Masque

For a long time, he dreams. Her face haunts him as it has always haunted him, but to new purpose; he hates her, oh how he hates her – as much as he once loved her soul.

That draws him out of himself.

I am Naraku, he thinks, and then he steps forward with an innocent smile and wide, brown eyes for which girls older than him have been known to faint.

And that...that is Kagome.

He intends to utterly destroy her.
