Love Can Over Come All Odds

Chapter 12. In Your Arms

"They what?!" Koga screamed. "Again?!"

"I'm sorry. I . . ." Daka began.

"How?! How is it that you always manage to loose your own damned kids?!"

"She doesn't loose them!" Shikka said in Iyudaka's defense. "They run to get away from *you*!" Shikka said getting into Koga's face. That was a big mistake.

"What did you say you little bitch?!" Koga said as he positioned his hand to it Shikka.

"No! Koga don't!" Iyudaka screamed but it was too late. Koga beat Shikka just like he had beaten her so many times before. Shikka would not shed a tear. But Daka cried for her friend also knowing when Koga was done with Shikka he would come after her.

*Don't worry, Daka, I'll get you out of this mess. No matter what!* Shikka thought as she escaped with Damah and Nukka.

*~*~*

*Something's not right. Shikka, I know you were there watching today. I . . . I can feel your pain. Are you alright?*

"Hey, Kurama, you alright?"

"Yes, Yusuke, I'm alright."

"Ok, whatever." Yusuke said and went back to the couch where the others were.

"Kurama."

"You sensed it to, Hiei?"

"Hmm." Hiei nodded.

"I get that feeling a lot lately." Kurama said sadly.

"As though you're in pain?" Hiei asked bluntly.

"Yes, does it mean that you and I could have some sort of . . . bond with them?"

"I don't know."

"Papa?"

"Rayven you're supposed to be in bed."

"I know, Papa, but I'm worried about Momma and Aunt Shikka."

*~*~*

"Nukka, where are you going?" Shikka asked curiosity getting the best of her. She felt like they were in the middle of no where.

"Yes Nukka do tell." Damah said raising an eye brow at her mate.

"I know where to find Hiei and Kurama."

"Well to bad! I never want to see him again as long as I live!"

"As much as I hate to say this I agree with Nukka. Hiei and Kurama could help in this Daka/Koga situation." Damah said afraid of how Shikka would react.

"What?!"

"They can help. Think about it."

"I guess." Shikka said giving in.

"Good, they're in the hotel up there." Nukka informed.

*~*~*

*Knock, knock.*

"Now who could that be at this time of night?" Yusuke said as he walked to the door. "Yeah?"

"Is Yo . . . I mean is Kurama here?"

"Shikka?! My gosh, Shikka, what happened?!" Kurama asked as he saw how beat up and bloody she was.

"I . . . it's a long story."

"Come, let's get you fixed up and you can tell us what happened." Kurama said as he helped Shikka to the couch. After Shikka was bandaged up she and Kurama sat in silence.

"Red I . . ."

"Shhh Kura', I understand. I just wish you would have told me the truth."

*~*~*

"You think they know each other?" Kuwabara asked Yusuke as they watched Kurama and Shikka.

"Have you two no decency? It's obvious they want to be alone." Hiei said scolding the two teenagers.

"Well do they?" Yusuke asked.

"They knew each other . . . a long time ago." The two fighters felt satisfied with Hiei's answer and left to go to bed.

*~*~*

"I am sorry. I just didn't want you to hate me."

"Hate you?! Kura' I could never hate you. There's something I never got to tell you."

"I know, Red, I know." Kurama said and held Shikka close.

"It's good to be in your arms again Kura'."

"Mmm hmm."

"Kura'?"

"Mmm?"

"I love you."

"I love you too Shikka. I love you too."
