Theme: Ambition
Surpass
Naraku had always been an ambitious person. His inner demons craved to be recognized, worshipped, and adored. He blamed Onigumo for this. The bandit had always lived on the fringe of society and had hardly been worth his salt to anyone. No one had ever recognized him, no matter how hard he tried. Onigumo had always wanted power, wealth, and pure women, but had never succeeded in obtaining any of these.
Naraku would succeed where his filthy human half had failed. Treated like a lord by many, he had already surpassed anything Onigumo had ever accomplished.
He smirked to himself, idly rolling the Shikon jewel around in his hand.
When he finally obtained the complete jewel, he could discard his weak human half. His dreams would be fulfilled, his ambitions, realized. He would finally be that which he so desired. Everything would be his. As he held the jewel, Naraku could feel the weight of the infinite possibilities it represented.
