[ 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. ]

Naraku! [It's not fear, or horror in her voice, but it's definitely surprise. And she definitely recognizes the name.]

[ His eyes narrow, and he smiles somewhat at her reaction. ]

Sango has wasted no time in warning others about me, then. It was expected of her.

[video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

That's because you guys were enemies in your world. She's worried about what could happen here. Aren't you, too?

[video]

[bcuzofmiasma.livejournal.com]

Sango poses no threat to me. The only matter of substance I am concerned with is when my power will be restored to me.

[video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

So you'll leave her, and everyone, alone? A truce?

[video]

[bcuzofmiasma.livejournal.com]

I guarantee nothing in the long term.

[ He does, after all, have an appointment with a certain boy who couldn't keep his mouth shut to keep. ]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I won't be able to stand there and let someone be hurt.

[video]

[bcuzofmiasma.livejournal.com]

It is most unfortunate, then, that I was challenged to a fight by a young human boy.

[video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

[A challenge. It's between them, even if she doesn't like it. But...]

What happened?

[video]

[bcuzofmiasma.livejournal.com]

He overestimated his ability to be humorous. In the process, he challenged me to a fight. It would be of poor manner of me to decline.

[video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

What's the point of this fight?

[video]

[bcuzofmiasma.livejournal.com]

There is none.

[video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

So you want to take part in a pointless fight? Why?

[video]

[bcuzofmiasma.livejournal.com]

It is his desire to die in battle against me. I am only too eager to oblige.

[video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Pointless fighting won't bring you happiness. Especially if it's against a child. It's only pathetic.

[video]

[bcuzofmiasma.livejournal.com]

Happiness is not my goal. A human who has such a desire to do battle with a demon, however, deserves their own indulgence.

[video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Everyone deserves happiness.

But while you're planning to hurt innocent people, it'll stay out of your grasp.

[video]

[bcuzofmiasma.livejournal.com]

[ He's slightly curious as to why she's so concerned with his own happiness, but he dismisses this feeling. ]

He was hardly innocent in his vehemence to challenge me.

[video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

You could have said no. You're the older one who should be helping him to calm down.

[video]

[bcuzofmiasma.livejournal.com]

A human who desires to do battle with a demon deserves the opportunity to witness the fruits of their own foolishness.

[video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Humans aren't as weak as you're saying they are.

[video]

[bcuzofmiasma.livejournal.com]

My experiences with your kind contradict your claim.

[video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

You'll see it for yourself. Especially here.

[video]

[bcuzofmiasma.livejournal.com]

Then I shall relish this opportunity.

What would make you interested in calling off the fight?
