"Welcome everyone, please follow me." Kagome greeted the students as as they all got to the top of the Shrine steps. Anya stayed beside Haku as they followed her mother around the grounds. "Alight lets bgins this tour shall we?" Everyone nodded as the tour began.
"So this is what this place looks like huh?" "Mhm, yep, for half my life this has been home." "It's a pretty big place." Anya smiled and nodded, "Yep, I know, I was always getting lost when I was younger." "No doubt...ah Anya?" "Yeah?" "Who's car is that?" "What car?" "The one that just pulled in now..." "Oh, thats my dad's car..." "WHAT!" Anya whipped around to see her father getting out of the car. "Oh no!" Both hurried to catch up to Kagome.
"Mom!" "Anya? What is it? Oh, hello, Haku." "Hi." "Anyway, whats wrong?" "I thought you said thatdad would be at work late today!" "He is, dear..." "Then why is he coming towards us right now?" Kagome looked to where her daughter gestured and saw her husband walking over to her. "Oh, my." "Mom! What do we do?" "Ah...well..." Anya sighed, "Nevermind, mom, just let us know when the group is leaving alright?" " "Alright dear, and I'm sorry." "Don't worry about it." Anya grabbed Haku's hand and pulled him away from her mother and the group of students.
"Inuyasha! This is a surprise! I thought you said you were working late tonight," "Yeah, well I'm on my lunch break and decided to come home and see how the tour was going...wheres Anya?" "Ah...she...had to stay at school to continue with rehersals," "Huh, I thought that this trip was manditory," "True, but Anya thought that since she lives here, that it'd be best to keep working on the play." "I guess that makes sense, but if thats the case, why isn't Koji with her?" "Ah...well, you know Koji, he's a slacker." "No kidding." "Theres some ramen in a pot on the stove, but be careful, it's still hot." Inuyasha hugged his wife and went into the house to have his favorite food for lunch.
"That was close! Any longer and he'd have seen me." "I know, I'm sorry I really thought he wouldn't be here today." "Don't worry about it, it's not like you told him not to work late, right?" "Right, I wouldn't do that to you." "I know...so...where is this shed anyway?" "I'll show you where it is, but you can;t go in yet, theres still alot that had to be cleaned up." "Okay." Anya led Haku further down a path and down a set of steps. "This shed had been in this location for a very long time now, not quite sure how long, but before the shrine was built I know that for sure." "I see." "I think it used to be where the sacred scolls, talismans and all that stuff was held, before the other ones were built." "Interesting." "Yeah, mom says that just about everything about this shrine has a great history to it." "It shows." Anya giggled, "I know."
"Well, here it is." Anya said as the two of them stopped in front of a wooden building. "Huh, you're right, this thing has been here for a long time." "Like I said, before, I don't know how long its been here, but due to the location, I think this was part of the village back in the feudal era." "Huh, maybe," "My dad might know, or my great grandpa might have, but unfortunately, he died when I was 10." "Sorry to hear it." "It's alright. So? What do you think?" "Well, this will certainly well aways away from your dad's sight huh?" "Yeah, and theres a secret entrance here," Anya showed Haku another set of steps and a gateway." "With this, dad wont see you coming onto the grounds, so he wont get suspisious." Haku smiled at the ember haired girl beside him.

It had been several years since the two had first met, and not a day went by that the two hadn't tried to see each other again. At that time, though, he had just been curious about the girl. She was the daughter of Naraku's enemies and yet she was the one that wanted to be friends. Koji of course, had advised her not to go near him, but she had ignored the wolf cub and the kitsune, Shippo, who had also told her that going near him, would be dangerous. Anya, though really young hadn't listened to either of them, and remained his loyal friend.
Though Naraku had control over the boy, Haku would so some reason never let on to his friendship with Anya. He didn't know why then, but he knew why now. He hadn't wanted her to get hurt. He liked her, alot. He knew that his feelings towards Anya would be dismised by Inuyasha, and he had thought Kagome would forbid Anya to see him again, but the raven haired woman had surprised him.
He thought back to when he told Naraku off and moved out. He'd never even dared to be like that towards Naraku, for the fear of what he might do to him, but those fears vanished the instant Naraku let on that he knew who Anya. Haku had been so terrified for Anya's safety, that he'd slammed Naraku against the wall of the house and had warrned him to stay away from Anya and her family. That resulted in Haku moving out that night. Now Anya was going through all this trouble to help him.
"You alright? Haku?" He nodded and pulled her closer and held her tightly in his arms. "Anya, I love you." He said and kissed the stunned woman, who just accepted the kiss.
