ж. ii --- [ video ]

[ Naraku is clad in a white cloak of sorts, the hood down. The lighting in the room is extremely dim, and thus impossible to tell where he actually is. Naraku is facing away from the camera, one of his arms resting on his knee, and his back is up against a wall. He's sitting on the floor. He didn't seem to acknowledge the camera is on, until he turned to face it almost ten seconds after the feed began. Perhaps he activated it without actually touching it? ]

I am curious. What is the nature of the Animus' study?

[ It's becoming apparent that he is learning far more than what is safe for a man like Naraku to know. ]

You never did answer me.

[And with Sango cutting off their conversation, she has to look for her answers from Naraku.]

I had made my answer clear. I will not kill him for my benefit; it is an answer to his own question. He seeks to understand me, to know what I am capable of. In indulging his curiosity, he will die.

It will be of his own choosing that this fight will or will not happen.

Why are you so stubborn?

It is of no consequence to me what happens. I am neither threatened nor provoked. It is a request that I shall grant.

That's still just being stubborn.

The challenge was not beholden to you.

It's not about me. I just don't want to see a senseless fight.

Then I would advise you to enlighten the child as to the foolishness of his decision.

If he's a child, the one acting foolish is you. An adult should be taking care of a child, not planning to hurt one.

I am a demon. Human sentiment does not concern me.

Only humans have sense now?

[They did agree the fight was senseless, after all.]

I thought you didn't think much of them at first.

I said 'sentiment.' Not 'sense.' I am not bound by the sentiment that children are beyond reproach.

Humans spank a kid who's misbehaving, too. They just don't go overboard. Demons need a lot of lessons of their own in your world.

Demons tend to die quite often as well in my world. I have slain many of them, and assimilated them into my being.

What?!

[Ok, she wasn't quite expecting to hear that so suddenly, or the thoughts it brings up.]

Just... to become stronger?

They did not have the means to become stronger. They were victims of their delusions. As a result, they became a part of me.

'Victims of their delusions'? What do you mean by that?

They were weak. They attacked me, hoping to gain the Shikon no Tama. Their deaths were inevitable.

That thing caused enough suffering already.

[Of course, she could say the same for the ginzuishou - and sometimes she has wished it didn't exist.]

It was in my possession. Their attempts to take it from me lead to their own suffering.

Was that because you took it from the priestess?

[She asks, instead of stating.]

[ His eyes narrow at the mention of Kikyou. Sango must have been 'telling his story.' ]

No. The Shikon no Tama shattered into several pieces. I merely collected them.

If my necklace breaks, it's still my necklace, you know.

It came from somebody else, following the Jewel's destruction. Another girl. It was not the priestess.

[ Naraku isn't going indicate that he knows Kagome is a reincarnation of Kikyou. ]

It still wasn't yours. Why did you try to take it?
