Darkest Hours
Naraku scowled at the small human child. She had looked troublesome from the start; Small and weak too. Yet, she could be the greatest
asset he himself has ever met; he could make the strongest demons in the world fall and HE could be the strongest- HE could finally rule all that he deserved.
The girl was soon healed up but lay sleeping. Perhaps humans tire quicker than he originally thought? Mayhap it be the cause of her being young. What ever the cause, she had better hurry up with her resting. For if not, he would take matters into his own hands.
Just then those drasted Inu's infiltrated the healer tent. I pretended to be seldom and comforting. I smiled, "The healer did a fabulous job like always; the girl will be well. Currently she is resting so perhaps we all could wait for her to rest up yes? It would be in the girl's best interest."
They gave me warily looks, as expected, but agreed head on. I inwardly cackled at how easy this all is! They were all goo in her hands; he could make anything happen. Whatever she said that he believed to be best for her, as long as it was quite believable, they would readily agree with hence forth! This could no doubt be the easiest, far cruelest thing I could do in my almost immortal life!
And yet, it wasn't enough.
I had power, status, anything I could ever want right at my finger tips, yet nothing was where I exactly wanted it to be. I stilled myself, willing myself to remember; it's only the beginning, and there's plenty of time to do everything.
Owari.
