Chapter 5: Urge to Kill Rising

Naraku swept the stone floor slowly, looking up every so often at the temple. Damn that woman!

"Naraku, get back to work!" Kikyo ordered.

I'll get back to work! I'll sweep these floors with your head!

"Naraku!" Kikyo repeated herself. "I'm not going to repeat myself again!"

"I heard you the first time!" he yelled, gripping tighter on the broom's handle. He swept furiously at the floor, the dust forming clouds around the temple.

"That's better. But you missed a spot!" She pointed to a random spot.

Urge to kill rising…

"What's the matter, Naraku? You don't want to lose your job, do you?" Kikyo insulted him.

Urge to kill rising…

"Naraku!" She was becoming impatient.

"Witch! You're really asking for it!" Naraku threw his fists up in anger.

"This just won't do. I'll have to reduce your salary by half for this week!" Kikyo wrote herself a note on her notepad.

Naraku stepped forward, spinning his broom upside-down.

"What are you planning to do with that?" Kikyo backed away.

"This!" Naraku went up next to a tree and knocked a beehive loose. It tumbled to the ground, aggravating the insects inside to swarm out and attack.

"Take this, woman! Naraku's Poison Insects of Hell! BWAHAHAHA! This is what I think of your lame job application!"

Kikyo mouthed a single word ("Fool") and retreated to safety.

Naraku stopped laughing. The bees had converged from every direction.

"Bad idea! Bad idea! Bad idea!" He ran, enduring the painful stings of the enraged insects.

While Naraku disappeared into the horizon, Kikyo returned. "I forgot: You're fired!"
