Chapter 6: Gula

How old was she?

How long had she been doing this?

How long had this quest lasted?

These thought persisted as she pushed off another youkai in and endless sea of massing flesh and fury. It felt as if she’d been fighting all her life, had it been minute? Hours? Days? She didn’t know, fighting gallantly, her heavy mass of hair slightly lifted on the winds her body mad as she felled one enemy after another, a horde of lower youkai that did not have an intelligence high enough to know that they were being used. The need for power so great that they would follow a hanyou to their deaths, when on any given day they were curse such a lower breed creature, particularly this one for he was not even born this way.

Blood seeped into the earth, and the soul greedily absorbed it, making the mud at their feet glow crimson with life’s blood. It was all for the spider’s want for power. His need to have more then he could ever hope for or manage. Sometimes she wondered what he would do when it was all over, if he actually won, and in the end when the world was ruined what he’d do. Eventually he would run out of anything beautiful to destroy, and the world would crumble. Would he laugh in the face of death? Or would he be far too insane by that point? She haphazardly guessed the latter of the two opinions.

Her former group fought on one side or another of her, the male she had grown to love somewhere else, not close but she could feel his overwhelming presence around her at all times still. Yet again she knew she could not have him, nor would she allow herself to be so used again by another inu. For months they had skirted around one another, dancing on eggs shells, sexual tension high and alarming. Hidden and stolen glances, lost was palpable but at the same time, so was her determination not to give in to follow the path she had already walked once in life. Nor would she allow him to become his father, as he so wished not to.

Death hung in the air around them, the Spider had finally come out of his dark hiding spot to finally come for what was left of the jewel. Already he had taken the wolf’s share, and the boy slayer, there was nothing left save her own, and the hanyou was already powerful, but still he wanted more. Would he consume the world if he gained this power? The answer was yes, she knew this just as the sun rose and fell, followed by the moon. She could not allow this male to have his way, but did not have the choice to stop him as he gained the upper hand.

The grotesque tentacle came forth slithering and grabbing her person, pulling her to the ground and dragging her to his person, which effectively stopped the monologue train of thought she‘d been having. She did not scream out though one or so of her old tachi had seen what was happening, and had tried to stop them. It was in a daze that she saw them all watching silently, and she wondered why they had stopped fighting as the spider squeezed the very air from her lungs. Before she could stop to do anything, the spider had eaten her, consumed her as he had tried to do with somany more before her.

The spider was and idiot.

Wrapped up in his need to gain the shards, he did not even think of the consequences he might face to swallow the Shikon Miko whole into his being to complete the jewel. Had he thought about it, the ideal situation would have had him taking her shards and consuming them, yet in his need to hurt them all, his need and raw lust for power he had taken her in whole, and given her the key to his destruction.

She could not see for the mass of jayki and flesh around her, it was hot and wet, and unpleasant to say the least, she imagined this was what it was like to succumb to vore, yet she found no pleasure from this act. Instead the miko slowly losing her breath closed her eyes and concentrated on the chaos marble feeling her shards and those that were made up of the larger mass that Naraku had before hand. Before she knew it, be it moments, or eons, the mass was complete once more, and she was concentrating on purifying it before the spider killed her.

She could not know that outside of the heaping mass of flesh and resentment that was Naraku, the Hunters had stayed their hand afraid that they might do damage to the body that lay within. They could only hope that her resolve would hold fast. Minutes ticked by before the gloating spider was halted mid speech, his eyes round and he face contorted into fury at things he could not stop or ever hope to. His own gluttony for power had sealed his fate. Power flooded his body in over whelming masses to the point that he felt he would burst from ever fiber of his being.

But it was not just power, no it was purification, coiling through his system and devouring it without thought or care. It greedily ate away as his body and left him unable to even scream his anger and pain away. And before long all that was left was a white mass of light and power, and a small woman child that had saved them all. She breathed deeply as if in slumber, and for once the day was saved, the end of the shard days was finally there.

Gluttony - (Latin, gula) is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste. *Note: Gluttony is not universally considered a sin; depending on the culture, it can be seen as either a vice or a sign of status. The relative affluence of the society can affect this view both ways. A wealthy group might take pride in the security of having enough food to eat to show it off, but it could also result in a moral backlash when confronted with the reality of those less fortunate.

*note: Vore - Vorarephilia (shortened to vore) is a sexual fetish and paraphilia where arousal occurs from the idea of being eaten or by the process of eating. The fantasy may involve the person being swallowed alive, and may or may not include digestion.

The word vorarephilia is derived from the Latin vorare (to 'swallow' or 'devour') and Ancient Greek φιλία (philia, 'love').
