Until We Bleed
C h a p t e r F o u r : P e a c e
Naraku sighed. His eyes never leaving her. Her sleeping form. Her face tilted toward him. Rain pattered outside. Gentle with her presence. She's back in her own world.
She snored softly. The sound loud in the quiet room. It soothed him.
He turned his head. looking outside. Inuyasha can have the grave stone. He will keep his woman.
Kikyou slept peacefully in front of him. Beside her, her stained nightgown. The beautiful color of her blood reminded him.
Inuyasha had killed her. But now she was alive.
She stirred. Her long lashes fluttered.
Naraku's hand brushed her unruly bangs out of her face. Her skin was soft. Her hair like silk.
Her dark brown eyes opened and met hard crimson. Her lips trembled. Trying to form words.
"You're safe here," he whispered. "My Kikyou, I'll never let him near you again."
A soft exhalation. Kikyou went back to resting.
Quiet once more. Nothing but false peace. There will be no rest. Inuyasha had to die. Vanish from this world.
Then he could find peace.
"Kagura," he softly summoned. It was a moment before his wind witch came into view. Ruby eyes looked with hidden malice.
"Who's this?" she rudely asked. Glancing down at his beautiful, resting Kikyou.
Naraku ignored her. "Find and bring Inuyasha's head," he demanded.
Kagura shook her head. "It's been three years, Naraku," she informed. "And you still hold a grudge?" a small smirk pulled her crimson lips.
He sent her a murderous glare. She faded into blackness. His eyes fell back to the beauty. His beauty. She is his.
Kikyou's eyes flickered beneath her eyelids. Lost in a dream. Where bad people shot at her. Her mother laying dead. Blood pooling. Reflections.
Naraku rested his hand over his heart. His damned human heart.
A/N: I almost didn't make it today. In case you haven't noticed, I'm trying to fit 31 drabbles in 31 days for Halloween so I'm posting a chapter a day.
Xsachi: Thanks. I'm mostly drawing out a small idea so I'm trying to take it slower than usual. Not only is the writing style different, I'm also working everything off the top of my head to surround the idea I have.
