confront your darkness

I felt a lot of my chakra leave me before I hear a new voice start to laugh. "Wow you are pathetic," said the voice. looking at the source my eyes widen seeing. she looked just like me, but her whisker marks were more pronounced, and her eyes were red with black surrounding it.

"Who are you," I said as I stood up on my feet.

"The real you," said the clone.

"Yeah right," I said.

"Where do you think all those negative emotions you try to hide go straight to me," she said. "If I was in charge I would not have been caught and turned into a princes cock sleeve."

"You bitch," I said charging at her.

"Oh, does the truth hurt," she said. she dodged my punch and countered with a knee into my stomach. i stopped it with my other hand and used it to back up. "You are nothing but a pathetic bitch. the only good thing about this is you are starting to realize how much those looser held you back."

"They are not looser they were my friends," I said. I would not realize till later i said that in past reference.

"Oh, please they ignored you and treated you like dirt till you started to prove useful. they were nothing but liars and losers. Now look where you are all alone **** to be a Daimyo's cock sleeve and future baby maker," she said.

"She is much more than that," said the prince breaking into the conversation.

"Indeed," said Esdeath. "Despite being sabotaged and prevented from showing her true potential she was strong enough to make me try against her."

"And I can see with proper training she will make a fine Ryukage," said Ryu. "Also, she will never be alone again. she is one of my mates and I won't let anyone take her from me." he said the last part with determination and made my breath hitch in my throat. I also thought I saw an image of a dragon appear behind him.

"So, you are our master," she said. the word master coming out with a hint of venom. "I guess if I kill you before I take over, I won't have to worry about that seal. she pulled out a kunai and charged at him.

"Stop," I yelled as I ran at her. he did not move from his spot and just smirked. I saw a barrier appear around him stopping her kunai.

"Sadly, I cannot get involved in this fight," he said. "it is something my wife must accomplish on her own."

"You think that weakling can beat me," she said. while she was talking, I was sneaking up behind her with my own kunai.

"Yes, while Kumo believe one must accept their inner darkness. Dragon country believes you must beat it to be free from your past burdens and move on," he said. "And I am confident she can beat you especially with how arrogant you are to turn your back to her."

as soon as he finished, I wrapped my arm around her throat and with one quick motion slit it. she soon faded away into chakra and flew into me. I felt a sudden boost in strength and that I had better control of my chakra than ever before. a jolt of pain suddenly went through my head and clutched it. I fell to my knees as the pain got worse before the world turned dark.

"Thus, begins stage 2," was the last thing I heard.
