Alright, so I'm going to ask a few questions, but after I recap a few things.
I am a level 10 barbarian, playing around the elemental rage powers, two-weapon fighting, as well as sundering and causing enemies to scream as fire and ice filled rage hits them.
Last gaming session my party as of recently has ticked off a group of rather evil beings who are trying to bring back an extremely powerful beings, last play we ran into some of their higher up lackies inside of a town. There were a few casters, a ranger, as well as what seemed to be a barbarian, who struck my character with a large two handed sword. As it slashed me, it seemed to suck out some of my blood for a moment- which would then disappear from the sword as if it were drinking it. In a few more attacks it felt as if it were tugging at my soul, wanting to pull it out and away.
We defeated the men, sending most of them fleeing with a teleport or two- but the Barbarian we downed. Being that my character likes to take shiny swords which seem powerful as trophies, I couldn't resist the sword and started to wrap it up- when it spoke to me, calling me "friend," and telling me, "We're going to have fun together." Obviously it is either an intelligent item which may or may not be cursed, sadly I haven't seen the stats for my new- "friend," yet, but will be tomorrow. One thing I do know- it wants to stay on my person and won't leave.
I've had to make a few will save throws during the fight against it, as well as when it spoke to me- I have horrible will saves for a level 10 barbarian, a +1 to be exact. So this is where the questions start to run in.
How does a barbarian deal with a sword like this besides will saves? Is there a way to "remove" it from myself, such as remove curse? Is it possible to break intelligent items and destroy them (I have the breaker rage power,) so that if I can resist it and can possibly remove it from me for a moment, I could smash it?
Any suggestions?

Intellegent??? Very unfortunate word for spelling mistakes:)
Intelligent items all have an agenda or goal they want to accomplish through the PC. If that agenda parallels your own, no problem. If it doesn't, you'll get friction. If you go against it enough, the item may just leave your (ala Gollum dropping The One Ring). However, if it has a high ego score it may try to force you to do things/ take over your mind. You get a save against that immediately, then once every day if you fail. You also get a new save whenever something important happens (like beign forced to fight your friends or share your sweetroll). If you aren't afraid of losing control, just do the opposite of what the item wants and hope it leaves you instead of forcing you.

Hah- funny thing, I spelt Intelligent right throughout the post, but not in the title, how funny.
As for the item in question, it was interesting, but my party decided to remove it from me with a "Remove Curse." Then they told me it left me and didn't want me anymore, "But it wanted to be my friend." Oh well.
