James Tiberius Kirk was a happy man. He could see the finish line. Two weeks! Two weeks until she would be totally his. He grinned to himself. He had flowers. He had candles. He had liquor and chocolate that he planned to melt. He had silk sheets. He had everything he could think of to please her.

He also had his secret stash, handcuffs and a few other items. He grinned in anticipation. He hoped that she would ask him for them. He wanted her to use them on him. He would then reveal the rest of his kinky fetishes to her and he guessed that she had a few of her own to bare.

He glanced over at her station from the Captain's chair. She had her back to him. He suppressed a grin. He had made it this far, so now all he had to do was cruise on home.

He had to get his mind back on his duty at hand. He prepared to beam down with a geological party to the surface of Alfa 177. It should be a totally uneventful day.

Nyota relaxed in her quarters wondering what was going on. Something wasn't right. Jim had been acting quite strange since he had returned back from Alfa 177.

He had spoken to her before he beamed down telling her that he would come to her when he returned. She knew he was back, but she had not heard from him and wondered if everything was alright. At first she decided to just leave well enough alone, but now decided that she would go by his quarters before he returned to the bridge in hopes to get some answers.

The door of her quarters opened and she was surprised to see Jim. Good! Now she wouldn't have to go looking for him. She was surprised at his demeanor. He looked upset and had scratches on his face. He turned to her with a wild look in his eyes.

"What in the world happened to you?" she asked. "Did everything go well down on the planet."

He stared at her a moment and then gave her a lewd grin. "Nyota, how nice of you to be so concerned." He watched her licking his lips, his hand holding an obvious erection. He then grabbed her, pulling her into his arms. Nyota thought he looked rather wild. She wondered what had gotten into him.

"I've missed you." He kissed her hard. "Two weeks is too long to wait. I want you now! Get undressed, that's an order!" he said biting her neck and squeezing her breast. He ground himself against her holding her by her hips.

Nyota was shocked at his roughness and pulled away. "You must not be feeling well, captain. Perhaps-"

"I thought you loved me! You teasing bitch!" he snapped,obviously agitated and seemed ready to explode. "You have had me waiting much too long!" He grabbed her arm. "You know you want it, you little hot cunt!"

Nyota was shocked and confused. What was wrong with him? She used all her strength to push him away and he stumbled backwards momentarily losing his balance. She used the time he tried to regain his stance to run out of the door. She ran right into Dr. McCoy.

"Lieutenant! What's wrong." he said noticing how upset she was.

"It's Jim. Something is wrong with him!" She had never seen him act that way before.

"I know" he said. "I think there is an imposter on board. He also attacked Yeoman Rand."

"I have never seen him act like he did. If I hadn't gotten out of there, I know he would have ripped my clothes off!" She buried her face in McCoy's chest.

Bones tried to calm her. "Look, we have security out looking for him right now. I'm going to go back and see if he's still in your quarters." He took out a phaser and placed it on stun.

"I'm going with you." she said.

They returned to her quarters and found the Evil Kirk had left. "Stay inside until I come back for you in a few minutes and take you to the real Kirk." McCoy said after checking to make sure she was alone. "Don't open the door for anyone but me! Understand?"

She nodded unable to speak. She could not believe it. A duplicate, an imposter was on the Enterprise.

Jim was weak. It was very hard for him to make decisions. He wanted to go to Nyota, but his men were on the verge of freezing to death. He didn't know what he was going to do. He looked over at Spock who was watching him and he knew that he was concerned about his mental condition.

Bones then came into his quarters with Nyota. He smiled at her but noticed immediately that she was upset.

"What's wrong?"

Bones looked at him. "It appears your other self tried to rape her."

Jim looked at her and was shocked.

Spock stood up and addressed Nyota. "It appears Lieutenant that there was a transporter malfunction that produced a duplicate of the captain. This duplicate has all of his negative qualities. Without his other half, our captain is becoming weaker. I am only revealing this information to you because your being here with him is only a further distraction for his already weakened mental condition. I am requesting that you return to your duties or to your quarters."

"Now wait a minute, Spock!" McCoy fumed. "That decision is up to the captain and not you."

Kirk held up his hand. "Gentlemen, please. Give the Lieutenant and I a moment alone, please."

