Welcome to Chapter Eleven!
First off I'd like to thank Ravona for the suggestion! It's very good and would make for a very unexpected twist in the story! n.n Thank you very much I may just do that!
Second, I still have slight writer's block, but hopefully as the writing of this chapter progresses it will become less stressful.
Now onto the story!

Kagura's Betrayal and Naraku's Loss
------- - - -- - - - ---------- - - --- ---------
Kagome's mind was no longer her own, it belonged to Kouga. She wasn't sure when or how but apparently she had fallen out of love with Inuyasha and in love with Kouga! And now when she finally realized how she felt two females tried to take him from her, one of them didn't even make sense! She was snapped out of her thoughts by a commotion, it seems that the other females had been two, Sango was no longer chasing Miroku and Ayame and Kagura were no longer fighting Kagome and each other for Kouga.
Every one's heads snapped at the sound of Kouga enraged roar. 'WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!" he glowered at the young healer as well as his right and left hand men, unsure of whom he should be blaming. Ginta and Hakkaku threw the potion, or so that's what he guessed it was, but Kyou was the only one he knew of that would make such a thing.
Hakkaku and Ginta hugged one another tightly in fear, "WE DIDN'T KNOW!" they had never seen their leader this upset… 'maybe we should wait a little longer to tell him about the tribe's problems…'
The yourouzoku leader just snarled and looked to the 'healer' as she called herself, "You probably had something to do with this! Well what the hell? I can understand Ayame reacting to the potion, but KAGURA! THAT'S BULLSHIT!" he huffed, and he puffed, and big bad wolf glared, oh did he glare! Then he noticed the women had released him and glared some more.
All eyes were now on Kyou, waiting for an explanation. Kagura didn't know what she was doing and hell she wanted to know just as much as the other sex crazed females! "My dear Kouga-kun, I did nothing. Your friends seemed to have just come across one of my aphrodisiacs is all."
Inuyasha blinked and glared with a force that rivaled Kouga, "You…you drugged Kagome?"
"To put it lightly, yes, yes I did. Only in her and Kouga-kun's best interest though I assure you."
Kagome's eyes widen she couldn't believe it! 'Does that mean…does that mean that I'm not in love? Am…am I just…' her eyes began to water, but she refused to let her tears fall.
"Her best interest? Her best interest? YOU THINK putting HER LIFE in DANGER WOULD BE in HER BEST INTEREST!" Kouga was beyond fuming, how could this woman say this?
"Wait, does that mean Sango might die?" Miroku was shocked to say the least. He wasn't ready to bed Sango, but he didn't want her to die!
However, the hanyou was still in a state of shock, 'Kagome's life is in danger? How what will happen? There must be some way to save her…'
Kyou chuckled slightly at hearing Kouga's muffled prayer 'please let Kagura's life be in danger…' how nice… "No I do not think her life is in any danger." Kyou walked up to the box and lifted it, sniffing it lightly, "From the smell I'd say this is a different one from the one I used on Kouga and Kagome. While Kagome is in a demonic heat, this only ups the sex drive and is directed towards the first man seen or a man that the woman has strong feeling for. In Kagura's case I can only assume by the reactions that it was at first sight rather than feeling." She dipped her hand into the powder and casually licked some of it off, "yes, this one will leave Sango's life intact."
"This potion's probably demon based too right?" Kouga's glared didn't lessen as he waited for the so-called healer to nod in response, "Why the hell are all of your potions made for demon females anyway?" his twitched in irritation.
"Because human females either never want to use them or want something stronger."
Ginta blinked dumbly, "Hold on, if the potion is meant for women, why aren't you clinging or trying to maul anyone?"
Kouga blinked that's right, why wasn't she? He looked to the girl also curious on the answer.
"I actually have some self control…" she smirked as the offended females glared and/or growled at her, "But it also probably has something to do with the fact that I make these potions and probably have built up an immunity.
Kouga sighed, "Alright, I know about Kagome, but how do we cure the rest of them, I don't like the idea of multiple mates and becoming a breeding stud, especially when it involves Kagura…" the name was pronounced with a nice amount of venom and hatred spilling of off it.
"To tell the truth I'm surprised they aren't cured yet…I would have thought you'd been mated several times over by all three of them by now." Kyou laughed and continued, "There are two ways to get them off you…or to get Sango off Miroku, three ways can be done for Sango I'm sure…"
Inuyasha did not like this…At least now he knew why Kagome smelled like 'that' all this time around Kouga… "Well, how do we fix this…I don't really care about the damned wolf or what Sango and Miroku do, but I have business with Kagura and her maker! And I'm not letting Kouga have Kagome!" 'or letting Kagome die…I'll have to ask about that later…'
"Sorry, Inu-kun…Nothing can be done for Kagome, if she doesn't mate with Kouga-kun she'll die…" after a loud pissed off 'what' from Inuyasha she continued, "As for the demon girls. Kouga you can either mate with them or I can use another potion to transfer the sexual energy to someone else or two others."
"The first one is defiantly out! Transfer them to Inuyasha!" Kouga pointed a clawed finger to the hanyou as emphasis.
