Need
I say hello? Hmmm…you're interested in my profile? Why is that? But I guess
it is a wise decision to see this part of the shrine than any of the others.
The other "men" here aren't worth sixpence. You all know me as Nakago,
Fushigi Yuugi's "bad guy." Of course that's
to the misled masses. Why an ambitious and practical man as myself is branded
as "Bad" is beyond me. If so, then every successful man in this forsaken
planet is "Bad." My name is withheld by Watase-sama. Then again I don't
think that's necessary for you to know. Nakago means "heart's lodging."
I am from the Hin tribe, a race (I resent our race being labeled as "strange")
from the East. I have no known family…that creature (the word man is too
good for him) known as the Emperor of Kutou, ordered the annihilation of
our entire race. He feels threatened by our genre, obviously. I am 25 years
old and my birthday is on November 17th. I stand 6'4" (193 cm),
a full head taller than your so-called "heroes." Currently I am the shogun
of Kutou, holding 2/3 of its military power.
My
seishi symbol is "shin" or heart, on my forehead.
I possess the power of Kikou (extreme power of ki) and Nendou (an extreme
form of Telekinesis). My ultimate goal in life is to rule the world, make
it a wonderful place for me to live in. And I know I am not the first to
think that. But I must say I'm more adept at achieving that goal than any
other dreamer out there. I've been branded cold, selfish and manipulative.
When in truth I am merely soft-spoken, patient, charming and have my mind
set on making my dreams come true. They say I am one-track minded and dominated
by my personal goals. I prefer to call myself goal-oriented, driven and
focused! I discard unnecessary emotions that would hinder the attainment
of my ultimate objectives. I have little use for emotion or compassion
(those things, my dear, are for pansies like Tamahome). Heartless?
Not quite. Go ask Soi and Yui, and they'll tell you that there is a four-chambered
pump in this chest. I simply choose to be ruled by my head and not by my
heart. What's so heartless about that? I am also a very charismatic individual
making people easier to succumb to my will. I am
the protector of Seiryuu no Miko. But if you think that Yui can
order me around the way Miaka has Tamahome wrapped around her grease-covered
fingers, then you're gravely mistaken! Yui dear, does my bidding but apparently
the poor girl doesn't know it. I use the power of suggestion and a little
subtle convincing and when she comes around to it, she orders me to do
exactly what I want. A stroke of genius, I'd say. But don't think I kick
Yui around for what-have-you. I am, after all, loyal to Seiryuu no Miko.
I serve and protect her too, however I see it fit. She's not as stupid
as Miaka (Holy Seiryuu, she is as baka as they come!).
I
am a charmer…what can I say? And if she chooses to succumb to my charisma,
then that's her problem. And unlike other anime villains out there, I am
not surrounded by idiots! Just look at Queen Beryl, the poor woman. If
I had those generals and youmas, they'd all be powder before the first
half of the season. My fellow seishis are intelligent, powerful and just
as "evil" I am. Well, almost. It's too bad Yui chose to listen to that
baka best friend of hers at the last minute. We could have ruled the world,
that kid and I. In the end I was defeated (what a ghastly word) by Tamahome.
That fool was just lucky. I should've served his hide for Seiryuu's breakfast.
Ah, but there will be other days to rule the world…you'll see. Hmmm…these
fans of mine have built a gallery of worship for me somewhere in this shrine.
And if you want to know and feel what true greatness is, then you'll go
and see for yourself. I cannot fathom, however, why they wasted time, space
and energy to put Tamahome in this shrine. And add to that Hotohori
and Tasuki…hell, make it, all of them. This should
be a Nakago shrine. Why anyone would want to see anyone else is
worse than unthinkable.
