Chapter1: Naraku's indigenous plot
Moisture hung thick in the air inside hollow caves that seemed to twist down into hell itself. Then again, isn't that what some would call this place, hell? The underworld was a dark place indeed… For at the very end of these tunnels, this long and treacherous cave, the simplest way to describe it for those unfortunate enough to bear it's tortures would be hell.
The worst of things happened, down there, at the end… souls of the wicked and vile presided down there. Damned to an eternity of punishment that could make anybody wish they were alive just so they could die again. Yet, death of the soul was too good for them, so they'd all suffer until the end of time, and after that still.
Hardened eyes stared scathingly ahead as the owner of the eyes continued on his way. Fact was, he wasn't headed to the bottom… He was still very much alive, and was actually down here to ensure he stayed that way for much longer. No, you see, he was only going not even half way down, for he need not go any further than that, to get what he sought after…
Naraku finally came to a stop and turned to his left to what appeared to be a solid rock wall. He smirked knowingly. It least, it was a rock wall to those who didn't know the secrets of the underworld. Naraku simply walked through the wall, as if it weren't there.

Shintako turned suddenly as he sensed the presence of another, a relatively strong other… He quickly stood up and narrowed his eyes "Show yourself!" he yelled hoping the shudder in his voice went unnoticed. Naraku's lip curved up slightly as he took a step forward "Such big words for such a frightened voice Shintako?".
Shintako now saw Naraku, but only slightly in the dimly lit room. He was in his normal baboon suit, save the fact that this one was black aside from his normal white one.
"Do you have what I want?" Naraku asked his voice suddenly becoming more icy. Shintako gulped and nodded as he handed Naraku the book wrapped in golden cloth. Naraku's eyes held a small hint of excitement as he took the book in his hands and read the cover 'Inuyasha Taisho'.
Shintako rubbed the back of his neck "there you go, the life book you wanted, though it wasn't the easiest thing to get you know, I had to kill the soul guarding it to attain it". Naraku looked up a nodded "good job" were his curt words as he turned to leave.
"Hey!" Shintako yelled grabbing Naraku by the arm. Naraku turned and glared menacingly at him "what!?". Shintako gulped for a second "w-what about my p-pay?". Naraku eyes went placid once again "ah of coarse, your pay" He said thrusting his sharp claws into Shintako cutting him cleanly in half "have fun suffering in the underworld weakling" were his words as he walked, heading back to the earths surface.

A/N- I've said it once, I'll say it every time, my opening chapters are always the smallest ones ^^;. Anyways, for those of you who have read any of my other stories, don't you think this one is better, a little more descriptive? I do ^-^. Also, remember that book, and don't forget about the soul that had been guarding it, those are very important parts of my story! ^-^
