Thoughts of a New

A dark figure paced back and forth in front of an old abandoned shrine. His eyes full of hate and mind devoured by darkness. His plan had worked, but he still wasn't satisfied, his hatred wasn't fulfilled, he wanted more heartbreak, more pain. His thoughts swirled in his mind, consumed by an ever growing hunger, that needed to be fed.

An idea was forming and his cold heart lurched at the excitement he felt. His frustration was gone and he was placed back into a good mood. Thinking back on the day he was victorious he couldn't help but feel superior and smarter than his adversary that was so quick to attack and so naive.

He had turned them against each other one by one, the images of their faces, each full of pain, anger, and betrayal. Their loyalties broken so easily. His deceit was powerful, working on each of the frail human minds. The hanyou was not needed to fall victim of the deception, for he fell for something far greater, that he couldn't resist.

He gained the power that he yearned for, but with it he became bored. He planned on giving the reunion of a lifetime to his lifelong adversary. Reuniting all of the small group, that till this time hadn't talked to each other, or what he thought was true. He snickered, enjoying the new revel of entertainment he was going to have.

He soon found himself at a mirror, locating his prey. Locating them, he was surprised to find the group still together, he wondered why. Still he could bring the miko back, sparking old pain and buried memories, he set to work on a plan to bring them together once again.

His evil mind swarmed with ideas, he delved down further, his physical body in a trance, numb to the world, he looked and probed different ideas. It had to be perfect, no hitches or mistakes could be made. What he came up with was simple, it was child's play.

He awakened from his trance, an wicked smile played on his face, he planned a trip to the old well. Summoning up his powers, blasts of color swirled around his being, his malicious cackle echoing in the dead forest, he vanished, leaving only the reverberations of his laugh.

In the dark void of night, he appeared, gliding across the damp grass. He reached the deteriorating well, he reached into his pelt his body sent into tremors from the exult of his mind. Pulling out the pale pink ball, he snickered, he stared at it, his cold eyes roaming over the corrupt jewel.

His eyes darted over to the well, without hesitation he climbed into the well, floating down slowly, upon reaching the bottom, his body shuddered at the sudden change in pressure. His head light, he couldn't feel his body, the light engulfing his being was horrendously brilliant, his moment of complete bewilderment ended, he landed gently on cold, damp earth. His surroundings were pitch-black, his eyes jumped at the sudden modification of light.

Once adjusted, he stood, nothing in his way, he drifted up. Reaching an obstacle, restricting him access to further carry out his plan, he became infuriated, having no patience, he found himself blasting the brittle wood covering the entrance of the well off.

Making his way out of the well he slid the door open, leading him outside, to the shrine's courtyard and to a large structure. He guessed to be the dwelling place of the miko.

Kagome awoke, started to a sensation that had laid dormant for 3 years, sitting up in her bed, her heart beat hastened and her mind raced through thoughts. Her breathing became harsh, as her heart clenched in the fear of seeing him again. Why of all times would he come now. Her small hand shook as she reached out to turn on the lamp, beside her bed.

Her whole being jumped violently when she seen a white figure crouched down in front of window. She remembered the man, his cold eyes burned into her memory, how could she forget the horrible things that he put the ones she loved through. Her body failed to move and her voice paralyzed, she was helpless.

Why was he here? Only to be befuddled by her own thoughts, she was quick to act, only on the adrenaline that was pumping through her trembling frame. She made a break for the door, her mind thinking to fast too her, everything was a blur. She blanked out, her mind in a furious rush, she felt nothing.

Naraku carelessly threw her over the lip of the well, watching her small frame rattle from the hard impact. He smirked, his plan was coming together, everything was falling into place. He jumped down to join the battered body of the miko. He looked upon her matured face, the last time he laid an eye on her was about 3 years ago, she was but a child. As soon as his malevolent foot touched the musky earth at the bottom of the well, the immense light engulfed the two bodies.

Naraku left Kagome's body in the bottom of the dry well, accompanied by the bones of demons. Leaving with the jewel, he waited until the young woman would wake and the pain to begin. Snickering to himself his being dissolved into the night.
