Summary: "It's been a good run, old friend. But there's only room for one of us in this syndicate…"
Shots rang out, echoing through the large, dark foyer. Naraku heaved a heavy sigh; he needed to pull himself together. It was difficult; his mind was too full of satisfied sighs and fingers working their way along bare, pale skin. Sesshomaru was a real beauty, and the gunman was sorry that it came to this.
He lifted his cigarette to his lips, well aware that the damned thing was nearly finished. "Piece of shit," he mumbled as his Berretta jammed up again; it was an old gun, but it had been faithful to him these past seven years.
He leaned against the quickly crumbling wall as the other gang member continued firing. Closing his eyes, he became overwhelmed with emotions that he didn't normally feel in situations such as these. He was Naraku, the Swooping Spider. He didn't have a heart. Without a heart, you couldn't feel, you couldn't care – you couldn't love.
Naraku sneered again as Sesshomaru's cool, aloof face popped into his head once more. "Cocky bastard," he fumed, shoving his hand into his back pocket. His palm rested against the grip of his hidden Derrenger; the same fingers he had used to please his partner just the night before wrapped around the trigger, sliding it silently out of its denim hiding place. Looking over the slim, sleek design of the handgun, Naraku took but a moment to admire the way the silver glinted maliciously in the dim light from the street.
"It's been a good run, old friend. But there's only room for one of us in this syndicate…" Whirling around, he took aim.
Met with a disgruntled-looking Sesshomaru, Naraku paused – a possibly deadly decision.
But the taller male only regarded him with emotional, amber eyes, a rarity in and of itself.
"Again – thanks for nothing, Naraku…"
