Remote Sanity
Part two: Falling in love...With the enemy...
Inuyasha stopped in his tracks, just inches away from sealing Kouga's fate. He looked at his claws, poised for the kill, and dropped his arms to his sides, confused. 'Was I really going to kill him?!' he though incredulously. How could he ever do something so horrid to something so...beautiful...?
'Beautiful?!' his mind shouted. 'BEAUTIFUL?!!? Look at yourself! This is KOUGA. Now let's get to it!' But he couldn't. His arms felt like lead weights, his knees quavered, and his palms began to sweat. He felt heat rising in his cheeks.
Kouga felt differently, like something clicked in his head. He'd closed his eyes as Inuyasha charged and now he opened them since the final blow hadn't come. He put a hand to his forehead and then looked around, spotting Inuyasha hovering over him. There was a pained look on the hanyou's face as he stood there with claws poised. Kouga felt his heart leap. He smiled wistfully.
The little voice of reason inside his head felt Kouga's heart flutter. "GAH! Kill him! He's holding back! Kill him NOW! NOW DAMN YOU!" And when Kouga didn't move, the disembodied voice went on a rampage...well as much of a rampage as a disembodied voice possibly could, anyway.
Inuyasha reached forward, extending a hand to help the grounded youkai up. "Are...are you all right, Kouga?"
His conscience flared up in anger. 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU BLITHERING IDIOT?! If I'm not mistaken...the sweaty palms, the racing heartbeat. This is how you feel with Ka--Oh my GOD...you're in...UGH!'
Kouga blushed like a schoolgirl and took Inuyasha's hand, smiling bashfully. He glanced at Inuyasha and then sharply looked away, his face resembling the color of someone with a really, really bad sunburn or a tomato...whichever. "Um... I-uh...I'm fine thanks..." And that was pretty far from the truth, seeing as how the wolf youkai was torn up.
"What is wrong with you?! HE'S THE ONE WHO HURT YOU! Sic him! Come on!!! Snap outta it!" The voice whined.
Inuyasha clucked concernedly. He inhaled sharply and bit his lower lip. "Just look at you...I...can't believe I did this to you! We need to get you patched up right away!" The dog hanyou took off his shirt and undershirt and began tearing off pieces of fabric to cover the wounds. His bare chest was glistening with sweat from the earlier battle, and he panted from lingering exhaustion. He wrapped up one of Kouga's legs. "This will help."
The inner voice screamed at him. 'HELP?! Argh! He's your enemy! GET HIM! Kick him while he's down!! C'mon! Come oooon!' it begged. But the pleads fell upon deaf ears, as Inuyasha continued to bandage up his newfound crush.
Kouga caught sight of the Inu's sculpted chest and quickly wiped away at the drool forming. "Um no... Inuyasha really you don't have to-" And he winced when the hanyou hit a sore spot.
The voice growled. 'You had better not let him help you! KICK HIM IN THE FACE! COME ON! Bite him! ...Wait! DON'T BITE HIM!' At this point, it really didn't matter what the voice was saying because Kouga's attention was lost in the amber depths of Inuyasha's eyes.
Every time Inuyasha gingerly wrapped one of Kouga's toned arms, or his rippling chest, he would blush harder, gulping down his embarrassment like medicine. He leaned closer to wrap a bandage fully around the youkai's middle. Suddenly, he realized they were chest-to-chest, and his lips were mere inches away from those soft, lovely lips he longed to taste.
'NOOO! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!' cried the voice in desperation. 'You can't do this to me!!' But Inuyasha disregarded the begging. He slowed the movement of his hands around the wolf demon's body, prolonging their physical contact.
Kouga batted his eyelashes and sighed. "Inuyasha..." His whispered softly but couldn't carry out with the kiss because his voice of reason wouldn't let him.
DB's bucket was nearly filled with drool (she kept it around just in case) as the two bishies were so close to kissing. "KISS HIM!" She shouted at the TV.
"DAMNIT! Ok! Time for more intervention!" Db snatched up the remote and switched the dial from mild attraction to all-consuming love. "KISS HIM!!!!" She shouted, pointing the remote at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha, for reasons beyond his control, couldn't handle his output of hormones. He passionately, yet gently, grasped each of Kouga's shoulders and thrust himself into a soft, tender kiss with the youkai. Their lips interlocked, and Inuyasha could feel himself working his hand around the other man's waist.
'OH, THAT'S IT!' shouted the agitated voice of Inuyasha subconscious. He was FURIOUS. This was HIS body, and HIS rules. Just WHAT was going on?!
Kouga's hand went up to Inuyasha's face, his thumb stroking the hanyou's cheek tenderly as he was pulled into the all-consuming love he suspiciously felt all of a sudden. Oh well! He didn't particularly mind.
The voice in his head, however, was retching up his nonexistent intestines due to the horrific happenings to what once was his own body.
Inuyasha progressively deepened the kiss between himself and the wolf demon, pushing his body closer to Kouga's in a somewhat domineering way ( :D). He wrapped his arm tighter around Kouga's waist.
'FOR THE LOVE OF...' the voice in his head reacted, bursting with rage. 'Enough is ENOUGH!' He decided to take matters into his own hands. 'Hey, get your body offa mine!' he commanded the wolf demon's conscience.
Meanwhile, Aiko and her ADD were growing somewhat bored, regardless of the shounen-ai ensuing. She wiped the drool off her chin and looked deviously at Db, plotting. "Oh Db..." She readied for the pounce.
Kouga's voice of reason paused in the emptying of its non-existent stomach to shriek like a 5-year-old girl and run about in circles. "My mind is haunted! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" Then he tripped and fell on his nonexistent face and that's when it hit him, "Hey! What the hell are you doing here?!" The voice shouted, jumping to his "feet" and facing in the direction he supposed Inuyasha's voice would be in. "Shouldn't you be pulling that filthy mutt offa me?! HE'S THE ONE ON TOP AFTER ALL!" and then he shuddered once the perverted thoughts kicked in.
Back in the lair of the two fangirls, Db was mindlessly watching the yaoi-ness unfold on the screen. Her eyes were tearing up. "IT'S SO BEAUTIF-AH!" She cried as she found herself being tackled by her ADD-infected friend.
Inuyasha's head-voice narrowed his nonexistent eyes at the other invisible entity, growing more and more angry by the minute. 'UGH! I don't care!' he screamed. 'I can't seem to take control of him! It's as if something ELSE is controlling him! So it's up to you, wimp!' He snorted arrogantly. 'Do some work for a change. That stupid wolf certainly needs it.'
'You're one to talk! At least he can realize it when he wants someone! And I can tell ya now, he's never wanted that flea-riddled, short-tempered, arrogant, ignorant bastard of a mutt!!!" The voice then frowned...'Well until a few seconds ago at least. Ewwww.' And with that he proceeded to shudder and try really hard not to retch up his "organs" again at the thought of what Inuyasha was planning to do to his body.
'Hmph,' Inuyasha's conscience huffed. 'Well at least he knows who's boss,' he declared, as if it were declaration-worthy. He walked back and forth...or did as much walking as a disembodied voice could. 'Now if I can't control my body...and you can't control yours...' He made a pensive "face". 'You don't suppose...?'
'What? That two crazy fan-girls have gotten a hold of something that can drastically alter this world as we know it?' He frowned at his shockingly accurate guess and then said, 'NAH! That's impossible. Inventions like that don't exist...right?'
