Chapter 8 Neraku's castle
My heart raced as my feet took over.I ran . and ran. The wind was barely there anymore as my toes clienched in frustration as they collided with the ground and took flight over the dug earth.
Soon I could smell it, The smell of all that blood, and that old familiar smell of the castle. The one that I had seen long ago, in it's shadow and its malace. My own consience was screaming and yelling for me to stay away from there, form that place. The one place where great grandfather was afraid to go. The only place where my own mother hads never spoke of in her stories, all other places, but not that one. I neared the barier and the glowing essence of Neraku could be smelt plain as gray. My body lurched at the barier and I fell reluctantly through. He must have been expecting me, that one. The last tinme I had been here it wasn't pretty, Kouga's arm was hurt , but Kagome blew Neraku's head off with one of those big ass arrows she uses. It was a good day. Until Kouga threw up on me, I thought to myself as my haert was lost in memeories that my head had blocked before. I walked up the steps of the castle slowly and cautiously, my hand on my sword at all times as I stepped through the doorway to Neraku's Room.
He shifted in his big Kimono and I could see his smile forming as he looked at me through the curtains of the room. I barged through them and drew my sword. I stood tyhere, a growl could be heard deep down in my throat as he smiled wider and his eyebrows furrowed. I tighteneed my grip on my sword as he held outr his hands to me in the darkness of the room.
" Come to me child of the darkness…" His smooth voice overpowered my will as I dropped my sword, covering my head with my hands as it pulsed and throbbed. My body Shook and strained as his voice beconed my movements. I was drwn to him, his voice and his face, his eyes and his soul, they were so perfectly evil and yet, so pure. I fopund myself in front of him, and my sword in his left hand , my head was bowed and he took my blade in two hands, looking it over and back at me with spiteful eyes. " A beautiful sword for such an evil being…" I looked up, to see his smile morph into a frown as My mouth opened to say something.
" I am not evil…" I managed to choke out. He smiled agin, this time he meant it…It was sincere.
" I know what you are inside, beyond the things your family wants you to be. I know what you want. You want to be free, without sword or care…" His hand reached down and touched my face, chilling it and freezing the skin where he had made contact with me. " The thing you desire…Is a life with no restrictions, no moon…no cares of what fase your powers are going to be like tomorrow or the next day. You want to have unstoppable powers, ones that don't limit you….you want to be …" he paused and slowly cocked his head to the side and guided my face to his, and he put his mouth to my cheek. " demon…" My face went whit as my body went limp and his lips made contact with mine, and my whole world went black.
