Chapter 9
As he waited for Urasue he gazed upon the remains of his love. Even though she was dead the lust and desire he had for her was burning inside of him no different than usual. His unspoken love for her had lived in him since he was in high school. That was a time when he didn't go by the name Naraku; he was called Onigumo, his given name.
As a teenager he was feared by many, no one messed with Onigumo. He hung around with dangerous demons such as Kagura, Goshinki, Jeroumaru and Kageroumaru. 3 of them are now dead. It was no loss to him, he had many followers.
His gang was the terror of the school; if you messed with one of them you were most likely dead. By the time he graduated nobody dared come near them, even the teachers were afraid. But the odd thing was that he always did well in school, he always did his homework and he always had good marks. The teachers didn't get how someone who kept getting in trouble and beating up kids got good marks, he wasn't the typical bully, he was different.
Everything in his life was perfect and he accomplished that by making other lives miserable…or non existent. It was perfect…until the teachers had had their last straw and were tired of his misbehaving ways and can you guess what they did? They assigned a student who they knew was safe from him and could hold her own against him; she was to help him control himself…sounds easy right? Of course it doesn't! We all know what Naraku's like!
But she agreed none the less, she had a warm heart at the time. (Apposed to the black ice cube she has now!) She cared for others and always helped. She was a top student with a heart of pick fluffy pillows (this is killing me to say!)
Onigumo dreaded meeting her. He had seen her in class; she always had her hand up for every question. He thought she was a stupid prep and wanted nothing to do with her. He might even consider pretending to be good so that she'll leave him alone. His "friends" laughed at the idea of a girl helping him. She was 17 and he was 18. Maybe he could just kill her and get her out of the way…but they would send more…and they would know he did it.
For the first day they would actually meet he was told to wait in an unused classroom and get to know each other. He sat slouched in his chair with one hand behind the chair back while he casually cracked his fingers. A 9th grader passed by the room and was about to go inside to retrieve a book he needed but saw Onigumo and decided against it. He quickly turned around and hurried away from the class. He could just borrow someone else's book.
Finally a girl with a white shirt and baggy red pants walked in. Her hair was tied in a low pony tail so that her long black hair swayed behind her as she walked. He looked up and watched her enter, 'She's kinda hot.' He thought.
"Hi." She said brightly and smiled as she offered her hand to shake which he hesitantly shook, "My name is Kikyo."
"I know who you are." He said bordly.
"Your name is Onigumo, correct?"
He nodded that she was indeed correct.
For the rest of that class all they did was talk. She asked him about his grades and his friends. How he liked school, things like that.
And to tell you the truth, he was a little disappointed when she had to go.
She said they would meet there tomorrow and talk some more. He didn't feel any different other than this weird feeling deep inside his heart which he quickly shook off.
For the next week they met everyday after school in that same classroom. He dreaded the moment that she would be aloud to leave him but seeing as she hadn't made him any less destructive or better behaving he guessed she would be with him for a while.
He had finally come to terms that he wanted her, he craved her. He wanted to be with her, make her his…and he was planning on telling her this on their 7th day of knowing each other.
"Kikyo, can I tell you something."
"Sure," she replied. But then there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it."
It was a boy about 16 he would guess with white hair. "Are we still on for tonight?" he asked her.
"Yes." She replied and gave him a warm kiss before he left.
Kikyo rejoined him and she asked, "What did you need to talk about?"
"Never mind."
His blood boiled as he thought of this guy whoever he was with his white hair. He guessed they were dating. It was time to do what he did best. He was going to fill her heart with evil and hatred and get her to leave him…and that's what he did.
They talked for days before he asked, "So who was that guy you talked to not long ago?"
"Oh. That was my boyfriend, Inu-Yasha."
"Yeah? And how's it going with him?"
"It's...alright."
"Just alright?" he smiled wickedly as he faced away from her, looking out the window.
"Yeah…it's just that there's this other guy I really like…he's charming and cute…" she sighed.
"So go for it."
"Sorry? What did you say?" she asked.
"Go for him. If you want him than take it…this other boyfriend of yours obviously isn't pleasing you the way he should." He had her trapped.
For the next 2 days he talked to her about this Inu-Yasha of hers and the man she liked called Kouga who seemed interested in her. He filled her head with thoughts…thoughts that people shouldn't think. But this was Onigumo, this is how he worked.
It was on this day that he was sitting in math class when he heard yelling in the hallway. "You bitch!" he knew no one else could hear it, he had good hearing and no one took notice.
He listened closely before asking if he could go to the bathroom, he never did end up there. He followed the sound of the yelling and it lead to an old janitor's closet.
"So you fucked him!"
"Yo, mutt face, it's cool, just chill. Kikyo's my woman now."
He turned the corner and looked upon the scene. Inu-Yasha stood there in rage, he could see his muscles tense. They boy with him he assumed was Kouga, who by the way had no shirt on. Then there was Kikyo, standing behind Kouga while putting her hair back up.
