Haha straight to the point.

Welllll up until end of vol 6

Spoiler for Vol 6:

The Army tried to kill the "God on the other Side of the Moon/月の裏側の神々" (is there furigana reading for this? no actual book nor scan ftl, and for now, I'll call this Other God for short) inside Taito by putting a "Tenma/天魔" in there to kill the other entity. That crap all got mixed together and drove Taito berserk, creating Black Rabbit. It's worth mentioning this Black Rabbit is overpowered as hell and Taito died uncountable amount of times while the Army experimented on him.

Spoiler for Further Twist:

Now, Taito could only see Himea in the beginning because of the Other God's interference when he was a kid, and the contract Himea formed actually brainwashed Taito into being forever loyal to Himea (a genuine poison so to speak), and Taito originally actually liked Haruka not Himea. Himea also lost the majority of her powers to Taito in this process.

Spoiler for Super awesome end:

Black Rabbit went berserk and tried to kill everything (starting with Mrai's mother ... who literally couldn't even touch him, and she's crazy strong) to fulfill the Prophecy (no idea what the heck this is, only random hints were given up until this point, something about 'Himea' will destroy the world etc.). Himea wanted to and eventually convinced the Black Rabbit to let her take back the power stored in Taito from the original contract, so that she could help purge Tenma and the Other God in his body; however, now that Black Rabbit's gone and Himea took back her original power, Taito went completely crazy being unable to control Tenma and the Other God's influences.

Tenma surfaced at this point and said to make Taito happy, Himea should suicide because she is a disgusting being that would only brainwash him and cause him unhappiness. Himea was unable to withstand the verbal-mental assault (she's already half broken down because she believed Taito's suffering were all because of her (and Taito really got $()#ed really badly, something I'm not conveying too well here) and decided to use the poison, which would get rid of both Tenma and Other God's influences, to suicide. Taito semi regain conscious at this point (half of his eyes is normal, and half is completely black and crazy) and managed to stop Himea by neutralizing her poison in a second.

Taito then told her that even now he still loved her (remember she took back her original poison so Taito's brainwash got reversed)** and berated himself for always making her cry, so he asked her to make another poison for the two entities inside him, which she did.

Half way through injecting the poison, he stopped her, telling her that he wanted those two entities' powers to protect her so she shouldn't completely purge them; at the same time, he asked her to form the contract with her again to show that he still loved her (Himea's raining tears by this point). They formed the contract and a super beefed up Taito is formed by this point.

**There's also a part involving another God that took Himea's power (when Taito got killed by Kurenai's brother for real, which you should've seen in the manga, and Himea wanted to revive him) and Taito's memory of loving Haruka (when Taito asked for powers to protect Himea) as exchange, but Himea killed this God and gave the memory back to Taito before taking back her power from Black Rabbit.

And ... that's pretty long, so I might've skipped stuff here and there. Others can fill in what I missed.
