Kikyo's Heart
Disclaimer: I don't own any Inuyasha characters.
------
I was once a boy who dreamed of being a fierce warrior. A boy who soon found that as a fierce warrior, he could gain nothing. A boy... who gave up.
I joined with a group of friends, and we often played around. We never hurt anyone... well, we never killed anyone. It was how we did things, how we lived and survived.
One day, my friends and I were celebrating good fortune. We had a little much to drink... and after that, the only thing I remember doing was crawling out of an enormous fire. I don't know how I survived. After that...
I just wished I was dead. Only one person was keeping me from that goal. A beautiful girl, who I soon grew to love.
She cared for me, watched me, and waited for me to recover. I was so desperate to make her happy, to end her wait... And I made a fatal mistake.
I gave myself to the demons. I let them devour my body. In return, they promised me her love. When I came to show her, however...
I saw her with another. A half breed dog-demon, who didn't even appreciate her for who she was. I saw him, as my darling spoke.
"Do you think we are at all alike?" I saw her blush as though she were in love. Impossible. She was in love with me.
"Feh. I'm just waiting for the Shikon No Tama." Answered that dog.
"No..." She answered her own question, looking at him through pain-filled eyes. "I suppose... we're not."
My demons fought to gain control of my body. They felt my pain. They felt my rage. They understood my jealousy.
My vision turned red, then black.

Now I look back on those days, and think to myself many, selfish thoughts.
Now, all who know me hate me.
Now, my demons try to kill one who is but a shell of my beloved... And I am the only barrier.
Now I cannot control my own self.
Now my name is not my own.
Kikyo may have loved Onigumo... but she will never love this new me.
I am Naraku. And I am no one.
I am truly alone.
