Chapter 2-Dealing with the Devil inside your soul
(A/N: I forgot to ask what you thought of the first chapter? A little slow I know so I'll try to speed things up the best I can. No promises, but I will try.)
The storm grew fiercer as Inuyasha walked off the path and into a nearby forest. He needed to find shelter and fast to get out of the storm. He couldn't go back and have the people of the village he had just been to for shelter. Not in his condition anyway. He was starting to feel the effects of the snake venom. He found himself having to grab a tree near himself just to stay standing. He felt his vision get blurry as the rain seemed to get more and more intense and the heavy winds blew at him without mercy. As he pressed on he found himself near a high cliff and found a cave nearly buried by trees and rocks. Inuyasha used what strength he had and moved the rubble from the caves entrance and entered it for the shelter. "I guess the snake venom is more powerful then I thought," said Inuyasha to himself as he fell along the wall not far from the cave wall unconscious due to potency of the snake's venom.
"Hey! Wake up you moron!" said a muffled voice to Inuyasha who received a hit on his head when he didn't reply.
"OW! All right who ever did that is going to wish they were never born!" said Inuyasha as he got up from the ground...only to find he was no longer in the cave, but was surrounded by nothingness.
"You're already too late Inuyasha. You already wished you were never born," said a dark voice behind him.
Inuyasha turned around and saw out of sheer surprise...himself. His demon side self anyway. The silver haired figure was standing their in front of him now with a smile on his face that showed his demon teeth. Inuyasha himself discovered he was in his human form with his noticeable black hair. "Where am I?" said the human Inuyasha.
"Don't you know? It's actually quite obvious my human counterpart. Were inside our mind. A mind that we BOTH share. And personally I think it's about time I get MY fair share of it," said the demon Inuyasha demandingly.
"This must be a side effect of the snake demons venom because you...are...NUTS! Do you honestly believe that you are in a position to demand anything from me?" said the human Inuyasha who saw his demon counter part laughing.
"You don't get it do you? You don't...have...a choice. Even now the snake demons venom is destroying the body. OUR body. Your only hope for surviving the venom is if you give me...complete control of the body," said the demon Inuyasha with a smile.
"What! Do you remember the last time I let you out and gave you control? You nearly killed everyone in sight! If it wasn't for Sesshomorru of all people I would have been dead! You would have lived and I would have died...remember?" said the human Inuyasha.
"Oh please spare me your human honor and righteousness would ya! It's not like your side has be doing any better when it comes to not trying to kill me! At least I can focus on fighting without being weakened by human emotions all the time. You cared for Kagome and Kikyo with all your heart that when your in control you get put into near death situations because of them. At least I have power to heal after a fight. You don't and when the body dies from your human form I die. So in a sense you would be killing both of us. At least with me one lives and the other dies," said demon Inuyasha.
"At least I don't go around killing everything in sight like a damn animal!" said human Inuyasha who was really angry with his demon counter part.
"At least I DO fight! Unlike some coward of a human I know that's standing in front of me," the demon Inuyasha countered.
"What? That's crap! And even if I don't fight all the time at least I fight for what I believe in," said the human Inuyasha.
"What do you believe in my human counter part? Is it honor? Is it doing what is right? Or is it love for that special person. Is it Kagome? Kikyo? Because if it is then your wasting your time...and mine," said the demon Inuyasha.
"What are you talking about? I would fight for all those reason and those people...even if they were different order. There is nothing wrong with the way I feel. They allow me to make judgment calls in critical situations that you...can't," said human Inuyasha.
"Oh really? These two you love with all that is your side of our heart. Tell me my human counter part who was it that created the necklace that Kagome uses whenever she's upset?" said the demon form of Inuyasha.
"Kikyo, but she only did so we wouldn't steal the jewel. Something you wanted from the start. Not me!" said the human looking Inuyasha.
"Yeah really a job well done considering she PINNED US to a tree for 50 years! Not only that, but she gave Naraku a vast majority of the sacred jewel, which she now possesses to make our former master strong enough to make incarnations of himself. Not only that, but she's wanted and probably still does want to kill us and send us to hell! She's a real keeper my human side. Reeaaaaal good choice in picking someone you want to spend the rest of your life with," said demon Inuyasha clapping his hands in a sarcastic way.
"Shut up! It's not like you could ever choose some whom you love with great interest," said human Inuyasha.
"You want to compare your love interest with the fact that I have none! To be honest the reason I never chose one because I knew it wouldn't work out. But since you want to bring up love interests let me bring up your most recent one. Who is it that uses that very necklace on our necks on US whenever we tried to be nice or tried to speak what we thought," said the demon looking Inuyasha.
"Kagome, but it was because we deserved it and didn't know any better," said human Inuyasha.
"DESERVED IT! She once said 'sit' over 15 times and caused a massive hole in the ground in the shape of our body. And for what! All because we were curious on why she was angry. She assumed we were trying to pick a fight with her when all you and I both wanted were to know why the hell she was so depressed. Some love interest. You really know how to pick the love of your life," said demon Inuyasha who spit on the ground next to his human side.
"Its not..." said human Inuyasha, but found he couldn't continue because he realized that what he felt was in fact wrong and his demon side's words were surprisingly...right.
What's wrong? Demon your tongue?" said demon Inuyasha
"What is it you want from me?" said human Inuyasha.
"I need to take control of this body, our actions, and everything we do from here on out until the time is ready for you to achieve some form active command over the body. In your present state you are in no condition to run the body as it has been in the past. The time has come for a different...approach to things. What Totosai didn't tell my dear human side is that if you WILLINGLY give me control your soul remains intact and I am still able to wield Tetsuigia. He never told you this because he feared what I could do if I were allowed to have complete control over the body. All you have to do...is let me out," said demon Inuyasha as he started walking towards his human side.
"But...I...I...don't want to. I still don't even how bad the ramifications are from the spider amulet," said human Inuyasha who tried to step only to find himself backed up against an invisible wall.
"Enough with the spider amulet and what Naraku told you! You have been worried for two years and its making sick to think that your worried over the past when you should be thinking of the present and future. Our future survival that is," said the demon side Inuyasha who was now directly eye to eye and nose to nose with his human side.
"Very well. Just remember I have some sort of say in what you do. The moment you kill innocent people is when I step in. Understand? Know killing unless its necessary," said human Inuyasha as they were about to start the transformation process.
"I know that's the deal. And a deal is a deal," said the demon side as he stuck out his hand and the human side grabbed it and they shook each others hand in agreement to start the process.
