Summary: Naraku and his deepest obsession, another time, another chance…
A/N: As many were confused in the first time publishing, the one Naraku's obsesses eternally is no other than Kykyou. Yeah, this turned out to be strange, and yet, I'm very fond of this one.
Naraku
The shadow, the evil, the power.
I wonder who Naraku really is, what goes into his mind.
He turns to look at me and he smiles. For a moment, one could believe he is just a beautiful angel, with his dark long hair floating with the cold wind of the North. And to me he is an angel.
But I'm no blind to the evil in him. Oh, no, I've never been. This I brought from my last life, memories of him and me, hate between us. In those times, I was called Kykyou.
Still, in this lifetime, I love him and he loves me. He said he's been looking for me since I died, and then I was found reborn. I believed his words and I became his beloved mate, as he became mine.
Somewhat I think that we ever belonged to each other, and now we are together at last. Our destiny is full filled, as those of so called enemies. The shikon shards reduced my lover to a vague memory to this world, and in his penance he was graced, finally, to meet me again.
He's still Naraku, though, and the shadows remain with him, no matter how long has he been defeated. But he keeps smiling at me, he keeps warming me in the cold nights, and he truly loves me. If that was not enough for Kykyou, it is enough for me. And for the seed of life growing inside of me as well.
END?