"It's over Kikyo." Inu-Yasha said and stormed off.
Onigumo's plan had worked. It looked as if Kikyo and Kouga ventured off to have some fun in the closet. Inu-Yasha who Onigumo knew was a demon, must have smelled them and came to investigate. That's where he had come in, the after fight. He smiled evilly and walked back to math, feeling very proud of himself.
Just as Onigumo had suspected, Kikyo and Kouga split up days later. Kikyo came crying to him with some sob story bout how she wanted Inu-Yasha back and how she was going to see if he would take her back. Onigumo couldn't let that happen. He gave her, her first ever tranquilizer gun. "Take this." He told her, "Just in case."
She looked at the gun…a little shaken back, she didn't know what she would do with it…but she took it anyways.
If you have read the first story to this you will know what happened. Basically Kikyo went to Inu-Yasha's house to get him back but he refused. At that moment she knew what to do with the gun; she would shoot the bastard mutt face. As he fell to the ground she said, "Fucking dog." She had been trying for weeks to find out how to get rid of the demon in him. He seemed very reluctant to do it though. I don't blame him. "What a waste of 4 months." She muttered as she dragged him towards the forest where she chained him to a tree and left, hoping he would die.
When she returned to school the next day she was greeted by Onigumo who asked how it went, "I took him out." She told him.
No plan of Onigumo's had ever gone so well. Except for one thing that is, she never considered him as a boyfriend, she never even thought about it. 4 days later she was caught and arrested where she spent 4 years.
Onigumo had graduated from high school and came to visit her all the time. Then he got into some trouble himself with the authorities. To make a long story short, he killed a guy and someone saw. He changed his name and being a demon he was able to change his appearance as well. All through his life he never actually looked like himself. He descised himself with brown short hair and blue eyes when infact his hair was long and black and his eyes were red. That was when he became Naraku.
He couldn't let his family find out; they were well respected demons who always taught him to be good… so he took care of them. They never saw it coming. That murder is still a mystery to every CSI, FBI, and Police station in the city. They even got other people to come from other cities but they couldn't find out. To this day that incident is known as "the splatter case." Can you guess why? It's because there were no pieces left of them just splatter all over the wall. They couldn't understand how someone could do that or how they did it. And seeing as Onigumo was never seen again they had assumed the killer had taken him with him, they were still searching for the body.
Onigumo erased himself from the world. There were no more traces that he had existed. With his body changed and his name he could no longer be identified. He was invisible to the world.
And now with Kikyo dead and the sisters were missing somewhere he had very little followers. But he had just recently made a new puppet. A 16 year old boy who he found on the street one night. Children are so much easier to manipulate. They don't fight as much as an adult and no one ever suspects the innocent little boy…and if they did, well, it's not his problem. Naraku now had control over that boys whole being if he so chose to control him. But at the moment there was no need.
He recalled the day after the plan to kill Inu-Yasha. So much had gone wrong in so little time. He had run away from the scene shortly after their departure, he saw no need to go after them. The plan was ruined anyways. But he couldn't persuay Kikyo to come with. She told him that she had planned to hard and long for this not to work so she went after them…and by doing so she forfeited her life.
When Naraku had woken up that mourning he could tell something was wrong. The very air seemed tense. He decided to go for a walk. As he did he could faintly smell blood. The more he walked the more intense the smell. Finally he had come across a small park. He ventured into the trees and followed his nose. Then he stopped and opened his eyes. The soil had been disturbed and the stench of blood was coming from that spot. But that's not all he could tell…the blood, he recognized it…as Kikyo's. A great anger swelled into his chest as he gazed upon the grave. He looked around the area and saw blood on the grass and dirt all around. He could smell the scent of that mutt Inu-Yasha in the air as well.
Later that night he came back with a lighter and a vase. He burned her there in that park under the star lit sky. He watched as her skin began to darken and ashen. He watched it until there was nothing left of her but a pile of grey ashes. He vowed on her grave that he would have her back no matter what the cost.
It took 6 months to track down that witch Urasue. She had made herself scarce after attempting to bring back an army from 50 years ago that could kill everything but luckily someone stopped her.
Since then the police had been after her for digging up graves. They had no idea why she had wanted to dig up the bodies, nor did they care. She had committed a crime and so she must be captured.
She was found inside a cave just outside of the city where she had made a home. If Kohaku delivered the message to her she should be there soon. His new puppet was coming in handy.
That second there was the slow tapping of someone knocking on the door. He slowly pulled the door open to reveal a very old woman with a touch of insanity in her eyes.
"Urasue?" he asked her.
She cackled as she walked in, "So you want to revive Kikyo do you?"
Alright, that chapter just about killed me! You have no idea. Ugh, it was painful to write lol. I wont go into details of how Urasue brings her back because I never actually saw that episode, my cable was out the night it was on so I missed it and I didn't want to download it, there was no need, I don't care about Kikyo anyways.
