Chapter Twenty-Two: Sweet Dreams
Naraku and Kagura sat in the hall outside the prisoners' room, watching. Kagome and Sango were stretched out on the floor next to each other. Sango was on her stomach; her folded hands were her pillow. Kagome's backpack propped her neck up as she lay with her back on the ground and her hands on her chest. Jacklyn was also stretched out with her head in her father's lap. Will sat there, listening to the slow breathing of the young women sleeping. Naraku was listening, also. He felt Inuyasha, Miroku, and Jack coming, but they were not alone. A wolf army led by Koga was coming. He smiled. Kagura knew something was about to happen by the way he smiled. It was the way he looked when she became demonic.
"What is it, Naraku?" she finally got up the courage to say.
Naraku stood. "You'll see." He walked toward the sleeping bunch. Will lifted his head and glared at both Naraku and Kagura.
"Is your side feeling any better, William?" Naraku asked.
"Why do you care?" Will snapped back, brown strands of his hair falling over his eyes.
"I don't." Naraku laughed.
"Oh, that was a knee-slapper all right," Will said, the sarcasm dripping from his words. Will continued, "I bet you think you're a real funny guy. Your entertainment is kidnapping innocent people to achieve your goals. If I could, I would kill you right now, bastard!"
Naraku walked calmly through the sleeping bodies. His hand stretched out, grabbed Will's hair, and yanked it back. "Listen here, boy. The only one who will be killing anyone is I. Right now, Jack, Inuyasha, and Miroku are coming with a wolf army. I have plenty of demons to defeat the wolf army. Miroku will die first while Sango rushes to him and is killed also. Inuyasha will die next and Kagome will run to him and meet her end as well. Jack will try to stab me with his sword but will end up slain with his sword in his own heart. You and your daughter will flock to his side. Both will see his last breath and then an arrow will pierce your precious daughter, and she will fall on Jack. A pile of lifeless bodies in front of you. And one more life, yours, will be added to the pile." Naraku flung Will's head back, so it hit the wall and Will fell unconscious.
"Sweet dreams, Mr. Turner."
