A/N: How come hardly anybody writes pieces on Onigumo? When you come to think of it, he's just as intriguing as all the other characters.
I wanted to go more in-depth with this, but this is where the 100-word cut of a drabble is a bad thing. Please tell me if you don't like the title...

The Apple in the Crucible

How long have laid here, so defenseless? I rot in blood. My heart turns black.
"I'll be back tomorrow, Onigumo," she says, and leaves me to fester in the poison of my evil impulses. I wonder, what does my expression look like? I have no face; do I still have the ability to show emotion?
Yes. But just one emotion: temptation.
How do you get rid of it?
Yield to it.
Resist it, and the soul grows sick with longing for the things it has refused.
Kikyou…
I close my eyes, and open myself to the darkness and the demons.
