Chapter Six: Emotions
********************************************
A few weeks later everyone was still recovering from the battle and Naraku was extremely quiet.
*** Koga knocked on Larka's door quietly, a moment of silence was followed by a muffled, "Come in."
Koga pushed open the door and walked into the room, scanning it for Larka.
"Larka? Where are you?"
A soft "Here." came from Larka's bathroom. Koga went over and stood in the doorway. Larka was sitting on the bathroom window ceil with the window wide open. There was a breeze which made her hair waft around her head. She was a wearing a light blue silken skirt and a dark blue, sleeveless, low neckline top.
Koga walked in and came to stand beside her, his gaze intent on something outside. Larka scooted over to make room for him. Koga sat down with a sigh and leaned against the side of the window closing his eyes and taking in Larka's scent.
'Well she may not love me but she's still my friend. I guess I should be content with that.'
'I wonder if he feels the way I do?' Larka looked at the wolf demon sitting beside her and wondered what he was thinking.
She closed her eyes and started to drift off to sleep when "they" started up again. The visions she had been having ever since her encounter with Naraku. She hadn't told anyone, but they had been getting worse and more vivid. She was going to have to tell someone.
This time the visions were about someone dieing. Someone she knew, but she couldn't think of the name. Larka watched in horror as the person was slayed by Naraku and how he brought them back to life with a jewel shard and controlled them.
The next scene she was fighting this person but she couldn't do it because she cared for them. Her conscience interrupted her and said, "Just like Sango and her brother Kohaku." Larka realized the person was a man and when she saw his face she started crying. She desperately wanted to know who he was and why he was so important to her.
Koga looked over and saw tears streaming down Larka's pale face and that she was trembling. Without thinking he gently shook her awake and then held her in his arms.
Instead of pushing him away she clung onto his shirt and tried to stifle her tears. Koga's eyes widen, 'She's ok with the fact that I'm hugging her!'
Larka was to upset to really notice, but she was happy that she was in Koga's arms.
"Larka, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Larka looked up and opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Her eyes started streaming with tears again while she sat there with her mouth open trying to say something.
Koga saw how she tried to speak but couldn't so he reacted on impulse and lightly kissed her on the mouth.
She closed her mouth and sat there staring at him, quite dumbfounded.
Koga hugged her tighter, hoping that it would make the tears stop.
The tears slowly turned into even breathing as Larka drifted off to sleep.

Sesshomaru was walking through the forest towards one of his favorite thinking spots. He hated leaving Nia like that, but he had to have time to think. With a sigh he continued onward.
After several minutes he arrived at a beautiful, hidden waterfall. He leapt up onto one of the half hidden ledges and sat down to think.
About half an hour later he heard Nia calling his name, she was looking for him. Nia walked into the clearing, which held Sesshomaru's scent strongly, but she couldn't see him. She had been searching for hours and was getting tired and frustrated.
Nia plopped down on the ground and sat there, her face in her hands. She was trying to hold back the tears.
'I hate it when he wonders off like this and leaves me. I know he needs his space but doesn't he know how it makes me feel!?'
Finally the tears came. They traveled down her face, making wet lines on her pale cheeks and landing soundlessly on the soft, green grass.
Sesshomaru had watched all of this from his ledge. He was unaware that she was crying until the scent of tears reached his nose.
Sesshomaru leapt down from the ledge and landed beside Nia who was now blinded by tears of anger and sadness. Sesshomaru in-circled Nia in a protective hug and pulled her into his lap.
She looked up with surprise in her eyes. "Sesshomaru!" Nia threw her arms around his neck and buried her face in the crook of his neck.
"I'm so happy I found you! I was so worried!"
Sesshomaru was taken by surprise. "You were worried? Worried about me?"
"Yes, YOU! Baka!" More tears started streaming down Nia's face, making Sesshomaru feel guilty for leaving her like that.
"I'm sorry, but I need my time to think." He pulled her closer, breathing in her scent.
"I-I know, I was just worried that something might happen to you."
Nia looked up into his eyes, her face glistening from tears. The look she gave him made his heart melt. It was a look of love and devotion.
A look he had always secretly longed for.
She looked away trying to hide that fact that she was still crying, but he knew.
He cupped her face in his hands, making her look at him.
"Nia, please don't be sad. No matter what I promise that I will always, always love you."
