Chapter: Four Reflection Revelations

Naraku was bewildered.

And for good reason, too.

A few minutes ago, his solitude had been broken when his smallest daughter, Kanna, entered the room, her pale hair glowing like spun moonlight even though the only light in the room was a single candle. Her black eyes with that ever blank-yet-deep stare, Kanna had presented her mirror to him without a single word of explanation.

Looking into the mirror, he had seen that annoying bastard, Inuyasha, speaking with that strangely-dressed miko who always followed him around, the one who was the reincarnation of Kikyou.

Listening to their conversation was what had triggered the bewildered feeling, along with a spark of curiosity.

Time period? What is the meaning of that? He muttered to himself. Stuck on one side of the well?

Just where was this girl from, anyway? Why was she so unlike everyone else?

Every time Naraku has sent someone up against Inuyasha, that miko was always there. That was why he could never win, it seemed. Even Naraku had to admit, he had underestimated the girl a few times such as when she had nearly destroyed him in trying to save her friends.

Kagome was always there to unravel his plans, in one way or another. Kagome, it seemed, was Kikyous reincarnation, and was as attached to Inuyasha as Kikyou had been in life.

As this last thought occurred to him, Narakus crimson eyes narrowed as he came up with an idea; if this Kagome could be manipulated and turned against Inuyasha, or at least made to leave him, then the boy would be that much easier to defeat, now wouldnt he?

All he would have to do is observe the girl more, so that it would be easier to manipulate her. He sneered as he imagined the look upon Inuyashas face as Kagome betrayed him, and began to laugh darkly as he prepared one of his puppets to send to watch the girl, casting a spell over it to disguise its scent.

This was his greatest plan yet.

QS: Finally, Naraku has made an appearance. Happy? ;)