Spock nodded "May I remind you, captain of the men-"

"I am aware of the men, Spock. Give us a moment please!" he snapped.

"Very well" Spock said and both he and McCoy exited his quarters.

Jim turned to her, a look of concern on his face. He could not bear the thought of her being afraid of him.

"Nyota, you know that I would never harm you. I am sorry. Did he hurt you?"

"Not really." she said smiling "Your evil self was upset about having to wait two more weeks and called me a teasing bitch. He also left me a little gift." She showed him the bite mark on her neck.

Kirk laughed "Ah, well I must confess that I am anxious. I guess that part of me is just a little more anxious." He kissed the spot where she was bitten.

"Is there anything I can do, Jim." she asked looking at him. Now this was her Jim, not the madman she saw earlier!

"Yes, pray." he said looking serious. "It is getting harder and harder for me to make decisions. Spock is right. I am in a weakened condition. I would prefer if you would only deal with me on a professional level until things return to normal. I have to use all my energy to focus on the problem at hand."

"I understand" she said smiling

"I knew you would." he replied kissing her.

She left his quarters and Jim wondered what in the world he was going to do.

It worked! Kirk stepped off the transporter PADD as one person again. He had held his other self and wondered how things would turn out. It bothered him that a part of himself was like that. He had attacked Rand and almost raped Nyota. He surmised that everyone had a dark side and he was glad that his was back where it belonged.

The captain returned back to the bridge glad to back together in one piece. Rand was watching him. He wasn't exactly sure what to say to her. Their conversation was awkward somewhat, but they got through it. He wondered if Nyota had heard about his other self attacking Rand. She and Janice after all were friends. The evil Kirk was a part of him. Did he secretly want Rand and maybe he just wasn't aware of it? He had always thought her to be beautiful but totally off limits as his Yeoman. What would Nyota think?

He was glad that she was off duty and did not witness the exchange between himself and the Yeoman. He needed time to reflect. He did not know how he would answer her if she pushed the notion that he secretly desired Rand.

The rest of his shift was uneventful. People were still talking about the two Kirks and he knew that the chatter would continue for a while. He took some ribbing from Bones good naturedly, but secretly he was worried about what Nyota thought. He didn't want anything upsetting things this late in the game. They were so close!

He thought about all that happened and he felt that while Rand was a good looking woman, he only wanted Nyota. Would she believe him? He hoped so. What happened to him was an unusual situation. Well he might as well face her and get it over with.

He got up, glad to exit the bridge for a while, nodding to Spock. He needed to see Nyota, and reassure her that things were alright.

Jim was disappointed when he arrived and did not find Nyota at his quarters. She usually stopped by when she knew he was off duty. He wondered if she was angry with him.

He sent her a message requesting her to come to his quarters. He was so tired, he laid across the bed. Being split in two and then put back together was totally exhausting.

He heard her when she entered and got up. She came over to him "Hi Jim. I got your message. Are you alright?"

He looked at her and was relieved. She seemed concerned and not angry.

I'm just tired. I guess being two people and then one again can be a bit exhausting." He studied her face. "You still love me?"

She smiled. "Of course. I was talking to Janice earlier."

He tried not to panic wondering what Rand had told her. He glanced at her warily.

He was quiet for a moment. "Is there something you want to ask me?"
He didn't want her to think that he was chasing Janice.

"No, not really. I'm just glad you are alright." she said smiling. Seeing her concern filled him with relief.

He led her to the bed and pulled her on top of him. "I don't want you to doubt me now. We've come to far. I always thought Janice was beautiful-"

"I know" she said interrupting him. "However you have always been a perfect gentleman. You don't do crew. See I remember." she said kissing him.

"You are my crew, too" he said smiling at her while his hands began to roam over her body.

"Yes, but I'm a special exception. You've got me for the long haul" She rubbed her body against his.

"I like that."he murmured against her neck.

She felt him grow hard as she lay on top of him. "We can make it, Jim. It's just a couple more weeks, you know."

He sat up and she slid onto the bed. "I know, and I have great plans for us that day. You know both of us are off duty for three whole days. I saw to that. I hope nothing pops up to interrupt us."

She laughed. "Keep your fingers crossed!"

He winked at her. "You can be sure of that!"
