Chapter Three: Naraku pays a visit
Koga looked up, suddenly sensing a change in the air, he noticed that Larka was also gone.
He raced to Larka's room, finding the door closed he started to open it, but stopped. He smelled salt water, tears. Why was she crying? He slowly opened the door, expecting to find Larka there. No one was in the room, and the balcony doors were flung wide open.
Koga walked out onto the balcony, sniffing the air for Larka's scent.
He let out a gasp and raced off to Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. He could smell Larka's scent, but there was a different smell there also. A familiar one, Naraku.
***
Larka ran through the dark forest, blinded by tears and rage. She had no idea that someone was watching, waiting.
Larka came to the waterfall where Kagome and Shippo had found her. Exhaustion hit her suddenly and she collapsed by the pool of water. To tired to move, to sad to care.
The demon smirked, she was too weak to sense him. This made the task so much easier. He jumped down from his near by perch, gliding towards Larka, like a hunter towards its prey.
***
Koga found Inuyasha and Sesshomaru discussing something in the den. They both looked up when he burst in, his face showing something was desperately wrong.
"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked, the worry in his voice well hidden.
"It's, it's Naraku!" Koga started to pace the room. "And Larka is out there, unaware that he is so close at hand!"
Sesshomaru stood up and strode out of the room. Inuyasha stood up and walked over to Koga. "Don't worry we'll find her." He said putting a strong hand on his friend's shoulder.
Inuyasha walked towards the door, "I'll get Kagome and the others, you start the search. Like Sesshomaru said, we cannot let Naraku get her. Whether she knows it or not, she had enough power to even kill Naraku. That's why he wants her." He left to get everyone.
Koga pondered what Inuyasha had said, then raced out of the room, towards Larka's. He would start the search there. Maybe he could find a clue to as to where she had gone.
***
Larka sensed someone coming towards her. 'It's a demon!!!' Her mind screamed, but she was too weak to acknowledge it. She drifted into unconsciousness.
Naraku stopped several feet away from her, a look of victory hidden by his baboon cloak. Now all he had to do was get her back to his lair and she would be his.
He bent down to pick Larka up. But when he touched her blue flame leapt up, burning him slightly. "What? What is this?" He put his hand near her again, earning the same effect.
"Even though she is unconscious her magic protects her. She is even stronger then I ever imagined."
"Not so fast. NARAKU!"
Naraku turned around, "Ah yes, I wondered when you'd get here."
Koga gasped, but kept his guard up. "What do you mean by that?"
"Oh I just had the feeling that you've become quite attached to her."
"What? But how? How do you know about......" Koga stared at him, disbelief on his face.
There was a loud rustle in the near by brush.
Koga and Naraku both turned to see Inuyasha and the others standing there, weapons ready.
Naraku let out a small laugh, "Well my dear Larka, our little chat will have to wait until another time I'm afraid."
With that, Naraku leapt up and started to hop away, only to be stopped by Sesshomaru.
"I imagine this was no social visit."
"That's for me to know and for you to find out my friend." Naraku laughed menacingly as his voice faded out, his presence slowly disappearing.
"I have a feeling that Naraku will attempt to have a few more 'visits' with our friend Larka before this is all over." Sesshomaru surveyed the group.
"Bring Larka to the castle, I hate to do this but, for now she can not go out alone."
The others began to protest, but when they saw Sesshomaru's face, they thought better of it.
Koga walked over, bent down, and picked Larka up bridle style. Everyone headed back to the castle. Inuyasha brought up the rear, he agreed with his brother, Naraku would defiantly be back.
Sesshomaru stayed behind, he wanted some time to think. He also had to talk to Koga about what he had witnessed.
After taking a final look around the area, he headed back himself. His mind deep in thought.
***
Nia had remained behind to watch after Rin and the castle. When she saw the others and Koga carrying Larka she and Rin hurried over to find out what had happened.
Larka was taken up to her room to sleep and then everyone went downstairs to hear the story.
Afterwards Nia noticed for the first time that Sesshomaru was not present. She excused herself and went off to find him.
***
Nia wandered through the castle, looking for Sesshomaru. After searching all over she was about to give up when she sensed his presence near by. Racing up the stairs to the roof of the castle, she found him staring out across the land, deep in thought.
Nia walked over tentatively, she wasn't sure what kind of mood he was in and she didn't want to really find out.
She came to stand beside, looking at his face subtly.
"Nia."
Nia looked up in surprise, "Yes, Sesshomaru?"
"What do you of our friend Larka?"
She wasn't sure what to say. She didn't really know Larka enough to judge her. "Well I'm not sure, I don't really know enough about her yet."
Sesshomaru nodded.
"But, I'd like to get to know her better."
Sesshomaru nodded a second time, than sat down and leaned back against the stone wall, his mind lost in thought again.
Nia loved him dearly but when he was thinking like this she didn't know what to do. So he sat down beside him and laid her head on his shoulder. She started to drift of to sleep when she felt something grip her hand. She opened her eyes to find her hand in his and his eyes on hers.
Nia let out a content sigh and went back to leaning on his shoulder, falling into a comfortable sleep.
Sesshomaru looked at this woman who he loved so much and sighed. He would never let anything happened to her.
***
Naraku watched all of this through Kana's mirror. "So he does care for her more then I thought." He laughed, an evil plot forming in his mind. "Perhaps through these women," he said pointing at Larka, Kagome, Nia and Sango in the mirror. "I can break the trusted alliance and turn them against each other." He let out another laugh. "Yes, yes that would work quite well. But first, I must go find a long lost 'friend'" He said, watching a figure walk through the forest in the mirror.

Nia: You know what's going to happen! You're the damn writer!!
