******************************************************************
Chapter Four: A familiar face, painful memories, a cold smile
Naraku literally hopped through the woods in his baboon cloak. He had to find "her".
He had killed "her" years ago, but Urasue had brought her back to life. Back then he could have cared less. But now, he was quite thankful that she had.
Unfortunately Urasue had been killed, but no matter, she had brought "her" back. That's all that counted.
Now all he had to was find "her" and give her some jewel shards and his plan would be set into motion.
"Naraku!"
Naraku turned around in surprise, but all emotion was hidden by his baboon cloak.
"Ah, I see you have found me instead of the other way around." Smiling he approached the figure hidden in the shadows.
"Yes, I had heard you were looking for me. What is it exactly that you want?" The figure stepped forward, her pale face gleaming in the moonlight.
"I think I have news that may interest you."
Raising an eyebrow, she asked, "Oh really, about what exactly?"
"It's about..." Naraku smirked as he said the name, "Koga."
Her eyes grew wide, "Koga." She breathed.
"Come with me and I shall tell you more."
She nodded and they set off towards Naraku's lair.
***
Koga was worried about Larka, but he thought it wise to take a look around the castle before checking in on her.
***
Shippo had not seen Larka since they had met in the dining hall and he was eager to see her again. Ignoring Kagome's orders, he ran down through the castle towards Larka's room. He found her door wide open. "Huh that's odd, she doesn't seem the type to leave her door open, unless she's in trouble!"
Shippo ran into her room, panicking. "Larka! Larka! Are you alright?!"
"Yes Shippo I'm fine."
Shippo looked around for her and noticed the balcony doors open. He went outside and found Larka staring at the moon.
"Larka?"
"Yes, Shippo?"
"Is something the matter?"
Larka let out a sigh and turned to face the kitsune. "No it's...it's just painful memories. I just miss my parents and........" Larka turned away and stared out into the darkness.
"And who?" asked Shippo, his voice filled with worry and curiosity.
"N-No one." Larka's voice stumbled over the words. 'She shouldn't be thinking of him, he's gone and he's not coming back. It doesn't matter anymore, besides I have a new life here.'
They both lapsed into silence. Each deeply lost in their own thoughts.
***
"So let me get this straight, you're saying that he, he found someone new? He loves someone else?!"
Naraku nodded, this was good, she is getting angry just like he had hoped. Now all he has to do is introduce his plan to her, and victory would come easily.
***
Kagome and Sango walked through the garden, guided by the moonlight.
"Sango, do you think that Larka is trustworthy?"
"Yes I think so, but why do you ask Kagome?"
"Well she asked me that earlier today? She said that no one had trusted her before because she was a half-breed."
Sango's eyes grew wide, "Wow that's a lot like Inuyasha's case, don't you think?"
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking."
The continued to walk through the garden, speaking briefly about the day's events.
***
Inuyasha was talking with Miroku when Sesshomaru and Nia walked in.
"Inuyasha, Miroku, there are things we need to discuss."
Sesshomaru walked out of the room towards his study, Nia started tofollow.
"No, Nia. I want you to go check on Larka and then find Koga and bring him to me. I will be in the study discussing things with Miroku and Inuyasha."
Nia nodded and headed to Larka's room.
***
Koga decided that Naraku was no where near and headed back to the castle. "That bastard better not lay a hand on my Larka." Koga growled to the forest around him.
Reaching the castle he was greeted by Jaken. "Good evening Lord Koga."
Koga brushed past him, muttering something about Naraku.
He headed towards Larka's room, his pace unusually slow. He walked into her room without even noticing it.
"Oh hi Koga."
Koga looked up surprised to find Nia, Shippo, and Larka sitting on the bed, talking.
"Oh, hi Nia, Shippo, Larka."
"Larka how are you feeling" Koga asked as he approached the group.
"Eh, I'm ok, just really tired."
"Ok good."
"Oh yeah Koga. Sesshomaru wants to see you." Nia stood up and started to walk towards the door.
"He's in the study talking to Inuyasha and Miroku."
Koga looked at Larka a bit longingly, but followed Nia out the door and down to the study.
***
"Kagome?"
"Hmm?"
"I think Koga has something for Larka." Sango let out a giggle.
"Yeah, it's pretty obvious, don'tcha think?"
Kagome and Sango walked back towards the castle, still giggling about Koga and Larka.
***
"What is it Sesshomaru?"
"What exactly did you witness when you found Naraku and Larka."
"Eh, well....."
Koga told them all he had seen and then headed back to Larka's room.
***
"Larka? Larka are you in here?" 'Well that was a stupid question.' Koga told himself. Of course she was in her room, he could smell her. He walked inside, shutting the door behind him. He called her name again.
"Yeah, I'm here." Larka whispered. 'I don't know why, but I'm sort of drawn to him. Larka had been standing in the center of the room, but when she saw Koga she let out a sigh and plopped down on the rug. A defeated look on her face.
Koga stood there, confused and worried. "Larka, what's wrong?"
Larka looked up at him then held her face in her hands. "J-Just everything!" She burst into tears, her body shaking from her sobs.
Koga's eye twitched and he went over to Larka. "Larka it's ok. I'm here for you." Koga said comfortingly, putting on arm around her. He pulled her into a hug, hoping she wouldn't turn away.
She didn't. Larka was just so fed up with it, and he seemed nice. 'Maybe just maybe he can heal the pain.' Larka let out and sigh and leaned into his arms, forgetting everything else, she drifted off to sleep.
***
At mornings first light Naraku and "her" set off. They were headed towards Sesshomaru's and Inuyasha's castle. They were ready.
*
Sesshomaru looked up, the air had grown thick. Something was coming.
Kagome burst into the room yelling, "There's a bunch of Shikon shards heading this way. FAST!"
Inuyasha ran in yelling that he sensed something.
"Alert the others. Quickly!" Sesshomaru strode out of the room in search of Nia. They would need her Miko powers, as well as Kagome's.
*
When they reached the castle they found everyone there, ready and waiting.
Sesshomaru was about to speak but was cut off by a loud gasp from Koga.
"You! You're supposed to be dead!"
Everyone turned to see who he was talking about.
There was a beautiful she-wolf demon, dressed in an outfit much like Larka's except it was completely yellow, she had honey brown hair and was holding a large scythe.
She let out a cold laugh, "Yes my dear, I have returned to claim you at last."
"What? What are you talking about? YOU left me! Not the other way around!"
She laughed again, and turned towards Larka. "And you! You will not stand in my way. Koga is mine!"
Larka looked at her in confusion. But held her black battle axe ready, blue flame surrounding her.
Larka rose from the ground in anger, her blue flame growing brighter by the second.
"I don't know who you are or where you came from, but you will touch none of my friends." Larka's eys narrowed, "And that includes Koga!"
"Hahaha, how rude of me, I didn't even introduce myself. I am Neara! Koga was my lover before I was killed and I have come back claim him."
"WHAT!? Now wait just a minute! You left me for somebody 'better' and then you were killed before I could try to win you back. But guess what! I don't want you back now!"
"I know my dear, it's because of that wretched thing." She pointed at Larka. "But no matter she can be easily destroyed. Then nothing will stand in between you and me."
Through all of this everyone else had just been staring, Naraku himself had been watching a satisfied smirk on his face. 'Yes, everything is going according to plan.'
Larka stepped forward to challenge Neara. 'I'm not sure how I feel about him, but I refused to let some cold, dead bitch have him."
