Naraku's Mind Games
Of Racing and Hanyounapping
Oh boy. They were finally here. In demon glade...it was time for that bastard Naraku to die!
Everyone prepped themselves as they entered within the official border of Demon Glade. According to Sesshomaru, it was a forest known for harboring demons; almost like a neighborhood. That's why everyone is to stick to together at all times. They glanced around at a dark green shady forest with vines hanging like curtains as far as the eye could see. There were trees. Loads of them, but gave evidence of open clearings behind them here and there.
"So, how exactly are we supposed to find Naraku in this huge forest?" Sango asked.
Sesshomaru just stood there.
Kouga piped up. "Yeah, how exactly?"
Sesshomaru sighed, and then began to explain. "Look, I don't know. We have to look around for him, we should find him eventually...it would help if Kagome started sensing jewel shards. That would give us a bit of lead."
Kagome stared at the demon lord.
What?
I never heard you say my name before...
Well, I decided that calling you miko was getting boring.
Glad you thought so.
"Kagome? Kagome?" Miroku snapped her fingers in front of her eyes. "Nop...she's totally lost again!"
"Same here!" Sango said as she waved her hand inches form Sesshomaru's nose.
Inuyasha decided to take things in his own hands. "SO TELL ME," he began loudly. "Why do you two keep spacing out again and again?" he asked when they both snapped out of their reverie (mental conversation).
"Huh...what?" Kagome asked, confused.
"Kagome, why are you tuning us out more and more ever since that idiot Naraku had started his trickery?" Sorai asked.
"Uh...nothing...I...uh...just was kinda thinking about...where we could find Naraku?" she offered. She hadn't once noticed that while she was having a conversation with Sesshomaru, she seemed to tune out the others. Which she seemed to be doing a lot lately. Sesshomaru was more talkative in his mind then ever...he kept the conversation going in his mind while if he had to say it, it would have ended a long time ago.
"Speaking of Naraku...do you sense any jewel shards?" Sesshomaru changed the topic nicely, therefore sparing her some awkward questions.
"No...I don't..."she said hesitantly, as if straining to sense something at the last second. "How about we try walking around a bit?"
They all shrugged. Fine with them.
So they trudged around the path when Kouga suddenly remarked.
"Do you know how incredibly stupid this is?"
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. "If you didn't want to come, no one is forcing you to stay just now either."
"No. Not that, the fact that we are walking into a demon neighborhood with almost half the jewel, Tetsuiga, Tensiga, Toujikin, and a leader of a tribe and of the western lands where we could easily be ambushed by Naraku or any other demons."
As he caught the glances sent his way, he retraced a little. "Not that we are weak or anything...we could put up a hell of a fight, but still, numbers do count...I don't mind, I just think we shouldn't venture further until we know exactly where Naraku is and if he has backup or not."
Sango remembered telling Kohaku the same phrase, 'numbers do count, it's the demon slayers numbers that give us our strength' that day...bright sunny day shortly before they were summoned to the castle...to be manipulated to kill one another...
She spoke up, shaking her head to prevent tears coming from that gruesomely horrible memory. "I think Kouga is right. We shouldn't be leaving ourselves open to ambush. How about we walk outside the boundaries of Demon Glade, all around it, in more favorable conditions for us?"
Sesshomaru was against the idea. "I realized the threat, but Demon Glade is too large for Kagome to sense anything walking on the outskirts. There are auras, and puppets, and other things that would just confuse her if she doesn't walk through them and take turns to sense them one by one."
Kagome interjected. "Well...you guys, wouldn't I be the best person to access my own skills? I think that both of you are right; but I agree with Kouga more. We shouldn't be giving anyone the chance to ambush us. I can manage form the outskirts...I think."
Sesshomaru turned. "As you wish. I was suggesting it from your efficiency, but if you believe that you can sense jewel shards from the outskirts thoroughly into the core; well then it is better for us there anyway." With that he began to run to the place they entered the forest, with Sango, Shippo and Miroku on Kilala, Kagome slung over Inuyasha's shoulder, Kouga spinning up a tornado, and Sorai's kimono rippling in the wind, hot on his heels.
When they reached the edge, panting, Sorai asked, "Why did you run? Did you feel a particular threat?"
He smirked. "I just felt the need to stretch my legs...although I don't the faintest idea why you all running after me."
Inuyasha shrugged. "That felt good."
