Silver Ronin
Phase of Silver– 'Legacy of Flowers'
Quickly, did the words from father sway into mind. This was him. That man across the small table lined with empty cups was he…The Silver Ronin, "You kill me? Exactly how weak do you think I am, Silver?" Naraku gave a laugh as if a joke were intended. I can recall so easily how I was confused beyond anything, starring at the hand drawn picture of the young child in red, which was clasped in between the spiders sticky claws, "Ever so, here is no place to soil our blades in blood – so allow me to offer a deal," The man called 'Silver' eased into his cushion, gold starring red, waiting paternity as a female worker set in a new bottle of warmed sake down, and waltzed away.
"Go on, Naraku," The Ronin clad in silver spoke, "I wish to hear what new scheme you wish to drown me in."
"New scheme you say? Oh No! Not at all!" The spider held his empty cup to face me, without words, he asked for me to fill the empty saucer, I did so promptly, for I held the want to know more of this connection between the two, "It's simple, I promise, just hand to me the jewel and allow me to keep the girl without any issue, and your son will be returned to you in good health-"
"What have you done with my son you filthy tyrant?" The Silver Ronin's voice was little over a whisper, dripping with an acid that dared to slip through the growing tension.
"Nothing at all, my friend!" Naraku answered quite playfully, "He is in good condition, my daughters take great care of the young one; feeding him, playing with him, buying him new treats here and there, he's just too adorable to harm! And as a plus, I do dislike the thought of killing a child," I breathed out a breath I did not know I was holding, "But if I have to, I just might-" My hand jerked, spilling a glob of the warm liquid – leaving a small water stain on the dark kimono of Naraku.
His eyes found my own, stalking like a snake. He did not look too pleased.
Standing abruptly was the man in silver, turning to simply leave while giving a last message of Naraku, "If my son, Inuyasha, is harmed in any way, the jewel you seek will be destroyed, for the malice I will hold against you will taint it beyond repair, the girl is not under my guard nor protection…but know this spider, I will kill you, and I will make sure that you suffer." With those parting words was the Silver Ronin gone. He stepped out through the open shoji doors, handing the waitress a tip before entering the filled streets of lights, bustling people and colorful lanterns.
"Well, well, that seemed easy enough," I heard the sickly pleasant voice of my captor, who wrapped a slim arm around my waist, pulling me close, "Looks like I can finally put you to use, young one, come now, I wish to share a futon at a local Inn… " I heard him rumble with yet another laugh and I swallowed hard, shivering as I'd realized my fate, "…With my sweet little wife."
I was left alone with the spider.