Sesshomaru kissed her lightly on the mouth expecting her to pull back but she didn't. He deepened the kiss, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Nia enjoyed the thrill of that moment. This was indeed the man she loved and always would.
She kissed him back. Then after what seemed like an eternity they both came up for air.
Nia snuggled down into his lap and he circled her in his kimono sleeves and they fell asleep in the clearing, the rest of the world temporarily forgotten.
**********************************************************
Sango stormed down the castle hall in a fit of rage.
She was finally going to admit that she loved the monk when he had to grope her.
'I hate it when he does that! If he would just listen maybe we'd get along better!'
Sango went to her room without really thinking about it. Running in, she flopped down on her bed and started beating the shit out of the pillow next to her.
"Why! Why! WHY!" She screamed into the pulverized pillow, her tears streaming down her face and landing on the wrinkled bed sheets.
She finally calmed down and laid her head on the pillow, deep in thought.
Her thoughts turned into dreams as she drifted off to sleep.
*
Miroku walked slowly down the hall towards Sango's room, he wanted to apologize for being such a jerk. 'I think she was going to tell me something really important.'
Arriving at her door, he knocked gently, but was answered with silence. Miroku pushed open the door quietly. "Sango?" He looked about the room questioningly until he saw a familiar sleeping figure on the bed.
Sango awoke from her dream but didn't move, she wasn't sure she wanted Miroku to know that she was awake. 'It sounds like he's going to...apologize?!'
Sango argued with herself silently. 'No that lech wouldn't apologize unless I was going to bear his child.' 'But then again, he has changed.' She remembered the latest grope. 'Some.'
Miroku cleared his throat, "Sango I know your asleep but I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for-for groping you." He cleared his throat again, "And that I, I-I love you..."
Sango's eyes were the size of saucers. "Really? Miroku?"
Miroku looked like he wanted to die, but he choked out a "Hai."
Sango turned over and sat up, dangling her legs over the edge of the bed.
"That-that's what I was going to-to tell you..."
Now Miroku's eyes were as big as saucers. "Really...?"
Sango nodded and looked away, turning a deep red.
"Sango, will-will you bear my child?"
Instead of slapping him Sango looked him in the face and said, "One day."
Miroku's eyes lit up and he swept Sango up in a hug.
He swirled around in a circle with Sango in his arms, then set her down on her feet and looked into her eyes.
"Sango, you have no idea how much that means to me."
Miroku leaned down and kissed Sango deeply, she was so happy she didn't even notice him groping her. At first.
SLAP
"Miroku! You stupid hentai! I swear if I didn't love you, you'd be dead by now!"
Miroku turned red and started to turn away when Sango grabbed his collar and pulled him back, kissing him passionately.

Kagome was wandering through the castle garden looking for Inuyasha.
"Hey Inuyasha? Where'd you go?"
Inuyasha watched from a nearby tree, well hidden because of its think branches.
Kagome started getting worried and her call for him became more urgent, pleading even.
"What is it wench?" Inuyasha leapt down from the tree, landing next to Kagome.
"You- you were there the whole time?"
"Ya, what's it to ya?"
Kagome's eye twitched.
"You mean that I was worried for nothing!!!!!"
Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something sarcastic. Instead he asked, "You were worried? About me?" Inuyasha's eye brow was raised and he was looking at her questioningly, trying not to show his other emotions.
"YES YOU BAKA!!!!!!!"
Kagome started to say. "S-."
But was cut off when Inuyasha said, "Why would you be worried about me? It's not like you care."
Kagome turned red from anger. "Of course I care BAKA! I care because I love you and I don't want anything to happen to you!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kagome then turned a deep red from embarrassment while Inuyasha stood there in shock.
Inuyasha walked over to Kagome who was now redder than ever and took her into his arms.
"Kagome. I-I love you too..." Kagome gasped and started to fall over in shock but was caught by Inuyasha.
"W-Wait! How do I know that I'm not just a replacement for Kikyo!?!"
"No, no." Inuyasha shook his head. "No it's not like that, I want you, because of you not because you look like her. You two are totally different people, besides Kikyo is dead and its you that I love, you, not her."
Kagome nodded and leaned against his chest, still in shock. Kagome started crying, but she wasn't sure why.
"Kagome? Why are you crying?"
Kagome looked up and was about to answer that she didn't know but was cut off when Inuyasha's lips met hers.
Kagome's eyes widened with surprise, but she kissed him back. Right then nothing existed but her Inuyasha.
