All in a Day
Anticipation flooded his veins as he watched the wind scar slash through the lesser demon's flesh. Desire licked at his senses as the demon's body regenerated, knitting skin and bone back together within seconds of injury. Red tinted his gaze as a miko took aim, diverting the youkai's attention. Blood pounded through his body when the tainted jewel shard was torn from demon tissue with a deadly heave of the demon-slayer's boomerang. Amusement tinted the menacing laugh erupting from his throat as his minion swooped down and plucked the coveted shard from the air. Satisfaction colored his voice as he dismissed Kanna and her mirror with a wave of his hand.
Sweet recourse caused his mind and body to tingle with eagerness. He could feel the dark aura of the shard approaching. Not nearly quickly enough, the saimyoushou flew into the room, dropping the shard into his waiting hand. Wrapping his thin fingers over the pulsating stone, he felt fresh power flow through his body, strength increasing. Smiling cruelly, he let his lust for more power wash over his body as he turned his mind to new ways to thwart Inuyasha and use him against his desire. Naraku's strength lied in patience and the power of suggestion, manipulating like a consummate lover the strings of the very ones who wished to thwart him. It was his strength…and his entertainment.
