The Sad Story Of Naraku-Sama

Chapter 1:

A sharp painful scream ran through out the house, then a baby's cry, and laughter of joy.

"Congratulations it's a boy!" said the village doctor, as he handed the child to the mother.

"My God, what a beautiful boy you are!" the mother said as she rocked her new born. The father walked over and started to stroke the child's head.

"His eyes… they look like the fiery depths of hell…they are beautiful." said the proud new father. The mother just simply smiled, too busy cuddling her beautiful baby boy.

"His name will be Naraku." Said the father, then the mother stopped cuddling the child and looked to her husband and nodded with a smile, then continued to cuddle the bundle of joy that she held in her arms.

"Naraku..." the father sighed as he looked to the sky then back down to the child, "how do you like the name, Naraku?" the child blinked, as if he was thinking about it then he just started to giggle, and then the adults joined in on the laughter, Naraku then stopped laughing and once again started to blink.

Naraku was now five years of age, his hair was now a jet black and went down around his waist, and his eyes were a blood red.

"Papa!" exclaimed Naraku. He dropped his ball and took a running leap into his fathers arms. "I'm so glad your home!" he said as he snuggled into his father's chest.

"Me too – where is your mother?" his father said, he was very weary from his journey.

" She is in the village," replayed Naraku, he was still hugging his father.

" Well lets go and surprise her," he said with a smile. Naraku nodded his head in agreement.

In town there was a crowd, they all had cloth covering their noses and moths.

"What's going on, papa?" Naraku said with curiosity.

"I don't know" said his father as he let Naraku down, and took his hand and walked over. Then all of a sudden a heard of men walked in front of Naraku and his father.

"Herurusufure - Naraku - please do not go any further - " said one of the men.

" Why-" said Herurusufure with a worried look on his face, "where is my wife?" Then the men cleared away off to the side. And there laid a woman, Naraku's mother. Her beauty was almost gone, her fair skin was pale and her bright red eyes that used to be filled with the spark of a child was gone … no spark, barely no life and soul.

"Mama ..." Naraku said with a wobble in his voice "MAMA!" Naraku yelled, there were tears streaming from his eyes. He started to run towards her, "MAMA!" But he stopped short. One of the men grabbed him around the waist and held him back.

"No, let me go! MAMA!" Naraku was still crying, and reaching for his mother.

" No, little one, you mother is infected with a disease and if you breath the air that is around her you will die at your mothers side." said the man that was holding Naraku. Then Herurusufure walked up to Naraku, he only nodded to the man holding Naraku and the man let him go, and then he put a cloth over Naraku's face. Naraku could see the tears also streaming down his father's face, Naraku wiped his father's tears away, and his father did the same for him.

"Be strong, don't let your mother see you cry." Herurusufure spoke only in whisper. Naraku's voice escaped him, so he could only nod.
