midnightsonata: sorry....this story just suddenly pop out after watching one ending song of Inuyasha that has Naraku in it....
'It's so strange…I feel like I was burning…Something is burning within me…A feeling I have never felt…What is this? Rage? Strong hatred? No….Its more than that….I might never forget this feeling…'
It was after noon as hot as any day but to a certain Hanyo it wasn't that much of a bother. Walking through the forest he enjoyed felling the negative power around the area. It was the best spot to enjoy as he sat under a dead tree. Closing his eye he imagined how to kill those people looking for him now. As he visualized it in his mind he heard something. Not near or far but enough for him to hear it.
'Song? Human?' A slight grin was seen in his mouth. 'I never thought that a human will have a courage to enter this kind of place…And at most the person is singing' He thought and out of curiosity he started to walk towards the song and for some reason he has this feeling that it was not wise to go to where the voice was. But as he is, he assured himself that he need not be afraid for it was not for him to feel that kind of emotions. Emotions? He doesn't have one…because he doesn't need it…Emotions such as happiness, hope, trust and other emotions was for the weak…Hatred…yes that emotion was only one he need…Love? He don't believe in such…for hatred was far stronger that what they so called love.
As he walk closer and closer to the source of the voice, the smell of blood also grow stronger and stronger.
As he entered the middle of the forest there was a meadow, if you can call it a meadow. It was more appropriate to call it abandoned dumping of dead bodies. Looking around he saw that small figure hugging a certain body of a man. It looks like a slave that was abandoned by its master after death.
'He should be grateful…His master took the time to put where his body belongs' He thought as he looked at the man or rather the corpse the small human was hugging so tightly as if her life depends on it.
Moving closely he saw that the person stopped singing and looked up to him. Fear, yes fear was the first thing he saw in those dark, pitiful but beautiful eyes. He liked seeing the expression of the human. Yes, he should be feared because he is the strong and mighty Naraku.
"I'm ready"
His wondering thoughts came back as he heard those words that came out from the dry but desirable lips of the lowlife human. "Human…So you are already ready to die…" He said and looked again in those eyes filled with... fear? 'What happened?' he thought as he looked carefully again in those mysterious eyes. The fear wasn't there!!! The one that was there was contentment? Peace? It shouldn't be…He wasn't sure of what was happening but as he saw that smile…that single smile he knew this was the start of his downfall from power.
