Chapper 6:
Linde's Reason

Sesshomaru was sitting on a rock outside the wolf demon's cave staring of into space as usual. His attention was distracted when he heard a familiar whining voice. Sesshomaru looked down to see Jaken climbing out of a lake.

"So what did she do to you this time?" Sesshomaru asked him nonchalantly.
"SHE STUCK ME IN THE WATERFALL!" Jaken shrieked.
"Okay." Sesshomaru replied and continued to stare off into space.

Linde turned around and grinned. Her grin faded slowly as she saw the expressions on the wolf demon's faces.

"What?" she asked innocently.
"Uh, Koga how did you meet her?" Hakaku asked.
"Well she hit me over the head." Koga admitted.
"SHE WHAT!" the wolf demons shouted.

Linde smiled.

"It's true, she did." Sango supported.
"It was very funny." Miroku muttered.
"Why thank you Miroku," Linde cried shaking his hand. "I like him. He has a great sense of humor."

Inuyasha and Koga stared at her.

"HOW COME YOU LIKE HIM MORE THAN US!" they shouted simultaneously.
"I think that's obvious," Linde replied. "He may be a lecherous monk but he's got a great sense of humor. One that I agree with."
"Yeah, only because he likes your sense of humor." Inuyasha muttered.
"Oh are you jealous?" Miroku asked flashing his great smile.

Koga and Inuyasha fell silent.

"Alright Koga, do you want to know why I decided to drag them over here?" Linde asked. "No." Koga denied.
"Don't deny it, you know I'll find out anyway." Linde snapped.
"Fine, tell me." Koga relented.
"Obviously part of it was just to torture you." Linde told him.
"I knew it." Koga muttered.

Linde grinned.

"Okay Linde get to the point." Inuyasha ordered.
"Fine fine, alright, do you know anything about Naraku?" Linde asked.
"Why are you so interested in Naraku all of a sudden?" Koga asked.
"I'm not going to answer that question." Linde replied.
"ANSWER THE QUESTION DAMMIT!" Koga shouted.
"No."
"Fine."
"Well, have you heard any interesting rumors about a moronic demon that dresses like a monkey? Any weird news from other demons?"
"Umm….not that I know of."

Linde fell silent and glared at him.

"Well you're no help." Linde snapped impatiently.
"Wait, I think I heard one." Hakuku volunteered.
Linde's attention immediately snapped on Hakaku."Talk."
"Well, it was a few days ago wasn't it Ginta?" Hakaku asked Ginta.
"Yeah it was, " Ginta agreed. "We met up by coincidence with a wolf demon from another tribe. He said that he had seen some demon wench on a feather up by a mountain that had a rather large castle on it."
"Kagura." Inuyasha growled."Who's Kagura?" Linde asked.
"She's one of Naraku's incarnations." Miroku explained.
"Oh, well now we know what to look for, but which direction?" Linde continued.
"No idea he left a few minutes later without saying one thing about the direction." Hakaku replied.
"Damn." Linde swore.
"Linde, you're awfully interested in Naraku all of a sudden, why?" Kagome asked.
"Well, I don't see all of you being able to kill him any time soon and besides you and Inuyasha won't be able to get together until you kill him." Linde replied nonchalantly.

Kagome turned bright red. "Linde, there has got to be another reason." She muttered.
"Nope." Linde lied.
"And there again, you have most likely lied Linde." said a familiar voice.
"Sesshomaru, did you have to come back in?" Inuyasha asked.
"I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see Linde humiliate you." Sesshomaru replied.
"My, my, you obviously believe me to be a conniving liar." Linde grinned mischievously.
"Linde, we already know that you lie," Koga stated. "ALL THE TIME!"
"I do?"
"Yes."

Linde shrugged her shoulders.

"Sesshomaru, did Jaken come out of the lake again?" Linde asked.
"What did you think he would do?" Sesshomaru replied calmly.
"Good, then I'll be able to put him in the waterfall again." Linde cried gleefully with an awfully chipper smile on her face.
"She's acting way to chipper." everyone thought with foreboding.
"I think I'll go torture him." muttered Linde grinning evilly.

Linde walked out of the cave laughing quietly in a rather evil manner. Everyone sweatdropped.

Later that evening….

Linde was still outside and Jaken had long since returned inside covered in bruises and soaking wet. The group, besides Sesshomaru (who had decided to go outside with Linde), was speaking with Koga wondering about Linde's reason.

"Do you guys get the feeling that Linde's hiding something from us?" Kagome asked.
"Obviously." Inuyasha snapped.
"Well, Linde's never said anything about where she comes from, who her parents were, and what happened to her people," Sango pointed out. "She keeps mainly to herself. Especially about herself."
"The only one that she's truly comfortable with is Sesshomaru." Miroku said.
"That is true, but I don't think she's ever said anything about herself to him." Inuyasha said.
"Why not?" Kagome asked.
"Linde reminds me, in a sense, of my dear brother," Inuyasha explained. "Sesshomaru never says anything about himself, what he's thinking, and what he's planning. Linde doesn't say anything either."
"That's true and she knows so much." Kagome pointed out.

Outside….

"Damn, they're starting to catch on to me." Linde swore.
"Catch on to you how?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Why I'm interested in Naraku and why I'm here." Linde replied.
"You didn't just appear out of nowhere to hit my moronic brother over the head?" Sesshomaru asked.

Linde nodded. "I have a debt to repay." She replied.
