I finished my meal and I made my decision right then and there. I made a small gesture to draw attention to myself and said ⌠I decided I want the operation right now. I think I want to stay awake for it as well because I want to witness my final transformation.■
Naraku smiled and said ⌠Very well then but first you I will leave you a bit of time with Kohaku because he hasn▓t been completely honest with you I▓m afraid. He would like to come clean with you about a few things before this happens.■
I looked at Kohaku in confusion as Naraku left the chamber. He began to cry so I drew him in to an embrace. ⌠What▓s wrong?■ I whispered in to his ear.
⌠Naraku wants a complete jewel.■ Kohaku sobbed pushing me away from him.
I looked him deep in the eyes as the realization set in. I realized that he had sold me to Naraku and I was going to be the demon▓s next meal.
⌠So we▓re both going to die then?■ I asked him.
Kohaku▓s sobbing went in to full blown crying and I took him in my arms. ⌠I▓m so sorry. If I had known it would end like this I would never of brought you here. I thought I could live a life were I was loved. Instead I find out the man who raised me for the past few years was planning on killing me after I completed this last task for him.■ He choked out.
⌠as long as I know I have your heart in the end I▓ll be more then willing to face eternity in hell as long as I can have one moment of heaven with before I go there. I said as I kissed him on his lips, causing him to go silent.
When I broke off the kiss he picked up a knife. ⌠I▓ll give you my heart. I▓ll let you take it with you to the end.■ He said as he cut two crisscrossing lines on his chest and handed the knife to me.
⌠Do you want me to remove your shard before or after I do this to you?■ I asked him.
⌠I deserve the pain the will come from it. I▓ve done so much evil I fear I▓ll be sent to a place worse then Hell.■ Kohaku said as he began to cry again.
⌠I▓ll be the one burning in Hell, Kohaku. I▓m truly an evil person. You▓re a kind hearted young man who was manipulated by evil. If I had never come to this time then this wouldn▓t have happened. I hope you can forgive because you▓re only going to get half your wish. I will accept your heart but I▓ll end you▓re suffering before I do it.■ I said trying to comfort him.
⌠Is there anything more I can do for you?■ Kohaku asked me, offering the me the knife.
⌠When my sister gets up there tell her I▓m sorry.■ I said as I took the knife he offered to me.
⌠I promise.■ He whispered as he kissed me one last time. I plunged the knife in to his back and cut the shard out of him. I watched in morbid fascination as he suddenly collapsed like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
⌠Now for me to keep my promise to you my love.■ I said as I kissed his cold, dead lips. I broke off the kiss and cut open his chest.
As I cut his chest open I allowed myself to cry since he couldn▓t see the hurt and anger he caused me. I loved him too much to hurt him by showing what I felt for him even after what he had done to me.
Once I had cut away all the flesh I broke his ribs cage apart and looked at his heart. I took it gently in one hand as I carefully cut it free of the veins and arteries that were barely holding it in place.
My tear, which small trickles seconds before turned in to the most intense crying I▓ve ever done in my life as I ate his heart raw.
I placed the knife over my chest and cut my shard out of my own heart. As I bled to death I crawled over to Kohaku and pressed my lips against his for one final kiss. As the last of my life slipped away I heard Naraku laughing.
