Kagome smiled and played a little tune over and over in her head. She had finally decided how she was going to go about seducing her boyfriend. Of course, it would be easier if it were his full-demon side. Speaking of his other sides, they should really have their own names. Calling them all Inuyasha can be confusing.

Kagome turned to Inuyasha and asked, "What do you think we should call your other sides?"

"Huh? What's wrong with my name?" Inuyasha asked.

"Oh, nothing. It's just that calling all three of you Inuyasha could get confusing. Maybe you should be the one to think of them?" Kagome said and latched onto his forearm. Inuyasha felt his face heat up slightly and cleared his throat nervously.

'Hell yeah! Now, what do I want to be called?'

'How about Rokudenashi tosaku?' (Perverted asshole)

'Piss off.'

'Maybe I can get something exotic?'

'Wouldn't it be better to have a name that's similar to our original one? So we don't confuse anyone?'

'Good point. Hmm….'

"I'm going to call your human side Inu-chan," Kagome said.

'What!'

'Now isn't that cute?'

'Tell her to change it!'

"And I'll call your demon side Yash. What do you think?" Kagome asked and looked up at the hanyou.

'No! I don't approve!'

'Make her change those ridiculous names!'

"They love it," Inuyasha replied. Kagome smiled in glee and tweaked the hanyou's ear. Inuyasha wanted to laugh at his other half's reactions. They were cursing repeatedly and their anger was monumental.

'Half-breed!'

"I'll kick your ass!" Inuyasha said. The hanyou covered his mouth hastily and his eyes widened. Everyone stopped and watched him as a string of muffled curse words he uttered. Kagome covered Shippou's ears and watched him in horror. when the cursing stopped, the hanyou stood straight and cleared his throat. "Let's keep going."

"His mental health is unraveling before our eyes," Miroku commented.

"Yes. He'll drive himself crazy before sunset," Sango replied.

"Mutt's nuts. I never should have left Kagome with him! Look at him!" Kouga yelled.

~:~

Kagome approached Inuyasha slowly and quietly. He had left camp to hunt for their dinner. Luckily, she had found him with little trouble. He didn't seem to notice her yet.

Snap.

Kagome froze as a white rabbit stood up straight and its beady eyes stared at her before it began hopping away. She heard Inuyasha cursed before he stood and turned to her. She was 99% sure that he could still catch it if he perused it. Withdrawing under his gaze, Kagome muttered an apology.

"This better be important Kagome."

"It is. I need to go home," Kagome said with her shoulders squared and her head high. She had already come up with a story and everything.

"Okay. Why?" he said and folded his arms.

"Because I need lady things," Kagome replied.

"Underwear is not a necessity, Gome," Inuyasha replied and cursed. His demon howled in laughter as Kagome's eyes went wide. "That wasn't me!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Uh, sure. What ever you say Inuyasha. You should really control what you say," Kagome said and rubbed her forearm.

"You're more crazy than I gave you credit for Mutt."

Inuyasha growled before turning annoyed eyes to the wolf who was leaning casually against a tree. Kagome hung her head. There went her excuse and plans. "What the hell do you want?"

"Obviously, you're too insane to be around normal people so I'm here to watch over you."

'Told you. He just wants Kagome!'

"What?" Inuyasha asked.

"Are you deaf or stupid?"

"Kiss my ass you fucked up wolf!" Inuyasha replied.

'Can I speak please? You two speak more than I do!'

'Fine. We'll keep out.'

'Whatever.'

"Don't get hostile Mutt. See Kagome? He's unstable. Get behind me," Kouga said and stood in front of the Miko. Kagome rolled her eyes at the wolf. He could be so dense. Between him and Inuyasha, she didn't know who was worse. They could both give a brick wall a run for its money. She moved in front of him.

"Inuyasha, can I go home or not?" Kagome asked.

"Of course," Inuyasha said. Kagome smiled and clapped once.

"Great! I'm gonna go pack!" she said and ran back to camp.

"Wait! Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled after her. The wolf watched the hanyou with a suspicious look. Inuyasha turned to him and glared. Somehow, this was all the wolf's fault. "What's your problem wolf? Jealous that Kagome likes me more?"

"Of course not! Kagome's just going crazy. You're rubbing off on her," the wolf said with his nose in the air and his arms crossed.

