Chapter 3

"Why did he act so surprised? Why did he seem mad at my love for him?" As I ran crying I asked myself those over and over again. "I don't understand, last night he professed his love for me, said he wants me to be his. What changed?" Even though only half of him loved me, the evil side of him had accepted it, or at least I thought he did. By now, I came to a stop and collapsed in a field of flowers. I was hurt and confused.

~Last Night~

"Naraku…" I moaned as he kissed up my neck to my ear. I felt his hands move to remove my clothes. "Wait…I need to tell you something before I get too scared to."

"What?" He pulled back and looked into my eyes, waiting for me to speak.

"I love you." I replied looking into his eyes, but when I saw shock, I looked away scared that he was about to reject me.

"I love you as well, I never told you because I figured the evil side of me stopped you from ever opening your heart to me." He used his hand and pulled my face to his, making me look into his eyes. I saw the love and acceptance that he was feeling towards me. He smiled and kissed my lips. "Be mine." He kissed my jaw. "Forever." He kissed my neck.

"Yes!" I cried out as he bit my neck softly.

~Flashback Over~

"Was it all a lie? Did he tell me all that so I'd kill those people?" I looked up at the sky and wondered, I didn't even hear someone coming up behind me.

"No. he didn't lie, it was his evil side that lied. He does love you but his evil side won't accept it." I turned to see who spoke and it was the other me. I sighed, I didn't want to be followed but it seems like she was going to be helpful. "I can help you with this problem."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll learn. Right now, we must fight to see who will be in control when we join." She ran towards me, no weapons or anything. I raised my sword and sent her flying into a tree. Instantly she was on her feet and coming for me again, as if she wasn't harmed at all.

As we fought, I began to grow tired. I could tell her and I were evenly matched and would end up killing each other if we continued this fight. So, I made a decision.

"If I agree to have equal control with you, will you help me save the man I love, and destroy the evil?" I asked as the other me slowly got to her feet again. I could see her thinking about it, contemplating whether or not it was the right choice.

"Very well. Come here." I watched her as I hesitantly walked over to her. As she touched me, we were engulfed in a purple and gold swirling light. When the light faded, we were one. Our hair color was a mix of each other's, silver with red through it. Our eyes were also a mix, the left was purple and the right was golden.

"Finally, we are whole once again." I smiled and stuck my sword in my sash. I could hear the other me inside of my head, and thankfully what she had to say was going to be very helpful.

I raced back to the main battle. I now knew how to kill the evil side of Naraku. I knew how to save the man I loved. As I walked from the tree line, I saw a disturbing site. Dead demons were all around. Naraku was attacking the inu brothers, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, and it seemed like he was losing. Kagura was fighting the humans, and also was losing. Blood from various people was everywhere.

I slowly made my way to Naraku and the inus. I stood next to Naraku and entered his barrier.

"Naraku," I said in a dark, emotionless tone. He turned to me and stared, shocked at the tone of my voice. "It's time for your evil ways to come to an end." I pulled Naraku's face to mine and kissed his lips. As I kissed him, the same purple and gold light was swirling around us, but this time, when the light faded there were three people.

The good Naraku fell to the ground while the evil one moved to attack me. The inu brothers took this as their chance to attack him and lead him away from me. Once that Naraku was distracted, I fell to my knees next to my Naraku.

"What…what did you do?" He asked as he looked up at me. His voice was scratchy, but still sexy.

"I took the evil half out of you. So you can live a life without him ruining it." I attempted to smile, but I was so scared he would be angry with me. I was so glad that I was wrong to be scared.

"I love you!" He said pulling me to him and locking my lips in a passionate kiss. We could feel something different in this kiss. While our other kisses were full of lust, this one was full of love and understanding. We knew right then, we were meant to be together and the evil Naraku would have just gotten in the way and ruined everything.
