Chapter 3
Reokomaru stood on the edge of a cliff, the very same cliff he fell off years before, staring out across the horizon. His sword rest in its sheath on his back, on top of a black cotton shirt he stole from a dealer. A man dressed in white baboon fur appears behind him. He didn't make a sound but Reokomaru knew he was there.
"So you're him…the one who awoken me."
He turned his head to the man. The man removed the baboon head to revile his face. The man's long wavy black hair swayed in the breeze.
"I am Naraku."
Reokomaru turned back to the setting sun. "What do you want of me?"
"Merely to help you. Your father is dead, and you've missed much in your time of slumber. Come, rest at my castle. I will fill you in on what was missed."
A long silence fell over Reokomaru. Finally, he turned and walked over to Naraku and they disappeared in a cloud of miasma.
Once at the castle, Naraku set Reokomaru up with his own room. It was a fair size room on the far side of the castle. Just outside the screen door was a courtyard. The castle grounds lack any planet life at all for no planets grew in this region. Naraku took his leave and Reokomaru settled in. It wasn't long before Kanna walked in.
"Master Naraku has requested for me to reveal past events to you."
Reokomaru nodded and sat against the wall. He stared into her mirror as it glowed and the past unfolded before him.
During Reokomaru's time of seal, the dog demon died shortly after he sealed away Ryukotsusei. Inuyasha, the dog demon's younger, half-demon son eventually killed Ryukotsusei in order to make his sword, tetsaiga, lighter in weight. Reokomaru also learned about the shikon jewel and how Inuyasha and Naraku are both after the shards. He motioned for her to stop the waved for her to leave. She bowed then left the room. Even though he didn't show it, anger and vengeance were all that occupied his thoughts. '…I will finish him and his wretched brother…' Having slept enough, he walked the grounds a few hours, and finding thins to pass the time.
Sometime during his tour of the grounds, Reokomaru spotted a woman in a red and white kimono move in and out of the castle. Strange creatures followed her about, but he thought nothing of it. He figured she was just another one of Naraku's incarnations like Kaugra and Kanna. After seeing all there is, Reokomaru returned to his room and spent the rest of his night sharpening his sword and making sure time had not unleashed its wrath upon his well trusted weapon. It was just before dawn when Reokomaru finally gave in to the urge of sleep.
