Your empty walls...
Your empty walls...
Pretentious attention
Dismissive apprehension
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
The avatar of hell was finally called before the 10 kings for the judgment of his soul. He strode
arrogantly into the chamber. The incarnation of the underworld stood before King Enma and
did not bow. Why should he? He had succeeded in obtaining the highest power of anyone in
in Japan, the Jewel of Four Souls. Did he not kill more than people than anyone in Japanese history? Did his birth not simply arise because of necessity to balance the purification of the jewel by Kikyou? Had he not cleared away the roving bands of samurai and feudal lords and
their vassals making the way clear for Tokugawa era uniting Japan under one banner? Who
were these judges that they should judge him? If Kagome had not purified his soul, he and the
jewel would have found a way to return.
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
The charges were read. The judges were given a vision of what Naraku had unleashed. They saw a whole region overrun by rats simply to bring Kikyou out of hiding. Birds that drank human blood were unleashed on the countryside simply to allow Naraku passage to Inuyasha's father's grave. Thousands of demons were concentrated in the sacred mountain simply to allow Naraku to discard his human heart and kill Kikyou. Those same demons were unleashed when Naraku was done with them. and in their rage they destroyed most of the villages in that region.

Choking from intoxication
An entire village of demon slayers was killed simply to obtain one shard of the sacred jewel. Whole clans of wolf demons were killed as a lure to bring Kouga to that site. Souls were stolen simply to provide fodder for the wind sorcereress's dance of death.
I want you

They would have to confine Naraku. They could never release him until the end of time. Otherwise, they would face a menace which could destroy Japan. If he were ever to escape, he would recreate the cycle of violence of which the jewel was so proud.
Those empty walls

They could never again be lured in by the prospect of the perfection of the jewel. The jewel was something that should never have been forged. Now that it had disappeared , they must never allow it to return.

To allow him to escape would vitiate the sacrifice of a Sango who crawled out of her grave to avenge her village. It would spit in the face of a Kohaku, who was forced to kill his own father and kin and grievously harm his own sister on more than one occasion. Kohnku's actions made Sango want to kill Kohaku from doing evil and kill herself as a penance. Kohaku who killed humans to protect Naraku's baby Kohaku who assisted Hakudoushi in releasing the demon rats and who assisted. him in the experiments which created Mouryoumaru.

To allow him to escape would mock the priestess who having been fatally wounded by Naraku, killed her own lover and died simply to prevent the jewel from falling into evil hands and stop the fighting over the jewel. It was be a slap in the face to priestess whose lonely fight brought her back from death in order to cast Naraku and the jewel from this world. I t would besmirch her death where she used her last strength to place a light inside of Naraku.

They must find a guardian who would not fail. Who could hold Naraku fast until the end of time. The guardian must be someone who was not vulnerable to Naraku's vile. The prison must a place from which Naraku could never escape.

Naraku had Kikyou kill Inuyasha. He had tricked Sango into attacking Inuyasha with her Hiraikotsu and betraying Inuyasaha by stealing the Tetsusaiga. Later, he had Kagome attempt to kill Inuyasha with arrows and had Inuyasha lose his mind and injure Kagome.

In the end the judges devised a punishment fitting for Naraku and one from which he would never escape. Naraku waited for his sentence. He was to be confined within an unbreakable prison from which there was no hope of escape.
The guardian was to one who was loyal to Naraku to the end, but whom Naraku had betrayed and destroyed.
The guardian entered the room where he was to be confined. It was little girl dressed in white with no expression and holding a mirror.
He had never thought to see Kanna again. The little girl of his own flesh. His own incarnation.His own daughter whom he had forced to kill herself. Who knew she had a soul?
Silently, the little girl raised the mirror so that Naraku could his own reflection one last time.He saw the face of evil, the face of despair, the face of unrequited love, the face of death.
With that his soul was sucked into the mirror. The sisters had justice at last. Kanna would stand guard until the end of time.and Naraku would be imprisoned forever behind those empty walls.