"You won't feel so good after I beat you...Race you brother?" Sesshomaru challenged, for some reason feeling up to competition.
"You're up!" Inuyasha replied, grinning.
"I wanna race too!" Kouga out in. "I know I can beat dog boy!"
Sesshomaru eyed him.
"Uh...the other one...Hey! How about we all race the way we run after an enemy and see who gets to that tree first?" he suggested.
"The way we chase an enemy?" Sango asked.
"Yep." Kouga replied.
"I'm in." Sorai stepped in, a confident smirk across her features which immediately enlivened everyone's competitive spirit.
Inuyasha picked up Kagome as she made to agree to the race. "Hey! What are you doing?" she asked.
"We run after enemies this way." He smirked in a know-it-all way.
Sango laughed from above, already in on Kilala. "Nop, sorry Inuyasha, Kagome is coming with me and Kilala." And she hung down her hand to which Kagome grabbed it and pulled herself up.
Seeing the pout on Inuyasha's lips, Kagome laughed. "Sango's right! Besides, why don't you watch us beat you?"
"In your dreams!" Inuyasha yelled.
"I'm not scared either!" Shippo signed himself to the race.
"Hey!" Miroku diverted everyone's attention. "What about me? Three of would slow down Kilala!"
Sango shrugged. "You run."
"What? Why do I have to run?"
Everyone replied at once. "You're a monk."
"What? What does that have anything to do with it?"
Inuyasha turned. "A lech too."
Kouga put in. "A purple clad monk...I mean who wears PURPLE?"
"I hate you all."
"Sure you do!" Kagome laughed and patted him on the head form above as he pouted.
Kagome counted down. "Three" she felt Kilala tense.
"Two" she saw Inuyasha kneel down a bit more.
"One" Sango let out a breath and readied herself.
"GO!" They all burst out running as fast as possible.
The track was as sight to behold. Kouga had once again turned into a brown tornado, Sorai whizzing by, Kilala with her reassuring bouncing, Sesshomaru barely breaking a sweat at breakneck speed with his fluff soaring, Inuyasha running so fast his legs were a blur, Shippo had transformed into a deer (a newly learned trick) and was galloping along with the rest, and last and probably least Miroku struggling to keep up. Above this all, was Kagome's laugh, clear and light like running water echoing over them.
Now the positions were beginning to become clear. Sesshomaru was almost a tie with Inuyasha in the front with Kouga and Sorai hot on their heels. Kilala was overhead of Shippo with Miroku in the back.
Kouga winked to Sorai. She grinned. Both demons, experienced with wind, began to send strong currents of wind from one side at the brothers who were neck to neck.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened while Inuyasha cursed.
They had aiming for speed not stability!
The sudden attack caught them both off guard and they bowled over and crashed smack into a large conveniently placed boulder. Sesshomaru, head still spinning, managed to spit out "CHEATING! DIRTY PLAYING!"
Inuyasha, watching everyone whiz by, "SNEAKY BASTARDS!"
Sorai and Kouga laughed diabolically.
Inuyasha turned to Sesshomaru, still clutching his head. "I think Kouga's getting too friendly with Sorai...I mean plotting against us!"
"Give it a rest Inuyasha! Get up. If we-I hurry I probably will still win AND make Kouga pay."
"Why not Sorai?"
"Kouga hit me."
"Did not!"
"grr.." he raced off, leaving Inuyasha getting up.
Back on the track, Kagome, flying over Kouga on Kilala, whispered to Sango. Sango laughed and winked. Kagome dropped over the edge of Kilala's sleek fur right into the middle of Kouga's tornado, on his arms.
It was quite calm, like the eye of the storm. Kouga stared at her but then smirked and continued running. Kagome looked him back in the eye and grinned.
"Sorry Kouga but I'm still with Sango!" and she proceeded to tickle Kouga on his stomach and under his neck. Kouga spluttered, this totally unexpected attack made him double over, Kagome still in his arms. "Wait...no...stop!" he managed to gasp out between his laughter.
But his begging didn't make any difference. Kagome smirked again and ticked his neck ruthlessly, so that the tornado around him vanished, leaving him squirming, standing there, trying to avoid Kagome's hands.
"Excellent!" Sango shouted from above as Kilala nipped down and Sango grabbed Kagome. She slid on easily, as if arranged. Kilala sped up, leaving Kouga to recover and shout "TRAITOR KAGOME! NOT FAIR!"
