Previously, Kagome is naked and resting within Naraku and Onigumo's embrace.
Moments have passed after what Naraku has said had begun sinking into Onigumo's mind. He started thinking back to how exactly he and Naraku got themselves into this predicament. Quickly, he soon realized this all started tonight when Naraku decided to follow Kagome.
Truly, why did you follow the Priestess, Naraku?
Naraku was slightly caught off guard, but being an experienced actor he displayed none of his uneasiness by Onigumo's question. Instead, in turn, he answered smoothly, Why else, but for the Sacred Jewel?
If it was not for Onigumo being stuck with Naraku for over a half of century, like a naive fool, he would have believed the demon's answer. But Onigumo knew better. He knew exactly how sly and deceptive Naraku can be, but rather than further probing Naraku for the whole truth, that would never come out of that dastardly demon's mouth, he decided to use a less aggressive approach and see where it takes him.
For the Sacred Jewel, of course. I should have guessed. Onigumo answered halfheartedly.
Now Naraku was suspicious of Onigumo's response. Similarly, to how Onigumo knew him, Naraku knew Onigumo. However, before Naraku could resume his mind game with Onigumo, he noticed something. It was slight and almost undetectable, but nothing rarely ever goes undetectable by Naraku. There, in his chest, he felt something. Something warm.
What is this, Naraku asked unable to hide his confusion.
What is what, Onigumo replied, not quite, understanding what Naraku was referring to.
I feel something in my chest... Something warm. Naraku answered, shaken.
Becoming curious about what has caused Naraku's apparent confusion Onigumo wanted to find out more by asking more questions. However, before he could think of any question to ask he felt it, a mild warmth in his chest. A warmth he never thought he would have the slightest opportunity to feel again since the day he lost the only woman he held dear. The second he registered the feeling in his chest, he recognized it. And right when he recognized what the warm feeling in his chest was, he finally understood why Naraku was greatly confused by the feeling.
Indeed, an incarnation of all evil like Naraku should never have had the chance of feeling this warmth even if he had a complete Scared Jewel.
Again Naraku asked, What is this?
Peace. Onigumo replied in a solemn voice.
Naraku truly thinking he had heard Onigumo wrong asked him to repeat what he said.
Peace, Naraku. What you are feeling in your chest is peace.
And to make sure he is being as clear as possible Onigumo even added, You feel at peace.
It might be because Naraku is the entity of all evil and hatred or since the day he was created he has spent every day of his life trying to get his hands on the Sacred Jewel for world domination and purging of Onigumo's existence out of his body, but hearing his human counterpart telling him he is at 'peace' cause something to snap within him.
And his control snapped with it.
Naraku began to laugh. He could not hold back the immense surge of madness driven mirth within himself.
I, Naraku, am at peace? At peace? Not possible! Where are the dead bodies of men, women, demon, and children? Where are my enemies groveling at my feet? Where are the cries and scream of the innocent? Where is the fully completed Scared Jewel?! So I can rid you from my body? So I can the strongest demon? Where is it?! I can not be at peace! I can not be at peace without that Jewel! Naraku roared to Onigumo within the space of their shared mind.
Onigumo being unphased of Naraku's outburst, sighed.
Try as you may at denying it, but what you are feeling is peace. What I am feeling is peace. Trust my judgment Naraku... I have felt this before, a long time ago. This warmth is what being at peace feels like.
