Mysterious Cup

He had never been one to second guess himself, always sure of his moves, but as he stood in what had been the hanyou's camp holding a sealed cup, Naraku wondered if he had neglected to get his priorities straight. As Onigumo, he had been a thief and a farmer's son. As Naraku he was a threat among youkai. But he had never taken the time to learn to read. Did the container hold something important? Did the characters scrolled across it have magic properties?

He tossed the package of ramen aside and moved on, deciding he didn't really care.