Kagome laughed in response.
The brothers were back into the race by now, Sesshomaru slightly ahead of Inuyasha but still with Miroku nonetheless. Miroku was panting heavily and Sesshomaru and Inuyasha rolled their eyes at the wheezing monk before trying to catch up with Shippo, who was behind Kilala, who in turn was behind a yellow kimono clad blur.
Sesshomaru sped up, his face up, eyes scanning the leading contestants. He saw Kilala dip down and Kagome leap on and speed away. He was so busy noticing them putting Shippo behind them he didn't notice what was directly in front of him.
Bad thing too.
He tripped, and fell flat on his face, seeing Inuyasha race by out of the side if his eye. He saw the shape of Kouga underneath him, who was trying to get up before his second attack, in other words, Sesshomaru tripping over him and falling on him.
"Very funny." Kouga growled as Sesshomaru struggled to account for what had happened and get up.
"HA!" Miroku hollered as ran past them. "EVEN IM AHEAD OF YOU NOW!"
Sesshomaru groaned and he and Kouga sprang up at the same moment, immediately sprinting past Miroku, who looked crestfallen that he was at the back again.
Kouga spun his way neck to neck with Inuyasha while Sesshomaru managed farther then that and dashed by Kilala.
Shippo had slowly been making progress, and was now almost by Sorai. Kouga and Inuyasha had caught up to Kilala and Sesshomaru, now they all were in a straight row.
Then Sango did something unexpected. She yelled, "HEY INUYASHA, KOUGA!" They looked at her. With a smirk on her face, she proceeded to blow them a kiss before cackling madly.
They both stood there, dumbstruck. What? What the hell? Sango had just blown ME a kiss?
At least they tried to stand there, dumbstruck. They got dumbstruck alright, but for trying to stand in one place while they were dashing madly for the tree, they both toppled over, out of balance, skidding to a halt on the hard ground as Kagome laughed and put her hand on Sango's shoulder.
Sesshomaru looked back at the fallen figures and smirked. He would have to congratulate the slayer on the success of that particular tactic later. That is, after HE won. He grimaced and quickened his pace only to find that Kilala was still neck to neck with him, she, running with all her might.
By this time Miroku had almost caught up to Inuyasha and Kouga at the very back, and Kilala and Sesshomaru were almost on to Shippo who was now running alongside Sorai.
Sorai was incredible, her hair flying back, blurry from the legs, bending down at the knees with that alluringly confident smirk still firmly on her face. She looked awesome.
Shippo was the black deer galloping with her, puffing and panting, eyes narrowed in determination.
Kilala was running on air, her muscles rippling, giving an occasional snarl with gloating Sango on her back and a laughing Kagome.
Sesshomaru was also bent down like Sorai and Inuyasha, his hair and fluff flying in the wind as he was within an arms radius of Sorai.
Inuyasha was a red blur behind them, and Kouga was an impressive brown tornado churning its own way on the track.
And poor Miroku was panting, now at a jogging speed behind them all.
Sesshomaru slowly gained on Shippo and was almost between Sorai and Shippo when Shippo decided to give himself an extra boost. He resolved to turn into a jaguar, to give him the speed he needed to win this race.
Not a smart thing to do when running at breakneck speed.
He managed to turn into a jaguar, a sleek black thing, but lost balance, bowled over and startled Kilala, who slowed down unconsciously, leaving her and the occupants on her back with Inuyasha and Kouga.
Now it was Sesshomaru and Sorai in the front.
Sorai moved ahead of Sesshomaru with a little help from drifts of wind now and then until he was running directly behind her, still within an arms radius. Her eyes narrowed as she saw the tree and sped up to about an inch of it, halting abruptly, causing Sesshomaru to wind up crashing into her back. He fell over form the sudden impact, but she only wobbled and after steadying herself, calmly touched the tree and smirked. "I win!" she announced as Sesshomaru wondered what on earth he ran into.
Sesshomaru sprang up and touched the tree, second, growling at Sorai who just smiled mischievously. I'd have to admit...that was very ingenious of Sorai...topple me over to leave the first position open to her...very clever...
Kilala raced in as Kagome reached over and ripped off a few leaves of the tree. She floated down on Kilala's back with Sango, as Shippo took one giant leap and leapt on top of the tree, for fourth place. Then came Inuyasha and Kouga, who both touched the tree simultaneously and skidded to halt, panting, both fifth.
