Chapter 34: The Thoughts Of The Enemy

A loud sigh echoed through the empty hallways. Bodies and aged skeletons lay scattered about; blood was smeared dry on the walls and floors, and swords and armor rocked back in forth in the cool wind. The place was haunting, filled with evil and made anyone who walked in the area shiver with fear. A lone figure leaned back against the wall of a dark and narrow hallway, her eyes closed as she waved her fan lazily in front of her face. Her black hair was held in a neat bun and her green earrings danced with the air stream she created.

Footsteps pattered softly against the ground as they moved towards her and the woman opened her eyes, revealing deep red orbs filled with detest and annoyance.

"What did I do to deserve such a fate?" She asked herself harshly.

A small girl made herself known beside to her and the taller woman turned her head. The small girl's eyes were dull and black, emotionless and fragile. She wore clothes that were a bright white as her white hair adorned with dead, pale flowers blew with the breeze. She held a small round mirror and the older woman looked at the girl expectantly.

"What is it, Kanna?" She asked as she snapped her fan closed.

The girl's voice was quiet yet haunting, that would make even the bravest Youkai Lord in all Japan, shiver, "Naraku wishes to see us."

Red eyes narrowed distastefully as she frowned, "What does he want with us?"

"He does not say," The girl named Kanna answered, "He seeks our council…"

The woman pushed off the wall and placed her fan in her belt, "Fine. Lead me to him Kanna."

The little girl did not speak, but turned slowly and walked off down the hallway, the two stepping by the rotting bodies as the older woman growled under her breath. They reached an ordinary shoji door and it slid open on its own. Both girls walked in to find a lone figure sitting next to the window. His hair tumbled down past his waist in waves as his blood red eyes looked over the desolate land.

When he noticed their presence, he looked at them amusedly as a smirk played on his lips. Another figure emerged, his skin pale and his pink hair falling to his hips. His features showed cruelty as he looked at the sitting figure as if wanting to kill him, but he stayed still nonetheless.

"Kanna," The sitting figure called with a smooth voice, "Show them what you have shown me."

Kanna nodded her head numbly and walked forward two steps before turning around to show her mirror to both the standing woman and male demon. The mirror gave a purple glow and the two watched as the glow faded revealing an inu hanyou, golden eyes and dog ears atop his silver-haired head. The man held a large sword that looked very much like a fang and swung, a yellow energy bursting forth towards a baboon caped figure.

The mirror glowed purple again as a woman with raven-black hair notched an arrow into her bow and released. The projectile was bordered pinkish-white and zoomed straight towards the same baboon figure. There was a brief flash of blue, before the mirror returned to its reflecting state.

"Such is the fate of me if those two are not stopped," The sitting man said, "Juromaru…

The pale man looked up from his spot, but did not speak.

"You are to assassinate these two at the Western Region Palace."

The man did not utter a sound, but bowed his head in acceptance.

"Kagura…"

Red eyes locked with his own, "Yes Naraku?"

"You are to get the army ready."

Kagura bowed unpleasantly, "Yes Naraku."

The sitting man smirked and turned back to the window, looking over the gray land and purple filled skies. Villages around his Palace lay burned and desecrated.

"Mitsumi…" Naraku called.

Purple eyes materialized in the dark of the far wall of the room. A soft voice answered.

"Yes Naraku?"

"I have a very important mission for you…If Juromaru fails…Execute it when Kagura returns…"

"Yes Naraku…" The voice answered, and the purple eyes disappeared as if they were never there.

"We are now to take what is rightfully ours…The item that holds my unlimited power…"

The man chuckled as Juromaru turned to leave. Kagura removed her fan and followed. It seemed she would have to bring the bodies in the hall to life and to her bidding.
