Reflection.

Naraku was only strolling in the forest one day...until he comes across an ancient mirror in a tree and theres something in it. What is it, or who is it? NarakuxOc

Naraku was looking out his window. Staring at the dark Miasma the leered around his large castle. He was board. The inu gang possesed no Jewel shards so there was no point in attacking them. He could kill some humans...no he already done that.

`what to do?` he wondered. He sighed and stood up, deciding to go for a walk to clear his head. He didn't bother putting on his baboon pelt, knowing the inu gang were quite far away. He left the castle in silence and left the barrier into the miasma free forest.

The weather was quite good, making Naraku great full that there was no rain. It was peaceful...yet he felt something within the forest. He shook it off and continued his walk. He came across two paths. One led to a way that looked fine, but the other was dark and scary.

`now what way?` he wondered with annoyance.

He didn't know why, but something was pulling him towards the creepy path. So he took it.

He walked for a long time. Destroying any demons that got in his way. He eventually came to a large tree...and it was the only one that was in bloom, with pink cherry blossoms. There in the tree trunk, he saw something shinning. He walked closer and saw that it was glass. Smooth clear glass.

"how did this get here?" he mumbled. He saw something move inside the mirror, making him draw back.

The shadow blur inside the clear glass was moving around slowly. Naraku went a little closer. He put his hand on the glass. What shocked him was, that a pale hand set itself on the glass on his hand as if they were touching.

He saw that the shadow was slowly transforming into a person. He could tell from the body that it was female. Her face appeared eventually. He was stunned. Her face was heart shaped and pale, her nose was small and her eyes were a purple shade with specks of silver. Her hair was a deep aqua blue color and it was pleated, reaching to her waist. Two lillies rested on her ears. She was wearing a purple knee length kimono lined with silver lillies and a single butterfly. In other words, she was very beautiful.

He couldn't keep his crimson eyes off of her and she couldn't keep her amethyst eyes off him.

"Hello" she said quietly. Her voice was soft and quiet. He slightly smiled "hello" he said. The girl slightly frowned "you shouldn't be here" she said. Naraku rose an eyebrow "why not?" he asked. The girl turned away "there is a village of humans nearby and they despise demons of any sort. If they see you, you'll be a goner" she said. She sat down as did he. "do they come here often?"

"everyday to be sure that I've not escaped" she said, she snorted in laughter "like thats ever going to happen" she said. She looked at him "but i...don't want to see you getting killed by them, i've seen to many that have been killed by them" she said. Naraku chuckled "they won't lay a finger on me my dear, i can assure you" he said.

"but if they do come..." she stood up and looked him dead in the eye "please run as fast as you can...the monks are ruthless" she said. Naraku sighed but nodded, deciding to take her advice.

"what's your name?" she sudenlly asked.

"Naraku" he answered. The girl smiled "I'm Sayuri" she said. Naraku smirked "that would explain the lillies in your hair" he said. Sayuri giggled "yes I know. It's my favorite flower" she said, touching the flowers. A rustle in the bushes caught his attention, he stood up but Sayuri waved a hand "It's alright. It's only Kara" she said.

As she said that, a little girl popped out of the bushes. She had long brown curly hair and green eyes, she wore a torn up kimono top and black hakamas. A few fresh scratches were on her arms and face. Sayuri beckoned her forward "It's alright Kara" she said. Kara walked forward and sat down, slightly away from Naraku. "this is Kara. She's been visiting me since i was locked in here" Sayuri explained. Naraku turned his head to the little girl "hello there"

The girl remained silent but smiled and waved at him "she's mute" Sayuri said. Naraku chuckled "i see" he said. Sayuri smiled at him "Well at least i can still communicate with her. She can do sign language with her hands" she explained.

Naraku turned to the small girl "can she now?"

Kara smiled and signed "hiya. Who are you" Naraku didn't know what it meant so he turned to Sayuri for help. She giggled "she's asking for your name" she said.

"Oh, well i'm Naraku" he said. Kara smiled and proceeded to draw in the dirt as the adults talked.

"so how did you end up locked in that mirror?" he finally asked. Sayuri sighed "Like i said, the monks around here are ruthless. They just spotted me in the forest, accusing me of slaying a human village but i did nothing of the sort...so the next thing i knew, i was locked up in this mirror. That was forty years ago" she explained

"couldn't you have broken it?" he asked

"tried that. Theres a barrier around it" she said. Naraku looked at the mirror that cadged the woman. "There must be some way" he mumbled. He felt a tug on his sleeve and looked down at Kara, who had a fearful look in her eyes "What's wrong Kara?" he asked. She pointed towards the forest. Naraku knew what she was trying to tell him.

The monks were coming

"Naraku. Please take Kara with you and get away from here" Sayuri begged. Normally Naraku wouldn't help, but he seemed to have taken a liking to this woman, so he picked up Kara. She didn't struggle, or show fear, instead she smiled at him. Naraku let a small smile stretch on his lips.

"If it's alright with you...may i come back tomorrow?" he asked. Sayuri smiled "of course. It's nice to have someone else to talk to" she said. Kara pouted "don't give me that look Kara" she laughed "your still my favorite girl" she said. Kara smiled. The voices of the monks were getting slightly louder.

"get going!" she hissed. Naraku hopped into the trees, securing Kara in his arms. He stopped to sit on a branch to see what would happen. A group of five monks approached the mirror. The leading one was an old man who could be ready for dead now. "he must be the one that sealed her" Naraku said to himself. He saw Kara nod, so he was right.

The leading monk tapped the glass with his staff, sending lightning into it. Sayuri cried out in pain as the lightning waves tortured her. "Will you confess now?" the monk spat. Sayuri managed to sit with a smirk "lightning is not going to get me to talk" she said. She stood up, leaning against the mirror for support "when i do escape from her, i swear you will pay" she said. The monk frowned and hit her with lightning once again.

Naraku decided he had seen enough. He took off into the trees. "Kara. Do you have a home to go to?" he asked. The little girl shook her head.

"no family?" he asked again. She once again shook her head. Naraku sighed and stopped. He set Kara down and knelt down to her height "well i can't take you back to my castle. You'll die from the miasma, seeing as your human" he said. Kara jumped back and frantically shook her head "what's wrong with you?" he asked.

Kara drew on the ground NOT HUMAN! it said. Naraku rose an eyebrow. `how can she be a demon. I don't sense an aura around her` Kara saw that he was confused, so she made a small sign with her hand and dropped her spell. Small pointy ears grew and swirly markings appeared on her arms. Her blonde hair grew longer and turned black with silver streaks and her eyes turned a dark blue shade.

Naraku smirked "Clever. Is this so humans would not suspect you?" he asked. Kara grinned and nodded, showing her tiny fangs. Naraku picked her up again "well, i guess i can take you with me then. We'll go see Sayuri tomorrow" he said. Kara nodded and held onto him as he jumped into the trees again, making his way to the castle.

(At the castle)

Naraku walked up to the door and set the child down. He held her hand and led her through the dark halls. One of his incarnations Kagura came across them. She gave a look at Kara "Why do you have a child with you?" she asked. Naraku glared at her "It's not really your buisness Kagura. You will leave her alone, understand"

"fine" Kagura hissed and left. Naraku put a hand to his head "such a nosey woman" he mumbled. He heard Kara stifle a laugh and smirked, so far he was liking this little demon.

Just getting her to talk might be a little problem.