Lastly Miroku showed up after about five minutes of waiting, and ready to fall over with exhaustion, touched the tree for sixth and last.
"Well, that was fun!" Kagome smiled brightly.
"Defiantly!" Sorai laughed.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha both pointed a finger and her and Kouga. "You were playing low and planning this all along!" Inuyasha yelled.
Kouga grabbed Inuyasha's finger and lowered it. "Chill. We all cheated, it was fun! Lighten up dog boy!"
Sesshomaru growled.
"Um...the other one..." Kouga stammered pathetically.
Sesshomaru then turned to Sango, who was laughing at how Shippo fell over turning into a jaguar. "Slayer, I must congratulate your very effective way of toppling both Inuyasha and the wolf prince over." He smirked as Sango remembered and grinned.
Inuyasha and Kouga, now having being reminded of another grievance, turned to Sango with angry glares which she shrugged off and replied, grinning "Hey, I just blew you a kiss! Not my fault you were currently going at breakneck speed and I distracted you and left you dumbstruck IN MY DUST!" she laughed diabolically.
Miroku looked even weaker in the knees. "YOU DID WHAT?" Sango merely laughed with Kagome. Sesshomaru and Sorai smirked, Sorai having seen the episode out of the corner of her eye.
Now Kouga turned to Kagome. "Traitor!" he accused.
Kagome giggled.
"You traitor!" he repeated while Inuyasha looked confused. "You dropped on me and TICKLED ME until I fell down!" he clarified, while Inuyasha, visualizing it, sniggered.
He high-fived a giggling Kagome while Sesshomaru 'tsk'ed.
"So that's why you were on the ground, and YOU TRIPPED ME TOO!" he roared at Kouga who pointed towards Kagome. "Her fault!" he said.
Sesshomaru turned to Kagome. "He tripped me while trying to get up from your tickling attack!"
She shrugged then giggled. "I only ticked him to fall down, not take you down with him!...although it was probably a good thing..."
Sesshomaru sighed. "Ah yes..." he turned to Sorai. "That was a cleverly dirty trick you played, making me run into you and topple over while you yourself win!" he had a humorous glint in his eye.
Sorai smirked that same temptingly charming smirk. "Anything that works!" she proclaimed as she joined Inuyasha in teasing Shippo how he rolled over and startled Kilala while turning into a jaguar. Shippo was now pouting in Kagome's lap while Sango chuckled and teasingly pet his head.
Sesshomaru cleared his throat. "I think that we can safely conclude that was one of the most foul, dishonest races any of us ever have ever participated in."
"Not to mention FUN!" Kagome put in.
"A lot of cheating took place. I know I could see everything from the back." Miroku counted them down on his fingers. "Sorai and Kouga joined forces for a minute or so and attacked Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, making them crash headfirst into a boulder, Kagome jumped in Kouga's arms from the top and tickled him to the point he fell down, Sesshomaru tripped over fallen Kouga too, and fell on top of him... Sango blew a kiss to Inuyasha and Kouga to make them fall down in awe."
"We were shocked!" Inuyasha put in.
"And scared! I mean, look Sango is friking SCARY enough without her blowing kisses!" Kouga interjected. Especially with that evil grin on her face...
"Yeah, yeah, awe, shock, same difference! Anyway" He cut off Kouga and Inuyasha.
"Shippo transformed into a jaguar, scaring Kilala, and falling over himself too, Sorai cheated with her wind boosts AND she made Sesshomaru fall by crashing headfirst into her back!"
Kagome chuckled. "So the only one not to be cheated or cheat was Miroku."
Inuyasha out in, "Pft. Like it mattered! He came in last anyway!"
Sango got up, chortling, and suggested that they continued walking on the outskirts of Demon Glade. Inuyasha got up and stretched. "God, that run felt good!" he exclaimed. "Definitely." "Yep." "Good." "HORRIBLE!"
They didn't even bother to ask Miroku why.
00000000000000000000000000
"INUYAHSA! Can we stop now?" Kagome asked for the umpteenth time.
He shook his head. "Look, we probably this close" he signaled the size of a pea with his hand "to finding Naraku! We can't stop now!"
"Yes we can!" Kagome argued. "I'm too tired to sense anything!"
