(Here's chapter fifteen. Enjoy!)


Oni-baba is a Liar!

I had locked up Onii-chan in the underground cell beneath the Monozaki estate. It was a cell used to lock up prisoners and/or victims awaiting their terrible torture punishments as the torture chamber are next door to it. I sealed away his powers with a special seal the Monozaki clan uses on demons and half-demons to seal their demonic blood. Only members of the Monozaki family can use it. So there is no guarantee now that Onii-chan will get out without some sort of help. He's basically an animal trapped in a cage now.

Onii-chan seems to have woken up from his nap as he tried to order me to get him out in the name of the head of the Monozaki family. I laughed at him mockingly. He voice doesn't sound at all that threatening. Guess, it's because no one's around. We are alone. Just me and Tanaku.

It doesn't matter how you talk anymore, Tanaku. No matter how you sound…it would just be a joke in this situation.

I asked him so questions referring to the so-called 'curse of Oriyshima'. I wanted, and goddamn I wanted know if it was really true or not. Or was it just some fable lie to hide the true murderer of the mysterious deaths that has been happening for the past seven or eight years.

Hmm, it seemed that Onii-chan didn't know that those two demons went to Hanuru Shrine. I guess he doesn't know that I went in there, too, along with Suzaki.

I got bored with talking with him as I wasn't getting any clear answers from him. It seems that he was completely as clueless as me, despite being with Oni-baba a lot.

I decided to interrogate Oni-baba. I went to the room next door where she was lying there, pretending to be asleep. How long do you plan on faking, Oni-baba. I know you are not sleeping. I did every method possible to wake her up. I kicked. I punched. I even tried to burn her nose of with a small torch hanging on the wall. I then realized…that she was died. It must have been when I stabbed her with my poison weapon multiple times trying to knock her unconscious.

I didn't feel guilty for killing my grandma. Nope, not one bit. I just felt…frustrated. The main source…the overall main person who can explain to me about the curse of Oriyshima is now dead.

How dare she? How dare she die without any remorse for Tsuskio-chan! That's unforgivable! I won't forgive her for that!

I grabbed a whip from the far side of the room, and started bashing her corpse's head in with it. I smacked, kicked, and screamed at her. When I was done, I came back to the cell room where Onii-chan was locked up.

Onii-chan told me about victims of the curse is in the well located in one of the cells. Their bodies, at least. He was surprised as I attempted to kick Oni-baba's body down there. I bluntly told him that she's dead. I killed her.

"Why? Why would you kill Batcha, Naraku?"

"Why? You tell me, Onii-chan."

"Is it…? Is it to avenge Tsuskio-chan?!" I smiled cryptically at him.

"That is the main reason, but now that I think about…I had many others. But ultimately, she lied to me!" Onii-chan seemed confused by my statement, so I decided to elaborate.

"Oni-baba said she will forgive and forget the whole thing, if I tore off three of my fingers!"

"But Batcha did fo-"

"LIAR!" Tanaku seemed shocked at my outburst as he jumped back a little. "She didn't forgive any of it. She killed Tsuskio-chan! She's a liar!" I started viciously kicking at Oni-baba's corpse. "Liar, liar, liar! You liar! Liar, liar, liar! Give her back! GIVE HER BACK TO ME! GIVE ME BACK TSUSKIO-CHAN!

Onii-chan seemed startled by my attacks as he hasn't seen me like this before. I offered him an imitation of an apology. I told him I won't kill him because he hasn't lied to me…and isn't involved in Tsuskio-chan's death or her disappearance.

But if I do find out…then he'll just have endured whatever pain that comes his way. He will just have to endure.

I let out a manically, evil laugh as kicked Oni-baba's body down the deep, deep well, and left the chamber.

"Hmm, I don't know what to say," Sango said.

"This sort of explains why Naraku turned evil," Kagome said. With nothing else said she flipped the page.
