A/N Ok, I know that I didn't get any emails, but I just HAD to write this. You'll understand after you read it. Now, on with the story!

Darkness filled the room, blocking everything out. Then a light flashed, and a TV screen turned on, showing a large couch that was half white and half black. One the couch, on each spot where a person could sit, was a name.

Several people walked into the room, all looking confused. A voice came over the PA system. "Naraku, Kikyou, Sango, and Shippou, you are all are dead. Yes, you heard me, dead. And, for the rest of your after life, you will stay here, in this apartment, watching this television. It is a link to the living world. Each of you will sit where your name is. If you have any questions, don't ask. Most of you are here for a reason. Good bye."

~Naraku~

I glanced at all of the others, and then at the couch. It was black and whit, most likely symbolizing the proverbial heaven-hell after life. I suspected my seat would be on the darkest part, and I was surprised to find that I was siting on the border between black and white. Kikyou, however, was sitting on the black, and Shippou and Sango were obviously on the white part.

"What is the purpose of this?" I asked, not bothering to look at anyone else. All of the people I was forced to be around were too low for me to even look at. Then, the television came on.

~Kikyou~

I was not surprised to find myself on the black part of the couch. It was only to be expected. However, when the television went on and I saw the woman Inuyasha tried to replace me with, my reincarnation Kagome, try to kill herself, I was both surprised and overjoyed. I never got to kill the girl, and now she was going to do it for me. If I had known that she would do such a thing, than I would have convinced her to do it long ago. I would probably be alive by now if that...

Suddenly, a flash of silver and white interrupted my thoughts, and I saw Inuyasha's half-brother, a full and very evil youkai, come to the girls aid. I was furious. I was livid. I was seeing red. That wench had even managed to thwart HER OWN attempts at her life! Could she not die?!

~Sango~

To say I was shocked that I was dead would be a lie. I was beyond shocked. And I was angry. But when I saw Kagome covered in blood, I wanted to cry. I considered her a sister, and now she was about to die and join me here when she had so much to live for! Then, Sesshoumaru showed up and saved her. I never thought that I would be grateful to an evil youkai, especially Inuyasha's brother. Then, Kikyou surprised me.

"That bitch!" she yelled, jumping up from her seat. "Can she never die?! How is this possible?!"

I suppose that should not have surprised me, but I had thought that Kikyou was only like she was because of her clay body. And even in life I had never heard her use such vulgar language. Then the screen changed and I saw all of the group together. And I saw Miroku. And, strangely, I could hear what he was thinking. And I heard the name 'Kouga' several times... Should I be angry, confused, or scared? I think I will settle for angry. "That lecher! What is he doing thinking about people like THAT?! And KOUGA of all people!!!"

~Naraku~

I saw everything. I heard everything. And, frankly, I was disgusted. Very much so. These humans, both the live and dead, are pathetic. And the Western Taiyoukai saved the human girl? I suppose I should be surprised, but I'm not. I sat through the whole scene, I saw Inuyasha, my hated foe, and I heard what they all said and thought about my little surprise. I had never hoped that they wouldn't try to find the jewel, but I hope that they won't find it. I saw the girl faint, and I heard the demon exterminator's exclimation. It took that to disgust me. Frankly, all the humans did. And I told them.

"Both of you, sit back down. If this is how you react to something to simple, how will you react when you see something worse? Are all humans this pathetic?"

Then, surprisingly, I almiost felt guilty. The part of me that was Onigumo seemed stronger. In fact, he took over, appologizing to the women. I was so shocked that when I regained controll of my body, I showed it.

"So," I said, "this is my own personal hell. I am with allies as well as enemies and I must share control of my body with the weak Onigumo. How ironic."

IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING

~Kagura~

I was sitting on my feather, flying free on the winds as I was meant to do. I had nothing to do, nowhere to go, and no one to answer to. I was content. Then, a great force hit me, nearly causing me to fall off of my feather. I sat for a moment in shocked silence. Slowly I sat up and looked at my hand in surprise.

"Naraku's powers came to me?" I whispered. "I am not the eldest. And I thought his powers and magic would cease to exist. So, why did I receive them?"

A/N Sorry its not so long. I just wanted to introduce this concept to you all. I hope you like this. If not, get over it becuase you will be seeing more of our dead characters and Naraku's powers. So, if you all want to live to see another day email Jenny at callie4me@hotmail.com and tell her what to write for the next chapter and I won't threaten you next time I write. Maybe.
