Where?
"Where?" - that was the question Inuyasha and his friends were asking themselves while roaming the landscape. "Where is Naraku? Where is he hiding this time?" - it was the question the inu daiyoukai was pondering while watching Rin and Jaken catch fish. "Where?" - was asking Koga while running here and there with his pack of wolves. "Where?" Kikyou was wondering, sending her soul collectiors to spy around for the dark hanyou.
And no one could find him or his incarnations. One could think while having so many search parties someone was bound to stumble upon Naraku's lair... But nope.
-
"Kanna, adjust your mirror a little to your left, I want to see Kikyou's face when she sees I'm not in the deep cave where she went. Kagura, can you fan a little slower? Hakudoushi, where's my drink?!"
The embodiment of all evil was sprawled on a blanket upon a sandy beach, his incarnations folloqing his every order with more or less eagerness. The hanyou took a cup from a silver tray and took a sip of cool sake with ice, his eyes never leaving the mirror held by Kanna.
"I wonder when they give up," said Byakuya from his spot under a big umbrella next to Naraku.
"Kukuku, those idiots will run around for weeks before giving up," Naraku replied and sighed when Hakudoushi started to put a cream on his feet exposed to the sun. "Meanwhile let's just enjoy our vacation."
"Yes, Naraku," replied his incarnations in a choir of voices.
A/N: Blame heat. It's over 30 degrees Celcius here and I feel my brain boiling. But promise as soon as it gets a little cooler I'm finishing the next Forest Spirit chapter. It's already partially done, so I hope to post it soon... ~looks longingly at the fighting scenes in the chapter~
