Chapter 8: The World is Not Enough

//I know how to hurt
I know how to kill
I know what to show//

Her back arched as she reached her completion, a breathy moan escaping her lips. As she rode out the waves of euphoria, she lie still, her thoughts troubled. With a distinct frown, she thought. This in itself greatly disturbed her. She'd been having to do a lot more of that than usual, here lately. It was not something she found pleasant. She was so used to using her looks and her body as her main tool to gain whatever it is she wished, she was having a hard time coping.

//And what to conceal
I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No one ever died from wanting too much//

The man that lay atop her, spent, finally rolled away, exposing her to the cool air of the night. Her body shivered slightly at the sudden influx of cool air on her sweat soaked body, but her mind paid it no heed. She was too lost in thought to move to pull up the thin sheet that was the difference between shivering and the comfort of blissful warmth. She was a creature of comforts, but in her distracted state of mind, it was an easy thing to miss, those little things.

//The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love//

Her niece was turning out to be a greater challenge than she had first anticipated. Even untrained, she was a difficult adversary. To contain such power and not know how to wield it would be a very dangerous thing indeed, but for her to learn how to control it would be down right fatal. For this task she would require assistance. The only problem was she wasn't sure who she could go to. She had only known of two demons who could have helped her with her task, and her first choice of the two turned her down. The second of them, the one she would rather not go to, was a dastardly bastard. Darest she think, he was almost as devious as she? Surely not, but he was very close to her league. The only issue would be the battle of wills. She knew from he would want complete dominance, but that was something she could not allow. No man, human or demon, would dominate her. All she had to do was manipulate him, bend her to her will, but she knew that would be no easy task. A smirk formed on her lips.

//People like us

Know how to survive
There's no point in living
If you can't feel the life //

She had been hiding out in this castle for long enough. After a fortnight of playing concubine for this particular lord, she decided it was time to leave. First, however, she needed a destination. She knew not where her next target lie. She would have to hunt down this Naraku character and see if she could strike up a deal with him.

//We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will//

The smirk widened into a smile as her body burst into flames. The room around her caught fire and soon the entire castle was engulfed in flames. The breeze caught the ashes as the fire died, as quickly as it started, and carried them away. Her laughter floated on the breeze, nothing more than a whisper of devious plots and death.

Well here's chapter 8. I have the rest of this part of the series planned, and I'm working on parts 3 and 4. it'll be a while yet before I reach those parts though, because I still have to write most of this part. As far as how long this little segment if projected to be, I'd say between 20 and 25 chapters, so we still have a ways to go. Anyways, it might be a while before I get more out, but in the mean time, read, enjoy, and review if you feel the need. ^_^ Until next time!
