stepped inside. The whole room smelled like Larka, which sent Koga into a frenzy of an emotion he couldn't identify.

He looked around the room, "Hmm, she's not here?" But then he heard splashing noises coming from the bathroom and he smelled lilac soap. He knew he shouldn't but he couldn't help himself.

Koga walked quietly over to the door and peeked inside. He blushed deeply and told himself to turn around but, his feet stayed glued to the floor and he couldn't help but stare.

He stood there for several minutes before she noticed him.

Sensing someone watching her, Larka turned to find a wolf demon staring at her.

She let out one of the loudest screams ever and shot blue flame at him, his tail catching on fire. Then using her blue flame again, she slammed the door shut on him.

Koga yelped and fell over anime style, too shocked to move.

Several seconds later Larka ran out in her regular clothes, forgetting the other clothes for the moment. She shot out the room, leaving a very surprised Koga on the floor, his tail still on fire slightly.

Larka changed into her full wolf form and sped down the hall full speed. After several turns she ran into a huge bedroom and hide under the bed in embarrassment.

***

Nia walked into Sesshomaru's and her bedroom, she saw a blue tail sticking out from under the bed. Being in a playful mood she gave the tail a tug.

Larka let out another huge scream and jumped up, hitting her head on the bottom of the bed. Which made Nia scream.

Sesshomaru rushed in to find Larka and Nia sitting on the floor screaming for some reason.

Then Kouga ran in and stood beside Sesshomaru in shock.

Larka suddenly stopped, and turned to look at Koga and Sesshomaru. Nia also stopped and turned to look.

Nia jumped up and ran over to Sesshomaru, yelling, "WHO IS THAT?"

Larka changed into her regular form and sat down on the floor in confusion.

Rin then came skipping in, seeing Larka on the floor, she ran over and started to pet her tail.

She had no idea how to react, so Larka curled her tail around her and hid behind it.

"Rin, Nia, come." Sesshomaru ordered and walked out of the room. He was followed by a skipping Rin and a confused Nia.

Koga was left standing there, across from him was a scared and confused Larka, hiding behind her tail.

***

Sesshomaru took Nia and Rin outside, then told them about Larka.

***

"Who is that??" Larka thought, as she watched Koga from behind her tail.

Koga watched Larka intently, "She's so cute with her tail like that." Koga was almost scaring himself, he never had thoughts like this! What was going on?!

Larka decided it would be safest to let him approach her, she was still really jumpy from her encounter with Nia and Rin.

Koga walked over to her slowly, not wanting to scare her again. When he was about three feet away from her, he stopped and sat down.

"S-sorry for spying on you......." Koga said as he looked away blushing awkwardly.

He looked up expecting to see a mad faced Larka, but all he saw was a pair of aqua blue eyes looking out from behind a bushy dark blue tail.

"What happened to the fierce, fiery eyed Larak that had set his tail on fire?" he wondered.

He looked at the ground, waiting for her to say something.

But she didn't.

Koga was getting frustrated. Why wasn't she talking?

He looked up again, and saw why. She was sitting there with her knees pulled up to her chest, her tail curled around her feet. Her head was resting on her knees and her arms were wrapped around her, as if she was trying to protect herself from something. Koga looked to her face and saw something that made a cross between love and sadness stir in him. Her face was wet with tears and more were streaming down from her half closed eyes.

Koga didn't know what to do. He couldn't just stand there. "Do something!!!" his mind screamed.

Koga wanted to hold her, to tell her everything was ok, but he was afraid. Exactly what he was afraid of, he wasn't sure. So he did what he thought he could do. He talked. He talked about everything. About his friends, his life, the castle. Then he hit a sore spot of his own, he was going to change the subject, but he thought maybe it would be better to finally talk about it. He started telling her the story of his first girlfriend and what happened to her.

Larka listened intently, but she remained hidden behind her tail, too afraid to show herself. When he started talking about his girlfriend, her heart opened up a bit and she felt really sad for him.

Koga dropped off into silence, sadness wrapping around his heart. He completely forgot about Larka, his mind numb from the pain of remembrance.

Larka didn't know what to do? To talk to him or comfort him or what. Finally she got up and walked softly.

Once in the hall, she ran full speed to her room. Slamming the door behind her, she fell to the floor and burst out into heart breaking sobs. Why should she care if he was hurt? He's just a stupid wolf who spied on her!

With that thought, she leapt up and ran onto the balcony. Then she jumped off the railing and sped off into the night. She had to get away from it all, at least for a while.
