Now...here is my next chapter...


Naraku was running at an incredible speed; it had been the end of the third day of Ame's capture. So many troubled thoughts lingering in his head...was she all right? Was she dead? Was she able to get away from that demon? All he could do is hope and pray that she was all right; he wished he would have mastered his teleportation skills...but of all the walking, he never thought there would be need to practice. Now he regretted that.

Every minute felt like an ominous pain that wouldn't disappear...he felt something terrible on the horizon...he couldn't do more than hope that it was JUST a feeling. A pointed wooden object stuck out of the trees, his curiosity grew intense and so he went over to see if that was the castle. At that moment Naraku paid attention to nothing...not the thick mass of trees in his way ...not the sound of his heavy breathing...not even the sun that was rising over the hilltops and flashing the rays in his eyes that blinded him.

When he came closer, he realized that the object was indeed a castle...for some reason this worried him more...this was it. It was time to see if Ame was alive or not. He stopped abruptly in front of the castle to catch his breath, that's when he realized how much running he had done. He grabbed a hold of the place his heart was pumping furiously and in such pain. With a last very deep sigh he lifted up his head to look at the doorway and quickly walked to the entry.

He lifted one of his arms and pointed at the door. A small stream of Miasma encircled his arm and rammed into the door splintering every piece of the wood...Naraku gave no hesitation to enter. His eyes darted around the huge entry hall that was empty and up at a staircase that rose to the next floor.

"She's here...I know it" he muttered under his breath as he quickly climbed the stairs.

Kurayami listened attentively to the sound of fast paced footsteps that drew closer...a malicious smirk crossed his face.

"So...he has arrived"

-

Naraku found himself in a dark hallway which could easily get you lost if you weren't careful. He ran past many rooms that looked like they have been empty for years ...the whole castle seemed dark and lonely. Naraku went to the end of the hallway which he saw the shoji closed...none of the others were shut so he assumed someone was in there. He pulled the shoji open furiously and came face to face with another dark room...but the special thing about this room that was different from all the others is that there was a person standing in the middle of this dark room.

The person was a man...or to be more precise...a demon lord. He had long lavender hair and haunting green eyes...though he was holding something in his left arm, but Naraku couldn't make it out.

"Where is she?" Naraku's tone was cold and serious as he glared upon the demon lord.

Kurayami chuckled and smiled in a cheerful manner

"Why, who ever do you mean?"

He was purposely ticking Naraku off now...Naraku's face filled with more anger.

"You know exactly who I mean...now where is Ame?"

Kurayami giggled and pointed to a corner of the room where a young woman with her eyes closed was laying on her stomach. Naraku's eyes grew wide

"You bastard..."

Naraku ran over to Ame turning her around so that he could see her face completely. Ame's face was pale...and cold, her face was filled with concern...and sadness. Naraku saw that her stomach had been ripped open by powerful claws...and the blood was dry. She wasn't breathing. Naraku gave a deadly look at Kurayami...it was the most furious face he ever had.

Kurayami, of course, didn't care; he was busy looking at the thing in his arm. It was covered with a cloth with stains of blood on it. Naraku looked at Kurayami in shock

"You...DIDN'T!!" Naraku yelled; a cloud of miasma surrounded Naraku threatening to devour Kurayami (the miasma).

Kurayami just laughed maniacally and disappeared as this happened. Naraku looked around...and the miasma slowly disappeared. He yelled and punched a hole in the wall nearby... and was quiet for a moment.

"He got away...that despicable creature got away..."

He looked at Ame in grief and gently picked her up. He looked at her one last time before hugging her ...it was so different... a couple of days ago, her body was so warm and happiness filled him for that short amount of time of Embracing her. But holding her now ...so cold and lifeless...made his heart ache and pain that Naraku never felt before came...it was sadness for another person.

He kissed her cheek and laid her down on the floor. He lifted up one of his arms which caused little sparks to appear around the woman until they became flames that made a complete circle...and soon engulfed her. Naraku watched this quick act and slowly left the room not looking back because it hurt so much. When he made it out of the castle, the flames had eaten away at almost half of the dark castle...and Naraku walked away in utter grief and disappeared into the woods.


Many years have passed; Naraku had all but one piece of the Shikon no tama ...he could become a full demon...then he could bring back Ame...at least that was what he had planned. The girl Kagome had the last piece...he knew he would get it...he was Naraku, the most feared demon throughout this part of Japan. The rain came lightly on the soft earth, Naraku reached out a hand to feel it run off his fingertips and onto the ground.

"Ame...you will return to me soon...I promise."

Naraku looked content fully at the rain as he continued to draw nearer to Inu-yasha and his group. A sharp pain pierced through Naraku's back and spread to his legs and arms at that moment.

"Agh..." He looked at the direction of the attack and saw a young girl with raven hair and big brown eyes looking disgusted and pleased that she hit her target. She held her bow tightly and brought out another arrow.

"You..." Naraku was enraged, he wanted to completely destroy that wench...but he fell to his knees and looked at this new power that he had never seen before.

"You heartless, despicable, creature! DIE!" Kagome shot another arrow which successfully hit him in the chest. Naraku fell against a tree.

"Girl...you don't know heartless" he said harsh fully as she walked up to him.

"Yes I do, I'm staring right at it!" Kagome still held that annoying disgusted look at Naraku.

Naraku clenched his teeth and looked down at his enormous wound...

"Dammit... why can't I ever...win in the end...in the end...I always lose ..." Naraku clenched his teeth harder and laid his head back against the tree. Kagome smiled in victory as he slowly closed his eyes and darkness consumed him.

Once have I loved, I loved one well

The thought of them haunts me still,

I toss and turn at night...thinking of their last pain...their last fight

Shadows visit and dance and sing!

There is no hope thou can bring,

The shadows haunt me in my dreams

They remind me of the love I deemed,

Fate is welcome...fate is wanted

The shadows leave me broken hearted,

Come! I ask fate, for what's the point?

I died long ago with my love as well

But we do not meet where the shadows dwell,

Alas we can only meet where fate brings us

So come fate! Come unite us!

My love is gone and I am lost

I now die and ask, bring us together...by any means...by any cost.

THE END
