Chapter Five: Larka's true powers unleashed
Larka stood there facing Neara, her blue flame flaring and her battle axe ready.
She wasn't sure how she felt about Koga yet, but she sure as hell wasn't gonna let this bitch get him.
"So," Larka said through clenched teeth, "Koga said that you were dead. Exactly how was this 'wonderful' meeting made possible?"
"Oh you see it's really quite simple, the demon Urasue brought me back to life a few years ago. Her purposes still unknown to this day. But, Ha! Why should I care? All that matters is that I'm back and Koga is mine."
"I think not." Larka's blue flame glowed even brighter, her anger menacingly strong.
"Is that so!" Neara lunged towards Larka and the battle began.
Larka blocked and hit, dodging Neara's scythe. Neara did the same, watching the sharp double blade of Larka's axe.
Mean while, Nia, Sesshomaru, and the others sprang forward to help, but all fell back. Naraku's laugh rang through out the clearing. They were surrounded by a purple shield of some kind.
"What kind of trickery is this?!" Miroku yelled, shaking his fist at Naraku.
"Now, now I can't have you, interfering with them. They will fight to the death and victory will be mine at last." Naraku let out an evil laugh, 'Soon it will be all over.' he thought.
Koga watched, unable to do anything because of the force field. 'She cares for me? Maybe not as a lover, but as a friend at least?' Koga kept pondering, but looked up when he heard a loud yell.
Neara's scythe got caught on Larka's bracelet when she had swung her axe at her. 'Funny.' Koga thought I never noticed that before.
Neara smiled and began to rip the bracelet with her scythe.
"NO! YOU FOOL! Don't break it!" Naraku screamed, terror in his voice.
Everyone but the two fighting women turned to stare at him. Naraku had never shown fear before, so that bracelet must have been of great importance.
Neara ignored him and tore the bracelet in half. Nothing happened for a split second, but then a great pulse when through the air as the bracelet fell to the ground, the beads and charm scattering across the ground.
All eyes turned to the two fighting. Nothing seemed to be happening until Neara let out a scream. Fear in her eyes.
Larka's blue flame shot up around her growing so intensely bright, it blinded anyone who looked at it.
The air rang with Larka's cries, her face distorted in pain. Sweat was running down her face and into her eyes, blinding her. Her senses were magnified 100x she heard every little noise made, saw every movement no matter how slight, her nose was overpowered by all the scents, and she felt pain, just so much pain she could hardly bare it.
Neara saw that Larka was in too much pain to attack or defend. But instead of attacking, she made her way over to Koga, a sneer plastered on her, pale face, her eyes burning.
Koga come with me, come to hell. Be with me forever more!" Her sneer turned into a smirk as she saw him give a shudder.
Koga stiffened and stood up, his only protection from her was the purple force field. "NO! I refuse to go with you! You left me when I still loved me and you payed the price. I don't see why I have to pay too. Besides Kikyo tried that with Inuyasha and he is still here. So what makes you think it will work for you! Plus, my heart belongs to another." He stated, stealing a glance at Larka.
Neara's eyes filled with hate, "If you won't come willingly, I will make you come!" She brought her scythe over her head, about to kill Koga.
Larka had been watching all of this, in too much pain to move. But when she saw Neara's scythe about to strike Koga her anger boiled over and she lost it.
"NO!" Larka shot her blue flame at Neara. She was hit and flew back several hundred feet away. Before Larka could move, Neara got up and tried to towards Koga, determined on taking his life.
Larka's blue flame shot out again, this time in-circling Neara and pulling her towards Larka. All of Neara's cries were covered by Larka's. Her pain was so intense she couldn't see, feel, taste, or hear anything but pain. Her body jolted with it, a roaring in her ears that intensified the pain.
Naraku had started to retreat, but like everyone else, he stopped to watch. Anyone who was near couldn't help but become captivated by the scene before them.
Larka let out a final cry, the flame growing so intense it completely hid her and Neara. All noise ceased and the flame started to thin. Everyone was released from the spell.
Sesshomaru and Nia were side by side trying to break through the force field, as well as Kagome and Inuyasha, and Miroku and Sango. Shippo and Rin were hiding inside the castle. Locked in a room safely. Sesshomaru had ordered it and Jaken was to be their playmate/guard.
The flame finally disappeared altogether and Larka was laying on the ground, her body and clothes smoking slightly.
The force field disappeared and everyone fell forward. Nia landed on top of Sesshomaru and started blushing. This also happened to Kagome and Inuyasha. As well as to Sango and Miroku.
Nia got up saying "Gomen" quite a few times, but lost all her words when Sesshomaru took her in his arms, holding her close. Inuyasha picked up a blushing Kagome and set her down on her feet. Kagome started hugging Inuyasha tightly, who turned red, but did hug her back. Sango opened her eyes to find herself face to face with Miroku, who ironically enough, was on top of her. She slapped him and called him a "hentai".
While all of this was going on Koga ran over to Larka to see if she was injured. When he reached her side he saw several things that worried him. She had a huge gash across her ribs, her left arm was ripped open and she was breathing shallowly. He also noticed that her bracelet was back on her arm fully intact. He looked around for Neara, but there wasn't a trace left. He turned back to Larka and realized she was holding Neara's scythe.
About that time the others walked over to see if Larka was ok. Kagome went to grab her backpack with her medical supplies in it. Koga picked Larka up as gently as he could and started carrying her towards the castle. Sango, Kagome, Miroku, and Inuyasha followed. Nia started to as well, but was stopped by Sesshomaru's hand on her shoulder.
"Wait Nia, come with me, please." Nia was shocked to her the pleading in his voice and the warmness in his eyes. 'He never acts like this. She thought, 'I wonder what's wrong?'
Sesshomaru swept her up into his arms and started to run through the forest at neck-breaking speed. Nia was a bit panicked at how fast he was going and clung onto his Kimono tightly and buried her face in his chest.
Sesshomaru was taking her to one of his favorite spots in the mountains. He looked down at for her a second and saw her looking up at him. He could hardly take it, her eyes always took his breath away. 'She is the one,' He thought, 'This is the woman I love.'
He sped onward, holding her close and enjoying every minute of it. Nia always got lost in his eyes. She loved this man so much, but did he love her in return? It seemed like it, but she could never tell. His face was almost always emotionless. A sigh escaped Nia as sleep over took her. Sesshomaru looked down and his eyes glowed, he loved her more then he could ever express in words.
***
Koga took Larka up to her room, followed by Kagome and Sango. He left them to treat her while he went and spoke to Inuyasha.
He found Inuyasha on the castle roof. "Inuyasha?"
"What?"
"I have a feeling Naraku still has another trick up his sleeve."
"Yeah I agree, something is still up, he retreated way to easyly."
"You thought so too?"
"Feh, I don't like it. He is defiantly up to something. But the big question is, what?"
Inuyasha and Koga headed back down to find Miroku and check on Larka.
That monk had been quiet for way to long, he was up to something himself
