Arc 6: Narrative
Chapter 31: Exposition

The mirror flickered through various scenes; spying on the different people currently occupying his interest. The past few months had given new developments that especially piqued his fancy and provided a perfect opportunity.

Sesshomaru had let the barrier down; the new court was now occupying the formerly private Momoiro estate. It had been expanded upon while the human village not far away was being built up to accommodate the new guests.

“What a foolish move,” Kagura said. “He’s left himself a huge weakness.”

“He thinks he has himself covered,” Naraku replied. “After all, his army--almost in its entirety--is now guarding that estate.”

“But are all those people, even the ones in his army, trustworthy? You can surely use many of them to accomplish your goals.”

“I won’t need to. I have had eyes in that estate this whole time. I just need to decide when I want to make my play.”

Naraku sat back in his chair. He brought his kiseru up and took a drag. Sesshomaru was a master tactician like his father, but so was Naraku and he wasn’t above cheating. “Kagura, I have a task for you.”

The elemental youkai looked at her master, waiting for further instructions.

“Go to Amaya--let’s see how deep her anger for her son runs. She would make an excellent tool.”

Kagura bowed. “How long do you give me for this task?”

“You are already on borrowed time, it would be in your best interest to accomplish any task I give you with swift precision.”

“And if she doesn’t agree?”

Naraku stood up and walked to the woman. He looked her in his eyes, a dark smile crossing his face, “you know the consequences.”

Kagura winced and turned. She left the room quickly, pulling the feather from her hair as she went.

Naraku turned back to his chair. “I suppose it’s time I paid a little visit to our friend.”

A puppet materialized in front of him, the baboon pelt hiding the hinge underneath. He instructed it on its purpose and watched as it left. “I believe it is finally time for us to meet in person again,” he said to the mirror; Kagome’s laughing face centered in the middle.

Haru woke up in a cold sweat. The body next to him mumbled in his sleep before turning and pulling the covers closer. The inuyoukai looked down at the form and slid out.

It was just past midnight. Haru walked out of his room onto the outside walkway. Lanterns decorated all the buildings taking away the darkness of the night. Few people were still awake, providing an eerie silence on an area that was now bustling from day to day.

Again Haru was taken with cold sweats, his chest throbbing. The pain caused him to double over, clutching his yukata. He gritted his teeth and stumbled off the walkway. He headed for the closest wooded spot.

“I see you remember my call,” a dark voice called.

Haru came to rest against a tree. “Make it stop,” he groaned.

“Of course, why would I want to hurt such an obedient servant.”

The pain began to dull and Haru’s face twisted in anger. Naraku’s puppet came out of the shadows and stopped in front of the inuyoukail. He greeted him with a farce bow.

“I see you haven’t missed me?”

“Has anyone?”

Naraku’s laughter echoed in the area. “You should be--I have come to fulfill my part of the deal--that is if you fulfill yours.”

Haru pushed away from the tree and crossed his arms. He didn’t say anything, knowing it would all be explained whether he wanted to know or not.

“I have sent Kagura to have a discussion with your mother; I hope to have her as our ally within a week.”

“My mother? Why would you think she would join you? She hates half-breeds.”

There was a flicker of annoyance under the baboon pelt. “Because she has been slighted and her anger is perfect for my plans.”

“And that would be?”

“The downfall of Sesshomaru, of course, my part of the deal. His downfall would mean you could take his place--as esteemed and loved by all.”

“No, Sesshomaru-nii’s downfall means Inuyasha’s rise.”

The puppet laughed again. “Do not worry, in my plans that idiot does not make it out either. Both brothers of InuTaisho will fall.”

“And you think I’ll just be allowed to take the title of Taiyoukai?”

“Yes, with my support--though that will only be given if you do as I tell you.”

“And what is that?”

“I want Kagome.”

Haru’s arms fell and he took a step back. He didn’t know what he was expecting, but that wasn’t it. “Why do you want her?”

“Because I do--and more importantly, I want that child within her.”

The inuyoukai fidgeted. “What would you have me do then?”

“Keep me updated. I want to know when the child is ready to be born--then I will give you further instructions.”

Haru nodded slowly. “O-kay.”

“And her progress so far?”

“Cho believes she only has a couple months left.”

“Good. And you will let me know anything this Cho finds out?”

“Yes.”

The puppet smiled, though it was not visible. “Good. Then I will see you very soon.”

Haru nodded. He watched as the white pelt disappeared in the night again. He turned and walked back towards his chambers.

The pain in his chest continued.
