Romantic Dinner [Mission][Naraku X Oblivion]

"My name is Naraku Makura daughter of the hell queen Mania." she replied and speaking the name of herself and her mother stirred up many memories. Some she did not understand. Some were of a woman who reminded her of herself, but was older, at least in her early twenties . Some were of herself in her current form doing things she was sure she had not done since achieving it and others were of her child form. No, she was certain most of these memories couldn't be real and yet she was equally certain that despite this they were real. "My mother was a queen of hell, a powerful demon, maybe even stronger than you. She was gifted with the ability to change her appearence and those of others perfectly to anything without the slightest thought." She looked up at the sky thoughtfully as a memory stirred up. It was of her child form, a form that she had only left recently, though her memories said otherwise.

"I remember...though the memory can't be real... a time when my mother used to make me try to find her when when she had disguised herself and others to all look the same." she said. Yes, she remembered it clearly, but the body that was doing the searching looked to be about 14. Younger than her current form, but older than her child form. It was an age she had skipped over when she accessed more magic. The memory couldn't be real, but she felt for certain it was.

"I think...there are things I can't remember...things that I have locked away and don't want to remember." she said after a brief moment of silence. "My memories of my past have always been a bit jumbled, but ever since I attained this form...they have become moreso and yet less so. I understand more of them, but they still cannot exist unless..." she turned to look at him. There was a look of comprehension and clarity upon her face. She had realised an answer to her memories. "...this body, this mind, this power is not real. My real self is locked away...locked away by me."

Naraku just sort of stood there uncomprehending as he kissed her. The sensation of the kiss, to her, seemed more powerful than the transfer of power. It made her entire body tingle. No memories were stirred up and that was because despite whatever the hell had actually happened in her past she had never been kissed before. However, it was not just the power that was transfered. No, something was also removed by the kiss. Whether intentional or not the surge of power, so different from her own, stripped the tattoo from her body. She was no longer bound to Leviathan or D'Nalsta. She was free to do as she pleased. His final parting words were cryptic. She understood one phrase or at least thought she did. His way of her proving her strength to him was for her to erase the remaining sin demons from existence.

"I have faced Wrath and overcome it. Today I succumbed to Greed, but was rescued by Lust." she said half to herself, but half to him. She did not look to him for a response, but sniffed the air. Pheremones, changes in body temperature, anything like that. That was what she was aiming to detect so that she could find out whether she was on the right track. Strangely, she felt like in her past she had faced another of the Sins before. "I will take with me only one thing from the guild, apart from my own belongings. I will take Chelvaric. Only with a demon slayer like me will he learn his true path."

Her body had not changed with the addition of power, which she felt had unlocked something within, but the transformation was not instant last time. It took time for it to occur. What had been unlocked though were new memories and almost a new personality. She seemed to be acting smarter and more logically though she also had a new bloodlust. She whistled loudly and waited. It was a special whistle that would summon Fluffy, but he would of been away for some time so would take a little bit to return.

Naraku headed to the place where the survivors had rallied and took a deep breath before knocking on the door. "My name is Naraku Makura. I am one of the two who was asked here to deal with the situation." she said calmly. There were murmurs from the other side. "The threat here has been eliminated. We caused more damage to your building then intended and unfortunately those possessed could not be saved, this includes your principal." The murmurs grew louder and the door opened to reveal a scared looking teacher. Naraku was a bit normal looking, she didn't look like a powerful demon slayer. She was however stained in blood and wounded heavily. "We don't ask for the reward, we are merely happy you are saved." With that she turned away, but the teached grasped her shoulder. If Naraku had not been in a thoughtful mood she may have just turned around and ripped the head off. She didn't like being touched that much. The woman had a scared look on her face, but also a strange thoughtful expression. There was a twinkle of thankfulness in her eyes.

"Please, take the reward, you have saved us." the woman said. Naraku turned back a look of surprise on her face. She'd torn apart their colleages, their pupils and wrecked a lot of the building and yet they still wanted to reward her? "We saw those people...saving them was a hope and nothing more." Naraku nodded and took the large pouch of jewels. She would give half to Fluffy to deliver to D'Nalsta at some point. He was more capable of travelling through hell than she. "Thank you Naraku." with that Naraku turned and walked away.

When she arrived outside Fluffy had returned and she mounted him. "Take me to Leviathan. We will take chelvaric and our other belongings and not return." she said calmly and with that the two of them left. The mission was over. The reward had been collected, but that was not all. Leviathan had fallen. The silver whale had sunk never to rise once more and now she was alone. Well, until she found Chelvaric. Things would be very different from now on.
