My Naraku

My Naraku. 

(One-shot (Naraku/Original Character One-Shot Songfic))

This was the most wonderful day of the groups life. The evil, wicked-hearted Naraku had been defeated. Today was a day of rejoicing for InuYasha, Kagome, Miroku and Sango. Today was a day of reuniting of families, drying of tears, and aching hearts forever put to rest. The sun would shine brightly on this day, but still, the sun does not reach the deepest and darkest of depths.

Naraku had been defeated, but, lying in a smoldering pile of half-alive demons, his presence lingered. 

Troubled days would be ahead of him, as he died slowly. Nightmares plagued his failing mind, InuYasha's decisive blow, Kikyo's mocking of him, the rejoicing that the people enjoyed as he slowly suffered. It was almost too much to bear. He knew he was going to die, that he did, but the fact that it was not done instantly made it all the more painful.

~For all those times you stood by me,

For all the truth that you made me see,

FOr all the joy you brought to my life,

For all the wrong that you made right,

For every dream you made come true,

For all the love I found in you,

I'll be forever thankful baby,

Your the one who held me up,

Never let me fall,

Your the one who saw me through,

through it all...~

In a dungeon, his half burned face lie still. His eyes, half open, took a look at the darkened dungeon that would soon be his burial chamber. His first thoughts were anger and hatred for InuYasha and his friends, but after a while, he wished mostly for death, so he would not have to think about anything ever again.

But on the oddest of days, a small ray of sunlight reached the depths where Naraku laid. A young girls voice broke the deathly silence, as she fell through a broken floorboard and down to Naraku's deaths.

First response of that girl. Total horror. She screamed her lungs silent, as her eyes locked on the grotesque sight. Naraku simply stared at the girl, too weak to do much more. However, once the girl could no longer scream, she realized that this...monsterous..thing...wasnt going to do anything. Out of curiousity she touched his face. It was cold and clammy, and for a moment she wondered whethere it was a zombie of sorts.

"What are you?" she asked.

No response.

"Are you okay?"

No response.

She knew deep down that this..thing, whatever it was, was not okay. She touched the undamaged part of his face once again, stroking it gently.

"Leave the dead to die..." Naraku finally spoke.

~You were my strength when I was weak,

You were my voice when I couldn't speak,

You were my eyes when I couldn't see,

You saw the best there was in me,

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach,

You gave me faith, 'cuz you believed,

I'm everything I am, because you loved me

(ooo baby)~
