Summary Naraku contemplates his position after Barrier of Earth

Naraku scowled at the flesh on the floor. NO matter how many times he cut it off the spider scar grew back. As it was a part of him that refused to go away. And so it was.

Muso had proved that Onigumo was an essential part of him. Without of him his body would not obey him. That fact alone forced Naraku to drag Onigumo back inside of him screaming and kicking.

He has placed so much hope in Muso. If only he could rid of him, he could rid himself of his obsession with Kikyou. It was embarrassing to spy on the former miko at the temple. Kikyou had actually laughed at him for being a stalker.

In truth that is what he was Onigumo's feelings for Kikyou, which became his feelings for Kikyou. Naraku simply could not control himself. When he was not at the temple watching her, he was thinking about her.

For fifty years he had done just fine without Kikyou. In fact he had killed Kikyou shortly after his birth and condemned what was left of Onigumo to a deep dark place. Not one thought of Kikyou or Onigumo in the past fifty years.

It was only when Kikyou was reborn that she empowered Onigumo. While she was dead, Onigumo slept. Her presence gave Onigumo life. A life that he could not ignore. If he was not careful, he would become Onigumo. Lusting after Kikyou and the Jewel.

He had tried getting Onigumo out to no avail Casting him out as Muso. In desperation he had tried to kill Kikyou. Inuyasha had thwarted that plan killing the giant soul collector. Worse he had felt jealousy of Inuyasha hugging Kikyou promising that no other man would touch a hair of her head.

Now Kikyou had a new weapon. She had put the dirt from Onigumo's caver which was soaked with Onigumo's disgusting feelings for Kikyou inside of her body. It was both a sword and a him. Onigumo was now Kikyoou's protector from him who could destroy him if he or his incarnations touched Kikyou.

He was a hostage in his own body. Unable to rid himself of Onigumo or his feelings for Kikyou he was now faced with the awful truth that Kikyou could walk into his castle with impunity and neither he nor his creatures could do anything about them.

Worse Kikyou mocked him, calling him hanyou knowing that he could not do anything against her so long as the heart of Onigumo was inside of him defending Kikyou. The pain would not be so bad if he could just hate her like she did him. Instead, all he could feel for her was what Onigumo felt for her. Not love. Not lust. Just an obsessive need for Kikyou.

The only way he could solve both problems was rid himself of Onigumo Once Onigumo was gone, Kikyou was as good as dead. Only then could be himself again. Only then could he have peace again. The Jewel and becoming a full youkai would be gravy.
