Chapter 8


The world was dark. It always was, much more inside this accursed dome. There was no helping it though. The world had died centuries ago. A surreal amount of technological weapons copped up with a high amount of fools made life outside this circular sphere impossible.

The air was polluted.

The water was undrinkable.

The soil was barren.

As always, Naraku sighed his resignation. There was not much that could be done. He was a powerful hanyou, but he was no match for some of the youkai in the upper chain. Sure, he was good with deceptions, but treading in those waters was too dangerous. He could not risk it…not now.

Red eyes moved to the pair of hanyou girls, Kagura and Kanna, playing pat-a-cake in his fake garden. The trees and the animals looked very real, but they were simple look-alike robots. The girls didn't seem to mind though, and he was pleased they seemed to enjoy what he could give them.

There were those days, however, when simply conforming was not enough. Some days, and nights, he pondered about the restriction of information he was subjected to.

Was the world outside really dead?

Was life unsustainable behind these proton-infused walls?

He pursed his lips and his red eyes shone brighter for a moment.

If only he could somehow get pass the Youkai King, the Taiyoukai Sesshomaru, he could find out. He was, sadly, too strong to take on. The Taiyoukai had his weakness, everyone knew it, but so far no one had managed to exploit it.

The Taiyoukai was obsessed with a human woman; a cursed woman who many said he wanted as mate. She slept inside his castle behind diamond crystal walls. So far her chambers had proven to be impenetrable.

If only someone managed to break through and kill her… that simple thing would change the world. For ages Sesshomaru had been searching for a cure to her curse. He would be broken to pieces if she were to die.

Her death… that was what every single being with youkai blood, like him, was waiting for. Then they would rebel. Then they would take the world.