"Keep going!" Sesshomaru put in.
"You're strong, Kagome! Keep going! You can do it!" Kouga encouraged her. She rubbed her head and complained, "Kouga...your not helping..."
"Deal with it." Was Sesshomaru answer.
"Don't make me!" she threatened.
They continued walking.
"FLUFFY SAMA, DO YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN? OF YOU COURSE YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN, FLUFFY! DONT YOU WANT TO? FLUFFY? SIT?"
Oh god that was like addictive...I REALLY have to stop doing that...but then again they deserved it...oh well...TO HELL!
Why must you scream?
It's in my mind.
Still. I can hear you.
LIKE I CARE! GO CRY ME A FRIKIN' RIVER, FLUFFY!
Someone's in a mood.
My choice if in a mood or not.
Sure it is.
IT IS!
See?
What?
Never mind miko! Don't you dare subdue me so much like this again!
Pft. What if I do dare?
I will tear you limb from limb, rip out your hair, set you on fire, and lock you in a closet for a month with Miroku and then throw your remains in a trench.
Kagome laughed. Looks like you had a lot of time thinking up that!
It was originally for Jaken.
Lock him up with MIROKU? Like what could Miroku do to jaken?
You have no idea. He could-
I DONT WANT TO KNOW!
I was GOING to say, keep up that talking and a person's brain turns numb after a day. That's why all of yours minds are numb too-scratch that, TOTALLY GONE!
Wait a second...Jaken doesn't have hair!
I did alter it a bit for you!
Sure you did.
She lifted her head up to the forest, from where she could see, or sense a piercingly bright and painfully thin black beam of light, going over their head to the sun.
000000000000000000000
"Ready?"
"No!"
"Ready?"
"No!"
"Ready now!?"
"No!"
"Damn it Naraku, you take as much time to get ready as a frikin' girl!"
"You swore. And no, im not ready yet."
"Oh shit."
"That's three times now and moms coming upstairs."
"Oh crap! Oh shit! Holy crap! Holy shit! Bloody hell! I hate this frikin' piece of shit. Crap, crud, damn it!"
"That's like...wait...thirteen times roundabout."
"You're not helping."
"Im TRYING to change here!"
"Let me in!"
"Kohaku, in case you have gone deaf, I AM CHANGING!"
"Ok, never mind, I don't wanna come in while you're changing. But I do need a place to hide...FAST!"
"I'm flattered. But seriously, your puppy eyes will do here to have your sorry ass."
"BUT I DONT HAVE PUPPY EYES!" Kohaku whined through the thick wooden door.
"Sure you do!"
"NARAKU!" Came a voice.
"Uh...that's mom. And she's looking for YOU!" Kohaku could not mask the triumph from his voice.
"Not fair!"
"Life isn't fair!"
"There's that expression. I have to go kill that guy now, it's been WAY too long, that stupid irritating bastard with his stupid irritating expressions."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I suggest you hide. Now."
"You're the one to be talking now, Kohaku. Just a second ago you were the one cowering!"
"Sure I was. Pft. I don't cower."
"Remember the time you fainted because you saw our cat being eaten by a dog?"
"I liked...sniff... FLUFFKINS! ...not fair... Wahhh...I still miss him!"
"Grow up Kohaku!"
"I don't wanna live!"
"Why? Was it 'cause you killed your family and friends?"
"I DID WHAT?!" (a/n: he doesn't remember doing that)
"Uh...Nothing...I said...you killed pigeons and rabbits?"
"I DID WHAT?! I would never kill a rabbit! I like rabbits...Fluffkins liked rabbits...Wahhhh!" Kohaku started wailing loudly in memory of his beloved cat.
Naraku thought fast. "Um...No...Kohaku...Don't cry...look, tell you what! On our trip, we'll get you another rabbit!"
Kohaku sniffed. "You...will?"
"Yes. So stop crying!"
"I love you! You're the greatest brother ever!"
"Kohaku, don't say that! It freaks me out!"
"Are you done yet?"
"Wait...taadaa!" he announced as he opened the door to reveal himself standing there one of his mother's kimono, with lip color, and hair in a half tie.
Kohaku almost fell over. Laughing that is. "Brother! You look...hmmm...what can I say! You'll pass for a woman, that's for sure!"
"Good, now you're supposed to call me mother." Naraku said in a voice on octave higher then his own.
