Kikyo was surprised when Naraku pulled her into a standing position. Kikyo remained surprised when Naraku asked her if she wanted to be released. Kikyo did not know how to answer. Why would Naraku ask her if she wanted to be released? Was it not his decision as her captor?
Naraku brought his face closer to her own face. Kikyo inhaled and held her breath. Naraku had brown eyes, the same brown eyes that she had. It was strange but when Kikyo looked into his eyes, she saw love in his eyes. Kikyo had an emotional reaction to that love.
She closed her eyes and parted her lips as though she expected to be kissed, but she was not kissed. She was thrown to the ground. Kikyo was not able to prevent being thrown because she could not move her limbs. She hit the ground on her back and shouted out in pain.
When she hit the ground her shirt came loose and opened to reveal her bare torso. Kikyo laid on the floor with her shirt revealing her torso and watched as Naraku's hand became an ogre's hand. She was not surprised. The surprise she had felt... the love she had felt... were gone. Kikyo thought about the situation she was in, "What a typical re-action for Naraku."
"Naraku," Kikyo said in a calm voice. Although she could not move her limbs she could move her mouth. Her mouth was the only weapon she needed against Naraku. Naraku did not realise that his self esteem was as delicate as paper. Her words could puncture it without much resistance.
"I want to be released. However, if you were to release me I would return. I would not, after you release me, decide that what you did to me is but 'dust in the wind'. To you it happened 50 years ago... but to me it happened but a month or two ago, or however long it has been since I was resurrected."
"Those 50 years since my death you have lived. In those 50 years I was dead. When I was resurrected is it not to be expected that I would remember the event prior to my death? The event in which you took on the appearance of the man I loved and murdered me? I will never forget, Naraku. I will never forgive."
"I lost everything when you murdered me. You will know what I mean soon enough when I return the favour. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. And a life for a life, Naraku. Not that you have much to lose. You do not have a sibling as I did. You do not have a lover as I did. You do not even have a home as I did! This castle is a house but it will never be a home."
"However... You do have one thing to lose, Naraku. You have one thing to lose other than your life. It is the one thing you want to discard. You can lose your humanity, Naraku. Is that not the reason you seek the Shikon Jewel, to discard your humanity?"
"You are a fool." Kikyo smiled although she could not move at the feet of her enemy. "Do you not realise that your humanity is the reason you exist? Your humanity causes you to feel human emotions. The love that Onigumo felt for me was what summoned the demons you were created with. You were born due to love, Naraku."
"You have survived 50 years due to fear. I do not understand how it is that you are cruel enough to hurt all those that you encounter, but because you do hurt all those that you encounter you have made enemies. Those enemies seek your life. You have evaded them due to fear. The fear that one day, one of your enemies will be able to drive that tanto in your shoulder through your black heart."
"You want to throw away that love and that fear. When you do manage to throw away your humanity, and with your humanity your love and fear I will be able to kill you. You will miss what you threw away before the end, Naraku. I can promise you that."
Naraku brought his face closer to her own face. Kikyo inhaled and held her breath. Naraku had brown eyes, the same brown eyes that she had. It was strange but when Kikyo looked into his eyes, she saw love in his eyes. Kikyo had an emotional reaction to that love.
