A Killer Within

By: Db

A/N: I needed something dark and angsty. Plus, I've always wondered what exactly inuyasha would do if his demon side started to take control.

I need it. I need the feeling of blood running over my fingertips. Oh how I love it... It's enough to make your soul flare with a sensation that words can't describe.

I'm so sick of being good, nice. I hate having to look out for others. I crave blood... the sight, the feel, the smell... The taste....

How easy it would be to tear through them as they all slept, huddled around the dancing flames of the campfire. They wouldn't suffer...Just one quick swipe of my claws and no more them. They've already suffered enough.

Then I could be free again.... No more damned rosary. No more being bossed around or looking out for anyone but myself! I could kill without her having any say in the matter.

Could I kill her? She's looked out for me, given me my heart again. She's admonished, shouted, screamed, cursed, hugged, kissed and loved me. And I've done all of it back.

But I can't fight these urges anymore! Ever since that last time I lost the Tetsusaiga, I can't help but dream of the kill. The demon inside is taking over.... I can feel it. I can hear it's seductive voice leading me further and further back into my old habits.

I could betray them....

I could kill them all...

I could kill her...

I could...

But I'll try my hardest not to.
