Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, but I am working it. Until then I can create story lines that make sense or are completely insane and off kilter while borrowing the characters. This is fan fiction, my fan fiction.

Naraku's Mate

It was dusk in feudal Japan, where demons lurked and spiritualists protected the human race. There were wars of human lords and then there was a battle between the seekers of a jewel that held immense power. In this time love is not meant to be found, but love never uses the easiest path. I know this all too well. Love is a curse that consumes you. It is your greatest strength and greatest weakness, after all, my human half gave his soul for a woman; a weak human woman no less. Now she still haunts that side of me even though she is but clay and bones and has a heart that is more frigid than when she was alive. I do not understand these human emotions such as lust, love and jealousy. To me they make no sense, I am, after all, a demon. Demons mate to further their species and no other reason. I have no mate, nor do I want one or would ever have one. That is until I met her, the foreign witch, with power that I had not experienced ever before. I was drawn to her and before I realized, I was caught and was unable to escape from her unknowing grasp. Love is a curse; it leaves you alone and turns you into a monster. It never chooses to take the easiest path, but the most treacherous. Love does not last forever, it ends and it ends far too soon for anyone's liking. The curse of life is love, how I wish I never felt its cold grasp.
