Naraku lay in the castle, staring at the ceiling. How had it ever gotten this way? He was certain that when he'd forsaken his humanity, he had forsaken the emotions as well...but no. They plauged him, like a dream that wouldn't go away. Her face was still in his mind, her touch, her voice...
I
took their smiles and I made them mine...
I sold my soul just
to hide the light...
But she never had loved him. Or...had she? Naraku turned in his bed, irritated by these memories. Kikyou had only loved that half-bred mongrel. He had given himself to the darkness, thinking she would turn her gaze back to him...or if it didn't, it would at least get rid of that blasted human desire. It didn't work, on either account...so he took their happiness and made it hell. But...
And
now I see what I really am,
A thief, a whore, and a liar...
It was never the plan to kill her. Kikyou wasn't supposed to have died...
I
run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there,
farther away...
Naraku stood, walking to the castle window. Fifty years passed...and she returned. Grimicing, he rubbed his chest with the palm of his hand, almost unconciously. So had the feelings for her...all those years...but it had been twisted, from passion to a bitter anger. If only she had chosen him, it wouldn't have had to go that far...!
I'm
numb to you - numb and deaf and blind...
You give me all, but
the reason why.
I reach but I feel only air at night.
Not you, not love, just nothing...
She hadn't been out of the grave five seconds before that wretched mutt staked his heart on her again. What did the pup think, he could have both the miko and her incarnated half? Naraku's hand clenched, his claws dragging bloody, jagged marks into his skin. And she...that raven-haired priestess...hated InuYasha with as much passion as Naraku had hated them both. Oh, it could have been the pairing of the century...Kikyou and he, possesors of the Shikon no Tama, ruling Japan...together...
I
run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there,
farther away...
And the damned girl went and fell for InuYasha. Again.
Try
to forget you,
But without you I feel nothing.
Don't
leave me here, by myself.
I
can't breathe.
I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, farther away.
He chose the other wench. The mutt stole back her heart, only to stop on it. Naraku growled, turning from the window. But why! Why did he care what happened to Kikyou! She had chosen this for herself...why was he even caring...it would stop. Tonight. Naraku was through with it. All she brought him was pain...He slipped back into the bed, and closed his eyes. Maybe tomorrow, he would destroy her for good.
All he could see was her tear-stained face.
I
run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there,
farther away,
Farther away,
farther away,
farther away,
farther away,
farther away...