"Fat chance you stupid wolf!" Inuyasha growled lowly at Kouga…
"Doesn't look like Inuyasha wants them." She went through her potions selecting one, opening it, and removing two pill like figures. "Have the two take one of these…they should listen to you seeing as they are under the influence, or most would, if they have stubborn personalities you might need to use a bit of 'persuasion'." She put slight prominence on the 'persuasion' part and gave them to Kouga.
The wolf leader looked to Ayame and Kagura, more glaring than looking at Kagura, "Take this." He ordered the both of them, surprised by the response he got.
"Kouga, under normal circumstances I would take it for you. But if I do now Kagome will have you all to herself and I can't let that happen!" Ayame glared stubbornly at her fiancé and future mate.
"Feh! As though I'd listen to you wolf boy! I may take it after you become mine!" The wind user smirked.
Kouga growled and looked to the healer, "now what?"
"Easy." The healer walked up to Kouga taking the pills from him and then smiled sweetly, "Say 'ah'."
"Say wha…?" it might not have been 'ah' but as soon as the wolf opened his mouth Kyou plopped one of the pills in and used her free arm to shove Kagura into Kouga, hard. Unfortunately for them, or for Kouga anyway what happen next was unavoidable.
Kouga's eyes went wide, he couldn't believe this, not only had he fallen for one of the most stupid tricks ever, but he was kissing his arch-nemesis! This couldn't get any worse.
Some how through the power of the lip lock the pill was transferred into the wind demons mouth and she, being surprised, swallowed it. 'Eww! It tastes horrible, worse than what the last one smelled!' she closed her eyes and grimaced in disgust; she didn't feel the hands on her head or the rotating of her position, all she knew was that when she opened her eyes she saw the most handsome looking piece of stud she'd ever seen… 'what was his name again? Oh well…' once more her face flushed and she rushed towards the good-looking man, latching onto him. "MINE!" every one gasped at whom she had grabbed, the man made sickening noises, and his companions laughed.
"Get her off of me! I don't wanna die!" Hakkaku was flapping his arms not unlike a constipated chicken as Ginta laughed at his friend's misfortune, Kouga could only shake his head; he felt sorry for his white haired friend.
Kyou smirked at the events and turned towards Ayame, "Ok Aya-chan your turn, let's let fate decide who you'll bond to, Ginta…" at this Ginta's laughing stopped and he 'epped' quietly debating on whether or not he should run away, "or Inuyasha." Inuyasha glared and muttered something like 'it sure as hell better not be me…' and 'I'll kill you' this of course made our dear Kyou smirk in amusement.
"No! Kouga's the only one for me! He'll be my mate!" The white wolf continued to hold Kouga's arm as Kagome subconsciously hissed at her.
"Will you take the medicine if Kouga promises to mate you?" Kyou looked to the red head in mock pleading.
"He already promised me that!"
This girl was getting on her nerves… 'how annoying…' Kyou's left eye twitched slightly and she smiled, "Dear Aya-chan…" then as suddenly as the smile appeared it faded, only to replaced by an evil looking scowl and narrowed eyes, "Take the damned pill!" with that Kyou leaped at the girl wolf and somehow force fed her the potion in pill form.
Every one watched as Ayame cringed at the taste then only seconds later was attached to the gray haired wolf demon who in turn screamed and flailed his arms with Hakkaku, both looking as though were having a severe panic attack and/or seizer.
Off in a distant land some one watched the scene, a small girl with white hair and impassive face watched them all through a mirror. The young looking girl walked into a different room speaking in a dreary lifeless like voice, "Naraku…"
A man sitting in the middle of the room looked to his creation, the one he called 'Kanna', "What news do you have for me, Kanna? Kagura has failed in her mission?" his eyes narrowed as he spoke.
"Kagura is on there side now… For the time being. It seems as though she has let a potion take control of her."
"I see. I knew she was useless… She has served her purpose and has stayed here long enough…" Naraku held out his hand, as though calling for something to appear, yet nothing happened, "What?" He looked shocked and stood from his spot he walked past Kanna and to two jars, the ones that held Kanna's and Kagura's hearts. One was missing…how could this have happened with out his knowledge? Did Kagura really have the nerve to steal back her heart? No, even if she did Naraku would have known. Someone or something was able to get past his forces, his barrier, and past him as well…
'Kagura's death will have to wait…' "Kanna, do you have any idea what has happened to Kagura's heart?" he eyed the white girl, she wouldn't have either. Naraku was far too much in control of both of them.
"I do not know." Kanna stared blankly at the jars, mutely wondering what had happened to her sister's heart. Who would have been able to do such a thing out side of Naraku's knowing?
"Heh. Fools…" A man cloaked in black lay far to the East, out of Naraku's knowledge and lair, in an unknown forest. He stared up into the sky, smirking, "When will filth like Naraku know you can't control something lost? That girls concoctions have more effect than what even she knows I bet!"
He looked to a bag he held, in it was a heart. A heart that needed to be returned to its rightful owner, a wolf demon with white spiked hair.
