Naraku sat brooding in his castle. Inuyasha and his pesky comrades were always finding a away to survive his attacks! He grumbled and ran his hands through his long black locks. There had to be a solution to his problem! A way to rid himself of his enemies! Always they were alluding him, always they escaped barely with their lives.
He stood and paced about his bed chamber, stopping at the sliding doors. 'What was the weather outside like?' he wondered. Naraku sauntered over to the doors and slid them open. A gust of warm air blew in and stirred his long raven hair. It was a full moon that night, not a cloud in the sky.
"Naraku." He turned, it was Kagura outside in the hall.
"Come in." He said flatly. He did not feel like dealing with Kagura at the moment.
Kagura walked into her masters room, eyeing the open door suspiciously. "The sage refused to do the job you asked of him. I killed him."
Kagura was so annoying, even if she was a part of himself. Naraku hated her, Why did he even bother keeping her around? "Fine, now leave me. I have things to do." Naraku waved a pale hand at her and returned to his previous position. She stood perplexed briefly, then left closing the door behind her.
The yokai stood staring at the moon, unblinking. "If only there was a way to destroy them all. I would sell my soul for a means to destroy my enemies." The warm summer wind blew once more, throwing his hair up and about. Raven locks twisted and spun about his eyes, temporarily obscuring his vision. When at last the wind ceased a dark cloud, black like those of a storm, had materialized in the sky. It drifted like a shadow darker than the night. Slowly Naraku watched transfixed as it moved East to cover the moon completely. Darkness consumed the land for several moments until at last the cloud parted and disappeared into the night sky.
He raised a black brow, "Interesting." Then from the shadows emerged a dog. The creature padded over to Naraku's side and sat staring, waiting. It was a monster of a beast. Large as a mastiff, yet long and curved like a greyhound. It's muzzle was thick and pointed, and it's ears stood sharp and ridged above the head. The creatures paws were enormous, the claws sharp and pointed. It had a stiff medium length tail, made for positioning and balance. Darker than the shadows, and quieter than a mouse had it not been for the moonlight even Naraku's demonic senses would have been able to spot the dog.
Naraku stooped low to pet it and asked, "What kind of creature are you that even I cannot see you in the night? What kind of thing are you who can trek so silently? What kind of being is bred so fitly to kill?"
The beast bowed low in a sign of greeting and opened it's tremendous jaws to reveal a pair of fearsome canines. Died red from countless ages of killing and blood spilling the hounds teeth glistened in the light. They were a stark contrast to the midnight black of it's coat. It growled lowly from the depths of the throat and let out a quiet bark. This dog was saying it was something to be feared.
Naraku pulled his hand back quickly after seeing the fangs. Perhaps he shouldn't deal so impudently with the beast after all? It had to have been cunning to have survived the ages so well, to have such stained teeth. "Are you death? Is that who you are, you bring death?" He waited for the dog to respond. It sat for a moment before wagging it's tail and barking with approval. 'Yes, you can call me that,' it said.
Naraku smirked and stood, he would get his guest a snack as any good host would. "Are you hungry dog?" It stood excitedly and hurried to the man's side. It wagged it's tail and panted in anticipation of it's next meal. Naraku walked to his chamber door and opened it. "Kana, " he called, the dog racing away down the halls, "Bring my guest a snack will you?"
Not soon afterward there was a crash and the sound of glass breaking, his clumsy reincarnation had dropped something maybe? This was unlikely though, for Kana was skilled and graceful. He left his room and let his feet direct him tot he source of the noise. In the hall not far from his room lay the dog happily licking it's paws. Beside the beast was Kana's mirror, cracked and broken. Naraku stared at the dog, confused. The beast licked it's red teeth and smiled.
"You ate Kana?" The man said in disbelief. Had it been so easy to kill his puppet? The beast had managed it without even the slightest of screams, and the smallest trace of blood. There was nothing left.
The dog licked it's jowls and wagged it's tail. 'Yes,' it had eaten Kana.
Naraku's eyes flashed and his blood boiled. Finally he had a means to destroy his enemies, finally he could win in his conquest! "Dog, " he said, "Death, will you annihilate my opponents?" The dog wagged it's tail and barked. 'Of course,' killing was it's job. It licked Naraku's hand and vanished into the shadows.