"I'm certainly rubbing on her alright. But, hey. She's not complaining," Inuyasha said. He was about to yell at his demon side, but the shocked face the wolf had cause him to howl in laughter instead.

Kagome came back to see Inuyasha Laughing against a tree and Kouga-red in the face- and stuttering. "T-that's just w-wrong! You-you mongrel!"

Kagome knew she was going to be sorry for asking this but, "What's going on?"

Kouga turned to her at once and said, "This dirty bastard is telling vicious lies on you Kagome. I know that you would never allow him to do such horrific things to you!"

"Would you like me to draw you a picture as a souvenir wolf?" INuyasha said and continued laughing. The wolf continued to yell at the hanyou, but Kagome ignored him. Inuyasha was laughing. He was slightly red in the face. She had never seen him so happy…

"Kagome, tell me it's not true!" Kouga said and held her hands. Kagome shook him off and went to the hanyou's side.

"Maybe it is, Kouga. I don't know what he said," she said and waited for the hanyou to take her to the well.

"You wanna leave now?" he asked. She nodded. Kouga watched as Inuyasha kneeled in front of her and Kagome got on the hanyou's back. Kouga felt something boil inside off him at the sight of his Kagome leaving with his rival. Why did he get her? It doesn't make sense.

Why would a half-breed get a girl like Kagome? Not only that, but he was with her incarnation. How did he get so lucky? Did the gods favor him for some reason? They must have. He was still alive after so many years. Hanyou usually died young, but he survived. Why?

"Doesn't make sense does it?"

"How's there!" Kouga yelled and took a battle stance, "Show yourself coward!"

"Fine. No need to yell," a high voice chimed. It was sort of bell like. It was soprano and soft. When Kouga saw the person of whom the voice belonged, he was stunned into silence. It was a slender woman about 5'7". She had pale skin and was donned in a light blue kimono with hot pink flowers scattered on it. Her pink obi held a fan which she pulled out. She hid her lavender colored eyes behind her pale purple fan and giggled lightly. Her long, lavender hair blew with the wind.

Kouga swallowed loudly and watched her warily. "What did you say to me?"

"I asked if it made sense," she said and approached a tree. The wolf prince continued to watch her. She tapped a tree branch with her index finger and a bright, red apple grew out. Kouga watched with wide eyes as she began to delicately eat the apple. "Why does a half-breed get the woman you've been devoting your life to? It doesn't seem fair."

"So? What's your point!" Kouga yelled.

"Stop yelling. My point is this: if you want her, you should fight for her. But, you're probably too much of a coward to do that. Either way, she won't take you. Even if you somehow manage to beat the hanyou, she won't run like a whore into the arms of her lover's attacker. It's basic female stuff," she said and continued to eat her apple.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Kaoru. And you will be mine," she said and stared the wolf in his eyes. Kouga froze up and began to panic. He couldn't move or look away. He could only smell the scent of lavender as a purple mist surrounded his feet and wafted up to his nostrils. As the demon's irises turned blood red and everything went black. The woman walked over to the wolf's motionless body. His eyes were blank and he was completely under her spell. "You will bring the Miko to me. Do not allow the hanyou to follow you. Your mistress commands this of you."

"Yes." Kouga said in a far away voice. He blank eyes transitioned back into his dark brown one's but also with a darker look to them. Kaoru stepped back and sent away the wolf. He was easy to control. Naraku had made it seem as though this would be hard. Hopefully, the wolf could capture the girl without the half-breed noticing anything. If not, she would have to make the hanyou hers as well. No mad could resist her once she set her sights on him.

Oh, no! The story is building into its climax! Kaoru is a sneaky seductress who is after Kagome! Oh no! With Kouga under her spell, will she succeed! BTW, Kaoru means "fragrance". Review you guys.

Word of the Day:

'roid rage

n

violence or aggression: an outburst of violent or aggressive behavior supposedly caused by taking too many anabolic steroids to improve athletic performance (slang)

Also! I need another poll done you guys!

I need to know if you guys would like a lemon when I actually get around to Inuyasha and Kagome mating. If you don't want the lemon I won't do one. It'll be like one of those times where the characters start touching and then it says "…they continued to fully explore each other well into the night. Forever bonding themselves to each other…" and then they wake up naked next to each other. So, vote!
