Naraku’s Lament:

“Why She Doesn’t Want Me”

I’ve wanted her so badly.

I’ve wanted her so long.

She won’t give me the time of day---

I just don’t get what’s wrong!

She tended Onigumo (me)

When I was sick and badly burned.

She used to strip me; sponge me off---

But now I ask, and I am spurned.

I’ve always stalked her faithfully

(Though I’ve stalked Inuyasha, too)

I’ve only tried to kill her TWICE

To show I like her (kukuku).

What’s not to want? I’m quite the stud!

I’m hot like any bishonen!

My hair is long and midnight black!

I’ve got a rock-hard abdomen!

I perch in trees and stare at her.

Is that obsessive? I think NOT!

How many guys can pull of puce?

Or make a baboon’s pelt look Hot?

I’m hung with MORE than Sacred Jewels!

“Half demon” ISN’T “half as big.”

kukuku. . .

Is it because I’m villainous?

Is it because I’m “half”?

She said: “I think you’re studly, but I just can’t STAND your laugh. . .”