"Sure...mother..." Kohaku was having fits of laughter. He threw a big sheet over Naraku and proceeded to sneak him out of the house.
Once out of the area in which they were well known, Naraku overthrew the sheet covering him, and held Kohaku's hand and trotted away into the thicket.
Kohaku spoke up. "So tell me...MOTHER...why was it necessary for you to get SO dressed up?"
"Well, Kohaku" Naraku was having a hard tome maintaining his voice. "This way of anyone sees us with a minion, I won't be recognized. You, your just a kid, and besides, you don't go out much, so people don't really know you that well."
"But can't people sense...you know... from your aura?"
"What?"
Kohaku lowered his voice to a secretive whisper. "The fact that you're a cross dresser that likes posing as my mother?" and burst out laughing.
Naraku cuffed him over the head.
Kohaku's eyes turned from a laughing pleasant brown, to a red hue. "You shouldn't have done that." He said quietly.
You could have seen Naraku jump a foot in the air and then flinch. Then came the sting of curses. "Holy crap...uh...Kohaku...why are your eyes...HOLY SHIT ARE YOU A F&ING DEMON?!"
The red eyed Kohaku laughed menacingly. "Kohaku is safely lying, unconscious in the bushes outside your home. Me, I am Hakudoushi. You shall come with me; or perish."
Naraku gulped. The demon in front of him changed his appearance. He was still of the same age and shape, but his hair turned a flashy whitish grey, long and his eyes also turned an icy grey. His skin paled, and he had a few markings here and there.
The Dark Lord was too overwhelmed to do anything. Hakudoushi continued. "Try attacking me, or should you get any ideas about escaping, the bracelet you foolishly put on, on my insistence, to change your facial features to more like a woman's; will also snap your life. I suggest you be a good little pup until we've gotten what we want from you, or else."
Naraku stared down at the black stone firmly placed and bound in the black woven yarn, innocently tied against his wrist by Hakudoushi, disguised as Kohaku.
"You...this stone..."
"Yes. It has a certain spell, at my will; it will poison your blood in addition to already making you looking a whole lot hotter."
"YOU'RE FRIKIN" LIKE ELEVEN!"
"Tsk. Tsk." Hakudoushi replied coldly, but with a hint of a menacing smile on his lips. "I wouldn't say anything your master if I were you." He looked briefly at the stone, and Naraku also stared at it, much to his horror.
The stone was now emitting a black light, and numbing the skin under it. Naraku watched, horror struck, as the stone continued to numb and cut, through his muscle and flesh to sink into his skin, until it was somewhere close to his bone. The skin had closed up, and he hadn't felt a thing. Freakish. All that was left now was the yarn going into his skin of his wrist.
Naraku started to grunt. Then a smirk. He stared at Hakudoushi. "You think... you thought that you keep me, Naraku, with you? Pathetic!"
He rose up with his miasma flowing under him. "Now you shall perish for your stupidity!" he said, as he pierced Hakudoushi with a tentacle. It went right in his heart, but something was wrong, he realized. Hakudoushi was smirking confidently, his face lowered, in a shadow, also so that his hair covered his eyes. Naraku paused. What was wrong?
Hakudoushi laughed, diabolically evil, showing his long fangs.
"What the?"
"It will take more then you to take me down."
He calmly touched the tentacle and it faded into nothingness. "Your miasma does no damage with that energy absorber in your wrist. The more energy you use, the stronger, and painful it becomes." At his words, his wrist shone black light again, and it burnt like hell. It felt like someone had laid a fire under his skin, unbearable pain, excruciating, spreading from his wrist to the rest of his body. He collapsed, unable to move. He was paralyzed. Tears sprung his eyes as he felt the pain lash at him again like a whip, under his skin.
"That's enough." His wrist cooled and the pain subsided as fast as it came. His muscles were not sore, but he was trembling, and tears were pouring down his cheeks as struggled to get up. He wiped his tears away in effort to look less pitiable, but it was done.
He was pathetic.
A man stripped of his courage, pride, power in less then five seconds. He cast a last glance at his home, and hazily wondered in his numb mind where they were leading him.
000000000000000000000000
He thought he was evil. He thought he was mighty. He thought he was powerful. Strong, and undefeatable.
Things change. Prides change. Powers change.
The only thing that was ever constant was change.
People change, times change...in a forever ongoing wheel of change.
000000000000000000000000000000
