(A/N: This is a drabble based on Naraku from Inuyasha. Warning: Some or most of you won't sort of get. This is also based on the Watanagashi-hen and Meakashi-hen arcs of Higurashi Feudal Era style. This is what if Naraku did have a lost love and what if he wasn't born from Onigumo, but was just faking it the entire time. I don't own Inuyasha or Higurashi. Enjoy! Oh, one more thing… This after Inuyasha: The Final Act, so Naraku is already dead. This when Inuyasha and the others discovers a journal about Naraku's true intentions, thoughts, and feelings. Oh, Naraku may come out a bit OOC.)


The Beginning

Inuyasha, a half-dog demon along with, Kagome, a modern-day, the fox kit named Shippo, a monk by the name of Miroku, Sango, the demon slayer and her faithful fire twin tailed cat companion, Kirara. They were all doing the usual as they always do. Inuyasha sleeping in the tree. Miroku and Sango planning their own wedding. Kagome helping the old priestess, Kaede, pick herbs, and Shippo playing with the village kids. Kagome and Kaede were picking the herbs used for colds and high fever because one of the villagers wound up sick. Since they were so close to Onigumo's cave, the place where the thieving bandit, Onigumo, died, and the vile half-demon, Naraku, was born. Or so they think. Shippo was playing in the cave until he had somehow tripped over something. "Ow," he yelped in pain. "Huh?" He looked behind him to see book behind him. "What's this?" When he tried to touch he was zapped by an evil aura.


Shippo hurried to Kagome's side. He hopped on up on her shoulder, and pulled on her hair. "Kagome! Kagome!" he cried.

"What is it?" Kagome asked, curiously.

"I found something in the cave." He raced off towards the cave with Kagome in tow.

"Look at this, Kagome," Shippo said while pointing at the book hiding between a couple of stones.

"What is that? A book, perhaps?" Kagome said, puzzled. "What is a book doing way out here?" She went to touch it, but was pushed back by the same evil aura as with Shippo was zapped with. "This…this Naraku's aura… But how? I'll purify it." Her hands glowed with purification s she purified Naraku's demonic aura. "Let's take this, and show the others," she told the fox kit as he nodded in affirmative.


Kagome and Shippo showed the book they found to the rest of their friends as they were all gathered around Kaede's hut. "What is that you have there, Kagome?" Miroku asked as he stared at the book curiously.

"Shippo found it in Onigumo's cave, and it had Naraku's evil aura surrounding it," Kagome explained. That statement cause gasps to go around, and for everyone to become tense.

"Let me have a look at it," Kaede said as Kagome handed her the book. The old priestess examined it. The covers were brown, old, and rusty. She turned it over, and saw a picture of a woman in the back.

"That's an attractive woman," Miroku said, amused. That comment left him a red hand slap to his face courtesy of Sango.

"Get your mind out of the gutter, Miroku," Sango said, irritated.

"I wonder…who that woman was." Shippo asked. The woman in the picture had long hair that was sported by a big butterfly shaped bow, and wearing a simple elegant kimono. If you looked closely enough, you could see a faint blush on her cheeks, and how shy and timid she looks.

"Must be one Naraku's victims," Inuyasha stated.

"If she was a victim, then why would he have a picture of her?" Kagome asked. Kaede headed her back the book. Kagome opened up the first page. The pages were old and some torn. She gasped.

"What is it, Kagome?" the half-demon asked.

"There are words written in here. It's more like a diary or a journal."

"Won't ye read it to us, Kagome?" Kaede asked. The schoolgirl nodded her head and began reading.

My name is Naraku.

They all were shocked by the first sentence. So, this did belong to Naraku? Kagome kept reading.

By now, I'm most likely already dead. Most is a record of my inner thoughts. My true intentions. I keep track of everything I've discovered thus far. Most demons and humans might know me as an evil, manipulative half-demon who's only quest is for power. I don't say anything. I just let them think what they want to think. What I'm really thinking is none of their business. None of them can help me anyway. No one can help me with my grieve.

There are still many questions that I have. Such as what's the significance of Watanagashi? What is the Oriyshima-sama's curse? Why is it that one person mysteriously murdered and the other demoned away? And most importantly… Where is 'she'?!

I'll destroy everything until I found out where 'she' is? How can the love of my life simply vanish without a trance?! Something or someone has taken her from me, and I'm going to find out. Even if I have to bring this whole world through hell to do it! I've tried searching the whole region, and still no trace of her. My anger…! My rage…! My hatred…will not disperse until I see 'her' again! I just want 'her' back… Nobody understands that I just want 'her' back! I WANT 'HER' BACK TO ME! GIVE 'HER' BACK! GIVE 'HER' BACK TO ME!

"This is the journal of about Naraku's love," Kagome stated after she finished the first entry.

"Keh! Who the hell in their right mind will fall for that bastard?" Inuyasha grumbled. "She must have brainwashed."

"Didn't he just state that something happened to her?" Shippo asked, innocently.

"I wonder what happened." Sango pondered.

"Let's let Kagome continue to read to us," Miroku suggested. He nodded his head towards her. She understood, turned the page, and began reading.


(A/N: That's the end of the chapter. Remember…this is a drabble. There are entries from Naraku's journal, and some of the comments from the Inuyasha main cast here and there. I started this out of boredom, so…yeah. Like I said, Naraku will be OOC a little bit. Please read and review! And enjoy the rest as I continue on!)
